My movie scared the global audience to tears

"First of all, the cave monster theory he said is correct. Most horror movies can be substituted for that theory, but it does not mean that it is an outdated old routine, because its core logic is the instinct of human fear.

Will instinct become obsolete?

People in ancient times had to eat, and people today also have to eat. Eating is for appetite and to give the body energy to survive.

There were eating scenes in movies a hundred years ago, and there are also eating scenes in movies now. Does it mean that eating scenes are outdated?

Do our filmmakers have to skip meals because of innovation? Isn’t this nonsense?

My understanding of fear itself is the same as his. The essence of fear is the destruction of a sense of security.

But this is the instinct of all human beings and even all life. Why did the author of that article use this theory as an argument to prove that Song Qi is not worthy of being called the godfather of horror movies?

Does he think that only by breaking through this framework can he be qualified to be the godfather of horror movies?

This is even more nonsense. Even God can’t do this. Why would he let a man do it?

This is like a good swimmer being nicknamed a swordfish by a fan, and he jumped out and said that the good swimmer cannot live in the water like a real swordfish.

Of course a good swimmer cannot live in water! He is human! He has no gills!

Song Qi cannot change the nature of the birth of fear in all lives. He is a human being, not a god.

The so-called Godfather of Horror Movies is a joking title given by fans. It is no different from being called the Master of Horror Movies or the God of Horror Movies.

There are no fixed standards for evaluating these titles, and there is no question of who is qualified and who is not.

So, why did the author of that article draw attention to Song Qi’s joking title to make it more important?

I don't know what the problem is behind this, I'm just stating what I see.

As far as I know, Song Qi is indeed the best director in making horror movies in the country and even the world, bar none!

Moreover, his contribution to horror movies is unprecedented, and his innovations are visible to passers-by.

Whether it is a horror movie or a horror story, the essence is to destroy the sense of security, so that readers and viewers can feel the crisis encountered by the protagonist in the story through their ability to empathize.

Then let yourself have fearful empathy, but in a safe environment, experience the safe fear stimulation.

It can even be said that all horror story creators are re-developing the theory of cave monsters.

As long as new ideas can be developed during the second development, it is considered an innovation.

Throughout the development history of horror movies, has any director made more innovations than Song Qi? I’m afraid not!

Let’s not talk about monster movies. The level of innovation is there, but not high. It’s nothing more than enlarging the beasts with special effects.

However, the degree of innovation in "Jurassic Park" is still very high. Song Qi developed a new world of reptile dinosaurs, and used it to develop a terrifying creature like Godzilla that surpassed the giant beast. This is still very good.

Strong.

I think Song Qi's real innovation started with "Resident Evil".

Song Qi created the concept of zombies in "Resident Evil" and created the undead culture of the walking dead, which had a great impact on the horror film industry.

In one fell swoop, he promoted the emergence of a large category of horror images, just like the original concept of monsters and ghosts, which can open up countless possibilities.

This is a good thing with immeasurable merit. Just look at how many directors in the industry make a living by making low-budget zombie movies or zombie movies.

Isn't this innovation?

This is a huge innovation, isn’t it?

It is not easy to introduce a new horror image. It is not possible to just introduce a horror image and gain public recognition.

For example, some people are afraid of dogs, while others think dogs are cute or delicious.

If a movie is released that uses dogs as a scary image, the audience will definitely only be those who are afraid of dogs. Wouldn’t the rest of the audience not want it?

Therefore, if you want to introduce a new horror image, you must start from the instinct and genetic point of view. Only then is it possible.

Take "Resident Evil" as an example, what is the scary thing about zombies?

Some people may say that zombies look like corpses and can move, so they are scary.

The author also believes that zombies are the embodiment of the beast concept in the cave monster theory, but I don't think so.

From "Resident Evil" to "Mr. Zombie", whether zombies or zombies, what's really scary about them is that they bite people?

No, after being bitten by them, they will be infected and become monsters like them!

Song Qi is not using zombies and zombies to scare the audience, he is using T-virus and corpse poison to scare people!

What is the nature of the T virus and corpse poison? It is an infectious disease. It is a genetic memory formed by human beings after witnessing countless invisible infectious diseases that killed countless people.

Human beings will instinctively avoid dead bodies to avoid contracting something from the corpses, which may lead to their own infection and death.

So, from this point of view, Song Qi has already made great innovations in horror movie theory.

Of course, you can also say that infectious diseases are another form of cave monsters, a disembodied monster. Its essence is still human beings' fear of death and the destruction of their sense of security.

But before "Resident Evil", I didn't see any horror movie with this kind of design.

From this point alone, Song Qi can definitely leave his name in the entire film history, not to mention Song Qi's innovations in suspense horror movies.

Suspenseful horror movies are not a new genre, but in terms of storytelling, Song Qi definitely beats all horror movie directors.

Multiple story lines in "Saw" ran in parallel, and in the end it was revealed that the murderer was right next to him, which showed a reversal on the faces of all the viewers. Isn't it innovative?

"Fatal ID" introduces the concept of multiple personalities into film story creation for the first time, using visual personalities to express the changes in human nature. Isn't this innovative?

Isn't the infinite loop of "Horror Cruise" and the sense of fate and despair that can never be escaped innovative?

If you can't even see these innovations, then I can only wonder whether the person who wrote that article really understands movies!

Including this time's "Alien", although I said that its story is "Jaws" that takes place in space, I also said that Song Qi showed groundbreaking aesthetic ideas in this movie, which is very important to the film.

It has a great influence on the entire film industry.

Isn't this innovation?

I may be a little excited, but as I write now, I suddenly realize that with Song Qi’s current achievements and his contribution to horror movies and even the entire film industry, it is not necessarily inappropriate to call him the godfather of horror movies!

Of course, thousands of people have thousands of eyes, and my remarks only represent my opinions and are for reference only.

I believe everyone’s evaluation of Director Song Qi is fair. I personally think that Song Qi is a rare talent that is rare in fifty years. The entire film industry is lucky to have him!"

After reading Ouyang Yu's entire article, Liu Hang was so excited that he slapped his thigh: "Well said!"
