After Buying Marvel, I Became the King of Hollywood - Chapter 244
After a few compliments to each other, Cruise asked about the new project.
“Kevin, do you have a suitable project as our first film after signing.”
Cruise’s tone was a little eager.
He was really worried too.
Although there are two series of movies, but this is obviously not enough for Tom Cruise.
Commercial films are a shortcut to becoming a superstar, but in terms of status in the circle, he and Tom Hanks are still close to each other.
Tom Hanks belongs to the type who can write and can fight, and Liang Tang is obviously the type who can not write.
To compete with the superstar Tom Hanks, he needs more classic roles.
From a film series standpoint, it’s actually quite enough.
But from the perspective of classic characters, it is obviously not enough.
Nicole Kidman, who was on the side, also said rudely:
“Kevin, I think we need a husband and wife movie, you can’t just leave Tom and leave me alone, that’s not okay.”
There was a hint of resentment in his tone.
When Kevin heard it, he immediately had an idea.
There are actually too many movies that can make money when they lower their salaries.
Especially couples.
This···
A classic action movie that immediately appeared in Kevin’s mind.
Mosuo clicked his chin, and Kevin said lightly:
“It seems that there is really a movie, suitable for your husband and wife to star in, the box office should be OK, and you can make a small profit.”
Nicole Kidman was happier than Tom Cruise.
In the hurricane rescue, she is the second heroine.
That is, in name, it has the same status as Anne Hathaway, but actually has a lot less role.
No way, who let Anne Hathaway get the name of Steve Kevin’s girlfriend.
This made her dissatisfied.
But the unwillingness in my heart is beyond words.
Now that she can get the heroine position of Kevin’s movie, she can finally get her wish, and she is naturally extremely excited.
Seeming to see what Anne Hathaway was thinking, Kevin went on to explain:
“This movie, I will give it to Mitt to shoot, I don’t have time, and I also have other projects to do.”
It is also a commercial film, and Kevin has no interest in the film of the Smiths.
If I have to say it, it is this movie, which is actually a drama of happy friends.
Earn for sure.
Although I don’t remember the specific numbers, but the movies that can stay in Kevin’s memory, no matter how the box office is, will not be so low.
Of course, the cost of this movie is not low, and the popular stars Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie starred.
In addition, they were in a period of love at the time, and the heat was high.
It is estimated that the salary alone will cost more than 30 million.
Of course, this is Kevin’s estimate, and he doesn’t know the exact number.
However, the biggest cost of this movie is the remuneration of the male and female protagonists.
Others will not be too high.
After all, there are no big scenes, big special effects.
And now Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman, the popularity is actually similar to the peak period of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie.
They happen to be husband and wife.
When Cruise asked for the project, and Nicole Kidman asked for a husband and wife team.
In Kevin’s mind, this idea appeared in an instant.
It is worth mentioning that, in fact, Kevin does not remember the specific plot.
But this is not important.
The core of the plot, Kevin knows it.
This is a movie with a pair of top killers, but they don’t know each other’s identity.
This setting is the biggest selling point of the movie.
As for the funny details.
To be honest, with so many good screenwriters, just give a proposition composition and fill in the content, and the script is absolutely not bad.
The focus is actually on the director.
This kind of action movie, Kevin believes that Mitt can easily control.
As soon as these words came out, Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman were obviously not as happy as they had been at first.
Not a Steve Kevin movie, though not bad either.
But there are actually two levels of influence.
From the most realistic point of view, it is the protagonist of the movie who played Kevin, and the subsequent salary increase for the two is much larger than that of Mitt.
But after all, it’s the first one just signed, so don’t worry so much.
Let’s see what kind of results this film can achieve.
“Okay, then we look forward to the launch of the new project.”
After that, after chatting for a while, the two left.
Before leaving, Nicole Kidman even hinted to Kevin that he should meet in a familiar place.
Chapter 358
……….
Kevin comfortably got out of the quilt.
I have to say, Nicole Kidman is really good at it.
Now is the most beautiful period for her, after that, it will not be very good.
Kevin is not a single-minded person, he is a typical scumbag, and he will naturally be separated from her at that time.
Nicole Kidman also got out and lay in Kevin’s arms, then said quietly:
“Kevin, what about the big heroine movie?”
Kevin knew that this was thinking about Black Widow’s personal movie.
Kevin promised she had been for more than two years, probably more than that, and Kevin couldn’t remember when it got mixed up.
It’s been a long time anyway, but Kevin hasn’t given her much praise.
This made her not resentful, especially that Anne Hathaway, who immediately became the heroine as soon as she came up.
This made Nicole Kidman even more jealous.
“Right now, right away.”
“Didn’t you already make a cameo appearance in this role?”
In Iron Man 2, Ghost Rider 2, and Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., Kevin arranged for Black Widow to make an appearance.
However, before the release of the Avengers, these cameos did not make Nicole Kidman’s popularity burst.
If the person who said this was not Steve Kevin, she would feel that she had been deceived.
That is, Steve Kevin’s personal commitment, which has allowed her to stick to it until now.
“Next year, Black Widow can start filming.”
Hearing that Kevin gave the specific time, Nicole Kidman was satisfied.
As for this promise, it is not a lie.
In the original Avengers, the two people, Black Widow and Hawkeye, seemed out of place in the Avengers.
That’s the downside of not having a personal film.
In order to perfect the overall character design of the Avengers, Hawkeye was canceled directly, and characters such as Spider-Man Ghost Rider were added at the same time.
As for Black Widow, who can resist adding a **** beauty to the masculine group of male superheroes.
Adding female characters can greatly make this superhero team more harmonious.
Of course, Black Widow’s personal film, Kevin’s heart is not very optimistic.
Therefore, he will not invest too much.
Forty million dollars in the sky, this is the limit.
With the popularity of the Marvel Universe and an investment of 40 million, Kevin believes that Black Widow can still make a return.
It just so happens that Black Widow is actually a replica of the female US team. She has no superpowers. When making her personal movie, she does not need to engage in superpower villains, and the cost can be greatly reduced.
Coupled with martial arts instructors, it’s enough to make the action scenes look good.
Of course, the key point is to promote the idea of equality between men and women.
If you can attract female audiences to the cinema, you will support Black Widow, and change the concept to support gender equality. If you don’t think so, Black Widow’s box office can also explode slightly.
It depends on how it is advertised.
————————————-
These thoughts ran through their minds, and Kevin and Nicole Kidman started the second half again.
・・・
Suddenly, more than a month passed.
Come April.
The husband-and-wife team of Cruise and Nicole Kidman joined, and it also brought a wave of popularity to the morning movie at the beginning.
In this regard, the Smiths’ movie, even before the script was completed, was widely promoted by the two, and it was regarded as a preliminary publicity work.
In addition, it is produced by the morning movie, which is a bit vaguely popular before it is broadcast.
Cruise and Nicole Kidman, the golden boy and girl in Hollywood, are still very popular among the public.
Of course, for Chenxi Movie, the most important thing this month is the release of Chasing a Girl.
The level of Chasing Girls has been set, R18.
Also known as the Eighteen Movies.
Of course, movies that can only be watched by eighteen and adults are another matter.
But from this level, I know that Wang Jing, this kid, plays a lot of edge ball jokes.
In this regard, Kevin still trusts him.
Of course, on the other hand, it is Wang Jing’s aesthetics.
He has seen the actress in Chasing Girls, and he has to say that although she is not a big star, she is really beautiful.
And it is the kind that is beautiful regardless of whether it is from the eastern aesthetics or the western aesthetics.
Coupled with Wang Jing’s consistent level, of course, it refers to the level of playing edge ball in the movie.
This point, I have to say, European and American directors are really bad.
From the kind of exclusive movies of the P station, we know that the European and American ones have always been the least standard, and there is no plot.
