"Did you hear that? Recently, a movie made by Chinese won the Golden Lion Award, or is it a thriller, I can't fucking believe it? ”

In a dilapidated bar, the shocking music coming out of the stereo and the stripping queen on it stimulate people's eyes, what a mess! The white man had to raise his voice to make sure his companion at the table could hear him.

shook his head to the rhythm of the music, and said with contempt, "What good movie can Oriental people make, or a thriller, it won't be a movie that wears messy clothes and then uses a piece of yellow paper to defeat the so-called zombies jumping around, I really don't know that their head show is so funny, such a movie can still win awards, I really don't know that those juries are so bad." ”

The other blacks and whites laughed as if that was the funniest thing they had ever heard.

The white man shook his head and retorted, "It's not those Taoist movies, I heard my friend say, it's a serial murderer, it's terrifying, the suspense is very strong, he didn't sleep well for several days, and it was considered the most thrilling movie he had seen in more than ten years!" ”

Then he patted his head and said, "By the way, the name of the movie seems to be "Chainsaw", damn, as soon as I hear this name, I want to see what movie it is, I'm a fan of thrillers, I can't sit still thinking about it." ”

"There are a lot of horror scenes in the film, so don't watch it, I'm afraid of nightmares." The girl snuggled in the arms of a white man suddenly interjected.

"Shut up!" The white man hated his girlfriend interjecting in front of his friends, and this time he dared to contradict his opinion.

His girlfriend bowed her head uneasily, looking used to being treated like this.

"Guys! What do you think? Have you decided to watch this movie, you must know that the opportunity is rare! Whatever you guys do, I've decided to go see this movie today anyway! ”

Peer understanding agrees, "Why not?" It's been a long time since we've been frightened, and I'm looking forward to that feeling! ”

"Guys, what are you waiting for? go！ go！ The white man yelled excitedly, as if he had hit tens of millions.

“ok！ Guys, don't you feel like it's still early! You must know that such a movie is only enjoyable to watch at night, especially at night when you can't see your fingers, isn't it? A black man suddenly suggested.

"Don't go now, or it'll be too scary to watch at night!

His companions looked at him with contempt, but as if he did not exist, they very much agreed with the black man's suggestion, and went down again to enjoy the taste of wine!

Most of the theaters in the United States are located in small towns between cities, and in addition to huge parking lots, most of them are equipped with full commercial services. As long as a family drives to the theater, they can meet the leisure and entertainment of the whole day, which is not only convenient for themselves, but also stimulates consumption, why not?

In the United States, the "country on wheels", distance has been conquered by wheels. You don't see the cars on the streets, which can no longer stop the people who put entertainment first, and those theaters located in small towns are connected into a radiation network. Coupled with the highways extending in all directions, it is not worried about not attracting people. The box office of theaters in the vast non-urban areas of the United States has always been a number that cannot be underestimated, and more than 50% of the multiplex theaters in the Royal Gate Cinema Line are distributed in these small towns.

A group of shouting youths, startled countless birds, and drove to a small town. When they went to buy movie tickets, they found that "Saw Horror" was much more popular than they believed, and they arrived late, but they could only wait for the next one.

"Oh my God, so many tickets are out, I really don't know why they can't open two more screening halls?" The white man finished buying the ticket and complained angrily to his companion.

The companions were also stunned for a moment, they didn't expect why oriental movies were so popular, you must know that this is not a Bruce Lee film, so they had no choice but to wait for the next movie.

At the headquarters of the company, Bob Weinstein, the president of the company, listened to the report of his subordinates, and was surprised by the popularity of "Chainsaw". Although I know that this is a masterpiece, this is not the East after all, and cultural differences may make a movie useless, and I thought about it for a long time before I spoke.

"Next, all departments will mainly focus on this movie, so that the theater chain will increase the number of screenings of "Chainsaw", there is no reason why there is no reason not to make money. Go down and get busy, William, stay for a while! ”

Bob Weinstein took a deep breath, put on a pleasant face, turned to William, who was sitting on the sofa and drinking coffee, and said, "You are a great hero of the company!" If it weren't for your discernment, I believe there would be no current box office hit. ”

"Boss! You're so kind! It's all my business! ”

William didn't expect the president to let him stay, this is something he didn't dare to think of as a small employee before, but he didn't expect it to come true now, although he pretended to be calm, but the smile in his eyes had betrayed the joy in his heart.

"I didn't expect it, I really didn't expect that the North American weekly box office champion was actually a Hong Kong movie, since Bruce Lee's death, this is the first time such a situation has occurred?" Bob Weinstein had a look of remembrance on his face.

William thought of the wording, and then replied slowly: "Yes, when I signed this movie, I didn't have confidence, I didn't expect it to be so popular, it seems that Li Yihua had expected such a scene for a long time, so he insisted on selling this movie in the form of film sharing, even if he was responsible for film promotion!" This is the first time that "Saw" has appeared in the United States, and even when Bruce Lee kung fu movies were in their glory, they were not so popular. ”

Bruce Lee movies have cultivated a group of die-hard fans of kung fu movies in the United States, and "Chainsaw" seems to be more suitable for the appetite of American audiences, and its strong vitality exploded as soon as it was released.

"Popular?" Bob Weinstein shook his head with a wry smile, "The mainstream press in the United States is all critical, even if it has won the Golden Lion. Before it was released, I wasn't optimistic about this oriental film, but I didn't expect this film to be so successful, in my opinion, it's a miracle. ”

William nodded.

In fact, before the release of "Saw Horror", there were already scandals flying all over the sky, saying that the Venice Film Festival had an insider, Li Yihua bribed the jury judges, and the angry jury chairman slapped the table, which shows the benefits of xenophobia and local protectionism in the American market, no wonder it is difficult for Chinese blockbusters in later generations to open the international market.
