Chapter 378 of the text is the second wave of terror

Next chapter

Fireworks are in full bloom.

The sound of firecrackers bids farewell to the old year.

2011 passed, and 2012 arrived. Of course, in addition to representing a year of growth, there has been no major change for Zhang Tan, and life is still spent in a plain and warm life.

However, this does not mean that Zhang Tan is completely isolated from work.

He can still write scripts without going out, and he has now stocked up on a large number of scripts, and the excellent movies in his mind are basically written into scripts by him, and then stored in the safe. These scripts, if they are to be made into movies one by one, at least dozens of them can be made, and if one is made a year, it is basically enough for Zhang Tan to shoot until he is old.

Therefore, Zhang Tan really doesn't have to worry about running out of inventory and no movie shooting, in fact, he can't finish filming. Many movie scripts, he just wrote them, maybe he just threw them to others to shoot.

Just like he threw "Crazy Racing", "People in Embarrassment", and "Smart: Ghost Shadow" to Chen Lipai.

Now, I have to throw a good movie to Chen Li again.

"Chen Li, I have already written the sequel to "People in Embarrassment", you can come and get it."

"Really? Inspector, I love you so much, I wrote it so quickly, it's just 6 to 6! I must hold your thighs firmly in the future, Brother Detective, you are not allowed to forget about others when you have a wife and children. Chen Li said coquettishly.

Zhang Tan vomited: "Vomit! Don't give me numbness! In my heart, I remember that I just don't have to worry about eating meat and drinking soup with my brother. ”

When Chen Li rushed over from Beiqian after the New Year, Zhang Tan handed over the script to him, and at the same time, he also told him the details of the script, and said at the end: "I have a very big hunch, this movie is going to be popular, you hurry up and get it, it will be released at the end of the year, and it will become the first Chinese film in China to break 1 billion at the box office!" ”

The sequel to "People in Embarrassment" is "People Are Embarrassment in Thailand", which is the exaggerated comedy with a box office of 1.2 billion in the previous life, which is so awesome that it can't be done.

But it's also a bit of a bull in China. The foreign box office is all hitting the street, and the word-of-mouth is also so-so, this kind of movie that only has a box office, a mediocre reputation, and a bad overseas appearance, Zhang Tan will not make it.

Of course. The director handed it over to Chen Li, and it is estimated that most of the achievements of the final movie will be counted on his head. After all, Zhang Tan will be a famous producer, and he is a screenwriter and a time for publicity. These two aspects will also be highlighted.

In short, Zhang Tan is reluctant to suffer.

……

Winter is gradually passing away as the old years are gone, the spring flowers have bloomed from the ridges of the fields, and the grass grows and the warbler flies in March.

Susa is also approaching her due date, Zhang Tan began to get nervous, and tried to stay by Susa's side every day, completely disappearing from the eyes of the public. But his works are still going on step by step.

On March 9, 2012, the pseudo-documentary "Smart: Ghost Shadow" produced and written by Zhang Tan and directed by Chen Li was released in North America.

This pseudo-documentary has taken an unusual release route. It was first released in several theaters, and then the topic of real ghost stories was hyped up, arousing the curiosity of the audience. Then Hunger Marketing, which was still only released in a dozen theaters. And then it was still only released in more than 100 theaters.

As a result, this time, it was a great success, and the audience who had been holding back for a long time frantically squeezed into 160 theaters, breaking out the box office of $7.9 million, ranking fourth at the weekend box office.

The single museum is 49,379 US dollars, and the limelight is unparalleled for a while. It was full almost from morning to night.

It immediately caused an alarm in the United States.

Then the next weekend, it expanded to 760 theaters and directly received $19.62 million at the box office, ranking third at the weekend box office. The single hall is 25,813 US dollars, which is still full.

"It's scared to death!"

"I really don't dare to look at it anymore, I'm about to suffocate."

"One of the scariest movies I've seen this year!"

"Is that true, is that true!"

The media's evaluation is not good, but the audience's response is exaggerated to the point of incredible. A pseudo-documentary with negligible costs. It completely detonated the highlights.

In the fifth week of its release, it was expanded to 1,945 theaters, and finally got a box office of $21.1 million, which successfully topped the North American weekend box office, and a single theater can still exceed $10,000. This is an achievement that the horror masterpiece "Chainsaw" has not done.

In the face of such an incredible box office, those film critics and media people who previously commented that the movie was terrible couldn't do it.

"Who is Chen Li?"

"Producer Tan Zhang? Screenwriter Tan Zhang? ”

"The most miraculous box office journey of the year, "Smart: Ghost Shadow" turned out to be the work of "Chainsaw" director Tan Zhang?"

"A thriller masterpiece jointly presented by Chinese directors."

Everyone is concerned about why this pseudo-documentary horror film has so great potential, they found out the director of the film, Chen Li, and also found out that the producer and screenwriter is Tan Zhang, and from Robert Friedman, they know that this qiē is planned by Tan Zhang behind the scenes.

“god！ Tan Zhang is simply a horror genius, he knows how to make people scary, he scares everyone! ”

"Chinese directors have taken over Hollywood horror films? Tan Zhang and Chen Li, two Chinese directors, have created the most wonderful horror films. ”

"Tan Zhang is so powerful, "Chainsaw" and "Smart: Ghost Shadow" are all from his hands, and his attainments in horror films far surpass others. In June this year, there will be "Death Coming", which he produced and wrote, will be released soon, and perhaps, we will see him use horror films again to break our perceptions. ”

As Zhang Tan expected, the success of "Smart: Ghost Shadow", in addition to attributing the reason to the surprising success of publicity, the media still put more credit on Zhang Tan's head.

Even Chen Li himself said in an interview: "When Tan Zhang asked me to shoot "Smart: Ghost Shadow", I couldn't believe that he only gave me more than 100,000 US dollars, I said this is not good, I can't shoot, he said okay, you just shoot, we will succeed." As it turned out, we succeeded. ”

In the end, "Smart: Ghost Record" became the most awesome horror film in 2012 with a total box office of $107.9 million in North America and $193.4 million worldwide.

Robert immediately said in an interview with the media: "We are already preparing the sequel to "Smart: Ghost Shadow", and next year is still this time, but before that, we still have "Death Comes" to be released in June, believe me, believe in Tan Zhang, a genius director from China, we know horror better than Lionsgate!" ”

Lionsgate, which made its fortune in horror films, responded to the media very unhappily: "We are the professional in horror films, Summit Entertainment happened to succeed in two movies, and it swelled, they will be stumbling, maybe the next "Death is Coming"! ”

But this is bound to be wishful thinking.

……

Zhang Tan didn't think about how much money he earned from foreigners by relying on two horror movies.

All his spirits fluctuate for one thing.

On April 10, 2012, the twentieth day of the third lunar month, Susa was pushed into the delivery room. The doctor didn't let Zhang Tan go in to accompany the birth, he could only wait anxiously outside with his family. (~^~)h:.4.44.19 Mobile phone users please visit wènhttp://mnet
