Hollywood: Great Directors Starting with Saw

"I know, a Chinese kung fu master, it seems that there is him in the sky cannon shot last year."

"It is said to have caused a wave of kung fu heat?"

Last year, in the movie Bang Cannon 4, Jet Li had a few minutes of scenes, which caused a sensation among the audience.

In terms of playing beautifully in the movie, in the entire Chinese entertainment industry, there is such a kung fu emperor.

"Yes, that's him, Kevin, are you interested, looking for him to make a movie?"

"We had the idea, but we were a little hesitant..."

Warner's meaning, Kevin understood.

Looking for Jet Li to make a movie, it seems good?

To make an action movie, this is really Kevin's idea.

Jet Li strengthens Sen?

In an instant, countless thoughts arose in Kevin's heart.

"It's possible, but I need to think about it, you can help me contact Jet Li."

"Okay, he's in Los Angeles and he's getting married on September 14, is Director Kevin interested in attending?"

"Yes, President Robinoff will arrange it here."

With a little recollection, Kevin knew that this was a wedding between Jet Li and Li Zhi.

I have to say that behind the identity of the Kung Fu Emperor, Jet Li has a somewhat dishonorable side.

But this kind of personal matter has nothing to do with Kevin, and Jet Li is just a star.

Kevin fancy his abilities.

Kung Fu, in the United States at this time, is a rare element.

There is one point, let Jet Li as the protagonist, will it cause resistance in the United States.

Chinese, the plight of the United States, Kevin is very clear.

Although racial discrimination is not allowed on the surface.

But in fact, in the United States, the first people are always white.

And then there were the blacks.

This is followed by other minorities.

As for the Chinese, the status is the lowest.

To be honest, Kevin has not figured out why the Chinese desperately came to the United States.

If it was because of not having enough to eat before, then after everyone can eat enough, why do people still yearn for the United States so much?

If you have money, let's not talk about it for now.

After all, there is money, and these discrimination is not a problem.

In the United States, the rich are the privileged class.

But if you don't have money, it's hell, these people...

Kevin waved his hand.

These things are not what he should care about.

His current status does not allow him to do something thankless.

To put it bluntly, the moment these people choose to join the United States, they bear the consequences.

"Good!"

Robinoff immediately responded, and began to look forward to Kevin's new project.

····

Hanging up the phone, Kevin also thought about the theme idea of the new movie in his heart.

There are actually quite a lot of action themes in Hollywood, and Kevin just thought about it casually in his mind and a lot of them appeared.

Among them, the first thing he reviewed was naturally some of Jet Li's future movies.

Cosmic Wanted, it seems to be good, full score for creativity, but unfortunately only got 70 million US dollars at the box office, compared to its cost of 50 million US dollars, it is a loss.

The deadly Romeo and the dragon's kiss are okay, but the overall upper limit is more than $100 million.

It's not really high.

If you choose Jet Li's movie, Kevin knows that there is a high probability that he will not be able to support the box office.

This made Kevin dispel the idea of making Jet Li the absolute protagonist.

This is not that Jet Li can't do it, but the general environment of the United States, which discriminates against Chinese.

Just like in the mainland film market, how is it possible for a movie featuring a Japanese star to achieve particularly good results?

Although the metaphor is not very appropriate, it is probably what it means.

The only way is to have two protagonists.

As a director, being able to shoot a movie starring Jet Li can be regarded as fulfilling a little wish in his heart.

To put it bluntly, Kevin has a little idol filter for Jet Li and wants to support it a little.

Of course, it is better to be able to earn a little money while supporting.

Abandoning Jet Li's own films, Kevin set his sights on Hollywood as a whole, and his vision suddenly broadened.

Those tough guy action movies are generally played by muscular tough guys, which is first ruled out.

This kind of movie makes Jet Li come, which is undoubtedly nondescript.

The second is other genre films with fighting scenes.

For example, adventure movies, this point, Jet Li is quite suitable.

The movie he once collaborated with Tsui Hark, The Adventure King, is quite interesting.

However, the box office of that movie, because it was too far away, Kevin was not impressed.

But since it feels good for him, I think it should be okay.

The image of Jet Li is also very suitable for playing an explorer with thick eyebrows.

Adventure movies can be used as an alternative.

With a few options lined up in his mind, Kevin set his sights on other types.

Crime films, secret agent films, rescue series...

Rushing to kill?

These movie genres flashed through Kevin's mind one by one, and finally Kevin set his sights on the rescue series.

The so-called rescue series is actually the name given by Kevin himself, generally speaking, this refers to the movie that carries out the plot to rescue a certain target.

From this point of view, Schindler's list and saving Private Ryan can be counted in this category.

But what Kevin said, of course, is not this, but similar to hurricane rescue, life and death speed, air rescue and other action movies.

In these rescue films, the protagonist group, with clean skills, eradicates criminal gangs, or gangsters, etc., and the goal is to save their loved ones.

Or some unusually important goal.

Like the President of the United States?

This kind of movie, in the previous Hollywood, is actually endless, this is a classic film type.

But still that sentence, Hollywood action movies, too ugly.

Until there are more exciting action scenes, the audience can actually accept it.

But since Kevin raised the entire level of action in Hollywood through Hong Kong's martial arts finger, this type of action movie has hit the street a lot.

The common complaint of the audience is, this is a fight?

It looks like a family.

This has become almost a unified slot.

To put it bluntly, among Hollywood directors, there are too few and too few people who can skillfully use the profession of martial arts.

This also led to the fact that in the past two years or so, not a single decent action movie has been released.

Shooting action movies at this time is just enough to satisfy hungry audiences.

Thinking of this, Kevin's spirits lifted, and it seemed that the idea of opening an action movie was quite good.

Especially this exciting rescue series of movies.

As for the corresponding criticism that will be met when the time comes, Kevin does not care.

As a big capitalist, his primary purpose was to make a profit, not some art.
