Dominating Hollywood: Starting with Scarlett

Chapter 160 The final word

The apology letter from the crew did not contain much text, only mentioning the name of the film and the cause of the Jigsaw incident.

That video was actually a camera position of the "Saw" crew. After the two frightened and crying robbers were taken away by the police station, the photographer felt that it was very real and would not reveal any crew information, so he posted it online. .

And those Billy dolls were just a part of the publicity. Unexpectedly, they attracted so many people's attention and even caused panic among the citizens of New York City.

In addition, the apology letter focused on the torture instruments and Jigsaw himself.

"We did create a lot of horrific torture devices because they were essential props to flesh out Jigsaw's character."

"The body twisting machine is just one of them. There are even more exciting torture devices in the movie."

"Even the staff were frightened to tears by the torture instruments and realistic scenes. It is recommended that those who are timid should not go to the theater to watch it."

"This movie is a consideration of human nature, and Jigsaw has an extraordinary charm that makes people both love and hate him."

And they also expressed a deeper apology at the end.

In addition, in the past two days, various newspapers reported that the realistic scenes of "Saw" scared the robbers into tears, which made many people interested in the movie.

Pumpkin Ghost: "Jigsaw is real. Are the crew's statement and the police's clarification false?"

Especially under the deliberate guidance of the media, the origin and process of the whole incident were downplayed, and instead the emphasis was placed on the real scenes and horrific torture instruments.

Pumpkin Man 0991: "In fact, this crew came out of nowhere. I have never heard of it before."

Thriller Glasses: "What do you mean?"

Commander James: "Of course it's because of the cover-up of the scandal! As we all know, there are a lot of scandals in the FBI's undisclosed documents. Maybe Jigsaw is a former FBI employee. Because he was dissatisfied with the government, he came out to punish the evildoers in his own way."

Zodiac Killer: "Why is it impossible? I think this is all a government conspiracy. Jigsaw is a real murderer. In order to avoid causing panic, they dragged the crew out as a shield. The robber was also arrested. The prosecutor said this after pardoning him.”

"Yeah, it sounds pretty awesome. I hope those who are timid won't go to the theater?" Although Mirren was a little scared, he expressed his disdain for it.

"It should be true." Mirren was much more optimistic than Judy: "This is just the crew's way of promoting the movie. Damn it, we have been worried about this for so long."

And there are not a few people who think like Mirren.

"We are deeply disturbed by the panic caused by the movie clip. To express our apology, we will book a theater to show "Saw" for free to New Yorkers for two days, and will also distribute free puppet Billy in the city center. peripheral dolls.”

In the new issue's pinned post about the crew's apology letter, Gurchi's ID Pumpkin Ghost said: "What if, I mean what if, the whole thing is actually true?"

Thriller Glasses: "But movie shooting usually takes several months. Maybe this movie was shot last year, long before Jigsaw appeared!"

Jigsaw cultist Weiner: "Yes, I saw an interview with the crew. They said that the film was shot in just over 20 days. This further proves that they must have filmed it after Jigsaw appeared. .”

"Okay, I hope so, but are their scenes really that realistic? Can they scare the two robbers into tears?"

But Horrible Pumpkin Head’s discussion of this matter is not over yet.

Horror Glasses: "This proves nothing. Horror movies are made quickly. And why did the government cover up Jigsaw?"

Because there is no specific explanation on the Jigsaw website and Tokyo IP, the apology letter leaves the whole matter still ambiguous.

"So is this true or false?" Judy became confused. Although there was a clarification from the crew and the interview with the robber himself, the matter seemed to have cleared up and revealed the truth.

But for some reason, she still felt a little uneasy.

Thriller Glasses: "How is that possible!"

Pumpkin Ghost: "Wait! Are you Admiral James?"

Commander James: "Jie Jie Jie, yes, I'm back again."

Horror Glasses: "Your IP is obviously blocked!"

Commander James: "I said I was in the army and had a lot of computers. Do you think I was lying to you?"

Zodiac Killer: "No, I just think the country is going to be screwed with people like you in the military."

Jigsaw cultist Weiner: "Anyway, Jigsaw is real. If you don't believe it, you can go to his webpage. He also commented on it."

Mirren quickly clicked on the SAW website and found that the latest message was hanging high on the homepage.

"Blind trust will be the last spoonful of hot oil poured on the lambs' skulls."

"WTF!" He was in disbelief and covered his head with his hands.

So jigsaws really exist?
Or is this just another trick by the crew?
He really couldn't tell the difference for a moment.

However, although Mirren couldn't tell the difference, the crazy people active in major forums on the Internet unanimously believed that this was a conspiracy, a conspiracy to cover up Jigsaw's existence.

Because they believe that the jigsaw that can write such profound and alarming words and develop so many horrific torture instruments must be real.

Using torture tools to consider fragile human nature is the significance of his appearance.

So they hyped up the proof of Jigsaw's existence on the forum, including but not limited to Tokyo's IP, the crew's too-fast shooting and the police's inconsistent attitude, etc.

This caused many young people to believe it, and even the "Saw" crew was considered to be an imitation of Jigsaw.

But no one said they should boycott this movie because everyone has a common understanding of it.

Just like Pumpkin Man 0991's speech. "If the movie is to cover up the existence of Jigsaw, then we cannot let anyone smear him! We must fight back after watching the movie!"

"If Jigsaw was born in a movie, then we should also watch the movie, and maybe we can find the true prototype and concept of Jigsaw."

With this idea in mind, many loyal fans of Jigsaw also plan to watch the movie.

But in real life, more people are just curious about how terrifying the movie "Saw" is.

"Did you hear that? It was just a movie. Damn it, it made me buy two more guns."

"That's right, but it seems like there were real robbers who were scared to death. The crew also said that cowards shouldn't watch it."

"Who is the coward? Me? Or you? Hahaha, just kidding, it's just a horror movie."

"So you want to go see it?"

"Of course! I have to go see what kind of movie it is that dares to say such big words."

Such chats can be found all over the United States. Although some people are dissatisfied with the production's promotion of such realistic effects, these people are limited to New York. In fact, people from other states are watching with the mentality of having fun. this matter.

So after learning that this was a movie, everyone became more interested.

Even in New York City, some young people are rushing to make a promise to go to the movies, because no one wants to be called a coward, especially if the robbers are really scared to cry, which is even more exciting. It stimulates young people’s comparison and desire to win.

At this moment, Tang De's publicity plan was finally a great success. He successfully made this unremarkable movie gain a reputation that was beyond its size.

When New Line President Shea learned the news, he could only shake his head and sigh.

"What should I do? Boss?" Keller from the publicity department didn't know what to do. They were obviously planning to expose it, but the Saw crew actually broke the news themselves first.

You must know that breaking the news by yourself and breaking the news by others are two completely different concepts.

The latter will only make people feel deceived, but the former can make people think it is a misunderstanding or a mistake.

Coupled with the fact that the crew's apology attitude was very low and they promised their own remedial measures in the newspaper, the impact of this incident was reduced to an acceptable level.

"The most important thing is that this movie sparked a discussion across America." This is something Shay really feels powerless about.

This is much better than the advertising space they bought to promote it. Shea doesn't know how much the movie's box office will be on the first day, but it always feels like it will exceed his imagination.

"What an amazing promotion." Shay looked at the lemons on the table and suddenly lost his appetite: "Go check the producer and distribution company of this movie."

"Okay." Keller finished the task and left the office.

He was busy with work matters all afternoon and did not leave the company until half past six.

And just as he was driving past the square, he suddenly saw an advertisement appearing on the big screen not far away.

In the advertisement, the scene is all black, with only a beam of angel light shining directly from the top of the head, illuminating a wooden floor.

Then the sound of "squeaking" came out, and a puppet with a pale face and two red circles painted on his apples came slowly from the darkness on a children's bicycle and stopped under the light.

It was wearing a clean suit and a red tie, and its pupils were also strangely red.

Keller immediately recognized this as Billy, the representative of Jigsaw in "Saw".

There is no doubt that this should be a promotional advertisement for the movie.

Keller quickly turned around, stopped on the side of the road, and pulled down the window to take a closer look.

On the screen, after stopping his bicycle, Billy laughed twice, suddenly opened his mouth, and said to everyone: "Good evening, everyone, I want to play a game with you guys."

After these words, various torture sequences from the movie flash by quickly, while music and Billy's narration play.

"This game is about morality, it's about money, it's about ideals."

"Either leave alive or sleep forever."

When the movie clip ends, Billy turns away on his bicycle.

"If you are willing to accept this invitation, see you there on October 10th."

As it spoke, it threw out an invitation letter, which floated in the center of the screen, revealing a line of text.

""Saw" is scheduled to be released! On October 10th, let's judge humanity together!"

After watching the entire advertisement, Keller's heart was pounding. He deliberately observed the reactions of passers-by, and found that everyone was pointing at the advertisement.

Clearly, this fun movie ad caught everyone's attention.

"This can't work!" Keller felt that the Saw promotion team was really a genius, and could actually come up with such a representative symbol as Billy.

It can also be photographed in such an interesting way.

Anyone who works in publicity knows how powerful an iconic figure or symbol can be.

Therefore, if there is no further achievement on its part, "Texas" will face being abandoned by the audience.
