The success of the first three installments has not only brought considerable influence to the "Saw Horror" series, but also a gradually solidified audience, and horror movie fans tend to be more loyal.

On the day of the premiere, a large number of fans wearing puppet billy masks appeared in front of the Emirates Rock Theater to begin their annual carnival.

Unlike ordinary horror films, the sales of peripheral products in the "Chainsaw" series can be said to be quite good, and most of the income comes from the puppet ratio.

This puppet, mask, and other merchandise, which represents jigsaw and death, explodes in sales every Halloween season.

In October, sales of puppet-proportion-related goods across North America exceeded $20 million.

The puppet ratio even became the first star of "Chainsaw" that surpassed jigsaws.

Tonight's premiere culminated in a celebration when the series' founder, Wen Ziren, walked the red carpet with Billy, a puppet on an electric bike.

In order to promote the film, Ronan also walked the red carpet and was interviewed by reporters in the media area.

"The first time I saw James Win's film, I was blown away. Ronan's statement is not an exaggeration, and most viewers who see the end of the first part will have a shocking feeling: "After the release, the film grabbed the audience's attention from the beginning of the cut-into the picture, it was so bold, and it was also very clever in terms of structural design, which brought people a very frank and direct fear." ”

This kind of hype is not enough, Ronan also artificially raises the theme of the film: "However, what makes the film really different is its moral seriousness, from beginning to end, the story is not just thinking about how to scare you, but pulling you in, thinking with the characters, what to do to survive in the end." In the contemporary world, whether as an individual or as a member of society, you should know that this is something important enough to ponder. ”

This kind of pure pretense is very marketable among today's moviegoers.

After the release and offline dissemination of the first three films, fans who are now inclined to support jigsaws have gradually become the mainstream.

There is an opinion that is very popular among fans of the Saw series.

"Because of cancer, jigsaws have a deeper sense of life, because we rarely have the opportunity to be so close to death. However, Jigsaw is not the kind of person who will comfort himself with simple pleasures in time, let alone travel to Europe to see the world, but uses the concept of survival value as a starting point to observe the moral choices of others. ”

Jigsaw's constant digging into these ideas eventually led him to create this unique survival game. Although the game itself is very perverted, his purpose is to help people change this society with their love of philosophy or their so-called good intentions for the sake of others......"

This kind of view, which seems to be incorrect and very nonsense, is getting more and more popular among North American audiences.

It can only be said that audiences who like this kind of bloody horror movies may have a bit of a problem with the potential three views.

In an interview with fans at the premiere of the film, a fan reiterated this point of view and emphasized: "That's exactly why I like the role of jigsaw, and I want to say that jigsaw is an out-and-out outlier with unique ideas in the field of horror films." ”

After taking a group photo with the main creative staff of the crew, and chatting with Darren Bousman, the director and former assistant of Wen Ziren, Ronan walked into the theater.

Wen Ziren was by his side.

The Chinese-American director has been able to achieve great success not only because of his outstanding ability, but also because of his emotional intelligence, knowing that even in a place like the United States, relationships are important.

Ronan asked with concern, "Has the filming of "Latent" started?"

"Everything is ready. Wen Ziren immediately replied: "Shooting will start at the beginning of next month, and it is expected that all the shots will be completed within a month." ”

Ronan nodded slightly: "It's in time for next year's release." ”

Wen Ziren said: "After the filming of "Latent" is completed, the original crew, except for some actors who need to be replaced, I plan to shoot "The Conjuring" immediately, and then carry out the post-production of the two films. ”

This is undoubtedly a very thoughtful director, and Ronan fully agrees: "James, you are the producer, you just make the decision." ”

"Okay. Wen Ziren also understands that with great power comes great responsibility.

This horror universe movie project succeeds, and he will really soar in Hollywood and the world, and if it fails, the consequences will be quite serious.

Wen Ziren knows very well that Hollywood has never judged talent by moral and artistic standards, and success and failure are the only criteria.

When I was about to get to the entrance of the theater screening room, someone greeted me.

"Hi, Lao Huang. Wen Ziren took the initiative to greet him and hugged James Huang: "Thank you for coming over and supporting." ”

James Huang smiled and said, "I must come to the premiere of your movie." ”

After Wen Ziren said hello, he immediately stepped aside, and James Huang hurriedly shook Ronan's hand with a smile: "Good evening, Ronan." Thank you Relativity Entertainment for the invitation you extended to me. ”

Ronan also smiled back: "We have been friends and partners for many years, so you don't have to be so polite. ”

James Huang seemed to have something to say to Ronan, and glanced at Wen Ziren, who was a smart person, and immediately said, "I'll go in first." ”

When Wen Ziren's figure disappeared into the foyer, James Huang said: "Ronan, I don't have any other meaning to cooperate with Twentieth Century Fox, just because they offer the best conditions, which is pure business cooperation. ”

Ronan nodded slightly: "I understand, James, it's okay. ”

Hearing this, James Wong, who was originally worried about the cooperation with Twentieth Century Fox, completely relieved his heart, followed Ronan's words, and said: "Except for this "Dragon Ball" film project, I will not participate in any affairs of Twentieth Century Fox. ”

Ronan smiled, "James, am I that stingy?"

James Wong thinks about it, with Ronan's status and status, it is impossible for him to have an opinion because he works with another company, even if this company is Twentieth Century Fox that does not deal with Relativity Entertainment.

It would have been a very common situation for a director to work with different film production companies in Hollywood.

Ronan beckoned to James Wong: "Let's go, let's go in together." ”

James Wong followed Ronan towards the theater and said as he walked, "Ronan, do you have any suggestions for the Dragon Ball project?"

Ronan thought for a moment and said, "I told you on the phone last time. ”

James Huang fell silent for a moment.

Looking at the love of many years of cooperation, Ronan once again reminded: "In my personal opinion, the key to the project of "Dragon Ball" is to control the scale of investment. ”

It's a cliché, and the last time we were on the phone, Ronan said something like that to James Wong.

Last time, James Wong didn't listen, and this time it's the same.

"Twentieth Century Fox's $130 million production budget has been set......

Ronan didn't say anything more when he heard this, because he knew very well that James Huang had been looking forward to directing a real first-line production since "The Grim Reaper", and "Cosmic Pursuit" made him slow down this process, but did not let him give up.

After reminding him twice in a row, seeing that it had no effect, Ronan was sure that it was useless to say more.

To a certain extent, successful Hollywood directors are very stubborn guys, and how many famous directors have been, because they don't agree with the creative concept of the production company, they would rather quit the crew and resign as a director than compromise.

There are not a few such directors.

Ronan said that, after entering the theater, he went directly to the front row and sat down.

The lights on the ceiling went out one after another, and the inside of the theater went dark.

Just opposite the first row, in front of the lower stage under the screen, is the puppet Billy riding a bicycle, and in the dark theater, at first glance, it is a little seeping.

This is Wen Ziren personally placed here, and it is also for more publicity to sell the peripherals.

Today, Wen Ziren has begun to learn to think from the perspective of producers and film company executives.

"Saw Horror" has also officially come to the fourth part.

When "Saw Horror" continues in its own way, one a year, even though the jigsaw has died in the third part, the story still revolves around the jigsaw, building and showing the belief and world view of the jigsaw at a deeper level.

"What the hell is going on here? Where am I?"

In the same way, appearing in the first two minutes of the first part of "Chainsaw" is the most direct manifestation of the main emotions of the whole story: chaos because of despair, fear because of powerlessness, and of course, that feeling of complete panic, which forms the core of this horror movie.

All the "Chainsaw" movies revolve around the ruse of jigsaw, and as for himself, he is a terminally ill cancer patient, who has become a genius who specializes in designing terrible "survival games" because of his strict and almost harsh moral orientation, and the players he chooses to participate in the game, without the right to refuse, are people he believes are worthless and necessary for survival.

"Saw" has touched the nerves of every horror movie lover in the world with its unique chord notes, taking the baton that could dominate the horror film industry from classics such as the "Moonlight Panic" series and the "Ghost Street" series.

In fact, this series has become a standard for measuring Hollywood horror movie culture, whether it is in the cinema market, or in terms of home theaters such as DVDs, or TV broadcasts and Internet on-demand, it can be called one of the most profitable horror movie series in the history of cinema.
