Chapter 14 Slap Hollywood giants in the face, the counterattack of low cost films
Hollywood's major studios had heard about it long before the film was released.
After all, Chu Xuan had sought them out and was turned away.
Legendary Pictures has become "starved for food" and actually believed the nonsense of that Asian kid.
When other filmmakers chatted behind their backs, they all looked at them with mockery.
Legendary Pictures is a second-rate film and television company.
Even this kind of "home video" dares to be put in the theater, and is not afraid of the audience laughing.
As a result, in less than a week, these high-ranking film companies were completely dumbfounded.
On the Internet, the original "Husband Killing Case" became less popular, but the "Do you dare to watch it?" challenge appeared on the hot search!
Everyone is buzzing about this new and bizarre horror film!
It is said that it is based on real events, and the audience of the theater are all frightened.
While these videos made netizens laugh, they were also curious about the videos themselves.
What the hell is this movie that can scare so many people like that?
As a result, horror movies that originally belonged to a small crowd became popular in an instant.
Many people want to go to the cinema and try it out for themselves to prove their courage!
"John, I saw a super scary movie yesterday, you must not dare to go!"
"Who said that? I'll go see it today! Don't say a word the whole time!"
...
"Sisters, who will accompany me to the movies? I'm curious about the hype on the Internet!"
"Exactly, I want to see it too."
"Let's go, let's go together after get off work!"
...
"Steve, go to the movies tonight."
"Okay, it's been a long time since I watched a movie, what movie?"
"Emmmm...a romance movie."
"real?"
"Trust me, the hero and heroine are very sweet."
"Okay, I'll trust you once... Wait, why are you snickering?"
...
Many viewers who have seen it may be a spoof, or they may want to recommend it to their friends. In short, they keep pulling their friends around to watch "Ghost Records".
On the Internet, netizens have spread it by dozens, and the popularity of the film has risen rapidly!
At the same time, the scores of the two major film review websites imdb and Rotten Tomatoes have also been released.
imdb score: 7.5/10
"The novel shooting method, although the lens is uncomfortable, it makes people feel immersed in the scene and has a strong sense of substitution."
"The horror atmosphere is handled very well, which shows the director's grasp of psychological horror."
"In today's stereotyped horror film market, "Smart: Ghost Recording" is definitely the biggest surprise this year!"
"Warm reminder: remember to wear diapers when going to the cinema/just_kidding"
Rotten Tomatoes score: 86% fresh
"The director's shooting technique has created a precedent! It's simply WOW!"
"The plot of the film is very simple, but the level of horror is pressing, making people feel suffocated gradually."
"There is also the biggest highlight, the acting skills of the male and female protagonists."
"The male protagonist doesn't appear many times, but his tone and lines are very professional, and the atmosphere is excellent."
"The heroine is a little-known actress. This should be her first time on the big screen."
"Please remember this actor, Elizabeth Olsen. I believe she will be seen in other films soon."
...
In the cafe, Ao Mei finally got off work.
She brought herself and Chu Xuan's coffee and came to him.
Since the last time they secretly kissed, the two were suddenly embarrassed.
In addition, Chu Xuan often talked with Legendary about the promotion plan, and the two did not meet like this after that.
Sitting in front of Chu Xuan, Elizabeth Olsen was slightly unnatural.
"Aomei, let me interview you. How does it feel to be a female star?"
"Well, I can't tell, it feels weird..."
Speaking of this, Aomei thought of some oolongs that had been made recently.
"Chu, you know, the customers who come to buy coffee recently are always surprised."
"Yesterday, someone saw me and was shocked. The coffee was spilled on his hand, and he died of laughter."
"He said, aren't you the one possessed by the evil spirit, your fiancé was really killed by you?"
"I don't even know how to answer him... Hahahaha."
Elizabeth Olsen spoke enthusiastically about her changes in the past two days.
More and more people have seen "Smart: Ghost Story", and she is often recognized in cafes or on the street.
Some people ran away when they saw her, and some came to her to sign.
In short, Elizabeth Olsen has a small fire through the screenings these days.
Her tiktok fans also quickly increased from 1,000 to 30,000.
"When it is released in theaters nationwide tomorrow, you will be completely popular."
"Really? I can't believe that so many people watch horror movies."
"Be mentally prepared. Maybe tomorrow, you can instantly increase hundreds of thousands of fans."
"But...the job at the coffee shop is estimated to be lost."
Ao Mei sighed.
In the past two days, fans have occasionally come over to ask for her autograph, or she has been startled by her, which has affected the business of the coffee shop.
The store manager has issued a warning that if this continues, she will be fired.
If she loses this part-time job, Aomei will lose a source of income, and she really doesn't know how to pay the rent.
Seeing her worried look, Chu Xuan couldn't help but want to laugh.
Elizabeth Olsen gave him a coquettish roll, and lightly hammered his arm.
"I'm so miserable, you still laugh at me."
"Because you're stupid, do you know how much you can earn from this film?"
"$5,000, I already got it."
In her opinion, $5,000 is already a lot.
Chu Xuan raised his palms and smiled:
"Did you forget the box office share? If nothing else, it should be this number."
"ten? ten_grand? ($10,000?)"
"Million, Ten_million_dollars!"
"Holy_shit!" Ao Mei was so surprised that she couldn't help but swear.
Ten million dollars was an amount she couldn't even imagine.
5% of the box office split, is there really 10 million US dollars?
Seeing Chu Xuan's expression doesn't seem to be doing anything, her mind goes blank.
At this time, two girls who looked like high school students came to Chu Xuan tremblingly.
"Excuse me to interrupt, are you Micah? Are you dead?"
"Hey, look around..." The girl's friend turned pale and pulled down her sleeves.
"Oh, God!"
Only then did she realize that the person beside her was actually Ao Mei possessed by an evil spirit!
The two girls panicked and rushed out of the cafe.
Seeing this scene, Aomei couldn't help but smile bitterly:
"What should I do, am I going to be like this in the future?"
Chu Xuan smiled and said, "Don't worry, the big deal is to make another movie and let you be the heroine. At that time, everyone will not be afraid of you."
"Really?" Elizabeth Olsen's eyes lit up.
Chu Xuan must be an angel sent by God to save her!
"By the way, Chu. Since this movie is so popular, do you want to make another horror movie while the iron is hot?"
"No, I'm not interested in horror movies for the time being. Want to try other themes?"
"Like what?" Ao Mei propped her head up and looked at Chu Xuan admiringly.
This man is simply too talented.
"What do you think about musicals?" Chu Xuan smiled mysteriously. *
