"Double Treasure Fighting Demons" is a horror comedy, you read that right, it is scary and funny, and it also belongs to this sequence of Xing Ye's "Soul Night", and the "Screaming and Laughing" series that combines spoofs and vulgarity. The movie is about Teucer and Dale, a pair of good friends who grew up together, although they have a fierce face, they are really warm-hearted in their bones. They meet to go fishing near the mountain hut in Lake Morris, and accidentally rescue Ellie who accidentally fell into the water at night, but the students think that Dale is going to drag Alison to the cabin in the forest and kill him, in order to save his companions, these students commit suicide one by one in front of the living treasure brothers, in the face of this out-of-control scene, Tucker and Dale only want to know why these brain-dead students have to kill themselves in their own place.

The film cost only more than $50,000 at the time, and after its release, it won $220,000 in North America and $4.74 million worldwide, and the most important thing is that it made more money in the videotape market. Hollywood is different from other film markets, in addition to the mature industrial system, there is also the development of movie peripherals, such as "Cars 3" released in 17 years, the production cost of 175 million US dollars, after the release of the North American box office of 153 million US dollars, the global 309 million US dollars, can be said to be a big loss, as a result, people are stunned to achieve profitability by selling toys, videotapes and other peripheral products. Lionsgate was willing to shoot "Double Treasure Fighting Demons", in addition to being the work of his own family's children, the idea of being released at a low cost was earned, and then pushed to the video tape market is the most important thing.

Jason felt that he was too wise to find Li Xiang as his deputy, Jason was a film director who was only selected in his junior year, and his basic skills were not particularly solid, and he was thinking about whether to ask his father to recommend a reliable assistant director, but Li Xiang was automatically sent to the door. Li Xiang himself is the screenwriter of this movie, and at the same time, Li Xiang was also a famous scholar when he was in USC, if he hadn't insisted on returning to China later, he might have been thriving with his talent now.

Since Li Xiang agreed to be an assistant director, he naturally has to be conscientious, after reminding Jason of a few shooting mistakes, Jason also slowly found the rhythm and feeling of shooting, the filming began to go smoothly, and the shooting was completed in less than half a month, Li Xiang is a little in love with the feeling of shooting comedies, every day the crew is full of laughter, this experience is really great!

Los Angeles International Airport, in the terminal, Li Xiang is saying goodbye to everyone, and it has been more than a month in the decaying capitalist empire.

"Xingke my brother, thank you for your help these days, although you giggle most of the time, but thank you for pulling me on the right track, the movie couldn't have gone so smoothly without you. Jason gave Lee a big hug.

"After the movie is released, you must inform me as soon as possible how the results are!" Li Xiang said to Jason with a smile, with Li Xiang's help, this version of Shuangbao is much better than the original version, and it should be more than the original result. During this period, people from Lionsgate came to Li Xiang, and "Hurricane Rescue" has been dubbed, divided into a PG-13 level, and is scheduled to be screened in a total of 25 movie theaters in Los Angeles, San Francisco and other cities with more Chinese on April 27.

The biggest difference between American movies and Chinese movies is the classification system that makes Chinese people complain about all kinds of things. The American Film Rating System is a committee of parents organized by the Motion Picture Association of America ("MPAA") to evaluate movies based on their theme, language, level of violence, nudity, sex scenes, and drug use scenes, representing the opinions that most parents may give. The aim is to provide parents with information about the movies in advance to help them determine which movies are appropriate for their children of a certain age. Ratings have no correlation with the quality of the movie's content. The Classification and Rating Administration ("CARA") is a group of parents whose members must have been employed in an industry that is not primarily associated with the film industry, and is financed primarily by a percentage of the asking price given to film distributors for a particular film.

There are several main ratings - G: Mass, anyone can watch it, PG: Tutoring grade, some content in the movie may not be suitable for children, PG-13: Special tutoring grade, recommended for children after 13 years old, R: Restricted, recommended for 17 years old and above, NC-17: Under 17 years old (including 17 years old) are not allowed to watch, in addition to some special ratings, because there are relatively few involved, there is no need to repeat. Throughout the history of Hollywood, most of the box office record holders have been G-rated, and a small number of PG and PG-13 films have also been included in the list, while R-rated and NC-17 are basically impossible to make the list.

Many Chinese people don't know the inside story, and they are clamoring here to say that China restricts subject matter and should introduce a classification system, which is nonsense! Many countries have not implemented a classification system, but this does not affect people's achievements in film. A country with a strong film industry like the United States will produce countless bad movies every year, and a strict country like Iran will also make a movie with a high artistic standard like "Little Shoes", the key is to look at the person who expresses the language behind the camera!

Then again, the reason why the movie classification system appeared in the United States is inseparable from the development of Hollywood, to put it bluntly, the profits created by Hollywood have been so large that the government has to pay attention to their voices, in order to meet the interests of Hollywood bigwigs, everyone gathered in a circle to discuss, and the film classification was produced, and the following decades have been continuously improved and improved, so that there is such a detailed classification breakdown today.

Just like the self-grading "Great Protector of the Law" in 17 years, when more and more market behaviors are forcing the government, the government cannot ignore the voices of these people who create huge tax revenues for the country, and maybe a few years later, a new system more suitable for movies will be promulgated?

In April, the capital can already feel the breath of spring, of course, the most felt is the smog that has begun to show hideous. As a person who has lived again, Li Xiang naturally cherished his life even more, and put on his mask early after getting off the plane. gave Jason a cameo as an assistant director, which gave Li Xiang some new inspiration, and he has been out for more than a month, and it's time to start preparing for his new movie.
