During my years at China Entertainment

Chapter 61 Publicity and Release

"Wei, our great hero, it's really a pleasure to see you again."

As soon as Wei Jin entered the conference room, Friedman came over and gave him a big hug. It seems that the success of "Latent" has made the entire Summit Entertainment fully accept Wei Jin.

"Hey, man, next time you do something like hugging, let a beautiful woman do it for you."

Wei Jin resisted hugging the man and joked:
  "But there is no girl in the company who suits your aesthetics, boss."

The one who spoke was Hunter, the loser of Wei and Jin Dynasties.

"Can't Dangdang Peak Entertainment attract Hollywood girls to join us?"

Wei Jin smiled and joked with several senior officials, and then started talking about business.

"How are you planning this publicity?"

Hearing this, Friedman explained the promotion process. Summit arranged two TV interviews and a premiere. In fact, this type of horror film is not suitable for high-profile promotion.

"Wei, the crew of "The Conjuring" is almost ready. What are your thoughts on the sequels of "Dead Silence" and "Insidious"? When do you plan to release them?"

"Insidious" has achieved great success, and a sequel must be made. Moreover, this type of mature IP is the most favored by Hollywood film companies. Without others, the risk is very small and the profit is considerable.

"I don't plan to direct the sequel myself. After filming "The Conjuring", I have to think about a big production."

Regarding the filming plan for the sequel, Wei Jin has already made plans. This time, Wei Jin plans to direct his last horror film. In his previous life, he liked watching horror movies and has a lot of horror movies in his mind. It is impossible for Wei Jin to do it all by himself. .

"If we have time, let's release a sequel a year, so that the audience can have something fresh."

"Oh? Then do you have a suitable director for the sequel?"

Different directors have different styles, and Friedman was afraid that the new director would screw up the series.

"What do you think of James from the sect?"

"That Chinese horror film director? It's quite suitable, but if this happens, I'm afraid the masters will also ask to participate."

Friedman is reluctant to share projects that are obviously profitable.

"James should be able to take on the film on his own, right? Let's get in touch first. If the studio wants to participate, then come up with a project in exchange."

Wei Jin is not in a hurry. He is not the only one who is good at horror films. He has a well-written script and the director has little autonomy.

"By the way, the company plans to launch "The Rescue" at the end of the year. Do you want to direct it?"

"Forget it, many directors in Hollywood are good at this type of drama. You can make your own decision. By the way, just leave me a role."

The next day, Wei Jin came to the Los Angeles TV station for an interview. The host was a black man who started laughing and joking as soon as he came on the stage. Wei Jin thought he had a sense of humor, but he couldn't get his laugh at all, and the show was very embarrassing for a while.

Seeing that the method of stirring up the atmosphere had no effect, Brother Hei started to get into the topic:
  "Wei, why did you think of making a horror film?"

"You know, I am an Oriental. If I want to knock on the door of Hollywood, I must achieve results, and horror movies are the easiest."

Wei Jin made no secret that Hollywood is very exclusive unless you can bring them benefits.

"But your consecutive movies have been horror movies. Are you only good at this?"

The host's question was a bit tricky. Wei Jin didn't want to be limited by the type of movie.

"No, no, no, in fact, the ideas in my mind are beyond your imagination. You will see my other types of movies in the next year at the latest."

"Then how do you evaluate the upcoming "Dead Silence"? Can it achieve better results than "Insidious"?"

"In fact, in terms of horror alone, I think "Dead Silence" is even better. I sincerely recommend that the faint of heart should not watch it. As for the box office, that can only be left to the audience. However, I believe in my work. "

Wei Jin focuses on the horror of the movie. You must know that curiosity is a normal psychology of many people. The more terrifying you say, the more he wants to watch it.

Hei Ge then discussed many creative ideas with Wei Jin, and finally asked him if he knew his eldest brother Cheng.

This host is a fan of Big Brother! Having never come to North America, I really don’t know how popular my eldest brother is in North America. Wei Jin is already planning to go back and must look for opportunities to get to know his eldest brother.

"'Dead Silence' is about to be released, and the Eastern director bluntly said that it is not for the faint of heart."

As Wei Jin expected, the media quickly used his words as a headline, which really aroused the expectations of many viewers.

On September 9, senior executives from Wei Jin and Summit Entertainment attended the premiere of "Dead Silence".

The scale is not as big as Wei Jin imagined, but there are many people coming. Although Wei Jin is a director, in fact not many people know him. He also enjoys his leisure time, but today there are people who came specifically for him. of.

"Hello, Wei, I'm James, your creativity is really great."

The visitor is none other than Australian Chinese director, James Wan.

"Hello, James. In fact, "Chainsaw" inspired me a lot. You should be able to tell that the style of my movies is somewhat similar to yours."

Wei Jin said nonsense. The film in his mind was originally made by James Wan, and the style was of course similar.

"Yes, I feel the same way, but your creativity is really great, especially "Buried Alive". It's unimaginable to create a terrifying atmosphere in just one coffin."

Wen Ziren spoke highly of "Buried Alive" and praised Wei and Jin's fantastic ideas.

Wei Jin then revealed that he had been in a car accident and expressed that his inspiration came from life.

"By the way, James, what do you think of the cooperation with Summit?"

"Are you really going to leave this project to me that is destined to make a profit? Are you not afraid of screwing it up?"

Wen Ziren was very puzzled that Dingfeng and Wei Jin invited him to do the sequel.

"In fact, I have already written the script for the sequel, but due to time constraints, I am unable to shoot it myself. You know that my career focus has always been in China, and you and I have similar styles. I believe that you will be one of these three The best successor to the series.”

Wei Jin looked sincere. If Wen Ziren could take over, that would be the best.

"Thank you for your recognition. Wait, you said three?"

Wen Ziren looked confused, there were obviously only two movies, where did the third one come from?

"Yes, in a few days, I will be starting my new project and my last horror film for a short time, The Conjuring."

After the three-day box office of "Dead Silence" was released on its first weekend, Wei Jin was about to join the crew for filming, and then gave a brief introduction to "The Conjuring".

"Oh my gosh, the ideas in your mind are so great. Can I visit the set then?"

As soon as Wen Ziren said this, he basically agreed to cooperate.

"Of course, I'm counting on you, the horror master, to give me some advice."

Everyone was carrying the sedan chair. Wei Jin had no intention of taking the title of Master of Terror for himself, so he might as well give it to Wen Ziren.

The two then had another conversation, and soon the staff came to inform them that the movie was about to be screened.
  "Dead Silence" tells the story of a tragedy that occurred in a small village called Ravensfair in North America in the 40s.

A child was killed, and the villagers believed that the murderer was Mary Shaw, a local woman who made a living by performing ventriloquism with a puppet.

The angry villagers captured Mary, cut out her tongue, and burned her in the fire along with her puppets.

From then on, the missing puppet would appear in the village from time to time. Every time it appeared, someone would die, and the dead person would have his tongue cut out.

So there is a legend left in the village: When you see Mary’s puppet Belgium, don’t scream.

As the plot unfolded, all the guests held their breath, and the terrifying atmosphere seemed to overflow the big screen.

It was not until the end of the movie that everyone breathed a sigh of relief. It can be seen that the reminder of "not for the faint of heart" before Wei and Jin Dynasty was really not just a random statement. Many on-site media had already thought of the news headlines.
