On the last weekend of September, "Saw 3" was released in North America, and because the first two films were so well received commercially, Embassy Pictures held a premiere for the film.

The first two have won the support of a large number of horror movie lovers for this series.

Like the "Death is Coming" series has a considerable number of "Bleach fans", the "Saw Horror" series also has a large number of "jigsaw" fans.

The difference is that the "jigsaw" fans are made up of two groups with diametrically opposed positions.

Some fans believe that "Jigsaw" is not a simple executioner, but a messenger of justice, and all actions are not to kill, but to punish outlaws or awaken lost people.

Another part of the fans firmly believes that "Jigsaw" is a perverted murderer!

The two sides quarreled on the Internet, and neither could convince anyone, and the quarrel has not won over the other party until now.

There is only one real winner in this brawl - Saw Horror.

After the controversy took the first two films out of theaters, they still attracted a large number of people to watch.

Because the production cost of "Saw 3" was only $4 million, it was impossible for Embassy Pictures to invest too much money in the premiere, so the premiere was not large.

But there were many fans who came to the Nokia Theater, where the premiere was held.

The series has already garnered the support of a sizable regular audience.

And the embassy film industry has also done a lot of articles on publicity.

For example, this is the end of the trilogy, and "Jigsaw" will usher in the judgment of fate in the third part!

There is no doubt that "Jigsaw" is one of the most charismatic villains in Hollywood movies in recent years, and its ending is also a great weapon to attract supporters.

Of course, as long as the series is profitable, after the end of the trilogy, there will naturally be a new trilogy, and then another trilogy is not a problem.

The red carpet ceremony of the premiere was not long, and only the main creators of the crew and several high-level executives of Relativity Entertainment participated, and Ronan also showed his face at the scene to show his attention to Wen Ziren and this series.

Participating in the premiere itself represents an attitude that Ronan has shown to the outside world.

At the premiere, the person who attracted the most attention was Wen Ziren, followed by "Jigsaw" Tobin Bell.

The latter has become the spokesperson of "Jigsaw" in the real world, and when the pale Tobin Bell walked on the red carpet, his slightly gloomy face made fans on both sides of the red carpet quiet for a moment.

It seems that they are all frightened by the "jigsaw".

As a non-famous actor, Tobin Bell will never want to get rid of the name "jigsaw" in his life.

For an actor of his level, it's not a good thing.

At the very least, there is capital to ask the producer for higher remuneration.

In the third installment, Tobin Bell's salary rose to $300,000 plus a 1 percent share of North American box office revenues.

With the filming of the sequel, it is inevitable that the remuneration of the main creators will rise.

For example, as a director and screenwriter Wen Ziren, "Chainsaw 3" does not have a basic salary, but a 7% share of the North American box office.

A director like Wen Ziren, who has already attracted the attention of the entire Hollywood, cannot lower the film contract to the extent of squeezing because of the long-term relationship.

Ronan meets Wen Ziren in the lobby of the theater.

"James, well done. Ronan will not be stingy with praise: "This film will definitely frighten a lot of people." ”

Wen Ziren said with a smile: "I have done my best. ”

Ronan understood what this meant: "You only need to be the producer for the follow-up, and the first trilogy has already created a very successful model for the series. ”

Wen Ziren said: "Darren may not be an excellent pioneer, but he is a very qualified executor. ”

Ronan nodded slightly: "I talked to director Bowsman, and for the next "Saw Horror", his talent is enough. ”

Wen Ziren said again: "I can come out of this series, Ronan, I have some ideas......"

"I also have some ideas for horror films, and when the premiere is over, we'll find a time to talk about it," Ronan said. ”

"Okay. Wen Ziren responded in one bite.

Ronan then meets Darren Bausman, the young director with a very distinctive Mohican hairstyle and a suit that seems to be the same style as Puppet Billy.

Starting with "Saw 4", if there are not too many surprises, Darren Bausman will also direct at least three sequels.

This director's execution ability is more prominent, and he has continuously served as Wen Ziren's deputy in the crew, and he is the most suitable director to continue the successful model of "Chainsaw".

Just like the sequels that followed "Here Comes Death", Ronan doesn't need the "Saw sequel" to have a subversive and groundbreaking creation, and ensuring commercial success is the most important thing.

Two years ago, shortly after the release of "Chainsaw", it attracted considerable attention around the world, and many people who watched the film threatened that they were really scared by the "jigsaw".

Last year, "Saw 2" continued the legend of the "Jigsaw Massacre" and also achieved good results, teaming up with the first one to take home the honor of "the most successful horror film series" in recent years.

After a year, "Saw 3" is back and has opened a new chapter about the "Jigsaw Massacre".

In order to make the trilogy directed by himself have a good ending, Wen Ziren has claimed more than once that he has used a "killer feature", trying to ensure that the film is more tense and exciting than the first two, and at the same time, he will also lead the audience to take a closer look at the dark inner world of "Jigsaw".

The third part firmly catches the audience's attention at the beginning: the life of the jigsaw is coming to an end little by little, so he designed the most perfect game "curtain call" for his death.

In the early publicity of Embassy Pictures, a lot of effort was spent on persuasive advertising!

"Don't buy tickets for the faint of heart, we guarantee that not everyone is brave enough to see the end!"

This will not only not have a warning effect, but will allow more curious audiences to enter the theater.

Another kind of propaganda is to push the "jigsaw" to the so-called altar.

There's a lot of hype about jigsaws.

"In a way, he's a philosopher, a bit like a scientist and an artist, but most of the time, he sees himself as a 'healing doctor' because he keeps saying to his chosen victims: 'You're going to thank me for the rest of my life.'" ”

This is also in line with the expectations of a significant part of "jigsaw" fans.

Because in their eyes, the jigsaw was never a murderer, but a social doctor.

In reality, it is estimated that not a single patient would be grateful to such an outstanding doctor.

Who can see legs, cut fingers, crack jaws, and disembowel at every turn, etc.?

Even if God wants to test people in this way, he will be pulled down from the altar by believers.

In "Chainsaw 3", Wen Ziren precisely intends to package "Jigsaw" as a god-like character.

Probably after this movie, more people will think that the old man is not a murderer, he kills not for the ultimate death but for a kind of redemption, in order to let those who are alive but like dead cherish life again and get a new life.

Perhaps, there will be a group of avid fans singing hymns such as "Salute to Jigsaw".

Regardless of whether the plot of the film is distorted or not, one thing can be confirmed that this one surpasses the first two in terms of bloody and visually stimulating scenes, and many scenes such as craniotomy are so bloody and cruel that people can't look at them directly, which is very in line with the needs of North American horror movie lovers for "horror".

But for viewers like Ronan who appreciate oriental horror more, "Saw 3" is not so much horror as bloody and cruel, and even a little disgusting.

It can only be said that the aesthetics of the traditional North American horror film audience are really not ordinary.

At the premiere, many viewers were frightened, and some people were applauding for the jigsaw.

In these years, there are all kinds of strange worldviews and values.

If you think about it carefully, in fact, there are characters similar to "jigsaws" in reality, but they are all cult leader-level existences.

Someone once said that if the old man in the jigsaw did not die, there would be no problem in establishing a cult, no problem with the Nobel Prize, and no problem in catching up with Sherlock Holmes......

Maybe after Relativity Entertainment has a positive energy training chicken soup movie, there is a cult training film.

Ronan knows very well that with "Saw 3" as the end of the first trilogy, and the director has been changed to Darren Bowsman from the fourth part, the "Saw Horror" series is rushing in the direction of B-grade films, and there will never be a turning back.

The production cost of the subsequent sequels will be controlled within $5 million, and if you want to attract the audience, you must add a new fancy killing show.

In addition, it is necessary to find a more reason to be God for the jigsaw and the disciples of the jigsaw.

The effect of this film is very strong, and Ronan returns to the manor after watching the premiere and sees the supper that Nikia has prepared, and has no appetite at all.

"This is milk that was flown in from New Zealand this evening. Nikia came to Ronan with a cup, "It is said to be good for sleep." ”

When Ronan saw the white liquid in the glass, he instantly thought of the brain of the jigsaw white flower, held back the feeling of nausea, and waved his hand: "I can't drink it, I'll give it all to you." ”

Nikia had no choice but to leave.

Ronan added: "If there are others, you assign them to the staff on the estate, I don't want to see milk in the next few days." ”

Nikia is a little strange, but as a housekeeper, she definitely doesn't ask what she shouldn't ask.

"Okay, Wen Ziren. Ronan muttered, "You're disgusting to me." ”

Thinking about it now, I really admire those who can talk about it in the face of brain flowers.

"It seems that I am not a qualified foodie. Ronan muttered to himself.

Nikia was very attentive, and after putting down the milk, she brought Ronan another glass of water, and Ronan took two sips of water and felt better.

When the weekend is over, it's time to have a good talk with Wen Ziren next week, Wen Ziren shouldn't go down this path of relying solely on blood to scare people.

There are a lot of materials, and after the first decision to cooperate with Wen Ziren, Ronan asked people to make special preparations.
