After buying Marvel, I became the king of Hollywood

Jackie Chan and Tsui Hark on the side didn't interrupt, it was a fight between their acquaintances.

Jackie Chan didn't respond, he was just thinking about the qualifications of the two people in front of him, and whether he could make a good movie.

Tsui Hark, on the other hand, was really envious.

With the cultivation of Steve Kevin, the director's road of these two people is too smooth.

In the industry of directing, generally speaking, the more shots you make, the better your shots will be.

But new directors often don't get the chance to make movies.

In short, it is such an endless loop.

The truly outstanding directors in Hollywood are either talented or have mines at home.

The others have no chance of getting ahead.

Unless it can be appreciated by noble people, and Kevin is undoubtedly such a noble person for Mitt and Zack Schneider.

Several people came directly to Dawson's office.

Dawson was not in the office at this time, but went out to handle errands.

Kevin ordered Dawson's newly recruited male secretary to serve some hot drinks for everyone. The weather in March is still a bit cold, so we can talk about things after warming up with some hot drinks.

As for why he changed to a male secretary, I can only say that if he didn't change, Dawson would have family conflicts.

Kevin didn't bother to take care of this family matter. He just asked Dawson to change to a new male secretary, and the original female secretary arranged another job, which was considered to stabilize the family.

It can only be said that men with money tend to go bad.

The Dawson of today is not the Dawson of before.

Several people sat on the sofa, took a sip of hot drinks, and relieved the cold.

Kevin just started talking:

"Schneider, Mitt, I'm calling you because there is a new movie project."

The two nodded at the same time. They have already tasted the sweetness of being a director. Although directing continuously will be very tiring, they are not willing to miss this opportunity.

This kind of experience can only be obtained by directly directing blockbuster films, and these experiences will be turned into qualifications, giving them a higher reputation in Hollywood.

Their path of directing will also go more smoothly. Even if they are tired, they will not allow themselves to miss this kind of opportunity.

"What type of movie?"

Mitt asked directly.

"I named this genre Kung Fu Comedy, it can be regarded as a type of action movie."

"Let me introduce to you first, this is Jackie Chan, a Kung Fu star in Hong Kong."

"This is Tsui Hark, a great director in Hong Kong."

Kevin introduced it first, so that they all got to know each other a little bit.

This went on to say:

"This time the movie is made with Jackie Chan as the main character."

A trace of hesitation suddenly appeared on Mitt's face and said:

"Yes, he is a Chinese."

"Don't get me wrong, I don't have an opinion on the Chinese, what I mean is that many Americans have a very serious discrimination."

"It is difficult for a movie played by a Chinese to earn much box office."

As an American, Mitt is naturally very clear about the situation in the United States.

The current relationship between the United States and the mainland is very delicate.

In this situation, making such a movie will most likely lose money.

But with Kevin's temper, he is not the kind of person who would make such a loss-making business.

While speaking, Mitt waited for Kevin to give a reason.

Naturally, Kevin couldn't speak directly about his knowledge of the future, so he could only find a reason:

"I have some high-level news. After May, there will be some major policy changes. By then, the situation will be much better."

"Also, although Jack Chen is the absolute core of this movie, I will find another comedy superstar to partner with him."

"For this movie, I am very optimistic."

As soon as Kevin said this, Mitt couldn't say anything against him immediately.

Kevin's vision has not been missed so far. His own movies have become popular one after another. Who dares to question his vision and his ability.

"I'll arrange the script, but you need to be familiar with this style in advance. For this, I brought a few discs of the movies he played in. You can have a look."

After all, Kevin took out a few Jackie Chan discs from his briefcase.

They are all movies with strong Jackie Chan's personal characteristics, such as Project A, Flying Dragon, Dragon's Heart, etc.

"You guys first watch these movies with his personal characteristics, and then discuss specific ideas with Jackie Chan, and I will give you the script in a few days."

"Let's see how to highlight his personal color, but adapt it so that Americans can accept it."

"no problem."

It's hard to think about planning a new movie while busy with the production and editing of special effects shots for Pirates of the Caribbean 2.

But this kind of opportunity is also rare, the two enjoyed the troubles of this happiness, and agreed wholeheartedly.

The three of them got together to watch the disc, and Kevin talked with Tsui Hark again.

"Director Tsui Hark, according to your assumption, how much will the production cost be?"

Tsui Hark pondered for a while, raised his head and said:

"Actually, about $6000 million is enough."

In 1983, Tsui Hark had already filmed The Legend of Shushan. At that time, he also invited the American Star Wars special effects team.

To produce special effects, at that time, the production cost was 2000 million Hong Kong dollars, but it only won 150 million Hong Kong dollars at the box office.

It can be said that the investors have lost everything.

That is, he, Tsui Hark, can bear this kind of blow.

As an ordinary director, there is no room for turning around.

Chapter 166 Vision for Tsui Hark's New Movie

Only he, Tsui Hark, can make a comeback.

But although the box office failed, Tsui Hark never gave up.

He blamed everything on the lack of special effects, so he continued to find ways to raise more funds to re-shoot Shushan.

Now that he has come to Hollywood, Tsui Hark's appetite has gone straight to the sky.

According to the vision in his mind, at least 3000 million US dollars is needed to perfectly realize the fairy world in his mind.

Out of his habit of dealing with investors, Tsui Hark directly doubled his investment, waiting for Kevin's bargaining.

"it is good."

Xu Ke was stunned for a moment.

Hey guys, don't Americans haggle?

Seeing Tsui Hark's expression, Kevin smiled, the reason is actually simple.

He is not personally prepared to invest too much.

With 6000 million US dollars, he invested 2000 million US dollars at the top, and he went to find other investors for the rest.

As for the specific source of funds, Kevin is going to make a plan to absorb external funds.

Speaking of making a bottom line, although he has a certain amount of confidence, his confidence is actually not that great.

It would definitely be the best if funds could be raised within Hollywood.

If it cannot be raised, he will directly absorb funds from the outside world.

Most importantly, of course, the film rights to the film are his.

This is the most important.

As for making money, it is certain that this movie cannot attract as much money as Batman, so Kevin didn't pay too much attention to it.

"Also, for the specific script, I hope you will discuss it with the professional screenwriter I invited."

The script structure of Hollywood is actually very simple, and it never changes.

All of Kevin's movie scripts have not broken through this layer of structure.

However, the Legend of Shushan is obviously not this set of cool scripts, and it needs to be drastically adapted. In short, it is the background of the story of Shushan.

Internally, it is still playing the routine of Hollywood commercial films.

Art is not worth mentioning for this kind of commercial blockbuster.

As for the specific story setting, Kevin already had an idea.

The Kung Fu King of the later generations is actually quite good. Although the filming is terrible, it is somehow interesting.

The background of the story is directly transferred to Chinatown.

Then the protagonist, Tom, is an American adopted by a Chinese grandfather.

For the big villain, use the blood demon.

The main line is that the Gorefiend bewitched the gangsters and helped him out of trouble. Once out of trouble, he would destroy the whole world. In order to save the world, Tom used a prop passed down from his grandfather.

Opened the gate to Shushan.

For specific stories, Kevin is too lazy to make up, professional screenwriters are much better than him.

The story sounds vulgar, but that's what Americans do.

In fact, after staying in the United States for so long, Kevin knew how strong the American anti-intellectual education is.

Happy education almost completely brainwashes ordinary people.

The American elite does not want ordinary people to become smart, and the consequence of this is that the simpler the story of Hollywood movies, the better.

Never complicate things.

Marvel and DC are two stark contrasts.

Countless people complain about Marvel's stories, but they are popular.

As for DC, the content is profound, and the box office is slapping Americans in the face.

"Probably the story, it's American Tom..."

"Is such a story too... vulgar?"

Tsui Hark thought for a long time before he thought of a suitable word to describe the meaning of this word.

In his vision, this will be a soul-stirring fairy tale, with a love that transcends life and death, the joy of traveling thousands of miles in an instant, and the chivalry of sacrificing one's life to slay demons.

But if adapted according to Kevin's meaning, this seems to be an ordinary Hollywood commercial film.

To be honest, from the bottom of his heart, Tsui Hark was against it.

Kevin smiled and explained:

"This is just the first part. My idea is to first let Americans accept the fairy tale scene presented in the story and understand the background of the story."

"For example, you need to let Americans know what a fairy is, what a Shushan sect is, what a swordsman is, and what a chivalry is."

"If you talk about it, just follow the movie you made in 83. With all due respect, the box office will only lose money from the bottom up."

Tsui Hark was speechless at what Kevin said.

In fact, Kevin feels that if the movie can be successful, the biggest factor can only be the scenery presented in it.

Well known.

The United States is a country dominated by plain terrain, and sea views are commonplace.
