Hollywood: Great Directors Starting with Saw

Time comes a day later.

Jackie Chan, Mitt and Zack Schneider are all at Sunrise, waiting for the first-day box office.

Kevin rushed to the company at noon.

I saw these three people, piled up in his office, one by one, holding Erlang's legs, bragging to each other.

Seeing Kevin coming, Mitt leaned over

and said, "They said that there are many delicacies in the mainland, is it true, you have been to the mainland, tell me about it."

Kevin fell on his own sofa and said,

"Didn't I give you and Zack Schneider a long vacation?" Do you want to play on your own? Mitter

was in high spirits.

"Okay, take my wife and Zach's wife with you."

Kevin patted his head.

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

"Soon, in a year or two, I'm going to have a wedding with Zach then."

Mitt laughed.

Although not as good as Kevin, they are also considered successful people.

In his thirties, he became a director who can direct blockbusters, and with Kevin's basic salary, he can still get millions of dollars a year.

This salary, in the United States, can be regarded as stepping into the upper income.

Basically, I don't have to worry about money.

Now I am making movies more from the perspective of my hobbies and career.

Jackie Chan on the side chimed in:

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

The three of them immediately chatted about the trip.

Kevin didn't interrupt either, just catching up on his sleep.

Interjecting last night really tired him.

Resulting in a bit of lack of sleep.

In the morning, I also did eight Vajra Gongs for an hour, nourished my kidney qi, which led to a little fatigue, and just took time to rest.

It was soon time for lunch, and American lunch was casual, but Kevin was certainly not a casual person, and Dawson's secretary packed some food from a nearby high-end restaurant and sent it with a few bottles of beer.

Under Kevin's greeting, several people ate and drank.

After drinking and eating, everyone rested in Kevin's office, continuing to wait for the first-day box office data to be delivered.

····

At 2:30 p.m., Dawson received the data from the investigator before walking towards Kevin's office.

There was a knock on the door, and it was Mitt who came to open it.

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

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

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

"President Dawson, how much box office did the rush hour get on the first day?"

Dawson also did not sell the pass, and handed the information in his hand to Jackie Chan.

Taking the data, Jackie Chan chanted word by word.

"Three thousand three hundred and twenty-three thousand six thousand eight hundred and eighty dollars!"

As soon as this data was read, a huge joy rushed to my heart.

If the Red Fan District has a small fire, it can be regarded as a counterattack of a small success.

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

With this achievement, he has truly succeeded in Hollywood.

Hong Kong is his foundation, 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, with Kevin, people will only identify the success factor as Kevin, and he wants to try directing and acting himself.

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

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

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

Counting the global channels, as well as the follow-up income, making money is certain, it depends on how much you earn and how little you earn.

But overall, it can be regarded as Kevin's expectations.

Mitt and Zach on the side were even happier than they were.

The success of rush hour once again proved their strength.

I believe that if it goes on like this, it is not far from the time for them to direct a movie alone.

As for the specific arrangement, it depends on Kevin's.

The two of them are not in a hurry at all, and the routes Kevin has arranged for them are very good, from assistant director to directing movies together.

Step by step, it is very safe.

According to Kevin's plan, they believe that when the right time comes, they will be able to direct the film independently.

Looking at their happy looks, Kevin clapped his hands and said:

"Okay, the box office on the first day is relieved, and then you can all go to rest, busy for a few months, let's go around and relax."

"By the way, Jackie Chan, let's talk alone."

Seeing that Kevin had something to find Jackie Chan alone, Mitt and Zach glanced at each other and left first.

They also want to talk to their girlfriends about going on a trip early.

When everyone left, Kevin looked at Jackie Chan and said directly:

"Jackie Chan, do you have any ideas for your next movie."

Jackie Chan said with a thoughtful look:

"I want to write and direct a movie by myself, and try to see if I can rely on myself and gain a foothold in Hollywood."

Although Jackie Chan did not say it explicitly, it was obvious that the box office at the peak hour stimulated him.

Seeing that it is hundreds of millions of dollars in profits, more than all the money he has made for so many years, I have to say that he is red-eyed, and he also wants to prove that the success of the film is because of himself, not because of others.

Kevin didn't have any displeasure, just said lightly:

"Then, next year, I'll contact Jackie Chan Big Brother to shoot the sequel to the rush hour?"

Jackie Chan took a deep breath and said,

"Good."

A tacit understanding arose in a simple conversation between the two.

Jackie Chan wants to take selfies and direct himself, get the maximum profit of the film, and prove himself at the same time.

And Kevin uses Rush Hour 2 as Jackie Chan's retreat in Hollywood, no matter what movies he makes and directs, he will not leave Hollywood in embarrassment.

Of course, if Jackie Chan does not engage in selfie and self-directed dramas, the salary given to him by Rush Hour 2 is not to mention a salary of seven or eight million US dollars.

But if you take a selfie and direct yourself, you have to adjust the salary that Rush Hour 2 can give according to the box office of Jackie Chan's movie.

This is the tacit agreement they reached.

After talking about this matter, Kevin left the Sunrise movie with Jackie Chan.

It is worth mentioning that Kevin transferred a million dollar red envelope to Jackie Chan during this period, which can be regarded as a praise for him as the male protagonist.

After all, in this movie, Jackie Chan only took three million dollars in salary.

Jim Carrey's salary is several times his salary.

Of course, Jackie Chan is not dissatisfied with this.

If it weren't for the small explosion in the Red Fan District, maybe there would be no three million dollars.

Kevin now packs another million dollars to him, which is also very generous.

As for the two directors, as well as Jim Carrey, they are also red envelopes of this amount.

····

The morning chases away the sunset, and time passes day after day.

With a beautiful box office on the first day, Mitt and Zack Schneider each brought relatives and went to Hong Kong for a vacation with Jackie Chan.

Kevin, on the other hand, is still busy at work.
