Chapter 469: Restricted Grade
Most people live without gratitude!
In other words, there is a lack of reverence for life, and even one's own body does not care.
Jigsaw was born with cancer and did not live long. So this pervert is especially jealous of those who are in good health but have something that they don't cherish.
In his eyes, those who do not value life do not deserve it!
In the broadcast hall, people stood up and gave neat applause.
Maybe the idea of this movie is more extreme and morbid, but it cannot be denied that it is indeed an excellent movie, especially the design of the suspense and various reversals of the movie, which can't help but make people applaud.
The producer, who had guessed several times and didn't guess the murderer, muttered in distraction, "Oh my God, the murderer actually appeared in the first place, was it the corpse lying on the ground?
It's amazing!
Wonderful, wonderful!"
The father and daughter of the Zhou family also didn't come back to their senses for a long time.
Not a money-making liar movie?
It's so awesome?
Liu Pian looked at everyone's shocked expressions and couldn't help but smile with satisfaction, "I want to ask you a question, has anyone guessed who the murderer is?"
No one answered.
"It seems that there is none. Liu Pian shook her head and asked again, "What do you think, can it be released?"
This time, there was no objection from everyone and it was unanimously approved.
"Pass!"
"It can be issued!"
"This movie is sure to be a sensation!"
"It's the best gore mystery I've ever seen, not one of them. ”
Hearing this, Liu Pian smiled at the old brother.
Don't worry, I can give you a whole more sassy cult film in the future.
......
After the inspection, the whole world unanimously agreed to the issuance and discussed the cooperation agreement with Liu Pian. Zhou Hao gave Liu Pian a good contract, took the initiative to bear the issuance costs, and gave Liu Pian a high share.
How much box office can a movie with a total investment of 250 get in the end?
At least not lower than Blair the witch.
Liu Pian is now "notorious", the whole American audience knows his name, and his movies can cause enough gimmicks before they are released.
It's just that these gimmicks are a little unpleasant.
After signing the contract, Zhou Mulan accompanied Liu Pian back to school. Her face was still shocked, "This can't be..."
"What can't be?" Liu Pian said proudly, "Didn't you guess that the jigsaw was the corpse on the ground?"
"Not this one. Zhou Mulan looked at Liu Pian strangely, "How could you make such an excellent movie?
Liu Pian's face darkened.
"It's really amazing. Zhou Mulan sighed, "The footage is really well edited, and the foreshadowing and suspense are also well done, are you all doing it?"
"And Steven, they help me. Liu Pian smiled.
"I said, how can you be so good at making movies in the music department. ”
Liu Pian shrugged and didn't explain.
"By the way, how are you doing over there, do you want my help?"
"I'd better do it myself. Zhou Mulan clenched her fists and was full of confidence: "I want to complete a work independently!"
"I wish you success, and we will release it together when the time comes. ”
"Don't, don't be released with you, you want to kill me. ”
Zhou Mulan looked angry.
She is a girl who doesn't like to watch bloody cult movies, and she thinks "SA" is very good, and the box office may be as high as it is, and she may be able to win the weekly box office championship.
Movies of the same period will definitely be sidelined.
Liu Pian laughed at herself, "Now that audiences across the United States are boycotting me, this box office is not easy to win." ”
Zhou Mulan glanced at Liu Pian: "Self-inflicted, don't live!"
.....
Liu Pian did commit a great sin.
When he first filmed witches, he didn't want to make such a big one, and he was satisfied with a box office of one or two hundred million, and finally doubled, and at the same time, social opinion and influence also doubled, and finally achieved the name of "Willow Liar".
During that period of time, Liu Pian made sins in the Hollywood film industry, and he couldn't wash away the reputation he gained from the music industry.
In the following days, "SA" entered the American Society of Film Producers and Distributors for review!
Directly graded as NC-17!
Highest level!
Children under the age of 17 are not allowed to watch!
After Liu Pian got the news, he immediately called Zhou Hao, "What's going on? How can it be NC-17?"
If the age of seventeen is forbidden to watch, the box office will shrink a lot.
Liu Pian's psychological positioning is R-level, although this level is also a restricted level, but it will not prohibit teenagers before the age of seventeen from watching, and it is recommended to watch it accompanied by parents.
In fact, the biggest difference between R-class and NC-17 class is that the erotic part is about the bloody scenes.
Liu Pian thinks that there are no erotic scenes in "SA", but it is too bloody, much bloodier than the original, and the sensory stimulation is stronger!
Zhou Hao's answer to Liu Pian was the same, "The association believes that "SA" is too bloody and will have an irreversible impact on the physical and mental health of teenagers. They feel that teenagers should not be watching. ”
What an impact can't be reversed?
Liu Pian silently raised her middle finger!
He admits that there is an impact, but it is definitely not so exaggerated, "Excuse, don't think I don't know, I have seen a lot of movies with bloody scenes that are not worse than "SA", they are all R-rated, and the ones for Mao are NC-17 ratings?"
Zhou Hao said speechlessly, "You're right, but you should also ask yourself, the witch you were did leave a bad impression on many people, and some people in the association didn't like you." ”
Liu Pian: MMP!
"One more point. Zhou Hao hesitated, "SA is indeed too bloody, especially in those games, you made it too realistic, and you actually gave close-up close-ups, which ordinary people can't stand it." ”
"I can eat. ”
“.....”
"Well, I'll admit it's a little bloody. Liu Pian had a headache and said, "That's it, let's cut a little bloody shots, okay? There should be no problem with the other shots, right?"
"The association is making a fuss about 'blood', and there is nothing wrong with it. ”
"Okay, I'll change!"
Liu Pian gritted her teeth.
......
When Liu Pian told the news to the people of the Brutal Terrorist Society, everyone felt a little unacceptable.
"There's no need. Steven frowned, "Ghoul is all R-rated, why is SA NC-17?"
Liu Pian sighed: "Don't ask why, anyway, we have to cut some of the bloody scenes, otherwise we won't be able to get an R rating, and we will lose a lot of box office at that time." ”
"Oh no!" Derek clutched his hair, "That's all my meticulous shots!
Steven and Bara nodded approvingly.
Liu Pian: "...."
This community really didn't live long.
"Stop talking nonsense, delete it. Liu Pian patted Derek on the shoulder, "Anyway, the highlight of "SA" is not blood, but the far-sighted layout of the jigsaw. ”
Everyone sighed helplessly.
In the end, Liu Pian and the others spent a few days to delete some scenes that were too bloody, and the taste was a little lighter. However, people who faint will still faint after seeing it.
This time, tossing until late April, the film finally got the qualification of R-rate.
At the same time, Yuhao also brought the film to Xiangjiang and Taiwan Island for review.
Xiangjiang's side has won the IIB level: it is not recommended for teenagers and children to watch, and parents are strongly recommended to give tutoring.
In short: not suitable for children.
However, in Hong Kong, except for the third-level films, which have a legally coercive effect, the other grades only have a prompting effect.
Teenagers have to go to the cinema, and the cinema won't stop them.
But if it is a Class III film, it will have legal effect, and it is illegal for a movie theater to let minors watch it!
The III film is a level that many people in the mainland talk about, and later it became the kind of indescribable third-level film by word of mouth. In fact, it's not just, it's not too yellow or too violent.
On the Taiwan side, "SA" won the auxiliary fifteenth level.
Children under the age of 15 are not allowed to watch!
As for the mainland, Liu Pian asked the art world to send it to radio and television to sneak around, but he didn't catch anything, and he was directly dismissed.
Get lost!
I won't release it to you!
......
At the end of April, Universal announced that SA would be released at the end of June and released a trailer.
The trailer doesn't give much useful stuff, not even a bloody shot, only the scene of the two male protagonists struggling in a secret room.
Secondly, the jigsaw's stand-in, a doll with two blushes on its face, also appears.
After the audience finished looking at it, their attention was focused on this doll, but they ignored the others.
On that day, the American audience exploded all at once!
"NO! Neither Universal nor Willow Liar are good things, it's just that they teamed up to deceive us!"
"I remember a Chinese idiom, what is it called'embarrassment', is it the description of the willow liar and the world?"
"Sit back and wait for those who are not afraid of being deceived to test the waters, haha, it must be another bad movie. ”
"The BGM of the trailer is so good, it's worthy of being a willow liar, and it's still great to play music!"
"I wasn't interested in the name at first glance, saws? ”
The English name "SA" does not have a particularly big meaning, and the literal translation is saw. So Liu Pian asked Yuhao to change his Chinese name to a louder one when he promoted it.
The person in charge of Yuhao asked Liu Pian, what to change?
Liu Pian smiled:
Chainsaw Horror!
