Originally a small-budget movie but many actors tortured to collapse, Lin Jiaxin personally lived in a mental hospital, Zhang Guorong jumped to his death after a year of filming, and the life bridge was extremely similar to the movie, the original film that the producer was not very optimistic about became a hot topic, and even some people still dare not watch.
Hello everyone, welcome to the shimmer screening hall, I am the projectionist Wang Changxi, today we come together into my brother's posthumous work "Different Degree Space", together to explore the wonderful story in front of and behind the scenes of this movie.
In recent years, domestic horror films have emerged in an endless stream, but in the final analysis, they are all fantasies or psychosis, and domestic horror films almost all have similar fixed collocations, such as similar titles, almost plots, completely unknown actors, unknown directors, beautiful women with long legs on the screen, and then followed by those embarrassing acting skills and those low-level pornographic plots, etc., and these films are invariably crowned with the title of bad films, and even major video websites are also full of such films. But what you don't know is that such a bad film has a group of people who are happy to shoot it.
In recent years, according to box office statistics, in the tens of millions of box office films, domestic horror films account for about one-third of the share, from 2013 to 2017 there are 153 horror films released, and the box office of more than 10 million is only 30, after so many years of torture, the audience can gradually begin to distinguish them, the title of domestic horror films the most favorite to use is the "trick" word, a "weird" word fully reflects the essence of small-cost horror films, From 2013 to 2018, there were 22 horror movies with the word "trick", such as "Tricky Eye", "Tricky Well", "Tricky Bride" and so on.
In addition to the word "trick", with the word "spirit" reached 22, such as "Wraith", "Gate of the Evil Spirit", "Ghost Hospital", etc., in addition to these two words, the other more are immortal, night, soul, horror, shock, murder, spell, etc., when some producers found this law, and even madly put many big IP words together, such as "Disc Fairy 2 Weird", "Nightclub Trick Talk", "Strange Dream Bell", etc., and the reason why this small-cost horror film is filmed tirelessly is mainly driven by interests Such a film shooting and publicity is about 2 million, or even lower, but it can almost be returned to the cost when it is released in theaters, and then sell the copyright to the video platform, which can almost be said to be a steady profit.
And the audience is also slowly familiar with the routine of this kind of movie, although the first half is still quite scary, but basically are dreams or mental illness, after watching it will feel very cool, so some viewers will still go to buy it, and the era of early horror films has passed, now the three words of "horror film" are basically new directors to practice, but the same plot of a film is still afraid to watch, the film is full of fantasy, dreaming, mental illness and other factors, but people who have seen it will have spine chills in retrospect. This is the posthumous work of his brother Zhang Guorong, "Alien Space".
"Heterogeneous Space" mainly tells the heroine Zhang Xin's parents divorced and abandoned her, resulting in her lack of love since childhood, eager to be loved, but as if fate made people, she has never been able to get love, which led to her mental illness, and even can see ghosts, and then she met the famous psychologist Luo Benliang under the introduction of her brother-in-law, and had a good feeling in the treatment, Dr. Luo untied her heart knot for many years by finding Zhang Xin's parents, cured her heart disease, but at this time Zhang Xin unexpectedly found that this Luo Doctor was the same as himself. Not only sleepwalking can even see ghosts, and finally Robben Liang was haunted by female ghosts, almost collapsed and almost jumped off the building to commit suicide, such a plot, seems to be very similar to the plot of today's domestic horror films, but it is such a originator-like divine drama that makes many viewers see the psychological shadow.
But the original director Luo Zhiliang received such a theme is also a headache, he and Er Dongsheng discussed for a long time to formulate the script, but both of them are not optimistic about this play, the main reason is that there is no ghost in the ghost film, "Alien Space" is different from the previous horror movies, this movie mainly emphasizes that ghosts do not exist in this world, and at the beginning of the movie, the psychologist played by Zhang Guorong told us that ghosts are actually the natural reactions produced after the information about ghosts in the outside world is transmitted to our brains. That is to say, after we receive the information of the ghost, its appearance, cause of death, gender and other information will be absorbed by the brain, and then fantasize about the horror picture, but such a plot is separated from the main line of the previous horror films, such as the previous fire of "Mountain Village Old Corpse", "Yin and Yang Road", etc., even the funny theme of the ghost film is a ghost, such as "Happy Ghost Series", "Night of the Ghost", etc., so this kind of psychiatric fantasy theme of the horror film is indeed somewhat unusual.
And such a theme to find actors is also difficult to choose, fortunately the director met the superb acting skills of Zhang Guorong and what type of dare to try Lin Jiaxin, the film can start shooting as scheduled, in order to play this role, Zhang Guorong specially went to visit the psychologist, seriously study and observe the doctor's daily life, and Lin Jiaxin is much more miserable, she was directly thrown to the mental hospital by the director, through actual contact to show the details of the mental patient, the reason why this film is terrible, not only due to the film's oppressive atmosphere, More is actually the actor's acting skills are all online, and even when watching, they forget that they are actors.
In the first half of the film, Zhang Guorong is a polite psychiatrist, but the second half of the period is transformed into a mental patient, this huge contrast is difficult to control without superb acting skills, and Zhang Guorong relies on his unique acting skills to truly show the helplessness of a sleepwalking patient, when sleepwalking, his sluggish eyes are distracted, but he can shed sad tears, and after the alarm clock sounds, the expression instantly changes from sadness to dazedness, and then his eyes look down to see the memories full of the ground, and then fall into collapse again. While crying, the scarlet eyes and nervous and frightened muscles twitched, and every detail showed the state of mind at this time like the abyss.
Although the ghosts in this movie are the fantasies of patients, but can let the audience have an immersive feeling, and just 360 days after the release of the movie, Zhang Guorong seems to jump from a tall building and die young as the plot in the movie, after which many netizens suspect that this play led to the death of his brother, worried that his brother entered the play too deeply and did not come out, but the director later clarified the matter, he said that Zhang Guorong is a very professional actor, entering the play and out of the play very quickly, this is not the cause of his death, but then overwhelming public opinion like an explosion of the pot, What is haunted by ghosts, emotional unhappiness, or because of the abandonment of old love guilt, etc. ~ but in fact, the real reason is major depression.
According to the brother's agent, on April 1 of the same day, the two were originally scheduled to drink coffee together, but the brother did not arrive, the agent waited outside the door, but did not think but witnessed Zhang Guorong smashing to the ground, and the brother has suffered from depression before, but in recent years more and more serious, these two years Zhang Guorong was tortured by depression, and even never smoked He also began to smoke, although many netizens have speculated that the death of his brother is related to the movie, but in fact, this is just a coincidence, it is revealed that Zhang Guorong has asked Mo Huabing before, If you were very ill and there was no cure for you? Mo Huabing said: "I will take sleeping pills, so that the family finds out that they are still saved", but the brother's answer is: "No, the most direct way is to jump off the building."
It seems that Zhang Guorong has already thought of this method before, and he just hopes that he does not have to burden others, but he does not want to live like a puppet, once said, you are not afraid of what you are afraid of when you die? In fact, many depressed patients, afraid of living, in the end this box office 3.24 million movie has become a classic that no one can surpass, and the movie mainly tells us: when saving others, in fact, the biggest enemy is the heart demon, the heart demon still has to rely on themselves to overcome, even if there are thousands of hardships in life, only after tasting the pain can be exchanged for sweetness.
