This is a 4-hour movie.
Length is not important.
Once a big Hollywood director shot and edited a 6-hour movie, and it was still a flop.
Movies are never about length.
Rather, it is about the control of the plot and the control of time.
No matter how good the plot is, it may cause many unnecessary problems in the movie because of the time problem.
Therefore, the average movie is about two hours.
This is a rule that all peers in the world have explored for a long time.
As for the principle of this rule, it is probably that a person does not go to the toilet for two hours, sits for two hours without leaving the seat, and the two-hour movie watching should be something that most people can adapt to and accept.
Once the time reaches about three hours, many people's bodies and physiology may not be able to accept it.
On the contrary, once the time is only one hour, or even less, such a short film is naturally not qualified to be shown in major theaters. After all, movies are about telling stories, and a story that can be told in 40 to 50 minutes is unlikely to make money.
It's like getting a haircut.
A normal haircut costs about 20 yuan, and the haircut takes 10 minutes. If you go to a haircut shop that charges 200 yuan, it will take at least 30 minutes to cut your hair. Why?
Simple, they are afraid that you will feel that the money you spend is not worth it!
And those very good hairstylists may charge 2,000 yuan per time, or 20,000 yuan per time, or even more. When they cut hair, they even care about the position and rationality of each hair, so that a haircut takes at least an hour.
This is called value for money!
Service, quality...
Robert did not question the decision of the head office.
He watched the film as soon as possible.
After only ten minutes, he had reached a state of selflessness.
At 4 hours and 7 minutes, he even felt that he had entered the movie and the war in the movie.
Real and spectacular.
Battles involving thousands or tens of thousands of people.
Later, there was a meeting of hundreds of thousands of troops. Although the number of people was not hundreds of thousands, the more than 100,000 troops in the filming had the effect of nearly a million troops.
Planes, tanks, armored vehicles, the spectacular scene of the iron and blood torrent.
The countless troops marching forward, the scene of war.
Every scene, every stitch, made Robert's blood boil.
So much so that every time the charge sounded, he couldn't help but stand up and wanted to kill the enemy with them.
Even if you don't bring a gun, just a kitchen knife, it's fine!
As long as the knife cuts the enemy, it's a success!
Until the end of the film, when all the iron torrents were concentrated on one screen, from far to near, and from near to far, and then the passionate song of "Reverse War" sounded, Robert, who was standing, almost roared and sang along.
Although his singing level was very poor, the momentum and voice of his roar exploded the entire company.
This film was played more than a dozen times at Bernard Films before it was released!
So much so that most of the company's employees worked very hard, just like taking stimulants.
Of course, the final harvest was also quite fruitful.
Through this film, Bernard Films finally made many people in the industry remember the names of Bernard and Robert in the United States and Europe!
Even some well-known screenwriters, directors, and actors began to find Robert, hoping to cooperate with him, not for anything else, just for Robert's vision and ability, looking forward to future success together.
After getting Wu Miao's approval, Robert also signed some directors, actors, etc. As for screenwriters, the head office did not like the scripts from the United States, and Robert would not make decisions on his own. He knew his vision for selecting scripts, and he knew that with his vision, it was better not to touch the text-related things.
However, he had a sense of admiration for the name Su Mo that he did not know about.
After all.
Su Mo played a supporting role in Wolf Warrior 2, the film in which he began to take a breath.
In the subsequent Counterattack on Annan, Su Mo was not only the director and screenwriter, but also took on multiple jobs such as production and editing.
Moreover, Robert has always been clear about one thing, that is, the big boss behind him is this Su Mo.
Therefore, for Robert, Su Mo is not only a super capable person, but also his benefactor, his angel, and even his God!
Until the movie Saw was handed over to him, he had no doubt about the quality of the script. He was just worried that he would not do well and his boss would not be able to do well.God will be disappointed.
Fortunately, after he did his best to cooperate with other staff of the company to shoot the film, and tried his best to make the film released simultaneously in 36 countries including Europe and the United States.
This low-cost horror film with an investment of only 1.25 million US dollars, which also includes almost all the expenses such as actor appearance fees, props, publicity, etc., actually got a first-day box office of 27 million US dollars.
Robert was so happy that he was almost crazy!
Without a famous director or famous actors, it can achieve this result. This movie can be called a small miracle in 23 years, or even in historical movies!
Just when Robert thought that this would be his highlight moment.
He never dreamed that he would receive a call from God.
God actually said that he would make this IP into a series and sent two subsequent scripts at once.
Robert was instantly so happy that he was even willing to kneel in front of Su Mo and pray to him for a day and a night.
No, ten days and ten nights, or even one year or two years!
Of course, worship and prayer are not feasible now!
After receiving the two scripts, Robert quickly printed them out.
He quickly browsed through them and his whole face was full of smiles.
The same taste, the same taste is sublimating the script.
Success is not just one time, but will become a continuous success.
Robert can even foresee that when the IP of "Saw" is built, he and his film company will become a myth of world-class release films.
He saw it!
He couldn't wait to call the director who had just finished shooting the first movie and others to his office, and then he solemnly handed the script of "Saw 2" to the director, and said very seriously: "This is my trust in you, and it is also the beginning of you, me, and Bernard creating a world myth!
Please take it seriously and value him. If you can't do it, then in the future, it will be others who stand in the light with me!"
