The box office war between "Paranormal Activity 3" and "Get Out" has come to an end, with "Paranormal Activity 3" taking the lead to end its screenings.

The total global box office is US$272 million!

It’s US$71 million more than the second one, and US$10 million more than the first one!

Such a strong box office has shocked the film and television entertainment industry. It is a common rule that the sequel cannot beat the first one. Now, this rule has been broken by Wen Zhiren and Warner's "Paranormal Activity 3".

Of course, there are many movie series that break this rule, but in horror movie series, they are rare.

The production cost of "Paranormal Activity 3" was US$5 million, with a return on investment of more than 50%!

Wen Zhiren and Werner made a fortune again!

Make people envious, make people jealous!

That is to say, this team that failed once and then focused on horror films has always been proud of the global film industry with its high return on investment.

Even though it doesn’t make as much money as Wu Long’s blockbusters, it is better because it requires less investment, lower risks, and a higher return on investment.

Not compared with Wu Long's blockbusters, but compared with Hao Lai Hu's standard directors, they are obviously a step above.

In terms of box office, they already have a very high status.

Looking at other movies, the production cost is tens of millions, which is several times or even ten times that of "Paranormal Activity 3". However, some box office is less than 100 million US dollars, and some even fails to reach 200 million US dollars. And these are still movies.

common phenomenon in the world.

It is conceivable how many people are jealous of Wen Zhiren and Werner. Why are their horror films so popular?

After "Paranormal Activity 3" is released, everyone is focusing on "Get Out". Although Huang Yiyu did not say anything about "Get Out" with Wen Zhiren and Wenbi, he did not say anything about "Get Out".

" competes with "Paranormal Activity 3", but everyone thinks so by default.

The schedules are about a week apart, what is this other than a competition? Moreover, they are movies of the same type, both horror movies, and they will compete for resources with each other.

"Paranormal Activity 3" was able to get a higher box office than everyone expected under the attack of "Get Out". So for the same market volume, if one is more and the other is less, does it mean that "

"Get Out" flopped at the box office?

That's what some people think.

However, the news coming from the cinema is that this is not the case.

The attendance rate of "Paranormal Activity 3" is good, and the attendance rate of "Get Out" is not low either.

When "Paranormal Activity 3" was released, "Get Out", which was also nearing the end of its release, actually experienced a rare rise in the box office against the trend!

When the news came out, some professionals said they couldn't understand it.

A week later, "Get Out" has also been released, and everyone is waiting for its announcement of box office results.

With the attention of Wen Zhiren and Warner, "Get Out" finally announced its box office results.

The total global box office of "Get Out" is US$328 million!

The global film industry is in an uproar!

This box office is terrible!

It's a horror movie, and the production cost of a horror movie is only five million US dollars. It's not an investment of tens of millions, but it can actually exceed the US$300 million mark!

Unimaginable!

Comparing the box office of the two movies, "Get Out" beat "Paranormal Activity 3" and won!

For a time, there was a lot of discussion in the film and entertainment circles. Some even suspected that the box office of "Get Out" was faked. Otherwise, how could a low-cost horror film have a global box office of more than 300 million.

And more people are analyzing various reasons and possibilities.

If the analysis is correct, perhaps Huang Yiyu's success can be replicated.

Wen Zhiren and Werner were also shocked when they saw the box office results of "Get Out". They thought that even if "Get Out" did not fail, the box office would be about the same as "Paranormal Activity 3".

Even if it is exceeded, it is not by much.

I never expected that it would exceed $50 million.

What a surprise!

"Some people say that the box office of "Get Out" was fraudulent. Do you think it is possible?" Werner asked Wen Zhiren.

Wen Zhiren shook his head.

"It's difficult and unnecessary. The cinema will not help Huang Yiyu cheat, and Huang Yiyu doesn't have the ability."

"Why is it so much more than our "Paranormal Activity 3"? To be honest, I am surprised that "Paranormal Activity 3" has a global box office of US$272 million.

.As a result, "Get Out" actually exceeded 300 million, which makes no sense."

Warner still doesn't quite believe this is the actual box office performance of "Get Out."

Wen Zhiren shook his head.

"We can't look at it this way. We are also filmmakers and we can't look at it like others. We should find out the secret of "Get Out"'s high box office. That will help us make future movies.

"

Werner sighed.

"Actually, I have also analyzed it. I think it is because "Get Out" touches on a zz correct issue. Blacks and whites, so this movie has been welcomed by many blacks and even people of other races."

Wen Zhiren nodded.

"Yes, many people think so too. Many black people who don't originally watch horror movies bought tickets to watch it because of this, and they support this film."

Warner made a helpless expression.

"But we won't take pictures of such hot spots, right?"

Wen Zhiren nodded.

"Of course, we only focus on fear and do not discuss other topics and hot spots. This is also the reason why we have always been successful. It is also the reason why Brother Long has always been successful."

"Then I have no choice, but I guess if Huang Yiyu still plays this card in his next film, the horror box office will not be as high as "Get Out", and it may even arouse some people's disgust. Or

, even black people themselves would feel disgusted." Warner guessed.

Wen Zhiren said:

"Actually, in addition to this issue that everyone knows, I also thought of other points."

"What is it?" Werner asked him.

"Problems with style and routines. "Paranormal Activity 3" continues the style of the first and second parts very well, but this also limits its development. The style and routines of "Escape",

It's just the opposite of the "Paranormal Activity" series. This makes "Get Out" more fresh for viewers who are accustomed to the style of "Paranormal Activity: Paranormal Activity."

Warner nodded in agreement with Wen Zhiren's analysis.

"I also see your analysis, so I think "Paranormal Activity 4" will probably not do very well at the box office. It is the worst box office in this series, and the highest box office is the same as the second one. But

The production cost was US$5 million, US$2 million more than the second film.”

"I've read it. No matter how bad Brother Long's script is, it can't be much worse. If it's really bad, it's actually because we didn't do a good job. We got used to making a series, and we lost innovation and passion."

…

The discussion outside is basically similar to the discussion between Wen Zhiren and Werner.

"Get Out" has a global box office of more than 300 million. Part of the credit is due to the hot topic of black and white people, and part of the credit comes from "Paranormal Activity 3".

Movie fans are accustomed to the style of the "Paranormal Activity" series and were attracted by the style of "Get Out".

Moreover, the next film of Wen Zhiren and Werner is "Paranormal Activity 4", which is still the "Paranormal Activity" series of movies. Such frequent filming of a series, and exceeding the trilogy law, is likely to make this

The fourth part of the series has spread all over the street.

Some people even called on Moon and Werner to suspend the filming of "Paranormal Activity 4", or not release it after filming is completed, and then release it after one or two years. Movie fans will not watch it until the audience recovers from aesthetic fatigue.

tired.

Huang Yiyu did not say that the screenwriter was Wu Long. He talked with Wu Long that if "Get Out" became a box office hit, it would only be a movie, and those who attacked would still make excuses. A movie cannot explain

What? Many horror films by Wen Zhiren and Werner have been successful, and many of them have been box office hits.

Therefore, I hope Wu Long can continue to hide it and reveal the truth after all three films are successful.

The anxious Huang Yiyu originally thought that Wu Long would not agree. He would really announce the truth in the future, but in this case, who would believe it?

In the end, Wu Long agreed. This surprised Huang Yiyu. At the same time, he admired Wu Long even more and vowed to make Wu Long's films well and tell people all over the world that Wu Long is still the leader in horror films.

King!

The production cost of "Paranormal Activity 4" is still US$5 million.

However, Huang Yiyu is currently filming "The Exorcist", and the production cost has been increased to US$12 million.

Huang Yiyu believed that the script given to him by Wu Long followed a different route, not the one of making big money with a small cost. Instead, it was a big production that was promoted all the way.

"Escape" is just a test of the waters to test Huang Yiyu's ability. If the ability is passed, the investment will be increased.

The production cost of the "Death is Coming" series is tens of millions. Unfortunately, the box office was not as big a hit as "Get Out", which made Huang Yiyu feel that he was ashamed of Wu Long.

He vowed to make "The Exorcist" well and not to repeat the mistakes of "The Exorcist" and to make "The Exorcist" surpass "Get Out" at the box office.

He didn't dare to swear by the return on investment. The production cost of "The Exorcist" was more than twice that of "Get Out". The higher the production cost, the less likely the return on investment would be as big as dozens.

Explosive results.

Wu Long, who was still filming "Fast and Furious 3" in Jianghu, saw Winslet trying to say something to him several times. Finally, Wu Long couldn't stand Winslet's sad look and asked her what she was thinking.

Want to talk to him.

"Because I participated in "True Lies", before the movie was released, a jewelry brand called "The Sun Never Sets" asked me to endorse it. I signed a three-year contract at the time, and later "True Lies" was nominated.

I wore their jewelry to attend the Golden Cove Awards and the Oscars.”

"A few days ago, they came to me and wanted to ask me to make an appointment with you and talk to you about filming an advertising film for their jewelry brand."

Wu Long smiled, thinking it was an emotional bullshit.

"So that's it. Let them talk. You don't have to guarantee whether it will work out or not."

"I know, I can't promise anything." Winslet kissed her. "Thank you, Long."

"What else do you and I have to say?"

…

The jewelry brand Winslet endorses is Glatt. This brand was born in the early 1990s. Compared with those old brands, it is considered an emerging jewelry brand.

After hearing that Winslet had agreed with Wu Long that they could negotiate with Wu Long, Glatt's senior management immediately held a special meeting to discuss cooperation negotiations with Wu Long.

What is there, what strategies are there, how many backup plans there are, how to persuade Wu Long, etc., all need to be discussed.

Glatt is a jewelry brand founded by Laurence Glatt and controlled by the family.

"The world's top ten luxury jewelry brands, without us, Glatt. The five major jewelry brands that never set on the country, without us, Glatt. All the jewelry brands on the list are without exception ancient jewelry family brands. At this point, we have no

A little advantage.”

"That's true. So our target customers have always been young people. People born in the late 1990s are the majority of our customers."

"So, if you want to become one of the top ten luxury jewelry brands in the world, cooperation with Wu Long is the only chance. Looking at the most competitive automobile manufacturing industry, our country's automobile companies relied on their cooperation with Wu Long in the advertising film "Fast and Furious".

In one fell swoop, it became the top ten automobile brands in the world."

"Wu Long is really terrible. Even the Harrier fighter jets that our country has retired and no longer need can be sold at such a high price. It's outrageous!"

"Mineta Motors has a foresight. Sanling and Nissan, which have followed later, are now also on the rise. Lei Tui, who originally had an advantage over them, has stopped fighting for its advantage. If this continues, the alliance between the three of them will no longer be Lei Tui.

Take the lead."

"However, it is difficult to cooperate with Wu Long. Mineta Group made a bad start by promising to give Wu Long shares. The Harrier fighter jet can be said to be a military product and cannot be given shares. But what about us? If we don't give shares, Wu Long will

Do you agree?"

"It's not just a matter of giving shares, but also how much."

"Actually, if Wu Long is found to cooperate after Wu Long makes the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series, or after "Frozen" is made, there is no need to give shares."

"You are wrong. It can only be after the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series. Don't forget that in "Frozen", Wu Long has more shares in Frozen. Even the land of China only belongs to Wu Long, not to Frozen.

Yuan Headquarters.”

"Then let's talk slowly. First understand Wu Long's needs, and then we can respond."

"Talk slowly? Don't you know? The one who first approached Wu Long to talk about filming a car advertising film was not Mineta Group, but Penta Motors! Penta Motors just wasn't sincere enough. Even some of its top executives were beaten by gangs from Benzi Country.

Broken leg."

"There is indeed a problem in talking slowly. Not to mention leaking the news, maybe Wu Long will let it out himself. In that case, other jewelry brands will pay a higher price before us, and we will be the second Bentian!"

"Jewelry brands are not lifestyle products like cars. Jewelry brands are luxury goods. There can only be one brand that cooperates with Wu Long, and there cannot be a second one."

"If Wu Long wants shares, how much can he give?"

"thousandth?"

"The Mineta Group starts with one percent, but if you give one percent, I'm afraid it will be included in Wu Long's blacklist."

"We could use Winslet."

"Use her? How? It's just an endorsement."

"Then one percent."

Some people shook their heads.

"I'm afraid one percent won't be able to satisfy Wu Long's appetite. This time when filming "Fast and Furious 3", Mazda Motor Company joined and paid a price of three percent of the shares."

"Then three percent."

"If "Fast and Furious 4" is to be filmed, new entrants will have to pay a price of 4% of the shares. Your 3%... I say you really have no courage."

"How many did you say?"

"The bottom line is five percent, otherwise it's best not to talk to Wu Long."

"Five percent shares? Impossible!"
