Chapter 64 No one cares
This limits the audience of the film, destined to be a broad market, and it must be a niche film.
As a buyer, Baker Larcent first focuses on the market, and market prospects are his only criterion for judging the film.
After "Blair the Witch", everyone wanted to imitate Lion Gate and pick up a big bargain from the St. Dennis Film Festival. Baker Larcent was relatively rational and knew that the miracle came from the marketing operation of large investment, not the film was born naturally. The audience of this "Fruit Hard Candy" was placed here and there was no value for large-scale operation.
According to this standard, the film's market potential can only be said to be unsuccessful, but some of the selling points that are full of them cannot be ignored.
First, fighting violence with violence is a very suitable act for audiences, which can at least make a considerable audience happy; second, Little Red Riding Hood is innocent and cute, and so cool, you must have a mind, act and act, and even your eyes can act; third, you can play in the room, besides the last blow, the burden can also be shaken, and it is definitely a low-cost model for making it, which fully meets the aesthetic standards of how fast, how good and cheap B-level films are; fourth, the editing is neat, and the music rhythm is tight, and the director tells a simple and sensitive story nervously and interestingly...
Everyone always has a different view of a movie. Bill Robbins had seen the rough cut version before, but there were no various sound effects added at that time. Now, after watching it, although he was a little surprised by Murphy's use of the lens and editing rhythm, he did not expect the final effect to be so good, but what impressed him the most was the various sounds in the videos he had never heard of before.
Voice-over of the dialogue between the male and female protagonists; the sudden disco that sounds sudden; the friction of ice cubes in the ice bag; the subtle sound of the scalpel cutting the skin; the painful gasp of the photographer; the shattering sound of the glass bottle falling through...
All of these were wonderfully integrated into the sound effects by the rookie Murphy Stanton, which mobilized his hearing, strengthened the character's psychology, and enhanced the shocking power of the film.
The applause that was not much was gradually extinguished after less than ten seconds of sound.
Watching the screen return to darkness, Murphy's heartstrings unconsciously tense up. The first screening in his life ended like this. This screening related to the future did not allow him to see through the chaos ahead.
Murphy stood up, his hands trembled slightly in a place where no one could pay attention to. Although he had experienced the cruel life of prison, he was still a young man, no matter how good his mental state was, he was a little nervous at this time.
Especially when I saw several professional moviegoers, Murphy took a long breath, so that the shaking on his hands did not spread to other parts of his body.
He almost put all his wealth on this film, which is also the beginning of a series of plans. If it fails, it is definitely not as simple as starting over. How could he not care?
"Have our video finished?" Paul Wilson next to him was a little stunned.
The audience has begun to leave one after another, and the professional viewers finally stood up. Murphy calmed down and reminded Paul Wilson, "If you feel lost, you can go outside and cry."
This scene is indeed different from what Paul Wilson expected. There is no long-lasting applause, no movie fans flock to congratulate, and no audience infected by the video asks for autographs...
