Chapter 3 Sequel
"Screenwriter, I like your movies very much."
"Thank you, ma'am..."
"This is my private phone number. If you have a new script, I'd be happy to play the role, of course I'm free even in normal times."
During the party banquet where the wine was toasting, a blond woman with heavy makeup had a charming smile on her face and handed the note she had prepared in her hand to Zhao Yuan.
He let go of his palm, but his fingers gently tucked at Zhao Yuan's fingers like a broken thread, and made a seductive expression at him. Then the woman swayed her concave and convex body towards the next target.
Holding a red wine glass in one hand, Zhao Yuan looked at the woman's back as she left, and lowered his head to scan the note in his hand.
He raised some eyebrows, but didn't even think of opening it and taking a look. He directly pinched it into a ball and threw it into the food residue beside him.
The party gathering in Hollywood is not just a place to celebrate drinking.
It is also a stage for women to seek opportunities.
In fact, many Hollywood stars are far less glamorous or inspiring at the beginning of their fame than they look like.
So, after witnessing the blonde woman holding a white old man who looked twice as old as her, Zhao Yuan showed a meaningful smile.
In Hollywood, Zhao Yuan is not seeking fame and wants to be independent.
I just simply know that the so-called Hollywood giants who look glorious now will eventually pay the price for their willful deeds in the near future.
And if he doesn't want to be swept away by that future storm.
You need to be vigilant so as not to become a member of the future list.
At least, before you gain enough fame and status, or even become a giant crocodile.
What's more, judging from Zhao Yuan's memory, he had no impression of the blonde woman who took the initiative to hand over the notes.
In other words, the other party is destined to be an unknown eliminator among the many profit-seekers in Hollywood.
...
"Allen, I'll introduce you to..."
As the director of "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre", Wan Ziren is undoubtedly the most dazzling one in the entire party.
However, as an "old man" who has been struggling in Hollywood for many years, Wan Ziren has never forgotten to give him this halo Zhao Yuan.
"This is Ray Warner, my friend and the screenwriter of "Saw"."
Although the story of "Saw" comes from the common ideas of Wan Ziren and Ray Warner, the final script was created by Ray Warner alone, and he even plays the leading role in the movie.
"And this is Ron Mayer, vice president of Universal Pictures' Film and Television Distribution Division."
Following Wen Ziren's introduction, Zhao Yuan's eyes fell on a white man wearing glasses and wearing silver hair.
"Mr. Allen, I really like your creative adaptation ideas for "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre."
Universal Pictures has changed hands three times in recent decades. Ron Mayer naturally has his own way of changing.
For Ron Mayer, Zhao Yuan in front of him may be an optional small character, but it does not prevent him from expressing a kind attitude.
Especially under the premise that "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" has successfully brought benefits to the release of the global product.
With a faint smile on his face, Ron Mayer reached out and smiled at Zhao Yuan.
"I wonder if you have any idea to continue creating a sequel to The Texas Chainsaw Massacre?"
Judging from the current box office trend of "Texas Chainsaw Massacre", it is destined to be a big hit horror movie, and the only difference lies in the next box office revenue.
Therefore, as a qualified film producer, Ron Mayer naturally began to care about the sequel to "The Texas Chainsaw Madness".
The main reason why Hollywood is so keen on filming sequels is to reduce the investment risks of movies. Not all movies rely on very little capital to get huge rewards like "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" or "The Chainsaw" filmed by Wan Ziren.
The reason why counterattack is called a counterattack is that such a situation is uncommon and is even in Hollywood history.
Normally, a Hollywood movie, even a medium-investment movie.
Among them, the actors' pay for filming the movies account for a large part, and once the box office is not ideal, all investments will be wasted. Therefore, in order to ensure the success rate of the movie investment, shooting sequels becomes a good guarantee for risk avoidance. Although many people think that the first movie is a classic and sequels are usually difficult to surpass the classic, many people still pay for the complex.
This is why, Lionsgate Film, the producer of "Saw", has launched two sequels, "Saw 2" and "Saw 3" in the next two years. Even in Zhao Yuan's original world, the Saw franchise has been released to 7.
It can be said that it has been a chainsaw wool.
Even though the potential of "Saw" after the seventh part has been exhausted, it is still a sure-making investment for the filmmakers.
In fact, it is precisely because of Lionsgate's constant exploitation of the theme of "Saw" that Wan Ziren turned to Universal Pictures instead of Lionsgate's producers.
"In fact, I already have some ideas about the plot of the sequel..."
Zhao Yuan naturally knew the subsequent series of "The Texas Chainsaw Madness".
This is also the capital he uses to climb upwards.
“Universal Pictures is happy to continue working with you Mr. Allen.”
Hearing Zhao Yuan's answer, the smile on Ron Mayer's face became even stronger.
...
Mid November.
As the holiday bonuses during the Halloween period gradually faded, the strong box office trend of "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" also declined sharply.
However, due to the films in the same period, even though the box office of "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" has declined, it still performs well, with a box office revenue of about 15 million per week, and the global box office has begun to rise.
After more than half a month of continuous release, the potential of "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" is coming to an end, and some theaters have also begun to withdraw their publicity for "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" and are intensively arranging the release of new movies.
However, none of these actions can erase the topicality brought about by "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre".
With more than 360 million yuan in box office revenue worldwide, it has proved that "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" is the most money-making horror movie in Hollywood in recent years.
On the eve of the global release of "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" with 360 million yuan, Universal Pictures, the producer of the film, announced that it would be.
The filming plan for the sequel of "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" has been put on the agenda. For the director candidate for "Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2", the global side still prefers the director Wan Ziren, the former director, and the script of the sequel will still be completed by the screenwriter Allen Zhao, who created the first part of "Texas Chainsaw Massacre".
...
In cheap apartment.
Received $200,000 from the first draft of "Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2".
At this moment, Zhao Yuan was completely unexcited.
Chapter completed!
