After buying Marvel, I became the king of Hollywood

Being able to be a director in Hollywood, Tsui Hark has no intention of returning to Hong Kong at all.

Speaking of here.

Tsui Hark returned to Hong Kong some time ago, and it can be said that the scenery is infinite.

With the name of a great Hollywood director, countless people are flattering him.

It was like holding him up to the sky.

Former partners and directors like Mai Jia and Huang Baiming are even more envious of him.

It is a great fortune to be valued by Steve Kevin.

I don't know how many directors want to get online from him, and also want to go to the United States to make movies.

But after so long communicating with Kevin.

He knew that as a director in Hong Kong, Kevin only valued two people.

One is him, and the other is John Woo.

But Wu Yusen is now in Hollywood, and he can't wait for Kevin to sign a contract, otherwise Tsui Hark really wants to be a colleague with Lao Wu.

And this year's Wu Yusen is equally glorious.

As a director, he directed a movie with an investment of up to [-] million US dollars, Changing Face.

Among them, the protagonist who changed his face is also Kevin's friend.

Nicholas Cage.

In order not to conflict with Kevin's Spiderman.

Paramount released it early, and before Spider-Man was released, the release period had already passed, and it did not encounter the dimensionality reduction blow of Kevin's movie.

It achieved good box office results.

Of course, Kevin already knew this.

Cage also talked to him.

As Cage's classic movie, Kevin definitely let Cage take over this movie.

Anyway, there is a one-year gap between Ghost Rider and The Matrix, and there will always be one or two movies.

In a noisy movie theater.

Kevin brought sisters Helen and Emma, ​​and Tsui Hark brought his wife into a movie theater together.

This is also impossible.

It’s fine to watch a romance movie alone.

It's hard not to be misunderstood when two big men come to see.

As Kevin, once the paparazzi exposed him, it would be big news immediately.

Chapter 253 Surprising first-day box office

American political correctness has not yet reached its peak.

Homosexuals are still discriminated against.

Several people are seated.

A central, forward position was chosen.

Tickets for this position are relatively easy to buy.

Comparing love movies, watching and watching, it is easy for male and female couples to misfire.

Do something inappropriate.

Especially young men and women, who already have evil plans in their hearts, naturally choose the back row to facilitate things.

Look at the occupancy rate as high as 70%.

Tsui Hark couldn't help but said to Kevin who was sitting on the side:

"Director Kevin, with so many viewers coming in, is it because of the good publicity, or because of the charisma of the actors?"

"Propaganda is the main thing!"

Kevin said directly.

No one knows the importance of advocacy better than he.

Although Xiao Lizi is very popular, in fact, his appeal in the film industry is really not very strong.

He really took off and became a superstar.

It's because of the Titanic.

Before this movie was released, he was nominated for the Best Supporting Actor Award for "A Different Sky in 95", and won the Best Actor in the Berlin Film Industry for Romeo and Juliet in [-].

But in fact, in the circle, it is probably between the second line and the first line.

Compared with first-line movie stars, he is much different.

But it is much better than second-tier movie stars.

Probably such an awkward situation.

As for James Cameron, to be honest, judging from Cameron's output, even if he had his fans, they would have run away long ago. No fan can wait for a movie for several years.

In other words, the director's fans are generally just fans of passers-by.

Tsui Hark nodded half-understood.

In Hong Kong, the attendance rate of a movie depends entirely on the star effect, and the actor is the biggest factor.

People will enter the movie theater for stars such as Stephen Chow, Chow Yun-fat, and Jackie Chan.

Looking at Tsui Hark's expression, Kevin hinted:

"Look carefully at this movie, Director Tsui Hark."

"It's going to be a miracle in box office history."

"If you can combine the essence of this movie with your own movie, I believe you can definitely achieve a very beautiful result."

Although Tsui Hark didn't understand why Kevin said that.

However, Kevin's words have always made sense, and upon seeing this, he began to watch the movie seriously.

Kevin started flirting with sister Helen Emma.

Strictly speaking, Kevin doesn't actually chase girls.

In his previous life, relying on his status as a director, he posted a lot of so-called beauty school flowers.

This life is similar, except that she has been upgraded from a low-end beauty to a Hollywood star.

On the big screen, Titanic is playing.

Kevin also stopped chatting and watched seriously.

The familiar plot made Kevin reminisce about the classics.

If such a modern romantic love scene with a very American view of love is placed in an ordinary movie, it is not surprising at all.

But when this kind of love is placed in a huge cruise ship that is about to sink into the sea, it will undoubtedly sublimate this kind of love a lot.

There was no wave in Kevin's heart, and he was not moved at all.

Sometimes, he felt that his calmness was a little scary.

However, in the scene, many girls began to communicate with the boys around them.

The content is all about substituting herself into the heroine in the movie, asking her boyfriend, if he were Jack, would he do the same thing as Jack in the movie, and give himself the chance of survival.

This kind of proposition, people who can have a girlfriend will naturally pass the test easily.

Then there is the show of affection.

What followed was some word-of-mouth discussions.

Tsui Hark silently listened to the audience's comments, and was shocked to find that there was not a single negative comment.

Since coming to the United States, the most he does every month is to go to the cinema to watch various movies.

For others it is enjoyment.

But for him, it's learning, and learning is often painful.

Bearing this pain, Tsui Hark crazily learned all kinds of classic Hollywood techniques, and then communicated with Kevin and Mitt.

Up to now, Tsui Hark said without exaggeration that he is already a complete Hollywood director.

A few people walked out of the movie theater, and the men and women who watched the movie along the way were all discussing the plot of the movie enthusiastically.

When they were about to part, Kevin looked at Tsui Hark and said:

"Director Tsui Hark, you must watch Titanic more than five times, thoroughly understand its essence, and then write a script in your imagination to see how to integrate Shushan culture with standard Hollywood movies."

"Shooting a Titanic that incorporates oriental culture."

Having said that, Kevin took Sister Helen and left.

In the past few days, he should spend some time with the two sisters.

As for Tsui Hark's script, Kevin is not in a hurry.

He plans to put Tsui Hark's new movie in next year's Christmas file, a year is more than enough.

I just don't know if Tsui Hark can understand what he meant.

To put it nicely, it is to shoot an Oriental Titanic.

To put it bluntly, it's just hype.

That's right, Kevin is planning to use the Titanic of the East to promote Tsui Hark's new movie when the time comes.

It can be said that Kevin was the first to know that the Titanic would explode.

Others follow suit, maybe there are some faster than him, but there should be no one who can be faster and maintain the quality.

Based on this enthusiasm, Kevin also believes that the box office of Tsui Hark's new movie will not be too bad.

Of course, Kevin's supervision is essential.

In order for these directors not to go astray, he took great pains to supervise them to make movies.

In Kevin's opinion, none of these directors can completely reassure him.

Tsui Hark, a typical movie geek, has outstanding talent.

The movies made by this kind of people are generally very distinctive.

But being unique doesn't mean having box office.

Kevin must be the producer and let him follow his own custom route.

That is to say, the story of the movie has a clear main line and is not ostentatious.

Mainstream commercial films have never been popular with mystification.

The pace must be fast, and the content of the story must conform to the public's perception.

····

The next day.

Fox and Paramount received all the data of the Titanic, and the two companies couldn't believe their eyes.

The box office on the first day made them unable to believe their eyes.

Not too high.

It's too low.

Just $470 million at the box office.

The investment plus publicity, costing more than 470 million U.S. dollars, Titanic only earned a first-day box office of [-] million U.S. dollars.

According to the normal rules of commercial films, the North American box office of this film is estimated to not even reach 5000 million US dollars.
