- I made an appointment with a few buddies for a drink today, and there is only one chapter. I'm sorry——

After Jiang Ran and Zhong Chuhong ended the call, they sat up and paced while thinking about the release of the movie today. When the movie was released, there were very few people who watched it, and some people left the theater in the middle of it.

But now that his mood has calmed down, he slowly recalled the situation at that time, after the movie ended, there were actually more than ten people in the theater who had insisted on watching it, and he seemed to have heard someone applauding. It's a pity that Jiang Ran was immersed in his thoughts at that time and didn't pay attention to this matter.

It can be seen from this that although the movie is not liked by most people, there are still a small number of people who should be able to accept the movie, so the question now is how to eliminate the regional discrimination of the audience and attract more audiences into the theater.

Jiang Ran thought for a while, opened the door, and then came to the conference room—Ran Feng's temporary office in North America. When Jiang Ran found Jiang Wei, he was arranging the next publicity plan for the employees in the conference room.

"Mr. Jiang, you're here. Jiang Wei looked at Jiang Ran, who was staring at him, and was overjoyed, and immediately got up to greet him.

Jiang Ran nodded, sat down and asked, "How is the situation now?"

Jiang Wei's face darkened slightly, and he said, "Mr. Jiang, the situation of the second screening has not improved, and the number of moviegoers is scarce. Our propaganda is very inefficient. ”

After Jiang Ran was silent for a while, he said, "After watching the movie for the first time, did you investigate the audience?"

"There is an investigation arranged. Judging from the results of the survey, the situation is relatively optimistic. A total of 29 people watched the movie in the first show, 12 people left the audience halfway, and 15 people were surveyed, of which 5 liked it very much, 7 liked it, and the rest thought the movie was average. ”

Jiang Ran finally showed a smile on his face, "In this way, as long as the audience can persist in watching it, the acceptance of this movie is still very high." ”

Jiang Wei also smiled when he heard this: "Yes, the audience acceptance in the United States in this regard is even higher than that of Hong Kong." Saying that, he frowned with a headache, "Now our biggest problem is that the audience has no desire to watch Hong Kong movies. ”

"Is there anything you can do?" Jiang Ran asked.

Jiang Wei looked at Jiang Ran with a wry smile, and then shook his head, "There is no good way for the time being, our publicity in California State University has made most people know about "Chainsaw", but students are not in the habit of watching Hong Kong movies. ”

Jiang Ran leaned back, thought for a moment, and then said, "Let's start to increase the publicity of the Chinese area in advance." In addition, free screenings at universities can also be held simultaneously. ”

"Okay, Mr. Jiang. Jiang Wei didn't have any other way, so he agreed.

"Mr. Jiang, Minister Jiang!" an employee next to him suddenly spoke.

Jiang Ran looked over when he heard this, and found that it was Zhou Rui who was running the theater, "Zhou Rui, do you have any opinions?" Jiang Ran smiled and encouraged.

"Mr. Jiang, I'm thinking about what we need now to increase the appeal of the film. Aren't we going to show a movie for free at California State University tonight, and if someone gets stunned or scared to tears during the screening, will it increase the students' curiosity about the movie?"

After Jiang Ran listened to Zhou Rui's words, his eyes lit up, although this will further deepen the bloody sense of "Chainsaw" for some audiences, and lose some viewers who don't particularly like horror and bloody movies, but at the same time, it will also attract the attention of more audiences who like this kind of movie.

"Okay! Jiang Ran slapped the table and said loudly. "Zhou Rui, you go and arrange this matter. Don't be afraid to spend money, and be sure not to make a mistake halfway through. ”

When Jiang Ran and others racked their brains to find a way to attract more audiences into the theater, Paul came to the cinema again.

"Man, this movie," Paul stood at the ticket booth, pointing to the blood-soaked poster, "yes, it's it—a ticket for Saw." ”

Paul, a fan of restricted films, became interested in the Hong Kong film after watching the trailer for Saw in a cinema yesterday.

Originally, he also wanted to invite a few classmates who shared the same hobbies, but unfortunately after they saw that this movie was a Hong Kong movie, they had no desire to watch the movie, so Paul could only come to the theater alone.

Walking into the theater and looking at the sparse audience, "This movie is going to be so bad, maybe I made a bad decision." ”

Although he thought so, now that he had already bought the tickets, Paul planned to take a look at them first.

At the beginning of the movie, there is nothing new in Paul, who grabs a handful of popcorn and is about to stuff it into his mouth, when the screen suddenly shifts to the face of a dead man.

"Shet!" Paul couldn't help but curse as he looked at the disgusting but real image, and no longer had the desire to eat popcorn. Although he scolded from time to time, Paul's eyes never left the screen.

"Who put them in the basement?"

"Who is the dead man lying in the middle?"

"Why did the jigsaw design these traps to kill people in such a way? Who is he?"

“……”

Paul's mind was completely absorbed by the movie, the plot, the clever killing mechanism, the bloody and exciting scenes, everything was so fascinating, at least for Paul.

And at the end of the movie, after experiencing the visual impact of the doctor's self-mutilation and sawing his legs, and then seeing the dead body lying quietly in the middle of the basement crawling up, Paul jumped up directly.

"Shet, Shet, Shet, Jigsaw all the time?"

The movie is over, and Paul is still thinking about the ending of the movie, "Did Lawrence escape in the end?"

Back at school, Paul couldn't wait to call, "Jack, I swear, I watched a very classic movie today. ”

"What?" asked Jack on the phone, for some reason.

"Brother, Hong Kong movies are Hong Kong movies that are promoted in schools - "Chainsaw", this is a good movie, you should go and see it. ”

……

When Paul excitedly recommended the movie to his friends after watching the movie, there were actually some other movie-watching students in the same school who were doing the same thing.

At eight o'clock in the evening, a large activity room of the school, some students came one after another, which was temporarily arranged as a movie screening room, and Ran Feng will show "Chainsaw" here for free tonight.

After a day of publicity, by the time the movie began to be officially screened, there were already more than 100 students watching the movie in the activity room.

As expected after the movie started, people kept leaving the room, but those who stayed were people who really liked the movie.

The screening of the film has been going smoothly, although there are occasional shouts and curses from the audience who leave the theater, but it is generally calm.

"Ahh

As a result, before the exasperated crowd could find the screaming owner, another anxious voice came out, "Emma, what's wrong with you?"

"Call an ambulance, someone has fainted. ”

"Someone was scared, that's an exaggeration. ”

……

There was a commotion in the activity room, and various voices converged to cause a huge uproar.

"Ladies and gentlemen, please stand still lest you cause a commotion. Now someone faints, please get out of the way so we can get in. The timely thought of a voice quickly quelled the commotion in the activity room.

In this way, the free screening of "Saw Horror" at California State University, Los Angeles, had to end in a hurry. However, the film stunted the students, but in a very short time, it spread throughout the campus and began to spread beyond the school.

Subsequently, the Hong Kong film "Chainsaw" began to attract attention on a small scale.
