"Disappearing Her" broke 2.5 billion box office, and the tourism industry of Southeast Asian countries "shivered"
After the release of the movie "Disappearing Her", I saw this comment on the Internet:
Many people expressed fear and dismissed the idea of going to Southeast Asian countries.
There is no conclusive evidence that the movie "Disappearing Her" "destroyed" the Southeast Asian tourism industry, but at least hindered the minds of some domestic netizens who wanted to travel to Southeast Asia.
What has nothing to do with the movie is that in fact, the relevant agencies of several provinces in China have long warned citizens not to travel to Southeast Asia, and this advice should be listened to more or less for personal safety considerations.
Why do Southeast Asian countries make people love and fear?
Because of the exotic and unique culture, it always fascinates people, and because the urban grotesque legends that were popular on the Internet many years ago are often given a Southeast Asian background.
The lights are brilliant, accompanied by chaos in public order.
When Shen Man, played by Ni Ni, showed a weird smile and said: Welcome to Southeast Asia...
I'm afraid her next sentence will be: My delicate little princess
The man on the deformity show
In "Gone Her", there is a human appearance.
Although this scene only exists in Ni Ni's description, the camera describes this imaginary plot as particularly terrifying.
The couple was shopping for clothes on a street in Southeast Asia, the wife chose a skirt and entered a narrow fitting room, and when the fitting room door closed, the mechanism on the soles of her feet suddenly opened, and she instantly fell into the preset trap.
No one knows where the trap leads, except for husbands who are like headless flies, looking for their wives in the streets.
Until I went to Southeast Asian countries again a few months later, I saw a familiar face on a deformed show.
She is housed in a delicate vase, and the red background light reflects this eerie scene. Not only was Zhu Yilong scared his facial features deformed, but the audience was also shocked by this picture.
In particular, the person played by Wen Yongshan, the moment when he opened his mouth and shouted silently... My whole body was numb.
Is there anyone who has such a cruel existence?
There were records in ancient times, and legend has it to be the masterpiece of Empress Lü. Mrs. Qi had her limbs removed, copper water poured into her ears, her tongue cut off, and her eyes gouged out... It's terrifying.
However, this account is still controversial. The fact that people are placed in vases for exhibition pleasure is mostly borrowed from "harvesting and cutting", a method of deliberately disabling people for begging.
There are indeed deformity shows.
They often look for people who are born different, such as hairy twins, conjoined twins, dwarfs, etc., to satisfy the audience's curiosity.
But deliberately cutting off people's limbs and then making adult bunches, the cost is huge, not to mention, surgical experts shake their heads when they see it.
If you want to say quack, then it makes sense.
Murder on a honeymoon
Since the movie has been released for a while, everyone who wants to see it has seen it, and there should be no problem with spoilers now...
The main plot of the film is based on a real event: a Chinese pregnant woman is pushed off a cliff by her husband in Thailand
Chen Sicheng specially consulted the opinions of the parties before the shooting began in order to respect the parties.
After the movie was released, she also went to see the movie, full of emotion, it was really unbearable to look back on.
However, because the movie is not a linear narrative, many people only realize that it is a real event that happened when they see the final reversal.
Fortunately, the pregnant woman in reality was rescued by strong willpower, but the pregnant woman in the movie can only suffocate in despair under the starry sky under the sea.
Since it is adapted from reality, there is no need to wonder if there will be such a crazy person.
Why did you choose to implement the plan in Southeast Asian countries?
Because of the lack of familiarity with life, it is difficult to get effective rescue; Regulations are different and easy to exploit.
It has been mentioned many times in the movie that the disappearance time is too short to be accepted. It was even mentioned that the body would have to be seen before a case could be filed.
Disguised as a misstep, falling off a cliff, dying without proof and so on... (This reminds me of Hidden Corners)
High box office and low rating?
To travel to Southeast Asia, one person is afraid of being made an adult, and two people are afraid of being murdered by each other, which is the "sequelae" brought by the movie to everyone.
As far as the viewing experience is concerned, the sense of suspense of "Disappearing Her" is very well shaped, and the curious plot has attracted many audiences.
Therefore, the box office showed a reverse decline effect, and the box office was several times higher than the original estimate (pre-screening media predicted 7.5~980 million).
Now the real-time box office has reached 2.5 billion, and the single-day box office has exceeded 100 million for more than ten consecutive days.
Behind these good results, there is a continuous decline in ratings. At present, the Douban score is 6.5, which is a little lower than in previous days.
The audience who gave a bad review said this:
"All-round flattering and meanness, stitching monsters"
"The film integrates multiple curious stories, the narrative structure is loose, and the overall pompousness"
"Male gaze perspective, how much he wants to objectify women"
Of course, there are shortcomings in the movie, the background music is noisy and out of place, the actors' acting skills are slightly exaggerated, and the plot has some loopholes.
But in the process of suspense promotion, the pace is fast and the details are very careful.
At least, many viewers who have seen it feel that this movie ticket has not been wasted.
Praise for unpopular movies with low box office, and wantonly belittle movies that have created box office miracles, as if it is a common disease of some netizens, so as to appear that they have noble taste and are different from ordinary people.
This is a commercial movie, going to the box office, grabbing the plot of the movie, criticizing the director's own character, etc., which really dumbfounded me.
As for whether "Disappearing Her" will affect the Southeast Asian tourism industry?
I don't know about this, but I know it must have affected Zhu Yilong.
In any case, when you are away from home, remember to protect yourself.
