My movie scared the global audience to tears

The success of the Horror Film Festival exceeded everyone's expectations.

On September 24, the Zhongyuan period officially ended, and the box office data for the period was also released.

During the entire period, the total box office of the domestic film market reached 46.357 billion.

Among them, 27.831 billion is from the box office of "Terror Cruise", and the remaining 18.526 billion is from the box office of other movies in the same period.

Unlike other movies of the same period, "Terror Cruise" adopted a global release model and also received a box office of 11.684 billion in overseas markets, bringing the total box office to 39.515 billion.

With a box office of nearly 40 billion, it has set a new record for the historical box office in the mid-year period.

But no matter how high Song Qi's box office is, people will not be surprised. After all, he is the current box office king, so it is not surprising how much box office he gets.

What really surprised everyone was the total box office revenue of the remaining movies of 18.526 billion.

This number is a bit astonishing!

You know, just a few years ago, the total box office of the mid-year movie was still around 3 to 4 billion, and it could not even touch the edge of the five major film festivals.

Later, under the leadership of Song Qi, some follow-up movies began to take off, and the total box office for the period also began to rise, gradually reaching the level of five to six billion, six to seven billion.

Last year, Song Qi returned to the Zhongyuan stage after several years.

He created a wave of popularity. Excluding his box office, the total box office of other mid-year movies exceeded 8 billion.

This is already an unprecedented achievement, considering that the number of movies released in the mid-year period last year was just over forty.

On average, the box office of each movie is nearly 200 million.

This box office can not only feed people, but also make them fat.

Last year during the Mid-Yuan period, there were two movies with a box office of over RMB 2 billion, one with a box office of over RMB 1 billion, four with a box office of over RMB 500 million, and more than ten movies with a box office of over RMB 100 million.

No matter in any period, it can get more than 1 billion in box office, which is already a very impressive achievement.

The vast majority of film production costs are less than 300 million, and even if promotion and distribution are included, the total cost rarely exceeds 500 million.

Therefore, if you have a box office of one billion, you can already make half of it.

Even if you give more than half to the theater chain, you can still make two to three hundred million.

The vast majority of film and television companies only make a few hundred million in profits a year. With a movie like this, it can basically make the company have a good year.

This is based on the cost of large-investment movies such as science fiction and history. The investment cost of horror movies is generally lower, and you will make more money.

Therefore, the number of movies with a box office of over 1 billion in a schedule has become an important factor in the industry to roughly evaluate the development of the schedule.

This year, the first Horror Film Festival is scheduled to be held during the mid-year period. The main purpose is to promote the box office market during the mid-year period.

But also because of the first Horror Film Festival, a large number of films were released during the mid-year holiday period this year, with the total number directly exceeding one hundred.

It is not a good thing for movies to be released together, because if the audience base does not change much, this will only lead to the intensification of the 28-year-old effect, that is, the head-first effect.

Because when faced with too many choices, audiences often choose to follow the herd and choose movies that are more popular and safer to watch.

If you want to improve this situation, you can only increase the audience base, which is also the mission of the film festival.

Therefore, the organizers of the Horror Film Festival and related leaders are also under great pressure.

In preliminary estimates, everyone believed that this film festival would be considered a success if it could increase the total box office of the scheduled movies by no less than 50%.

However, the final box office growth more than doubled, which greatly exceeded everyone's expectations.

This marks a complete success for the film festival.

This success also gave the organizers and relevant leaders great confidence, and subsequent proposals to launch other types of film festivals have also entered the discussion agenda.

However, for ordinary viewers, the topic that attracts the most attention at this film festival is "Terror Cruise".

Discussions about this movie have never stopped since its release until the end of its schedule.

Even after the screening, there were still many viewers discussing the plot of the movie.

Unlike all Song Qi's previous films, the plot itself of this film has aroused controversy among countless viewers.

Just in terms of their understanding of the plot, many viewers hold different opinions.

After watching the movie, many viewers did not understand the development logic of the plot at all, but did not realize how powerful it was.

Some viewers were deeply attracted by the tight logic of the plot and were keen to find loopholes in the plot, but found nothing.

Some viewers have also begun to sort out the plot logic settings online, explaining the development of the plot and the logical core of the story to viewers who have not understood the movie.

Some viewers believe that this is a movie that draws on the theory of parallel time and space. The multiple selves that Xiaojie encounters in the movie actually come from different parallel time and space. Because time and space intersect, they end up on the same ship.

Some viewers believe that the heroine Xiaojie actually died at the scene of the car accident, and that everything that happened on the boat was actually a hallucination she had when she was dying.

These theories have aroused the recognition of many netizens and extensive discussions.

However, what most viewers are more interested in is which one is more brain-burning compared to "Deadly ID" and "Inception".

To this end, netizens have also conducted several waves of voting activities, but the results of each event have not been recognized by everyone.

Therefore, until "The Cruise" was released, the ranking game regarding these three movies has not stopped.

At the same time, Song Qi and An Qin have already returned to the capital and are filming a new movie to be released during the Spring Festival.

The sci-fi horror movie Song Qi plans to shoot is exactly the sci-fi horror masterpiece "Alien" that has been recorded in history.

This is a great sci-fi movie, and its great thing is that it completely redefined the sci-fi horror movie subgenre.

Its aesthetic style and metaphorical techniques also led to the birth of a series of related series of works after its release.

Even in subsequent science fiction classics such as "The Matrix" and "The City of Souls", its profound influence can be seen.

In order to shoot this classic science fiction horror movie, Song Qi also started preparing from a long time ago.

During his two years of rest, he drew some related movie concept manuscripts intermittently.

After Jiang Huai's death, he decided to make this movie, so he drew up the concept drawing and handed it over to the props department and set decoration department at the Miracle Film and Television Base, and a special studio was set aside to decorate the movie background.

Song Qi plans to shoot this movie using real props, scenery and special effects.

If you want to capture the classic Chris Foss-style space gothic aesthetic in the movie, you will definitely not be able to achieve perfection by relying on special effects. You must use exquisite props.

This is a big challenge for both the props and scenery departments of the film and television base.
