Chapter 132: The Storm

James. At first, Bucky thought that the turmoil might end without a hitch, even if he really couldn't complete the task of bringing Chen Tian back.

But what he didn't expect was that this qiē was just a brief peace before the storm.

Steve. Bix glared at James. Bucky, if he had been the chairman of Lionsgate in the past, he wouldn't have paid much attention to that at all.

So he didn't know what the reason for the breakdown of Chen Tian and Lionsgate's cooperation was, and he thought that MGM offered a higher price, so Chen Tian did not continue to cooperate with Lionsgate.

Although he was a little regretful, he didn't care too much.

But now that we know why, James. Naturally, Bucky became the object of his venting.

No one is disgusted with money, especially capitalists, who want to make more money all the time.

Although the price offered to Chen Tian is not low, it is equivalent to having a free money-making plan for Lionsgate.

But now MGM has become the beneficiary, and James Murphy has become a beneficiary. Bucky left Steve with his head drooping. Bix's office.

He regretted what he had done, and after contacting Chen Tian before, Chen Tian's tone made him very dissatisfied, and in the end, he broke up unhappily.

He didn't have any confidence in re-wooing Chen Tian, so he couldn't really let Chen Tiangan take his position.

The premiere grossed $11.24 million, a result that put countless blockbusters to shame.

Not to mention that Chen Tian only spent $1 million to complete such a box office, although the cost of "Buried Alive" is less.

The premiere box office was also better than "Hard Fruit Candy", reaching more than 17 million on the first day with many super-sized productions such as "Termination 3".

But the success of "Buried Alive" is built on a special background, and the arrangement of the theater is much stronger than that of "Hard Candy". Similarly, the popularity of the film market is far from being comparable to today's off-season.

You must know that during the schedule of "Buried Alive". A large-scale zuò film can reach 30 million at the box office in a single day. And now the off-season weekly box office champion may only be less than 20 million.

At the same time, this time "Fruit Hard Candy" is far less powerful than "Buried Alive".

"Fruit Hard Candy" still ushered in the feat of a single-day box office of over 10 million on the second day of its release, with a single-day box office of 11.41 million on Saturday.

This number allowed "Hard Candy" to beat the 7.99 million that "Kill Bill 1" received on Saturday, thus becoming the single-day box office champion again.

In just two days, the cumulative box office of "Hard Fruit Candy", which cost only $1 million, reached 22.65 million.

And this is still in the off-season of the film market, and last week's box office champion "Rock School" was released on Thursday, and it only won $19.6 million in four days.

and won the weekly box office championship with a score of less than 20 million US dollars, and "Hard Fruit Candy" won the box office more than "Rock School" in just two days.

This week, this number is only 3.2 million less than "Kill Bill 1," which was released for four days.

And this week also has the most important Sunday. According to the box office results of "Kill Bill 1" two days ago, "Kill Bill 1" on Sunday will be at the level of 8 million.

Once "Hard Candy" once again gets more than 10 million single-day box office results, then "Hard Candy" is likely to become the second film in Chen Tian's directorial career to win the weekly box office championship.

"Hard Fruit Candy Continues to Soar" -- this is the Los Angeles Times entertainment section of the report on "Hard Fruit Candy".

And "Variety", which is as famous as "The Hollywood Reporter", has given Chen Tian a high degree of recognition: "From "Buried Alive" to "Hard Fruit Candy", there are no special effects, and there are no bloody scenes of current thrillers.

Some only have words, some only have fears that seem ordinary but deep enough to penetrate into the heart.

Justin. With two low-budget thrillers, Chen established his unique superpowers in thrillers.

The history of thrillers will not put his name on it, and the miracles will not stop there! ”

"Variety" magazine has such a high evaluation, so that Chen Tian has gained a lot of attention again.

"Although, this film was a nightmare for me. But I'm still looking forward to Justin. Chen's next film! ”

"If it was a normal thriller, I think I'd enjoy it. But I hate being threatened down there, and that feels terrible. ”

"'Little Sunshine Beauty' is not a thriller, and I hope it won't disappoint because of it."

……

As Chen Tian received more recognition, the media also began to look for the factors of Chen Tian's success.

At a cost of 1 million, there are only five actors in the whole film, and there are only two main actors.

None of the five actors is a little famous, and the 100-minute plot scenes in the whole film are even less pitiful.

There were no special effects, no excessive blood, and then such a film reached 22.65 million at the box office in two days.

Roger. Albert wrote in the Chicago Sun-Times, where he works, "He is good at creating topics to attract attention, and he is good at using limited resources to achieve maximum results."

He is good at using psychological suspense to create fear, is good at digging out outstanding unknown actors, and is good at getting the best results from ordinary shots.

That's Justin. The secret of Chen's success, the secret built on the basis of strength! ”

Despite the fact that Roger. Albert didn't say much, but people connected his words to "Buried Alive" and "Hard Candy", and they discovered Roger. Albert summed it up brilliantly.

And Roger. Albert's summary also made the major film companies in the United States agree with it, if Chen Tian's box office miracle in "Buried Alive" is still surprising and questioning.

So at this moment, in the face of the success of "Fruit Hard Candy", many people who questioned Chen Tianyuan's original report began to calm down and think like many people.

Thinking about why Chen Tian has been able to succeed continuously on small-budget films, while Roger. Albert's words undoubtedly got them the answer they wanted.

A person who is good at it is built on the basis of strength, a person who can turn small costs into big benefits, and any company is eager for such talents.

Although "Hard Fruit Candy" has only been released for two days, this does not prevent those other companies from recognizing Chen Tian.

Early on a Sunday morning. When Chen Tian opened the mailbox, he found that there were a lot of emails.

Among them are invitations to direct some thriller scripts. There was also an invitation to send the script to seek Chen Tian's investment. There are also invitations from some large companies, including giants such as Sony and Universal.

Looking at the scripts in the mailbox, Chen Tian did not agree.

Chen Tian doesn't want to freeze himself on the director of a thriller, and he doesn't want to try thriller shooting all the time.

If there is an excellent script, he prefers to let Wen Ziren direct it.

However, Wen Ziren only has one "Super Burger King" released now, and it is also blocked by Chen Tian's aura.

Although Wen Ziren didn't have any other ideas, Chen Tian knew that if this was the case for a long time, Wen Ziren would have objections in his heart sooner or later.

Even if Wen Ziren does not come out. There will be some suspicions in my heart, and no one wants all their credit to be denied.

After the filming of "Chainsaw", Wen Ziren wanted to add Chen Tian's name to the screenwriter and director, but Chen Tian did not agree.

Chen Tian doesn't want his aura to encroach on all of Wen Ziren's efforts, just like the release of "Super Burger King" this time.

Although this is the work of director Wen Ziren, Chen Tian is only involved in the investment and screenwriting.

But in the end, people's attention was on him, and they all regarded this film as his film rather than Wen Ziren's.

This is unfair to Wen Ziren, so in the short films that were previously submitted to the St. Denis Film Festival, Chen Tian only played the role of producer on the crew list.

After the release two days ago, the castration plot and the girl's revenge plot in "Hard Candy" were slowly brought up.

Although there are quite a few men. hid the situation that he was scared into a cold sweat when he watched "Hard Fruit Candy" in the theater.

But when someone took the lead in accusing, many people on the Internet participated in the discussion.

Many people think that "Hard Fruit Candy" is a bit radical. Such a film is not worthy of publicity.

"I think we should reintroduce the sharing agreement!" Colin. Sean said, looking at the computer.

At the moment, he is having an online video conference with five other theaters, and he didn't want to initiate this meeting, but he was going to contact MGM privately, and then increase the schedule for "Fruit Hard Candy", including "Little Sunshine Beauty".

But Colin. Sean thought that if he did this in private, he would be destined to be discovered, and he would undoubtedly offend the other five major theaters at that time.

That's why he contacted five other theaters to hold this online video conference, and such an idea is not just Colin. Sean has, and the other five have the same will.

Although "Fruit Hard Candy" is now the single-day box office champion for two consecutive days, they will not be interested in such a box office, they are interested in Chen Tian's potential.

The three films "Buried Alive", "Super Burger King", and "Hard Fruit Candy" were all successful, and the reputation was very good, and the media was quite optimistic about Chen Tian's future.

There will be a big production next, and if Chen Tian is completely offended for the sake of 1% of 20th Century Fox, they have also calculated this result and come to the conclusion that it is not a good deal.

Therefore, the thoughts of the six major theater chains have changed, which is why this video conference was born.

"I think we should abandon the original agreement with Fox, and the market needs a sound scheduling mechanism.

I think our previous film schedule was unreasonable, and good films should get more film schedules, which is how it should be. ”

Colin. Sean said righteously, as if he had thrown away the previous idea of 1% benefit.

It was as if it was not them but someone else who was attending the meeting, and now they stood up for justice.

There was little need for discussion, and the heads of the six major theater chains reached an agreement to re-contact MGM and be willing to give "Hard Candy" and "Little Sunshine Beauty" more films.

Yet right here in Colin. Sean dialed Eric on behalf of the six major theater chains. While Lomis was on the phone, two cases were stabbed online.

"Hard Fruit Candy" was sent to the center of the storm at once with these two cases.

"Thank God for your help!" Matthew. Runte looked at the news on the computer and smiled. (To be continued......)

PS: Thank you for the tip! This morning, I was not feeling well, my legs cramped, and I was out of shape for a day, sad!

I was going to prepare three more, and then I replaced the owe to only two chapters (which should be correct), but I didn't write a chapter until the evening.

Sadly, I owe everyone three chapters, plus the monthly pass to 29, only 1 chapter is missing, and it's time to add more......

Let's work hard tomorrow! Don't dare to say big things......

However, if the recommended votes reach 30,000 this week, Xiao Ai will add two more chapters......

It's a terrible feeling to be in arrears!
