Chapter 214: Chainsaw Premiere

December 31.

On the last day of '06, it snowed heavily in Los Angeles.

White snowflakes covered the main roads of Los Angeles, and in the bitter cold wind, the ticket windows of major movie theaters were full of people.

Today is the day advance tickets for Saw are open.

This controversial film, which is very controversial in the history of old American cinema, did not open the advance ticket channel six or seven days in advance like other Hollywood films, but was uncharacteristically stuck on the last day.

And the advance tickets that are open are not five or six days, let alone two or three days later, but only tomorrow.

In the face of such abnormal behavior, fans naturally complained and dissatisfied, and even sprayed Warner in public......

Warner officials did not give any explanation for this matter, but only wrote a sentence on the official website.

"We did our best!"

Warner, who has always been very strong, said this very strangely.

This sentence is very short, and many fans are baffled.

What did they try?

What does a big company like Warner need to do its best?

But when pondering the sentence carefully, many fans suddenly found this sentence very intriguing.

Eight o'clock in the morning.

The first black guy to buy a ticket for "Chainsaw" was surprised to find that there was such a line in the ticket for "Chainsaw".

"Every fan who can see Saw is God's lucky one, congratulations, lucky one."

Looking at this line of words, the black guy scratched his head.

Although I don't know what this sentence means, my mood is inexplicably good.

He left the cinema with his ticket.

The snow outside the movie theater was getting heavier and heavier, and the chill seeped through his skin and pierced his bone marrow, making people shiver for a moment.

After returning home, the black guy named Allen took a movie ticket to show off on the Internet, and then found a breaking news on the Internet.

""Chainsaw" was once classified by the American Film Bureau as an M x P rated film that could not be released in theaters......"

Later, Warner's senior management repeatedly communicated with the film department personnel and negotiated, and finally qualified the film as NC-17...... Screenings are permitted, but there are some restrictions......"

After seeing the breaking news, Alan understood the deep meaning of the words on the movie ticket, and even understood the meaning of the phrase "We did our best".

It turns out that this movie full of thriller elements such as "murder", "violence", "captivity", "torture and killing", "thriller", "anti-human", "shooting minors" and other thriller elements has made the official scalp tingle even in a free country like the United States.

But in order for the film to be released, they have been fighting for and applying to the US authorities since they got the rights to "Saw Horror", and finally the film was rated as an NC-17 film (17 years old or younger are not allowed to watch - this level of film is classified as an adult film, and minors are firmly forbidden to watch it.) There are clear love scenes in the film, a lot of x-poison or violent scenes, and swear words, etc. )

After Allen watched the breaking news, his heart suddenly trembled, and the sense of expectation for this movie in his heart was beyond measure!

………………………………

07 years with a bell quietly came.

The snow in Los Angeles has finally stopped.

There are eight hours left until the premiere press conference of "Fatal Crisis".

This movie, which brings together many Hollywood celebrities and Chinese actors, has been officially confirmed as an overseas import project among the 20 films in Huaxia 07 an hour ago.

Zhao Sicheng looked at the list of Chinese film introductions, and his fingers couldn't help but tremble.

A new era is coming, and as the guide of this new era, he naturally can't suppress the excitement in his heart!

Flowers, applause, glory, milestones......

Having lived to his age, that's all he pursues.

"Can we start?"

"Yes!"

"Okay!"

Zhao Sicheng put the introduction list on the table, he tidied up his clothes, and then looked at the live broadcast station in the distance.

He took a deep breath silently.

Fox's recommendation for "Fatal Crisis" has been upgraded, not only arranging for him to participate in "American Filmmaker" and other talk shows that only American directors can enter, but also specially holding a grand premiere for "Fatal Crisis" that only American blockbusters can hold.

At the premiere, not only the goddess Julian was invited. Pitt , Freddy and other well-known Hollywood celebrities helped out, and even the American pop king Michael sang the theme song.

This is the best resource!

At the live broadcast of "American Filmmaker", Zhao Sicheng smiled and sat in the guest seat.

The host, Peterson, greeted him warmly, chatted about some Hollywood lace news as usual, talked about the history of American films, and finally introduced Zhao Sicheng.

"Hello Mr. Zhao, as the first Chinese director to participate in "American Filmmaker", what do you think of our United States?"

"This is a country full of freedom, twenty years ago, when I first came to the United States, I was shocked by the prosperity of the United States, the sweet air in my face, made my pores all over my body relax, I was very obsessed with it, I dreamed of becoming a member of American filmmakers, contributing to this prosperous, great country......"

“……”

Zhao Sicheng's eyes were not stingy with his praise for the United States, and his words were full of amazement and yearning, and he was even proud of being on the show "American Filmmaker".

The host, Peterson, was naturally very happy after listening to it.

Later, after chatting about some other content, it was inevitable to talk about the contrast between Huaxia and Lao Mei.

Zhao Sicheng subconsciously glanced at Tom who was standing in the distance, and after seeing Tom nodding, he continued to answer: "Huaxia is a relatively backward country, and no place can compare with the prosperous United States, this is an ideal country that people yearn for......

"If one day, you were asked to become one of the American filmmakers, would you be willing?" The moderator continued.

"Of course I do, if I have the privilege!" Zhao Sicheng nodded without thinking.

"I heard that you seem to have a bit of a personal ambition about another movie released at the same time, Zhou Yang, the director of "Chainsaw"?"

"There's no contradiction, but I don't appreciate this person, I think he's narrow-minded, arrogant, and only relies on some indiscriminate things to get attention, blindly just wants to take shortcuts, and never down-to-earth......"

"Do you think Saw is a hype?"

"Of course it's a hype, no one in our older generation of Chinese directors has ever identified with him, and they all regard him as a clown who can only jump up and down......"

“……”

……………………

Seven o'clock in the morning on January 1.

The live broadcast of "American Filmmaker" set off a wave of craze in the American film industry.

Many old American filmmakers felt the pride and pride of being Americans during the live broadcast.

Especially Zhao Sicheng's kneeling and licking face, it made the emotion in their hearts even more satisfying.

Zhou Yang naturally saw the replay video of this live broadcast

After reading it, he was not angry, but he was very disappointed in his heart, and he sighed long after being silent for a long time.

He picked up his mobile phone and wanted to call Zhao Sicheng......

After a long time of picking up the phone, he put it down again.

"Knock knock."

"Is Mr. Zhou Yang here?"

"Yes."

"The premiere of Saw has begun, and it's almost time to get in the car."

"Oh, okay."

Zhou Yang nodded, then put on a piece of clothing and walked out of the room.

Outside the room, Christian was smiling, as if the movie premiering today was not Zhou Yang's film, but his own.

After getting in the car, he pulled Zhou Yang and chatted with Zhou Yang about the filming technique of "Lamb".

"Mr. Zhou Yang, as the assistant director of "Lamb", I hope you can help me design a set of secret rooms similar to "Chainsaw" ......"

"Huh? I'm not the assistant director of "Lamb", ah......" Zhou Yang was stunned.

He felt that his mind could not keep up with Christian's......

"When filming "Saw", I promised you to be one of the assistant directors of "Lamb", you forgot?"

"This ......"

"Don't be so surprised, okay, this is the new version of the full script of "The Lamb", you can help me take a look, by the way, help me design the secret room, just help design it......"

"Okay." Zhou Yang nodded.

"By the way, Mr. Zhou Yang, how about I be the director of the movie "Saw 2"?"

"The first part hasn't been released yet, the second part, this ......" Zhou Yang saw Christian's excited appearance, he felt that he really couldn't keep up with Christian's rhythm.

It seems that after filming "Chainsaw", Christian unlocked the bad taste of shooting, and then immersed himself in it, and began to feel a little unable to extricate himself.

The filming plan of "Lamb" was all overturned by him.

…………………………

"Fatal Crisis" had an unprecedented premiere.

Fox gave the best resources and cards to the movie "Fatal Crisis", and the audience applauded thunderously.

Zhao Sicheng, who had not slept all night, excitedly picked up the microphone and told the various ups and downs and details of the filming of the movie "Fatal Crisis" in the center of the crowd.

After he finished, his assistant director, Harris, walked over.

"That's how a real movie should ......"

"No one really thinks that "Saw" has only been filmed for less than half a month, and the shoddy video will be a movie, right?"

"What about the premiere of Saw Horror? Where is his premiere? Oh, I forgot, that young Chinese director is not a professional director at all, and he doesn't know what a premiere is......"

"Haha!"

“……”

Harris laughed at the premiere of "Deadly Crisis" and mocked "Saw" with impunity in line with Fox's arrangement.

The emotions of the fans off the field were very active for a while......

Zhao Sicheng was also applauding and laughing, smiling brightly, immersed in prosperity and beautification......

"Chainsaw" on the other side did not have a premiere.

But the fans were so enthusiastic that they packed the premiere room......

Alan even took the movie ticket and sat in his seat excitedly.

The lights dimmed suddenly, and I don't know what was going on, and Alan suddenly felt a sense of depression permeating the crowded screening room.

Then, the screen lit up slightly, but the dim light did not make Alan feel warm, but instead gave people the feeling of gradually being swallowed up by darkness.

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

Alan heard a dry, icy voice echoing through the darkness over and over again.

Lighter and lighter, lighter and lighter......

When the sound is so low that it is almost inaudible.

Suddenly!

Saw Horror!

On the big dark screen, the name of the movie appeared without warning......

The bloody color scheme was filled with suffocating rifts that made Allen's heart twitch unconsciously......

The noisy screening room fell silent at this moment......
