"Boss, they are ready."

In a small building in Burbank, Jones Butler accompanied a big fat man towards the film room, and said as he walked, "I promise, the film will definitely make people's eyes shine. This is the film I have watched in the past two years. The best horror movie ever."

Harvey Weinstein turned his head and glanced at Jones Butler, "Is that little director really improving so fast?"

Jones Butler nodded solemnly, "Although it's not appropriate, I think the gap between "Hard Candy" and "Saw" is like Spielberg's "Escape" and "Saw". Jaws."

The films themselves cannot be compared, but there are certain similarities in the changes in directorship between the two works.

The two walked to the film room, Jones Butler took a step forward and opened the door, Harvey Weinstein walked in first, there were several market evaluators from Miramax Films in the film room , by the projector behind them, the director who had met once was leading two people, one fat and one thin, making preparations for the screening.

Murphy also saw Harvey Weinstein. To him, this is a real super boss in the industry. He immediately put down what he was doing and rushed to meet him.

"Hello, Mr. Weinstein." The appearance of Harvey Weinstein somewhat surprised him.

The big fat man on the opposite side didn't say anything, but just nodded to him. Jones Butler walked over and said in a low voice, "How are you getting ready?"

Murphy didn't take it seriously, nodded, "You can start anytime."

Jones Butler glanced at Harvey Weinstein, waited for the fat man to sit down, and said, "Let's get started."

Under Murphy's signal, Seth Rogen went to close the curtains, James Franco turned off the lights, Murphy stood behind the projector, and the opposite screen was illuminated.

Including Harvey Weinstein, everyone in Miramax's film room focused their eyes on the screen.

Murphy is at ease as his own projectionist, and occasionally stretches his head to look ahead. The people in Miramax are all watching the movie attentively, and the pens in the hands of many people will fall on the notebook from time to time, and the main target of his observation is It’s still Harvey Weinstein. You can’t see the fat man’s expression from behind, but his body is straight, as if he hasn’t changed his posture for a long time.

What does this mean? One is probably falling asleep, and the other is completely absorbed by the movie.

No matter how you think about it, Murphy believes that the possibility of the first item is infinitely low. This is "Chain Saw". With his current ability, he may not be able to do much better than the former one, but he will not Too bad, especially the heavy use of crossover montage, which throws enough suspense and large-scale bloody shots.

In the East, these shots bring more nausea, but the traditional horror films in North America are completely different from those on the other side of the ocean. The more blood, the more terrifying.

This is not Murphy's own opinion, but an objective existence.

A horror movie that can't get even the bare minimum of horror right is bound to fail, and not this one, which clearly listens when Carey Mulligan's character jumps into a sea of ​​syringes. A few people let out small exclamations.

Jones Butler was breathing softly and quickly. Even though it was the second time, the potholes still looked gross.

When Jonah Hill's fat man appeared in the gillnet maze, the blood, gastric juice, tears, and saliva flowed together, it was simply...

Harvey Weinstein finally changed his posture, subconsciously raised his hand to wipe the sweat on his forehead, and unconsciously thought of himself from this fat man, his fat body shivered.

This movie is really scary enough.

And the rear joint torsion frame,

Twist a person's body to pieces...

A few people turned their heads and glanced back, wondering how crazy the director must be to come up with these fancy ways of killing people.

What they saw was a young, calm and serious face.

Harvey Weinstein nodded slightly when he saw the nurse breaking into the secret room. This is a very good horror film. It can be said to have gathered many advantages of traditional Hollywood horror films, and cleverly made up for the traditional plasma films. many defects.

Harvey Weinstein has a good understanding of the horror films produced by Hollywood, and many of them are similar blood killings. Of course, this is also the demand of the market, because the one with the smallest cultural barrier, the widest spread, and the most fans is always this Kind of crazy killing feast that doesn't require much brains, especially those series with sequels, such as "A Nightmare on Elm Street", "Friday the 13th", "Texas Chainsaw Massacre"...

Even Miramax's ace series "Scream" can also be classified into this category.

There is no doubt that these traditional killing movies have certain flaws. They often use a far-fetched, abnormal or supernatural excuse to create a vicious murderer.

The biggest problem brought about by this is the aesthetic fatigue of the audience, which directly led to the downturn in the traditional horror film market in recent years.

This "Chain Saw" is obviously different. Although it shows people with violence and blood, it is actually rich in entertainment elements, traps, dark human nature, closed space, and the mystery of the real murderer.

The filthy setting, the horrific killing mechanism, and the painful scenes of abuse all carry a strong sense of horror, and skillfully use flashes before and after to explain intricate clues. The cohesion and nesting of plots are even more comparable to the ingenuity of detective novels. In B-level Under the appearance of the film, it is a first-class superb suspense film, which can be watched, tasted, verified, and even resonated repeatedly.

This is an excellent horror film.

Harvey Weinstein made a judgment, but his fat face remained calm. Such horror films are indeed rare in recent years, but they are not as exaggerated as Jones Butler said, right?

But the next moment, he changed his opinion.

The nurse was not the culprit. The corpse lying in the secret room stood up. His body was bent and he looked old and weak, but his eyes in the close-up were extremely sharp, as if he could see through everything in this world.

Then the flashback crossover montage appeared, especially the sentence "the murderer likes to watch his masterpiece at close range" said by the police, which made many people suddenly realize.

Harvey Weinstein gripped the arm of the chair tightly with one hand, a look of surprise on his fat face, the ending was completely unexpected despite countless movies.

He couldn't help but look back at the projector. In just a few months, it was incredible that the young director had made such great progress. To be continued.
