Chapter 508: The Battlefield Shifts to North America

I have to say that Smith has a very strong confidence in "Chainsaw", and on the night of finalizing the cooperation, it began to operate, which is not the same as "Journey to the West", this horror movie, many of Sahaya's high-level feel that this film is very likely to make them Sahaya make a lot of money.

It is precisely because of this that in addition to his own theaters, Smith has also finalized cooperation with other theaters, and finally, "Chainsaw" was scheduled to be screened on July 29 after being reviewed in the United States on the same day.

The theaters where "Chainsaw" was screened directly reached 1,000, and the news spread to Huaxia, and there was an uproar!

Since July 15th, "Chainsaw" began to be released, and in ten days of release, the box office of "Chainsaw" has reached 7 million, and the box office has almost shown a downward trend, so that Guo Ming and others have criticized it on WeChat, and Zhao Ze chose to go to North America for the release, which was also regarded as a joke by many people.

However, it is such a movie, which failed miserably at the box office in China, is such a movie, which has been criticized by Guo Ming and others, has won 1,000 theaters in North America, almost refreshing the records of countless Chinese films.

"Released in North America, "Fantasy Journey to the West" used to be 560 theaters, however, 1,000 theaters, unless it is a Hollywood blockbuster, it is difficult for a movie to be screened in so many theaters, I have to say that "Chainsaw" may really kill a miracle road in North America."

"Could it be that "Saw Horror" is going to have a strong rebound in North America? The horror movie market in North America has always been huge. And Pinxuan Entertainment was at the beginning of filming. I once said it. Relying on this movie, if you want to open up the North American market, it seems that it is half the battle. ”

"This is the honor of our Chinese films, not to mention the box office of "Chainsaw" released in North America at the box office, only on the day of its premiere, the number of movie theaters reached 1,000, which is already an improvement."

The media at this time. is even more exaggerated, and I can't wait to give all the honor to "Chainsaw", after all, most of the media, although "Chainsaw" failed miserably at the box office in China, they have always affirmed it before.

Today, in North America, "Chainsaw" has won such honors, this is Zhao Ze's movie. The only time I didn't slap the media in the face, Yanjing Entertainment. Mainstream media such as Movie Daily, Entertainment Frontline, and Donghai Entertainment also gave up the news headlines to "Chainsaw".

Guo Ming, and many other filmmakers who fiercely criticized "Saw Horror" and gloated about the movie in North America, at this time, their faces were slightly slapped, but on WeChat, Guo Ming still wrote toughly-

"Maybe such a movie is suitable for release in North America, but such a movie, even if it gets 1,000 theaters in North America, it will be defeated at the box office, and the movie should not be judged by the box office of the movie, "Chainsaw" is not suitable for the Chinese market at all, and as for Zhao Ze's subsequent "33 Days of Broken Love" or "Kung Fu" two movies, they will definitely fail miserably, not because of anything else, just because of the screenwriters of these two movies, Bao Jing and Yu Zheng."

I have to say that Guo Ming has no good feelings for Bao Jing and Yu Zheng, and he has a deep resentment, and when he criticized "Chainsaw", he did not forget to criticize these two people.

However, brainless screenwriters like Guo Ming are a minority after all, and some screenwriters in Huaxia, or directors and investors, at this time, really look at North America, and they are very curious about whether "Chainsaw" can win at the box office.

If it really wins, then, for them, it can also be used as a reference, after all, Chinese horror movies have always been wiped out in North America!

Zhao Ze and others did not pay too much attention to the sensation caused in China, and when he learned that this time "Chainsaw" was screened in 1,000 theaters, he was also quite happy and excited.

After determining the release time, the vigorous publicity also began, Smith followed Zhao Ze's construction, first on the Internet, and carried out a lot of publicity, however, the plot did not follow Huaxia's online propaganda routine, almost "Chainsaw" just been promoted, Charm Times Pictures pointed out that this movie is simply plagiarism.

"This "Chainsaw Horror" is completely plagiarized from the idea of our upcoming "Texas Chainsaw Massacre", Chinese people have always been known for plagiarism, bloody, violent, terrifying, such propaganda means are almost our propaganda ideas."

The era of Charm Pictures is about to be released on July 28, "Texas Chainsaw Massacre", and this movie is based on the true deeds of the serial killer EdGein in the 50s, so for this movie, the era of Charm Pictures, last month, has been promoted.

The chainsaw murder in Texas, due to the events at that time, was in an uproar, therefore, in the era of Charm Pictures, it was almost not too difficult to promote this movie, which made many horror secrets look forward to it.

At this time, "Chainsaw" suddenly came out, and before Sahaya could promote it, just after it was announced, it attracted a lot of attention, and this kind of attention was obviously not what Smith wanted.

"Haha, Huaxia is really poor in donkey skills, it should be called poor in donkey skills, they even want to plagiarize our horror movies, but there is progress, but unfortunately, the movies they make have always been rubbish, this horror movie, I'm afraid, will be just a reason."

"Shameless, I've always heard that many movies in China are mainly plagiarized, originally, I didn't believe it, but now I believe it!"

"Blood, violence, chainsaw killing, God, how is this different from the propaganda of the Texas Chainsaw Massacre?"

On the Internet, after the promotion of "Saw Horror" just now, it was seized by the era of Glamorous Pictures. There was a fierce slam. And some of the many viewers who have not seen the trailer of "Chainsaw". It's also a criticism.

However, this kind of criticism did not last long, and the trailer of "Chainsaw" came out, especially at the end of the final trailer, it was written that this is a movie for the brave. 'Don't get in for the cowards', which stimulated the curiosity of the audience.

Bloody!

The heart-rending roar, everyone can see it, although this movie is also about 'chainsaw' killing, but, it seems, it should be a little different!

As soon as several promotional videos came out, it aroused some people's expectations for this movie!

"This old thing, it's just disgusting!"

Smith reads the news on the Internet. Said a little angrily.

"We've worked so hard to do the online publicity, and the results are now. On the contrary, half of the publicity was robbed by the era of Glamorous Pictures, Zhao, now you know how hateful this old thing is! ”

Smith shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly towards Zhao Ze.

Zhao Ze also admired the Cobelette who he had never met, and he could make Smith so obsessed and hateful, how could he be a general, when "Journey to the West" and "Fantasy Journey to the West" fought, "Fantasy Journey to the West" was used to promote, and now, this time it is even worse.

directly insisting that "Chainsaw" is plagiarism, so that no matter how "Chainsaw" is promoted, it is the same as promoting "Texas Chainsaw Massacre"!

"Smith, don't worry, these two movies are definitely different types of movies, and when the time comes, the movie will be released, and it will be clear at a glance."

Zhao Ze persuaded Smith.

"Also, haha, we still have a killer feature that hasn't moved, let's get proud of that old guy first, but, Zhao, this movie of "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" is also a huge investment and publicity in the era of charm, and, it is said, this movie can be said to be bloody and violent to the extreme."

Smith nodded lightly, then said.

The original 1974 version of "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" shocked and shuddered all audiences, and the story of the film was inspired by a series of real events, and many hailed the film as a milestone for the greatest thriller and horror film.

In the decades since the release of the original "Texas Chainsaw Massacre", there have been 3 sequels released one after another, which were published in 1986 by Dennis Saw. Hopper starred in "Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2", 1990 by Viggo. Mortenson's "Texas Chainsaw Massacre 3" and the 1994 film starring Matthew Saw. McConaughey and Renee. Zellweger co-starring in "Texas Chainsaw Massacre 4"

And the blockbuster investment of the Charm Era, Zhao Ze has just gotten it from Smith, it is a remake of the original 1974 version, it can be said that this movie is nothing more than a few young people driving an RV into the desert of Travis, Texas. Thus the chainsaw killings were just a matter of killings.

It can be said that "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" and "Chainsaw" are completely different stories, and it is precisely because of this that Zhao Ze will have quite strong self-confidence, even if everyone doubts it now, it will be clear at a glance after it is released.

One is a story about the murder of mental illness, but the other is a jigsaw for his own truth, which is ethical and reasonable, and analyzes human nature very thoroughly, and even kills people through guò real yàn.

In the next few days, two movies with the theme of "chainsaw" also attracted major media reports in Hollywood.

The headline on the front page of the Hollywood Entertainment Newspaper: "Two horror movies, who is more powerful in the 'chainsaw' of the East and the West?" ”

Under the headline, it was written: "The two movies "Chainsaw" and "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" are being promoted at the same time, death, blood, all of them are killing people with chainsaws, the difference is that these two movies, "Chainsaw" is a Chinese movie, a horror movie feast of the East and the West, let's wait and see." ”

The New York Times also focused on reporting: "'Chainsaw' kills people to reappear in the world"

"I believe that the 1974 "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" is still a little scary when everyone thinks about it, and this time, in addition to the remake of the glamorous era, another "Chainsaw", a movie from China, will also be listed in Hollywood, two movies, it is possible that there will be a fight in August, let's take a look, who will be more powerful in these two movies."

If the reports of these two major newspapers are more neutral, then some of the other reports are completely disdainful!

The "Wall Street Journal" special film critic directly expressed his disdain for "Chainsaw": "Chinese horror movies, so to speak, are not like horror movies at all, sometimes in my opinion, they are so naïve, and except for horror movies, other movies can't attract us, it is precisely because of this that this time, "Chainsaw" wants to achieve success through its name, but it can only be said that the idea is too naïve." ”

""Chainsaw Horror" is a Chinese movie, in my opinion, this movie is bound to fail miserably at the box office, if you ask me why, it's because this is a movie produced by Huaxia!"

"This kind of topic is simply too boring, or rather, there is no comparison at all, and "Saw Horror" will lose very badly!"

In the newspaper, on the Internet, there was also a crazy and fierce discussion about the two movies "Chainsaw Horror" and "Texas Chainsaw Massacre", and in the face of the Internet or the media, when it was reported, Hugh said that it was Zhao Ze, that is, Zhou Jie, Li Hu and others also gritted their teeth with hatred.

"What's there to do, sooner or later, we must seize your market!"

""Saw Horror" will definitely be a success, and when the time comes, I will see if you people can still have a face when the time comes."

"I'll pull some more people, what's wrong with us Chinese? This is simply discrimination, hmph, I must support "Saw Horror"! ”

……

This kind of discrimination has made some Chinese people ready to support "Chainsaw", and as for this movie, it was not surprising to Zhao Ze and others, and was directly rated NC17 by the American Film Association.

As in Huaxia, Smith is also built yì, Zhao Ze can be edited and reached an R rating, which can increase the box office, but Zhao Ze still refused, "Chainsaw" has not been edited in Huaxia, and it is even more impossible to edit in the United States.

When Sahaya announced it to the public, it also caused an uproar among the media, and at this time, Sahaya directly and officially published Zhao Ze's original words-

"Huaxia "Chainsaw" has not been cut, then, in North America, I will not change, this is a film that can stimulate you, and this movie is not made for children, hehe, cowards, please don't watch it, don't be timid, if you are really afraid, there is no need to watch it, I won't blame you."

Sahaya's statement about Zhao Ze was like a bomb, and the four sides reacted differently. (To be continued......)
