Hollywood: Great Directors Starting with Saw

Kevin had just been busy for a few days, when Jackie Chan and Tsui Hark came to the United States.

After the Spring Festival, while arranging the work at hand, hearing the invitation of Kevin, the big director, Tsui Hark was more anxious to come to the United States than Jackie Chan.

As a Hong Kong director, there is no one who does not want to enter Hollywood.

Other things aside, in terms of investment amount alone, in Hong Kong, generally investing millions of Hong Kong dollars or even tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars is considered a medium-to-high big production.

But converted into dollars, in the United States, it is just an investment of one or two hundred dollars in micro-production.

Hong Kong's biggest investment, in the United States, is not even a medium-sized production.

Being able to direct a true Hollywood blockbuster is the dream of countless Hong Kong directors.

Therefore, hearing that Steve Kevin seemed to have the intention of looking for him to make a movie, Tsui Hark immediately resigned all film contracts and went directly to Hollywood with Jackie Chan.

But as long as he can get a film contract, the amount of investment is much more than that of Hong Kong films, which is a rare opportunity, even if he is not worried about filming, he can't withstand this temptation.

...

"Is this the set of Hollywood studios?"

The first time he came to the set in Hollywood, Tsui Hark was shocked.

Compared with Hong Kong studios, both the venue area and the equipment are much more, shooting a film on such a set, just thinking about it makes Tsui Hark worry about Hong Kong's film industry.

From a single set, Tsui Hark knows how big the gap between Hong Kong's film industry and Hollywood's film industry is.

It simply makes him, a Hong Kong filmmaker, desperate.

Kevin's assistant Elle took the two directly into the set, and seeing Tsui Hark's shocked expression, Elle did not have the slightest idea of underestimating.

She knew that Kevin attached great importance to the two, otherwise she would not have been allowed to receive them.

Elle began to explain to Tsui Hark:

"This is one of the largest studios in Hollywood, the set of Twentieth Century Fox, and there are no more than ten studios of this size in Hollywood."

"They're basically studios that have been around since Hollywood."

"There are not many studios of this size, even in Hollywood."

Tsui Hark nodded.

Hollywood has been established for more than 70 years now, if you calculate it this way, the Hong Kong film industry is just an infant compared with the Hollywood film industry, and it is normal not to compare.

After explaining, Elle continued to lead the two towards the set.

After a while, he came to the filming site of The Matrix.

Yuan Heping is directing the prop artists to arrange Weiya, and what is about to start filming is an action scene, because to reflect the characteristics of the virtual world, at Kevin's request, it must have a surreal sense of blow.

To this end, they have been working on new action scenes long ago.

Now, it's time to start shooting.

"Boss, I brought the two of them."

Elle brought Tsui Hark and Jackie Chan to Kevin's side before turning away, she still had a lot of things to do.

The first time I saw Steve Kevin, Tsui Hark was significantly more restrained than Jackie Chan.

Kevin smiled and said:

"Don't be nervous, director Tsui Hark, just right, you come to see what is the difference between the shooting of Hollywood movies and Hong Kong."

"After I understand, I can ask you to make a movie."

Tsui Hark's eyes suddenly lit up, and Kevin's words confirmed the news that he was going to ask him to make a movie.

Suddenly came to the spirit, and quickly walked over.

"Well, I also want to see how big the gap between Hollywood film shooting and Hong Kong is."

Seeing that the two people were chatting, Jackie Chan on the side couldn't stand and hurriedly came over.

"Director Kevin, how is my Red Fan District arranged?"

"It has been arranged, it will be released in about a week, and the number of paintings will be 300!"

Jackie Chan suddenly showed a smile.

Hong Kong films, produced in the United States, are generally bought out.

Many movies don't even have the opportunity to go to theaters, and when they are bought, they are sold directly as DVDs.

Of course, Jackie Chan's movies are not like this, but they often have only a small number of theaters released.

The number of 300 paintings is definitely quite a lot.

For Jackie Chan, this is a big opportunity for him to break into the American film market.

If the Red Fan District fails again, then he will never think about Hollywood again.

In order to get the American market, he has already set the story in New York, and if it can't be recognized by the American audience, then he can't help.

Looking at Jackie Chan's face, Kevin continued:

"After the box office of the Red Fan District comes out, as long as it is not less than ten million US dollars, I will invest and make a movie for you."

That's right, what Kevin is talking about is the future, Jackie Chan's pinnacle in Hollywood.

Rush hour.

With a production cost of $33 million, it has a total box office result of $240 million at the global box office, which is undoubtedly a masterpiece.

From the perspective of a film company owner, although Kevin does not shoot himself, there is no reason to miss it.

Not only can he help Jackie Chan enter Hollywood, but most importantly, he can also make money himself.

"I promise, it's a medium-sized production even in Hollywood."

Jackie Chan's smile couldn't stop.

Since the 1982 failure of Cannonball Speed, which he starred in, in the Hollywood film market, no Hollywood studio has been willing to invite him to film.

Hongfan District was the last time Jiahe helped him.

Now, Hollywood director... No, Steve Kevin, the best director of the Oscar, promised him to star in a movie as long as the North American box office exceeded ten million dollars.

This is definitely a good thing.

As for not even ten million dollars, Jackie Chan did not think about this kind of thing at all.

If three hundred movie theaters open and can't get ten million dollars at the box office, then he doesn't have to think about the American film market.

Go back to Hong Kong early to claim hegemony.

Seeing that the two of them were very happy, Kevin said:

"After filming this scene, I will arrange it in the evening, do you go out and walk around or take a look on the set?"

"Take a look."

The two said in unison.

Jackie Chan still knows something about Hollywood shooting, after all, Cannonball Speeder is a complete Hollywood movie, but it failed miserably at the box office.

But he still wants to see how Steve Kevin, the best director of the Oscar, makes a movie.

Tsui Hark needless to say.

Both chose to see how Kevin made the film.

Kevin nodded, ignored the two of them, and directly began shooting.

At this time, it is the most creative scenes in the Matrix.

Bullet time and Kung Fu Neo show off his might.

From a shooting point of view, the scene of bullet time is undoubtedly very funny.
