Chapter 407: Beyond Expectations
On the second day of the release of "Mr. Zombie", news in various entertainment sections reported on this thriller, comedy, and action blockbuster.
"The zombie blockbuster with the most Chinese culture was born, and "Mr. Zombie" is a blockbuster not to be missed. ”
"A thriller-plus-comedy animated zombie blockbuster that staged another group that we didn't know about. ”
"The representative of the Chinese supernatural blockbuster of "Mr. Zombie", every audience should not miss it. ”
……
Huaxia Entertainment News, Yanjing Film News, Huaxia News and other newspapers have focused on "Mr. Zombie".
At the same time, film critic Sun Hai also expressed his unique film criticism views.
"There has never been a movie like this, which is terrifying and scary at the same time, and makes people want to stop it! 'Mr. Zombie' really does it!"
At the same time, Yu Chu, a film reporter who participated in the screening, also gave a very suspenseful publicity method.
"I don't think I can describe this movie in terms of description, but it is definitely a movie worthy of every fan to go to the theater. “
Under the reports of various media reporters, as well as film critics and film reporter Yu Chu, various fans and melon-eating people also began to discuss "Mr. Zombie" with curiosity.
"Is it so good, how much benefit fee did Lin Chen give you?"
"Every single one tricked me into the theater with a gimmick, but which of the thriller films in China doesn't attract people's attention with pure horror?"
"Whether you believe it or not, I believe it anyway, and with those two suspenseful promotional videos and various media reports, I believe that this movie should not be wrong. ”
"Regardless of whether what everyone is promoting is true or not, in this concentrated release period of various movies, there is still a lot of pressure for "Mr. Zombie" to stand out. ”
"Watching the crew's promotional video, I have enough pressure for this movie anyway. ”
……
Under the praise of the screening, the film schedule about "Mr. Zombie" is also arranged by the Light Brothers, and of course there is also a news that makes the Light Brothers excited.
Light Media, Han Lei said excitedly: "Lin Chen, we don't know the schedule of this movie at present, but now there is indeed good news for us." ”
Listening to Han Lei's words, Lin Chen asked, "Good news! What's wrong with Mr. Han?"
Han Lei said: "The two movies "I Am Gentle" and "The Decisive Battle at the Top of the Mountain", which were originally planned to be released on New Year's Day, seem to have recently changed their schedules. ”
At the earliest, "I'm Gentle" and "The Decisive Battle at the Top of the Mountain" are both ready to be released on New Year's Day, and there will be many movies scheduled and box-office battles every year on New Year's Day.
However, it still made Lin Chen a little puzzled, Lin Chen asked Han Lei: "Why did Han Lei's two movies suddenly change gears?"
Han Lei said: "I really don't know about this, I have focused on "Mr. Zombie" in the past few days, and it is estimated that they may have changed the file because "Mr. Zombie" has been well received!"
Lin Chen thinks that the praise of "Mr. Zombie" will not make "I Am Gentle" and "The Gambling Equipment of the Decisive Battle Mountain" reschedule, these two movies are first-line actors and first-class companies in the industry, whether it is the lineup or the producer, and the release of "Mr. Zombie" alone will not make these two movies temporarily withdrawn, and at the same time, Lin Chen has not yet made Feng Shan look up.
Just when Lin Chen couldn't figure out this matter, Han Lei answered a phone call and said: "Lin Chen, our day's film scheduling rate has come out, and the initial scheduling rate of "Mr. Zombie" is 20 percent, of course, this scheduling rate will be adjusted with the movie box office. ”
Twenty percent of the film schedule is not low for many movies released on New Year's Day.
After Lin Chen talked to Han Lei about some news about cooperation with various theaters, another headline news of Huaxia Films attracted everyone's attention, "Vampire Elf 3" will be on the 6 Huaxia Film Market on New Year's Day.
It turned out that "Vampire Elf 3" was originally going to be released later, but another Hollywood blockbuster "Full of Spring", because of too much explicit pornography, failed to pass the review in Huaxia, and "Full of Spring" and "Vampire Elf" happened to be the same company responsible for the line in Huaxia, so the company temporarily decided to let "Vampire Elf" be released in advance, and at the same time prepared to delete some explicit scenes of "Full of Spring", so that the release time of "Full of Spring" and "Vampire Elf" would be reversed.
"Vampire Elf" has now achieved a box office of $1.5 billion in North America, which is the expected billion box office, and "Vampire Elf" has been on the list for three consecutive weeks on the North American weekly box office list. At the same time, Chinese fans and melon-eating people have long been looking forward to this Hollywood blockbuster.
So this news made many fans in Huaxia very excited.
"Haha, I really didn't expect it to be released in advance, I have long wanted to watch this Hollywood supernatural blockbuster. ”、
"I heard that "Vampire Elf 3" seems to be better than the first two, and I must go to the theater to support this supernatural blockbuster. ”
"Our domestic supernatural blockbusters should really be like people learning from them, "Vampire Elves" has too much to learn from us. “
……
Looking at the news that he had just learned that "Attracting Elves 3" was going to be on the 6th mainland New Year's Day file, Han Lei suddenly figured out why "I am Gentle" and "The Decisive Battle at the Top of the Mountain" would publicize the news of the sudden shift of gears, but they learned earlier that "Vampire Elf 3" would be released in the mainland, so they didn't want to have any conflict with "Vampire Elf 3", so they decided to change gears. This also had to make Han Lei feel a sense of nervous oppression.
When the first two parts of "Vampire Elf" were released in China, it was a crushing existence, and the box office of "Thousands of Troops" by Wu Hao, a well-known director in the industry, was in full swing at that time, and the release of "Vampire Elf 1" simply cut off the box office of "Thousands of Troops".
As for the release of "Vampire Elf 2", it is even more crushing for Huaxiazi's domestic films, and now "Vampire Elf 3" has obviously achieved better results than the other two in North America, and "Mr. Zombie" is a direct head-on collision with "Vampire Elf", which naturally makes Han Lei very nervous.
Han Lei said: "Lin Chen, I watch the schedule of "Mr. Zombie", should we also adjust it?"
Lin Chen naturally knew what Han Lei meant, and he must be afraid that he didn't want to collide head-on with "Mr. Zombie", but this zombie movie that can win the industry's No. 1 box office in another time and space in 85 years is also an unbreakable myth of zombie films in another time and space.
Regarding Han Lei's idea of changing the file, Lin Chen naturally refused, if "I am Gentle" and "The Decisive Battle at the Top of the Mountain" were adjusted, because of the different types, it would be forgivable, but "Mr. Zombie" and "Vampire Elf" are completely the same type of supernatural films, one represents the West and the other represents the East. If "Mr. Zombie" announces its retirement, it will be a clear indication that the supernatural film culture in the East is not as good as that of the West.
Listening to Lin Chen's explanation, Han Lei said: "Lin Chen, are you really sure to fight with "Mr. Zombie"?"
Lin Chen said: "Since it has been set, it will still be released on New Year's Day! If we change the file again, the initial publicity expenses will mean that there is no return, so there is a need to give it a try anyway." “
Listening to Lin Chen's insistence, Han Lei didn't say anything anymore, the bulk of the investment in this movie is Chopsticks Brothers Media, since Lin Chen doesn't care at all, so what scruples does Han Lei have?
Soon there was a list of New Year's Day movie releases on the Internet.
In addition to "Mr. Zombie", there is also a Chinese action film "Iron Tough Guy" and the comedy film "Don't Refuse" are released. Compared with these two low-budget movies, the most eye-catching is the showdown between "Mr. Zombie" and "Vampire Elf". One was praised by the media, the other was the object of fans' expectations, and the two movies were positioned in the same genre, so there was a heated discussion about the precursor of the two films.
"I'm sure to leave, do you support Mr. Zombie or Vampire?"
"Haha, don't be funny, let's compare "Mr. Zombie" with "Vampire Elf", are you the water army invited by Lin Chen?"
"I don't think "Vampire Elf" has any connotation except that it is more visually exciting, but I am looking forward to "Mr. Zombie" more. “
"I prefer "Vampire Elf", I think "Vampire Elf" defeated "Mr. Zombie", and compared with foreign supernatural spirits, I think it is simply pediatric. ”
"Guys who worship foreign people, but I participated in the screening, I think "Mr. Zombie" will beat "Vampire Elf". ”
……
The support for "Mr. Zombie" and those who support "Vampire Elf" on the Internet began a strong discussion on the Internet, because of the influence of the first two parts of "Vampire Elf", it is obvious that the support for "Vampire Elf" is superior.
On New Year's Day, there are already long queues at the doors of various theaters in Yanjing, and this time of year is the peak period for movie-watching.
"Get me two tickets to Vampire!"
"Get a ticket to Vampire Elf!"
"Get a ticket to Mr. Zombie!"
……
Li Shuai has personally watched the movie "Mr. Zombie", before "Mr. Zombie", Li Shuai was also a fan of "Vampire Elf", in Li Shuai's opinion, compared with "Vampire Elf", "Mr. Zombie" is better-looking, because "Mr. Zombie" is more in line with the supernatural culture of China, rather than only vampire monsters with fangs.
Therefore, in the early stage of the release of these two movies, Li Shuai booked some tickets for "Mr. Zombie" in batches and gave them to relatives, friends and employees around him to support the release of "Mr. Zombie".
Hua Weiwei fan collection, after passing the big drama "Shooting the Condor", many people have become loyal fans of Lin Chen, and Hua Weiwei also called on many fans to support "Mr. Zombie".
Although Hua Weiwei's husband Wang Liang is a loyal fan of "Shooting the Condor", Wang Liang is also a full fan of "Vampire Elf".
But on New Year's Day, Wang Liang temporarily received an order that he couldn't watch "Vampire Elf" in the first movie, but had to watch "Mr. Zombie".
As Hua Weiwei's husband, the things in Wang Liang's family over the years have basically been decided by Hua Weiwei on small things, and Wang Liang has the final say on major matters, but what is a small thing and a big thing is usually ordered by Hua Weiwei, like other things, there may be a chance to plead, but for things like watching movies, Wang Liang basically has no chance to plead, but Wang Liang's face still shows great reluctance.
Looking at the reluctance on Wang Liang's face, Hua Weiwei said: "I know you want to watch "Vampire Elf", but I didn't say that you are not allowed to watch "Vampire Elf", I just asked you to accompany me to watch "Mr. Zombie" first, you don't want me to rush into someone else's arms when I am afraid of watching a movie!"
Listening to Hua Weiwei's words, Wang Liang immediately said: "Wife, I am very willing to accompany you to watch "Mr. Zombie", and I will immediately book two movie tickets for "Mr. Zombie". ”
When he walked into the movie room where "Mr. Zombie" was playing, Wang Liang was completely in the camp, and Wang Liang decided to watch "Vampire Elf" immediately after watching "Mr. Zombie" with Hua Weiwei. Wang Liang has a discussion group of "Vampire Elf", and Wang Liang is ready to watch "Mr. Zombie" while also learning about the movie "Vampire Elf".
The story soon played out, and it began with a hilarious and funny zombie story, a zombie led by a corpse chaser passed by his brother's Yizhuang, and was spoofed by a little apprentice in Yizhuang to play as a zombie scary, and the two accidentally fought in the process, causing the zombie's charm to fall, and never staged a human-corpse battle.
At such a beginning, Wang Liang also felt a little surprised, the movie continued to be staged, Uncle Jiu's experience of eating Western tea with Wencai, and the fragment of Qiusheng's misunderstanding of Ren Tingting made Wang Liang and Hua Weiwei laugh, and then led to the main line of the story, the relocation of the old lady's grave.
In the process of being in charge of moving the grave, Uncle Nine found out that the old lady's body was strange, and suggested that Teacher Ren be cremated on the spot, but the ninth master, who had a strong family concept, refused.
Looking at the tomb knowledge popularized by Uncle Nine in Taoist clothes in the process of leading the text, Wang Liang felt that it was particularly novel. Not only Wang Liang, but many audiences watching movies in the theater are whispering.
"It turns out that there is still a name for the feng shui place, and I don't know what the feng shui name of the ancestral tomb in my hometown is. “
"I've only seen flat burials, and I really haven't seen legal burials. “
"Will it be the corpse of Old Lady Ren next, and how did the zombie form?"
"We have also had graves in our hometown, and unlike the taboo that Uncle Nine said, children and women are not allowed to enter the cemetery to watch. ”
……
The plot of "Mr. Zombie" about feng shui grave has attracted every audience in the theater, and every audience in the movie theater is full of curiosity about this "Mr. Zombie", and everyone is looking forward to the next plot of the movie.
