There is no designated, specific genre for “remote” films.
Science fiction films, low-budget dramas, romance films, and the upcoming "Titanic" is a disaster romance film.
In fact, there are basically no restrictions on classification.
But in fact, horror movies are a very important series classification of "remote".
The "Paranormal Activity" series that opened the door to the international box office, and the "Saw" series directed by James later, although they received mixed reviews, made huge profits with small investments, which made people jealous.
Of course, many people know that "remote" movies have a characteristic, that is, their scripts are very creative, in addition to a hint of suspense, the sense of reality is very thrilling...
Therefore, many brave guys are not only interested in this inexplicable deception and hype, but they are also quite interested in this "Final Destination" itself.
Director Xu Qifeng is one of these people.
Xu Qifeng is a rare domestic science fiction director who has not been affected by Lu Yuan's impact in recent years. His directorial career has not only been smooth but also has been making great strides. In fact, he is very interested in every movie of "Long Distance". Basically, he will not miss any of it. In a sense, Xu Qifeng can be regarded as half a fan of "Long Distance" movies.
Early in the morning on October 13, Xu Qifeng flew thousands of miles to the United States. After putting down his luggage, he went straight to the Migos Cinema.
Final Destination is not shown in China. If you really want to watch it, you can only go to the United States or other countries to watch the premiere...
You mean pirated?
Pirated copies do exist, but it is impossible to watch the premiere. In addition, China has gradually tightened its crackdown on piracy in recent years, so it is generally difficult to see pirated movies.
"Want some popcorn?"
"Thank you, no thanks."
"Okay, the movie is about to start. If you need anything, please press the call button next to you."
"good."
Migos Cinemas’ high-end VIP treatment is quite good.
The blonde girl with long legs gave Xu Qifeng a charming smile, then politely turned and left, leaving behind a tempting fragrance.
Xu Qifeng took a deep breath, and his mood became extremely happy.
His mind was filled with the smile of the blonde girl.
or……
Go ask this young lady for her contact information?
Xu Qifeng got excited.
At this moment, a burst of music sounded...
“'Remote' takeaway, safe at home, safe to eat!”
"'Remote' games, a paradise at your fingertips, creating happiness with your heart!"
"'Remote' entertainment, your best choice..."
“…”
“…”
The beautiful music does not bring about a beautiful painting style.
Instead, it followed the usual practice of making a "remote" advertisement...
Xu Qifeng suddenly found that this advertisement was really useful.
His mind was full of the young lady just now, but now it is full of the word "remote", and he even repeats it over and over again, as if brainwashing...
This is the same thing every time I watch a "remote" movie.
Xu Qifeng shook his head.
After a commercial, the prologue of the movie finally began.
As the prologue of the movie began, a blood-red light gradually lit up on the screen...
"Do you believe that there is a God in this world?"
Then, a strange voice suddenly rang out.
If someone familiar with this sentence heard this, they would definitely know that it was the sound coming from Lu Yuan's ears.
Then, as Lu Yuan's voice gradually faded, the entire screen gradually changed from blood red to dark. At the same time, a strange sound was heard in the dark light. Then the camera gradually moved to books, and strange titles such as "Death of a Salesman" began to appear in one of the books. Then darkness fell again, and the side of an electric fan appeared. Then the electric fan gradually swayed and swayed until it swayed onto a book. Then the blood red title of "Final Destination" appeared on the screen...
When Xu Qifeng saw this scene, he became more curious about the movie.
At the same time, the question "Do you believe that there is a God in this world?" kept echoing in his mind.
Is this a horror movie...
Or what?
Xu Qifeng frowned.
besides……
Why are there twice as many security guards in the cinema than before?
Why are there more medical personnel?
…
Lu Yuan was actually also watching Final Destination in the VIP room of Migos Cinemas.
"Do you believe that there is a God in this world?"
The original version of "Final Destination" did not have this line.
But Lu Yuan added this sentence for some reason, because he had watched all the movies in the "Final Destination" series, and he suddenly felt that adding this sentence could really make people feel a sense of suspense and impact.
What is God?
It is an illusory existence that runs counter to the world and science.
but……
Can the plot in the "Final Destination" series be described as coincidence?
Say there is a God?
No!
What if there is no God?
If there is no God, then what is going on?
The plot gradually begins.
A smile appeared on Lu Yuan's lips. He was very satisfied after watching the exquisite plot scenes.
In fact, the plot of this version of "Final Destination" is similar to the original "Final Destination", but Lu Yuan has changed some details, including some goof shots, some unreasonable parts, and some seemingly crude plots have been completely refined by Lu Yuan, trying to avoid the boring feeling of plot connection...
The original world's "Final Destination" is indeed a rare movie among horror films, but it still has many flaws.
And this world...
Maybe, but better!
…
Xu Qifeng quietly watched the plot of "Final Destination" gradually unfold...
Xu Qifeng looked down at the information about Final Destination.
Then, he found out that all the actors were newcomers whom he had never heard of.
Apart from this, there are only a few lines of introduction to "Final Destination".
"A bloody incident that occurred during a trip..."
Then?
And then it was gone.
There is a blank space below.
How can this be considered an introduction? This is too shoddy.
Xu Qifeng felt that he was no longer able to complain.
Finally he put the information down and looked up to watch the movie.
On the screen, Xu Qifeng saw the protagonist Alex.
Xu Qifeng felt that Alex was a little strange at first sight, especially when he was saying goodbye to his parents. The camera turned to the plane in the room, accompanied by the strange music and the blood-red number 1.80 on the wall. Xu Qifeng actually had a strange feeling...
Is this a hint?
What is the hint?
As a director, Xu Qifeng naturally knew that this plot could not appear for no reason, and big-name directors like James would never shoot meaningless shots.
Xu Qifeng frowned and continued to watch the plot after the protagonist arrived at the airport.
At the same time, he had begun to become alert.
He felt something was about to happen.
Of course, other moviegoers in the cinema didn't feel anything. Instead, they were whispering to each other. Some viewers even felt that the beginning of the movie was a bit bland, completely different from the simple and crude beginning of "Saw".
Of course, some careful viewers understood the hints at the beginning of the film, such as the departure time before boarding the plane and the birth date of the male protagonist Alex, plus the previous time of 1.80 and flight number 180...
Birthday is the same as take-off time, and there is also the word destination...
What does the end point represent?
Represents death!
These details combined with various hints instantly made some people feel terrified.
Although the movie hasn't officially started yet, some people already feel nervous.
When everyone is on board...
…
Xu Qifeng's heart suddenly began to beat faster.
The tension of the protagonist and others, as well as a series of confusing noises around the plane...
All of this made Xu Qifeng feel like there was a plane crash.
In the cinema, people who had started to whisper to each other suddenly stopped.
Then……
The plane shook for a moment, then calmed down.
When the protagonist and others thought that all this was just a normal reaction of the plane, suddenly...
Lights flashed, electricity sounded, and the luggage compartments all collapsed. The calm passengers suddenly became panicked. Not only that...
"boom!"
After a burst of explosions, Xu Qifeng was startled!
An air crash is coming?
Lightning, flames, the hatch opened, and everyone fell...
Panic, horror...
As a series of screams sounded on the big screen, movie fans also began to feel a sense of panic.
Although they are all new actors, their acting skills are extremely superb and realistic!
…
Is this a science fiction film that predicts the future?
It doesn't look very creative.
No, it's impossible for Lu Yuan to write such an uncreative script.
Andrew frowned after seeing that everything was just an illusion, or precognitive ability, of the young man named Alex.
Then he shook his head.
As the plot began to unfold, one of the people who escaped from danger was entangled to death by the steel wire of the sprinkler head for some unknown reason. After trying to break free but being completely unable to do so, Andrew suddenly felt an unprecedented sense of oppression.
This way of dying...
It may seem like a mysterious force, but in fact it is an "accident" that is entirely possible!
This sense of reality makes people extremely nervous!
He suddenly thought of a line from the movie...
“This is a movie adapted from true events”
Of course, this is not what we are looking forward to in the movie. When Alex and the heroine went to the funeral home to find out the cause of their friend's death, they saw his body.
While checking on his friend's body, his hand suddenly moved!
Then……
A girl's scream was heard in the cinema, and Andrew was also startled.
A horror movie gimmick?
"There is no such thing as a vain death or a tragic death, only a destined death!"
"Whether you're on a plane or off a plane, you're the god of death..."
A word from the night watchman at the funeral home gave the whole movie a dramatic atmosphere.
Andrew was also attracted by this atmosphere.
Combined with the death of the previous person, Andrew felt a sense of creepiness even more deeply in his heart.
He even felt that his worldview had begun to change!
Death procedure?
…
Xu Qifeng took a deep breath.
The cinema was completely silent, with only the plot playing.
For some reason, everyone felt a cool breeze in the cinema...
In addition, there is an indescribable feeling of having one's worldview overturned.
“Bang!”
On the screen!
A girl who didn't believe in death was hit and killed by a car.
It was clearly a simple traffic accident, but as the plot heated up, the whole movie began to fall into an extremely depressing stage.
The words of the night watchman at the funeral home became the life-saving straw for the male protagonist of the movie, but at the same time they also became the hope of all movie fans!
Mysterious powers are often frightening!
Moreover, this mysterious power is so common, so common that it is completely...
Accident!
Xu Qifeng began to suffocate.
He's completely integrated into the film.
He felt the hints in the movie, which were like hypnotic spells and made him nervous!
He longed, even hoped very much that the protagonist could crack the killing sequence of the Grim Reaper!
Then end the movie.
…
In the Chaos Theater.
All the media and reporters were watching a free horror movie.
but……
But no one takes pictures.
Everyone was shocked by the unexpected events in the plot.
They also understood what James meant by the phrase "adapted from a true story"...
What the hell!
The plot inside is a series of carefully designed accidents, and this kind of accident!
So true!
The more real it is, the more frightening it is.
The protagonist in the movie is also trying his best to crack this murder sequence.
One after another, extremely thrilling accidents, it seems as if there is a pair of mysterious big hands operating, as if they can control everything!
After the protagonist tried his best and even risked his life to rescue the heroine, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.
They wiped the cold sweat from their sweaty sweat.
They felt as if the clouds had cleared away and the blue sky appeared.
The movie is gradually coming to an end...
When all the fans thought the movie was finally coming to an end, at the end...
Sudden!
The accident happened again...
The billboard suddenly fell down!
Everyone who had breathed a sigh of relief suddenly felt their hearts choke again...
Hope is shattered!
…
The lights came on in the Migos Cinema.
Xu Qifeng and the audience who were still frightened slowly stood up.
He felt that his worldview had been overturned to the point where he became somewhat suspicious.
I even think this movie is damn poisonous.
At this moment...
“Bang!”
In the distance, a light bulb suddenly went out as if it had exploded.
Xu Qifeng's pupils shrank.
There was a scream in the cinema...
…
"This is a movie that can leave a psychological shadow on people, but that's it..."
Andrew calmed himself down, then stood up and said this to his assistant Rick beside him.
But, before I finish talking...
"Bang!"
Without any warning, the sound of a mirror shattering was heard from behind.
Andrew was so shocked that he sat down on the chair, his face changed instantly, and he gripped the chair handle tightly.
Screams rang out, and some fans subconsciously held their heads...
…
In the Chaos Theater.
"This movie, actually, is just..."
“Bang!”
“Crack!”
Andrew was speaking in the middle of the microphone when he seemed to lose his grip or it was a small accident and it fell to the ground with a crashing sound.
Then……
Most of the reporters were so frightened that they dodged reflexively...
After seeing this scene, a slight smile appeared at the corner of James' mouth.
This is……
A successful film!
have no idea……
How will fans in other theaters react?
