Hollywood: Great Directors Starting with Saw

Like Kayla, there are naturally many people like the couple, and similarly, there are also a lot of audiences who are affected by the comments of film critics and choose chainsaw horror among many movies.

Of course, in Kevin's base camp, the cinema near the University of Southern California is even more needless to say.

The attendance rate has reached more than 70%, and as for other theaters, there are also numbers ranging from 20% to 40%, and before word of mouth ferments, it is enough to achieve such a attendance rate, which is enough to show that the new line film company has really worked hard in publicity.

.....

After staying up late to 12 o'clock, Kevin had long lost the mind to watch a movie, and returned to the hotel early to rest.

Tired, he didn't have the heart to look at the data.

A day later, whether it is life or death, it will be clearly placed in front of him.

....

A day later, New Line Films, Dean anxiously walked around the production department, waiting for the specific first-day box office of Chainsaw.

If it was just a $1.3 million investment at the beginning, it wouldn't hurt your bones even if it failed.

So after 800 copies, plus the cost of promotion, it cost 4 to 5 times the cost of making the film, which is the total cost of five million dollars.

If it fails, even his executive cannot afford this loss.

Of course, the chances of him, Shay and the filmwatchers, including film critics, all missing are not great.

So Dean is still somewhat confident.

It's just that before he heard the specific number, he felt a little uneasy in his heart.

Soon, the staff carrying the specific box office from each theater returned to the company, calculating the total box office of 800 cinemas in front of him.

The bright office was full of tension, and Shay walked in with steady steps.

Unlike the nervous Dean, Shay is very steady, and his confidence in Chainsaw Horror is obviously more adequate than Dean's.

"How much was the Chainsaw First Day Box Office?"

Shay asked calmly.

Just at the end of the calculation, the staff said with a slightly shocked expression:

"800 screens, attendance rate 30/40%, the average attendance is 16 people, each cinema has a different schedule, the average is 5 to 6 shows

..." Shay calmly interrupted his data and asked directly:

"What is the total box office?"

The staff, this directly said:

"$8.43 million first-day box office!"

Shay and Dean's originally calm or nervous faces suddenly turned into surprised smiles.

As a film that invested only $1.3 million, $8.43 million in first-day box office meant absolute money.

You know, the North American box office champion, which has been booked in advance this year, is the second Terminator, that is, the sequel to the blockbuster movie.

Even so, its first-day box office was only $30 million.

Yes, Shay is a little bit inflated.

"Call Kevin, and I'll take him to an upscale party a week later."

"Also, discuss with him in advance about the investment of his next film, such a talented director must not let him fall into the hands of others."

After talking to Dean, Shay said to the secretary next to him:

"Order the finance to add another 200..." No, $3 million in publicity funds, I'm going to make the Chainsaw Horror famous in the United States. "

............

"Toot toot!"

Kevin, who was squeezed dry by Sharma Hayak, dragged his somewhat weak body and stood up.

Under the sun, his robust body was as beautiful as the flesh of Apollo, the god of war.

Of course, this is from the point of view of Sharma Haiya, an admirer.

Stretching, Kevin took his phone out of his clothes on the couch and pressed the answer button.

"Hey, I'm Dean, Kevin, we made it!"

Dean's excited voice came from the other end of the phone, and Kevin breathed a sigh of relief, put aside the trace of fear of failure in his heart, and asked confidently:

"Is it the first day of box office?"

"Yes, that's right, Kevin, you can't imagine how much box office the first day has! That's 8.43 million first-day box office. "

Chainsaw made it, Kevin, you made it!"

"President Shay invited you to the party at the Beverly Hills Hotel in a week, and there will be many big stars at the party."

Kevin nodded.

"I will participate, rest assured."

"Okay, don't forget then, we will continue to add publicity in the next few days, and we must make more box office."

Hanging up, Kevin called Dawson again.

Sharma Hayak on the side became even more excited after listening to Kevin's voice from the other end of the phone.

With a box office of 8.43 million on the first day, she knows exactly what such an investment horror film means.

The door to Hollywood, which was obviously the hardest, was opened by her.

Excited, she ignored Kevin's call to her agent, silently got out of bed and walked to Kevin's side, kneeling down

"Shhhhhh

"What's wrong. Kevin? Listening

to the abnormal voice, Dawson asked with concern.

"Nothing, I called to tell you the good news, the Chainsaw Cry box office on the first day came out, 8.43 million box office."

After Kevin finished speaking, he took the phone away a little and enjoyed Sharma Hayak's service.

...

8.43 million box office?

Kevin succeeded!

The excitement on Dawson's face circled in his mind, and he immediately thought of a way to make this high-end customer who belonged to him more successful.

That is to use the power of CAA to carry out a greater degree of publicity on Chainsaw.

And he believes that Melk Owitz, CAA's de facto president, will agree with him.

After a few more words with Kevin on the phone, Dawson hurried towards the top floor of the company, where the offices of CAA's five partners were located.

There are still plenty of empty seats, but no one is eligible to move to the top floor except for the Big Five.

Standing in the aisle, Kevin looked around from the glass, and the emotions in his heart were released.

The happy expression on his face is overflowing.

Michael Owitz was about to go to the bathroom, when he saw this scene of Dawson, frowned, and was about to reprimand two words.

Dawson, who saw Michael Ovitz come out, immediately hurriedly said:

"Kevin's first-day box office is out, $8.43 million!"

Michael Ovitz's face changed instantly, and his original plan was also forgotten.

They have not made many investments facilitated by CAA this year, and Steve Kevin's Chainsaw Cry has impressed him with his clear and clear layout.
