The post-production of "Seven Deadly Sins" is in full swing.
Li Yi had the original version as a reference, but he had no intention of changing it this time. After all, the original version was already excellent.
However, because technology is more advanced, the new version of "Seven Deadly Sins" will be better in quality.
Chen Wen, Li Yi's friends in the industry, were also very curious and interested in this movie. Therefore, after setting a time for the film viewing party, Li Yi sent them an invitation to come and have a sneak peek.
"Seven Deadly Sins" will have a lot of bloody crime scenes, but in Hollywood there is no mosaic, so in terms of ratings, Li Yi was worried that it would be rated NC-17.
Fortunately, Dean Films is also a member of the MPAA.
Therefore, "Seven Deadly Sins" was finally rated R after some slight adjustments.
If it's lower, it's unlikely. In fact, it doesn't matter, because "Seven Deadly Sins" is not a family movie in the first place, and it is definitely aimed at more adult audiences.
So R rating is enough.
Time flies by, and when you are busy, it is always difficult to notice the passage of time.
Until the official completion of "Seven Deadly Sins"!
It is relatively easy to promote a movie like "Seven Deadly Sins", and Li Yi is now a top-tier director in Hollywood, and this movie can be considered a "feature", so step-by-step promotion is enough.
In fact, most of the time, many big productions rarely use any innovative publicity models because they really don't need them.
The audience base required by a big production is not comparable to that of a small-budget movie. The promotion of this kind of movie is basically just two words: spend money!
Even if you find another way, you still have to spend money.
In fact, for a movie like "Seven Deadly Sins", publicity after its release is actually more critical.
Back to business.
Dean Pictures naturally attaches great importance to "Seven Deadly Sins".
In fact, the number of people watching movies at large-scale movie screenings is usually no smaller than that of ordinary movie theaters, because they want to get more and higher film schedules, although Dean Films is also one of the six largest movies in Hollywood.
But after all, they are one of them. They may be able to suppress them when facing independent film companies, but for other companies of the same six majors, everyone must play according to the rules.
Although it can be said that the Big Six occupies an absolute dominant position between the Big Six of Hollywood and the theater chains, everything still has to follow the rules.
Dean Films internal screening room.
It can only be said that it is worthy of being one of the top six. The conditions of the internal screening room of Dean Films are no worse than those of those movie theaters.
"Do you really want to be the king of suspense?" Chen Wen, Zhou Guo and others also rushed over. In fact, they would have waited until the premiere, but they couldn't stand it. They were really interested in this movie.
It's curiosity.
"Not to mention, if this movie becomes a hit again, you will definitely be known as the King of Suspense!" Chu Xuexiang said with a smile.
Welcoming a group of domestic friends, as for the theater representatives, people from Dean Films were naturally responsible for the reception, so Li Yi didn't need to do these things at all.
"Speaking of which, as directors, how do you feel when you watch the movies you made?" Chu Xuexiang suddenly asked.
"I don't feel anything. What you are watching is a movie, but I am actually watching you." Li Yi said with a smile.
When he directs his own films, it can be said that he knows all the details of the film. Naturally, he doesn't feel anything when watching it again. No matter how good the film is, you will get tired of it after watching it countless times.
However, as Li Yi said, the fun of being a director is that if you are sitting in a movie theater, you can watch the audience's reaction.
For example, Li Yi sometimes pays attention to the details of the foreshadowing, whether the audience has noticed it, or how the audience will react to some turning points?
Of course, different types of movies will definitely have different reactions from the audience.
For example, the audience's reaction will definitely be completely different from the previous sensational and tear-jerking movies made by Li Yi, and the current suspense thriller "Seven Deadly Sins".
Soon everyone was almost there.
The movie is also ready to start showing.
There is nothing much to say at the beginning of the movie. The old black police detective Summerser dressed up as usual and went to the scene of the crime.
Through his conversation with his colleagues, he explained his upcoming retirement.
The case was not a bizarre case, it was just a very ordinary case. Two people had a quarrel, and then in a rage, they pulled out a gun and shot.
However, the main color of the movie here is dark, and the aisles are cramped and narrow. My colleague said that the case can be closed with just a report.
But Samose discovered the details, and the incident was witnessed by a child!
Colleagues were very unhappy with Samose's "meddling" and said he always liked to ask such questions.
"You are almost retired, why do you ask this kind of question? Who cares?"
"If a wife kills her husband, she will die. The rest has nothing to do with us!" The colleague obviously didn't want to get into trouble.
From the conversation between the two, they have actually explained different styles. To the colleague, the case is clear and simple. Just make a report and it will be over. However, he has to mention that he was seen by a child, which is tantamount to asking for trouble.
.
Of course, it can also be said that his heart is not cold enough!
At this time, young detective Mills trotted upstairs.
He is new here, just arrived!
The two of them walked down the building where the crime was found. It was raining outside!
Samose was very curious: "When I called you, I had a question, why do you come here?"
"You desperately want to be transferred here, but I still can't figure it out!"
Mills rubbed his hair: "The reason is the same as yours, just like your ambition before retirement!"
But Samoset didn't accept his trick, because they didn't even know each other. At this time, many viewers were guessing whether, like other similar movies, Mills came for a certain case?
The first meeting between the two was not pleasant, of course, not unpleasant.
Old police detective Somerset asked him to listen more and watch more!
Although Mills accepted it, he also showed his young and unruly side, saying that although you make the decision here, I am not determined!
Mills worked in the homicide bureau for five years!
But the old police detective didn't care: "Not here, do me a favor, and you will remember my words for the next seven days!"
Mills seemed a little unconvinced.
One old and one young, their personalities are obviously completely opposite.
The old police detective does not seem so indifferent, but in fact, attentive viewers will find that although he raised questions, he did not solve them.
Of course, through the words of his colleagues, you can also tell that this is not the first time he has done this!
And Mills obviously came here with great ambitions. He said: I am not a doorkeeper!
When the camera turned, Samosei was lying alone on the bed, taking off his glasses and slowly falling asleep.
The difference is that Mills has a beautiful and loving wife.
The phone rang early in the morning.
If a murder occurs, notify him to go directly to the scene!
When we left the house, it was still raining.
Moreover, it rained harder than yesterday. Mills offered Samos a cup of coffee, but was rejected.
The two came to the crime scene together.
The audience in the screening hall became energetic, the case was coming!
On the way to the crime scene, my colleagues talked about the case.
"I didn't touch anything. His face was buried in the noodles and soaked for forty-five minutes..."
Mills asked: "Didn't he check his breathing?"
"I told you, he's dead unless he breathes the noodle sauce as air!"
Although the deceased has not been seen yet, the simple description makes the audience unable to help but become curious. Will they drown themselves in noodles?
"So, this is how your bureau handles cases?" Mills was obviously not used to it, or was dissatisfied with the detective's description.
"I'm sorry, but he was soaked in a pile of feces and urine. If he wasn't a dead person, who could bear it?" the police officer at the scene explained.
During this period, Samosa, the old police detective, said nothing.
Soon, the two arrived at the scene. The room was very dark, and the old police detective was flashlighting.
"I don't understand, why do you ask so many questions?" Samose asked while putting on rubber gloves.
"I don't know, but they often treat living people as dead bodies!" Mills said casually.
Entering the scene of the death, two TVs were on, the bedside lamp was on, a basin was placed next to the bed, and cockroaches were everywhere on the floor.
"Notify Guinness World Records that this man has broken the world record for obesity!" Samose said in an understatement while squatting there.
Obviously, he had seen too much, but Mills seemed a little bored. He scratched his chest, and then the camera was illuminated by the flashlight, and the victim finally appeared on the big screen.
Although it was just the back, the fat ball-like figure still made the audience widen their eyes.
And just like the police officer said before, he buried his head in the basin.
"Who said it was murder?" Mills asked.
"No one said anything!" Samose raised his head and said.
"His heart was as big as a can of ham. If he wasn't having a heart attack, he didn't know what was!" Mills said.
Samose took the flashlight and continued to survey the scene without saying a word. Finally, the light of the flashlight stopped on the big fat man's feet. His hands and feet were tied.
Under the light of the flashlight, the environment here is shown, all of which are food!
All kinds of food, of course, have gone bad, and Xiaoqiang passes by from time to time.
Mills kept talking, and finally Samose raised his head in dissatisfaction and said: "Please be quiet!"
He was looking at the back of the deceased's head.
At this time, Mills also noticed something was wrong. There was a bucket under the table. As a result, he got in and took a look and almost vomited.
Because that bucket was filled with this “dead” fat man’s vomit!
At this time, the forensic doctor came in and said with a smile that it was too crowded and the forensic doctor couldn't even squeeze in.
Somerset asked Mills to ask the fat man's neighbors, which made Mills very dissatisfied.
But Samose made the decision here, and he could only obey.
The forensic doctor raised the fat man's head and said, "He's dead!"
After returning from the murder scene, the old and young police detectives shared a car back to the police station. This separate scene was also intended to strengthen the relationship between the two. The car was a closed space and it was raining heavily outside. The atmosphere was very depressing.
In this way, the two people have a unique smell of gunpowder when they quarrel.
In this car scene, the backgrounds outside the window of the two police detectives are also different. The background outside the window of the old police detective is relatively monotonous, but the background of Mills's window is flashing with neon lights.
This also represents the current situation of the two of them. One is an old agent who is about to retire and is alone, while the other is in his prime and is full of ambition.
When he saw the body at the coroner's office, Mills was shocked. The fat man was so fat that it took four people to lift it!
He couldn't help but complain: "How can this fat man squeeze out of the gate?"
Samose shook his head and said: "Nonsense, obviously he never leaves home!"
Returning to the police chief's office, Samose analyzed the case: "The murderer prepared a bucket and kept feeding him. The murderer was so patient. The coroner said he probably fed him for twelve hours!"
"He kept eating until he passed out, so the murderer kicked him until his stomach burst!"
Mills said leisurely: "What a sadist!"
"Killing should be clean and tidy, why take the risk and take so long? Unless there is other meaning!" Samose said.
The director obviously didn't like this answer: "It doesn't make much sense. The fat man just offended someone, so he was tortured. It's that simple!"
But Samose said: "There are two receipts in the clothing bag, which proves that the murderer paused in the middle and went to the supermarket to purchase again!"
"So what?" The director disagreed, and then looked at Mills.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "This is his case! I was caught in the rain all day!" Mills shrugged.
"This is just the beginning!" Samose said seriously.
"Only one died, not three!" The director didn't think so.
"But the motive is unknown!" Samose insisted.
"Don't be so smart, please!" The director obviously didn't think so, or in other words, he didn't want it to be like this.
"I want to take on another case!" Samose said.
"What did you say?" The director was very dissatisfied.
"I don't want to retire without solving the case. This case will never be solved!" Samose said.
"You will leave in six days. There have been unfinished cases before!" The director tried to persuade Samose.
"But those cases were all closed with a passing conclusion!" Samose said, and suddenly he paused: "Don't let him take this case as soon as he comes!"
His words made the ambitious Mills very angry, because in his opinion, he was not a newcomer!
But Samose continued: "It's too fast for him!"
"You are insulting me to my face!"
"It's not time for you yet!"
Mills wanted to have a private chat with the director, but the director told him to shut up. Apparently the director valued Somerset more than Mills.
He insisted that Samose continue to handle the case, and Samose had no choice but to take it.
When the camera turned, it was already Tuesday. At the newsstand on the street, the newspaper hanging had the headline: "Lawyer Murdered!"
It was all in the newspapers, and many media reporters came after hearing the news.
Mills arrives at the crime scene.
Apparently this case was assigned to him!
An English word written in blood was left at the scene: Greed! (Greed!)
The glasses frame of the lawyer's solo photo was also painted with blood.
