Chapter 171

The movie "Shh" was released in a low-key manner the week before Halloween without any big publicity. Although it is a low-budget horror film, and it was produced by a big factory, but because of Adam's name, it won the first prize in the first week. Received the treatment of a medium-scale screening in thousands of halls.

This movie is the second horror film shot by Adam. Compared with the first one, it seeks novelty and change, but it is much more mediocre. It contains a core of political correctness that gradually begins, and its structure is traditional Hollywood. The structure of the horror movie, the content is quite innovative, combined with Adam's compactness, suspense and horror, which is almost at its peak, abruptly pushed this movie, which was not too good in the script, to the status of the most worth-seeing horror movie back then. .

Thousands of museums opened in the first week, and there was an interstellar gate blocking the road before. At the same time, there was also the war movie "thewar" and "Mary Shelley's Frankens", a horror science fiction movie written by a famous screenwriter. "Hush" still achieved an outstanding performance of breaking 700 in a single theater, and won the box office of [-] million in the first week, which once again explained what a low-cost dark horse is.

Of course, there is no large-scale publicity, but the resources that can be used are still used. For example, the California Times mentioned this horror movie shot by its own boss for three consecutive days on the weekend. Naturally, there are many angles and various nasty compliments , For example, how to embody the humanistic spirit, etc. Of course, it is all nonsense. A horror movie is nothing more. How much humanistic spirit and humanitarian spirit can there be that can be analyzed?

However, one of the articles about the various organs in the movie won Adam's approval and favor, because this is actually the biggest highlight of the movie, and this film critic can be said to have analyzed the movie to the point. Both advantages and disadvantages are targeted, which is why the California Times put him on the page.

However, compared to the California Times, which recruited sailors to flatter and publicize, Adam raised a pair of "real" sailors with rhythm, and promoted the movie with rhythm in various ways on the Unicorn Forum.

It has to be said that in the early days of the Internet when the trolls were not flooded enough, this method was still very effective, so Adam only spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on publicity (including the cost of ground publicity), but almost reached The effect of millions of other big six companies.

But unfortunately, although "Shh" opened 3 theaters in the second week, it ran into the classic movie "Interview with the Vampire" starring Liangtang head-on, and there was also a classic funny series movie released in the same week "Santa Claus [-]".

Among them, "Interview with the Vampire" opened with 500 museums. I have to say that Warner is extremely optimistic about this movie, and "Interview" did not live up to Warner's trust. It sold more than [-] million in the first three days. The box office results of the movie stand proudly at the top of the list, outshine the crowd.

And the second place is not Adam's "Hush", but "Santa Claus 3", which was released in the first week. After Interview with the Vampire, it ranked second.

And Adam's horror movie "Shh" is of outstanding quality, and it happened not long after Halloween, and the trolls kept pouring water, so under the powerful sniping of two new films, the next week's box office still fell by no more than 1000% , once again won the excellent box office of 800 and [-] million, and pushed the total box office to [-] million.

Judging from the quality and word-of-mouth of the two new films, Adam's horror movie, which still has a good reputation, has almost no possibility of a counterattack. According to the box office trend, this movie will lose momentum after breaking through 6000 million. In the end, it stayed in the early 6000 million.

However, because Adam's previous work "Little House" has gained worldwide reputation and achieved amazing box office results. Although this is not a sequel, it is still a horror movie anyway, and his novels are best-selling all over the world. Therefore, Adam's This new film has been easily sold to dozens of countries, and will be released around the world one after another in the following time. It is expected that this film will earn 5000 to [-] million US dollars at the box office.

Although it is impossible to continue to create myths against the sky, it was able to get 8000 dollars in North America at a cost of millions, and the global box office exceeded 1994 million US dollars, and the profit exceeded dozens of times. It is extremely bright.

Of course, the significance of these box offices is not as important to Adam as the success of the two TV series "Legend" and "True Love". "Legend" resisted the trump cards of various TV stations on Friday. Excellent quality, a large amount of cost investment, and a texture comparable to a movie have conquered tens of millions of viewers. By the time the TV series is halfway through, the number of viewers has stabilized at around 500 million, and the ratings have also remained at around 8 (relatively The number of viewers, because the audience is younger, so the ratings are better), and the other "True Love", which focuses on female audiences, although the script has been criticized, the actors' acting skills have been repeatedly complained about, and the cost is even worse compared to "Legend". There are more than a few streets, but "True Love" has hit a bright road. Not only has it stabilized at 500 million early, but the ratings can also be guaranteed to be around 5. I have to say that this result makes many people feel uncomfortable. confidence.

Moreover, compared to the almost extravagant investment of "Legend", the cost of the entire season of "True Love" is not even as high as the cost of the first two episodes of "Legend", but through advertisements in the play and other methods (without affecting the plot) Below), reaching the output close to "Legend", I have to say that this is so shocking that my jaw almost dropped.

Therefore, when the gathering was not over halfway, PD TV station directly set the filming of the next two seasons under Adam's instruction, because it signed a TV drama contract for three seasons at one time, and the main actors of the first three seasons were all newcomers, so the price was reasonable It's not cheap, so when the filming decided to start the next season, I took the initiative to sign a new contract with them, and the salary was increased by five times. From the next season, the three leading actors reached [-] per episode (of course , because the base number is not high, so it is actually still a good deal), and "Legend" there is no movement, mainly because Adam is still thinking about the plot of the next season, and the plot cannot be determined, so naturally it is impossible to confirm whether the next level will continue.

In the plot of the first season of the "Legend" TV series, Bernie and Scott finally escaped from the manor after several struggles, but Scott was tracked by the blood wolf gang. When he escaped again, Scott died with his body. As a bait, he lured the members of the Blood Wolf Gang away and separated from his brother Bernie.

As a result, Scott was captured by the blood wolf gang that had been prepared for a long time, and was imprisoned and abused. Finally, he was thrown into the Colosseum, where he had a cruel duel with various aliens and beasts, struggling to survive.

Bernie, who waited for no results, could only wander around by himself and was sent to an orphanage. Because of his outstanding appearance and gentle personality, he was finally adopted by a kind-hearted middle-class family without children and lived an ordinary life. The life of a happy American teenager.

The two brothers have embarked on two different paths so far. One is living in a hell-like Colosseum, struggling to survive, and the other is gradually forgetting the past in a stable and happy life and living an ordinary and happy life.

The two are like straight lines that intersect, and they separate, and go further and further away, as if there is no chance of intersection.

Once again, the blood wolf gang was destroyed in the turf war. Scott took advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to escape and ascend to heaven again. Instead of disturbing him, he left silently.

Because of Scott's manor and the experience of the past few years, he came up with the idea of ​​saving other aliens, uniting them, and fighting against oppression.

Here, according to Adam's instructions, two lines keep crossing. One is Scott's act of saving the enslaved and mutilated aliens, and uniting them to save other aliens. teen life.

Such a two-line intersecting way of telling is to use light and dark tones to form a contrast between the two worlds, so that the audience can't help but feel sympathy for the alien.At the same time, it also strengthens the connection between the two brothers, revealing that although they are in two worlds, it is not impossible to cross the border.

I have to say that, unlike many American dramas where a simple story always wastes a lot of time, the stories in each episode of "Legend" are rich in content, coupled with a compact plot rhythm and sharp editing, coupled with precise and excellent The background music makes people watch the whole episode like a moment.

However, relatively speaking, the plot after the winter break was more ups and downs. Because of Scott's rescue, more and more strangers gathered around him, which attracted the attention of various forces and the government. But Bernie was horrified to find that his supernatural ability was suddenly activated after an accident. In this world where strangers are sinners, it is conceivable that Bernie's life is destined to be unsettled.

Scott's confrontation and alliance with various forces, and how to continue to save the same kind; on the other hand, his younger brother Bernie was forced to hide himself and fight against his own talents and abilities, and finally how to make a choice under the pressure of society. All very interesting.

……

However, no matter what, one year is going to pass again, and Christmas in the new year is coming, and Adam is once again carrying the presents from the preparer in big bags and small bags, and taking his own man, preparing to go back for a rare and leisurely journey. holiday.

The author has something to say: I didn’t catch up, woo woo woo, depressed
