379 Who dares to challenge the limits of terror
Bang!
When "Chainsaw" finished playing, there was still a burst of exclamation and panic in the dark, and the headlights in the theater were turned on with a 'bang'.
The bright light makes many viewers unable to adapt to such a strong light, and their eyes are subconsciously narrowed.
But I have to say that the bright movie theater also dispelled the tremors and panic in the hearts of many people.
All the spectators around were embarrassed.
Some people were sweating profusely, some were pale, some were so frightened that they stood up, some were still muttering 'hell, that guy wasn't dead, how could this be?'
In the chaos, Wei Xun walked from the back of the theater to the front and said with a smile: "Hey, guys, don't be afraid, the movie is over." I think you guys just enjoyed watching it. ”
At the beginning of the movie, no one cares who Wei Xun is, and no one is happy to talk to him.
There are even viewers who regret coming here to watch movies because Wei Xun is a Chinese.
But now, the situation is completely different.
"Are you the director of Saw Horror? I have to say, you're really talented. ”
"It's so exciting, it's unbelievable, I was so scared that tears came out of my eyes. ”
"This is definitely the bloodiest, scariest, and most reversed horror movie I've ever seen!"
"It's so enjoyable, I have to admit, you're a genius!"
Seeing the change in the attitude of this group of people before and after, Wei Xun smiled and pressed his hand, and when the theater was a little quieter, he said: "Not only me, but also the three excellent young directors standing in the back of the theater at the moment, we filmed "Saw Horror" together. ”
Everyone turned their heads when they heard this, with amazement and admiration in their eyes.
Kang Cheng, Lin Fan and Xiao Xiaoyang waved to greet the audience, all with bright smiles on their faces.
Clearly, Saw was a success!
At least, he conquered the first batch of Mi audiences during the test screening!
"As you can see, several of us are Chinese, and no cinema company is willing to let us into their cinema for the movies we shoot, and even this DreamWorks theater is chartered at our own expense. ”
Wei Xun shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "So, we thought of a publicity method to record the most authentic reflection of the audience watching this movie with DV, and then accurately put it on the major R-rated movie forums in the United States, so that "Chainsaw" can be seen by more people." ”
Promote the film with the audience's true reflection?
The audience in the theater laughed after listening to it.
"Oh my God, then I think I'm going to be ashamed because I just screamed so loudly. ”
"But I have to say, "Chainsaw" is a really good horror movie, don't be discouraged, dudes, I'm sure you can impress the theater side. ”
"You can also consider posting on Rotten Tomatoes forums and launching a horror movie challenge, R-rated movie enthusiasts love to hunt for curiosity and like to accept challenges. Ahaha, and then they'll be horrified to find out that this movie is a fucking thriller. ”
"When I go back, I will recommend the movie "Chainsaw" to my friends. Such a good-looking movie, it must not be buried, come on, dudes. ”
It was a novelty and fun to hear that the reaction of the audience was going to be used as the material, because there didn't seem to be a movie like this before.
And many viewers said that they would recommend "Saw Horror" to their friends.
When the movie ended and the audience left, Wei Xun, Kang Cheng, Xiao Xiaoyang and Lin Fan sat in the front row of the theater.
It was quiet in the cinema.
"I think we succeeded. Kang Cheng's voice was a little fluttering, he tilted his head to look at Wei Xun, his tone was full of amazement and admiration: "You are really amazing." ”
From a former opponent to now cooperating in a movie, Kang Cheng is completely convinced of Wei Xun.
"Success? No, it's still far from it. Next, our goal is to start with Hollywood and use an R-rated movie to smash the horror movie market in the United States. ”
Wei Xun said with a smile: "After you go back, you edit out the DV material you just filmed and put it on the major film forums in the United States, and then start our publicity plan: interaction." When the audience in a place, more than one theater is willing to watch "Chainsaw", we contact the theater chain of that place to win a movie screening. ”
This is the means that Wei Xun intends to pry open the film market in the United States.
imitates the interactive publicity of "Smart: Ghost Shadow" back then, and the horror movie enthusiasts first spontaneously determine the number of people, and open the movie show through the number of audiences, in this way, no matter how bad your movie is, no theater will refuse to play your movie.
Because if you open one, you will have a full one.
This kind of publicity method seems to be a bit child's play, but R-rated movies have a peculiarity, that is, the audience who likes this kind of movie has a high viscosity and a high sense of curiosity.
This two-scene movie seems to be a little bit unplugged, but in fact, it is a screening scene in another sense, if you want to make the fire of "Chainsaw" burn in the United States, you need to sprinkle some small sparks in this country first.
Lin Fan asked hesitantly when he heard this: "But there are only a few of us, can we be busy?"
"Rest assured, tomorrow a group of staff from Medal Media will arrive in Hollywood, and they will help with the interactive show. ”
Wei Xun said: "Also, when there are more shows, I will invite a group of film critics and editors of professional magazines and newspapers in the United States, to start from the two aspects of the audience market and professional film reviews, when the word-of-mouth effect is smashed out, then we don't need to work hard to contact the theater party, but the theater party will come to the door to cooperate with us." ”
From film production, to publicity and release, almost all the problems have been solved by Wei Xun!
Xiao Xiaoyang, Lin Fan, and Kang Cheng glanced at each other, and they all saw the deep admiration and amazement in each other's eyes, as well as undisguised excitement.
Now that the problems are solved, what are you waiting for, roll up your sleeves and work hard!
Let "Chainsaw" become popular in the United States and even the world, and let the whole world know that Chinese movies can also go abroad!
So the next day, a three-minute video post appeared in the largest R-rated horror movie forum in the United States.
In the video, a group of viewers are screaming in horror by a movie called "Chainsaw".
And the content of the post was: 'Do you dare to watch the horror film 'Chainsaw', which frightened Gore Joman and caused the collective audience in the cinema to scream silently?'
Not only on R-rated horror forums, but also on major movie websites in the United States such as Rotten Tomatoes, as well as on Facebook, a short promotional video has appeared, in which the audience screams and reacts when watching "Chainsaw".
Later, Gore Joman retweeted the video.
The novel publicity mode of 'watching the movie and reflecting the truth' has made "Chainsaw" completely known to more people.
Everyone is wondering, is this movie really so scary?
This so-called group of viewers screamed in shock, is it real, or is it hype and posing?
