Chapter 224, the screening was a great success [ask for subscription]
Set sail on the cruise ship and ride the waves!
During the 60-day cruise, Hao Huan comfortably lay on the rocking chair on the top deck and blew the sea breeze, watching the men and women swimming and playing in the middle pool.
Sure enough, he didn't guess wrong!
The people who can buy tickets for this cruise ship are a group of rich second-generation and well-paid freelancers!
There are very few people over the age of 40, and basically a group of young men and women in their twenties and thirties.
An uncle like Huang Hao who came in with Hao Huan's thigh is really rare!
In addition, Wang Ye also mixed in.
This guy loves this kind of occasion the most!
Now he's playing in the pool!
made Hao Huan wonder if he had held a single man and woman dating party on the cruise ship!
Fortunately, the people who bought tickets and got on the ship were a group of rich people, so for celebrities like Hao Huan, Wang Ye and Liu Yuxi, they would not be brainless enough to circle around, and Hao Huan also sternly stated that they were not allowed to disturb them, and they were not allowed to have this kind of behavior of brainless star chasing to affect the order of the cruise ship, otherwise the next stop will be docked, and the cruise ship will be bombarded, and a ticket will be sent to let the other party get out!
So in addition to the fact that they attracted attention when they boarded the cruise ship and were cheered by many people who took photos and videos, they all treated them as ordinary tourists at other times and did not deliberately bother them.
"Boss, "The Grim Reaper" will start screening in 20 minutes, do you want to go down to watch the first show?" Wang Lexin reminded.
Hao Huan looked at his watch, but he was also interested: "Okay, then go and watch the first show!" ”
The ship has a theatre and a cinema hall with opera performances in the morning, acrobatic magic shows in the afternoon, and popular cabaret performances in the evening.
In short, the 60-day cruise trip, the program has been planned, and it can be described as a thousand strange and everything.
In the theater, the movie "Death is Coming" will be played in advance today, and all visitors can watch it for free, and in the next 60 days, all the movies made by Hao Huan and Wang Lexin will be played in turn in the theater, and as for other people's movies, they are too lazy to buy the broadcast rights.
Hao Huan looked at the gradually distant mainland on the deck, and walked down with Wang Lexin to the theater.
As a very luxurious sightseeing cruise ship, the configuration and decoration of the theater are naturally top luxury, with popcorn and various drinks available, all you can eat and drink.
Wang Lexin went to get a bucket of popcorn and two glasses of Coke, there are already a lot of people sitting in the theater, Liu Yuxi and her brother and Huang Hao and his wife have already occupied the middle position inside, after Wang Lexin and Hao Huan came in, more than half of the more than 100-seat theater has been occupied.
Obviously, there are still many people looking forward to the movie "The Grim Reaper".
Although this movie is directed by Wang Lexin, the screenwriter and producer is Hao Huan, so this is enough to represent the quality of this movie.
Besides, Wang Lexin is also a powerful director recognized by everyone! The movies she directed have not hit the street at the box office so far, and the word of mouth has been rotten!
After Hao Huan sat down, Huang Hao on the side quipped: "Didn't you watch beautiful women swimming on the deck?" Why did you come down to watch the movie? ”
"Hehe......"
Hao Huan ignored Lao Huang and said to Wang Lexin: "A week has passed, how much is the pre-sale box office of "The Grim Reaper"? ”
Wang Lexin always pays attention to the pre-sale box office, after all, this is a movie directed by her, and it is her hard work and sweat, so she watches the box office whenever she is free! When she just went to Hao Huan and asked him if he wanted to watch a movie, she watched it.
So he answered very accurately: "The current pre-sale box office is 162 million yuan, which is not very high, but this result is already very good!" ”
Truly.
For Wang Lexin, this result is really good!
For other directors of other films, this pre-sale result is simply awesome!
But for Hao Huan, he felt that this was all a street fight!
After all, his start was too high!
So this kind of tepid starting box office, he is indifferent to it now, and he feels that there is no passion.
After 10 minutes, the movie starts playing.
In this "Death is Coming", Wang Lexin shot the 3D version, so the viewing effect and special effects are more comfortable and realistic.
Wang Lexin handled some thrilling scenes in the movie very well, and the post-production, now the technical level of Red Ear Film and Television Company can almost be said to be second to none in China.
In addition, Hao Huan is guiding and teaching everyone the production tutorial of five-star special effects, so the special effects production of "Death is Coming" has brought an incomparable visual feast to the audience!
This suspenseful thriller movie doesn't have that kind of intuitive thriller picture, but for the audience, the most terrible fear is the unknown!
You know you're going to die, but you don't know when you're going to die or in what form?
This is what attracts the audience the most about suspense thriller movies!
At the same time, it is also the reason why many people dare not watch this kind of movie, which is why suspense and thriller movies are so niche.
According to the original script, there are more bloody scenes in this movie, but Hao Huan is not the kind of director who likes bloody scenes, and he doesn't like to use bloody and terrifying scenes to stimulate the audience, so there are not many bloody scenes in the script he adapted, and Wang Lexin did not shoot the kind of bloody scenes that make people feel frightened and disgusting.
But throughout the whole process, the audience watched it tense and nervous!
Unknown fears, unknown dangers, psychological foils, environmental foils, etc., these places can create a good atmosphere of horror.
Hao Huan's personal favorite is this feeling of being extremely scary!
So intuitively, the movie that directly came out with a thriller picture, he felt a little bored.
People with a bad heart are most likely to be frightened by this kind of picture!
This is the case with previous suspense thriller movies, as well as those ghost movies on the bad streets! As the background sound of panic and depression sounds, and then a grimace suddenly appears, and a terrifying scream is heard, which startles the audience unexpectedly.
Hao Huan watched a lot of this kind of movie when he was a child.
So after watching too much, he can guess when this kind of boring thriller will come out.
This is also the reason why suspense thriller movies have no new ideas and are becoming more and more niche, so they have even been banned in China.
In this regard, Hao Huan actually supports it, because banning this kind of vulgar and boring thriller movie is really too deserved, first of all, the movie is not good-looking, and secondly, this kind of setting that suddenly appears to scare the audience with a thriller scene is very brain-dead and boring, even if he has a big heart, he was scared when he was a child, and he was said to be those timid and small-hearted audiences.
It's normal to accidentally scare someone to death.
And the suspense thriller movies he made will not be like this, because his style is this intuitive horror atmosphere, the audience only needs to see the progress of the plot, they will follow the plot to think, and feel the suspenseful and thrilling atmosphere from thinking.
"Death is Coming", this movie Wang Lexin also filmed the taste of Hao Huan, quite a kind of tension and panic like "Chainsaw 1".
The desire to live and fight against death.
This is the theme of the movie, after the audience is substituted into the role, this strong sense of substitution, and the direction of the plot can make them feel immersive.
Born from the heart!
Fear comes from the heart!
Watching the movie, there is no frightening picture visually, but after the plot has been carefully absorbed in the heart, it makes people feel panic when they think about it.
Unknowingly, after the broadcast of "The Grim Reaper" was played, Hao Huan nodded with satisfaction and said to Wang Lexin: "Not bad! ”
Wang Lexin was stunned at first, and then said excitedly: "I didn't smash it this time?" ”
"Nope! Very good shot! ”
Hao Huan is no longer pretending, it's time to give this stupid pig a little encouragement, after all, it is not easy for her to shoot like this, in addition to having a certain directorial talent, her efforts must not be ignored.
Hao Huan didn't watch Wang Lexin's filming of "The Grim Reaper is Coming", but he knew that Wang Lexin must be working very hard and seriously to make this movie, after all, this is a movie that wants to take the international route, so the requirements are stricter.
For Wang Lexin, this is a truly global film in her directorial career!
Although "Saw 2" is also a movie released worldwide, and the global box office has achieved good results in the end, but this is because of the popularity of "Saw 1", so the box office will be so ideal abroad.
Therefore, the success of "Saw 2" has a big factor with Hao Huan, and this "Death is Coming" is different, although Hao Huan is still a screenwriter, but Wang Lexin, as the chief director, plays the biggest role, otherwise if you change to other directors to shoot, then even if it is a good script, it can make you a bad movie.
This must be praised by Wang Lexin!
Hao Huan said: "According to the quality of this movie, the box office should be good!" ”
There were many people, and Hao Huan didn't praise too much.
Otherwise, Liu Yuxi and Huang Hao would definitely stare at him with a strange gaze, especially Huang Hao, this old thing must not have any good intentions.
Wang Lexin heard Hao Huan say this, but she was so happy in her heart, since Hao Huan said that the box office should be good, it can be regarded as a reassuring pill for her.
Because she is afraid that the box office will not be ideal now!
Although Hao Huan said that her goal this time is to have a global box office of 2 billion yuan, the box office of 2 billion yuan is just a return to the cost for Hao Huan!
This movie is the most expensive movie Wang Lexin has ever made, Hao Huan gave 300 million yuan as the production cost, plus the cost of publicity and publicity, the total cost of this movie has exceeded 400 million yuan.
According to the box office share that Hao Huan can get, this movie needs at least 1.5 billion box office to make a profit, and 2 billion box office is still very little money for Hao Huan.
Each of the movies she made in the past can make Hao Huan earn at least hundreds of millions of yuan, and the most powerful ones can make Hao Huan earn more than ten or two billion, so this one, no matter what, she has to have a box office of 3 billion to be at ease and satisfied.
So she asked Hao Huan: "Boss, then how much do you say the box office can have?" ”
She still wants to take another reassuring pill!
Hao Huan said: "Let's base the 4 billion box office!" ”
Wang Lexin grinned: "Really? If only there were so many box offices! That's more than double the box office target you've previously proposed! ”
Hao Huan walked out of the theater and said: "This is a passing result, and the excellent result should be more than 5 billion box office in the world!" So, your current directing ability is not good enough! ”
Liu Yuxi smiled bitterly: "You are too demanding of her now!" This movie can have a box office of 2 billion, which is already very good! She is not a professional director, she has only been learning directing with you for two years, so many directors who have come out of the professional class have not had a box office of 2 billion after making movies for more than ten years, and it is already rare for her to make so many box office blockbuster movies in two years! ”
Hao Huan really thinks so in his heart, it is really rare for Wang Lexin to make a movie with such a high box office!
She hasn't made a movie that loses money in so long!
And all the movies plus the profit of a movie drama have already made Hao Huan earn tens of billions of yuan!
And that's just two years!
Of course, strictness is inevitable, after Hao Huan praised Wang Lexin, he still said seriously: "People either progress or regress!" She still has a lot of room for improvement, if she is not strict, she will already float to the sky! ”
"How can there be ......?"
Wang Lexin said aggrievedly, but seriously, she was indeed a little floating.
But thinking that Hao Huan has already made two movies with a global box office of more than 10 billion, she feels that Hao Huan should be strict with herself.
She also wants to make a movie with such a high box office, and Hao Huan said that she still has a lot of room for improvement, so her next goal is to move towards the global box office of 10 billion!
Now "The Grim Reaper is Coming", judging from Hao Huan's evaluation and analysis, it is impossible for the global box office to have 10 billion, and it is still far from 10 billion!
This is the director gap between her and Hao Huan!
Huang Gao sympathized: "Wang girl, you have to resist him!" There are so many directors in China, except for Hao Huan, you will soon be the second big director in the total box office! So you have the confidence to scare him! ”
Hao Huan smiled: "She has to have the guts!" ”
Wang Lexin rolled her eyes: "Why should I resist!" The boss is right, I do have a lot of room for improvement......"
It's hopeless......
Huang Hao and Liu Yuxi suddenly felt that Wang Lexin was really hopeless!
They really want to have an assistant like Wang Lexin who earns so much money for the boss and still works hard!
It's a pity that this guy is like a pig and doesn't open his mind!
Forget it, don't talk about her!
She fattened herself by herself, and then took the initiative to climb the chopping board, willingly letting Hao Huanzai rhythm!
However, Wang Lexin's success is inseparable from Hao Huan's resources and cultivation, so it is understandable to work hard and complain.
And there are really not many employee assistants who know Entu Bao these years, and Hao Huan can have an assistant with the attribute of a lucky cat like Wang Lexin, and they can only be envious and jealous.
