In order to put an end to the monopoly of the industry, the film production companies and cinema chains in the United States are completely independent.

The 'exclusivity agreement' that Huaxia can use will not work here, because if you are not careful, you may be prosecuted for suspicion of film monopoly.

But if a movie wants to target another movie, it is not impossible, as long as you can make money for the theater, of course, you can swallow the schedule of the opponent's movie.

However, as soon as Wei Xun opened his mouth, he was about to leave half of the film schedule of "Ghost Baby", which still surprised Simmons.

He stared at the young Chinese man, and then said: "In fact, this is impossible at all, unless the box office of "Chainsaw" can be half more than that of "Ghost Baby". ”

"Then you can start preparing for Saw Horror. ”

Wei Xun stood up with a smile and said: "This is the first time I have come to Hollywood to make a movie, and I will make more in the future, and Emile Cinema is also the first cinema to take the initiative to find me." The first time we work together, we try to work together as much as possible, and then there will be the next cooperation, isn't it?"

This confidence is very surprising.

Simmons shrugged his shoulders and said, "Actually, it's not like I haven't worked with filmmakers in Huaxia, but you and them...... Very different. ”

Those movies brought from China often can't be sold in the United States, so when there are United States theaters cooperating with them, they will be very flattered, let alone mention this amazing request of 'eating other people's films'.

But in today's conversation with Wei Xun, Simmons and Wei Xun have always been equal.

"Because before I came out to meet you, the interactive sessions of "Saw Horror" had already applied for 1,200 and 1,200 were full, what that means, I think you know very well in your heart. Otherwise, how could I have won 15% of the film schedule so easily with you? Of course, 15% is only today, if tomorrow you give me 15% ......."

Wei Xun said this, smiled, and continued: "Sorry, I have to go, Kuchi's scheduling manager is still waiting for me to sign the contract. ”

Kutch?

The fourth largest cinema chain in the United States, with 1,800 theaters.

Simmons was completely shocked this time.

No wonder Wei Xun was so confident when he talked to him, it turned out that the theater chain that connected to "Saw Horror" was not only the Emile Cinema, but also the Kuchi Cinema.

It seems that this Rotten Tomatoes rating index exploded, coupled with the hot marketing of "Chainsaw", which has made this movie a sweet spot in the eyes of theaters.

What's more, the 1,200 interactive sessions, as long as they are opened, will be full, and for the theater chain, it will be a sure win!

8.25, that is, the fourth day of the release of "Ghost Baby" and "Chainsaw".

"Chainsaw" officially entered 2,700 theaters in the country.

And it was only one day after its release, and the major horror forums, as well as the Rotten Tomatoes website, all received praise for this horror movie!

"Saw is definitely the most bloody and violent horror movie I've ever seen. ”

"My girlfriend was scared and cried in the movie theater. ”

"Before, I thought it was marketing that was deceiving people, but after I watched "Saw Horror", I was completely convinced, this director is really talented!"

A really good movie, after the marketing and scheduling have kept up, can completely rely on word-of-mouth to become a hit.

And "Saw Horror" itself also has legendary flashes, such as a 10 million bet, such as an astonishing 14-day shooting cycle, and an investment of less than 500,000 US dollars......

In addition, the early interactive sessions have taken the lead in sprinkling small sparks all over the country, and these small sparks, along with the follow-up celebrity effect and legendary story marketing of "Chainsaw", have turned from sparks into flames, and then completely burned in the land of the United States.

So, "Saw Horror" exploded.

It's still a big explosion!

The film section of the "Los Angeles Times" commented on "Saw Horror": "There was a long queue in the movie theater, and everyone's goal was surprisingly the same, they all bought tickets for "Saw Horror", but there were still many people who couldn't buy them, and such a hard-to-find scene has not been staged in the United States for many years. It's unbelievable that a movie shot by the Chinese people has swept the entire rice country, whether on the Internet or in real life, too many people are discussing this movie, and you will even feel that it is not the end of August, but Halloween in advance, because the whole rice country has been attacked by a wave of horror. ”

The newspaper's assessment is not false.

Because there are only two theaters signed by "Saw Horror", there is indeed a situation where it is difficult to find a ticket.

In just one day, the reputation of this movie was completely detonated, and the horrors of the 'chainsaw massacre' were talked about everywhere on the Internet.

And on Facebook, #电锯惊魂#冲上了热搜第九.

did not rely on Ella's marketing, nor did it rely on the ability to operate, "Chainsaw" relied on the discussion of many fans and made it to the Facebook hot search list.

Two days ago, this movie was still unknown in the United States, but in just a few days, it completely exploded in the United States.

Because of the $10 million gambling contract, plus "Ghost Baby" and "Chainsaw" were released at the same time, when people praise "Chainsaw", it is inevitable that they will compare "Ghost Baby".

"IMHO, compared to Saw Horror, Ghost Baby is really boring. ”

"It's not that "Ghost Baby" is shit, in fact, this film is okay, the average R-rated movie level, but with "Chainsaw", it has been completely compared, with a Rotten Tomatoes score of 7.3, I think Baldwin not only won't get 10 million this time, but may have to recognize his father of 1.3 billion. Oh my God, he's a poor ghost. ”

"If you want to challenge yourself, let's watch "Chainsaw", "Ghost Baby" really doesn't need to watch. ”

Golden Lion Headquarters, General Manager's Office.

Smith-Meyer looked at the comments on the Internet about "Saw Horror" and "Ghost Baby", and only felt that the whole person of Qi had a slightly distorted expression.

Baldwin, on the other side of him, was no better.

I thought I would win the situation, but I didn't expect that in just ten days, "Saw Horror" would completely explode!

A movie with a shooting period of 14 days and an investment of less than 500,000 US dollars exploded "Ghost Baby", thinking of this, Smith-Meyer felt a hot pain in his face.

It is foreseeable that the Golden Lion must have become the laughing stock of many people by now.

The atmosphere in the office was eerie, and neither Baldwin nor Smith Meyer spoke.

Because they're waiting, waiting for the box office of "Saw to come out" on the first day.

"The results are in, Mr. Meyer. ”

At this time, a blonde and blue-eyed white female secretary pushed the door and walked in, and said with an ugly face: "The box office of "Chainsaw" on the first day was 14 million, the attendance rate was 47%, and it was ......"

$14 million at the first-day box office, with a terrifying attendance rate of 47%.

Hearing this terrible statistic, Baldwin got up from his seat in shock and lost his voice, "God, how is this possible. ”

"Damn Baldwin, you'd better shut up now. ”

Smith-Meyer gave Baldwin a vicious look, then asked the female secretary, "And what?"

The female secretary swallowed and spit, and said in a difficult voice: "And our film schedule was robbed of 8% by "Saw Horror". ”

Hearing this, Smith-Meyer was a little unresponsive.

In Hollywood, in the base camp of the Golden Lion, they were robbed of the film schedule by a Chinese director?

It's literally a slap in the face of Smith Meyer!
