Entertainment tycoon since 83

“The rhythm at the beginning is okay.”

"But isn't this explosion too small?"

Bob, who came to the premiere with his brother, crossed his arms and shook his head gently, "This doesn't look like Huang's quality!"

"The explosion scenes in Speed ​​are much, much more exciting than this."

"Why are you backsliding?"

"Isn't it common sense that you would have a huge explosion at the beginning?" Harvey glanced at his brother. "And people come to watch Rush Hour to see explosions, right?"

"Yeah, that's what I said." Seeing his brother's serious look, Bob stopped talking.

He knew about the bet between his brother and Huang Ze.

In the past month, I have been struggling with this all the time.

With the release of Rush Hour, things have become more tangled.

This left him speechless.

Hey……

Why worry about it? What you put in your mouth is the real thing.

No matter how much benefit there is in The Lord of the Rings, I can’t even get any of it!

Besides, whether there is such a huge benefit is another matter.

Shaking his head slightly, Bob stopped thinking about it. It wasn't his decision anyway, so he continued watching the movie.

The perspective switches again.

Jackie Chan and Will Smith were in the car, dancing and singing Huang Ze's "Blind Light".

This was accompanied by director Huang Ze's self-boasting through the two actors' mouths.

“Oh, Jerry Huang’s songs are so great!”

“I love Jerry Huang!”

The car stopped and there happened to be two beautiful women next to it. Detective Carter, played by Will Smith, was holding a small dictionary and talking to the other party in Cantonese, which no one could understand.

Then, the conversation between the two people was used to express their current situation.

Detective Carter came to Hong Kong Island for vacation. As a local, Detective Li originally planned to take Carter with him on vacation, but it turned out that Carter was the one who accompanied Li on the investigation.

And since the vacation was finally about to begin, the consulate matter was handed over to Detective Li.

The two protagonists came to a nightclub.

Hu Li, played by Li Bingbing, showed up. The two men chased her outside and had a fight with Hu Li and her men on an unfinished bamboo frame.

Hu Li was not caught in this fight, but it was really enjoyable for the audience.

"Oh, that's what I came here to see. Jack Chen's fighting is really exciting, very different from Jet Lee's."

"There's a fight within the first ten minutes. I love this movie."

"I have to say that the fighting of Chinese actors is much better than that of our Hollywood actors. Compared with them, our actors look like they are doing radio gymnastics."

It was only six or seven minutes later that the audience, who had just calmed down, opened their eyes wide again.

The much-loved fighting scenes are here again.

This time, it was a massage parlor.

Just when Officer Li and Officer Carter defeated everyone and the audience thought they could breathe a sigh of relief, a group of gang members appeared at the door again.

Next, it’s the street fighting scene of Jackie Chan without clothes that Huang Ze cut from “The Spy”.

Watching Jackie Chan blocking his key parts at the critical moment again and again, and fighting with the pursuing gangsters, the cheers from the audience were endless.

And when Jackie Chan quickly transformed himself into a nun with a piece of cloth in just over ten seconds, the cheers reached a climax!

"Oh my god, it's only been 20 minutes? I feel like I can't stop watching this."

"It's so exciting. I felt like I was watching Speed ​​a few years ago. That movie is the same. It makes your heart beat faster from the beginning!"

"It's so beautiful. I hope I can control myself next time. Otherwise, I will be disappointed tonight."

After sighing, one audience member couldn't help but adjust his sitting position and stare at the screen. After that, the fighting was not so intense, but it was still maintained at the level of one fight every ten to twenty minutes.

The two also traveled all the way from Hong Kong Island to the gambling city of Las Vegas.

After a series of exciting fights, justice prevailed.

The gangster boss Tan Ruiqi, played by John Lone, got the same result as in the first film, falling to death.

Just when both of them thought everything was over and the audience also thought everything was over, Hu Li, who had fainted before, appeared holding a bomb that had already started counting down and only had a few seconds left.

The two had no choice but to use their clothes to pull the wire and jumped out of the exploded building and successfully hung in the air.

A wave of waves has risen again.

The wire broke.

The two of them turned into flying men and did a somersault and a half in the air.

Hanging just above the road.

A large truck passed by and the two men narrowly avoided it and landed safely. The next second, another large truck appeared.

After dodging it, there was another one.

Here’s a shot of the roof of the car from above, and this scene is used to switch to the ending.

The two were at the airport and finally left happily.

The original film's running time was just under an hour and 25 minutes, so five minutes of behind-the-scenes footage was added to make up an hour and a half, which seems obvious.

Because Huang Ze added an extra fight scene, there were only two minutes left in the film, so he shortened the behind-the-scenes footage and selected some interesting footage to play in the left half, with the cast and crew on the right.

After an hour and a half, the film officially ended!

There was thunderous applause.

From time to time, there was the sound of whistles from the audience.

"A very commercial film!" Harvey also raised his hand and applauded.

"It's only an hour and a half long, which means that other movies have been shown twice, but this one has been shown three times."

"In the same amount of time, it can bring higher box office revenue to the theater and increase sales of popcorn and Coke."

"Adding a kung fu comedy like this is perfect for the time when Christmas and New Year's Day are approaching."

Harvey smiled.

He felt that he might not have a choice.

Under the temptation of the new film that Huang Ze, Jackie Chan, and Jennifer Connelly were about to collaborate on, he had no choice but to give up the film and television adaptation rights of "The Lord of the Rings".

“I hope I won’t regret it in the future.”

Harvey clapped his hands and looked in Huang Ze's direction.

He felt extremely helpless.

But there is no way.

Based on his understanding of the American film market, "Rush Hour 2" will probably achieve a new box office record for Huang Ze.

It may even have a place in the top three of this year's North American box office list.

Harvey's guess was correct.

The box office of "Rush Hour 2" is very hot!
Because Christmas and New Year's Day are consecutive, the Christmas holiday in the United States will last from the 22nd to January 1th.

Therefore, Rush Hour 2 has been released during the holiday season since its release!

Number 24 grossed $12 million.

Number twenty-five, fourteen million dollars.

Number 26 is over 13 million.

Earn 40 million US dollars in three days!
This data made everyone's eyes light up!
Forty million dollars in three days.

This is likely to be a movie with a box office of 200 million. (End of this chapter)
