Hollywood companies are not fools, they are actually very happy to be loyal to making this kind of film, and among them, the more representative one is Universal.

Universal is a big company, and it does have many representative big IP works, but in fact, this company has made many horror films.

Probably, this is why companies that always lose money can continue to survive like this. After all, they are also supported by such low-cost and high-yield films.

And speaking of the black movie star who played the 'Candy Man' in the film "Candy Man", he also starred in many classic works later on.

The soldier in "Bravely Entering the Deadly Island", and "Death Comes".

Therefore, Takeshi Iwata determined from the beginning of the movie "Candy Man" that this is a strong enemy.

But how should this formidable enemy be dealt with?

Takeshi Iwata felt that this "Happy Death Day" still has its own advantages.

Also, that would be "Children in the Cornfield".

Stephen King, the king of terror, this one is really powerful.

His novels are not only well written, but also very productive.

This is probably the best writer combined with movies, such as the later "Shawshank Redemption", "Miracle on the Green Mile", and "The Mist".

but.

Takeshi Iwata is also very clear that Stephen King's works are really written without much to say, just awesome.

But after changing it to a movie, it's not always so awesome.

Some movies are actually quite outrageous.

I remember that there was a relatively famous work, "Pet Cemetery", after it was turned into a movie, there was not much splash.

And that "The Dark Tower", after it was turned into a movie, the lineup is also very strong, and the investment is quite large, but in the end it still fell into a state where my mother didn't know it.

And this 'cornfield', Takeshi Iwata has hardly heard of it.

Therefore, from the very beginning, Takeshi Iwata felt that this might not be a very strong opponent.

Ever since, the main enemy is still the "Candy Man".

Regardless, let's go to the United States and see.

……

"Iwata! Ahaha...that's great!"

"what?"

"It's too strong! We won!"

"what?"

"Counterattack! Is a big counterattack!?"

"What the hell are you talking about?"

When he arrived in Los Angeles, Iwata was taken aback.

I don't know what Jennifer and the gang ate. They were so excited that they yelled all kinds of things when they saw themselves.

However, I can hear it, it should be that "Happy Death Day" performed very well.

But what is going on?

"Ahem...that's it, let me tell you."

Jennifer, America's sweetheart, smoothed out her hair after she went crazy, and I'm still going into details.

"It's actually like this. At the beginning, we were also very worried, but then..."

Needless to say, the subsequent development is really surprising.

The big white and big dark queen Cassandra said well, this "Candyman" is really good, but what are the advantages and disadvantages of this movie compared with "Happy Death Day"?

First of all, Candyman is really a very good, very American horror film.

The source of this story is American folk. Although the history of this country is not too long, there are still some folk stories.

Moreover, there is a tendency in this story.

It can be regarded as saying a lot of good things for American blacks, and it can even be said that it exposed the cruel atrocities committed by white American slave owners back then.

Why did the 'candy man' have such a big grievance?

It was because he fell in love with the slave owner's girl that the slave owner sentenced him to death.

Cut off the arm, spread honey on the wound, and attract the bees to him...

This trick is really ruthless, and it feels like losing the SAN when you think about it.

Coupled with facing the mirror and saying his name, this mirror is considered a very common 'prop' in Europe and America.

It is related to many fairy tales and horror movies, and the mirror has its own horror attributes.

However, these advantages are indeed good, but this is also the 'disadvantage' of this movie.

The movie "Candy Man" is a bit too traditional.

In short, at least the 'ghost' can be found, right?

As long as the 'ghost' can be found in this kind of ghost film, then at least there is a clear goal.

Sometimes it is like this. After having a goal, the heart is much more stable.

So, what about "Happy Death Day"?

No!

Just like what the woman Cassandra said, the 'ghost' in this movie is invisible and intangible!

It should be said that in horror movies, the 'haunting' thing did not give a clear answer.

This is not very new.

Some films are indeed based on mysterious power as the final explanation, but there is always an explanation, right?

The movie "Happy Death Day" doesn't explain these things at all!

How on earth is it repeated over and over again in the same day?

do not know!

Not to mention, not in the movie at all.

Of course, the heroine Terry did untie this cycle, but her untiement seems to be just luck.

Alas, this is fun.

However, there is also a deep horror in it.

It's scary to think about it carefully.

What if someone was actually trapped in the same day on a certain day?

In fact, the question about this explanation...

It is better because there is no explanation!

Takeshi Iwata remembers very clearly that after the original "Happy Death Day" achieved great success in the first part, this second part hit the street!

Also rushed quite hard.

As for why rushing to the street?

Explain, just explain why the heroine Terry was trapped on the same day.

Not to mention, the explanation is still decent.

Uses such as but not limited to, quantum mechanics, high-end physics, parallel universes, etc...

Good guy!

A horror movie turned into a sci-fi movie.

In the end, a lot of science-related things were given.

Indeed, a bunch of people are quite happy, and even, in the second part, this Terri is all kinds of self-defeating.

She played suicide.

In the first film, she committed suicide once.

This time it's not bad, every time I play suicide.

The whole thing collapsed at once!

In fact, this example tells us very clearly.

Sometimes it’s like this, it’s okay if you don’t explain it, but once you explain it, it’s easy to get confused.

Of course, Takeshi Iwata will not make such low-level mistakes in this shooting, especially, he also created a more ambiguous atmosphere.

Anyway, what kind of mysterious force is 'causing trouble'?

You ask me?

I do not know yet!

However, on the surface, Takeshi Iwata did not say that, he has always had an attitude.

I will not say.

Well, I know, but I don't say it.

The acting skills of a famous supervisor!

Now, without explaining this, it became his trump card.

It is also the key to "Happy Death Day" counterattacking "Candy Man"!

And second...

"Hey! I played a big role this time!"

Jennifer is claiming credit.

What effect?

"Come on, let's take a look at those reviews."

At present, the Internet in the United States is not very popular. There are networks, but not many.

However, some comments can still be seen.

There are also street interviews here, and there are also quite a few film critics.

In these interviews and critic articles, Jennifer, the sweetheart, really shines.

"What Happens to a Sweetie Stuck on the Same Day?"...A review from the Los Angeles Times.

Look, at least it's sweet, right?

"Bold! Unleash yourself! Awesome figure!" Here's what... the various tabloids were reporting.

How can you see these tabloids?

Jennifer is very caring. She cut out many tabloids and made a clipping.

Seeing this, Takeshi Iwata really couldn't laugh or cry.

The same goes for Keanu Reeves and Wen Diesel.

anything else!

"Terry, this chick, is so hot!"

"I've seen her, and she likes to wear nothing underneath, very nice!"

"Who is she? Can anyone provide her information?"

As far as street interviews are concerned, what these Yankees said is really good enough.

However, they are like that, dare to say anything, and treat it as a character.

But Jennifer thought it was a sign of her fire.

"I'm hotter than the heroine in "Candyman"!"
