The first two films laid a good foundation. "Saw 3" also conforms to the consistent aesthetics of North American horror fans. In addition, the appropriate elevation of "jiuzhas" caters to the psychology of fans. The market response has increased significantly from the first day of the film's release compared to the first two films.

On the first day of its release in North America, the film won 15.22 million US dollars in nearly 3,500 theaters, creating the best series.

Correspondingly, the higher the box office, the worse the reputation in a certain aspect.

"Saw 3"'s Rotten Tomatoes Index also hit a new low in the series, with a collapse of 28% on the first day of release.

Various critics have emerged one after another, and some even involve personal attacks on Wan Ziren.

These guys are also typical examples of bullying the weak and fearing the strong. When facing Uvy Ball's "Bloods Ryan", even criticism and abuse were mostly at the level of the movie.

Because no one wants to try Brother Bao’s iron fist.

But facing Wen Ziren, who has a gentle personality, they are like shrews cursing.

To be honest, too many critics have already crossed the line of commenting on movies and are often attacked by personal attacks.

This is also somewhat related to the operation of Relativity Entertainment. Among all the medium and large film companies in Hollywood, Relativity Entertainment has the lowest investment in film review and public relations.

Perhaps in the eyes of some film critics, if you don’t scold these stingy miser who are reluctant to spend money, will you scold the money owner?

"Saw 3" is exciting enough to horror fans. The negative reputation of the film has an impact, but it is limited after all.

Three days after the first weekend of North America's release, "Saw 3" topped the North American box office rankings with the best series of $38.77 million.

According to the forecasts obtained by ema score based on cinema audience surveys, the North American box office of "Saw 3" will be above $100 million.

Relativity Entertainment invested a total of US$4 million in production costs and US$10 million in global promotion funds. Relying on the North American box office alone, it not only recovers costs, but also generates large profits.

"Congratulations, James."

In the reception room on the top floor of the Relativity Building, Ronan shook hands with Wen Ziren: "It once again brought great success."

Wan Ziren's face was full of an oriental subtle smile: "I didn't expect the box office to be so good."

Ronan asked someone to send coffee, got to the point, and asked, "James, what are your plans next?"

Wan Ziren sat upright on the sofa and said, "I want to break through the more traditional North American horror film structure of "Saw", better combine Eastern psychological horror with Western traditional elements, and shoot a horror film in a brand new style."

He glanced at Ronan, said with a little caution, "Even give up directly showing bloody scenes, creating a terrifying atmosphere with details and environment."

Ronan said: "I understand this way, right?"

"Yes! Yes!" Wen Ziren nodded repeatedly: "That's what I think."

The words just now inspired him: "Closely grasp people's psychology, exaggerate and weird scenes and objects that people are familiar with, and then match the camera's dispatch and switching, which increases the terrifying effect, so that people don't dare to look back at night after watching the video."

Ronan understood that after filming the "Saw" series, Wan Ziren did not choose the wrong way at the fork in the road.

Wen Ziren continued: "I have a topic, but I haven't completely confirmed it yet, just some preliminary ideas."

Ronan looked at him: "Tell me."

"How to say it, it's somewhat related to "Saws"." Wan Ziren pulled out a half-palm Billy puppet from his pocket: "Billy was designed and produced by me by myself, which gave me a lot of inspiration. I was wondering, can the puppet be used as the protagonist to shoot a horror film? The dark tones, cold lines, and cunning dolls show a gloomy and weird artistic style..."

Ronan glanced at the puppet Billy and said, "James, since you want to shoot a new style of horror movie, I suggest you give up on these things related to Saw."

Wen Ziren lowered her head and stared at the puppet proportion, as if she was in the middle of thinking.

“As far as I know, horror movies in the East are often related to ghosts,” Ronan continued: “The West also has this subject.”

Wen Ziren said, "Ghost? Supernatural?"

Ronan said: "For example, if a family stayed in a haunted house and encountered a supernatural attack, there should be many similar rumors in the East and the West."

"There is a place in my hometown." Wen Ziren said seriously: "After coming to North America, I have heard of many such rumors. Ray Warner and I have visited several rumored haunted houses in Los Angeles."

Ronan picked up the information that people had collected a long time ago and handed it to Wen Ziren first: "Shahai Entertainment is creating a series about horror events in the United States, collecting many rumored supernatural and ghost events in North America. Some of them I think are more suitable for filming and becoming movies. I specially picked them out, you can take a look, and maybe it can give you some inspiration."

Wen Ziren took the information and found that this is a common type in the legend of supernatural legends in North America. The family happily moved to a new home, and suddenly there were many strange things. The boy at home had an accident and became unconscious. After a few months, no doctor could provide a reasonable explanation for the boy's delay in coma.

During this period, things that were wrong and difficult to explain frequently occurred in the house. They moved again in order to escape a series of strange events. Only then did they find that it was not the house that had something wrong, and finally had to invite special people...

Ronan said: "This kind of rumor is one of the most common supernatural terror rumors in North America. There are various similar versions among the people, and the public is very well accepted because similar rumors are around them."

Wen Ziren smiled and said, "Yes, I have heard and seen similar ones, although not exactly the same, but generally similar." He put away the puppet Billy: "I want to study these carefully with Ray Warner."

"What else." Ronan handed the second information to Wan Ziren, including one of them: "This is Andra Peren's horror "The Real Story: The House of Darkness and Light". The copyright is already in the hands of Shahai Entertainment. According to the author's own description, this is based on real events."

He thought for a while and added: "It is said that this is a real event that happened on the Warrens' farm."

Wan Ziren remembered hearing this name: "Mr. Warren?"

Ronan detailed: "Ed Warren and Rowling Warren, the founder of the New England Society for the Study of Mind, and an American paranormal investigator and writer, has investigated many famous haunted events, and there is also a Warren Museum of Whole."

Wen Ziren suddenly realized: "It's them, I have heard of them. They have written many books on paranormal phenomena and related private investigation reports, saying that they have investigated more than 10,000 cases in their careers and are one of the several investigators who have taken the lead in investigating the controversial haunted incident in Armitageville."

"Amitiville haunted incident?" Ronan was a little confused.

Wen Ziren explained: "It happened decades ago. A New York couple said that their house was attached to a violent and evil thing. Because it was too serious, they had to move out. Many supernatural experts went to investigate, and some people said it was a scam, but Rowling Warren has always insisted that there were evil spirits in the house. The 1977 book "The House of Ghosts" and the 1979 and 2005 movie "The Ghosts" were adapted from this incident."

Ronan said: "James, we won't discuss the authenticity, but from the perspective of the movie adaptation, don't you think the Warrens are very good movie protagonists?"

Wan Ziren thought for a while, recalled what the couple had done, and said, "They are simply the protagonists of the movie!"

Ronan said again: "We can regard many events as real, and the Warrens are the best experts in supernatural phenomena in the world..."

Wen Ziren was obviously inspired and said: "Combining the special effects, religion and music of Western horror films, combined with the mystery and hints of the East, create a more gloomy and terrifying atmosphere..."

He looked at Ronan: "Are the Warrens still alive? I want to visit them in person!"

Ronan pointed to the information handed over to Wen Ziren: "Their address and specific contact information are included on it. The people from Shahai Entertainment have already contacted them. They are very happy to see their lives being brought to the big screen. If you want to visit them, let George Clin send someone to accompany you."

"Okay." Wen Ziren seemed to be unable to sit still.

Ronan reminded: "Don't worry, you can bring back both of these materials. James, you can study it carefully to see if you can adapt the movie. If you adapt the movie, can you put it in the same background."

Wen Ziren looked at two pieces of information in succession and asked in surprise: "Same background?"

Ronan simply said: "It is in the background of the movie that they are happening in the same world. For example, in the first part of the information, the professionals invited by the family for their son can be the Warrens and their wife. For example, some supernatural horror items collected in the Warrens and their wife's Museum of Mystery can be taken out to shoot the movie alone."

Wen Ziren roughly understood: "It seems feasible."

Ronan reminded again: "In this regard, it can be called the same universe or the same earth. James, don't you know you read superhero comics?"

Wen Ziren smiled embarrassedly: "I have basically never seen it."

"Well, you'd better go find George Clint." Ronan felt that it was more intuitive to ask Wan Ziren to go directly to see the relevant plans: "If you sign a confidential jump, you can see a huge plan about the movie. After reading it, you will understand what I'm talking about."
