Hollywood: Great Directors Starting with Saw

Their eyes were firmly attracted by the screen.

And this is enough for Kevin, being able to attract the audience to watch the movie instead of exiting it has actually proved that this is not a bad movie.

And the charm of the vertical saw, as long as he finished watching the last plot, Kevin knew that they would firmly engrave the classic character of vertical saw in film history in his heart.

Time flies in the movie, and everyone is addicted to the movie with the struggle of the protagonist Adam.

The movie ended quickly.

Film critics have written something in the small book in their hands.

Instead, Roger Ebert had nothing in his hands, seemed to look around, found the figure of director Kevin, and slowly walked over.

"You're the genius director Steve Kevin, I'm Roger Ebert."

"Thank you for the compliment, I'm Steve Kevin."

Roger Ebert looked at Kevin with interest and asked his own questions.

"How did you come up with a character like a vertical saw?"

For this kind of question, Kevin has long been prepared in advance.

Therefore, it is also natural to answer:

"I grew up in a welfare home, and in the process of growing up, I have seen many old people die in front of me."

"Most of them are suffering from illness."

"At the same time, I have also seen many of my classmates, who do not respect life, they are addicted to sex, in the midst of the big thing."

"Wantonly squandering their lives, and regretting it until the disease comes to them."

"For this reason, I created a murderous maniac like a vertical saw in the movie, and he didn't kill people casually."

"It's about teaching people to value their own lives, and in the movie, he doesn't leave Adam without opportunities for a few people who don't value life."

"It's just that they didn't grasp it."

".....,"

Kevin chattered here, and Roger Ebert on the side nodded repeatedly.

From the perspective of the concept of this character, the realm of chainsaw horror has far exceeded the average movie.

It has its own mind out there.

While making people feel terrifying, it is a metaphor for persuading people to cherish the inner part of life, which is undoubtedly a rare masterpiece.

After getting enough information from Kevin, Roger Ebert decided to write a movie review for Chainsaw after he went back.

Such a good work deserves to be seen by more people.

Dean on the side watched them talk so happily, a little stunned, to know Roger Ebert, this old guy, but oil and salt can't enter.

The only thing studios can do is pay him to shut up.

As for asking him to praise a certain movie, it must be Roger Ebert's own true love of the movie.

Such a stubborn old guy who doesn't know how to earn money actually chatted so happily with Kevin, the director.

"Haha, Director Kevin, you are indeed a genius."

Roger Ebert complimented Kevin again before turning away.

Dean moved his steps and came to his side and said,

"You are Roger Ebert's son?"

Kevin's face darkened, what to call his son, will he speak.

"Don't get me wrong, I haven't seen Roger Ebert treat people so well in a long time, and as you can see, he's not a gregarious guy among film critics."

"However, his film reviews can always dig out something unexpected, and his influence on the reputation of a movie is still quite large."

Dean explained.

Kevin nodded, Roger Ebert's name, he had also heard of it in his previous life, but he only knew that he was a famous film critic.

Of course, in this day and age, the influence of film critics is very large.

If it is not necessary, he better not offend these people.

After answering these questions to him, Dean pulled Kevin to Shay to discuss the next premiere.

As for these film critics and paper media people, they naturally have other people to receive and receive money from New Line Pictures, they naturally will not talk indiscriminately, and this professional ethics is still there.

...

Looking at Kevin and Dean who arrived, Shay quickly beckoned them to come over.

On the table in front of him was something called a promissory note, which recorded in detail the information of the movies that were released before and those that will be released soon.

Terminator 2, The Silence of the Lambs...

These are movies that have been shown for more than several months, and Kevin can't help but rejoice that there are no hard bones in this October and even November, this North American box office off-season.

And it's Halloween soon.

According to the normal broadcast time, they can wait until Halloween.

Every year, Halloween is a great time for horror movies to be released.

But Halloween is not the only one, other film companies will naturally not miss it, choosing Halloween means that they have to compete with other movies.

There are so many cinemas, and the more you have, the less others.

This is the relationship between you and me.

Shay is this seeking his opinion?

Kevin guessed.

"The few movies currently in theaters are not enough, but Halloween, which is coming soon, is very competitive as the first choice for horror movies."

"Kevin, I need you to promote it at major universities..."

Shay said directly.

"No problem."

Kevin directly agreed.

This kind of publicity that is favorable to the box office of the movie, of course, he will not refuse.

After agreeing, the next step is naturally a series of detailed discussions.

The specific publicity time was placed on the day before Christmas, and the first stop was Kevin's alma mater, the cinema next to the University of Southern California.

Before that, warming up is naturally indispensable.

.....

The next day, Kevin got up, bought a newspaper from the hotel door, and returned to his room to read the critic's comments.

"The genius of the genius director, this Halloween, you must not miss the best work, in this film, you can see how the vertical saw punishes those who do not cherish life in the name of God..."

"The most noteworthy horror film of the year, I promise in my name, it will be comparable to the Silence of the Lambs released in February this year, a more classic horror film, and you will definitely regret it if you don't watch it."

Kevin smiled slightly, silent lamb, the investment capital of about $1 million was not as high as his chainsaw horror investment.

However, the cost of publicity is estimated to be similar to his.

There are always people who believe that good movies will have a box office, and in Kevin's opinion, this is.

Shawshank's redemption classic, $25 million investment, only barely recovered $16 million, and finally barely relied on word of mouth to counterattack, in the DVD market finally slowly recovered the cost.
