Zhou Yutang is busy with the promotion of the movie, and the publicity work of another movie "The Conjuring" cooperated with the new line has been carried out in the final stage.

used Warner's resources, and the overwhelming press release caused a lot of discussion there.

"Reality is reality, movies are movies, they can't be mixed up, that kid from the East, maybe after the success of "Human Removal Plan", he was a little overconfident, such crazy publicity, in my opinion, the box office of "The Conjuring" will definitely not exceed 30 million."

"The promotion mode of "The Conjuring" may stimulate some audiences to enter the cinema, but the box office of the movie still depends on the reputation of the movie itself, and I am not optimistic about this work."

"'Human Eradication' is a rare and amazing work, and Zhou won the Silver Bear for Best Director in Berlin this year, he is the screenwriter of 'The Conjuring', and with James Wing directing it, I am looking forward to this film."

"There's nothing to look forward to, just wait, the reality will tell that Oriental kid that this is Hollywood, the sacred temple of the entertainment industry, not a place where he can play."

Zou Zhongyan gave a detailed report on the publicity work of "The Conjuring".

For the past half century, the Warrens, the protagonists of the movie, have been considered the most outstanding experts in the field of paranormal phenomena and demons in the United States and even the world.

They are often called by the Church to control local outbreaks of evil spirits.

In the past few decades, a large number of textual, video, and photographic materials have been left behind.

A moving table, a moving doll, an alarm clock with the time changed, a priest who is possessed.

The real-world Warrens live in the United States, their husband died in 06, and Mrs. Warren lives alone.

The biggest breaking point of the "Conjuring" movie is that every story in the movie has a realistic prototype.

Even the trailer brought Mrs. Warren to the stage, making the film look more realistic.

Based on this real sense of excitement, many people are very interested in "The Conjuring", but there is also no shortage of disparaging and smearing words.

Although Warner is strong, it is not a one-handed cover, and the other competitors are not vegetarians.

Many industry insiders in North America are very disgusted by the crazy marketing promotion of "The Conjuring", and before the movie is released, they fiercely criticize and suppress it.

Zhou Yutang went out over the wall and looked through some of the messages under the trailer, looking calm.

I'm not afraid of people spraying, I'm afraid that there will be no exposure.

For now, the audience's anticipation is high.

Excellent movie quality, plus binding real events to make marketing explosions.

He can't wait to see how the film performs at the box office.

Zhou Yutang received the news when Gao Yuanyuan's house was sleeping.

After "Search", Da Meiyuan completely consolidated her position as the top Dahuadan, and received many top business announcements in one go.

During this period, Zhou Yutang was also very busy, and the two did not meet after the roadshow.

Da Meiyuan had just returned to Beijing, and with a direct phone call, the sweet and soft sentence "I miss you" made Zhou Yutang a little irresistible.

I'm not afraid of my sister playing ambiguous, I'm afraid that my sister will be thirty years old.

What's more, it is Gao Yuanyuan, who is in her thirties and is at the peak of her appearance.

This time, as soon as the golden wind and jade dew met, it was the dry firewood that met the fire, and it was a little ruthless last night, and the beautiful Yuan Begonia had not gotten up for a long time in the spring, Zhou Yutang deliberately hung up the phone, got up and went to the outside of the bedroom to call back again.

Because of the time difference between the two sides, it's almost noon here, and it's still midnight there.

"Yu Tang, do you know, the premiere box office is out!"

Zou Zhongyan's voice was full of irrepressible excitement: "2,983 theaters opened, and "The Conjuring" won $19.5 million on the first day, topping the box office list here. ”

"Sister Zou, you won't stay asleep all the time, will you?"

"Hmm."

Zou Zhongyan said with a smile: "I brushed up on the box office data for a day, and I couldn't sleep at all when I docked with the people in the new line." ”

"I didn't sleep much, either."

Zhou Yutang glanced at the direction of the bedroom.

Last night, it took a lot of effort to settle Da Meiyuan.

After talking about the work arrangement over there, Zhou Yutang took a sip of water and said leisurely: "It's a good start, let's take a look at it next." ”

The premiere results are gratifying, but it's important to look at the box office for the three days of the weekend, which is about the potential of the film.

Even Liu Yifei was paying attention to this matter, and when the two of them were on the variety show together, Miss Xiao Liu asked curiously: "Xiao Zhou, the horror film "The Conjuring" that you cooperated with the new line company seems to be very good at the box office." ”

"Generally average, it's just topping the single-day box office list in North America."

"You're like this, you're very indebted, I really want to beat you."

Liu Yifei, who was stimulated by someone's Versailles, waved her small fist at Zhou Yutang.

However, she deliberately pretended to be fierce, not threatening, but coquettish and cute.

After recording the show, and freely recklessly in the car, Zhou Yutang hugged Liu Yifei's plump body and continued the topic of "The Conjuring":

"It's a pity that the mainland can't see it."

"You want to see it?"

"Uh-huh."

"Then I'll ask the publicity team to arrange a stop for "Bouquet" to be promoted on the side of the Xiangjiang River."

Zhou Yutang said with a smile: "When the time comes, we can go over there to see." ”

Just because, do I want to see it?

Liu Yifei's starry eyes flashed with surprise, and the smile on her face became brighter and brighter, as sweet as honey melting.

"Dear Zhou, we had three days of painting all weekend, and FXXK got $51.35 million!"

Bob's voice, the old white man, was full of excitement, and he sounded very elegant and easy-going: "Wait and count the money, we will make a lot of money this time!" ”

This old man usually has a good cultivation, is used to seeing the wind and clouds, and always smiles.

At this time, I really couldn't hold it, and I was so excited that I was a little incoherent.

"Bob, your heart isn't so good, take it easy."

Zhou Yutang took the phone a little farther away to avoid being shocked by Bob's roar, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth:

"Take care of your health, there are still a lot of dollars waiting for us to earn in the future."

"Zhou, you're right, I wish us a happy follow-up cooperation!"

Zhou Yutang is also looking forward to the performance of "The Conjuring".

The results did not disappoint him.

In the past few days since the movie was released, Sister Zou didn't sleep for more than three hours for several days, working at high intensity.

Soon, Zhou Yutang also received a call from Wen Ziren, and Director Wen also sighed sincerely: "Zhou, you are really a genius, congratulations to us, you have succeeded." ”

"Yes, we succeeded."

Zhou Yutang could understand Wen Ziren's excitement.

First there was the Chainsaw Horror, then there was the Conjuring.

He has been promoted to the top horror director on the Hollywood side.

And Wen Ziren's personal studio also got a small share of the film of this movie, and it really gained fame and fortune.

Of course.

Wen Ziren made a lot of money with this, and Zhou Yutang definitely didn't lose money.

Zhou Yutang has a forty percent share in his hand, and the contract signed with the new line company is clearly written.

Whether it's "Human Removal Project" or "The Conjuring", he can participate in the investment of the sequel and get a piece of the pie together.

"I think we can now talk about the rest of the story, the stories you told me."

"Take your time, Annabelle series, Ghost Nun. I can't think of anyone other than you who is better suited to be the director of this series, and together we can expand a conjuring universe. ”

"A terrific horror film with great entertainment, but also one of the most clever and heartfelt effective thrillers in recent times." - "Variety"

"The Conjuring is an excellent and effective haunted house film, and although there is almost no blood, fear is already raging." —The New York Times

Entertainment Weekly's review was: "Wen's technique is also very skillful, firmly clamping the nerves of the audience, and the way he uses to create the atmosphere and the use of sound effects that shock the audience in the film is very effective, and it is not cheap at all." What's even more amazing is Zhou, the last "Human Removal Project", he has already brought a lot of surprises to the audience, and after winning the award in Berlin this year, he brought another "The Conjuring", which is a talented young screenwriter, and Hollywood will have a place for him. ”

In addition to the outstanding box office results, "The Conjuring" also has a very good reputation, and Cinemascore, a well-known film industry research agency in the United States, gave this movie an "A-", which is a very rare evaluation.

The Rotten Tomatoes website has a positive rating of 85%, and 33 media outlets have given "The Conjuring" a comprehensive rating of 68.

You must know that similar horror films with good box office over the years have basically not received more than 60 points from the media.

The 2004 American version of "The Grudge" sold more than 100 million at the box office in the United States, with a comprehensive media evaluation of 49 points.

and the comprehensive evaluation of "Ghost Shadow", which created a blockbuster series, also has a score of 68.

Before the release of the movie, there were many so-called industry insiders who predicted that the film would not exceed $32 million at the box office in the first week.

However, reality gave them a hard slap in the face.

While "The Conjuring" topped the box office charts, it also surpassed the $42.37 million created by "Human Eradication Project" to become the highest-grossing horror film at the opening of the year, and set the best opening box office for an original horror film!

Professional box office agencies have given accurate predictions, and this horror film, with its good reputation, is very likely to fetch more than $120 million in total box office receipts, and maybe even higher.

Zhou Yutang is in China, but he has close ties with the other side of the ocean.

When the results came out, he also received a call from the old man Zou Wenhuai.

The follow-up project of "The Conjuring" has to be put on hold first, and the new line company is also preparing a sequel to "Human Removal Plan".

On the Hollywood side, a sequel to a movie means making money.

I thought that this time I was really carrying a sack to load the knife.

Zhou Yutang was rarely a little excited.

"The Conjuring" exploded in North America, and the news soon spread back to China, and several entertainment portals, including Weibo Toutiao, were all contracted by Zhou Yutang alone.

"The Conjuring Soul raises more than $50 million in three days over the weekend, with a good reputation, and is expected to break 100 million!"

"Zhou Yutang's main control project, another miracle of small-budget movies!"

"Reveal the surreal supernatural phenomena in The Conjuring for you!"

This time, the film and television companies in the circle have become numb.

If you say that you are a little blushing when you learn that Zhou Yutang is selling the copyright in Cannes, this time you can't even blush.

People stepped into Hollywood with one foot, and two movies in a row exploded.

That's really deserving of fame and fortune.
