Chapter 486: Halloween scare

As the clock approaches Halloween, a new weekend arrives, and on the eve of Halloween, the 31st, the last day of January, is full of quirky or thrill-seeking atmospheres, and there is only one new horror movie in the bustling cinema that is released on a large scale: the small-budget production of Saw Horror. △↗,

The horror film, which was announced to be produced at a cost of only $3oo million, took only a month and a half from preparation to completion in September last year, with the screen work of 26-year-old Malaysian-Chinese director James Win and the equally unknown producer, screenwriter and star Ray Warner. It was screened at the St. Denis Film Festival in January this year, and it was well received at the time and was very popular with some horror film lovers. Many people have put together the new remake of "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" a few days ago, chainsaw vs chainsaw, what is so special about this chainsaw?

The topic of chainsaw has always been very attractive among horror movie fans.

And this film was also bought by Lionsgate after the film festival. This is a consistent trick of Lionsgate, buying small-budget horror films, and they tend to be box office dark horses.

It's just that this time James Wing wisely did not sell the movie all at once, but enjoyed the box office share, and his choice was undoubtedly right.

Chen Tiandu also knew the name of this movie, and specially took Kate to watch this movie together.

"The sun is on your ass, Adam. Maybe you're wondering where this is? I tell you, this is the place where you are likely to be laid to rest. ”

……

"Dr. Gao, your daily job is to tell the patients, 'I'm sorry, I've done my best.'" While watching them indifferently in pain. Watch them die. Then watch their families suffer. Today you will become the Grim Reaper, and the goal of this game is to kill Adam before 6 o'clock! ”

...... "I want to play a game." ”

"Life or death is in your hands!" ……

The screening room was not full, and no one was now sitting in the corner enjoying the young couple of two. It's just that Chen Tiandu regretted it not long after he came in, he would actually be frightened by this kind of movie, and he felt sick to his stomach every time he saw blood spraying out and severed limbs. What he couldn't stand the most was that Kate actually watched it with relish. I also eat popcorn while watching.

"Honey, this movie is good...... What's wrong with you, don't tell me you're scared, hahaha. Kate teased him very facelessly, "Look, look, it's dying again, and it's going to be over soon." ”

“…… I can't stand you. Chen Tiandu pretended not to care and said: "You think I will be scared by this kind of movie, don't be funny." Don't forget that the first movie I made was a horror movie, well, no horror film has been able to break the box office so far. ”

"Quiet!" Someone in the front row heard them flirting and turned around to warn them. The husband and wife looked at each other. I couldn't help but hold back my laughter.

As soon as the audience in the front row finished shouting, they seemed to feel that something was wrong. "Hey, just now the guy in the back said that his first movie was a horror movie, and it wouldn't be a movie. Really bragging. He wanted to see the true face of these two braggart guys, but when he turned around, he almost didn't scare him to death, "Oh, my God, who did I see." Oh my God...... Chen Tiandu, Kate, no wonder he said that. ”

"Shhhh ”

"Oh, okay." The audience stupidly went back to do a good job, but the whole scene was dizzy.

The big screen was still splashing blood, the shrill twisted screams in the stereo made the scalp tingle, the hall was silent, only a few prolonged breathing, and almost everyone in the audience faintly heard the sound of puff heartbeat intensifying.

When others watch horror movies, the woman throws herself into the man's arms, but Chen Tiandu is the opposite, holding Kate's arm with an unbearable expression.

"Ahhhh The flesh and blood on the screen made him feel a churn in his stomach, and his scalp seemed to be towering, and he wanted to vomit! Kate was so amused by Chen Tiandu's reaction that she was about to laugh, covering her mouth and laughing, and her abdominal muscles were about to laugh out of her stomach.

"Hahaha, I really didn't expect you to be afraid of this kind of bloody horror movie. This is a hidden attribute of you after getting married. ”

"Perverted...... Let's go. Chen Tian couldn't sit still, and finally pulled Kate to leave the venue early, which disappointed the audience in the front row who was going to take a photo with them after the screening.

After I went back, I broke the news on my blog: Chen Tiandu and Kate watched "Chainsaw" with Kate in the cinema just now, and you will never guess their reaction to watching horror movies.

There was no need for netizens to guess at all, he couldn't wait to break the news about what he had seen and heard all night.

It was Chen Tiandu who was shaking with fear, and Kate laughed? Blogger funny, this is the funniest post for Halloween. ”

"Chen Tian will be afraid to watch horror movies, don't be funny. Do you know who made the highest-grossing horror film at the moment, "The Sixth Sense", a horror film that created a global box office of 600 million that year, and no one has broken the record so far. ”

……

The comments below are generally unbelieving. The blogger swore that I was absolutely not lying.

But then Kate's own blog took the initiative to break the news that she had not been afraid of watching bloody horror movies without her current husband for so many years. revealed Chen Tiandu's frightened reaction, she almost laughed in the movie theater, and she didn't even remember what the movie was talking about.

Now netizens were dumbfounded, "It's actually true, it's too funny." ”

"It's funny, is this our heroic captain?"

"Are these two really husband and wife, the man will tremble with fear when he watches horror movies, but the woman will laugh and hurt her stomach...... It doesn't get any more eccentric than that. ”

"Haha, I'm going to get scared and see what kind of horror movie it is."

The gossip media have reprinted the report, and the whole Hollywood people know about it.

Many friends called him to embarrass him, which was really shameless.

Lionsgate was overjoyed when it got the news, and immediately began to promote it with the help of this point. Hype up "Chen Tiandu's scared movie." Horror box office record holders watch horror movies that will be scared. You can't miss it. ......" and other news. Be sure to associate him with Saw Horror. ”

actually mobilized many Chen Tiandu's fans to go to the cinema to witness the truth, which made the attendance rate improve significantly.

Chen Tiandu's fans ran to the official website of Lionsgate to ask for credit, "You have to thank Chen Tiandu, he didn't watch "Van Helsing", and specially picked "Chainsaw". Go and see. "This uproar can at least add millions of dollars to the box office of "Chainsaw".

Lionsgate is grateful or not, but the fledgling James Wing is very grateful and responds to the words of fans. hooked up with Chen Tiandu on the blog. He knows very well that Chen Tiandu watched this movie, mostly for the sake of the Chinese. Otherwise, why didn't he go to watch the American version of "The Grudge" with a better reputation.

actually got a response, Kate's blog followed him and wrote, "Come on." By the way, "Chen Tiandu no longer plays blogs, and she is in charge of the account." ”

Yes, Chen Tiandu no longer plays blogs, but there are still persistent fans who find his ae wave OK. Leave a message asking if he's real...... That's enough.

Fortunately, the quality of this movie is not bad, and it uses horror films to express the concept of cherishing life.

Scary enough. Deep enough.

James Win's hookup can be regarded as the youngest big-name director who successfully met Hollywood's famous name. Chen Tiandu chatted with him on the phone, but unfortunately Wen Ziren didn't seem to speak Chinese well enough.

Chen Tiandu congratulated him on the success of his film, and Wen Ziren sincerely thanked him.

I didn't think much about it, I just made friends, maybe there will be opportunities for cooperation in the future.

On January 31st, Halloween is celebrated, and the streets of the United States are filled with live performances, stage illusion magic, realistic wandering corpses, and ghosts.

The origin of this carnival is that in the 500 years BC, people living in Ireland, Scotland and other places believed that the souls of the deceased would return to the place where they lived before returning on November 31, and search for the living in the body of the living for a chance to be reborn. Fearing that ghosts will take their lives, the local population will turn off all lights when the 31st of January arrives, so that the ghosts cannot find the living, and dress up as demons to scare the ghosts away.

As time passed, the meaning of Halloween became festive.

As a result, the monsters and pictures that symbolize Halloween have become cute and quirky, such as melon monsters and witches. The Americans who love to be creative will do their best to dress up as a ghost on this day, making Halloween a lot more fun.

This is a happy festival, Chen Tiandu and Kate put down all their work, and the children are not around, they rarely enjoy a warm time for the two.

When night falls, fill the children who come knocking on the door to ask for candy. The children also put on colorful makeup clothes, wore strange masks, and ran out to play with a "jack lantern".

The "Jack's Lantern" is very cute, by hollowing out the pumpkin and carving smiling eyes and a big mouth on the outside, and then inserting a candle in the melon and lighting it, so that people can see this cute smiling face from a long distance.

Kate finished Halloween, but she missed her children even more, "In a few years, Fei Ran and Fei Zhang should be like them, running around with a jack lamp to ask for candy." ”

……

A week has passed since Halloween on January 25~31, and the lively Halloween has left indelible memories for many people.

Despite the turmoil of "Saw Horror", it could not shake the foundation of "Van Helsing".

According to box office statistics on Sunday, "Van Helsing" took another $3.98 million this weekend, a drop of nearly 5o%, but the total box office in North America has already exceeded $125 million.

This week, with the start of the global large-scale release, the global box office has also exceeded 250 million US dollars, leading the entire Halloween file.

The thriller "The Grudge" won the runner-up position again with a box office of 2.24 million on the Halloween weekend. The musical film "Soul Singer" (Ray) debuted this week and was well received and ranked second in the North American box office list with a box office score of 2o1o. Starring Jamie Fox, this film tells the story of the life of the talented American singer Ray Har1es.

This kind of music documentary is generally the heat of consumer fans. The box office is concentrated in the weekly explosion, which has little impact on the follow-up as a whole.

The low-budget thriller "Chainsaw" (SA) sat in fourth place in the North American box office list this week, ending its weekly release with a box office score of 1.98 million, showing its dark horse true colors.

The film was produced by Lionsgate and was the best-grossing film after another of the company's films, "Ahrenheit 9/11."

Fahrenheit 911 grossed $23.9 million at the time. And the film's director, James Gentle Ray Warner, has clearly improved on the old homicidal maniac story, not only arranging a nightmarish mystery setting, but also coming up with more bloody, violent, and terrifying details in order to attract horror fans to the genre more.

A lot of killing fiction, obscure clues, elaborate planning, and brutal violence will also make people take enough interest in the whole movie. According to Lionsgate, "Even Chen Tian was scared, and those who like horror movies should never miss it." (To be continued......)
