My movie scares global audiences to tears

Chapter 339 The New Movie "Alien" 【Subscribe! 】

The horror film festival's success exceeded everyone's expectations.

On September 9, the Zhongyuan file officially ended, and the box office data of the schedule was also released.

During the entire schedule, the total box office of the domestic film market reached 463.57 billion.

Among them, 278.31 billion is the box office of "Horror Cruise", and the remaining 185.26 billion is the box office of other movies of the same period.

Unlike other films of the same period, "Horror Cruise" adopts a global release model, and it has also won a box office of 116.84 billion in overseas markets, with a total box office of 395.15 billion.

The box office of nearly 400 billion has already created a new record in the history of Zhongyuan.

But no matter how high Song Qi's box office is, it won't surprise people. After all, he is the current box office king, and it's not surprising how much box office he gets.

What really surprised everyone was that the rest of the movies got a total box office of 185.26 billion.

This number is a bit astonishing!

You know, just a few years ago, the total box office of Zhongyuan Films was still hovering around 40 billion, and it couldn't even touch the edge of the five major film festivals.

Later, driven by Song Qi, some follow-up movies started to show up, and the total box office of the schedule also began to climb, gradually reaching the level of 60 billion, 70 billion.

Last year, it was Song Qi who returned to Zhongyuan after a few years.

He created a wave of popularity. Excluding his box office, the total box office of other movies in the Zhongyuan file exceeded 80 billion.

This is already an unprecedented achievement. You must know that the number of movies released in Zhongyuan last year was only in the early [-]s.

On average, the box office of each movie is close to [-] million.

This box office can not only support people, but also fat people.

Last year, in the middle of the year, there were two movies with a box office of over 20 billion, one with a box office of over [-] billion, four with a box office of over [-] million, and more than a dozen movies with a box office of over [-] million.

No matter in any period, if you can get a box office of more than one billion, it is already a very impressive result.

The vast majority of film production costs are less than 5 million yuan, and even including publicity and distribution, the total cost rarely exceeds [-] million yuan.

Therefore, with a box office of one billion, it can already earn half and half.

Even if it is distributed to more than half of the theaters, it can earn two to three hundred million.

Most of the film and television companies' annual profits are only a few hundred million. With such a movie, the company can basically have a good year.

This is based on the cost of large-investment movies such as science fiction and history. The investment cost of horror movies is generally lower, and the profit will be more.

Therefore, how many movies with a box office of over one billion in a schedule has also become an important factor for the industry to roughly evaluate the development of the schedule.

This year, the first Horror Film Festival is scheduled to be held in Zhongyuan, and the main purpose is to push the box office market of Zhongyuan.

But also because of the first Horror Film Festival, a large number of movies were screened in this year's Zhongyuan file, and the total number directly exceeded [-].

It is not a good thing for movies to be released together, because if the audience base does not change much, this will only lead to the intensification of the [-]th effect, that is, the head takes all.

Because when faced with too many choices, audiences tend to choose to follow the crowd, choose more people to watch, and watch movies that are safer.

If we want to improve this situation, we can only increase the audience base, which is also the mission of the film festival.

Therefore, the host and relevant leaders of the Horror Film Festival are under great pressure.

In the initial estimation, everyone believed that this film festival would be considered a success if the total box office of the scheduled movies increased by no less than 50%.

But the final box office growth more than doubled, which greatly exceeded everyone's expectations.

This marks a complete success for the film festival.

This success has also given the organizers and relevant leaders great confidence, and subsequent proposals for launching other types of film festivals have also entered the discussion agenda.

However, for ordinary audiences, the most concerned topic in this film festival is "Horror Cruise".

Discussions about this movie have not stopped since its release until the end of the schedule.

Even after the release, many viewers are still discussing the plot of the movie.

Different from all Song Qi's previous films, the plot of this film alone has aroused controversy among countless viewers.

Just from the understanding of the plot, there are many viewers who hold different opinions.

After watching the movie, many viewers didn't understand the development logic of the plot at all, they just didn't understand it.

Some viewers are deeply attracted by the logic of the plot, and are keen to find loopholes in the plot, but they find nothing.

Some viewers also began to sort out the logical setting of the plot on the Internet, explaining the development of the plot and the logical core of the story to audiences who did not understand the movie.

Some viewers believe that this is a movie that draws on the theory of parallel time and space. The multiple selves that Xiaojie encounters in the movie actually come from different parallel time and space. Because time and space are intertwined, they came to the same ship.

Some viewers believed that the heroine Xiaojie had actually died at the scene of the car accident, and everything that happened on the boat was actually an illusion she had when she was dying.

These theories have aroused the approval of many netizens and extensive discussions.

However, most viewers are more interested in which one is more brain-burning compared to "Fatal ID" and "Inception".

To this end, netizens also conducted several waves of voting activities, but the results of each activity could not be recognized by everyone.

So, until the release of "Horror Cruise", the ranking game about these three movies has not stopped.

At the same time, Song Qi and An Qin had already returned to the capital, and they were filming a new movie that will be released during the Spring Festival.

The sci-fi horror movie that Song Qi plans to shoot is the sci-fi horror masterpiece "Alien" that has been recorded in history.

It's a great sci-fi movie, and what's great about it is that it completely redefines the subgenre of sci-fi horror.

Its aesthetic style and metaphors also led to the birth of a series of related series after its release.

Its far-reaching influence can be seen even in the subsequent sci-fi classics such as "The Matrix" and "The City of Souls".

In order to shoot this classic sci-fi horror movie, Song Qi also started preparations a long time ago.

During his two years of rest, he drew some related movie concept manuscripts intermittently.

After Jiang Huai's death, he decided to make this movie, so he drew up the concept drawing and handed it over to the props department and set department of Miracle Film and Television Base, and set aside a booth for the movie background.

For this movie, Song Qi planned to use real props and special effects to shoot.

If you want to shoot the classic Chris Foss-style space gothic beauty in the movie, you can't do it perfectly by relying on special effects, you must use exquisite props.

This is not a small challenge for the props and sets of the film and television base.
