British 1986

"Master, shall we go home?"

Shitou glanced at the young master, who had been resting against the seat with his eyes closed since he got in the car, and asked in a low voice.

"Go back, drive slower on the road, I'll take a rest."

Allen was a little tired, mainly because he felt noisy.

He has a little influence now, but this seems to be a little different from the influence he imagined.

Then I remembered the unreleased version B video tape in my hand.

This thing will not be released in theaters. The plan at the time was to wait for version A of the movie to be released before version B would be released in the United States.

Even the background Allen has arranged.

Old Carl registered a small film and television company in the United States.

The name is look.

It just means looking.

At that time, the B version of the video tape and the box cover will use a poster that is very similar to the poster of the A version of the movie.

Even the title of the movie is the same, just adding a small look before the video.

They followed the route of copycat imitation, and then returned to Great Britain from the United States.

Even if it becomes popular by then, you can still scold the shameless Americans for remaking his movie.

He wanted to make money, build a memorial arch, and find a scapegoat.

In the future, this company can even be used to attack competitors.

For example, if a company shoots a Superman or something.

Then he can completely direct the small crew to make an adult version of Superman with a similar plot, which will not only capitalize on their popularity, but also make money, and ultimately discredit their IP.

This is a disgusting way to make money.

And no matter it is any video, add a small look in front.

This thing is like a word game.

If the other party's film is called "Superman", then his real name is "Watching Superman". Calling it this way will not constitute infringement, but as long as the look is small enough, most people will mistakenly think that this is Superman!

The reason why version B has not been released and sold until now is because of Allen's intention.

It’s impossible for version A to be released here only half a month ago, while version B over there has already been filmed and produced, right?

The connection is so fast, and it seems fishy at first glance. What he wants is to make people feel that this thing is a copycat version made by Americans following the trend.

It has nothing to do with him, Allen!

Allen was also a little irritated after being quarreled by Charles just now. He wanted to watch it. When his B version of the video tape is sold on the market, those male viewers who gave him negative reviews and wrote letters to criticize him would want to watch it or not. look?

After reading this, will they also go to Gambia to find the Black Pearl?

Anyway, we should quarrel as much as we like.

On the contrary, Charles' words to provoke him just now reminded Alan that his next movie was about to be put on the agenda, so he should make plans early and start the preliminary preparation process early.

If we are not allowed to shoot domestic scenes, then we won’t shoot them. We’ll call that old guy Parites tomorrow and ask him to give his advice and advise on where to go next.

"Master! You are back! There is a lot of news accumulated here. I want to report it to you."

Parites arrived at the manor after lunch the next day. After a period of adaptation, Parites ran in both directions.

He still occasionally goes to film school to take a few classes, but much less frequently than before.

The rest of the time was spent traveling between home and the manor. Patrice adapted very quickly to the new life in the Earl's Manor.

"Well, is it the news about the box office?"

It's been half a month. Because of Patrice's previous description, Allen's expectations for the movie box office are not as high as before. Anyway, he can make a little bit.

"Master, I take back what I said before. Your movie is indeed a model of precise market positioning! Targeting a specific audience group and accurately covering it, the box office in the past half month has exceeded my imagination. You see, this is The data for the first week, and the data for the first two days.”

After glancing at the box office data, counting the last digits, and looking at the currency unit, Allen was a little surprised and said: "This data? Isn't it right?"

According to the data, the box office of "Fake" in the first week actually reached 1.7 million pounds.

Using this data as a benchmark, let's look at the box office trend in the next few days. Although there has been a decline, the decline is not significant.

If there are no accidents, that is to say, if calculated based on four weeks of release, this film will most likely earn a box office of four to five million pounds!

Although the film market in the UK is not that big, this box office result can already firmly place it in the top ten at the annual box office!

If calculated based on the final box office of 5 million pounds, deducting the theater chain's share and adding in messy taxes, the share he can get is about 32% to 40%.

In other words, the profit is in the range of £1.5 million to £2 million.

More or less, the difference is only a few hundred thousand pounds at most.

Excluding Allen's film production costs after extremely compressing costs through rewards as a settlement method, the film's box office revenue alone can bring him nearly one million pounds.

Plus the income from the later release of the videotape.

If Allen had been diligent and worked hard for more than ten years, he could have earned several million, or nearly ten million pounds.

If there are no other peripheral projects, just making movies and shooting, I think it will be quite successful.

"Master, recently I have been investigating the reasons for this movie's high box office."

Patrice is very dedicated, and the box office revenue of this movie has exceeded his expectations, but he did not have any resentment or humiliation after being slapped in the face, but turned around and started to study why.

"Oh? Tell me."

"Tsk, I did a small-scale survey and found that most people who have watched this movie gave the most comments, that is, it is novel and a bit curious. These are the two most important points. An unconventional movie like this The theme of the movie is the premise to attract the audience.”

oh.

Allen's mind instantly recalled the traditional British character, sultry, or inwardly coquettish.

They seem to be very serious on the surface, but they are also very curious about this relatively exotic subject.

He said "no"... took a breath and then said "stop".

But, where does this go? He still kept the film while filming, and many of the shots were shot extremely conservatively.

As long as he dares to add more restricted scenes, will the box office be able to reach a higher level?

What if we change to a more exciting subject?

Allen now has some experience and is much more courageous. If he is not allowed to shoot domestic scenes, he will choose more exciting themes from abroad.

He likes this kind of fantasy-oriented movies with relatively low production costs.

The actual investment in this thing is small, so it is convenient for him to disguise the investment amount and launder money.

Although Allen has always dreamed of making some big-budget films, such as special effects films and science fiction films.

But right now, he is still in the stage of accumulating funds. He mainly focuses on making money and is not so pretentious. He doesn't dislike anything. Besides, if you shoot some modern dramas and exciting plots, don't you need actresses?

Allen now regrets not bringing Li Zhi back. He will only regret it when the hole is used!

As angry as he is now. It's when I urgently need to relax and vent, but it's a bit uncomfortable when there's no woman around me.

What does this mean?

This means he still has to work hard!
