Chapter 301 Eastern Horror, "Village Old Corpse" Released

Tokyo!

The release date of "Old Corpse in the Mountain Village" has arrived. As the first film produced by Shueisha and a foreign director, the people below don't really care much about it!

after all……

Even Preacher's best "True Colors of Heroes" was released on Neon's side, and the final box office was only a little over 5 million!
To put it bluntly, it is a foreign language film after all, even though the neon culture originally came from the Chinese lineage, but... After years of evolution, the subtleties are still different, especially the thoughts and social emotions!
However, the movie itself carries thoughts and emotions. If it is not suitable for the mouth, no matter how good it is in this country, it is easy to get uncomfortable when going outside!

Therefore, everyone felt that even if he had already become the highest-grossing director in the Chinese director circle, this so-called "Mountain Village Old Corpse" would probably die violently!
after all……

Looking at the career experience of the evangelist, it seems that he has never shot a horror film!
"8%, isn't it a bit too little!"

Yui Ishihara still wants to improve the filming of "The Old Corpse in the Mountain Village".

"A lot. After all, this is a foreign language film, and there are no big stars. If Ms. Shi Yuan didn't speak up, it would be a question of whether this film would be released!"

After all, Shi Yuan's family has a wide range of interests, from cultural creation, real estate, and finance, almost everything, so if she speaks, the theater will definitely give face!

Otherwise, just relying on the name of preacher, it really won't work in Neon's side!
"In addition, there are two horror films about Mr. Fukada's movie coming out this month... So I actually don't recommend that "The Old Corpse of the Mountain Village" be released this month!"

The so-called Mr. Fukada is actually Taiyong Fukada, a well-known director of neon horror thrillers. His famous work is "No Man in the Middle of the Night", which had a box office of 89 billion at that time!

This data is already very good. After all, no matter which country it is in, horror thrillers are considered niche, let alone Neon, which is popular in cartoons.

Although "No Man in the Middle of the Night" is already a work four years ago, and even the two horror films of the same type shot by Mr. Fukada hit the street at the box office, and even less than half of the box office of "No Man in the Middle of the Night", but the skinny camel He is bigger than Ma, not to mention that Fukada still has the home court advantage, so if the two meet, Preacher has no chance of winning at all, and may even be squeezed out of the box office because it will be released together with Mr. Fukada's new drama!
In addition to director Fukada of the same type, there is another big director's play to be released this month.

That is "The Ronin" that Hashikita has been working on for two years!
The status of this director in the world of neon is not comparable to Daiyu Fukada, so it is considered a blockbuster, and this movie has been promoted for more than a year, so this month's box office champion, the media has already Give the title to Ronin!
After all, the latest version of the promotional video has already aroused the enthusiasm of many teenagers. By then, the movie theater will probably be full of spectators who bought tickets for "Ronin"!
In addition, because "The Old Corpse in the Mountain Village" is a foreign language film, there is no publicity. If Shueisha hadn't made a new film trailer, and Qiao Beiyao had made a written promotion on the bird, I am afraid no one would have known about it. Such a play!

If so, "The Old Corpse in the Mountain Village" is probably the most non-existent new movie released this month.

"Everyone must join us, this is the new film of the director who just made new history in Huaxia!"

"That's right, it's the film directed by "God of Gamblers"!"

"I also acted in it!"

Qiao Beiyao worked hard to promote, first in her circle of friends, and then in her fan group!
"God of Gamblers" won a box office of over one billion in China, created a new history for China, and also brought the total box office of Chinese films to a new height!

Naturally, the news about "God of Gamblers" and the preacher has also spread in a small area on Neon's side in the past few days.

And everyone is also looking forward to the release of "God of Gamblers" in Neon, but the news is still far away. Fortunately, this director has another movie released, so many people actually bought tickets for "Mountain Village Old Corpse"!
Such as Matsui incense!
As an overseas student in Huaxia, Matsui Xiang belongs to a group of people who are obsessed with Huaxia.

Yes, on Neon's side, there is actually a group of people who are quite obsessed with China, especially for Chinese culture, they really love it to the core, just like Matsui Kakashi, who is a person who loves ancient Chinese poetry!

And what she learned in Huaxia happened to be Huaxia's ancient Chinese.

therefore……

She has heard of the name of the preacher, and the name of the lotus flower, she has also heard of it, because this teacher Zhou has a poem that has gone through the ages. It is the handwriting of modern people.

But no matter what, she is very interested in this Teacher Zhou, if she can meet her, she will die without regret.

"Raise a glass to invite Mingyue, and form three people against Yingying!"

"People have joys and sorrows, and the moon waxes and wanes!"

"Nung, moon and new moon!"

"What a wonderful poem, you know, what I studied in Huaxia was the ancient poems of Huaxia, and I read eight hundred poems instead of a thousand, but... if you want to say it, it can surpass these few sentences , there are really not many, especially the Mid-Autumn Festival written later, I hope that people will live together for a long time, that is really the existence of eternal words!"

Matsui Xiang and her friends are going to the movie theater. Because of her relationship, my friends are also very interested in Chinese culture. Of course, they have visited China three or four times during the period, and she is the tour guide!
After all, she is an overseas student, and she can speak Chinese fluently!
"There aren't many people who buy "Old Corpse in the Mountain Village"!"

The two bought tickets and waited outside. After all, it was not time to enter the venue. My best friend saw that everyone was going to buy "Ronin", and couldn't help but say!

Matsui Xiang said: "After all, "Ronin" is a play directed by Hashi Kitao. In addition, this play has been promoted for more than a year, and the leading actors are all big names!"

In fact, whether it is Neon or Huaxia, there are always several dark horses emerging every year!
These films were not effectively exposed at the beginning, but were exposed through word of mouth after the release, coupled with the attendance rate far exceeding other films, and then slowly adjusted the proportion of the film schedule, and finally counterattacked!

Of course, the dark horse doesn't have to be the No. [-] box office in this schedule, as long as it far exceeds the initial expectations, it is enough.

When it was almost time, Matsui and Kakashi finally entered the theater.

only……

After entering, they realized that besides the two of them, there were only eight people watching.

"There are too few people here!"

The best friend couldn't help but said.

Matsui Xiang also felt a little miserable, but she still had confidence in the preacher's play, so she gave her best friend a look of peace, and pulled her to sit in the corner!
"They're all lovers, just us two fools to see!"

My best friend rolled her eyes. Horror thrillers have their own halo, which is a must for many couples to watch. After all... the black light is blind, pull the little hands, kiss the little mouth, if there is a little horror element to scare, then have an intimate The rush into the embrace, coupled with the secretion of adrenaline, isn't this relationship complete?

Matsui Kazuya also knows this kind of routine, it's just... If you can come to the cinema to watch a movie together, it's because I understand your lust, and you understand my plan!

It's just an opportunity and an excuse.

but……

Some boys may have forgotten that his own courage is not as big as a girl's!

therefore……

When the horrifying scene of "The Old Corpse in the Mountain Village" appeared, someone in the theater howled, and then...

Matsui Xiang saw a boy directly into the arms of the girl beside her, and the girl also covered her face and lowered her head!

Of course, not to mention this couple, the other three couples were obviously also frightened, but some people still persisted.

As for Matsui Xiang, she was also frightened a long time ago, especially the close-up of the eyes hidden in the long hair. Matsui Xiang does not dare to close her eyes now, as long as she closes her eyes, this scene will appear in front of her eyes!
As for girlfriends...

"Take it easy, it hurts!"

Matsui Xiang struggled a bit, but unfortunately, her best friend was holding onto her hand tightly, and she couldn't pull it out at all, but... the inside of her hand was about to be pricked by her best friend's long nails!

and……

You are afraid, I am also afraid!

Although she had confidence in "The Old Corpse in the Mountain Village" before,... she never thought that the horror atmosphere was created so superbly. In fact, this drama still looks rough, with few characters and simple scenes. The most important scene is the inside of the room. , there is only a mountain village!
It's no wonder that after she checked it, she found that the filming only took about a month and ended.

……

"Oh my god, it wasn't that scary when I was filming it!"

In another theater, Qiao Beiyao also went to watch a movie secretly with her friends. After all... this is her first movie. Before that, most of her movies were TV dramas except special dramas!

While filming this movie, Zhou You also taught her a lot.

and……

Although it is a horror thriller, but... when the set was filming, she often laughed. You couldn't stop laughing at the scene where your foot stepped on the hem of the clothes and fell to your nose!

In fact, the shooting scenes of horror movies are generally more joyful, especially this kind of modern urban horror movie, with so many people and so many cameras on the scene, it is impossible to really ignore them all!

Therefore, when the scene was filmed, she didn't feel scared at all, and after the film was edited, she didn't have a chance to see it.

So this is the first time she has seen the finished film.

Qiao Beiyao's head had already got into her friend's arms, but she still raised her head from time to time, revealing half of her eyes, sneaking a glance at the picture, and when she encountered a scary picture again, she quickly lowered her head.

This up and down, if it wasn't for the fact that my friend was a girl, people might really misunderstand what she was tasting!
Finally, the movie ended, Qiao Beiyao breathed a sigh of relief, and asked casually, "Sister Yamei, what do you think of this movie?"

Yamei took a deep breath, rubbed her thighs, and said, "Yes, to be honest, although it's a small cost, this movie's grasp of horror and horror is definitely high-quality, and... although it is Huaxia People took it, but... because

There is not much difference between the horror and thriller elements of our neon and China, not as big as the gap between Chinese and Western horror! "

The so-called horror gap between China and the West is recognized in the industry!

The so-called horror and horror in the West is a kind of visual impact that is completely superficial. The bloody pictures are basically just to stimulate people's eyeballs, and even if they are too much, they will make people feel sick. 'Basically, they are all tangible, such as zombies, mummies, vampires, etc. They look disgusting and scary, but you can see them, so you are naturally mentally prepared!
But Oriental horror is different. He pays more attention to psychological fear while paying attention to visual effects. Therefore, the images of "sly" souls that appear in Oriental horror films are basically invisible, erratic, and without No one knows where it will appear, and no one knows when it will come behind you!
Of course, this is only the difference in the element of 'cunning'!

The bigger difference lies in the creation of the atmosphere!
The atmosphere shaping of oriental horror films is generally manifested in the screen, such as the dark environment, such as cramped corridors, such as narrow passages, and weird music!

It's like the music in "The Old Corpse in the Mountain Village", because the protagonist is set to be a famous Cantonese opera actress, so when she appears on the stage, she will be accompanied by a weird Cantonese opera singing, and combined with the color tone of the screen, there will be a spooky effect!

In addition to the music and picture performance, there are also psychological hints, such as supernatural legends. In "The Old Corpse in the Mountain Village", the method used is the game of evocation!
The gathering and cohesion of these various elements is ultimately to heighten the atmosphere, which is impressive and at the same time, you don't even dare to watch it a second time!It's like "The Old Corpse in the Mountain Village". After watching it, you may not dare to drink water or go to the toilet for a while!
But Western horror films don't have such a deep sense of horror!
Because it is too direct, there is no foreshadowing in the early stage, it is a straight-forward approach, and it is nothing more than bloody and violent memories. For example, the western representative "Chain Saw" and the like may make the stomach feel uncomfortable because of the killing and blood, but it is not as good as it is. "The Old Corpse in the Mountain Village" and "The Grudge" accidentally hurt the eyes like this, which makes people have childhood shadows!

Qiao Beiyao didn't expect Yamei to have such a high opinion of this drama, she was a little happy for a while, and said, "Isn't that the box office of this drama..."

Yamei shook her head, and poured cold water on her appropriately: "There is a probability, but it's actually not that big. You know, there is also a movie directed by Fukada at the same time, and your uncle's "Ronin" will kill 90.00% of the fans." Suck it away...and the promotion of "The Old Corpse in the Mountain Village" is seriously insufficient, many people actually don't know about this movie, and there are no well-known movie actors!"

"Of course, there are exceptions to everything. The quality of the movie "The Old Corpse in the Mountain Village" is still good. If the word-of-mouth ferments quickly, it may be able to avoid early offline. If it can complete this month, then... maybe this movie Maybe it will become Mr. Zhou's highest-grossing film at the neon office!"

Qiao Beiyao's eyes lit up, and she secretly made up her mind that she must ask a friend for help, if it doesn't work, she will ask her uncle!

Not to mention commercial publicity, it is also okay to do publicity through a small group of friends among the little bluebirds!
Of course, she didn't just do it for Zhou You, but mainly for herself, after all... this is her first starring role in a movie!
If you can achieve success, it will be of great help to your future development!
