In the spirit of sharing the rain and the dew, Takeshi Iwata must go to the United States no matter what.

After all, in the original plan, the performance of the American version of "Happy Death Day" was truly decisive.

Of course, based on Japan's current performance, there is no problem in saying it is a success.

However, as far as this success is concerned, if it falls on others, there is really no problem.

But for him, Takeshi Iwata, this would be a problem.

You are Director Iwata, the most powerful person in Japan at the moment and the leader of the new trend. It is not enough to sweep a large area in such a relatively deserted period.

The movie box office list for the whole year still depends on you Iwata Takeshi!

Yes, although Takeshi Iwata is currently hated by many people because he married the goddess of many people's dreams, the hope of Japanese movies really lies in him.

Otherwise, it seems that no one else can compete with Hollywood blockbusters.

The previous film "The Greatest Evil" actually performed well, and is basically guaranteed to be included in the annual box office list of Japanese movies.

However, such results are still not enough.

You Iwata Takeshi should be ranked in the top three, or even win the championship.

In short, there are too many people who think this way.

So far, the Japanese version of "Happy Death Day" is doing pretty well, and it seems that it still needs to work hard to make it into the annual box office rankings.

No way, this schedule is really average.

Therefore, how the American version performs becomes very important.

Personally speaking, Takeshi Iwata certainly knows the current situation of the Halloween season in the United States.

The movie "Candyman" is still a bit unfamiliar to us in China, but in the United States this movie is indeed quite a classic.

If I remember correctly, after its success in 1992, a second one was released in 1995.

If a horror film can be made into a sequel, it is a success.

As far as the genre of horror films is concerned, the United States is indeed a niche, but it does produce a lot of them.

The cost is low, so this is a very suitable type for using small to win big.

Hollywood companies are not fools. They are actually very happy to make such films, and the most representative one among them is Universal.

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

Probably, this is why companies that are always losing money can continue to survive like this. After all, they also have such low-cost and high-profit films to support them.

Speaking of the black movie star who played the role of 'Candyman' in the film "Candyman", he later also appeared in many classic works.

The soldier in "The Island of Death" and "Death Is Coming".

Therefore, from the beginning of the movie "Candyman", Takeshi Iwata was sure that this was a strong enemy.

But how should we deal with this powerful enemy?

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

Also, that's "Children in the Cornfield".

Stephen King, the King of Horror, is really awesome.

Not only are his novels well written, but they are also very prolific.

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

but.

Takeshi Iwata also knows very well that the writing of Stephen King’s works really doesn’t have much to say, it’s just awesome.

But after it was adapted into a movie, it wasn't always that awesome.

Some movies are actually quite blockbuster.

I remember that there was a relatively famous work later, "Pet Sematary". After it was adapted into a movie, it didn't make any big splash.

There is also "The Dark Tower". After it was adapted into a movie, the cast was also very strong and the investment was quite large. However, in the end, it was still in a state where my mother did not recognize it.

As for this ‘corn field’, Takeshi Iwata had hardly heard of it.

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

Ever since, the main enemy is still the "Candyman".

No matter what, let's go to the United States and see.

…

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

"ah?"

"It's so strong! We won!"

"What?"

"Counterattack! A big counterattack is underway!?"

"What the hell are you talking about?"

As soon as he arrived in Los Angeles, Takeshi Iwata was surprised.

I don’t know what Jennifer and the others ate, but they were so excited that they started yelling all kinds of things when they saw her.

However, I also heard that "Happy Death Day" should have performed very well.

But what happened?

"Ahem...that's it, let me explain it."

Jennifer, America's sweetheart, smoothed her hair after she went crazy, and then she elaborated.

"Actually, it's like this. At first, we were very worried, but then..."

Needless to say, the subsequent development is really surprising.

Cassandra, the big and white Queen of Darkness, said it well. "Candyman" is indeed good, but what are the advantages and disadvantages of this movie compared to "Happy Death Day"?

First of all, "Candyman" is indeed an excellent, very American horror film.

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

Moreover, there is a tendency in this story.

It can be said that he said a lot of good things for black Americans, and it can even be said that he exposed the cruel atrocities committed by white slave owners in the United States.

Why does the 'candy man' have so much resentment?

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

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

This move is really cruel, and it feels like losing SAN just thinking about it.

In addition, facing the mirror and saying his name, this mirror is a very common 'prop' in Europe and America.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! It is related to many mythological stories and horror movies, and the mirror has its own horror properties.

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

The movie "Candyman" is a bit too traditional.

To put it simply, at least we can find the ‘ghost’, right?

As long as this kind of ghost film can discover the "ghost", then at least it has a clear goal.

Sometimes it's like this. After you have a goal, your heart becomes much more stable.

So, what about "Happy Death Day"?

No!

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

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

This is not very new.

Some movies do use mysterious power as the final explanation, but there has to be an explanation, right?

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

How come it keeps repeating itself on the same day?

have no idea!

It's not mentioned, it's not in the movie at all.

Of course, the heroine Terry did break this cycle, but her break seemed to be just a matter of luck.

Oh, this is fun.

However, there is also a deep terror in it.
