Director Ke Wenli, the movie "Manslaughter" a few years ago, made a huge profit from this small-budget suspense film with a box office of 1.3 billion.
may be too eager to copy the success of the original work.
This time, Ke Wenli brought all kinds of thriller, suspense and other commercial elements to the screen. The
movie was released for 4 days, with a box office of 168 million. The total predicted score of
has also changed from the original 500 million to 1.1 billion.

In fact, the content of the movie is still very simple, reflecting social phenomena such as school bullying, domestic violence, native families, and voting tracking.
is attractive from the ground up.
The story begins in a girls' college. Xiaotong was bullied by a female devil who also put glue on her mouth and pasted her to the wall.
When the mother of the child, played by Zhang Junmi, arrived, she was so heartbroken that she had to cut off her hair with scissors to save the child.
is shocking even across the screen.
Large-scale bullying scenarios like this that challenge the audience's bottom line can be seen everywhere. There is Xiaotong in front of
, and her friends behind it.
On one side is the desperate cry of the bullied, on the other side is the devil's wanton laughter.
The director knows how to market and arouse the anger of the audience from the beginning.
Then, various large-scale plots were arranged.
On a dark rainy night, men in raincoats appeared, and the bullies were killed and hacked to death one after another.
Corpses fell from the sky, their eyes looked at each other, they were smashed with a big hammer, and the aorta was cut with a clicking sound. It was very bloody and violent. Who killed
or how they died is no longer important. What is important is that the audience wanted them to die.
No, apart from the fear, it feels like a movie.
At the beginning of the movie’s release, the film crew issued the words “Minors should watch with caution.” From the content point of view,
is indeed the largest film I have seen in the past few years.
's previous " Weekly Elimination of Three Evils " was also bloody, but it was shot one by one, and all the bad guys died.
And this guy does all kinds of cruel things at the same time, and it has been upgraded to a new level.
The editor was so scared that he couldn’t sleep after watching it.
However, this does not affect the wonderful content.
The heroine starring Junning Zhang takes out her kumquats to the principal and feeds them to other villains.
And these kumquats are all "nourished" by the husband's corpse.
is terrible.
is so scary, is not the visual bloody violence, but the dark side deep in the human heart that is scary.
Therefore, children are right not to go to the cinema.
All in all, the thriller elements of the movie are beyond the standard. If you like horror movies, you will definitely like this movie.
However, as a suspense film, , if you watch the movie a little bit, you can guess the ending when you see the beginning.
The storyline is not as good as the previous one.
Of course, I guess the director's intention is not here. His purpose is to create some suspense films with a mixture of thrillers and jokes.
At the end of the film, the movie also has subtitles thanking Chen Sicheng. This is not surprising.
Chen Sicheng has made a lot of money from movies such as "Manslaughter" and " She Disappeared ". He is a very successful suspense film businessman.
Although its reputation is quite controversial.
But the combination of high-saturation colors, large-scale thriller plot, weird and superb soundtrack, and exciting movie settings makes ’s current audience very satisfied with this set.
is also very conducive to the spread and fermentation of short videos. Everyone wants to take a look.
Therefore, the box office is generally not much different.
It can be seen from this that Director Ke Wenli also understands the essence of Chen Sicheng.
The reputation of this movie will definitely not be as good as "Manslaughter", but the box office will definitely not be bad.
