Highly recommended: Cultivation chat group Choose the day to remember the king of the eternal night, the great ruler of the holy ruins, the lord of Xueying, the legend of the eternal dragon king James Wen just bought a mansion in Beverly Hills, not far from Horner Manor, and the two of them were on the way, just to take this time to talk.
"James, have you figured out the next plan?" Matthew asked.
"It's basically confirmed." James Wen was in a good mood and said with a smile, "I talked to the people at Warner Bros. Next spring, "Insidious 2" can be released, and "The Conjuring 2" is in preparation, if there is no accident , it can be released next year's Halloween schedule."
Matthew nodded, and before he could continue to ask questions, James Wing explained further, "I think we will focus on the Conjuring and Insidious series for the time being, and use these two series to lay a solid foundation, and then go out to the outside world. Expand and build a broader worldview.”
"I agree." Matthew fully agreed with James Wing.
The horror universe has a good start, it does not mean that it has been successful. If you are too impatient, maybe the next expansion movie will hit the street, which will affect the development of the entire universe. "After pulling more fans, it will expand steadily.
He still remembered the lessons of the Justice League universe, and he really couldn't eat hot tofu in a hurry.
James Wenjin continued, "I also have a plan for a new worldview to expand the film."
Matthew was interested, "Let's talk about it."
Not to mention Matthew, even Margot Robbie, who was sitting in the co-pilot, pricked up his ears.
Before, she had vaguely heard that Matthew was planning a horror movie universe, but she didn't expect it to go so smoothly.
James Wen didn't go around in circles, and said directly, "The first step in expanding the world view is to use the Annabelle doll as the center of the story." He thought for a while, and then said, "In the second part of The Conjuring, I will add a The scary nun character, if that character turns out well, could also be made into a movie on its own."
Matthew agreed, "Yes, you can come up with a plan. As I said, James, you are responsible for the entire universe."
This kind of trust made James Wen nod his head heavily, thinking that when he was working for Lionsgate, there were too many messy restraints from Lionsgate, and he couldn't do anything at all.
After switching to Matthew's side, he got the greatest support and power a director could get. Speaking of which, Steven Spielberg would have no more power than that if he made films for the six major Hollywood companies.
In addition to the treatment, Matthew's salary is absolutely generous, but after two films, he has sufficient funds to buy a million-dollar mansion in Beverly Hills.
As long as you follow Matthew down, it's not too easy to make tens of millions of dollars.
"James, I'll leave the horror universe to you." Matthew's supervision has never been relaxed, but he has great confidence in James Wen's ability, "I believe you can bring a different horror movie to Hollywood."
Of course, if you want to retain talent, salary increases are also inevitable.
The production budget of "The Conjuring 2" has risen from $15 million to $35 million. In fact, the production scale has not expanded. It is still a small production model similar to "The Conjuring". The increased budget is mainly due to James Wen's inevitable increase , and increases for Nicolas Cage and Villa Farmiga.
The world is very real, a series of successively successful films, no one can make the main creators always get paid for the first film.
Business investment, if you don't pay, where will the return come from? Matthew Horner is not the only one who likes money in Hollywood, but all!
No matter how literary and artistic artists are, they also have their own material and spiritual pursuits. In today's world, these need money to be realized.
The Mercedes-Benz commercial vehicle entered Beverly Hills and quickly stopped in front of the mansion that James Wen had recently purchased.
James Wen got out of the car and invited, "I'll have a party at home in a few days, Matthew, do you have time?"
Of course, Matthew would not refuse, and said, "Call me directly after confirming the specific time."
James Wing looked at the co-pilot again, and also invited, "Miss Robbie, you are also welcome to be a guest then."
Margot Robbie nodded, "It's an honor."
Waving to the two people in the car and watching the Mercedes-Benz commercial car start and drive away, James Wen turned and walked towards the door. It is not yet time to relax, and there is a lot of work waiting for him.
But he doesn't feel tired or troublesome, instead he is in high spirits. These are the film careers he loves the most.
"The Conjuring has very good reviews on social media."
On the driving car, Margot Robbie turned around and said to Matthew, "I read three websites and dozens of reviews, some from fans, some from the media, and some from film critics, and I didn't see any difference. review."
Matthew smiled, "This is our marketing promotion." After that, he added, "This movie is not bad. It is definitely one of the best horror movies in recent years."
He was also flipping through his phone, looking at comments from non-promotional marketing media, of course.
Among them, a famous movie fan's message on Twitter can be said to hit the nail on the head.
"The great thing about "The Conjuring" is that it does not follow the deliberate sound effects that horror movies are used to creating, but through ingenious layout concepts, the horror can be brewed with the progress of the plot. James Wen, the director, is here in this In the haunted story of the wild house, which has been used in many classic horror movies, with its solid directing skills, the excellent rhythm control can be said to mobilize the audience's emotions freely, and the blank rendering technique creates a better strange atmosphere than the visual impact. , and with the ending, the horror film based on true events truly shudders."
Another very highly retweeted tweet also mentioned him.
"The Conjuring is a very good-looking film, and no one can deny James Wen's directing skills in horror films, but there is one person who needs to pay attention. Both "The Conjuring" and "The Conjuring" came from Matthew's investment. Matthew's knowledge and responsibility and sufficient new appointments have given James Wing a stage to fully display his talents."
Matthew suddenly thought of Harvey Weinstein. In the process of James Wen's transfer to his studio, Harvey Weinstein seemed to help him. If there was no house arrest of James Wen on Oscar night, I am afraid that James - Wen will not be wholeheartedly devoted to the filming and production of the horror universe.
In other words, Harvey Weinstein still helped him with a second assist.
Unfortunately, this fat Jewish man is about to face the most difficult test in his life.
Even his Jewish identity would not play a big role in the face of the tide of social development.
Jewish descent is helpful in Hollywood development, but not a death-defying gold medal.
"Is it a movie universe like Marvel?" Margot Robbie asked curiously.
Matthew nodded lightly, "Our goal is to build a complete horror world."
Margot Robbie understood, "You're going to keep making this series of horror movies."
Matthew couldn't help laughing, "Horror movies are most likely to be small and big."
Horror movies have become relatively common in the North American market. At present, various Hollywood companies are keen to invest in low-cost thriller movies. Low risk and high return are the primary reasons.
As we all know, low-cost horror films are relatively easy to make profits due to low cost, good storytelling, and adequate marketing, and even create amazing box office returns.
Of course, as a relatively small category among many Hollywood films, the market for horror films is limited after all. For example, "The Conjuring" and "Hidden" are rated as "r" rated films in North America, which belong to audiences under the age of 17 who need parents. Accompanying can only watch, which limits the audience of the film.
And Hollywood's low-cost thrillers are still not the main force for overseas distribution, and overseas markets still rely on large-scale commercial films.
The main field of Hollywood horror films is in North America.
However, the success of horror films is very contingent, and there are only a handful of films that can get a high return on investment like "The Hidden"~www.readwn.com~ Matthew has done a market research before, and the overall investment in horror films is The rate of return is 67%, far less than that of first-tier commercial productions.
Horror movies are low-cost, targeted, and profitable, but large and medium-sized studios prefer big productions because big productions can ensure they have enough cash flow.
Matthew's studio strength is much worse than that of the six major companies, and the pursuit of low cost and high return is the kingly way.
In fact, he was taking advantage of it.
Hollywood is increasingly pursuing globalization, and it is inevitable to "ignore" the traditional North American market. Large-scale production plants are making global commercial films, so it will use domestic and overseas market conditions as the basis for its risk assessment. Here In this case, the film company will be more inclined to do the sequel and remake of the movie, which is relatively safe.
However, low-cost horror films are aimed at the local market and can better accommodate the wishes of North American audiences. This also determines that this type of film can be used as a new stimulus and is welcomed by North American audiences.
Unlike North America, horror movies on the other side of the Pacific Ocean are the fun of countless people complaining.
Over there, horror movies are the most censored genre of all movies, which fundamentally cuts off the possibility of many good horror movies being born.
Once a very ordinary movie audience, Matthew believes that the market there is no less than North America's demand for horror movies.
Unfortunately, home-made horror films are inherently insufficient, and foreign horror films are extremely difficult to enter.
Fortunately, there are pirated copies everywhere on the Internet, which can be considered to meet the needs of the vast number of horror movie-loving audiences.
The North American horror film market has a certain breadth, but it is also small. "The Conjuring" fully proves this. On the first day of its release, this film won 16.95 million US dollars, easily crossing the cost line. 2k novel reading network
