"Death 4" is released, and the total global box office is more than 201 million US dollars!

It’s worthy of exceeding the 200 million mark!

This result is better than the previous three films.

However, the production cost was more than 40 million US dollars, so the return on investment of this film did not exceed 5.

Moreover, the share given to Wu Long was even more.

The fifth part, should we still shoot it?

The top management of Lion Pictures began to hesitate and felt unwilling not to make the film. After all, it was still a profitable IP.

Public opinion on the Internet is different. They all ridiculed Wu Long for being inferior to Wen Zhiren and Werner.

"The production cost of "Dead Man 4" was 45 million U.S. dollars, and it was a 3D movie. The total global box office was barely 200 million U.S. dollars. The return on investment was less than 5.

Take a look at Wen Zhiren and Werner's "Insidious 2". The production cost was only 5 million U.S. dollars, and the total global box office was more than 210 million U.S. dollars. The return on investment is 40!

Compare, who is the master of horror movies?

Some people may say that Wu Long is the master of horror films. Then I want to tell you that Wen Zhiren and Werner are not masters of horror films, they are the masters of horror films!

"Death Comes 4" was crushed into scum by "Insidious 2"!

I advise you not to film the fifth part of "Death is Coming" again, it's really embarrassing!"

Is it embarrassing?

Is it embarrassing if the return on investment is less than 5?

It cannot be compared with "Insidious 2". But compared with other movies, it is still profitable, right?

Many directors, actors and film companies are sulking at such remarks. They also want films with a return on investment of more than 4.

What's more, even if the return on investment of "Death Comes 4" is less than 5, it has reached a total global box office of 200 million US dollars.

After deducting the production costs, there is a gross profit of 150 million. No matter how other expenses are deducted and shared with the cinema, it is still a lot of money.

It's a pity that those trolls who want to blackmail Wu Long don't see it this way.

"Plasma tablets are plasma tablets. No matter how much you try to make things 3D, realistic, or realistic, they can't change the nature of plasma tablets.

I’m talking about the 3D movie “Death Comes 4”!

Is it okay to learn from Wen Zhiren and Werner and focus on the plot and imagination?

Stop using death to disgust people!"

A group of people on the Internet used "Insidious 2" to criticize "Death Comes 4", and by the way, they also criticized Wu Long.

Wu Lung had only made one film, "The Ring," and he never dared to make a horror movie again. Because Wu Lung simply could not make any good horror movies anymore, he didn't dare to make another one.

I didn't dare to shoot and wanted to make money, so I sold the script to Lion Pictures.

It made money, but it's the director's fault for not doing well at the box office.

Huang Yiyu is just a director who got scolded for Wu Lung. So we won’t talk about Huang Yiyu, just Wu Lung.

Seeing the increasingly fierce public opinion on the Internet, Huang Yiyu quickly went online to clarify.

"The script given by Brother Long is very good, thank you Brother Long.

The "Death Is Coming" series did not do well at the box office because I failed to capture the essence of the script.

My strength limits the performance of this series.

…”

Wen Zhiren and Werner saw the public opinion on the Internet and wanted to come out and tell the truth. However, they couldn't.

They feel guilty that "Insidious 2", which cost 5 million US dollars, did not have as good a box office performance as "Insidious", which cost only 1.5 million US dollars.

The two went to apologize to Wu Long, but Wu Long said that at the beginning they said that "Insidious" was not as good as "Paranormal Activity". Have they forgotten?

There is a flaw in horror film series, that is, generally speaking, the sequel cannot easily surpass the first one. This is an inherent flaw determined by the form of horror films.

What attracts audiences to horror films is their scares. Generally speaking, it is difficult for a second film to surpass the first in terms of scariness, so it is normal that the box office is not as good as the first.

In order to comfort the two of them, Wu Long also gave them the script of "Insidious 3".

Just by looking at the script, I know that the production cost will definitely rise again, it is estimated to be 10 million US dollars.

"You see, the production cost continues to rise, but the box office is difficult to surpass the first one. This is a fact. But there is another fact, that is, even if the production cost increases, even if the film does not reach hundreds of millions, as long as it exceeds 50 million U.S. dollars,

The return on investment is 5, this movie is making money, so we can continue to make it.”

"Go ahead and don't care about the public opinion on the Internet. It's all just applause. That's not a real society."

Recalling this, the two felt that if they didn't do something, they would really be sorry for Wu Long's love and cultivation for them.

As a result, the two also spoke online.

"Thank you to the fans who love horror movies.

No matter what, as long as there are horror movies released, it is a good thing for horror movie fans.

Brother Long is my idol and my teacher.

It can be said that my horror films are deeply influenced by Brother Long’s horror films and movies.

For Brother Long, I, Wen Zhiren, always need to look up."

"Brother Long's "The Ring" can be said to have influenced many horror films.

It can be said that Wen Zhiren and I have been discussing how to make horror movies more scary, but there has been no solution.

It wasn't until we watched Brother Long's "The Ring" that Wen Zhiren and I realized that this was the case.

From then on, Brother Long was Wen Zhiren’s idol and also my idol.

Brother Long is Wen Zhiren’s teacher and also my teacher.

Without Brother Long, Wen Zhiren and I would not be where we are today."

Although the two couldn't tell the secret clearly, publicly saying that they were Wu Long's fans was a hint. In the future, when they reveal the truth, these words can also be used as evidence.

However, their words were still distorted.

"Look at Wen Zhiren and Werner, how humble they are."

"Both of them are obviously very talented, and they are better than Wu Lung in horror films. But they still praise Wu Lung and belittle themselves."

"The two of them did not dare to offend Wu Long, that's why they behaved like this."

"Wu Long's current status, even if Wen Zhiren and Werner are talented, they may be secretly suppressed by Wu Long. So they can only swallow their anger and say good things about Wu Long against their own sincerity."

"Wu Long is Wen Zhiren and Werner's teacher? That's ridiculous. There is no need to believe what Wen Zhiren and Werner said to protect themselves!"

"It can be seen that Wu Long must have secretly exerted pressure on Wen Zhiren and Werner, forcing them to say this."

"Poor Wen Zhiren and Werner, they are so successful at the box office but they dare not express their true voices."

"Wu Long went too far. If you can't compare, you can't compare. You have to use such despicable methods!"

Amid such discussions, the highly anticipated "The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers" was released.

At the beginning of the movie, Frodo dreamed of Gandalf's sacrifice and woke up. The subsequent setting of the elf rope also made the audience feel refreshed.

Soon, Gollum appeared.

In "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring", Gandalf once mentioned Gollum, and Gollum also appeared. However, Gollum's appearance was relatively gray and vague, and there was no clear and clear expression.

At this time, Gollum is clearly displayed in front of the audience.

The ferocious-looking Gollum has very few hairs, which makes people feel scared and worried.

The elf prince, Aragorn, and the dwarf Gimli track down the orcs who have captured Frodo's friends. The dwarf Gimli plays the role of a joke, and the atmosphere of survival prevents the nearly four-hour film from being too boring.

Fangorn Forest seems to be a scary forest.

When Frodo's friends Pippin and Merry escaped, they escaped into Fangorn Forest and met the tree man, the tree shepherd, and the forest protector.

There is also a white-robed mage.

The elf prince, Aragorn, and the dwarf Gimli tracked into Fangorn Forest. The elf prince said they heard the voice of the white-robed mage. The three were secretly on guard, but suddenly turned around and attacked.

A ray of white light blocked the three people's attacks.

When the white-robed mage revealed his true identity, he turned out to be Gandalf, whom everyone thought was dead.

It turns out that after Gandalf fell, he chased the Balrog together and finally killed the Balrog and was promoted to the White Robe Wizard.

Gollum took Frodo and Sam through the Dead Swamp, and he told them not to follow the will-o'-the-wisp. As a result, Frodo was affected by the will-o'-the-wisp and watched the dead people under the water being confused and fell into the water.

Fortunately Gollum rescued Frodo, otherwise Frodo would have died.

After exiting the Death Swamp, you arrive at the Black Gate.

They observed the Black Gate on the hillside and saw many orcs. As a result, Sam fell down the hillside and was trapped.

Frodo ran down to save Sam.

The orcs saw the dust raised by two people sliding down the hillside, and came to take a look.
