Leaving the screening room, Ryan and the others returned to Star Brokerage.

"Outside of production, distribution is the most critical part of a film. Ryan sighed.

Whether in a past life or in this life, the distribution of films is a problem.

"However, that's the case with Hollywood. ”

"Whether it is a small-scale screening, a large-scale release, or a direct offline distribution of videotapes, or the sale of various copyrights, publicity, etc., it is inseparable from the distribution company. Helen said lightly.

Sofia Coppola shrugged her shoulders and said, "Whoever makes the distribution company is the top of Hollywood, sometimes even takes 40 percent of the income from the producers." ”

Of course, she was exaggerating.

Hollywood distribution companies have always watched people take a cut, unless it is a foreign film or a film owned by the same group, otherwise it basically does not reach a 40% commission.

The former is to make more profits, while the latter is to minimize the profitability of the financier.

Many films are released and sold well, but as a film financier, they make little profit, and even have a paper loss.

Hollywood's financial calculation rules have never been bottomless, especially for overseas investments.

"Let's think about what to do with those vampires in the afternoon, and hopefully have a good outcome. Ryan said

Although he didn't have much hope for it.

He is not worried at all about whether "Chainsaw" can be released, the only thing he is worried about is the sharing distribution, whether there will be a distribution company willing to accept the sharing distribution, and the sharing distribution agreement that is not so harsh.

That's what worries him the most.

After a brief lunch at noon, the three of them drove away from the Star Agency.

This time, instead of borrowing Lucasfilm's projection room, he went straight to the headquarters of Twentieth Century Fox.

As soon as he entered the door, Ryan saw Camelot Singer at a glance, and before he could meet him, Camelot Singer came first.

"Mr. Ryan, I didn't expect us to meet again so soon. ”

"Listen to Helen, this time it's a horror movie?" Camelot Singer is enthusiastic.

Even though the box office share agreement of the previous film was quite complaining within Twentieth Century Fox, he did not show it in the slightest.

However, when he mentioned Helen, his tone was obvious.

"Hello Mr. Camelot, it's a horror movie. Ryan said very calmly.

"Excellent type. ”

"I hope you can surprise me again. "Camelot Singer doesn't have any politeness and gets straight to the point.

Ryan naturally wouldn't refuse, and when several people went upstairs together, they came to a not very large screening room, Sophia came to the back of the projector with a copy, and operated it herself, and after a while, light gradually appeared on the screen.

For a time, all the Twentieth Century Fox personnel in the screening room, including Camelot Singh, had their eyes on the screen.

Ryan may be in obscurity for the time being, but everyone knows very well what kind of miracle his last film created, enough to go down in Hollywood history, and no one can take it lightly.

Underestimate a North American box office of more than 100 million US dollars, global box office of more than 200 million US dollars, as an investor, producer, director, screenwriter, publicity planner?

Hollywood will never appear, this kind of bloody scene.

The plot of the film begins to unfold, and a trace of fear cannot help but arise in the screening room.

With the appearance of blood, severed limbs, cracked jaws, and so on, Camelot Singer couldn't help but feel his heart racing and feeling creepy.

Many people couldn't help but subconsciously turn around, as if they glanced at Ryan, wanting to explore what kind of pervert can be filmed, such a horror movie.

What is unbelievable is that it seems that the last work of the film director has just broken 100 million US dollars in North America.

The more terrifying it is, the more it shows that this is a very wonderful horror movie.

If even the audience doesn't feel scary, then as a horror film, it will undoubtedly be doomed.

Camelot Singer nodded secretly, a refreshing horror film that may even change the development of horror films in North America from now on.

I have to admit that this film is indeed scary enough, and it is very different from traditional horror films.

The interlocking plots, unexpected traps, the darkest side of human nature, and the real murderer that makes people think hard are like a suspense movie, often unexpected, but not far-fetched.

There are many plots in the film that can even be watched repeatedly.

Don't underestimate this, it can attract many audiences to watch the movie a second time, and it is also beneficial to the distribution of offline videotapes.

"A very good B-grade horror film. Camelot Singer muttered to herself in an inaudible voice.

As for NC-17!

Twentieth Century Fox doesn't have NC-17 in his eyes at all, and if it weren't for the excessive blood and violence in the film, it could have become PG-13.

That's the strength of Hollywood's seven major studios.

At this time, the scene on the screen changed, and the nurse who had been thought to be was not the culprit.

Inside the secret room, the corpse that had died a long time ago stood up again, looking very weak, but showing extremely resolute eyes.

Next, the police detective suddenly said, "The murderer seems to like to appreciate his masterpiece up close", which made everyone suddenly realize that the murderer was close at hand.

Without waiting for everyone to come back to their senses, the stand-up saw that appeared at the end of the film was like icing on the cake, "Chainsaw" is not the end, it is just the beginning.

Collet-Singer's heart suddenly tightened, if this film is released at the box office, it can continue to be filmed, and it will become a series like "Star Wars", and there has never been much investment in horror films.

In this case, the value of the current "Chainsaw" will be very amazing.

Series of films has always been a powerful tool for major Hollywood film companies.

It is conceivable that once it is in the bag, I am afraid that the benefits in the future will far exceed that of "Blair the Witch".

However, when his eyes fell on Helen, he couldn't help frowning, this beautiful female agent, he had already seen it last time, and it was not so easy to buy all the copyrights of "Chainsaw".

As the lights came on in the screening room, Camelot Singer was already pondering how to pocket it for a while.

It's best to buy all the rights together like the previous film, and the price can be slightly increased.

Most of the others were also lost in thought, and if Ryan's last film was crude and rudimentary, the publicity plan was amazing.

Then the plot of the film in front of me is very amazing, and it is the best publicity in itself.

Especially at the end of the film, it's just fantastic, if you follow the Oriental parlance, it's completely the finishing touch.

Of course, the investment in "Saw Horror" is only more than one million dollars, and the filming time is only thirteen days, so it is inevitable that there will be some minor problems.

But what horror movie is not like this!

For horror films, the production cost of "Chainsaw" is not low, not to mention the plot of the film itself, which can completely cover up some small flaws.
