Chapter 399: sequel release

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 gang boss 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, his company's development has only rebounded slightly, but the general trend is not more harmonious than before, and it can even be said that it is far from it.

Due to the separation of powers, Lehmann stepped into 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 plan step by step.

To be honest, with Lehman's current advantage, making movies will definitely make more money than making 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 of work, 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 Lehman's mind will only be left with overseas distribution channels and his own voice channel TV network or news media.

It's not in a hurry, and it's useless to be in a hurry.

Come step by step.

......

......

Time enters September.

Paramount also stepped up the final wave of the announcement.

Compared to the last premiere of "Chainsaw", 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 calculation criteria for judging the market potential of a film.

"Chainsaw 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 has been 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 fell.

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

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

Propaganda, its popularity is completely proportional to the investment.

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 low-budget thriller "Puzzles" released by Columbia.

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

You must know that 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 Cola is miserable. They never thought that an old-fashioned story could get so much box office.

On September 7th, all the film copies released by Paramount are 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 cinemas gather.

At around 5 o'clock in the afternoon, most of the working people can relax.

The surrounding area of ​​the square also became 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...

This kind of 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 follow the crowd will feel a little incompetent.

Those murdering mechanisms that are similar to torture tools, and the perverted murderer who understands people's hearts like a 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"

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

His hand firmly grasped the armrest of the seat, and the other hand pressed his stomach, as if to appease the tumultuous stomach.

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

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

This movie is really explosive, 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.

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

Thinking of fried chicken nuggets...

There was another surge in the stomach.

Allen 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.

Let Allen think in his heart that he is a pervert.

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

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 up to now, 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 **** close-ups.

That kind of face-to-face footage is really unacceptable to ordinary audiences.

But even so, Allen continued to watch and didn't 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.

To be clear, Jigsaw is an anti-social personality 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.

Perhaps, he should go buy a CD of "Chainsaw 1" and take a look home.

Yes, just do that.
