From traffic to movie star

Chapter 381 The box office was crushed on the first day?
"Wow, is it really that scary? Could it be hype?"

"But in this video, everyone's expressions don't seem to be pretending, and there is a person in it that I know. I once teamed up with him to watch a screening of a certain horror movie."

"Gor Joman also highly admires this "Chain Saw". We can try to challenge it? Maybe this film is very ordinary, but these people are relatively timid, haha."

"Okay, let me see how to buy tickets. Well, the team needs to apply to determine the number of people. When our people can fill up a theater, we can start. So what are we waiting for? Guys, go to the local forum group Get organized."

It has to be said that if Gore Joman's previous publicity brought the first batch of audiences to the premiere of "Chain Saw", then the real reflection video recorded by these audiences while watching the movie will completely let "Saw" Saw was noticed by many R-rated movie lovers.

Because this batch of feedback from real audiences is more intuitive and convincing than ordinary movie announcements.

On websites such as Facebook, Rotten Tomatoes, and major R-rated horror forums, people began to spontaneously organize and apply to the theaters to watch "Chain Saw".

Although there are not many of these shows, but because the fans organized the application spontaneously, the opening location is not sure, and it is almost all over the United States.

If there were only Wei Xun and four of them, they would not be able to keep busy at all.

Fortunately, the next day, a group of employees of Medal finally arrived.

"According to the number of shows on the form, you divide the tasks that you are responsible for. In fact, you don't need to do too much. You just need to negotiate with the owner of the theater, get the trial screening, and then wait for the movie to be shown. I recorded my movie watching with my mobile phone and sent it to the local forum.”

Outside the hotel in Hollywood, Wei Xun explained to this group of employees with a smile, and said: "Of course, in the next week, you may need to fly all over the country, which will be difficult, but don't worry, when you return to your country, your salary this month will be full. At least three times, if you want to get more on the basis of three times, then go to a few more movie theaters."

Traveling on business is definitely a lot harder than sitting in an office.

But hard work pays off.

Hearing Wei Xun's words, the dozens of employees who came from the medals were all happy, and the salary was guaranteed to be three times the minimum. Even if the business trip was a little tiring, it was worth it.

After Wei Xun arranged the work of all the employees, Zou Min called.

"These are basically the youngest and elite employees currently recruited by the production department. They are not only proficient in foreign languages, but also have strong personal handling skills." On the phone, Zou Min said: "Mr. Wei, if they are not enough for you , I can go there anytime."

"enough."

Wei Xun also smiled and said: "I can go back after waiting for more than a month. I can rest assured that you come to the production department."

So Zou Min also laughed and said, "Okay, then I'll wait for your triumphant return at home."

From the looks of it, no matter what people think of it, Zou Min, Mao Bin, Dong Zhen and other high-ranking members of the Order are full of confidence in Wei Xun's film.

After all, the myth of 100 billion box office was created by Wei Xun with them.

In the next five days, the employees of the medal set off from Los Angeles and rushed to various parts of the United States with the copy tape of "Chain Saw".

And because there are more and more real reaction videos of the audience of "Chain Saw", the film gradually began to have some positive reviews, as well as fanatical diehard fans, who crazily recommended "Chain Saw" in forums and circles of friends.

From the third day onwards, the number of screenings of "Chain Saw" obviously began to increase sharply, and at least nearly a hundred screenings can be scheduled every day.

On the fifth day, this movie, which does not have any celebrity blessings and has a pitifully low production cost, has won more than [-] movie screenings by relying on the method of "interactive sessions".

But unfortunately, [-] games seems to be a lot, but compared to the entire US market, it is still a drop in the bucket.

Especially the fifth day, which is already August 8.22. On this day, Baldwin's "Ghost Baby" officially premiered.

This movie, directed by Baldwin and produced by Golden Lion, won 21% of the movie schedules in the United States. Although it is not a lot, there is also the reason that this time period is a small movie schedule, but for an R-rated movie , This amount of films is already very worthy of celebration.

In particular, when "Ghost Baby" won the box office of 900 million US dollars on the first day, both Baldwin and the general manager of the Golden Lion, Smith Meyer, were very satisfied.

"According to estimates, the box office of "Ghost Baby" can exceed 3500 million U.S. dollars in the first week. In the United States, it is not a big problem for the final total box office to exceed 8000 million. If our publicity is stronger, maybe breaking [-] million is not out of the question. possible."

The expression on Smith's face was already full of smiles, and Baldwin was also very pleasing to the eye at the moment. He said with a smile: "In half a month, "Ghost Baby" will be released simultaneously in dozens of countries around the world. The box office can get the same figures as those in the United States, this movie should have a box office of about [-] million U.S. dollars in the end. By the way, how is Wei Xun's movie released?"

As a veteran film giant in Hollywood, Golden Lion has long had its own mature box office estimation system.

Now there are no films competing for the box office in the same period, and it is the off-season of movies. If there is no accident, the final total box office is basically estimated based on the box office on the first day, and there is no problem.

Although the total box office of 3000 million U.S. dollars is not much, but an R-rated horror film like "Ghost Baby" itself only has an investment of [-] million U.S. dollars.

So it's no wonder Smith-Meyer is smiling so happily.

"As far as I know, his "Chain Saw" has only a pitiful 200 or so performances."

Baldwin mocked after hearing the words: "It seems that he also asked Gore Joman to help with publicity, but what's the use, unless "Chain Saw" is played by Gore Joman, otherwise no one will buy it, and I heard Let’s say, the lead actor of “Saw” is from China.”

It's a joke to use a Chinese as the leading role and a Chinese-directed movie to be released in the United States and achieve good results.

Not to mention that "Chain Saw" is still a movie that was crudely produced in more than ten days.

"It seems that you, Baldwin, really had a damn luck this time, and you got 1000 million dollars for nothing, which is really enviable."

Smith-Meyer said with a smile: "Dude, I think you should send this news to Huaxia. In order to avoid Wei Xun's debts, ask their own people to remind you and remind him. After all, this is 1000 million yuan. U.S. dollars are not a small amount.”
