Chapter 213 Development
Chen Tian got off the taxi and waited for a while. Eric Lomis and the others got off.
There are many people in the square outside the exhibition center, and there are even small screens.
There is no doubt that these people were people who failed to enter the film festival. They set up small stalls here to try to get recognition.
Chen Tian walked over to a projector at the door, and Eric Lomis smiled and said, "Justin, you don't plan to find a good movie here, are you?"
"I just take a look at it casually. Actually, I think they are very similar to me. I have thought so before. They are all people who really love movies!" Chen Tian walked over as he said.
Listening to the sound of the film turning, Chen Tian stopped and watched the screen.
Both photography skills and actors seem very amateur.
The film should be a romance film, and the heroes and heroines on the screen finally came to the agreed place.
The agreed place is a subway station entrance, but it is regrettably staggered because there are many people and the specific location is not explained clearly, and it is less than ten meters apart.
The expressions on the faces of the male and female protagonists are not very good, and the ending treatment seems too old-fashioned.
The black man standing behind the projector looked almost 35 years old.
Long hair and thin clothes.
Park City today does not seem much warmer because of the gathering of people. At this moment, the temperature outdoors is only 4 degrees.
The black man's skin color made Chen Tian unable to see clearly whether he felt cold. But Chen Tian looked at the clothes he was wearing and obviously felt very cold.
"Sir, do you want to continue watching? My video... should be pretty good.
I can start to show you again. It is a 30-minute love short film that tells the love story of two ordinary men and women in the city, and they finally parted regretfully."
The black man looked at Chen Tianyi's group with little confidence, but he still introduced the simple plot.
Eric Lomis pulled Chen Tian, and he felt that Chen Tian had some pity.
Chen Tian shook his head: "I'll take a look at it casually. I think your script needs some modifications."
"To be honest, that plot just now is a bit too old-fashioned. In fact, romance films do not necessarily require scenes where the male and female protagonists are staggered.
Even if you are staggered, I think you can be more old-fashioned. For example, just just turn around and then stagger it, I think it is better than the settings like this."
The suggestions Chen Tian said were undoubtedly very bloody and cliché, but in Chen Tian’s opinion, it was better than the one who was clichéd and had no at all attractive.
The black man didn't say anything. When he saw Chen Tian leave, he wanted to say something but didn't speak.
Chen Tian brought Wen Ziren and others to the screening room of the Convention and Exhibition Center with the staff. "Saw" will be screened in this screening room that can accommodate 2,000 people.
There is still half an hour before the opening ceremony begins. Less than a quarter of the people are sitting in the large screening hall of 2,000 people.
But Eric Lomis and Dan Fehrman have seen some acquaintances, from New Line, DreamWorks, Colombia and some other notable film companies.
Eric Lomis and the others greeted each other, and everyone knew that "Saw" was the opening film.
But the distribution rights were bought by Lions Gate shortly after being sent to the St. Dennis International Film Festival, so the opening film will not be purchased by major companies as in the past.
But for these film companies buyers, they can’t buy videos now.
Other booths will only be open after the opening video is screened.
It's so cold. There are no videos in the square to attract them, so they are naturally willing to stay in the theater. At the same time, they can also see what the origin of this thriller horror film that Chen Tian bets on the North American box office will exceed 100 million.
You can also know yourself and your enemy, and win every battle to avoid being in conflict with the release of "Saw".
There is no way. Who made Chen Tian agree to the bet and left the impression of a thriller master.
Although this "Saw" is not Chen Tian's script or director Chen Tian, it was invested by Chen Tian after all.
Moreover, Wan Ziren also showed his directorial ability in the documentary "Super Burger King", which is one of the reasons why they can sit here.
Wayne Lleellin, the distribution manager of Paramount Pictures, sat next to Tom Thorenberg and looked at Chen Tian, who was less than three people away from Tom Thorenberg.
"Tom, you Lions Gate spent a lot of money on this video. How much do you think you can earn?" Wien Lleelin asked with a smile.
"Yes, Tom, if I remember correctly, Justin Chen said that North America can exceed 100 million."
Universal Pictures's film purchasing manager Nicky Rocco sat on the other side of Tom Thorenberg, heard Wien Llewellyn ask, and immediately interrupted.
It turned out that Universal also intends to compete with Lionsgate MGM for Chen Tian, but they eventually gave up because the share agreement was really high.
Sitting behind Tom Thorneberg was Matthew Lunt. He didn't want to come here, but he really had no place to go, so he could only come here.
He knew very well about this bet. He naturally hoped that he could not exceed 100 million yuan, and it would be better to lose a lot of money.
Although "The Little Sunshine Beauty" has only exceeded 80 million in the box office recently, it is still quite far from the 100 million yuan mark, and it is likely that it will not be able to complete a bet of 100 million yuan and end up running naked.
But Matthew Lunt had no idea of being happy, because even if Chen Tian ran naked, this video would make Chen Tian a big profit.
What he hopes to see is Chen Tian’s huge loss once, and the bet against Chen Tian’s 100 million-dollar blockbuster is the one he particularly hopes to see the loss.
However, at this moment, in the screening room of "Saw", he also hopes that "Saw" will be filmed very badly, after all, Chen Tian is an investor.
"Yes, Tom, you should have seen it. How do you feel? Isn't it particularly scary?" Matthew Lunt asked with a smile, without looking anything unusual.
Tom Thorneberg naturally knew what their mentality was. He certainly wouldn't have the idea of congratulating Lionsgate on buying a good video.
"It's okay, it's not particularly scary. You should know that our Lions Gate bid was actually before seeing the video.
We mainly aim for Justin, not the film.
It doesn’t matter if you bid high, you won’t lose money anyway, and at worst you won’t make money.”
"Tom, you're so good at joking. I don't believe you'd rather not make money." Matthew Lunt said with a smile.
"It's okay. You'll know after reading it." Tom Thorenberg said calmly.
His performance made others not believe that the film was ordinary, but others did not think that the film would be so horrible.
Nowadays, there are hundreds of horror movies every year, but there are very few real horror movies.
As experts in the film industry, they naturally know that thrillers and horror movies have now entered a vicious cycle, and it is not easy to make horror movie fans shine.
As the opening film of the St. Dennis International Film Festival, neither Chen Tian nor Wen Ziren came on stage to speak, but the founder Robert Redford made a very brief speech before the film began to be screened.
The hall that can accommodate 2,000 people is already full of stuff. When the sound of the video comes out of the speaker, everyone looks at the big screen.
Andre Javi is a Park City native who works in a local court today and is a horror and horror movie enthusiast.
But there are too few good horror movies in recent years, so he is not interested in this movie "Saw".
In his opinion, he would not be better than his boss's "Texas Chainsaw Massacre", and he also believes that this "Saw" must be an imitation of "Texas Chainsaw Massacre".
He came here with a look. He didn't have much expectations.
Although he thought Chen Tian’s thriller was not a good one, Chen Tian’s thriller was not the type he loved particularly. He liked the kind of thriller horror movies that made people's blood boil, instead of relying on psychological suspense to achieve thriller horror.
A face pattern suddenly appeared in the dim shot. The sudden face was combined with the terrifying horror music. It immediately scared many people present.
There were even a lot of screams in the theater, listening to the screams Tom Thorneberg smiled slightly. He believed that the latter would make these people even more scared.
The corpse fell in a pool of blood, and the bright red blood on the ground rushed towards people's vision.
The bright red blood on the head and the white liquid flowing out were intertwined, making people feel even more disgusted.
The weird way of death made Andre a horror movie lover a little interested.
When the murder props appeared, the bloody scene of blood gushing out appeared, Andre felt his adrenal hormones soaring.
"GOOD!GOOD!" Andre looked at the big screen with his eyes fixed on his eyes, feeling extremely excited. He felt that he was doing it right.
The reporters and film professionals present had a new understanding of "Saw".
Especially the appearance of murder props made their eyes lit up.
And while it is bloody and terrifying, it is not blindly pursuing this bloody and terrifying effect.
Every death is associated with wisdom, which makes them feel a different feeling.
When the scene of Gordon's own sawing of his feet appeared, Tom Thorenberg felt his scalp numb even after seeing it once, and couldn't help but glance at the two beside him.
Nicky Rocco and Wayne Lleelin were both breathing heavily, and this scene made Tom Thorenberg very satisfied.
Screams in the theater kept coming out, just when everyone thought the depression was about to end.
The corpse that had been lying in a pool of blood actually slowly climbed up, and the corpse that stood up tear off the mask on his head with his hands.
Only then did people realize that this was the murderous murderer in the whole film, cold and cold: "Most people are not grateful when they live!"
Without any emotion, it makes people feel cold!
When the film ended in the darkness and screams, there was only heavy breathing left in the hall of 2,000 people. Chen Tian knew that Wen Ziren had succeeded this time.
The lights of the cinema began to light up, and Tom Thorenberg forced a smile, preparing to make a joke, but the two bigwigs around who were used to countless videos were sweating profusely at this moment.
Andre is different from everyone else, he is totally excited that he feels that "Saw" will create new horror film history.
He couldn't help but tell his friends how great "Saw" is.
Matthew Lunt felt that his heart was still beating violently, and he couldn't breathe.
He couldn't help but worry, because this "Saw" in North America is definitely not a fantasy.
