On May 23, it has been two days since "Saw Horror" landed in Japan, South Korea, Southeast Asia and other places.

In order to get a good box office in these places, DreamWorks spent nearly 5 million on promotion here before it was released, especially in Japan, where it spent the most money.

Not to mention that Japan is still the largest box office base in Asia, just talking about the hobbies of Japanese people, movies like "Chainsaw" can be said to be like a fish in water.

Some people ask, will Japanese people like such movies?

As soon as these words came out, the Japanese were upset:

"Nani, you said 'Saw Horror' is too /bloody/bloody and no one will watch it, haha...... Go and see our "Killer Aichi", "Cut Throat" aka "Organ" famous Japanese underground movie "Guinea Pig Series", you can only know what metamorphosis is when you look at those. ”

It is true that the Japanese desire for beauty, but their personality is extremely repressive, and island countries, especially in a volcanic and earthquake-prone island country like Japan, are obsessed with beautiful things, but the opposite of beauty is also extreme.

Coupled with the samurai spirit of nearly 2,000 years, it may not be possible in the world to obey orders more obediently than Japan. All kinds of reasons, whether it is repression, small living space, obedience, it is all these things that make the Japanese extremely perverted.

It can be seen in many ways, no matter what it is.

Therefore, "Saw Horror" is very suitable for the taste of the Japanese, and the promotion of DreamWorks for this painting is quite expensive.

As for South Korea, it is much smaller, and South Korea is also a country that has been inferior and timid for more than a thousand years.

It's just that in order to get rid of this inferiority complex in the bones, South Korea is extremely arrogant, arrogant and distorted. The first stick country in the universe is not called casually, there is a reason.

As for Southeast Asian countries, DreamWorks has simply promoted it, and occasionally some posters are promoted there in front of the cinema.

As the bridgehead of Asian films, Hong Kong, since "Chainsaw" has aroused widespread heated discussions in Hong Kong, they naturally have to pay attention to it.

On the first day of the release, it was the same as when it was released in Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, and not many people paid attention to it.

At this moment, these places are the world of the Hollywood spy film "Life and Death Sniper" and the three-dimensional animated movie "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles".

So much so, on the first day, "Chainsaw" only won a box office equivalent to less than 1.5 million yuan in Japan, which is still the country with the most publicity, plus because of its penchant for bloody films.

South Korea was the second, only winning 540,000 yuan at the box office, and eight Southeast Asian countries won the box office equivalent to 2.38 million yuan.

However...... It's gold that always shines, but anyone who has watched "Chainsaw" is shocked.

Unlike Japan, which is downright perverted and bloody, "Chainsaw" also has a lot of connotations, but it is buried under the blood, and because the blood is outrageous enough, fans often ignore the connotation.

The next day, "Saw Horror" reached 2.65 million at the box office in Japan, 890,000 in South Korea, and 4.02 million in eight Southeast Asian countries.

And a round of extensive discussions began.

{"I heard about "Saw Horror" some time ago, this film is produced by a mainland company and produced by DreamWorks.} Screenwriter winner of the Golden Lion for Best Film in Venice.

This film in the mainland, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, caused a storm of terror, today I was fortunate to watch this film, it is really good, no wonder the Chinese are crazy like the hot discussion of this film, this film is worthy of everyone's love. ”}

――【Singapore netizens】

{"Nani, it turned out to be made by Chinese, I know that Chinese kung fu movies are very powerful, Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan, Jet Li I like it very much."}

But today I watched "Saw Horror" and it was so good.

I seriously suspect that the Chinese are filmed for us to see, the plot of reasoning, bloody scenes, dazzling killing tools, and I like it too much.

I heard that the screenwriter and producer of this film is Wang Meng Wangjun, I know him, and I also saw the promotion of his new film "Painted Skin" some time ago. I didn't expect that there was a plot of "Painted Skin" at the end of "Saw Horror".

A silver fox, so beautiful, the special effects are better than ours, and I also like Wang Jun's "Transformers".

In the end, Wang Jun seems to have never been to Japan, and I hope that when Wang Jun's new film "Painted Skin" is released, Wang Jun will come to Japan to promote it, and I look forward to it again - the Japanese people welcome Wang Jun to Japan. ”}

- [Japanese netizens].

Wang Meng shamelessly added the promotional video of "Painted Skin" at the end of "Chainsaw", which is the clip of the silver fox in the sky, the part of pure special effects.

Wang Mengmeng took this opportunity to promote "Painted Skin", which not only saved a lot of publicity costs, but also increased expectations. Many companies play like this, and Wang Meng doesn't feel bad.

"I like Wang Mengoba's "You at the Same Table" very much, is Wang Mengoba so handsome? I like him so much, but Wang Meng'oba you scared me to cry this time, how can you do this? However, I forgive you, I really wish to give Wang Meng'oba a monkey. ”

- [Korean female netizen].

"It's good-looking, it's good-looking, it's very much in line with the preferences of the Japanese people, and it's more philosophical than our pure bloody perversion. It's hard to imagine that Chinese have made such a movie, in recent years, Chinese movies have constantly refreshed my thinking, there are soft sci-fi, there are magnificent costume productions, and now horror films are so good, the progress of Chinese films is too fast. From a lot of foreshadowing, it can be seen that there will be a sequel to "Saw Horror", and I look forward to the exciting story below. ”

――【Yamato Evening News】

"Saw Horror" has been praised a lot, but some Buddhist countries in Southeast Asia are not like this, and Thailand has suffered a great cold reception, resulting in being forced to draw three days after the release, because there are too many attacks.

As a result, DreamWorks, as well as Liu Zhiyuan, was named unpopular as a Chinese film company and director.

DreamWorks would have thought that there was such a situation, and thought that the bridgeheads in Hong Kong were all hot, and Southeast Asia should be no different.

But...... It's because of my lack of experience that this time it was almost DreamWorks that contacted overseas releases independently, so I ran into trouble.

Fortunately, Thailand is not a box office powerhouse, and it is indeed very strong in Southeast Asia, but it is far worse than Japan and South Korea.

In particular, Japan's upward momentum is outrageous compared to China, and in the first seven days of the week, Japan cut a box office equivalent to 16.34 million yuan, which is not far from more than 18 million in the mainland.

Even, in the second week, it completely surpassed the mainland.

The reason is very simple, first, the Japanese do like such movies, and second, the box office of Japanese movies is indeed better than that of China.

In South Korea's week, "Saw Horror" won a total box office of 5.21 million, and eight Southeast Asian countries became seven countries, winning 18.23 million at the box office.

A storm of terror from China has swept across Asia.

In the mainland, after winning the box office of 30 million in the first two weeks, the decline in the third week was very serious, and it only won less than 9 million at the box office. In three weeks, the mainland won a total box office of 39.24 million, but the record has been broken.

The box office of Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, which was released for two weeks, was 17 million in the first week, and the decline was not big in the second week, with a total of 14.34 million box office in the three places, a total of Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, and the box office reached 32.34 million in two weeks

Three weeks in the mainland, two weeks in Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, and one week in Japan, South Korea and Southeast Asia, with a total box office, "Saw Horror" has cut a box office of 111.1 million.

The total box office of "Saw Horror" officially exceeded 100 million yuan.

When the news reached the mainland, many people opened their mouths in fright. Especially the bosses of those film and television companies.

knows that the investment of "Chainsaw" is 2 million, plus all the publicity expenses of 8 million, that is, an investment of 10 million.

And now, just talking about the 40 million box office in the mainland and a 35% share, DreamWorks has received a net income of 14 million.

DreamWorks got a 30% share of the three parts of Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, and the box office of 32.34 million is the box office of 9.7 million.

The total box office of overseas, Japan, Southeast Asia, South Korea and other places is nearly 40 million, and according to the share ratio of these countries, 25% of the share is a net income of 9 million. And it's only been a week since these places! Moreover, it is the first week after the word-of-mouth explosion.

With only three weeks of net income in the mainland, two weeks in Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, and one week overseas, DreamWorks has won nearly 31 million net income with "Chainsaw", and 21 million net income in addition to the investment of 10 million.

It is expected that it will be released in the mainland for 3 to 4 weeks. There are still 3 to 4 weeks in Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan. It can also be released overseas for 4 to 5 weeks.

If these places are released after the film, it is unknown how much box office it can reach, in short, it is an astronomical amount, in short, DreamWorks has made a lot of money.

As a result, the entertainment industry, which had cooled down a little, began to be heated again.

"DreamWorks' NC-level movie "Chainsaw" is moving forward bravely, with a box office of nearly 40 million in three weeks in the mainland, 33 million in Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan in two weeks, and nearly 40 million in a week overseas, with a cumulative total global box office of 111 million yuan. "Chainsaw" officially broke 100 million, this is a victory for Chinese films, but also a victory for cutting-edge directors, DreamWorks Liu Zhiyuan became famous with this film, and it is understood that DreamWorks' people and horses are aiming at North America, Europe and Oceania, etc., and there is still a long way to go for "Chainsaw" in the future. We'll see. ”

{"A terrifying storm swept across Asia, DreamWorks' new film, produced by Wang Meng, directed by Liu Zhiyuan, and written by Wang Meng, swept across Asia, with an attitude of God blocking and killing God, and Buddha blocking and killing Buddha by leaps and bounds.

The total overseas box office, the mainland, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan and other places exceeded 100 million. Especially in Japan, the momentum of "Chainsaw Horror" in Japan is expected to surpass that of the mainland, and many Japanese netizens not only lamented that this film was made by Chinese for the Japanese.

It is not difficult to see from the love of Japanese movie fans that North America and Europe, which also love such films, will also set off a terrifying storm. And what DreamWorks said before - the global release is unstoppable.

I remember that at the beginning, DreamWorks' soft sci-fi film "This Man is from Earth" attracted a lot of attention in Asia, and since then "This Man" has landed in Europe and adapted and released in North America.

But its influence and popularity are not at the same level as today's "Saw Horror".

Now DreamWorks is starting anew, not satisfied with the current achievements, but moving forward with its head held high, overcoming obstacles all the way, this is the attitude that Chinese filmmakers should have, praise for DreamWorks......

DreamWorks' dissatisfaction is not to say, its DreamWorks boss, DreamWorks founder, and DreamWorks backbone Wang Meng's new film "Painted Skin" is being filmed, which is expected to be released in September, and may be released worldwide.

We will wait and see how far Saw can go, and we expect the horror storm of Saw to sweep not only in Asia, but also in the world. ”}

――[A film critic]

Recently, because "Chainsaw" has been released in the mainland for three weeks, its downward trend is obvious, and after the initial hot period, criticism of "Chainsaw" has also begun.

But these critics are in bad luck.

Some time ago, I gritted my teeth and wanted to scold "Chainsaw" with high morale, but the box office of Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan came back, who would dare to scold such a result?

So these people endured and endured, and finally waited until the limelight of "Saw Horror" declined in the third week, so a group of people had already thought of tens of thousands of words of criticism, and they waited for time to start scolding.

For this reason, these people write with sore hands, read passionately, and wait for the opportunity.

Outcome...... It's a dog......

Is there any end to it?

"Saw Horror" has won glory for the country, swept across Asia, and rolled up a terrifying storm.

Well, or can't scold? Wait a little longer.

But when they heard the news that it was going to be released in North America and Europe, the gang was dumbfounded, and according to the rhythm of "Chainsaw", it seemed that a week later, the good news from North America and Europe was going to return to China.

Is that still a chicken feather? At that time, it was all praise, and you still scolded, looking for death?

This group of angry people was angry, and the tens of thousands of words they wrote were all burned.

Wild shout - don't bring such a play, we have collected the money, we don't want to return, we want to eat.

The jubilant Dream Factory has been particularly happy lately, and its cheeks hurt when it laughs.

Recently, Liu Zhiyuan Yanran has become the most famous DreamWorks director under Wang Meng, Liu Zhiyuan has become a royal photographer from a photographer who was excavated by Wang Meng, and has successfully become a horror director who wants to be with overseas from a photographer, and has become a model for everyone to learn from recently.

In the second week of its overseas release, the box office of "Chainsaw", led by Japan, has been soaring.

The Hollywood blockbuster "Life and Death Sniper", which was released for more than ten days, was cut down, and the box office of Chainsaw Japan reached 13 million in the first three days of the second week, while "Life and Death Sniper" was only 12.4 million. "Life and Death Sniper", which has been in theaters for two weeks, has met opponents in Asia.

The three-day box office of "Life and Death Sniper" in Southeast Asia is 16.23 million, and "Chainsaw" is 16.84 million. Due to the early release of "Life and Death Sniper", despite its good reputation, it was still cut down by "Chainsaw".

South Korea alone, "Life and Death Sniper" had 4.26 million in the first three days, and "Chainsaw" had 3.78 million. Here, "Life and Death Sniper" retains the first position of overseas films in their own country.

And "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles", which was released almost at the same time as "Chainsaw", is the opposite, in Japan, "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" is original in Japan, and I like it a lot, plus Japanese people like to watch cartoons.

So among Japan's overseas films, "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" won the first place at the box office, the second is "Chainsaw", and the third is "Life and Death Sniper".

In Southeast Asia, "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" is over, and there are not many people to watch, so Southeast Asia's "Saw Horror" is the first, "Life and Death Sniper" is the second, and "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" is third.

South Korea's overseas films are the first to be released locally in "Life and Death Sniper", "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" second, and "Saw Horror" third.

In short, each has its own merits.

The Chinese people are proud of such achievements. But for Hollywood in the United States, it doesn't look that way.

"Life and Death Sniper" and "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" actually met opponents, and the opponents were either a Chinese movie or an NC-level horror film.

How proud Americans don't think about it.

For this reason, some time ago, Wang Meng and Lionsgate contacted North America to release "Saw Horror", Lionsgate was still hesitating, but now they don't hesitate, they don't need Wang Meng to go to North America, they came by themselves.

At the same time, the European theater chain contacted also came, and it was obvious that the results of "Saw Horror" in Asia gave them hope of making money.

Especially after learning that an NC-level horror film, these two places in Europe and the United States like this kind of blood type and dismemberment film very much, and the taste is very strong. So it's all for the money.
