After signing the contract, Xuan's first movie was set in stone.
The lowest cut was 5% and the profit was 250,000 USD.
70% of the profits, 140 million USD!
Xuan had reason to believe that he could obtain the latter.
In addition to the box office share of the theater chain, the contract also stated the percentage of revenue from the movies and streaming media.
This was a reserved project of the film distribution company, and it was also the reason why they often accepted some unpopular films.
If the box office was not good, there would always be people who were willing to buy the movie on a CD or stream it online.
It didn't seem like much money, but over the years, it was a shocking amount of income.
According to the industry's rules, Xuan would get 25% of the profits from the streaming media.
Normally, the film company would only take 20%, but Legendary Pictures was bleeding a lot.
The contract also had a special note. If the second and third parts of Paranormal Activity were to be filmed, Legendary Pictures would be given priority for distribution.
With Xuan's approval, Legendary Pictures could make their own sequels.
Of course, this would have to wait.
After all, he couldn't lie in bed and dream. The early publicity work had to begin.
Otherwise, it would be very awkward if they couldn't reach the box office record of his previous life.
……
Perhaps they had received some news, but that afternoon, Paramount, Orlando, and Universal's distribution managers contacted Xuan.
They actually wanted to buy out Smart: Paranormal Activity?
It was probably because Legendary Pictures had leaked the news…
Since the other party rejected Xuan for the first time, Xuan couldn't cooperate with them.
Moreover, he had already negotiated with Legendary Pictures and had already begun the preparations for the release!
Sure enough, he soon received a call from the Legendary's distribution manager, Dan En.
"Mr. Chu, the president has already arranged the theaters. The initial screening date is the first Friday of August.”
"We only have half a month for the publicity work. We should be able to make it, right?”
"Yes, no problem. Let's start now.”
"Alright! I'll prepare the Social networks channels first. I'll ask you if I have any questions.”
Since the date had been confirmed, the promotional work of Legendary Pictures also began quickly.
They directly created two accounts on popular social media platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter.
The male lead was Micah Lee, and the female lead was Katie Feldstone.
The avatars and photos were provided by Xuan and Aomei.
There were photo albums, space updates, tweets, and tiktok Short videos recordings!
It was as if these two people really existed in this world.
In the beginning, their space dynamic was filled with sweet daily life of couples, intimate photos, and so on.
So for publicity, Xuan and Aomei had to take some photos and videos.
"What? How? Am I hugging you like this?"
Elizabeth Olsen was asked out by Xuan after work at the coffee shop.
She was overjoyed. She had thought that he really wanted to go on a date with her.
When she came out, she found out that it was to cooperate with the publicity work of the movie.
Sister Ao was a little disappointed, but she quickly adjusted her state of mind.
After all, Xuan promised to give her 5% of the box office. If the movie became popular, she would be able to get more money.
More importantly, these promotions required her to pretend to be a couple with Xuan.
He was happy to do this without paying.
She hugged Xuan's waist like a real girlfriend and took a sweet selfie with him.
Xuan looked at the photo on his phone and nodded in satisfaction.
"Olsen, you are indeed a very talented actor. Those who didn't know better would think that we were really in love.”
Sister Ao suddenly felt a little disappointed.
" It's been so long, and you're still calling me Olsen…"
"I'm sorry, I'm not used to calling you Liz. It feels like someone else.”
Xuan smiled apologetically. Sister Ao!"
"Ouch…Mei?"
"That's right. If you become famous all over the world, the fans of the Dragon Country will call you that.”
"Really? Can I really become such a celebrity?”Sister Ao still couldn't believe it.
"Of course. I told you the first time we met that you would definitely become a world-class star.”
In Ao Mei's eyes, Xuan was really shining!
……

Just as the netizens were confused, Maica's account was finally updated.
"I'm Maica's mother. My son was killed at home last night! The murderer, Katie, is missing. I hope everyone can help provide clues! Thank you!"
There was also a photo of the police announcement attached to this post.
The police officers surrounded the house and cordoned it off.
There were even reports from the local media.
" Yesterday, a murder occurred at 1172 Bernardo Street in San Diago. The initial suspicion is that the murderer is the deceased Maica's fiancée, Katie.”
"Katie is currently missing and is wanted by the police.”
"There was only a sharp knife at the crime scene. According to the blood stains, it was the murder weapon.”
