Chapter 55: I Am the King of Killing Ghosts
The 20-day extension of the release has brought a total of more than 110 million viewers, which is an excellent achievement.
Although the Eastern world alone has a total population of more than 30 billion, not counting those who live in the cave and the blessed land.
Even though it doesn't cost money to watch movies, you can still earn money.
But there are really not many movies that exceed 100 million first-time moviegoers every year.
After the movie is released, it is just waiting for the illusion to be generated.
It is not necessary that the number of moviegoers is high, and the illusion will be generated.
It also depends on whether the movie brings people to think, makes people feel something different, and even keeps reminiscing and reminiscing.
If you only talk about the number of moviegoers, then find a few fairy-like beauties and shoot a few fairies vs. orcs or something, as long as it can be released in theaters, wouldn't it be a proper explosion of moviegoers?
Can that thing generate illusions?
Ironclad no.
The basic conditions for generating illusions in this type of movie are to have a very good script, as well as the actors' extraordinarily dedicated and real acting skills.
Even if it is a visual sensory stimulation, there will be no lack of afterthought and reminiscence.
Yang Shou's luck is very good, and the difference of the Peace Hotel makes it successfully stand out.
The 'culture' and 'background' based on another world are regarded as part of the film's creation, and many people can't help but recall, reflect, and even rewatch it again and again, find new discoveries from it, and then rejoice.
In addition, Yang Shou has gradually been labeled as a 'god' in the hearts of many fans.
Through a movie, to refract a completely different civilization, such a thing is not something that no one has ever done.
But those are all masters in the industry, and they are also high-level monks who can calculate and play tricks.
Yang Shou single-handedly used the side of the movie to feedback the world civilization, which is amazing.
Of course, some people feel that Yang Shou is cheating.
Because the civilization reflected on his side is more like a weakened version of reality, it is not original at all, and it is still a lot, much worse than the level of the real industry masters.
Those viewers who originally came for 'Nie Xiaoqian's long legs no longer just focused on the boring thing of what kind of beauty Yang Shou has changed.
Instead, they really started to discuss the plot seriously.
So much so that in the comment area of Yang Shou's movie, the number of normal discussions has increased slightly.
"I have to say, this time Yang Shou... is a little handsome, and I can't help but want to fan him. A netizen named Evergreen 1040 left a message in the movie review office.
Such as the glory of the night, the medicine ghost, the poetry and wine painting Hua Nian, these old sunspots, once again spontaneously formed a long line: "Calm down, that's Yang Shou!" ”
At this time, Yang Shou was not watching movie reviews.
Instead, he felt the vague generation of the illusion, and had a special indescribable resonance with him.
Although it was the second time, Yang Shou still felt new to this feeling.
And full of desire to explore.
"This fantasy is much bigger than the last time, not only the worldview it has built, but also the difference in the number of moviegoers."
"More than 110 million moviegoers have gathered a huge amount of special telekinesis that forms an illusion in the void." Yang Shou closed his eyes and waited for the creation of the illusion and the summoning from the illusion.
In the next room, there was a strange sound from a designer who had never met before.
The popularity of the movie has also formed a wave of firearms craze.
Throughout the Eastern World, there are many people who are looking for the kind of powerful firearms that can shoot bullets.
Tian Qiguang took the opportunity to launch the four firearms that appeared in the movie, namely "Kiss of Death", "War Wail", "Frozen and Frozen" and "The Burner", and also launched the old and damaged version of the war by the way, which obviously looks more tattered, but the price is three times that of the original, which can be described as a true portrayal of black-hearted capitalists.
But it's still the same as always... This kind of pricing is for the rich.
Those who don't have money can't even afford the regular version, let alone the battle-damaged version.
Of course, there are also many companies that produce affordable instruments that have begun to follow suit.
They began to work on more 'simple' firearms, and then launched them on the market as soon as possible.
The investment of these capital predators can be regarded as bringing huge profits to Yang Shou.
With the help of the patent office, almost every bullet on the market will have a share of Yang Shou's profit.
From this point of view, even if it is Yang Shou's movie, it can't be a fantasy... That's definitely not a loss.
"It's done!" Yang Shou raised his head suddenly.
This time, the speed of the illusion generation is much faster than the last time.
"Is it because there are more viewers?"
Yang Shou did not resist the call of the illusion, and the whole person 'infiltrated' into the void and entered the newly generated illusion.
After almost the crossing process, Yang Shou came back to his senses and accepted the strange and familiar memories.
This memory is not only mixed with a lot of fighting and violence, but also a pathos that is so thick that it can't be dissolved.
He is the Ghost Slayer, a demon hunter who used to hunt ghosts and demons for a living.
Ten years ago, he went crazy because his wife died tragically under the revenge of the ghost.
One person, one knife, four robbers, and killed the nest of ten thousand ghosts.
More than 200 evil ghosts died under his sword and spear.
In the end, he left with the banner of the Nest of Ten Thousand Ghosts, and set up the tattered flag at the door of a hotel, setting up the flag as a guard, and demarcating the territory with a horizontal knife.
Since then, the hotel has been renamed the Peace Hotel.
No one or any ghost is allowed to have conflicts or quarrels when they come here.
If you have any grudges, once you enter the Peace Hotel, you need to let go.
If there is a problem, it will be solved when you leave the hotel.
An idealist in the chaotic world, this is Yang Shou's evaluation of the Ghost Slaying King.
But now, this idealist is Yang Shou himself.
Shaving his beard with a razor, Yang Shou carried the knife on his shoulder, and hid the most commonly used firearm at his waist... Kiss of Death, sat down in the daily sitting position, quietly drinking the cocktail concocted by the bartender.
Because of the huge change in the direction of the theme and the original, the whole movie is very different from the 'original' in Yang Shou's memory in terms of details.
It can only be said that in general, some of the original storylines have been retained.
Today, he is waiting for someone, a courtesan played by Wang Zuxian, who will escape into the hotel in the near future.
She is now the ghost king of the Ten Thousand Ghost Nest, in order to kill the ghost king... That is, the trap set by Yang Shou.
The ghost king wants Yang Shou to break his promise, participate in and interfere in grievances in the Peace Hotel, and then walk out of the Peace Hotel.
Because when many people and ghosts thought that it was the 'Ghost Killer King' who was protecting the Peace Hotel and the guests inside, the new Ghost King saw through the truth.
It is the Peace Hotel that protects the 'Ghost Slayer'.
It's like a special protective shell that protects the enemies of many ghosts, the 'Ghost Slayer'.
While the Peace Hotel is always performing its functions and has its existential value, anyone who wants to kill the 'Demon Slayer King' or oni will become an enemy of more people and demons.
