Chapter 239: A New Horror Work

One hundred million!

When "Battle Royale" got such data, it was only three weeks before the release of the film, and many people hadn't even reacted yet!

The first week was only less than 20 million data, but in the next two weeks, it ushered in a surge in word-of-mouth and box office, accompanied by the preemptive theatrical film schedule, and finally harvested an astonishing box office of more than 80 million in the past two weeks, making the total box office exceed 100 million!

The movie box office is such a thing, the times and development, the environment and humanity are all elements that lead to its growth or decline, put it in this world of China, before 2000, the Chinese film market once experienced a stage of almost zero, at that stage, the annual box office of the whole country in China may be about 120 million, in that era when people all over the country are thinking about going to the sea to make money, what is a movie? Can you eat it? The same is to watch, the TV screen is smaller!

Such an idea is not only the idea of ordinary people, but even some movie theaters think so, in Fan Cheng's mind, he has seen a vague data in the memory of his predecessor, saying that Yangji City, as the capital of a province, can only find less than ten cinemas in the city at the lowest time.

At that time, almost all of these ten movie theaters were operating at a loss, no, many of them did not even have a "business", and most of the work of such theaters was to show old movies to elementary and middle school students in the neighborhood.

After the most painful years, the situation is now getting better. In recent years, the Chinese film market has begun to gradually rise, people have begun to realize the good-looking movies, and those blockbusters in the world have also entered the field of vision of Chinese audiences, especially the Titanic a few years ago.

With the gradual discovery of the charm of the movie, the box office of the film market is also increasing year by year, and the overall economic level of China in this world is much better than that of Fan Cheng's world, so 100 million is not a challenge that all Chinese directors can't reach.

But even so, the 100 million yuan box office director is still a big and key achievement.

Like Fan Cheng's first three works, the youth trilogy produced by his screenwriter, these three works are actually quite popular, both in terms of discussion and attention, but even these three works still failed to reach the goal of 100 million yuan at the box office of a single film.

In the previous era, the box office of 100 million yuan was the symbol of the top directors in China, but after that era, even now, even ten years later, 100 million yuan directors are an extremely important milestone for film directors and film directors.

No matter how much you invest, no matter what you have done before and after, whether your work is praised as a masterpiece or scolded as a big bad movie, the sales of 100 million yuan means that you are recognized, and it means that your work is qualified to enter this circle.

As for the director who can get a box office of 100 million yuan for his first work?

Either you're lucky, or you've just happened to come across the most suitable era for you, or you're absolutely powerful, either way, you're sure to become the most watched and loved investor.

Fan Cheng, who has achieved such results, has to run to the capital almost every time he leaves the set except for filming in Yangji during this time, and entering the 100 million yuan club is a huge expansion of his popularity and influence, although he has always rarely cared about things other than works, at least in the initial period he still has to participate in these.

During the time in the capital, if Wen Jia is not free, it is Fan Xiaoqian and Wen Zhen who accompany him, among which Fan Xiaoqian still has to go to school most of the time, so Wen Zhen is the girl Fan Cheng has seen the most during this time.

With 20 million album sales, Wen Zhenshi has become the top singer in China, and now that the publicity period has passed, and she has not continued to go to school like Fan Xiaoqian, she has plenty of time to work or play with her third uncle.

"These are the two scripts that you are going to invest in next, Third Uncle?" Wen Zhen picked up Fan Cheng's two notebooks and asked.

"That's right, but I advise you to be mentally prepared before you look at it. Fan Cheng said, he was lying on the bed in his pajamas at the moment fiddling with the CD player, and the place where they were at the moment was the house that Wen Zhen rented in the capital.

"It's the kind of "Battle Royale" again, Third Uncle, your taste is too heavy!" Wen Zhen said and climbed into bed and leaned against the man, both of them were wearing pajamas at this time and there was only one bed in the room, everyone could see that it was not the first time they had faced such a scene.

"It's not like that, this time it's a very simple horror movie. Fan Cheng said.

"Horror movies, the kind of bloody ones, Third Uncle, can't you write something normal?" Wen Zhen asked.

In Fan Cheng's previous life, there are two main classifications of horror films, Eastern horror and Western horror films, Western horror films are basically based on pictures and creating atmosphere, bloody pictures, even severed limbs, cruel scenes abound, leaving the impression that most of the bright red blood and the like.

Oriental horror films, on the other hand, focus more on psychological horror, relying on stories, characters, voices, etc. to create a sense of psychological horror, with less bloody pictures and more of a black and white tone.

In fact, there is such a distinction in this world, Hong Kong Island, Taiwan Island, the mainland and even Southeast Asia have some horror films, but the oriental horror in this world is not as obvious as the difference between Fan Cheng's world and Western horror, like Hong Kong Island's horror films, although Hong Kong Island also realizes that it should make something different from Europe and the United States, but it is still not immune from its influence.

In addition, Hong Kong Island's works often tend to follow the trend seriously, and once a genre becomes popular, they will swarm to follow the past, resulting in horror movies everywhere for a period of time, and directors even come up with gimmicks such as horror and comedy in order to win by surprise, putting two completely different styles together, so the influence is not great.

As for the horror films in the mainland, although there are also some works such as chatting, they are not mainstream on the whole.

Because the oriental horror of this world is missing a very important link, that is, Japanese-style horror movies.

Japanese-style horror is the most important component of oriental horror films, and Asian horror films that lack this part have always been considered to be vassals of Western horror films in this world, so when it comes to horror films, Wen Zhencai first thinks of Western horror.

Of course, Fan Cheng's first "Battle Royale" is considered a Western horror film is also one of the reasons.

Although Fan Cheng thinks that the film "Battle Royale" is worth discussing whether it is even a horror movie.

If he really wants to say it, Fan Cheng would rather classify "Battle Royale" as a road movie.

Although there is no car and no road.

Wen Zhen picked up the two scripts and climbed onto the bed, got into Fan Cheng's arms and flipped them.

""The Grudge" and ...... "Midnight Bell"? These two names look much more terrifying than "Battle Royale"!" Wen Zhen had room to comment at first, but after watching it for a few minutes, she started a cold war.

Fan Cheng smiled evilly and hugged him tighter.

When Wen Zhen, who had watched it for a few more minutes, flipped it again and saw the illustration of Sadako crawling out of the TV scene in "Midnight Bell", the girl couldn't stand it.

She screamed and threw the script under the bed and began beating the men next to her.

"I'm scared to death! I'm scared to death! Third uncle, you, you, you!!, you,

"Oh! hmm!" Fan Cheng screamed and screamed as he was beaten, and the two hugged each other again.

Wen Zhen gasped a little quickly, calming his mood.

"I may not dare to watch TV for a while, it's all your fault!"

"What's so scary, you're just reading the script, and it's scary when it's released and watching the movie. Fan Cheng smiled.

Wen Zhen thought about it, watching the picture of Sadako crawling out on the big screen of the movie is simply not too scary.

"Don't leave today, I'm so scared, I want to hug ......" Wen Zhen said as he licked Fan Cheng's earlobe.

"But your sister is coming over tonight. Fan Cheng's hand slid down.

"Let her come over too, has my sister read these two scripts of yours?" asked Wen Zhen.

"Not yet. ”

"I'll tell you......" The girl whispered in the man's ear: "My sister is not afraid of "Battle Royale", but she is actually most afraid of demons and monsters, you show her this script, I guarantee that she is more scared than me, and she will definitely not dare to sleep alone at that time, at that time...... The three of us can ...... together."

!!

Fan Cheng suddenly moved.

It turns out that the two sisters of the Wen family are actually quite open, Wen Jia had a breakthrough with Fan Cheng soon after establishing a relationship with Fan Cheng, and Wen Zhen has been deliberately seducing her prospective brother-in-law for several years, and now the two have made substantial progress, and the girl is thinking about doing some happy things with her sister again.

"But I really can't understand why you can create such two works at the same time, Third Uncle......," Wen Zhen got out of bed and picked up the script and said.

Fan Cheng looked at the disheveled girl and asked, "You mean Dongai with this?"

Wen Zhen didn't understand, and the audience didn't understand it, and many fans of Fan Cheng felt that they were about to be fine-divided.

There are not many people in this group of third uncles, but most of them are extremely hardcore, other star artists are garbage in their eyes, how can any artist compare to the talent of the third uncle, when Fan Cheng's works are released, they are the first to watch them in various ways.

Since April, "East Love" has been staged, for Fan Cheng's fans, this day is simply a carnival, the third uncle has not personally directed the TV series for a long time, although the third uncle has been writing the script himself at nine o'clock on Monday, but without the third uncle's directing, everyone will always feel as if something is missing.

As for the quality of "East Love", it is absolutely not to say, for Chinese audiences in this era, East Love is almost perfect, and in terms of plot and quality of works, Fan Cheng is difficult to have an opponent for a while.

Then, in May, Fan Cheng's first film was released.

Being a film and TV director at the same time, let alone in China, even if you look at the world, this situation is very rare, and few film directors are willing to deign to do TV, which is a pity for the audience.

Fan Cheng seems to have little such prejudice, he can do whatever he wants, so when the TV series was broadcast simultaneously, "Battle Royale" was released.

However, this movie has become a pain in the hearts of Fan Cheng's die-hard fans, most of them are intensive study of "East Love", and they are familiar with the lines and plots in the TV series, but they have received a completely different impact in the cinema.

The fact that there are almost no people left in a movie is too shocking for these fans who may have been intoxicated with love last night.

Some people even jokingly said: "I'm really scared now, I'm afraid that at the end of the drama "East Love", the third uncle will send all the characters in it to the uninhabited island, hang a collar and let them kill each other, if by then, Lu Yi used a submachine gun to break everyone out, then this story may become a god!"

Of course, this kind of "masterpiece" is impossible, but everyone is deeply impressed by this fan's speech.

"How did the third uncle's sulcus grow? What kind of education did he receive to create horror stories while writing love scripts, people always say that the text is like his person, and this sentence seems to work at all in the third uncle!"

"The third uncle shouldn't have created two scripts at the same time, right? "Battle Royale" should have been preparing for filming more than a year ago. Someone asked.

"How do you know what the third uncle is doing at the same time, for example, now that the third uncle is filming Dongai, how do you know if he is writing the script of a horror movie at the same time. Someone retorted.

The broadcast of "East Love" has gradually improved, the plot of the TV series is impressive, and many viewers have memorized the classic lines, and the whole society seems to be infected by East Love, and the girls have become active and enthusiastic, expressing their love and desires more directly, Lixiang's sentence "Let's do it, love." Although it has caused many conservative people to attack and slander, more people support this drama and Fan Cheng, everyone loves Lixiang, and they also love this TV series that is all love, only love.

Relying on such a social environment and support, the ratings of "East Love" are also rising, and the ratings of the first episode of the program are 3.5%, which is the highest rating of Fan Cheng's first episode in Shuzhong Satellite TV.

After the third episode was broadcast, the ratings of "East Love" ushered in a take-off, with 7% for the fourth episode, 9% for the fifth episode, and 13% for the sixth episode!

But everyone knows that this is only the sixth episode!

"East Love" is an eleven-episode TV series, and there are five more episodes to come, and the attention has been fermented to the peak at the moment, and when the seventh episode is broadcast, the whole continent from south to north and east to west, there seem to be many fewer pedestrians on the streets, especially fewer women, everyone is in front of the TV, waiting for a new chapter in this drama.
