Hollywood: Great Directors Starting with Saw

Memory is not good.

The closer to the film released during the Oscars, the higher the probability of winning.

After reaching this understanding.

Movies that rush awards are generally scheduled from September to November.

It does not collide with the summer and Christmas blockbusters, and it can also be closer to the time of the Oscars.

Therefore, in April, the spring schedule, which is released, are some small-cost movies, they do not compete with blockbusters at the box office, but try to get their own audience to watch.

As for May, this easiest time to break the head was chosen by Kevin.

It's not that you can't fight, it's that it's not necessary.

There are so many good schedules in the back, why do you have to do things.

This kind of killing a thousand enemies and self-harming eight hundred, Kevin does not take it.

After arranging these things, Dawson turned away and got busy with work.

Looking at his back, Kevin called Tsui Hark again.

After last year's summer vacation, I returned to Hong Kong, and then ran propaganda in Japan, South Korea, and the mainland, and then spent a year in Hong Kong.

It wasn't until more than a month ago that Tsui Hark came to the United States with his wife and children.

It can be described as a good rest.

Counting the time, he had almost rested enough, and Kevin was ready to arrange a new job for him.

After making the call, Tsui Hark, who lives near the company, immediately went out and rushed over.

As a contracted director of the company, there is no fixed place to work.

Wherever you want, it is no exaggeration to say that you usually work from home.

····

"Kevin."

Upon entering, Tsui Hark greeted him.

"Have fun going back to Hong Kong?"

Kevin teased.

This feeling of returning home naturally does not need to be said.

It really made Tsui Hark experience the feeling of a big director in Hong Kong, and I don't know how many actors fawned over him, hoping to participate in his films shot in the United States, so as to gild himself.

But Tsui Hark didn't promise anyone.

At present, he feels that he has not yet taken a solid foundation in Hollywood, and he does not dare to do something out of the ordinary.

He, a Chinese director, still feels some difficulties in the United States.

This is still the profession of a director, and if you are an actor, I am afraid it will only become more serious.

When he has half of Steve Kevin's status, it is estimated that he has wayward capital, which he thinks clearly.

"Not bad."

Coughing, Tsui Hark said in a tone that was actually very playful.

"So, isn't it time to work."

Kevin turned his head and went directly to Tsui Hark.

"Yes, yes."

Tsui Hark also answered.

It's been so long since I rested, and it's almost time to get to work.

But what to shoot, he has no idea yet.

Of course, on the whole, it is certainly okay to continue the style of Shushan.

This is his unique style in Hollywood.

It is an advantage that other directors can't imitate, and with this advantage, wouldn't it be a waste not to shoot this.

Seeing that Tsui Hark responded, Kevin listed the themes that he had long thought of suitable for him.

"Tsui Hark, I have carefully thought about several themes, you can choose one."

"Painting skin, Lu Juqitan, fox fairy, these three stories from Liaozhai, adapt their core into a story that Americans can understand, find one to shoot?"

Although it is a question, it is actually a multiple-choice question.

These are a few amazing stories that Kevin has carefully selected.

Painting skin, exciting enough, monsters in human skin, talk about a sadomasochistic relationship between people and ghosts.

Of course, it can also be adapted into a horror film, depending on the director.

But in Tsui Hark's style, this is definitely going to be a sadomasochistic relationship, after all, it is the director of Qiannu Ghost.

And Lu Juqi's talk is even more interesting, this is a story about changing hearts and heads in Liaozhai.

Adapted into the American version, it is also not bad.

However, this is a pure horror film, and the investment should not be too high, otherwise it is not so good to recover the cost.

Finally, there is the fox fairy, which is a typical sweet love movie.

There are several good vixens in the chat, and it depends on which one Tsui Hark is going to choose.

In the face of the subject matter proposed by Kevin, Tsui Hark is not surprised.

Ever since he talked to Kevin in Chinese, he knew that Kevin was definitely a Chinese level.

It is not surprising to know about Liaozhai.

To be honest, he has read this strange novel many times, and he likes many of the stories in it.

The movie Qiannu Ghost he made is adapted from a story in Liaozhai.

After Kevin said this, he also thought about the three themes Kevin said.

Lu Jue's story of changing heads and hearts is not liked by the public, if the investment is large, it is likely to lose money, and this kind of theme was directly abandoned by him.

It is not impossible to change, but it is very difficult.

Instead, painted skin and fox fairy are very suitable for adapted stories.

But...

As soon as he thought of Qiannu Ghost, he made up his mind to come back to another American version of the painted skin.

The concept of ghosts, which also exist in the United States, is often called evil spirits.

In fact, the concept is the same.

Therefore, the cultural differences of this kind of film are relatively small.

Painting skin, the success rate is much higher.

As for how the painting skin should be adapted, it is actually not difficult, Tsui Hark simply thought about it and had some ideas.

Of course, the specific must also communicate with the screenwriter, step by step.

But choosing to paint the skin is a sure thing.

"Then draw the skin."

After thinking in front of Kevin for a minute or so, Tsui Hark made a decision.

"Well, if you are a screenwriter, go find it yourself and see which screenwriter best suits your style."

"If you are targeting, will next year's summer file work?"

"No problem!"

Tsui Hark agreed.

A whole year, judging from the speed of Hong Kong filming, is actually quite sufficient, and more time is estimated to be spent on special effects makeup.

Of course, there is also one of the necessary elements for the success of this type of film.

Handsome men and beautiful women.

Qiannu Ghost can succeed, in fact, her brother Leslie Cheung and Wang Zuxian have contributed a lot.

When the characters stand, the story naturally unfolds.

Can the female ghost fall in love at first sight, isn't it a handsome guy.

And let the handsome guy, fancy the female ghost, how can this female ghost not be beautiful.

The logic is clear and reasonable.

These things are clearly thought in the mind.

After a few more words with Kevin, Tsui Hark left Chenxi and went to the screenwriters' union to find a suitable screenwriter.

Watching Tsui Hark leave, Kevin smiled.

Tsui Hark's choice was no surprise to him.

Between the three, painting skin is the easiest to shine, and ghost love itself is a gimmick.

There are many similar stories in the United States.

The more famous people have ghost love, like heaven, etc.
