Chapter 155: Going Crazy! (2-in-1)
Media reporters are going crazy!
On the third day of the premiere of "The Silence of the Lambs", another murderer "came to the door" after watching the movie, which shocked the media and the public even more!
- This female criminal who surrendered is called Lin Qing.
Unlike Du Ying, whose identity was unknown before he turned himself in, Lin Qing was locked by the police soon after the crime, and was even preparing to issue a wanted warrant.
But even so, within a few days in a row, two real serial killers popped up, which was enough to shock the people of the whole country.
As for the journalists, they feel that Carnival has arrived!
It's hard for you to imagine how many second- and third-rate reporters who make a living by making up stories on weekdays, and at this moment they are sincerely thanking Wang Wei for making this movie and providing them with a lot of material.
If nothing else, the story of the murderer itself alone is newsworthy enough!
For example, Lin Qing, she just turned herself in on the front foot, and the media on the back foot dug up the ins and outs of her crime.
Her crime doesn't sound as terrifying as the ogre Du Ying, and it's even a little embarrassing-
Because of her unpretentious "pursuit" of her boss at work, she was repeatedly pressured and not allowed to be promoted;
On a business trip on the eve of preparing to change jobs, she was asked to accompany a client to drink, and she was going to deal with it casually, but she didn't expect that her despicable and shameless boss drugged her with the client and then violated her......
After waking up, in the face of the scumbag's pride and disdain, Lin Qing, who was completely controlled by anger, chose to let the person who hurt her pay for her life and embarked on a road of no return......
As a film critic who witnessed the whole process of his surrender, Yang Lan did not have the excitement of becoming the focus of the media, and in front of the interview camera, her eyes were slightly red-
"Just like the heroine in the movie, Ms. Lin is also a poor person, because of her gender and beauty, like a sheep trapped in a wolf pack."
"I believe she was inspired by the heroine of the movie, because the heroine has been an orphan since she was ten years old, and she was supposed to be qualified to become bad and degenerate, and she can make excuses that she became bad because there is no one to take care of her...... But the heroine didn't, not only did she not make excuses, but she firmly believed that people could be saved, and then she became stronger and stronger. ”
"Yes, Ms. Lin is on the wrong path, but she is not in the end, like the Silent Lambs, when salvation really comes, just stand still, confused, and do not run; nor did they continue to fall deeper like other criminals; She chose to turn herself in and completed her redemption in another way......"
Yang Lan's words caused an uproar.
Not only because of the embarrassment in it, but also because it clearly points out the connection behind the movie "The Silence of the Lambs" and the surrender of the serial killers.
- It's it, it's really it!
In particular, there are a few boys who proved that what she said was not a lie, and Lin Qing "realized" after watching the movie.
Of course, the fact that they were scared to cry was unfortunately dug up by reporters as an anecdote about the "surrender incident".
Because of their words, many reporters called the surrender of the two serial killers "the gift of "The Silence of the Lambs".
More media boldly said that this is not the end of the "surrender incident", but may only be the beginning, and even bet on how many human evils can be ended when this film is released - and then this issue of the newspaper was sold out in less than half a day, which is enough to see the public's interest in this topic.
What the public is interested in is naturally what the media wants to excavate.
Then, the critics are going crazy too!
"This doesn't seem to be an isolated case...... It's kind of incredible. ”
"yes, there's no way to explain that, is it?"
"Everything can be explained."
"How do you explain it?"
"If I knew, would I still have to ask you for a manuscript? When it comes to analyzing movies, you film critics are professional. ”
"Day ......"
Conversations like this happen between almost every film critic and contract editor.
Countless film critics have been slandered -
Of course, we are professional in analyzing films, and Wang Wei's film does have a lot worth talking about, such as the performances of actors that can go down in history, the narrative mode that goes deep into the subconscious, the textbook-like use of film language, and the artistic value that directly hits the roots of society......
However, analyzing the connection between the movie and the unbelievable "surrender incident", is this question TMD overclassed!?
What, you said that Yang Lan's analysis is the first way?
Is this Nima called analysis? Who doesn't know that her criteria for judging the success of a movie are - all because of the beautiful heroine, all because of the good-looking heroine, and all the credit of the heroine......
——Film critics from all walks of life are complaining in their hearts, while guessing the "connection" behind it.
- No way, the high manuscript fee is too fragrant.
As a result, from scientific psychological analysis to various opinions in the field of the occult, "demons danced" in the media.
And thanks to the blessing of the media, more audiences have been aroused by their curiosity and have flocked to the cinema.
Audiences are now not afraid of encountering serial killers, but even asking for them.
This is the story that can be talked about for a lifetime - in those years, I witnessed the story of the serial killer who turned himself in......
Naturally, the theater is going crazy too!
Of course, the high attendance is what they dream of, but this is a restricted movie!
- You, you, you, you haven't reached the legal age to watch restricted films, what's the fun?
It is important to know that a prerequisite for the implementation of a film classification system is that there must be sufficient legal awareness.
To put it more bluntly, from the theater management to the audience, they must consciously abide by "what content is shown to what people", so that the cost of implementation will be low enough.
The domestic film market is mature enough, and there is generally no problem.
But there are always some special cases.
For example, right now—
The association between "The Silence of the Lambs" and the "surrender incident" has aroused the curiosity of the whole people.
Everyone knows that teenagers, especially underage teenagers, are the most curious.
No, they began to try their best to sneak into the theater where "The Lamb" was shown, to catch a glimpse, and to pray for a living serial killer.
The theaters are all big!
Theoretically, of course, you can go in and check your ID card one by one.
However, the actual operation is difficult, and it requires a huge amount of time and personnel costs - theaters generally do not have this motivation, and they wish that the more people who enter the theater, the better!
And it is impossible to ignore it completely, otherwise if something goes wrong, their theater chain will bear considerable responsibility.
For example, what if there are teenagers who imitate crimes?
To be honest, the theater chain is both loving and afraid that a serial killer may emerge in its own theaters!
"Love" is easy to understand, this is the attention that can't be asked.
The reason for "fear" is also very simple, if the serial killer does not choose to turn himself in, but chooses to kill, then the theater will jump off the building!
- Even if there are two cases of voluntary surrender in the front, no matter how you look at it, the latter seems more normal.
This also led to the fact that the theater side saw the news of a serial killer, and their hearts were always up and down, surprised, and scary.
And if the theater side is painful and happy, another group that is almost crazy is undoubtedly only "pain"!
- The filmmakers who were released at the same time only have one sentence of "MMP" to say!
"The Silence of the Lambs" only had a decent amount of more than 20 million on the first day of release; The next day, as soon as the news of the "corpse crushing serial killer surrendered" came out, the box office soared that day, doubling to more than 45 million;
On the third day, the news continued to ferment, and the single-day box office of "The Silence of the Lambs" continued to rise, reaching more than 52 million, becoming the box office champion of the day;
The achievement of breaking 100 million yuan in three days, even after the ticket price increase, is a slightly exaggerated achievement; And on the fourth day, the news broke that a "murderer" surrendered, and you will know with your ass that today's box office will only be more exaggerated.
- I'm afraid this movie will firmly hold on to the top of the box office list!
This made the studios that released the film at the same time deeply desperate - we did nothing wrong, but we became cannon fodder for some reason.
Oh no, there's a big fool who really did something wrong!
That's right, it's "Dark Demon" from Pearl Pictures.
This thriller, which competes with "The Silence of the Lambs", is about to be released, but in the media, it is overwhelming the news of competitors; In terms of film scheduling, the theater team racked its brains to move its film schedule to competitors; In terms of audience, fans are eager to watch rival films to bump into a "serial killer......
Damn retarded!
Don't get me wrong, it's not the audience who scolds, but the production director Gao Zhongwei, who deliberately wants to move "Dark Demon" to the May 1st ring.
It is rumored that Xia Heng, the director of "Dark Demon", almost had a fight with this product.
The industry can understand Director Xia Heng's mood very well.
Other films with differentiated themes are okay to say, cannon fodder, not all cannon fodder, it's still okay to eat with a mouthful.
But "Dark Demon" is probably cannon fodder.
The point is, he sent himself to the door as cannon fodder.
——According to the grapevine, Wang Wei commented, "I have never seen someone so brave and so keen to find death!" ”
The so-called grapevine, everyone understands, the eight achievements are true.
What's more, this spitting complaint, which is not worth his life, is what Wang Wei will say when he hears it.
What's even more annoying is that their distribution department is still competing for the overseas distribution rights of "The Silence of the Lambs"!
Yes, the Big Five with overseas distribution capabilities – whether it's China Entertainment Big Five, or Hollywood Big Five – are going crazy!
Originally, the five major companies firmly grasped the line of overseas distribution network, and they stuck other second- and third-tier film companies.
- No matter how good the film is, as long as they want to go overseas to make a fortune in the global market, they will inevitably be exploited by the Big Five.
- The difference is only who is exploited and how serious it is.
Even if it is destined to be exploited, Dunhuang hopes for the lightest exploitation, and then it is deadlocked in the overseas distribution of "The Silence of the Lambs".
——Based on the lack of optimism about the overseas distribution of thrillers, most overseas distributors only agreed to buy out the overseas copyright cooperation, which is too far from Dunhuang's expectations.
This stalemate, "The Silence of the Lambs" soared into the sky.
It's not an ordinary soaring skyrocket, it's like a soaring sky with two rockets tied up and the engine stuffed with explosives!
Now even the countries on the other side of the ocean know this movie of "surrendering with a serial killer".
Even, even the police spokesmen of some countries came to make fun -
In countries such as Japan and South Korea in the Chinese-speaking cultural circle that are destined to release the film, police spokespersons in many countries have claimed that they will be ready for the release of the film;
In contrast, in countries such as North America or Europe, the media have suggested that the police introduce this film, on the grounds that "it may help them complete this year's crime-solving performance......"
Of course, in the eyes of most people, this is just an anecdote by the media, and the police in various countries are just making amusement.
But in the eyes of overseas distributors, this is the aura that can attract audiences to the cinema.
This is generally a sequel to a hit work, or an adaptation that originally had a lot of fans.
- Such a work, as long as the quality is acceptable, does not need too large-scale publicity to become a box office blockbuster.
I only smell fishy, but I haven't seen the meat, and the five major sharks can still hold on;
Now a large piece of fat is hanging on the lips, and you can eat it as long as you open your mouth, and if you don't grab it, you are sorry for the nature of carnivorous beasts.
It's good to grab it, so that Dunhuang can sit on the ground and start the price.
After urgent negotiations and consultations - everyone wanted to take advantage of the hot time period of the "surrender incident" news to make money - overseas distribution in Asia, Europe and other countries was still handed over to the domestic Chinese media; Overseas distribution in North and South America fell into the hands of Universal Studios in Hollywood.
In addition to winning the highest proportion of the share, of course, the highest proportion of the five major exploits, Dunhuang also won a right - it can send people to the local area to supervise the distribution of the film.
Although, even if someone is sent to supervise it, there is no way to do some black-box operations on overseas issuance, at least the money on the books can still be steadily recovered.
What Dunhuang attaches more importance to is to take this opportunity to explore the way to establish overseas distribution channels.
Well, it's not that China Media and Universal don't know, but-
Unlike filmmaking, which relies on talent and luck, the release of a movie is more of a game of money.
In particular, it is very difficult to set up an overseas distribution network without a large amount of money and sufficient talents.
How about letting Dunhuang follow the exploration path, it is still far from truly establishing overseas distribution channels!
However, Lao Wang obviously didn't think so.
……
"Even the heavens are helping us, what can't we do?!!"
After the release of "Lamb", Lao Wang's classmate has been in a state of excitement, as if he has eaten 20 kilograms of small blue pills.
"Even if a serial killer comes to my door now, I think I can easily kill him!"
"Calm down, Mr. Wang."
Wang Wei hurriedly appeased Lao Wang. He didn't want this thing to be so hot that he really ran out and talked, and recruited a serial killer to the door, and the fun would be great.
- Who would really believe that this thing could easily knock out a serial killer?
"Let's not recruit the serial killer to our own home, if there is any, let's go to the police station to 'report'."
"You're right."
Lao Wang took a deep breath and finally calmed down a little.
"But I have a hunch that there will be serial killers coming out in the future, and the movie "Lamb" is destined to be on the bar with serial killers."
"Uh......"
If it weren't for glancing at the system, Wang Wei would have thought that he had run into the other party's mind.
"That's right. After the serial killer turned himself in, he actually had to cooperate with the interrogation of the heroine in the movie, and the serial killer of this year was so deep in the play, I didn't expect it. ”
Shen, the heroine, and Zhenyi glanced at Wang Wei with a smile and agreed.
Wang Wei somehow felt a hair in his heart, and obediently put on a pure and good appearance of "I didn't expect it either".
Only Lao Wang, his face flushed with excitement again: "Yes, yes, yes, I also want to participate in the interrogation, a living serial killer, it's the first time I've seen it in my life!" ”
Everyone else was speechless for his excitement.
- You look like you've found a new toy, you're not afraid to bring a serial killer to your door, right?
……
hhh…… A friend named "Quilt Nest" dragged the scumbag author to death; A friend named "Kavin" probably fell in love with a scumbag author, and it was too difficult to forge ahead~~~
