There is an old saying that three years old looks old.

Let's not say whether this sentence is right or not, at least in the film industry, some of the answers to whether the film sells or not, are not very applicable.

In terms of the annual box office, the latent premiere box office is not good, this is because of the horror film classification, R rating, and the reason why Fang Yu and Wen Ziren are not the top of Hollywood.

But through the word-of-mouth and high praise in the industry, "Latent" has successfully attracted the attention of a large number of movie lovers.

Major theater chains have also begun to continue to exert their efforts, increasing the number of "Latent" screenings, and the number of people who go to the cinema to watch movies because of Amway has gradually increased.

At present, the mainland has not yet developed the habit of going to the cinema every once in a while to watch a movie, and for people in North America, going to the cinema to watch a movie once a week is a very normal leisure and entertainment activity.

A ticket is only a few dollars, and you can send Coke popcorn, take 10,000 steps back, and find a place to blow the air conditioner for two hours is worth the ticket price, not to mention that there is still a word-of-mouth explosion lurking in the theater, and for a while, the big guys in the industry have set their eyes on this horror film.

Compared with China, the genre of horror films on the foreigner's side is actually a blockbuster category, stronger than hypnotic dramas, weaker than action movies, basically at the same level as spoof films and comedy films, with a large audience, most of them are audiences in the afternoon and midnight scenes, and it is very comfortable to walk on the dim road home after watching such a sour movie at night, and it is difficult to refuse.

Seeing that Stephen Fang's work was so popular, some of the top executives of the mummy's creative team and Universal Pictures who opposed it collectively closed their mouths.

The production and distribution of the whole film was latent, with a total cost of $9.9 million.

The cost is less than 10 million US dollars, and it is very explosive to look at the entire Hollywood movie!

The project approval of major film companies is a production cost of 350 million at every turn, as if the film will be uncomfortable if it does not invest hundreds of millions of RMB.

It's just about investing money, and you often can't get back the money you invest, no matter what kind of popular actor you are, as long as you shoot it sparsely, how much money you invest is in vain.

Look at Fang Yu again, when he first arrived in Hollywood, a ghost film record, with his image of a yellow-skinned male protagonist, kicked open the closed door of Hollywood.

followed by an original "Resident Evil", which directly slapped Hollywood director Paul Anderson in the face, educated him fiercely, told him what it means to get a big IP, and let Paul Anderson know why he got the evaluation of making a bunch of with good materials.

The third Stephen Fang and Wen Ziren's another masterpiece "Latent" was released, which convinced Fang Yu in the industry!

A new generation of horror masters!

Today's Fang Yu, in the eyes of the film company, is a walking cash cow!

Even if one or two movies are profitable, Stephen Fang's films are "low-cost" and high-return.

Getting his contract is equivalent to saying that the money has been credited to the account!

By this time, the snot bubbles of the big boss of Universal Pictures are about to come out!

Looking for actors, I found Stephen Fang.

He disliked the bad script and changed the plot.

Three or four million dollars, look at it now, that's really a bargain! Even if this money is just to pay Stephen Fang's actor fees, it is already cheap, not to mention that Stephen Fang has also become the co-producer and screenwriter of the Tomb of the Three Dragon Emperors of Mummy!

It's worth the money!

The money is less, and the bosses and shareholders of Universal are very happy.

The money was less, and Fang Yu didn't feel that he had suffered a loss.

In fact, the person has always been that person, but after a long time, it has given him more opportunities to prove himself.

In the eyes of the world, Stephen Fang, who was picked up, did not show dissatisfaction with the current remuneration.

On the contrary, contrary to the expectations of Universal and the mummy crew, Fang Yu not only did not touch the fish, but also ran around the set of the tomb of the Three Dragon Emperors of the mummy in northern Shaanxi every day, and he was very attentive to the construction of the scene, the creation of props, etc., even the details of the funeral goods!

After hearing Stephen Fang's dedication, several big bosses of Universal Pictures were collectively moved!

Such a talent, the character is so good! Who doesn't praise him?

As a result, the right to speak of the mummy crew is getting closer and closer to Fang Yu's side

"Increase investment in the scene, this scene must be true, the Dragon Emperor is not a down-and-out nobleman, he is the first emperor to open the world, the real Mausoleum of the First Qin Emperor covers fifty-six square kilometers, the scene of one of our factories is just the size of a few utility rooms of the majestic underground imperial mausoleum, it was originally a tiger painting cat, if it is not strengthened in the details, then we don't have to carry on this film!"

As soon as Universal Pictures heard this, it immediately made additional investments! Keep raising!

If this is a handful of open-handed fried goldenrods.

Then Li Lianjie is an ace of spades.

Stephen Fang, Fang Yu is a King of spades!

The first two cards have been made clear, whether it is a royal flush or not, just need to make a last stand!

Every movie of the film company has an element of gambling, and after finally getting two trump cards, if you still have to pick and instigate and refuse to bet, then don't play, it is impossible to make a lot of money.

Under Fang Yu's deception, Universal added another $4 million for the construction of props and scenes, and Fang Yu directly negotiated with the local ZF to ask for help, and got a tomb group that is not open to the public, which is only for filming.

Fang Yu made such a big move, it was impossible for the local people not to know about it, and when he heard it, he wanted to show the world the glory of the Qin Dynasty in China, and the local people also provided a lot of help.

In particular, a team of experts formed by the old man and the old lady provided a lot of ideas for the construction of the scene and the production of props.

The cost of nearly 10 million US dollars was smashed, Fang Yu was no longer building a scene, he really regarded it as an imperial mausoleum that was thousands of years late, fell out of the team, and missed the construction period.

Fang Yu's generosity has successfully attracted the attention of the leaders, and basically every once in a while he will come to "inspect" and praise Fang Yu's work attitude, this is because Fang Yu is promoting Chinese culture, and the second is because the cost of 10 million US dollars is smashed, and the world can't bring it back to China! When the time comes, it's all left! It is also a benefit to the local tourism industry.

Fang Yu, who had already entered the official field of vision because of the wave of public welfare donations from the God of Medicine, was directly rooted in Miao Qi because of the three mummies this time! As long as he doesn't die, he is the favorite star of the post-80s!

The domestic situation is very good, and the foreign lurking is about to be released.

The spiritual sequel to the ghost film - "Latent" North American box office, $145 million!

successfully squeezed out the box office "Magic Remote", which ranked 137 million in the 13th North American box office chart in 06.

"Latent" successfully entered the top 20 of the annual box office in North America! It became the highest-grossing horror movie in North America in 2006!

Now, Brother Kai is going to be sour again~
