The popularity of "Saw" is largely due to its incredible, heavy-tasting plot.
Wire fence escape is just one of them.
It also includes the 'password wall' game.
A hapless man with the same fate as Adam wakes up in a closed secret room.
He was injected with chronic poison, and the antidote was locked in a safe.
To take out the antidote and survive, the unlucky guy had to walk on the floor full of glass slag with a candle and take the wall around him to see the password. He tried it over and over again, but he didn't know that it was so simple. The murderer applied flammable substance on him. If he was not careful, he would be affected by the candle's flame and his whole body was burned.
But... in order to see the passwords on the surrounding walls, he had to keep walking around the glass-covered ground with candles.
The glass slag under his feet became more and more painful. The password could not be opened again and again. The chronic poison made his consciousness weaker, but the pain made him more and more irritable... The last accident happened, and the candle touched the flammable object on his body, so the whole person burned and turned into a burnt corpse.
When everyone followed Wei Xun and walked through one murder scene after another prop room, after listening to these heavy-tasting stories described by Wei Xun, they all felt their faces turned pale.
"What a perverted plot."
"I feel a little numb now, how do I think of this."
"But it seems... this is what the horror and bloody movies want. Anyway, such movies cannot be released in China, so our ideas don't seem to be used as a reference. Why not listen to Charles's ideas?"
Bao Qiang, Kang Cheng and others said this and looked at Charles.
This actor Bao Qiang invited from the Actors Guild is the only American here.
After "Saw" is filmed, it will be released in the United States.
“I think… it’s cool.”
Charles' eyes were bright at this moment. After following Wei Xun to visit several prop rooms, he listened to the short story designed by Wei Xun, and said with a slightly excited expression: "Brother, you are simply a heavy-tasting genius. With such a plot, there are definitely a large number of viewers willing to pay for it in the US R-level film market. Maybe you can really shoot a very good movie. I am a horror movie lover myself, and I feel that I will definitely not go wrong!"
Looking at Charles, Bao Qiang, Kang Cheng and others with excited expressions looked at each other.
Then the heartbeats of the four directors began to beating faster.
They looked at Charles with a determined look on their faces, then looked at Wei Xun, thinking in their hearts... Maybe, maybe this "Saw" could really open up the market in the United States?
After all, the cultures in the whole world are different. For example, the Chinese comedy films cannot achieve results in the Ome market because the two countries have different funny points.
But fear, blood, fear, these emotions are the same.
Perhaps this is why Wei Xun chose to use R-level horror movies in the United States as an entry point for opening up the market.
However, looking at the excited Chinese people present, Charles poured a basin of cold water. He frowned and said, "But I am frank, you have a very fatal problem."
Very fatal problem?
Wei Xun raised his eyebrows when he heard this and asked, "What's the question?"
"He is a Chinese."
Charles pointed his hand at Kang Cheng and said regretfully: "If you can replace the male lead Adam with an American, you should have a good box office when the film is released, because I have never seen a movie where a Chinese man is a male lead, and he can achieve success in Hollywood."
After he said this, everyone on the scene was silent.
Kang Cheng hesitated and said, "Or else, I'll just start shooting now..."
"Why should you change? There has never been a movie where Chinese actors can make achievements in Hollywood, so the movie we made is more meaningful, right? There wasn't it before, it didn't matter, but from us, there will be one."
Wei Xun interrupted him with a smile and said, "To put it bluntly, Hollywood is just a gathering place for filmmakers. All we have to do now is to come in and get an entrance ticket."
It was obviously a very calm tone, but when Wei Xun said this, it seemed to have some kind of confidence and almost arrogant power.
Kang Cheng, Bao Qiang and others were all moved by his power.
Who said that Chinese people cannot make achievements in Hollywood? Are you working hard now?
There are also the best young directors in China like Wei Xun who are leading the team. Since that's the case, why are you afraid!
Just do it!
"I think Director Wei is right. Are we just making a movie now?"
"And the horror plot of "Saw" has touched Charles, and it may not be that it will not impress more Americans, or even people from all over the world in the future."
"If none of us have the confidence to enter Hollywood, how can we expect young filmmakers from China to go abroad?"
After hearing Wei Xun's words, Bao Qiang and others were very energetic.
Charles looked at the group of young Chinese directors with great confidence and muttered hesitantly: "Damn, I really believe you will succeed. This simply breaks my view of Chinese filmmakers."
"It's not that we believe we will succeed, it's that we must succeed."
Wei Xun smiled and said, "Okay, everyone will continue to work and shoot. In the evening, you will finish the scene of the barbed wire. Kang Cheng will do it. Bao Qiang and I will be responsible for the filming."
This is how time is saved.
When shooting and editing, basically, the film can be cut out after the two-week shooting cycle is over.
As for the editing room, you can rent it in Hollywood.
In addition to Charles, several other characters needed in the movie can easily be rented into the actors' union.
Encouraged by Wei Xun, Kang Cheng, Bao Qiang, Lin Fan and Xiao Xiaoyang's enthusiasm for work was surprisingly high.
As the youngest and best group of young directors in China, everyone wants to make some achievements in Hollywood with all their might.
So Wei Xun and Kang Cheng took turns shooting, and the rest of the time was spent editing and running in lines. The shooting progress of "Saw" was very gratifying. After only 12 days, it was almost over.
At this moment, news suddenly broke out on domestic forums. It is said that Wei Xun, who went to study in Hollywood in the United States, made a bet with Baldwin.
A shocking bet worth ten million US dollars.
Wei Xun plans to spend 20 days shooting a horror movie and challenge Baldwin's "Ghost Baby".
As soon as this news came out, it caused a lot of discussion on the domestic Internet.
