Chapter 967
Rangnick took over "Hurricane Rescue", which can be regarded as allowing Lin Xiao to be liberated.
The sequel to "Home Alone", since it was decided to cooperate with the Dick Group, Lin Xiao saved a lot of things.
On the other hand, Legendary Pictures has been herding sheep for so long, and it's time to start doing something for this company.
Hearing that Lin Xiao was finally going to start letting Legendary Pictures make the film on his own, Nami was also happy.
She is also ambitious, although the mountain of Legendary Pictures is a little smaller, but it does not mean that there is no development potential, through the release of several series of films this time to several Hollywood giants, Legendary Pictures can be regarded as a good start with these companies.
But in addition to these, Legendary Pictures is "Hurricane Rescue" and "Home Alone", but although "Home Alone" is a cooperation with Dick Group, the copyright owner is actually in China. And it's also a collaboration between the team in China and the team in North America.
"Hurricane Rescue" has begun to prepare, but the current legendary pictures are obviously unable to support such a film on its own.
Don't think it's easy to make a movie, of course, it's easier to make a solo movie on a small budget, but the profitability is quite limited.
Legendary Pictures still has a long way to go if it wants to break away from the shell company and become a solo film label.
Although I tried to shoot a few small-budget films experimentally, they were not released in the end, and they were released directly on DVD.
"BOSS, we want to make our own films, we can only start with small-budget films, slowly accumulate experience, with the current situation of our company, we can't even do a low-budget film like "Hurricane Rescue" on our own. Nami said.
"Don't worry, of course I know that making a movie is not that easy, and besides, do you think Legendary Pictures has the ability to break the existing giant pattern in Hollywood?" Lin Xiao asked with a smile.
"This is impossible, the pattern of the seven giants of Hollywood film and television has been formed, behind which are all controlled by media groups, plus they almost monopolize the distribution channels around the film-related industries, so it is almost impossible to break it, unless there is turmoil in the media group, or direct acquisition, or revolutionary changes in the film, otherwise, it is impossible. Nami shook her head.
"yes, so, I never thought about it, although Hollywood and the whole world are starting to move towards big productions and big investments, especially in North America. ”
"This is also the reason why Hollywood can be invincible, Hollywood movies have a very complete industrial system, the profit of the box office has been reduced to 20%, and more profits come from the surrounding industrial chain. But this is a system unique to Hollywood, so they dare to invest hundreds of millions to make a film, because they can recoup and earn profits through other channels, although the film is still the core, but it only plays a leading role, from the early years of individual combat to the current cluster operation. ”
But although Hollywood giants almost monopolize most of it, it doesn't mean that there is no room for solo films. Zhang Yan said with a smile.
"Big production requires big channels, but small costs don't need to be so troublesome, and the profit margins are considerable. Nami smiled and nodded.
Moreover, now, although it is the era of monopoly of the seven giants, the rise of the Internet has created an additional channel, making the monopoly of the seven not so complete. ”
"So, BOSS, I had a plan before, maybe we can make a batch of distinctive low-budget films first to train our production team. And with our current partnerships with Universal, DSN, and Dick, there's no need to worry about distribution. Nami said.
"However, we need a direction, we need a pioneering work. Nami looked at Lin Xiao and said.
"I already have a couple of ideas here. Lin Xiao pointed to his head and said.
"The boss himself is a gold medal screenwriter, and your idea must be extraordinary, and it seems that we need to expand the team of writers immediately. Nami said with a smile, although it was a compliment, it was not a compliment, or more than a compliment, because Lin Xiao was indeed a gold medal screenwriter.
......
"Hurricane Rescue" officially started filming, and the sequel to "Home Alone" officially entered the filming stage.
Legendary Pictures is here.
"Let's put it this way, this movie is very interesting, it has a kind of fatalistic flavor, and it is easy to use the ability to predict the end of the event to escape the disaster, but the rules in the dark do not allow this kind of thing to exist, that is, the person who should die, you still can't escape. ”
"Encountering an accident, dying in an accident, the horror of it is that in it, death is invisible, but it is everywhere, it has been watching over you, if you are not careful, you may die, and you don't even have the possibility of defeating it, because you don't even know what it is?"
Therefore, the core of the movie is that no one can escape the pressure and despair of knowing that they will die, but not knowing when they will die. ”
That's right, the film Lin Xiao took out is called "The Grim Reaper is Coming", which is a low-budget horror film, and the difference from the usual horror films is that it is creative.
This kind of low-budget horror film is the magic weapon that many solo movies rely on to survive, because it may not be so strong in theaters, but DVD is very marketable, and if the theater performance is a little stronger, then it may explode.
Of course, there is more than one script that Lin Xiao redeemed from the system.
Of course, Lin Xiao only provides an outline idea, and the specific content will be filled in by the screenwriter team.
"The Grim Reaper" actually doesn't need to be filled with much, the most is collective brainstorming and discussing how to "die".
That's right, it's to take out the characters in "The Grim Reaper is Coming" and kill them hundreds of times.
Finally, it will be determined how to die!
This is also the interesting part of "The Grim Reaper", all kinds of ways to die are not supernatural phenomena, but the death of everyone, although bizarre, but reasonable, in real life, it is also possible.
There are no restrictions, and there is no framework for the way to die, it all depends on the brain.
A screenwriter gave it, kissing under a billboard, and then being stoned to death directly by the falling billboard.
When I went to the bathroom, I was just done, and suddenly I found that there was no paper, and there was no one outside, so I turned over to the other side of the cubicle, and after turning over, I fell into the toilet and drowned.
"Death is Coming" is not a horror movie, and the various characters in it will have a strange way, but it looks like an accidental death.
Even according to Lin Xiao's original idea, there is no need to write clearly about the way of death, and when the time comes, let the actors brainstorm together, well, this is also a good publicity gimmick.
