My movie scared the global audience to tears

Chapter 365 Cave Monster Theory

Liu Hang saw this article when he was at work in the morning. When he saw the first paragraph of the article, he couldn't help but sneer. He scrolled down and clicked on the comment area, wanting to ridicule it.

But after opening the comment area, he found that the comment area was not as full of ridicule as he thought.

"At the beginning of reading, I thought it was just trolls talking nonsense, but after reading it, I feel like this author has something special!"

"The Jaws formula? Looking at it this way, it seems to make sense! Many of Song Qi's movies are indeed in this Jaws mode."

"Didn't Ouyang Yu say it in his movie review before? "Alien" is the great white shark in space."

"It feels like all horror movies can be modeled on Jaws!"

Seeing the comments from netizens, Liu Hang couldn't help but wonder, what's the Jaws routine? Is it serious?

He returned to the beginning of the article and continued reading along the lines he had just seen.

"Many people may say that I am talking nonsense, but I was not the first to put forward this point of view. Many people in the film circle have the same view, including the number one film critic Mr. Ouyang Yu, who also reviewed "Alien"

In a related film review, it was written that "Alien" is the Great White Shark in space, which shows that this view is the consensus of many professionals.

So what exactly is the Jaws routine? In fact, there is another way to say it, and that is the cave monster theory.

In ancient times, most people lived in caves and blocked the entrances with huge stones to isolate the caves into a safe space so that people could rest peacefully in the caves.

A closed cave is the source of people's sense of security.

But if after blocking the entrance of the cave, people discover that a ferocious beast has appeared in the cave and begins to massacre the people in the cave, then the sense of security is destroyed and terror is born.

The root of fear is the destruction of sense of security, and the essence of the destruction of sense of security is that life is threatened.

Therefore, the cave monster theory has been the most common formula in various horror stories since ancient times.

Almost all horror stories take place in caves, and the various monsters and monsters in horror stories are all variations of the beasts in the caves.

Take Song Qi’s movies as an example!

The ship in "Jaws" is the cave, and the great white shark is the beast.

The protagonists stay on the boat, which is theoretically safe, but the hull is damaged by the great white shark, the sense of security disappears, and the sense of fear appears.

The same goes for "Deep Cold". The cruise ship is a cave, just a strange cave. The sea monster is a beast. It is still a story about a beast hunting humans in the cave.

This year's "Alien" is the same.

Some people may question that Song Qi also pioneered zombie movies and zombie movie routines, as well as suspense and horror. How can we generalize?

Then you can recall, is the Umbrella Company in the first part of "Resident Evil" an underground confined space?

Are the biting zombies in the space human-shaped beasts?

Let's talk about "Mr. Zombie". Is Yi Zhuang in the movie a closed space? Is Mr. Ren a man-eating beast?

The same goes for "The Mummy", the city of death is closed, but the man-eating monsters become two, one is the mummy of Immorton, and the other is the scarab.

There are also suspenseful horror movies that you can also recall.

Does "Saw" take place in a secret room?

Does the story of "Fatal ID" take place in an RV campground isolated from traffic?

Does the story of "Terror Cruise" also take place on a large, airtight ship? But the beast turns into the heroine herself.

Therefore, Song Qi's film does not escape the framework of the traditional cave monster theory, but still makes changes based on this framework.

I see that many people on the Internet have begun to call Song Qi the godfather of horror movies. In fact, this is unnecessary and Song Qi cannot afford it.

I personally think that a person who can be called the godfather of horror movies must at least have made some outstanding contributions to horror movies.

With all due respect, Song Qi did not do this.

So I think it’s too early to call him the godfather of horror movies.”

After reading this article, Liu Hang was a little confused. He wanted to refute it for a while, but he didn't know where to start.

He re-read the article several times, but the more he read it, the more it made sense and he was a little convinced.

After recalling all Song Qi's movies, he suddenly discovered that it seemed like this was true!

Almost all of Song Qi's movies can be incorporated into the cave monster theory.

Could it be that Song Qi’s so-called innovations are just old tricks?

That’s not right! It’s not like that!

Obviously, every one of Song Qi's movies presents something new, so how come it has become the same old routine?

Liu Hang instinctively felt that there was something wrong with this article, but he didn't know how to refute it.

He frowned and looked through the comments section, trying to find anyone who felt the same as him.

Sure enough, many netizens raised questions.

"Why doesn't Song Qi innovate? Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand!"

"Why do trolls always find an angle to troll Song Qi? I'm almost dying of pain. I envy Song Qi's high box office, right?"

"Are you saying this too absolutely? If Song Qi has no innovation, why is everyone willing to watch his movies?"

"I also think it's a bit early to call him the godfather of horror movies, but Song Qi definitely made a huge and outstanding contribution to horror movies, and you can't erase it with just one or two sentences!"

Looking at the comments from netizens, Liu Hang's brows furrowed even more.

Although these netizens raised questions, they seemed to have not hit the point and failed to refute the author's point of view.

As he was flipping through the pages, he suddenly saw a comment from a netizen: Ouyang Yu responded! Go check out Ouyang Yu's updates before you talk! Stop trying to be faulty and nitpicking!

Ouyang Yu?

Upon seeing this, Liu Hang exited the app, opened the social platform, found Ouyang Yu's account, clicked on it, and saw the latest update.

“I just logged into my account and found that many netizens questioned me for anonymously posting an article about Song Qi.

Let me explain here that I have never written an article about Hei Songqi, and that article was not written by me.

I really like Song Qi's movies, as everyone knows, and even if I want to criticize Song Qi, I will never be anonymous. I am not the kind of person who does dirty things.

I just read that article and found it a bit ridiculous.

That was simply a person with bad intentions who wanted to stigmatize and attack Song Qi, and he also quoted words from my film review.

Let me make it clear that when I say "Alien" is the Great White Shark of space, I don't mean it in a derogatory sense, but in a complimentary sense.

"Jaws" is a very classic horror movie and Song Qi's famous work. Why do you think that comparing aliens to great white sharks is derogatory?

And the theory in that article is indeed very rogue. Let me explain to you now what kind of word game the author is playing!"
