"Boss, they're ready."
In a small building in Burbank, Jones Butler accompanied a fat man to the studio and said as he walked, "I promise that the video will definitely make people shine. This is the best horror movie I have seen in the past two years."
Harvey Weinstein turned his head to look at Jones Butler, "Was that little director really progressing so fast?"
Jones Butler nodded solemnly, "Although it is not appropriate, I think the gap between "Hard Fruit Candy" and "Saw" is like Spielberg's "The Silly Girl" and "The Great White Jaws" back then."
The film itself cannot be compared, but there are certain similarities in the changes in the directorial level between the two works.
The two walked to the studio, and Jones Butler stepped forward and opened the door. Harvey Wayne Stein walked in first. There were several market evaluators from Miramax Film in the studio. On the projector behind them, the director who had seen him once was taking two people, one fat and one thin, doing preparations before the screening.
Murphy also saw Harvey Weinstein. For him, this was a real super big boss in the industry. He immediately put down his work and quickly met him.
"Hello, Mr. Weinstein." The appearance of Harvey Weinstein gave him some surprises.
The fat man opposite didn't say anything, but nodded to him. Jones Butler walked over and whispered, "How are you doing?"
Murphy didn't care, and nodded, "You can start anytime."
Jones Butler glanced at Harvey Weinstein, and after the fat man sat down, he said, "Let's start."
At Murphy's signal, Seth Logan went to close the curtains, James Franco turned off the lights, Murphy stood behind the projector, and the light lit up on the screen opposite.
All the people in the studio, including Harvey Weinstein, were focused on the screen.
Murphy was at ease with his own screenwriter, occasionally looking at the front, Miramax's people were watching movies attentively, and many of them would occasionally fall on the notebook. The main target of his observation was Harvey Weinstein. He could not see the fat man's expression from behind, but his body was straight and he seemed to have not changed his posture for a long time.
What does this mean? One is that you may fall asleep, and the other is that you are completely attracted by the movie.
No matter what aspect he thinks, Murphy believes that the possibility of the first item is infinitely low. This is "Saw". With his current ability, he may not be much better than the one he used to do, but it will not be too bad, especially the cross montage used extensively, which throws out enough suspense and large-scale bloody shots.
In the East, these shots bring more disgusting, but traditional horror films in North America are completely different from the other side of the ocean. Often, the more plasma the more horrible it becomes.
This is not Murphy's own opinion, but an objective existence.
If a horror movie cannot even do the most basic horror atmosphere well, it will inevitably fail. His film won't be able to do it. When the character played by Carey Mulligan jumps into the vast ocean of a syringe, it is obvious that several people can hear a low voice.
Jones Butler was breathing quickly and whispering. Even though he had watched it for the second time, the hole in the ten thousand needles still looked damaged.
When Jonah Hill's fat man appeared in the gillnet maze, his blood, gastric juice, tears, and saliva were flowing all the way, he looked like...
Harvey Weinstein finally changed his position, subconsciously raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, unconsciously thinking of himself, and his fat body had a cold war.
This movie is really scary.
There is also the joint twisting frame behind it, which breaks a person's body...
A few people turned their heads and looked back. They wanted to know how perverted the director had to be in order to come up with these fancy ways to kill people.
What they saw was a young, calm and serious face.
When he saw the caregiver breaking into the secret room, Harvey Weinstein nodded slightly. This is a very good horror film. It can be said that it has gathered many advantages of traditional Hollywood horror films and cleverly made up for many defects of traditional plasma films.
Harvey Weinstein has enough knowledge of the horror films produced in Hollywood. Many of them are similar plasma killings. Of course, this is also a market demand, because the cultural barrier is the smallest, the most widely spread, and the most popular fans are always this kind of crazy killing feast that doesn't require much brains, especially those series of sequels, such as "Ghost Street", "Friday of the 13th" and "Texas Chainsaw Massacre"...
Even Miramax's ace series "Scream" can be summarized into this genre.
There is no doubt that these traditional killing movies have certain flaws, and often use a far-fetched, perverted or supernatural excuse to create a vicious murderous demon king. The biggest highlight is nothing more than a variety of death methods that challenge the limits.
The biggest problem this brings is the audience's aesthetic fatigue, which directly leads to the sluggish market for traditional horror films in recent years.
This "Saw" is obviously different. Although it is shown in violence and blood, it actually has abundant entertainment elements, mechanism traps, dark human nature, closed space, and the answer to the real murderer.
The dirty sets, chilling murder mechanisms, and painful abuse scenes are all filled with a strong sense of horror. They skillfully use flash forwards and flashes to explain intricate clues. The plot connection and nesting are even more comparable to the exquisiteness of detective novels. With the appearance of B-level movies, it is a superb suspense film of first-class quality, which can be watched repeatedly, tasted, verified, and even resonated.
This is an excellent horror movie.
Harvey Weinstein made a judgment, but his fat face kept calm. Such horror movies are indeed rare in recent years, but they are not as exaggerated as Jones Butler said, right?
But the next moment, he changed his opinion.
The caregiver was not the culprit. The corpse lying in the secret room stood up. His body was hunched and looked aged and weak, but his eyes in the close-up were extremely sharp, as if he could see through everything in this world.
Then the flashback cross montage appeared, especially the police's words "The murderer likes to watch his masterpieces up close", which made many people suddenly realize.
Harvey Weinstein held the armrest of the chair with one hand tightly, with a hint of surprise on his fat face. Despite countless movies, the ending was completely unexpected.
