Hollywood: Great Directors Starting with Saw

Mitt then stepped aside.

Kevin looked at Tsui Hark again.

"Director Tsui Hark, how did you do with the script adapted from the comic book Shushan World?"

"It's ready, and you can start shooting in the second half of the year."

Tsui Hark also took out the project book he had made according to Hollywood's standard process and handed it to Kevin.

After briefly flipping through it and making sure that there was no problem with the plan, Kevin nodded and said:

"Okay, you start planning the crew in the second half of this year, I hope the movie can be released during next year's Christmas schedule."

"Yes!"

Tsui Hark agreed, and this time Kevin gave him plenty of time.

A year and a half to shoot a movie, more than enough time, Tsui Hark is ready to polish the movie, become famous in one fell swoop, and establish a foothold in Hollywood.

After arranging Zack Snyder's work, and Tsui Hark's work.

Kevin looked at the Russo brothers again and thought.

The tempering of the TV series and the experience of the assistant director, so that Kevin Jue's ability should be enough to shoot movies.

But what movie to shoot for them, Kevin really didn't have a good arrangement in his heart.

Directly on the sequel to Spider-Man, firstly, he has not completely digested the gains brought by this wave of superheroes, and secondly, Kevin is also afraid that they will screw up the IP of Spider-Man.

It's better to find them a movie to practice their hands.

However, what movie to prepare, Kevin did not have any ideas for a while, and after thinking about it again, Kevin decided to ask them directly what they thought.

"I'm going to let you make a sequel to Spider-Man, but even if Spider-Man is released, it will take a year or two, do you want to make a small-cost movie first to practice your hands."

That being said, they all understood what Kevin meant.

This is to let them practice their hands and then take on the sequel to Spider-Man.

Even so, this made the two fall into ecstasy.

Although you need to prove yourself through a small production movie first, you will be able to take on the sequel film directed by Steve Kevin immediately.

Basically, it can be said that they are on the road to success.

"Good!"

The two brothers said in unison.

Kevin nodded as well.

"You make me a plan, and the investment amount is under ten million dollars."

"As long as the plan is feasible, it will be directly and fully invested by Sunrise Films."

The brothers were even happier.

Although it is a small production, in fact, ten million dollars is not so small, if you don't invite big-name actors and don't do too many special effects, it's actually more than enough.

But the two brothers, they really don't have any ideas now.

"You go to the company's script library and see if there is a suitable script for your shooting."

In Hollywood, large companies are actually the least lacking scripts.

Countless screenwriters will continue to submit their scripts to major film companies, and the quality and quantity of these scripts are determined according to the size of the film companies.

And with the scale of Sunrise Film Company, there are not too many scripts.

These scripts range from tens of thousands of dollars to hundreds of dollars.

Millions of dollars, enough to fill a whole library of scripts, this is the background of the film company.

Even Kevin doesn't know how many scripts have been collected, and whether there are gold mines waiting for others to dig, so he can only rely on a few directors of their company to find them himself.

These are also the heritage of Sunrise Film Company, with the development of time, maybe when, a good script will suddenly pop up inside.

This is something that no one can tell.

"Okay, then we'll go later."

The younger of the Russell brothers volunteered.

Kevin nodded.

At this point, except for Mitt, the directors of the Sunrise film have all been arranged by Kevin to do things.

Schedule the work.

Kevin went straight home to rest.

Tomorrow he plans to visit Hasbro Toys and discuss with them about selling the movie rights to Transformers and Special Forces.

Although this process may have some difficulties.

But Kevin really doesn't want to see these two big IPs missed like this.

What kind of miracle the future Transformers and special forces series can create, he knows.

The clock ticked to noon the next day.

Inside Warner Bros.

Executives and Robinoff waited in the conference room for the first-day box office and other data.

The atmosphere in the conference room was very depressing.

The response from the audience yesterday overshadowed their already happy mood.

In internal reviews, this is a standard commercial blockbuster, and it seems to be no different from Spider-Man, Ghost Rider, and Iron Man.

So at first, they were very optimistic about Green Lantern's achievements.

They don't even need to make money, as long as Green Lantern can recoup his costs and make a good start for the DC Universe, that's enough.

With Warner Bros.'s size, as long as the box office has $300 million, it can almost pay back.

Of course, don't count on peripheral income.

Peripheral revenues are often proportional to the film's profits.

A movie that loses money as a whole, and the sales volume around it will not be very satisfactory.

There was a knock on the door.

A blonde woman sent Green Lantern's first-day box office data to Robinoff's hands.

Some executives immediately couldn't wait to say:

"President, how was the box office on the first day?"

Robinoff's originally solemn face also showed a slight smile, and directly said:

"Green Lantern's first-day box office is 42.68 million US dollars!"

As soon as this data came out, the executives present suddenly became excited.

Everyone felt that Green Lantern had succeeded.

Their DC Universe plan is also about to succeed.

Following the path of Steve Kevin, they Warner is also rising.

No, more than rising.

With the capital giant of Time Warner as the support of the background, they are much stronger than Steve Kevin's various conditions.

While everyone was happy, Robinov could no longer laugh.

Although the first-day box office was beautiful, it actually relied on the super high number of films piled up, and Green Lantern's attendance rate was extremely low, low to an abnormal level.

This means that the cost of the theater side will increase dramatically, in order to save costs, in this case, the means adopted by the theater side is to compress the Green Lantern schedule.

In other words, Green Lantern's box office decline in a few days will be very exaggerated.

At the same time, what is worse is the word-of-mouth of the movie.

In the word-of-mouth survey, 80% of the moviegoers felt that the movie was very boring, far inferior to the superhero movies produced by Sunrise Film Company.

Of the remaining 20 percent, fifteen percent thought movies were ordinary.

You can watch it, but the audience will not recommend it to relatives and friends.

Less than five percent gave it a positive rating.
