Bright sunlight shines through the windows into the lobby of the cinema.
The theater door opened.
The first audience of "Saw" walked out of the screening room with pale faces.
When asked, many people were still immersed in the plot and just shook their heads instinctively.
When they saw the sun, their pale faces finally gained a trace of blood, and they unconsciously quickened their steps toward the sun and toward the exit. Suddenly, they felt as if they had been reborn.
What happened to them?
Does this movie have such a big impact on people?
The audience, who were holding tickets and preparing to enter the theater to watch the second screening, looked at these people in confusion.
"This should be one of the most exciting movies in the history of American horror films..."
"The director is a lunatic, and the actors are lunatics. After watching it, I even felt that I was also a lunatic. I actually wanted to watch it a second time. This time, I wanted to stare at the corpse!"
"You never know how the movie will end until the last minute..."
"Yeah, the movie tickets are so worth it!"
"The only thing that makes me uncomfortable is that this movie is too realistic. Until now, I can't decide whether it is a movie or a murder documentary!"
"It's so bloody. This is the bloodiest movie I've ever seen. I suddenly understood the meaning of that line on the movie ticket..."
"This movie is against humanity. I regret going to the cinema to watch this movie!"
"..."
Those fans who came out of the movie plot discussed "Saw" as they left the cinema.
The discussion included praise, resistance, criticism, and even fanaticism...
Fans who have not yet watched "Saw" feel a vague sense of unease about facing the unknown after hearing this discussion.
They looked at the ambulance outside the house and thought of the few movie fans who had been carried out before!
This feeling of uneasiness began to become more and more intense.
However, no one refunds the check. Human nature is such that the more unknown they are, the more curious they are, and the more curious they are, the more impatient they feel.
Zhou Yang and Christian walked out of the screening room.
Reporters immediately swarmed around him.
"I'm sorry to the fans who were scared..."
When reporters interviewed Zhou Yang, a Chinese director, Zhou Yang looked a little guilty.
Christian patted Zhou Yang on the shoulder.
Then Zhou Yang looked at the audience who were about to enter the screening room and said this: "All the contents in "Saw" are fake and are props. Please don't take them seriously...even if you watch No matter how realistic it is, it’s still fake!”
Zhou Yang's expression was extremely serious and at the same time extremely sincere.
However, for some reason, Zhou Yang's reminder not only did not weaken the uneasy feeling in the hearts of the audience, but actually intensified it.
"Why would he remind us that these props are fake?"
Looking at the direction Zhou Yang was leaving, their hearts suddenly trembled.
He felt that Zhou Yang was hinting at something. If he wasn't hinting at something, he was definitely hiding something.
……………………
Zhou Yang did not leave with Christian and others, but walked straight into the screening room of "Fatal Crisis".
Although Zhao Sicheng didn't know what was going on in the past two days and always made some inexplicable and offensive remarks, he still bought a ticket for "Fatal Crisis".
Except for a few "actors" invited to adjust the atmosphere in the premiere hall of "Saw", most of the rest were real audiences. Even the main creative team of "Saw" was very small.
But the screening room of "Fatal Crisis" was filled with many Hollywood celebrities and senior executives of Fox Corporation.
The ticket Zhou Yang bought was in a poor location, and he was not conspicuous among these people. At the same time, the movie "Fatal Crisis" had already been played in the middle.
After Zhou Yang carefully watched the movie for dozens of minutes, he found that "Fatal Crisis" looked very much like the plot of a low-profile version of 007 from the original world.
With the help of cutting-edge technology from the United States, a handsome white guy rushed into the criminal lair with his bare hands, waving an AK coolly, and blasted a group of Russian gang members to pieces...
Although Zhou Yang doesn't like some of Zhao Sicheng's remarks, he has to admit that Zhao Sicheng does have two skills in making movies. The action design and visual effects of the movie are very strong, especially the male protagonist who uses various black technologies from time to time.
It is indeed an eye-catching act, which has become the biggest selling point of the entire movie. Some of the big scenes that appear in the movie from time to time make people excited...
However, after watching it for half an hour, Zhou Yang saw a plot that made him very uncomfortable.
All the Chinese people in the movie have narrowed eyes. What makes people even more speechless is that among them, the slightly more outstanding Chinese action actor Wang Qiusheng actually plays the descendant of Fu Manchu, a character in the Western comics of the last century, and is behind the scenes.
After doing all kinds of bad things, the source of the entire "Fatal Crisis" turned out to be the character played by Wang Qiusheng.
He is despicable and shameless. In order to realize his ambition to rule the world, he brutally massacres white people and is deeply possessed of anti-human genes.
The movie seems to be promoting Chinese culture, but it corrupts and demonizes Chinese culture. What makes Zhou Yang even more uncomfortable is that a Chinese master who is good at martial arts was defeated by Taekwondo, although he did not shout that Taekwondo is the best in the world.
One, but I was impressed by the so-called Taekwondo spirit and deeply admired...
What makes Zhou Yang feel even more uncomfortable is that when the movie takes place in China, the scenes are all backward, filthy, with people urinating and urinating everywhere, just like the Manchu and Qing Dynasties in the last century.
The more Zhou Yang watched, the more uncomfortable he became. The more he watched, the more disgusted he felt. It was hard to believe that this movie was shot by a Chinese director.
but!
The only one who seemed to be really uncomfortable in the screening room was Zhou Yang.
Not far away, Zhao Sicheng smiled from time to time and seemed to be chatting animatedly with Tom from Fox. When the movie reached its climax, there was thunderous applause and the smiles on everyone's faces were extremely bright, especially some old and beautiful young people.
I was so excited, especially when I saw the protagonist holding the frame of the helicopter with one hand and appearing in the bustling New York in a very cool and unrestrained manner to smash all the conspiracy of the Manchu man named Fu Xia Fu.
Those young people even jumped up.
In the end, Zhou Yang did not watch the ending of the movie, but left the screening room silently.
Movies can be realistic, but they cannot blindly vilify and conjecture, let alone deliberately cater to American tastes, right?
More than ten minutes later, amid bursts of applause and cheers, the premiere of "Fatal Crisis" ended successfully.
Zhao Sicheng was all smiles, and the performance of the fans at the scene made him very happy.
He even has a plan in mind. If the movie "Fatal Crisis" does well, then he is going to treat this movie as a series of movies and continue to shoot "Fatal Crisis 2".
"Dear Director Zhao, the movie you made is great!"
"It's very realistic, Director Zhao, really. I saw Fu Manchu. No, when I saw Fu Xia appear, my spine went cold and I felt a sense of fear, especially his smile. I didn't expect Huang Qiusheng
His acting skills are so good!"
"Director Zhao, congratulations, congratulations on the complete success of this movie. I think we can look forward to the box office on the first day!"
“I didn’t expect to see such a wonderful movie in January, it’s really good!”
"..."
He walked out of the screening room surrounded by people.
Some Hollywood celebrities who were accompanying him gave him a thumbs up and praised the movie "Fatal Crisis" with words.
Although he smiled naturally and did not get carried away, maintaining the modesty that a Chinese person should have, deep down he was already in a state of ecstasy.
He felt that he was going further and further on the road to becoming a great director in Hollywood. He was looking forward to the future, imagining everything in the future, and even thinking about becoming a great director like James Bunt...
"Some more people are coming out!"
"Yeah, which number is it now?"
"It seems like the tenth one!"
"Oh my God!"
Waves of discussion interrupted Zhao Sicheng's fantasy about the future.
Unknowingly, he walked to the screening room of "Saw", and then he saw several movie fans walking out of the screening room with very ugly faces. When they came to the trash can, one of them
He vomited on the spot.
He frowned.
Suddenly I discovered that the fans who came out of "Fatal Crisis" did not leave the screening room, but gathered around the door of "Saw", instinctively wanting to sneak in and see what was filmed inside...
……………………
The night of January 1st.
The snow in Los Angeles begins to melt under the sunshine.
The cold wind on the street is still very biting, and the biting chill seems to penetrate into the depths of people's souls, making them shiver constantly.
After the final screening, the controversy over the movie "Saw" began to ferment in an incredible manner on the Internet...
In particular, an article from the official media of "American Movie Daily" pushed the movie "Saw" to the forefront.
The title of the article is "Hundreds of viewers across the United States were frightened to death on the premiere day of 'Saw'"!
Netizens clicked on the title and looked at the content of the article.
The content of the article intercepted some photos from the premiere of "Saw", and under these photos described in detail the personal experiences of several people involved when watching "Saw".
"I was so excited that my heart was going to explode. Especially when I saw the barbed wire, I couldn't breathe. Later, I couldn't hear any sound and I lost consciousness..." From an American college student named Wendy
narration.
"I don't know when I fainted. I only know that the movie was very exciting. I have never seen such an exciting movie. When I woke up, I thought I was tied up in a dirty place.
In the bathroom, I struggled desperately, and later I found out that I was in the hospital..." A black guy from California covered his heart with emotion, and said with emotion: "It's good to be alive!"
"We in China don't have such a movie. I came all the way from China to the United States to watch this "Saw". My physical fitness is very good. Maybe it's because I stayed up late... I plan to watch it tomorrow.
Let’s go see a show!” A young man from China woke up in a hospital bed with very excited eyes.
"The content in the movie is too real, I can't imagine it..." A netizen from Rben who did not want to be named...
"..."
