My Name is Kobe Bryant

Chapter 210 Looking for a Bodyguard?

"It's hard work everyone, call it a day." Kobe clapped his hands and completed the entire filming process.

"Hands-off shopkeeper, Director Ke, you are a real dog!" Jack Nelson collapsed to the side. Although Kobe is the director, he has done as much as Kobe as a producer.

Kobe can shoot half and run to play the game! Could he, Nelson, do this?

Who will do the rest of the dirty and tiring work, only the great actor Nelson.

"Jack, why don't you get an assistant director?"

Jack Nelson rolled his eyes. Is my movie star short of this title?

If he knew the final box office of the last movie, he would certainly not ignore Kobe's suggestion.

After the shooting is completed, the next step is editing, producing samples, and arranging for theatrical release.

The editing work Kobe and the editor hired by Nelson finished it all in one night, and there were still a few days before the next game. The young Kobe had great energy to work around the clock.

Immediately after the cut was complete, Bryant and Nelson went to Paramount's headquarters again.

Founded in May 1912, Ramon Films is an American film production and distribution company, known for its symbol of stars surrounding snow-capped mountains. In fact, it is very appropriate to use a mountain as a metaphor for Paramount's position in the film industry. In the first 30 years of its establishment, the company has been sitting on the throne of Hollywood hegemony with many stars, high-quality films and chain theaters all over the United States.

High-quality, critically acclaimed and well-received films such as "The Godfather", "Saturday Night Fever", "Raiders of the Lost Ark", "Forrest Gump" and "Titanic" are all produced by their company.

Paramount's headquarters is located in the Hollywood area of ​​Los Angeles, not too far from Kobe's residence. Kobe and Nelson brought Pelinka and another lawyer, and a group of four drove to Paramount's headquarters early the next morning. meeting room.

"Kobe, nice to meet you." A kind-hearted middle-aged woman in the workplace gave Kobe a hug.

"This is Shirley Lansing, CEO of Paramount Pictures. Last time we went to the Great Western Forum to watch your seventh game of 40+!" Nelson introduced to Kobe.

"Shirley, nice to meet you."

The last game gave Shirley Lansing a great shock. Even though she didn't love basketball, she felt admiration for Kobe in the warm atmosphere of the Great Western Forum. This is why she was willing to try and The reason why Kobe, an 18-year-old director, collaborated.

Tens of thousands of films are produced in the United States every year, some are company-produced and some are independent films. It would be impossible for every movie to be released in the United States. There is no way for movie theaters to arrange this. They often only arrange screenings for movies made by big companies, the most popular, and local people.

This is why Kobe had to find Paramount to cooperate. Even if "Spirituality-Ghost Story" is a good movie, Kobe couldn't let all the theaters arrange for it to be released.

And Paramount can do it!

Paramount in 1997 can be said to have reached its peak again in the hands of the new CEO Shirley Lansing!

Released at the end of this year, "Titanic" will sweep the world! Complete a 1990s miracle in the history of film-a total box office of 2.1 billion US dollars!

With this movie, James Cameron made a god in one fell swoop!

If Kobe finds Paramount to cooperate after "Titanic" is released, he will definitely encounter a cold reception. And now Paramount, because they invested 200 million US dollars to shoot "Titanic", first of all, the cash flow is very insufficient, and because of Nelson's relationship, Shirley Lansing is willing to try Kobe's movie.

The two parties had already negotiated the contract a few days ago, and the signing was completed quickly after confirmation today.

Paramount was responsible for the pre-promotion of the film, layout of theaters, and listing of the film. Kobe had no plans to set up a film studio, so he agreed of course.

The share ratio is 50% for Kobe, 10% for Nelson, and 40% for Paramount.

The film will be released in the first half of this year, and the specific date has yet to be confirmed with the theaters.

"It's a pleasant cooperation. I believe we will have many cooperation opportunities." Kobe showed 8 white teeth.

"Ahhh! It's finally finished. Why do you say that I'm an actor, why do I have to do this kind of work?" Nelson stretched.

"You won't regret it."

"Okay then, brother. I'll take you to a good place to relax!!!" Nelson excitedly pulled Kobe into the car after speaking.

"Where? You don't want to go to that kind of place early in the morning, do you?"

"That's right! I'm going to that place!"

The car stopped in front of a very large signboard - Cabelas.

"It turned out to be shooting, I like it." Kobe touched his chin.

"GOGOGO, RUSH up."

In the United States, you cannot do without guns, and guns are a kind of culture in the United States.

Cabelas, the largest gun store in the United States, has a wide variety of guns here. After entering the store, it is not all guns, but it looks like a forest zoo, with a rockery in the middle, filled with animal specimens, and outdoor products are sold around it.

The outdoors and hunting are also behaviors that the American people love very much.

"Jack!" As soon as he entered the store, the manager of the gun store greeted him immediately.

"Tony, I'm bringing my little brother over to play today! Have fun!"

"The actor has already said so, so we have to make arrangements. Recently, I got a few modified guns, and they are very energetic. Let's try it?"

"Let's go, what are you waiting for?"

A group of people took the elevator and went straight to the second floor. There were a variety of firearms on the shelves on the second floor. There were all kinds of pistols, rifles, and sniper rifles. After all, it was the largest gun store in the United States. They continued to walk in and came to the shooting range.

There are several rows of waiting seats in the open hall, and counters and various shelves are placed in two thirds of the area. In addition to some promotional posters on the walls on both sides, there is also a hook-type locker.

"Play with pistols first!" After the group filled out their personal information, they put on noise-cancelling earplugs and goggles, and began to select guns.

Kobe took a Colt M2000, a new pistol produced in 1991.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

Nelson, who was on the side, was about to read the joke, but his eyes were about to drop after seeing Kobe's skillful movements.

"My dear, have you practiced?"

"No, I'm just born accurate." Kobe smiled. Although he had never shot a gun in this life, he was fascinated by such dangerous things in his last life.

"Impossible! Can shooting a basketball be the same as shooting a gun?" Nelson said, "Don't lie to me."

"It's all the same. (Except for shooting my son is not accurate)"

Next, the group tried all kinds of rifles, submachine guns, and sniper rifles. Listening to the gunshots, everyone was fascinated by the high-speed secretion of adrenaline.

A group of people walked out of the shooting range in the afternoon. Kobe was thinking whether he needed to hire a professional bodyguard?

Even Los Angeles doesn't seem that safe.

If I remember correctly, it seems that a serious terrorist incident will break out in Los Angeles in February.
