Chapter 978

Steven Pike is a veteran first-line actor. However, because of his drug addiction, he ended up working on a big production, which was directly cool.

No matter how great a star is, if he messes up other people's investment, he will lose his popularity.

Not to mention, Steven Pike, still messed up for his own reasons.

Steven Pike, at the beginning of the next two years, was able to take on a little work, but he was addicted to drugs and had several incidents in succession.

In the end, it led to the fact that in the past year, no one asked him to make a film at all.

Even if Vincent and Steven Parker had a very good relationship, he didn't dare to make a movie with Steven Parker who was addicted to drugs.

As a result, there was no work to do, and Steven Pike had gone through a period of betrayal, especially those friends who often called him brothers, and because of his loss of income, they began to gradually alienate him.

This made Steven Parker firm in his determination to quit drugs. After more than half a year of drug rehabilitation, he finally succeeded in quitting drugs.

And after several months, I started to exercise, and it is rare that I did not reabsorb.

Steven Pike wants to come back, but the actors are replaced very quickly these days, and his reputation has long since passed away.

Therefore, Steven Parker, who seems to be a bit famous, was once a member of the 2000 million club, but in fact, his salary can even win 100 million.

In other words, what he lacks now is an opportunity. For this kind of opportunity, small movies dare not seek him, and big movie companies are also worried that he will have problems again, so he is still in an extremely embarrassing situation.

Therefore, the advantage of asking Steven Parker to make a film is that it is of high quality and low price, and the price-performance ratio is extremely high!
The downside is that he has a lot of criminal records, you can't guarantee that he will not make any mistakes in the middle, and the risk is very high.

Although Vincent was a good friend of Steven, he would never have dared to intervene without Lin Xiao's consent. After all, he was the main character, not some unimportant little character.

Steven Pike is certainly cost-effective, but considering the risks, he is also very high.

"OK, no problem, but you must sign a guarantee clause to guarantee that Steven will not drink or take alcohol during filming and release. Once found out, he will face huge compensation!" Lin Xiao said plainly.

"Of course no problem!" Steven Pike cherished such an opportunity.

"Actually, for me, it's nothing more than spending more money, but for you, if you lose this battle again, you will lose your stardom for the rest of your life. We can afford to lose, but you can't afford to lose!" Lin Xiao said.

"I understand!" Steven Pike said.

In the end, Legendary Pictures and Universal reached a joint investment to produce the North American version of "Dark Wars", and Dick Group reached a joint investment to produce the North American version of "Infernal Affairs" "The Departed".

As for Steven Parker, he signed two contracts, one is the thief in "Dark War" and the other is the role of Zhang Zihua in the Huaguo version.

And the role of Chen Yongren in "Infernal Affairs".

Of course, the American version of "The Departed Walker" is definitely impossible to use the name of Huaguo again.

"Dark War" plans to invest 1 million U.S. dollars to produce this film, and currently the only tentative protagonist is Steven Parker.

The investment budget of "The Departed Walker" is a little higher, 1.2 million US dollars.The same tentative one is only Steven Parker.

At the same time, both "Dark War" and "The Departed" began to release news, director, starring and so on.

When "Dark War" and "The Departed" started looking for directors and leading actors, the low-budget horror film "Chain Saw" was officially announced!
Post-production and editing began.

Because of the success of the previous low-budget horror film "Reaper", several distribution companies are very interested in "Chain Saw".

Although horror films are niche, they work well and have no lower potential than those big productions.

Even horror films have a more concentrated audience because the audience itself is adults, mostly young people.

The stickiness of this group of people is very high, and they also have enough spending power, so once the quality of horror movies is good, coupled with good promotion and marketing, the box office may not be worse than other movies.

"Chain Saw" was eventually won by Universal Pictures, because Vincent personally came out on Universal's side and gave the most favorable distribution conditions, and Universal has no particularly blockbuster releases recently, only a few small ones. The cost of the film, so the publicity resources can be more tilted.

"The promotion of "Chain Saw" is roughly divided into online and offline. The first is online. We have already produced several special horror interactive video games, which can be used as online promotion .”

"Let's take a look."

The picture appeared on the big screen.

There was darkness, only the sound of heavy breathing, followed by a line of subtitles: Please don't stare at it wholeheartedly, otherwise, in ten seconds, you will...

One second, two seconds, three seconds...

At the tenth second, suddenly, there was a shrill scream!

A grimace suddenly appeared on the dark screen!
"Oh, God!" Even the publishers who had prepared earlier were frightened.

One of the female employees was so frightened that she sat down on the ground.

At this time, a picture appeared on the screen, a puppet wearing a white face ghost mask came out on a bicycle and said: "I told you earlier, don't stare, you just don't listen, and the disobedient guy will be punished." Yes, how do you choose to die?" After finishing speaking, the screen changed, and a bloody chainsaw roared, coming towards us...

The point is, this place, under Lin Xiao's suggestion, adopts the naked-eye 3D effect, which is not so obvious on the big screen, but if it is on the mobile phone or on the TV, it is very obvious, just like the real thing. It's like flying off the screen.

In particular, there is a special effect of screen cracking.

Let this bloody chainsaw look extra real.

There are several versions of horror propaganda videos like this one.

One of them came out with a puppet in a jigsaw mask facing the screen, turn me off!Turn it off now!

If you don't turn it off, then there will be various killing props coming.

Such as rotating flying knife, such as needle car and so on.

The effect of horror is definitely enough.

Of course, this kind of video is mainly for a short-term effect. After all, it is a kind of suddenness. If you watch it too much, you may not be fooled or feel scary.

The biggest advantage of this kind of scary video is that it can be spread by word of mouth. Don’t watch it if you are timid. If someone is scared, you will definitely recommend it to your friends to scare your friends.

It's better to be happy alone than to be happy together!
In fact, there are many similar videos on the Internet, such as a beautiful woman undressing, and then suddenly a horrible picture appears.
