That's right, the screenwriter of "The Grudge" is Chen Xiao.

Although Chen Xiao said no, Qiu Zining still wrote Chen Xiao's name on the screenwriter's name.

And for this movie, Chen Xiao didn't ask for money, so the Huaxia market was exchanged.

Then after the filming of the movie was completed, the day before the movie was released, Qiu Zining was first sent a copy by Chen Xiao.

In China, don't think about the release of this movie.

So after Chen Xiao watched the movie with Bai Yiyi that night, he still found a few video playback websites the next day.

Now it's not time for him to shoot "The Night the Comet Comed", at that time, he could only silently upload the video to the video website, and then he was afraid of being buried, so he had to promote it himself.

And he didn't dare to sign an exclusive contract, for fear that he would have no way back.

Now there is no need for it, of course, to sign the best, then naturally it is necessary to sign an exclusive broadcast contract.

Otherwise, the amount of money earned is at least multiplied by several times the reduction.

Finally, after several comparisons, Chen Xiao still signed an exclusive video playback contract with one of the larger websites, after all, there are many members of the big websites, and he can make more money with them.

So even if a small website gave a better contract, Chen Xiao thought about it and still refused.

He is there to make money, not to pioneer for these video sites.

In the end, The Grudge signed a C-level contract directly with a website.

In other words, as long as the video is uploaded to their website, you can get 4 yuan for an effective playback time, and the starting point is 3 levels higher all of a sudden.

As for the better A-grade, and B-grade contracts, they are generally not available, so as a horror movie, C-grade is already a very high level.

And the C-level split, if you follow the normal process, then at least 15 million views are required to be upgraded to this level.

Now Chen Xiao is equivalent to saying that he has directly omitted 15 million views.

And these 15 million effective views are tens of millions of money, which are all earned directly.

But if "The Grudge" wants to rise to the B level again, then it will be more difficult, and it needs 20 million views, which is equivalent to returning the previous 15 million.

So.

Now, although it is difficult for "The Grudge" to rise to the B grade, it at least skips the F, E, and D grades.

The effective duration playback share of the F level is only 1 yuan.

2 yuan for E grade and 3 yuan for D grade.

If the C-level contract is signed directly, then the stage below 4 yuan will be calculated as 4 yuan, and the broadcast volume will be less than 20 million yuan, and the money will be doubled.

And there is also a considerable benefit to exclusive and non-exclusive contracts.

That is, the website split has been extended from three months to six months, doubling the time.

In general, Chen Xiao is quite satisfied with the contract signed this time.

So at noon the next day, "Curse" appeared on the video website, and now the video website has not recommended it, but Chen Xiao himself put an advertisement on Weibo.

So although many people already know about this movie, there are many more who don't know.

is like Huang Yigong, he has never heard of this movie.

Huang Yigong remembered that two years ago, when Chen Xiao was filming "The Night the Comet Comed", he was recruited, and unknowingly promoted the movie for Chen Xiao.

After that, the two of them never 'cooperated' again.

Now when I see Chen Xiao's name again, I am still a little stunned.

"The screenwriter of this movie turned out to be Chen Xiao?"

"Could it be that Chen Xiao and Qiu Zining cooperated in filming?"

Huang Yigong still admires Chen Xiao's brain hole ideas in the movie, so if you add Qiu Zining, a genius director......

So what kind of sparks will be created in this movie?

Thinking of this, Huang Yigong was inexplicably looking forward to it, which was a feeling he hadn't felt for a long time.

Some couldn't wait, Huang Yigong opened the movie.

Huang Yigong has been watching horror movies for a while, but it is more like childhood fun and pastime, not something to be enjoyed.

In fact, now he thinks that horror movies can be enjoyed.

Yes, just enjoy.

Some people may not believe it, isn't terror scary?

Yes, terror is unsettling, but terror has its own unique atmosphere and cultural meaning, and in short, terror is also a culture.

The unique and profound meaning of horror evokes infinite associations, and the horror itself has a gorgeous visual and engaging effect.

Sometimes horror is inspired by life, and most of the horror elements are taken from life.

Therefore, horror can be multifaceted, which also contains a lot of creators' thoughts on life, and there is a lot of room for aftertaste after reading it, and one of the charms of horror is also aftertaste.

But most people just get more scared the more they reminisce.

Huang Yigong enjoyed this aftertaste.

There are some things that you didn't feel at the time, but after reading them, you will find that some episodes are also repeated in your life, and it has an impact on your life, and only when you really experience it can you fully understand the charm of horror.

Of course, this only refers to those horror movies that have an inherently intrinsic twist.

If you just rely on sound effects to be scary, and in the end you find out that it is the kind that is scary, it can't be called a horror movie at all.

Thinking like this, the movie has already begun.

The opening credits of the movie are an explanation of the word grudge, which means that the grudge comes from the deep grudge of the deceased during his lifetime, and when he gathers in the place after his death, everyone who comes into contact with his grudge will die and will have a new grudge.

Huang Yigong nodded, this is still good.

The first rule of telling a good story is: what can be shown, not explained.

For the somewhat inexplicable concept of 'grudge', an explanation is necessary. The film does a good job of this by keeping the amount of explanation to a minimum and placing it in the title so as not to disrupt the narrative structure, so that there is no time to explain the word alone in the film.

A passage shows the audience all about the curse: the origin of the curse, the fear of the curse, and the power of the curse.

As the movie slowly unfolded, Huang Yigong was also a little confused, feeling that the timeline of the movie seemed to be interrelated, but it was disrupted.

So this kind of movie must be seen at the end, and then slowly experienced.

And the most classic form of this film is the classic sound effects that run through the series.

It's not the rush of background music that makes you jump out of your chair, it's not a scream, it's not a sudden and frightening accent, it's the sound of an old floor or a wooden door being moved.
