"Mom, my sister is on the phone, it seems to be the miser. Christian Sloan ran downstairs and hugged Melanie Sloan.

"Why are you eavesdropping on your sister's phone call again. Melanie Sloan patted her son's buttocks, "This habit has to be broken." ”

"I just happened to pass by, and my sister didn't close the door, and I heard her say, 'Miser, don't forget the dividends you promised me.'" I didn't deliberately eavesdrop. Christian Sloan said with some depression.

He really didn't eavesdrop on purpose, but he just wanted to go downstairs to get ice cream, and he happened to hear it, thinking that last time his mother asked him to eavesdrop and return the money, so he subconsciously reported.

"Wait, you say a miser?" Meranie Sloan reacted, the name wasn't the same as the last call her daughter received, and said dividends.

"yes, that's what my sister said. ”

Listening to his son's words, Melanie Sloan had to think of "Buried Alive", which seems to be going to be screened nationwide these days, could it be that the miser is talking about that Justin Chen?

As a woman, she also knew what it meant to give the South some names other than names, misers sounded sarcastic, but between men and women, it was definitely not a bad name, but it made Melanie feel a little nicknamed.

"You will, you will, believe my vision, I'm a future star in your mouth, right?"

Chen Tian smiled and said: "Of course, I believe in you, but I am a little depressed in my heart, but it is much better to talk to you, I can't ask for too much." ”

Scarlett heard footsteps coming upstairs: "Don't say it, my mother is up, I'll contact you when I'm free." ”

Without waiting for Chen Tian to reply, Scarlett hung up the phone.

"Mannie, haven't you slept yet?" Meranie Sloan knocked on the door and walked in.

"I'm ready to sleep, Mom, are you okay?"

"Can't I come to see you if there's nothing to do?" Melanie Sloan glanced at the phone next to the computer, "It's not early, hurry up and go to sleep, it's not good to be in front of the computer for a long time, there is radiation." ”

"I got it. ”

"Then go to bed early, and by the way, don't forget to get a massage. Melanie Sloan said, gesturing her hand over her chest.

"Good night, Mom. ”

"Good night. ”

Seeing her mother close the door, Scarlett breathed a sigh of relief, like a child who had escaped by doing something bad.

Her eyes fell on her phone, and she felt incredulous, muttering, "Why should I be nervous about it? It's nothing to call a friend." ”

Turning off the computer, Scarlett lay down on the chuang.

With his hands on his chest, he couldn't help but think of the scene when he woke up that morning.

Chen Tian, who was in Los Angeles, shook his head and closed the website, he needed to think carefully about the future plan, what happened these days completely disrupted his plan.

Wen Ziren still wants to continue the filming of "Super Burger King", and the cost of the original film is less than $70,000, and Chen Tian took out $100,000.

As for how to shoot this weight loss inspirational comedy documentary, Chen Tian believes that with the script, Wen Ziren will not let him down.

However, the production cycle of this film will be much longer than burying it alive, and it will basically take two months before and after.

If it weren't for the delay of this time, the post-editing production would have been basically completed in September, but now it is conservatively estimated that it will not be completed until October.

However, this also has an advantage, that is, the box office share of "Buried Alive" is basically in hand, and if the final box office reaches 20 million worldwide like later generations, then he can get 2 million from Lionsgate.

It will also receive 1 million yuan each according to the sponsorship agreements previously reached with ZIPPO and RIM, so that the total revenue from the share of "Buried Alive" can reach 4 million US dollars.

Coupled with the original Lionsgate's 1 million and two sponsorship fees totaling 300,000, after deducting the previous cost of filming "Buried Alive" and what he usually used, he can still leave about 525.

After deducting the $100,000 cost of "Super Burger King", there is almost 5.15 million left.

The fund of 5.15 million is not enough for a Hollywood production, not even a fraction of the publicity fee, but this is all Chen Tian has.

And Wen Ziren's budget for filming "Chainsaw" is 1 million, so Chen Tian can have at least $4 million left.

The remaining $4 million also includes dividends to Wen Ziren and Scarlett, as well as the cost of buying the script for "Little Sunshine Beauty".

In the end, there was almost $3 million left, and it was too difficult to shoot "Little Sunshine Beauty" with $3 million.

After all, "Little Sunshine Beauty" is not "Buried Alive", only one actor is needed, and there are few props, and the film cost is very small.

Compared with "Buried Alive", although "Little Sunshine Beauty" is a small production that cannot be smaller in the eyes of Hollywood predators, it is a super-large production for Chen Tian, and it cannot fail but only win.

At this time, Chen Tian had to expect that the new "Buried Alive" could get a higher box office, and only in this way could he get more dividends and have more funds.

"Dude, we made it!" Jon Filtimmel laughed as he looked at the data coming back from the computer.

Last night he worked overtime at the company like the employees, and the employees went back at two o'clock in the morning, and he went straight to the office couch for a while.

In order to see last night's screening data for the first time, in fact, he got his wish.

When Tom Thornberg heard this, an excited expression immediately appeared on his face: "Oh, yes? Thank God, I knew we were going to succeed when I was there tonight, even if I didn't know what would happen to the other five cities in Ludao." ”

When Tom Thornberg saw the data on his computer, he was completely stunned: "Oh, God, oh, God." ”

"Tom, you're scared too, aren't you?" Jon Fittimmel patted Tom Thornberg on the shoulder, "You should be much better off than I am when you go to the scene, but I'm here waiting for the news to come." ”

The computer clearly shows the box office of "Buried Alive" yesterday, and "Buried Alive" in six theaters in six cities received a total of 419,000 box office, and the box office of a single theater was as high as 69,800 US dollars.

The box office of a single hall reached $69,800, and although his 300-seat small hall was almost full last night, this result was something he could not have imagined, not to mention that yesterday was not a weekend but a weekday on Wednesday.

The single-theater performance of 69,800 to nearly 70,000 US dollars is second only to the 73,300 single-theater screening of Finding Nemo on May 30, and the single-theater performance ranks second among the films released in 2003.

Behind "Buried Alive" are "The Matrix 2", "Fake God", and "X-Men 2", a number of super productions with a total investment and publicity cost of more than 100 million.

Yesterday in six theaters, a total of 120 live burials were scheduled, with an average of 700 people per show, and the average live burial was $7.

To reach this box office, it means that the number of moviegoers buried alive yesterday reached 60,000, and the attendance rate needs to be as high as 71%.

Such an achievement was both influenced by the anti-war wave and driven Tom Thornberg crazy.

Chen Tian was also excited when he heard this result, and he knew that almost no one would go to the theater to watch this film a second time, and not many adults would be willing to bring their underage children to it.

The nature of live burial is basically a one-time consumption, which is far from being comparable to popcorn movies.

The freshness of Buried Alive on Rotten Tomatoes is as high as 87%, and the score is as high as 7.9 points when 5,000 people participated in the IMBD score, and more importantly, the score of 19 comprehensive media in this movie has reached 72 points.

"Bury a great low-budget film alive, throw away all the damn other factors, and this film conquered me in just ten minutes.

Justin Chan is telling us that a good movie doesn't necessarily need a huge amount of money, and that it has excellent screening results.

It is undeniable that burying alive has capitalized on the anti-war wave, but for Hollywood, which is the ultimate criterion for the box office, the burial alive has already achieved initial success.

This live burial at a cost of only $10,000 may have put Warner under pressure, at least judging from the screenings, "Buried Alive" will be a strong contender for "Terminator 3".

$10,000 against $240 million, OH, it wasn't supposed to be a level fight, but Justin Chan and Lionsgate did it, and I think there must be a lot of people who can't wait to see this war as much as I do. ”

Elizabeth Wiezman of the New York Daily News wrote in her film review column that she also wrote the voices of many people.
