Chapter 70. [Halloween Raiders]
In fact, from the shooting of "Buried Alive", "Terror Cruise" and "Ghost Record", Yi Feiyang began to promote the three plays.
Don't forget, this is America, this is Hollywood.
The depth of water in the film industry is enough to drown any big fish who wants to turn the river over.
Yi Feiyang deeply understands this principle, and he also understands that if he can't get his movie out, like a famous brand, then waiting for his Halloween season, there is only a dead end.
Yes, no doubt!
Not to mention anything else, just to say the following scenes, for Yi Feiyang, is an insurmountable mountain.
The first is the Halloween movie "Moonlight Panic 7" produced by Emperor Pictures.
Needless to say, as the longest-lived horror movie in Halloween history, the "Moonlight Panic" series is about to break the historical record and become the most dog-blooded, most dog-tailed mink, and the most "intriguing" horror movie.
The authoritative science fiction journal "sfx" in Britain has selected the most horrible films in history this year. The film "Moonlight Panic" produced in 1978 won the first place in the most horrible film, officially proclaiming its status as the king in the world of horror movies.
Steven O'Brien, editor of "sfx" magazine, said: "Moonlight Panic is the originator of the horror film type of future generations, and it is the symbolic surname work of subsequent horror films." Steven also added: "Terror The film doesn't have to be bloody. The best horror is associated with tension, atmosphere, and the feelings of the internal organs. The development of the plot is completely unexpected, and even the director may not want it. "
This low-cost horror film, shown in late 1978, changed the face of this genre. At first, many serious critics considered the film to be unnoticeable or praiseable garbage. It seems that the film has been destined to be forgotten, and the 300,000 investment is not expected to be recovered.
But a few months later, Tomallen's insightful compliment in Voice of the Country changed the film's fate. Suddenly, critics discovered many things that were not originally found in movies.
Because of the film's title, the film was often mixed with other "plasma films" and screened in immigrant cinemas in the late 1970s and early 1980s, but it has since been considered the originator of modern "dismemberment movies". The genre is divided out ... and the sequel of this series belongs to "plasma film" ... This is not an abominable action film-the film has a surprisingly few violence scenes and almost no blood. Moonlight Heart Fear is based on suspense, not blood, and inspired the mediocrity of a large number of horror thrillers, which became the target of plagiarism in countless serial murder films.
Just because of that, this Minister 's Life 's "Moonlight and Panic" has so far produced six sisters, with a total box office of more than 300 million US dollars. It has been prosperous for two decades and has made this year 's Halloween file " The cold-blooded killer wearing a white mask is back.
Immediately next to "Moonlight Panic 7", the eye-catching horror film is "The Scream 2" produced by Miramax Films.
Sequel, see also sequel.
Undoubtedly, "Scream of Shock", which was born in 1996, is a masterpiece of youth horror films. While using horror modes, the film is constantly ridiculing these modes. Horror jokes abound in the film.
Despite the plot idea, "Scream of Shock" still hasn't gotten rid of the old system of serial killers of abnormal killers. But this has become a major feature of thrillers, and it is understandable. It is like a psychological horror movie. It puts the audience in a confusing suspense from beginning to end, and even ingenious. In the film, it uses the horror plot rules summarized by the actor itself to increase the atmosphere of horror and thrill. When college students were sitting around watching horror movies, and the killers were really killing people just as they said, the audience 's nervousness was immediately triggered.
If that's the case, "Scream of Shock" can only be said to be an entertainment movie that can be seen, but in fact it does not play the role of ordinary horror movies. It is as simple as pursuing a sense of stimulation. . For crime, the words often used are its motivations. Why criminals kill people always has a certain purpose, but this film will undoubtedly surprise the audience. One of the two murderers had a reluctant reason, and the other was simply unmotivated.
As college students, their education cannot be said to be inadequate, but they just imitate the horror movie method, in order to pursue a kind of excitement and novelty, and kill people for no purpose. They designed ingenious and deceptive traps to make them impeccable; they used intelligence and brutal violence to treat killings as a form of entertainment; their spirits were distorted and perverted. All this made the audience trembling and thought-provoking.
Now that Halloween is here, "Scream of Scream 2" is freshly released, and the grimace killer once again shines on the big screen. The box office is waiting for everyone to watch.
Halloween's New Year's Eve, ranked third, and people's attention is "Ghost Baby Back to Soul 4" created by Italian bim film company.
It is said that since "Ghost Girl's Return to the Soul" first appeared on the big screen in 1988, it has intimidated countless audiences on the big screen. Who could have imagined that the innocent and lovable toy hides a perverted and murderous evil soul, and the image of Chaqi's possessed doll quickly became the spokesperson of the demon. The child boy Chaqi won a huge success with a combination of naive and horror. The film earned 40 million US dollars that year, and Chaqi became a well-deserved horror star. Since then, several other movies in this series have been filmed and released, and all have achieved good box office results.
In fact, the series of ghost baby films should have their place in horror movies. The idea alone is enough to shock. Even if you don't watch the movie, usually seeing the abandoned doll will cause some inexplicable fear, not to mention the movie. This scary face with a scared face, always with an evil smirk. Now "Ghost Doll 4" reopened, this horrible doll is bound to bloodwash Halloween again.
These three ghost films alone are enough to smash Hollywood Halloween files and become the box office overlord.
And Yi Feiyang's deadly opponent, Dennis and Eduardo, with the support of Lionsgate Films, filmed the so-called "Witch Blair 2", which is about to be released on Halloween.
If you look closely, you will find that the above studios belong to the Hollywood Intermediate Studios.
That's right, these unsuccessful movie companies have become the protagonists of Halloween, and the movies produced by the big movie companies will not get together here, because their aim is stronger than Halloween. Dozens of times of Christmas.
Because of this, big movie companies such as MGM and Fox have almost no new releases on Halloween, giving Emperor Gate Pictures, Lions Gate Pictures, and the stage where film companies such as Miramax and Bim compete.
These are not very well-known film companies, although the strength can not compare with the big names like MGM and Fox, but each of them has its own brand Halloween project ... Didn't see that the shooting is basically a sequel? These films already have a fixed audience. If you put more effort into publicity, there will no doubt be a peak in viewing.
For this reason, the recently popular Lionsgate Films, this time in order to start the second shot of "Witches", it is said that the previous publicity budget has also reached 3 million US dollars. Not to mention the other three companies, they spare no effort to push for their upcoming movies.
Throughout the period, newspapers and magazines in North America, as well as major television stations, news media, and front page headlines took turns, almost all of them were publicity ads for their films.
"Kill a bloody path! What to watch for Halloween? Just watch" Moonlight Panic 7 "!"
"The Ghost Baby is back to the soul," Ghost Baby Bride "will make you split your heart!"
"Halloween makes you scream again. To be scary, just watch" Scream 2 "!"
"The Witch is back! Stay tuned for Witch Blair 2!"
...
In the variety entertainment programs of major TV stations, these decisive battle Halloween movies, their wonderful clips and tidbits, rolling in turns.
Under such a powerful offensive, low-cost films like Yi Feiyang have undoubtedly become the cannon fodder of many critics.
"Yes, we are not very optimistic about the three horror films shot by China Yi, not only because these three plays were not famous before, not a sequel, or the second sequel, and more importantly, investment. These three plays are all low-cost small productions. Of course, after the baptism of "The Witch", which is easy to make in China, we will not easily look down on such small production movies. As long as it is a film made by China Yi, it will definitely create a miracle and become a dark horse! Unless he is not China Yi, but magical Yi, or magician Yi! "
--- Reviewer article in Time Magazine, Los Angeles, USA.
"Obviously, this Halloween season is the world of sequel movies. As long as people with eyes can see it, everyone is 'frying cold rice' and 'selling old goods'. The most conspicuous is the Moonlight Panic series. Yeah, this is the seventh one! In contrast, there are already a few horror films with a fixed audience group. Three easy-to-shoot movies made by China will undoubtedly become cannon fodder for this period. How to say this, it will be 'dead eyes'! "
--- Los Angeles "Weekly Entertainment" weekly reviewer article.
"We don't want to use too many predictions to guess the strength of the upcoming Halloween stalls. We just want to say that from the perspective of publicity, whether it is" Moonlight, "" Scream "or" Ghost Baby, "the previous period is A lot of publicity has been invested, and even "Witch 2" has also invested 3 million US dollars in advertising costs! In contrast, what did China Yixin 's dream film industry do? Poor newcomer, new drama, new company ... ... waiting for them may be the bottom fate! "
--- Los Angeles "Entertainment Shinkansen" reviewer article.
...
But when all the media thought that China was easy ... Yi Feiyang would use the silence and indifference to treat the Halloween promotion, a short and concise "Haunted House Record" was published on the entertainment newspaper.
This article, like a sharp awl, broke through the blockade of the four horror films of Halloween in newspapers and magazines, occupying a small space and appeared in front of everyone.
October 21, 1998.
"Haunted House" ...
"The United States has always been full of mysterious haunted house legends, as far as the Adelaide Haunted House and as close as the Villa Sloland; but this time I want to introduce you to the 'burial place' in a wilderness area in eastern California. Why? This haunted house would be called such a terrible name, because there is a terrible legend here ... Saying that, there was a Mexican drug lord who sneaked into the United States ... After his death, he hid the US dollars in his head and his own body. It just disappeared into this weird house for no reason. "
"This time, China Yi was unabashed ... I heard that their Chinese people are very respectful of ghosts and gods ... Leasing this ghostly old building to shoot" Ghost Record "can't help making me wonder how they are Did it happen ?! "
...
Although Inger, a journalist, did not take Yi Feiyang's "Ghost Record" as the focus of this article, but indirectly, through the ghost stories he reported, people were even more curious. What kind of miracles and effects can there be in ghost drama? !!
What is called "semi-covered"?
What is "hiding"?
What does it mean to "seduce you without negotiating"? !!
Americans are also very interesting, especially for this ghost drama full of topical surnames.
"What exactly is China Yi's Ghost Shadow Record?"
"We are curious about China Yi's new drama. I heard that there are three of them coming, haha, I have to watch this time!"
"Wait, we're curious what China Yi's new drama looks like, is it a ghost movie?" Terror Cruise "," Buried Alive "," Ghost Record ", ha, it's quite special to hear the name!"
...
No doubt, Yi Feiyang touched the hearts of many audiences with "newness".
Mother, don't you rely on the old and sell the old? What a sequel, then I'll give you three new plays to make your eyes open!
I have to say that Yi Feiyang is very cunning, very proficient, and also knows how to use people's mentality of "loving the new and hating the old".
Yes, there is a stable audience for the sequel, but for the audience, the new drama is more attractive.
With the news of Inger's "Inadvertently Inserting Willows" haunted house news, there was a short wave in Hollywood immediately, at least, Yi Feiyang returned to everyone's sight, and people have not forgotten him.
Of course, with such a report alone, it is impossible to stir up the three dramas of Yi Feiyang. The investment is too small and there is nothing bright.
However, Yi Feiyang is not in a hurry, because in his opinion, instead of facing many high-profile publicity movies with the pressure now, it is better to avoid their sharp edges. After the movie is released, the opponent 's public opinion will fall, and then make calculations. .
In one word: forbearance.
This is Yi Feiyang's strategy and part of his decisive Halloween plan.
"Look, the back will be more exciting!" Yi Feiyang vowed.
But from the perspective of Bunny Bill and Fat Jack, the propaganda is not enough.
Anyway, Yi Feiyang told them that I still have two great tricks that I haven't used. By then, you will see great things!
stunt?
What stunt?
Is there any other trick in Boss Yi that can make these three plays burst out? !!
Oh shit, I can't guess him!
(This festival says I will spend my time with the mother in the hospital, but I still wish you a Merry Christmas!)
