My movie scared the global audience to tears

The release of "Saw" was also released simultaneously around the world.

After "The Mummy" became a global box office success, Miracle Pictures opened branches abroad and expanded its business.

The business focus of the overseas branch of Miracle Film and Television, in addition to copyright sales and escape room offline store development, is overseas distribution and promotion.

Among the branches of Miracle Film and Television in various countries, the departments with the most manpower are the publicity department and distribution department.

Relying on the momentum generated by the movie "The Mummy", Miracle Films successfully established a foothold in various countries and became a sudden dark horse among multinational promotion and distribution companies.

Branch offices do not only operate their own IP. A large number of domestic film and television companies need a safe and stable channel to sell the copyrights of their works at a good price.

But because small film and television companies have no say, and these channels are in the hands of large film and television companies, if you want to use their channels, you will often be stripped of your skin, and you may not necessarily get good profits.

Since Miracle Films began to receive overseas promotion and distribution business, it has quickly become the fastest growing company in the industry relying on its good reputation and reasonable share ratio.

The strength of a company is built up by its business volume. After two years of development, Miracle Films has a more mature global distribution and promotion system.

With this system in place, if Song Qi wants to engage in global distribution, the cost will be much lower than before.

However, for this global release, Song Qi did not spend as much money as he did with "The Mummy" last time. Instead, he only used conventional publicity methods and a small push.

Movies are different from movies. Two movies of the same production scale will have a huge gap in the box office due to different themes, different positioning, and even different ratings.

"The Mummy" is a movie that is very suitable for making money at the box office. Its overall style is rather relaxed. Although many of the scenes are very real and terrifying, from a psychological perspective, the audience will not feel too much psychological pressure.

Because everyone knows that it is a fictional story, and there are no moving mummy zombies in the world.

The consistent protective rating in various countries also allows it to basically cover most of the audience market, and its box office potential has reached its maximum.

But "Saw" is different. It is an adult-rated movie. Although the ratings in other countries are a bit looser, they are all restricted to a rating of 15 or above.

This means that its audience base is naturally smaller than that of "The Mummy", and its expected box office cannot be as high as "The Mummy".

This is indeed the case. In the early morning of July 29, the global pre-sale box office of "Saw" was released.

The total pre-sale box office in various countries was 1.873 billion, which did not even exceed 2 billion.

The media who had been paying attention to the pre-sale box office immediately became excited after seeing the data.

In an instant, related articles were all over the Internet.

At the same time, audiences around the world have just entered the theater, intending to see how far Song Qi's new movie can break the boundaries and actually be rated as adult.

Soon, the movie started.

The style of painting is different from Song Qi's previous movies. As soon as the movie opened, the dark environment and a sense of dark voyeurism made all the audience take it seriously.

Many old fans of Song Qi couldn't help but get a little excited when they saw a strange thing flashing blue light floating across the screen.

This opening chapter feels a bit like watching "Jaws" for the first time back then!

Gululu!

A burst of bubbles floated up, and in the darkness, a man could be vaguely seen underwater and suddenly opened his eyes.

Wow!

The man woke up with a start, sat up from the water, coughed loudly, and struggled in panic.

The dim light in the darkness could vaguely see his surroundings, as if he was lying in an old bathtub.

During the struggle, he kicked the bathtub stopper, and the water in the bathtub was released. The blue light object that had been floating in the bathtub was also washed down with the water flow, but the man did not notice it.

After coughing a few times, the man looked at his surroundings in horror, then struggled to climb out of the bathtub.

But the cold and hard iron ring on his ankle tripped him, causing him pain.

Screaming in pain, he groped along his ankle and found a chain as thick as his wrist, which was locked to a sewer pipe nearby.

He was so panicked that he opened his mouth and shouted: "Help! Someone come quickly!"

But the room was quiet and no one answered him.

The man was a little desperate and muttered to himself: "Am I already dead?"

"You're not dead yet."

A deep voice appeared, startling the man.

"Who? Who's talking?" He searched in the darkness.

"Stop screaming, it's useless. I've already tried it." The voice answered him tiredly.

"Turn on the lights!" the man shouted in horror in the direction of the sound.

"I want it too."

"What the hell? What is this place? Where am I?"

"I don't know either."

"What does that smell like?"

"Shh! I seem to have found something..."

The voice stopped, and the next moment, the sudden bright light made the man narrow his eyes.

The audience in the theater had just adapted to the darkness, and were suddenly blinded by the bright lights on the screen.

After finally adapting to the light, the audience discovered that this wet young man was standing in an old room that looked like an abandoned public toilet.

Opposite him, a middle-aged man wearing a shirt was leaning against the wall, looking around with the same confused expression.

And in the middle of the two of them, there was an old man with half of his head smashed and covered in blood, lying motionless in a pool of blood.

This weird opening and sudden death shocked the audience in an instant.

This movie seems to be different from all Song Qi’s previous movies!

The young man was so disgusted by the dead body that he retched, while the middle-aged man noticed that the old man's corpse was holding a pistol and a small voice recorder.

After recovering from retching, the young man collapsed.

He grabbed the chain and pulled it up with all his strength, shouting: "Help! Someone is coming!"

But after struggling for a long time, the chain didn't move at all, and he sat down on the ground.

"No one will hear you."

The middle-aged man advised him.

The young man looked at him with red eyes and asked: "What the hell is going on? What on earth is going on?"

This is also a question for the audience.

What the hell is going on here?
