On the last weekend of September, "Chain Saw 3" was released in North America. Because of the excellent commercial response of the first two films, Embassy Pictures held a premiere for the film.
The first two have won the support of a large number of horror film fans for this series.
Just as the "Reaper Is Coming" series has a considerable number of "Reaper" fans, the "Saw Fright" series also has a large number of "Jigsaw" fans.
The difference is that "jigsaw" fans are composed of two groups with diametrically opposed positions.
Some fans believe that the "jigsaw" is not a simple executioner, but a messenger of justice. All actions are not to kill people, but to punish outsiders or awaken lost people.
Another part of the fans firmly believes that "Jigsaw" is a perverted murderer!
The two sides are arguing on the Internet, no one can persuade anyone, and the quarrel has not actually outperformed the other.
There is only one real winner in this quarrel-"Chain Saw".
After the controversy caused the first two films to withdraw from theaters, they still attracted a large number of people to watch.
Because the production cost of "Chain Saw 3" is only 4 million US dollars, it is impossible for Embassy Pictures to invest too much money in the premiere, so the scale of the premiere is not large.
But many fans came to the Nokia Theater where the premiere was held.
This series has won the support of a considerable fixed audience.
Moreover, Embassy Pictures also made a lot of articles on publicity.
For example, this is the final chapter of the trilogy, "Jigsaw" will usher in the trial of fate in the third part!
There is no doubt that "Jigsaw" is one of the most attractive villains in Hollywood movies in recent years, and its ending is also a great weapon to attract supporters.
Of course, as long as the series can be profitable, after the trilogy ends, there will naturally be a new trilogy, and then another trilogy is not a problem.
The red carpet ceremony at the premiere was not long, and only the chief creators of the crew and senior executives of Relativity Entertainment participated. Ronan also came to the scene to show his importance to Wen Ziren and this series.
Participating in the premiere itself represents an attitude that Ronan has shown to the outside world.
At the premiere, the person who received the most attention was Wen Ziren, followed by "Jigsaw" Tobin Bell.
The latter has become the spokesperson of the "Jigsaw" in the real world. When the pale Tobin Bell walked on the red carpet, his slightly gloomy face made the fans on both sides of the red carpet quiet for a moment.
They all seem to be frightened by the "jigsaw".
As an unfamous actor, Tobin Bell will never want to get rid of the "jigsaw" name in his life.
For an actor of his level, it might not be a bad thing.
At the very least, there is capital to ask the producers for higher remuneration.
In the third installment, Tobin Bell's salary rose to $300,000 plus a 1% share of North American box office profits.
With the shooting of the sequel, it is inevitable that the compensation of the main creators will increase.
For example, as a director and screenwriter Wen Ziren, "Chain Saw 3" does not have a basic salary, but a 7% North American box office share.
Directors like Wen Ziren who have attracted the attention of the entire Hollywood, it is impossible to reduce the film contract to the degree of squeeze because of the long-term relationship.
Ronan met Wen Ziren in the theater hall.
"James, doing a good job." Ronan won't be stingy with praise: "This film will definitely scare many people."
Wen Ziren smiled and said, "I have tried my best."
Ronan understands the meaning of these words: "You only need to be a producer in the follow-up. The first trilogy has created a very successful model for the series."
Wen Ziren said: "Darren may not be an excellent pioneer, but he is a very qualified performer."
Ronan nodded slightly: "I talked to Director Bosman, and he is talented enough for the next "Saw Cry".
Wen Ziren said again: "I can come out of this series, Ronan, I have some ideas..."
Ronan said: "I also have some ideas about horror movies. When the premiere is over, we will find a time to chat together."
"Okay." Wen Ziren agreed.
Ronan then met Darren Bousman, the young director with a very personal Mohigan hairstyle, and the suit seemed to be the same style as the puppet Billy.
Starting from "Chain Saw 4", if there are not too many accidents, Darren Bousman will at least direct three sequels.
The director's execution ability is relatively outstanding, and he has served as Wen Ziren's deputy in the crew continuously, and is the most suitable director candidate to continue the successful model of "Chain Saw".
Just like the sequel to "Reaper Is Coming", Ronan doesn't need the disruptive and groundbreaking creation of the "Chain Saw" sequel, and ensuring commercial success is the most important.
Two years ago, shortly after the release of "Chain Saw", it attracted considerable attention all over the world. Many people who have watched the film threatened to be frightened by the "jigsaw".
Last year, "Chainsaw 2" continued the legend of "Jigsaw Massacre" and achieved good results. Together with the first film, it won the honor of "the most successful horror film series" in recent years.
A year later, "Chainsaw 3" made a comeback, opening a new chapter about "Jigsaw Massacre".
In order to have a good ending chapter for the trilogy he directed by himself, Wen Ziren claimed more than once that he had used the "killer trick" to ensure that the film was more intense and exciting than the previous two, while also leading the audience to view it up close. A look at the dark inner world of the "jigsaw".
The third part firmly caught the audience's attention from the beginning: the life of the jigsaw is coming to an end bit by bit, so he designed a perfect game "curtain call" for his death.
In the preliminary publicity of the Embassy Pictures, a persuasive advertisement was made with great effort!
"Don't buy tickets for the fainthearted, we can guarantee that not everyone has the courage to see the end!"
This will not only not have a warning effect, but will allow more curious audiences to enter the theater.
Another kind of propaganda is to push the "jigsaw" on the so-called altar.
There is a lot of hype about the jigsaw.
"To some extent, he is a philosopher, and a bit like a scientist and an artist, but most of the time, he sees himself as a doctor who'cures diseases and saves people' because he always treats the victims of his choice. The author said:'You will thank me for this all my life'."
This also meets the expectations of a considerable number of "jigsaw" fans.
Because in their eyes, the jigsaw has never been a murderer, but a social doctor.
If you put it in reality, it is estimated that no patient will thank such an outstanding doctor.
Who suffers from sawing legs, breaking fingers, cracking jaws, breaking abdomen, etc.?
Even if God wants to test people in this way, believers will be pulled off the altar.
In "Chain Saw 3", Wen Ziren intends to package "Jigsaw" into a god-like character.
Probably after this movie, more people will think that the old jigsaw man is not a murderer. He kills not for the ultimate death but for a kind of redemption, in order to let those who are alive but dead re-cherish life and gain a new life.
Perhaps, there will be a group of enthusiastic fans singing praises such as "Salute to the Jigsaw".
Regardless of whether the plot of the film is distorted or not, one thing can be confirmed. This one surpasses the first two in **** and visually stimulating scenes. Many scenes like craniotomy are so **** and cruel that people can’t look directly at it, which fits the North American horror Film lovers' demand for "horror".
But for viewers like Ronan who appreciate Eastern style horror more, "Saw Cry 3" is not so horrible, it is **** and cruel, and even a bit nauseous.
It can only be said that the aesthetics of traditional North American horror film audiences is really extraordinary.
At the premiere scene, many viewers were shocked, and others were applauding the jigsaw.
These days, there are all kinds of weird worldviews and values.
Think about it carefully, in fact, there are characters like "Jigsaw" in reality, but they are all cult leaders.
Someone once said that if the old jigsaw doesn’t die, it’s okay to establish a cult, it’s okay to have a Nobel Prize, and it’s okay to surpass Sherlock Holmes...
Perhaps after Relativity Entertainment had positive energy training chicken soup movies, there were cult training movies.
Ronan knows very well that with "Saw Cry 3" as the end of the first trilogy, and with the change of director to Darren Bousman from the fourth, the "Chasaw Cry" series is moving towards b The direction of the film ran all the way, and never looked back.
For the subsequent sequels, the production cost will be controlled within 5 million US dollars. To attract viewers, a new fancy killing show must be added.
In addition, the disciples of jigsaws and jigsaws should be given more nonsense reasons to be God.
The effect of this film is very powerful. Ronan returned to the manor after watching the premiere, and saw the supper prepared by Nikia, and had no appetite at all.
"This is the milk that was airlifted from New Zealand this eveningNikia came to Ronan with a cup: "It is said to be good for sleep. "
When Ronan saw the white liquid in the glass, he instantly thought of the jigsaw white brain, resisting the nausea, waved his hand: "I can't drink it, it's all for you."
Nikia had to take it away.
Ronan added, "If there are others, you assign them to the staff in the manor. I don't want to see milk in the next few days."
Although Nikia was a bit strange, as a housekeeper, she would never ask if she shouldn't.
"Well, Wen Ziren." Ronan murmured, "You are disgusting to me."
Now that I think about it, I really admire those who can get rid of their mouths in the face of a brain flower.
"It seems that I am not a qualified foodie." Ronan said to himself.
Nikia was very careful. After putting down the milk, she gave Ronan another glass of water. Ronan drank two sips of water and felt better.
When the weekend is over, next week is the time to have a good talk with Wen Ziren, Wen Ziren should not embark on this path of frightening people by relying solely on blood.
There are a lot of materials. After confirming the cooperation with Wen Ziren for the first time, Ronan asked people to make special preparations.
