Big names rise

"I love you too!" He Mu hurriedly replied, and then entered the theater to start the premiere of the film, and then answered the reporter's questions.

This is the first time that He Mu's painstaking "Zi Bu Yu" has been shown to the world, because it has to participate in the film festival, and the first public screening must be held at the film festival, so it is a pity that the people of my country can't get a sneak peek. Fortunately, the audience There are many Chinese students in the group, including Xu Huanqing, who has graduated and found a job here, and He Mu, who used to be a temporary translator.

"Wow, it's so beautiful, it's 1000 times better than I imagined and [-] million yuan!" As a director's debut, He Mu's performance exceeded many people's expectations, which is definitely much stronger than many movie debuts that are just for fun.

"The girl who plays Xiaoyu is so cute. Although I am a girl, I can't stand the impact of this level of cuteness!" Attracted by cuteness, if the poster is not attractive enough, after watching the movie, you will be deeply conquered by this elf-like little girl, especially in Japan, who lives in the Two-dimensional world, with big eyes, short hair, and slanted bangs. A nine-year-old cute girl is enough to make them marvel, exclaim, and be amazed, how can there be such a cute little girl in this world!It's unimaginable!I never intended to be cute, but the name of Xiaoshuidian who performed honestly spread throughout Japan in an instant, and those Japanese child stars were suddenly compared to Xiaoshuidian.

Many people in Japan have read the original manga of "Zibuyu", and they are very faithful. Many people expressed dissatisfaction with He Mu's change of Xiaobai into a yellow potato.In addition to this change, in order to make the plot smoother, He Mu made a lot of cuts and changes to the plot.So in the original party, He Mu became the target of verbal criticism, but he was only complained about and changed too much, but when it comes to artistic conception, He Mu still respects the atmosphere created by Xia Da very much. In his film language Under the expression, the purpose of letting the audience enjoy it is also achieved. One of the themes of the comic is the respect and love for nature. "Zi Bu Yu" also basically realized the expressive appeal of this theme, although because it is a series of films, the performance of the first film is not so sufficient and perfect.However, from the ingenious integration and adaptation of the stories of "Shadow" and "Old Carpenter", we can still see the director's intentions.

Some people also analyze this story from the perspective of the plot. Some people think that the story of "Zi Bu Yu" is a bit like Hayao Miyazaki's classic animation "Spirited Away", while some people think that this story is more like Hayao Miyazaki's early work "Spirited Away". My Neighbor Totoro".Although there are many other theories.However, the most mainstream view is that He Mu's work style is similar to Hayao Miyazaki's classic animation.

He Mu has no objection to this. To be honest, the Japanese director He Mu admires and loves the most is not Emperor Kurosawa Akira, but the director who created a new era of animation with the highest configuration. His film He Mu He has watched every one of them, and he likes Hayao Miyazaki's directorial style, which can be seen from some expressions in the works, but He Mu's works are somewhat different from Hayao Miyazaki's classics.Not just a cartoon and a live-action movie.

After that night, the most discussed movie in the Japanese entertainment circle the next day was probably this "Zibuyu".It already has a strong foundation in Japan. Because many people wanted to see He Mu's film debut, the East Film Festival finally decided to use this film as the closing film of the film festival and as a main competition work. Supreme glory.

After showing his own movie, He Mu left Tokyo that night and flew to the United States. Because "Leng Xin" was about to be released, so the sensation "Zi Bu Yu" caused in Japan was only known through other people's mouths. He also agreed to the request of the organizing committee. After all, this is also an affirmation of the quality of "Zibuyu", so there is no reason for him to disagree.

October 10st is Halloween in the West, which is equivalent to the Ghost Festival in China. Every time this festival is a good day for horror movies, horror fans are also used to going to the cinema on this day to watch some movies that exercise their guts.

Out of confidence in the quality of "Cold Heart", Touchstone decided to release "Cold Heart" two days before Halloween, that is, on October 10. In order not to kill each other, Jeff decided to postpone Wen Ziren's other The release time of the first film "Latent" (also known as "Yinerfang") may have to wait until next year.

On the same day, the 7D version of Lionsgate's "Saw 3" will also be released. "Cold Heart" will compete with "Saw 7". "Cold Heart" is even better, and has accumulated six popular films. The classic horror series "Chain Saw" created by him is even stronger. This is something that the audience and the media are very concerned about. Effective means, each other's reputation has been greatly improved.

However, if you think that "Cold Heart" only has "Chain Saw 7" as its opponent, you would be wrong. In the previous week, Paramount preemptively released last year's brilliantly successful pseudo-documentary horror film " Ghost Story 2 (also known as "Paranormal Phenomenon 2"), the sequel film of Ghost Story: Ghost Story 1800, the first film of the film achieved a super high box office in North America, setting a new standard for low-budget horror films. Benchmarking, the second film is engulfing the great reputation of the first film, this low-cost horror film costing only a few million dollars, on the day of its release, it got a box office of 630 million US dollars on 3216 screens, more than twice the cost, and later expanded With 4500 screens in 12904 movie theaters in North America, it finally won an average of 4150 US dollars per hall, and a total of [-] million US dollars in box office in the first three days of the weekend!This achievement is more successful than any "Chain Saw".

Because "Saw 7" is a 3D version, it has been released for a week, and the imposing "Spirit: Ghost Story 2" poses a greater threat to "Cold Heart", because both films are 2D versions, and they are A movie of the same genre, for sure.Whether it is "Ghost Story" or "Chain Saw", both films have a fairly high foundation of the previous work. "Cold Heart" is stronger than the two films, I am afraid that the cast is stronger, and this is a pg-13 film. It is a horror movie with a higher audience than the R-rated "Ghost Story 2" and "Saw 7". Wen Ziren reluctantly removed some heavy-duty scenes, and cleverly hid the horror factor in the movie plot, Instead of scaring the audience with blood and stumps, I hope it will do wonders.

For the film "Cold Heart", the publisher's touchstone positions He Mu as one of the three leading actors, so the important publicity occasions and interviews are basically the three of Joseph, Scarlett, and He Mu. Among the three, the one with the least reputation and the least sense of presence in the United States, but after a few days of publicity, He Mu's popularity has gradually increased, and the name of "China's giant" has once again resounded in North America. There are thousands of fans on facebook and twitter. I believe that more people will like him after the movie is released. He Mu's journey of "world superstar" will start from here...
