Someone is stunned by a horror movie, and there may be many factors, such as the body is not very good, if it is another film, it may not be a good thing to make the audience faint, but a horror film scares people to faint, doesn't this just show the horror of the film? At least that's not a bad thing.

Murphy's head was spinning rapidly, "Do you still have an impression of the stunned person?" ”

"What do you want to do?" Kara Firth over there was immediately alarmed.

Walking back and forth for two steps, Murphy said into his phone, "I'll talk to Fox Searchlight to see if I can find a media interview with you, and you can describe the scene at that time......"

"And then a few words of praise for you?" Kara Firth had a hint of mockery in her voice, "Is that so?" ”

Murphy didn't need to hide it, "Don't you think it's a good gimmick?" The cost of marketing the film is limited. ”

There was silence for a second, and Kara Fez's voice sounded again, "The person who was stunned is a professor at Columbia University, you contact the media to call me, and I will help you test whether he is willing to be interviewed." ”

"I won't say thank you." Murphy laughed.

Hanging up the phone, he stood in the courtyard, looking up at the sky, "Chainsaw" has been pushed into theaters, whether it succeeds or fails, it depends on this weekend.

Picking up the phone, Murphy dialed Tony Guzman's number again, and mentioned the idea to the other party just now, about $260,000 in publicity expenses have not been spent, or maybe the number counted by Fox searchlights is very good, Tony Guzman said that he would communicate with the above about this.

Near noon, Tony Guzmán walked into the office of his top boss Godin Clyde, and things went a little unexpectedly, after he finished speaking, Godin Clyde only thought for half a minute, and then called the marketing department and the public relations department, asking to contact the media under Fox to interview the stunned viewer.

"Oh, and there's." As he was about to leave, Tony Guzman added, "Murphy Stanton wants the company to pass on to him a copy of the latest stats on Saw Horror." ”

This was agreed upon when the two parties signed the contract, Godin Clyde nodded, took out a copy of the text from a box on the right hand, and handed it to Tony Guzman, "This is what I just received, the attendance statistics of the 30 theaters on demand this morning. ”

He waved his hand, and Tony Guzmán took the text and left, walked into the secretary room next to it, and went directly to the fax machine, and he opened it to look at it before sending the fax.

It's already noon Western time, and all the theaters that showed "Chainsaw" have finished their morning screenings, and the number of people counted by the computer network has also arrived here for the first time.

A total of 60 performances of "Saw" were screened in 30 theaters, with a total audience of 1,500 people.

I see! Tony Guzmán suddenly realized, no wonder Godin Clyde agreed so easily, it turned out that the attendance in the morning was very good.

With an average of over 20 people per screening, it looks so-so-so, but Tony Guzmán won't forget it's Friday morning!

If calculated according to the average ticket price of $6, the North American box office of "Saw Horror" has reached $9,000, and the box office of a single theater has reached $300.

Afternoon and evening attendance will definitely increase significantly, which is the inevitable law of the market, and there will be more screenings, the box office of a single theater on the first day may be able to break through $3,000, as long as the film's reputation is guaranteed, the box office on Saturday may increase again, so that the box office of a single theater on the first weekend is very likely to break the dollar mark.

In the coming week, "Saw Horror" will definitely increase the scale of screenings significantly......

The next thing to look at is the word-of-mouth of the film, like this to publicize a project with limited investment, word-of-mouth word-of-mouth is very important!

Since there are only 30 theaters showing it, Fox Searchlight also found a research and consulting company to do statistics at the screening site, and the audience's word-of-mouth cannot be truly reflected in the media, and the film critics are sometimes separated by 108,000 miles.

Fox Searchlight did not specifically invite professional film critics to participate in the screening, and it is basically impossible for a plasma horror film to get praise from these guys, let alone measure the market response by their opinions, which can only get wrong judgments, and the opinions of fans watching the movie will be more important.

There are companies in North America that specialize in scoring for the market, but Fox Searchlight can't expect this kind of big company to focus on small-scale screenings.

There are a lot of small productions like this in North America, most of which are three-day theatrical tours, who will pay attention to them?

And it doesn't cost much to hire a research consulting firm to do a little bit of fieldwork, and the Fox Searchlight is completely affordable, which is also the planned budget.

The screenings are definitely mainly in large cities.

At the door of a theater on Long Island, New York, a fan recalled the plot of the movie he had just watched, "yes, I watched "Chainsaw", and it scared me to death!" ”

He patted his chest gently, as if he was still a little afraid, "Such a good horror movie, I haven't seen it for a few years, I'm going to bring my brother over tomorrow to watch it, he has always been timid, maybe he will be scared and can't sleep." ”

With a mischievous laugh and a few words of praise, he left the theater.

In an independent theater in Venice, Los Angeles, a black man was stopped when he walked out of the theater, and when he heard the question about "Chainsaw", he opened his mouth and showed two rows of white teeth, "I don't think it's too scary, those killing devices are so cool!" And the final ending, the ending set by the director is too unexpected! ”

A few people passed by, and they were also talking about the movie.

"What are the directors and screenwriters called? Oh, by the way, it's Murphy Stanton, this guy is so despicable, isn't this ending a joke? ”

"Cut!" Another person was dismissive of this statement, "Is this a trick?" Obviously the director is cleverly conceived, don't you think Murphy Stanton's film got rid of Hollywood clichés? ”

"That's it! It is! The person next to him chimed in, "With such a novel movie to watch, I am willing to be shabu every day!" ”

"This director is obviously talented and has ideas, don't attack people with your ignorance......"

A chaotic commotion faded away with the footsteps.

After watching the movie and having lunch outside, Daisy returned home, poured a glass of water and sat down to rest for a while, and came to the computer.

Since "Hard Candy", she has thought that the director named Murphy Stanton is very interesting, although this "Chainsaw" is a bit bloody and does not fully meet her appetite, but the suspense and plot structure in it are really excellent, especially the scene where the old man stood up at the end and everyone in the theater was stunned, which is still fresh in my memory.

It's easy to win applause, but how many directors can make the audience stunned?

Turned on and connected to the Internet, Daisy skillfully opened IMDB, and after a simple search, she found Murphy Stanton's section, after the release of "Hard Candy", the other party already had his own IMDB number, but his exclusive section was deserted, except for a few sentences introducing the director's personal information and the name of the film "Hard Candy" and the IMDB link, there was nothing else at all.

However, this time Daisy found a difference, not only did he add "Saw Horror" to his works, but there were also a few people who left messages in the discussion group.

"It's so deserted, am I the first to leave a message? It seems so, who is the director of Murphy Stanton? Why doesn't IMDB even have a personal picture on it? It's mysterious, right? But I like this director's work, I wanted to sleep after watching the movie in the morning, but I was so scared that I couldn't sleep, I was afraid that if I fell asleep, I would be captured by the pervert Murphy Stanton and play those horrible games. Well, also, can someone add a picture of him? ”

It was a message around 12 noon, and at 12:20, someone broke in again.

"I'm #@#!"

A string of expletives, blocked by the website, this one seems to be very hot and wants to find a place to vent, "Where is that perverted director named Murphy Stanton?" Why did he make this film so horrible that it scared my girlfriend to tears, and she is still crying! I'm! ”

The first person to leave a message replied later, "It's so scary that you don't want to watch it, isn't this torture." ”

The man replied, "My eyes really can't leave the screen, I was scared to cry when I saw her, and told her to close her eyes, or leave the stage early, but she didn't agree to anything, and watched while crying!" My body is shaking all the time! Well, I'll admit I don't want to go either! It's all to blame on that damn Murphy Stanton, why make a horror movie so good? People are reluctant to go, reluctant to close their eyes, blame him! ”

The person who left the previous message was directly speechless, "uh......"

Further down, someone left a message, "This film is really scary, quite scary, it is a rare masterpiece in horror films in recent years, I think the most unexpected thing is not the ending of the film, but such a masterpiece is actually from an unknown director." ”

That's all the comments, Daisy read them quickly, and although there were messages, there was still a lack of attention in general.

She pulled the page up, and the avatar next to Murphy Stanton's name was still blank, what does this director look like? Was it a fat guy like Hitchcock? Is it a kind old man like Spielberg? Or a kinky guy like a jigsaw?

After watching "Hard Candy" and "Chainsaw" in a row, Daisy really wants to know what such a perverted director full of whimsy looks like.

It's a pity that this guy's reputation is still too small.

She clicked on the Saw link below Murphy Stanton, and the page flipped, and a rating page appeared in front of her. (To be continued)).
