The Oscar-nominated "The Liberator" followed, and the film has grossed more than $100 million. The rest of the Oscar seed films such as "Les Miserables" and "Lincoln" have their own awards. The top 12 films in North America combined for about $126.3 million at the weekend box office, about the same as the same period last year. Last year, the total box office of the American film market hit a new high, and now the box office performance of the new year and new weekend is good, which can be regarded as a good start for the American film market in 2014.

"Texas Chainsaw Massacre 4" was released in 2,654 theaters in the United States last Friday, grossing $8,666 in a single theater and $27 million in its opening weekend, becoming the box office champion in the first weekend of the new year.

But the high box office did not receive a high reputation, and the outside world believes that the $27 million opening weekend box office has been better than the expected results of the film. The premiere of "Texas Chainsaw Massacre 4" is between the 2003 remake of "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" ($28.1 million in its opening weekend) and the 2006 prequel ($18.5 million in its opening weekend), but in terms of viewership, this version is now about the same as the 2006 version. Compared to Sony's other horror films, "Texas Chainsaw Massacre 4" can't compete with last year's "Demons" ($33.7 million in its opening weekend), but it is better than "Bloody Valentine" ($21.2 million in its opening weekend) and "Human Skin Inn" ($19.6 million in its opening weekend).

Generally speaking, there are more men than women in the audience of horror films. However, the statistics of "Texas Chainsaw Massacre 3D" show that there are slightly more female viewers for the film, accounting for 52%. In terms of age group, 64% are under the age of 25. Interestingly, according to a survey by Sony Pictures, one out of every three of these teenage viewers said that the main reason for watching this movie was because of Catherine Blanchett!

Unexpectedly, the time-honored new movie "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" finally relied on a new idol actor in the film to boost the box office. This also became a major weakness of the film, and the audience finally gave the film a C+ rating, that is, they didn't like this movie. Therefore, the outside world visually estimated that the total box office of the film in the United States was about 200 million US dollars at most.

The media, which has never been afraid of horror movies, did not miss the opportunity to give a bad review of "Texas Chainsaw Massacre 4" this time, with a comprehensive rating of 43 points given by 13 media. "Variety", which gave the highest score of 70 points, believes that the standard of this film is still higher than the level of most horror films.

The Los Angeles Times gave it a score of 45, believing that the original made people feel empty, scary and thrilling to watch, and the fourth episode redirected by Peter Kophera had nothing but gore and horror, and the film would have been nothing to see if it weren't for the excellent performances of Catherine and Douglas.

"Hollywood Empire", which gave it a score of 20, also considered that apart from the acting skills of Catherine Blanchett and Douglas that are worth mentioning online, Peter Copla's horror movie was bad and useless, and mocked Peter Kopla's nonsense about Cheng Xiaoyu's "Horror Movie.......

Of course, it is not without touted media, "Variety" thinks that the rhythm and atmosphere of this movie are well mastered, and the final reversal is more unexpected, it is a good suspense and horror movie, especially Douglas and Catherine's acting skills are commendable, Douglas successfully played a bloody destroyer in a mask, and Catherine's is even more pleasantly surprised, and the fear is released very realistically, which is immersive........

After New Year's Day, Cheng Xiaoyu's itinerary became busy, he went to Canada with Duanmu Linsha and Fei Junlong, where he had to go to receive the special effects studio in the "digital field", the 40 million US dollars had been paid in full, and then he had to arrange work for the company that was already completely his.

Cheng Xiaoyu aims at the highest box office of animation in memory "Frozen", although the production cycle of the cartoon is very long, but the early character design and three-dimensional storyboard of "Frozen" have long been handed over to "Atomic Light and Shadow" to do a good job, last year Atomic Light and Shadow has been doing "Frozen", in fact, the basic prototype of this cartoon has been almost completed, so it can save a lot of work time, "Digital Field" is now to do with "Atomic Light and Shadow" Make a seamless connection and work together to complete this cartoon......

The person in charge of the special effects studio in Canada in the "digital field" is called Chris Buck, a tall white man in his forties, although he already knows that the new boss is very young, but after meeting, he still feels a little outrageous, fortunately, Cheng Xiaoyu immediately arranged a lot of work for the studio, which made Chris Buck breathe a sigh of relief, at first he also listened to a lot of newspaper reports, thinking that Cheng Xiaoyu could not receive business in Hollywood, and the most afraid of a special effects studio is to have nothing to do.......

After a day's meeting, not only did no one meet, but also unexpectedly paid all the staff a New Year's Day bonus, all the staff of the Canadian special effects studio in the "digital field" temporarily calmed down, and the new boss's deep pockets made them put down the idea of looking for a new job......

The next thing was handed over to Duanmu Linsha and Fei Junlong to deal with, Cheng Xiaoyu went back to Los Angeles directly, his work schedule was very full in the New Year, his third Hollywood movie was about to start shooting, the script had been written, and now it has entered the casting stage, it is still a small-budget production, Cheng Xiaoyu wants to be released in the summer, and at the same time, the most important 3D movie in his plan will also start preparations, and strive to be released next year.......

After returning to Los Angeles, Cheng Xiaoyu and Xia Shamo went to the theater to watch "Texas Chainsaw Massacre 4" together, and after walking out of the theater, everyone's unanimous conclusion was that it was not as good as Cheng Xiaoyu's "Death is Coming".

Wang Ou even felt that "Death is Coming" was much better than "Horror Movie", so he said with confidence: "Then the box office of "Death is Coming" will definitely exceed 300 million ......." He was in charge of the No. 2 camera in this movie, so he was particularly interested in "Death is Coming......

Cheng Xiaoyu said with a smile: "Of course, I hope that North America can reach 300 million, but it still looks a little difficult, after all, the publicity time is a bit short......"

"Justin Bieber is so hot right now..... I said Xiaoyu, you should have counted Justin Bieber to be popular, so you chose "Death is Coming" and released it......, right?

Cheng Xiaoyu smiled and said, "I thought so, but I didn't expect it to be so smooth......"

Xia Shamo's focus is very different from others, she asked Cheng Xiaoyu with some curiosity: "Is this the girl who has an affair with you.......?"

Cheng Xiaoyu stretched out his hand to push his glasses, only to find that he was wearing contact lenses today, so he said with some embarrassment: "It's not bad...... But she and I can only be regarded as ordinary friends at most......." Xia Shamo's confession, Cheng Xiaoyu did not give her a positive reply, he knew very well that he was really unfair to Xia Shamo like this, but what could he do? Reject Xia Shamo fiercely and drive her away from him? Xia Shamo will not be happy if he does it like that, and he will not be happy.

For him, Su Yuxi is not a wound in his heart, but a regret. No matter how heavy the wound is, there will always be a day when it will heal, but regret is different, it will follow you until the end of your life.

So he can only pretend that nothing has happened and continue to maintain the status quo...... He had to make himself reach the plan he had arranged before he could give himself and the others an account.......

Back home, Cheng Xiaoyu thought about it and sent a WeChat message to Catherine, saying: I watched the movie, you acted very well.

Catherine asked rhetorically: Who is better, "Texas Chainsaw Massacre 4" or "The Grim Reaper is Coming", this time she didn't be able to see "The Grim Reaper" in advance.

Cheng Xiaoyu replied without hesitation: Although I really want to be humble, but unfortunately, "Death is Coming" is better......

Catherine did not continue to reply to the message, and Cheng Xiaoyu was considering whether to invite Catherine to star in this movie, which was very important to him, Catherine was impeccable in terms of appearance and acting skills, and she was also very suitable for playing that role......

Although Justin Bieber's singing is very ordinary, his acting skills are still good, unlike Catherine Blanchett's academic school, Justin Bieber's acting skills are completely polished in life, and he belongs to people who are born to mix this bowl of rice.......

When he was thinking about it, Chen Haoran called Cheng Xiaoyu to take a look on the Internet, saying that someone on the Internet had exposed part of Justin Bieber's black history, Cheng Xiaoyu was not too surprised when he heard the news, after all, this incident will happen sooner or later with the popularity of Justin Bieber......

It's just that Justin Bieber's red is too fast, and the speed is beyond Cheng Xiaoyu's expectations, so although Cheng Xiaoyu has been prepared for a long time, it has not been completed.......

(The book is expected to be completed in June..... will not be written until the end of the year)
