Hollywood: Great Directors Starting with Saw

This is Zhang Yimou's intention.

Of course, the premise of all this is whether Steve Kevin can be impressed to increase investment.

Otherwise, ten million dollars is unlikely to achieve the effect he has in mind.

Just when Zhang Yimou was waiting for Kevin to respond.

Kevin opened the project plan again and looked at it carefully.

After a moment, Kevin raised his head and said slowly:

"Twenty-five million, this is the highest investment I can give you."

After reading the script written by Zhang Yimou and the movie plan, Kevin decided that this was a mature project plan.

At the same time, Zhang Yimou is a powerful director.

Knowing these elements, Kevin made this decision.

Increased investment to $25 million.

In this way, only 50 million US dollars can be repaid, and other places aside, Kevin is confident that he will achieve this result in both the United States and the mainland.

Even if you lose, you can't lose much.

"Thank you!"

Zhang Yimou thanked Kevin again, and at the same time remembered Kevin as a friend in his heart.

I have to say that Kevin really helped him in all aspects, not at all the kind of capitalist in his concept.

After reaching a mutually satisfactory result, the natural next is a pleasant meal.

Immediately after, it was Zhang Yimou's search for Dawson.

In this regard, Kevin does not intervene.

Kevin's side continues to be busy with his own business.

And so the filming continued.

Fast forward to December 1999, and we are about to enter a special point in human history.

Of course, in fact, it is the arrival of another integer year.

The outside world has held various celebrations for this point in time, but these obviously have nothing to do with Kevin.

At present, there are really no movies to be released this summer.

The Russo brothers are busy living Spider-Man sequels, which are expected to be released next summer.

Mitt is filming Transformers, and the time is also scheduled for the summer release.

Tsui Hark's new film has not yet begun, and when filming will start is unknown for the time being.

Zack Schneider, even more nowhere to be seen, Kevin has asked him to come to the company at Christmas, and he is going to arrange a new job.

Everyone else, including Kevin, was busy, and he couldn't get used to Schneider playing around.

There are also two companies, Xinnen, Wen Ziren and Wang Jing.

After the baptism by Kevin's side, Wang Jing is ready to shoot a movie that she likes as her debut in Hollywood.

Five million dollars invested.

And Wen Ziren, also encouraged by Kevin, accepted an investment of three million from Sunrise Movies and was ready to make a horror film.

This kind of small-cost production, Kevin did not care.

He gave up to these two people, each with the opportunity to make three small-cost films.

If you don't get good results, I'm sorry, Hollywood is very cruel.

They're basically in Hollywood, and they lose the opportunity to make movies.

And in this Christmas file without the morning light movie, the first force is Brook Disney's animated movie, Toy Story 2

The film went straight to the premiere box office of $55 million, earning it the honor of being among the top five grossing openings in North America this year.

This also means that he will soon make a lot of money for Bowis.

And followed by another animated movie, Brother Mouse Fairy.

However, Wizard Mouse only achieved a box office result of 15 million US dollars, which is far inferior to Toy Story 2 in this regard

Of course, it costs less, and it doesn't necessarily make it unprofitable.

These two animated films became the only winners of this Christmas file.

I have to say that the family atmosphere of the Christmas file has made this kind of movie achieve very good results.

···

Inside Sunrise Films.

Kevin is in talks with Chris Columbus about the second Harry Potter film in the series.

The collaboration has actually been reached since Chris Columbus came to Sunrise Films.

Chris Columbus is now listening to some of Steve Kevin's experiences.

As the king of the box office in Hollywood, Chris Columbus certainly wants to hear Kevin's shooting ideas and learn from them.

"Chris, the most taboo thing about commercial films is to play tricks, we want to make the story appear in front of the audience at a glance."

"Taking Pirates of the Caribbean as an example, the audience has long known that the protagonist, Captain Captain Cliff Sparrow, is going to find gold coins, which delays the audience from watching the movie?"

"No, on the contrary, the audience is more looking forward to the follow-up plot, which depends on the foreshadowing..."

This little concept, Kevin still does not hesitate to teach.

Chris Columbus nodded repeatedly.

After the two sides chatted for another hour, Chris Columbus left Sunrise Film Company.

Tomorrow will start Christmas, he is in advance, after Christmas, he will start work directly.

After Chris Columbus left.

Kevin then called Schneider and Dawson separately.

First came Schneider.

"Kevin!"

Pushing open the door, after several months of vacation, Schneider, who was very cheerful and lively, walked in.

Seeing Kevin, say hello.

Kevin's eyelids were lazy to raise, but he just raised his eyebrows and said,

"Enough rest?"

"Enough, enough."

Schneider stretched and lay lazily on the sofa.

Uncomfortable seeing him so comfortable, Kevin immediately began to arrange work.

"Do you have any ideas for the next movie, and if not, I will arrange it?"

"No idea, you arrange."

"Do you want to make a sequel?"

At present, among the company, Pirates of the Caribbean has come out in the second part, and the third part is still in preparation, as for when it will be filmed, it is still uncertain.

The second part of The Matrix also has no shadow, put it on hold for the time being, this kind of movie is quite controversial, it takes time to precipitate to become a masterpiece, and there is no hurry to make a sequel.

Then came the Iron Man and Ghost Rider projects.

The sequels to these films must begin immediately.

At least one for two years can continue to ensure the popularity of the Marvel Universe.

Other things aside, just these, the company's director is already busy.

Kevin has already sent invitations to some directors who have a slight impression of him.

Next year's dawn, in the film market, will pay a huge investment.

Sequel?

After hesitating, Schneider still shook his head, as a director, in fact, he still likes to try something new, and does not like to make sequels.

"Then shoot it."

Since he doesn't want to make a sequel, he will continue his masterpiece, comic book movies, and the special forces he got with Transformers, and he is almost going to make a profit.
