"This trip will be your journey to death."

"Every action must have a response; Every cause must have an effect; Every beginning must have an end. ”

"No accidents, no coincidences, nowhere to run."

"People, there is no accidental death, no horizontal death, no unjust death, no tragic death, only a doomed death."

This is a classic quote from a movie, and this movie is very uniquely conceived and different from the average horror movie.

There are no violent scenes in horror films at all, but endless horror through tense music and constant black shadows, gloomy winds, and bizarre ways of dying.

"The image of an airplane wing reflected in the window, which seems to be swaying in the rain, is a sign of a future plane accident."

"The shadow of the hanging doll on the ground resembles a hanged man, foreshadowing Todd's death."

"The picture in the magazine shows the guillotine of the French Revolution and foreshadows Billy's death."

“……”

The design of death mode imposes the impermanence and helplessness of life on everyone, and the audience can easily have a sense of substitution; And the failure of the protagonists to redeem themselves also conveys to the audience a deep despair, and a sense of fear arises spontaneously.

If you are choked by fate and want to escape, but you can't escape.

This movie is known as one of the top ten classic thrillers in the former time and space - "Death is Coming!!

Wang Shang was pacing back and forth, his heart was pounding~bang~bang~ beating rapidly, and he couldn't control it at all. I began to think back to the scenes in the movie.

The protagonist 7 people avoid death because they predict the plane crash, and then encounter the death design of the Grim Reaper's constant attacks......

"Not on this plane! That's great! ”

"This movie should be able to create a new height for thrillers in this time and space!!"

Wang Shang stopped. Start opening the script editor and tap on the keyboard.

"Pengcheng No. 44 High School. Senior 3 (4) students are preparing to board a flight to Southeast Asia for a tourist ......"

"Moments before the plane takes off, the protagonist foresees the scene of the plane crash. Go back to reality and find that everything happened as predicted......"

"The protagonist fled in a panic, and finally five classmates and one teacher followed him off the plane and survived."

"But just as they were rejoicing, the Grim Reaper design struck ......"

"You may get a second chance to live, but you can't fool the Grim Reaper!!"

Although the weather in February was still cold, Wang Shang felt that the cells in his body were boiling!

In the excitement!

Trembling!

……

While Wang Shang was working hard to write the script of "The Grim Reaper", "Those Years" was being freshly released in Taiwan, Japan, South Korea, and Singapore and other Southeast Asian regions.

Although Southeast Asia, Japan, South Korea and other regions have similar cultural atmospheres, after "Those Years" was released in these regions. Still mediocre.

Basically, it's one or two million a week, and it's not hot. After nearly four weeks of release, it was forced to be released, and the total box office equivalent to RMB was only 30 million yuan, and the taxes and channels basically did not make any money.

However, unlike the box office response in these regions, the box office in Taiwan is described as a miracle.

"Those Years" relied on the publicity gimmick of "the story is adapted from a Taiwanese's self-description", and as soon as it was released in Taiwan, it caused a huge sensation on the entire treasure island.

In the first week of release, it directly received 50 million Taiwan dollars. Equivalent to 10 million RMB! Directly to the second place in the Taiwan box office list! Crazy for countless people!!

In the second week, as the publicity campaign of the local distribution company intensified, countless high school and college students flocked to the movie theater to watch the movie.

After the movie came out. Most of the girls were moved to tears, and the boys were even more fascinated by Shen Jiayi's fresh and refined Shen Jiayi.

"I love Ke Jingteng and Shen Jiayi!"

Week 2. Continuing the madness of the first week, it swept the entire film market in Taiwan. Ascended to the top of the weekly box office list and won 70 million Taiwan dollars!!

The entire Taiwanese market has exclaimed that mainlanders have beaten Taiwanese movies with Taiwanese stories. But those who like it still like it. Curious people still flock to the cinemas, and after they come out, they continue to praise them.

The release continues to be popular, and Star Entertainment and Taiwanese distributors are so happy that they can't find the north!!

Subsequently, Taiwan began to set off a storm of 'looking for people'.

They effortlessly found Jingcheng Middle School, the school of "Those Years", through the plot of the movie, and then the crazy people fleshed the 'Ke Jingteng' who existed in reality.

In the end, they really found the realistic version of Ke Jingteng and Shen Jiayi, the same school, also called Ke Jingteng, the female is not called Shen Jiayi but Shen Jiayi, but what disappointed them was that Ke Jingteng was just a naughty student, skipping class all day, and then being scolded by the teacher.

And although Shen Jiayi is a good student and looks good, she still expresses disdain for Ke Jingteng.

There are also the same Xie Minghe, Cao Guosheng, Xu Bochun, Liao Yinghong, Hu Jiawei......

Surprisingly unified, but they all have one biggest problem: "None of them have matured yet!" ”

"I want to see Ke Jingteng who grew up, not !! little kid"

"Pit daddy, !!"

All the audience kept coming up with all kinds of complaints.

And the real-life version of Ke Jingteng and Shen Jiayi also ran to the cinema to watch it curiously, but while they were moved to tears, they also expressed their disdain for each other: "Just him/her? Hum!! ”

However, many classmates joked with them: "Ke Jingteng, Shen Jiayi, you must be together in the future." ”

It made the two of them both blush and a little strange.

As for Hu Jiawei's achievements in the movie in the future, many students are coaxing: "Great painter, you must persevere!" ”

With the popularity of the movie, the novel "Those Years" was also dug up, and it achieved extremely terrifying sales results in Taiwan, selling 2 million copies that shocked everyone's attention in just one week!

The person who bought the novel suddenly found that the description in the novel was more detailed, and it was very consistent with the grass and trees in Jingcheng Middle School. And found realistic prototypes for the characters in the novel one by one.

The name and personality are a little surprising. Everything else fits amazingly.

Is it a prophecy? Or is it a miracle of a series of coincidences coming together? All of them are very curious about the 'storyteller' mentioned in the novel: "Who is he?" ”

But they can all be sure that Wang Shang is a pure mainlander. It is impossible to know so much about Taiwan.

Just because of this very magical coincident, "Those Years" became even more popular in Taiwan, and it is simply a box office myth when it was released!!

In the third week, the box office was even more ferocious, directly winning 80 million Taiwan dollars, equivalent to 18 million yuan!!

The whole of Taiwan is staging a storm of "Those Years"!!

Ke Zhendong, Shen Yao, and Wang Shang have also become fans of many teenagers. And many schools and TV stations wanted to invite Wang Shang to Taiwan as a guest or interview, but they were politely rejected by Tianwang Studio.

The release of "Those Years" in Taiwan lasted until April, and the total box office rose directly to 410 million Taiwan dollars, equivalent to 85 million yuan, directly topping the box office champion in Taiwan's Chinese film history!!

As soon as the news came out. Immediately, the entire island of Taiwan was shaken three times, and it was a sensation!!

The record has been broken!!

This terrifying result simply made Star Entertainment Distribution and Taiwan's distribution company so happy that they couldn't sleep for three days.

When Wang Shang received the call, he was stunned, but he was quickly relieved: in "Cape Seven" and "Saidek. Before Balai (above) appeared, it could indeed be the box office champion.

After Taiwan's box office results came out, the 'global' box office results of "Those Years" released in theaters finally came to fruition.

540 million were released in mainland China, 85 million in Taiwan, and 30 million in Southeast Asia, Japan, South Korea and other regions.

The total box office is 655 million RMB!!

When Tianwang Studio hung up this total box office result, it once again caused a sensation in the entire Chinese entertainment circle.

"Paralysis!! Can this guy be low-key? ”

"Why is Taiwan so terrifying?? Isn't it that scary for our movies to be released there? ”

"I heard that I found the prototype of the character in Taiwan. Even the name is exactly the same, and the school is also called Jingcheng Middle School, but they are all children, and they haven't matured yet. ”

"It seems that the gimmick of that novel is not fake. But why did the protagonist become a child? ”

"Could that narrator be the father, mother, or relative of those young people?"

"Is it a prophecy or a coincidence?"

When this problem gradually intensified, all the media found a question: "What about Wang Shang??" Where did it go? I haven't shown up in two months. ”

Wang Shang was traveling with his parents on Hainan Island at this time.

In spring, the warbler flies and the grass grows. It is the most beautiful time of the year in Hainan. When the north is still cold in spring, Hainan is already sunny and warm. The smell of the ocean is strong, and it is a great time to travel.

Since "The Legend of Zhen Huan". Except for the Spring Festival, Wang Shang did not accompany his parents well at other times. Now the work of "Those Years" is basically operated by the distribution company, and everything that needs to be worried can be handed over to the general manager Bi Han to be injured.

Now Wang Shang can finally spare time to accompany his parents.

However, while traveling, Wang Shang is also slowly conceiving the plot of "The Grim Reaper is Coming". Wang Shang didn't want to completely copy the plot of the original movie, but wanted to think about it himself, so as not to use his brain for a long time and lead to a decline in screenwriting ability.

In this way, I accompanied my parents to play around Hainan during the day, and fought at night, slowly combing the script, which lasted for a month and a half.

During this time, Wang Shang can be regarded as enjoying the kind of carefree, happy play, and then work as an alternative way to relax. It's been so busy for the past two years that I don't know what a vacation is.

Because he shaved off his beard, it was different from his image to the public, so no one recognized Wang Shang.

In mid-April, Wang Shang and his satisfied parents returned to the magic capital. (To be continued......)
