Entertainment tycoon since 83

Chapter 320 Touched
Huang Ze called Jackie Chan to his study.

"Wow, this is the first time I've seen your study, Director Huang. It's full of antique charm. Staying in such an environment for a long time can definitely cultivate one's sentiments and improve one's character. I'm going to make my study look like this when I go back!"

"I wonder who Director Huang asked to design this? I hope you can give it up and tell me his name!"

Jackie Chan looked left and right, then casually gave an invisible flattery.

Of course, it was not just flattery, it was also his true feelings. He wanted to build a study room according to Huang Ze's design.

In Hong Kong Island, people pay a lot of attention to fortune-telling and feng shui.

Many people in the film and television industry would seek fortune-telling and change their names to ones that would make them famous. Even wealthy tycoons believed in this. As a person who was 18 years old when polygamy was abolished in Hong Kong, he naturally believed it too.

Mainly because he saw Huang Ze’s achievements, he had to believe it.

He just felt that he had made it all the way from being a martial artist to now earning tens of millions for a film, which was pretty awesome.

But take a look at the other party’s results!

He is six years younger than himself. When the other party made his first movie, he had already firmly established himself as the number one Chinese movie star in East Asia and Southeast Asia, and began to try to make a breakthrough in Hollywood.

Then, I still haven’t gotten in even after trying so hard, and can only stare at him enviously from the door.

But the other party has already succeeded three times in Hollywood, which he had always dreamed of. Three consecutive films have grossed over 100 million! The total cost is only 50 million, and he has become a serious director, the kind that will be treated as a guest of honor in any major studio!

This made him feel it necessary to imitate Huang Ze's study furnishings.

Even if it's just a little bit of luck?

That is also a hope!

He was eager.

At the same time, he knew very well that he had to seize this opportunity to rush into Hollywood.

If he couldn't get in, he would have to follow Li Lianjie and eat dust.

There can only be one Kung Fu superstar in the same era!
If he loses the title of number one, he might not even be able to keep his basic base, and besides, he doesn't want to be number two!
"Do you really want to do this?" Huang Ze sat back in his seat and asked while making a gesture for him to sit down.

"I really want to."

"Wait a minute!" No matter whether it was true or not, Huang Ze was too lazy to say anything more since it had come to this. He opened a drawer, rummaged around for a while, and handed over the business card left by the man.

"Thank you, Director Huang."

"You're welcome." Huang Ze casually handed the script to Jackie Chan, "This is our new film that we are about to shoot. I may need to use your Jackie Chan Stunt Team for action direction."

After all, the Jackie Chan Stunt Team is the one that knows Jackie Chan's action comedy best. When it comes to understanding action comedy, I'm afraid there's no one in the world who can match this team.

Huang Ze didn't want to get involved if it could be done with less worry and effort.

"No problem!" Jackie Chan agreed readily, "I guarantee that no one will be missing."

“Rush Hour?”

Jackie Chan looked down at the script and was immediately delighted.

This name sounds like a sister version of "Speed".

Just looking at the title of the film, it looks like it will be a big hit!
The corners of his mouth trembled slightly, and Jackie Chan looked at Huang Ze with a smile, "Can I see it?"

"Look, you watch yours, I'll do mine, we'll talk after you finish watching!"

Huang Ze nodded, picked up the pen and began to write the script of "Farewell My Concubine".

Although this film doesn't have any big scenes, it relies heavily on the actors' condition. In particular, Huang Ze wants Zhang Guorong to use her original voice, and it might take a year just to learn Peking Opera.

If I start early and prepare for it, it won't conflict with Rush Hour, and it can even connect with it, saving time or too much time. I wrote 2,000 words in two hours, and when I looked up, Jackie Chan, who was pretending to read the script, had just finished the last page and smiled at Huang Ze, "I just finished reading it too."

"In this film, I'm paired with a Heyman actor as the dual protagonists?"

"It may seem like there are two protagonists, but you are still the core, and the storyline mainly follows you." Huang Ze said, "You don't have a deep foundation in Hollywood, and the audience is not familiar with you."

"With Li Lianjie there, some opportunities have been opened up, and the audience has become more familiar with the yellow audience."

"But the yellow protagonists there are not even second-rate, let alone mainstream."

"Let's find a white protagonist. I'm afraid that he will steal the show. Besides, the actions and language will make the audience feel funny. It's better to have a white person."

"In order to ensure the North American box office success of our film, I must use a more cautious approach."

"I understand." Jackie Chan had no objection to this.

Just the word "safe" was enough to leave him speechless.

Safe, but for whom is it safe?
It's still you.

With Huang Ze’s current achievements, even if he fails once or twice, he will still have the opportunity to make a movie in Hollywood.

But he is different. Even if there is a chance in the future, he is afraid that he has lost his ambition.

Three times the limit, this is his third attempt at Hollywood.

Thinking of how thoughtful Huang Ze was, and thinking about the many scenes in the script that really allowed him to give full play to his action comedy skills, he suddenly felt touched, and at the same time, he developed a deep respect for Huang Ze.

There are many directors who can produce excellent works.

But it is rare to find someone with such a diverse style and to be able to write specifically about his action comedies.

Just as Jackie Chan was sighing, Huang Ze took out a stack of storyboard scripts.

Jackie Chan was not shown the rest of the parts, as it would be of no use since they were all shots of action scenes.

"Come, let's discuss this, the actions needed during rush hour."

"You can also use your talents to make it more exciting."

Huang Ze called Jackie Chan to the table and started discussing with him.

After discussing for a few minutes, Jackie Chan was so shocked that he couldn't express it in words.

These action scenes are so choreographed.

Even if he personally took action, it would be just like this!

The key is that Huang Ze also designed his own action comedy style.

Jackie Chan was so impressed that he said, "Director Huang, I'm not trying to flatter you. I think you have the ability to be a top action director. I love these actions so much."

"How can I be a top action director? I am just standing on the shoulders of others!"

"Without all your videos, I wouldn't be able to design a move like this!"

Huang Ze told the truth.

If it weren't for Jackie Chan's "Rush Hour", I really wouldn't have been able to design it.

"No, no, no, that's amazing! Director Huang, shall we continue watching? I'm also interested in the rest of the moves."

While Jackie Chan was studying with Huang Ze, he also performed a few sets of actions according to the storyboard to demonstrate the shooting effect. He kept demonstrating it. If he didn't demonstrate it well once, he would do it again several times. He was very energetic.
