Entertainment tycoon since 83

Chapter 189 Leading to the crime
In fact, Huang Ze already had some ideas about what to shoot after recruiting Quentin Tarantino as assistant director last year.

With the cooperation with Warner, the production cost is limited to low cost.

This further strengthened Huang Ze's idea.

Just shoot it.

"pulp Fiction"!
This is a classic from 94, and it is also Quentin's famous work. People who like it love it to death, while people who hate it find it incomprehensible.

But overall, there are still a group of supporters.

Otherwise, it would not have been possible to successfully gross 107 million U.S. dollars with a cost of 8 million U.S. dollars in a year with a series of films such as "Forrest Gump", "The Lion King", "True Lies", "Speed", etc., and rank tenth in the North American box office.

You have to know that Quentin at that time was not unknown, but he was just a rookie.

The actors are either unknown or have been abandoned by the market.

With just such a group of people and such a cost, they achieved such results. It can be said that this is a very successful work.

It is a commercial success and has also won many awards, including three major European awards and two Oscars!
Moreover, it has enough influence in the academic circle, and it uses the techniques of random sequence and circular narrative to perfection.

As his work after Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, it is still innovative in narrative techniques and structure, which will appear to be more consistent and easier for everyone to accept.

In addition...

Huang Ze thought of Quentin Tarantino.

He is talented, and it's not just Pulp Fiction that makes him famous.

Even if I copied his work and invested in his movies, he would still be able to develop.

Let him be his assistant director on Pulp Fiction first.

amount……

By the way, maybe some of the director made mistakes...

But it doesn’t matter. So what if I committed a crime? It’s my last name, Huang.

Yellow haired yellow!

And you clearly came here before me, so you can take it with you later.

After you finish your work as an assistant director, I will invest in two movies for you. Is that nice?

You are responsible for making money for me, and by the way, promoting this kind of talkative movie and cheering for yourself in the director circle.

By then there will be Wang Jiawei in China and Quentin abroad.

"By then, will I be able to say that my students are all over the world?"

"Haha!" After imagining a bright future, Huang Ze lowered his head and started writing the script.

Now I can type on the computer.

But the experience of using various things is very average.

And because he had always written by hand before, Huang Ze had gotten used to it and still maintained the habit of writing by hand.

Since he had plenty of time, Huang Ze reduced his work intensity and spent a week finally finishing the script for Pulp Fiction.

After filing the script, Huang Ze submitted it to Warner for review. While waiting for the result, he started drawing the storyboards.

……

On September 9th, "Once Upon a Time in China II", which had been released for a month and four days, was completely withdrawn from the screen.

In the end, the box office still broke 30 million, but because of a strong competitor like "Police Stories 2", it did not exceed by much, just 30.7 million.

But it is also the fifth film to break 30 million in the Hong Kong film market this year.

The third one is "Once Upon a Time in China II".

Two-fifths are Wong Fei-hung, two-fifths are Jackie Chan, and the other one is the Lunar New Year film "Eight Stars Reporting Joy" which brings together many stars.

"Once Upon a Time in China" has almost shared the world with Jackie Chan, Golden Harvest's ultimate weapon.

After seeing the actual data, the film companies that had been hesitant before no longer hesitated and immediately began preparing for costume films.

On the Xinghai side, the distribution rights of the two films in Japan, South Korea and Southeast Asia have all been sold except Taiwan.

Relying on Huang Ze's fame and the influence of "Shaolin Temple" in Southeast Asia at that time, the selling price was not low. The two films together made another 5 million US dollars.

The money is increasing.

There is still only one project in progress.

No, one and a half. The Grudge is still in the process of location scouting, so it can only be considered half.

The other one is a long-time fixture of the company, Days of Being Wild.

Preparations began last year and filming started at the beginning of this year.

The shooting has not been completed yet.

Huang Ze knew Wang Jiawei's personality well, and seeing that he hadn't gone over budget and hadn't asked for investment, he didn't urge him.

But now I have no choice but to urge her.

How long has it been since you approved the script and storyboards?
If you are asked to make a movie, either you fail to achieve the desired effect or the actors don't perform well enough.

When making a movie, it’s common to take things slow and be meticulous.

but……

Brother, we have been shooting for a year and it’s not finished yet. Do you think we are going to the moon?
I have already polished the storyboards for you.

Huang Ze felt that he couldn't wait any longer.

Maybe he will go to the United States to film a movie someday, which will take several months. Who will take care of Wang Jiawei then?
That's a wild horse that has broken free from its reins.

He had to make him finish the filming quickly, so Huang Ze came to Wang Jiawei's filming site for the first time.

I put on my sunglasses in the car and then got out.

When I came into the room, I saw Wang Jiawei also wearing a pair of sunglasses.

"Click." He shouted and started again.

The leading actor Zhang Guorong turned his head and looked at Wang Jiawei, wanting to know where his acting was not good enough so that he could make some changes.

But Wang Jiawei refused to say anything and gestured for him to perform it again.

Should we follow the director's instructions? The director was wearing sunglasses, so we couldn't see anything.

For a moment, Zhang Guorong regretted taking on this movie.

He felt that working with this director was simply incompatible, and making this movie was a waste of his youth and emotions.

What are you doing, brother?

I’ve performed it twenty times, is that not enough?

Do you have something against me and are deliberately messing with me?

"Mr. Huang."

"Boss." The staff greeted Huang Ze one by one.

Wang Jiawei also saw Huang Ze and wanted to come over.

"Go on." Huang Ze pressed his palm down to signal them to continue working.

Wang Jiawei naturally let Zhang Guorong continue performing.

Coincidentally, this shot is the one of Zhang Guorong dancing in front of the mirror.

Huang Ze also felt that the dance he performed was slightly different from the original.

It's rhythm.

"Bring a guitar." As soon as Huang Ze shouted, someone immediately went to find a guitar for the boss.

Huang Ze’s guitar playing skills are not very good, but this instrument is not difficult to learn, so Huang Ze can still play it.

After testing the tone, Huang Ze recalled the melody to which Zhang Guorong danced in the original version of "Days of Being Wild" and played it again.

"Okay, dance again and pay attention to the rhythm." Huang Ze raised his chin towards Zhang Guorong and started moving his fingers again.

The melody still didn't quite match this time, but by the second time, it was completely right.

Wang Jiawei, who was observing Zhang Guorong's performance, was delighted and said, "Okay, this one passed."

"A Fei, you should have a good rest."

After comforting the male lead, Wang Jiawei took off his sunglasses and came to Huang Ze, "Director Huang, why are you here?"

"Come and see what kind of film you are making. Why does it take so long to make a film without any big scenes?"
