Chapter 54 Counterattack
As the new week begins, the publicity of "Human Purge Plan" has increased sharply, and the main creators of the crew have also appeared in the media, attracting more people's attention.
Several major actors also accepted interviews from different media and gradually began to accumulate fame inside and outside the circle.
These help keep the film popular.
In addition, starting Monday, the screening and screening rates of "Human Purge" have been increasing, which are the basis for generating box office.
Thanks to the increase in screen count, the film's first working day's box office fell by only 55% from Sunday, and closed at $1.87 million on Monday.
In the next few days, with the support of the increased publicity offensive and the increasing screening theaters, the single-day box office trend of "Human Purge Plan" was steady, winning US$1.8 million, US$1.65 million and US$1.52 million respectively.
The box office combined in four working days reached $6.84 million.
The North American box office of "Human Purge" easily crossed the $20 million mark.
"Mom! Mom!"
In a small apartment, Amanda Seyfried ran into the living room with a newspaper and shouted excitedly: "Look! Hurry up! Ronan mentioned me in an interview."
Although she participated in two media announcements this week, she received not much attention compared to the adult actor.
Mrs. Seyfried put down the cookbook in her hand and looked up and asked, "What did Ronan Anderson say?"
"Ah, of course it's a praise! I performed so well!" Amanda was a little proud at first, then imitated the tone of a man and said in the newspaper: "Ms. Amanda Seyfried is the most spiritual little actor I have ever seen. Her performance, her understanding and thinking about the role are amazing. I think her trait is very charming, and she has fulfilled her character creation on the set, because she can get into the role very quickly and contribute to the director's performance."
Mrs. Seyfried nodded: "That's right, it's not in vain for so much cake."
Amanda walked to her mother and sat down, saying, "I performed well, and Ronan is also good."
"Yes, a good young man." Mrs. Seyfried agreed.
Although the film producers have not seen many, they have heard many rumors. Ronan Anderson is just a little stingy during negotiations, and at other times he is really a good person with strict self-requirement.
Modesty and hardworking and upright.
Not to mention the entertainment industry, it is extremely rare for such young people to be in society.
Besides, this young man is creating great success.
“The box office in North America is over $20 million,” Mrs. Seyfried whispered: “The second weekend has just begun.”
"Mom." Amanda, limited to age and experience, did not understand the meaning of box office in depth enough, and asked: "Is the box office of $20 million great?"
Mrs. Seyfried shook her head: "My stupid daughter, you need to understand one thing. In Hollywood, producers and production companies investing in movies are always a business act, and the ultimate goal is to make commercial profits."
Amanda understood this: "Make money?"
"Only money-making movies in Hollywood are good movies." Mrs. Seyfried has studied in-depth during this period: "Only producers who can make money can continue to succeed and bring more opportunities."
She looked at Amanda Seyfried: "Do you understand?"
I hope my daughter can grow up early. This is a complicated circle, especially Amanda is so beautiful and cute.
It is not easy to make a lot of money but not let your daughter suffer losses.
Mrs. Seyfried picked up the cookbook again: "$20 million is just the beginning of "The Human Purge Plan", which is only one week after the film is released. Even if the horror film has a short lifespan, it will have two to three weeks later. What is the final box office?"
Amanda opened her mouth, not knowing how to answer.
Mrs. Seyfried stretched out her hand and gently stroked her daughter's long blonde hair: "Only those who succeed can continue to succeed. I heard from people on the crew that Ronan Anderson and James Huang are still preparing for a new film."
"I've heard of it, too." Amanda echoed.
"Don't you have Ronan Anderson's contact information?" Mrs. Seyfried taught carefully: "Contact him and see when he has time, and then go and give him some cake."
Except for negotiations, Ronan Anderson gave her a very good impression.
Amanda nodded: "I'll send a text message to ask."
...
When Ronan received Amanda's text message, he was writing the script outline. When he saw the little girl saying she was coming to deliver the cake, he told her that she was not available for the time being.
He finally found a suitable idea, but he didn't want someone to disturb him.
"The Death is Coming" cannot be delayed for too long. James Huang and Glenn Morgan are conducting initial written work such as scripts and storyboard artworks, and Ronan also wants to promote project preparations as quickly as possible.
After operating a "Human Purge Plan", Ronan knew very well that if the project "The God of Death is Coming", if you really want to shoot the ideal effect, you can't handle it by millions of dollars, and a budget of tens of millions of dollars is a must.
Fortunately, there are "Arab brothers".
But when dealing with Abu Dhabi, Ronan knew that those people were rich but not stupid.
Especially for projects like "The God of Death", it is difficult to impress the people of the Abu Dhabi Investment Bureau by using profits as bait alone.
He had thought before that two projects were bundled with fundraising, and the other was a real Arab movie.
With the Human Purge Plan as the basis, it is possible to attract investment.
If it really doesn't work, he has another plan, "The God of Death is Coming" will raise private financing from Abu Dhabi, and another Arab project will raise financing from the Investment Bureau.
One project satisfies the Investment Bureau, and another project is approved for private financing.
First, appropriately cash out part of the profits for Abu Dhabi merchants who invested in the Human Purge Plan, and then raise funds for the new project...
Unfortunately, the richest person in Abu Dhabi is the official one.
The amount and difficulty of private financing should not be as good as the investment bureau.
However, the two movies can be operated in a package and can be used appropriately.
If you have a clear plan and prepare the script, it will be more targeted.
This time, Ronan plans to tailor the script for the Abu Dhabi Investment Bureau. The genre is the most popular action film nowadays. It roughly tells the story of a powerful Abu Dhabi agent encountering a conspiracy from terrorists and launching a massacre to save the world.
In the plot, we draw on some of the settings of "Ace Agents". Of course, the British gentleman's set is not suitable for Arabs, and the character designs and other characters must be changed.
Well... this project is called "Ace Agent".
Heroes destroy the conspiracy and thus save the world.
Very cliché content, but it is also the most convincing model of success.
With the supporting roles of "Human Purge Plan" as the foundation, this time the Arab character was directly upgraded to the protagonist.
If the film can be sold well, can it be possible to create an Arab James Bond... No, it is the Ethan Hant series.
Ronan shook his head immediately. His head was very clear and he did not expect such a movie to make a profit in North America or the world.
After this cheating, I guess the cooperation with the Arabs will be temporarily calmed down. Catching a sheep will cause problems.
Once again, Ronan began to write the important protagonist's character in the script outline. The male protagonist must have agile posture, handsome appearance, outstanding skills... Oh, by the way, since he is an Arab, he must also have pious beliefs.
As for terrorists? It is absolutely not possible to write about Jews directly. Is it a problem for yourself or a white person?
The white people in the movie just want to ruin it. The mainstream American media will definitely not clamor for this.
Isn’t white people just used to ruin them in movies?
Just like this "Human Purge Plan", many media and well-known film critics interpreted various realistic propositions related to American society, but no one said that black people and Arab supporting roles were wrong to kill white people.
Politically correct, the impact will become more and more profound in the future, and even a major liquidation of what happened in the past will be carried out in the future.
Some things need to be paid attention to.
Just as Ronan was preparing for the next plan in Sandhai Entertainment’s office, The Human Purge Plan began its second weekend screening journey for North American cinemas.
On the first day of this weekend, the scale of screenings of "Human Purge Plan" soared to nearly 2,500, second only to "Halloween 7" in terms of theaters and screening rates.
The film made a counterattack on Friday, surpassing Halloween 7's $3.01 million for $3.21 million, winning its first single-day box office championship since its screening.
