”The Chainsaw Fright” broke 160 million, which is a typical example of a small and big one.”-”Los Angeles Daily”

......
While Lehman was busy operating the company and preparing for the shooting of the sequel to ”Chain Saw”, the screening of ”Chain Saw” in the North American market finally came to an end.
In fact, by the fourth week of the screening, the decline was already obvious, and the box office per week was less than 10 million.
However, this is also normal.
Generally speaking, the screening period of cult films is relatively short.
As the audience’s viewing potential is almost fully tapped, and as the number of theaters is gradually decreasing, painting is a normal market choice.
But there is no doubt that this movie is already a miracle.
The production cost of 10 million US dollars, plus the director is still a pure newcomer, and the main actors are not particularly well-known, but they can still receive 162.3 million US dollars in the box office in North America.
Moreover, the overseas markets that Europa Pictures is responsible for are also extremely smooth.
What is certain is that the overseas distribution of this piece is absolutely profitable. The popularity and profit may not necessarily be as popular as North America, but it has received more than 100 million box office, making ”Chain Saw” global box office more than 300 million, it seems It’s not particularly difficult.(Because there are delays in various places, and except France, other places are still behind for two weeks, that is, they will not be released until October 25, so the box office statistics are not completely accurate.)
The market’s stunning performance of this movie has made many media happy to report on it.
This time, Paramount Pictures did not put money behind the scenes. After all, the movies have been released.This is completely reported by the media, because it is very topical in itself.
The film breaks billions, and the director is a newcomer.
Isn't this kind of news report enough to attract attention?
......
The butler brought the last dish to the table, Wen Ziren moved his chopsticks and said, ”Lyman, I am going to buy a suite in a few days. Do you have any good suggestions?”
Well, at present, Wen Ziren is still renting with Ray Navor, and the house is still in a mid-range community. Although the environment is not bad, it is definitely not good.(The living environment in the U.S. depends entirely on how much money you can live in. Just like Beverly Hills, why so many wealthy people gather here is entirely because the community has complete police stations, fire management, and large-scale Hospitals, security and guard forces, a strong one.)
As for those less high-end residential communities, the crime rate is scary, such as robbery and blackmail.
Of course, Lehman hadn't never invited Wen Ziren and Ray Navor to live with him. Anyway, his side was very big and there were many rooms, but he couldn't force it anyway.
”Where do you want to move?” Lyman asked.
”I want to move to the Santa Monica community. A few days ago, I went to see with Ray Navor. The surrounding facilities and community environment are very good.”
”Why not move here? Isn't Beverly Hills better?”
Wen Ziren was a little bit hard to say, ”We don't have that much money. If we rent it, it's okay, but we still want to buy a house, so we can feel at ease.”
No, with the market performance of ”Chain Saw”, Wen Ziren should have money.
Although his director’s basic remuneration is not high, only 500,000, but with such a good box office performance, Paramount Pictures will definitely divide the reward. After calculating it, there are three or four million, and Ray Navo Er, the screenwriter plus the identity of the producer can also get no less than 500,000 salary.
With this sum total, it should not be difficult to buy a small apartment.
However, immediately, Lehman wanted to understand again, and asked with a smile: ”Are you having any concerns, so you want to save some money.”
Wen Ziren nodded embarrassedly, ”Do I have to put out a sum of money to invest.”
Well, for the production of the sequel to ”Chain Saw”, Lyman arranged this way. Director and producer Wen Ziren, with a base salary of 1.5 million US dollars plus an investment share of 1.5 million US dollars, accounted for 20% of the total production budget. , The same proportion will participate in the box office share, and the rest will be funded by Mann Studio and half by Firefly Pictures.
