Who is Wen Ziren? James Wan!

If you don’t know before, then you will see this name from the current circle of friends and Weibo’s overwhelming recommendation for this year’s last comic super-big film “Neptune”

If you love watching movies, especially horror movies, then you should be no stranger to this name

“The Chainsaw Cry” “Death”, “Hidden”, “Soul”, the directors of these famous horror movies are Pisces boys who are less than one meter tall and taller, now the Chinese of Hollywood, Wen Ziren

And since 2004, he has been a director in Hollywood. Almost every movie of hiss is a classic with a small blog

For the audience who loves B-rated films, Wen Ziren is a name that cannot be missed

2004 “Saws of the Chainsaw”, the film was shot in only 18 days, costing $1.2 million, but it earned more than $100 million in box office revenue

“Hidden”, the cost is less than 1.5 million knives, and the box office is 155 million;

“The soul of the soul”, cost 20 million knives, still in the small cost of Hollywood, the global box office of 320 million US dollars

Seeing his ability to absorb gold, the “global” boss slammed $250 million to squander him, and the light car scrapped 230 cars, and later suffered a bigger problem than the budget – the hero Paul Wacker was unfortunate The car accident was killed

The film was last extended for more than half a year, and Paul Walker’s younger brother was photographed on the side, and the end of the film added a tribute to Paul Walker’s shot

Finally, China’s box office reached 2.4 billion yuan. Not only did the film earn a lot of money in China, but the farewell to Paul Walker’s ending song “See You Again” also earned the tears of the audience and became the hottest song of the year. The inside of the film was a mess

The film eventually became the third place in the box office of the movie history of “Avatar” and “Titanic”

At the age of 41, he has already harvested a total of $2.5 billion in box office. It is predicted that he will be the strongest commercial film director after Spielberg and Cameron, and the future king of entertainment in Hollywood

Of course, nationalists do not have to use their blood to create such brilliant achievements. In the Western-led Hollywood, Wen Ziren, who has a place in Hollywood, has only the blood of Chinese. He was a Malaysian before he was 7 years old. Australians

On November 18th, the world premiere of “Sea King” in China was the first time that Wen Ziren had been to his ancestors

But his fate with China is not only that he has a part of the Chinese blood in his body, but also directly reflected in his professionalism at the time of college – the Chinese national division!

At the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology, Wen Ziren received a degree from the most prestigious institution in Australia, but he is not like his sister. 钟欣潼. , the younger brother Wu Zun, out of the campus soon became a star

In this institution of higher education, which ranks first in Australia, Wen Ziren graduated and lost his job. When he graduated with him, he was unemployed and there was a classmate named Ray Warner. He was his good buddy

An important reason for the two people to come together is that they all like to watch horror movies. And not only like to watch, Ray Warner is more interested in writing scripts, Wen Ziren is willing to turn ideas into reality

As early as 2000, the two men sang a 72-minute film “The Dark Night”, Ray Warner also played a role in the film, this is the beginning of the cooperation between the two, although a bit now The feeling of net big, but the film won an award for an underground film festival in Australia, giving the two people the confidence to continue to create

Ray Warner later found a job on a TV station. It is rumored that he had been in the hospital for a long time because he suspected he had brain cancer, until he decided that he should do something more meaningful in his limited life. So I picked up the pen and started to create a horror story. The beginning of “The Chainsaw Cry” is like this

Wen Ziren, who has had a childhood shadow since his 14-year-old father’s death, often uses his childhood nightmares to arrange horror elements, and is good at integrating story structures and designing horror shots

The two men took a 9-minute sample of “The Chainsaw Fright” with the money they had made, and then went around to find an investment. As a result, the high-end lion door film industry has always been a high-tech film

Although limited to the budget, the film is simple to shoot, the props are rough, the actors are not even rehearsed, Ray Warner is not only a screenwriter, but also a movie starring, Wen Ziren also works as a screenwriter and director, but in “Moonlight Panic” and After the series of “Screams and Screams”, the market has been exhausted by the horror film, and for a long time, it is not worth seeing the B-level film. The “Saws of the Chainsaw” is made with extraordinary creativity, and the plot design is twisted and twisted. And the bloody white depiction of the human dark side, a hit in the Halloween movie market

From 2004 to 2010, Lions Films’ seven-episode “Saws of the Chainsaw” series became the annual Halloween stall phenomenon, although Wen Ziren did not make a sequel to the director after the first episode, but as a screenwriter or Production, basically involved in the production of each episode

This seven-episode long series finally won the Guinness official certification of “The Most Successful Terrorist Film Series” in 2010. The soul figure jigsaw in the play personally received the certificate

This film series of horror epics has even formed a unique terrorist culture. Not only the haunted houses and theme parks of many chainsaw cultures have been built around the world, attracting thousands of fans and tourists

In 2014, “The Chainsaw Cry” even re-emerged in North America on the eve of Halloween to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the release, which is still rare in the history of horror movies

All the founders of Wen Ziren have been indispensable, not only have they become the money-making machine of Lions Gate, but also the “father of chainsaw” in the movie-blocker.After

, it is the king of the most successful horror film in the new century, relying on the high reputation of fans and the “Hidden” and “Soul” series in the high box office on the market

Wen Ziren’s film is not only the box office under the sensation of plasma and residual limbs, but also has a stable reputation

Whether it’s “The Chainsaw” or “The Soul”, the horror elements in the film are no stranger to the audience, but of course the old drivers are satisfied that Wen Ziren’s performance is even better

Wen Ziren once said that he is very good at designing the atmosphere of terror. The principle of his horror film is to scare himself first

At the same time, when he is not director, he will also be a horror filmwriter or producer. He is still the darling of the market

I don’t know the old partner Ray Warner, even his photographer John R. Leondy also filmed the film “Annager”, “The Announcer”, his screenwriter David Leslie. Johnson shot another derivative film, “The Sister.”

These horror films bearing the Wen Ziren flag, although they lacked a lot of fire from Wen Ziren’s production, they still flourished in the market and earned a lot of money

The most interesting thing for fans is that in the current DC world, the Marvel universe is prevalent, Wen Ziren personally said that in the near future, he will open up the world view and plot in his own and team-made horror films to create a horror universe. System

It’s fascinating to say it

Of course, if you only make B-level production of horror movies, then Wen Ziren is not enough to be a Hollywood frontline director

In 2013, after another Chinese director, Lin Yibin, pushed the guide of the seventh episode, the global boss decided Wen Ziren

Wen Ziren, who is accustomed to small-cost production, is faced with an investment that exceeds the A-level production and surrounding of his previous box office

Especially when the film was shot more than half, the owner of Paul Walker was driving a Porsche super-speed racing on the streets of Los Angeles, and Wen Ziren faced an unprecedented challenge

But James Wan re-edited the script, designed the plot, and re-shooted. It was only less than 8 months later than the original plan. In the Paul Walker scene, which is of concern to fans all over the world, Wen Ziren used a perfect “Paul bid farewell to the show” interprets the “love does not know, go deep and deep”, the box office madness, but also proved that he “can not only shoot horror movies.”

Now Wen Ziren has become a frontline director in Hollywood, the money tree in the eyes of major filmmakers. In 2016, in the DC that was beaten by Man Wei, I invited Wen Ziren to shoot “The Sea King.”

This is the last trump card that DC has saved its intention to turn over

On December 7th, “Neptune” was released in China’s leading North American 2 weeks in the world’s second largest ticket warehouse! The fans laughed and said that they could finally give the old American spoilers

Wen Ziren will win?

The evaluation of the 8.3 points on the premiere of Douban seems to indicate that word of mouth is no longer a problem

“The affair of Avatar Water, Under Pandora” has been fully demonstrated at the box office

“Hai Wang” is a commercial action film, but it still incorporates Wen Ziren’s personal style

Shortly after Nicole played the Queen of Atlantis and the “rotating lens” in the room, the entire lens suddenly rotated 360 degrees, creating a sense of dizziness caused by fast movement, which is Obvious warm style

This kind of “rotating lens” was first used in the beginning of the movie “The Chainsaw Cry 1”. In the “Spiritual 2”, Wen Ziren used it again. In the big production “Speedy 7”, James took it out again. Signature shooting, and still open, let Jushi Johnson and Jason Statham play against

But what happened when the theme song has not been released? It was not until the subtitles were released that the audience found that the “Everything I need” of “The Sea King” was so beautiful

But the two-time Grammy winner, the silky singer of the singer-like Skylar Grey, did not even go online with the movie!

Skylar Grey sang the “Speed 7” episode “I will return”, the Chinese audience is no stranger!

This cannot be said to be a mistake of the film. I want to know how many “Speed 7” box office was promoted by “See you again”

If you want to catch up with the old rival Marvel, you can’t have a mistake

Moreover, on the day of the premiere of “Sea King” China, the old rival Marvel also made a move

The first trailer of “Folian 4” is hot, although the film will be released on May 1st next year, but this has already made countless Marvel fans excited, and the hot search list has surpassed himself as Kato. The eagle’s bean guide button Chengze, straight to “Sea King”!

For a lot of fans who have been smashed from the chainsaw, Wen Ziren’s works are not to be missed

Wen Ziren has been called Hitchcock of this era by fans for more than one time

Although not some people have blown so high, but James Wan’s movie is really exciting enough, and how far away from the master can use “Sea King” to measure
