Hollywood: Great Directors Starting with Saw

Play art and wait until he is fifty or sixty years old to think about it.

Presumably, at that time, even if he made a bunch of movies that no one could understand, there would be countless film critics rushing to blow it as a masterpiece.

After all, Hollywood is Vanity Fair, and sometimes, it's really not about winning awards based on movie quality.

But according to the status of the person who made the film, the future Black Panther, Green Book, etc., everyone who understands.

Understand this, and then look at the so-called art films, you will find that most art films are garbage.

Of course, it is not without good, but in this era of rampant capital, good artwork does not mean a good box office.

Therefore, until Kevin does not completely climb to the top of Hollywood, these things Kevin will not even think about for a second.

Having chosen the theme, Kevin also began to choose movies in terms of production costs and future box office potential.

With Kevin's memory, it is naturally impossible to remember everything so clearly.

Therefore, in the later time, Kevin asked Dawson to arrange someone to help collect action movies from the past ten years, and compare these materials with his memory to see what other action movies are most suitable for shooting now.

After more than ten days of retrieval.

Kevin finally settled on a suitable movie.

Hurricane rescue.

This rescue film directed by Pierre Morrell achieved a global box office of more than $200 million with a production cost of 50 million US dollars.

Let its producers make a lot of money, although it doesn't sound as good as the box office of other films of Sunrise films.

But if you take into account that this is a French film.

Then this box office is very impressive.

If this movie co-stars the kung fu emperor Jet Li and Johnson, who has both comedy and action from the audience.

Coupled with Steve Kevin's reputation, as well as greater publicity and higher investment.

Simply put, it is the super deluxe version of Hurricane Rescue.

What kind of box office results can it achieve?

Even Kevin is not sure of this, but he dares to say that this is definitely a top commercial blockbuster that makes the audience dizzy.

Just thinking about it, Kevin felt his blood boiling, as if he had regained the enthusiasm he had just made a movie.

In this way, after accompanying Anne Hathaway for half a month, Kevin left her and began to meet with the gold medal screenwriter in the company, making a rhythmic double-lead script for Kevin's idea.

The plot of Hurricane Rescue is simple.

The protagonist is a retired secret agent, and his perennial career as a secret agent has led to the relationship between the protagonist and his wife and daughter becoming more and more estranged, and after retirement, the protagonist is very fond of his daughter in order to make up for it.

However, when her daughter asks her to go to Paris alone, the protagonist refuses her daughter's request because she is worried.

The father and daughter had a big fight, and in the end, the protagonist who felt guilty about his daughter still agreed to his daughter's request.

As a result, her daughter was abducted and trafficked by gangsters in Paris.

In order to save his daughter, the protagonist kills all the way and finally rescues his daughter's story.

Looking at this story alone, it is actually not surprising, not to mention hundreds of copies in Hollywood.

Dozens of similar plots, there are still some.

To put it bluntly, for the movie, the story is of course important, but how the director tells the story through the picture is even more important.

This is one of the reasons why the core of the film is in the director, and the core of the TV series is in the editing.

TV series, with enough space, tell a more complex story.

Therefore, whether it looks good or not, the script plays a crucial role.

And the time of the movie is too short, generally does not tell too complex story, through a simple story, to interpret a wonderful movie.

This highlights the director's skill.

This is one of the big reasons why film directors are higher than TV series directors.

What Kevin has to do is to replace this story that takes place in France with the United States.

Some of the plot details, Kevin actually does not remember.

But the main selling point, Kevin is still very clear.

After telling the three gold-medal screenwriters about their selling points and their requirements, they immediately began internal discussions.

And Kevin also chimed in from time to time to communicate with them.

The main plot, originally the protagonist is alone, has now been changed to a double protagonist.

The character played by Johnson is the brother of the protagonist's wife, that is, the protagonist's brother-in-law.

From the appearance alone, Johnson must be better able to play than Jet Li.

However, in the movie, Jet Li can play ten times more than Johnson.

Just forming a strong contrast, Johnson plays a big man who looks like he can fight, but can't actually fight, and is very funny.

The protagonist is Jet Li, who looks incapable of fighting on the outside, but is invincible.

Such a wonderful pair.

Just thinking about it, Kevin knew that it had a stronger appeal than the original Hurricane Rescue.

Moreover, this is bound to become a classic pair on the big screen.

The trilogy is definitely going to be filmed.

The first step saves the protagonist's daughter, and the second step saves the brother-in-law's girlfriend.

The third step is that the country needs a protagonist.

During the discussion, the script of the trilogy almost took shape.

After the framework of the script came out, Kevin was not involved in the rest of the work.

The lines in the script take time to refine.

In this regard, the screenwriters are much more professional than him.

When watching a movie, some people often say, don't read too much about the movie.

Kevin just wants to say that a bunch of people with very good writing skills, spending a lot of time polishing the lines, why do you think this is an over-interpretation.

Making the lines in the movie have a deeper meaning is originally one of the screenwriters' tasks.

Like one of Kevin's favorite movies, Let the Bullets Fly.

That's really a word.

It was for those meaningful lines that the movie Let the Bullets Fly.

Each line can be interpreted from several angles.

Kevin doesn't need that much of a level of interpretation.

But with two or three angles of interpretation, it is still possible to make the film more charming.

Of course, the most important thing is that this kind of brain-draining thing is done by editors.

Kevin only had to pay for it.

The script and even the attribution rights are Kevin's, and they can only get the highest salary in the industry.

This is also some of the unspoken rules in the industry.

In this way, in the process of carefully polishing the script, the time came September 14.

Kevin and Robinoff rushed to Jet Li and Li Zhi's wedding as promised.

The series of processes in between quickly passed.

Wait until you're done.

Jet Li came to Kevin and Robinoff.

As the two highest-ranking people in this wedding, Jet Li personally came to toast in front of them.
