Chapter 199

In Koch Pictures' reception room, Ronan carefully looked at the director who came with the project after Tony Koch introduced it.

This man looks about thirty-five years old, with a fat face and a fierce look. He is not very tall, but he is particularly sturdy, like a professional boxer.

Ronan was wondering in his heart, how lucky is Tony Koch to meet such a lively director?

Tony Koch said at this time: "Uvi is not only a director, but also an actor and screenwriter."

Uvey Ball interjected: "I heard that Mr. Anderson had a game adaptation project some time ago? I also had a game adaptation film project, so I contacted Mr. Koch and wanted to cooperate with Mr. Anderson."

Ronan looked at Tony Koch, who nodded slightly and said, "Wuwei has worked as a screenwriter for several movie projects before. This time he has obtained the copyright of an adaptation of a popular game and is ready to direct it himself."

Hearing this, Ronan immediately understood that he might not explain it clearly before winning the project "Resident Evil", which caused Tony Koch to have a little misunderstanding, thinking that the game adaptation of the movie is very confusing.

So, when I heard that he was coming to Europe, Tony Koch immediately contacted him.

The overall situation of the game-adapted movie is not good, and it is not unprofitable.

Uvi Ball is not a newcomer to the film industry. He knows the importance of investing in filming and says: "My film project is adapted from a first-person shooting series game "House of Death" developed by Sega. It tells the story of the protagonist fighting robots to save his companions and zombies. It has now formed a series with a total of 3 works."

Ronan has a very limited understanding of the game and has never heard of the game "House of Death".

But as a person who knows a little bit about the famous "Wubao", Ronan knows the movie "House of Death".

In my previous life, Xiao Wu became famous through this movie.

Ronan is also quite puzzled. As the only winner of the honor of "the worst director in the world", why can Wu Bao get investment again and again?

This should be related to Germany's tax refund policy.

Wu Bao's early movies have horrible results not as bad as the movie itself.

Similar B-level bad movies are very selling points in the offline rental and sale market?

This kind of thing is hard to say. Many bad mill movies, such as Robert Rodriguez's B-level movies, are quite popular in the offline market.

"Scimitar Killing" has been filmed several films, which have reached a certain level in the previous life.

Ronan carefully recalled the film "House of Death", and he could only be sure that he had watched it, but he couldn't remember more.

It's probably the kind of movie that you'll forget it soon after watching it.

Given that this is a film that Wu Bao became famous for a bad reputation, Wu Bao can shoot many films later, Ronan still takes it seriously from the perspective of the producer.

"Mr. Ball..."

"Uvi!" Wuwei Ball's face was full of flesh and blood and a fierce smile appeared: "Just call me Wuwei."

Ronan did not get entangled in this kind of issue and continued to ask: "Wuwei, do you have a script or plan?"

Uvee Ball was obviously ready to hand over the two bound papers to Ronan and said: "This game-adapted movie will be a typical horror thriller type. Mr. Anderson's Sand Sea Entertainment is famous for filming and producing horror thrillers. We naturally have a foundation for cooperation."

Ronan did not speak up, and opened the script and read it carefully.

The script tells the story of several female college students from fellow countrymen, Shensi, Grace and Kama, who decided to go out for a spring outing and have a happy party in the wild. They heard from Grace's good friend Simon that there is a remote island near Seattle where accidents often occur. They immediately wanted to find out and enjoy the excitement of adventure.

After arriving at the island, they were surprised to find that it was deserted and attacked by a group of mysterious monsters. The monsters were everywhere on land, in the ocean, and even in the air. They fled to an ancient house to shelter, where the frightened students unexpectedly revealed the legend of the haunted house of death.

The monsters among them can be roughly classified as zombies.

It is not difficult for Ronan to conclude that this is a typical American movie where a young man with a second-year middle school or a zombie attack.

As for game adaptation, Ronan couldn't see it because he didn't understand the game, but from the script analysis, there shouldn't be many game elements retained.

Then, Ronan opened the plan and asked tentatively while watching: "How many game elements do you retain in this movie?"

Uvi Ball didn't quite understand Ronan's meaning for a moment and did not answer immediately.

Tony Koch smiled and said, "Like Resident Evil, Uvi just borrowed the background of the game, and the story and characters are brand new."

Uvi Ball was not as extensive as it seemed on the surface. He instantly understood and said, "Movies are different from games, so the adaptation is very large."

Ronan looked up at him and asked, "Are you worried that the game fans will be dissatisfied?"

Uvi Ball said something that surprised Ronan: "Real gamers are all guys who only look for pirated versions online and offline. They never pay for movies, so why should I please them? What I want is a real movie audience."

This sounds very reasonable.

But Ronan always felt that it was not right.

Gradually, he remembered more information about Uvi Ball, "Bloodstorm", "Dungeon Siege", "Far Cry"...

Forced women, sauna oil push, sm upside down bleed, human and ghost cars shock.

In addition to being the king of bad movies, Uvi Ball is also the public enemy of game enthusiasts all over the world and the "terminator of game movies".

Ronan asked again: "What route are you going to take for this adaptation?"

"The biggest selling point is violence and blood." Uvy Ball is very direct: "The main line of the film is the story of the protagonist fighting against the devil and zombies to save his companions. I want to gain attention with a large number of zombies and a strong B-level film style."

Ronan was still looking through Uvi Ball's plan. It was not difficult to judge from the words just now. Uvi Ball was very clear-headed and knew what to rely on to attract the audience.

"How much budget do you need for this movie?" Ronan asked the most critical question.

Uvi Ball could hear that Ronan was a little interested in the project and immediately said: "As long as $12 million is enough."

Hearing this number, Ronan immediately put down his plan and looked at Uvi Ball: "$12 million?"

Tony Koch wanted to interrupt, in his eyes, "Resident Evil" could invest $20 million. For such a movie adapted from a game, $12 million is not a big investment.

Ronan gave Tony Koch a look. After all, Tony Koch had cooperated with Ronan and immediately swallowed the words to his mouth.

"Photoing such a film of $12 million?" Ronan said bluntly: "Immunity, this project is not worth such a huge investment."

Seeing that Ronan was not good, Uvi Ball hesitated for a moment and said, "If you have a little less, you can complete it. $10 million..."

Ronan directly interrupted him: "This movie will invest at most $1 million."

"What?" The flesh on Uvy Ball's face was trembling.

Ronan seemed to have not seen it and said, "To be honest, based on my production experience, your project will probably turn into a bad movie."

Uvi Ball's forehead was full of blue veins and he wanted to argue.

Ronan did not give him a chance and said, "You have never directed a movie or TV series before. Most directors' first films are not very good. This is not for you personally, but for the general situation."

"But $1 million is too little," Uvey Ball said: "If there is insufficient funds, it will only turn the project into a bad movie."

Only then did Ronan express his real purpose: "Since that's the case, why don't we shoot a bad movie?"

Tony Koch was stunned and specialized in shooting a bad movie. Isn’t this kind of operation asking for money to lose money?

Uvi Ball's eyes changed when he looked at Ronan, as if he was looking at a lunatic.

This Hollywood producer has a mental problem at a young age? It's so pitiful.

"A bad movie may not be a money-losing movie." Ronan has no psychological burden when facing this director who is destined to become famous: "Sometimes, if the movie is bad to a certain level, there will be chasers."

He gave a brief example: "In North America, there are very bad B-level movies in mills, which also use violence and blood as selling points. These movies are often very bad, but the audience has always been there, and it is still a major category in the offline rental and sales market."

Uvi Ball fell into thinking.

Ronan said calmly: "Bad movies may not be able to make money, and bad movies may not be able to become famous." He asked back: "In this world, are there fewer movies that make a lot of money in bad movies? Especially horrors."

Tony Koch instantly thought of "The Witch Blair", a movie that is worse than shit and urine, is said to have earned Ronan hundreds of millions of dollars.

"Many films have very bad reviews, but they attract audiences more than those moderate films." Ronan said a very simple fact: "If many people are scolding a movie, some viewers will instead look at how bad the movie is. If a movie is either extremely bad or extremely good, don't get stuck in the middle."

Tony Koch agrees: "This makes sense."

Ronan looked at Uvi Ball: "From the script and plan, the chances of becoming a bad movie are much higher than that of a good movie. If you want to invest a big shot, I won't accompany you. If you want to invest a big shot, I can consider cooperating."

The flesh on Uvi Ball's face began to tremble: "The investment is too little, and even the special effects of zombies and plasma are not good."

"It's very simple, how to save money, it doesn't matter if it's rough." Ronan said naturally: "It was meant to shoot bad movies."

Uvi Ball thought silently for a minute and said, "I...I want to think about it carefully."
