Entertainment tycoon since 83

Chapter 363 Worry
In the following time, Huang Ze felt like he was hiding in the small building and being alone, not caring about spring, autumn, winter or summer.

Of course, the main reason is that the companies under his control are worry-free enough.

The film company doesn't need to be managed. Apart from its own and Zhang Jianya's, there is no big investment, so the compensation won't be much.

Television is making a fortune from selling the copyrights of entertainment programmes and is currently engaged in a financial war with TVB, increasing its investment and shooting large scenes in mainland China. It now has an overall audience rating of just over 50% in all time periods.

With "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire", "The Voice" and "Teletubbies" still at their peak, it would be enough to come up with one or two more ace programs in a year or two.

The record company only focuses on one female singer and one group. Mariah Carey's creative ability has already been revealed, so there is no need for her to come out on her own.

Just take care of post-production and life!
By the end of June, the post-production of the film was finally completed.

Huang Ze invited the main actors, Jackie Chan, Will Smith, and his old friend George from Warner to Hong Kong Island to watch the movie together.

"It's finished so soon?" Will Smith was a little surprised when he came to Xinghai Company, his eyes widened, "Didn't we just finish shooting for more than two months?"

"Hahaha, that's because you haven't worked with him enough times!" George was used to this. "After Huang finished writing the script, he already had a complete film in his mind. He had an idea of ​​how it would look and what materials to use. He didn't need to worry about it. More than two months is already a relatively slow time for his post-production."

"I've heard about this too." Jackie Chan responded cheerfully in English.

He had heard the rumors a long time ago.

After finally working with Director Huang, I discovered that it was indeed groundless.

"Oh!" Will Smith looked at Huang Ze with wide eyes, "Director, then I feel that I can collaborate on at least two movies a year. I have plenty of time."

"I don't have time!" Huang Ze smiled, "Besides, my next film is a Chinese-language art film. What do you think you would like to play?"

You can't play a burnt corpse, right?
"Be sure to look for me if you have the chance in the future!"

"That's natural."

Huang Ze made a gesture of pressing his palm down, arranged for everyone to sit down, and started watching the movie.

From the moment he appeared at the beginning, Huang Ze began to daydream.

I almost vomited when I was doing post-production. I really can't muster much interest in it. Maybe I need to take a break for a while.

Will Smith was watching his first starring film, and his eyes were about to pop out of his head with excitement.

George, on the other hand, looked at the film with a critical eye, judging the film in his mind from time to time.

“The pace is not as intense and exciting as Speed.”

“But it has a lot more comedy elements than the previous film.”

"Also, action!"

"Speed" is also an action movie, but it is still Hollywood-style action, while this one is very unique.

Some of the actions were very interesting to George.

"Is this the action comedy he mentioned?" George looked at Huang Ze, then at Jackie Chan, who had a serious face and a bit of worry on his face, and nodded secretly.

I have to say, this actor's action style is quite unique.

Maybe in the future he can make a name for himself in Hollywood like Jet Lee.

Then it is necessary to establish a good relationship. It won't be a big deal anyway. George took the initiative to chat with Jackie Chan.

"Sure, you did a great job!"

"Thank you." Jackie Chan finally smiled from his serious face. "I also felt that the cooperation with Director Huang was very smooth. I believe this film will definitely achieve good results!"

"That's what I thought." George was actually a little nervous. He wondered if a movie starring a yellow man and a black man, which was not common in action movies, could make money. But he didn't want to back out before it was even released, so he nodded confidently, "In my opinion, it can make at least 50 million US dollars!" "I heard from Huang that you are the action director of this movie?"

"And my team." Jackie Chan introduced, "Many of the actors who have action scenes with me are members of my team. We have worked together on many movies!"

"Oh, that's great! You guys are professionals in action scenes..."

The two of them kept chatting until the end of the film, and then they stopped chatting and applauded together.

"Huang, my brother, you have made another excellent work!" After applauding, George hugged Huang Ze, "I believe you will shock the North American audience again!"

"So, when do you guys at Warner Bros. plan to have him go and shock the North American audience?" Huang Ze asked himself, "How about August 20th?"

"With more than a month, nearly two months of promotion time, I think it will be no problem! But I need to go back and report. You are our Warner's key director, just like Universal's Spielberg. I alone cannot make the final decision."

"Of course, everyone will also pay attention to your opinions."

"I plan to release it in Hong Kong Island at this time. It would obviously be better if it can be released at the same time."

"That's right!"

That day, George left with a copy.

After Huang Ze left, Jackie Chan went to Huang Ze's office worriedly.

"What's wrong? Your frown can kill a fly." Huang Ze teased.

"Director Huang, I think you're right. There are risks in our attempt to break the Hong Kong Island record!"

"Look, you're in a hurry again!" Huang Ze poured a glass of water, "Sit down and talk slowly."

"do not you know?"

“That Spielberg.”

"I made a dinosaur movie. Guess how much the North American box office was in its first weekend."

"Fifty million."

"Hmm? You know?"

"I don't know." Huang Ze shook his head. "I can only guess. Obviously, if they can scare you, their first weekend box office must be a record-breaking one. That's obvious."

"The key is that it broke 100 million in less than ten days. I even went to the United States to watch the movie."

"Shocked?" Huang Ze asked.

"The storyline is just average, but it's really shocking." Jackie Chan sighed, "I don't know how he managed to film the dinosaurs."

"Dinosaurs!"

“Has technology advanced to the point where we can see such lifelike dinosaurs on movie screens?”

"I have a feeling that after this movie lands in Hong Kong Island."

"Adults will definitely take their children to watch it, and even the whole family will go to watch it."

"Not to mention young people. For a Hollywood record-breaking movie like this, they have to follow the trend."

"We may not be able to defeat them!"
