screenwriter mystery

Chapter 171 Divided into
The share of the movie, after various announcements and cuts by the theater and Universal.

The ones that fell into Zhao Yuan's hands may not be as many as it seems on the surface, but they are at least tens of millions.

Not to mention, in the subsequent DVD release, there will also be a dividend income waiting for him.

And, if you want to compare it with the movie market.

The performance of "Smart: Ghost Story" in the DVD market made Zhao Yuan look forward to it even more, because the key factor for the success of this movie in the original world was the popularity of the DVD market.

In the United States, movie theaters and offline DVDs are two completely different audiences. Many people may not go to the theater to watch a movie, but they will spend a lot of time in video and audio stores to buy what they like. DVD or video tape to watch at home.

Even, according to statistics, major Hollywood film companies currently earn 250 billion US dollars from the annual release of DVDs and home video tapes, almost three times the total box office revenue of theaters.

Some time ago, the best picture Oscar winner "Crash" is the best example.

The movie didn't cause much response when it was released in theaters that year, but it has occupied the top spot in the most popular DVD list of video rental stores for a long time in the DVD market.So far, the film's total DVD sales and rental income has reached nearly 1.4 million US dollars, far exceeding its 5500 million US dollars in theater box office revenue.

From this, it is enough to see the vigorous development of the American DVD market, which is why some time ago, the Hollywood Screenwriters Union proposed to change the DVD copyright share in the strike demand.

The home video market has become one of the important industries supporting Hollywood.

……

San Marino, on the other end of the line.

Zhao Yuan's thinking was pulled away by the follow-up division of "Smart: Ghost Story".

He thought about it, and calculated the best share based on the current box office revenue of "Spiritual: Ghost Story". Foley Hill went.

On the other side, Ron Meyer kept showing favor to Zhao Yuan over the phone.

The success of many consecutive movies and TV series has proved the value of Zhao Yuan.

It can be said that right now he is one of the hottest existences in Hollywood.

As far as Ron Mayer knew, many Hollywood film production companies had already set their sights on Zhao Yuan.

Warner even threw out the intention to invite Zhao Yuan as the screenwriter for the last part of Christopher Nolan's "Batman" trilogy.

Although, inviting a horror movie screenwriter to create a superhero movie seems a bit unreliable.

However, this also shows Zhao Yuan's current popularity in Hollywood from the side.

In fact, one of the reporters who were stationed outside came here because of Warner's news.

As the hero of "Batman" which restarted the superhero movie, director Christopher Nolan obviously brought a satisfactory answer to Warner, and the enthusiasm caused by the first two parts is also beyond imagination.

However, the death of Heath Ledger in the previous film cast a cloud over the third part of the film.

Warner urgently needs a booster to bring vitality to the "Batman" series, and the horror-oriented Batman seems to be a good choice.

In a way, Warner is worthy of the title of DC's enemy.

Of course, it wasn't just Warner that offered an olive branch to Zhao Yuan, Paramount, and Columbia all expressed invitations to him, promising that as long as he nodded, he could shoot any movie with an investment of less than 5000 million.

Among these film companies, only Disney did not show a too positive attitude, or because it knew that Zhao Yuan's horror genre itself did not match Disney's style.

In short, after learning about the actions of these film companies, Ron Meyer naturally expressed proper concern for Zhao Yuan, a great hero.

It was even revealed on the phone that the screenwriter's share of "Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2" will come down soon. You must know that "Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2" has not been released for a few weeks. If Hollywood's 'normal' share Speed, the money will have to wait for several months for review before reaching Zhao Yuan's hands.

"In terms of film shooting, I have always felt that the cooperation with Universal is very pleasant, so I have no other ideas at the moment, not to mention that "Spirit: Ghost Story" is still in theaters, and I don't want to devote my energy to the next film so soon. In the idea of ​​a movie, ABC's "Modern Family" script still needs me to check..."

He vaguely expressed to Ron Meyer that he has no intention of leaving Universal at least for now.

After finishing the phone call, Zhao Yuan turned his head and glanced at the media reporters outside the house.

With such a group of people following, although it has something to do with the popularity of recent movies.

But more or less, it also affected Zhao Yuan's daily life to a certain extent.

At least, under such circumstances, it is impossible for him to jog or go to the boxing gym to exercise.

Therefore, he shook his head and ignored the reporters squatting outside.

Zhao Yuan turned on his laptop, and began to browse the comments on "Spirit: Ghost Story" on the Internet.

After a week or so of precipitation, the evaluation of "Smart: Ghost Story" on the Internet has basically not changed much.

Scanning these comments, most of them are discussions about the plot of the movie. Many viewers have already discovered the various details left by Zhao Yuan in the movie, and some people have even deduced that after "Spiritual: Ghost Story" The sequel to the movie may also have something to do with the haunted house.

Obviously, after the film was released for more than a week, many viewers who watched the film at the beginning also recalled that "Spiritual Ghost Records" is actually a "fake documentary" type of film like "The Blair Witch", not real s story.

However, in addition to these people, there are also many people on the Internet who believe that the existence of "Ling Dong: Ghost Story" is authentic.

His eyes fell on one of the comments, which insisted that everything about the movie was true.

Zhao Yuan raised his eyebrows, and a vague script emerged in his heart.

As a religious country, the United States has always been popular with various legends, and some of them even do not believe in the existence of science. These people, if they were changed in the past, might have been just one of the many skeptics on the Internet.

However, it is different now.

Since they firmly believed in the authenticity of this movie, how could Zhao Yuan, as their supporter, disappoint them.

They are so eager for supernatural existence, it is natural to satisfy them.
