Chapter 134: true reaction

This time Ryan did not participate in the stereotyped film premiere, but chose to take Charlize-Theron to a relatively remote cinema to watch a movie.

Along the way, promotional posters of "Chain Saw 3" can be seen everywhere, almost comparable to commercial blockbusters.

But no matter how ideal the first two word-of-mouth of "Chain Saw 3" is, it can't change the fact that it is just a horror movie.

Therefore, the importance of the three days of the first weekend and the day of Halloween can be said to be crucial, and can even determine the final box office of the entire film.

When the two walked into a movie theater in Chinatown, they could clearly see that the hall was pasted with movie posters, full of blood and terror.

"Even the promotional posters of "Chain Saw 3" are posted in movie theaters in Chinatown?" Charlize Theron looked a little surprised.

Generally speaking, except for some large-scale production commercial films, there are very few films like this.

Most of the time, the movie theaters in Chinatown are showing some Hong Kong movies, and Hollywood blockbusters will only be shown when there are important schedules.

"This is the influence of 20th Century Fox." Ryan sighed with a complex expression.

The more you know about Hollywood, the more you realize how terrifying the seven major film companies are, with their tentacles extending to almost every corner of North America.

Ryan didn't say much, went to the ticket office, bought two tickets for "Saw 3", walked into the No. 10 screening room, did not choose the middle seat, but sat in the corner of the last row.

The auditorium is not very big, not the kind of large auditorium that can accommodate hundreds of people, it is just a small auditorium that can accommodate dozens of people.

This is Chinatown, a place where Chinese people gather, and there are very few such large screening halls.

"I don't quite understand, why are you here?"

Charlize Theron looked at the screening hall in front of her, showing a look of doubt, and instead of attending the premiere, she ran to the movie theater in Chinatown.

"The reason is very simple. Only here can we observe the audience's most real reaction." Ryan didn't come to watch a movie. Many times, there is no need to read it from beginning to end.

"As for the premiere?"

Ryan made a very helpless gesture and said, "Twentieth Century Fox has found a lot of temporary viewers in order to increase the promotional effect of the film."

Speaking of it, Ryan was a little speechless. The temporary fans of the last premiere made 20th Century Fox feel incredible.

This time, I communicated with Helen directly, and found hundreds of temporary audiences, who were distributed among the audience seats of the premiere, to ensure that when the time comes, the performances will be so outstanding that even he will not be able to tell them apart.

"Temporary audience!" Charlize Theron looked puzzled, what about temporary audience? Why hasn't she heard of it.

Ryan coughed lightly, leaned close to Charlize-Theron's ear, and explained in a low voice, "They are all extras under Helen's company, and they occasionally make guest appearances in fan groups, premiere audiences and so on."

"When the premiere of "The Truman Show" is held, you will suddenly find that you have a large number of fans. Don't be surprised then."

Casual fans?

Casual audience?

Charlize-Theron's face is different, the jaw almost didn't drop, can you still play like this?

The three views were completely subverted.

"What if the media finds out?"

This was what she was most worried about, otherwise, when she thought about facing a group of enthusiastic fans at the premiere of "The Truman Show", she would inevitably be tempted.

To put it bluntly, it is a kind of vanity.

"Don't worry, Helen signed a non-disclosure agreement with them, and Paramount will notify the media in advance." Ryan was not worried about this.

Don’t you see, temporary viewers, temporary fans, etc. in previous lives are everywhere, and there is no media attention at all. It has almost become an unspoken rule in the industry, and no one will deliberately touch it.

Soon there were still a few minutes before the opening, Ryan finished the conversation, and began to focus on the auditorium. After careful observation, he found that there were quite a lot of people.

Although the promotion of the film did not specifically target ethnic minorities, there are almost no vacancies in the screening hall right now.

After a rough count, there are about 80 seats, and there are more than 60 spectators, most of whom are male young people, and the number of female spectators is pitifully small.

"Chain Saw 3" is the exact opposite of "The Evil Spirit", basically there is no female audience.

However, with the passage of time, the number of movie viewers of white people and males continued to decrease, while the number of moviegoers of ethnic minorities and women began to increase.

The former is easy to explain. As more and more black uncles enter the cinema, the number of ethnic minorities watching movies increases. The latter is due to the rise of feminism and more and more independent women, which drives the female audience. increase.

In the previous life, most Hollywood stars would choose to support women's rights, charity, and environmental protection, and erect a perfect personality.

As for blacks?

It is a kind of political correctness, which is purely used by Americans themselves.

The screening was about to start, the lights on the ceiling gradually went out, and the screen lit up.

At the beginning of the movie, the credits belonging to Ryan Studios appeared. In the sea water, a mermaid slowly swam, with a golden tail, exuding seductive beauty, and then the initials of Ryan Studios surfaced.

Produced by Blue Sky Studio, the technology is obviously becoming more mature, at least it didn't waste a lot of money to explore 3D animation production technology.

Next, is the opening title of 20th Century Fox.

"It's a beautiful title, isn't it?" Ryan suddenly asked to himself.

"It's not bad." Charlize-Theron gave him a strange look, asking an inexplicable question.

Apparently she didn't know the meaning of this opening title, which was full of Blue Sky Studio's ambitions for 3D animated feature films.

The plot of the film is very simple, almost unchanged from the previous life. Detective Eric-Matthew escaped from the bathroom after breaking his ankle with a water tank cover. He had a fierce quarrel with Amanda and was finally knocked down by Amanda.

Before Amanda leaves, Matthew leaves behind an angry expletive, calling Amanda a "drug dealer slut" and distressing her by saying she can't be a jigsaw killer.

In other flashbacks, Amanda has been working with John from the beginning, following his orders to kidnap Adam. But in fact, she suffocated Adam to death by euthanasia.

Meanwhile, the dying Jigsaw Killer orders two more victims to be kidnapped: Lynn Darren, a skilled but melancholy physician, and Jeff Reinhardt, a father bent on avenging his dead son.

Amanda put a collar around Lynn's neck, and there were five loaded bullet launchers on the collar, which were connected to the jigsaw killer's electrocardiogram by radio.

In the end, killing games appeared one after another, Jigsaw Killer died, Lynn died because of the detonation of the collar, and Jeff was the only one who cried out for help.

The plot of the whole film almost runs through the first two "Chain Saw", there is no innovation, but the **** picture and the cruel killing game are still shocking.

The original footage shot by Gregory-Hoblit has family relationship narratives, emotional dialogue descriptions, and more.

Ryan had to ask him to reshoot some scenes, cut out the boring content, and run through the **** violence and brutality to the end.

A pure horror film, full of blood and violence, can mobilize the audience's hormones on the big screen.

The more I dare not look at it, the more I want to look at it. UU reading www. uukanshu.com

This is the psychology of most horror movie audiences.

Of course, the film investment is not very big, only a little over 10 million US dollars, so it is impossible to have any big scenes, and the actors are all ordinary actors who are not well-known.

However, in terms of acting skills, it is not bad enough to star in a horror movie.

Monica Bellucci refused to continue to play Amanda Yang because of the schedule, so the crew had to re-select an actress Famke Jansen, a name that Ryan is very familiar with.

She also has a movie coming out this year, one of the 007 films in the "GoldenEye" series, playing one of the Bond girls.

It's a pity that she is not the heroine of the film, but only a supporting actress.

Among the roles she played in her previous life, the one that impressed Ryan the most was the telepathic Dr. Jean-Grey in the first "X-Men".

I have to say that the Phoenix Girl she played is really good, at least she has achieved a kind of goddess aura, which can make people's eyes shine.
