Entertainment tycoon since 83

Chapter 364 Release
"How do you think I should answer?"

Huang Ze spread his hands helplessly, "Congratulations, I guessed right, the record will indeed be broken, but it's not us who break the record?"

"Okay, don't think about it."

Huang Ze smiled, poured a glass of water, and made a gesture of pressing his palm down.

"calm!"

"Eat your meal one bite at a time and walk one step at a time. If you take too big a step, you may tear your crotch."

"Spielberg's films, starting with Jaws in 75 and ET in 82, have all been box office legends."

"The top five North American box office charts, the first and fourth are his films."

"It doesn't matter if we lose against such an opponent."

"The key is the North American box office, the North American box office!"

"It doesn't matter how much the Hong Kong box office does. As long as you can get a good number in North America and make it into Hollywood, that's what matters most!"

"Even if he takes away the Hong Kong Island box office champion, we can take it back."

"But if you fail, how many chances do you think Hollywood audiences will give you?" Even Huang Ze would be greatly affected.

"I know."

“Strive to get more than 50 million US dollars in box office.”

"It's not a struggle!" Huang Ze shook his head. "This is the basic requirement. If the number is higher than this, we can make a profit from the US dollars invested by Warner, and we can make a lot of money. Only then can we achieve a win-win situation with them. After all, North American distribution always requires American companies."

"Moreover, only by exceeding this limit can it be worth publishing globally!"

The remaining copyrights in my hands have a price!

Huang Ze didn't say this to provoke Jackie Chan, just keep it to yourself.

"So, in order to keep this foundation, you will have to work hard with me to promote the film after it is released in late August."

"Be prepared to perform kung fu scene after scene."

Huang Ze smiled meaningfully.

"Don't worry, I don't have much of anything, but I have a lot of energy!" Jackie Chan patted his chest and made the assurance.

"Hahaha."

Huang Ze is 100% convinced that Jackie Chan has a lot of energy.

After all, he was featured in the newspapers as soon as he was born.

Because his mother was pregnant for twelve months, he weighed nearly eleven kilograms when he was born, far exceeding the average weight of seven or eight kilograms for children.

Later developments also proved that his body was extraordinary.

How can an average person shoot action scenes until he is seventy years old with so many injuries?

In his previous life, Li Lianjie was nine years younger than him, and he didn’t have as many injuries on his body as he did. Look at the difference.

……

Huang Ze is highly valued by Warner.

Therefore, Huang Ze’s suggestion to release the film on August 20th was directly adopted, and then the major theater chains in North America were asked to open the film in a total of 2,800 theaters!
To achieve this number during the summer season can be said to be a great effort.

Of course, Huang Ze also knew that this was his impressive record of three consecutive successful films, which gave the theaters confidence, so even if the two leading actors were not famous, the theaters were still willing to believe in Huang Ze!
"What a pity! This kind of trust only happens once."

On the evening of August 19th, Huang Ze walked into the premiere theater, looked at the entrance of the theater, and couldn't help muttering to himself.

"If I fail this time, it will be difficult to get such a high theater line almost unconditionally in the future."

"No, we can't fail!" "The longer this undefeated legend lasts, the better!"

This not only concerns his own directorial career, but also concerns Xinghai Film and Television. The distribution of other films of Xinghai Film and Television in North America was not severely cut, and they were able to obtain conditions almost as good as those of local North American film and television companies. Isn't it because Warner thinks that there is still great value in him?

Huang Ze narrowed his eyes, smiled, and walked in with Jackie Chan and the others.

Sitting in his seat, Huang Ze was quickly surrounded by fans.

In fact, Huang Ze did not release any new song this time.

But how to say it.

I don’t know if it’s because my fame is growing, or if the less I release songs, the more fanatical my fans become.

There are obviously more people asking for my autograph than in previous times.

They didn't just say thank you to each of them, they especially enjoyed communicating with Huang Ze.

"Huang, are you not going to compose songs anymore? Are you worthy of us?"

"Are you going to only make your own movies from now on and not take us, your fans, seriously?"

"If you do anything else, I will call on fans not to watch your movie!"

This sentence hit Huang Ze's point, and Huang Ze had to explain with a smile, "It's not that I don't want to write songs, it's that I want to make a breakthrough and I lack some inspiration."

"But it will be soon. We will definitely release a few new songs this year."

"And I decided to shoot a music video myself."

Huang Ze made a promise, and the fans who came to Huang Ze for his autograph left happily, "This is the singer we like."

"If you dare to lie to us, we will never come to watch your movies again. I have watched all of your previous movies."

"Huang, you shot the MV yourself, so I must watch it several times carefully."

After the lights were turned off, the fans who came to ask for autographs dispersed. Huang Ze heard George's suppressed laughter on his left. "I advised you to release a few songs like before to stimulate the spending power of your fans, but you didn't want to. Didn't expect the fans to protest?"

“This kind of thing requires inspiration!”

"Really?" George expressed his disbelief. "Then can you guarantee that inspiration will come before the end of this year? I have a feeling that you are not short of inspiration."

"You can write it if you can."

"Forget it, I can't even write a nursery rhyme for kindergarten kids." George shook his head, but still said earnestly, "I just think that since it has always been successful, we'd better continue the factors that contributed to the success and don't make any changes."

"If we fail, it will be bad for both you and me."

"Hey, it's too late to talk about this now. Let's watch the movie with the audience."

The beam of light hit the wide screen.

After the opening credits and the company logo, the movie officially begins.

The opening scene is the night view of Victoria Harbour on Hong Kong Island.

The credits are presented in this context.

In the quiet environment, the gradually rapid background music creates a tense atmosphere.

The camera slowly focused on a boat, and Jackie Chan came out and quickly started to fight the criminals on the boat.

"Oh, it's like this again!" A young man in the audience ate a grain of popcorn. "Huang likes to stir up everyone's emotions at the beginning as always, just like in Speed."

"But this movie doesn't look as exciting as Speed. It involves the lives of people in the entire elevator, and scenes like fighting criminals are too common in movies."

“Oh, my god.”
