"The Silence of the Lambs is an unconventional yet very typical Chu Group movie. Even though it was directed by David Finch, the script showed the shadow of Xuan showing off his skills.”
"This movie is complicated. You can treat it as a crime mystery film, a horror film, or a psychological analysis film.”
"The redemption, sin, and killing involved in the plot are all mixed together and presented in a two-hour movie.”
"No matter which level it is, it has been done to the extreme.”
"David Finch's scenes and Xuan's story perfectly blend together. Their first time partnering up was a pleasant surprise!”
"The movie uses a lot of hand-held lenses, and the mood is similar to Chu Yang's Paranormal Activity.”
"This can increase the sense of immersion. It allows us to enter the inner world of the female protagonist and feel the evil the world has towards her.”
"Anthony Hopkins used only 20 minutes to completely conquer everyone, including me!”
"Of course, other than his performance, Xuan's character is also perfect.”
"Such criminals are not simply heinous and disgusting.”
"He actually has his own unique charm!!”
"Heavens, I can't believe that I was moved by an Ogre!”
"From this, we can see that Chu's script is a success. Hannibal would also become one of the most iconic characters in film history!!”
"…Overall score, I give you two thumbs up!”
"I won't say anything else to avoid spoiling the drama. Let's go to the cinema and watch it ourselves.”
Roger Ebert, the movie critic who had previously argued with Xuan because of the musical, was completely convinced by Xuan.
After he lost the bet on La La Land, he really went to the Walk of Fame to sell hot dogs for a week.
This matter was also ridiculed by the entertainment media for a long time.
Of course, he couldn't give up the film review industry completely.
After The Silence of the Lambs was released, Roger Ebert went to watch the premiere immediately.
After watching the entire movie, he did not sleep at all. The thoughts in his mind were extremely complicated.
He could even write a thesis of tens of thousands of words based on this movie.
No matter what, such a deep and exciting movie was worth watching.
He decisively gave the highest evaluation, two thumbs up, and recommended that movie fans go to the cinema to watch it carefully.
The 9.2 rating from the imdb-released film proved that it was indeed an excellent film.
Even though Xuan wasn't the director himself, his script, casting, and supervision were enough to brand the film as a product of Xuan.
Initially, many people were not interested in a suspense or horror movie.
Many suspense films in Parallel World were either deliberately mystifying or too silent, making people doze off.
As a result, the box office sales of such films were not very good.
However, after the first scene of the movie was shown, the audience came out to discuss the details of the plot with their companions while enthusiastically rating it on the film review website!
"5 stars! He enjoyed devouring the darkness of others. I really admire the female lead for being so strong!”
"Four and a half stars! As a serial killer, Hannibal was charming! However, there are some scenes where my stomach feels uncomfortable."
"5 stars! It's been a long time since I've seen a movie that fascinated me so much. The entire movie was breathless."
"5 stars! The actor's performance was simply amazing! Hannibal's performance could win him an Oscar! The female lead wasn't bad either. Her acting was even better than Paranormal Activity's!”
"5 stars! I didn't even recognize Clarice as the female lead of Paranormal Activity. Your acting was great!"
"4 stars! Don't watch this movie after you've eaten too much. I vomited in the cinema."
"5 stars! The depressing plot progressed until the last moment! It will definitely become a movie classic!"
……
After the premiere, Xuan got into the car with Elizabeth Olsen, ready to go home.
He sent Aomei back to her apartment and said goodbye to her in the car.
"Chu, are you really not going up to have a glass of champagne to celebrate?”
"I want to go up too, but I have a meeting tomorrow morning. I'm afraid I won't be able to get up…you know.”
"Annoying! Then I'll go back first. Drive slowly.”
"Hey, your performance in the movie was really great. I'm proud of you, sweetheart."
"Hehe, aren't you going to reward me?”
Sister Ao closed her eyes and pouted.
Before she could prepare, Xuan had already kissed her.
The two of them kissed for a long time in the car before reluctantly letting go.
Sister Ao caressed his face, then pushed open the car door and left.
Every time Xuan saw her back, he couldn't help but imagine her wearing a red jacket and smiling back at the Wakanda battlefield.
" No, no matter what, I have to let her play the role of the Red Witch in the next two years, and then let her wear the Red Witch costume... emmmm "
The more Xuan thought about it, the more excited he became.
He hadn't even finished filming The Godfather or Iron Man, but he was already planning to film Avengers 3.
Xuan didn't notice that there was a figure flashing in the car in front of the apartment.
" Eh, it seems like we got a big melon?"
……
The Silence of the Lambs didn't take first place on the first day of box office like La La Land.
Currently, the first place box office was still " The City of True Love ", followed by " La La Land ".
Six weeks after the release of the movie and 10 million USD in a single day, it was simply terrifying!
In third place was The Silence of the Lambs, which earned 7.2 million dollars in a single day.
Although this result was quite good, the entire film's investment was only 10 million US dollars, and it could be returned in a few days.
However, some of the haters were still talking about this phenomenon.
"Xuan's talent has run out.”
"Suspense movies are too boring. No one watches them at all.”
Soon, someone refuted these comments.
"Did you guys watch the movie? No peeing points throughout!"
"This is only the first day. This week's box office champion would definitely not be able to escape.”
"Most people are still used to looking at word of mouth first.”
Indeed, many movie fans liked to look at the scores of the imdbb first, or look at the media reviews before choosing to go to the cinema.
This kind of horror and suspense film did not have its own popularity. It was normal that the box office did not explode on the first day.
Sure enough, three days later, on Sunday, the box office statistics were released!
"The Silence of the Lambs reached the top with 31.68 million in its first week! The City of True Love had been eliminated!”
However, this piece of news did not attract much attention.
Everyone was flooded with another piece of news.
"Genius Chinese director's relationship exposed! The two of them are kissing in the car!"
