The super blockbusters in North America, those that cost more than $100 million or even $200 million to make, are almost all sequels.

Not because of a lack of creativity, a lack of excellent original scripts, but because of the uncontrollable risks.

Compared with sequels, the risk of original scripts has increased significantly countless times, so big-budget original movies have almost disappeared in recent years.

And why are there so many counterattacks of small-budget movies every year?

Many people only see the counterattack of small-budget movies, and see the classic case of small and big, but they forget that the counterattack of a small-budget movie is behind the losses of hundreds of other movies.

Of course, most of the low-budget films are original scripts, on the one hand, because of the low cost, they simply cannot afford to buy the copyright of those works suitable for adaptation.

Originality means innovation, innovation means uncertainty, and this uncertainty is divided into two kinds, one is acceptable to the public, and the other means that it cannot be accepted by the public.

It's impossible for big companies and big productions to gamble, so they chose more adaptations, making sequels, and so on.

Of course, the magic weapon for any company to survive is to own a series of movies.

In the early days of Hollywood giants, some giants did not manage well and continued to lose money, and whenever they were at the end of their ropes, they would always come up with a series of movies to regain their blood.

Of course, there are many kinds of movie series, there are big-budget series, and there are also low-budget series.

Many series of movies may not be so impressive at the box office after their release, but they can make a lot of money on other peripheral channels.

Legendary Pictures' foundation is not thin, but Legendary Pictures doesn't have its own series of movies, oh no, now there is, the rescue series of "Hurricane Rescue" is now one, and "Death is Coming" is also one.

You say, "Kung Fu Panda", "Once Upon a Time Series", "Terminator"?

No, no, no, that doesn't belong to Legendary Pictures, and Legendary Pictures can get very little direct benefits from it, because that book belongs to Huaguo's Sanle Entertainment and Lingxiao Pavilion.

Legendary Pictures is more of a transit station.

Some people may ask, doesn't Lin Xiao have a system? Isn't it okay to take a few big-budget scripts out of the system? Why invest in those low-cost films?

But in reality, this is a very unrealistic thing, why does solo film companies rarely make blockbusters?

Is it because there is no money? Not all of them, the reason why the giants dare to invest in big productions is because, even if the film loses money, they can also recover the cost in a long-term way through peripheral channels, although this period may be a bit long.

But good is the magic weapon to stop loss, but a solo film company often means a lack of channels, and the monetization ability of other aspects of the film is weak.

The same is true for Legendary Pictures, Lin Xiao can't guarantee that he can perfectly restore another time-space blockbuster movie in those systems.

And the times are different, and some things are not static.

Again, Legendary Pictures also lacks other monetization channels.

For example, "Kung Fu Panda" and other popular films, in fact, why are those film and television giants willing to offer such a low distribution share contract? Even on the surface, they are released at a loss.

It's because, whether it's Ling Xiao Pavilion or Legendary Pictures, there are no monetization channels around the movie, and these have to rely on them to provide channels.

They can earn it back exponentially through this.

No one is stupid, is he?

But if it's a new original movie, it's different, and once it loses at the box office, they will immediately fall into the trap and leave you with no money.

Therefore, Legendary Pictures needs to save some money, and the low-cost film series is the family foundation that Lin Xiao has accumulated for Legendary Pictures.

Why choose a horror movie?

In fact, although horror films are niche films, this type of film has a very fixed group of loyal fans.

They love this type of film, as long as the film can be made well, then their spending power is definitely not low.

And it's very stable, most of the people who like this type of film have a stable economic income and can afford to consume this kind of hobby.

Omon is a member of the team of writers recruited by Legendary Pictures, and he is also one of the leaders of the screenwriting team.

Ommon himself is a horror fan, he loves horror movies, he has written a lot of such scripts on his own before, and has even been bought to shoot films, but there is no good response.

For films like "The Grim Reaper", in fact, Oumeng doesn't like it so much, he prefers the kind of heavy-tasting horror films that are bloody and bloody.

Sarina is also a screenwriter recruited by Legendary Pictures, Sarina is only more than one meter five meters tall, it can be said that among the generally taller old beauties, she is definitely small and exquisite.

However, Sarina also has troubles, she is a real child-faced giant, and when she usually dresses, she has to put the murderer on the table to reduce her burden.

A baby-faced Sarina, her hobbies are very strange, she is also a horror fan, and she especially likes horror movies.

"Death is Coming" is the type she likes, not that she doesn't like that kind of heavy horror movies, but she prefers those new and creative horror films.

However, today, whether it was Omon or Sarina, they were all extremely excited.

There's no way not to be excited, that's Lin Xiao, the magical Hua Guolin, Lin Xiao is not without fame in North America, on the contrary, Lin Xiao's fame in North America is actually very big, but not many people know him, and many people just know his name.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that foreigners are basically face blind to yellow people.

Today, Lin Xiao wanted to make a new script and called the two of them over.

The reason why they came to Legendary Pictures is not because they can't find a job, but because of the legend of Legendary Pictures and Lin Xiao's legendary experience.

Not everyone can get the guidance of a gold medal screenwriter.

Lin Xiao has many titles, but for them, there is no doubt that the title of gold medal screenwriter is what they value the most.

Is Lin Xiao a big shot? Apparently yes!

"It's here!" Lin Xiao walked in, and when he saw Sarina and Ou Meng, Lin Xiao naturally glanced at Sarina a few more times.

I couldn't help but marvel in my heart, this scale, this height, I really don't know how she looks.

In fact, Sarina is not ugly, and she is a little pretty, but these are often overlooked, because she is really fierce.

Ou Meng is a handsome guy, but his preferences are definitely not good.

This is also a representative of the inconspicuous appearance of people.
