After the premiere, Matthew specially invited James Win to get into his car. James Win had just bought a luxury house in Beverly Hills. It was not far from Horner Manor. The two of them were just on the way, and they took this time to talk.

"James, have you figured out your next plan?" Matthew asked.

"It's basically confirmed." James Wen was in a good mood and said with a smile. "I've talked to the Warner Bros. people. They can be released next spring and are still in preparation. If there is no accident, the Halloween schedule will be released next year."

Matthew nodded, and before he could continue to ask questions, James Win further explained, "I think we should focus on the G-series for the time being, lay a solid foundation with these two series, and then expand outward to establish a broader worldview."

"I agree." Matthew fully acknowledged James Win's words.

The horror universe has a good start, which does not mean that it has been successful. If you are too impatient, maybe the next expansion movie will affect the development of the entire universe. It is better to use it to pull more fans and then expand steadily.

He still remembers the lessons from the Justice League universe, and he really can't eat hot tofu in an anxious mood.

James Wen Jin continued, "I have plans to expand the movie with a new worldview."

Matthew was interested, "Tell me, let's see."

Not to mention Matthew, even Margot Robbie, who was sitting in the passenger seat, held his ears up.

Before, she vaguely heard people telling people that Matthew was planning a horror film universe, but she didn't expect it to be so smooth.

James Winn didn't go around the circle and said directly, "The first step to expanding the world view is to use the Annabelle doll as the center of the story." He thought for a while and said, "I will add a terrifying nun character in the second part. If that character responds well, you can also make a movie alone."

Matthew agreed, "Yes, you can get a plan for it. I said, James, you are responsible for the entire universe."

This trust made James Wen nodded heavily. When he was working for the Lions Gate, there were too many messy restraints in the Lions Gate, and he couldn't do anything at all.

After switching to Matthew, he got the greatest support and power that a director could get. To be honest, if Steven Spielberg made movies for six major Hollywood companies, the power he could get was nothing more than that.

There is also treatment, and Matthew paid a good salary, but after filming two films, he had enough funds to buy a tens of millions of dollars in Beverly Hills.

It's not too easy to make tens of millions of dollars just by following Matthew.

"James, I'll leave it to you." Matthew's supervision that should have never been relaxed, but he trusts James Win's ability very much. "I believe you can bring different horror movies to Hollywood."

Of course, if you want to retain talents, a salary increase is inevitable.

The production budget has increased from $15 million to $35 million. The production scale has not actually expanded, and it is still a model similar to small-scene productions. The rising budget mainly comes from James Winn's inevitable increase in film pay, and Nicholas Cage and Villa Farmega's increased pay.

This world is very realistic. No one can make the main creators pay for the first movie forever.

If you don’t pay, how can you get the reward? Hollywood likes money not only Matthew Horner, but everyone!

Even the literary and artistic artists also have their own material and spiritual pursuits. In today's world, these require money to be realized.

Mercedes-Benz business car entered Beverly Hills and soon stopped in front of the mansion that James Win bought shortly.

James Win got out of the car and invited, "I'll hold a party at home in a few days. Matthew, do you have time?"

Of course, Matthew would not refuse and said, "Call me directly after confirming the specific time."

James Win looked at the co-pilot again and invited, "Miss Robbie, you are welcome to visit you at that time."

Margot Robbie nodded, "I am honored."

Waving to the two people in the car, watching the Mercedes-Benz Commercial Car start and drive away, James Wen turned around and walked towards the door. It was not yet time to relax, and there was a lot of work waiting for him next.

But he didn't feel tired or troublesome, but he was in high spirits. These are all his favorite film careers.

“The reviews on social media are very good.”

On the driving car, Margot Robbie turned around and said to Matthew, "I read three websites and dozens of comments. Some fans, media, and film critics, and basically no negative reviews were seen."

Matthew smiled, "This is our marketing and promotion well." After saying that, he added, "This video is also good, and it is definitely one of the best horror movies in recent years."

He was also looking through his phone, and he was naturally reading comments from non-propaganda and marketing media.

Among them, the comments from famous movie fans on Twitter can be said to be very sharp.

"The outstanding thing is that it does not follow the deliberate sound atmosphere of horror movies, but uses clever layout concepts to make horror brew with the progress of the plot. As the director, James Wen, in this wilderness hut haunted story that has been used by many classic horror movies, relies on his solid directing skills and excellent rhythm control to mobilize the viewer's emotions freely. The rendering technique of leaving blanks creates a more outstanding strange atmosphere than visual impact. With the arrival of the ending, this horror movie adapted from real events has really shuddered."

Another tweet with a very high retweet was mentioned.

"This film is very good, and no one can deny James Wen's directorial skills in horror films, but some people also need to pay attention to it, and they are all from Matthew's investment. It is Matthew's knowledge of people and his full new position that gives James Wen a stage to fully display his talents."

Matthew suddenly thought of Harvey Weinstein. When James Win switched to his studio, Harvey Weinstein seemed to have helped him. If it weren't for the Oscar Night's action of putting James Win in house arrest, James Win would probably not have devoted himself to the shooting and production of the horror universe.

By the way, Harvey Weinstein still helped him with a God-like assist.

Unfortunately, this Jewish fat man is about to face the most difficult test in his life.

Even his identity as a Jewish person cannot play much role in the face of the tide of social development.

Jewish people are helpful in their development in Hollywood, but they cannot become the gold medal of avoiding death.

"Is it a movie universe like Marvel?" Margot Robbie asked curiously again.

Matthew nodded slightly, "Our goal is to build a complete world of horror."

Margot Robbie understood, "You are going to keep shooting the horror movies in this series."

Matthew couldn't help laughing, "Horror movies are easiest to make big money with small things."

Horror films are already common in the North American market. Currently, Hollywood companies are keen on investing in low-cost thriller movies, with low risks and high returns being the primary reasons.

As we all know, low-cost horror movies are more likely to make profits and even create amazing box office revenues due to their low cost.

Of course, as a not-so-large category among many Hollywood movies, the market for horror films is still limited after all. For example, as well as films that are designated as "r" in North America, it belongs to viewers under the age of 17 to need their parents to accompany them to watch, which limits the audience group of the film.

Moreover, Hollywood's low-cost thriller films are still not the main force of overseas distribution, and the overseas market still relies on large-scale commercial films.

The main battlefield of Hollywood horror movies is in North America.

However, the success of horror films is very accidental, and there are only a handful of films that can achieve such high ROI.

Matthew had done a market survey before, and the overall return on investment of horror films was 67%, far less than that of first-tier commercial productions.

Horror films are low in cost, targeted, and have guaranteed profits, but large and medium-sized production companies prefer large productions because large productions can ensure they have sufficient cash flow.

Matthew's studio strength is much worse than that of the six major companies, and pursuing small costs and high returns is the king.

In fact, he is taking advantage of loopholes.

Hollywood is increasingly pursuing globalization and inevitably "ignoring" the traditional North American market. Large production companies are making global commercial films, so they will use the market conditions at home and abroad as the basis for their risk assessment. In this case, film companies will be more inclined to make sequels and remakes of movies, which is relatively safe.

However, low-cost horror films are aimed at the local market and can better take care of the wishes of North American audiences, which determines that this type of film can be used as a new stimulus and is popular among North American audiences.

Unlike North America, horror movies on the other side of the Pacific are the fun that countless people complain about.

There, horror films are the most restricted censorship among all movies, which cuts off the possibility of the birth of many excellent horror films from the root.

Once an ordinary movie audience, Matthew believes that the market there demand for horror films is no less than that in North America.

Unfortunately, self-produced horror movies are inherently deficient, and foreign horror movies are extremely difficult to enter.

Fortunately, there are pirated copies everywhere on the Internet, which can meet the needs of the majority of viewers who love horror movies.
