When Wei Xun, Kang Cheng and others were busy with the announcement of "Chainsaw", a large number of news releases about the box office failure of Wei Xun's "Chainsaw" began to appear on major networks in China.

Baldwin's "Ghost Baby" grossed $9 million on the first day, and Wei Xun's "Chainsaw" failed miserably, with less than $200,000 on the first day. ”

Wei Xun suffered a tragic Waterloo, not only failed in "Saw", but also lost tens of millions of dollars in bets. ”

Baldwin's Facebook shouted to Wei Xun that he hoped to repay the money as soon as possible after a month, saying that it was impossible for Chinese filmmakers to succeed in Hollywood. ”

As soon as these news releases came out, they immediately caused an uproar on the Internet.

In fact, everyone didn't dare to expect Wei Xun to win, but as a top director in China and known as the king of commercial film directors, Wei Xun lost so badly in the United States, which still made many netizens find it difficult to accept.

"I went to see the box office statistics in the United States, this marketing account is not lying, the box office of "Chainsaw" is 200,000 US dollars, and it only has more than 200 games. ”

"If you can't get through the theater channel, it means that you can't even get admission tickets, no matter how good the quality of the movie is, it is impossible to get good results, and it is no wonder that Baldwin is so arrogant. ”

"I feel a little uncomfortable, when will our movies be able to make a success in Hollywood, not even Wei Xun, who else can. ”

"There are so few scenes of "Saw Horror", and it is an interactive opening, so even though I am in the United States now, I have not seen this movie. But I can responsibly tell you that on Rotten Tomatoes and other related forums, some people have a good evaluation of "Saw Horror", although it lost at the box office, but a small range of word-of-mouth is still okay. ”

Regarding the failure of "Chainsaw", although Huaxia netizens are not very comfortable, they are helpless.

And to put it mildly, over the years, everyone has become accustomed to the failures of Chinese filmmakers in Hollywood.

Although some people on the Internet say that "Chainsaw" has a good reputation in a small area of the United States, a "small range" is enough to explain the problem.

Because the movie from Huaxia was directly rejected by the theater line in the United States, not to mention wanting to take the global release channel of the Golden Lion's movie like "Ghost Baby".

That's the gap.

industrial technology, and the gap in global channels.

So, Baldwin's statement on Facebook was very arrogant.

Baldwin: 10 million dollars to buy a lesson, it's really worth it for Chinese people, I hope you can recognize your abilities, and then leave Hollywood, because you can't succeed in Hollywood.

This state, unsurprisingly, was besieged by many Chinese netizens.

But Baldwin didn't care.

Because 10 million US dollars can be obtained immediately, and R-rated movies like "Ghost Baby" cannot be released in China, there is no need to care about what Chinese people think for the sake of the box office.

As for waiting for his next movie to be released, the forgetful Chinese will forget what is happening now, pretend nothing has happened and continue to walk into the cinema.

Look, how can such a country make high-quality movies?

Wei Xun wants to bet on him with a movie starring Chinese people, which is simply a joke.

And Wei Xun, who is known as a joke, is contacting some well-known film critics in the United States, as well as the editors of major film newspapers.

For example, at this moment in a restaurant in Hollywood, opposite Wei Xun, there is a middle-aged white old man.

The old man's name is Charlie, and he is the deputy editor of the Hollywood Movie Newspaper, and he is also a very famous gold medal film critic.

"You want me to write a review for your movie Chainsaw?"

Hearing the request of the Huaxia man sitting opposite, Charlie was slightly stunned, and then said with a little amusement: "I'm sorry man, I think you found the wrong person." In fact, if it weren't for Gorjoman, you wouldn't even see me here. ”

Yes, Charlie was hired by Gore Joman for Wei Xun.

But it seems that the deputy editor of "Hollywood Movie News" has heard of the movie "Chainsaw". Of course, knowing this movie is not because it is famous, but because it ......

"You know, I have a $10 million bet with that Baldwin idiot. ”

Wei Xun was not surprised to hear Charlie's refusal without hesitation, he smiled and said, "So do you know what it means?"

Charlie shrugged his shoulders and smiled weirdly, "It means you're not smart either." ”

"You're right, so I'm used to humiliating people with things that aren't very clever, like money, because I'm really rich. ”

Wei Xun took out a thick paper envelope from his pocket and put it on the table, and said with a smile: "There is a movie ticket for "Chainsaw" here, twenty minutes later, in the movie theater eight hundred meters from this restaurant and left, there is just a movie screening, I think you can go and see it, and then write a movie review." ”

Charlie picked up the paper envelope, looked at the thick wad of dollars inside, and raised an eyebrow.

I have to say that he likes this 'humiliating' method.

Wei Xun stood up and said with a smile: "If you can see the movie review column of "Chainsaw" on "Hollywood Movie News" tomorrow, I think the money in your hand can be doubled." ”

This time, Charlie was really moved, and he said with a smile: "At least you have refreshed my perception of Huaxia people, you are really rich." ”

"I love to hear you say that. ”

Wei Xun smiled, got up and walked outside, and said, "Good luck, friend." ”

The Hollywood sunshine at the end of August is scorching.

When Wei Xun walked out of the restaurant, he received a call from Kang Cheng.

On the phone, Kang Cheng said excitedly: "Several newspapers have written film reviews of "Chainsaw", and these people look down on us, but when they see the money, they are all obediently annoyed. ”

Wei Xun took out his sunglasses from his pocket and put them on, and asked, "Which newspapers?"

Kang Cheng said: "The Los Angeles Times, and Universal Movies. ”

They are all very authoritative newspapers in the film industry in the United States.

After hanging up Kang Cheng's phone, Wei Xun bought "Los Angeles Times" and "Universal Movies" on the side of the road, and then flipped through them.

"Unbelievable, I recently stumbled upon an R-rated horror movie called Saw in a movie theater, I thought it was just a boring horror movie to pass the time, but after watching it, my whole body felt like I was prostrating, that hair-making shiver, even though I had come out of the cinema at the moment, but this kind of thing still lingered. ”

"I have to admit that this is the most amazing R-rated horror film I've ever seen, and Baldwin's 'Ghost Baby' is as ugly as shit compared to 'Saw.' ”

Today is the second day of the release of "Ghost Baby", and the attention of R-rated movie lovers is on this horror film.

However, some newspapers and brilliant film critics began to boast about a movie called "Chainsaw" from this day on.

This film, directed by Chinese director Wei Xun without any big-name actors and shot in just a dozen days, officially began to explode in word-of-mouth.
