Hollywood: Great Directors Starting with Saw

"Can you catch the summer of 2000?"

"That's fine."

Mitt breathed a sigh of relief, patted his chest, and immediately answered.

After these arrangements were completed, Kevin looked at Tsui Hark again.

Without waiting for Kevin to ask, Tsui Hark also reported:

"It should be able to catch up with the tail of the summer file, and it will be released in early August."

Tsui Hark's movie, Shushan World, is what Kevin worries about the most.

Although the sales of this comic in Shushan World are quite good, after all, it is a comic that Kevin requires to strictly follow the rhythm of Shuangwen, but comics and movies are actually two different things.

Human perception of pictures and videos is different.

Moreover, whether this oriental painting style can always attract American audiences is also a problem, but Shushan World, even if it loses, it is impossible to lose everything, which Kevin still counts.

If he loses 20 or 30 million, Kevin is still willing to do it, after all, this is exploring the future path for Sunrise Movie.

At present, Kevin is almost the big IP wool.

In addition to things such as the Lord of the Rings that have long been ordered by others, there are some big IPs that have not yet been born.

In Kevin's view, the birth of future movie IP will start from the game.

This is also why he took the Pokémon first.

In addition to Pokémon, another major game IP, World of Warcraft, and Alliance Kevin are also ready to be included.

However, Warcraft does not even have the shadow of its birth now, and Kevin vaguely remembers that World of Warcraft only began public beta in the United States after 04.

Until then, Kevin wasn't prepared to disrupt Blizzard's development of the game so as not to die in the bud.

After World of Warcraft appeared, Kevin once again pocketed Blizzard.

With his power power, it is not too simple to oppress a blizzard that has not yet risen.

If Blizzard wants to, Kevin can do the same thing as a penguin treats a fist, with only the most basic supervision, keeping it free.

As for reluctance, for Kevin, the word does not exist.

"Okay, everyone come on, when the busy is over, I will wrap a red envelope for everyone, if the box office of the movie is good, there will be another prize."

In terms of giving money, Kevin is still very generous.

If the movie sells well, let alone one movie brings them more than ten million profits.

In this era, the net worth of more than ten million US dollars, it is no exaggeration to say that if you do not invest indiscriminately, you will not be able to use it up in a lifetime.

This is also the reason why the Russo brothers are so desperate.

There is a truth that Kevin takes to heart.

There are two reasons for employees to leave, one is that they are aggrieved, and the other is that the money is not enough.

And if the money is enough, in fact, the heart will not be aggrieved.

The Russo brothers, since coming to Kevin, although they are mainly TV series directors and have only made one movie, they have also each taken a million net worth, and these predecessors have a net worth of tens of millions here, which is naturally a sincere belief in Kevin.

"Well, when the movie is over, there are still many movies on my side, and you need to shoot them, so you can speed up the progress."

Everyone nodded in unison.

Kevin was also about to elaborate, and when he raised his head, he saw Zhang Yimou.

With a wave of his hand, he signaled for the person who brought him to leave first.

Kevin greeted with a smile:

"Director Zhang, please sit!"

"Thank you!"

With Zhang Yimou's cultural level, English is naturally not a problem, there are many foreigners here, and Zhang Yimou is also skilled in responding in English.

When Zhang Yimou sat down, Kevin introduced to everyone:

"This is the leader of the mainland film circle, Zhang Yimou, Director Zhang, currently coming to Hollywood to learn about the shooting methods of Hollywood movies."

Kevin's words are very level.

Take care of Zhang Yimou's face very thoroughly.

As soon as these words came out, Zhang Yimou also listened very comfortably in his heart.

Although he came to the United States to study with his head down, if he really said so, it would undoubtedly make him feel uncomfortable.

The people present saw Kevin's attitude and treated Zhang Yimou politely.

Greetings one after another.

After a brief introduction, Kevin said:

"Okay, you guys go and get busy with your business, when the movie is busy, come to the set to find me, and then there will be a job to find you."

As soon as these words came out, everyone scattered as birds and beasts.

Each of them got busy with the business at hand.

Wait until everyone else is gone.

Kevin then got straight to the point:

"Director Zhang, do you want to try making movies in Hollywood?"

Zhang Yimou nodded and said with a serious face:

"Yes, I hope I can become a director in Hollywood, and then bring back what I learned from Hollywood, as well as ideas."

Kevin nodded, just said lightly:

"I will help you become a Hollywood director, but the first film you shoot will not receive too much investment, and the production cost will be ten million dollars at most."

"If it can be profitable, subsequent films can consider increasing production costs."

As a director with no seniority in Hollywood, if Kevin didn't know that he had the ability, let alone a production of the scale of ten million dollars.

Even a million-dollar movie, he may not be able to get started.

Although he also won several awards at the Venice Film Festival, this kind of art-biased film did not do him any good to obtain investment in commercial films.

This ten million dollars is because Kevin considers the possibility of making a profit.

Second, it is also to sell Zhang Yimou a favor.

Kevin believes that the future Zhang Yimou is definitely worth spending this tens of millions of dollars to invest and make friends.

Zhang Yimou didn't say much.

Men's friendship sometimes comes like this.

Just for Kevin's friendship, in the future, as long as Kevin is useful in his place on the mainland, he will definitely do his best.

For a director with an official background, there is no need to talk about personal connections.

In the future, he will have a very friendly relationship with the person in charge of mainland films, and he can say that he can reach the sky without exaggeration.

"Thank you, Director Kevin, when I return to the mainland, in the future, if you use me for anything, I will definitely not shirk."

After receiving this promise from Zhang Yimou, Kevin also smiled.

With Zhang Yimou and his connections to help, plus Kevin's own reputation for being friendly to the mainland, the future mainland film market is simply at his disposal.

He now only hopes that Zhang Yimou can promote the mainland's film market to be more prosperous.

Reach the scale of the tens of billions of film market in the future early.

"Well, during this time, Director Zhang can take the position of assistant director in my new film to learn about Hollywood film shooting ideas and techniques."

"At the same time, think about what kind of movie should be made with this investment of tens of millions of dollars."
