"Xingke, our "Double Treasure Fighting Demon" is scheduled to be released on August 31, and now we can have a good competition with "Moonlight Panic 2007"!" Jason happily introduced the schedule of the movie to Li Xiang.

"Jason, who gave you the illusion that you can compete with "Moonlight Panic 2007"? You are sick, you have to be cured!" Originally, you had a small cost of less than $100,000, and it would be a victory to be released, and you still wanted to wrestle with other people's classic series, and if you could have a fraction of the box office, it would be considered a victory, and your future could only be the video tape market.

The translation of movies in our country is really loved and hated, such as the travelogue of various animated films, the general mobilization, and Li Xiang's own movie "Hurricane Rescue", the original English name of the people is "Taken", if you don't know the original name, just look at the Chinese name and think it is a disaster movie, but "Halloween" translated into "Moonlight Panic" is really a stroke of genius! (I don't know if anyone can see the little easter egg I left, Jason who you thought of? Haha Buddha can't say it's impossible to say!)

This classic horror series that spans nearly 30 years can be regarded as a big name. In 2004, the British authoritative science fiction journal "SFX" selected the most terrifying films in history, and in 1978, the first part of "Moonlight Panic" won the first place in the most terrifying film, officially announcing its status as the king in the horror movie world. Steven O'Brien, editor of SFX magazine, said: "Moonlight Panic is the originator of the genre of horror films for later generations, and it is the iconic work of horror films for the next 20 years. Steven adds, "Horror films don't have to be bloody, the best horror is tied to the tension, the atmosphere, the churning of the organs, and the plot development is completely unexpected and not even the director necessarily wants it." ”

From 1978 to 2002, the long-lived "Moonlight Panic" produced eight sister films, grossed more than $300 million, and has become an iconic work admired by horror movie fans around the world for more than two decades. 2007's "Moonlight Panic 2007" is the 9th part of the series, and it is also the beginning of a new version of the story of the series, and the results are not bad, and finally got a score of 58.27 million. The production company made persistent efforts and spent 15 million to launch "Moonlight Panic 2009" in 2009, but it suffered a double Waterloo at the box office, with an Imdb score of only 4.9 and only 33.39 million in North America. The series was directly thrown into the cold for 9 years, and it was not until 2018 that the series was reopened, and the heroine of the series, 'Queen of Horror' Jamie Lee Curtis, returned, and it is unknown what the results will be. (Aunt Curtis's figure is really so good that she has nothing to say, friends who have watched the part of "True Lies" about seducing the governor must have a deep understanding)

"It doesn't matter, the box office is definitely not as high as anyone's, but I think the results of a single hall can still be spelled. "It's okay, not getting carried away, can continue to be friends.

"Let's build a film company!" This is what Li Xiang originally planned, after all, Jason is white, and some projects are much more convenient than his own Chinese, and he knows that there will be so many movies in the future, and some are really not suitable for domestic release, but it is not a problem at all in the United States.

"What are we going to focus on?" Jason didn't say no, but considered the direction of the company's development.

"We mainly focus on low-cost films, you don't have to worry about the funds and scripts, I will handle it here, all you have to do is to form our own team, I may go to Hollywood to shoot science fiction films in the future, and when the time comes, we have our own people, and it is more convenient to use." Li Xiang hopes that his future company, like Blumhouse, will focus on small costs.

Speaking of Blumhouse, you may not be familiar with it, but surely you've seen their opening credits: a chair floating in the air, and then a little girl with a disheveled hair looks sideways with the sound of gasps in the background. This is a film production company that mainly produces low-budget horror films. For example, the North American blockbuster "Smart: Ghost Record" series, the "Human Erasure Project" series, and "Burst Drummer", which received 6 Oscar nominations and 3 awards in 2015, are all works of the studio. 17 years is also the highlight of this company, "Escape from Desperate Town" runs through the 17 years of awards season, "Happy Death Day" has a bumper box office reputation, and it is also one of Li Xiang's favorite film production companies.

"It's a really good idea, we can be affiliated with Lionsgate. Jason very much agreed with Li Xiang's proposal.

"What you have to do now is to quickly contact a few writers to see if the copyright of these works is still there, if it is still there, buy it immediately, and I will call you later!" Li Xiang then told Jason about "The Hunger Games", "Moving Maze", and "Divergent", and asked him to try to buy the copyright, in addition to "Twilight", but Li Xiang is not sure whether Lionsgate's Summit Entertainment has bought the copyright, but it doesn't matter, they are not very capable of filming "Twilight" now , the copyright of those novels is relatively more important.

"Where did you hear about these novels?

"Big brother, the problem is that you don't usually read novels, as if I don't say you know!" Li Xiang rolled his eyes.

"That's what I said, whatever, it's your money anyway, it's just as good as you're happy!"

"Hey, don't look listless, these are all hens that lay golden eggs in our future!" As a reborn, Li Xiang naturally knows the future achievements of these movies.

"Starke, do you know that you look like a god stick now?" asked Jason squeezed.

"Get out!" Lao Tzu is sending you money, what kind of attitude do you have, but after thinking about it, Li Xiang was relieved, you know that people don't know, it seems that in the future, it is better to keep a low profile as much as possible, this is the relationship between Jason and himself is in place, and another person may take Li Xiang away and study it.

What kind of director is liked by investors, famous, powerful, and award-winning? No, the one who can make money is the one who roars the most! Especially those with low investment and high returns, that is the guest of honor of all investors. Coincidentally, Li Xiang belongs to this kind of director that investors dream of. The production cost of "Happy Death Day" is 5 million, and the optical fiber family can completely afford it, Li Xiang didn't ask for the director's remuneration, and took 5% of the total box office. It's easy to offend people when you eat alone, and the copyright of "Hurricane Rescue" is in your hands, so what more bicycles do you need? "Happy Death Day" should be a gift to optical fiber. Yang Mi and other actors only have a salary of 1 million for packaging, and the remaining 4 million is enough for the production of the movie, spend a little money to do big things, who don't like such a director?
