Chapter 061: Using Hollywood Fishing
3:00 AM on September 12.
Su Nan was working on a script in the study when she suddenly heard the master bedroom door open.
The noise outside continued for a while. Ah Hong came into the study with a cup of black tea and knocked on the door. After entering, she smiled sweetly and said, "Brother Nan, haven't Zhi and I been very negligent?"
"Even working together, you still can't get a proper night's sleep and rest?"
Ah Hong wanted to complain that Brother Nan must have strange stamina and energy.
Last year, I didn't have much time to rest at home. I would come home after finishing my studies and work on the film crew.
After educating them to be obedient, they can still learn various things on their own, including creating art.
But in 90 and the first half of 91, people in southern Jiangsu slept at least four or five hours a day.
According to Ah Hong's observations over the past few days, Brother Nan probably only gets two or three hours of rest a day.
The rest of the time they're busy, it just depends on whether it's Python or other business.
Ah Hong carried her teacup to the desk, glanced at it, and exclaimed in surprise, "(Dynasty Warriors)? Anime or live-action?"
It's not surprising that Nan Ge is writing a new script; what she's curious about is whether he's going to continue pushing the plot forward.
Su Nan took a sip of tea and smiled, "It's a live-action project script, but the main purpose of this script is to use it as bait to see if we can catch a big fish in Hollywood."
"Fishing Success" is being filmed in both China and the US, with you and Zhizhi playing the lead and second female leads.
This is also the hook that drives the global box office revenue sharing model for Hollywood blockbusters like The Matrix.
Chen Hong, "..."
Ah Hong was still a bit confused, but she quickly sat down and started working on the creation process.
After watching for a while, Ah Hong smiled charmingly again, "You keep writing, I'll cheer Brother Donkey on."
She knows how to be a charming and supportive companion.
Su Nan really wanted to use (Dynasty Warriors) to fish and bait the area.
After he finished writing it, he registered it with the U.S. Copyright Office again, and then sent it to various companies.
What if any group takes a liking to (Dynasty Warriors) and wants to film and produce it?
Besides selling US dollars, they also have to bundle (Kung Fu) with the US's port of call.
Do you think this is wishful thinking? In 1991, there were quite a few Hollywood crime films.
As long as there are superstars involved and the script is good, achieving a big box office is not difficult.
It's somewhat similar to Dynasty Warriors (a cat-and-mouse game), and in 2002 it grossed $1.64 million in the United States and $3.5 million worldwide.
That's the superstar aura of Leonardo DiCaprio and Tom Hanks.
Frank Jr.'s autobiography has also been the basis for bestsellers.
But ultimately, (the cat-and-mouse game) is about the protagonist forging fake checks and escaping the FBI's pursuit time and time again.
Then comes the story of the crime that led to his eventual capture.
What about (Wu Shuang)? In the early 90s, he taught you how to print fake US dollars step by step, and his hardcore counterfeiting skills were so good that they could be mistaken for the real thing.
If it's a Hollywood production, please have a white superstar from the early 90s start filming.
With proper marketing and distribution, there's a real chance that it will gross over one or two hundred million US dollars worldwide, including a run for the Golden Globes and Oscars!
When rumors are flying everywhere, isn't the appeal of teaching you how to print US dollars ten times more powerful than (the Blair Witch Project)?
Not to mention that in this day and age, even criminal gangs can copy Musou's methods and buy gravure printing presses from Eastern Europe.
It's the bible of the printing industry!
In the late 2010s, (Dynasty Warriors) did not perform well at the box office in Europe and America, and there was little talk of adapting or remaking it.
Times have changed!
That era was all about special effects. When the Avengers series dominated the world, the Marvel Cinematic Universe and all sorts of "correctness" were what they were after.
A brilliant crime film that wins over audiences with its compelling story and compelling dramatic performances.
It can only be recognized within a small circle, such as the audience and movie fans who prefer this type of film.
It's only 1991, the year when various CGI special effects were just beginning.
A group of blockbusters have won over audiences with their compelling stories, such as the Home Alone, Ghost, and Die Hard series.
These kinds of movies are the true kings of our time.
Another example is the Hong Kong version of "Infernal Affairs," which became "Infernal Affairs" in the US.
The Departed relies on its story, and the crime narrative, featuring Leonardo DiCaprio and Matt Damon, also cost $1.32 million in the US.
Globally, US$2.92 million is equivalent to nearly HK$23 billion!
Once the script is written and the copyright is registered, a discerning Hollywood producer will take notice of the film.
The Chinese version of the film will be launched together with the American version. The higher the box office of the American version in Europe and America, the better the promotion for the Chinese version.
We should also take the opportunity to invite them to watch (Kung Fu), and promote (Kung Fu) in theaters and on video in the United States.
By bundling them together to negotiate terms, they laid the foundation for a (hacker) revenue-sharing model.
His reason for this idea is mainly because so far, the sale of Kungfu Island to South Korea has been discussed for $80.
New Line Cinema, which Golden Harvest brought in, only offered $50 after watching the English version of Kung Fu Hustle.
Ma wants to buy out the theaters and videotapes for $50!
Who are they trying to embarrass? The original (Kung Fu Hustle) grossed $1700 million in the US, not to mention...
DVD rentals and sales brought in $40 million, and that was after the millennium!
Chinese kung fu films have a large audience in Europe and America.
Hollywood has long since mastered Chinese-language action films since 2004, for example, the fight scenes in (The Matrix).
It can be considered one of the world's top achievements of its time.
Countless action movies starring both white and black actors are top-notch, yet (Kung Fu) still manages to achieve such success.
This was especially true in the early 90s when Hollywood action films were still quite stiff, highlighting the greater potential of kung fu.
Just like Jet Li's kung fu movies on videotape and DVD, they have always been bestsellers in Europe and America!
Using a top-tier cast and crew to create a police thriller, it's expected to rake in one or two hundred million dollars at the box office once it's released.
Su Nan will become a big star in Hollywood.
This kind of fame is a prelude to collaborating with major studios, and then negotiating with China Film Group in the future to pave the way for Hollywood studios to share profits with him.
In 1994, major Hollywood studios wanted to enter the mainland market, but Hollywood only received 13% of the box office revenue.
China Film Group has the ability to make choices and preemptively set rules.
What if you catch a fish, but the other party only wants (unparalleled skill) and not (kung fu)?
That simply means the deal wasn't reached, and the machine won't be turned on unless it's sold.
Just like (Remote Control) (Never Ending), etc., which were snatched away, Su Nan had no interest in directing them.
Even the seemingly impressive academic achievements (eavesdropping on women's thoughts) were all attributed to Sanmao.
If these films continue to produce miracles, Hung Kim-po's repeated failures as a leading actress will lead to a major decline in her career.
They could all turn their lives around and become rich and powerful from their directorial positions.
After finishing the script, I would fly to the United States and take the opportunity to visit some blue screen studios that were in operation to learn from their experience – this has become part of my daily work routine!
……
Time flies, and it's October 30th.
Su Nan and Rosamund Kwan arrived at Skyworth headquarters early in the morning.
When he arrived, he was on the phone talking to someone, and he was greeted by Sister Guan when the company employees greeted him.
As Su Nan approached the president's office, Li Jiaxin came out of the waiting room across the street and greeted him with a smile.
He nodded briefly to indicate that the phone call should continue, and Rosamund Kwan invited Ah Yan into the office together.
Despite the long delay, Li Jiaxin still wanted to sign with Skyworth, offering a 70/30 split between Skyworth and Skyworth.
After Su Nan finished talking to her near the desk, she hung up the phone.
Ah Xin exclaimed in shock, "Brother Nan, are you really that shrewd? You wouldn't sell your script even if someone offered you $20?"
I started working on (Dynasty Warriors) on September 12th and finished it in just over a week. You can get good at this kind of thing by being a master at it.
After registering in Hong Kong, he flew to Hollywood, and Sister Kwan, whose English was passable, accompanied him.
After registering, I applied to various companies and then went to some film crews to learn.
At most, it's just a matter of using US dollars to bribe some assistant directors or stage managers.
So far, 20th Century Fox and Warner Bros. have shown interest in revitalizing the "Dynasty Warriors" franchise.
(Dynasty Warriors) This kind of hardcore script is very appealing.
Because in those years you could literally copy movie assignments and play around with printing!
Su Nan's fishing trip was very successful, but the reason he was so efficient was mainly because he met Nicolas Cage on a film set.
He struck up a conversation with Cage about the script's outline, and the artsy and rebellious Cage was amazed by the script.
Cage was also eager to learn more about how someone could run such a large printing business.
It was thanks to this guy's marketing that Twentieth Century and Warner would pay such high attention.
Since returning to Hong Kong at the beginning of the month, he has received numerous calls from Hollywood.
Sister Guan's English is good, and Li Jiaxin's English is even better. Ah Xin's grades were always quite good in middle school.
