Chapter 135

Genius one second to remember, to provide you with wonderful novel reading.

"The secret?" Murphy shook his head. "I don't think secrets help a lot in making a movie."

Miranda on the other side showed a look of interest. James Franco, Jonah hill and Seth Logan looked at her with the same interest.

They know more about Murphy and his past. It's impossible for them not to be curious about the change in a short period of time.

Of course, Murphy has a secret, but he can't tell others.

After thinking about it for a while, he said, "before the project started, I was seriously studying the techniques of horror movies. As a result, I found that everything from content to form, such as claustrophobia, serial killers, haunted houses, psychic exorcism, doll curse, looming ghosts, sudden sounds and unexpected reversals, is Hollywood's classic convention."

Hearing Murphy's words, Daisy can't help nodding her head when she thinks about the horror movies she've seen in the past. If she brings out the single scene of "electric saw", she can really find a familiar shadow in the past Hollywood movies.

"These are just the basis of a horror film," Murphy knows how to say in order to achieve the best publicity effect. "If you want to make the film brilliant, you must carefully arrange these, carefully schedule the camera lens and sound, and place the location of the saw, the time of the mystery, and the rhythm of the flash back to impregnable."

Many people in the audience are nodding, after all, Murphy is not empty talk, but a movie in the show as evidence.

"I want everyone to have no time to relax their tight nerves from beginning to end and enjoy themselves to the last second." Murphy said sincerely, "build a brand-new movie with Hollywood's stereotyped building blocks that can make everyone interested."

Miranda clapped first and turned to the audience and said, "Murphy did it, right?"

No one answered. The answer was warm applause like waves.

"What he said was wonderful!" Daisy heard someone nearby saying, "this is a director who pays great attention to the audience, not the one who makes inexplicable movies."

Another responded, "even for his words, I'm going to watch the movie again."

Daisy also considered whether she wanted to buy tickets again?

"I don't think horror movies need big scenes, big stars and special effects to attract people." Murphy concluded, "horror movies don't rely on flashy means, but on hard work."

He looked at the audience, "it's better to scare the audience out of their wits, but they can't stop."

There was a burst of laughter, followed by warm applause.

These words are not Murphy said casually, but summed up according to the experience of the former director.

Wen's horror films have always been a model of low investment and high return in the industry, from the famous "electric saw" series to the later "Lurk" and "evocation" series, no matter whether he is a screenwriter, director or producer. He has never failed. His fierce market potential has won him a wide reputation and won the unanimous recognition of money oriented producers.

James Wen is also one of the few Chinese American directors who can make it to the forefront of Hollywood.

As Murphy is doing, these are not by mouth gun or genius, such as boast, but step by step to get.

At the end of the program, Murphy and his party quickly returned to the backstage.

"Well done."

In a crisp voice, Murphy looked ahead, and Carla Firth came over. "I'm very interested in you and your film."

Murphy opened her hand and laughed.

Carla Firth came closer and said in a low voice, "it's still your style to talk and do things. You haven't changed."

"What can I be?" Murphy turned and walked to the dressing room. "I'll take off my make-up."

James Franco. Seth Logan and Jonah Hill quickly followed.

Kerry Mulligan takes a look at Carla Firth and walks to the ladies' dressing room.

After struggling in the workplace for so many years, Carla Firth can read something from her eyes, but she doesn't care at all.

With her identity and experience, how can she care about the thoughts and opinions of a 16-year-old girl.

After taking off his make-up, Bill rosis negotiated the rest with the TV station. When Murphy and his party left, it was very late. Kara Firth took Murphy to the front hall where the TV studio was.

"That's all for today." Murphy waved goodbye to her. "You go back."

Carla Firth nodded. "I won't send you off. I'll ask you to have coffee another day."

Without looking at Kerry Mulligan, she turned and walked to the studio where the crew was.

Just like before, she didn't plan to do anything, so she didn't have to worry about Kerry Mulligan.

It was really late. After coming out, several people waved, got on their cars and drove in different directions.After finishing the uncomfortable seat belt, Kerry Mulligan's unhappiness was written on his face from the time he got on the bus. At this time, he looked at the road ahead and didn't say a word.

"What's the matter?" Murphy gave her a look.

Kerry Mulligan tilted his head and still didn't speak.

Although Murphy has no experience in this field, seeing Kerry Mulligan's appearance, he can't help thinking of Seth Logan's words.

He turned around, drove into the main road and said with a smile, "honey, you think too much. Carla and I are just friends."

Although occasionally a little bit off the grid joke, but he and Kara - FES really just friends, and never want to further.

"Really not?" Kerry Mulligan turned and looked here with wide eyes, as if interrogating a prisoner. "Or are you lying to me?"

Murphy frowned and said, "when I met Carla Firth, I didn't even have fifty dollars on me. Do you think someone as proud as her would like me?"

Kerry Mulligan's tight baby face did not relax at all, "but now you are not what you used to be!"

She heard Elizabeth banks say that if a director is successful, many women will immediately post it and try their best to please him.

"Don't worry." Murphy reached out and pinched Kerry Mulligan's face. "Even if she can see me, I can't see her."

As the tight baby face relaxed, Kerry Mulligan turned around, sat back on the co pilot and whispered, "I've fallen out with my parents, I've fallen out with Uncle Julian, and I don't have anything to rely on but you."

Murphy knows all these things, and the hard heart that has been tempered also gushes out a soft, "honey, as long as you want, I will always be your dependence."

Kerry Mulligan turned, looked at Murphy close at hand, and nodded his head.

In fact, Murphy knows that in this unpredictable world, grasping the present is the best way. No one can predict what will happen in the future. After all, the circle where the two live is called Hollywood.

The program interview is just the beginning of a series of publicity plans for Fox Searchlight. The box office results of "electric saw" far exceeded expectations, which gave them strong confidence. Now that they have made such a box office, they naturally want to make more profits. From the next day, the crew headed by Murphy, led by Fox Searchlight professionals, opened the North American publicity campaign Brigade.

There's nothing special about these promotions. They're basically Hollywood routines.

Maybe it's because of the expansion of the screening of the film again, or because the program of that day and the subsequent publicity played a role, the second week after the expansion of the screening, that is, the third week after the release of the movie, there was no huge diving drop. Instead, it continued to conquer the North American market in a relatively stable way.

In the first four working days of this week, the box office in a single day remained around $1.5 million. Before the opening of the third weekend on Friday, the North American box office of the film industry reached as much as $31.28 million.

That's three times what Fox Searchlight and most companies expected in North America!

Over the next three days of the weekend, "the chainsaw thriller" drew a beautiful box office chart rarely seen in horror movies. Compared with last weekend's results, it fell by less than 40% and got $11.2 million, pushing the North American box office over $40 million!

The box office of 42.48 million dollars is enough to blind many people.

As last time, Stanton studios also announced that the production cost of the film is $800000, which seems that the return on investment of 50 times is more terrible than the film itself.

According to Fox Searchlight, DreamWorks has fired two independent film buyers, and Morris entertainment has replaced its deputy director of distribution

"Electric saw" has achieved much more than expected results, but it can not change the inherent defects of a small audience. After the new week, due to the expansion of the screening in the first two weeks, enough potential horror movie fans have been consumed, and the box office of the film has shown a downward trend.

In seven days a week, after several ups and downs, the movie got more than $6.7 million, and the box office in North America was approaching $50 million.

However, the number of cinemas of the film also began to shrink sharply. In the middle of August, less than 1200 cinemas were still showing. On August 14, Murphy and "the electric saw" ushered in a historic moment.

After the movie won $720000 in a single day, the North American box office of this horror movie finally broke through the $50 million mark!

Like all normal movies, the number of theaters and the North American box office of the movie are shrinking in the following time. As for what kind of figure the final box office will stay on, we can only rely on time to accumulate.

Murphy and his party have returned to the city of angels. Fox Searchlight has prepared a grand celebration party, but before that, he is going to visit his drug addicted old friend in California state prison.
