Chapter 227:

Chapter 333 Action Movie

“I know that there is a Chinese kung fu master. It seems that he was among the bombing cannons shot last year.”

“It is said that it also caused a wave of kung fu enthusiasm?”

Last year, in the movie Boom 4, Jet Li had a few minutes in the scene, which caused a sensation among the audience.

Speaking of playing beautifully in the movie, there is such a kung fu emperor in the entire Chinese entertainment circle.

“Yes, it’s him, Kevin, are you interested in making a movie with him?”

“We originally had this idea, but we were a little hesitant…”

Kevin understood what Warner meant.

Looking for Jet Li to make a movie, seems good?

It was really Kevin’s idea to make an action movie.

Jet Li strengthens Sen?

In an instant, countless thoughts appeared in Kevin’s mind.

“It’s possible, but I need to think about it. You can help me contact Jet Li.”

“Okay, he’s in Los Angeles, and his wedding will be held on September 14th. Is Director Kevin interested in attending?”

“Okay, this will be arranged by President Robinov.”

After a brief recollection, Kevin knew that this was the wedding between Jet Li and Li Zhi.

I have to say that behind the identity of Kung Fu Emperor, Jet Li also has a somewhat disgraceful side.

But this kind of personal matter has nothing to do with Kevin, and Jet Li is just a star.

Kevin sees his ability.

Kung fu, in the United States at this time, is a rare element.

There is only one point, whether Jet Li as the protagonist will cause a boycott in the United States.

Kevin is very clear about the plight of the Chinese in the United States.

Although racial discrimination is not allowed on the surface.

But in fact, in the United States, the first race is always white.

Then there are black people.

Followed by other minorities.

As for the Chinese, the status is the lowest.

To be honest, Kevin has never understood why the Chinese came to the United States so desperately.

If it was said that it was because of lack of food in the past, then after everyone can have enough to eat, why do people still yearn for the United States so much?

If you have money, let’s not talk about it.

After all, with money, these discriminations are not a problem.

In America, the rich are the privileged class.

But without money, this is hell, these people…

Kevin waved his hand.

These things are not his concern.

His current status does not allow him to do some thankless things.

To put it bluntly, when these people choose to join the United States, the consequences are at their own risk.

“it is good!”

Robinoff responded immediately, and at the same time began to look forward to Kevin’s new project.

・・・

Hanging up the phone, Kevin also thought about the theme of the new movie in his mind.

There are actually quite a lot of Hollywood action themes. Kevin just thought about it in his mind and a lot of them appeared.

Among them, he first reviewed some of Jet Li’s future movies.

The Cosmos Wanted seems to be good, with full marks for its creativity. Unfortunately, it only received a box office of 70 million US dollars. Compared with its cost of 50 million US dollars, it is a loss.

Deadly Romeo and the Kiss of the Dragon is okay, but the overall upper limit is just over $100 million.

It’s not really that high.

If he chooses Jet Li’s movie, Kevin knows that there is a high probability that he will not be able to support the box office.

This made Kevin dispel the idea of making Jet Li the absolute protagonist.

This is not because Jet Li can’t do it, but because of the American environment and discrimination against Chinese people.

Just like in the mainland movie market, how is it possible that a movie with a Japanese star as the protagonist wants to achieve particularly good results?

Although the metaphor is not very appropriate, but probably this is what it means.

The only way is to have two protagonists.

As a director, being able to shoot a movie with Jet Li as the protagonist can be regarded as fulfilling a little wish in his heart.

To put it bluntly, Kevin has a little idol filter for Jet Li and wants to support him a little.

Of course, it’s even better if you can make a little money while supporting.

Abandoning Jet Li’s own movies, Kevin turned his attention to Hollywood as a whole, and his vision suddenly broadened.

Those tough guy action movies are generally played by muscular tough guys. This is ruled out first.

It is undoubtedly nondescript for this kind of movie to let Jet Li come.

The second is other types of films with play.

For example, adventure movies, this point, Jet Li is quite suitable.

The movie he once collaborated with Tsui Hark, Adventure King, is quite interesting.

However, the box office of that movie, because it was too old, Kevin was not impressed.

But since it feels good to him, if you want to come, it should be okay.

The image of Jet Li is also very suitable for playing an explorer with thick eyebrows and big eyes.

Adventure movies can be used as an alternative.

With several options in mind, Kevin turned his attention to other types.

Crime Movies, Special Agent Movies, Rescue Series…

Quick chase?

These movie types flashed through Kevin’s mind one by one, and finally Kevin turned his attention to the rescue series.

The so-called rescue series is actually the name given by Kevin himself. Generally speaking, it refers to a movie with a plot to rescue a certain target.

From this perspective, Schindler’s list and saving Private Ryan can be counted in this category.

But what Kevin said, of course, is not this, but similar to action movies such as hurricane rescue, life and death speed, and air rescue.

In these rescue films, the protagonists use their neat skills to eradicate criminal gangs, or gang members, etc., and the goal is to rescue their relatives.

Or some very important goals.

Like the President of the United States?

This kind of movie, in the previous Hollywood, actually emerged endlessly, this is a type of classic movie type.

But still the same sentence, Hollywood action movies are too ugly to shoot.

In fact, the audience can still accept it before more exciting action scenes come out.

But since Kevin raised the entire action level of Hollywood through Hong Kong’s martial arts, this type of action film has hit the streets a lot.

The common complaint of the audience is, is this a fight?

It looks like playing home.

This has almost become a unified slot.

To put it bluntly, among Hollywood directors, there are too few people who can skillfully use martial arts as a profession.

This has also led to the fact that for the past two years or so, there has been no such action movie released.

This is the time to shoot action movies, just to satisfy the hungry audience.

Thinking of this, Kevin lifted his spirits, and it seemed that the idea of starting an action movie was quite good.

Especially this thrilling rescue series.

As for the corresponding, Kevin doesn’t care about the criticism that will come at that time.

As a big capitalist, his primary purpose is profit, not art.

Chapter 334 Hurricane Rescue

Play with art and wait until he’s fifty or sixty years old to think about it.

Presumably at that time, even if he made a bunch of movies that no one could understand, there would be countless film critics rushing to say that it was a masterpiece.

After all, Hollywood is Vanity Fair, and sometimes, awards are really not based on film quality.

It is given according to the status of the person who made the movie. The future Black Panther, Green Book, etc., everyone knows it.

Knowing this, if you watch the so-called art films again, you will find that most art films are rubbish.

Of course, it is not that there is no good, but in this era of rampant capital, good artwork does not mean good box office.

So these things Kevin won’t even think about for a second until he’s completely climbed to the top of Hollywood.

Having chosen the subject matter, Kevin also began to choose movies in terms of production cost and future box office potential.

With Kevin’s memory, it is naturally impossible to remember everything so clearly.

Therefore, in the later time, Kevin asked Dawson to arrange for someone to help collect action movies from the past ten years. Through these materials, he compared with his memory to see what other action movies are most suitable for shooting now.

After ten days of searching.

Kevin finally settled on a suitable movie.

Taken.

This rescue movie directed by Pierre Morel, with a production cost of 50 million US dollars, achieved a good result of more than 200 million US dollars at the global box office.

Let its producers make a lot of money, although it doesn’t sound as good as the box office of other movies in the morning movie.

But if you consider that this is a French movie.

Then the box office is very impressive.

If this movie is starring Kung Fu Emperor Jet Li and Johnson, who is full of hilarity and action from the audience.

Add to that the reputation of Steve Kevin, and greater publicity, higher investment.

Simply put, it’s a super deluxe version of Hurricane Rescue.

What kind of box office results can be achieved?

Even Kevin is not sure about this, but he dares to say that this is definitely a top-level commercial blockbuster that dazzles the audience.

Just thinking about it, Kevin felt his blood boil, as if he had regained the enthusiasm that he had just filmed for the movie.

In this way, after being with Anne Hathaway for half a month, Kevin left her and began to meet with gold screenwriters in the company. For Kevin’s idea, he produced a double-protagonist script with a full sense of rhythm.

The plot of the hurricane rescue is simple.

The protagonist is a retired agent, and his long-term career as an agent has caused the relationship between the protagonist and his wife and daughter to become more and more distant. After retirement, the protagonist is very fond of her daughter in order to make up for it.

However, when her daughter asked her to go to Paris alone, the protagonist refused her request because of worry.

The father and daughter had a big fight, and in the end, the protagonist, who felt guilty about his daughter, agreed to her daughter’s request.

As a result, her daughter was abducted by a prostitution gang in Paris.
