Chapter 399 The Sequel Is Released

It took another three days to confirm all the cast members of "Prison Break".

Its basic pattern is also a lineup of old and new.

Like a perverted murderer who tests his acting skills, it is still played by Robert Knepper and the gangster played by Peter Stormare.

During this period of time, Lehmann was exhausted just by advancing the preparatory work of the crew.

On the contrary, he was about to enter the shooting stage, but he was suddenly idle.

The various affairs of the crew were successfully entrusted to several directors.

Since Lehmann joined Lismanwish Films, the development of his company has only recovered slightly, but the general trend is not more harmonious than before, and it can even be said to be far from it.

Due to the separation of powers, Lyman intervened in the production of TV series again, and was regarded by Charles as an ambitious person who would do anything to attack himself. There are many people in the company waiting to see his jokes.

However, Lehman still pushed his own plan step by step.

To be honest, with Lehman's current advantage, it is definitely more profitable to make movies than to make TV series.

The capital turnover rate is also faster.

But in order to acquire Lismanwish Films very well, he still had to devote himself to this line, and even spent a lot of energy to personally supervise the production of the first film.

When the distribution channel is won, the film and television empire section in Lehmann's mind will only be left with overseas distribution channels and his own voice channel TV network or news media newspapers.

This is not urgent, and there is no need to be urgent.

Let's go step by step.

......

......

Time to enter September.

Paramount also stepped up the final wave of the announcement.

Compared to the last premiere of "Saw", the internal preview of its sequel went very smoothly.

Paramount did not spend much speech at all, and obtained a lot of resources from major theater companies in North America.

There are 400 more theaters than the previously estimated 2,200 theaters, and the screen size has remained at around 2,600.

In addition, many chain theater companies have promised that the film arrangement on the opening day will not be less than 20%.

As the most mature commercial film market in the world, they certainly have their own set of calculations for a film's market potential evaluation criteria.

Saw 2 continues the creepy familiar style of its predecessor and is sure to be beloved by cult fans.

Moreover, the potential audience accumulated from the previous work is hyped up, and if the quality itself is not bad. This is the point that attracts the audience easily.

In the last few days before the release, a lot of money has been poured down.

The momentum of pre-screening publicity is very strong. Although Shirley Lansing is a little bit reluctant to respond to Lehmann, she still attaches great importance to the profits she gets.

Newspapers, magazines, radio, talk shows and outdoor hard-broadcasts make it easy to find news about the upcoming release of Saw 2.

Is it publicity, its popularity is completely proportional to the investment funds.

In the same period, the competitors are not very important.

For example, Searchlight Pictures, a subsidiary label acquired by 20th Century Fox, will release a feature-length feature film "Walking Side by Side" about the friendship of urban youth.

There is also the Columbia release of the low-budget thriller "Puzzle."

In contrast, Disney's "Princess Diaries 2", which has been in theaters for two weeks, may be more threatening.

You know, when Anne Hathaway was young, her appearance was really good, not to mention that this is also a big hit sequel, and the total North American box office has exceeded 120 million.

Many media exclaimed Anne Hathaway's market appeal.

Disney Coke is miserable. They didn't expect that an old-fashioned story could get so much at the box office.

On September 7th, all film copies released by Paramount were admitted, and the screening of "Chainsaw 2" also kicked off.

......

Santa Monica Plaza, one of the commercial centers of Los Angeles.

The convenience of its location is also a place where theaters gather.

Around 5:00 pm, most of the working people can relax.

The surrounding area of ​​the square was also lively.

In the theater, it was the turn of "Chainsaw 2".

Wuyangyang's movie hall has a high attendance rate.

On the big screen, a man is using an iron hook to open the stomach of a corpse and finds a key from the stomach...

Such a picture is very tasteful, but the atmosphere of the theater is not serious.

After all, anyone who has seen the previous work knows what the style of such a movie is.

Only some new audiences who come in from the crowd will feel a little incompetent.

The murdering organs that are similar to torture tools, and the perverted murderer who understands people's hearts like the jigsaw, are simply terrifying.

When another woman cried and begged for her arm to be chopped by the cutting machine, the blood and minced meat solidified into the most people...

"vomit"

Alan finally couldn't hold back, his throat churned and he retched a few times.

His hand gripped the armrest of the seat tightly, and the other hand pressed his stomach, as if trying to appease the tumultuous stomach.

Fortunately, he didn't eat anything just now, otherwise he would have to spit it out.

Leaning on the back of the chair again, at the chest, I could feel the rapid beating of my heart strongly.

This movie is really explosive, and if you don't agree with it, you will die.

Look around.

Several audience members around were staring at the big screen attentively, for fear of missing every wonderful scene.

Looking at the black guy in the second position on Allen's left, he can still eat fried chicken with great interest.

Think fried chicken nuggets...

There was another churn in the stomach.

Alan quickly took a few deep breaths.

What's so special, this director is too good at playing, how can he come up with so many torture methods.

To Alan's heart, he felt that he was a pervert.

The key is that the mastermind behind the scenes has not shown up.

Only rely on sound tapes or videos with weird masks to explain the clues to escape.

But not every trapped person can escape completely.

At least so far, two have died, two have been seriously injured, and one has even lost one of his eyes.

To be honest, just watching the plot is quite enjoyable.

If only there weren't so many damn close-ups.

That kind of face-to-face footage is really not acceptable to the average audience.

But even so, Allen continued to watch, and did not leave halfway.

It also stemmed from his persistence. When the identity of Jigsaw was finally revealed, it was the finishing touch of the movie.

A high-IQ pervert who likes to observe prey up close?

Sure enough, this villain's setting is very memorable.

Clearly, Jigsaw is a sociopath whose predecessor was just a very ordinary old man.

As for his reasoning, why people never cherish visible happiness or a healthy body is just an excuse for perverted self-defense and brainwashing.

After walking out of the theater, Allen was still thinking about it.

Maybe he should go buy a CD of Saw 1 and go home.

Yes, just do it.
