383 Signed contracts for 900 theater screenings!
On Facebook, #Ela almost died in the cinema# triggered a hot search on the headlines and attracted the attention of a large number of netizens around the world.
Various entertainment newspapers and magazines in the United States also followed suit and deceived traffic, using such terrifying words as titles.
However, after clicking in, many netizens found that Ella was not in danger of life. She was just frightened by a horror movie called "Saw".
"Ela almost died in the cinema. Oh my God, what happened?"
"What's going on? I remember Ella updated her status on Facebook just now."
"Hey, these unscrupulous media can really make up. Ella said she watched a horror movie called "Saw" and was so scared that she almost died in the cinema."
"This movie seems to be very powerful, Rotten Tomatoes has a rating of 9.2. Recently, some viewers on the Internet have truly reported the videos. It seems that they are all viewers who watch this movie. Moreover, Aira's bold woman is so scared so badly, I want to see it."
With the hype of Ella's name and the amazingly high Rotten Tomatoes index of "Saw" have made many people very curious about this movie.
"Saw" became popular from Facebook and returned to the American film industry again, it immediately became a hot commodity.
Because everyone was surprised to find that this movie, which cost only a pitiful hundreds of thousands of dollars, can be related to the great director Baldwin, Grammy queen Ella, and Hollywood's best actor Gorjoman.
What's more worthy of the slightest view is that the Rotten Tomatoes index of "Saw" is astonishingly high, and the movie even involves a bet of 10 million US dollars.
There is even more incredible that through this ten million bet, it can be inferred that the shooting cycle of "Saw" is only a short ten days.
Oh, to be exact, it was fourteen days, and Ella's Facebook description.
Moreover, the director and male lead of this horror film are all Chinese!
After learning the inside story about "Saw", many American film reporters were a little confused.
God, this is simply incredible.
So, when the entertainment page headlines were broadcasting Ella, the American film industry began to completely focus on "Saw" itself.
"A horror movie "Saw" with only fourteen days shooting cycle and less than 500,000 US dollars has a Rotten Tomato rating of 9.2. How did this movie do it?"
"The director of "Saw" has a $10 million bet with Baldwin's "Ghost Baby"!"
"Ira, Gorchoman, Charlie and others recommended it, and more than a dozen film critics collectively praised it. What is the charm of "Saw"?"
The promotion and distribution of movies depends on a good entry point to make a gimmick.
Wei Xun, Kang Cheng and others have no foundation in the United States, so the movies they made are naturally unwilling to be watched.
But since Wei Xun forced a bet of $10 million with Baldwin, "Saw" has actually been qualified to hype it up against Baldwin.
Now, with the celebrity effect, the super high Rotten Tomato Index, and various praises, this small-budget movie has finally gained a lot of attention.
After gaining attention, the most intuitive feedback is... The emails for interactive sessions flew like snowflakes from all over the United States, frantically into the official email account of "Saw".
Kang Cheng, Lin Fan and Xiao Xiaoyang, who were responsible for receiving emails, were completely overwhelmed.
"New York will have thirty-five games...Los Angeles will have seventeen games. This is, oh, Canadian emails, and Poland, Russia..."
Kang Cheng's excited voice was trembling at this moment, but as he watched one email after another come in crazily, the prompt level of the "Ding Ding Ding" in the room did not stop, his face turned pale: "There are too many, I can't count it at all. How many times have they been?"
Lin Fan said tentatively: "One thousand two?"
Xiao Xiaoyang retorted weakly: "That was the data from half an hour ago, and now it is completely messed up."
When "Saw" was gone, they felt very worried.
Now that the movie is popular, I didn’t expect to be even more worried.
From morning to night, they have been processing emails, and they have not had time to have a stable meal.
Obviously, "Saw" has become completely popular this time, not even in the United States, because Facebook is a world-class website, and this movie has become completely popular all over the world!
"Damn, the computer was stuck in the email... As for Wei Xun, I don't seem to have seen him for a day."
The crazy emails kept bounced in, causing the computer to crash completely. Kang Cheng was anxious to restart the computer. Then he realized that he had not seen Wei Xun for a day.
"The interactive scene efficiency is too low, so it is better to go directly to the theater to release it quickly." Lin Fan said: "Director Wei answered a phone call before, and it should be an invitation from a theater company, so he went out to talk."
Kang Cheng's eyes lit up when he heard this and said excitedly: "Don't that mean that we will soon see our own movies in theaters across the United States?"
I have to say, this is really handsome.
Lin Fan also said in admiration: "Yes, Director Wei... is really awesome. I thought he was already amazing in China. I didn't expect that when he came to the United States, he could continue to be awesome..."
This time, "Saw" was so popular, from the script, filming, to the later promotion, all of which were planned by Wei Xun.
After this process, Kang Cheng and the other two were completely convinced by Wei Xun.
I can only say that a powerful person is awesome wherever he goes.
At this moment, Wei Xun didn't know that he was being praised by Kang Cheng and the other two because he received a call from an "Emir Cinema Company". Simmons, the filming manager of the cinema, offered to sign a screening contract with "Saw".
"Emir Cinema is the seventh-ranked theater company in the United States, with more than 900 cinemas. Although this number is not too many, I think we must be the first theater company to contact you."
In a cafe in Hollywood, Simmons smiled and looked at Wei Xun and said, "Because I happened to be in Hollywood recently, and I have watched the movie "Saw". I have to say that you are a very talented director, which is amazing."
"Nine hundred theaters?"
Hearing Simmons say this, Wei Xun smiled and said, "How many film schedules can "Saw" get?"
Simmons thought for a while and said, "Well, 15% of it. If you perform well, you will definitely continue to add it. Please rest assured of this."
Nine hundred theaters, fifteen percent, this start is already very good.
At least Simmons talked with sincerity.
Wei Xun thought for a moment and asked, "I'll take the liberty to ask, is your theater chain released "Ghost Baby"? How much did they give?"
Simmons shrugged and replied: "It's released, and I've given 23% of the film schedule. After all, there's no movie to play now in the off-season of the movie."
Otherwise, the current Emil Theater's filming schedule would not have been able to give "Saw" so much at one go.
"Okay, I have no problem here, you can sign a contract with you at any time." Wei Xun smiled and said, "But I have a requirement. If the box office of "Saw" can be ranked first in your theater tomorrow, I hope to eat at least half of the film schedule of "Ghost Baby"."
