After buying Marvel, I became the king of Hollywood

"After the negotiation, they are willing to give an extra [-]% of the profits for the films of Chenxi Film Company."

This percentage is quite a lot.

"Thanks for your hard work."

There was also a smile on Kevin's face.

The expectation in his heart is that it can be half done, which is as good as the sky.

I didn't expect to give [-]% more. This not only shows that Chen Xi's movie is not what it used to be, but also shows that the negotiating team has put in a lot of effort.

Kevin waved his hand and said:

"The negotiation team, this year's bonuses are all doubled."

"Yes!"

Dawson happily agreed.

"Okay, let's add the release time for the next promotion, and, according to the order of release, pay attention to the focus, and don't overwhelm the guest."

The three films are promoted at the same time, and they will crowd out each other's popularity.

In Kevin's memory, the best-selling movies in the past few years are basically concentrated in May of the summer file, which is the beginning of the summer file.

Therefore, Kevin's own blockbuster films are basically not released in May.

This time is no exception.

Six or seven or eight is still the familiar three months.

Just three blockbusters.

As for Chasing Girls with the Head, it was placed in the cold schedule of April.

In this kind of schedule, there are no blockbuster movies, and of course the market cap is also low.

It is suitable for the release of some low-cost movies that do not plan to win awards.

As for the award-winning art films, they will definitely not be released at this time.

The annual Oscars are generally released in February.

Many of the Oscar judges are elderly people.

Chapter 355 The American Version of Liaozhai Story

Memory is not good.

The closer the movie is released to the Oscars, the higher the probability of winning.

After reaching this cognition.

Awards-winning movies are usually scheduled from September to November.

It will not collide with the blockbusters of the summer and Christmas files, and it will be closer to the Oscars.

Therefore, in the spring schedule of April, there are some low-cost movies that are released. They don't compete with blockbusters at the box office, but try to get their own audience to watch movies.

As for May, Kevin chose to avoid the time when it was most likely to break his head.

It's not that you can't fight, but it's not necessary.

There are so many good schedules in the future, why bother to make things happen.

This kind of behavior of killing one thousand and self-defeating eight hundred, Kevin does not take it.

After arranging these things, Dawson turned and left, busy working.

Looking at his back, Kevin called Tsui Hark again.

After last year's summer vacation, I returned to Hong Kong, and then ran promotions in Japan, South Korea, and the mainland. Once I got through, I spent another year in Hong Kong.

It was not until more than a month ago that Tsui Hark came to the United States with his wife and children.

It can be said to be a good rest.

Calculating the time, it was almost enough to rest, and Kevin was about to arrange a new job for him.

After making the phone call, Tsui Hark, who lives near the company, immediately went out and rushed over.

As a contracted director of the company, there is no fixed place to work.

I can work wherever I want. It is no exaggeration to say that I usually work at home.

····

"Kevin."

As soon as he entered, Tsui Hark greeted him.

"Did you have fun back in Hong Kong?"

Kevin teased.

Needless to say, this feeling of returning home.

It really allowed Tsui Hark to experience the feeling of a great director in Hong Kong. I don’t know how many actors flattered him, hoping to participate in the movies he shot in the United States, so as to gild themselves.

But Tsui Hark didn't agree to anyone.

At present, he feels that he has not yet established a solid foundation in Hollywood, so he dare not rashly do some outrageous things.

As a Chinese director, he still feels some difficulties in the United States.

This is still the profession of a director. If you are an actor, I am afraid it will only be more serious.

When he has half the status of Steve Kevin, he probably has the capital to be willful. He thinks clearly about this.

"not bad."

After coughing, Tsui Hark said in a tone that actually had a lot of fun.

"Then, it's time to work."

Kevin changed the subject and said directly to Tsui Hark.

"Yes, it is."

Tsui Hark also agreed.

After resting for so long, it's almost time to start working.

But what to shoot, he has no idea yet.

Of course, on the whole, there must be nothing wrong with continuing the style of Shushan.

This is his unique style in Hollywood.

It is an advantage that other directors cannot imitate. With this advantage, it would be a waste not to shoot this kind of film.

Seeing that Tsui Hark agreed, Kevin listed the subjects that he had thought of for him to shoot.

"Tsui Hark, I have carefully thought about several themes, you can choose one."

"Painted Skin, Lu Pan Qi Tan, and Fox Fairy, these three stories come from Liaozhai, adapt their cores into stories that Americans can understand, and find one to shoot?"

Although it is a question, it is actually a multiple-choice question.

These are a few amazing stories that Kevin chose after careful selection.

Painted skin, exciting enough, a monster in human skin, talking about sadomasochism.

Of course, it can also be adapted into a horror film, depending on the director.

But with Tsui Hark's style, this will definitely be a sadomasochism, after all, he is the director of A Chinese Ghost Story.

And Lu Pan's strange talk is even more interesting. This is a story about changing hearts and heads in Liaozhai.

Adapted into a US version, not bad.

But this is a pure horror movie, and the investment should not be too high, otherwise it will not be so easy to recover the cost.

Finally, there is Fox Fairy, which is a typical kind of sweet romance movie.

There are several good vixens in Liaozhai, it depends on which one Tsui Hark is going to choose.

Facing the theme proposed by Kevin, Tsui Hark is not surprised.

Ever since he chatted with Kevin in Chinese, he knew that Kevin was definitely a Chinese proficiency.

Knowing about Liaozhai is no surprise.

To be honest, he has read the strange novel of Liao Zhai many times, and he likes many stories in it very much.

The movie A Chinese Ghost Story he made was adapted from a story in Liaozhai.

After Kevin said this, he began to think about the three themes Kevin mentioned.

No matter how you look at it, Lu Pan's story of changing heads and hearts is not popular with the public. If the investment is large, it is likely to lose money. This kind of subject matter was directly abandoned by him.

It is not impossible to change, but it is very difficult.

But Painted Skin and Fox Immortal are both very suitable stories for adaptation.

but····

As soon as he thought of A Chinese Ghost Story, he made up his mind to make another American version of Huapi.

The concept of ghosts also exists in the United States, and they are usually called evil spirits.

In fact, the concept is the same.

Therefore, the cultural differences in this kind of film are relatively small.

Taking a picture of the skin has a much higher success rate.

As for how to adapt the painted skin, it is actually not difficult. Tsui Hark thought about it briefly and came up with some ideas.

Of course, the specifics need to be communicated with the screenwriter, step by step.

But choosing a painted skin is a sure thing.

"Then paint the skin."

After thinking about it for about a minute in front of Kevin, Tsui Hark made a decision.

"Okay, as for the screenwriter, you can go find it yourself and see which screenwriter best suits your style."

"As for the goal, next year's summer vacation is OK?"

"no problem!"

Tsui Hark readily agreed.

A whole year, judging from the speed of film production in Hong Kong, is actually quite sufficient, and more time is estimated to be spent on special effects and makeup.

And, of course, one of the necessary elements for this type of film to succeed.

Handsome and beautiful.

A Chinese Ghost Story can be successful, in fact, brother Leslie Cheung and Wang Zuxian have contributed a lot.

Once the character stands still, the story unfolds naturally.

Could it be a handsome guy who can make a female ghost fall in love at first sight?

But if you can make a handsome guy fall in love with a female ghost, how can this female ghost not be beautiful.

The logic is clear and reasonable.

These things are clearly in my mind.

After chatting with Kevin for a few more words, Tsui Hark left Chenxi and went to the Screenwriters Union to find a suitable screenwriter.

Watching Tsui Hark leave, Kevin smiled.

Tsui Hark's choice did not surprise him.

Among the three, the painted skin is the easiest to shine, and the love between humans and ghosts is itself a gimmick.

There are many similar stories in the United States.

The more famous ones are Unresolved Ghosts, Like Heaven, etc.
