As we all know, Halloween in the United States is not only loved by children, but also by horror movie lovers.

Because at this time of year, many excellent horror movies will be released at this time, so that they have to go to several venues a day.

But they are very happy with each other, and they often discuss it in their own team.

These teams of horror movie lovers are quite formal.

Many associations not only have a name, but also pay a certain membership fee, which is used to buy all kinds of horror movie merchandise collectively - which will be cheaper.

And then there's the cost of offline gatherings, and so on.

Of course, not every horror film enthusiast association has these funds, and usually those young people who are miserable can only party in the park.

For example, Johnson and Laudrup, their association of horror movie lovers, codenamed "Flying Fork".

They are a group of college students from nearby universities, who have gradually become familiar with each other because they often go to Blockbuster to rent horror movies, so they form a group of more than 20 people.

There are both men and women, and the proportion of girls is even slightly higher than that of boys.

They were sitting on the grass in the park, discussing the two movies they had watched yesterday.

"Hey, Merry, I screamed in fear when I saw you in Professor Carol's Demons yesterday, it was so funny!"

"Isn't Johnson? When he watched "Road Horror Killer", his screams could be heard all over the movie theater. ”

"But it's really scary, especially when the killer is slowly approaching the car from the darkness...... That vibe, that thriller...... Wow, that's amazing! ”

"I prefer "Professor Carol's Demon", that villa chase and killing, I really want people to watch it again!"

"Uh-huh, me too, shall we go again today?"

"Let's go together!"

“……”

Just when everyone was jubilantly meeting, they heard a burst of laughter.

"Hahaha......"

They looked up and saw a man with blond hair and freckles standing not far away.

Laudrup immediately stood up and shouted, "Billy, you bastard! What are you laughing at? ”

This Billy is a member of another horror movie hobby association, but the people of the two associations often don't deal with each other, and every now and then there will be a scolding fight, and they will have a fight.

Everyone subconsciously knew that this Billy must have come to find fault.

Billy wasn't afraid of them, so he laughed and said, "You idiots, all you watch are outdated and bad movies, and you don't know the latest trends, the coolest horror movies!" Still there smug thinking that I had seen the best, hahaha...... Laugh to death! ”

A group of people inexplicable.

Isn't this guy crazy?

Aren't "Professor Carol's Demons" and "Highway Horror Killer" the hottest horror movies in recent times?

On the box office list of horror movies, they are the top two!

What's so good about other movies?

It's not surprising that it's either a small production, or some small company comes to fish in troubled waters.

Seeing their bewildered looks, Billy smiled unconsciously, "Okay, don't tease you old countrymen!" Check out Scream! This is the coolest and coolest horror movie! You'll thank me when you read it, but I don't need your thanks, hahaha! ”

With that, he turned and left.

The members of the Nakshatra Society looked at each other.

"Who has heard of Scream?"

"I know, it seems to be Xuluo's work, isn't it promoted at the door of many movie theaters?"

"Xuluo? Oh, I see, it's the singer of "Song of the Lazy", right? His songs are so cool! But he makes horror movies? Isn't that weird? ”

"No strange, no strange! Haven't you watched the thriller TV series "Plastic Surgery Room"? Very cool! Oops, I forgot if you didn't say it! He can do it! ”

"I also like to watch "The Plastic Surgery Room", but I didn't expect him to write horror movie scripts in addition to TV series!"

"That'...... Let's take a look? ”

"Go ahead! If it's not good-looking, I'll blow up Billy's dog's head! ”

“gogogo！”

“……”

The young man's personality is cheerful, and they immediately came to the nearest cinema to the park, which is also one of their bases.

Johnson stepped forward and said to the conductor, "Hey, Rosen, bring me 25 tickets to the Scream, the most recent one." ”

The conductor Rosen is also an acquaintance of theirs, and shook his head when he heard this: "Johnson, today's tickets are gone, why don't you buy tomorrow's?" ”

Johnson was stunned: "It's only two o'clock in the afternoon!" Shouldn't there be at least four or five more? ”

"yes, there are five more shows, but all of them are sold out." Rosen replied.

"Sold out!?"

"Yes, even the first row of tickets is sold out......," Lawson said, looking at him, "everyone else is from other places, and it is said that many places in the city are out of tickets...... If you want to see it today, go find it! But I suggest you book your tickets for tomorrow morning, or you may not have any tickets when you come tomorrow. ”

"Isn't it!?"

Seeing that Johnson had not moved, a girl who came forward heard this and said in surprise: "It shouldn't be! Is "Scream" so popular? Shouldn't the hottest ones be "Professor Carol's Demons" and "Highway Horror Killer"? ”

Rosen replied: "That was a few days ago, and now the reputation of "Scream" continues to rise, and many young people are crazy to follow it! By the way, Billy, they've been watching it for two days in a row! I also booked a ticket for tomorrow! ”

"This dog thing!

”

Johnson scolded, then turned around and discussed it with his friends.

The result of their discussion is to find another remote movie theater to see, and it will definitely not be delayed until tomorrow unless it is absolutely necessary.

Because the tickets for today's "Scream" in this cinema have been sold out, they feel that this must be a good horror movie.

As a result, they went to three movie theaters that they went to on weekdays, and all of their tickets were sold out.

Just when everyone thought that they should book a ticket for the early morning, Laudrup suddenly remembered a community movie theater twenty kilometers away, where some nostalgic old films are often shown, and middle-aged people go to it a lot, maybe there will be tickets.

Sure enough, when they arrived at the seventy-odd-odd neighborhood movie theater, there were still tickets left for a 9:30 p.m. show of "Scream."

A group of people happily bought tickets, and after dinner, they gathered in the movie theater again, waiting for the movie to begin.

"Scream" grabbed everyone's attention from the very beginning.

When Steve was brutally killed, no one felt anything, but when Casey was killed, hung on the ground, and xx fell to the ground, many people's faces changed.

As the students were killed more brutally, the shocking horror scene of flesh and blood made the movie theater full of irrepressible screams.

Until "the end" finally appeared and the lights came back on, a group of people from the Flying Fork Association looked at each other, and before they knew it, they were all covered in cold sweat.

Walking out of the movie theater, a breeze hit, and several people immediately shivered.

Then they quickly looked around, afraid that the horrible psychopathic killer would appear beside them.

"I'm sick and want to go home early!" A girl said with a pale face.

"Let's go, let's go back together...... Lily, go sleep at my house tonight, I'm scared alone! The other girl took her hand directly.

"Add me one more!"

The third girl, the fourth ...... All the girls gathered together instead, ready to stay together tonight.

The boys were naturally embarrassed to say that they were afraid, but after they returned, several of them had nightmares, sat up screaming, and never dared to sleep again.

It was only then that they knew that what Billy was saying was right.

This "Scream" is so cool, so scary!

This kind of simple, direct and crude horror film is simply the ultimate of a horror movie.

It doesn't rely on the atmosphere to attract people, but on the most terrifying and direct killings to attract people, taking the path of plasma tablets, but leaving no room for anything than all the films.

So the next afternoon, when they got together again, they couldn't help but reappear at yesterday's community movie theater while chatting.

Everyone looked at each other with the eyes of heroes and righteousness, and then walked in......

……

In fact, the actions of horror film enthusiast associations such as the Nakshatra Association are not unique.

In the entire United States, "Scream", which has no stars, no big-name directors, and is not produced by a big film and television company, quickly relied on the word-of-mouth counterattack among teenagers under the unfavorable situation of the film schedule at the beginning, and has already won the single-day box office champion on the third day.

The three-day box office was $13.43 million!

In the second week, the box office directly reached 32.25 million US dollars, ranking first at the box office!

In the third week, the box office once again rose instead of falling, reaching 34.58 million US dollars, still the first at the box office!

So far, the box office has reached $80 million in three weeks, and when it comes to the next release, it will be no problem to break through $100 million.

The audience's word-of-mouth is also very explosive.

According to the survey results, the general score is above 7.6 points, and the data collected by young people aged 18-30 is as high as 8.4 points.

With such good results, as a large video tape chain company that likes horror movies the most, Blockbuster certainly won't miss it, and directly signed a three-year $20 million licensing contract with Bubu Stitching Monster.

Look!

That's the benefit of being famous.

Previously, Blockbuster gave Bubu the first season of "Friends" and "Plastic Surgery Room", which added up to a video licensing contract of only $6 million for five years.

Now a "Scream" will cost $20 million in three years!

That's the reward for getting to the top.

If "Friends" and "Plastic Surgery Room" can reach the top of the ratings one after another, then they can also get the highest signings.

Wang Jing, who is sitting in Haolaiwu and staring at "Scream", can finally return to Hong Kong with confidence.

And he has not yet arrived in Hong Kong, and Hong Kong's entertainment newspapers and magazines have already given him the honorary title of "$100 million director".

The paparazzi blocked Wang Jing directly at the airport.

"Director Wang! Can you talk about the scene where "Scream" is now popular in North America? ”

"Brother Jing, does "Scream" have any hope of breaking $150 million?"

"Jing Ye, you are now the number one Chinese director, among the living people, only your movie broke 100 million US dollars, what do you think?"

"How much dividends will Luo Shao give you? 10 million? Or 20 million? ”

Wang Jing didn't want to answer them, and kept walking out under the escort of Yongsheng's staff.

But the paparazzi refused to let him go at all, and they didn't move when they squeezed.

After all, now that the Hong Kong entertainment industry has exploded, everyone is pursuing the hottest "Scream", and they are proud of Wang Jing, and I don't know how many people are looking forward to knowing Wang Jing's news.

Even if he farts, the reporters are willing to write it.

Seeing that fifty or sixty paparazzi were crowding the surroundings and cars, several staff members beside him hurriedly said to Wang Jing: "Brother Jing, you better say a few words, otherwise we won't be able to leave!" ”

Wang Jing had no choice but to raise his hand.

As a result, the surrounding hustle and bustle suddenly dissipated without a trace.

"I'll only answer five questions, you think about it clearly and then ask, and then spread it out for me as soon as you ask, do you have any opinions?" Wang Fatzi said majestically.

"Nope!

”

The paparazzi replied in unison.

"Okay, I'll pick someone." Wang Jing pointed to a paparazzi he was familiar with, "Shar Pei, you come first." ”

Sha Pei, who was wearing glasses, hurriedly asked: "Director Wang, how much can the final box office of "Scream" reach?" How much can you make with Luo Shao and He? ”

Wang Jing said angrily: "You have two questions! ”

Sha Pei was not afraid of him: "Answer quickly, Director Wang, don't be so stingy!" ”

Wang Jing could only say: "In the end, the box office is estimated to reach about 110 million, after all, the cycle of horror films is not very long!" As for making money, it is a very complicated calculation process, and it is estimated that Arlo should be able to earn 20 or 30 million, and I should be able to get a dividend of 5 million US dollars. ”

"...... Uproar"

Everyone present looked at Wang Jing with envious eyes.

$5 million is almost 40 million Hong Kong dollars!

In addition to Li Xiaolong more than ten years ago, and Cheng Long, who filmed "Red Fan Zone" this year, there has never been a star in Hong Kong who can get a remuneration and dividends of 40 million Hong Kong dollars, let alone a director.

The director can get two or three million for a play, which is already a very high price, and there are only a few directors with more than 5 million Hong Kong dollars, such as Xu Ke, Wu Yusen, and Wang Jing.

Now Wang Jing has gone one step further and directly took 40 million Hong Kong dollars, which is really a big deal!

What is the concept of 40 million in Hong Kong?

Many companies don't have a profit of 40 million a year.

And 40 million is enough to buy a super luxury villa on the best hilltop in Hong Kong.

In places like Repulse Bay and Deep Water Bay, you can even buy two sets!

This is a huge wealth that many people cannot dream of in their lifetime!

Wang Jing was also a little proud when he saw this.

He didn't tell these guys that the $5 million was just his director's dividend, not including the dividends of other peripheral interests.

】

Xuluo gave him a 2% peripheral equity dividend before, and Wang Jing didn't care about it originally, but now that the video tape rental has 20 million US dollars in the account, then he can get 400,000 US dollars, that is, 3 million Hong Kong dollars, isn't this equivalent to filming a movie in Hong Kong?

It is said that there are TVs, overseas copyrights, peripheral product licensing, etc., at least about 20% of the box office, so there is still about 500,000 US dollars!

To say that Aloko is really generous and a friend enough!

Immediately the second question arises.

"Brother Jing, when you were filming in the United States, did any American babes send them to the door by themselves? I've heard they're very open! ”

"They're very open-minded, but I don't really like Americans, I still like my own people." Wang Jing replied very calmly.

But the reason is definitely not that he likes Hong Kong beauties, it is purely that the difference in height and body size is too big, and he is worried that he will not be able to eat it, but he will be laughed at.

And his answer doesn't count at all, just look at the indecency of the reporters... Trivial eyes knew that they would definitely make up a special compilation when they went back later, and said that Wang Jing was Changshan Zhao Zilong, picking out American beauties alone, and fighting ten of them alone.

The third issue is more complex.

"Brother Jing, you have already had the best start in the United States, why don't you stay in the United States? Is there any contradiction between you and Luo Shao? Or does he not look down on our Hong Kong directors? ”

"What's the contradiction? We're on good terms! Wang Jing replied with a smile, "It's just that I said at the beginning that I helped him with this play, and he didn't have a play that suited me well, so I came back first...... Besides, didn't he write the two "Deer and Ding Ji" I was about to film? ”

There is also "Truant Weilong", we are going to make a trilogy and do it ourselves.

But Wang Jing will definitely not say this, and now that "The Legend of Deer and Ding" has not been completed, you say that you want to make "Truant Weilong" by yourself, isn't this a slap in the face of Yongsheng?

"Director Wang, do you think Luo Shao can make a big career in the United States? We also know that Zhou Yunfa and Cheng Long are now filming his films in the United States at the same time, is he going to really lay a foundation in Hollywood? The fourth reporter asked.

Wang Jing nodded, "Don't say anything, I don't think I'll be able to do it!" Wait and see! Maybe within ten years, a super giant that can go hand in hand with the six major groups of Hollywood will be born! ”

A group of reporters next to him laughed when they heard this.

Of course, they don't think it's possible.

How many years of struggle and hard work did the six major Hollywood companies go before they could become giants?

Not to mention that the history of other people is thirty or fifty years, and the oldest ones are more than sixty or seventy years!

Xuluo alone wants to fight with other generations and become a Haolaiwu giant?

He just made a movie, so he has such ambitions?

Did you say a TV series?

No!

It is absolutely impossible for a TV drama giant to be a Hollywood giant, if he wants to become a Hollywood giant by virtue of the success of the TV series, it is a joke!

Isn't this a pipe dream?

Well......

Daydreaming is a word that fits tomorrow's title!

Wang Jing didn't refute it when he saw this, it was best to refute them with facts, lest others say that you put gold on yourself.

Besides, he really believed that Xuluo would succeed.

Because Xuluo has never been unsuccessful since his debut.

"One last question...... Chubby, come on! ”

Wang Jing finally designated a paparazzi.

The paparazzi smiled and said, "Master Jing, I heard that you recently sent a newly signed actress to the mainland to shoot Huang Rong in "The Legend of the Withered Heroes", but Luo Shao originally designated Qiu Shuzhen, why didn't you let her go?" Are you afraid that she will be taken away by Luo Shao? ”

"Nonsense!"

Wang Jingyi said righteously, "I chose Zhu Ying because she is naturally pure and the most suitable for Huang Rong!" Doudou still has a lot of drama appointments, why did he go to the mainland and delay for more than half a year? …… You just like to talk nonsense! Walked away......"

With that, he pushed through the crowd and quickly got into the car.

No one saw it, and the moment Wang Jing sat down, his face sank.

This Qiu Doudou's utilitarianism is getting stronger and stronger!

actually released the news!

Do you think that my golden hoop stick is not powerful enough?

Gotta clean her up tonight!
