"Oh!"

The host was shocked, his mouth hanging open, "That scene of jumping off the building, was it a real shot?"

"Of course!" Jackie Chan nodded.

"Special effects nowadays can't be that realistic!" Huang Ze interrupted. "Besides, we are just a medium-sized production, with not even 50 million US dollars, so we can't afford to invest in large-scale special effects."

“Are there any safety facilities?”

"Hahaha!" Huang Ze was amused. He asked, "Guess."

"No matter what, I guess no insurance company will be willing to insure Jack Cheng's films in the future. We have to worry about the actors getting hospitalized during filming," said the host.

“Most of his previous films were not insured.”

"Others don't dare to vote. Every part of my body has been injured."

"Investing in him would give insurance companies a heart attack."

As for the so-called film completion insurance...

This is something that most Hollywood films need to attract investment. With an insurance company, if the film cannot be completed, the insurance company will take over and complete the film.

But this is needed more to attract investment and give investors confidence.

But do you need this?

You can invest on your own! If it weren’t for the need for full support from North American distributors, even investing all of it on your own wouldn’t be a problem.

You can vote or not!

Whether or not I have this insurance is really not a problem for me.

All in all, it can be completed, and after it is completed, it can still make money at the box office!

As Huang Ze, Jackie Chan and Will Smith continued to intensify their promotion, "Rush Hour" was a special type of film, and the audiences found it relatively easy to watch. Word of mouth began to ferment, and the box office maintained a decline rate that was quite good among commercial films.

The next weekend, we earned more than 14 million in three days, a drop of only 40%.

Combined with the first weekend box office and the more than 12 million earned in four weekdays, the box office has officially exceeded 50 million US dollars!
In Huang Ze's opinion, this news is basic operation, which is acceptable. Although it may not be as good as "Speed" in the end, it is still a big surprise.

But in Jackie Chan's view, it is undoubtedly like pie falling from the sky.

He had never had a film that grossed over 10 million in North America before.

Now it has suddenly jumped to the dividing line of $100 million.

How could he not be ecstatic?

Moreover, as long as the North American box office can successfully exceed 100 million, relying on his many years of accumulation in Hong Kong, Taiwan, Southeast Asia, and Japan, he will be able to become a world-renowned movie star!
According to Huang Ze, there may even be a sequel to "Rush Hour".

I wish the sequel could be as successful.

The title of the number one Chinese movie star may be regained!

With a smirk on his lips, Jackie Chan took out his cell phone and wanted to call his godfather, but when he was about to press the dial button, a thought suddenly popped up in his mind.

If I had agreed to Director Huang’s request earlier and worked with him, I might have made it into Hollywood long ago!
What a pity, what a pity!

Shaking his head slightly, he made the call and then forgot all his previous thoughts. He was left with joy. "Breaking 50 million US dollars in ten days!"

"Over 100 million shouldn't be a problem!"

"Godfather, Hollywood, I'm rushing in!"

"The young are to be feared!" The still young figure instantly appeared in the mind of the elderly He Guanchang. He felt that the struggles he and his old friend had gone through in the past and the achievements they have made now are not worth mentioning in front of his talent.

Talented people emerge in every generation!

Nowadays, there are people who can make every movie a big hit in Hollywood.

With emotion, He Guanchang nodded with a smile, "Very good, I knew that one day, you would definitely burst into Hollywood and let the whole world know you!"

"We've finally waited for this day." "Yes, godfather!" Jackie Chan agreed, but he didn't say anything about making a movie together in the future or returning to Hollywood.

He wants to wait and see if Huang Ze has any new projects.

Only after working with Huang Ze did he realize the benefits.

It really smells good!
Golden Harvest does owe me a favor, but there's nothing I can do about it. It's because my movie just became popular in North America, so I have to take advantage of the opportunity to strike while the iron is hot.
And in order to strike while the iron is hot, it is naturally safest to cooperate with Huang Ze.

If not, then make another film for Golden Harvest.

Of course, the best option is definitely for Golden Harvest to cooperate with a Hollywood film producer.

After truly breaking into Hollywood, the idea of ​​becoming famous in Hollywood and leaving his handprints on the Hollywood Walk of Fame had already grown into a towering tree in Jackie Chan's heart.

……

"Director Huang, what's your next film going to be?"

Sitting on the plane returning to Hong Kong Island, Jackie Chan asked with a smile.

"Didn't I say that?"

"It's an art film. Everything is ready. We can start shooting as soon as we get back."

"Why don't we strike while the iron is hot?"

Huang Ze glanced at Jackie Chan.

What we?
That's what you need, right?

Do I need anything else to strike while the iron is hot?

Retracting his gaze, Huang Ze said, "More haste makes waste. I don't have any suitable movies for you at the moment."

"A sequel to Rush Hour might be possible, but it would take at least two or three years for a sequel to happen."

"In the next period of time, you can accept other film contracts if you have any."

For the remaining two film contracts, Huang Ze has to make the best use of his resources.

"What about the next part?" Jackie Chan was still a little unwilling, "Boss Huang, do you have a plan? If not, I can wait."

"You may not be able to wait." Huang Ze smiled and shook his head, "Next time I plan to make a musical film, do you think you can act in it?"

"Forget it then." Jackie Chan smiled awkwardly.

"You are impatient." Huang Ze put on his sunglasses and said lightly.

"Don't forget the old saying: you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry."

"You have to be calm."

“When choosing a script, you should choose the best of the best.”

"The most important thing is, don't give up your kung fu comedy just yet."

"Why are most Chinese movie stars who can break into Hollywood kung fu stars? Because they lack this component, or have very little of it. If you really only rely on acting skills, even if your acting skills are top-notch, the other party probably won't give you any good opportunities."

This was the case with Zhou Runfa in his previous life.

He still had Wu Baige's support, but in the end, he still became a supporting actor in Hollywood.

"I understand. They are prejudiced against us. I felt it when I tried to break into Hollywood." Jackie Chan nodded obediently, but he also grasped the key words in Huang Ze's words, "For the time being?"

"Yes!"

"If I have time in the future, I will try to make a feature film with you that doesn't require action, and try my hand at Hollywood."
