Entertainment tycoon since 83

Chapter 453
To be honest, after this shoot, even though he helped the actors grasp their roles from time to time every night, Huang Ze still felt that he still had a lot of energy.

After all, most of the scenes just focus on the little boy, Jackie Chan and Sophie Marceau.

It's not like "Rush Hour", where you have to worry about this and that, whether there will be danger, and how to shoot the big scenes.

You are already successful, do you still need to work so hard?
钱不缺。

There is no shortage of names.

Forget it, let’s just make another “The Matrix” and then find some simple and easy-to-make movies to guarantee word of mouth and box office.

Big scene...

We’ll wait until we’ve rested enough and want to take pictures.

If you don’t want to shoot, then forget it.

We always have to give other newcomers a chance to shine.

Just provide the creative ideas and let others execute them. It saves time and effort, and you can also gain a lot of fame without losing out on either.

Yes, it is like that!

After all, he is a wealthy man.

A wealthy person should act like a wealthy person.

You travel around the world every day, but what's the point of talking about making movies instead of business cooperation?

“That’s it!”

Jackie Chan walked towards Huang Ze with a smile, and did two chest expansion exercises, "I feel like I'm almost rusty."

"Isn't it good to make a film like this? Just treat it as a vacation."

"Hahaha." Jackie Chan laughed, "This kind of movie is quite interesting."

"To be honest, if I hadn't been unable to sell the overseas copyrights for other films, I wouldn't have wanted to work so hard, but wouldn't I have met you, Director Huang, earlier?"

"Hey, Director Huang, how much do you think this movie will earn in North America?"

"Why haven't you taken the two hundred million yet?" Huang Ze stretched out his index and middle fingers and shook them.

Anyway, we just finished filming, so it’s only right that we give everyone some confidence.

Besides, it’s not necessarily impossible to get the two hundred million!
The cast of this film, plus the director Huang Ze, is quite impressive.

The only difference may be that there is some gap in box office appeal between Jackie Chan and Bruce Willis in North America.

But Jackie Chan is also very popular now. Rush Hour 2 was a big hit, so his performance may not be much different.

Taking various factors into consideration, Huang Ze felt that he still had at least a 60% chance of winning with 200 million.

But to Jackie Chan, this word was enough to make him ecstatic.

"Can you really get it that high?"

"do not get excited!"

Huang Ze patted Jackie Chan's arm and said, "Just be mentally prepared."

"Also, don't take any Hollywood movies before this one is released."

"Of course, if you want to shoot your original Chinese action film in Hong Kong Island, that's fine, but it's best not to release it in North America first."

"We'll wait until our movie The Sixth Sense is released."

"If this film can really achieve the expected box office, your salary will reach the level of the 20 million box office club, and it will be several million. That's a foregone conclusion."

"I understand, Director Huang!" Jackie Chan nodded.

"Well, there's one more thing. You have to spare at least ten days after the release."

After chatting with Jackie Chan, Huang Ze supervised everyone to pack up everything, watched them put the film away, and then went to attend the wrap-up party.

After the routine wrap party, Huang Ze did not return to Hong Kong Island, but directly started the post-production of "The Sixth Sense" in Los Angeles.

This is to facilitate situations such as reshoots.

And when it comes to dubbing and the like, it's obvious that there are more professionals here.

……

More than two months later.

It was just the beginning of September, and although Huang Ze was not too tired, running back and forth between Los Angeles and Hong Kong Island frequently, and also being responsible for the investment of "The Lord of the Rings", "The Sixth Sense" was completed.

On the second day after the film was completed, Huang Ze called Fat Harvey to the audio-visual room.

"Huang, I have been waiting for this day for a long time."

Harvey came over and immediately laughed and gave Huang Ze a bear hug, wishing he could rub Huang Ze into his fat. Uh, it's just that the smell is too strong.

Fat people sweat a little more than ordinary people.

A fat white guy.

Plus the strong smell of perfume on her body.

Huang Ze almost thought he was attacked by a biochemical agent, and immediately pushed him away with a smile, "We have been friends for more than ten years, is this necessary?"

"Watch the movie directly?"

"Watch a movie!"

Harvey and his brother Bob gestured for permission.

After everyone sat down, they were too lazy to exchange pleasantries. Huang Ze waved his hand, and someone turned off the lights, and the film began to play.

The film begins with Malcolm, a child psychologist played by Jackie Chan, and his wife at home, happily looking at the honorary certificate.

Then, there is a romantic candlelight dinner.

Only when he and his wife entered the bedroom did they suddenly discover that there was a big hole in the bedroom window, and all the things placed near the window were smashed to the ground.

The two people realized that something was wrong and found a young man wearing only underwear standing in the bathroom.

He hugged himself, his body slightly curled up, his face full of pain, and his emotions seemed to be on the verge of collapse.

Obviously he wasn't a burglar or a thief.

"Who are you?" asked child psychologist Malcolm.

"Don't you know me? Big hero?"

"You don't even remember your own patients?"

"Inner city clinic, single-parent family, probably suffering from mood disorders."

"I was very scared at the time. You said I couldn't face my parents' divorce."

"You are wrong, you are wrong!"

Malcolm remembered the other person's name and tried to get him to be quiet, but he didn't expect the other person to take out a gun and shoot him in the stomach. After the first shot, he immediately aimed it at his own temple.

The entire screen fell into darkness.

The words "Autumn of the following year" appeared in the middle of the subtitles.

Malcolm, who seemed to be in good condition, sat on the bench and looked at the medical report in his hand.

The camera was focused on the medical records.

Cole Hill.

Parents divorced.

Acute anxiety disorder.

Social isolation.

May suffer from a mood disorder.

As Malcolm looked up, the camera focused on a little boy with a gentle appearance.

Obviously, he was Cole in the medical records.

Cole ran all the way into the church.

"Haha." Seeing this, Harvey laughed, "If I hadn't read the script, I wouldn't have thought of why the little boy ran to the church the first time."

"Haha, okay, no spoilers!"

……

The cost of this film was not high, and most of the money was spent on a few actors and the director himself.

The length of the film itself is not very high.

One hour and forty minutes can be said to be the most appropriate length for a film.

Before we knew it, the film ended with Malcolm's affectionate confession to his wife.

"Clap, clap!" Harvey clapped the moment the movie ended.

“Excellent film.”

"Based on my many years of experience in the industry, I know that audiences will definitely like your film!"
