MTL - After Buying Marvel, I Became the King of Hollywood-Chapter 172

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 big Hollywood director, countless people are flattering him.

It just took him to the sky.

The former partners and directors such as Mai Jia and Huang Baiming are even more envious of him.

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

I don't know how many directors want to hook up with him, and also want to go to the United States to make movies.

But after so long and Kevin exchanges.

He knew that the director of Hong Kong, Kevin only saw two people.

One is him, and the other is John Woo.

But John Woo is in Hollywood now, 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 beautiful.

As a director, he directed a movie with an investment of up to 100 million US dollars, which changed his face.

The protagonist who changed his face is also a friend of Kevin.

Nicolas Cage.

In order not to conflict with Kevin's Spider-Man.

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

Got good box office results.

Of course, Kevin already knew this.

Cage also spoke to him.

And as Cage's classic movie, Kevin must let Cage take over this movie.

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

Inside a noisy cinema.

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

This is also impossible.

A romantic movie, even if you watch it alone.

Two big men came to see, it was hard not to misunderstand.

As Kevin, once the paparazzi broke out, it would be big news immediately.

Chapter 253 Surprising First Day Box Office

Political correctness in the United States has not yet reached its peak.

Homosexuality will still be discriminated against.

Several people were seated.

A mid-range, forward position was chosen.

Tickets for this location are better to buy.

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

Do something inappropriate.

Especially young men and women, who are already scheming, naturally choose the back row, which is convenient for doing things.

The occupancy rate is as high as 70%.

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

"Director Kevin, is the audience coming in because of the strong publicity, or because of the appeal of the actors?"

"Propaganda is the main thing!"

Kevin said directly.

No one knows the importance of publicity better than he does.

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

He really caught fire and became a superstar.

Because of the Titanic.

Before the release of this film, although he was nominated for the Best Supporting Actor Oscar through 1993's A Different Sky, and 1995's Romeo and Juliet won the Best Actor in the Berlin Film Industry.

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 very different.

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

Probably such an embarrassing situation.

As for James Cameron, to be honest, judging from Cameron's output, even if there are his fans, they would have already run away. For a movie for several years, which fans can wait.

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

Tsui Hark nodded knowingly.

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

People will go to the cinema for stars like Stephen Chow, Chow Yun-Fat and Jackie Chan.

Looking at Tsui Hark's expression, Kevin hinted:

"Take a closer look 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 film with your own film, I believe you can definitely achieve a very beautiful result."

Although Tsui Hark did not understand why Kevin said that.

But Kevin's words 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 the past life, relying on his identity as a director, a lot of so-called beautiful school flowers were posted backwards.

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

On the big screen, the Titanic plays.

Kevin also stopped chatting and watched seriously.

The familiar plot made Kevin recall the classics.

Such a modern romantic love scene with a very American view of love would not be surprising if it were placed in an ordinary movie.

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 love a lot.

Kevin's heart was completely unmoved.

Sometimes, he felt that he was calm and 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 is Jack, will he do the same thing as Jack in the movie and give himself the chance to survive.

This kind of proposition, people who can have girlfriends, naturally pass the test easily.

Then there is the show of love.

What followed was some word-of-mouth discussions.

Tsui Hark silently listened to the audience's remarks, and was surprised to find that there were no bad reviews.

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

enjoyment for others.

But for him, it was learning, and learning was often painful.

Under such pain, Tsui Hark frantically studied various Hollywood classics, and then communicated with Kevin and Mitt.

Up to now, Tsui Hark is no exaggeration to say that he is already a complete Hollywood director.

Several 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 separate, Kevin looked at Tsui Hark and instructed:

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

"Shooting a Titanic that incorporates oriental culture."

At this point, Kevin left with Sister Helen.

In the past few days, he would like to accompany the two sisters well.

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

He is going to put Tsui Hark's new movie on next year's Christmas season, which is more than enough time for one year.

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

To put it nicely, it is to shoot a film of the Eastern Titanic.

It's not good to say, it's just rubbing the heat.

That's right, when Kevin is ready, he will use the Titanic of the East to promote Tsui Hark's new movie.

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

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

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

Of course, Kevin's supervision is essential.

In order for these directors not to go astray, he painstakingly supervises their filmmaking.

From Kevin's point of view, none of these directors can completely reassure him.

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

The films made by such people are generally very distinctive.

But having features does not mean having box office.

Kevin had to supervise the production and let him follow his custom route.

That is, the story of the movie, the main line is clear, not showing off mysteries.

The mainstream commercial films have never been convincing and can still be popular.

The pace should be fast, and the content of the story should be in line with public perception.

･･･

the next day.

Fox and Paramount received various data from 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.

but too low.

It only grossed $4.7 million at the box office.

With investment and publicity, the Titanic, which cost more than $200 million, only earned $4.7 million at the box office on its first day.

According to the normal rules of commercial films, the North American box office of this film is estimated to have not even reached 50 million US dollars.
