From being on the show with my ex, it started to explode

On the 15th day after "Saw" was officially released in Europe and the United States, the cumulative box office exceeded US$1 million.

This data has become the first cumulative box office among all Chinese-language films released in Europe and the United States.

This number shocked everyone at home and abroad.

Overseas, especially those in Hollywood, the capital tycoons suddenly noticed this sudden explosion of money-making monster as if they had woken up from a dream.

The big guys were sitting in the conference room looking at the rising box office curve of "Saw", and everyone was dumbfounded.

You look at me and I look at you. There is surprise and regret in the eyes, and there is also regret that this movie should have been killed in the cradle.

"Sonic Company is really lucky this time. How did they choose this movie? This Chinese movie doesn't look like a Chinese movie at all. This is completely the way of European and American movies. Yeah. This kind of thrilling and suspenseful atmosphere is full. I heard that the cost of this movie was only 100 million, and it was still not cheap. This is too outrageous!"

"Send this Chinese Song Ci's information to me immediately! How can this person be so powerful? I briefly browsed and found that this person is a singer, a screenwriter, an actor, and even a novelist. Is this really a person? Isn't he schizophrenic? He doesn't work 24 hours a day, right? Could this be a myth created by the Chinese using their unique methods? In fact, behind this Song poem should be A huge team of dozens or hundreds of people, right? Otherwise, I don’t believe that he alone is so talented!”

At this time, the door to the conference room was pushed open, and James Morris, the head of Sonic Company, walked in with a smile on his face. He was immediately surrounded by everyone, and everyone hugged and congratulated him.

"Oh, James, you are really too strong, and your vision is too vicious. To be honest, do you have some kind of deal with this Song Ci? Otherwise, how did you discover such a wonderful movie? "

"James, please tell me honestly, how much did you spend to buy out "Saw", 100 million US dollars or 200 million US dollars?"

"Your company has really made a lot of money this time. It's too much. It's too abominable. It seems that we have to set our sights on Chinese-language movies. People have made great progress now, and we are still Comparing the two if we are still standing still, in the future it will not be our Hollywood movies going to the Chinese film market to collect box office, but others will come to us to collect box office!"

The big guys in the conference room were all whistling at James Morris, and everyone was wondering how much money James Morris spent to buy out "Saw."

In fact, it’s not surprising that everyone thinks so, because it has been almost impossible for Chinese-language films to enter European and American films in the past few decades.

So if they want to distribute it overseas, they basically negotiate a fixed price with overseas distribution companies and sell their works directly to these distribution companies for one to two million US dollars.

As for how much money these issuing companies can make in the end, it all depends on their capabilities.

That's why the Hollywood bosses in the conference room at this moment directly asked James Morris how much he spent to buy out, instead of asking him what the proportion of the share contract he signed was.

Because in everyone's mind, as a Hollywood distribution company, it is impossible to sign a sharing contract with Chinese-language films.

This is simply a matter of self-degradation.

But after everyone asked this question, James Morris showed a slightly hesitant expression on his face. After being silent for a while, he saw everyone showing a sincere expression and slowly said:

"I didn't spend money to buy it out. In fact, I signed a share-sharing contract with Song Ci's company."

At this moment, the entire conference room suddenly erupted with incredible curses.

Everyone thinks that James Morris's brains are too funny, how could he sign a sharing contract with a Chinese-language film.

"What are you talking about? Are you kidding us? We are a noble Hollywood. How can you agree to do this kind of contract signing with the Chinese and lower your status? You don't have the brains to show off!"

"James, I'm going to criticize you this time. You've completely disgraced our Hollywood!"

"When will Chinese films be able to show off their power in our country? This also makes this film completely popular. It is simply our failure!"

James Morris looked at the group of people in the conference room looking aggrieved, and he only had a sneer in his heart.

If their identities were changed, if they were allowed to hold the distribution rights of Saw at this moment, I don’t know how their faces would look like smiles.

He knew this group of cold-blooded capitalists very well.

Seeing the different thoughts in the eyes of this group of people, James Morris made up his mind to build a good relationship with Song Ci during this period.

After everyone has this cooperation on "Saw", if Song Ci has any good film works in the future, the two parties can definitely continue to cooperate, and they can definitely continue to have simultaneous global releases!

After experiencing the "Saw" incident, James Morris has become completely curious about Song Ci's works.

So he took advantage of these few days to read through all the movies and even TV series that Song Ci had written before.

You wouldn’t know it until you see it, but you will be shocked when you see it.

At this moment, Song Ci has become a Hollywood-level first-line screenwriter in his eyes.

So after being polite to everyone present, he quickly left the door of the conference room.

Had another short video conference with Song Ci.

As soon as he was connected and saw Song Ci's handsome face, James Morris's face was immediately filled with a smile like a chrysanthemum:

"Mr. Song Ci, what am I saying? We will definitely make a lot of money this time. At present, the reputation of "Chain Saw" has completely exploded in the beautiful country. With this current momentum, I think the two of us will make a lot of money." A box office of 100 million is unstoppable, and even 300 million can be charged, you just wait and count the money, you are so amazing!"

Song Ci on the other end of the phone was applying a facial mask, and Song Hongdou sat next to him, applying it to him carefully.

Seeing James Morris appearing in the camera, Song Hongdou greeted him friendly and cordially.

Song Ci looked at the other party and said with a smile: "James, it's not me who said that your English words for expressing shocked emotions are too poor and too monotonous. Let me teach you a particularly powerful expression!"

"Come on, come on, teach me."

"niubee..." "Awesome! If this word is translated directly, then it means awesome..."

James Morris, who was on the other end of the phone, was originally learning this word from Song Ci, but when he heard Song Ci translate it directly for him, he suddenly fell silent, and then burst into laughter.

Song Hongdou patted Song Ci, covered her mouth and said with a smile:

"Why don't you teach others good things? You teach me something every day, but you are still a great writer!"

Song Ci hung up the video call, then hugged Song Hongdou, and the two of them stayed together for a while.

At this time, Song Ci's phone rang, and it was Tang Shi calling.

Song Hongdou's expression froze, and she immediately glared at Song Ci, then stood up, sighed, and sat across from Song Ci. Song Ci immediately raised the camera and started another video call with Tang Shi...

Suddenly there was an inexplicable tacit understanding between the three people.

"Saw" continues to be a hit in Europe and the United States.

The related enthusiasm is unstoppable.

It has become the hottest topic in the entire European and American film circles in the past two weeks.

Major entertainment media in Europe and the United States are also rushing to report the existence of this movie.

Hollywood Film News: "A low-cost masterpiece from the Chinese people has completely detonated our movie this year... It can be said that this is not an unpopular movie period in the schedule. No one expected such a low-cost movie The work can actually explode like this! What is the charm of this movie? Is there anything about it that attracts our audience?"

Film and television review: "A tentative breakthrough from Chinese-language films! In fact, many Chinese-language films have tried to enter our market, but it turns out that their films are not in line with the taste of our audiences, so that they have been They all came back defeated.

"But this time it's different. It comes from a work by the most popular Song Ci in China. He used a European and American perspective and European and American tastes to make a movie. Although it is a Chinese movie, it is actually a European and American movie. "Saw". This movie completely conquered the audiences in our beautiful country and created a storm in the entire European and American continents!"

European Times: "Why is the entertainment power of the Chinese people becoming more and more powerful nowadays? Whether it is their games or their movies and TV series, they have demonstrated their ability to harvest the world!

"And what are our Hollywood movies doing? They are standing still! They are still making their superhero movies. They have no plot content except special effects, and they can't offer anything except popcorn. If this continues, our film industry will also Being conquered by the powerful power of Chinese-language films is something that all of us in the Hollywood industry need to reflect on!"

The huge explosion of "Saw" in the European and American film markets not only shocked European and American filmmakers, but also completely stunned domestic filmmakers.

Before "Saw" went overseas, the highest-grossing overseas box-office movie ever made by China Entertainment only amounted to US$6000 million.

And this is also the best result among all movies in the past few decades.

But in Saw, all records are no longer records.

So far, "Saw" has grossed US$2.5 million at the overseas box office.

If you include the domestic box office that has exceeded 60 billion, "Saw" may even become Song Ci's second movie to exceed 2 billion at the box office if it continues at this rate.

Song Ci's first film that exceeded 1 billion is I'm Not the God of Medicine.

But this drama was only released domestically and to a small extent overseas, but the box office was negligible.

This time, "Saw"'s overseas box office share has been greatly increased.

Such a gratifying momentum made the entire domestic entertainment audience shocked and amazed.

In recent years, with the rise of Song Ci, the power of domestic entertainment has penetrated more and more abroad, which made domestic audiences unable to help but cheer and applaud.

When faced with the overseas release of "Saw" before, there were actually quite a few Weibo influencers on social media, but none of them were optimistic about it.

It’s not that we are not optimistic about the Song Ci movie itself, but we are not optimistic about the overseas audiences of Chinese-language movies.

But this time, Song Ci's "Saw" slapped everyone in the face with its strength.

Weibo Big V Movie Box Office posted:

"I never thought about the fact that "Saw" became a big hit overseas! It's so unexpected. Although everyone said that Song Ci's "Saw" is not like a Chinese movie, it is more like It is a Hollywood-style thriller and suspense film, but its success is beyond everyone’s expectations! I read overseas reports and found that Sonic Company’s promotional expenses for this film exceeded 5000 million US dollars. Damn it, it’s obvious that they are very confident in Song Ci’s film!”

Weibo big v I love watching movies said:

"At present, it is certain that the overseas box office of "Saw" has exceeded 3 million U.S. dollars! If you deduct its 5000 million publicity cost and the cost of theaters, Sonic Company will The movie Song Ci can at least prove an income of more than 5000 million, and the specific value depends on the share contract he signed with Song Ci!"

The big V on Weibo who loves suspense movies posted on Weibo:

"Judging from the current situation, our domestic filmmakers should look to Song Ci! With a mere cost of 100 million, Song Ci actually leveraged the box office of hundreds of millions of dollars in foreign countries! This is harvesting the world! I think this is what What a mature filmmaker should do is not to rely on the single box office supported by the 34 billion people in our country to build a business behind closed doors and be complacent! Our goal should be the stars and the sea, and we should look at the entire film market across the entire earth, especially Europe and the United States. !”

The audience was of course extremely excited about this.

"Over the years, China has become the second largest box office in the world, but Europe and the United States are still the unshakable number one blockbuster box office, and "Saw" was actually able to earn nearly 2 million in the number one box office. , which is enough to show the strength of Song Ci Company!"

"Actually, the success of "Saw" is both accidental and inevitable. Of course, the accident is that such a "Saw" was released after so many years, and the necessity must be before Song Ci was filming "Saw". In fact, he has accumulated a lot of experience in film and television dramas. You think of such an outstanding talent, how could he fail to succeed!"

All of a sudden, words of praise about "Saw" were flying in the sky, drowning everyone.

The word "Saw" suddenly became a carnival for Chinese-language movies, like a fig leaf for Chinese-language movies, letting everyone see that the future of Chinese-language movies is not bright. (End of chapter)
