Chapter 819: Victory Without a Fight?

William Lewis's cult films, which have always been highly regarded. 'Le'wen'''.

So at the New York Film Festival at the end of September, his films were very popular.

Generally speaking, a small-budget film only participates in one film festival, and the purpose of participating in the film festival is to let large companies discover their own films and promote and distribute their own films.

Many independent filmmakers release movies like this, and many large companies also come to buy goods in this way.

Among them, the most famous independent film company is undoubtedly Lionsgate.

In my last life, Lionsgate was the distributor of "Saw", and it was also at the film festival that "Saw" fell in love with "Saw" at a glance, which led to the seven-part "Saw Fight".

Jiang Xia has taken the path of Paramount directly in his life, and he doesn't need to take the path of being famous at the film festival at all, and he is much stronger than James Wing in his previous life.

Louis also made a name for himself at the festival in the beginning.

Several film festivals in North America are good news for cult films, and there are many small-budget films to participate, just to find a way out.

People only see Hollywood's successful superstars and directors, but they don't know how many filmmakers are struggling to make ends meet in Hollywood.

The films at the film festival have full premieres and fragment test screenings.

Movies like Jiangxia, which already have a production company, are generally test screenings, and a clip is released, and within 30 minutes, everyone can judge.

Not only Jiang Xia, but Louis's movie is also a test screening of less than 30 minutes.

The two are on equal terms in this.

William Lewis went to New York to attend the film festival, which attracted a lot of media attention, and if it weren't for his films, he would have been one of the judges. Last year, when he didn't have a film in the competition, he was a judge.

It is said that one of the reasons why Jiangxia can't fight Louis is here, and he can't compete with a judge for a film award, isn't it impossible to think about it?

However, all this changed at the film festival at the end of September, because the premiere of "Chainsaw" was 30 minutes old, which really amazed the entire film festival.

"Mad Farm" is very famous, after all, it is Louis's cult movie.

"Chainsaw", which fought in the ring with "Crazy Farm", took over, making many Louis fans sour and saying that Jiangxia was gaining popularity, and a bet to push his movie out, at least saving millions of publicity costs.

There is a cost per film at the festival, and the cost of "Mad Farm" has a cost of thirteen million, which is definitely a small cost for a film with two second-tier actors, but for a cult film, it is definitely a high cost. Because, the cost of the movie "Chainsaw" that fought with "Crazy Farm" is one-tenth of that of "Crazy Farm", only 1.3 million costs.

When this contrast came out, all the people who supported Louis suddenly secretly shouted that something was wrong.

Jiang Xia bet on Louis on three conditions, the first is the return on funds, the second is the film festival award, and the third is the speed of shooting.

At that time, Louis confidently agreed, but now he has lost a little, and the shooting speed of Jiangxia Nine Days is unmatched.

Now it seems that the return on capital is also very difficult.

Jiang Xia only used 1.3 million to make movies, and if he could get a box office of 13 million, it would be a tenfold rate of return, so if Louis wanted to surpass him, he would have to be 130 million.

The lower the cost, the higher the rate of return, Jiangxia's cost is one-tenth of Louis's, even if the shooting is bad, work hard, and get a box office of 13 million, there is also a certain hope. But what about Louis? The box office of 130 million is really difficult.

So far, the number of small-budget horror films that have exceeded 100 million is only in single digits, and everyone knows the difficulty.

Because of this comparison, Jiang Xia actually has the hope of winning without a fight?

Not only them, but even Louis was under pressure to lose?

However, Louis did not admit defeat, he wanted to see what movie Jiang Xia made, he didn't believe how good the movie made by Jiutian could be. His only hope of winning now is that Jiang Xia has made a very bad film, the kind that has no hope of even 10 million box office, otherwise, he will definitely lose.

After losing, if you can't film for a short time, you have to take a degree, any master's degree, you have to delay for two years, you can't do anything and you have to rest for two years, Luis is very unconvinced.

On the first day of the film festival, Louis came to the screening hall of "Chainsaw", and Louis did not hide his whereabouts at all, and swaggered in.

At the same time, a lot of media followed, and they also wanted to know what Jiang Xia's movie was like.

What will the movie be like in nine days?

The half-hour test screening was so fast, quite fast, that before Louis's surprised eyes were completely closed, the movie was already over.

As a professional filmmaker, a well-known cult filmmaker, he can certainly see the level of this movie, which is definitely high-end, quite high-end. The half-hour test screening is enough to tell the main story line clearly and attract the audience.

Louis had to admit that Jiangxia did have a level, and he made such a movie in nine days.

"Crazy Farm" will definitely be better than "Saw", and it will certainly be higher than its box office, but in terms of return on money, it is a bit embarrassing, and it is almost impossible to beat "Saw".

It wasn't just Luis who was surprised, but the media even more surprised.

After Jiangxia's "Nine Days Movie" came out, the media reported wildly, thinking that Jiangxia had done whatever it took to win, and that Jiangxia's movies must be of low quality.

After looking at the movie now, no one dares to say this, although it is only half an hour, which is not enough to tell the whole story of the movie, but in this half an hour, it has been able to prove a lot of things.

That's because there are few scenes, only lines, and there are few things that need to be played by actors, and there are not too many details to do.

The quality is low? Just half an hour after appearing, who said that the quality is low, it is a slap in the face.

Although it is definitely not a very high-quality movie, it is indeed rough in details, but this is a low-budget horror film, what details do you want? As long as it is scary enough, scary enough.

Jiang Xia has done a very complete job at this point, and even the theme is very high, which is more than a step higher than those movies that are horror for the sake of horror, in terms of theme depth.

After watching it for half an hour, everyone was speculating about who the "jigsaw" was, and in the end, would Adam and Gordon be able to escape?

Attractive, absolutely excellent cult movie!
