Chapter 158. [The premiere begins]

It was around 7:30 that evening.

The premiere of Fantasy Pictures' "Saw" is scheduled to be held at the Superstar Theater in Los Angeles.

This cinema is the most conspicuous among the eight theater chains owned by Yifeiyang. After a large-scale renovation, the original old seats, decorations, and audio equipment were all thrown away by Yifeiyang unceremoniously and replaced with

Yes, it is a luxurious cinema that was renovated at a cost of hundreds of thousands.

If we were to select the top ten best movie theaters in Los Angeles, the superstar movie theater that has "reinvented its golden body" and "infinite scenery" will definitely be shortlisted.

The fat man Gao Jiabao expressed his incomprehension that Yi Feiyang spent so much money to rebuild the cinema. Yi Feiyang's answer was that a broken bowl with wonton noodles can only be sold at a clay pot stall, but a gold bowl with wonton noodles can be sold.

Appearing in the palace, this is the difference!

Today, on the red carpet in front of the luxurious theater, the stars are shining. Yi Feiyang, who is wearing a suit, joins Anne Hathaway in a light blue evening dress. And the star of the movie itself, in order to save costs, does special effects, "Chainsaw"

The actors in "Psycho" were all chosen to be cheap and good-quality, but this also meant that except for the "veteran actor" Max von Sydow, no actor attracted the interest of the media.

So Yi Feiyang invited a number of his "stars" to come to help out, including super porn stars Stormi and Natasha, male stars Gyron Hill, Rucci, and some Hollywood friends that Yi Feiyang made at the Christmas party.

Superstars, such as Russian beauty Milla Jovovich, Brad Pitt, Edward Norton, Scarlett Johansson... there are also a group of Chinese filmmakers who are making their way in Hollywood, including the big shot of "Face/Off"

Director John Woo, Yu Rentai who shot "The Ghost Bride", Jackie Chan eldest brother Jet Li, Chow Yun-fat, etc.

Originally, Yi Feiyang also invited "Eighth Master" Yuan Heping, who had just come to Hollywood not long ago, as an invited guest. However, because Mr. Eighth had served as an action director in "The Matrix", the relationship between the two parties was relatively sensitive, so he did not come; as for Yi Feiyang's

Animation mentor Steven Spielberg was originally invited, but because he was invited to attend the tour of his friend George Lucas's "Star Wars: Prequels".

In addition, Yi Feiyang also invited Ramon, the boss of Paramount, and Gusta, the president of Lionsgate Pictures. These two guys are also very interesting, and they will be there as soon as they are invited, not to mention that their two companies are also involved in this movie.

Publishing together with Fantasy, it seems that they have "common" interests.



As night falls, the red carpet outside the Superstar Theater is empty. There are only sporadic passers-by and patrolling security staff. There are occasional vehicles passing by on the road outside. At this time, the screening hall of the Superstar Theater is packed with seats. "Saw"

The crew and invited guests were all sitting in the front, as well as family and relatives; there was a large group of media reporters and film critics in the middle; and there were also movie fans everywhere.

The movie was about to be screened. There were still low hums of conversation in the theater. Yi Feiyang, who was in the middle of the front row, was looking at the huge screen. His eyes were trance-like, and countless pictures flashed through his mind for more than a year. "The Blair Witch Project"

", "Buried Alive", "Horror Cruise", "Ghost Chronicles", the upcoming "Saw", and the currently being produced "Speed ​​Snail"... He said softly: "The dream is gradually coming true."

Anne Hathaway next to him understood his mood very well. She accompanied him all the way and said: "Yi, tonight belongs to you and everyone on the "Saw" crew."

Anne Hathaway actually did not expect that Yi Feiyang would hold her hand to attend the premiere tonight. Therefore, to be able to walk on the red carpet with her loved one and to accompany her loved one to witness this miraculous moment,

It's all like a dream.

Regarding the movie "Saw", although Anne Hathaway watched Yi Feiyang's filming on the scene, those were only fragments and were not edited well, just like a piecemeal story, so she

I have no idea what this drama is about.

Yi Feiyang reminded her before watching, "Be careful, this drama is very scary and bloody. A gentle girl like you, it's best not to be scared to tears... Of course, if you are really scared, you will not be scared at all."

You can hide in my arms, Annie, my arms will always be open to you, just like the last time I watched the movie..."

Fortunately, Yi Feiyang didn't mention it. This mention immediately made Hathaway blush. Thinking of the last time they watched a horror movie in the cinema and had an extremely intimate kiss in the couple's seat, Hathaway felt hot all over.

hot.

"Hey, I'm not that timid. This is your movie. I must watch it from beginning to end!"

"Then, I wish you good luck and be sure to hold on..."

While Yi Feiyang and Hathaway were talking, Marks, who starred in "Saw" behind him, patted Yi Feiyang on the shoulder and said: "Yi Feiyang, no matter whether this movie is a success or not, I want to thank you in advance!

Yes, I want to thank you! It was you who allowed me to be on the screen again. I am so happy to be able to see my own performance tonight!" Max's voice was slightly choked.

To be honest, it's all a lie if old Max isn't nervous or excited. A person who belongs to the film world was involved in a scandal, which ruined his stardom. He should have been enjoying applause and flowers.

In the end, he could only huddle up in a grocery store like a beggar and live a hard life. Before meeting Yi Feiyang, Max even felt that his life was over, and there would no longer be any color, in obscurity, in the cold wind and rain.

die.

However, the appearance of Yi Feiyang gave him hope of living again, and the passion for acting in his bones burst out again. His passion, his surge, and his unspeakable love for the acting career are all in this "movie"

poured out in "Saw".

Dripping with joy!

The passion accumulated for more than ten years,

Acting skills that have been stored for more than ten years,

All erupted like a volcano!

Max feels that regardless of the success or failure of this drama, he must thank Yi Feiyang for giving him such an opportunity. Yes, without him, his ideals and dreams would have withered and died long ago!

Facing Max's thanks to him, Yi Feiyang smiled and said: "That's wrong. It's me who is thanking you. Without you, there wouldn't be such a wonderful drama. Just watch, Max, you will become famous because of this drama.

Yes, regain your glory, right now!”

Max doesn't understand why Yi Feiyang is so confident in this drama, but he knows one thing very well. Miracles are created, and now, he just needs to sit quietly and wait for the miracle to appear!

At the same time, there are many people like Max who are also waiting for a miracle.

Mr. Raymond, the serious and old-fashioned boss of Paramount in a black suit, stared at the screen without blinking. A trailer was being released on the screen. He had been interested in this dreamy drama from the beginning because he believed in the horror director Yi Feiyang.

"Brand effect", think about it. For a director who scares people to death with his movies, wouldn't his new horror film be exciting? Therefore, he believes that this "Saw" may be another magical film by Yi Feiyang.

Works, a person who is good at creating miracles often creates legends.

In contrast, Shimen Gusta, who was stroking his mustache and smiling, was full of confidence in Yi Feiyang, because before that, he not only took a fancy to Yi Feiyang's "brand effect" in the field of horror films

, and very carefully analyzed the success rate of this drama.

In fact, except for Raymond and Gusta, everyone is looking forward to Yi Feiyang's new horror film. You know, Yi Feiyang's "Ghost Story" last year was so scary that it killed people alive.

Scared to Death caused an uproar in the horror field throughout North America and even the world. People were highly suspicious, what kind of drama can be so scary that it can scare people to death?! Then Yi Feiyang was condemned by many media and public opinions, saying that he did not care about life and death.

It is said that he has no limits when it comes to filming. Some hypocritical social groups have even taken advantage of the situation and claimed to boycott his horror films. But now, Yi Feiyang has not fallen. He has stood up again and has produced more interesting films.

A controversial film! And this drama will premiere tonight!

China Yi, a miracle in the field of horror, what kind of person is he? Can this film recast his glory as a horror director? The same question also concerns Milla Jovovich, Brad Pitt, Edward Norton, and

It rose in the minds of John Woo, Yu Rentai, Jackie Chan, Jet Li, Chow Yun-fat and others.

As everyone has been waiting, "Saw" finally kicked off on the big screen. As a movie produced by Fantasy Pictures, the opening scene shows a beautiful mermaid jumping out of the sea and rolling up waves under the blue sky.

, reflecting the subtitle of "Dream production, sure to be a good product".

If you have to evaluate this unique title of Fantasy Entertainment, there are only two words: beautiful!

In Hollywood, many film companies have their own unique titles. I am used to Paramount's Snow Mountain, MGM's The Big Hero, and Lionsgate's Lions Gate. Suddenly seeing such a vivid and beautiful picture is very surprising.

At first glance, the next thing to be screened should not be a horror film, but a romance film, or a literary film. Only in this way can it be worthy of such a dreamy and magnificent title.

On the big screen, as the words "Dream Production" appeared, the film officially started.

There are no unnecessary words, only the list of the creators under the flickering lights, accompanied by depressing music. The camera slowly zooms in, and the light on the entire big screen is controlled very subtly, from dim tones, slowly becoming brighter

, this is like the feeling of a person who has fainted and gradually opens his eyes to see the world.

Many viewers seemed to have not adapted to the brightness adjustment on the screen, but the pictures that gradually appeared made them clearly realize that the story had begun...

A person, a man to be precise, buried his head in the bathtub sink.

The camera slowly advanced, and when everyone in the audience thought he was a dead person, there was a sudden cough, and with a splash, his head was raised from the bathtub, coughing violently, and water stains flew everywhere.

Everyone is full of curiosity about this naked guy on the screen. Who is he and why did he bury his head in the water?

But on the screen, the person who was more curious than the audience was the guy who had just escaped from the water, because he found that one of his feet was handcuffed to a rusty iron pipe, and there was another person who was also handcuffed next to him.

Where is this man? Why is he being handcuffed here? Who is this guy who is as unlucky as himself?

The incredible layout on the big screen immediately attracted all the viewers to continue watching.

Yes, why they were kidnapped in the basement, a trace of doubt emerged in the minds of the audience.

As if to clear up the audience's doubts, on the big screen, two unlucky men who had never met each other began to talk to each other, telling each other their identities, their occupations, their family situations, and their...

What were you doing before the kidnapping...

The scene at this moment is like a Sherlock Holmes detective novel. Through the dialogue between the characters on the big screen, countless clues are thrown to the audience, allowing them to follow these clues and slowly peel off the cocoons to uncover the answer to the mystery.

However, for some people who are big-minded and don't like to spend too much time and effort, these so-called "dialogues" are inevitably a bit boring. What they want to see is blood, horror, heads falling to the ground, hands and feet cut off... To put it bluntly,

What they want to see is very low-level, but it can directly stimulate their senses without consuming any brain cells.

One minute has passed, two minutes have passed, three minutes have passed...

The film continues with the discussion between the two people, and the audience also understands their identities. It has already started for almost ten minutes, and the film has always exceeded everyone's expectations. There is no bloody violence, only the narration of the two people. If it were not for propaganda, it would be terrifying.

movie, quite a few people must think it is a police movie.

Although the movie attracts viewers to watch it, they are very dissatisfied with the fantasy promotion. Isn't this deceiving consumers?

"Oh God, how come this movie restricts minors? China Yi did not make a mistake?"

"Why did someone kidnap them? I really want to know the answer?"

"It's so boring. Is this a talk show?!"



Gusta from Lionsgate Pictures is still fine. He has read the script and knows the content of the story. However, President Raymond from Paramount does not understand and looks at Yi Feiyang in confusion. Although the plot is attractive, it is not up to his level.

ah.

Yi Feiyang smiled at Raymond and motioned for him to watch. With doubts in his heart, Raymond turned his eyes to the big screen again.

Yi Feiyang was sitting in the front row, listening to the audience's comments, with a slight smile on his lips. It was not just appreciation or insult. He had long been mentally prepared for such a reaction, and he could only explain it clearly.

Only by going through it can the audience be brought into the plot and become more interested in the end. But now it seems that doing this seems to be a bet, and I don’t know whether the audience will buy into the plot that follows... (To be continued.
