Hollywood Starts with Animation

Chapter 46 Box Office Third Runner-up

"Deadly Bend" mainly tells the story of several tourists who strayed into the forest and escaped from the pursuit of freaks in an abandoned bend.

At the beginning of the film, the male protagonist played by Joaquin Phoenix appeared.

The actor Chris, a reporter, received an urgent interview assignment and was required to arrive in Raleigh, North Carolina within 3 hours.

"Damn interview mission~!"

It was clear how resistant Harris was to his boss's three-hour deadline to complete the task.

However, there is no way.

To eat!

However, what should have been a smooth trip was disrupted by a traffic accident. A vehicle carrying chemicals overturned, causing a heavy traffic jam on the highway.

"Damn interview, unlucky car accident, what a bad day today."

In desperation, Chris could only choose a sparsely populated path.

On the other hand, five friends, including Jesse, Carly, Scott, Evan and France, drove to the mountains for camping.

Ah, the dead American youth!

Who knew that the car had a bizarre flat tire halfway?

"What about a flat tire?" said Jesse, played by Lima.

The other four had no choice but to wait for the rescue car to arrive.

But.

What they were waiting for was not the arrival of the rescue car, but the arrival of Chris who was in a sudden danger.

"Damn it!"

The scolding Harris also saw Jesse and others, and immediately asked them for help.

"Man, are you going to take our car?"

Scott pointed to the car with a flat tire and said, "Do you think it can run?"

As a last resort, everyone went to the neighborhood for help.

But he did not expect to fall into the many traps set by the deformed ogre.

At the same time, seeing the beginning of the film, many viewers in the theater also had a premonition that the next plot would have ups and downs.

"I guess the next storyline should be the appearance of the weirdo on the poster." A young audience member whispered to a friend next to him.

"Thompson, watch your movie, don't bother me, ok?"

"Sorry, sorry."

The video continues...

The ogre comes on stage, his hideous face and terrifying laughter all reveal the rhythm that he is the villain.

The same is true.

As soon as the ogre came out, he brutally killed one of them.

"No...France~!"

While one person was receiving the boxed lunch, the blood donation he sprayed out also drove several people around him crazy.

From this moment on, the style of the film changed dramatically.

Items torture, devour, continue to torture, humans fight back...  

The thrilling chases and battles started, the climax of the story, the operation of the ogre killing several people brutally, and the dripping blood scenes, which made the audience who love horror movie plots addicted.

"awesome!"

"We should also go camping in the wild, and of course it would be even better if we encountered a perverted ogre."

"Yeah, I'll shoot that damn ogre with one shot."

......

Well, it's no wonder that this is the case in the movie. In fact, there are many young men and women in the United States who love to die.

Of course, it is not ruled out that "Ye Gong loves dragons", they are looking forward to seeing the ogre, but if they do encounter it, the result must be hehe~.

Strictly speaking, the movie "Fatal Corner 1" is, no, the entire "Fatal Corner" series. In fact, it doesn't have much plot at all. Its focus is nothing more than the repeated killing, chasing, and struggle of ogres and humans. Wait, the plasma shots that keep appearing are its best selling point.

Moreover, American horror movies in recent years,

Most of them are ghosts and ghosts, and there are few simple plasma types.

I have to say that Zucker now chooses "Deadly Bend 1" as the company's first horror film series, which is also a chicken thief.

The movie will be over soon!

But the movie discussion about Deadly Bend is just getting started.

A white young man excitedly said to his friend next to him, "9 points! This is the best plasma horror movie I've seen in recent years."

"That's right!"

Another said: "Better than Moonlight Panic and Scream in previous years, I can't wait to see the second one now."

Another person chimed in: "Then why don't we watch it again?"

Immediately, this suggestion was accepted by everyone.

......

"Ogre? Does such a creature really exist?!" a brown-haired girl asked.

The little friend next to her affirmed: "Of course there is! Not to mention that the African ogres are real, there are many people who go camping in the wild every year, and there are many mysterious disappearances and deaths. Now it seems that they are very There may be an ogre encounter."

Hearing this, the little face of the brown-haired girl instantly turned pale.

Under his fear, he involuntarily threw himself into the arms of his friends.

"Hehe, I'll just say yes. Next time I wait for the second film to be released, I'll take her to see it." The little friend's little conspiracy succeeded.

......

A theater party in America.

"what?"

"You said that the number of people watching the movie "Fatal Bend" has increased significantly, right?"

"You idiot! You didn't tell me such a thing sooner."

"What should I do? Of course, it's the number of additional screenings. The screen for additional screenings is selected from the movies with a small number of viewers according to the old rules. You can definitely handle such a simple thing."

"What? You said other film companies are not happy!"

"It's his business that he doesn't like it. What do we open the theater for? Make money!"

The long-term development of Hollywood has already promoted the development of movie theaters, so that the major theater chains have their own set of rules of conduct.

As for the film arrangement contract between the theater chain and the film company?

Ha ha!

The contracts of the theater party are basically flexible contracts.

That is to say, after giving the film a minimum number of films for a certain period, the cinema can completely adjust it on the basis of the contract. The principle of adjustment is simpler. Those movies can make more money for theaters, so they should arrange more movies.

The reason why "Deadly Bend" was released was that it was more popular than the original time and space when it was released in 2003!

The reason is also because there are too few plasma tablets in 1996!

Moreover, the sequels of many well-known horror films were not released in this schedule.

In addition, director M. Knight Shyamalan, although he is a fledgling, he has the ability to go beyond ordinary people in the field of horror films. In the film's sharp chasing scenes, torture scenes and other aspects, what he has to do is much better than the director of the original time and space.

"Oh, can it be the same?"

"Rob Schmidt, the director of the original "Deadly Bend" movie, is just a more common director."

"As for M. Knight Shyamalan, in the future he will be a well-known director who has made many popular films such as "The Sixth Sense" and "Return to Earth"."

"The gap between the two is really big, and it also creates a gap in the final picture and quality of the film."

While Zhu Ke sighed, he had to admit that Shyamalan really had the ability.

Well, stronger than myself.

Well, Zhu Ke, who has the title of "tens of millions of box office, talented director", occasionally shows off himself. In fact, he knows in his heart that his director is not very good.

......

In a blink of an eye, three days passed.

"Deadly Bend 1" also ended its first weekend of screening, with a cumulative three-day box office of $12.45 million, ranking third in this weekend's box office rankings!

The ranking of the third runner-up at the weekend box office is also the best result since the establishment of Wald Pictures!
