Chapter 318 The ultimate brain-burning science fiction film
“Director Wang, film reviews have begun to appear on the Internet one after another.”
Zhou Xiaofa has been paying attention to this matter and learned that film reviews have begun to gain momentum. , report to Wang Shu immediately.
Wang Shu has not gone home yet. He has just finished interacting with the theater audience with Gong Li, Liang Jiahui, Zhou Xun and others.
Hearing Zhou Xiaofa mention this matter, he nodded calmly.
As soon as the movie premiered, a large number of reviews appeared on the Internet analyzing the content and setting of the film. Naturally, it was not real viewers who wrote these long reviews non-stop after watching the movie, but Yishu Company was looking for it.
"Terror Cruise" is a film involving the setting of reincarnation. This kind of film is extremely rare in China.
Many people probably can’t understand it.
It is undeniable that some people do say that they can understand it easily.
However, the fact is that many people cannot understand it.
Even though the setting of this movie is so simple, if you don’t understand it, you just can’t understand it.
In the original timeline, "Terror Cruise" did not do well at the box office after its release, which was equivalent to being a blockbuster.
In addition to the box office restrictions in the regions where it is released, there are also many audiences who have not been exposed to this type of movies who cannot understand it, resulting in a poor reputation.
Then, he made more than 100 million U.S. dollars by selling copyrights.
It also relies on online word-of-mouth fermentation.
This movie appeared on a domestic video website for the first time, and a lot of people also expressed their confusion. It wasn't until there was a barrage explanation or other explanations that more people understood it.
Then the reputation got better and better, and more and more people watched it.
In short, the reality is that the acceptance of this kind of movie by the national audience cannot be overestimated.
Because many people watch movies without thinking, rather than thinking.
In order to prevent many people from expressing their incomprehensibility after the premiere, leading to a poor reputation at the beginning and ruining the golden period of the two weeks before the movie is released, we can only use a navy offensive to promote "" on the Internet in advance. "Horror Cruise".
In short, to paraphrase Chen Kaige’s words, you will not be able to understand this movie in ten years.
Of course, you can’t say that.
It is about presenting reasons and evidence to show that if you can't understand "Terror Cruise", it is not a problem with the movie, but with the audience's personal IQ.
This method not only takes the lead in stabilizing word-of-mouth, but also stimulates the rebellious psychology of moviegoers.
Some viewers who don’t understand can make the audience who don’t understand read the analysis of various movie reviews on the Internet, or in real life someone pretends to explain it by word of mouth in order to show off their high IQ. I'm embarrassed to say things that they don't understand openly.
Moreover, these people may continue to pay for second or third swipes until they understand.
Although, under normal circumstances, even without such frivolous manipulations, the reputation of "Terror Cruise" will most likely increase in a few days due to online movie reviews from some viewers who understand it.
However, the Hollywood blockbuster "Spider-Man 3" will be released in a few days.
In addition, piracy is rampant on the Internet.
If some measures were not taken, "Terror Cruise" would have been squeezed out by "Spider-Man 3" before its reputation could ferment.
Even if the reputation of "Terror Cruise" finally gets fermented, its total box office will probably only be in the tens of millions, and it will be difficult to exceed 100 million.
As for "Horror Cruise" after its release, word-of-mouth has been able to ferment smoothly...
This is really an overestimation of the acceptance ability of the average audience.
"Terror Cruise" is a science fiction film set in reincarnation, and only a small number of viewers will be able to understand it on the first watch.
Other people, nine out of ten, are in the dark.
This is not Wang Shu’s disparagement.
However, most ordinary viewers have never seen it.
They don’t have the relevant knowledge in their hearts, so they can’t accept it in a short time.
If you have watched similar videos, you will understand it quickly.
But if you haven’t seen it before, it’s a different story.
Coupled with the pressure from "Spider-Man 3", Wang Shu could only operate in this way.
Of course, this is not a large-scale review of the plot and setting analysis of "Terror Cruise" appearing on the entire Internet, but a moderate amount.
It not only managed to stabilize its reputation in a short period of time, but also maintained the mystery of the movie "Terror Cruise" to a certain extent during the golden period of the movie's release.
Therefore, the film reviews published by "Tuo" on the Internet are basically long reviews.
For example, a long comment post on "Terror Cruise" appeared on the Tianya Forum.
Title: ""Terror Cruise" is a movie involving the setting of reincarnation. I believe that after reading this post, you will have a new understanding of this movie, which can solve many unresolved questions."
Content : "1. Interpretation of the film title."
""Horror Cruise" is about a single heroine played by Gong Li who went out to sea with a group of friends on a yacht. Later, they encountered a storm and the yacht capsized. Several people After boarding an old cruise ship, a horrific murder occurred immediately, and the most terrifying thing is that Gong Li seems to have fallen into a cycle of terror that is difficult to break out of."
"To be honest, the plot of "Horror Cruise" The title of the film seems too simple and crude, making people feel that it is a horror film."
"It can only be said that Wang Shu, a 20-year-old young director, has the ability to write scripts and make movies. Just name it. You understand.”
"2. Character introduction."
"1. The heroine Gong Li, she is the protagonist of this film, is a single mother with an autistic son."
" 2. Liang Jiahui, he is the owner of the yacht and wants to pursue Gong Li, so he sends an invitation to go sailing with Gong Li. "
" 3. Jiang Wu, Liang Jiahui's friend, currently in the movie. Lives at Liang Jiahui’s place. Well, in reality Jiang Wu is Jiang Wen’s younger brother.”
“5. Zhou Xun, Zhou Xun is Zhang Hanyu’s wife and Liang Jiahui’s ex-girlfriend.” br>
"6. Zhou Haiwei, she is Zhou Xun's friend. Zhou Xun tried his best to bring her and Liang Jiahui to know each other."
"Zhou Haiwei received the lunch box early. Her existence should be mainly to create the scene of a shipwreck. authenticity, as well as setting up suspense about the identity of the attacker at the beginning of the film, and giving several people a reason to search separately. ""Three. The essence of the story"
"I want to clarify. The logic of the movie must first clarify the nature of the story told in "Terror Cruise". Is it a supernatural event? A hallucination? "
"At this point, the answer is very clear. Yes, the story told in this film is the hallucination of Gong Li’s soul.”
"1. The whole cycle of the movie is not reality."
"At the end of the film, Gong Li drove her son into a car accident, and then the camera moved to the front of the car accident, and Gong Li appeared in front of the audience intact. "
"In such a serious car accident, her son died. It is incredible that Gong Li could independently climb out of the overturned car and stand in front of it. It is even more impossible that she was not injured at all. "
“There is only one explanation for this shot, and that is that Gong Li died in the car accident, and what is standing in front of us is Gong Li’s soul, looking back at the scene of the car accident, this is a lot of Hollywood horror (thriller) movies "
"The taxi driver who came behind her was able to see her and talk to her, which shows that this driver is definitely not an ordinary person, even if he is not a person from the underworld such as Minotaur Horse Face. It’s the God of Death, so we’ll call this taxi driver the God of Death (Messenger) below. After all, this film seems to be an idea that our director Wang came up with by combining it with Hollywood movies. It’s more appropriate to call him the God of Death.”
< br>
"What's even weirder is that after Gong Li asked the God of Death (messenger) to take her to the dock, Liang Jiahui, Jiang Wu and others were able to see her soul and talk to her, which shows that this story is not reality."
" Combined with the previous scene of Gong Li hitting an albatross and discarding the body, the director once again reminds us that this is still in a cycle. "
"This proves that the entire cycle is not reality."< br>
“2. This cycle is the punishment given to Gong Li by the God of Death.”
“3. Other evidence.”
"Illusions are like dreams, and they are created from reality. There are many weird shots in the movie, suggesting that what happened on our ship was an illusion created based on Gong Li's memories before her death."
"(1) Still time."
"The opening shows that Gong Li and Liang Jiahui agreed to meet at the pier at 8:30 in the morning, but after they boarded the cruise ship, they discovered that the time was strange 8:17."
"The time on Gong Li's watch was the same as the clock on the ship, 8:17, but when Liang Jiahui looked at his watch, it showed 11. Half past one. "
"And when Gong Li returned to the restaurant, the clock on the cruise ship was still 8:17, and she found that the fresh food was rotten (symbolizing the rot of Gong Li's body). , that is, she is dead)"
"In other words, the time of Liang Jiahui and others is normal and flowing. Three hours passed after meeting at 8:30, and the group boarded the cruise ship; but the time on the ship and Gong Li's time are forever. It stopped at 8:17, and this 8:17 was the time of death in the car accident. "
" (2) The same room number "
" On the cruise ship. Among the many rooms, there is one most special room, which is the room with "Go to the Theater" written on the mirror, and the camera specifically captured the number of this room as 237, and 237 happens to be the house number of Gong Li's house. "
“(3) Similar yachts.”
“The yacht Gong Li and her group went to sea on was very similar to the toy yacht Gong Li bought for her son, and both boats capsized. This is The scene reappeared. Gong Li had scolded her son about this toy before she died, so she felt guilty subconsciously."
"(4) The same piece of music."
"On the cruise ship, the music played by the record player was the same piece of music played by the roadside children's band that Gong Li heard when she hit the bird. This shows that Gong Li died. The melody she heard before was reproduced in another form in the illusion created by her subconscious mind."
"(5) The same pattern on the drum head."
"Gong Li. After boarding the cruise ship, the drum head of the band seen in the restaurant had the same pattern as the drum head of the little boy before his death. "(6) The same injured area."
"Gong Li, who was shot in the head on the cruise ship, has the same head injuries and bleeding areas on Gong Li's body at the car accident scene."
"Four. The composition of the cycle."
" The nature of the story told in "Terror Cruise" has been analyzed before. Now we start to analyze how the loop in the film is composed. This is also the most brain-burning part of the film."
"Personally. It is believed that Gong Li's journey from going out to sea - boarding the ship - jumping into the sea - returning home - going out to sea constitutes a complete cycle, and Gong Li has no memory of the cycle every time she gets on the cruise ship. Their state when they first boarded the cruise ship It’s the same. Depending on whether Gong Li was confronted with a gun in the previous round, it will go through two different cycles.”
“Of course, this is just my personal opinion. You have to go to the cinema to see the details. The answer can only be found in movies.”
"6. "Terror Cruise" is a successful brain-burning soft science fiction film (really, I didn't expect that there are directors in our country who can make such brain-burning films. The 20-year-old director is not bragging)."
< br>"As we all know, there are many kinds of brain-burning movies, but they must all be movies that set up suspense and are not straightforward. These suspense can only be solved by carefully observing the details in various parts of the movie and piecing together clues."
“Some movies simply don’t give the audience enough information, which will cause different audiences to have different interpretations. Even the same audience will have different understandings when watching it at different times in their lives. Such movies are A movie with an open plot. "
""Terror Cruise" is such a movie. "
As soon as this kind of long article with interesting information appeared on the Tianya Forum, it quickly became popular. It attracted many people to watch.
1L: "Isn't this girl the one hired by Wang Shu? Did you analyze the movie so clearly right after it was released? Wang Shu said, I didn't even think of what you said."
2L: "What is this post talking about? Can anyone tell me?"
3L: "Upstairs, this person is bragging about a 20-year-old young director. He is bragging about "Terror Cruise". The movie has just been released. It’s too fake to brag without any effort.”
4L: “I just came home from watching "The Cruise" in the cinema. I was still confused before, but now I saw the poster’s post. It became much clearer in an instant.”
“No, I have to buy a ticket to see it again.”
5L: "I just came back from the cinema. If you go to the cinema and watch "Terror Cruise", you will know that this is definitely a film that will be recorded in the history of our Chinese-language films."
"Really, I walked into the cinema calmly and came out shocked."
"It's incredible that there are directors in our country who can make such brain-burning science fiction films."
"No other director can compare. In comparison, it’s all hot chicken.”
