Chapter 157. [Don't read for the faint of heart](2/2)
""Saw" is about to be released. China's Yi horror story is ready to go!"
"The Chinese director who scares people to death. Enters the horror field again. What miracles can he bring this time?!"
"The four major companies dominate the summer vacation. Can Fantasy Pictures rely on "Chainsaw" to break through?!"
…
June 13, 1999.
It's the weekend, and Hollywood's summer vacation season is in full swing.
"Star Wars: The Prequels," "The Matrix," "Tomb Raider," and the newly released "Tarzan of the Apes" are all blockbuster movies that are dizzying to watch.
Star Wars fans choose their favorites, science fiction fans choose Nick in a black trench coat, adventure fans enjoy the Pyramid Mummy, and children happily relive the wonder of Tarzan.
Just tonight, "Saw", a movie that has disrupted the entire summer movie world, is finally going to be released.
The appearance of this drama made all horror fans feel extremely "suffocated".
Fantasy Pictures' viral online marketing and the sell-out of limited-edition signed posters made the entire premiere day "weird and unpredictable."
In the darkness, many people swore that they must see this drama for the first time tonight, yes, they must!
…
New York, USA, a movie theater.
Under the hazy night, there was a long queue outside the small cinema, with young people laughing and talking about something.
"God, have you seen that horrific video?"
"Yes, but I only watched the first one, and then I didn't dare to watch it. It was too scary!"
"Then you still want to watch a movie?"
"No way, I like China Yi's drama!"
…
"Have you ever heard that China Yi's previous dramas were terrifying to death?"
"Yes, we have known about it for a long time, so we are all prepared. Look, this is oxygen, this is cardiac shock...!"
…
"Look, those guys came in without buying tickets and didn't even line up!"
"Stop yelling, man, do you know who the old man in front of you is? I heard he is called Black Dad. The guys he leads are all poor people in their neighborhood. How can they afford tickets?"
"Yes, I heard that the neighborhood is very famous now. Many people have made guest appearances in China Yi's films, and they are almost becoming professional extras!"
…
Everyone here was chirping and talking nonsense. In front of the ticket office, several young people almost started fighting over grabbing tickets, shouting and cursing at each other, and no one was convinced.
Fortunately, a fat white man wearing a guard's clothes came out of the cinema and managed to stop these two guys.
But those young people changed their target and vented their anger on this unfortunate fat man.
"Hey, man, why are you pushing us? We are just having fun. What do you think? Guarding the gate is a big deal. Damn it, we are the audience, we are the customers, we are God, do you understand?"
The fat white man didn't want to lose his temper with these young people, "Now, man, you'd better shut your mouth, yes, or I will glue it up with super glue!"
"Ha, you damn fat guy, how dare you talk to us like this, just wait, we will settle the score with you after we watch this "Saw"!"
"Stop being wordy with him, move forward, the team is moving, haha, it's almost our turn, we will buy tickets soon!"
Looking at this group of crazy young people, the fat white man couldn't help but shake his head, "Thank God, this drama would be best if it could scare you all so much that you pee and cry mommy with your mouth open!"
…
Los Angeles, USA, a movie theater.
"What, the tickets are all sold out?" A white boy looked at the black woman selling tickets in disbelief.
"Excuse me, please look carefully. Are there any tickets left? Yes, I must see this show tonight!"
"Oh, I'm so sorry. Don't talk about the tickets, I don't even have a hair! But..." the black aunt said kindly, "But you can choose other movies, such as "Tomb Raider", which is currently being screened.
I heard that the filming of this movie is very good, and the mummies are very scary; or you can watch Disney's newly released "Tarzan", which is a large-scale animated film. Both the picture and sound effects are top-notch!"
"No. Don't introduce these to me. I'm watching "Saw". Yes, I'm only watching this movie!" the white guy said firmly.
"Okay then. As for "Saw", there is only the midnight show left. There are still some for the first show, do you want it?" the black aunt said helplessly.
The white guy stretched out his hand without thinking and said hurriedly: "Of course. Give me the ticket quickly, I don't want to lose the midnight show." He was the first in the United States to discover the Google long-distance video, and the first to click to watch, and
He was also the first "horrible person" to send a text message to spread this video. For this reason, he even poured hot instant noodles on his roommate's balls. Now a great person like him actually wants to do it on the first day
Can’t see it? It’s ridiculous to say it on Google.
Seeing this young white man leaving with movie tickets, everyone behind him also rushed to buy tickets for the midnight show.
…
"Hey, dad, why are there so many people queuing up there?" A boy with brown hair, about 14 or 15 years old, with a childish face asked the stout man next to him.
The stout man patted his son on the head and said, "They are waiting in line to buy tickets to watch the newly released "Saw"."
"Oh, really, then I want to see it too."
"Oh no, no, no, kid, this show is restricted. You are still young and can't watch it... Why don't we watch "Tarzan" as originally planned." The stout man comforted the boy.
"No, only girls like to watch those hilarious cartoons. I just want to watch horror movies!"
"Then, why don't we watch "Tomb Raider"? I heard that this drama is also very scary. Yes, there is a magical mummy. Don't you like it very much?"
"I like werewolves, not mummies!"
"It's all the same, they're not human anyway!"
"But I want to watch "Saw"! Please, dad, I want to be a man!" the boy said stubbornly.
"No, my son, to be honest with you, I actually want to watch this movie too, but I heard that this movie is very scary, aren't you afraid?"
"Yes, I'm not afraid! Of course, if I am, I will hide in your arms. Haha, no one can find me!"
"But the problem is, how do you, a kid like you, get in?"
"If there's a way, I can sneak in secretly."
…
A movie theater in Chicago, USA.
I just got the ticket and before I walked out of the door, the beautiful conductor shouted: "Today's Saw tickets are all sold out! We can only sell tickets for tomorrow!"
The crowd in line erupted in dissatisfaction.
"I'm going to take a test! Why are there only these few cinemas? My friends have gone to several cinemas, and none of them have Saw!"
"What the hell, can't you arrange a few more shows?"
"In front of you, if you don't want to buy it, just leave. No one will come tomorrow!"
"Who says I won't buy it? I'll buy all the tickets for the day after tomorrow, let alone tomorrow!"
The crowd was noisy, but no one left. Everyone was looking forward to seeing if this movie was that magical.
…
Buying tickets and grabbing tickets are going on in 1,550 theaters in various cities in North America. A large number of movie fans believe in the "China Yi" brand and are extremely interested and excited about his latest horror film.
There are many people who have followed Internet viral marketing all the way, uploading, clicking, copying, and researching who is the chainsaw murderer, who is the victim, and why these people are tortured and killed...
Curiosity killed the cat. Similarly, curiosity can make people continue to be obsessed with looking for the final answer. Obviously, as long as you watch tonight's movie, all the answers will be revealed!
In recent days, the overwhelming propaganda slogans such as "Scare you out", "Don't watch if you are timid", "Are you a coward", etc. are like viruses that have infected various cities and infected batches of ordinary viewers.
North American audiences who have always been dominated by horror culture, like werewolves, vampires, and obsessed with dark literature, have never been ridiculed as "cowards", so they are "angry". The more they are not allowed to watch, the more we must
