Chapter 237: Start the journey to the lower part
Just as Wang Xuanyuan and Scarlett were about to walk into the campus gate, Ryan's red sports car made a roaring sound of refueling from behind and stopped beside Wang Xuanyuan with a thud.
The car window slowly rolled down, and Ryan, who was wearing sunglasses, stretched out his head. When he saw the two people walking together in front of him, he didn't say much. Instead, he seemed to say generously: "Asian Skinny Monkey, Let me tell you, despite your performance in school, but let me tell you, our affairs are not over yet. My father has already found a relationship for me and contacted several movie theaters in Los Angeles to get my movie Show it in a movie theater, haha, yours is just a show in schools at best, mine is a theatrical movie."
After Wang Xuanyuan heard this, he said in a neither humble nor condescending tone: "A one-day trip to a theater is also called a theater movie."
Hearing what he said, Ryan's face looked a little ugly. He said loudly: "Mine is not a one-day trip. My dad found several large theaters to schedule and show movies normally." After he finished speaking, He turned around and looked at Scarlett, and continued: "Scarlett, get in the car and follow me. I will take you to the premiere day. I am going to have a big premiere day, and I will take you with me then."
After hearing this, Scarlett said disdainfully: "Who wants to go with you? I still have classes to attend, so I won't accompany you." After speaking, she tugged on Wang Xuanyuan's clothes.
Wang Xuanyuan understood and said: "Congratulations to you, Mr. Ryan. Congratulations on your theatrical release and two-day tour."
Hearing Wang Xuanyuan's somewhat funny words, Ryan wanted to get angry but couldn't. He could only snort heavily: "Asian boy, just wait and see, wait for my movie to be released in the cinema." After saying that, he stepped on the accelerator.
Wang Xuanyuan and Scarlett continued to walk into the school. At this time, his cell phone rang. He took it out and saw that it was a message sent to him by Yuan, telling him that Ryan begged his father to find him a relationship and let him shoot the film. It was released in theaters for a while. His father finally agreed to his request.
After reading it, Scarlett sent a message back to Yuan, and then said to Scarlett: "It seems that this Young Master Ryan is determined to change his mind, and he must have a showdown."
Scarlett said worriedly: "What should we do? What if what he said is true."
Wang Xuanyuan said calmly: "Let him do it. I still have my own things to do and I won't compete with him."
Scarlett said: "Yes, I know this is not your ambition, Xuanyuan."
In the afternoon, Michelle received a message saying that the first remittance from Bad Robot Company had arrived, and she was now repaying the loan at the bank.
In the following period, Wang Xuanyuan's "Salem" was re-edited by Abrams' Bad Robot Company, and the theater release schedule was also put forward, because this is Sky Dance This is the first movie produced by the production company, so the boss David Ellison is personally involved in all matters.
The active participation of the founders of the two production companies made the movie "Salem" move very quickly. Wang Xuanyuan has watched Abrams's re-edited feature film. Needless to say, the effect is better than Wang Xuanyuan's. The films I produced are much more sophisticated and have rich storylines.
The story line edited by Wang Xuanyuan himself is a single-line story, which is okay according to a campus experimental film, but if it is released in theaters, it will appear very immature and childish. After re-editing by Abrams, two clues went side by side, one as the main one and the other as a supplement, making the whole story much richer and fuller.
In order to make his first production and distribution company a success, David Ellison did not hesitate to spend a lot of money on promotion and packaging. He is a wealthy man himself, and his father is an Oracle giant, so he does not care how much money he spends, just for Become famous in one battle.
He used some of his father's connections to establish a connection with the chairman of the Los Angeles International Cultural Film Festival and let Wang Xuanyuan's re-produced "Salem" hold its premiere here.
It is news in itself that a newcomer's low-budget film can premiere at the Los Angeles International Cultural Film Festival. In addition, the quality of this film is quite good, and it does not disappoint Abrams and David Avery too much. Sen's face.
Next, Ellison tried to persuade most of the theater members of the Los Angeles Area Theater Association to agree to release the film. At the same time, Wang Xuanyuan attended several road shows to promote his film.
When "Salem" was officially released in the Los Angeles area, it immediately attracted a lot of people's attention, and it ranked first at the weekend box office.
Also being released at the same time was Ryan's "The Water Lotus", which was really just like Wang Xuanyuan said, a two-day theater trip, and no one even counted its box office.
During the theatrical release stage, Wang Xuanyuan powerfully crushed Ryan. This has something to do with the quality of the film itself and the connections behind the film.
After seeing the good results of "Salem" in the Los Angeles area, Ellison and Abrams worked non-stop and shared the film's national distribution rights with Universal.
Universal, as a giant Hollywood production company, after seeing the results of "Salem" in Los Angeles, realized that this newcomer's film might become a hit, so it invested a lot of money Promotional funds.
Within the next two months, Wang Xuanyuan took a break from film school. It was Abrams' suggestion that he first become a full-time filmmaker, which Wang Xuanyuan did after careful consideration.
In the past two months, Wang Xuanyuan traveled all over the United States to promote the company. Originally, Universal wanted to transfer Wang Xuanyuan to a behind-the-scenes job. Universal did not want such an Asian face to appear. However, after Wang Xuanyuan argued hard, Universal finally compromised.
Throughout the summer, there was a wave of horror in the United States. With a production cost of 300,000 US dollars, "Salem" earned a box office of 60 million US dollars in North America. It can be said to be a beautiful classic movie example of using a small amount to make a big impact. .
Wang Xuanyuan did not get much from the 60 million box office. The contract he signed with Abrams did not include a box office share, so even if the box office is more, it has nothing to do with him. Fortunately, Abrams Meuse and Ellison paid Wang Xuanyuan a lot of money for publicity and road shows, which was enough for him to repay all the loans and have enough living funds in his bank card.
Three months later, the rights to "Fifty Shades of Gray" were settled. Ellison bought the film rights, and Dakota's mother Williams also compromised on the plan. After all, this is Williams. The first thing she discovered was that she had only one request, that her daughter Dakota should star in the film.
After negotiations, the "Fifty Shades of Grey" project was finalized, with director Wang Xuanyuan, Bad Robot and Skydance responsible for producing, and Universal responsible for North American distribution. Dakota Johnson plays the female lead, while the male lead is played by British supermodel Jamie Dornan.
Wang Xuanyuan is fully responsible for the project, with a production capital of 5 million.
Next, Wang Xuanyuan began the journey of his second movie. See more! Prestige official account: hhxs665
