At the premiere, facing the audience's accusations and comments, compared to Yi Feiyang's calmness, other actors, including veteran actor Max, had extremely nervous expressions. This was the first time they had seen
The full version of the movie, when I heard the comments from the audience below, they were also very anxious...
As Yi Feiyang's apprentice, James Wan also didn't quite understand why the master didn't edit the play faster. Although dialogue between characters like this is very important, there is no need to be so tedious.
In fact, in the previous life, the movie version edited by James Wan had a much faster pace than Yi Feiyang's, and it was really not as "verbose" as Yi Feiyang's.
But they had no idea that Yi Feiyang did this on purpose. When editing this opening clip, Yi Feiyang read the works of a well-known American horror psychology expert, which discussed how the terror index can be continuously improved and how to guide this
The feeling of terror is overwhelming, and experts give this explanation.
When you open your eyes and see a ferocious-looking dead body, your terror index may be 47; when you open your eyes and after an interval of three minutes, you suddenly see a ferocious-looking dead body, your terror index may be
That’s 57. When you listen to soft music, lie in bed comfortably, open your eyes and become familiar with the safe environment around you, and then suddenly see a hideous-looking dead body, your terror index may reach 87!
After Yi Feiyang finished reading this article, he made a decision to slow down the rhythm of this clip so that the audience would relax and their brains would lose vigilance after watching it, and then...
On the big screen, with the memories of the character played by Ray Woerner, the plot suddenly changed 180 degrees, and the audience's enthusiasm was also lifted.
"Wow, this is interesting!"
"Yes, the plot has just begun!"
“Looking forward to more exciting things to come!”
The audience was thinking secretly in their hearts.
The lens constantly cuts and switches between memories and reality.
Soon, the unlucky guy was locked in an iron cage, with a recording of the mysterious killer playing next to him, and the audience became nervous for him. As the game time arrived, the person in the cage had not yet gotten the key, and as the movie
With the soundtrack, he was tearing at the barbed wire crazily, gradually turning into a bloody man until he died.
"Oh, God!"
"Oh my goodness!"
The shouts seemed to spread like a virus, and the audience, whose faces began to turn pale, shouted louder and louder. The female audience members who had been suppressing it forcibly relaxed when they heard such frightened shouts from all around them.
Invariably, they started screaming in front of a certain death mechanism screen!
At first, there were only one or two people screaming, then three or four people, and slowly the number of people increased, one after another!
In fact, watching a horror movie in the cinema and screaming loudly is a very "hearty" enjoyment.
If you have ever screamed like this in a movie theater, you will understand the pleasure of a collective exclamation.
It's like a large group of people are playing a roller coaster, close to death, but not alone!
Yes, we are a large group of people, we are not afraid even if death comes!
Yes, we are a big group of people, even if the devil on the screen comes out, we are not afraid!
This very subtle psychological suggestion makes watching horror movies in the cinema a kind of nerve massage-like enjoyment.
Your nerves are tense and relaxed, rhythmically playing a terrifying movement. This is the fundamental reason why horror movies are so popular.
Besides, at this moment, there were dozens of screaming girls in the entire cinema, making other men shrink back awkwardly. Occasionally, a few timid men would not even care about their face and would scream along with the girls.
"Ahhhh!!!"
"Oh, God, oh!"
All kinds of irrepressible exclamations, all kinds of shouts of excitement and fear, came and went.
Normally, boys are willing to take girls to watch horror movies, just to watch the girls scream in fear and then get into their arms, but "Saw" is completely different. When those girls are white-faced
When they got into their arms, the boys had no intention of taking advantage of the opportunity. They just hugged the girl tightly, as if they were the tortured people in the movie. They were nervous and helpless. They just stared at the screen and threw away this great opportunity.
To the end of the night!
The reason why this happens is due to Yi Feiyang's superb editing skills. The reason why the Oscars set up an award for "Best Editing" is very simple. Editing is very important and affects the life and death of a film.
If what the director shoots are all clips and shots, then the editor should combine these clips and shots to tell a beautiful story.
The key to whether a story can be told wonderfully is whether it can involve the audience!
Yes, it’s a sense of immersion!
Regarding the explanation of the sense of substitution, Yi Feiyang’s understanding is that when he plays the edited clip three times and is still affected by it, it means that the sense of substitution is very strong. On the contrary, if he watches it once, he will not want to watch it.
So, too bad, let’s just pass it.
It is this intensity brought into the editing that allows Yi Feiyang's "Saw" to capture the hearts of all viewers, allowing them to put themselves in the role of the character. For example, the protagonist on the screen is enduring the torture of the machine. The audience watching
It will also produce psychological "pain". This kind of pain cannot be seen or touched, but it is very torturous.
On the big screen, the video played second by second, with the shots constantly changing, followed by two consecutive killings in the game. The audience was deeply shocked, and their breathing became much faster. It seemed that they were very depressed.
In particular, the scene where the protagonist "Asman" took the key from the belly of the deceased in order to survive, and the body's organs were fully displayed with blood, which made some viewers' tolerance suddenly collapse. Yi Feiyang actually heard
There were several sounds of vomiting in the theater.
The biggest difference between North American horror movies and Eastern horror movies is the horrific treatment of the images.
Oriental horror films, including Japanese horror, Korean horror, and Thai horror films, all focus on portraying the horror psychology of characters. The representative work is "The Ring", which shows the kind of depression that is hidden deep in everyone's heart.
Horror is the essence of psychological horror. This kind of movie will make you shudder when you think about it after watching it.
The previous "Ghost Story" filmed by Yi Feiyang actually focused on this type of psychological horror film.
North American horror films like to make fuss about the pictures and scenes. Blood and flesh flying everywhere, broken limbs and broken arms are indispensable. Blood plasma and unappetizing blurry scenes of flesh and blood are the most important aspects of North American horror films.
Ring. For example, in "The Exorcist", the lawnmower cuts through the zombies, blood flows into a river, and the remaining limbs and arms fly across the classic scene, and in "The Exorcist", the little girl opens her mouth and squirts green juice, turning her head 180 degrees
Horrifying images...
As a veteran, Yi Feiyang is well aware of the different "aesthetic" perspectives between North American audiences and Eastern audiences on horror films. Therefore, he followed the trend and made a lot of blood and flesh.
It is now obvious that these scenes he shot had a very good "vomiting" effect, which greatly challenged the physiological limits of the audience.
However, Yi Feiyang is still very humane. He knows that doing too much of this kind of scenes will make people uncomfortable and needs to be adjusted properly. Therefore, in such a compact and terrifying plot, a cheerful gun battle is just the right thing to do.
appeared, allowing the audience to relax. Watching the slow-motion warheads flying in the air, it was incredible. The audience spontaneously applauded. They thought to themselves: It turns out that gun battles can be filmed like this.
Those viewers who had watched "The Matrix" before laughed and said, "Isn't this the 'Bullet Time' in that movie? It turns out that China's Yi also copied this essence."
However, as soon as these words came out, they were immediately refuted by people around them, "That's wrong, man, it's not that China Yi plagiarized "The Matrix", but "The Matrix" plagiarized China Yi's "Saving Female Soldier Rachel"!"
Another person nearby testified, "Yes, if you saw the sharpshooter shooting in that movie..."
On the big screen, the gunfight scene in "Saw" did not linger for too long. After this relaxed atmosphere of camera scheduling, bloody and terrifying scenes appeared again, and one after another so sophisticated and chilling killing mechanisms appeared one after another.
, flesh and blood flying everywhere, mutilated limbs everywhere, the only sound in the cinema was the heavy and nervous breathing of the audience, and the screams of the audience facing the death scene. The impact of this movie on their minds was like a tornado that swept everything.
!
Kill kill kill!!!
Blood blood blood!!!
Flesh and blood, flying everywhere!
Let everyone be at the limit of the death mechanism!
Anne Hathaway, who was beside Yi Feiyang, held Yi Feiyang's hand tightly with her hands. Her nails had already sunk into Yi Feiyang's flesh as the horror of the plot unfolded.
Yi Feiyang was in some pain, but he didn't let her let go of her hand. On the contrary, he put his shoulder close to Hathaway, giving her support.
Hathaway didn't dare to look at those horrific scenes anymore. Cold sweat broke out on her pale face. But she still insisted on keeping her eyes open... because this was Yi Feiyang's work, the work of her beloved man, and she wanted to finish it.
Yes, definitely!
"You better not watch the next scene, Annie!" After Yi Feiyang finished speaking, he gently leaned her head on his shoulder, and then covered her eyes with his hands...
Anne had a clear understanding with him, and she understood that the following scene would be even more thrilling and horrifying.
Sure enough, when the camera showed Dr. Gordon screaming and desperately using a saw to cut his own leg, the audience felt chills from the bottom of their hearts and their calves had cramps. They were left idle and beaten by the trembling people.
The popcorn was turned one after another.
Audience members held their heads and covered their eyes, audience members shrank timidly, audience members burst into screams from time to time, and many people even tightly grasped the hands of strangers next to them, holding themselves together with others.
It hurts from being pinched!
Anne Hathaway leaned against Yi Feiyang, her eyes covered by Yi Feiyang's hands. She couldn't see the horrific images on the screen, but she could hear the chilling screams around her...
She hid in the safe haven that Yi Feiyang created for her. There was nothing to be afraid of. Yes, there was only the faint smell of tobacco from his body and his strong and powerful heartbeat. Anne could not help but count the rhythmic beats of the man next to her.
My heart beat once, twice, three times... I completely forgot where I was and what I was doing.
…
As time went by, when the scene came to the last part, when the "Saw" played by Max stood up from a pool of blood, all the audience had goosebumps, and there was a burst of music in the cinema that was overwhelming even with the huge music.
There was a constant gasping sound.
Countless anxious spectators stood up and looked at the big screen in horror and disbelief. They never thought that the guy who had died in the secret room with his head blown off turned out to be...
This kind of reversal ending is the most commonly used technique in many movies and short films, especially in Hitchcock's movies.
The biggest advantage of this kind of debut is...it will definitely make you unimaginable!
On the big screen, with everyone stunned, "Jigsaw" played by Max took off the silicone prosthetic skin on his head, revealing a face that surprised everyone... He looked weak and indifferent
, walked out of the gate step by step, and said lightly at the gate: "The game... is over!'
Just such a sentence, just such a shot of showing one's face, countless people were frightened and fell back to their seats, some were so frightened that they fell into a gourd rolling on the ground, and some even picked up the popcorn that they had not eaten for a long time and just wanted to take a bite.
Jian's face was so frightened that his hands trembled, and a bowl full of popcorn poured over the head and face of the man in front of him!
The guy who had popcorn dumped on his head was even more unexpected. His eyes were twitching, and he subconsciously picked up the popcorn and stuffed it into his mouth. With a stiff face, he said indifferently, "Oh God."
, he is Jian Saw! Yes, he is! Madman, he is a madman!"
It can be said that the Hitchcockian "surprise" ending designed by Yi Feiyang aroused goosebumps in many moviegoers. The audience present has never been so eager to go to the theater.
The lights turn on quickly.
Yes, they need light and the guidance of light to drive away the terrible darkness around them and in their hearts!
On the big screen, subtitles finally appeared, and the original dull tone began to turn into a clear cast list... The explosive rock music sounded, hitting all the numb hearts, making people feel that they were still alive and not scared to death.
.
But the movie ended, and for a whole minute, no one left, and no one spoke. They all just opened their mouths, replaying those unforgettable scenes in their hearts, and their hearts were filled with incomparable shock!
Silence!
The whole cinema was eerily silent!
It wasn't until the lights were completely bright for a long time that someone slowly stood up from their seats. Only then did they realize that their backs were almost soaked without even realizing it. With such a realistic shooting technique, it was still possible to
The compact progression of the plot makes everyone watching the movie feel like they are personally involved in the game.
Not long after, the cinema suddenly erupted in enthusiastic applause and loud whistles like waves washing up on the shore.
At this moment, the whole cinema burst into a frenzy of applause, so loud and neat, so touching!
Applause, applause!
Except applause, still applause!!!
"China Yi, you are so great!"
"God, can you give me your signature?"
"I adore you, Yi!"
"I love you, Yi!"
…
Yi Feiyang fully knows that the reason why horror movies are successful is that when watching horror movies, people are not really afraid, but are excited about the plot of the movie. They are willing to endure this kind of fear, and after the story is over, they enjoy the feeling of fear.
The feeling of relief.
Now, all the audience were excited and cheering for him. They crowded forward crazily. Chaos began in the theater, but Yi Feiyang, who was at the center of the chaos, had already been hugged by the actors of "Saw".
Express your inner excitement.
"Director, have you seen it? We succeeded, we succeeded!"
The guys were shouting and roaring until their voices were almost hoarse, but they were still inexplicably excited. At this moment, no words could express their feelings.
After two weeks of hard work, nightmarish shooting, and obsessive acting, everyone dedicated themselves to this drama and director Yi Feiyang!
They have nothing to ask for, they have nothing to aim for, their only hope is to get applause and recognition from the audience.
Now, the applause rang out, earth-shattering!
For them, for the crew, for this show!
Tears welled up in the eyes of this large group of men, including Max, who was in his sixties!
Men, it’s not a sin to cry!
…
The applause was like thunder, and the sound echoed in the theater, shaking Yi Feiyang's eardrums. He was also fully infected. When he saw all the audiences obsessed, stimulated, and shouting for the film he wrote, directed, and designed,
I couldn't help but feel a sense of pride in my heart, and of course I was even more excited.
Only on such occasions did Yi Feiyang realize what is the highest honor of being a director!
Not the Oscars, not the Academy Awards, but the people in front of you who love you!!
"Yi, you succeeded!" Anne Hathaway said softly to Yi Feiyang. Just when Yi Feiyang was about to say something to her, Max, who was bursting with tears, pushed Yi Feiyang and said: "Director, come up and say a few words.
, everyone is waiting!”
Yes, I should go up and say something at this time.
Yi Feiyang nodded, and came to the front desk surrounded by people, bit his lips, and said heavily: "I'm very happy."
Crackling, as soon as these words came to the ground, there was a burst of applause like a rainstorm.
Yi Feiyang smiled, God, I just said a word, there is no need for you guys to be so excited.
"Like you, I am very excited right now. I have said that this drama is like my son. It is a horror film without any cuts. Its birth was full of twists and turns, and it unites our entire crew.
Everyone's efforts! Yes, without Max, without Ray Warner, without Dante Seaton, without anyone in the crew, this drama would not have been so successful! So, it is us
The son of all men!”
Yi Feiyang's voice is loud, loud and deafening.
Crackling, torrential applause sounded again.
Old Max and others kept wiping their tears, then looked at Yi Feiyang on the stage with tearful eyes, and clapped their hands violently.
"Finally, I want to thank you, the audience, who have always liked me and supported me. It was you who gave me the courage to film this drama. Thank you!"
No one expected that Yi Feiyang on the stage only said these two short paragraphs, while the other directors had long speeches!
Seeing Yi Feiyang, President Raymond of Paramount, and Gusta of Lionsgate Pictures, who were surrounded by enthusiastic audiences asking for autographs and photos, asking for a few more words, they looked at each other with a look in their eyes.
The meaning is self-evident, this Chinese Yi has succeeded again!
Yes, Yi Feiyang succeeded!
In this huge theater, at this moment, he is the most shining star!
…
In the theater, Yi Feiyang was surrounded by enthusiastic fans. A white girl wanted to take a photo with him. However, Yi Feiyang had no choice but to nod in agreement.
The girl jumped to his side like a sparrow and held his arm. Just when Yi Feiyang thought that this posture was enough, the camera flashed and the girl kissed him passionately on the cheek!
Yi Feiyang was stunned!
Bang! The camera captured this scene.
The stunned Chinese Yi, a naughty white girl, is very interesting.
Everyone found it interesting, but Anne Hathaway on the side felt very...jealous.
Yes, she is jealous.
She always thought that she was a very open-minded girl, and thought that she could handle any interaction between Yi Feiyang and movie fans. But she didn't expect that what she was thinking in her heart could not represent reality. When she saw the white girl
When she kissed Yi Feiyang, her heart felt sour, like a squeezed lemon.
In addition, Hathaway was also worried that the fans in the future would follow the same example, but soon her "worry" became a reality. When other female fans saw that they could have such "close contact" with their idols, they immediately became
Everyone surrounded Yi Feiyang and asked for a cool intimate group photo.
Yi Feiyang couldn't laugh or cry, but the others around him were envious. Why didn't such a beautiful blessing fall on him?
But soon, everyone no longer envied Yi Feiyang's romantic encounter. The female fans pestered Yi Feiyang for two hours before reluctantly leaving after the theater staff forcibly cleared the theater.
The crazy movie fans left, and reporters with long guns and short guns swarmed in to conduct intense interviews.
At this time, Yi Feiyang was already very tired. If possible, he would really like to take a good bath and sleep.
However, he still accepted interviews with these reporters with a smile.
You know, before a movie is released, you must take advantage of the opportunity to build momentum. This is how Hollywood is. If you are dumb, you will only miss the opportunity; if you offend these reporters, you will only cause trouble for your future. (To be continued.)
