"Death Comes 2" has been a hit all over the world and has attracted overwhelming comments.

The most important thing is that this movie is so bloody!

You said it's not violent? But the blood makes people violent.

Wouldn't you say it's not exciting without fighting action?

But he died violently and died wonderfully.

Especially the serial car accident on the highway at the beginning can be said to be a classic.

Film review:

""Death Comes 2" can be said to have surpassed the first one. The opening scene was stunning and stimulated the audience's psychology.

This serial car accident on the highway made my heart skip a beat when I saw it, as if it was happening right next to me.

So much so that it makes people wonder whether the car accident in life is an event where death comes?

In the second film, the death method is more tragic and more bloody than in the first film. It is not an exaggeration to call this movie a plasma blockbuster.

The entire film has a tighter rhythm than the previous one. The tricks are also more innovative, taking advantage of the audience's psychological weaknesses.

When the first person dies, the audience is led to guess, but the audience is always unable to guess.

When the second person dies, the audience is affected by the first death and thinks that the second person will be the same, but the second person's death does not have that many twists and turns.

When the third person died, he thought he was hooked, but it turned out that the elevator was stuck.

…”

Unfortunately, there are not many good reviews, but more negative reviews.

"The rhythm of the second part is too messy and not relaxed enough.

In the first part, because of the search for clues, confrontation, and solution to the death, the film has a decryption element, which is also what attracted the audience in the first part.

Because the second film has examples from the first film, the characters in it want to avoid death according to the cases in the first film, which speeds up the pace and loses the most important decryption element.

The audience knows the rules of death, and the characters only solve the problem according to the method in the first part. The only interesting thing is the way of death.

In addition, the design that Eugene cannot succeed in shooting himself is too far-fetched. And if Eugene cannot commit suicide, then by the same token, Kimberly cannot commit suicide..."

"The review of "Death Comes 2" is bad, so I can only give it one star.

The first thing that caught the audience's heart was the shadow of death. Even the memorial to the dead gave the whole film an atmosphere of sadness and horror. It was not just about the pattern of death and how to die.

By showing the feelings of relatives of the deceased, people feel that the living people suffer the most.

In the first part, the protagonist Alex is suspected by the police, hated by his friends and parents, misunderstood by the surviving teacher, and other conflicts, which make the audience feel more sympathetic.

What's in the second part?

There is no grief for the deceased, only death. There is no psychological portrayal, and the plot is superficial, as if the entire film is about a hundred ways to die.

Kimberly, the protagonist of the second film, does not carry too much other people's emotions and burdens. This makes the whole film super dense, but loses its weight.

…”

Netizens each have their own likes and dislikes.

""Death Comes 2" is great. It turns out that the people who died in the second part were all because of the involvement in the first part. Those who died but did not die.

It can be said that the list of the dead in the second part was brought together because of the first part.

So, is it possible that because a few people did not die in the second part, their impact will generate a third death list?"

"It can be seen from "Death Comes 2" that because people died in the first part, those who died but were not dead will be hunted by the God of Death.

At the end of the film, it can be seen that due to the influence of the people on the Death's list, people who were not dead originally had an accident, but were lucky enough to survive, and will also be hunted by Death.

If it weren't for the people on the Death List who broke into the farm in a car accident, the farmer's son Brian would not have been nearly hit and killed by a news interview vehicle. Brian was saved by Luo Duan, and ultimately failed to escape Death at the end of the film.

kill."

"Many people only notice the superficial phenomena, but fail to realize that the details can really be hidden.

Kimberly goes to see the second deceased person who has his teeth checked. Maybe the second deceased person will not die. Don’t say that even if Kimberly doesn’t yell, the second deceased person will chase pigeons away. As the film continues to develop, such hints become more and more obvious.

The more obvious it is.

Claire, the survivor in the first film, would not have left the hospital and would not have died if Kimberly had not gone to find her.

What does it mean? It means that even if you hide, the God of Death will ask the people on the second list of the God of Death to find you, implicate you, and wipe you out.

For example, if Kimberly had not mistakenly believed that the pregnant woman was someone on Death's list, several people would not have driven to find the pregnant woman, leading to an almost collision on the road where they met and were designed by Death.

It was also because of Kimberly's misjudgment that she was implicated in the death of the farmer's son Brian.

…”

"Death Comes 2" performed well at the box office during its first week of release, but started to show a decline in its second week. This made Huang Yiyu and Lion Pictures very worried.

In the end, the total global box office of "Dead Man 2" was only 100 million U.S. dollars, which was less than the first film.

Wu Long knew that the production cost of the original "Dead Man 2" was US$2 million more than the first one, but the total global box office was only over US$90 million, which was US$112 million more than the first one.

There should be fewer knives.

Today, this version of "Death Comes 2" relies on his reputation as a screenwriter to barely earn 100 million, which is not a loss of face.

"Dead Man 2" has just been released, and Weiner Pictures' American version of "The Grudge" has also been released.

Three weeks after the release of the American version of "The Grudge", "The Deadly Doll" directed by Moon and Werner was released.

Because "Blair Witch" gave them a bad reputation, they didn't dare to promote "The Doll".

In terms of publicity, avoid publicizing their names.

Other film companies, including Lion Pictures and Weiner Pictures, are also paying attention to this "Deadly Doll". After all, Wen Zhiren and Werner are the ones who have created miracles. Now everyone is concerned about these two people.

Marketing genius aside, how was the movie going?

Wen Zhiren and Werner themselves were not very sure about the films they made.

The box office on the day of the premiere was average. In the following days, the box office did not increase. In the following days, the box office began to decline slowly.

In the end, "The Grudge" was released less than three months before it was forced to be cancelled. The American version of "The Grudge," which was released three weeks earlier than "The Grudge," has not yet been released and is still barely holding on to its screenings.

.

This is a serious blow to Wen Zhiren and Werner!

They constantly read movie reviews and fans' opinions in an attempt to find the reason for their failure.

"The box-office failure of "The Deadly Doll" is related to the poor reputation of Vincent Moon and Warner. Many fans found out that the film was made by these two people who deceived them, so they decided not to watch it.

Maybe it's because "The Blair Witch Project" was too rough. When they made "The Doll", in order to prove that they could make movies that weren't rough, they made "The Doll" too refined.

Look at the "Dead Man" series, which has grossed over 100 million in box office. It can be regarded as a model of horror movies, and it is not as exquisite as "The Deadly Doll".

It seems that Wen Zhiren and Werner don't really understand horror movies. They are too delicate and look like works of art, which actually weakens the horror characteristics.

The two of them are only suitable for marketing."

"Horror movies are not fantasy films, nor are they science fiction films. The reason for the failure of "Dolls" is that Moon and Werner made "Dolls" into a fantasy or science fiction film.

Too much use of CG special effects weakens the sense of horror."

"The process of the horror scenes appearing is too slow, and there is no sudden sense of fear. Do you want to learn "The Ring"? However, Wen Zhiren and Werner did not grasp the essence of "The Ring".

"Midnight Ring" pays attention to layer by layer and gradual rendering. It pays attention to imprecision and blurred images.

Thus psychologically, the terror is pushed to its peak.

Horror comes from personal imagination. "Deadly Doll" has too many details and too strong texture, which makes the audience lack imagination.

The horror scenes appear too slowly, which makes the audience develop a defensive mentality, resulting in weak horror feelings..."

"Wen Zhiren and Werner failed to get rid of the element of witches and brought witches into the film. They were set as dolls after being cursed by witches.

This actually distracts from the horror point. Is it the witch that scares people, or the doll cursed by the witch that scares people?

If the elements of the witch were removed and the doll was only set as an evil thing, such a setting might make the audience more frightened. There would be no extra witch to distract the audience from the horror.

In other words, the film only hints at the end that the doll is an object cursed by the witch. Destroying the doll will not end the terrible things.

Instead, let the audience and the protagonist know about the witch prematurely, investigate and solve the problem in the direction of the witch, and ignore the doll.

…”

"Many people have commented on "The Doll", but I don't think they are right. They said that they didn't watch "The Doll" because they were deceived by "The Blair Witch Project".

Such comments do not understand us at all.

Although we were deceived because of "Blair Witch" and said we would not go see Moon Zhiren and Werner's movie, in fact, many of us bought tickets to watch it.

However, after watching it, we feel that "The Doll" is not even as good as "The Blair Witch Project".

The only thing that can compare is that it is clear, does not shake around, and is more detailed than "Blair Witch".

However, we found that "Deadly Doll" paid too much attention to the details of horror films, and the storyline was too patchwork and confusing..."

Wen Zhiren and Werner became more and more frustrated as they watched. It seemed that everything they said on the Internet was right. Even for ordinary movie fans, everything they said seemed reasonable.

The two of them stayed in the house and drank alcohol for three days.

"Perhaps it's because the schedule coincides with the American version of "The Grudge", so the box office is not good." Warner comforted Wen Zhiren, and at the same time comforted himself.

"No, it has nothing to do with the American version of "The Grudge," it's just that we didn't shoot it well."

Werner blamed himself.

"I didn't listen to your advice and insisted on increasing investment. If we only shot a few million dollars, we wouldn't have such a big psychological burden."

"No, if we only make a few million dollars, we will think that the failure is due to too little investment, as you said. Now, we have no excuse. We can only admit our failure and face ourselves."

"How about we ask Brother Long for advice?"

"I'm afraid of disturbing him."

"But we can't find the reason ourselves. Just looking at the comments online, theirs may not be right."

"Okay. Let's fly to find Brother Long."

"Frozen" is an animated film and does not require filming. It is produced by Shi Lei's film special effects company. Wu Long definitely cannot stay in Haolaihu, but completes the production together with Shi Lei.

In the imperial capital, Wen Zhiren and Werner met Wu Long.

"Brother Long, we failed." As soon as they met, Wen Zhiren admitted his failure sheepishly.

Werner was also a little uncomfortable. "Brother Long, we messed up."

Wu Long smiled and poured coffee for the two of them.

"You guys care too much about gains and losses. "Blair Witch" has damaged your reputation, and it will take time to make up for it. However, fans will forget it, so you don't have to worry. The main reason for this failure is that fans still hold grudges. You continue to film.

, your next film’s box office will be better.”

Hearing Wu Long's comforting words, Wen Zhiren did not agree. However, Werner felt that what Wu Long said might be right.

"Really? Brother Long, aren't you comforting us?" Warner wanted to get Wu Long's approval.

Wu Long wanted to speak to confirm, but Wen Zhiren spoke first.

"No, no, no, Brother Long just said this to comfort us. If you ask this, will Brother Long say it's not true? If that were the case, those comments on the Internet would not have so many different voices, but would be one-sided.

He said he refused to watch our movie."

Hearing what Wen Zhiren said, Werner no longer thought so. Fortunately, he also wanted to ask Wu Long for advice. If he agreed with Wu Long's comfort, it would be hard to ask Wu Long for advice.

"Brother Long, I need your advice." Wen Zhiren said sincerely.

Of course Werner can't lag behind.

"Brother Long, I also need your guidance."

Wu Long thought for a while and said seriously:

"Actually, what I just said is not just comfort, but it does have that factor. If I say that if you make another movie, the box office will come back, do you believe it?"

Warner nodded and Wen Zhiren shook his head. Warner noticed that Wen Zhiren shook his head and immediately changed his mind and shook his head too.

Wu Long didn't care about Werner's attitude and change.

"So, are you sure you want my advice?"

They both nodded at the same time.

"However, my advice is still what I have said before. If I say it directly, it is just with my own distinctive characteristics. Everyone's style and characteristics are different, and my style and characteristics may not be suitable for you.

It would be better for you to explore on your own so that you can understand your own things."

"But, Brother Long, I'm really confused now!" Wen Zhiren said, "I really need your guidance, otherwise I don't think I can get out."

Werner thought for a while and then said: "Brother Long, without your guidance, maybe we would go down the wrong path."

"Let's do this, I will give you another script, and you will help me make another film. It's better not to mention my name and pretend that it has nothing to do with me. You will learn, understand, and refine your own characteristics by making this film.

"

"Are you still willing?"

Wen Zhiren did not hesitate: "I do!"

"I do too." Werner did not lag behind.

"Okay, just wait for me for two days and I will find time to write a script for you."

Two days later, Wen Zhiren and Werner received the script.

"Spiritual: Ghost Records"

The two opened the script and were immediately shocked by the content.

"Brother Long, is there a typo here, two zeros missing?"

"Brother Long, the production cost is only fifteen thousand US dollars? Is this a typo?"

The two of them pointed at the digits with their fingers again to make sure they had read it correctly.

If it's 1.5 million U.S. dollars, or even 150,000 U.S. dollars, they can understand it. But what can these 15,000 U.S. dollars be used for?

A bad movie like "The Blair Witch Project" costs $60,000, not to mention $18 million in marketing expenses.

Now this "Mobile: Ghost Chronicles" doesn't even have a marketing or publicity fee of 10,000, how can it be played?

The two of them looked at Wu Long and shouted in their hearts at the same time:
Chapter completed!
