Chapter 705： Infinite horror

Even though the production budget of "Chain Saw" is only 4 million U.S. dollars, Embassy Pictures and Shahai Entertainment have prepared a large-scale premiere.

Compared with the production cost of only US$4 million, Embassy Pictures’ investment in publicity and distribution is much higher, reaching US$6 million.

Since 4,000 film copies were prepared, the cost of copy production, insurance, and operation cost more than US$4 million in publicizing investment.

The cost of film copying is a huge cost, especially for low-cost films.

A film with a production cost of several hundred thousand dollars, if you want to release it on a large scale, even if you don’t count the investment in publicity, the cost of film copy alone is several times the production cost.

In contrast, the cost of digital copy is much lower.

Even after the cinema system is further connected to the Internet, copies can be delivered directly through the network.

But looking at North America, there are very few digital cinemas now.

At present, the six major companies, DreamWorks and Relativity Entertainment are jointly promoting the reform of theaters and increasing the popularity of digital projection equipment.

Although there are many contradictions among the major companies, some even want to swallow each other, but they are sincerely cooperating in this matter.

Because this is the same for all companies.

There is no digital copy of "Chain Saw". 4000 film copies have already been delivered.

On the day of the premiere, because of the director James Wynn, almost all Chinese directors with a certain degree of popularity in Hollywood have come.

Li An put down the crew of "Brokeback Mountain" to be there in person.

James Wong and his good friend Glenn Morgan come together.

just signed a long-term contract with Shahai Entertainment and confirmed that Justin Lin, who will direct the "Fast and Furious" series, is also here.

In addition, Chinese stars like Hu Kaili, Wen Mingna and Liu Yuling also came to the premiere.

A Chinese circle in Hollywood is forming.

"When it comes to cooperation, the first choice is Shahai Entertainment."

In the premiere theater, Wen Ziren said to the people around him with a serious face: "Ronan and his company are willing to give us a fair chance to compete. As long as we can show value, he will not make it because of our identity. Unfair choice."

James-Huang agrees: "It is not easy for us. It is very rare for us to have Ronan in Hollywood."

Wen Mingna said softly: "If it weren't for the role of Mulan, I wouldn't have the opportunity to cooperate with Disney."

These people, it can be said that Hollywood is rare to have a certain fame of Chinese descent. Standing together at this moment, they all chatted about their own experiences. Everyone is a bitter history.

Ordinary people, it is very difficult to make a career in Hollywood, especially for Chinese Americans.

Lee Ang, who has been silent, said suddenly: "About Ronan and Relativity Entertainment, I only say one thing. Without Ronan, I might be completely unemployed in Hollywood after "The Hulk."

The one with the highest status and reputation among these people is Ang Lee.

Hearing this, the others were thoughtful.

Especially Justin Lin.

Changing to other companies, it is difficult to use a new Chinese director who is not a newcomer like him in such a medium-to-high investment film.

Opportunities are hard to come by, we must seize them.

The gathered crowd dispersed one after another, and Justin Lin saw Ronan's position and quickly searched for it.

"Mr. Anderson." Justin Lin looked very polite: "Thank you for giving me the opportunity to direct the "Fast and Furious" series."

Ronan smiled and waved: "You should thank the producer."

Justin Lin knew that Jessica Felton, the boss of the crew, was trusted by Ronan, and quickly said, "I thank Miss Felton specifically."

Ronan nodded: "Justin, Director Huang and Director Wen jointly recommended you. What do you think about the style of the movie?"

Justin Lin said as simply as possible: "This should not be a simple drag racing movie. If the main plot is limited to drag racing, maybe there is a certain market in North America, but the overseas audience will be reduced."

"It makes sense." Ronan gave encouragement at the right time.

Justin Lin continued: "I think drag racing, action, crime and gunfight should be combined. "Fast and Furious" is an action movie with strong car elements!"

Ronan recognized: "I hope you can bring a masterpiece."

"Fast and Furious" series, in the hands of Shahai Entertainment, will get closer and closer to mainstream Hollywood commercial films.

Justin Lin saw someone come to Ronan and left in due course.

Ronan and Ang Lee got together and talked about the post-production and publicity release of "Brokeback Mountain".

The filming of this film has ended. It may have received a warning from Shahai Entertainment through its agent, or it may have come to light. As the crew’s biggest uncertainty, Heath Ledger did not cause any trouble and went well. Finished all his scenes.

As for what will happen to Heath Ledger, Ronan can't control that much. Instead, he feels that Jack Gyllenhill is good. If he has the opportunity, he can continue to cooperate.

Ang Lee also introduced Ronan to a director named Ronnie Yu. He was the director of the "Freddy vs. Jason" released by Xin Xian last year.

The director from Hong Kong City has accepted James Shams’ invitation to direct the film adaptation of the novel "Lust Caution".

According to Ang Lee's statement, James Shams couldn't get investment in Hollywood, so he went to Hong Kong City and Treasure Island, looking for investment there.

His status as a Hollywood producer is very good, and it is said that he also attracted a Hong Kong city movie star-level actor to join the crew.

In this era, Hollywood movies can effectively improve the compelling character of Eastern Film Company or actors.

The most typical Miss Lizao, in the mouth of the Eastern media, is a proper international superstar.

But when Miss Lizao was also dizzy, she and another international superstar from the East took over the film based on the island country produced by Spielberg.

Hollywood filmmakers, even directors and producers who are well versed in market rules like Spielberg, obviously don't know much about the other side of the Pacific, and they made a three-unpleasant movie.

Maybe after ten years, Spielberg will not make such a dizzy decision.

Time will prove many things.

For example, a needle-handling master on the other side of the Pacific was vilified by countless people. But after more than ten years, people suddenly discovered that the master is worthy of being a master. His vision is really poisonous. The three people who have been pierced with needles are really not. Wronged.

Compared to those three, it seemed that he was still a good person immediately.

Those things on the beach, in the big Hollywood environment, are really nothing.

Think about the big cousin...

Entering the theater, Ronan and Wen Ziren sat together and chatted briefly. Wen Ziren is a very thoughtful director who wants to plan a new horror film project.

Wen Ziren and Shahai Entertainment are also long-term contracts. Ronan must of course support it, but no matter what horror film project is, Wen Ziren has to wait for Wen Ziren to finish shooting the "Chain Saw" trilogy.

had a successful trilogy as a foundation, and later changed to a more reliable horror film director, filming according to the inherent pattern, and making another four or five films without any problems.

Wen Ziren can also be liberated from the "Chain Saw" series and continue to develop the terrifying and similar project territory of Relativity Entertainment.

Ronan plans to wait for the release of "Iron Man", and talk with Wen Ziren about the vision of the movie universe.

This Chinese director, according to normal development, has a lot to do in the field of commercial films.

Its commercial value and the profit it can bring are even far more than that of Ang Lee, a former Chinese director.

The film began to be screened, because the first film's influence, especially the rental data that has consistently ranked among the top ten in North America this year, brought more audiences to the series.

The first screenplay is full.

The brutal "Jigsaw" is back with an updated and stranger killing game.

But compared to the first part, even if Wen Ziren personally directs the second part, the plot is still slightly weak.

The first chainsaw horror, the suspense beyond the horror has won praise and excellent reputation for the film, especially the moment Tobin Bell stood up, which caused countless people's exclamations.

Nowadays, the jigsaw is no longer a secret. The film can only focus on the actions of this perverted murderer, and the suspense content is greatly reduced.

But the audience has higher enthusiasm and expectations.

Even if the first surviving Amanda turns into a jigsaw disciple, it creates a certain degree of suspense, and the reputation of the film is still going to decline.

Compared with the first tense, complicated, and thrilling plot that gradually solves the mystery through flashback, the sequel is a lot more straightforward, because the mysterious veil is removed and the murderer is known, the impact is naturally halved.

What should I do if there is not enough suspense? Then use cruelty and blood plasma.

The biggest guarantee of 　　 sequel is absolutely double the **** and extremely tortured new means.

is the traditional Halloween soon, and the film must satisfy the audience’s bloodthirsty desire for Halloween.

Of course, "Chain Saw 2" is still powerful enough for horror film lovers.

The movie is like a role-playing game. It not only tells the development of the case from the perspective of the victim, but also allows the audience to experience the suffering with the victim through this perspective, and also desperately seek clues with the victim. Hope Escape to life.

Various unknown elements, terrifying and cruel torture, as well as water-like plasma, can arouse infinite terror.

During the screening, exclamations kept coming.

Perhaps in the eyes of an audience like Ronan with an oriental movie-watching mentality, the film is more **** and disgusting, but North American horror film licenses are often scared by such plots.

As for whether the jigsaw is a perverted murderer or a just punisher, it doesn't really matter.

The film will still bring controversy in this regard.

Probably groups of two views will continue to spam on the Internet or other places, and continue to create discussion topics.

This is the argument that the film needs.

If the two parties can fight, that would be great.
