383 Signed a contract for 900 cinema screenings!
On Facebook, #艾拉差点死在电影院#引爆了头条热搜 has attracted the attention of a large number of netizens around the world.
All kinds of entertainment newspapers and periodicals here in the United States have also deceived traffic in a similar way, using such terrifying words as headlines.
However, after clicking in, many netizens were speechless and found that Ella's life was not in danger, she was just frightened by a horror movie called "Chainsaw".
"Ella almost died in the movie theater, oh my God, what happened?"
"What's the situation, I remember just now Ella also updated her status on Facebook. ”
"Hell, these unscrupulous media can really make it up, and Ella said she watched a horror movie called Chainsaw and was so scared that she almost died in the movie theater. ”
"This movie seems to be very powerful, Rotten Tomatoes has a score of 9.2, and some viewers on the Internet have recently reflected the video, which seems to be the audience watching this movie, and a woman as bold as Ella is so scared so badly, I also kind of want to see it. ”
The hype of Ella's name, coupled with the surprisingly high Rotten Tomatoes index of "Chainsaw", has made many people have a lot of curiosity about this movie.
And "Chainsaw" gained popularity from Facebook, and when it returned to the American film industry again, it immediately became a sweet spot.
Because everyone was surprised to find that this movie, which cost only a pitiful hundreds of thousands of dollars, can be related to the great director Baldwin, Grammy diva Ella, and Hollywood's best actor Gore Joman.
What's even more noteworthy is that the Rotten Tomatoes index of "Chainsaw" is staggeringly high, and the movie even involves a $10 million bet.
What's even more incredible is that through this 10 million bet, it can be inferred that the filming cycle of "Chainsaw" is only a short dozen days.
Oh, fourteen days to be exact, Ella has a note on Facebook.
And the director and actor of this horror film are all Chinese!
After learning the inside information about "Chainsaw", many reporters related to the film industry in the United States were a little confused.
God, this is incredible.
As a result, when the headlines of the entertainment section broadcast Ella, the film industry in the United States began to completely focus on "Chainsaw" itself.
"A horror movie "Chainsaw", which only has a fourteen-day shooting period and less than half a million US dollars, has a score of 9.2 on Rotten Tomatoes, how did this movie come about?"
"'Saw Horror' director Wei has a $10 million bet with Baldwin's 'Ghost Baby'!"
"Ella, Gore Joman, Charlie and others recommended, and more than a dozen film critics collectively praised, where is the charm of "Chainsaw"?"
The promotion and distribution of the movie is to rely on a good entry point as a gimmick.
Wei Xun and Kang Cheng have no foundation in the United States, and the movies they make are naturally unpopular.
But since Wei Xun forcibly involved a $10 million bet with Baldwin, "Saw Horror" has actually had the qualifications to be hyped by Baldwin.
Now, coupled with the celebrity effect, the super high Rotten Tomatoes index, and various praises, this small-budget movie has finally gained a lot of attention.
After gaining attention, the most intuitive feedback is...... Interactive application emails from all over the country flew like snowflakes into the official email account of "Saw Horror".
And Kang Cheng, Lin Fan and Xiao Xiaoyang, who were in charge of receiving emails, were completely busy.
"Thirty-five in New York...... Los Angeles seventeen, this is, oh, Canadian mail, and even Poland, Russia, ......"
Kang Cheng's excited voice was trembling at the moment, but watching one email after another come in frantically, and the prompt level of 'Ding Ding Ding' in the room was not broken, his face became a little pale: "There are too many, I can't count them at all, how many times is it now?"
Lin Fan said tentatively: "One thousand two?"
Xiao Xiaoyang retorted weakly: "That was the data half an hour ago, and now it is completely messed up." ”
When "Saw Horror" was unpopular before, they felt very sad.
Now that the movie is popular, I didn't expect it to be even more sad.
From morning to night, they had been dealing with the mail, and they still hadn't had time to eat a peaceful meal.
Obviously, "Chainsaw" is completely popular this time, not even in the United States, because Facebook is a world-wide website, and this movie is completely popular all over the world!
"Damn, the computer is stuck in the mail...... As for Wei Xun, I don't seem to have seen him for a day. ”
The crazy emails kept popping in, making the computer completely crash, Kang Cheng restarted the computer in a little anxious, only to realize that he hadn't seen Wei Xun for a day.
"The efficiency of the interactive session is too low, and it is faster to go directly to the theater and release it. Lin Fan said: "Director Wei answered a phone call before, it should be an invitation from a certain theater party, and he went out to talk." ”
Kang Cheng's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said with some excitement: "Doesn't that mean that soon we will be able to see our own movies in theaters all over the country?"
I have to say, this is really handsome.
Lin Fan also said with admiration: "Yes, Wei Dao him...... It's really a bull fork, I thought he was good enough in Huaxia, but I didn't expect to come to the United States and continue to be a cow fork......"
This time, "Chainsaw" can become popular, from the script, shooting, to the post-production publicity, all of which are planned by Wei Xun.
After this set of processes, Kang Cheng and the three of them were completely convinced by Wei Xun.
It can only be said that people who are powerful are wherever they go.
At this moment, Wei Xun didn't know that he was being praised by Kang Cheng and the others, because he received a call from an 'Emil Cinema Company', and Simmons, the scheduling manager of this cinema chain, offered to sign a screening contract with "Chainsaw".
"Emir Cinemas is the seventh-largest cinema company in the United States, with more than 900 cinemas, although this number is not too much, but I think we must be the first cinema chain to get in touch with you. ”
In a café in Hollywood, Simmons looked at Wei Xun with a smile and said, "Because I happened to be in Hollywood recently, and I also watched the "Chainsaw", I have to say, you are a very talented director, it is simply amazing." ”
"Nine hundred theaters?"
Hearing Simmons say this, Wei Xun smiled: "May I ask how many films can "Chainsaw" get?"
Simmons thought for a moment and said, "Well, fifteen percent, if the performance is good, I will definitely continue to add up, please rest assured." ”
900 theaters, 15 percent, this start is already very good.
At least Simmons was speaking with sincerity.
Wei Xun pondered for a moment and asked, "I take the liberty of asking, has your theater released "Ghost Baby"?
Simmons shrugged his shoulders and replied: "There is a release, and twenty-three percent of the film schedule is given, after all, there is no film that can be played in the off-season now." ”
Otherwise, it would not be possible for the current Emile Cinema to give "Chainsaw" so much in one go.
"Okay, I don't have any problems here, you can sign a contract with you at any time. Wei Xun smiled: "But I have a request, if the box office of "Chainsaw" can win the first place in your theater tomorrow, I hope to eat at least half of the film schedule of "Ghost Baby". ”
