Entertainment tycoon since 83

Chapter 283 Both rain and dew are touched
"Forehead……"

Zhang Jianya took a look at the preliminary plan written by Huang Ze.

After thinking for a while, he said.

"Old Huang, I still have a concern."

"This movie may not be a box office success in the North American market!"

"Since I started filming The Ring, I've been studying horror movies in my free time, no matter which country they are from."

"Horror films from the East, Japan, and our country, Thailand, are actually more psychological horror."

"It's like two parallel lines with horror movies in the United States."

"Over there, it felt like they were watching an autopsy or a tomato meeting."

"I don't know how much ketchup is used in one movie."

"If it's a few million, even 10 million Hong Kong dollars, I will definitely not say a word, but 10 million US dollars, if there is no success in North America, relying on Hong Kong Island, even if I am sold, I will still lose a lot of money. Isn't it more conservative?"

"It may be more than ten million." Huang Ze shook his head. "This actually requires a lot of big scenes, such as plane explosions and various explosions. They all cost a lot of money."

"Ten million dollars is just a conservative estimate of the cost I gave you."

"Fortunately, this film doesn't need any big stars, so we can save a lot on the salary."

“It’s really not a small amount.”

"but……"

"The bigger the waves, the more expensive the fish. You people from Putian who enjoy visa-free travel around the world should know this, right?"

"What does global visa-free mean?" Zhang Jianya was a little confused.

"Don't change the subject!" Huang Ze knocked on the table. "The more you pay, the more you earn. Once this project is successful, you will become a director who can make it in Hollywood."

“Make money!”

“Just imagine what it would be like then.”

"Not to mention the baby's milk powder, I've even got enough money for my great-grandson's milk powder."

"This..." Zhang Jianya laughed, "Don't make empty promises to me anymore. If you do, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep tonight."

"Don't worry, just shoot according to my ideas. It won't be a problem if something goes wrong." Huang Ze took all the responsibilities so that they could shoot with confidence.

"Okay." Huang Ze and Zhang Jianya nodded heavily.

Everyone wants to move higher step by step.

He is no exception.

After shooting two horror films and seeing that Huang Zedu had achieved such success, he also felt that the pond of the Hong Kong film market was a bit small.

He needs more development.

Now that there is such an opportunity and Huang Ze has given him a disclaimer, he certainly will not refuse, and he cannot refuse.

He had even begun to fantasize about making a name for himself in Hollywood. His wife, Zhang Yu, who had studied in the United States and always praised the United States, would look up to him.

Hahaha……

Zhang Jianya felt so happy that the corners of his mouth twitched twice.

Huang Ze noticed this subtle movement and leaned back against the back of the chair, smiling at Zhang Jianya, "You still say you don't dare to take over? What's the matter with secretly rejoicing?"

"When I thought about working for my boss again and letting him exploit me, I couldn't help but feel happy."

"By the way, Boss, do you have a script?"

"It's not ready yet. I'll show it to you when it's done." Huang Ze waved his hand and let Zhang Jianya go out.

Then he sat at his desk, holding a pen and began to detail every aspect of the script.

First of all, the purpose of this film is to promote the company's actors.

Then we must squeeze two actors from Xinghai into it, otherwise it would be a waste of the US dollars invested.

"Male protagonist? Or female protagonist?"

"Neither of them is suitable." As soon as the thought came to his mind, Huang Ze shook his head and rejected it. After all, this was the first horror film to be tested in North America. Using Chinese actors for the male and female leads might affect the box office. Most importantly, if the first film went wrong, it would seriously affect the strategic policy of Xinghai Horror Films to go global.

So it’s better to be conservative.

Both the male and female protagonists are Americans.

Find a younger American boy to play the male lead.

If this movie can achieve good box office, it would not be too late to replace one of the male and female protagonists with Chinese when making the sequel.

Anyway, this kind of movie always has a new pair of protagonists, and it is rare for them to survive to the next installment, and if they do, they will just be insignificant supporting roles.

Take it step by step, and then, by joining the sea of ​​stars, you may become an international movie star!

What, this is a horror movie, low quality?

unimportant!
In the past, some people could be considered international movie stars just by acting for a few minutes, or even in special editions.

If playing an important supporting role, or even the leading male role, in a horror movie is not called an international movie star, then what is an international movie star?
Teacher Six?
With the support of this export-to-domestic sales transformation, actors from other companies in Hong Kong will obviously be a level lower.

This will be like a snowball, the gap will get bigger and bigger!

but……

The main character is white.

For the supporting roles, we must choose two Chinese.

But Asians are actually a minority in the United States. In order to make the first film of Xinghai Impact in North America not appear too inappropriate, Huang Ze simply changed the beginning.

The original film is about a group of students who are going to France under the guidance of their teacher, and the male protagonist predicts that the plane will explode.

Huang Ze changed the destination directly to Hong Kong Island.

In this way, two more Chinese faces will not seem so conspicuous.

As for who to let play the role.

Ning Jing is not suitable. At his current stage, as long as he can make a movie that has a chance of being released in Hollywood, it would be best to stick to the path of being an action star.

Zhou Huimin?
It's not quite suitable. He has already been scheduled to play a supporting role in "Speed" and he also has to release a new song. It would be a waste of time if he is too busy by then.

The key is to treat everyone equally and not be too partial.

Don't let others think that they have to have something super friendly with you in order to be praised after entering the star sea.

I am definitely not that kind of person!

Huang Ze thought for a while and called Liang Shuyi from ATV, "Has the filming of Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils been completed?"

"It will take another month."

"What about The Legend of White Snake?"

"This has been filmed and is scheduled to be released in a week."

"Okay, I got it." Huang Ze hung up the phone.

Since Cheng Hong will be free in more than a month, then it will be hers.

In this way, you come this month and she comes next month, and it won’t be too lively or too lonely.

And they are all in the United States, so it will be relatively safe.

There’s nothing we can do. There are just too many paparazzi in Hong Kong.

And there are many paparazzi who like to stare at me.

"Although many people give me face, it's still troublesome if I meet someone who doesn't. I can't just send him to the bottom of the Pacific Ocean."

In other words, knowing that the newspaper will get worse year by year, it is a bit of a loss to buy it.

"Damn it, when I have too much money to spend, I will definitely buy up all the miscellaneous newspapers in Hong Kong Island and let me be the only one holding the shares. Wouldn't that be great?"

"Then I'll see who dares to write gossip about Master Huang!"
