"Have you heard it? Recently, a movie made by a Chinese won the Golden Lion Award, or a sorrow movie. I can't believe it?"

In a shabby bar, the shocking music from the speakers and the undressing queen stimulating people's eyes, it's such a mess! The white man had to raise his voice and said loudly to ensure that his companions sitting at the table could hear their voices.

The companion shook his head to the rhythm of the music and said contemptuously, "What good movies can Orientals make or shocking movies? They can't wear messy clothes and use a piece of yellow paper to defeat the so-called zombie movies. I really don't know that their heads are so funny. Such movies can win awards. I really don't know that those jury are so accused."

The other blacks and whites laughed together, as if this was the funniest thing they heard.

The white man shook his head and retorted, "It's not those Taoist priests' movies. I heard from my friend that they are serial murderers. They are very scary and suspenseful. They scared him so much that he didn't sleep well for several days. They are considered to be the most thrilling movie he has seen in more than ten years!"

Then he slapped his head and said, "By the way, the name of the movie seems to be "Saw". Damn, when I hear this name, I want to see what kind of movie it is. I am the favorite of thriller movies, and I can't sit still if I think about it."

"There are many horror scenes in the film, so don't watch them anymore. I'm afraid of having nightmares." The girl snuggled in the arms of the white man suddenly interjected.

"Shut up!" The white man hated his girlfriend interjecting in front of his friends, and this time he dared to refute his opinions.

His girlfriend lowered her head uneasy, and seemed to be used to being treated like this.

"Guys! How about it? Have you decided to watch this movie? You have to know that the opportunity is rare! No matter what you are like, I decided to watch this movie today!"

The companion agreed with understanding, "Why not? We haven't been frightened for a long time, and I'm really looking forward to that feeling!"

"Guys, what are you waiting for? go!go!" the white man shouted excitedly, as if he had won tens of millions.

"OK! Guys, you don't feel it's early now! You know, it's so satisfying to watch such a movie at night, especially on a night when you can't see your fingers, right?" a black man suddenly suggested.

"Don't go now, otherwise it's too scary to watch at night!

My companions looked at him with contempt, just pretending that he did not exist, and agreed with the black people's suggestions very much, and went down to enjoy the taste of fine wine!

Most American cinemas are spread in small towns between cities. In addition to the huge parking lot, most of them are equipped with complete commercial service facilities. Just drive to the cinema to satisfy the whole day of leisure and entertainment. This not only facilitates oneself, but also stimulates consumption. Why not?

In the United States, the "country on wheels", the distance has been conquered by wheels. Don't you see the small cars on the streets that can no longer stop people from enjoying entertainment. The theaters located in small towns are connected into a radiation network. With the well-connected highways, there is no need to worry about not attracting people. The box office of theaters in the vast majority of non-urban areas of the United States has always been an unaffordable number, and more than 50% of the multi-hall theaters on the Dimen Cinema Line are distributed in these small towns.

A group of young people shouting and clamored for countless birds and drove to a small town. When they went to buy movie tickets, they found that "Saw" was much more popular than they believed. They arrived very late, but they could only wait for the next one.

"God, I've bought so many tickets. I really don't know why they can't open two more screening halls?" The white man complained to his companion after buying the tickets.

The companions were also stunned for a moment, not expecting why Oriental movies are so popular. You must know that this is not a Bruce Lee movie, so you have no choice but to wait for the next movie.

At the headquarters of Dimen Company, President Bob Weinstein listened to the report from his subordinates and was surprised by the popularity of "Saw". Although he knew that this was a masterpiece, it was not the East after all. Cultural differences may have ruined a movie. He thought for a long time before he spoke.

"Then the next department will focus on this movie, so that theaters can increase the number of screenings of "Saw" in theaters. There is no reason why you don't make money. You can go down and work hard, William, please stay!"

Bob Weinstein took a deep breath, with a kind face, turned to William who was sitting on the sofa drinking coffee and said, "You are a great hero in the company! If you hadn't been keen on your keen eyes, I believe you wouldn't have been so popular at the box office now."

"Boss! You're so polite! These are my duty!"

William did not expect the president to let him stay. This was something he was a small employee who dared not think of before. He did not expect it to be realized now. Although he pretended to be calm, the smile in his eyes had betrayed his inner joy.

"I didn't expect that the North American weekly box office champion was actually a Hong Kong movie. This is the first time that this happened since Bruce Lee's death?" Bob Weinstein's face showed a look of memories.

William thought about the wording, and then slowly replied: "Yes, when I signed this movie, I didn't have the confidence to do so. I didn't expect it to be so popular. It seems that Li Yihua had expected such a scene for a long time, so he insisted on selling this movie by sharing the movie, even if he was the promotion of the movie! This is the first time in the United States that "Saw" happened, and even when Bruce Lee's Kung Fu movie was brilliant, it was not so popular."

Bruce Lee's movies have cultivated a group of die-hard fans of kung fu movies in the United States, and "Saw" seems to be more suitable for the appetite of American audiences, and its powerful vitality exploded as soon as it was released.

"Popular?" Bob Weinstein shook his head with a wry smile. "The mainstream American newspapers and magazines are all critical, even if they won the Golden Lion Award. Before it was released, I was not optimistic about this movie made by Orientals, but I didn't expect this movie to be so successful. It seems like a miracle in my opinion."

William nodded too.

In fact, before "Saw" was released, scandals were flying everywhere. It was said that there was insider information about the Venice Film Festival. Li Yihua bribed the jury judges, and the jury chairman was so angry that he slapped the table. This shows the xenophobia of the US market and the interests of local protectionism. No wonder Chinese blockbusters in later generations are difficult to open up the international market.
