You don't understand the happiness of the director

Chapter 24 Entrepreneurship, that's it!
Megan Fox didn't plan to come over to accompany him, and Wang Quan didn't have any expectations. From the moment the movie was finished, they had gone their separate ways, and it didn't matter.

Wang Quan is also a very chic person in China, and will not treat Meghan differently because she is a Hollywood star. They just comforted each other's loneliness during that time.

Megan wanted to confirm the shooting time this time. She still has some personal affairs to be busy in seven days.

"Seven days are enough, then we'll see you tomorrow."

After hanging up the phone, Wang Quan entered the "film and television library" and began to search for a needle in a haystack to find entrepreneurial works suitable for the dragon's rise.

The film and television library can be filtered by keywords. He selected "horror" in the column of genre, "higher than 1000 million" in the column of North American box office, "higher than [-] million" in the column of global box office, and "lower than [-] million" in the column of cost at [-] million".

As a result, there were not many films screened out, and many of them did not meet his requirements. He hoped that this film had its own gimmicks, that is, after the film came out, fans would actively search for it, go to the cinema, or even Actively help spread the word.

In order to expand the screening target, Wang Quan constantly adjusts the options. If the cost is less than 1000 million, it cannot be changed, so let’s lower the box office requirements. It doesn’t have to be horror, but suspense is fine.

Now there are more movies to choose from, and several royalties think it is reliable, but after clicking in and watching it, they can only shake their heads.

After watching six or seven movies in succession, Wang Quan found another subject that moved his heart, and immediately clicked to play it.

After the movie ended, Wang Quan let out a long breath, "I finally waited for you, luckily I didn't give up~"

The cost is 900 million knives, the cast is about equal to amateurs, the North American box office is 0.6 million, and the global box office is 1.6 million. The key theme is very interesting.

Wang Quan feels that the cost can no longer be reduced. Although he can reduce the shooting of some invalid shots, he hopes to make the props and scenes more refined, and the cast is slightly stronger. Maybe the cost will increase in the end.

This movie has a special theme. If it is marketed properly, it will definitely cost more than [-] million dollars worldwide. It is very suitable as a movie to test the distribution channels in North America.

Wang Quan was so excited that he immediately played the movie repeatedly in the video library to see if there was room for improvement in the script.

After watching it three times, the biggest problem King Quan found turned out to be the issue of race.

There are six main characters in the movie, two are black, three are white, and one is of Indian descent. Among them, the black girl of the first protagonist is mixed with a little white, so what about Asians?

Although India is also in Asia, Asians abroad usually refer to Asian yellow people outside India, and sometimes, Chinese can represent Asians to a certain extent.

So even for the sake of racial diversity and to attract more audiences into the cinema, Wang Quan believes that there should be an Asian face in the protagonist group.

In the original version, the female number one is a black female student, the male number one is a young white maintenance worker, and there are also black stockbrokers, white truck driver uncles, white female special forces soldiers, and Indian schoolmasters. If you change your face with an Asian face, you should Which role should he replace?
Originally, this night was intended to recharge for tomorrow's filming, but tonight Wang Quan re-wrote the script while repeatedly reviewing the movie, and had to check a lot of information.

Unlike the basic copy of "The Basement" before, I am afraid that I will have to make a lot of changes this time.

Burn it, brain cells!
That night, apart from Wang Quan who didn't sleep, there was another man who couldn't sleep all night.

Bryce Dallas Howard's fiance, model and actor Seth Gable

Early the next morning, Dorothy came to the apartment with soy milk, fried dough sticks and steamed buns, "Director Wang, I've had breakfast, I'll leave after eating."

Looking at the breakfast, Wang Quan, who had been up all night, even thought he was still in the country, and reacted, oh, this product was bought in China Town.

"You didn't sleep well last night? Could it be that Megan came to look for you? Is it Bryce's last madness before marriage?!" Looking at the bewildered man, Dorothy looked gossip.

After replenishing his energy, Wang Quan became excited again, "I'm writing a script, and I already have a mature idea, please analyze it for me."

"Say it!" Dorothy was more excited than King Quan, my big baby, I knew you would be soon!
Wang Quan narrowed his eyes, "Boss Tao, do you know the escape room game?"

Dorothy shook her head, "Is it a movie like "Battle Royale"?"

Neon director Kinji Fukasaku's "Battle Royale" can be regarded as creating a new type of adventure movie. Generally speaking, under limited conditions, only one of a group of people can leave alive.

Wang Quan had seen a series of battle royale movies in the film and television library before, which made him very tempted.

Wang Quan thought for a while, "It's a bit similar, but not exactly the same."

After eating the steamed stuffed buns in twos and twos, Wang Quan took out his computer and opened a game software, "This game is called "Crimson Room". I'll play it for you to experience it."

Dorothy immediately sat on the throne's side.

"The player is the first perspective. I am trapped in a locked closed room. If I want to escape, I need to open every door inside to get out. And this process requires In terms of details, reasoning, and the use of props to complete this escape mission, you see, there is a safe here, I will first think about how to open the safe..."

An hour later, Wang Quan opened the door of the first room, but the back room was still locked, requiring his ingenuity to open it.

King Quan pointed to the screen, "That's the mode, from one person to a group of people, they escaped from one room to another, but the number of people kept decreasing, and in the end only one or two were able to leave alive. Of course, the room is definitely not the same as in the game." Ordinary, it can be designed to be very terrible, and if it fails to pass within a certain period of time, it will die."

Dorothy nodded while thinking, "It's kind of interesting, but this kind of game is not very popular, I've never heard of it, and I'm afraid it won't take advantage of it when promoting it."

Wang Quan smiled, "You're right, so we need to artificially create popularity and turn the game of escape room into a game that the public loves."

Dorothy, "Can we have such a great capacity?"

Wang Quan gave her a way of thinking, "Just imagine, if this kind of computer game becomes a real-life secret room game, on weekends, you bring a few or two friends to such a small closed room, and you work together, Use your brain to find clues, is it a sense of accomplishment every time you pass a level, and when you finally successfully walk out of the secret room, friends embrace and celebrate, isn't it very meaningful!"

Dorothy figured it out, but she was even more worried, "So in order to promote our movie, you want me to create an industrial chain of real-life escape room games?"

Wang Quan blinked innocently, "Why, is it difficult?"

Although Wang Quan is not from the future, he knows that there will be a great market for real-life escape rooms in the future. He has seen these from the "video library".

He deliberately searched for related film and television works using "escape room" as the keyword, and there are not many filming this specifically. The low-budget dark horse movie "escape room" that he selected is one, but there are still many future film and television dramas that feature escape rooms. elements, and shows that young people will enjoy playing this game in the future.

For example, he saw a combination of traditional horror house and emerging secret room escape in a 2023 Chinese movie "Keep You Safe".

He expected it well. Real-life escape rooms began to rise in 06. It can be traced back to a group of programmers in Silicon Valley, and then quickly became popular in North America. In 08, the gameplay was introduced to China, and it became popular for many years after that.

When the movie "Escape Room" was released, in fact, the real-life escape room game had already declined, but it still won a global box office of nearly 1.6 million US dollars, and quickly launched a sequel, and then misfired.

Wang Quan continued to talk to Dorothy, "I have contacted my friends in Silicon Valley, and they all said that if someone can bring the escape room game on the computer to reality, they will definitely join in. You know, this group of people The spending power is very strong.”

Dorothy was puzzled, "Since when did you have friends in Silicon Valley, Wang, you have other good friends behind my back?!"
