Chapter 385 Horror Movie Sweeping America

In order to put an end to industry monopoly, film production companies and theaters in the United States are completely independent.

The 'exclusive agreement' that Huaxia can use is not feasible here, because if you are not careful, you may be sued for monopolizing film arrangements.

But if a movie wants to target another movie, there is no way. As long as you can make money for the theater, of course you can swallow the schedule of the opponent's movie.

However, Wei Xun was going to leave half of the filming of "Ghost Baby" as soon as he opened his mouth, which still surprised Simmons.

He stared at the young Chinese man, and said, "Actually, it's impossible, unless the box office of "Saw" can be half as much as that of "Ghost Baby."

"Then you can start preparing to add films to "Chain Saw"."

Wei Xun stood up with a smile, and said: "This is the first time I have come to Hollywood to make movies, and I will make more in the future. The Amir Cinemas is also the first theater that actively approached me. The first cooperation, we Only by working together as happily as possible can we have the next cooperation, isn’t it?”

This confidence is very surprising.

Simmons shrugged his shoulders and said, "Actually, it's not that I haven't worked with Chinese filmmakers, but you are...very different from them."

Those movies brought from China are often not sold in the United States, so when the American theaters cooperate with them, they will be very flattered, and they will not make such an astonishing request of "eating other people's films".

But in this conversation with Wei Xun today, Simmons and Wei Xun have always been equal.

"Because before I came out to see you, the number of interactive sessions of "Chain Saw" has already applied for 1200, and 1200 are full. I think you know what it means. Otherwise, how could I be so easy with you 15% of the film? Of course, 15% is only for today, if you give me 15% tomorrow..."

When Wei Xun said this, he smiled and continued: "Sorry, I have to go, Couch's filming manager is still waiting for me to sign the contract."

Couch?

The fourth largest theater chain in the United States, with 1800 theaters.

Simmons was completely shocked this time.

No wonder Wei Xun was so confident when he talked with him. It turned out that not only the Amir Cinemas but also the Kutch Cinemas were connected to "Chain Saw".

It seems that this time the rating index of Rotten Tomatoes has exploded, coupled with the hot marketing of "Saw", this movie has become a favorite in the eyes of theaters.

What's more, as long as the [-] interactive shows are opened, the venue will be full. For the theater chain, it is guaranteed to make money!

8.25th, which is the fourth day of the release of "Ghost Baby" and "Chain Saw".

"Chain Saw" officially entered 2700 theaters across the United States.

However, it only took a short day to release, and all major horror forums, as well as Rotten Tomatoes, gave this horror movie unanimous praise!

"Saw is definitely the bloodiest and most violent horror movie I've ever seen."

"My girlfriend was scared and cried in the movie theater."

"Before, I thought the marketing was deceiving people, but after watching "Saw", I was completely convinced. This director is really talented!"

A really good movie can become a hit by word of mouth after the marketing and filming have kept up.

Moreover, "Chain Saw" itself has legendary highlights, such as a 1000 million bet, such as an astonishing 50-day shooting cycle, and an investment of less than [-] US dollars...

In addition, the early interactive sessions have taken the lead in sprinkling small sparks all over the United States. These small sparks, accompanied by the follow-up celebrity effect and legendary story marketing of "Chain Saw", have turned from sparks into flames, and then completely in this land of the United States. burn up.

So, "Chain Saw" exploded.

It's still a blast!

The film section of the "Los Angeles Times" commented on "Chain Saw" in this way: "There was a long queue in the movie theater, and everyone's goals were surprisingly the same. They all bought tickets for "Chain Saw." But there are still many people who can't buy it. Such a hard-to-find scene has not been staged in the United States for many years. It is unbelievable that a movie made by Chinese people has swept the entire United States, whether it is on the Internet or in reality. In life, too many people are discussing this movie, and you may even feel that it is not the end of August, but Halloween has come early, because the entire United States has been captured by a wave of horror."

The newspaper's evaluation is not false.

Because there are only two theaters that have signed contracts for "Chain Saw", it is indeed difficult to find a ticket.

In just one day, the word-of-mouth of this movie was completely detonated, and the horror of "Chain Saw Massacre" was talked about everywhere on the Internet.

And on Facebook, #系摄惊惊# rushed to the ninth place in the hot search.

Without relying on Ayla's marketing, nor relying on money-making ability to operate, "Chain Saw" relied on the discussions of many fans, and abruptly killed it on the Facebook hot search list.

Two days ago, this movie was still unknown in the United States, but in just a few days, it was a huge hit in the United States.

Because of the $1000 million bet, and the fact that "Ghost Baby" and "Chain Saw" were released at the same time, when people praise "Chain Saw", it is inevitable to use "Ghost Baby" as a comparison .

"With all due respect, compared to "Saw," "Ghost Boy" is really boring."

"It's not that "Ghost Baby" is shit. In fact, this movie is not bad. It is an average R-rated movie. But with "Chain Saw", it is completely inferior. The Rotten Tomatoes score is 7.3. I think Baldwin will not get 1000 million this time, but he may have to admit his father who is 13 billion. Oh my God, he is really a poor ghost."

"If you want to challenge yourself, you should watch "Chain Saw". There is really no need to watch "Ghost Baby"."

Golden Lion Headquarters, General Manager Office.

Smith-Mayer looked at the comments on "Saw" and "Ghost Baby" on the Internet, only to feel that the expression of the whole person was distorted.

And Baldwin, who was opposite him, was not much better.

I thought the situation was a sure win, but I didn't expect "Chain Saw" to explode in just ten days!
A film with a shooting period of 50 days and an investment of less than [-] U.S. dollars exploded "Ghost Baby". Thinking of this, Smith-Meyer felt a burning pain in his face.

It is foreseeable that the Golden Lion must now become the laughing stock of many people.

The atmosphere in the office was terrifyingly quiet, neither Baldwin nor Smith-Meyer spoke.

Because they are waiting, waiting for the box office of "Saw" to come out on the first day.

"The results are in, Mr. Meyer."

At this moment, a blond-haired, blue-eyed, Caucasian female secretary walked in and said with an ugly face, "The box office of "Saw" was 1400 million on the first day, with an attendance rate of 47%, and..."

The box office on the first day was 1400 million US dollars, and the attendance rate was 47%.

Hearing this horrific data, Baldwin stood up from his seat in shock, and lost his voice: "God, how is this possible."

"Damn Baldwin, you better shut up now."

Smith-Meyer gave Baldwin a nasty look, then asked the secretary, "And what?"

The female secretary swallowed, and said in a difficult voice: "Also, 8% of our schedule was taken away by "Saw."

Hearing this, Smith-Meyer didn't react.

In Hollywood, in the headquarters of the Golden Lion, they were snatched by a Chinese director to arrange the film?
This is simply a direct slap in the face of Smith-Meyer!
