Who are you calling "little fresh meat"? I'm the king.

Chapter 473, "Northeast Folk Tales," is released (13)

Cui Zou Zhao is a very clever online novel author!
"The Years I Worked as a Taoist Priest" is clearly a horror novel that follows the trend!
In those years, novels like "Ghost Blows Out the Light" and "The Grave Robbers' Chronicles" were popular, and Cui Zou Zhao then wrote this novel based on folk horror stories...

And then he became famous overnight!

In those years, there were a ton of similar stories, such as "My Years as a Taoist Priest," "Descendants of Maoshan," "The Corpse Clothes of Qingnang," "The Gu Tales of Miao Territory," and "My Years as a Taoist Priest"...

After gaining fame with "My Years as a Taoist Priest," Cui Zouzhao wrote several more books, including "My Years as a Birdman" and "Shamanic Dance"...

To put it simply, his works are of excellent quality in terms of folk customs, and the legends of Northeast China are very captivating.

Excellent imagination, 90 points for worldview.

It's a high-quality story with a strong sense of patriotism, about doing good deeds without worrying about the future, and it's full of chivalry, especially the part where he goes to the underworld to save people, which is really good.

The love story is extremely poorly written.

Actually, the "Records of the Three Paths" is not bad, but the writing style is too verbose!

Shen Yan sought him out mainly because he was a suitable candidate.

Don't bother going there just to watch horror movies; it's a completely different story. Horror is just the outer layer.

It mainly tells the story of the good and evil in human nature...

It's like the story of "The Shaman's Dance," where the whole story claims that the protagonist, Yaoyuan, is a shaman, but is the protagonist the one who actually performs the shamanic dance? No, it's everyone except the protagonist.

The same goes for "Northeast Folk Tales." While it may seem to tell stories of strange creatures in the mountains and forests, it actually tells stories about the human heart.

With a budget of 1500 million, less than 400 million went to actor salaries; the rest was all production costs, especially for special effects…

The special effects for the giant monkey were really well done!
I initially wanted to be Wong Tai Sin...

But Wong Tai Sin went a bit too far. After all, Wong Tai Sin's reputation is too great, and he could easily be banned!
……

"Northeast Folk Tales"... It was released on Friday the 17th and received a good response!
The box office on the first day was 2200 million.

It surpassed "Iron Man 3," which had been in theaters for 17 days, to become the top-grossing film of the day.

The latter grossed 1028 million, while "So Young" ranked third with a single-day gross of 665 million...

3600 million on the second day, and 3400 million on the third day.

The box office reached 9000 million in its first three days…

There seem to be a lot of films, but there were quite a few blockbuster movies in the first half of this year. Not to mention the films released during the Spring Festival, the recent films such as "Finding Mr. Right", "Blind" and "So Young" all outperformed "Northeast Folk Tales" at the box office.

But this movie has been quite popular and well-received...

The response was very strong!
Generally speaking, horror movies don't generate much buzz...

After all, it's a domestically produced horror film...

I know everything!

The cast is far from impressive: Shang Tiejun, Hu Ge, Chen Yao, and Li Xian.

Apart from Hu Ge, everyone else is considered a newcomer. Even though Li Xian has "With You," he is still a newcomer in the television industry!
In addition... Shang Tiejun is actually a replacement for Li Liqun...

This person returned to the island and refused Tang Xianglong's invitation to appear on "Dragon Travels the World" to tell stories of friendly coexistence and cultural exchange between compatriots on both sides of the Taiwan Strait.
Instead, she accepted an interview with SET Entertainment and shared many of her thoughts…

Sanlih Entertainment!

Mr. Li forgot that we live in an era of shared information.

Shen Yan definitely wouldn't dare use an actor like that.

Getting back to the point, for a long time, there haven't been any particularly outstanding domestic horror films.

But in the end, it's a strange movie that always tells the audience that it's not like that at all...

Many people say that the scariest thing about domestic horror films is actually the movie posters!

How to make an excellent horror film without ghosts, gore, or violence?

"Northeast Folk Tales" answers this question.

Packaged in the style of rural ghost stories!
It involves first telling a ghost story, then explaining it scientifically…

The so-called ghost stories are entirely man-made. This resolves the problem of feudal superstition…

In addition, turning ghosts into demons is also a way to pass censorship—back then, the movie "Painted Skin" turned ghosts into fox demons!

In addition, there's the concept of 'Chinese-style terror' proposed by Shen Yan.

A bunch of film and television companies jumped on the bandwagon and hyped it up...

In a very short time, the concepts of folklore and ghost stories became extremely popular!

After all, with hot money pouring into the film industry, it needs a digestion period.

Youth films and folk horror films.

These are two great options!

For investors, you have to show them the potential for profit!

Film and television companies need to prove to their investors that they have a future.

Therefore, big data, intellectual property (IP), youth films, and even young male idols have all become popular...

Later, this even led to the development of the "big IP + young heartthrob" formula...

It swept away a large amount of hot money!

Later, this formula stopped working...

Policies are tightening, the game of capital is coming to an end, and the wealth in the entertainment industry is receding rapidly like a huge wave, leaving a large number of entertainment companies stranded on the beach…

Then, idol talent shows and BL dramas became the new hot trend!
In just three years, more than two thousand idol companies have sprung up…

Unfortunately, this time the tide rose and fell even faster…

In the entertainment industry, no matter what it is, once capital floods in, speculators with and without capital all rush in for a wild party. But the brutal pleasure always ends brutally, leaving behind only a mess of ruins...

……

Shen Yan hasn't had time to keep up with the film industry lately.

His third album was released…

Echoes of the Rainbow

The physical album, with 5 copies, sold out within an hour of its release online.
A limited edition of 5000 vinyl records sold out in three minutes after going online…

The price is 300 per piece!

The key issue is that many of the items that are bought are then resold on secondhand websites, with prices starting at 1000 yuan!
Shen Yan had no choice but to post on Weibo: "Everyone, don't buy so many, just buy one to show your support. Luckily, I made the website limit the purchase to five per account! Next time, I'll make the website limit it to one per account!"

Oh, right, the album was released…

It directly dominated the top ten of the charts on several major music platforms…

Almost all of the top ten songs on the new song chart are from the movie "Echoes of the Rainbow".

Among them, the songs with the highest click-through rate and downloads are "If the Moon Hasn't Come Yet" and "Flowers Bloom All the Way"...

Following that are "The Beauty of the World Is Intertwined with You", "Young and Promising", "Unrefined", "Uninhabited Island", and "Empty".

"Looking Out the Window" and "Red-Clad Ladies," as opera-style songs, later surpassed it in download numbers...

That's normal; Peking opera-style songs don't have a large audience!

But once you hear it, the chances of falling in love with it are very high.

Along with the album release, the tour has also begun!

The first stop was Beijing Workers' Stadium, which set a record of selling out in two minutes.

Shen Yan's popularity... is unparalleled!

　I'm well rested...
