    "Released in May? This is not a good idea"

    The next day, Glenn found George and wanted to discuss the release date of the movie with him. Unfortunately, the two discussed it for a long time, but found that they could never reach a consensus.

    George's original intention was to strike while the iron was hot and release it in the United States as soon as the post-production of "The Undead" was completed. The early publicity was nothing more than some advertisements. For a low-cost horror film, it was basically useless.  There is no need to waste too much effort.  Most of the people who choose to go into the cinema are fans of George. I believe that after a few months, these fans have already learned the news that the preparations for the movie have been completed. People who want to see it will naturally go to see it, and those who don¡¯t want to see it will also  I won't be impressed by any exquisite promotional video, not to mention that the promotional video of this movie looks more like a hodgepodge of NG shots, with not even a third-tier Hollywood star in sight, so how can it be attractive?

    But Glenn feels that the movie market in May is really hot, and July is the most important summer season. Putting a low-cost horror film into the market during this period will greatly compress the box office space. If it is released  It is a good choice between the summer season and the Lunar New Year season. At that time, the competition pressure is relatively small, and maybe you can stay in a first-tier theater for two more weeks.

    "Then there's nothing I can do" George spread his hands, "If you plan to release this movie around October, it will only wear down everyone's patience. Besides, I have already started preparing for the next movie, let me tell you  I contacted Mr. Luc Besson, do you remember this?"

    "Of course I've contacted you!" Glenn nodded, "It's just a general inquiry, and the other party hasn't made a clear response yet. I'm wondering why you want to contact this person. That guy has been filming some literary films.  , if I remember correctly, you seem to be the least interested in literary films. French directors are all of the same virtue. If the films they make can be sold well in Hollywood, then they will be damned"

    "That's true" George also thinks the same about French directors.  These guys can even make a pornographic film with tear-jerking effects.  They don't know how to capture the psychology of the American audience at all, and they always like to make nonsense. Of course, it doesn't mean that the films they make are not good.  But the formalism is too high-end.  In this society, people with high education will always be in the minority. To put it bluntly, the more tacky the movies are.  On the contrary, it is more likely to succeed.

    George knew it very well. He tried to inject some obscure social concepts into "Skin Love". Unexpectedly, few people could understand it. Everyone just complained about his poor and unusual shooting techniques. It was completely  No one wants to delve into the complex meaning hidden inside.  This is a typical failure.  After all, in this world, the audience is the real god. No matter how good you feel about yourself, if no one cares about the movie you make, sooner or later you will fall into an embarrassing situation of complete failure.

    "If you ask me, the movies made by these guys are always well-received but not popular. You can take the leading role by yourself, why do you have to hire a French director" Glenn really didn't understand George.

    "I want to ask him to improve the scriptforget it. We will discuss this later. What does Fox say? Are they willing to release the film to the North American market in advance?" George is still concerned about the status of existing works.

    Glenn sat on the chair and thought for a while: "The other party didn't talk much about this matter, but in the previous conversation, they said that as long as it is not in the summer season, the film can be released at any time. The final decision is now  It's in our hands, but I don't think they attach much importance to this movie. After all, the market for horror movies is so big. The probability of making hundreds of millions at the box office is really not very high."

    "That's it" George spread his hands.  "Then it's decided, the faster the better. Don't waste time. When there is news from France, you have to inform me immediately. Now I have to find suitable actors. I plan to shoot this film in New York.  , you don¡¯t have any objections, do you?¡±

    "I still think it would be better to release it around October." Glenn complained, "But since you are so insistent, then I will listen to you. If the box office performance is not good, you must compensate me personally.  Mental damages."

    "Don't be kidding" George glanced at Glenn with disdain, "How is the filming progress of "Passengers"? That is the first film our company has invested in and filmed in the past two years besides my movie. Why do I look like this?"  Haven¡¯t heard anything about this movie?¡±

    "We encountered some difficulties in distribution" Glenn looked a little helpless, "Originally, we shouldn't have to worry about this kind of thing, but we agreed at the beginning that we would find a distribution company for this movie, but we contacted several  , those companies seem to have a somewhat dull attitude. Wait until your movie is released, I¡¯ll think of another way"

    George shook his head. It seemed that he and Glenn's company had really encountered a lot of troubles, but small companies were generally like this. If no distribution company was willing to help, they would have to sell it through video tape channels.  When he was still making underground films, he had watched many excellent works through video tapes. Although they were not released in major theaters in North America, in terms of quality and creativity, they seemed to be no less than some blockbusters.  It's just that the group it's targeting is too niche. If it is really released, the box office results may only be a few million dollars. Many top theaters are simply not willing to waste time on such unprofitable works, but some in remote areas  In theaters, there might be a chance for it to be released.

    "Where's that little girl Ashley?" Glenn patted his head and suddenly remembered what happened yesterday, "You sent her home? Why can't you see this little girl all of a sudden?"

    "Of course" George looked at Glenn strangely, "She has too many opportunities to appear, so she should suppress them"

    Glenn: "What the hell is this reasonDon't you even have an explanation? Also, I heard that you want to invest in a TV series? This is not a good idea. I think you should focus on the movie."  That¡¯s good, it¡¯s not as good as a movie, and it may not make as much money as a small-budget movie like this.¡±

    "I will seriously consider it!" George nodded. "Say hello to Fox and ask them to arrange the release of "The Dead" as soon as possible. I will go to New York in a few days to find a suitable place for filming.  The location, the company¡¯s affairs are all left to you.¡±

    "Don't worry." Glenn patted his chest, "Leave this place to me."
