Chapter 348 Horror.human nature.Big speculative.

After the screening of "Chain Saw" finished, a release meeting about the film was held between the company's senior management and Kirin Distribution Company.Kirin Distribution Company has also watched the film, and is very optimistic about Liu Han's directing ability, especially after knowing that Liu Han came to Kylin Films for an interview but was declined, Kylin Distribution is also very troubled.Although as a distribution company, they can extract 10% of the profits from the box office.But if this movie is produced by their own production company, at least [-]% of the movie's box office is their own, and now they can only take [-]%, so it is their own loss anyway.However, I can't blame others for my company's bad eyesight, so Kirin Publishing Company had no choice but to hold its nose and participate in the distribution business.What's more, this movie is really good. If it really wins an award or something in the future, its own distribution company will have a glorious record on its resume.

"We are also very optimistic about this movie, but the Christmas schedule is coming soon. If you participate in the scheduling at this time, it will be very unfavorable for this kind of movie." The representative of Kirin Distribution Company expressed his opinion.Due to movie fans' views on horror films and comedies, unless they are horror films or comedies starring a big cast, these types of films are generally delayed in the off-season.Therefore, some movie fans complained that a bunch of shoddy horror movies and comedies are there to deceive the audience when the movie is off-season.But also because of this, all distribution companies default to concentrate the low- and medium-cost horror films and thrillers in the off-season for screening.In this way, not only can a longer release cycle be obtained, but it also has the opportunity to be a general among short people.

Both Li Wei and Liu Han knew that Kylin Distribution Company's suggestion was a genuine suggestion of conscience, but if such a good film was to be released on a garbage schedule, everyone would be a little bit reluctant.Finally, Li Wei thought about it, "Although the Christmas and New Year's Day schedules are full of blockbuster movies, there were not many blockbuster movies in the previous Thanksgiving schedule." But in China, because there is no habit of celebrating Thanksgiving, this schedule basically does not exist.However, the distribution company will still regard this period as a schedule, and gather some pretty good films into this schedule, which can be regarded as a warm-up for the Christmas and New Year's schedule. "Our idea is whether we can put "Chain Saw" in this schedule?" After all, as a fairly bloody thriller, if it is really put on the Christmas and New Year's schedule or the New Year's schedule, it will really irritate the audience. up.

"Thanksgiving schedule?" The people from Kirin Distribution Company thought about it, "It's a good choice. We arranged to show it in mainstream theaters for two weeks, and then transferred to second-round theaters and art theaters. Of course, if the box office performs well, it is not impossible to extend the Christmas and New Year’s Day schedule.” In fact, mainstream theaters will also reserve some screening halls during Christmas and New Year’s Day for niche films such as horror films, after all, there are still a group of singles on that day. Dogs also come out to play.In order to protect single dogs, it is natural to let them watch horror movies.Because couples naturally go for romance movies, comedy movies, or at least big-budget movies. This kind of small and medium-budget horror movies are probably only chosen by single dogs for self-protection.Therefore, if the movie is ideal, the attendance rate of a single hall is actually worth looking forward to.Generally speaking, unless it is a movie of the "Avatar" level, a movie with a single-house attendance rate of 60% is considered a success, and when it reaches 70%, it is considered a hit at the box office.If it really reaches 80%, 90%, it will be a milestone epic blockbuster.Horror films are really likely to create a single hall attendance rate in this popular schedule, so Kirin Distribution Company will make such a promise.

Kylin Publishing Company's distribution proposal has exceeded the expectations of Li Wei and Liu Han, so the two parties quickly reached an agreement on the distribution.After Kylin Distribution Company confirmed the release date, Li Wei Studio and Kylin Films also started to promote the film.To a certain extent, this will be the last film produced by Li Wei Studio as a production company, and the next film will be signed by DreamWorks Film Production Company.It is not the first time that the two parties have cooperated, and the first batch of promotional materials will be produced soon.After Li Wei's confirmation, this batch of materials began to be put on the market.Since "Chain Saw" is a thriller, the posters are either very bloody or very suspenseful.Anyway, this movie has been confirmed as "18 ban", so Li Wei and others don't have to think about how to attract young fans.

After more than a month of publicity, "Chain Saw" has finally been released in theaters such as Caesars.According to the custom, although Kylin Distribution Company did not organize a special session for film critics, it also sent movie tickets to the main film critics and reporters of the film and drama edition.Guo Xiaosong is a relatively well-known online film critic and freelance writer in China. Compared with other film critics employed by newspapers and magazines, Guo Xiaosong does not have too many interests involved, so Guo Xiaosong's film reviews are relatively objective, which makes him He has gathered a lot of popularity on the Internet.Because most of Guo Xiaosong's followers are ordinary audiences, Guo Xiaosong originally planned to discard this movie ticket.But thinking that I haven't written a movie review for a while, and I really don't have many attractive works recently, so Guo Xiaosong thought about it and put the movie ticket in his wallet, and then arranged for himself on the day the movie was released. A viewing itinerary.Guo Xiaosong looked at the promotional videos on the Internet, and thought that he hoped that the final film and the promotional video would not be too far apart.You must know that many small and medium-cost films would rather burn half of the production cost on the promotional film than polish the script.As a result, after everyone was tricked into going in by the promotional video, only anger remained when they came out.

Guo Xiaosong followed the instructions of the movie ticket and entered a small screening hall of Caesars Golden Cinemas. Maybe Guo Xiaosong got the worst movie ticket, right?However, Guo Xiaosong didn't say anything. After all, it would be good if such a low-budget movie could be squeezed into this kind of mainstream theater, and it should be allocated to such a small screening hall.However, small screening halls have the advantages of small screening halls. The attendance rate is easy to increase, and the cost of theater companies can be kept down.Fortunately, the seat of my movie ticket was not bad, and Guo Xiaosong sat in his seat without hesitation.After waiting for about 5 minutes, the lights in the auditorium gradually dimmed, and then the screen came on.

"Chain Saw" is a standard commercial film. After discussion between Liu Han and Li Wei, the final edited version was set at 90 minutes.This isn't a particularly long version, so the plot is pretty tight.Although Liu Han is a rookie director, he is indeed the director Li Wei valued. A thriller film like this can be regarded as the work of a very mature director.Guo Xiaosong admitted that he was quite frightened when watching the movie, and the whole plot was very attractive to him, sweeping away the procrastination and mindlessness of general thriller or horror movies.The important thing is that this kind of commercial film is not the kind of popcorn movie that you forget after watching it, but it still makes me think about it until now.Thinking of this, Guo Xiaosong opened the document and prepared to write a film review on "Saw".

In fact, not only Guo Xiaosong, but all the film critics and film and TV reporters who received the public relations tickets were completely convinced by this movie.You must know that these people can be regarded as senior movie fans who have watched countless movies, and ordinary thrillers or horror movies can't scare them at all, but this "Chain Saw" made these film critics and reporters feel horrified.Originally everyone thought that "Chain Saw" took the bloody route like the poster, but in fact this movie is not to mention compared with plasma films, even compared with general horror movies and thrillers, "Chain Saw" The amount of bleeding is very small.But this movie gives people psychological hints everywhere through music and pictures, so the whole person is in a state of shock.The most important thing is that apart from scaring people, this movie also touched the pain points of film critics with its thinking and introspection of human nature.We must know that film critics are most concerned about topics such as social criticism and human nature speculation, and a thriller can not only ensure the integrity of the movie genre and movie story, but also achieve speculation on human nature. It seems that the director His ambition is not small.

"Chain Saw" has only been released for one day, and many freelance writers have already published their film reviews on the Internet.To the delight of Kirin Publishing Company and Li Wei Studio, most of the film reviews were positive.The positive comments on the Internet made young audiences curious about this movie, and the main audience of thrillers is young people, so the praise on the Internet made these young people come in to watch it.And "Chain Saw" is indeed a really good psychological thriller, but a thriller that is too good is also troublesome, for example, it is a burden for some people with a bad heart.

"Someone actually had a heart attack because of watching our movie?" Li Wei looked at the relevant briefings collected by the intelligence department with some surprise, "And he is still a young man? He had a heart attack in his early 20s? Go watch it even if he has a heart attack." What about a thriller?"

"He didn't know that he had heart disease. According to our investigation, he was not congenital heart disease. The doctor's diagnosis should be caused by long-term eating and living habits." The person from the intelligence department said, "We have arranged for someone to send him to the hospital." Consolation money and condolences."

"That's true." Li Wei said with some emotion.He is also a young man himself, and he knows that many young people squander their lives and health at will because of their youth. It is no wonder that the onset age of hypertension, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and other geriatric diseases is getting younger and younger. "It will be noted in the next batch of promotional materials that people with heart disease and physical discomfort should choose carefully to watch this film."

Li Wei's proposal was naturally approved, and this was also a notification, lest someone would be so bored as to sue the film producer.However, this reminder has become a publicity stunt instead. Young people are already very curious, so they really want to see how "Chain Saw" is a movie that can scare a heart attack.Due to the good word-of-mouth and publicity, "Saw" actually won the weekend box office champion for two consecutive weeks.Although everyone knows that once the movie enters the Christmas and New Year's Day schedule, it will basically not exist in the top five, but Kirin Distribution Company has extended the release cycle of this movie in mainstream theaters to the Christmas and New Year's Day holidays.Such an arrangement has been very successful for the movie "Chain Saw", so the production schedule of "Chain Saw 2" is also on the schedule.Liu Han will still be the director of the second film. According to the arrangement, Liu Han will be in charge of the filming of the first three films, and will be the producer of this film instead of directly participating in the filming.
