After buying the movie tickets, the three of them came to their seats and waited to check in.
"Why did you think of watching this movie?" one of the people accompanying him asked.
"I was recommended by my classmates. They said this movie is very good-looking and very strong. They also said that the ending is amazing. So I couldn't hold back my curiosity and took you to watch it."
Another person said: "Jack, are you sure this movie is good? This is a Chinese movie..."
"What's wrong with Huaxia Film? Do you know who wrote this movie? It's Chen Mubai, who is also the screenwriter of "The Walking Dead" you watched!"
"It's him!?" the other two people said in surprise.
The three of them especially like to watch horror and bloody movies on weekdays, which is why Jack would ask the two of them to watch movies together.
In the class, when some colleagues were discussing the recent good movies, someone said that they saw a Chinese movie that was very good and recommended that everyone watch it.
At first, everyone scoffed. They didn’t think there was anything interesting about Chinese movies, especially bloody movies, so there was no need to watch them.
However, a few classmates heard that this movie was related to Chen Mubai. In addition, they had watched "Operation Red Sea" and "Nezha: The Devil Boy Comes into the World". These people thought it was pretty good, and some people recommended new movies, so they chose it.
Go take a look.
As a result, they watched the movie in full concentration without even going to the bathroom. After coming back, they began to recommend it to their classmates.
Jack chose to go to the cinema to watch this movie because of their recommendation.
"Yeah." Jack nodded.
"That should be a bit interesting."
Another person said: "Yes, some of the shots in "The Walking Dead" are not bad, I am a little interested."
While a few people were talking, the movie ticket checking started.
After they entered, they found that there were quite a few people in the venue. They found their seats and waited for the movie to start.
When the suspense at the beginning was thrown out, they found it quite interesting.
The case began to be told, the first person died in that game, a wire cage full of thorns, allowing a person to get through within one minute, otherwise he would die.
Everyone saw the fat man trying his best to get into the cage, and saw the iron wires scratching his skin, and the iron wires thickening the flesh, dripping with blood, and they couldn't help but tremble a little. This was too torturous!
Later, several cases one after another talked about Jigsaw's "game". The ways of death of those people were different, but they were all full of pain, which made everyone feel scary and a little novel at the same time.
There has never been a movie of this type. The death in each game is different, and it is very novel and unique.
Those bloody scenes also made them remember it, the flesh and blood bursting, the intestines on the ground...
These are all straightforward shots, very clear and very realistic.
Apart from these bloody scenes, the film's rhythm and reversal are also excellent and full of details.
In the end, they saw the male protagonist sawing off his own leg crazily and blood spurting out, which made many people feel leg pain.
The whole scene showed the scene of leg sawing, which greatly stimulated their psychological endurance.
Even the three Jacks, who like to watch bloody movies, find it a bit hard to bear...
In the past, when they watched bloody movies, they were able to see the bloody scenes just like the previous restricted scenes, but they would not be able to show the process in such a straightforward way.
That is to say, they can all see the result, but they cannot see the process of violence, and this movie deliberately shows this process, which will give everyone a feeling of personal participation, so the response will be greater.
The movie came to an end. When the "dead man" at the beginning stood up, the plot reached its climax, and the audience was stunned!
Everyone was deceived, but they didn't expect Jigsaw to complete all this right in front of them, and observed the performance of the two people!
No one could have guessed this shocking reversal. Everyone watching the movie gasped and marveled.
Finally, we saw the doctor put his leg on the steam pipe to stop the bleeding and disinfect it. Everyone was shocked when they saw it again. This is really a cruel person.
The doctor is taken away by Jigsaw and the movie ends.
"This movie...is really awesome!"
"Damn, what a great movie. Have Chinese movies reached this level already!?"
"I have always thought that Chinese movies are not good, but I was really slapped in the face today. This movie is great, I like it so much!"
"I must watch the sequel of this movie. The script written by Chen Mubai is great, but the actors performed well, and the director of this drama is not bad either. I hope to see a sequel."
After the movie ended, the three Jacks praised "Saw" crazily.
"I will recommend it to my classmates when I get back!" Jack said excitedly.
"Me too, I recommend it to my friends!"
"No gore movie lovers will enjoy watching this movie, I'm sure!"
This is just a phenomenon. After "Saw" was released in the United States, the film schedule was not high and the number of moviegoers was not high.
However, with the quality of word-of-mouth, the reports of film critics and self-media people who have watched the movie, and Mubai Entertainment's promotion, the movie has become more and more popular, and the number of people watching the movie has also increased.
"Saw" instantly became a hit in the United States. Within half a month of its release, the number of moviegoers and box office were rising in a straight line. The quality and reputation of the movie were also very popular!
When everyone learned that the editor of this film was Chen Mubai, they once again admired his talent!
Mubai Entertainment is once again famous. Several movies have done very well, and this movie may become the best one. It has already taken in 20 million US dollars at the box office within half a month of its release!
At present, the popularity is still rising, the number of moviegoers has not dropped significantly, and the box office prospects are very good.
...
Jack was in class the next day and recommended "Saw" to his classmates.
"Really, it's very beautiful!" Jack was chatting with a few classmates and said, "I'm not going to lie to you, I just went to see it yesterday. It was very exciting. You wouldn't have guessed the ending until you saw it at the end!"
"real?"
"I never lie to people. It's not like you don't know that the plot is very clever. If you like the style of "The Walking Dead", you can go see this movie. You will definitely not be disappointed!"
"I didn't expect you to be the one who brags about Chen Mubai's works."
"Since you highly recommend it, I will go and watch it. This movie seems to be very popular recently. As a Chinese movie, it can be praised by so many people. There are also many related topics on the Internet, so there should be something to it~"
"Hey, Jack!" A black guy came to Jack and said, "Since you praise Chen Mubai so much, why don't you watch his movies?"
"What movie?" Jack looked at the black guy in confusion.
"Don't you know? Chen Mubai's company just released the movie "I'm Not the God of Medicine," which he directed and starred in. He is also the screenwriter."
"If you had told me this before, I wouldn't have necessarily watched it, but after watching "Saw", I was really impressed by his talent. I think his movies should be pretty good. If I had the chance, I would
Went to see it." Jack said.
"That movie seems to have received a good response. I saw some entertainment news reports and it's very popular in China." The black man said.
"Is the movie out yet?" Jack asked.
"No, it's only half a month away. It was said to be released in the United States and China at the same time, but it was screened in advance in China, so it has a good reputation."
The black man wondered: "Could it be that he bought the popularity? He wanted to show it here but was afraid that there would be no box office, so he paid someone to promote it?"
"Who knows..."
Jack did not deny this possibility. After all, he only admired Chen Mubai's works and did not understand his personality, and this situation could indeed happen.
"Then I can wait and see. Anyway, if the movie is released here, someone will know about its quality." Jack smiled.
When Jack learned about the movie that day, he didn't take it seriously. It was still half a month before it was released, and he wasn't going to watch it right away. He was waiting for the movie's reputation here to be released before making a decision.
But he didn't expect that when he came to school again the next day, more people were discussing the movie.
He was surprised how everyone knew about it overnight, and then he learned that it turned out that many entertainment news reports were reporting on the upcoming release of the movie and promoting the movie at the same time!
There was overwhelming publicity, with many news articles reporting on China's film reviews and audience response, as well as photos of the screenings. The venue was packed, all seats were packed, and the event was unprecedented.
Everyone is also confused by this situation. The publicity is too strong...
However, the effect is obvious. Many people know about this movie. At the same time, because of "Saw", many people have a little expectation for "I'm Not the God of Medicine".
No way, Chen Mubai has produced several excellent works in the United States, such as "Prison Break", "The Walking Dead", "Saw", "Nezha: The Devil Boy Comes to the World"...
These are film and television audiences, not including fans of albums and dances. There are many of these groups. When they learn that Chen Mubai’s work comes out, they will support it.
Without him, it's because Chen Mubai's talent is so outstanding that they were curious about his works and tried them. They were not disappointed. His works are indeed great and his personal talent is unparalleled.
In this case, Jack also realized that maybe this kind of word-of-mouth was not bought, but maybe it was the heartfelt praise of the audience.
For example, "Saw" had little fanfare before it was released here, but after watching the movie, he felt it was very good. When he went home, he searched for relevant news and movie interpretations, and he saw some self-media news reprinted in China.
The evaluation of this movie, as well as the audience's attitude, are exactly the same as they are now.
Moreover, according to the photos of the packed screenings, it can be seen that the audience is very enthusiastic. In order to meet the requirements of movie fans, China has specially added a number of screenings, all of which were a hit.
It would be unrealistic to have so many viewers who watched the premiere give the movie such a high reputation. It can only be because the quality of the movie is too high, so the audience praised it, otherwise it would be unreasonable.
...
China.
Since Mubai Entertainment announced that it would increase the number of premieres, everyone's enthusiasm for buying tickets has not diminished.
The media will have a group of viewers who have watched the movie, and they will be involved in the discussion of the movie again. Everyone's comments are similar to before, they are still praising it, and a very few think the movie is bad.
Half a month passed suddenly. During this period, the popularity of "I Am Not the God of Medicine" was very high in both China and the United States. The United States was completely spending money on it, just to maintain the popularity of the movie.
However, the effect is obvious. Whether it is because of the popularity, curiosity about the movie, or because of expectations for Chen Mubai's other works, many American audiences have become interested in "I'm Not the God of Medicine" during this period. Everyone wants to watch it.
Take a look at this movie with such crazy promotion.
By this time, "Saw" had already been released, and eventually earned a box office of US$70 million in North America, becoming the highest-grossing film among all Mubai Entertainment movies!
The investment in this movie is not large, and it can be considered a typical example of making a big difference with a small amount. This narrative method, rhythm, and reversal have been praised by many American film critics, and the audience also talks about it.
This transformational movie was "lackluster" at the box office in China, but it exploded in the American market, where audiences liked the movie even more.
This was a great success, and everyone at Mubai Entertainment was very excited. Because of the movie's box office, many people became interested in "I'm Not the God of Medicine."
"Saw" finally grossed a total of 120 million U.S. dollars at the global box office excluding China!
Now, the long-awaited movie "I'm Not the God of Medicine" is fully premiering!
