Hollywood: Great Directors Starting with Saw

"In!"

In the office, Kevin, who had just arrived, was sorting out his follow-up plans for the fairy universe, when he heard a knock on the door and raised his head.

Tsui Hark pushed the door in.

Seeing Kevin, a genuine smile appeared on his face.

Kevin, the investor, does not have that domineering feeling, but is friends with him and is generous.

It will not rely on friendship to press the salary, on the contrary, it will be a little higher than the market price.

Therefore, Tsui Hark has great respect for Kevin.

"Kevin..."

"Sit first."

Kevin raised his hand and gestured.

Tsui Hark followed Kevin's movements and sat down on the sofa on the side.

Kevin left his desk, came to the sofa opposite Tsui Hark, poured Tsui Hark a cup of hot tea, and then said:

"Director Tsui Hark, he wants to develop in Hollywood, right?"

Tsui Hark nodded.

After confirming that Tsui Hark's idea was okay, Kevin revealed his Xianxia cultural development plan.

"Director Tsui Hark should have heard of Marvel Comics, right?"

"Ever heard that it is said to be the largest comic book company with the second largest market share in the United States?"

Tsui Hark responded.

"That's right, this company is mine too."

Tsui Hark nodded.

As for why Kevin made Spider-Man, he knew in his heart.

are all his industry, if Spider-Man's box office hit, it can drive an entire industry chain.

More money than a single movie.

"Shushan has been successful so far, which shows that Americans can actually accept such a culture."

"I have an idea to make a comic of the Shushan series."

Tsui Hark listened.

"Present the world of Shushan in the form of superhero comics."

Tsui Hark listened a little confused.

How fairy tales and superheroes merge.

Looking at Tsui Hark a little puzzled, Kevin explained:

"My initial idea is that the world is divided into two layers, in which talented people can enter the inner world, that is, the Shushan world."

"They can get something called Reiki or something through various actions to make themselves stronger."

"Among them, there are good people and bad people, and they coexist in the city."

Tsui Hark hesitated for a moment, stating his understanding.

"Like a game world? Is it just a small number of players? A real game?

"Yes!"

The more Kevin spoke, the clearer his thinking became.

The important selling point is actually the same as that of superheroes.

It's just one more battle of the inner world.

This is a comic work that is very suitable for adaptation, and this large framework can derive a lot of content.

As for the fairy universe at the beginning, Kevin's idea was slow.

You must know that in the original history of Shushan Chuan for the second remake, the reason why the box office failed, a very important point, is too advanced, even the mainland people did not understand the fairy culture at that time, how can you expect a good box office.

After careful investigation, Kevin felt that it took a long time to carry forward the Xian Xia culture.

More diverse content is needed to get the American people to accept these things.

"Seems feasible?"

Tsui Hark touched his chin and thought.

He knew his greatest strength was making this kind of film.

Ordinary foreign directors can't understand the hidden charm of this culture, and it's certainly good to have more fairy tale content shooting.

"It must work!"

Kevin said directly.

"Director Tsui Hark, are you willing to sign with Sunrise Film Company?"

As a future among Chinese directors, the existence of the top five in terms of commercial value, signing Tsui Hark now is definitely a good deal.

Tsui Hark didn't hesitate for a second.

"Yes."

"Well, your treatment is equivalent to Mitt, sign Chenxi, I will definitely not let you suffer."

At present, Kevin's company, the contracted director, plus Tsui Hark, is a total of five people.

Among the highest-paid are Mitt and Zach.

As for the Russo brothers, the current treatment is not bad for themselves, of course, and Mitt they are far behind.

Faced with Kevin's words, Tsui Hark nodded and did not refuse.

Tsui Hark is also a proud man.

He feels that he is no worse than any director, and he dares to accept this kind of treatment given by Kevin, and he also wants to impress Kevin.

In order to treat this right, Tsui Hark thought for a while and suddenly said:

"Kevin, I am going to go to Marvel for a while and communicate with them specifically about the details of the comics to facilitate the later film adaptation."

"Also, I'm afraid that those comic writers can't understand the characteristics of this kind of comic and need me to communicate."

"Yes, I'll say hello, you can go."

"The comics will be on the market in the next two or three months, specifically in next year's Christmas file, I hope the movie can be released, this time, I still give you 60 million investment, time you coordinate yourself."

Tsui Hark really couldn't hold back this time.

A smile blossomed on his face.

At the same time, I made up my mind in my heart to call my wife and ask her to come to the United States.

After continuing to make small talk with Kevin, Tsui Hark left the morning light.

When Tsui Hark left, Kevin called Dawson.

"Is there any movement over there on Warner's side?"

Dawson nodded.

"It is said that Warner's side is ready to imitate the style of Batman's Dark Knight and restart Superman."

"We're looking for a gold producer to take over the project."

A triumphant smile appeared on Kevin's face, and then disappeared.

"Okay, then the company's business is completely handed over to you, and my side will start filming Spider-Man soon."

"If there is anything important, feel free to call."

"Yes!"

Dawson responded.

·····

Fast forward to the Christmas slot.

The movie Shushan, with a box office of 230 million US dollars, went offline in North America.

For the production cost of more than 60 million, the North American box office alone has already made a small profit.

And what surprised Kevin the most was that the surrounding area of Shushan was sold.

In addition to all kinds of hanging clothes, the sales of Excalibur skateboards are the most exaggerated, selling more than 100,000 pieces.

Originally, there were only two shapes, but after seeing the big sale, I urgently added some other flying sword skateboards with different shapes in the movie.

This is what has led to such exaggerated sales.

American skateboarders, if they don't buy a flying sword skateboard, they will be expelled from the skateboarder's skateboarding.

The overall sales of the surrounding area created a small miracle, reaching sales of 18 million US dollars in one month.

Excluding costs and booth fees for theaters, $13 million was generated.

Moreover, this popularity can continue for some time.

Visually generating 30 million dollars in sales, is not a big problem.

Of course, these are all things for the company to deal with, and Kevin doesn't need to worry about it.

At the same time, overseas channels, through MGM, also began to exert force, so that Shushan began to be released around the world.

Thanks to the huge influence of the United States, as long as the film has a high box office in the North American market, the box office in the overseas market is often not too bad.

Countries such as Britain and France are industrial countries, and they also have the problems of the United States.

Therefore, when it was released, the box office performance was quite good, and the scenery shown in the film was unanimously praised.

However, the best box office performance is still Asian countries.

The impression created by the Confucian cultural circle allows Asians to better understand some of the things expressed in the film.
