prodigal director

Chapter 224 The click show is a big success 【Subscription】

The cruise ship sets sail and rides the waves!
During the 60-day cruise, Hao Huan lay comfortably on the rocking chair on the top deck, blowing the sea breeze, watching the men and women swimming and playing in the swimming pool in the middle.

Sure enough, he guessed right!

The people who can buy tickets to board this cruise ship are a group of wealthy second-generation and well-paid freelancers!

There are very few people over the age of 40, basically a group of young men and women in their 30s and [-]s.

It's really rare for an uncle like Huang Hao to sneak in with Hao Huan's thigh in his arms!
In addition, Wang Ye also mixed in.

This guy loves this occasion the most!
Now he's picking up girls in that pool!

It made Hao Huan wonder if he had held a flirty single men and women dating party like Wang Ye's favorite on the cruise ship!

Fortunately, the people who bought tickets to board the boat were all rich people, so for celebrities like Hao Huan, Wang Ye, and Liu Yuxi, they would not be so brainless as to circle around. Brainless star chasing affects the order of the cruise ship. Otherwise, the cruise ship will be bombarded at the next stop, and the other party will be sent a ticket to get out!

So, except for the fact that they got a lot of attention when they boarded the cruise ship and were cheered by many people taking photos and recording videos, they were treated as ordinary tourists at other times, and they didn't bother them deliberately.

"Boss, "Death Comes" will start screening in 20 minutes, do you want to go down to watch the first scene?" Wang Lexin reminded.

Hao Huan looked at his watch and became interested: "Okay, let's go to the first scene!"

There are theaters and movie halls on this cruise ship. In the theater, there will be opera performances in the morning, acrobatic magic performances in the afternoon, and pop song and dance performances in the evening.

In short, the 60-day cruise trip, the program has been planned, it can be said that there are all kinds of strange things, everything that one expects to find.

In the cinema hall, the movie "Death is Coming" will be played in advance today, and all tourists can watch it for free. In the next 60 days, all the movies made by Hao Huan and Wang Lexin will be played in turn in the cinema hall. As for other People's movies, so I don't bother to buy broadcast rights.

Hao Huan looked at the receding mainland on the deck, and took Wang Lexin down to the movie theater.

As a very luxurious sightseeing cruise ship, the theater is naturally decorated with top-notch luxury, including popcorn and all kinds of drinks, so you can eat and drink as you like.

Wang Lexin went to get a bucket of popcorn and two cups of Coke. There are already many people sitting in the theater. Liu Yuxi, her brother, and Huang Hao and his wife have already occupied the middle seats. After Wang Lexin and Hao Huan came in , In the theater with more than 100 seats, more than half of the seats are already occupied.

Obviously, many people are still looking forward to the movie "Death Comes".

Although this movie is directed by Wang Lexin, the screenwriter and producer are Hao Huan, so this is enough to represent the quality of this movie.

Besides, Wang Lexin is also a capable director recognized by everyone!So far, none of the movies she directed has hit the box office or had a bad reputation!
After Hao Huan sat down, Huang Hao on the side joked, "Didn't you watch beautiful women swimming on the deck? Why did you run down to watch a movie?"

"Ha ha……"

Hao Huan ignored Lao Huang, and said to Wang Lexin: "One week has passed, how much is the pre-sale box office of "Death Comes"?"

Wang Lexin always pays attention to the pre-sale box office. After all, this is a film she directed, and she puts all her effort and sweat into it, so she watches the box office whenever she has time!When I went to Hao Huan just now and asked him if he wanted to watch a movie, she just watched it.

So I answered very accurately: "The current pre-sale box office is 1.62 million yuan, which is not very high, but this result is already very good!"

indeed.

For Wang Lexin, this result is indeed very good!

For other directors of other films, this pre-sale result is simply amazing!

But for Hao Huan, he felt that this was all a rush!

After all, he started too high!
So this kind of tepid starting box office, he looks indifferent now, and feels that there is no passion.

After 10 minute, the movie starts playing.

Wang Lexin shot the 3D version of "Reaper is Coming", so the viewing effect and special effects are more comfortable and realistic.

Wang Lexin handled some thrilling scenes in the movie very well, and the post-production technology level of Red Ear Film and Television Company can almost be said to be second to none in China.

In addition, Hao Huan is guiding and teaching everyone the production tutorial of five-star special effects, so the special effects production of "Death Comes" has brought an unparalleled visual feast to the audience!

This suspense and thriller movie does not have that kind of intuitive horror picture, but for the audience, the most terrifying fear is the unknown!

You know you are going to die next, but you don’t know when or how you will die?

This is where suspense and thriller movies attract the audience the most!

At the same time, it is also the reason why many people dare not watch this kind of movie, so suspense and thriller movies are so niche.

According to the original script, there are many bloody scenes in this movie, but Hao Huan is not the kind of director who likes bloody scenes, and he doesn't like to stimulate the audience with bloody and terrifying scenes, so in his adapted script, bloody scenes There were not many scenes, and Wang Lexin didn't shoot the kind of bloody scenes that made people feel frightened and disgusting.

But throughout the whole process, the audience watched with tense nerves!

Unknown fear, unknown danger, psychological foil, environmental foil, etc., these places can create a good horror atmosphere.

Hao Huan's personal favorite is this feeling of terrified thinking!
So intuitively, he felt a little boring for movies that directly appeared horror scenes.

People with a bad heart are most likely to be frightened by this kind of picture!
This is the case with previous suspense and thriller movies, as well as those bad street ghost movies!With the background sound of panic and depression, a grimace suddenly appeared, and there was a horrifying scream, which caught the audience off guard.

Hao Huan had watched many movies like this when he was a child.

So after watching a lot, he can guess when this kind of boring horror scene will appear.

This is also the reason why suspense and thriller movies have no new ideas and are becoming more and more niche, which is why they are even banned in China.

In this regard, Hao Huan actually supports it, because it is really right to ban such vulgar and boring thriller movies. First of all, the movie is not good-looking, and secondly, the sudden appearance of horror scenes to scare the audience is very brain-dead. Boring, even with a big heart, he was frightened when he was a child, and he was even said to be timid and small-hearted by the audience.

It's normal to accidentally scare people to death.

And the suspense and horror movies he made will not be like this, because his style is such an intuitive horror atmosphere. The audience only needs to see the progress of the plot, and they will think along the plot, and feel the suspense and horror from thinking. atmosphere.

"Death is Coming", this movie Wang Lexin also shot Hao Huan's flavor, quite a sense of tension and panic like "Saw 1".

Desire to live, to fight against death.

This is the theme of the movie. After the audience enters the role, the strong sense of substitution and the direction of the plot can make them feel as if they are on the scene.

Live from the heart!

Fear is born from the heart!

Watching the movie, there is no visually scary picture, but after the plot has been deliberated and absorbed in the heart, it is scary to think about it.

Unknowingly, after "Death is Coming", Hao Huan nodded in satisfaction and said to Wang Lexin: "Not bad!"

Wang Lexin was startled at first, and then said excitedly: "Didn't I smash it this time?"

"No! It's a good shot!"

Hao Huan stopped pretending, and it was time to give this stupid pig some encouragement. After all, it was not easy for her to make such a film. Apart from having a certain director talent, her hard work must not be ignored.

Hao Huan did not go to see Wang Lexin's filming of "Death is Coming", but he knew that Wang Lexin must have worked very hard to make this film. After all, this is an international film, so the requirements are relatively strict.

For Wang Lexin, this is a truly global film in her directorial career!

Although "Saw 2" is also a movie released globally, it finally achieved good results at the global box office, but this is because it borrowed the popularity of "Saw 1", so the box office is so ideal abroad.

Therefore, the success of "Chainsaw 2" has a lot to do with Hao Huan, and this "Death is Coming" is different. Although Hao Huan is still the screenwriter, Wang Lexin is the chief director, and her role is It's the biggest one. Otherwise, if you change to another director, no matter how good the script is, it will be a bad movie for you.

This has to praise Wang Lexin!
Hao Huan said: "According to the quality of this movie, the box office should be good!"

There were so many people, Hao Huan didn't exaggerate too much.

Otherwise, Liu Yuxi and Huang Hao would definitely stare at him with strange eyes, especially Huang Hao, this old guy must have no good intentions.

When Wang Lexin heard Hao Huan's words, she was very happy. Since Hao Huan said that the box office should be good, it was a reassurance for her.

Because she is afraid that the box office will not be ideal!
Although Hao Huan said that the goal for her this time is a global box office of 20 billion yuan, but for Hao Huan, the box office of 20 billion yuan is just a return!

This movie is the most expensive movie Wang Lexin has ever made. Hao Huan gave 3 million yuan as the production cost, plus the cost of publicity and promotion, the total cost of this movie has exceeded 4 million yuan.

Calculated based on the box office share that Hao Huan can get, this movie needs at least 15 billion box office to make a profit, and 20 billion box office is still very little money for Hao Huan.

Each of the movies she made earlier could earn Hao Huan at least hundreds of millions of yuan, and the most powerful ones could earn Hao Huan more than a dozen or two billion yuan, so this one, no matter what, must have a box office of 20 billion. To be at ease, to be satisfied.

So she asked Hao Huan: "Boss, how much do you think the box office will be?"

She still wants to take another reassurance pill now!

Hao Huan said: "Let's make a bottom line at the box office of 40 billion!"

Wang Lexin grinned: "Really? It would be great if we could get so much box office! That would double the box office target you proposed before!"

Hao Huan walked out of the theater and said: "This is considered a passing result. An excellent result should be more than 50 billion in global box office! Therefore, your current directing ability is not good enough!"

Liu Yuxi smiled wryly: "You are asking too much of her now! This movie is already very good if it has a box office of 20 billion! She is not a professional director, and she only studied directing with you for two years, so many classes. The director who came out did not have a box office of 20 billion after making movies for more than ten years, and it is already rare for her to make so many movies that sell well at the box office in two years!"

Hao Huan really thought so in his heart, it's really rare that this guy Wang Lexin can make such a high-grossing movie!
For so long, she hasn't made a movie that loses money!
Moreover, the profits from all the movies and one TV series have already made Hao Huan tens of billions of yuan!
And this is only two years!
Of course, strictness is unavoidable. After Hao Huan praised Wang Lexin, he still said seriously: "People either make progress or regress! She still has a lot of room for improvement, if she is not stricter with her, she will go to the sky long ago Already!"

"How can..."

Wang Lexin said aggrievedly, but to be honest, she was indeed a little drifting.

But considering that Hao Huan has already produced two movies with a global box office of over 100 billion, she felt that it was right for Hao Huan to be strict with her.

She also wants to make a movie with such a high box office, and Hao Huan said that she still has a lot of room for improvement, so her next goal is to move towards a global box office of 100 billion!

The current "Death is Coming", judging from Hao Huan's evaluation and analysis, it is impossible for the global box office to reach 100 billion, and it is still far away from 100 billion!
This is the director gap between her and Hao Huan!

Huang Gao sympathized: "Wang girl, you have to resist him! There are so many directors in the country, except for Hao Huan, you will soon be the second largest director in the total box office! So you have the confidence to hate him!"

Hao Huan chuckled: "She has to have the guts to do it!"

Wang Lexin rolled her eyes: "Why should I resist! The boss is right, I do still have a lot of room for improvement..."

Hopeless……

Huang Hao and Liu Yuxi suddenly felt that Wang Lexin was really hopeless!

They really want to have an assistant like Wang Lexin who earns so much money for the boss and works hard!
It's a pity, this guy is like a pig, he doesn't understand!

Forget it, let's not talk about her!
She was fattening herself, and then took the initiative to climb up the chopping block, willing to let Hao Huan slaughter the rhythm!

However, Wang Lexin's success is inseparable from Hao Huan's resources and cultivation, so it is understandable for him to work hard.

Moreover, there are really not many staff assistants who know how to repay kindness these days. Hao Huan can only have an assistant with the attributes of a lucky cat like Wang Lexin, and they can only be envious and jealous.
