Although "Halloween", which is a small fight, is obviously more profitable, but in terms of reputation, the movie that naturally earned hundreds of millions of dollars is a little more famous.

Who said that Europeans and Americans don't engage in face engineering, in fact, they are not inferior at all in this regard, you must know that large film companies are listed companies, and the quality of the company's stock is directly linked to the company's reputation, and only the stock of a famous company can attract everyone's pursuit.

On the contrary, the company's profits have little to do with stocks, just like the stock market in the mainland in the 21st century, many stocks of GEM companies are not normal in terms of profits, obviously not making money or even losing money, but the stocks are extremely high, and the price-earnings ratio has reached hundreds or thousands, which makes many stock analysts cry out that they can't understand.

It's all about fame.

This is also the same in Hollywood, because of the pursuit of fame, the status of horror movies in Hollywood was once embarrassing.

Hollywood's orthodox eight major film companies disdain to release horror films even if they see horror films making money, but for the current MSI company, distributing horror films is the best choice.

Because Lei Weidong, who has been a man for two lives, has passed the age of seeking the most face, no matter how big his face is, he can't afford to eat, and the box office of 60 million US dollars is real money.

What's more, the sequel to this movie is also very powerful at the box office, and the movie in Huaguo, another time and space, was translated as "Moonlight Panic".

When selecting the most terrifying horror films of the 20th century, "Moonlight Panic" topped the list, and the box office achieved by this series of movies can be said to be hundreds of millions of dollars, plus horror films have always been the darling of videotapes, it can be said that Lei Weidong made more money on videotapes and TV broadcasts than those so-called blockbusters.

How could Lei Weidong, who was most interested in practical interests, give up this treasure.

After finding "Moonlight Panic", Lei Weidong's mood is obviously much better, it seems that there are still treasures in these scripts, as long as he can endure it, it is estimated that he can find better treasures.

The Chinese translation of Halloween is "Moonlight Panic", which was written by American horror film master John Brown. Carpenter's self-written and directed classic American horror movie,

In 1968 John. Carpenter left home to study film in Canada, and in 1970 he edited and scored Bronco. Billy's Resurrection won the Academy Award for Best Documentary Short Film. Since then, he has often worked as a screenwriter, producer, composer and actor in his own works.

Later, he wrote the script "Moonlight Panic" and prepared to make it into a movie.

But because this film requires a large investment, and although he won the Oscar for Best Short Film, he is still a poor and statusless young director, no one has invested in him at all, and the investment of only 300,000 US dollars is still unbearable for him.

But John. Carpenter did not give up his ideals, he worked hard to save money, wrote for other films, worked as an assistant director, made soundtracks and even worked as a waiter in a fast food restaurant, just to raise a sum of money to shoot this "Moonlight Panic".

But with the cheap salary of the 70s, if you want to save 300,000 dollars, it is far away.

Seeing that it might take him a few more years to scrape together the money, John . Carpenter couldn't help but be a little frustrated.

He didn't suffer because of his previous struggles, but because he thought that his hard work couldn't be put on the stage, so he felt lost. For this reason, he sent scripts to many film companies, but unfortunately there was no response.

In another time and space, John. Carpenter finally scraped together the money a few months later, and then made a movie, and after its release, he earned more than 30 million dollars. Carpenter invested in many horror films, and eventually became known as the father of horror films.

But in this plane, John. Carpenter's fate changed.

It's not, John. Carpenter was writing at home to earn extra money when the phone rang.

Pick up the phone, "Mr. John, is it?" Hello, I'm here for MSI Films, the original Giant Lion Films! The movie script "Halloween" you mailed has passed the first round of review by our company, please come to our company as soon as possible to discuss the follow-up matters. ”

“YES!” After hanging up the phone, John. Carpenter couldn't help but cry with joy and tears.

There are always film companies that want their own scripts, and they don't have to work hard to raise money. Although he said that he was almost enough money, there were too many accidents during the filming, and if he ran out of money in the middle of the filming, it would be troublesome, so for the sake of insurance, it was more reliable to cooperate with the film company.

At least you don't need to think about the issue of the film's future distribution, you must know that if the film is shot and cannot find a distributor to distribute it, it will be as worthless as scrap metal.

Primordial space-time, Han. After Carpenter filmed "Moonlight Panic", because he couldn't find a distributor, no distribution company was willing to release it. Carpenter was forced to set up his own distribution company, and then went to the theater chain one by one to discuss the release issue.

Although it finally achieved a global box office of nearly 60 million, John. Carpenter also became a multimillionaire, but he knew the sadness in the middle.

John. Carpenter's matter is a small matter for Lei Weidong, as long as he sends a word, someone in the company will naturally be responsible for getting everything done.

And what Lei Weidong wants to do is to continue Taobao in the script.

In the next few days, Lei Weidong was in his own company, listening to Li Mingyu and others read the script to him, and then according to the general content, Lei Weidong was deciding whether to do it or not!

Although there are many movie scripts that Lei Weidong thinks are good, but after all, Lei Weidong doesn't know much about American movies in the 70s, so he is not sure that the script he chooses can be sold for money.

"How many scripts are there!" Lei Weidong, who listened to the script for four days, couldn't stand it anymore, it was too boring, it can be said that if it wasn't for the horror film classic "Moonlight Panic" found on the first day, Lei Weidong really wondered if he couldn't stand it on the first day, after all, he didn't need to make money from these movies now, he just made movies because of interest.

"Lei Shao, not much, there are more than 600 scripts!" Li Mingyu looked at the rest of the script and said a little weakly.

There is no way, after reading the script for several days, Li Mingyu is obviously a little exhausted now, and what makes Li Mingyu a little desperate is that because of the guarantee of "Moonlight Panic", Lei Weidong asked Jenny and others to increase the collection of horror scripts, and as a result, in just four days, MSI collected thousands of scripts.
