Hollywood: Great Directors Starting with Saw

Kevin took the script and read it.

What are the selling points of the American printmaking leather from Tsui Hark and the three gold medal screenwriters, which is what Kevin wants to pay attention to.

This kind of romance with a bit of a thriller.

is the American version of Qiannu Ghost, human ghost love, similar to four hundred years of horror, this peculiar box office ceiling, is far inferior to those normal movie types.

Painting the skin of this movie, Kevin is ready to give him an investment of about 20 or 30 million, reaching a box office of 50 million, and he can make a small profit.

And this, with Kevin's knowledge of Tsui Hark, is not difficult.

Tsui Hark has this strength.

The setting in the script is actually a ghost of Qiannu in disguise.

Named Painted Skin, the essence inside is actually a copy of Qiannu Ghost, of course, this is the core of the story, that is, the poignant human ghost love, and the typical tragic ending.

Externally, wrapped in some monster stories that Americans can understand.

For example, painting skin is expressed in terms of a monster that can be disguised as a beautiful woman.

The story is that the monster first fell in love with a person, and the person first fell in love with the monster because of the skin, and then was scared because of the exposure of the skin, and left the monster, and then the same kind of monster knew about it, was dissatisfied with this, wanted to kill the person, and then fell in love with the monster of the person, and chose to protect him.

Eventually the monster is killed and the human race survives.

Of course, when it comes to it, you can't really see anything.

The story is actually not complicated, just understand it as a sadomasochistic relationship between man and monster.

Specifically, or that sentence, it depends on the director's ability.

With the same outline, different novel authors can write and complete different works, one is a divine work, the other is garbage.

The same goes for movies.

The same script, a good director, can turn decay into magic and make a masterpiece.

The director of garbage, the works shot are also sparse.

"Well, the script is fine, it depends on your level."

The script is a very normal Hollywood standard rhythm script, and Tsui Hark is not unconventional in this regard.

There is nothing wrong with the plot, and the rest that affects the quality of this movie is Tsui Hark himself.

Tsui Hark nodded, without saying much.

As for the specific amount of investment, it is still up for discussion.

It's probably between 20 million and 30 million.

At present, the film projects in Sunrise Film Company are all based on the plan and script first, and then according to the use of the script, after communicating with the special effects company in advance, the amount is roughly determined, and then according to the actors to be hired.

After some stuff came down, this was finally allocated.

In the Sunrise movie, everyone except Steve Kevin has to do this process.

As for Kevin, of course, this is used to restrict the director from spending money indiscriminately, and no one said that this can limit Kevin from spending money indiscriminately.

After this process, half an hour passed.

The secretary arrived in a hurry, and Kevin arranged a specific publicity arrangement for him before letting the secretary leave.

Immediately afterwards, Tsui Hark went to the company's audit department with the script and plan to audit the plan.

After the audit, there is no problem, and the project is set up.

Wang Jing went to the publicity department to see the follow-up publicity, whether there was a need for him, and he also wanted to try whether some of his publicity routines could be used in Hollywood.

Both men left.

Kevin then went to the place where he hooked up with Nicole Kidman and continued to be happy.

····

The next day, the publicity department of Sunrise Film adjusted its next publicity strategy.

Simply put, it is an intensive promotion to movie theaters around high schools and universities.

Without that kind of indiscriminate propaganda, these greatly reduce the cost.

At the same time, the focus of propaganda is also on the edges.

Simply put, it is to use some photos of edge balls to arouse men's hormones.

These things are really attractive.

Brushing aside has always been a sell-off method for small-cost movies.

And Wang Jing is obviously very good at this kind of movie.

The fermentation of word of mouth, as well as the power of publicity.

The next day's box office, directly doubled, to the point of two million dollars.

This wave immediately made Wang Jing happy.

Even with the heroine, she began to run publicity.

Here, once again praise Wang Jing's aesthetics.

This combination of flaming red lips, big waves, and big murder, no man can resist the temptation.

Kevin also doesn't know if Wang Jing's kid plays the unspoken rules, this point, Kevin is too lazy to manage.

He himself is also a veteran, where to manage others.

For him, as long as it is under the premise of your willingness, there is no problem.

All he cared about was the film's profitability.

Movies make money, as long as they don't break the law, the rest is whatever you want.

This is the society of capital, and everything is based on making money.

You have the ability to make money, and everything else is not a problem.

Under the joint efforts of Wang Jing and the hero and heroine, the box office on the third day reached a new high.

Obtained a box office figure of $2.8 million.

In three days, it won 1.1 million, 1.05 million and 2.8 million US dollars at the box office.

The follow-up market is even more optimistic.

The theater line has taken the initiative to increase the number of films.

In this cold schedule, in fact, the theater side is running at a negative profit, and it is not easy to have such a film with good results enter the market, and the theater side is naturally very sensible.

So, on the fourth day, under the great increase in the number of films, Chasing Girls actually won a box office result of 4.4 million US dollars in one fell swoop.

The fifth day also achieved a box office score of 4.3 million US dollars.

Immediately afterwards, the decline of the chasing girl began to increase, becoming more than three million US dollars...

In this way, a month passed in a flash, chasing the girl, with a production cost of five million dollars and a publicity cost of three million dollars, successfully obtained a box office result of 38 million.

This achievement, compared with the blockbuster, is naturally not surprising.

But in small-cost movies, it is already a big profit.

Excluding costs, box office profits alone brought in nearly $20 million.

There is also DVD income in the follow-up, which can make a small profit.

As for overseas, there is little to hope for.

The cost of overseas distribution is very high, and if it is not a film with a medium investment or above, and the theme is suitable, it will not be distributed overseas at all.

Therefore, the profit of the movie Chasing Girls, that is, the North American box office and DVD revenue, this kind of movie DCD revenue, may be higher than the box office.

After all, the scale of the theater line is still limited.

But in the DVD, the tube is much more relaxed.

There are many young people who like to buy DVDs of this typical eighteen movies, just for the little benefit of it.

Therefore, the DVD sales of this movie have always been good.

According to Hollywood's experience, such a movie can eventually bring a profit of 30 million US dollars to Sunrise Movie.

And the cost is only eight million dollars.
