MTL - Best of Hollywood-Chapter 40 20th Century Fox

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

"Besides the production of a film, distribution is the most critical part." Ryan said with emotion.

Regardless of past life or present life, film distribution is a difficult problem.

"However, that's the way Hollywood is."

"Whether it is a small-scale on-demand screening, large-scale screening, direct offline distribution of video tapes, or selling various copyrights, publicity, etc., it is inseparable from the publishing company." Helen said lightly.

Sofia Coppola shrugged her shoulders, and said: "Whoever let the distribution company be the top in Hollywood, sometimes they can even take 40% of the income from the producers."

Of course she was exaggerating.

Hollywood distribution companies have always come to watch people order food. Unless it is a foreign film or a film under the same group, it will basically not reach the 40% ratio.

The former is to earn more benefits, while the latter is to minimize the profit of the financing party.

Many films were released and sold well, but as a film financier, they made very little profit, and even suffered book losses.

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

"Let's think about how to deal with those vampires in the afternoon, and hope for a good result." Ryan said

Although he didn't report much hope for it.

He is not worried at all about whether "Chain Saw" can be released. The only concern is about the share distribution, whether there is a distribution company willing to accept the share distribution, and a less harsh share distribution agreement.

This is what worries him the most.

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

This time, they did not borrow the screening room of Lucasfilm, but went directly to the headquarters of Twentieth Century Fox.

As soon as he entered the door, Ryan saw Colette Singer at a glance. Before he could meet him, Colette Singer walked over first.

"Mr. Ryan, I didn't expect that we would meet again so soon."

"Helen said, this time is a horror movie?" Colette-Singer was very enthusiastic.

Even though the box office share agreement of the last film was criticized by 20th Century Fox, he didn't show it in the slightest.

However, when he mentioned Helen, his tone obviously paused.

"Hello, Mr. Colette, it is a horror movie." Ryan said very calmly.

"Great type."

"I hope you can surprise me again." Colette Singer went straight to the point without any formalities.

Naturally, Ryan would not refuse. Several people went upstairs together and came to a not very big projection room. Sophia carried the copy to the back of the projector and operated it by herself. After a while, the screen gradually appeared bright.

For a moment, including Colette Singer, all 20th Century Fox personnel in the projection room focused their eyes on the screen.

Maybe Ryan is unknown for the time being, but everyone knows very well that what kind of miracle he created in his last film is enough to be recorded in the annals of Hollywood history, and no one can underestimate it.

Underestimate an investor, producer, director, screenwriter, and publicity planner who has a North American box office of more than 100 million U.S. dollars and a global box office of more than 200 million U.S. dollars?

This kind of **** scene will never happen in Hollywood.

The plot of the film began to unfold, and there was a trace of fear in the screening room.

With blood, severed limbs, jaw clefts and other plots, Colette-Singer couldn't help the heartbeat and felt creepy.

Many people couldn't help turning around subconsciously, as if they glanced at Ryan, wanting to find out what kind of pervert it was to make such a horror movie.

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

The more frightening it is, the more it can be explained that this is a very wonderful horror movie.

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

Colette-Singer nodded secretly, a refreshing horror film, and may even change the development of North American horror films from now on.

I have to admit that this movie is really scary enough, and it is very different from traditional horror movies.

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

Many plots in the film can even be watched repeatedly.

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

"A very good B-grade horror movie," Colette-Singer murmured inaudibly to herself.

As for NC-17!

In the eyes of Twentieth Century Fox, there is no NC-17 at all. If it weren't for the **** and violent plots in the film, it could have become PG-13.

This is the strength of the seven major Hollywood film companies.

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

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

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

Before everyone could recover, the vertical saw that appeared at the end of the film was like icing on the cake. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com "Chain Saw" is not the end, it's just the beginning.

Colette-Singer suddenly felt tense. If this film was released at the box office, it could continue to be filmed. Like "Star Wars", it will become a series of films, and the investment in horror films has never been much.

If that's the case, then the value of the "Chain Saw" in front of you will be very astonishing.

The series of films has always been the revenue weapon of major Hollywood film companies.

It is conceivable that once it is in the bag, the benefits in the future may far exceed that of "The Blair Witch".

However, when his eyes fell on Helen, he couldn't help frowning. He had already met this ugly female manager last time, and he wanted to buy all the copyrights of "Saw". so easy.

As the lights in the projection room came on, Colette-Singer was already deep in thought, how to get it in his pocket for a while.

It is best to buy all the copyrights together like the last film, and the price can be slightly increased.

Most of the others were also lost in thought. If Ryan's last film was rough and simple, 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 is simply fantastic, if according to Dongfang's statement, it is the finishing touch.

Of course, the investment in "Saw" was only over one million US dollars, and the shooting time was only thirteen days, so there were inevitably some minor problems.

But which horror movie is not like this!

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