Chapter 199. ["Chainsaw 2" swept North America]

Hollywood has a long history of discrimination against Chinese, although Yi Feiyang is talented, but the more he stands out, the more envied and discriminated against......

Therefore, during the upcoming Halloween movie in November, the CEO of Universal mentioned Yi Feiyang, who was in the limelight, in an interview with media reporters, and said: "God, why do so many people like to praise this Chinese now?" Yes, China Yi does have some small talents, and his achievements are obvious to all, but in our opinion, it is just luck! Yes, it's luck! If he loses the favor of Lady Luck for him, then I believe that he will fall from a tree branch like a rooster with wet wings! ”

"I would like to add that the open feathers of a rooster are beautiful, but a rooster is a rooster, and it will never become a swan!"

Coincidentally, the president of Warner was also asked this question in an interview with the media, "What do you think of China's recent popularity?" ”

Warner's boss pondered for a while and said: "I don't want to belittle anyone, but China Yi's continuous popularity can only show that he has a good opportunity, he has a selling point in filming, and the TV show is in the audience's hands!" Yes, that's it! If he really makes a big name, it will be difficult! One more point, opportunity will not always favor him, everyone has bad luck! ”

……

In this situation where Dream Pictures is not favored, the sequel "Chainsaw 2", directed by rookie director James Wing and starring the original cast of "Chainsaw", was finally released on November 10 after some editing.

As the boss, Yi Feiyang once again broke the tradition. The so-called test screenings were not prepared at all. directly let its theaters release this drama.

According to his meaning. Since Dream Pictures wants to play its own signboard, it is necessary for all North American audiences to establish a concept: Dream Pictures' plays, even if they are not test-screened, are definitely good shows!

This concept is somewhat similar to that of Hong Kong's Shaw Brothers when they dominated Hong Kong: Shaw Brothers products must be good products!

What's more, this drama was written and produced by Yi Feiyang himself, even if James Wing is just a fledgling new director, not a super director or a famous director, just by virtue of the reputation of the play "Chainsaw 1". and his Yi Feiyang's reputation now in the sky, he will definitely be able to kill the Quartet.

Sure enough.

Under the influence of Yi Feiyang's hot popularity, the publicity of "Chainsaw 2" has become redundant, and the majority of fans have been looking forward to everything that Yi Feiyang is involved in, not to mention that although this drama was not filmed by Yi Feiyang himself, he personally supervised the production, and the title of Yi Feiyang's "Hollywood talent" alone has aroused great public interest. Therefore, when "Saw 2" was released in major theaters under Dream on the first day. It has reached a hard-to-find popularity. James Win's directing skills, as well as the performance of the original cast in the sequel in the movie, did not disappoint many American audiences who bought tickets.

I like suspense films. You can enjoy a series of thrilling suspense designs in this play; If you like thrillers, you can see all kinds of bloody thriller scenes in this play after various killing mechanisms are activated; likes action movies, the life-and-death struggle of its own actors in the play, and the occasional inadvertent shootout or two; And if you like detective films, not to mention, the biggest advantage of this drama itself is to use the method of detective novels to substitute you into it, which is fascinating. In short, no matter who is watching, they get great satisfaction from this film.

For the majority of horror fans, the design of the killing mechanism in this movie is particularly chilling and refreshing, all kinds of mechanisms only have what you can't think of, and there is nothing you can't see...... The song evolves into a hellish requiem, the scene becomes a hellish slaughterhouse, and almost every picture, every note, shakes the audience's nerves. Especially when the most embarrassing actor "Jigsaw" appeared in a pool of blood again, the music sounded in time, and the entire movie theater suddenly screamed, and the sensitive audience was completely frightened by this play, substituted themselves into this play, and screamed loudly.

Looking back at the drama "Saw 2" itself, compared with the first tense, complex, thrilling, and gradually solving the mystery through flashbacks, the sequel is a lot more straightforward, because the veil of mystery is removed and the murderer is known, the impact is naturally halved, however, the biggest guarantee of the sequel is absolutely doubly bloody - a new method of torture, the return of the original cast, including the one who was put on an iron helmet by the murderer in the first episode and dug the key from the stomach to survive, is absolutely enough to satisfy the audience's bloodthirsty desire for Halloween.

Of course, the most attractive thing is the continuation of the narrative angle of "Chainsaw", the movie seems to be more like a role-playing game, it not only tells the development of the case from the perspective of the victim, so that the audience can feel the pain with the victim through this perspective, and also desperately search for clues with the victim, hoping to escape. All kinds of unknown elements provoke infinite terror.

It's no wonder that the first drama created by Yi Feiyang himself almost used up the biggest suspense, that is, the "jigsaw", leaving James Wing with only constantly changing the shooting angle and narrative angle, so as to give the audience a strong sense of substitution.

I have to say that under the supervision of Yi Feiyang and after James Win's continuous excellence in filming, "Chainsaw 2" not only reproduces the classic scenes of the previous life, but also achieves meticulous attention to detail in character portrayal, character dialogue, etc., without the slightest flaw. Such a perfect horror movie, it is simply a favorite of horror fans, how can it not be admired?

In such a situation, it is conceivable that the box office is a big hit. On the premiere day alone, the box office has exceeded 4 million US dollars, directly breaking the box office record of the first "Chainsaw" created by Yi Feiyang.

As a result, James Wing, as a rookie director, stood directly on the big stage of Hollywood as a cutting-edge horror director, was known and familiar to everyone, and established his position in horror movies in one fell swoop, becoming one of the youngest horror film directors in the legend, and was respected by many horror fans as "the successor of Yi".

James Winn, on fire!

And Yi Feiyang, who is also a Chinese director and his master, is even more popular than him!

Yes, if James Winn's fire is like a small charcoal fire, then the fire that is easy to fly is a forest fire!

The success of "Chainsaw 2" once again dominated the Halloween file! Dream Pictures used their strength to tell everyone that in the field of horror films, they seem to have become the best!

At the same time, Yi Feiyang has also become the most money-making person in the entire entertainment industry, and with the drama he supervised, the media that continues to hype Yi Feiyang naturally commented on this film.

As Yi Feiyang's friend and mentor, Spielberg, a great director who is not willing to be lonely, also published an article in the column of the Hollywood Daily News, turning from a big director to a temporary film critic. expressed their opinion.

"I've been fond of the horror film "Chainsaw" that is easy to shoot in China for a long time, so after the release of "Chainsaw 2", I immediately watched the premiere of this drama. Suddenly, I was shocked by the screenwriter China Yi's godlike concept. Although this drama is no longer directed by China Yi himself, his method of acting as a screenwriter is once again eye-opening, it can be said that Chainsaw is him, he is the soul of this play! ”

"After watching the movie, I liked to listen to the comments of those viewers who were messy, and after leaving the scene, I heard many people along the way supporting the jigsaw, and I was proud of the variety and wonder of his killing techniques, and even affectionately called him 'Uncle Saw'. In this regard, I can only sigh at the same movie plot, but after watching it, everyone's feelings are very different. ”

"If you look at the show from the perspective of appreciating the torture process and getting pleasure from it, there is no doubt that Jigsaw will be your favorite and appreciated character. His brutal methods and neat methods will make you enjoy watching it. However, Saw is not simply a violent movie, although it has too many scenes of gory violence in it. But whether it is the main episode or the sequel of this play, it emphasizes a jigsaw killing concept: redeem yourself! ”

"Jigsaw himself is a terminally ill and suffering from illness, and those victims have a good chance to live well, and have a good time to enjoy happiness, but they use this precious time to hate, to harm others, to make mistakes, to fall, in this case, Jigsaw uses his own ways and rules to teach these people who are in the midst of blessings not to cherish it! Seeing this, everyone should understand that we should not see this drama as a simple horror movie, but a drama film with rich philosophies! Yes, it's the kind of film, at least after I watch it, I will cherish my time and life even more! ”

I have to say that Spielberg's review has played a role in the continued popularity of "Chainsaw 2", or the icing on the cake, making "Chainsaw 2" still strong at the box office and word-of-mouth after entering December. So much so that many veterans estimate that the box office of this "Chainsaw 2" will exceed 180 million US dollars, and the dream will eventually reap a net profit of about 50 million!

The box office and word-of-mouth of "Chainsaw 2" are like two sharp swords, piercing the hearts of some people, telling those who once looked down on dreams and Yi Feiyang that they are all idiots, jealous, and a bunch of guys without vision!

Warner gets slapped!

Universal was slapped in the face!

When the media reporter asked them again how they felt, the CEOs of the two companies blushed and then stubbornly said, "Probably...... He's still lucky! ”

In the face of the answers of the CEOs of these two companies, not to mention those media reporters, even the pigs laughed. So much so that a reporter said: "I don't think that Mr. Yi is lucky in China, but because some companies are always unlucky!" (To be continued......)
