"Master...shall we go home?"

Shi Tou looked at the young master who had been resting on the seat with his eyes closed since getting on the bus, and asked in a low voice.

"Let's go back. Drive slowly. I'll take a break."

Alan felt a little tired, mainly because of the noise.

He has some influence now, but this seems to be slightly different from what he imagined.

I also thought of the B version of the videotape that I had in my hands and had not yet been released.

This thing wasn't going to be shown in theaters, and the plan was to release version B in the U.S. after version A of the movie was released.

Allen even arranged the background.

Old Carl registered a small film and television company in the United States.

The name is look.

It means to look.

At that time, the cover of the packaging box of version B of the videotape will use a poster that is extremely similar to the poster of version A of the movie.

Even the name of the video is the same, with just a small "look" added before the video.

They took the route of copycat imitation, and then fought their way back to Britain from America.

Even if it becomes famous, he can still curse the shameless Americans for remaking his movie.

He wanted to make money and build a reputation, and he also had to find a scapegoat.

In the future, this company can even be used to attack competitors.

For example, if a company makes a movie about Superman or something.

Then he can completely direct the small crew to shoot an adult version of Superman with a similar plot, which can not only take advantage of their popularity and make money, but also discredit their IP in the end.

It's a way to disgust people and make money.

No matter what kind of video it is, there is a small look in front of it.

This thing is like a play on words.

If the other party's film is called "Superman", then the real name on his side is "Look at Superman". This will not constitute infringement, but as long as the word "look" is written small enough, ordinary people will mistakenly think that this is Superman!

The reason why version B has not been released and sold until now is because Allen did it on purpose.

It's impossible that version A has only been released for half a month while version B has already been filmed and produced, right?

The connection is so fast that it's obvious that there's something fishy going on. He wants people to feel that this thing is a copycat version made by Americans following the trend.

It has nothing to do with him, Alan!

…

Allen was a little annoyed after being scolded by Charles just now. He wanted to see what would happen when his version B videotape was sold on the market. Would those male viewers who gave him bad reviews and wrote to criticize him watch it or not?

After watching this, do they also want to go to Gambia to look for black pearls?

Anyway, just argue if you need to, no matter what.

On the contrary, Charles' words just now reminded Allen that he had to put his next movie on the agenda, so he should plan it early and start the early preparations.

If you are not allowed to film domestic scenes, then we won’t film them. We will call that old guy Parites tomorrow and ask him to give us some advice and advise us on the next steps.

…

"Master! You're back! I've accumulated a lot of information here, I want to report it to you."

Paris arrived at the manor after lunch the next day. After a period of adaptation, Paris ran back and forth.

He still occasionally attends a few classes at the film academy, but much less frequently than before.

The rest of the time he spent traveling between home and the manor, Patrice adapted very quickly to his new life at the Earl's Manor.

"Um...Is it about the box office news?"

It has been half a month now, and because of Patrice's previous description, Alan's expectations for the movie's box office are not as high as before. At least as long as he can make some money, it's fine.

"Master, I take back what I said before. Your movie is indeed a classic example of precise market positioning! It targets a specific audience group and covers it precisely. The box office in the past half month has exceeded my imagination. Look, this is the data from the first week, and the data from the first two days."

After glancing at the box office data, counting the digits behind it, and looking at the currency unit, Allen was a little surprised and said, "This data? Isn't it right?"

The data shows that the box office of "Fake" in its first week reached 1.7 million pounds.

Taking this data as a benchmark and looking at the box office trend in the next few days, although there was a decline, the decline was not large.

If nothing unexpected happens, that is to say, if calculated based on the four weeks of release, this film will most likely take in four to five million pounds at the box office!

Although the domestic film market in the United Kingdom is not very large, this box office result is already enough to secure a place in the top ten of the annual box office!

If calculated based on the final box office of 5 million pounds, after deducting the cinema's share and adding various taxes, the share he can get is about 32% to 40%.

That is to say, the profit is in the range of £1.5 million to £2 million.

It's more or less, the difference is only a few hundred thousand pounds at most.

Excluding the extremely low production costs that Allen achieved by using tips as a settlement method, the box office revenue alone would bring him nearly one million pounds.

Plus the income from the later distribution of the videotape.

If Allen was more diligent and worked hard for ten years or so, he could earn several million, and have a net worth of nearly ten million pounds.

If there were no other peripheral projects and I just focused on making and shooting movies, it would be quite rewarding.

…

"Master...I have been investigating the reasons for this movie's high box office recently."

Patrice is very dedicated. The box office revenue of this movie has exceeded his expectations, but he does not have any resentment or humiliation after being slapped in the face. Instead, he turned around and began to study why.

"Oh? Tell me about it."

"Tsk... I did a small-scale survey and found that most people who have watched this movie gave the most comments that it was novel and a bit curious. These are the two most important points. Non-traditional film themes like this are the prerequisite for attracting audiences."

oh……

Alan immediately thought of the traditional character of the British, which was reserved and reserved, or in other words, reserved inside.

They seem serious on the surface, but they are very curious about this rather bizarre subject matter.

He said "no" with his mouth... then took a breath and said "stop".

But, this is just the beginning, he was still restrained when shooting this film, and many shots were shot extremely conservatively.

If he dared to add some restricted shots, would the box office be able to reach a higher level?

What if we change to a more exciting subject?

Allen now has some experience and is much bolder. If he is not allowed to shoot domestic films, he might as well choose a more exciting subject from abroad.

He likes this kind of bizarre film with relatively low production costs the most.

The actual investment in this thing is small, so it is convenient for him to disguise the investment amount and launder money.

Although Allen has always dreamed of making some big-budget films, such as special effects films, science fiction films, etc.

But now it is still in the stage of accumulating funds and making money is the main focus. He is not that pretentious. He doesn't dislike anything. Besides, if he wants to shoot some modern dramas with exciting plots, he needs actresses.

Alan now regrets not bringing Li Zhi back. He realizes that he didn't have enough knowledge when he needed it!

He was so angry right now. It was the time when he needed to relax and vent. It was a bit uncomfortable without a woman around him.

What does this mean?

This means he still has to work hard!
