My movie scared the global audience to tears

Chapter 101 Word of mouth collapsed

"There is a movie called "Prehistoric Crocodile" coming out recently, have you noticed? It seems to be filmed by Song Qi!"

"It wasn't shot by Song Qi, it was produced by Song Qi."

"Ah? Isn't that selling dog meat with a sheep's head? I immediately lost interest."

"This year I have watched several movies with monster themes, all of which were made by small film and television companies. They are completely following the trend, the special effects are ridiculous, and the plot is ugly. There is no way to compare with Song Qi's.

"

"You can still watch "Prehistoric Crocodile". It is said that the director is Song Qi's assistant director and has participated in the filming of all Song Qi's movies."

"Really? That should be okay. Let's go and have a look then! I hope it tastes like that."

Since the promotion of "Prehistoric Crocodile" started, similar chat content has appeared frequently in various social groups.

With the title of producer Song Qi, "Prehistoric Crocodile" quickly aroused the curiosity of many movie lovers.

Nowadays, Song Qi has completely made a name for himself with the movie "Jurassic Park".

Many ordinary viewers who are not interested in horror movies have also heard of his name.

The monster horror movies he pioneered have become a unique film genre and his trademark.

Even when many people call him, they don't call him by his name, but the director who shot Behemoth.

Therefore, such a movie, which you can tell just by looking at the name, is about giant beasts, quickly attracted the attention of many people.

Relying on the gimmick produced by Song Qi and coupled with vigorous publicity, the pre-sale box office of "Prehistoric Crocodile" exceeded 20 million in just one week, and in the following two weeks, it reached 20 million.

Seventy million!

This is already a very impressive result in a small time period like the Zhongyuan stall.

This year, there are only 13 movies released in the mid-year holiday period, but seven of them are monster-themed movies.

Movies such as "Shallow Sea", "Two-Headed Shark", "Battle of the Octopus" and "Anaconda" are all following the trend when they hear the name, but they account for more than half of the schedule.

There is no way, horror movies have been in decline for many years. After Song Qi came out, he successively made several monster-themed movies, which seemed to have opened up a new path for the creators of horror movies.

The box office success of "Apepp" and "Jurassic Park" winning the Spring Festival season also made them excited, and they started to follow suit.

As a result, the audience who came to the theater to watch a movie during the Ghost Festival this year saw a chaotic scene of sharks vs. octopuses vs. pythons vs. crocodiles.

If an unsuspecting person enters by mistake, they may even think that they have entered a zoo.

This was the feeling Liu Hang had after entering the theater.

He has graduated from college and started working.

His girlfriend's place of work is not in the same city as his, so they can only get together once in a while.

Today is their love anniversary, and Liu Hang once again came to the city where his girlfriend lives.

They confirmed their relationship in a movie theater and on the Ghost Festival.

That time, they watched Song Qi's "Jaws".

But since then, Song Qi's movies have focused on the Spring Festival period and have never appeared in the Zhongyuan period.

And this time, it was rare that a monster horror movie related to Song Qi was released in the Zhongyuan period, so naturally they couldn't miss it.

"Two copies of "Prehistoric Crocodile" and two pairs of glasses, thank you."

Liu Hang bought a ticket, rented glasses, and took his girlfriend into the cinema.

After arriving at the cinema and taking a seat, Liu Hang looked around and found that the occupancy rate of the entire cinema was about 70%.

In this small city where his girlfriend lives, and at a time like this, it is pretty good to have such an attendance rate.

Soon, the lights in the theater dimmed and the movie was about to start.

Gululu~!

The dark water bottom, swaying aquatic plants, floating plankton, and the first familiar underwater propulsion shot instantly evoked Liu Hang's memories from two years ago.

The sense of peeping hidden behind the camera made Liu Hang couldn't help but feel chills on his back, shivers, and goosebumps all over his body.

That’s what it tastes like!

He and his girlfriend looked at each other and smiled, as if they were back on the day of their first date.

As the camera comes to the water, the story gradually unfolds.

The staff of the Fish and Game Bureau came to Fanyang Lake to conduct water quality survey, but they were attacked by a ferocious beast underwater, and their bodies were bitten in half, leaving huge animal teeth marks.

Zoologist Julie therefore came to the local area to investigate, and encountered several deaths one after another. The deceased had huge animal tooth marks on their bodies, and none of them had complete bodies.

Local conservationists and staff from the Animal Protection Bureau jointly launched an investigation with the police. As a result, they discovered a huge crocodile when they dived into the water...

As the plot progressed, screams could be heard from time to time in the theater.

This movie also uses Miracle Pictures’ unique 4D technology. After wearing glasses, the viewing effect is very good.

The ferocious giant crocodile on the screen seemed to be very close and lifelike.

And its ferocious bite also made the timid audience scream and tremble.

When the movie ended and the theater lights came on, Liu Hang took off his glasses, looked at his girlfriend next to him, and asked with a smile: "How do you feel?"

"It's pretty good. It feels like we're back to the first time we watched the movie."

The girlfriend said with a smile, and then added: "This movie looks a bit strange. It feels like replacing the Jaws with a crocodile. The ingredients are changed without changing the ingredients. However, the special effects are good and it still looks quite enjoyable."

of."

"Do you think so too?"

Liu Hang hugged her with a smile and looked at the subtitles: "I feel the same way, but this way it feels more like when we watched Jaws together!"

"Memory filter?"

His girlfriend looked up at him: "So, do you think I looked better then or now?"

“They all look good!”

Liu Hang smiled and pulled her up: "Let's go! I'll take you for a midnight snack."

The two of them had a late night snack and returned to the hotel. After finishing what they needed to do, Liu Hang opened his phone and habitually clicked on the post bar and entered the horror movie bar.

People who like to watch horror movies tend to be a bit of a night owl, and they become more energetic as the evening progresses. This is a busy time in the bar, and posts are flying everywhere.

[Have you all gone to the movies? I’m almost convinced. The theater has almost turned into a zoo. It’s either fish or shrimp. Can these people still do it? 】

[Plagiarism is really a cancer in the industry! They copy every popular movie, and the entire movie genre will be scrapped by these guys!]

[Every year is worse than the last! In the past few years, all kinds of vixen girls have been occupied by giant beasts in recent years, so I can only take pictures. Can you take more interesting pictures? I bought a two-headed shark and it took five minutes to go in.

I was embarrassed and wasted dozens of dollars. Let’s not talk about it anymore. I went to see the serious Great White Shark to wash my eyes.]

[Don’t brag about Song Qi all the time. I went to watch this prehistoric giant crocodile. It only had special effects. The story had no innovation at all. It was directly copied from Jaws. Even the rhythm of the dead NPC was exactly the same. It was purely

Old wine in new bottles, Song Qi filmed it once, and then asked the assistant director to film it again to make money, do you think we are fools?】

[Reflections after watching the prehistoric giant crocodile: It’s like watching Jaws again, over!]

Looking at the posts in the Tieba forum, Liu Hang thought for a while and posted a post.

[I just watched "Prehistoric Crocodile" and I felt pretty good about it. Although the story does seem to be like old wine in new bottles, fortunately with the blessing of 4D viewing technology, it still looks quite enjoyable.]

As soon as the post was posted, many friends left comments below.

"I also went to see it. The special effects were good, but I felt that the story was indeed outdated. It didn't have the same sense of amazement as when I first saw Jaws."

"The Jurassic dinosaurs are already out, so why shoot a crocodile? It feels like the quality is gone. Fortunately, Song Qi is only the producer, otherwise it would be a ruin of the brand."

"Is there any difference between being a producer and filming by yourself? They are all using Song Qi's name to trick the audience into buying tickets. We look at his face and buy tickets, but in the end he feeds us leftovers. This doesn't take us seriously.

Are you here?"

"I guess he won't be able to make anything new. This kind of movie is just a novelty to watch. It just enlarges some chicken, duck, and fish animals, makes them extremely big, and then scares people. It's just like that.

, Jurassic Park still has something to offer, but after Dinosaurs, the beast-type movies have basically come to an end, there is nothing left to shoot, and any more movies will just be hot leftovers, just repeating yourself."

"I feel so cold! If Song Qi's new movie is only of this level, then the bet between him and Yang Lin will probably lose!"

Looking at the replies at the bottom of the post, Liu Hang was thoughtful.

It seems that the reputation of this "Prehistoric Crocodile" has collapsed!
