When Luo Yuan learned about the overseas situation of “The Chainsaw”, the box office of the film had already ushered in an official explosion, which was a good start, and the world once again focused its attention on Crimson – the
difference The thing is, this time it’s Crimson’s branch.
Luo Yuan felt very happy. He felt that it was a very correct decision to hand over the branch to Wang Qi. He believed that Wang Qi would become an indispensable soul of the branch in the future, because he had learned that Wang Qi had met overseas. to the dilemma, and how to solve the problem, and more!
He is satisfied.
While satisfied, he also personally sent a message to Wang Qi, making it clear to the other party that if there was anything in need of help, even if he spoke to the head office, the head office would meet their requirements.
Luo Yuan thought that Wang Qi would probably be modest.
As a result, Luo Yuan was stunned that Wang Qi actually replied, and really made a simple request: “I need scripts, more scripts, there are a lot of people here rushing to invest in us, all of them. It is a foreign entertainment company and some businessmen. They are very optimistic about the future film and television development of the Crimson Branch. Even we don’t have to spend our own money for filming, so the only thing missing is the script, and the prerequisites for those investors to invest in our company, It’s also that the script must come from the boss, otherwise it won’t be so easy to reach an agreement…”
Luo Yuan felt like shooting himself in the foot.
There are a lot of scripts in his drawer, but because he doesn’t have time to write them recently, he uses one copy instead of one. If Wang Qi wants to take away several copies at once, Luo Yuan will feel distressed. what!
He even wanted to go back on it.
Why do you say something, even if you ask for it, this kind of big talk?
In desperation, Luo Yuan can only open the drawer and choose a script suitable for Wang Qi’s filming. The principle is to try to choose the kind of movie that can be small and big. It is difficult for the current Crimson Branch to shoot super blockbusters. I believe Wang Qi The investors in the mouth did not intend to invest such a terrifyingly large amount, but mostly planned to invest a small amount to explore the situation. After all, the current Crimson branch has only succeeded in one “Chainsaw”, no more. There are many examples for reference, and there are always people who worry that the success of this movie is just accidental…
This is Luo Yuan’s understanding of the real situation.
Well, since the current crimson branch is famous for the horror film “The Chainsaw”, the previously scheduled “A Quiet Place” can also be put on the agenda. The previous life of this film was released in 2018. The film won a box office of 50 million US dollars in the first weekend, and later broke the box office record of the first day of domestic imported horror films. The box office exceeded 100 million, an absolute explosion!
“Would you like to shoot “A Quiet Place” first?”
Luo Yuan sent a message to Wang Qi, and he still wanted to keep flowing.
Wang Qi replied quickly: “Boss, I know you still have many scripts, I think you should hand over some of them to me for safekeeping, and I will carefully choose which movie to shoot in the future. I believe you should know me. The vision for choosing movies is very accurate, maybe even worse than yours, but I believe you also hope that you can be completely hands-off and leave the branch to me to operate…”
This Wang Qi, “you” one by one.
Luo Yuan was taken by the general and sighed, knowing that one-third of the script in his hand could not be kept, so he could only continue to choose a suitable story. First of all, the script selected by Luo Yuan was the little horror film he completed the year before, “The Clown Returns”. soul”.
This movie is also a good example of small and big.
The film did not use any big-name actors, and mainly relied on some newcomers and small actors to carry the scenes. The finished film was full of its own unique style, and the sales before its release showed no signs of “explosion”. During its release, at a cost of $35 million, it recovered $327 million at the US domestic box office, which is nearly 20 times the cost!
It can be said to be super fierce.
The reason for continuing to choose horror movies is also very simple. Luo Yuan hopes that the branch of Crimson will follow the path of the previous Hollywood Lions Gate in the early stage, focusing on low-cost horror movies to go to Xiaoboda, and wait for the company to enter a stable transition state, and then shoot some more The popcorn commercial that exploded at the box office.
Well, it is definitely not enough to make the company stabilize three films.
Luo Yuan also selected the movie “Escape from the Dead”, which cost 4.5 million US dollars. It was released for more than ten weeks and received 175 million US dollars of box office feedback. The high return on investment attracted the attention of the entire industry. Not to mention that the film has received unanimous praise in the industry, and even became one of the top ten in the eyes of authoritative film media in Europe and the United States, and the best of the year in some magazines such as Rong, which can be said to be a double harvest of word-of-mouth box office.
Four in total!
It’s all horror movies!
And “Chainsaw” can be expanded to shoot the second, third, fourth and so on. In this way, Luo Yuan has prepared nearly ten horror films for the branch in the early stage.
“Only two?”
Wang Qi received the electronic script very quickly, but they were obviously not particularly satisfied, and even felt that the boss was a bit stingy: “I think the boss should give me a wider range of choices, and if there are any completed scripts, feel free to send them. Come here, including some non-horror movies, I know the boss wants me to shoot more horror movies in the early stage, but we definitely can’t only shoot horror movies later, the boss gave me some non-horror movie scripts, I also want to do it early, for the future Make some plans.”
Luo Yuan: “…” I
have to admit, what Wang Qi said is very reasonable, Luo Yuan has been planning his own way, what time period, what movie to make, then if he has made a plan ahead of time The script was shown to Wang Qi, and Wang Qi can actually make plans. Moreover, Wang Qi is overseas, so he knows the local situation better than Luo Yuan, and can more accurately judge when and what movie is suitable.
“Then I’ll look for it again.”
Luo Yuan said to Wang Qi, falling into deep thought.
If you want to make the overseas branch of Crimson also grow completely, then you also need some top-level big IPs. What should you give yourself when the branch needs top-level big IPs in the future?
The answer is not difficult to find.
After hesitating for a long time, Luo Yuan decided to take out the “X-Men” series that he had secretly completed and sent it to Wang Qi. The adaptation of Marvel has already made Luo Yuan very troubled, so he will change the Chinese version of “X-Men” series. Police”, Luo Yuan’s brain cells will die out. Why don’t foreigners film the stories of Professor Magneto and Uncle Wolf.
Anyway, he is the boss.
