930 [Chainsaw Horror]
However, despite knowing the difficulty, Luo Yuan still plans to make the overseas branch established by Crimson Red become a top film company like Huanxing within ten years, because he has the backing of the domestic head office and also has countless movies in his mind.
It’s a movie idea that is completely in line with the taste of foreign audiences, and it can even be shot without any modifications to the content!
It's not like Hachiko.
Or something like "Iron Man".
Because the national conditions are different, some adaptations had to be made.
Of course, it is impossible for overseas branches to make blockbusters in the early stage. Firstly, the initial investment will not be that high. Secondly, Luo Yuan also wants to explore the bottom of the foreign market, so he plans to learn from the path of Lionsgate, the Hollywood film company in his previous life.
, shooting two low-cost thrillers and horror films in the early stage to test the waters.
Luo Yuan has also made thriller movies.
It is Luo Yuan's second film in China, "Human Purge". Unfortunately, that film, like "Initial D", was very inconspicuous in Luo Yuan's film career. Many people say that that film
Too niche...
With this experience, Luo Yuan will be more careful when choosing scripts.
For example, the first script he prepared for the branch was a trump card IP. In his previous life, the first part of this series took only 5 days to prepare and 18 days to shoot. All the actors had no rehearsals.
The car chase scene in the film was shot in a garage, and some of the frightening scenes in the film were inspired by director James W. and Leigh Whannell's childhood nightmares.
This is the "Saw" series of horror thrillers!
Directed by Chinese-American director James Wan, the first film premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in January 2004, and was released around the world on October 29 of the same year, bringing in a box office of US$55.18 million in North America!
This is a classic for horror movie lovers!
The reason why Luo Yuan originally chose "Human Purge" instead of "Saw" is because this movie contains too much blood. Although Luo Yuan's movies are not "Snow and Snow", he still has his own discomfort.
, that’s why I didn’t shoot it
Luo Yuan knows all kinds of information about this series.
Due to the success of the first episode, the production team of "Saw" successively filmed 6 sequels in the next 6 years. The film's short shooting time, low cost, and high box office set records one after another, so it was
It is regarded as a classic horror film. Unfortunately, this series of films contains too much violence and gore. There have been many incidents of moviegoers being frightened and fainting in the theater after the release. Therefore, the psychological endurance is poor and the content of internal organs, dismemberment, etc.
Sensitive people are not suitable to watch this movie.
But this did not prevent Luo Yuan from writing the first script of this series.
It can be said that it is very suitable to use "Chain Saw" as a test film for Crimson's overseas branch. Moreover, the potential audience for horror films in overseas markets is much larger than that in China. This is due to the different personalities of people in each country.
There is nothing to say about the differences.
Anyway, this is true in past and present lives.
However, it is not enough to prepare only one film in the early stage. Luo Yuan plans to work on two fronts. While filming "Saw", he also prepared another horror film for the branch. This horror film is called "Silence of Silence".
land"!
This is also a classic that uses small things to make a big difference.
Among the many Hollywood commercial blockbusters, it is special. The production cost was only 17 million, but it received countless box office in North America in its previous life. Of course, this movie was a bit of a hit when it was released in China in its previous life, but Luo Yuan made it so popular in this life.
The fact that an overseas company made this movie shows that the overseas market is the focus, rather than the domestic audience.
For domestic audiences, Crimson Headquarters will satisfy you.
Luo Yuan quite likes "A Quiet Place". The background of the film is set in the near future. Due to the invasion of aliens, most people on the earth have died. This kind of alien creature has no sense of sight and smell, but has an extremely keen sense of smell.
The sense of hearing relies entirely on sound to hunt prey. In this environment, the protagonist's family of four took shelter in a remote and quiet place outside the city, struggling to survive. They only relied on sign language to communicate in their daily lives and tried not to make too many noises.
As a result, due to an accident, a series of disasters followed one after another.
Previous life.
"A Quiet Place" was well-received upon its release in North America, with a Rotten Tomatoes score of 95%, and even reached 100% at one point, which shows that it has an explosive reputation. However, domestic film review websites all give it a score of around 6.
The box office performance was mediocre, not as good as "Cohabitation" released on the same day. In fact, from this point of view, we can see that domestic and foreign movie-watching habits and preferences are very different, and it is also in line with Luo Yuan's expectations for domestic and foreign horror film lovers.
Summary of taste.
Of course.
This "A Quiet Place" is definitely not as good as "Saw", but among low-budget horror films, it is a pretty reliable choice, enough to be one of Crimson Branch's early preparations, and it can also be harvested
"Saw" ate up the remaining box office.
As for what to film next...
In fact, the problem is not complicated, because the branch can at least hold on to the series started by "Chain Saw" and continue to film the second, third, fourth and so on. In the past life, it could film so many films, but in this life
Same thing.
This is Luo Yuan's advance plan.
His plan mainly focuses on the works that the company is preparing to launch in the early stage. As for other aspects, things other than movies, Wang Qi must be in charge. I believe Wang Qi can take care of everything, and the producers of these two movies
Wang Qi is also required to be the person. Producers play a very important role in foreign countries. The popular Western system is a producer-centered system, while in China it is a director-centered system.
Luo Yuan trusted Wang Qi's ability.
So he hopes Wang Qi will master the style of the movie.
After being exposed to Scarlet for many years, Wang Qi's understanding of movies is not bad, and it has improved rapidly now. Therefore, Luo Yuan only needs to talk to Wang Qi about many things, and the other party can understand what Luo Yuan means, and
to put it into practice.
that's all.
Crimson's overseas market exploration has officially begun. It is no longer the past kind of taking domestically produced movies to be screened abroad in the hope that they will meet the tastes of Western audiences, but directly facing Western audiences and adapting to their tastes.
to shoot a movie

Eighty out of ten people will give the answer:
