Wang Lei was surprised by this. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

It was the first time he saw the finished film of "Midnight Bell", and it turned out that the shooting was not only no worse than the American version in his previous life, but even better than the Japanese version.

What surprised him even more was that director Brian Yoz filmed exactly according to his script, without the slightest change, even the lines were word-for-word.

Brian Yoz is said to be Chand Cohen's high school classmate, just graduated from the USC Film School's directing department, and has never directed a film except for a few short films. Therefore, he filmed very seriously, did not change the script, and shot strictly according to the script written by Wang Lei, and even the post-editing and production were done according to the simple storyboard pictures drawn by Wang Lei.

Unexpectedly, such a shooting produced the most ideal and scary effect, scaring three people at the premiere, including the high school classmate who recommended the film, and also the investor and producer of the film, Chand Cohen.

Zhou Yuqiang acted very well, I feel no worse than the Japanese version of the heroine Nanako Matsushima, compared with the American version of Naomi Watts, her acting skills may be a little inferior, but there is another charm.

As for the female ghost Sadako in the film, she was changed to a black-haired white girl by Wang Lei, the actor is only fourteen years old and has a sweet appearance, but the picture of crawling out of the TV at the end of the film has become a nightmare for almost all audiences.

I don't know if it will have an impact on her future star career.

Because of the amazing effect of "Midnight Bell" on the night of the premiere and the popularity of media reporters the next day, it is estimated that these media reporters are not willing to be frightened only and want more people to join them, so they boasted about this film in the newspapers and magazines, and boasted that this film was the most terrifying film ever made in Hollywood, surpassing "The Exorcist" and "The Shining", which were classic horror films a few years ago.

So, by the time "Midnight Bell" was officially released, almost all the 400 theaters arranged by Columbia Pictures' distribution department were full of audiences.

As a result, before Sadako could climb out of the TV, countless screams were heard again, and several timid viewers were frightened and fell unconscious on the spot.

As a last resort, Columbia Pictures' distribution department posted a line of announcement at the box office of these theaters: "Because this film is extremely terrifying and stuns many audiences, it is forbidden for timid audiences, high blood pressure, and heart disease to watch this film!" ”

As soon as such an announcement was released, more viewers were attracted.

As a result, the box office of this horror film, which cost only $8 million and was barely promoted, exceeded 20 million, and the box office rose instead of falling in the second week.

After Wang Lei's third professional boxing match, "Midnight Bell", which was released for a month, successfully exceeded 100 million at the box office in North America, becoming the highest-grossing horror film in Hollywood's history, which shocked all the eyeballs.

As a result, screenwriter Wang Lei, who has 10% of the box office share of this film, received 10 million US dollars in a blink of an eye, although after paying taxes and deducting other messy expenses, Wang Lei actually received less than 5 million US dollars, but he is still the highest-paid screenwriter in Hollywood.

After this matter was revealed by a powerful media reporter, Wang Lei successfully entered the sight of Hollywood, and aroused the envy and jealousy of countless people.

Because of this horror film, when Wang Lei went to Las Vegas again on January 21, 87 to fight his third professional boxing match, more than 20,000 viewers came to buy tickets to watch the fight.

Most of these audiences are not boxing fans, but movie fans, and they are here for the screenwriter of "Midnight Bell". They were curious about what the screenwriter who created the scariest horror movie Hollywood has ever seen was like.

The result was a seventeen-and-a-half-year-old Chinese teenager who threw ferocious punches that knocked out his opponent, Jerry Pegg, the ultra-lightweight gold medalist at the '84 Los Angeles Olympics, for his third career knockout victory in just one round and 30 seconds.

These fans who originally didn't watch boxing matches were instantly fascinated by Wang Lei's charming demeanor and unique boxing style, and transformed from fans who knew almost nothing about boxing to fans of Wang Lei.

So, Bob Arum began to be distressed.

He found that Wang Lei's popularity was growing too fast, and he was too profitable, and the appearance fee of 50,000 US dollars was obviously not worth his value.

After negotiation, Arum doubled Wang Lei's appearance fee for the fourth game again to $100,000.

Wang Lei's fourth professional bout is on February 16 against a British fighter named Herol Graham, who currently has a record of 11-12 and 1-7 KOs, ranking 62nd among WBC welterweight fighters.

In other words, as long as Wang Lei beats this Gerrol Graham, he will enter the top 60 in the WBC welterweight rankings.

As Wang's opponent, Geraham is ranked much higher in the WBC than Wang Lei, who has only played three professional fights, but his appearance fee is less than half of Wang's.

Even if Herol Graham is not convinced, who makes his reputation inferior to Wang Lei!

This was supposed to be a good arrangement, but in February, things went wrong.

After a month and a half of publication, Wang Lei's science fiction novel "Jurassic Park" entered the top 10 of the New York Times' best-selling list.

This novel Wang Lei was completely handed over to Zhou Yuqiang to negotiate with the people of the publishing house, and Zhou Yuqiang did not live up to his expectations, relying on the eloquence he had practiced at Harvard Law School, and got him a 12% publishing royalty contract.

As a result, after the novel was published, it was only a month and a half, and Wang Lei gained more than two million US dollars, and his fame also increased again.

It is worth mentioning that after the fire of "Midnight Bell", Chand Cohen, who was frightened by the film at the premiere, became interested in investing in the film, and after discussing with Wang Lei through Zhou Yuqiang, he got a movie script written by Wang Lei.

Not a horror film, but a science fiction film with the title "Butterfly Effect".

Chand Cohen still didn't pay Wang Lei a penny, but let Wang Lei get a 10% share of the box office.

Bob Arum is numb!

The appearance fee of a professional fighter is not determined by how strong the fighter is or how good his record is, but by how popular he is, how many viewers he can attract to buy tickets, or how much he can increase the TV ratings.

With Wang Lei's Chinese identity and popularity, the audience he can attract has surpassed the average boxing champion.

The appearance fee of 100,000 US dollars is obviously too low!

Fortunately, Wang Lei was very generous, didn't care about the appearance fee at all, and honestly finished the fourth game and won the KO again.

However, in the fifth game, even if Wang Lei still doesn't care about the appearance fee of 100,000 US dollars, Sadler will not agree.

And Sadler was also dissatisfied with Wang Lei's opponent in the fifth game.

After discussing with Arum, Wang Lei's appearance fee for the fifth game rose to $200,000, and the opponent was changed again.

While it's still a four-round mat bout between Shug Ray Leonard and Marvin Hagler, Wang's opponent is WBC welterweight No. 20 and "Canada's Golden Boy" Canadian fighter Donnie Ladron.

A defeat to Donnie Ladron would see Wang enter the top 20 in the WBC welterweight rankings, and two or three fights will qualify for the title.

(Yesterday I was so busy that I broke off again.) I thought that today's Chinese New Year's Eve would be busier, but I ended up idle. So I hurriedly coded the words and coded out three chapters in one go. In order to make up for yesterday's, I simply sent it directly in one breath, wishing everyone a New Year's greeting, and please continue to support this book. As for whether it can be updated on the first day of the new year tomorrow, it's really hard to guarantee, I can only say that I tried my best, if I couldn't update, please forgive me! ）
