Chapter 551: Western Film Premiere

"I love you too!" He Mu hurriedly replied, then entered the theater and started the movie premiere, and then answered reporters' questions.

This is the first time that He Mu's painstaking "Zi Bu Si" has met the world, because to participate in the film festival, the first public screening must be placed at the film festival, so it is a pity that he failed to let his Chinese people have a sneak peek, but fortunately, there are many Chinese students in the audience, including Xu Huanqing, who has graduated and found a job here, and He Mu's former temporary translator.

"Wow, it's so good-looking, it's a hundred times better than I imagined!" As a directorial debut, He Mu's performance exceeded many people's expectations, which is definitely much stronger than many movie debuts with a ticket nature.

"The girl who plays Xiaoyu is so cute, although I'm a woman, I can't stand the impact of this level of cuteness!" Some people pay attention to the plot of the movie, and some people are purely attracted by the cuteness of the heroine Xiao Shuidian, if the poster is not charming enough, when you watch the movie, you will be deeply conquered by this elf-like little girl, especially in Japan, which lives in the two-dimensional world, a nine-year-old cute girl with big eyes, short hair, and oblique bangs is enough to make them amazed, exclaimed, and amazed, how can there be such a likable little girl in this world! It's unimaginable! never deliberately sold cute, but the name of the little water spot that was honestly performed instantly spread all over Japan, and those Japanese child stars were compared to the little water point all of a sudden.

In Japan, many people have read the original comics of "Zi Bu Yu", and they are very faithful, and many people are dissatisfied with He Mu's change of Xiaobai to yellow potatoes. In addition to this change, in order to make the plot smoother, He Mu still made great changes to the plot deletion. So in the original party, He Mu became the object of verbal criticism, but it was only changed too much by a few complaints, but when it comes to artistic conception, He Mu still respects the atmosphere created by Xia Da very much, and under the expression of his film language, he also achieved the purpose of letting the audience enjoy it, and one of the themes of the comic is respect and love for nature. "Zi Bu Silent" also basically realizes the expression appeal of this theme, although because it is a series of movies, the first part is not so sufficient, full and perfect. But from the ingenious integration and adaptation of the stories of "Shadow" and "Old Carpenter", we can still see the director's intentions.

Some people also analyze the story from the plot aspect, some people think that the story of "Zi Bu Yu" is somewhat like Miyazaki's classic anime "Spirited Away", and some people think that this story is more like Miyazaki's early work "My Neighbor Totoro". Although there are quite a few other theories. However, the most mainstream theory is that He Mu's work style is similar to Hayao Miyazaki's classic animation.

He Mu has no objection to this, to be honest, He Mu's most admired and favorite Japanese director is not Kurosawa Emperor Kurosawa Akira, but the highest configuration that has created a new era of animation, director, he has seen every one of his movies, he likes Miyazaki's directing style, as can be seen from some of the expressions in the works, but He Mu's works are a little different from Miyazaki's classics. Not just one is a cartoon, the other is a live-action movie.

After that night, the most discussed movie in the Japanese entertainment industry the next day was probably this "Zi Bu Si". It already has a strong foundation in Japan, and the East Film Festival finally decided to make the film the closing film of the film festival as the closing film of the film festival and a main competition unit work because many people want to see this He Mu's film debut, which is a supreme honor.

After his movie was screened once, He Mu left Tokyo that night and flew to the United States, because "Cold Heart" was about to be released, so the sensation caused by "Zi Bu Yu" in Japan was also known through the mouths of others, and he also agreed to the requirements of the organizing committee, after all, this is also an affirmation of the quality of "Zi Bu Si", and he has no reason to disagree.

October 31 is Halloween in the West, which is equivalent to Halloween in China, and every holiday is a good day for horror movies to go out en masse, and thriller fans are also used to going to the cinema on this day to watch some films to exercise their courage.

Out of confidence in the quality of "Cold Heart", Touchstone decided to put "Cold Heart" on October 29, two days before Halloween, and in order not to kill each other, Jeff decided to postpone the release of Wen's other film "Latent" (aka "The Shadow Room"), perhaps until next year.

Also released on the same day is Lionsgate's "Saw 7" 3D version, "Cold Heart" will fight head-on with "Saw 7", both films were created by Wen Ziren, is he personally directed "Cold Heart" better, or has accumulated the popularity of six films, the classic horror series "Saw Horror" created by him is more powerful, which is something that the audience and the media are very concerned about, and even become an effective means for the two films to hype each other, and each other's fame has been highly enhanced.

However, it would be a big mistake to think that "Cold Heart" only has the opponent of "Saw 7", in the previous week, Paramount preemptively released the sequel film "Ghost Shadow 2" (also known as "Supernatural Phenomenon 2") (also known as "Supernatural Phenomenon 2"), the first part of which achieved a super high box office in North America, setting a new benchmark for small-budget horror films, and the second part was wrapped up in the prestige of the first part. This low-budget horror film, which cost only a few million dollars, grossed $6.3 million on 1,800 screens on the day of its release, more than double the cost, and later expanded to 4,500 screens in 3,216 movie theaters in North America, eventually earning an average of $12,904 per theater and a total of $41.5 million in the first three days of the opening weekend! This result is more successful than any "Chainsaw".

Because "Saw 7" is a 3D version, it has been released for a week, and the momentum of "Smart: Ghost Record 2" is a greater threat to "Cold Heart", because both films are 2D versions, and they are movies of the same type, so they will definitely be. Whether it is "Ghost Record" or "Chainsaw Horror", both films have a fairly high foundation of their predecessors, "Cold Heart" is probably stronger than the two films, that is, the cast is stronger, and this is a PG-13 level horror film, with more audiences than the R-rated "Ghost Record 2" and "Chainsaw 7", Wen Ziren reluctantly removed some heavy pictures, and cleverly hid the horror factor into the plot of the movie, instead of scaring the audience with the help of plasma and stumps, I hope this can achieve miraculous results.

For the film "Cold Heart", the distributor's touchstone positioning of He Mu is one of the three leading actors, so important publicity occasions and interviews are basically Joseph, Scarlett, and He Mu, although He Mu is the least famous among the three in the United States, the most non-existent one, but after a few days of publicity, He Mu's popularity has risen gradually, and the name of "Chinese giant" has resounded in North America again, and the company has helped him engage in Facebook and Twitter, and now there are thousands of fans. I believe that more people will like him after the movie is released, and He Mu's journey of "superstar in the world" will begin from here...... (To be continued......)
