Chapter 351: Chainsaw

It's not the same to have a local to help, but in three days, Moss Ayrte promoted the film that Lei Juewen was going to shoot, and on the day of the audition, there were also a lot of actors. There are not many www.biquge.info in the pen "Fun", because it is a low-cost film, all the actors who come are not famous, and famous actors will not come at all.

The film that Lei Juewen wants to shoot is called Chainsaw Horror, which was originally supposed to be released in 2004 and was filmed by Lei Juewen.

In 2004, the cost of the film was only $1.2 million, but the North American box office was $55 million, and the global box office was more than $100 million. In addition to the box office, the videotape of the film also sold very well, not losing much at the box office.

Chainsaw tells the story of John Kramer, a civil engineer with a successful career and a happy family, who has gained a "new perspective" of life and a disillusionment with the world since he suffered from cancer and failed to commit suicide. He is not aiming to take human life, but to teach his compatriots to value life and stimulate their desire to survive. Of course, this is John Kramer's idea, and the person who is targeted by John Kramer naturally does not think so.

When young Adam awoke from his coma, he found himself locked in a dilapidated basement, and not far from him, another overwhelmed man, Dr. Lawrence, was locked up. On the floor between the two of them was a man who had been dead for a long time, covered in blood and holding a pistol of 38 calibre. Neither Adam nor Lawrence knew exactly how they got to this place, and after their efforts, they found something in the basement such as a tape recorder and a cassette tape, which ordered Lawrence to kill Adam within eight hours, or both would die, as well as Lawrence's wife, Alison, and daughter. ”

At this time, the two suddenly understood. They recall the murder that Detective Tep at the local police station is investigating recently, and the two realize that they have become the playthings of a psychopathic murderer nicknamed "Saw" and will soon be the next victim to be killed, with only a few hours left before they must overcome their fears and figure out the elaborate trap. The murderer left only a few clues, as well as two inconspicuous handsaws left on the floor. A handsaw cannot cut through iron cuffs, but it is enough to cut a person's flesh and bones. ”

There are many sequels to the movie Chainsaw, which shows that this film is very popular and very profitable, otherwise there would not be so many sequels, after all, no matter how much fans like this movie and how much they hope that a sequel can appear, if the film can't bring benefits, the producers will never shoot a sequel, they are not philanthropists.

In this era, in this era when thriller genre novels are prevalent, Chainsaw Horror is likely to be popular, and it is possible that it will be more popular than in the future, Lei Juewen is willing to give it a try, but it really can't work, and the loss is one or two million dollars.

The film loses money, but the film company will not receive many films, and when the capital is sufficient, Lei Juewen can shoot Raiders of the Lost Ark again, shoot this film, and definitely make money, the only problem is to make more and make less.

In the Firefly interview room, Lei Juewen, Zhang Bingqian, Moss Aert, plus a staff member from the Screen Actors Guild Keith Nobes, the four of them interviewed the actors who came to audition in the interview room, of which Keith Nobes only came as a supervisor and had no right to express his opinion on the audition results.

The Screen Actors Guild sent Keith Nobes over to supervise the auditions, so as not to let the shady nature of surname trading happen during the auditions, and if it was a role that was decided in private, the Screen Actors Guild would naturally not interfere, but in a situation like this, when the actors from the Screen Actors Guild were invited to come for an audition, the Screen Actors Guild would send staff to supervise the audition.

Zhang Bingqian plays the role of Amanda Yang in the original script, this role has more scenes among female characters, and it is easy to leave an impression, unlike the role of the female detective, who only appears in a few scenes, and it can't make an impression at all, almost the same as running a show.

Lei Juewen also played a role in Saw Horror, he played Officer Taip's partner, that is, the young police officer, this role was originally played by Asian, and it was no problem to change it to him.

Excluding the two roles of Amanda Young and Officer Tepp, the roles to be interviewed are private investigator Adam Stanheadt, doctor Lawrence Gordon, police detective David Tep, the doctor's wife Alison, the doctor's daughter, the medical staff Zap, and jigsaw John Kramer.

Among them, the role of jigsaw John Kramer can only be regarded as a trick in Chainsaw, but this role will appear later, and Lei Juewen has to consider the sequel, so he has to find an actor with some acting skills and sign a contract.

The acting skills required for several roles don't need to be very skillful, and it is not difficult to find relevant actors, only the role of the doctor's daughter is more difficult to find a suitable role, and children are difficult in movie shooting.

Because of the relationship between the actor's acting skills and is not harsh, in about two hours, Lei Juewen determined the relevant roles, except for the doctor's daughter, as for the dragon set, when the time comes, go directly to the actors' union to pull people, it's really not good, just let the crew staff go to the top and give a red envelope, it's too easy to find.

Lei Juewen didn't bother with finding the actor who played the role of the doctor's daughter before starting filming, there are not many scenes in this role, you can look for it while shooting, if you really want to find this role and shoot again, then he is a fool.

The salaries of several main characters add up to only a hundred thousand dollars, plus the salaries of the staff and the cost of film, it will definitely not exceed 400,000 dollars. The original cost of $1.2 million in 2004 was only one-third more than 20 years ago, and this is the difference in prices.

The relevant actors are found, and the audition is naturally over.

Lei Juewen asked Moss Airt to prepare the crew, and he went to the main filming location to investigate and make sure that the location he found was what he needed, don't wait until the filming time to find out that the location does not match, and the unjust money will be spent.
