Chapter 376: Chainsaw Released
Before the release of Chainsaw in the United States, Chainsaw on Hong Kong Island was the first to be released, and Lei Juewen was in the United States, so naturally there was no way to attend the premiere on Hong Kong Island, but on the morning of the film's release, he knew the box office on the night of the film's premiere.

The box office of the premiere of Saw on Hong Kong Island was 214,000 Hong Kong dollars, which is not a high box office. Chainsaw is a thriller, and it can have a box office of more than 200,000 Hong Kong dollars on the night of its premiere, and Lei Juewen is actually very satisfied, after all, because of cultural differences, comedy is more popular on Hong Kong Island. Even in Hollywood in the United States, thrillers are not mainstream films, and action, comedy and other films are mainstream films.
When the premiere box office comes out, Lei Juewen will naturally pay attention to the box office of Chainsaw on the next premiere day. Although the box office on the premiere day does not represent the results of a film, if nothing else, the box office on the premiere day represents the approximate box office results of the film.
538,000 Hong Kong dollars, this is the box office of Chainsaw on the opening day, Lei Juewen couldn't help but be very excited after receiving the box office of Chainsaw on the opening day, this box office is higher than the box office of the premiere day of the Legend of the Sparrow, and the box office results of Chainsaw on Hong Kong Island are worth looking forward to. Because of Lei Juewen's special order to be released for three more days, the Legend of the Sparrow Heroes has a box office of about 8.12 million Hong Kong dollars.
After the premiere day, in the next two days, Saw Horror received 542,000 Hong Kong dollars and 531,000 Hong Kong dollars respectively, judging from the box office of the three days alone, the results of Chainsaw Horror are very stable, if the box office for a week is above 500,000 Hong Kong dollars every day, Chainsaw Horror is likely to enter the level of 10 million Hong Kong dollars, but unfortunately the box office of 500,000 Hong Kong dollars per day is not so easy to maintain.
On the fourth day of Saw release on Hong Kong Island, it was the premiere of Saw in the United States and the traditional Halloween in the United States.
Lei Juewen has no power in the entertainment industry in the United States, and the media has invited five or six small and medium-sized media because of the need for publicity, but the large media have not invited them, because the price of inviting large media to attend the premiere is too high and it is not worth it.
In the era of paper media as a propaganda channel, there is a group of people whose achievements and influence cannot be ignored, and that is film critics. Film critics no longer have much influence in the era of the Internet, but in the era of national newspapers, the impact of film critics' evaluation of a film on the audience is still very high, and the audience usually chooses to watch the film according to the evaluation of film critics.
Lei Juewen and Moss Ayrt both know the influence of film critics, so when Saw Horror premieres, they naturally do not forget to invite professional film critics to come. Of course, big-name film critics are not invited, big-name film critics' appearance fees and a good review are expensive, often requiring five figures, and those who are not big-name film critics only need to spend a few thousand dollars, although it is also very high, but compared with big-name film critics, it is indeed a lot better.
In addition to a few reporters and film critics, the theater where the premiere is located is the members of the crew and some audience members who bought tickets to watch the film. Just as far as the screen where the premiere hall is located, the attendance rate here is 100%, but unfortunately it is the special situation here that will be like this, in other theaters, it will definitely not be 100% attendance, and if there is a 50% attendance rate, Lei Juewen will be able to snicker.
Today is Halloween, some people are playing with all kinds of monsters on the street, some people are looking for scary and thriller movies to watch in the movie theater, and some people may be nested at home, so the attendance rate of Saw Horror on the night of the premiere is already very high. In terms of fifty percent of the attendance, if the film satisfies the audience, it must be one ten, ten hundreds, so that the attendance rate will gradually increase, which is the so-called low opening and high walking.
"Ray . . . Juewen? That's right, it looks like an oriental name, could it be that the director of this film is an oriental? ”
After the film began to play, the last number that came out was the director's name, the name Lei Juewen can be said to be famous on Hong Kong Island, but in the United States it is a new newcomer who can't be newer, and they even heard this name for the first time.
"It's true that he should be an Oriental, but the film has begun, let's watch the movie." His friend replied.
"If I'm not satisfied with the film, I'll ask for a refund." The man muttered and watched the film. He thinks it's true that Orientals can't make good films, but the tickets have already been bought, so it's naturally impossible for him to go out without watching them.
The film begins with a blue flash wandering in the water, and if you look closely, you can tell that it is a key, but in a second or so, Adam Stanhalt's head rises from the water, the plug in the bathtub is removed, and the blue flash is pulled away with the current. This scene is very short, and if you are not a professional, if you just watch the film, most people will ignore the fact that the blue flash is a key.
Film critics are professionals, and after the first scene of the film, the critics start jotting down the phrase 'the key appears at the beginning, and then it is washed away by the current' in their notebooks, and if they can't even find it, then they are not qualified to eat this bowl of rice at all.
As the dialogue between the two protagonists unfolds, the plot slowly unfolds, and the jigsaw begins to appear in the eyes of the audience.
"Seems interesting!"
"It's really good!"
"Look good and don't disturb others by making a sound."
Lei Juewen sat in the front row of the movie theater, and after he heard the sound of Xingluo behind him, he laughed happily, seeing the big from the small, it seems that this film is still popular with American audiences, at least until now, no one has said that this film is not good.
The plot unfolded slowly, and soon it was the turn of two policemen to appear, Lei Juewen played the young policeman, he naturally appeared, but unfortunately he did not have the slightest fame in the United States, and the audience did not react at all to his appearance.
The length of the film is more than 90 minutes, which is the normal length of a film, and as time goes by, there will naturally be a time when it will be played.
During the broadcast of the film, Lei Juewen heard exclamations and admiration, which made him very happy, if nothing else, the film was a success, and the box office of the film should not be too bad. In terms of the cost of Chainsaw, if there is a box office of 10 million US dollars, this film can be regarded as profitable, after all, there are still peripheral products of the film to sell, especially in the case of videotapes.
