Director Ke Wenli, a few years ago's film "Manslaughter", the box office of 1.3 billion made this small-budget suspense film doubling.
Maybe it's the success of wanting to replicate the original.
This time, Ke Wenli put all kinds of thrillers, suspense and other commercial elements on the screen.
The movie was released for 4 days and grossed 168 million.
The total forecast has also changed from 500 million to 1.1 billion.
(There are slight spoilers in the following, but it doesn't affect the viewing, mind quitting!) ）
In fact, the content of the movie is still very simple, reflecting social phenomena such as school bullying, domestic violence, family of origin, and voting tracking.
From the ground up, it's fascinating.
The story begins at a women's high school, where Xiaotong is bullied by a female demon and puts glue on her mouth and sticks her to the wall.
After the mother of the child played by Zhang Junmi arrived, she was heartbroken and could only use scissors to cut off her hair to save the child.
It's shocking across the screen.
Large-scale bullying plots like this that challenge the audience's bottom line can be seen everywhere.
There is Xiaotong in front and her friends in the back.
On one side is the desperate cry of the bullied, and on the other hand, the demon laughs unbridledly.
The director is good at marketing, and starts from scratch to arouse the anger of the audience.
Then, various large-scale plots were arranged.
On a dark and rainy night, people in raincoats appeared, and the bullies were killed one by one and hacked to death.
The corpse fell from the sky, the eyes looked at each other, the sledgehammer was smashed, and the major artery was clattered and cut, which was very bloody and violent.
It doesn't matter who killed them or how they died, what matters is that the audience wants them to die.
No, outside of being afraid, the feeling of a cool film is coming.
At the beginning of the film's release, the filmmaker typed the words "minors watch with caution".
Judging from the content, it is indeed the largest film that the editor has seen in recent years.
Although the previous "Removing the Three Evils Around the Week" was also bloody, it was one shot at a time, and all the dead were bad guys.
And this guy is doing all kinds of cruel things together, and it has been upgraded to a higher level.
The old editor was so frightened that he couldn't sleep.
However, this does not affect the excitement of the content.
The heroine played by Zhang Junning took out her own kumquat to the principal and gave it to other wicked people to eat.
And these kumquats are all "nourished" by the corpse of the husband.
It's horrible.
This kind of horror is not the visual bloody violence, but the dark side of the human heart that is terrifying.
Therefore, it is right for children not to go to the cinema.
All in all, the thriller element of the movie is beyond the norm, and if you like horror movies, you will definitely love this movie.
But as a suspense film, if the audience has a little bit of reading, they will guess the end when they see the beginning.
The storyline is not as good as the previous work.
Of course, I guess the director's mind should not be here, his purpose is to create some suspense films with a mixture of thrillers and jokes.
At the end of the film, the movie also played subtitles thanking Chen Sicheng, which is not surprising.
Chen Sicheng's movies such as "Manslaughter" and "She Who Disappeared" have made a lot of money, and he is a very successful suspense film businessman.
Although word-of-mouth controversy is quite controversial.
But high-saturation colors, large-scale thriller plots, weird and superb soundtracks, and cool film settings, these elements are blended together, and the current audience is very comfortable with this set.
It is also conducive to the dissemination and fermentation of short videos, and everyone wants to take a peek.
As a result, the box office is generally not much worse.
It can be seen that director Ke Wenli is also well versed in the essence of Chen Sicheng.
The reputation of this movie must not be as good as "Manslaughter", but the box office will not be bad.
