DC This time, “salted fish turned over” is inseparable from the soul of the film – director Wen Ziren
A lot of people’s impressions of Wen Ziren started from “Speed and Passion 7”, an unknown Chinese director, but no one in the movie of horror movies knows no one, the famous horror film director: “The Chainsaw Cry”, “The Soul”, “Hidden”, “Nun”, etc. are all from his hands, earning $50 million in “terrorist talents” with a cost of 1.2 million!
Born in Malaysia, “Little Otaku”.
On February 27, 1977, Wen Ziren was born in Kuching, Sarawak, Malaysia, but his parents are Chinese, so at the Beijing premiere, Wen Ziren said frankly: I `m Chinese, but strictly speaking, he It is a Malaysian Chinese
Although born in Malaysia, Wen Ziren was basically spent in Australia during his childhood
During his time in Australia, Wen Ziren loves comics and movies, which is often referred to as “the man”. The childhood Wenziren character is more introverted, and the psychological aspect often shows “dark side”. When he was 11 years old, the first time he saw Disney’s cartoon movie “Snow White”, he found that Snow White also has a dark side. After watching Spielberg’s “Great White Shark”, it left an indelible fear to the young Wen Ziren, and deeply affected his life. Since then, Wen Ziren is very afraid of sharks, but full of horror movies. Hey
When Wen Ziren was 14 years old, his father’s death was a big blow to Wen Ziren, who was still a teenager. But this is the case, Wen Ziren, who is so sunny in his heart, has become a good film director
“The Chainsaw Cry” was born.
Wen Ziren received a degree in literature from the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology. It was said that he majored in the Chinese national division, which provided a lot of inspiration for filming later. At the time, when I was studying film, I met my friend Ray Warner, a person who was interested in horror movies. Both of them had unique ideas about horror movies and have since become lifelong friends
However, the road to shooting horror movies has not started smoothly. After the university graduated, both Wen and Lei were unemployed, and they are about to become “poor.” The two rented a basement. Due to the hardships of life and the pressure of survival, both of them would lose hope for life. Life is full of darkness
People can explode amazing energy in the face of adversity. In such an environment, the two men created a small space of horror classic script. After the script was written, the two men raised money and made the evil script a 9-minute DVD movie mode version. The two took the short film to find a chance for the film company to shoot into a movie. Fortunately, he was chosen by Hollywood to invest 1.2 million in shooting costs. Wen Ziren also became a director. Although he had not directed and appeared in the long film, his good friend Ray Warner became a screenwriter and starred
The film tells the story of the perverted murderous madman “Jigsaw” from the perspective of the victim. The story of various homicide organs for the prisoners to pay a huge physical and psychological cost was received by the North American film market during the North American Halloween. Concerned, the film took only 18 days to shoot, cost 1.2 million, but earned $50 million in box office revenue
This is the famous small space horror film “The Chainsaw Cry”, which has since become a dazzling star in the history of horror movies
The road to the horror film master.
After filming the first part of “The Chainsaw”, Wen Ziren has been the producer of the “Saws of the Chainsaw” series, gave up the sequel to shooting, and ran to shoot ghost films
It can be said that Wen Ziren is not satisfied with the bloody horror film, and needs to express the charm of the horror film in various styles. Wen Ziren’s shooting of horror movies requires that he must first scare himself and then show it in the film
2007 “Dead Silence” is released, telling a puppet murderous horror film. In this film, Wen Ziren gave up using a lot of bloody lenses to express the sense of horror, more use of psychological hints and details beyond the understanding of the atmosphere of terror, For example: a dark, narrow room, a creepy puppet, a unique scene sound, and more. Although the film has been recognized by film critics, it has not been recognized by the market
The film that really brought Wen Ziren to the horror film master is from the thrilling suspense movie “The Spirit of Soul” released in 2013. The film tells the story of the Pelong family moving into a house they thought about in 1971. The house is located on the idyllic Rhode Island with beautiful scenery. However, a series of horror things happened one after another, the dog’s bizarre death, the children were scared to cry for help in the middle of the night. The house became their nightmare, and ten years later, everyone became unsettled and eventually decided to move away from Rhode Island. The cost of 20 million investment shots, 49.5 million box office on the first weekend of the show, set the best box office for horror film
Commercial blockbusters are no longer a problem.
In the same year, Wen Ziren was invited by the world to ask him to direct the film “Speed and Passion 7”
At this time, his horror film fans are so aggressive that they are so sturdy for the horror film, how can they go to shoot commercial blockbusters, what if they shoot badly?
He is not content to challenge himself. He has not let the fans down. “Speed and Passion 7” has achieved great success and has become the pinnacle of the series. The film swept the world’s $1.5 billion box office and ranked seventh in the history of global movie box office But Wen Ziren is not very satisfied
Strictly speaking, this is not the super A-level production he wants. Because he took over, Lin Bianbin and Van Diesel had already arranged everything
So “Sea King” is coming.
Wen Ziren “save” DC, DC can turn against the wind, Wen Ziren is indispensable, so remember “Sea King”, if one day you are fortunate enough to see the “Justice League vs Avengers”, please don’t forget that Save the “Wen Ziren of DC.”
