Chapter 395: Reversal and reversal, "Chainsaw" is released
Martin was no stranger to his father's arrogance. It was very discussed before, but in order not to run out of money to go around chic, he has been silently enduring and pleased.
Now, he didn't feel the need for it. Now that he had decided that he was going to make his way on his own, Martin didn't think about getting help from Patrick again.
He believed that Xu Ji also took a fancy to him as a person, not the influence of Paiki Pictures on the American side.
Even if he starved to death outside, it would never be possible to go back to beg his father again! ...... After Wesker left angrily, the director couldn't help but say, "Mr. Martin, is this really okay?" ”—
"What?" Martin came back to his senses and looked at the director. The other party hesitated for a while, but still said, "If you offend your father like this." ”
"Isn't it good for us?"
"The movie "Saw" hasn't been rated yet."
"With Patty's help, maybe we'll be able to get an R rating."
"Otherwise, judging from the content of the movie, Nc17 didn't run." After the director's words were finished, Martin was also stunned.
He almost forgot about it. As a horror film, "Chainsaw" does have a lot of bloody and violent scenes in its content.
Ratings are a critical issue. The United States is not like China, and movies are rated before they are released in theaters.
Needless to say, the lower the level, the fewer restrictions there are, and the greater the box office help for the movie. R rating is for those under the age of 17 and must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
But in the case of Nc17, it is directly forbidden for teenagers under the age of 17 to watch it. Although the difference between the two sounds small, the impact is actually great.
The impact on the box office is not of an order of magnitude at all. If "Saw Horror" finally gets an Nc17, the box office is estimated to be less than 20%.
In this regard, it is more secure to rely on the help of Pager Pictures. Thinking of this, Martin immediately regretted not being able to do it.
He got up and ran out the door. ...... Martin still went to ask Wesker in a low voice.
Of course, he kept convincing himself in his heart. The film means a lot to him, so even a little bit of a head is fine.
Wesker hasn't given a good face since they met. But seeing Martin running to beg him personally, he still agreed.
He is such a character, and on the surface he is indeed a strict father. But when his son is in need, he will still help.
Otherwise, Martin wouldn't have been able to cheat so many times from him before. So many times before, of course, he knew that Martin's so-called projects and reasons were just to cheat money.
But this money is really nothing to Wesker. Patrick of the Eight Major Pictures, there is basically no pressure to take a few million to play with Martin.
At the very least, Martin will not rely on his identity to influence Page's business. Wesker also left the other party...... But this time, Wesker could feel it clearly.
This loser is indeed different. is particularly concerned about this small-budget investment movie.
The front was so hard, and the back chased out to apologize and ask him to help. I thought that the other party was going to ask for money again as before.
But I didn't expect it to be not. It's because of the movie rating.
"Sir, I think the young master is serious this time." Wesker's assistant also spoke at this point.
Of course, for such words, Wesker shook his head.
"This Huaxia man is probably looking for him to try."
"With this multi-million dollar investment, our project is not so shabby."
"He'll take it personally." Wesker spoke his mind. I came here with great expectations.
As a result, seeing that Martin was in such an environment here, he was naturally disappointed.
"When the movie comes out, I want to see it."
"What kind of movie is it?" Wesker didn't expect much, though. But in the end, it was said.
Wesker's assistant, who has been with Wesker for decades, is not surprising. That's how Wesker is.
What you say and what you actually do are completely different things.
"Got it, Mr. Wesker." ...... About a week after the performance of Tongji Entertainment's graduation season, the popularity has gradually decreased.
At this time, it was kiwi fruit that began to promote the drama "Bright Sword". The copyright fee has paid such a high price, and Congzhu will naturally not be reluctant to pay for the publicity.
On the day "Bright Sword" was finalized, almost all the news about this drama was on the Internet. Of course, the biggest publicity point is still on Xu Ji as a screenwriter and producer.
It's all on the label, too
"Xu Ji New Drama" is placed in the most conspicuous position. Although he is a super first-line director, Song Ideal, the director, is not the most important point of publicity.
Of course, Song Ideal also saw the choice of the kiwi fruit to be released this time. I am also very helpless about this. Although I feel a little unhappy in my heart, from the perspective of publicity, there is really no problem with such a method.
Song Li still knows a lot in his heart. Compared with Xu Ji, the gap in the popularity of his super-first-line director is indeed too huge.
Even if Xu Ji is not a director, as long as the screenwriter has Xu Ji's name. Then this drama can still attract the attention of many netizens.
...... On the side of Station G, I naturally also saw the announcement of the drama "Bright Sword" on the Kiwi side.
Especially when he saw Xu Ji's name written on the propaganda poster, Chi Jiang only felt that his mood was very complicated.
Most of the time, Xu Ji should appear in the official account of Station G. But this time, he also experienced the feelings of other platforms before.
Fortunately, there have been no dramas that have been broadcast too seriously on Station G recently. Otherwise, Chi Jiang could only choose to postpone it.
Even if he gets the new drama of Tongji Entertainment, Chi Jiang still has to think more about whether to avoid the schedule of "Bright Sword".
Although he only watched the first few episodes of this drama, he already secretly felt that if nothing else, it was likely to be popular in the future.
is also allowed to trace his own drama, and he can touch his drama. But this is clearly not worth the cost.
After all, if the two dramas have the potential to be popular, then it will be broadcast at the same time, and it will be the platforms of the two dramas that will suffer.
Mutual robbing the audience before. On the contrary, it cannot achieve the effect of maximizing benefits. If this really happens, Chi Jiang may still have to consider going to negotiate with Kiwi to solve it.
The schedule of the two dramas is avoided, which is a good thing for both platforms. ...... The domestic "Bright Sword" is still only in the stage of publicity and distribution, and it has not been officially broadcast.
But on the American side, "Saw Horror" has been officially launched soon. After the relationship between Paigie's side, the movie still managed to get an R-rated release rating.
Martin is also quite satisfied with this. After all, the content of this movie, it is basically impossible to lower the evaluation.
is different from "Dream Travel", which was originally promoted by the theater chain. "Saw Horror" was basically released without any publicity.
Naturally, the film schedule is also quite low. After all, such a low-budget horror film, it is unlikely that the theater chain will give a high schedule as soon as it comes up.
The risk is too great. What's more, whether it is a director or an actor in the movie, almost all of them are amateurs who are not well-known.
On the day of the film's release, Martin himself went to the theater. Originally, he had planned to go and see it quietly by himself.
But I don't know who leaked the news. As a result, his so-called friends before were clamoring to watch the premiere of this movie together.
In desperation, Martin himself could only agree. ......
"Mr. Wesker, Master Martin's movie has been released."
"Need to arrange for you to go to the theater?" Paiki Pictures, the assistant opened his mouth to remind. Wesker only remembered this when he heard it.
I looked at my schedule for this time. Then he nodded.
"It's nothing to do anyway, just go and see." Wesker stood up and said. The assistant nodded, not surprised.
Unlike Martin, Wesker, as the boss of Paiki, naturally has the privilege of going to the theater.
It's all specially arranged, and Wesker is the only one in the theater. Wesker hesitated for a moment, but finally spoke, "Are there any other games?" ”
"Take me to a regular venue with an audience." Although I don't care, I can't look down on it. But Martin was so serious this time, he still wanted to see the feedback of ordinary audiences on the movie.
"I'll ask." The assistant then agreed. Then walked out of the theater. After a while, he returned and took Wesker to a normal hall next door.
Of course, although it is an ordinary hall, the number of spectators at this time is not much. After all, there is no pre-promotion for the movie at all.
Basically, there will be no audience who comes to the theater specifically for this movie. At this time, most of the seven or eight audiences in the theater actually wanted to watch a horror movie after coming to the theater, and they chose a movie at random.
Wesker frowned. It's still a little shabby. If it was a Paigie movie, it would not have been possible to premiere so few audiences.
Although this is not a Paigie movie, after all, the producer and person in charge of the entire project is his own son Martin.
Even Martin wouldn't deliberately mention his identity. But when many people mention Martin, their main identity is still Paiki's second son.
...... While Wesker was thinking about this, the movie officially began. The opening of the film is a little familiar, it is the logo of the Huaxia company.
In addition to this, the names of directors and actors began to appear in movies. But Wesker didn't know any of them.
Obviously, these directors and actors are completely newcomers, and they don't have fame and fans at all.
The subtitles end, and soon the plot of the movie begins. A young man wakes up from the bathtub to find himself locked in a closed, abandoned room with his feet still chained to a water pipe.
In addition to this, there was another person in the room, a doctor, who was also locked. Between the two was a corpse with a pistol and a tape recorder.
......
"It's kind of interesting at first......" Wesker began. Originally, I heard that it was a low-budget horror film.
He thought it would be a traditional ghost or something. To the end, it seems that it is completely different from what he imagined.
At this time, the movie is still going on. The two first found the saw, and then tried to cut the chains on their feet, but found that it didn't work.
After being reminded by the doctor, the young man realized that the saw was not for him to see chains at all. It's sawed foot.
The two men in the room came back to their senses and found their own tapes. Leaning on his clothes to hook the tape recorder of the corpse in the middle, the doctor played his own tape.
An old voice came, and from the contents of the tape, it was known that the young man was a voyeur, and he demanded that the doctor must kill him before six o'clock.
Otherwise both he and his wife would have to die, and the only clue to be able to get out is an X sign. ...... Wesker had gone to see the film with a scrutinizing eye.
But slowly, as the plot progressed, he completely fell into the plot. Especially the scary killing opportunities inside.
And the mysterious jigsaw. He likes to find people who don't value their lives, and then design some inhumane mechanism games.
If you can't do it, you'll end up dying a miserable death. And many of the deaths are still very miserable. As the investigation progressed, the two people in the room discovered the surveillance.
The jigsaw behind the scenes is clearly watching them from behind. ..... Originally, according to the progress of the investigation, the murderer behind the scenes should be the nurse at the hospital where the doctor worked.
And when the call from the nursing staff came, the doctor who heard his wife and daughter crying finally couldn't stand it anymore.
The previous plan with the young people has been recognized as a failure. He directly picked up the saw on the ground and sawed off his own foot.
Then he crawled to the position of the corpse in the middle, picked up the gun, and shot at the young man. That bloody picture, even if Wesker had prepared before, the whole person still felt creepy.
Although I was scared, I was still attracted by the plot and continued to watch. At this time, the few audiences in the theater actually changed from not caring to becoming serious.
The paramedic showed up, examined the young man's gunshot wounds, and then planned to kill the doctor who had sawed off his foot.
But what he didn't expect was that the young man suddenly got up from the ground, knocked him to the ground with the toilet seat, and smashed the lake of flesh and blood.
The doctor with the severed foot crawled out the door, ready to call the police, so that the locked young man could continue to wait.
All this turned out to be the same plan that the two had planned before. Wesker can't remember how many times this was reversed.
He was completely convinced by the script. Just when he thought it was already the end of the movie. A third tape appeared.
It's still a task, but this task is for the caregivers who everyone thought were jigsaws before.
The caregiver wasn't a jigsaw! Just when Wesker was surprised by such a transformation, he saw a scene that shocked him.
The corpse, which had been staying in the room, suddenly stood up on its own. He staggered to the door, closed it, and said, "Gameover! Wesker thought about the details, such as the fact that the jigsaw killed people who didn't care about their lives, so he wasn't a nurse, he was the patient.
And he likes to look at the games he designs up close, and it turns out that everything has already been foreshadowed. This script is simply amazing!
At this time, Wesker no longer cared about the small-budget films that he had been looking down on before. I was completely shocked by the plot that reversed several times.
......
