"Chainsaw" was also released by Lionsgate in the original world, so Zhou Shaoming believed that it would definitely fulfill his wishes and agreed to release the film.

Tobin spared no effort to help Zhou Shaoming, and before the editing was finished, he contacted Lionsgate through his connections in the film industry and recommended this film to them, which is claimed to change the horror film slash and kill or only play psychological fear.

Lionsgate was full of interest in the film, and extended his olive skills to Zhou Shaoming, inviting them to hand it over to Lionsgate for review as soon as they completed the final production, and then decide whether to release the film.

"This is Jon Fittimmel, Lionsgate's distribution manager, this is Tom Odenberg, the buying manager, and this friendly guy is Michael Parsenech, the production manager, who has been my friend for more than a decade!" Tobin introduced the three standing in front of Zhou Shaoming with a faint smile on his face.

"Hello, Mr. Smith Chow, Tobin highly recommends your film to us, I was calloused by what he said, and now I can finally see this movie!" Michael, the manager of the production department, smiled kindly, then held out his hand.

Zhou Shaoming hurriedly shook hands with Michael, nodded and said, "Thank you for giving me this opportunity, I believe that my movie can make a sensation in the United States and create a new pattern of American horror films!" ”

"Oh, you're not very old, but you're full of faith! Youngster! Jon, the manager of the distribution department, also smiled, looked at Zhou Shaoming with appreciation, and then said: "The screening room is ready, you two show me this movie quickly, I really can't wait!" ”

Everyone laughed, went to the screening room, and began to play "Saw".

Zhou Shaoming's mind was on the faces of the three people in front of him, and he was a little restless, he didn't go to watch the movie screen at all, but watched their reactions nervously.

As the plot deepened, the expressions on the faces of the three Lionsgate managers, who have the right to decide on the acquisition and distribution of any film, became more and more solemn, from relaxed at the beginning to more and more serious, which made Zhou Shaoming feel a little at ease.

They'll think my movie is good!

Zhou Shaoming looked worriedly, and saw Tom leaning back on the chair to slowly straightening up, his body began to lean forward involuntarily, and his face even showed an expression of surprise uncontrollably.

Although Lionsgate Pictures is a small company, these three are well-informed figures in the film industry, but they have solemn expressions one by one, and each one looks more nervous than the other, it seems that they are deeply moved by "Saw", and all their spirits are devoted to the movie.

watched intently, whispering a few times at first, but then just staring at the screen firmly, losing interest in chatting, and even exclaiming from time to time, especially those creepy death mechanisms, which made the three of them show shocked expressions.

The needle pit that Christina jumped into actually made Zhou Shaoming notice that a layer of dense goosebumps climbed on the back of Michael's neck!

He was surprisingly nervous, and grabbed the armrest of his chair in fear, seeing that posture continue like this, it really made people worry that he would not be able to resist escaping from the screening room!

Let the manager of the film company who watched the film escape from the screening room in fright, which ......

Scene after scene, the plots are interlocking, the three of them still drink coffee from time to time, but then they just stand up and don't care about sitting down!

At the end of the movie, the corpse of the saw that had been lying on the screen slowly climbed up, this scene made Jon pat the back of the chair excitedly, so that he brought the coffee cup next to him to the ground, and he didn't care about the poor utensils shattered on the marble floor, and screamed, but it scared Zhou Shaoming!

"Cool! It's awesome! This idea alone is worth the ticket price! Jon said in a nonchalant manner, and then wiped his sweat in a very disfigured manner.

"It's really good, there are horror movies with breakthrough surnames! How did you come up with those death traps that scared you so much that you could wake up when you fell asleep? It's incredible! Tom, who also stood up, was almost about to make a decision, but thinking that he had to give the other two some face after all, he turned his head and asked, "What do you think?" ”

Michael didn't speak, he finally controlled it and didn't run away in fright, and he didn't care about the coffee that Jon brought down and splashed himself: "Perfect movie, the performances of several actors in the play can score more than 95 points in my heart!" Genius creativity, coupled with superb acting skills that most Hollywood actors would envy, makes this an extremely appealing film. I really can't imagine where Smith Chow found such a good actor! They can increase the remuneration of the next movie by 100% with the performance of this show! That's great! I really don't know what to say! ”

"Thank you for the compliment, then, can you agree to release this movie?" Zhou Shaoming also stood up, showing a nervous expression, and looked at the three people in front of him in a daze.

"Why not?" Jon laughed, he had already made up his mind to win "Saw" before any film company, so he stretched out his hand and said to Zhou Shaoming: "Come and shake hands, young director!" It's time for us to talk about the next details! Lionsgate agrees to issue! ”

Zhou Shaoming's dangling heart hanging in mid-air suddenly fell, and that kind of full sense of happiness, joy and accomplishment was like the shock wave brought by the successful explosion of a nuclear bomb, and suddenly rushed straight to the whole body!

"Thank you! Zhou Shaoming said excitedly, shook hands with him, and then hugged Tobin in his arms.

Tobin laughed and said, "Tap, my dear director, I'm not Christina, my old bones are about to be broken by you!" ”

In Lionsgate's negotiation room, Zhou Shaoming, Tobin and the three heavyweight managers sat face-to-face and began to discuss the film's share and promotion methods.

"That's it, none of the three of us deny that this "Saw Horror" is very good, I believe that with this movie, you can make any film company in the United States offer a high price, so Lionsgate is not hidden, I give our greatest sincerity on behalf of Lionsgate, and pay 10 million dollars to buy this show, what do you think?" After a brief discussion between the three of them, Tom took a sip of coffee slowly, then looked at Zhou Shaoming and said.

Ten million dollars?

If I remove the money that was given back to you and remove the $2.3 million in filming funding, I could make close to $7 million. Then on a pro-rata basis, I can get a share of $5 million!

Oh, my God! 5 million US dollars, according to the exchange rate at that time, if the US dollar is about 1:8 to RMB, it is 40 million yuan!

Zhou Shaoming's heart seemed to be grabbed by someone, tight, and breathless.

Trying to calm down the excitement, Zhou Shaoming is no longer the original young man, too many things have happened one by one in just a few months, which has made him mature quickly in thought.

His face didn't show too many mood swings, just shook his head slightly, "I believe that this movie can bring a lot of box office, bring Lionsgate, and bring me enough profits, so I don't want to use a buyout, I want to share it fairly according to the total box office revenue." ”

Just kidding, the original "Chainsaw" had $55 million in North America and hundreds of millions of dollars at the global box office, how could it be sold for $10 million? Although Lionsgate also showed great sincerity, this is business, and the interests that should be fought for should naturally be fought for.

James Wing, the Chinese-American director of the original "Chainsaw", finally chose the box office sharing model.

Coupled with the improvement of "Chainsaw" and the invitation of Robert Jr. and Jeremy, the two Oscar-winning actors, to join, Zhou Shaoming is absolutely confident that this new version of "Chainsaw" will take the box office to the next level, not to mention the global box office of hundreds of millions, even if it is 230 million, Zhou Shaoming is firmly persistent to the point of paranoia, and believes that his movie will definitely be achieved.

Therefore, he boldly proposed to Tom to make a payment method for the box office share.

"Divided?" Tom smiled, the young director in front of him had no small courage and appetite, and even gave up the $10 million that he could get right away, to ask for a share of the total box office that now seems to be missing.

He's bold enough.
