Violence supervision in Conan

Chapter 82: The Grudge is released, and the Kudo couple arrives [Seeking follow-up reading~]

"The Grudge"!
A classic neon horror film.

It is called "the source of real and terrifying fear", "the destroyer of the absolute quilt", "the cure for those who are not sensitive to horror movies"...

I won’t say much about how thrilling this movie is. Anyway, anyone who can watch it in its entirety is a real man of steel!

In the field of horror films, "The Grudge" is definitely the ceiling in terms of being able to create a horror atmosphere to this extent.

Supervisor Shimizu Takashi's control over human hearts and human nature is simply unparalleled!

The movie is made up of several seemingly unrelated stories, but if you watch it carefully you will find that all the stories can be connected together, and once you watch it carefully, you will feel scared.

The supervisor cuts the source of terror into life, unlucky children and stupid mothers may appear from every corner——

There are hands appearing behind your back when you are taking a shower, faces and hair on the ceiling, under the table, in the closet, in the attic, everywhere. If you don't confront them, you will die.

It can also AOE when there are many people.

And the scariest thing is that many people will shrink into their quilts when they are scared after watching horror movies. Once wrapped in the quilt, we naturally think it becomes the safest place.

But what if you bury your head in the quilt and find her looking at you from inside the quilt?

When you wake up in the middle of the night, you open your eyes and find a woman staring at you with big eyes at the head of the bed, and a poor kid sitting at the foot of the bed watching his mother staring at you...

That sour and refreshing feeling is probably best felt once and for all.

The greatest horror of the movie "The Grudge" is that it shatters all people's defenses against terror. You have no way to resist this omnipresent, inescapable, and always-present feeling of terror.

So, when you feel your home is too quiet and boring, you might as well watch The Grudge.

After a while, you will feel that there is movement everywhere in the house and it is very lively.

Although Takeshi Onino's "The Grudge" is a modified version, he still captured the essence. The famous scenes were basically retained, and even a lot of classic shots from the later parts were added. The level of horror is definitely not inferior to the original.

The opening scene of "The Bandage Monster Murder Case" is also quite outstanding.

Originally, the combination of reasoning suspense and thriller horror was a bit inconsistent, but Onino Takeshi was very clever to use the former as the background of the story in the form of a flashback, and the time was compressed to ten minutes.

Only the essence of it was extracted, which neither overshadowed the main story nor told the origin of Chikako, creating a sense of suspense.

In general, Onino Takeshi's version is at least as scary as the original version, and it has even improved and modified some of the slightly unreasonable flaws of the original version.

Anyway, when Toei's film reviewers were halfway through the movie, a small number of people rushed out in fear, and most people didn't even have the strength to escape.

After hearing this, Kenichi Kikuchi breathed a sigh of relief and put aside some of his worries about Takeshi Ono's rash transformation into making horror films.

He didn't want to be blamed just after being promoted.

However, he and Gui Yewu were too deeply bound together, and the two had long been in a state of shared prosperity and adversity.

Fortunately, the results of the film review allowed him to see that Onino Takeshi was still the same Onino Takeshi.

The decision was made immediately to release it across the board!
……

"Adapted from real events! Taking you to find the most complete truth!"

"The mystery of Chikako Ikeda's death will be revealed in this movie!"

"Director Takeshi Onino's latest masterpiece - The Grudge! Are you looking forward to it?"

"The ultimate thriller, a curse from which there is no escape, terror is coming this weekend!"

"Is The Grudge a simple movie or a documentary? Or even a prophecy? Let us analyze it..."

"The crew was hit by many accidents. The original heroine and the cameraman had accidents one after another. Was it an accident or a curse from Chikako Ikeda before her death? The Grudge may become a reality!"

"..."

With the release date confirmed, publicity for "The Grudge" suddenly became overwhelming.

With the joint efforts of Toei and Onino Eiga, it was easy to create momentum.

The main promotional focus is to link the film with the "Chikako Ikeda Incident" in various aspects, constantly conveying to the public the impression that it is "adapted from real events."

It feels like a "pseudo-documentary".

That’s right, it’s a promotional strategy borrowed from “Paranormal Activity”.

When Onino Takeshi proposed this plan, Kikuchi Kenichi immediately applauded and decided to fully support it.

They also used an ambiguous tone to take advantage of the accidents of Okino Yoko and Yanagisawa Ryuichi, naming them a curse and deliberately creating a sense of horror that the crew was really entangled in the curse.

The two-pronged approach and various means produced immediate results, which immediately aroused the curiosity of many people.

And this time, Onino Eiga also participated in the promotion work. Today, Onino Eiga is no longer what it used to be, and has set up its own distribution and publicity departments.

This is the first battle!
Although Toei is still the main force, the role played by Onino Eiga cannot be ignored.

In the process, we also accumulated experience and expanded resources.

Onino Eiga is steadily moving towards becoming a substantial comprehensive film company.

……

The premiere of "The Grudge" was scheduled for the weekend, still at the Takarazuka Grand Theater.

The exact time is difficult to describe.

Anyway, in Gui Yewu's impression, yesterday seemed to be Tuesday.

This time the premiere was arranged more grandly than before. With money in hand, they naturally wanted to put up a good show.

Various media and film critics were invited to attend, and many people were very interested in Onino Takeshi's new movie.

When they made "That Summer, the Quiet Sea", they still did it for Toei's sake, but this time, it was really because of Takeshi Onino.

Everyone wants to see whether this movie is a continuation of Takeshi Ono's glory or a Waterloo that will bring him down from the altar.

In short, whether it is anticipation or watching the joke, it proves that Onino Takeshi is no longer the unpopular little supervisor that no one cared about.

He has begun on the road to becoming a famous supervisor!
The media also gathered around him for interviews, and although Onino Takeshi still looked as scary as before, the treatment he received was completely different now.

Closer to home.

Because it is a horror film, this time Takeshi Ono did not invite the Yoshida family and the new name Rentaro and others.

However, since "The Grudge" was rated R by the Film Ethics Association, which means it can only be viewed by people over 18 years old, people like Mouri Ran and Suzuki Sonoko did not come.

In fact, as one of the main creators, they could come, but unfortunately, Mao Lilan said she didn't want to come no matter what.

She didn't feel it when filming was going on, but after watching a trailer released by Onino Eiga, Mao Li Ran firmly vowed that she would never watch this movie in her life!

However, Shinna Kaori still came. Although Onino Takeshi told her that the movie was quite scary and Shinna Kaori was obviously scared, she still insisted on attending.

"How can I not come to support your new movie, Wu?"

Seeing the girl who was obviously a little nervous but expressed her support without hesitation, Gui Yewu was moved.

Since Shinna Xiang Baoli insisted, we could only let her do what she wanted. At worst, I could give her a solid shoulder to lean on.

In addition, Reiko Akiba also came to show her respect.

Unlike Shinna Kaori, this woman had a hint of excitement in her expression. Only then did Onino Takeshi realize that this cold and beautiful singer was actually a horror movie fan.

In addition to them, there were two other people who came that Gui Yewu did not expect -

"Look! That's... Oh my God, I can't believe it, it's Fujimine Yukiko!"

"Ah - and Kudo Yusaku! No, I'm going to faint!"

"The Kudo couple are here too. Director Onino is so honored!"

"Idiot! Don't forget that their son Kudo Shinichi was the leading actor in Director Onino's last movie, so it's reasonable for him to come and show his support!"

"By the way, I haven't seen any news about Kudo Shinichi for a long time..."

Outside the Takarazuka Theater, a man and woman with unique temperament got out of a car, immediately attracting the attention of the entire audience and triggering a series of exclamations.

It turned out to be the couple Yusaku Kudo and Yukiko Kudo!
The appearance of these two people completely set off the entire theater inside and outside!

Countless reporters swarmed over and frantically pressed the shutter buttons at the two people, as if film was free.

A series of flashes made the surroundings almost as bright as day, flickering continuously and blinding people.

The Kudo couple seemed to be accustomed to this and did not show any panic. They behaved still elegantly and had the foresight to put on sunglasses.

The audience around who came to watch the movie were equally crazy, and kept shouting the names of the Kudo couple and trying hard to squeeze in, which shows how popular Kudo Yusaku and his wife are.

The scene was in chaos for a while.

Fortunately, Toei, which knew in advance that the two were coming, arranged sufficient security forces to stop the chaos in time, and no accidents occurred.

Seeing this scene, Gui Ye Wuyi couldn't help but be amazed at the two people's super high popularity.
