Chapter 196: Zhou Yang's version of the chainsaw

Zhou Yang's various news and popularity at the 29th Xiangjiang Top Ten Chinese Golden Melody Awards came quickly, but it also faded very quickly.

On the evening of November 4, all major Weibo, social media and other places were full of Zhou Yang's news, but at noon on November 5, these news were instantly replaced by another, more exciting news.

"Superman" exceeded 18 million yuan at the box office yesterday, setting a new record for daily sales in China! 》”

Yes!

The news of the Hollywood movie "Superman" has once again made headlines on major social media.

This Hollywood movie hit a new high yesterday, and not only did the popularity not fall in the 12 days of its release, but on November 4, it got an astonishing figure of 18 million, creating the highest daily box office sales in the Chinese film market, and at the same time, the total box office of "Superman" officially exceeded 200 million, and it is heading towards 300 million......

Looking at this series of astonishing data, Chinese filmmakers were dumbfounded.

They feel that their estimate of the total box office of the movie "Superman" may have to increase a little more!

The Chinese film industry was trembling, but the tremor did not last long, and everyone heard another even more shocking news on the morning of November 6.

The Hollywood movie "Jurassic" premiered overseas, and the first box office reached a staggering $12 million!

After seeing this news, many people were very confused.

They were unbelievable!

They thought it was crazy enough for "Superman" to hit $11 million when it premiered overseas!

But they never dreamed that it was less than a month before the premiere box office of "Superman" was surpassed by another "Jurassic"?

Crazy, it's crazy.

Moreover, the premiere of "Superman" in China is October 22, while the premiere of the movie "Jurassic" in China is November 22.

"Superman" showed such an amazing box office, but what about "Jurassic"?

unimaginable!

Many filmmakers are aware that the Chinese film industry will usher in an unprecedented earthquake, and at the same time, they are extremely pessimistic about the Chinese film industry in November and even December.

"If there is no accident, in the next two months, the box office data of local Chinese movies will be ugly......" Shen Changwei, who rarely posts on Weibo, rarely posted such a worrying comment on Weibo, which made many netizens agree with it, and once rushed to the top ten of Weibo's hot search, but then, Shen Changwei found that his comment was replaced by countless "Jurassic" news......

Some of them bought the hot search, saying that they are not only preparing to launch a limited edition of "Superman" of various peripherals, but also contacted the copyright of "Jurassic", and will simultaneously launch various peripheral accessories of "Jurassic".

While the major Chinese theaters congratulated the movie "Jurassic" on generating such an amazing box office, they also announced that they are ready to add more screening halls in the future considering the enthusiasm of fans......

Some people are worried and feel that the future of Chinese films is difficult to move forward, but some people are ecstatic, and they see the huge benefits in it, and they have joined it......

………………………………

November 6 night.

Zhou Yang also saw various news about the movie "Jurassic".

He felt an indescribable sense of sadness, that the world seemed more exaggerated than his original world......

Then he turned off the computer and looked down at the words "Chainsaw" on the table.

When Zhou Yang came into contact with this movie, it was very accidental.

In the original world, Zhou Yang had a roommate who loved all kinds of forbidden films, and his mind was full of strange ideas.

Every Saturday and Sunday, he would go to the Internet café to play some messy movies in MP4, and invite the whole dormitory buddies to watch them together.

Most of these movies are homicide, violence, and H are almost impossible to show in theaters.

The teenagers are full of curiosity about these things, and after watching these movies, the brothers in the dormitory are very excited, and once discussed the plot of the movie until late at night.

Zhou Yang is not very interested in this kind of movie, but everyone in a dormitory watches it, and if you don't watch it, you don't seem to be very social.

Moreover, everyone is discussing, and it is really a bit out of place for you to be silent.

So, under the subtle edification, Zhou Yang followed and watched some movies such as "Human Centipede", "Cut* Love", "Sewer Mermaid", "I Spit on You" and other movies.

To be honest, after watching these movies, the physical and psychological impact on Zhou Yang at that time was very huge, and he was even puzzled by the behavior of these Western perverts to make this kind of movie, and he couldn't understand what the "violent aesthetics" advocated by the "roommate" meant......

"Saw" is also among these films.

Zhou Yang was quite impressed by the movie "Chainsaw", after watching it, Zhou Yang remembered that he had nightmares for several days in a row, and every time he dreamed, he dreamed that he was imprisoned in a cold, messy, and bloody basement, struggling in fear of calling the heavens and the earth ineffective, and finally disappeared into endless darkness.

"How much blood will you shed to stay alive?"

This line is still lingering in Zhou Yang's mind until this moment.

Huaxing.

in the office.

Zhou Yang recalled the plot of "Chainsaw" and silently wrote a script framework.

After writing the framework of the script, Zhou Yang carefully recalled the names of the characters in it.

He remembered that one of the characters was called Adam and was a private detective, and the other protagonist's name Zhou Yang couldn't remember clearly, but he remembered that his profession was a doctor.

After writing the general direction and plot of the movie, Zhou Yang stared at the word "Adam" again, and when writing the plot of the character, Zhou Yang suddenly had an indescribable sense of separation.

His memory is very vague, and he finds that he can't write the plot of this character, only that the final ending of this character should be trapped in a secret room.

Although he was quite impressed by this movie, at most it was some familiar lines and general plot, and in other details, no matter how hard Zhou Yang tried to recall, he couldn't recall it.

Then, he stared at the four words "Chainsaw" on the script, and fell into a long deep thought.

He felt like he had to do everything he could to fill something in......

After hesitating for a long time, he finally wrote a paragraph in the character's message.

Adam: A private investigator who specializes in secretly filming for a living and lives in the shadows, but he is an extreme racist on the Internet, and has repeatedly abused "black*" online.

Dr. Edward: He has a happy and wonderful family, but he is obsessed with his work but neglects his family, he has an affair with an intern, he has ordinary medical skills, and he always gives unrealistic hope to those terminally ill patients who cannot be cured, but prescribes them the most expensive drugs to make a profit......

Detective Robert: On the surface, he is a respectable FBI, but in fact he is a pervert who takes pleasure in abusing homeless people, looks down on the old and beautiful black man very much, and will always find fault with nothing, and even watched the young black brother die in front of him ten years ago, but did not lend any help.

Amanda: Framed and imprisoned by a lawyer and Robert, she became addicted to drugs in prison......

Steve: Spent money to dredge up the relationship and frame Amanda in order to shield his murderous son.

Hospital nurses: Organ traffickers who are used by jigsaws feel that the living life in the hospital is the source of their organs......

……

After Zhou Yang finished writing the introduction of these characters, he nodded after reading them carefully.

The gap between the rich and the poor, the species. Racial discrimination, a dark medical system, and homeless people at the bottom......

All these elements that old beauty should have are there.

I don't know if after getting in touch with more realistic movies like "Mine Bottom" and "The Crow", Zhou Yang always feels that when he writes the script, he will put it into realism.

After writing and straightening out the character introduction and general plot of the script, Zhou Yang found that it was already eight o'clock in the morning.

He rubbed his aching eyes and yawned.

Just then, his cell phone rang.

After seeing the phone, Zhou Yang, who was originally a little tired, was a little more energetic.

"Mr. An?"

"When are you leaving for the United States?"

"Let's do it this afternoon, the ticket is booked for this afternoon......"

"Oh."

"What's wrong?"

"In the department, the support plan for overseas directors has come down, and I have already declared your name, and it should be approved soon."

"Oooh, thank you." Zhou Yang nodded subconsciously.

"How much did you invest in this movie?"

"I haven't made a specific budget yet, I don't know how much investment I need, it should be less than one million dollars of investment......"

"How much?" The other end of the line seemed shocked and asked again.

"It's less than a million dollars invested." Zhou Yang thought for a while and gave such an answer again.

"How are you going to make such a low-budget movie?"

"I don't know now, I won't know until I talk to Director Christian......"

"Christian?"

"yes, yes."

"So is your team already assembled? How many people are you going to take with you to the United States this time? An Xiao was silent for a moment and asked again.

"I'll go alone."

"What did you say?"

"I went alone, I was planning that when director Christian was filming "Lamb", I would rub his crew and cinematographer by the way, and if it was suitable, borrow his venue directly......"

"This ...... Is this okay? An Xiao on the other end of the phone was even more shocked, isn't this an empty glove white wolf? I also went abroad to set it.

"I think it's okay, Director Christian has already agreed......"

An Xiao was speechless for a while, "You said that you will shoot this movie for about a month?" ”

"Yes, it's a month."

"Within a million dollars, shoot ...... in a month" On the other end of the phone, An Xiao fell into a long silence again, and only spoke for a long time: "No matter how you shoot, I will support you, if there is any difficulty, you have to call me as soon as possible......"

"Okay, it should be enough, I still have to discuss it with Director Christian to know the specific budget......"
