Chapter 278: Harvest Each

The global release of Saw 2 was a huge success, benefiting countless people.

Sought after by the Hong Kong media, investors and film companies, all the people involved in the two films "Chainsaw" have received various olive branches and invitations.

Some of them are people who do not have a contract with the Burning Maple Group, and have begun to enter the new crew and start new adventures. The other part of the people who have contracts with the Ranfeng Group are in a dilemma.

Among them, Yu Yunkang's situation is the most embarrassing, on the one hand, the film company and crew that pursue him are the most, and the increase is also the highest, and the temptation is great.

On the other hand, he has just signed a contract with Ranfeng Group, and there are a lot of liquidated damages, plus the example of Wu Yusen last year was there, which made Yu Yunkang very worried.

Such a situation made Yu Yunkang very tormented.

While Yu Yun was suffering, Zhong Chuhong, who was in charge of artist management affairs of Ranfeng Group, was the first to find some unusual signs. In the company for two consecutive days, several people left behind the scenes, which made Zhong Chuhong vigilant.

Zhong Chuhong's connections accumulated in the more than a year of controlling the Ministry of Economic Affairs of Ranfeng Group are not in vain, and everything is clear in just a few phone calls.

"Ah Ran, several cinema companies in Hong Kong are now planning to produce thriller horror films similar to "Chainsaw", and our company has been poached by them in the past two days to poach several behind-the-scenes personnel who have participated in the "Chainsaw" series. ”

Zhong Chuhong rushed to Jiang Ran's office and said eagerly.

Jiang Ran didn't seem nervous when he heard this, he had expected such a thing.

"This is a normal market reaction. Jiang Ran said confidently, "You tell everyone that our Ranfeng Group does not prohibit everyone from working outside on the basis of obtaining the company's consent. ”

"I think that's going to dampen some people's desire to leave. Jiang Ran looked at Zhong Chuhong and said.

Zhong Chuhong was stunned, and then asked: "Ordinary actors and behind the scenes are no problem, what about directors like Yu Yunkang?

Jiang Ran shook his head with a smile, reached out and rubbed Zhong Chuhong's smiling head dotingly, and said in the other party's disgusted eyes: "Of course you have to treat it differently." ”

"First of all, these people can't affect Ran Feng's interests when they are outside. Second, these people are working outside the home, and they must not deviate from the positioning and planning of your Ministry of Economic Affairs. ”

"Of course, this time, like Yu Yunkang this time, when these people are faced with huge profit temptations, they may not be able to understand the company's approach, so they need communication and persuasion from your Ministry of Economic Affairs. ”

"For example, Yu Yunkang, you go and ask him if he is sure that he will be able to achieve a result like "Saw 2" again, if not, let him choose one of the "Saw Horror" series of movies and the movies outside. I'm sure he'll know what's going on. ”

The success of "Saw 2" not only benefited the people involved in front of and behind the scenes, but also took advantage of it to gain fame and fortune.

The success of "Chainsaw 2" has made Ranfeng Group truly famous in the international film market, and laid a solid foundation for the overseas distribution of Ranfeng Group in the future, at least in the field of cult films such as thriller horror films.

After all, when a company produces two films of the same genre in quick succession, it will have a very different weight among a given group of filmmakers.

After all, one success can be a matter of luck and chance, and two successes in a row must be the strength of this company.

The expansion of fame and channels has laid a solid foundation for the future of Ranfeng Group.

At present, the most intuitive and valuable thing that Ran Feng Group has obtained in "Saw 2" is box office revenue

So far, it is conservatively estimated that Ran Feng Group can share more than $50 million in the box office revenue of the movie "Chainsaw 2".

However, this part of the income that seems to be very considerable is obviously not all the income of "Saw 2", and the box office of cult movies is generally poor compared to ordinary commercial films because of their relatively niche characteristics and the impact of screening restrictions.

However, this type of movie, in the film market, has never lacked audiences, and there will always be a part of the audience who will have a soft spot for this type of movie and like it very much.

It is precisely because of this that some dark horses often emerge in the videotape market of this type of movie outside the box office.

After its release last year, "Chainsaw Horror", a subsidiary of Ranfeng Group, has achieved good results in the videotape market, and can provide hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars of revenue for the group every month.

In just one year, this film, which cost millions of Hong Kong dollars, has provided nearly 10 million US dollars of revenue for Ranfeng Group on videotapes, which is a very important and stable source of income for Ranfeng Group.

As a sequel movie, "Saw 2" has achieved outstanding results in the box office market, and Ranfeng Group will naturally not ignore its huge influence and interests in the videotape market.

Beginning in mid-November, when the box office potential of "Saw 2" was exhausted, Ranfeng Group also began to lay out its global videotape market, and the videotapes that the group had prepared for a long time were sent out from the United States and Hong Kong, and began to sell and rent them in major outlets around the world.

The length of the tape is longer than the version released in theaters, and the storyline is somewhat different from the version released in theaters.

Sam is an avid cult movie enthusiast, and he is especially fond of the "Saw" series of movies produced by Hong Kong Film Company.

The ups and downs of the storyline, the unexpected ending, and the bloody and terrifying visuals have made Sam deeply trapped and out of control since the release of "Chainsaw" last year.

Last month, after the release of "Saw 2", as an avid fan of the chainsaw series of movies, Sam naturally went to the theater to watch the movie as soon as possible.

In Sam's opinion, although this sequel movie is far from the first one in terms of storytelling, it is addicted to Sam in terms of its bloody horror and varied and exquisite mechanism design.

Now, when the videotape of this movie is released, as a qualified chainsaw fan, in order to specialize in the movie more carefully, Sam will naturally not let go of the opportunity to buy the videotape, and as soon as the videotape is on the market, he bought the hardcover version.

Back at home, Sam couldn't wait to take out the videotape he had just bought, closed the doors and windows, held a bag of popcorn, and quietly enjoyed it alone.

Nearly two hours passed, and Sam let out a long sigh as he looked at the subtitles that began to beat on the TV, "That's cool!" Sam muttered to himself as he got up from the couch and was about to turn off the TV, when another image unexpectedly flashed on the screen.

"Huh, what kind of movie is this?" Sam stopped his movements in confusion, "Is this a picture from Saw 3?"

Sam was thinking about it when a surging and disgusting zombie began to appear on the TV, cascading like a group of reptiles, constantly impacting like a building guarded by several people.

"It's not Saw Horror, what kind of movie is this?" Sam had already seen that the shot in the frame was not the same type as the chainsaw.

Although the shots in the picture are not the guessed "Chainsaw", the intense and exciting scenes on the TV still make Sam reluctant to turn off the TV for a while.

After a minute or two, the puzzle finally begins to be revealed, and the name of the movie, "Zombies Out" (the name of the Western market), appears in Sam's field of vision.

Then information about the movie, as well as the film's producer, director, and so on, began to flash on TV one after another. At this time, Sam also learned that this movie was produced by a film company at the time of "Chainsaw", and the planning and director were actually the same person as the planner and director of the first "Chainsaw".

"What a surprise!" Sam said excitedly, now curious about the yet-to-be-released movie, "I hope it can be as cool as Saw Horror." ”

Sam muttered to himself, grabbed the remote, and returned the TV to the beginning of the trailer, re-watching the short trailer.

At the same time, in North America and other parts of the world, with the large-scale release of the videotape of "Chainsaw 2", more and more people have begun to pay attention to the movie "Zombies Out of the Cage", and even Jiang Ran, the planner and director, has also begun to be concerned by some cult movie fans.

And this has obviously become another successful harvest of "Saw 2" - promoting "Zombie Out"
