Early March.

In China, Ye Chen's "Truant Weilong 2" is hilarious, and the nonsensical frolic finally dilutes the sadness that permeates the Spring Festival. The audience cried with joy: It's still the movie directed by Ye Chen that is more joyful.

Abroad, Hachiko's claws have also entered the cinemas of the United States, Britain, France and other countries, and he has deceived the gringos' tears without much effort.

Many foreigners shouted with tears in their eyes, how can there be such a loyal dog and such a touching story in this world?

It's not scientific!

However, the science is not scientific, and the tears have already "betrayed" the emotion in their hearts anyway.

In the first week, the film scheduling rate of Hachiko was very low, and Warner did not arrange too many screens for insurance. But even so, Hachiko won $3,000 at the box office in the first week, and the high attendance was terrifying.

As a literary film, Hachiko has already succeeded.

In the second week, Warner increased the number of screens, which caused Hachiko's weekly box office to skyrocket again, reaching $5,000.

The super high reputation and good box office results convinced Warner and many senior executives.

is worthy of being a movie magician, no matter what type of movie can play with flowers in his hands.

In addition, in the United Kingdom, France, Brazil and other places, the results of the Eight Princes are also very remarkable. Especially in France, a group of literary and artistic young people can't wait to buy an Akita dog after watching the movie.

In foreign countries, the popularity of pets is much higher than that of Huaxia. Especially in the United States, the territory is large, but the population is small, and many families live in single-family cottages with a yard.

The point is, the house is cheaper.

So many families will choose to have a pet.

However, the global dog craze brought by Hachiko did not last long, and soon, another movie that ruined Sanguan suddenly hit major theaters around the world.

Of course, this does not include the mainland of China, and the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television also rejected the film very simply and decisively.

Without him, because the name of the movie is called:

"The Grim Reaper is Coming".

An R-level restricted-level bloody violence movie!

It's bloodier than Saw Horror!

In the United States, the R-rated is recommended for viewers over the age of seventeen. And in Xiangjiang, it was also given an IIB level, and it was recommended that minors not watch it.

As for the mainland, it was directly given a fork, how far to roll away, not allowed to be released!

Why did you make it so bloody, even our radio and television auditors were so frightened that they vomited and vomited, what if you frightened the future flowers of our motherland?

Han Qiu and Wen Ziren are also helpless, radio and television have never let go of this type of film. Especially Wen Ziren, he looked up to the sky and sighed:

"When will the movie I make be released in mainland China!"

In this regard, Han Qiu comforted over the phone: "Ziren, you don't think about this, unless you don't make horror movies, don't think about coming to the mainland of China for development in your life." Well, your taste is really too heavy, I heard that the censors of radio and television at that time were scared and vomited. ”

Wen Ziren: "...... Damn, Director Han, this is the advice you gave me, why don't you turn your face and say that I have a heavy taste, can I still be a good friend happily?"

Director Han, I really believe in your evil!

Wen Ziren's grievances are not mentioned for the time being, on April Fool's Day in early April, the Grim Reaper came to be released simultaneously in the United States, Xiangjiang, Taiwan, island countries and other places.

This time, Wen Ziren is targeting the two major ticket warehouses of the United States and the island country. Because these two places in the world have the most research on horror films.

It's just that the island countries are biased towards the supernatural, and the United States is biased towards blood.

And the Grim Reaper is coming, which is both supernatural and very bloody, both!

The point is that the setting of the plot is particularly interesting. The combination of a variety of novel ways to die, a seamless arrangement of props and the supernatural powers of the Grim Reaper makes it all very exciting.

Since you should have died at this time, it will be difficult for you to pull out the palm of death's hand no matter where you flee.

The screen is full of blood!

Therefore, as soon as the Grim Reaper was released, it caused a wave of Grim Reaper craze all over the world. No one ever thought that horror movies could be played like this.

"A boy foresaw the plane crash and saved seven people before the accident, but the death list was predestined, and they could not escape for a while. Death came to the door one by one and killed everyone!"

"The way the Grim Reaper kills people is too powerful, and he doesn't have to come forward, he can easily kill people by remotely setting up a death-defying situation. ”

"Ahh It feels like there are signs of death in everything. What should I do, will the Grim Reaper find my head? ”

"The invisible murderer is the most terrifying!"

"Actually, I think it's better to have a plane crash at first, but then every day of waiting is really tormenting, and I see that I am worried every minute, for fear that if I don't pay attention, people will die. ”

Indeed, the biggest attraction of the Grim Reaper is that he told the audience all the people he was going to kill at the beginning, and even the order was clearly arranged. This kind of waiting, knowing who is going to die, but not having the slightest power to fight back, is the most torturous.

Because people are worrying all the time, they are all guessing. Worry about the fate of the dying person, and guess how the Grim Reaper will kill the person.

This off-screen battle with death is also quite attractive.

Coupled with the bloodiness that is much more terrifying than the chainsaw, it directly made countless audiences scream in the cinema.

In the first week of release, the Grim Reaper came and achieved a box office of $7,000 in the United States, because it is an R-rated horror film and the audience is not very large, so the box office is not particularly high. But even so, the appearance of the Grim Reaper has given the horror movie industry another invincible army.

Wen Ziren is also "affectionately" called the king of terror by the American media.

As the patriarch of the Chainsaw Flow and the Death Stream, this kid can indeed afford this title.

However, in the mainland of China, many horror movie lovers are full of grievances, and this unattainable feeling is undoubtedly the most aggrieved.

"I really want to see the Grim Reaper coming, I heard that the movie is not bad. ”

"I can only think about it upstairs, it's only been a week since it was released in the United States, and I can't find resources. ”

"You can go to Xiangjiang to see it, it's on over there. ”

"Hehe, I'm traveling in Xiangjiang now, and I just happened to see the Grim Reaper. The movie is still good, but it's worse than Saw Horror. After all, this is a supernatural movie, and there is no shock from a chainsaw. ”

"Chainsaw is a classic of thriller horror movies, and so is Director Wen, who set himself an insurmountable mountain as soon as he debuted. ”

"I can't say, I can't say, maybe Wen Dao will break out one day. ”

"Eruption..... No matter how much he breaks out, it doesn't matter to us in the mainland. ”

"Well, the truth upstairs, radio and television and Wen Dao are incompatible. ”

Many netizens in Huaxia sighed, and they could only wait for the movie to be released and find resources from the Internet to watch it.

Han Qiu was also very heartbroken when he saw the sighs of netizens, these potential audiences are all box office, just because of a word from radio and television, these are all gone.

But the heartache is the heartache, and the road still has to be walked.

In mid-April, Han Qiu went to Huaxian Animation to inspect the progress of Transformers Anime.

Transformers chose a two-dimensional flat anime, which is a little easier than three-dimensional. After all, the production speed of one episode a week by the island people is obvious to all animation lovers in China.

At this moment, in the office, Chen Dong is reporting on the production progress of Transformers, "Director Han, the 36 episodes of the first season of Transformers are about to be completed, and it is expected to be officially launched before June." ”

Han Qiu nodded with satisfaction: "Yes, since it can be launched before June, it is better to change the time to June 1st, which happens to be Children's Day." ”

"Okay. ”

"Chen Dong, if you are asked to make a 3D model of the Transformers, how far can you go?"

Chen Dong hesitated: "This... Director Han, what do you want to achieve?"

Han Qiu's eyes narrowed, "I want them to be able to see every part of their body clearly when they are transformed!"

Chen Dong looked embarrassed, "Director Han, you have this request..... I don't want you to say that our Huaxian Animation doesn't have this strength now, we are doing CG animation, not professional special effects. ”

Hearing this, Han Qiu also sighed, he also knew in his heart that the special effects technology of Transformers was indeed too difficult. It can be said that if there are no special effects, this movie is basically scrapped.

Han Qiu has heard that the special effects of Transformers in the previous life accounted for 80% of the investment in the whole film, which is the highest ratio in ancient and modern times.

To put it bluntly, Transformers plays with special effects, and plays with heartbeats.

"Okay, I won't bother you about this, but you have to do it for me. ”

"Director Han, don't worry, this is absolutely no problem!" Chen Dong patted his chest and promised.

"Also, how's Kung Fu Panda 2 going?"

"It is expected to be completed by the end of this year. ”

Han Qiu frowned slightly: "At the end of the year, the progress is a little slow." ”

"Isn't it like some people are going to do anime, and when the Transformers are finished, the progress can be pulled up. ”

"Even if it's going to disappoint you. Han Qiu smiled weirdly, "Who said I wouldn't give you any other tasks besides Transformers?"

Chen Dong was stunned....

........

On the way home, Han Qiu was thinking about a question in his mind:

That's how to get the Transformers special effects perfectly. If it weren't for those special effects that are so subtle to the extreme, this movie wouldn't have made that much box office at all.

"The special effects of our own Huaxian will be the best for the Matrix, and it is still too difficult to complete the Transformers. ”

"Do you want to package it up for other top special effects companies?"

Han Qiu still remembers that when he made the special effects of Journey to the West, he was packaged for Industrial Light and Magic.

But now he doesn't want to pack it for outsiders, because there is more than one Transformers, and almost every one of those big IPs in his mind is a special effects killer.

It feels a little heart-wrenching that so many movies are all made for outsiders.

"It seems that it's time to show the temperament of a local tyrant and squander it!"
