Just when the release of "Death is Coming" in North America was spreading in China, Wang Shang had already sent the second version of the film to Datang International, and Datang International was responsible for distribution.

Datang International soon sent the film to the Radio and Television Bureau for distribution review.

Last year, due to the struggle with the theater chain, the box office revenue of the producer alliance was really worse than the year before, and this year, the theater chain has begun to gradually calm down its anger, and it should no longer do things that harm others and themselves.

The approval speed of the Bureau of Radio, Film and Television was very fast, and on the fourth day, Datang International got the approval documents for the distribution license of "The Grim Reaper". As for the grading, it is still necessary to wait for the final version to be determined.

Unsurprisingly, "The Grim Reaper" should be R-rated (under the age of 17 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian to watch) - this level of film contains adult content, which contains more **, violence, drug use and other scenes and swear words.

At this time, it was December 1st.

The Chinese New Year stalls in China have become more and more popular, and box office tragicomedy is being staged every day.

For example, the horror film "Ghost Well", which was released on November 15. On the first day of release, he was besieged by countless horror film fans and scolded garbage, and the famous horror film director Jiang Shi was even more scolded.

Its attendance on the second and third days fell unabated, no one watched it at all, and the empty theater seemed to be staged in an empty city and ghost domain.

On the fourth day of this movie, it was drowned in countless saliva, and then he received the ruby God of War card and flew to the sky~~

There are movies that hit the streets, and there are also movies that are unexpectedly popular, "Hands Up", an anti-Japanese comedy that was not very optimistic. After the first day. It was well received, although the plot was average, but it was full of jokes, causing countless people to laugh.

Many fans have become fans of the movie after watching it. Countless fans praised it that night.

From the third day. Attendance began to rise slightly and unexpectedly. has reached the level of 70%, which makes countless production companies, directors, and screenwriters envious and jealous.

Countless media exclaimed: "Social pressure is gradually increasing, and the future of hilarious comedy is bright!" ”

There are a few other movies as well. There are mixed feelings at the box office, but it is certain that the popularity of this year's Spring Festival stalls is a little hotter than last year. Perhaps because people's living standards have improved, more people have begun to yearn for a higher quality of life, and cinemas have become one of the consumption directions.

Due to the slow post-production of "The Grim Reaper" and the need to return to China for further actor dubbing, the release of "The Grim Reaper" will be postponed to January, that is, before the Spring Festival.

And "The Grim Reaper is Coming" as a thriller category, although it can be released in the Lunar New Year file, it is estimated that the box office will not reach the madness of "Those Years".

And the most watched movie in this year's Spring Festival file is "Infernal Affairs 2", which is the sequel to "Infernal Affairs", which achieved crazy box office results last year.

The promotion of "The Grim Reaper is Coming" has been in full swing, and the major websites have already hung up promotional advertisements under the money offensive of Tianwang Studio, and in reality, promotional advertisements have been hung up in the central cities of various provinces.

In addition to the same set of billboards and online promotions from last year, there are new tricks this year.

On December 13, 2003, Tianwang Studio announced a message on its official website: "Do you want to experience the thrill of death and control the life and death of the protagonist?" Let's play the game of the same name as "The Grim Reaper"!! ”

"The game is divided into three levels and thirty levels, with ten levels in each level, and the difficulty gradually progresses. In the first level of ten levels, there will be ten lethal factors, allowing players to design death, as long as they find the right method, they can use more than 8 of them to cause death. The second level of the ten levels will have 15 lethal factors, and more than 13 lethal factors need to be logically connected in order to cause death...... Third, the difficulty continues to increase, please explore the specific way to break the level. ”

"The game will be an extreme test of people's logical thinking ability, and there is a slight blood, the faint and the poor enter with caution!"

After this news was announced, it immediately attracted the attention of many Grim Reaper fans.

"To be the Grim Reaper? Take control of the protagonist's death? It seems to be quite exciting. ”

"Those who are timid and less logical thinkers should enter with caution! In other words, it is played by high-IQ talents, right? I'm highly intelligent, and I like it! ”

Driven by self-esteem and curiosity, most Bleach fans can't help but click on it and want to try it out.

The game's background music is a bit scary and eerie, and in the game menu, there are two options, one is a mild gore and the other is a medium gore, and the Grim Reaper fans successfully enter the game with the instructions.

Level 1 Level 1 Level 1 Start ......

Ten minutes......

Thirty minutes......

"Holy? Why is it so hard? ”

The Grim Reaper fans scolded one after another, they couldn't find a clue at all, it was too difficult, ten fatal factors knives, electricity, ropes...... I've tried all sorts of things, but I haven't succeeded in dying.

"Oh my God, why is it so hard? It's not called a person to play!! ”

Countless similar posts continue to appear on the official website of "The Grim Reaper".

After another half an hour, a flashing red pinned post appeared: "The game strategy for the first level and the first level!" "The name of the person who published it is the Supreme Grim Reaper.

At this time, the Grim Reaper fans who had been holding back for an hour quickly rushed in, and after reading the strategy: "Damn, it turns out that you can play like this!" How did I not expect that!! ”

This strategy post seems to have opened a door for them, and it suddenly opened up.

With the guidance of the raiders. The first level of the first level has finally been broken.

"It's easy. In the next level, I definitely don't look at the strategy, and if I look at the strategy, I don't seem to have a low IQ. ”

As a result, the Grim Reaper fans hit a wall again, and they hit their heads and blood, and they were full of meat and vegetables. I didn't break this second level for an hour.

At this time, the Supreme Grim Reaper posted another post saying: "The second level has been broken, and the screenshot of the third level is as follows, the strategy is not sent, everyone works hard!" ”

This post naturally attracted the anger of countless people.

It wasn't until seven or eight o'clock that night that dozens of people broke through the second level of the first level. Successfully enter the third level. After their success. showed off his achievements with a large screenshot, and at the same time quoted the official sentence "Those with poor logical thinking should enter cautiously!" ", which makes many Death fans who are racking their brains hate itchy.

These questions are really difficult, and it is really difficult to solve them purely by mental power if they are not made into a professional analysis map. Tianwang Studio also used the strength of the team to design these game levels. I wanted it to be easier. But in the end, Bihan still considered making it difficult.

And what happened next proved that Bihan was right. At the same time, it also proves the saying: 'People are really cheap sometimes!' ’

The higher the difficulty. The more hilarious the fans, the more they feel like 'the game has abused me thousands of times, and I treat the game like my first love'.

The next day. The game "Grim Reaper" began to spread widely across the country.

"The hardest game ever! Extremely test people's logical ability!! ”

"If you're not smart, don't play so as not to hurt your self-esteem!"

"Those who look at the strategy are weak!"

"Tip: Turn off the sound, it won't be so scary."

There is a saying among people who go to school, go to work, and all walks of life: "Do you want to see who has the best logical thinking?" Play Death is Coming, it's a game that no fool can play. ”

"Xiao Ming, let's play "The Grim Reaper", right? Let's see if you're good or I'm good. ”

In order to prove that they are good, several people start playing this game in groups and see who clears the level first.

Among these people, many people have never heard of "The Grim Reaper", or they don't pay much attention to it. But now that I have the challenge of my colleagues and classmates, wouldn't it mean that I am stupid if I don't take on the battle? How does this work?

So, under being forced by the challenge, I also started to play.

Originally, this kind of bloody horror game could not have such a wide audience, but Tianwang Studio took this into account when making the game, and specially set up a mild bloody mode, and the bloodiness and music horror will become slight, so most adults can still accept this level of horror.

As the game "Death is Coming" continues to be promoted, "Death is Coming" has penetrated into all corners of society in a faster way than other publicity methods, and has quickly gained countless fans, almost catching up with the madness of "everyone stealing vegetables" in the previous time and space.

This kind of alternative publicity, combined with real publicity and online promotion, has made countless people know the movie version of "Death is Coming".

"It turns out that there is a movie version of "The Grim Reaper"? This game is good, I don't know how the movie is, maybe you can go and see it. ”

And Wang Shang is also known as the marketing master of the entertainment industry because of this creative promotion.

In the United States, with an investment of $10 million in publicity expenses, advertisements for "Death is Coming" have appeared in major cities in all states across the country.

On the Internet, Paramount's publicity is also in place, letting countless netizens know that Paramount has released a new thriller.

Subsequently, the game "Death is Coming" began to land in North America.

Paramount quickly took the game online and used the phrase 'This is the logic horror game that only smart people play!' 'Define it', and then use 'Who do you want to be smarter than your colleagues and classmates?' Let's play 'Here Comes the Grim Reaper' to stir up competitiveness among netizens.

After some hype and marketing, the game became popular throughout the United States at a faster rate than in China, and even began to spread to Mexico and Canada. Obviously, "Death is Coming" is a game that is more suitable for the people of North America.

At the end of December, Wang Shang returned to China with "The Grim Reaper".

On January 4, 2004, "The Grim Reaper Comes" finally completed its final editing.

Just when the team breathed a sigh of relief, General Manager Bi Han broke into Wang Shang's office with a look of surprise: "Wang Dong, I just received a call from Paramount in the United States, Vivendi and Ubisoft have just called Paramount to ask about the game "Death is Coming". ”

"Vivendi, Ubisoft?" Wang Shang was shocked when he heard this, "Isn't this a world-famous game company?" Do they want to get the rights to the Grim Reaper game? ”

"I guess we can take this opportunity to add publicity points to 'The Grim Reaper'." Bihan said excitedly...... (To be continued......)
