For a R-rated horror film to be able to successfully surpass 100 million dollars four weeks after its release, this definitely shocked many American filmmakers.

However, the shrewd American entertainment media will not praise such a Chinese-produced horror film. On the contrary, they compared "The Matrix" with this "Saw" film.

Logically speaking, there is no comparison between a science fiction film and a horror film. However, American reporters are very skilled, and they managed to find n number of similarities between these two films.

First of all, these two dramas were shot by the best new Hollywood directors, one is the Wachowski brothers and the other is China Yi; secondly, these two dramas both explore human nature, one is for reality, and the other is for virtual reality.

; Finally, both dramas have designed topics and highlights, one is the much-discussed matrix principle, and the other is the killing machine that has received mixed reviews.

But obviously, as the mainstream media in Hollywood, everyone seems to have a more favorable impression of the drama "The Matrix".

Some media boasted: "The birth of "The Matrix" ushered in a new era of science fiction. Its ability to overtake "Star Wars" to dominate the box office this week shows that the new era will definitely replace the old era. In addition, this drama has

From a more profound perspective, it explores human beings’ self-examination and redemption of their sense of existence, and is full of avant-garde science fiction spirit!”

"Let's look back at "Chainsaw" shot by China Yi. If I look at it from my personal point of view, I will unceremoniously comment in two words: shit! Yes, it is shit! Not because of me

Is there any particular racial discrimination? It’s not because I’m too sensitive to Chinese Americans, nor is it because I’m not interested in horror movies... On the contrary, I really like watching horror movies. I’ve been immersed in werewolf and vampire stories since I was a child.

Because of this, I sneer at this kind of pretentious movie that tries hard to show off blood and disgusting images! Compared with "The Matrix", it is not up to par at all!"

Another American media also said: "Oh my God, this is the best science fiction film I have ever seen! Yes, the incredible imagination of the director of this film has constructed the future electronic world, allowing humans to serve as electronic symbols.

Exists in the hard drive. If you have to find a movie that can illustrate this principle, then it is "The City" produced by New Line Cinema last year. However, in "The City" the male protagonist finally discovers the eternal soul in the movie.

The huge dark city that changes upside down every midnight turns out to be a floating body in space controlled by aliens with super powers; similarly, in "The Matrix", the protagonist Nick wakes up and discovers that he is just a living being

A data symbol in the future electronic world. This bold assumption that overturns the theory of God’s creation of man and the creation of the Bible has made the Wachowski brothers famous for their genius!”

"In comparison, the horror film "Saw" was also shot by a new director. I heard that the name is quite famous, but in terms of the depth of expression and the shooting method of the whole film, "Saw"

"Chainsaw" fell into the inferior category! Yes, this is a ninth-rate horror film that occasionally became popular due to its bloody gimmicks! I really don't know why so many media praised it so much before. Could it be that. Just design a few murders

Mechanism, and then self-talkingly endows it with some sacred meaning of killing, and then says that this drama is a classic horror film in an otherworldly way?! Ridiculous! Really ridiculous! Even God would probably laugh at such a big, unfounded joke.

My stomach hurts! Looking back and looking at the Internet and newspaper hype before this movie, we can clearly see at a glance that "Saw" is actually a low-cost trash movie!"

It is undeniable that in the mainstream media of North America, most people think that "Saw" cannot compare with "The Matrix", whether it is in terms of quantity or box office.

"Saw" has exceeded 100 million in four weeks, while "The Matrix" has exceeded 100 million in three weeks of release, and the box office of this movie has now accumulated more than 300 million. How can the movie "Saw" compare?

!

From a director's point of view, the Wachowski brothers are also serious white people, but Yi Feiyang is Chinese; from the perspective of debut, the Wachowski brothers are much more formal than Yi Feiyang, who became a monk on the way;

Judging from the talent of both parties, Yi Feiyang's biggest achievements so far are horror films and adult films, but the audiences of these two films are limited. Unlike the Wachowski brothers, who are good at science fiction films, this type of film can

It is said to be popular, and it can be popular in North America and even the world.

Therefore, after a comparison between the two sides, the Wachowski brothers won out and became a group of talented Hollywood brothers. They overcame Yi Feiyang and became a new Hollywood upstart!

However, some people think that this judgment is unfair.

First of all, there are three reasons why Yi Feiyang's "Saw" was not as good as "The Matrix" at the box office. First, there were fewer theaters than "The Matrix". When Fantasy launched "Chainsaw", there were only 1,500 theaters.

There are more than 2,500 "Hackers" produced by Warner, and the difference in theaters is almost 1,000; secondly, "Saw" is a real R-rated film, which greatly limits the viewing of minors. As we all know, in the United States, in the United States,

The number of viewers of minors reaches tens of millions; thirdly, the American mainstream media recommends "The Matrix" much more strongly than "Saw", which has always struggled with polarized reviews.

.

Based on the above reasons, some analysts pointed out that if "Chainsaw" and "Hackers" were put on the same starting line, the box office success of "Chainsaw" would be at least double its current level! From an investment perspective, "Chainsaw"

The investment in the filming of "Saw" was more than 1.5 million US dollars. Including publicity and other expenses, the total investment is estimated to be around 5 million. The current box office revenue is more than 100 million US dollars, with an investment-to-income ratio of 1:20; the investment amount of "The Matrix" is 6,000

Ten thousand US dollars, plus publicity expenses of up to 80 million US dollars, the North American box office revenue now reaches more than 300 million, and the investment-to-income ratio is 1:5. In this way, it is obvious which drama is more successful!

Of course, these are all things that happened four weeks after the release of "Saw". In fact, the final comparison between "The Matrix" and "Saw" cannot be made at this time. You must know that "The Matrix" was released earlier than "Saw"

, the overseas box office data of both parties has not yet been calculated, so it is too early to compare.

Just when the whole of Hollywood was in an uproar over this, Yi Feiyang, who was compared to the Wachowski brothers, was enjoying a very romantic vacation on the beach in Santa Monica near Los Angeles.

The golden beach, the blue sea water, the leafy coconut trees, and the sky with white clouds are all painted with a dazzling and magical golden color by the setting sun. A ray of glow in the distance

Behind the mountain rises up like a raging flame, causing the azure clouds to gradually burn. The wind, sunset, sea water and beach gradually merge together in the pursuit and play of each other, reflecting the beauty of each other.

On the beach where the sea breeze blows gently, you will always meet people who stick together sweetly. Two lovers playing guitar and singing in the sea breeze look at each other happily, with the light of love in their eyes. The boy plays

Playing the guitar, the girl sang a cappella song, and their eyes never separated. They met each other, regardless of you and me.

Happy people always have the same happiness!

Next to the coconut tree, a wandering artist is playing the guitar.

Yi Feiyang was wearing beach pants and a straw hat and put $20 into the homeless artist's guitar case.

The guitar artist nodded and expressed his gratitude.

Yi Feiyang said: "No need to thank me. Man, I need your help!"

"Oh tell me, what to do?"

"Well...I hope you can play a more beautiful song about love later..."

"Oh man, I get it, you're going to propose to your girlfriend?"

"No, no, it's not that time yet."

"Is that the 100-day anniversary?"

"It's not that... I just want to give her a surprise. Give her a formal commitment!"

"Oh, I really understand this time... What a great man!" The guitar man gave a thumbs up.

Yi Feiyang smiled, "Yes, a good man, a great guy!"

…

There was music, and of course there were flowers, but it was a pity that Yi Feiyang forgot to prepare. In fact, Yi Feiyang's affectionate confession to Hathaway this time was an impromptu move without any preparation.

But it doesn't matter, what does he do for food? Director, there is no such thing as being a director.

I saw him running to the beach, and soon found a target. A fat white man was holding a large bouquet of flowers to present to his girlfriend, who was also fat.

"Excuse me, friend." Yi Feiyang said, "Can you sell me the flowers in your hand?"

"Ha, what did you say? Sell you my flowers?" The fat white man pushed up his sunglasses, "God, is there water in your head? Do you see that this bouquet of flowers is for me?

Dear Alice, I will never sell it to you, yes, never!" the fat man said sonorously and forcefully.

Fat girlfriend Alice is so happy because her boyfriend is so principled and loves her so much.

Yi Feiyang: "How about 100 US dollars?"

"Ha, you want to bribe me with 100 US dollars. You underestimate my love for Alice! Let me tell you, love cannot be bought with money!"

"Yes, you underestimate his love for me!" The fat woman rolled her eyes at Yi Feiyang.

"Where's the $150?"

Gudu, the fat man swallowed, "I said, love cannot be bought with money... My love for Alice is loyal, and this bouquet of flowers will only belong to her!"

"300 US dollars, no more!" Yi Feiyang took out three hundred US dollars and waved it in front of the fat man.

"Oh damn, I said..."

"Well, it seems like you are really determined, so I have to buy someone else's..." Yi Feiyang was about to change his target.

But the fat man took away his 300 US dollars at an extremely fast speed, "As I said, love cannot be bought with money, but flowers can!"

Yi Feiyang smiled, "Thank you!"

"Wow!" The fat woman almost cried, "Damn it, you said you loved me just now!"

The fat man flicked the dollar bills with his fingers and said, "300. If I love you less, my pocket will be bigger! Come on, I'll treat you to a barbecue..."

The fat woman burst into laughter.

…

The coconut breeze blows slowly, and the waves throw up a few sprays, like graceful dancing.

Yi Feiyang held the flowers behind his hands and stood under the coconut tree. Opposite him, Anne Hathaway was wearing a refreshing gauze skirt and walking slowly on the soft beach.

Anne Hathaway didn't know what he was doing. She looked at Yi Feiyang with a gentle smile on his face and said, "Hey Yi, why did you ask me to come over?"

"I have a gift for you."

"Gift?" Hathaway's cheeks turned red as she thought of the shoes Yi Feiyang gave her last time and the extremely ambiguous scene.

"Then why don't you take it out?" Hathaway said playfully.

"Come right away!" Yi Feiyang signaled. The guitar man next to him plucked the strings and played the beautiful guitar.

The red sun slowly set. In the beautiful music, Yi Feiyang showed the bright bouquet of flowers from behind, handed it to Hathaway and said: "Annie, this is the first time I send flowers to you. I hope you like it.

.”

Anne was slightly startled, and then she smiled sweetly.

Yi Feiyang rarely gives flowers to people. Once when Hathaway asked why, Yi Feiyang said, "Flowers can only be given to the woman you love. If you give too many flowers, they will be overwhelming, and anything in excess is not precious!"

Anne Hathaway gently took the flowers, her face full of sweetness. She leaned over and kissed Yi Feiyang deeply on the face, "Thank you, my dear Yi."
