MTL - After Buying Marvel, I Became the King of Hollywood-Chapter 141

However, out of trust in Steve Kevin, these audiences put aside their doubts for the time being, and began to immerse themselves in the movie along the story in the movie.

The opening story of the film, Ambassador Han used to be a police officer before he became an ambassador and was stationed in the United States, and presided over the smuggling activities of a criminal group, so he was hated by the criminal group.

When they learned that Ambassador Han had been sent to the United States to escape the protection of the country, the criminal group immediately understood that this was the best time for them to retaliate.

Therefore, he instructed his subordinates to kidnap Ambassador Han's daughter and demanded a ransom of 50 million dollars from him.

After learning of the incident, the FBI launched a full-scale investigation.

However, Ambassador Han knew that the efficiency of the American police was mediocre. Worrying about his daughter's safety, he insisted on dispatching his old Hong Kong partner, Inspector Li, to assist the FBI in solving the case.

For the sake of its own face, the FBI decided to prevent Inspector Li from cracking the case first, so it sent NYPD Detective Carter, who was in constant condition, to drag Officer Li back.

Through editing and lens language, just a small plot at the beginning brings the audience into the world constructed by the film.

At the same time, the audience's anticipation was lifted.

The audience stared at the big screen, waiting for the follow-up, how the two policemen from China and the United States solved the case and saved the daughter of Ambassador Han.

The story rhythm of commercial films is often like this. In fact, the rush hour can only be said to be quite satisfactory.

Whether it can impress the audience and gain the audience's reputation depends on whether the various arrangements behind it are reasonable.

Soon, the plot entered the official stage.

Officer Li and Carter, two happy friends, couldn't see each other from the beginning, and Carter was even more frantic and mocking.

At the back, Officer Li used his kung fu to rescue Carter from the pursuit of the criminal group, so that the relationship between the two became harmonious.

Then the two worked together to rescue Ambassador Han's daughter.

The context of the story is very clear, it is the story of two policemen solving a case.

However, this ordinary story, in Jackie Chan's actions and Jim Carrey's funny ability, turned corrupt into magic.

It became very interesting.

This is the work of the director and the actors.

This is how a good movie is born. As for the script, for this kind of commercial blockbuster, it is not so important.

What's important is Jackie Chan's kung fu, Jim Carrey's hilarious skills, and the ability of directors Mitt and Zack Snyder to blend their roles together harmoniously.

For more than an hour, there was no pee spot throughout.

Let the audience experience a visual feast from start to finish.

When the movie ended, Jackie Chan immediately looked nervously at the audience behind him.

If the film fails, he can go back to Hong Kong obediently.

I have tried to enter the Hollywood market several times, and one of them has succeeded in the red zone, if the peak hour can continue to be successful.

It means that Americans also like his kung fu comedy, so he can continue to make his way in Hollywood.

Otherwise, he would have to obediently return to that small place in Hong Kong to be king and hegemon.

･･･

The audience was silent for a few seconds, until the audience stood up and applauded, and then the applause sounded like a lit gun battle, crackling throughout the audience.

"Congratulations, Jack Chen, it seems that your movie has conquered the audience."

"And you, of course, Jim Carrey."

Kevin congratulated Jackie Chan and Jim Carrey.

This kind of applause, only the audience likes the movie, it will do so.

Through this part of the applause, Kevin knew that Rush Hour was a box office success.

Americans will not easily applaud the Chinese. This movie with Chinese as the protagonist, even if it is only half of it, can get the applause of these Americans.

It shows that Jackie Chan successfully conquered this part of the audience.

Jackie Chan also had a smile on his face.

"Thank you, Kevin!"

Although he is the protagonist, and is such a distinctive protagonist, he has a great influence on the film.

But Kevin as an investor, as well as a producer, and a screenwriter.

The influence of this movie is also very huge. It can be said that Kevin takes 70% of the credit.

The rest of him and Jim Carrey, and two directors equally.

"Okay, thank the audience now, and then everyone go home and rest. The box office will come out in two days. If there are surprises, I will give everyone a red envelope."

Afterwards, the main creative team thanked the audience present and distributed some gifts, and the premiere officially ended.

The rush hour rankings also began to be launched one after another.

Some audience members walked into the cinema one after another and felt the excitement of the action blockbuster.

Under the guidance of Kevin, the film's action scenes, compared with the original, have added some first sights, allowing the audience to truly appreciate the thrill of these climbs.

Make this action scene even better than the original.

Many viewers, in order to experience this feeling, started a second brush.

However, as a purely commercial blockbuster, it mainly relies on new audiences.

....

Inside Warner Bros.

Robinoff, watching the staff, brings word-of-mouth surveys of recently released films.

He couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

"Steve Kevin, still the same Steve Kevin, still has a unique vision."

"Whether it is an investment, or as a director, it is so successful."

"Gerry, in the future, any of our films must avoid Steve Kevin's investment and the schedule of the filming."

Among the executives, Gerry, who was in charge of communicating with the theater, nodded and agreed with the president's opinion.

Steve Kevin, through his own success after success, has successfully dispelled the idea of ​​various studios that he has the best slot.

No way, my own movie can't beat it.

Fighting hard is equivalent to losing money, and no one can stand it.

Not only Warner Bros., but other film companies are also talking about this kind of problem.

In silence, everyone reached a tacit understanding, let go of Steve Kevin's movies for the time being, and not be his enemy.

The current Steve Kevin is obviously at a creative peak, which other directors have also had.

In these times, how to do, how to succeed.

But no director will be successful all the time.

Everyone quietly waits for Kevin's most powerful period to pass.

Chapter 210 First Day Box Office Released

Time comes a day later.

Jackie Chan, Mitt, and Zack Snyder are all at Dawn, waiting for the first-day box office release.

Kevin came to the company leisurely at noon time.

He saw these three people piled up in his office, each with their legs crossed, bragging about each other.

Seeing Kevin coming, Mitt leaned over and said:

"Is it true that they say that there are many delicacies in the mainland, you have been to the mainland, tell me."

Kevin fell on his own sofa and said:

"Didn't I give you and Zack Snyder a long vacation? Why don't you guys go and play by yourself?"

Mitt was instantly refreshed.

"Okay, bring my wife, and Zach's wife."

Kevin patted his head.

"By the way, when are you going to get married?"

"Come on, in a year or two, I'm going to hold a wedding with Zach."

Mitt laughed.

Although not as good as Kevin, they are all successful people.

At this age in his thirties, he has become a director who can direct a blockbuster, plus Kevin's basic salary, millions of dollars a year can still be obtained.

This salary, in the United States, can be regarded as the income of the upper class.

Basically you don't have to worry about money.

Now more from the point of view of my hobby and career, I am making movies.

Jackie Chan on the side interjected:

"If you go to the mainland to play, you can go to Hong Kong first, and I will take you to play. After you have played all over Hong Kong, you can go to the mainland."

The three immediately chatted about travel.

Kevin didn't interrupt, just made up for it.

Interjecting last night, he was really tired.

A little lack of sleep.

In the morning, I did the Eight-Part Vajra Exercise for an hour to nourish my kidney qi, which made me a little tired, so I just took time to rest.

It was soon time for lunch. Americans had a casual lunch, but of course Kevin wasn't a casual person. Dawson's secretary packed some food from a nearby upscale restaurant and delivered it along with a few bottles of beer.

Under Kevin's greeting, several people started eating and drinking.

After eating and drinking, everyone rested in Kevin's office and continued to wait for the box office data of the first day to come.

･･･

At 2:30 in the afternoon, Dawson received the data sent by the investigator, and then walked towards Kevin's office.

After knocking on the door, it was Mitt who came to open the door.

The smell of alcohol is still a little bit pungent, but these are obviously not the point.

It can't delay the box office data on the first day.

As soon as Dawson entered the door, Jackie Chan couldn't wait to ask about the data:

"President Dawson, how many box office did you get on the first day of Rush Hour?"

Dawson didn't give a shit, and handed the information to Jackie Chan.

After receiving the data, Jackie Chan chanted word by word.

"$33,236,880!"

After reading this data, a huge joy rushed to my heart.

If it is said that the red area has a small fire, it can be regarded as a counterattack of a small success.

Then the box office on the first day of the rush hour proves that he can carry the box office.

With this achievement, he will truly have a successful foothold in Hollywood.

Hong Kong is his foundation, and Hollywood is his dream. What he wants to do is to become an international superstar, not a Hong Kong superstar.

But in the next movie, he doesn't plan to work with Kevin anymore. With Kevin, people will only identify the success factor as Kevin. He wants to try to direct and act by himself.

The first day of the rush hour box office came out, and the expression on Kevin's face remained calm.

On the first day of the box office, if the situation is good, the North American box office can break 300 million.

If the situation is bad, it will be 200 million.

In terms of global channels and follow-up income, it is certain to make money, it depends on how much you earn.
