"Welcome, it''s a great honor for Stanton studio to be here..."
At the door of a small theater in West Hollywood, Murphy, Bill rosis and Paul Wilson stood here to welcome the representatives of several companies who came to watch the film. When everyone came, he took the initiative to shake hands and put on the most enthusiastic smile, as if they were all in the presence of the Emperor.
As long as we can wait to achieve our goal, Murphy doesn''t care that she has a stiff smile on her whole face today.
Originally, he wanted to hold the audition in the conference room of the hotel. Later, for the sake of viewing effect, he rented the theater for one morning for 1000 dollars.
Most movies, seen in the conference room, have completely different effects from those seen in professional cinemas.
What Murphy has done is to sell her films as much as possible.
More than a dozen people entered the theater. Murphy looked at her watch and asked, "bill, are you all here?"
Bill rosis recalled for a moment, "all the people on the list are here."
"Let''s go in." Murphy was the first to walk into the cinema.
After entering the theater, Paul Wilson didn''t go to the screening hall. Instead, he went to the second floor. He, Seth Logan and Jonah Hill would take care of the screening copies all the way, even going to the bathroom in turn.
Although both Stanton studio and the film are anonymous, Murphy will never let go of his precautions.
This film has almost all his wealth, which is directly related to the future development. In case of a mistake, I really can''t cry.
In the small screening hall, more than a dozen people sit in their respective positions. Tony gusman habitually sits in the back row. From his position, we can see many familiar faces in the industry.
The black man in the middle of the third row is Miramax''s Jones Butler.
The person on the left of the fifth row is like Ron Albas of DreamWorks.
He was most surprised by the people in the front row, Milton Johnson, one of Lion Gate''s top executives in charge of distribution.
There are still a few people he doesn''t know. It seems that they are buyers and viewers of some small distribution companies.
It''s no surprise that many companies participated in this internal audition. Tony gusman was surprised that the small Stanton studio and the director of unknown origin could attract so many people.
However, when I think of the data of "fruit hard candy", I am relieved that these people, including him, are realistic.
Without the income data of "fruit hard candy" as the basis, he believes that no more than three people are willing to come here, and it still depends on the name of CAA.
Milton Johnson sits in his seat and doesn''t look around at all. He only cares about the film. If this horror film can arouse his interest, he just sits here and continues to watch it. If not, he will walk away without hesitation.
Since that little guy can bring Miramax a surprise income at the cost of $300000, he will not do worse the second time.
Jones Butler is looking around, which is not uncommon. Directors with successful qualifications are more likely to attract the attention of the industry, and that Bill rosis also borrowed part of CAA''s energy.
Then her eyes turned to the screen. No matter what Stanton studio and CAA do, the film itself is the key. If they don''t even have commercial selling points, these jobs are actually useless.
Milton Johnson tapped his fingers on the armrest of his chair, but his head was wondering if he could keep watching the film.
He had seen "fruit hard candy" before. The film has certain value, but it is too small.
The light on the screen is on, probably without adding the title. After watching the movie for only one minute, Milton Johnson unconsciously rubs his chin, which is his habitual action when he meets something he is interested in.
In a secret room, there are two people who are locked in shackles, and there is a corpse who fell in a pool of blood and shot himself. It''s very concise and makes people wonder why they are locked here and why that person committed suicide?
"Photography, lens use, color, editing, are obviously better than the last one." Tony - gusman gently nodded his head, "the operation of the suspense scene, as always excellent."
There is more plasma than the last film, which makes Jones Butler frown somewhat. But after watching for some time, she has to admit that Murphy Stanton''s progress is obvious, and the quality of the film is much better than "fruit candy".
Although it is a traditional American plasma tablet in essence, the suspense and ingenious killing mechanism are added in it, but it has a bright effect.
Half of the movie, even if there is no amazing feeling, Jones Butler still nodded, pen in hand kept in the book to remember, this film can be listed as a selling point of too much content.
"Extraordinary creative ingenious thinking, true description of the dark side of human nature, ups and downs of plot arrangement, unique treatment of the unknown, dark, claustrophobic, dying and other classic elements, interlocking details nesting, powerful ending, with appropriate plasma staining..."Her book is full of pages.
More importantly, with years of experience, Jones Butler can clearly judge that this is not a super niche film like "fruit candy", but a popular type in horror films.
This is very important, because it will directly reflect the market value of the film!
No market value of the film, for her and Miramax, the meaning of existence is zero!
Tony gusman also nodded, forming his own judgment in his heart. These judgments are still amazing. In the small cost independent films he saw this year, this horror film is definitely a five-star existence.
This is definitely a small cost fighter!
Milton Johnson''s eyes dropped slightly, but he was not interested in the film. Instead, he told the assistant beside him, "tell the people below to contact Stanton studio and take this film as much as possible..."
Just as he spoke, the suicide man stood up in the middle of the secret room. He was the saw!
This unexpected result, even Milton Johnson, who watched countless films, immediately widened his eyes. This outcome is really amazing!
In his mind, he immediately overturned the previous view. If such a horror film is handed over to Lion Gate pictures with appropriate publicity
"Call the Distribution Department and marketing department to have a meeting immediately after going out..." He whispered to his assistant, "you keep in close contact with Stanton studio, and I''ll push the company to buy out the film."
Even if he can''t buy it out, this horror film has also brought him a lot of inspiration.
It''s not just him who overturns the previous view. Tony gusman opens his mouth slightly and looks at the disappearing saw on the screen. He doesn''t seem to know what to say. It''s not just a five-star movie, but the existence of super five-star in a low-cost movie! (to be continued). )
