Seeing that the Christmas schedule is approaching, a trace of gunsmoke is gradually appearing in the North American film market.

First of all, the media in North America began to be unwilling to be lonely.

"Christmas 1994 is approaching, and the horror film masterpiece "Saw 2" will be released in its entirety this Friday. ”

"On Christmas Eve, North American studios are once again competing with each other. ”

The films "Burning Years" and "Chainsaw 2" were released on the same day, and the ghost talent Edward Zwick and Jigsaw are about to compete on the same stage. ”

"Jigsaw has reappeared in North America, I don't know what kind of horror will happen!"

By the eve of the film's release, Twentieth Century Fox had spent a whopping $6 million publicity budget.

You know, these expenses are all from Twentieth Century Fox, and they have nothing to do with Ryan.

It shows that Twentieth Century Fox is very optimistic about the box office of "Saw 2" and is willing to invest heavily in publicity.

At the same time, Colombia is not willing to be lonely, and the publicity of "Burning Years" is no smaller than that of "Saw 2", and the two films vaguely compete with each other.

Even, some gossip tabloids began to speculate about the final box office of the two films, and it is said that even some lottery companies have opened small bets.

In fact, the competition between "Saw 2" and "Burning Years" is far less than the outside world imagines.

First of all, "Chainsaw 2", which is a horror film in itself, and "Burning Years" is a romance film, and the audience of the two films is different.

Originally, "Saw 2" was prepared to be released on Halloween, but due to the filming time, the schedule could only be changed to Christmas, not to compete with "Burning Years" for the box office.

Twentieth Century Fox and Colombia have already negotiated this issue to avoid unnecessary friction.

On December 23, Columbia held a grand premiere ceremony at the Chinese Theater, with a dense crowd of media and Hollywood stars who came to cheer.

In contrast, Twentieth Century Fox's premiere for "Saw 2" was much smaller, inviting only a few well-friended media outlets, as well as a handful of celebrities.

One of the most famous is Nicolas Cage, who was invited by Sophia.

It's not that Twentieth Century Fox can't invite big-name stars, but there is no need for this, and the biggest selling point of "Saw 2" is the horror scenes and mysterious jigsaws, not any big-name stars.

Moreover, it is not a good thing that there are many big-name stars invited, which will inevitably seem noisy.

Instead of that, it is better to focus on the promotion of the film.

In any case, the content about "Saw 2" has become a hot topic at the moment, and many horror movie lovers, or viewers who have watched the first "Saw 2", are full of expectations for the release of "Saw 2".

At the same time, it also caused a very embarrassing thing, what the media and the audience looked forward to the most in the film, in addition to the plot and jigsaw, turned out to be Monica Bellucci's jigsaw apostle Amanda Young.

In contrast, the other actors in the film have received little media attention.

On the day of the 23rd, there was a crowd of people outside the premiere, and many people had very scary makeup painted on their faces, and it was estimated that they would be scared to death when they came out at night.

Even at the premiere, there was no red carpet arranged, which seemed a little shabby.

But when Monica Bellucci got out of the car with another girl, it was still greeted with huge cheers from many fans, with slogans such as "Goddess of Terror" and "Jigsaw Apostle".

Monica Bellucci, who had just returned from the UK, was shocked, she never imagined that she would have so many fans.

For a moment, her whole body became in a trance, recalling the difficult situation when she first came to Hollywood.

If it weren't for the reminder from the girl around her, she almost forgot to say hello to the fans and sign autographs.

In fact, a large part of these fans were arranged by Ryan, and if Monica Bellucci takes a closer look, you can find that many fans in it seem to be extras under Star Agency, and only a few are real fans.

Hiring some extras to act as fans has long been a commonplace thing in previous lives, and many stars will do it.

As for whether it has led the trend of temporary fans in North America, Ryan doesn't know, but the effect of the scene in front of him is very good

It also made some employees of Twentieth Century Fox amazed, it turned out that they could still play like this?

It seems that Helen has also found a new business opportunity, and she can take advantage of the gap in the North American market to preemptively sign temporary fan agreements with some Hollywood stars, ensuring that she will be warmly welcomed by countless fans everywhere she goes.

Until she walked into the cinema, Monica Bellucci, she still hadn't come back to her senses, and even wondered where she got so many fans, but it was the effect of Twentieth Century Fox propaganda!

"Wow, Monica, I didn't expect you to be so popular in Hollywood!" the girl who came with her was full of envy in her tone.

It's Hollywood, not Spain.

Monica Bellucci was a little puzzled and said, "I don't know very well, when I came back a few days ago, it wasn't like this. ”

"Either way, congratulations on your entry into Hollywood. The girl congratulated sincerely.

As a female model from Italy, it is a miracle to be able to break into Hollywood.

"Don't worry, when the premiere is over, I'll introduce Helen to you. "Monica Bellucci seems a little reluctant.

After all, if you introduce another female actor to your agent, you will inevitably share her resources in the future.

But with her relationship with the girl, it's not easy to refuse.

If it were the same as before, she would have politely refused, but now she has successfully entered Hollywood, not to mention that she is shooting a film, and there is a series of films that will be released in front of her.

Moreover, Helen is helping her get a very important role, and it is obviously a very wise decision to please Helen at this time.

At the same time, with the arrival of the crew and guests, fans outside the cinema began to come in one after another, and after a while, the entire cinema was full, which surprised the media who came.

These fans in front of them are not extras, they are all real fans who came in at their own expense, from this point of view, it shows the influence of "Saw 2".

As the premiere time approached, Ryan personally brought the entire crew out to meet with thousands of fans below.

The host was a leading actress invited from Fox TV, and she first took the microphone and introduced the crew members one by one, telling some tidbits during the filming process.

When it was Ryan's turn to introduce Ryan, she paused obviously, "I think everyone is no stranger to the name of director Ryan, the last "Saw Horror" film directed by him grossed more than $100 million worldwide. ”

"Then may I ask Director Ryan, why did he create such a horror film script in the first place!"

"Before Director Ryan answers, I must introduce a little bit again, the first "Chainsaw" released this summer, Director Ryan is not only a director, but also the only investor, producer, screenwriter and other positions of the film. ”

Including the upcoming "Saw 2", it is all from his whimsy. ”

Many fans below secretly exclaimed, wearing many hats, seemingly talented, but with a hint of helplessness.

"The question itself, very simple. ”

Without thinking about it, Ryan replied, "I had just rented an apartment, and the real estate manager told me that it had been a homicide scene, and that there had been multiple suicides, as well as a rumored witch-cursed place. ”

"The only good thing was that the rent was very cheap, so I ended up renting it anyway. ”

"That afternoon, I moved in, and scared a friend who helped me out with something that I swore never to set foot in the apartment again. ”

Ryan showed a trace of memory in his eyes, and said: "After a long time, I couldn't help but fantasize about the process of the murder scene, so the first "Chainsaw" appeared, and I was still in the apartment, and I shot a lot of shots. ”

attracted a group of fans below, and exclaimed from time to time, it turned out that the media reports above were true, there was really a murder scene, and there had been many suicides, maybe the rumors of witches were not a scam, but the real witch has not been found.

Sofia Coppola was expressionless, eager to strangle Ryan's guy to death, and the friend someone was talking about seemed to be her.

"What a goddamn bastard. Sofia Coppola couldn't help but curse in a whisper.
