Chapter 261 'The Grudge' and the Shrine of the Soul!
"I'm really looking forward to it."
"Yeah, I don't know what kind of movie it will be."
"It shouldn't be like the previous "Murderer", right?"
"Probably not. The director of this movie is the director of "Mr. Zombie". I have learned about it. Although the movies he shoots are also ghost movies, they are basically all comedies."
"Although Lin Zheng is from Daxia, the movie "Mr. Zombie" is indeed quite good..."
…
There was peace in the cinema.
The audience held popcorn and various drinks with their faces filled with anticipation.
Even if they already knew that "The Grudge" is a ghost movie.
But I didn't feel scared.
Because Lin Zheng's "Mr. Zombie" has already been released in the island country.
At this time, they are still frantically harvesting the island country’s box office.
So, in fact, most people's expectations for this movie are like "Mr. Zombie".
Even though, from the name, it doesn't seem like this "The Grudge" will be like this.
…
In the original version of "The Grudge", the director divided the entire movie into six parts.
If you just look down in order, and you are in a state of extreme fear.
Apart from fear, there are almost no other thoughts.
Roughly speaking, the entire movie can be regarded as a collection of Kayako killing people and scaring people in various ways.
But in fact, there is a plot in the movie, but because the order is broken up, it needs to be watched more carefully.
And this story, roughly speaking, is the tragic life of Kayako.
Because her parents were away from home all year round and didn't take much care of her, Kayako became somewhat withdrawn from an early age.
After going to school, she was shunned and shunned by her classmates, which made her character even more dull.
The only person who accompanies Kayako is her little black cat.
After college, Kayako met a boy named Shunsuke Kobayashi, because he always noticed her and talked to her.
This caused Kayo to fall madly in love with this person. Of course, it was a secret love.
So, she did many things that a secret admirer would do, such as... writing a diary.
But in the end, due to Kayako's timidity, the two did not get together.
Later, Kayo's parents passed away.
Then, the little black cat that had been with her for several years also passed away due to old age. She burst into tears and was seen by Takeo Saeki who came to offer condolences.
Kayako's sadness and weakness inspired Gang Xiong's possessiveness.
Soon after, he proposed to Kayako directly.
How could Kayako, who had never received any attention, bear this? So he accepted it.
Although Gangxiong's possessiveness is extremely high, even to the point of being almost pathological, Kayako happens to have a dull personality, so the two get along relatively harmoniously.
Moreover, she also gave birth to a child named "Junxiong", and the family of three was enjoying themselves happily.
The turning point in the story happened when they wanted to have a second child.
The two tried hard for a long time, but never succeeded in conceiving.
The couple went to the hospital for examination one after another. There was no problem with the coconut milk, but Gangxiong was found to have "oligospermia".
Logically speaking, the chance that he can successfully impregnate someone is only a few tenths.
After hearing the news, the first thought in Takeo's mind was, "Is my son Toshio my child?"
Gangxiong, blinded by anger, immediately rushed home.
Since Kayako just went out and was not encountered by him, he began to look for Kayako's personal belongings.
And just happened to find those diaries!
This is how the tragedy began.
The angry Gangxiong believed that Kayako had betrayed him, so he imprisoned, humiliated, tortured, and killed him cruelly.
When Junxiong came home from school, he quickly hid in the closet where his father could not reach him.
However, Gangxiong still blocked the entrance and died in this room together with his mother.
Transformed into something weird.
After that, it is what the audience is familiar with.
Various people, for different reasons, entered this house with strange inhabitants.
And the story of his tragic death at the hands of Kayako.
Of course, there are connections between these people who died one after another.
And Lin Zheng, for the audience’s viewing experience.
At the same time, in order to better achieve his own goals, he manifested strange things.
Therefore, the entire plot is not disrupted like the original movie.
You have to watch it twice or analyze it carefully to understand the plot.
However, he did not completely choose to use the Shun narrative shooting technique.
Rather, both methods are common.
I divided my version of "The Grudge" into upper and lower parts.
Moreover, an original plot was inserted into it.
That is, many years later, the house where Kayako was located was expropriated by the island country's officials.
It was demolished directly and the Soul-Calling Shrine was built on it.
At the beginning, due to Feng Shui reasons, Kayako was temporarily suppressed.
But now, she has returned from the underground again...
Through this small original plot, the originally illusory movie was successfully brought into reality.
Moreover, he was very precise in targeting the Soul-Calling Shrine that he hated.
Most people, as long as they can understand this movie and are frightened by Kayako.
After that, I'm afraid I'll be a little worried if I want to go to Summoning Soul Shrine again.
Of course, this is not the most important thing.
Lin Zhengzhi said that he connected the house in "The Grudge" with the Soul-Calling Shrine in this way.
The most fundamental purpose is to materialize this virtual Kayako coconut.
Moreover, it happened to appear in the Soul-Calling Shrine!
If it can succeed, then from now on, this island country official will attach great importance to it.
The Soul-Calling Shrine, where the chief leads people to worship every year, will completely become the largest strange forbidden place in the island country.
Who enters.
Who dies!
…
In order to provide these audiences with a good viewing experience.
Eternal Pictures has also made some sacrifices.
They didn't even arrange any advertising for the movie "The Grudge."
Wait for a series of warnings to turn off your phone and keep quiet to pass.
This movie called "The Grudge" has officially begun.
At first, everything was normal.
The entire plot is told in a slow and steady manner.
The audience only gradually discovered that this movie, unlike "Mr. Zombie", was not a comedy.
But they didn't think too much and continued to watch it seriously, immersed in the narrative rhythm of the movie.
At the same time, the cinema gradually became quiet.
In order to successfully embody Kayako, Lin Zheng must ensure that the audience can watch it for a period of time.
So at the beginning, of course, you can't arrange an overly exciting plot.
Therefore, the beginning of the movie, the first part, is a little boring.
The plot of this first part is very simple, and there are almost no strange appearances.
It just introduced Kayako's life experience and the tragic fate of being misunderstood and killed by her husband.
Of course, how Takeo killed Kayako was not filmed in the first part.
Then, there is the plot of the original movie.
Volunteers who enter the house to take care of the elderly due to work reasons.
The police investigating Gang Xiong's case.
The owner of the house, the owner’s sister...
These people, for their own reasons, entered the house one by one.
Or, it is related to the house.
Then, he disappeared without a trace, becoming one missing person revelation after another.
But they disappeared after all, and were still omitted in the first part of the movie.
Lin Zheng didn't even deliberately connect the house with these people, it was obvious in the photo.
The audience was confused.
Although Lin Zheng's filming of this first part was pretty good, and there was the proper amount of suspense.
But...it's still a bit boring after all.
Moreover, it is completely inconsistent with the audience's desire to watch a comedy.
If it weren't for the trust in Eternal Pictures and spending so much money on tickets.
Maybe someone has already left.
The end of the first part of the movie.
Many years later, those people still have not been found.
And, forgotten by most people.
Then, the island country's officials suddenly expropriated the house of Kayako's family, as well as a large area around it.
Start building something.
When the camera turned, the original ruins had been repaired, and the final appearance turned out to be the Soul-Calling Shrine.
This made the audience in the island country even more confused.
"What is this movie about? Why can't I understand it?" someone whispered.
But immediately, someone retorted: "It's probably your problem that you can't understand. This movie is obviously a suspense film, and it is also a subject that Eternal Pictures is best at. Now, we only need to think about the missing people."
People, just go wherever you want!”
"But wasn't this movie made by the director named Lin Zheng?"
"There should be a lot of participation from Eternal Pictures."
The audience was talking a lot.
But in the end, I still waited patiently.
The entire first part of "The Grudge" is completely over, although the first part is not very long.
And from beginning to end, there is nothing too good-looking.
But again, there are no exciting scenes.
Therefore, in all the movie theaters in the entire island country, there has never been a situation where people were scared out like when they watched "The Killer" before.
Soon, the second part of "The Grudge" began.
Although the length of the first part is also very limited, by this time, the requirements for manifesting the weirdness have basically been completed.
Therefore, in the second part, Lin Zheng was not as secretive as before.
To put it simply, the second part is almost the same as the original movie.
Put the camera on everyone who walks into the room, what they encounter, and what happens.
Due to the first part, most viewers regard "The Grudge" as a suspense film.
Therefore, at the beginning of the second part, they all concentrated their attention more, trying to find clues on these people to solve the case.
At the beginning, it was still normal.
But soon, the background music and the scenes on the screen began to slowly become more urgent.
At the same time, it's also a little bit scary.
"Is there something wrong? It feels more and more like a ghost movie." Someone finally discovered something was wrong.
"This is a ghost movie originally. The suspense should be just a modifier. There will still be ghosts in the end. However, the ghost movies directed by Lin Zheng are not scary, and there will be people who specialize in killing ghosts, just like "Zombie"
Uncle Jiu in "Mr." Some people understood and began to stabilize the morale of the army.
It must be said that Lin Zheng's efforts over the years have not been in vain.
His movies have indeed given many people courage.
Even the audiences in these island countries have only watched "Mr. Zombie".
If it had been in the past, I am afraid that many viewers would have been driven away by now.
But now, they can still endure it.
Even when Junxiong had already appeared on the stage, they still didn't react.
Of course, part of the reason for this is that Toshio was already very miserable in the first part.
The audience will feel a little pity for this poor child.
This is also because, at the beginning, the handsome character played by 007 was not particularly scary.
This is also a shortcoming of Lin Zheng's arrangement of the movie plot.
After the audience has understood the entire background, the sense of fear will be slightly reduced.
But Lin Zheng is not worried.
The first part of the diminished sense of fear.
In the second part, Yang Xiaohua and No. 007 will take them back exponentially!
At the same time, Lin Zheng was still in the movie, making the best use of everything and inserting an extra character in the movie.
That is Kayako's black cat.
Let Xiaomi star.
The effect is also very good.
In island countries, black cats are also a symbol of bad luck.
The power that two ghosts and one demon can produce is definitely more powerful than the ghosts played by humans in the original version!
The movie continues to play.
The cinema was still very quiet.
Audiences who knew that the movie was directed by Lin Zheng were even thinking about it.
Will someone like Uncle Jiu appear on the scene, solve the case, and solve all this?
But it is a pity that this time, they did not wait for a character like Uncle Jiu to appear.
Instead, what awaited him was a man whose face was covered in blood and scars, and whose bones were broken all over his body. When he moved, he would make a gurgling sound.
It's weird to be able to kill people in various ways.
Add coconut!
When Kayako played by Yang Xiaohua made his official appearance and appeared in this corner, he even easily broke through the bed where humans feel most secure.
In the movies, there has never been a character like Uncle Jiu.
The audience in the cinema finally realized that this "The Grudge" is not a comedy ghost movie like "Mr. Zombie".
It's not a suspense movie either.
But it's a real horror movie like "The Killer"!
Finally they couldn't bear it anymore.
There is no time to think about why Eternal Pictures still does this kind of thing even though it has failed before.
There is absolutely no time to think about why Lin Zhenghe and Eternal Pictures must release such a movie.
And it has to be released exclusively in their island country first.
The only thought in their minds is to run!
As a result, almost all the movie theaters in the entire island country that had people lined up for hospitalization all emitted screams one after another, which was extremely frightening and filled with people.
Immediately afterwards, as happened before when "The Killer" was released, the audience fled directly from the cinema.
But "The Grudge" is not "The Killer."
Although Lin Zheng is in the first part, he deliberately allows the audience to watch it without feeling scared at all.
But when the second part started, those pictures, those horrifying pictures and scenes even scared Robert to death, and he couldn't recover for a while.
Lin Zheng carefully selected and arranged background music and various sound effects.
As well as Yang Xiaohua and Weird No. 007, Black Cat Xiaomi provides performances that other actors and special effects simply cannot match.
In the end, the audience was so frightened that they turned pale and cried for their fathers and mothers. At the same time, they also completely lost their courage and energy.
At that time, "The Killer" was able to make almost all viewers escape.
But now, in the cinema where "The Grudge" is playing, only a few can escape.
Moreover, they are all very courageous.
As for the others who were timid, they were already so frightened that they sat on their chairs with their legs weak, unable to run away even if they wanted to.
I could only sit there and watch the movie continue to play.
I wanted to close my eyes, but as soon as I closed them, I felt that there were people all around me, and all of them had long hair and blood on their faces, as if they were about to fall on me.
So he could only open his eyes again, and could only look at the screen, where Kayako was killing people in a variety of ways that challenged the limit of human fear threshold.
Some people were even frightened and fainted.
That night, almost all the movie theaters in the island country were there.
