Chapter 399 Creative wins
The original "The Shining" is a horror film produced by Warner Bros. directed by Stanley Kubrick, with Jack Nicholson, Shelley Duval and Danny Lloyd. The film was released on May 23, 1980.
The film tells the story of Jack Torrance, a writer who took his wife and children to work in a hotel winter gatekeeper in search of inspiration and was driven crazy by illusions.
In order to find inspiration and get rid of work frustration, writer Jack Torrance decided to take over the luxurious mountain hotel. There were rumors that the manager of the previous mountain hotel had inexplicably lost his mind, brutally killed the whole family and then committed suicide. Jack Torrance, who was focused on writing, took his wife Wendy and his son Danny to stay in this luxury hotel with him despite the advice of his friend Tony. They made new plans in their new home, and Jack also designed a lounge dedicated to creating for himself.
Even though their plan was good, Jack was unable to concentrate on writing after moving into the new home. He began to go in and out of hotel bars and other places, and various fantasies kept appearing in his mind, bloody and real. Jack also saw the ghost of the previous manager, and he constantly induced Jack to kill his wife and son. His wife Wendy undoubtedly saw Jack's manuscript paper and began to pay attention to Jack. Wendy found that Jack was becoming more and more abnormal Jack was inexplicably frightened.
At this time, misfortune came again, and Wendy found that their son's consciousness was becoming more and more chaotic. Helplessly, Wendy decided to ask for help from others. When Wendy picked up the radio, Jack showed his fierce look. Not only did he break the radio, but he also destroyed the snowmobile. He was extremely vicious and killed Tony who came to visit them, and raised his crazy axe to his wife and son.
The original "The Shining" has a very high praise for horror films.
There was once commented: There are not many truly bloody and violent scenes in "The Shining", but they make people frightened. The real horror lies in the psychology. Although the tone of the whole film is bright, the gloomy and terrifying atmosphere is often seen when you see the entire hotel, whether it is the whole or the part, the hall, corridor, or the maze. In addition, the intimate music and the exciting rhythm also add a lot of color to the film.
A month later, the land of China has passed the pain period with a "temporary nature".
Even in May when everything is given up, nearly 20 movies will still be released, so more will be released in June.
On June 16, "The Shining" was officially released worldwide.
This version of "The Shining" still continues the original atmosphere and even makes progress, and the loopholes in the original version have been made up.
How come the past 30 years have made significant improvements in both layout and production.
As expected...
"The Shining" has been released and has quickly become popular all over the world.
"Dreamworks horror master Liu Zhiyuan, his masterpiece "The Shining" has come to his horror. This time he got rid of the blood, violence, plasma, dismemberment and other horror elements of "Saw". The psychological shaping of "The Shining" is unparalleled. It is hard to think of a horror movie from China, with such a wonderful plot." - Film critic.
"I personally think it's even more terrifying than "Saw". I may be afraid of one day when watching "Saw", but "Shirt" has made it difficult for me to adapt for a long time. The psychological horror shaping is unparalleled..." - Netizen.
Almost all praises are available on the market, and even picky movie fans are impressed after seeing it.
"A writer, an ancient house, and an unexpected but reasonable accident created the success of "The Shining". Its charm lies largely in the blank and uncertainty of the plot meaning, which derives the horror in the audience's emotional experience." - Netease Review.
Speaking of which, "The Shining" is not only a horror film in the ordinary sense, but also a movie with profound connotations.
This is how high praise from netizens and the filmmakers comes from it.
If it weren't for the title of a horror movie, such a work could have won an award.
The original "The Shining" was not nominated for the Oscar at that time, which puzzled many people.
"It's indeed a movie that Brother Meng participated in the editing. Putting aside the horror atmosphere, its depth is even more than many movies. It's not difficult to imagine a classic movie that appears. Sometimes I'm very glad that there is a director like Brother Meng in our country." - Netizen.
"Actually? I'm talking about a person, Liu Zhiyuan. Everyone's understanding of him was Meng Ge's puppet. Now I don't think so anymore. A director who creates classics in succession cannot be a puppet as simple as it is. It is revealed that "The Shining" was successfully created by director Liu Zhiyuan and many well-known horror film screenwriters. Meng Ge has been instructor since then. Director Liu Zhiyuan has proved his value with three movies. His uniqueness in horror films is nowhere to be controlled in China. I heard that Meng Ge once jokingly called Liu Zhiyuan the future Chinese horror master. Now I want to say that director Liu Zhiyuan deserves his reputation as he has achieved success." - Netizen.
"The Shining" won more than 6 million yuan in the domestic box office on the first day, sweeping away the recent downturn in domestic box office.
Although I can't catch up with "Saw", which has become a terrifying giant.
However, it is rare to have such a box office on the first day.
In North America, "The Shining" scored $4.71 million in box office on the first day. When interviews learned that many people have said that it was for Liu Zhiyuan's name, and it was not simply because of Wang Meng's reputation.
Europe. "The Shining" won a box office of $5.19 million, especially this kind of movie, which seems to be in line with the appetite of Europeans. Therefore, the European film industry, which has always been famous for being tricky, praised "The Shining" very well.
On the first day of Asia and Japan, it won a box office of more than 3 million US dollars. Many Japanese fans praised it: "No less than the horror films of "Midnight Bell" and "Gayako"."
"The Shining" deserves Wang Meng's expectations for it, with a global box office of nearly $20 million on the first day.
When its popularity reached Dengfeng a week later, the global box office also reached nearly 60 million US dollars.
Such achievements not only surprised many foreign movie fans, but also found them incredible by the domestic media.
But thinking about it seems that this should have been done, how long have I forgotten? Horror films like "Saw" are no longer small fuss in China, and they often receive high box office and praise internationally.
Originally, the media thought "Saw" was an accident. Now that I don't think so, horror films have become a symbol of low-cost, short production period and high box office, especially DreamWorks horror films.
This has also led to many foreigners who know little about DreamWorks and always think that DreamWorks is a company that specializes in horror movies.
Domestic film and television companies and media reflect on it while puzzled?
"Is horror movies a sign of making money?" Someone couldn't help but think.
After thinking about it, I came up with: "It's like this, is horror movies really a benchmark for making money? But..."
"But! It's only limited to DreamWorks!" I felt uncomfortable when I thought about it.
Does DreamWorks make less money? You can’t compare with anything you do?
Such thinking has led many domestic media and film and television companies to reflect on why?
An explanation from a hardcore film critic in DreamWorks made everyone's eyes lit up, Xia Liyan pointed out:—
"The success of "The Shining" is said to be another success of DreamWorks, but rather to be a success of excellence. Those who know DreamWorks know that from Wang Meng to every employee of its company, their style has always been perfect. It has never existed to cheat money and fool the audience. It is impossible for a fight to withdraw.
When "This Man Comes from Earth", Wang Meng succeeded, with a small cost and a big box office. Generally, according to the idea of many companies, continue to do this, continue to produce it at a low cost or even roughly, and then withdraw after making a few movies. Most companies will think this way. After all, with the reputation of "This Man Comes from Earth", you can indeed make another profit.
However, Wang Meng did not. Even if he knew that such a movie would make money, he would not use the mentality of making money to deceive the audience. Instead, he kept innovating and striving for excellence.
In fact, you will know that after Wang Meng's "This Man...", we saw more than a dozen movies, following the trend of "soft science fiction" under the banner of Wang Meng. How about it?
Later, everyone learned that in addition to one or two themes winning, other purely nonsense money-making behaviors also led to a good theme being completed like this.
Later, Wang Meng's "You, the Deskmate" created a youth campus genre. After that, Wang Meng continued to strive for excellence and make continuous progress. Some of our producers still followed the trend and made money. Gradually, this kind of theme was almost ruined.
Given these two examples, it can be reflected that DreamWorks has always been striving for excellence with an attitude of worthy of movie fans. They have always won by relying on creativity and conscience. Even if there are many opportunities to make money, they will not do it?
Now it’s in exchange for it – DreamWorks’ production must be a benchmark for high-quality products.
If the theme is added, it will be another "The Shining"
I advise some film and television companies that it is now an era of creativity to win, and it is an era of high-quality products. It is no longer advisable to just leave when you make money. It is better to make high-quality movies seriously."
