prodigal director

Chapter 170 Successful completion

In the morning, a new day comes.

"Chain Saw 2" was released globally and at the same time. Now it has just been released for 24 hours, and the domestic box office has reached 1.3 million. For the domestic film market, it can be regarded as truly opening the door to suspense and thriller movies.

And this door was opened by Hao Huan.

Even though "Saw 2" is a work directed by Wang Lexin, many viewers bought movie tickets to watch this movie because of "Saw 1" filmed by Hao Huan.

So many viewers even overlooked that the director is actually Wang Lexin, not Hao Huan.

But after this time, Wang Lexin's reputation in the film and television industry cannot be underestimated. When people mention her, they will not think that she is just Hao Huan's assistant.

First, "Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai" with such a high ratings, then "Happy Ghost" with a box office of 11 billion, and now "Chain Saw 2" with a box office of over [-] million on the day of its premiere. The work is enough to prove Wang Lexin's director ability and level.

Although Hao Huan didn't praise her bluntly, he was really relieved in his heart. Wang Lexin's ability to make a good movie is similar to how a sow can climb a tree in his opinion.

What surprised him now was that this sow could really climb a tree!

"Yes, the 24-hour North American box office is 1.9 million yuan, which should exceed the 16 billion box office of "Orphan Grudge"."

Hao Huan was lying alone on the bed in the room of the cruise ship, staring at the tablet and talking to himself.At the beginning, "Orphan's Grudge" earned 16 billion box office in North America, it was because of too much advertising, but "Chain Saw 2" is different, this movie did not invest too much in advertising in the North American market, the reason why it premiered well , mostly because of the popularity of "Chain Saw 1" on foreign movie websites.

Therefore, the advantages of sequel movies in this regard are reflected.

Just like "Cracks in Time and Space 3", because the first two films have accumulated a lot of popularity, this film does not need to invest too much in advertising when it is released in China, and it can directly reap a lot of box office.

Today, "Cracks in Time and Space 3", which was released on the same day as "Infernal Affairs", has also extended its screening time. This movie has already won a box office of 21 billion yuan in Longguo.

In North America and other countries and regions, the cumulative box office of "Risk in Time and Space 3" has exceeded 60 billion yuan. Now that "Risk in Time and Space 3" has been released for 37 days, the global box office has reached 82 billion. "It's a bit unsatisfactory, because this movie has the confidence to earn more than 3 billion in the global box office from the beginning.

As a result, every time Longguo, the largest film market, suddenly burst into a dark horse, it directly affected the screening rate and box office of "Cracks in Time and Space 3" in Longguo.

Therefore, even if the screening is extended for two or three months, it will be difficult for "Cracks in Time and Space 3" to break through the 100 billion global box office.

Hao Huan looked at the movie score of "Chain Saw 2" on the ticketing software.

With a score of 9.2, this is the second-highest-scoring movie among the movies released in the summer vacation except "Infernal Affairs".

Under the comments, many of them are five-star reviews.

"The spring of domestic suspense movies is here! Hao Huan is really going to create a golden age of suspense movies!"

"The category of suspense and thriller really dissuades the audience! If I hadn't watched "Chain Saw 1" and thought the movie wasn't that scary, I wouldn't have dared to watch the second one!"

"After watching the easter eggs and subtitles at the end of the movie, I realized that the director was not Hao Huan, but his female assistant! This really shocked me! I didn't expect that Hao Huan's assistant could direct such a wonderful and exciting movie. !"

"I think this movie should be renamed "Escape from the Jedi". It has nothing to do with the chainsaw at all, but the name doesn't matter. The movie is really good, and the level of horror is nothing. I like a line in the movie. , the real horror is not the escape game, but the player's heart."

……

Looking at the film reviews, Hao Huan sighed in his heart. The success of the story of "Chain Saw 2" shows that there is no problem with his rewritten script.

Modify some bloody and brutal killing stories, and change the killing game into an escape game. In this way, 9% of the bloody and terrifying story scenes are removed.

The audience's ability to accept this movie will be much greater. Otherwise, if it is filmed according to the original script, it will be banned in China, and not many audiences abroad will dare to watch such a bloody and terrifying movie.

Furthermore, in the story of "Chainsaw 2" adapted by Hao Huan, Jigsaw's purpose of letting people experience the value of life is truly implemented, instead of killing everyone under the guise of this.

In this regard, he thinks that he has changed very well.It is precisely because he did not use the script of the original work, but wrote a script that he thinks is better, so "Chain Saw 2" can be completely reviewed and released in China, so that so many viewers can buy movie tickets to watch "Chain Saw 2" Cry [-], otherwise the whole story is full of bloody violence, cruel and terrifying killing scenes, even if this movie can pass the screening, not many audiences will go to the theater to watch it.

Hao Huan estimated: "The North American box office is about 2 million yuan a day. If the box office is soaring because of the good word-of-mouth ratings, then the North American market can get at least 20 billion yuan in the box office! The funny thing is that this stupid pig doesn't want to take a share of the box office." , so this movie, I can earn hundreds of millions without doing anything, if the box office exceeds 30 billion, then I can earn 10 billion just lying down!"

Thinking about it, this money is quite easy to earn!

Hao Huan laughed. He has now recognized Wang Lexin's director ability. Although he always likes to call Wang Lexin a stupid pig, except for the occasional stupidity, Wang Lexin can indeed be described as ice and snow smart at other times.

As far as her gifted learning ability is concerned, if she is not smart enough, how can she suddenly evolve from a little assistant who doesn't know anything to a director who sells at the box office in just a few months?

Hao Huan felt that he had to give her some privileges and status. For example, the Red Ears Film and Television Company does not have a manager yet, so she can be named as a manager in the future, and her salary can be slightly increased.

Since she didn't dare to take the box office share, then the company will share the dividend and give her a little more year-end bonus.

Otherwise, Hao Huan always felt that he had bullied her, as if he had taken advantage of her a lot.

"Well, that's it."

Hao Huan then took a look at the box office of "Infernal Affairs". After "Saw 2" was released, it did have a significant impact on the film schedule and daily box office growth of "Infernal Affairs".

Before "Chain Saw 2" was released, there was still a daily box office increase of at least 4000 million per day, but now it is only 3000 to [-] million.

Otherwise, after one week, the box office of "Infernal Affairs" would have exceeded 60 billion!

Thinking about it, Hao Huan still regrets it a bit. If he had known about it, he would have delayed the release of "Chain Saw 2" by a week. Fortunately, his own people beat his own people, which affected the box office of "Infernal Affairs". At this juncture, he suddenly got stuck. At the box office of 59 billion yuan.

Do yourself a favor!

It doesn't matter to Hao Huan, anyway, "Infernal Affairs" has set a new box office record for domestic films, and in the next few years, it will be difficult for any director other than himself to break his record.

three days later.

The box office of "Infernal Affairs" has successfully exceeded 60 billion. While it has already set the highest box office record, it has also set the first domestic movie with a box office of more than 60 billion!

Looking around the world, there has never been a movie that can earn more than 60 billion yuan in box office in one country!
Even if it exceeds 50 billion, besides "Infernal Affairs", there is only "Decisive Battle".

Therefore, Dragon Country is indeed the country with the largest film market in the world. The film market of just one country can already compete with so many countries in North America. It can be seen how promising and rich the film industry of Dragon Country is!

……

maritime.

Hao Huan and others went out to sea on a cruise ship. In the past three days of "Cruise of Horror", Hao Huan has finished filming the special effects shots of the curtain.

And the whole crew, following Hao Huan, also enjoyed a luxurious cruise experience. After filming the film every day, after work and rest, there was no shortage of food, drink and entertainment on the cruise ship.

Moreover, everyone in the crew is indeed talented, so there is no need to find a singer, and there are concerts to listen to every day.

For this crew, filming has become a kind of enjoyment!

But they also know that they can only enjoy this kind of filming experience in this life. After filming "Cruise of Horror", it will be difficult for them to encounter this kind of experience of working and filming on a cruise ship again.

Unless Hao Huan continues to make the second and third movies, or a movie that also needs to use a cruise ship.

Therefore, they can enjoy every day they can now. According to Hao Huan's shooting efficiency, they know that this movie can be finished within a month of filming.

in the theater.

Huang Hao urged: "You also go up and sing a song for everyone! Apart from making movies, don't you have other talents?"

Hao Huan said arrogantly: "I know a lot of talents! Filmmaking is the lowest level of my talent skills. I'm afraid that if I show other talents, I will surprise you all!"

Huang Hao said: "Then go up and surprise us!"

"Not interested in!"

Hao Huan didn't bother to talk to Huang Hao, he looked at the singing and dancing crew members on the stage, he didn't expect the behind-the-scenes workers of his crew to be more talented than the other!

Some are great at playing the piano, some are good at dancing, some are good at singing, and some are particularly talented in cross talk and skits...

On the other hand, Wang Lexin was at the side.

Hao Huan suddenly complained: "Look at me, besides knowing how to do the splits, what else can you do?"

"..."

Why did I lie down and shoot me so well!
Wang Lexin asked dissatisfied: "Then what else can you do besides making movies?"

Hao Huan said seriously: "I will still scold you, punish you, and even beat you!"

Wang Lexin said: "Then I will still be scolded by you, punished by you, and even beaten by you!"

"Hey, is it true that "Chain Saw 2" won 4 million box office in 5 days after its release? How dare you talk to me like that!"

Hao Huan stretched out his hand to pinch her face, and said, "Little boy, why don't you give me some flair, you don't even know who is the boss!"

"No... I'm not floating..."

Wang Lexin was pinched in the face by Hao Huan in despair, but she didn't dare to resist.

Hao Huan let her go after pinching her twice, and said: "For the sake of the box office of "Chain Saw 2", I will let you float this time, and be careful with your attitude and tone when you talk to me next time." , no big or small, no concept of superiors and subordinates!"

"Oh……"

Wang Lexin sighed, so tired!

But let’s not say, I’ve been a little drifting lately, hehe…

"Chain Saw 2" was released for 4 days, and the domestic box office exceeded 5 million!
The box office in North America exceeded 6 million, and the box office in Southeast Asia and other developed countries combined was almost 13 million. The total box office combined was already [-] billion!

According to this box office trend, the total box office should exceed 30 billion by that time, and I can't help but be overwhelmed when I think about it!
She was secretly happy in her heart, feeling that she would be able to sit on an equal footing with Hao Huan in the future, calling them brothers and sisters!Then you can stop loving Hao Huan, and you don't have to be called a stupid pig by Hao Huan anymore!
Haha, she clapped her palms.

Just think about it!
……

After 11 days.

"Chain Saw 2" was released in China for 15 days, and the box office successfully exceeded 10 billion. Now the box office increase has been much lower. The daily box office increase in the last two days is only about 4000 million yuan. After the release, the final box office will probably be in the About 17 billion yuan.

This result really exceeded Hao Huan's expectations. A film whose production cost plus promotional funds were less than 1 million yuan has already grossed 10 billion yuan at the box office!

That is to say, Wang Lexin is still acting like a fool for so many days because the box office is too high. She has never thought about how many billions she has made for Hao Huan, nor has she thought about the box office share and rewards.

Hao Huan now looks at this unexpectedly high box office, and always feels a little bit sorry, but he also knows Wang Lexin's personality, so he knows that the reason why this stupid pig is excited and happy is because she sees that she has sold A good movie, it did not live up to Hao Huan's expectations, nor did it destroy the audience popularity accumulated by "Chain Saw 1".

At the same time, "Chain Saw 2" has been released in North America for 15 days, and the box office is higher than that in China. So far, the North American box office has earned 15 billion yuan.

This shows that suspense and thriller movies are indeed very popular in the North American market. Such a low-cost "Chain Saw 2" can earn a box office of 15 billion yuan in North America in just half a month. If this big-budget 3D movie is released in North America, it will earn at least 20 billion at the box office within half a month, right?

If "Horror Cruise" can earn 50 billion box office after its release in North America, then Hao Huan is confident that this movie can break through 100 billion!

He won't have to worry about losing the bet with his father!
100 billion box office!
Thinking about Hao Huan's excitement, according to the current box office trend of "Chainsaw 2", the global box office should have a chance to reach 40 billion yuan.

Therefore, he has more confidence in the upcoming "Horror Cruise"!

In the upper left corner of the system interface, the daily quota has been accumulated to 2152 million gold coins, and when the accumulated amount reaches the filming of "Terror Cruise", there will be about 3000 million gold coins.

At that time, the director training camp will start, and a four-star special effects tutorial will be unlocked in the [Special Effects Editing] training for learning. By then, the deep sea and storm special effects of "Terror Cruise" will definitely shock the audience!

Coupled with 3D visual effects, it will definitely make the audience feel immersive!
Hao Huan was looking forward to it while filming the movie very seriously.

In this way, half a month passed, busy, busy...

On the 36th day after filming started, "Cruise of Horrors" finally finished successfully!
