After buying Marvel, I became the king of Hollywood

After all, Hongfan District, in its original history, did not have the treatment of [-] theaters opening productions.

Under such circumstances, they all achieved a North American box office of more than 3000 million US dollars.

But now, with Kevin spending 200 million US dollars on publicity, plus the amount of drawings that will come from using favors, it makes no sense to be worse than the original version.

A few more shots were taken, and the time soon came to noon.

The logistics team brought sumptuous lunch boxes and distributed them one by one.

In terms of logistics, Kevin still can't save such a small amount of money. After all, in his crew, the work pressure is still quite high.

If you skip even eating and drinking, I'm afraid others will really run away.

Chapter 164 Surprised Jackie Chan

A small table was pulled, Tsui Hark, Jackie Chan and Kevin gathered for dinner.

After eating a few mouthfuls, Tsui Hark couldn't help but make fun of Jackie Chan looking anxiously at the entrance of the studio from time to time:

"Why, are you afraid that the box office in the Hongfan District will not be good? You are the box office king in Hong Kong, and you get [-]% on Mondays. What are you afraid of?"

Jackie Chan suddenly couldn't hold back his face.

He stopped looking at his head, turned his eyes away from time to time, and was immediately controlled by himself.

Watching this scene, Kevin and Tsui Hark couldn't stop laughing.

While eating, a man in the overalls of Chenxi Movie ran in.

Xu Hark raised his eyebrows and said:

"Look, isn't it here?"

Jackie Chan stood up in an instant, regardless of Tsui Hark's teasing, and took the information from the staff.

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

...

Jackie Chan looked directly at the information in his hand.

"First day box office, $610?"

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

Although compared to Hollywood blockbusters, it doesn't seem like a lot.

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

You know, the production cost of Hongfan District is only 750 million US dollars.

"Over $600 million?"

Tsui Hark, who was still teasing Jackie Chan, suddenly became sour.

Converted into Hong Kong dollars, this is almost 5000 million Hong Kong dollars at the box office.

This amount, not to mention winning the box office champion in Hong Kong, No.2 is also appropriate.

And this is just a day's box office in Hongfan District.

Looking at the expressions of the two, Kevin poured cold water on them.

"Look at the word-of-mouth of the movie summarized above. If the word-of-mouth is good, the follow-up should be able to increase. If the word-of-mouth is not good, I am afraid that the premiere will be the pinnacle."

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

However, with his English level, the spoken English is definitely no problem, but the written language is really a bit uncomfortable.

Jackie Chan handed the information to Kevin, with a nervous expression waiting for the result.

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

"The audience of the film is mainly males aged 16 to 35. So far, the word of mouth is good. For the element of kung fu, the audience has given favorable comments."

"The follow-up box office is predicted to grow steadily."

"Great!"

It wasn't until Kevin's words came out that Jackie Chan 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 Chenxi Film Company to sign the contract. The production cost is tentatively estimated at 4000 million to 5000 million US dollars."

Kevin has long planned to adapt Rush Hour to a certain extent.

Among them, the black partner, Kevin is going 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 500 million US dollars in production costs.

But Kevin thinks it's definitely worth it.

Jim Carrey's appeal is amazing. If he joins, the box office will definitely increase.

However, Kevin is worried about whether Jackie Chan's role will be snatched by Jim Carrey.

For this, it is necessary to let the two of them try a scene in advance.

If it really doesn't work, then Jim Carrey can only be replaced.

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

It can only be said that Kevin has taken good care of Jackie Chan because of his good impression of Jackie Chan. If Hong Kong people know, Kevin will let Jim Carrey and Jackie Chan partner to play the double protagonists.

I don't know how many actors in the Hong Kong film circle will die with envy.

Of course, Kevin was always a businessman.

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

Anyway, the selling point of Rush Hour is comedy.

Jackie Chan is the core, as for the original black, it is a replaceable role.

With Kevin's promise, Jackie Chan was relieved.

...........

The Matrix filmed as usual.

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

The kung fu conveyed by Bruce Lee has left a very deep impression in Hollywood, and has also made many Americans fall in love with 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 substitute for Bruce Lee in America.

They have long been hungry for this kind of movie.

Jackie Chan's Red Fan District relied on Kevin's $200 million in marketing on the first day.

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

The first batch of people who watched the movie thought it was quite good, and there were no blockbuster movies released during this schedule.

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

Some movie theaters with few queues even have queues.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Dawson, who has been in Hollywood for so long and experienced, immediately spent money on public relations with some media.

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

And these reports also contributed to the box office of the Red Fan District.

Ever since, with the box office of 600 million US dollars on the first day and 700 million US dollars on the second day, the box office of the movie in Hongfan District successfully exceeded 1000 million US dollars on the third day.

The box office in the first weekend totaled 350 million US dollars.

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

No way, first, it was affected by Monday.

Normal lows.The second is that this is a movie that is not so popular.

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

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

It is precisely because of the serious discrimination in the United States that it pursues racial equality so much on the surface.

Under such circumstances, the box office has gradually begun to decline, and theaters are gradually reducing the number of screenings.

But Jackie Chan is already very satisfied with the box office.

This is so far his only successful Hollywood film.

If the box office is taken back, Hong Kong’s double Mondays will only be [-]%.

Just thinking about it makes Jackie Chan so excited.

...........

Dawn Films.

In order to arrange the new movie, and he hadn't rested for a long time, Kevin gave everyone in the crew a day off.

Only then did Jackie Chan come to Chenxi Film Company.

"Boss, long time no see."

As soon as Kevin entered the morning light, Zack Schneider hurriedly greeted him.

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

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

They were still busy, and they were called back to the company by Kevin before they finished their work.

Chapter 165 Two Movies Approved Simultaneously

Kevin smiled and said:

"You and Mitt come together, there is a new movie for you."

Kevin is determined to train two directors of his own. There is no way, there are too many classic movies in his head.

He can't take pictures of himself alone.

He is amazing, he only shoots two movies a year, he is already a well-known fast shooter in Hollywood.

Even before he was reborn, it would be amazing to make fifty movies.

Of course, these movies make him a top director.

But wanting to become a well-deserved Hollywood giant is almost meaningless.

He has to develop directors who can break away from him and still make good movies.

And Mitt and Zack Schneider are the first wave.

In the future, Kevin will continue to train more directors.

Mitt showed a helpless expression. He was planning to take a vacation after finishing Pirates of the Caribbean 2.

"Kevin, you are really a Grandet."

Kevin said proudly:

"You just say whether you want to shoot or not."

Mitte gritted his teeth and said:

"Take it, definitely take it, how can you not take it."

Although he complained verbally, Mitt knew how many directors would take the initiative to apply for this kind of opportunity.

Kevin is definitely training the two of them.

Zach Schneider on the side couldn't straighten up laughing, which provoked a violent beating from Mitt.
