Chapter 270 The storm of terror swept across Asia(1/2)
On May 23, "Saw" has been logged into Japan, South Korea, Southeast Asia and other places for two days.
In order to get a good box office in these places, DreamWorks spent nearly five million to promote it before it was released, especially Japan's most investment in publicity.
Not to mention that Japan is still the largest box office base in Asia, just talking about the Japanese’s hobbies, movies like “Saw” can be said to be like fish in water.
If someone asks, will Japanese people like such a movie?
When these words were said, the Japanese were unhappy:
"Nani, you said "Saw" is too bloody and bloody, no one will watch it, haha... Let's take a look at our "Killer Ayi" and "Cutting the Throat", also known as "Organ", the famous Japanese underground movie "Guizumax Series". You can see those who know what perverts are."
Indeed, the Japanese desire beauty, but their personalities are extremely depressed. Island countries, especially island countries like Japan, where volcanic and earthquakes occur frequently, are obsessed with beautiful things, but the evil opposites of beautiful are also extreme.
With the nearly two thousand years of samurai spirit, just obeying orders, there may be no more obedient in the world than Japan. Various reasons, whether it is suppression, small living space, or obedience, are the various things that make the Japanese extremely perverted.
It can be seen from many aspects, no matter which aspect it is.
Therefore, "Saw" is very suitable for the taste of Japanese people, and the promotional cost of DreamWorks paintings is quite expensive.
As for South Korea, the ones that are biased are much smaller, and South Korea is also a country with inferiority and timidity for more than a thousand years.
But in order to get rid of this kind of inferiority complex, South Korea is extremely arrogant and distorted. The world's No. 1 Stick Country is not called casually, there is a reason.
As for Southeast Asian countries, DreamWorks just made a simple publicity, and occasionally some posters in front of cinemas are promoting it.
The theater vendors in these countries are very concerned about "Saw". As a bridgehead for Asian movies, Hong Kong has caused widespread discussion in Hong Kong, so they naturally have to pay attention to it.
The first day of release is exactly the same as when it was released in Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, and not many people paid attention to it.
These places at this moment are the Hollywood spy film "Life and Death" and the three-dimensional animated film "Teenagement of the Ninja Turtles".
So much so that on the first day, "Saw" only won a box office of less than 1.5 million yuan in Japan, which is the most popular country, and it is also the reason why it has a special liking for bloody movies.
South Korea is even more so, with only 540,000 yuan in box office, while the eight Southeast Asian countries won a box office equivalent to 2.38 million yuan.
However... gold always shines, and anyone who has watched "Saw" is shocked.
Unlike Japan's complete pervert and bloody connotation, "Saw" has a lot of connotations, but is buried under blood. Because the blood is ridiculous enough, movie fans often ignore the connotation.
The next day, "Saw" had a box office of 2.65 million in Japan, 890,000 in South Korea, and 4.02 million in the Eight Southeast Asian Countries.
And a widespread round of discussion began.
{"I heard about "Saw" some time ago. This film is produced by mainland companies and produced by DreamWorks. The Golden Lion Award-winning screenwriter of the best film in Venice.
This film has caused a terrifying storm in the mainland, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan. I was lucky enough to watch this video today. It was really good. No wonder the Chinese people are crazy about this film. This film deserves everyone's love."}
——【Singapore netizen】
{"Nani, it turned out to be a Chinese film. I know that Chinese kung fu films are very good. I like Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan, and Jet Li very much.
But today I watched "Saw" and it was so good.
I seriously suspect that the Chinese are just shooting for us, the plot of reasoning, bloody scenes, dazzling murder tools, and Saoga, I like it so much.
I heard that the screenwriter and producer of this film are Wang Meng and Wang Jun. I know him. I also saw the promotion of his new film "Painted Skin" some time ago. I didn't expect that there was a plot of "Painted Skin" at the end of "Saw".
A silver fox is so beautiful, the special effects are better than ours, and I also like Wang Jun's "Transformers".
Finally, Wang Jun seems to have never been to Japan. I hope that when Wang Jun’s new film "Painted Skin" is released, Wang Jun can come to Japan to promote it. Once again, I look forward to the people of the Greater Japanese welcome Wang Jun to Japan."}
——【Japanese netizen】.
Wang Meng shamelessly added the promotional video of "Painted Skin" at the end of "Saw", which is the clip of the Nine Sky Silver Fox and the pure special effects.
Wang Meng wanted to take this opportunity to promote "Painted Skin", which not only saves a lot of publicity costs, but also increases expectations. Many companies play like this, and Wang Meng doesn't think it's bad.
"I like Wang MengOba's "You, the Deskmate", is Wang MengOba so handsome? I like him so much, but Wang MengOba, you scared me to tears this time, how can you do this? But I forgive you, I really hope to give Wang MengOba a monkey."

"It's good to watch, good to watch or good to watch. It's very in line with the preferences of the Japanese people. Compared to our pure bloody perverts, "Saw" is more philosophical. It's hard to imagine that Chinese people have made such a movie. In recent years, Chinese movies have been refreshing my mind, including soft science fiction, magnificent costume productions, and now horror movies are so good. Chinese movies have progressed too quickly. From many foreshadowings, we can see that "Saw" will have a sequel, and we look forward to the wonderful story below."

"Saw" has praised a lot, but some Buddhist countries in Southeast Asia are not like this. Thailand has suffered a lot of cold treatment, which has led to the release of the film for three days because there were too many attacks.
This led to DreamWorks and Liu Zhiyuan being named an unpopular Chinese film company and director.
DreamWorks thought of such a situation, and thought that Hong Kong bridgeheads were popular, and Southeast Asia should be the same.
But... because of lack of experience, this time it was almost DreamWorks who contacted the overseas release, so they encountered trouble.
Fortunately, Thailand is not a big box office power. It is indeed very powerful in Southeast Asia, but it is far behind Japan and South Korea.
Especially in Japan, the upward momentum is outrageous than in China. In the first seven days of the week, Japan scored a box office of RMB 16.34 million, which is quite different from more than 18 million in the mainland.
Even in the second week, it completely surpassed the mainland.
The reason is very simple. First, the Japanese do like such movies. Second, the box office of Japanese movies is indeed better than that of China.
In a week in South Korea, "Saw" won a total box office of 5.21 million, and the eight Southeast Asian countries became seven countries, winning a box office of 18.23 million.
A terrifying storm starting from China completely swept across Asia.
In the mainland, after winning a box office of 30 million in the first two weeks, the third week declined severely, with only less than 9 million in the box office, which was a congenital deficit, plus it was released for three weeks. Such a result is reasonable. In total, the mainland won a total box office of 39.24 million in three weeks, but the record has been breaking.
The three places in Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, which were released for two weeks, had a box office of 17 million in the first week, but did not decline significantly in the second week. The three places achieved a box office of 14.34 million in total, with a total box office of 32.34 million in Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan.
Three weeks in the mainland, two weeks in Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, and one week in Japan, South Korea and Southeast Asia. The total box office is expected. "Saw" has scored 111.1 million yuan.
The total box office of "Saw" officially exceeded 100 million yuan.
When the news came back to the mainland, many people were so scared that they opened their mouths wide, especially the bosses of film and television companies.
Everyone knows that the investment of "Saw" is 2 million, plus all the promotional expenses of 8 million, which is 10 million investment.
Now, just talking about the 40 million box office in the mainland and a 35% share, DreamWorks has received a net income of 14 million.
DreamWorks, a share of Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, received a share of 30%, while a box office of 32.34 million is a box office of 9.7 million.
The total box office in overseas Japan, Southeast Asia, South Korea and other places has nearly 40 million yuan. According to the share ratio of these countries, the net income of 9 million yuan is 25%. Moreover, these places have only been a week! Moreover, it is the first week after the reputation is overwhelming.
For three weeks in the mainland, two weeks in Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, and one week overseas, DreamWorks has achieved net income of nearly 31 million yuan with "Saw", and in addition to 10 million yuan of investment, there is also 21 million yuan of net income.
It is expected that the mainland will be released for 3 to 4 weeks. Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan and other places will have 3 to 4 weeks. Overseas will be released for 4 to 5 weeks.
If all these places were released and released, it is unknown how much box office they could reach. In short, it is an astronomical figure. In short, DreamWorks made a lot of money.
So, the entertainment industry, which had already cooled down a little, began to discuss it again.
"Dreamworks' NC-level movie "Saw" is moving forward bravely, with nearly 40 million box offices in mainland China in three weeks, 33 million box offices in Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan in two weeks, and nearly 40 million box offices in overseas week, and a total global box office of 111 million yuan. "Saw" officially exceeded 100 million yuan, which is a victory for Chinese films and a victory for new directors. DreamWorks Liu Zhiyuan became famous with this film. It is understood that DreamWorks' personnel have targeted North America, Europe, Oceania and other places. The road to "Saw" in the future is still far away. Let's wait and see."

{"A terrifying storm swept across Asia, DreamWorks new film, Wang Meng produced, directed by Liu Zhiyuan, and screenwriter Wang Meng, swept across Asia, and made rapid progress with a spirit of killing gods and Buddhas.
The total overseas box office, the total box office in the mainland, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan has exceeded 100 million. Especially in Japan, the momentum of "Saw" in Japan is expected to surpass that in the mainland. Many Japanese netizens not only sighed that this film was filmed by Chinese people for the Japanese.
It is not difficult to see from the love of Japanese movie fans that North America and Europe, which are also loved by such films, will also set off a terrifying storm. What DreamWorks said before - the global release is unstoppable.
I remember that DreamWorks' soft science fiction movie "This Man from Earth" attracted a lot of attention in Asia. After that, "This Man" was logged into Europe and was adapted from North America.
But - its influence and popularity are not at the same level compared to today's "Saw".
Now DreamWorks set out again, not meeting its current achievements, but moving forward with its head held high and overcoming obstacles. This is the attitude that Chinese filmmakers should have, and they like DreamWorks...
DreamWorks’ dissatisfaction is not a saying. Wang Meng’s new film "Painted Skin" is currently being filmed and is expected to be released in September, and may be released globally.
How far can "Saw" go? We will wait and see how far it can go. We look forward to the horror storm of "Saw" not only sweeping Asia, but also sweeping the world."}
——【A certain film critic】
Recently, since "Saw" has been released in mainland China for three weeks, its downward momentum is very obvious. After the initial hot period, the criticism of "Saw" has also begun.
But these critics are in trouble.
Some time ago, I gritted my teeth and wanted to scold "Saw", but the box office of Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan has been sent back. Who dares to scold such achievements?
So these people endured it, and finally waited until the third week of "Saw" to show the decline. So, a group of people had already thought of a critical article of tens of thousands of words, and they just waited for the time to start scolding.
For this reason, the hands of these people wrote were painful, and they were excited to read, waiting for the opportunity.
As a result... It's a dog...
Is it over?
"Saw" has brought glory to the country, swept Asia, and brought about a terrifying storm.
OK, still can't scold me? Wait a little longer.
But when they heard the news that North America and Europe were about to be released, these people were stunned. According to the pace of "Saw", it seemed that a week later, good news from North America and Europe would be transmitted back to China.
That's how you scolded me? At that time, you were all praised, and you were still scolding me, and you were looking for death?
These people were so angry that they were so angry that they were so angry that they were so angry that they burned all the tens of thousands of words of writing.
Hurry up - we don't bring this kind of fun, we have collected the money, we don't want to refund, we want to have a meal.
The joyful Dream Factory is very happy recently, and her cheeks are so painful that she smiles.
Recently, Liu Zhiyuan has become the most famous internal director of DreamWorks under Wang Meng. Liu Zhiyuan has become a photographer who was discovered by Wang Meng to become a royal photographer, and has also successfully become a horror director who wants to go abroad. He has become a role model for everyone to learn from recently.
In the second week of its overseas release, "Saw", led by Japan, has been in full swing all the way.
