"Hurricane Rescue" has grown by leaps and bounds, especially at the box office in China, which has made many North American film and television giants have some ideas.

There are a lot of Hollywood movies that have exploded at the box office in China, but in fact, most of them are sequel films after the accumulation of multiple films, and original movies like "Hurricane Rescue" really don't have many box office hits.

And "Hurricane Rescue" is actually more than a step behind many Hollywood action blockbusters, but why can "Hurricane Rescue" achieve no less good results in China than in North America?

This has given many Hollywood giants an idea.

In fact, the reason why "Hurricane Rescue" was able to achieve such good results in China has a lot to do with the composition of this film.

On the one hand, the film is indeed good enough, and on the other hand, the publicity and distribution of "Hurricane Rescue" in China was made by Ling Xiaoge himself.

Ling Xiao Ge's influence in China is naturally undoubted, and its distribution strength is also top-notch, plus this film is Lin Xiao's first blockbuster in Hollywood.

Yes, although previous films such as "Kung Fu Panda" have also achieved very dazzling results in North America, even better than "Hurricane Rescue", but the two are still different.

"Hurricane Rescue" is a Hollywood movie through and through, but it is dominated by Chinese.

This in itself is a big gimmick, coupled with the fact that Ling Xiao Ge spares no effort to promote, so "Hurricane Rescue" was able to achieve such results.

As for other Hollywood films, when they arrive in China, most of the time, it is impossible to spare no effort in publicity and distribution like Ling Xiao Ge, especially when it comes to the competition with domestic films.

Therefore, many times, many Hollywood films can achieve very good results in North America and even around the world, but in China, they are not popular.

The success of "Hurricane Rescue" has made Legendary Pictures more and more popular.

And Legendary Pictures' other film "The Grim Reaper is Coming", this film is just a film with a small budget investment, but it has great expectations from Legendary Pictures.

Unlike "Hurricane Rescue", low-budget films like "Death is Coming" are the main development direction of Legendary Pictures in the future.

A small-budget production film, naturally, did not hold any premieres, even if Legendary Pictures is not bad for money, but it can't do some unnecessary waste.

Because "The Grim Reaper" itself is not only a small budget, but also a horror film.

Although horror films have a good market in North America, they obviously can't be compared with action movies and other films.

Of course, there are not too many points that can be promoted in "The Grim Reaper", and the biggest one is undoubtedly that the script is also from Lin Xiao.

The release of "The Grim Reaper" was handed over to Mina's Nova Pictures, probably because "Hurricane Rescue" was in front of Zhuyu, or because Nova was indeed more optimistic about "The Grim Reaper", so in the end, "The Grim Reaper" opened with 2480 fast screens in North America.

As a result, this small-budget film with a total investment of less than 20 million yuan, including publicity and distribution costs, was released in North America.

The box office of the first weekend of the three days still attracted a lot of attention.

In three days, "The Grim Reaper", a cash-cost thriller with no big-name stars, actually got a first-weekend box office of 19 million.

Although it can't be compared with "Hurricane Rescue", for a horror film, this achievement is already very dazzling.

"The Grim Reaper" is just a thriller after all, and the audience is completely incomparable to an action movie like "Hurricane Rescue".

But the reputation of this low-budget thriller is very good.

Many people have praised this as a very creative and innovative horror film, and it is the best idea horror film in recent years.

"The screenwriter integrated fatalism into the movie, completely creating a terrifying feeling with the atmosphere, although there is also blood splattering, but it is much better than those horror films that are specifically focused on it. The so-called Grim Reaper does not appear in the whole film, but it pinches the hearts of the audience every minute and every second, making people worry about the surviving characters who keep dying, and those carefully prepared ways of dying also add a lot to this film. ”

"The most worrying, or the most frightening, is that every death method is an accident, which may be encountered in life, plus there are no obvious logical errors, which invisibly brings great pressure to the audience, and also makes people more engaged, and it is generally a very innovative horror film. ”

"Death is not the most terrible, the most terrible thing is the process of waiting for death to come, the biggest highlight of "Death is Coming" is this, when one after another survivors who should have died but did not die died unexpectedly one by one, the survivors began to wait for the arrival of death, so, in this process, some people collapsed, some people faced it calmly, and some people tried their best to avoid it, but in the end, they could not escape the sanction of death, which is the biggest idea of the whole film. ”

"The Grim Reaper is Coming" has won the popularity of many horror film fans, of course, this is a low-budget horror film after all, and it is also a commercial film, so it will naturally not have too much praise from professional film critics.

The most is nothing more than that this is a relatively innovative film, with good ideas and so on.

As for art, stop!

As for Huaguo, it is naturally impossible for a movie like "Death is Coming" to pass the trial in Huaguo.

"Hurricane Rescue" successfully broke 100 million at the North American box office and is moving towards the 200 million mark, while "Death is Coming" may be a little short of breaking 100 million at the North American box office, but it is enough for Legendary Pictures to make a lot of money.

And especially horror films like "The Grim Reaper" have great potential in the DVD market.

Sequels to "Here Comes the Grim Reaper" and "Hurricane Rescue" are naturally already on the agenda, after all, these are both money-making projects, and both are very suitable for making a series of movies.

Although these two series are far from being comparable to top series such as "Kung Fu Panda", they are enough to make countless people covetous.

However, Lin Xiao obviously doesn't think it's enough, maybe a small solo film company, with two such best-selling series, is enough to be satisfied, but although Lin Xiao has not thought of making Legendary Pictures a company like a Hollywood giant, at least it must reach the level of a leader in a second-tier film company.

So, these two series alone are obviously not enough.

It's not enough, Lin Xiao is a systematic man, so naturally he won't be bad for scripts and creativity.

So, he took out the script of another classic horror film series.
