Hollywood: Great Directors Starting with Saw

"Masses, what they like is not elegant art films."

"If nothing else, you try to loosen the control of eighteen forbidden movies, do you guess they will watch that kind of movie, or watch these movies that pursue art."

"Of course, this is not to say that pursuing art is wrong, but art should be a popular embellishment."

"To put art above the popular is to put the cart before the horse."

Kevin's words, like an empowerment, completely changed his mind.

"So Director Kevin means, I should go and make commercial films?"

Zhang Yimou asked a little unconfidently.

"Yes, it's not just you, I think the film market needs more commercial film directors."

"That's how a virtuous circle can be formed."

Kevin replied in the affirmative.

After thinking about it in his heart, Zhang Yimou was stunned to find that what Steve Kevin said was reasonable.

The idea of shooting a commercial blockbuster on your own jumped on paper.

As leaders in the Chinese film industry, they can't just focus on making the films they want to make.

Also think about the big picture.

And it is their responsibility to make the film market more prosperous.

Commercial films can attract audiences into the cinema and cultivate their viewing habits, and when these people increase, the film market will mature.

Jiang Wen also rolled his eyes and leaned over:

"Director Kevin, it's better for you to teach us, Hollywood film shooting techniques and skills, I will teach you eight diamond gongs, which is the kind of special exercises for fitness that you want."

"No problem."

Kevin, who is a good teacher, agreed with his mouth.

After chatting with them again, Kevin led the two to Tsui Hark's place.

...

"Maguire, how are you practicing your kung fu?"

Looking at Maguire's awkward movements, Tsui Hark couldn't help but frown.

When he asked this, he was actually accusing Maguire of not working hard.

Given that there are too many foreigners in this crew, it is not good for him to make such direct accusations.

After all, the status of Chinese Americans in the United States is quite average, although he is a big director in Hong Kong, but in front of this group of Hollywood teams, his words are not so effective.

And it's not good for him to say this kind of thing directly to Steve Kevin, after all, as a director, you can't control the crew.

It's actually a shameful thing.

"It's very good practice!"

Maguire was completely unaware of his own poor skills.

Still in a sense of self-righteousness.

Seeing that Maguire didn't seem to understand what he meant, Tsui Hark said again:

"I feel that your movements need further practice."

"But I think my movements are pretty standard."

Maguire did not relent.

In Hollywood, the director's status and resume are related.

Tsui Hark has hardly any work in Hollywood, so the popularity can be said to be zero.

With his resume alone, it is naturally impossible to subdue Maguire.

Even Maguire wants to take the initiative so that he can play more scenes.

He has seen the script of Shushan's play, and although he is nominally the protagonist, in fact, this is more like a group drama.

The supporting role is even more than the lead role.

If this play is Kevin directing, then he would not dare to do such a thing that contradicts the director anyway.

However, producer Kevin went to play with the two beautiful women, which made him think this way.

If you succeed, the benefits are too much...

"I'm the director!"

Tsui Hark just said a word to express his status, and stared at Tobey Maguire, waiting for him to back down.

The heroine, as a newcomer, silently did not dare to speak on the side.

The dispute between the actor and the director has nothing to do with her as a newcomer, just don't get angry.

Kevin came to the scene and saw such a scene, the crew had just started, and the actor and director were silent.

"Did someone tell me what happened?"

Kevin looked around and asked aloud.

Zhang Yimou and Jiang Wen stood behind them silently.

This kind of contradiction between the crews is not something they should participate in, just as a bystander.

Seeing that no one was speaking, Kevin pointed to an assistant director:

"You, tell me what happened?"

The deputy director who was pointed out, with a bad look, came to Kevin and retold what had just happened impartially.

Kevin immediately understood that this was a fight for the crew's right to speak.

However, in the crew held by Kevin.

He will not allow others to do this kind of thing that robs the director of the voice.

Kevin's face sank, and he walked into the crowd.

"I will only say it once, I hope that you will respect and follow the instructions of director Tsui Hark."

"In the crew, next, I don't want anything to challenge the authority of director Tsui Hark."

"If anyone delays the filming task of the crew, I swear, I will make him pay."

"Such a person, with only one result, get out of Hollywood."

"Understood? Everybody!

Kevin scanned the crew with his eyes and saw that no one spoke, only then continued:

"Now, the crew rests for an hour, Director Tsui Hark, you come with me."

Tobey Maguire, under Kevin's words, quickly sobered up.

The previous thing was just a wave of temptation, between the actor and the director, either the east wind overwhelmed the west wind, or the west wind overwhelmed the east wind.

With Kevin's support, he obviously can't beat Tsui Hark.

Tobey Maguire was ready to soften.

Really offended Steve Kevin, basically announced the end of his Hollywood tour.

It wasn't something he wanted to see.

On the other side, Kevin introduced Zhang Yimou and Jiang Wen for Tsui Hark.

"They are the staff sent by the government to oversee the filming, and likewise, they are the top directors in the mainland film industry."

"This is Zhang Yimou, this is Jiang Wen."

"After their investigation, the movie Shushan will also be released simultaneously on the mainland at that time."

Tsui Hark had a smile on his face.

"Hello."

"I'm Tsui Hark, and I've heard of two daimyo as early as Hong Kong."

While being polite with the two, Tsui Hark lamented Steve Kevin's great powers.

Censorship on the mainland has always been strict, and it is very difficult for even Hong Kong films to be released on the mainland, let alone a foreigner-invested and foreigner-made film.

For Tsui Hark, such a movie about the fairy and hero of the continent in his heart.

What he hopes most is naturally the recognition of the mainland masses.

However, he originally had a negative attitude towards whether it could be released on the mainland, but he did not expect that Kevin had actually arranged it in advance.

Just wait for the movie to be filmed and release it directly.

This is naturally very exciting news.

After some politeness.

Kevin said again:

"In the next few months of shooting, it will trouble director Tsui Hark."

Tsui Hark nodded.

After the supervisors were in place, Kevin's side also began his own play.

In the early stage of shooting, about half a month, Kevin's side took an overview of the overall situation and set the tone for the movie.

Zhang Yimou and Jiang Wen saw the industrial shooting of Hollywood movies for the first time.
