Chapter 160. 【The Most Perfect Tyrant】
It is said that Yi Feiyang was surrounded by a large group of reporters and wanted to interview him.
"May I ask Director Yi, what was your original intention for filming this drama? Is it just to praise the torture and murder in the movie? A reporter asked.
"Torture? Man, it looks like you don't understand much of this play, yes, where were you sitting just now? ”
"This ...... Because I had diarrhea, I went to see you after washing, and when I came back, I was almost done. ”
Haha, the person next to him laughed.
"Then man, I can tell you responsibly that this play is not about torture and killing, on the contrary, it is about redemption! Yes, the salvation of life! I don't know if you've heard that sentence, if you want to be reborn, you must destroy the old body! ”
"So may I ask Yi, why is the film such an ending? Are you still planning to make a sequel? Another reporter took the opportunity to ask.
The corners of Yi Feiyang's mouth curled, these reporters looked sensitive, they all guessed this, so they smiled and said: "Yes, you are right, I plan to make a series of "Chainsaw", not just one. Because I still have a lot of stories to tell, and there are still some things I want to express that I haven't expressed. Whether you call me too greedy, or say I'm too ambitious, I'll announce to you now that this "Saw Horror" will become more and more exciting and terrifying! It's still the same sentence, don't get into it if you're timid, if you have the guts, you just keep reading! ”
All reporters were shocked by Yi Feiyang's tone, what is full of confidence, what is domineering exposure, this is!
Then someone asked, "May I ask my dear Yi." Did you come up with all the killing props in this play? Where do you get your inspiration from? How can you come up with so many sadistic things? Oh, God. We were all scared! ”
"Huh. To be honest, the inspiration for these killing props was strange, some of them from the novels of my favorite author, Edgar Allan Poe, like The Trap and the Pendulum, and the Masquerade of the Red Dead, and some of the inspiration from my dreams...... Yes, I had constant nightmares before creating this play. In the dream, he was tortured by all kinds of cruel and terrible mechanisms, just like the protagonist in this play, suffering from pain......" Yi Feiyang's expression looked very strange and heavy.
And his answer is undoubtedly on the right point of the "wind ~ coquettishness" of various reporters.
You know, North American journalists are most interested not in what kind of shit famous books you read to get inspiration, nor do they want you to eat a hamburger and be inspired, but they want your inspiration to be a little gray and darker. A little supernatural, it is better to be able to achieve inspiration. The more impossible, the better. There was no doubt that Yi Feiyang's answer was right to their appetite.
However, those reporters still slyly provoked: "Yi, from the very beginning, your drama was full of too much blood and violence, yes, we were all terrified when we saw it, and some of our partners were even so disgusted that they were about to vomit, do you have anything to explain about this?" ”
"This question is a good question, I guess many people who have watched this drama will have an intuitive feeling now: this drama is too bloody! Bloodier than Bloody Mary! That's right, that's what I want! I don't say this to disclaim that I haven't done anything wrong, but to tell everyone that this is a horror movie, a horror movie that challenges your mental and physical limits! It's not the kind of comedy that hip-hop and hip-hop, nor the kind of warm and lingering love movie, but a movie that will make you creepy and can't sleep at night! Some people say that cinema is an art, so the art I created tonight belongs to the art of horror! Death and blood are its eternal themes! ”
"Of course, these horrific images and camera designs are fake, just a mix of ketchup and some paint that you don't expect. The fact that we can fool you now proves that our makeup artists and prop masters are very skillful! I'm going to re-examine it later, I personally don't advocate movies using blood, violence, and pornography to attract audiences, but sometimes the storyline and integrity of the movie require a certain level of gore, so I put the words "forbidden for minors to watch". Some people think that I am grandstanding, but they don't understand the role of movies, and making movies that affect the growth of teenagers not only affects their values, but also can ruin a person's future because a movie can ruin one's future. I would rather let them sensationalize for a while, not to make money, there is no bottom line. Here, I call on all filmmakers to be responsible for the films they make, for the audiences who watch them, and the movie-level restrictions must be automatically implemented and implemented to the end! ”
Just when everyone was pondering, Lionsgate's Gusta suddenly took the lead in applauding, and everyone also woke up, yes, Yi Feiyang claimed that this drama had not been cut before, and he was unwilling to exchange the castrated version for more audiences, and it is estimated that he had already made up his mind at that time that this drama would never be open to minors.
It is absolutely rare for a filmmaker to be able to give up the temptation of more box office and focus on his own field!
Gusta is the owner of Lionsgate, as he started out as a thriller and horror film, and he has passed through many such films in his hands, but in order to maximize the box office profits, he has not used the means of editing to fool those in the film association, from low to high, in order to increase the number of moviegoers.
At this moment, when he heard Yi Feiyang's sincere words, he suddenly felt that he was very dirty, yes, it was a little dirty, at least, his mind was all in the eyes of money.
The applause fell, and the reporters still did not give up.
"Yi, you re-use the old drama bone Max in this play, what do you think of his performance?"
"Hehe, it's up to him to answer it himself, Max, how much do you rate yourself?" Yi Feiyang turned around and asked Max.
Max might as well throw this question to himself and grinned: "If it is ten, it should be 9 points, yes, the other 1 point will be handed over to the audience to evaluate!" ”
Old Max said very politely.
Everyone was amused by him.
"Mr. Max, do you think you're going to become popular again with this play?" A reporter asked.
Old Max seemed to be mentally prepared, and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter if it's red or not, the most important thing is that I have lived for myself!" How to say it, when I thought I was going to die in obscurity at the grocery store, I met Yi, and it was he who gave me this opportunity, and now, I want to say, thank you, Yi! ”
"Hehe, you've already said these words of thanks!" Yi Feiyang patted him on the shoulder.
"Mr. Max, if you really have to become popular with the character of 'Jigsaw' this time, what is the first thing you have to do?"
"First things first? Well, I'm going to buy a bottle of '82 Lafite and drink it all in one go! God, I haven't drunk such good wine in years! ”
"Is that all? A good bottle of wine? ”
"Of course not, besides that, I want my old father to look at me again, his son has not fallen down, and now he is finally on the stage again! Yes, I stood up! Old Max's voice was choked.
An old man who is very sensual, and all the reporters are moved by his true temperament.
Seeing that the old Max could no longer continue to be interviewed, those reporters once again pointed the finger at Yi Feiyang.
"So easy, what do you think about the other actors, will the sequel to "Chainsaw" continue to use them?" The reporter pressed at him.
"They are all good actors, of course, some of them are still relatively jerky, but in my opinion, they will slowly improve, so I hope they can arrange a schedule for me, and I will still look for them in the next play!"
"Director, we will continue to support you!"
"Director, we love you!"
……
The actors shouted.
The reporters didn't expect Yi Feiyang to be so popular, and they were a little surprised, but they quickly turned their attention to these people and asked, "What kind of person is Mr. Yi in your hearts?" What do you think of the play he directed? Did he lose his temper often during filming? Is it true that he is called a tyrant on the set? ”
Faced with this series of questions, those actors expressed their opinions one after another.
"In our minds, he is the best director! The scenes he shot are absolutely masterful! As for his tantrums, hehe, which director doesn't lose his temper during filming? If you don't lose your temper, you won't be able to control the field! As for him being called a tyrant on the set, we think that's a compliment to him! Yes, it's a compliment! Because tyrants represent power and authority! If he is a tyrant, then he is the most perfect tyrant in the minds of our big guys! ”
The most perfect tyrant!
At that moment, all the reporters were touched by this sentence, just ask, what kind of director can get such a respectful title? !
……
The premiere of "Saw Horror" can be said to be very successful, at least Yi Feiyang, who was surrounded by fans and audiences in turn, realized what it means to be "afraid of being famous and pigs afraid of being strong".
However, he, the "little fat pig" who is soaring in the horror world, was not so lucky to be able to wash up and sleep after the premiere, but was dragged by old Max and a group of crew members to celebrate the carnival.
That night, the big guys drank a lot of wine, and they drank and sang songs like slaughtering pigs and sheep, but they were still elated, and they sang hoarsely but still in high spirits.
So much so that at the end of the day, everyone left the bar drunk en masse, and then ran barefoot on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
Yi Feiyang threw away his coat, and when he was drunk, he raised his arms and shouted......
Not far away, Hathaway, who had been with him all the time, looked at him so gently, watched him get drunk, watched him go crazy, looked at this man who frightened all the audience, at this moment, he was so self-indulgent......
Where did Yi Feiyang know that there would be someone who cared about him so silently, he took advantage of the drunkenness and sang loudly:
I gave wings to my dreams
Let it go towards that dreamy paradise
soar
I gave wings to my ideals
Let it face the vast prairie
Unrestrained
I gave wings to the future
Let it move towards that boundless miracle
Publicity...... (To be continued......)
