My movie scared the global audience to tears

This is the movie category with the smallest number of movies in the Daqian Film and Television library, and is very unpopular.

Shouldn't it?

Horror movies are the genre with the most bad movies.

Why are there so many bad movies? Because they sell easily!

Horror movies have always been a genre with frequent classics, so why are they so unpopular?

Song Qi curiously moved the mouse and clicked on this category. Rows of movie titles and posters appeared in front of him.

"Fox Mei Niang"

"Demon Fetus"

"Ghost House No. 9"

"No Gate to Hell"

…

Looking at the movie titles that looked like they were from the last century, and the shabby movie posters, Song Qi couldn't help but twitch his lips.

The development of horror movies in this world seems to be lagging behind!

Song Qi searched his memory and finally found the problem.

This world has relatively strict control over fantasy and horror movies, which is somewhat similar to previous lives.

For example, there cannot be supernatural ghosts, illegal religions, etc., so that there are only two themes left for horror movies in this world to survive.

One kind is ancient folk tales based on unofficial legends, such as the fox fairy repaying kindness, the pen fairy redressing injustice, etc. The scripts are all adapted from operas, and they also talk about the principle that good deeds are rewarded, and the way of heaven is reincarnated.

The other type is psychological horror, such as movies adapted from real-life murder cases, and movies that start with various strange events and end with the fantasy of a mental patient or the fantasy of a depressed patient.

Other than that, there are no good horror movies.

But are these really the only things that can be made in horror movies?

Of course not!

Horror movies should be regarded as a movie type that most thoroughly implements the most primitive sensory stimulation of movies. A good horror movie can inspire the most primitive fear deep in the audience's heart, thereby obtaining the most ultimate movie-watching experience.

Although there are many bad films on this subject, there are also countless classics that have been passed down and are praised and talked about by countless fans.

And in the history of movies, many classic cases of using small things to make a big difference were created by horror films.

To borrow a line from "Monsters University": Creating terror is a science.

People are afraid of those elements that scare them, but they are also deeply fascinated by them.

Thinking of this, Song Qi immediately made a decision.

It’s you!

Just as he made his decision, a voice appeared in Song Qi's mind.

[Ding! You have activated the most powerful movie special effects audio and video auxiliary system and are matching resources for you...The resource library has been matched!]

system?

Song Qi was slightly startled, it turned out to be a must-have golden finger for time travel! It came at the perfect time!

The next moment, a curtain of light appeared in front of Song Qi's eyes.

Light Curtain is a bit like Pro's video production interface, but it doesn't have as many functional options.

[This system is a professional film special effects audio and video auxiliary system, which can provide you with one-click generation of CG special effects pictures, fast editing, fast soundtrack and other functions, greatly saving your time and providing you with the most comfortable and convenient creative experience! 】

[Warm reminder: The material templates in the material library of this system and the produced CG special effects pictures can be projected into reality, and all sensory experiences can be freely applied. 】

[Please click here for detailed function introduction▼]

After browsing through the function introduction, Song Qi had a general understanding of the system's functions.

To put it simply, this is a post-production software system that can automatically connect to storage devices, import the captured footage, and then perform post-production in the system.

Nowadays, with the rapid development of the film industry, post-production has gradually occupied more and more important positions in film production.

Some movies can even be shot completely in a studio, and then use post-production special effects to create wonderful images.

But the post-production of a movie is a very tiring job. CG special effects need to be rendered frame by frame. Some complex special effects shots will burn millions of dollars in one second.

But money is a trivial matter, what matters is time.

Many movies often shoot the material in two months, but the post-production process takes one or two years to complete.

The auxiliary system in Song Qi's mind can greatly reduce this time.

Its CG special effects function is very simple and mindless, but the effect is very powerful. It provides countless fake and real models, and can be easily controlled with just his thoughts.

In addition, those CG models can also be controlled and projected by him.

Song Qi looked at the laptop in front of him, and as soon as he had a thought, the next moment, the keyboard of the laptop disappeared, replaced by a piece of sparkling water, like an ocean.

Boo!

A dolphin as long as a gel pen rushed out of the water with splashes of water, rolled gracefully in the air, and dived into the water, splashing large waves.

The waves splashed onto Song Qi's arms, giving him a cool feeling, and he seemed to smell a faint salty smell of sea water.

But when he raised his hand to wipe the seawater on his arm, he found that there was no trace of seawater at all.

That's just a projection.

Strong!

Song Qi was amazed.

Is this the legendary 8D movie experience?

Vision, smell, hearing, taste, and touch are all present. If a girl is projected...

What a good thing!

This system is simply made for movies!

After learning about the system's functions, Song Qi's confidence greatly increased.

This system is even more powerful for him and can help him save a lot of investment, time and energy.

In this way, his five million investment can do a lot more things!

Looking at the computer again, Song Qi made a decision.

He's going to make "Jaws"!

As a classic representative of horror films and the masterpiece of famous director Spielberg, "Jaws" definitely has a status that cannot be ignored in film history.

The investment cost of "Jaws" was not high, only 9 million US dollars, but it earned hundreds of millions in box office, and the global box office was as high as 470 million US dollars, which is more than 50 times the investment cost.

After its release, it took in a box office of US$7.06 million in its first weekend. It recovered its cost in less than two weeks. It only took 78 days to surpass "The Godfather" and become the top-grossing film in North America. It soon became the first film in film history to have a box office of over 100 million.

works.

Before the release of "Jaws", winter has always been the most commercially valuable movie release period of the year, because of the blessings of Christmas and cold weather, while summer is the "fire sale season" for second- and third-rate films in the hands of film studios.

.

However, the emergence of "Jaws" completely changed everything.

It created a brilliant box office in the summer season that no one was optimistic about, and completely turned summer into the main release period for top Hollywood blockbusters, creating the concept of summer season.

Its success completely ushered in the era of Hollywood blockbusters. All Hollywood film companies began to invest in high-investment, high-tech, and fast-paced production models, and successfully created a series of gold-absorbing works that won huge box office.

To put it bluntly, it was "Jaws" that allowed Hollywood to successfully establish a complete and effective business model that is still in use today.

"Jaws" is an old movie. The film industry was not yet developed at that time. One-third of the nine million investment was spent on the mechanical shark model.

Even so, in the movie, the shark only showed a few faces, and only showed its full face in the final decisive battle.

But that's also what's great about it.

In order to save money, Spielberg had to take many more audience reaction shots and put a lot of effort into the language of the shots.

It can be said that the terrifying atmosphere in the early stage of the movie was created entirely by the director's lens language, appropriate soundtrack, and superb editing techniques.

When he was in school, Song Qi regarded this film that has gone down in history as a classic case. He broke it into pieces and watched it. After studying it countless times, he had already become familiar with it.

Now with the support of the system, he is confident to make a version that is scarier than the original version, which will definitely beat all horror movies in the world!
