Hollywood: Great Directors Starting with Saw

A small table was pulled up, and Tsui Hark, Jackie Chan and Kevin gathered together to eat.

Only after a few bites, looking at Jackie Chan from time to time looking at the monkey anxious appearance at the door of the set, Tsui Hark couldn't help but teased:

"Why, I'm afraid that the box office in the Red Fan District won't work?" You are the king of the box office in Hong Kong, double Monday success, what are you afraid of?

Jackie Chan suddenly couldn't hang on his face.

The head did not look, the eyes turned from time to time, and he was immediately controlled back by himself.

This scene, Kevin and Tsui Hark laughed.

Eating and eating, a man wearing overalls of the morning sun movie ran in.

Tsui Hark raised his eyebrows

, "Look, isn't this coming?"

Jackie Chan stood up instantly, and regardless of Tsui Hark's ridicule, he took the information in the hands of the staff.

The staff glanced at Kevin, saw Kevin waved his hand, and left directly.

...

Jackie Chan looked directly at the information in his hand.

"First-day box office, $6,183,260?"

After chanting, Jackie Chan's face suddenly showed joy.

Although compared to Hollywood blockbusters, it does not seem to be a lot.

But if you consider that this is a small investment for Hollywood, then quite a lot.

You know, the production cost of the Red Fan District is only 7.5 million US dollars.

"More than six million dollars?"

Tsui Ke, who was still laughing at Jackie Chan, suddenly soured.

Converted into Hong Kong dollars, this is almost 50 million Hong Kong dollars at the box office.

This amount, not to mention winning the box office championship in Hong Kong, the second place is also appropriate.

And this is just a day's box office in the Red Fan District.

Looking at the expressions of the two, Kevin splashed cold water.

"Look at the reputation of the movie summarized above, if the reputation is good, it should be able to increase in the follow-up, if the reputation is not good, I am afraid that the premiere is the peak."

As soon as Kevin's words came out, Jackie Chan suddenly became a little nervous.

However, with his level of English, spoken language is definitely fine, but written language is really a bit uncomfortable.

Jackie Chan handed the information to Kevin, and a nervous expression of waiting for the result appeared on his face.

Kevin didn't bother to tease Jackie Chan, glanced at the information, and then read out the opinions of professionals.

"The audience of the movie, mainly men aged 16 to 35, so far, the reputation is good, for the element of kung fu, the audience has given praise."

"Subsequent box office predictions will grow steadily."

"Great!"

Kevin's words came out, and Jackie Chan suddenly jumped up excitedly, and at the same time couldn't wait to say:

"The new movie?"

"Don't worry, in a few days, I will take you to Sunrise Film Company to sign a contract, and the production cost is tentatively set at 40 million to 50 million US dollars."

Kevin had long planned to make some adaptation of the rush hour.

Among them, the black partner, Kevin is ready to replace it directly.

As for the object, of course, it is Jim Carrey.

Among them, I am afraid that Jim Carrey's worth will cost fifteen million US dollars in production costs.

But Kevin thinks it's definitely worth it.

Jim Carrey's appeal is very amazing, and if he joins, the box office will definitely be fine.

It's just that Kevin is worried about one thing, that is, whether Jackie Chan's scene will be snatched up by Jim Carrey.

At this point, it is also necessary to let the two of them try a play in advance.

If it doesn't work, then you can only replace Jim Carrey.

But with their relationship, this kind of thing is easy to say.

It can only be said that the good impression of Jackie Chan makes Kevin take great care of Jackie Chan, if Hong Kong people know, Kevin lets Jim Carrey partner with Jackie Chan and play the double protagonist.

I don't know how many actors in the Hong Kong film industry will be envious of death.

Of course, Kevin has always been a businessman.

Jim Carrey's participation can bring higher box office, which is the biggest reason why he chose Jim Carrey.

Anyway, the selling point of rush hour is comedy kung fu.

Jackie Chan is the core, and as for the original black man, it is a character that can be replaced.

After getting Kevin's promise, Jackie Chan was relieved.

...........

The Matrix shoots as usual.

The movie Red Fan District has set off a small wave of kung fu in Hollywood.

Bruce Lee's kung fu conveyed left a very deep impression on Hollywood in the United States, and also made many Americans like kung fu.

But the biggest problem is that Kung Fu has no successor in Hollywood.

Those Americans who love kung fu can't find any replacement for Bruce Lee in the United States.

They have long been hungry for this kind of film.

Jackie Chan's Red Fan District, if the first day relied on Kevin's two-million-dollar marketing.

Then the next day, it was the fermentation of word of mouth.

The first batch of people who saw the movie thought it was quite good, plus there were no blockbusters released during this schedule.

Many people are attracted to the cinema by word of mouth.

Some cinemas with few queues have even queued.

Taking this opportunity, after messing around in Hollywood for so long, the experienced Dawson immediately spent money on public relations with some media.

With the theme of kung fu fever, this phenomenon was widely reported.

And these reports also fueled the box office in Hongfan District.

As a result, with a box office of six million dollars on the first day and seven million dollars on the next day, on the third day, the box office of the film in the Red Fan District successfully exceeded ten million US dollars.

The first-weekend box office totaled $23.58 million.

However, from the fourth day, the box office of the movie gradually began to shrink.

No way, first, it was affected by Monday.

Normal trough period. The second is that this is originally a movie that is not so popular.

Of course, the biggest influencing factor is that Jackie Chan is an Asian after all.

It's still an old saying, what is missing is mentioned.

It is precisely because the discrimination in the United States is very serious, which is why it pursues racial equality on the surface.

Under such circumstances, the box office gradually began to decline, and the theater side was gradually reducing the number of screenings.

However, Jackie Chan is actually very satisfied with this box office.

This is the only film he has successfully made it to Hollywood so far.

If this box office is taken back, I am afraid that there will only be one left in Hong Kong's double Monday.

Just thinking about it, Jackie Chan is excited.

...........

Sunrise Film Company.

In order to arrange the new movie, plus it has been a long time since he rested, Kevin specially gave everyone in the crew a day off.

Only then did he bring Jackie Chan to Sunrise Film Company.

"Boss, long time no see."

As soon as Kevin entered the morning sun, Zack Schneider quickly greeted him.

Half a year has passed since the filming of Pirates of the Caribbean 2, and the film has been filmed.

The next thing to do is to deal with the special effects.

They were still busy, and before they were finished, they were recalled by Kevin.
