The Director of Music Department

"I really don't know what Wang Yifan is thinking. The great director ran to make a horror film that was not popular, and there was no one left.

"It's hard for me to understand. Are science fiction movies not popular?"

"It is estimated that it is difficult to see in China."

Netizens also discussed the news very enthusiastically.

In fact, many people are not too optimistic about the small-cost horror film directed by Wang Yifan.

Nothing else, horror films, thrillers and other movies, although there are many audiences, but domestic horror films leave a deep impression on people.

In fact, in the island country market, horror films are actually promising.

Other videos may not be so easy to cut in.

Wang Yifan wants to make a horror movie, and of course he chooses the best.

"The Ring of Midnight" is the film Wang Yifan chose.

This movie once set a box office record for horror movies in the island country, with a box office of 12 billion yen. Although it can’t compare with those super-strong movies, in terms of cost return on investment, "Midnight Ring" is definitely strong enough. !

The key is that "The Ring of Midnight" is really simple to shoot. The whole film is actually not terrifying, but it makes countless people impressed, or unforgettable!

"Midnight Ring" will not be a big production, of course, as Wang Yifan, no matter what movie he makes, even if it is a small-cost horror movie, the final cost will not be low. After all, his own personal The pay is there, even if most of the pay is converted into a box office share, it will still make the cost of the film soar.

In fact, this is also the reason why many big directors do not direct low-cost films. Their own remuneration is placed there. How low-cost?

Of course, the benefits of a big director as the director of a small-cost film are also predictable.

Come to think of it, with Wang Yifan's identity and status, his films, even horror films, are definitely in droves by well-known artists.

For China, many people are eager to try after learning the news.

Of course, those top actresses may not be willing, but for some second- and third-line actors and some more special first-line actresses, this is still a very Good opportunity.

Because this film will become their business card for entering the island market and even the Southeast Asian market.

The name of Asian superstars is also very attractive.

As for the island country, it was boiling directly. That was a movie directed by Wang Yifan, and what happened to the horror film in the island country? Horror movies may be made by others, and those top stars will look down upon them, but for Wang Yifan's movies, they have no right to refuse.

...

"How does Toei plan to select new directors from the island country?" Wang Yifan asked.

Tsukamoto Oshima pondered for a moment and said, "Where is Director Wang's suggestion?"

In fact, Wang Yifan didn't pay much attention to the selection of new directors in island countries. The situation in island countries and China is completely different.

There are basically three aspects to domestic directors.

One is from a professional class, but it is not limited to director majors!

Usually there are photography majors, director majors, performance majors, etc.

The other is a grass-roots director. There are people from that background. There are photography enthusiasts and others who do other work behind the scenes.

However, most of them are those who are born in the middle of nowhere, and the most are from photography.

In fact, in the profession of director, the threshold is high and high, and low is really low.

"It's best to make a short film, any work is fine, and then filter based on his work." Wang Yifan thought for a while and said.

In fact, for modern times, shooting experimental short films is much more convenient than before. In the early film era, it was terrible. Shooting short films or something would also cost a lot of money.

But now, because of the popularity and convenience of digital imaging, many people only have a camcorder on hand, and even take a step back, and mobile phones can shoot experimental works.

Wang Yifan was not in a hurry about this matter.

"Edge of Tomorrow" has not been fully released in some countries overseas, so he naturally has to rest.

By the way, accompany your girlfriend or something.

Directors like Wang Yifan, if you are shooting a big production or something, then naturally you will not be busy, but if you are only shooting a small-cost movie, it really shouldn’t be too easy. Everything is going to be the shopkeeper, especially the preliminary preparations. Go out and intervene, and naturally there will be other people in the team to help him do these things.

Chen Zhixian has already made the script for "The Ring of Midnight", but he has not yet begun preparations, but is preparing to adapt it into a novel first. The novel will be published in the island country first, and there will be a wave of hype.

This doesn’t need to be done by Wang Yifan. It is naturally adapted by professionals. What Wang Yifan provides is just an idea, a story outline.

In fact, at the level of Wang Yifan, many things are really just nicknames.

For example, "The Ring of Midnight", Wang Yifan first produced a story outline, and then asked the screenwriter to fill it in. After several changes of the draft, Wang Yifan finally approved it.

The difference is that this time, screenwriters from Toei's island country will participate in the script writing.

Then comes the novel, and the novel will also be adapted by some writers invited by Toei.

The final novel will also bear the name of Wang Yifan.

Celebrity effect is like that!

Although Wang Yifan is not a star, he is already more popular than many stars.

Especially in the island country, a country that worships the strong, Wang Yifan, the director who created a box office of 4 billion Chinese dollars, is almost regarded as an idol by many people in the island country.

What Wang Yifan didn't expect was that on the island country, Toei Gang and Huaxin announced that they had become strategic partners, especially for the New Star Guidance Program. The island country Toei was also allowed to join, which made some people in Bangzi country envy.

As a result, CJ Entertainment, one of the four major film and television companies in Bangzi Country, also began to send people to China, hoping to cooperate with Huaxin, and the other party most wanted to cooperate is the New Star Guide Project!

The power of a four billion director is still considerable.

CJ Entertainment hopes to be able to join the third phase of this new star guide program.

In this regard, Huaxin did not directly refuse, but brought Toei to discuss it together. If CJ Entertainment joins, it is actually not a bad thing.

Because compared to island countries, the movie market in Bangzi Country is still a bit worse, but it is still a relatively large market in Asia.

The requirements of CJ Entertainment are not high, but the conditions are good.

If CJ Entertainment joins, then the third phase of the New Star Guidance Program, the target market will not be limited to island countries, the same will also be released in Bangzi country.

This is naturally very useful for expanding the influence of the New Star Guidance Project.

CJ Entertainment’s power on the stick is indeed strong enough. After discussion, Toei agreed to join CJ Entertainment in the new star guide plan of Huaxin. Of course, the price paid by CJ Entertainment is not low, and the stick There will only be two places for new directors!

For Huaxin, anyway, one sheep is also released, and two sheep are also released. It doesn't matter much, but it can be said to be a surprise.

Because this means that the markets of the two countries, Bangzi Country and Island Country, will be open to the third phase of the New Star Project!

With the endorsement of CJ and Toei, it will go smoothly!
