My movie scared the global audience to tears

A lot of things happened during this year's Ghost Festival.

The famous movie queen Jiang Jing was exposed by reporters as cheating on the famous fashion designer Lu Kai, and there were photos to prove it.

The famous volcano in Neon Province erupted slightly, and volcanic ash spread to more than 20 surrounding cities.

Thomas Fred, the top tycoon of the Free Federation, donated 20% of his fortune to establish a charitable fund to provide student loans for poor students.

A famous milk tea brand fell into a store closing frenzy, closing more than 200 chain stores within six months.

…

However, on the hot search lists on all major platforms, the number one topic is "Mr. Zombie".

All netizens who have watched this movie are chatting about it in various discussion groups.

"I admit that I underestimated Song Qi. This "Mr. Zombie" is really good-looking. This is the first time I have seen someone combine horror and comedy elements into a movie, and it is combined so well. It is not at all

It’s a play that makes me scared but also wants to watch it, it’s really good!”

"Zombies are really scary! But you can actually block your nose to trick the zombies, haha! You can actually do this! It's amazing!"

"Can traditional horror movies be shot like this? I know Song Qi will definitely come up with new ideas, but this seems to be a new subject, right? I have never seen a horror movie about zombies. Has anyone seen it?

?”

"This movie is shot so realistically! Many scenes in it are the same as in reality. When I was a child, we had a mourning hall at home, just like in the movie! There is also the legal burial mentioned by Uncle Jiu. I also heard about it when I was a child. Is it really true in ancient times?

Have you ever had a zombie?"

"Zombies are a type of zombie, right? They all seem to be resurrected from the dead and become ferocious, but zombies are caused by the T virus. How could there be a T virus in ancient times? This setting feels a bit fake."

In major discussion groups, many netizens have become very interested in zombies and various settings in the movie.

At this moment, a post posted by a netizen on a horror movie bar became a hot search topic.

The title of the post is: [Song Qi once again creates a new trend!]

The publisher of the content is the user "Tianmu" who previously expressed disapproval of the movie.

"Hello everyone, I'm Tianmu, I just came back from watching "Mr. Zombie".

I originally wanted to write a movie review tomorrow, but seeing that everyone is discussing it, I will give my own opinion first!

Unfortunately, I was slapped in the face. All my previous predictions for "Mr. Zombie" were invalid. Director Song Qi's excellence exceeded my imagination. He contributed an extremely wonderful traditional horror movie and may even create a new one.

A new theme for traditional horror movies.

Let me put the predictions in advance. Let me first talk about the setting and background of this movie! This is also what surprised me the most about this movie.

Some netizens think that zombies are a type of zombie, but they are totally wrong.

On the contrary, I think director Song Qi should have had the idea of ​​zombies before developing them.

I remember that more than ten years ago, when I was collecting folk customs, I read an ancient book, which recorded that in the mountainous areas of western Hunan Province, there was an ancient profession called corpse exorcism.

I just checked the information again, and I have probably figured out its background, so I will give you some popular science first.

It is said that this is an ancient profession that can be traced back to ancient times, and its prototype is the shaman priest in ancient times.

Legend has it that on the battlefields in ancient times, in order to allow the dead soldiers to return to their hometowns and rest in peace, the witches and priests would use witchcraft to make the corpses of the soldiers into moving corpses, and then use witchcraft to make them move.

Drive them back to their hometown.

But this is just a myth and legend, and it is not credible. However, the form of exorcism does exist, but there is no mythical element.

In the culture of Daxia, there is indeed a tradition of returning fallen leaves to their roots.

However, due to the inconvenience of transportation in ancient times, some people who died in a foreign country had to use some means to return to their hometown for burial.

In ancient times, traveling by boat and car was very expensive, and ordinary people couldn't afford it.

Therefore, the job of corpse exterminator was born.

The corpse exorcist is not as magical as in the movie "Mr. Zombie". He can use bells and talismans to make the corpse jump and walk on its own.

The actual driving of corpses is actually very simple, just carrying the corpses on bamboo poles and driving them away.

But if the corpse is left lying sideways, a pair of bamboo poles can only lift one corpse, which is too costly.

Therefore, some corpse exorcists came up with a way.

They tied the bamboo poles to the armpits of the corpse so that the corpse seemed to be standing on the bamboo poles, which could save a lot of space.

In this way, a pair of bamboo poles can carry two or more corpses.

However, the bamboo pole is elastic, and the corpse will sway up and down due to the steps of the corpse remover. If you look at it in the dark or from a distance, you will feel that the corpse is jumping forward, creating an illusion, so it appears.

The legend of jumping corpse.

Because corpses become stiff after death, some people also call corpses zombies. This is probably where the concept of zombies comes from.

However, this profession has disappeared for more than a hundred years, and even many locals in Hunan Province have never heard of the legend of jumping corpses. Unexpectedly, Song Qi would adapt this legend into a movie.

To be honest, the concept of this zombie really surprised me.

The setting of the living dead coming back from the dead inherently has elements of horror.

In addition, director Song Qi added settings such as an invulnerable body, a bloodthirsty and easy-to-kill character, and a zombie poison that can spread quickly, turning the zombie into a new ghost form instantly.

This is so interesting!

Humanoid ghosts have always been a favorite concept among directors and creators, because they are easy to write, easy to shoot, and the audience has a sense of involvement.

The audience’s sense of immersion is so valuable!

If you observe, you will find that the more human-like the ghosts in traditional horror movies are, the better the box office will be.

Beasts are not as good as monsters, monsters are not as good as ghosts, and ghosts are not as good as evil people. This is an obvious rule.

The most terrifying thing in the world is the human heart.

But there are too few humanoid horror elements, and it can easily hit the review red line.

Traditional horror movies are fine, but in movies with modern settings, there can't even be monsters.

That’s why many people feel that many of today’s horror movies are becoming less and less enjoyable because they lack a sense of immersion.

But the concept of the living dead created by Song Qi perfectly overcomes this problem.

His last film "Resident Evil" actually introduced a horror element that can transcend the modern background-zombie.

Zombies are still humans in essence, but they are infected by the T virus, so they have the ability to move.

This setting perfectly avoids the review red line and achieves the goal of humanoid horror elements. It is wonderful.

The same goes for zombies, which are equivalent to zombies in the ancient context.

This concept is worth exploring. Just like the behemoths created by Song Qi, they are concepts that can build a grand background.

As far as I know, Song Qi has opened up the copyright and encouraged his colleagues to make monster movies.

This is an extremely noble decision. I deeply admire Song Qi. This decision will definitely have a great impact on the entire horror movie category in the future!

All in all, "Mr. Zombie" is a very, very good movie, and it has the potential to become a classic.

I have a hunch that maybe this movie is the turning point for the re-emergence of traditional horror movies!

Therefore, netizens who have not watched the movie are strongly recommended to watch it!

This time, I won’t make a box office prediction, because no matter how much the box office is, I won’t be surprised!”
