225 Chapter 225 Film Audience (seeking subscription recommendation) (1/2)
On September 27th, in a screening room of Paramount Pictures in Hollywood, when the gloomy drumming music was matched with the jigsaw reversal, everyone watching the film gave enthusiastic applause.
In the screening room, in addition to the main creators of Lehman, Wen Ziren, and Ray Navor, there are also the distribution manager of Paramount Pictures and his subordinates.
After the film was shown, several people exchanged views on the film.
”There is certain commercial value, the story is very compact, and the look and feel is smooth.”
The first person who spoke was a middle-aged white man who was also the person who led the release of the film. His name was David Andrew.
Another person also took the topic and said: ”I think so too. This film should be very expensive for certain cult film fans. After all, these delicate killing agencies and jigsaws want to punish people who ignore life. Ideas will be attractive.”
”But the audience of the film is still not too wide, and our publicity costs cannot be too high.” Another person suggested.
After discussing it for a while, generally speaking, these Paramount distributors agreed that the film had a certain value, but they did not hold much hope.
As for why?
The new director without successful experience, coupled with the less charismatic actors, is shooting a film with the main horror theme. Apart from Lyman, it is really impossible to let others have much confidence in it.
Even Wen Ziren is still nervous at this time.
He himself was a little afraid of failure.The movie is like this. Before it is actually shown, everyone just predicts whether it will succeed. Who knows what the market will be like?
In the previous life, the filming cost of ”Chain Saw” was so low, and because Lionsgate didn't pay much attention to the film, and did not even do much publicity, it was put into the cinema. The number of theaters was even poorer, only 200. Multiple.
At the same time as ”Chain Saw Fright”, Bowei Pictures' ”Fire and Sea Pride” and Universal's ”Weekend Midnight Bright” (which tells the story of the football team) have advantages.
But the result was shocking. The three movies were in the same ring, and the ticket sales and market response were not favored by ”Chainsaw”.
In the end, he received more than 50 million U.S. dollars and a global box office of 100 million, which allowed Lionsgate to make a fortune. At the same time, it decided to continue to explore the production of the sequel of this movie.
In this case, can you say that the Lionsgate is looking away.
But at the beginning of the show, few people were optimistic.
Lehman certainly has the confidence. Now that the film has a sufficient shooting budget, it is not only better produced, the lens is more colorful, and the picture is more prominent in the visual experience. Besides, there is publicity and no publicity. Nor can it be compared, at least, it is more brilliant than the original.
However, he can't completely pack the ticket.There are many factors that affect the box office of a movie. The quality of the movie, the schedule, the schedule of the movie theater, and the rivals in the same period, any change in any one of these points are likely to cause fluctuations.I can only say, do everything, look at God's will.
”Thank you so much to develop a complete publicity plan,” Lehman said.
”Well, don't worry, Director Lyman, we will be prepared for this.” Compared to Wen Ziren, David Andrew must respect Lyman's opinion more.
The fact is true. He continued to politely said: ”For the movie, we plan to release it on October 10th. I have seen the schedule. There are not a few films that have a strong momentum, and the audiences of the various works do not overlap. , More suitable for us.”
”Look at the arrangement.” In this regard, David Andrew is obviously the expert.
