The Director of Music Department

"I really don't know what Wang Yifan is thinking. There is no one left for a big director to make a horror movie that is not popular."

"It's also hard for me to understand. Aren't sci-fi movies good?"

"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 low-budget horror film directed by Wang Yifan.

Although there are quite a few audiences for movies such as horror movies and thrillers, domestic horror movies leave a deep impression on people.

In fact, in the island country's market, horror movies really have a lot to do.

Other films may not be so easy to cut into.

Wang Yifan wanted to make a horror movie, of course he chose the best one.

"Midnight Ring" 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 cannot be compared with those super blockbuster movies, "Midnight Ring" is definitely strong enough in terms of cost return on investment. !

The key is that "Midnight Ring" is really relatively simple to shoot. In fact, there are not many scary scenes in the whole film, but it has impressed countless people, 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 low-budget horror movie, the final cost will not be too low. After all, his own personal The salary is there, even if most of the salary is converted into box office share, it will still make the cost of the film skyrocket.

In fact, this is also the reason why many big directors don't direct low-budget films. Their own salaries are there, so how can they be low-cost?

Of course, the benefits of a big director acting as a director of a low-budget film are also foreseeable.

Come to think of it, with Wang Yifan's identity and status, some of his movies, even if they are horror movies, are definitely flocked to by well-known entertainers.

For the country, many people are eager to try after hearing the news.

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

Because this film will become their business card to enter the island market, and even the Southeast Asian market.

The name of an Asian superstar is still very attractive.

On the other side of the island country, it was immediately boiling. It was a movie directed by Wang Yifan, and what happened to horror movies in the island country? Horror movies may be made by others, and those top stars will look down on 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, "What about Director Wang's suggestion?"

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

Domestic directors basically have three aspects.

One is from a professional background, but not limited to directing!

Usually there are photography majors, directing majors, acting majors, etc.

The other one is a grass-roots director, so I have already mentioned the origin, some are photography enthusiasts, and some are doing other work behind the scenes, etc.

But more of them are half-way monks, and most of them are from photography background.

In fact, as a director, the threshold is high if you say it is high, but it is really low if you say it is low.

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

In fact, for modern times, making experimental short films is much more convenient than before. In the early film era, that was fatal. Making short films also required a lot of cost.

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

Wang Yifan was in no hurry about this matter.

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

By the way, accompany my girlfriend or something.

For a director like Wang Yifan, if he is making a big production, he will naturally be very busy, but if he is only making a low-budget movie, then he really shouldn’t be too easy, and he will be the master of everything, especially the pre-production, and he is not needed at all. Go out and intervene, and naturally other members of the team will help him do these things.

Chen Zhixian has already finished the script of "Midnight Ring", but preparations have not yet started. Instead, he is preparing to adapt it into a novel. At that time, the novel will be published first in the island country to create a wave of enthusiasm.

There is no need for Wang Yifan to handle this. Naturally, professionals will adapt it. What Wang Yifan provides is just an idea, a story outline.

In fact, at Wang Yifan's level, many things are really just a name.

For example, in "Midnight Ring", Wang Yifan first came up with a story outline, and then asked the members of the screenwriting team to fill it in. After several revisions of the draft, Wang Yifan finally decided to pass it.

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

Then there are novels, which will also be adapted by some writers invited by Toei.

And the novel that comes out in the end will also bear Wang Yifan's name.

That's what celebrity is all about!

Although Wang Yifan is not a celebrity, he is already more popular than many celebrities.

Especially in the island country, a country that worships the strong, Wang Yifan, a director who has 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 Toei had just announced to become a strategic partner with Huaxin, especially the new star guide project, and Toei was allowed to join, which made some people in Bangzi country envious.

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 what the other party most wanted to cooperate with was the New Star Guide Project!

The power of four billion directors is still quite large.

For CJ Entertainment, we hope to join the third phase of the Rising Star Guide Program this time.

In this regard, Huaxin did not directly refuse, but invited Toei to discuss together. If CJ Entertainment joined, it would not be a bad thing.

Because compared to the island countries, although the film market in Bangzi Country is not as good, it can be regarded as a relatively large market in Asia.

CJ Entertainment's requirements are not high, but the conditions are good.

If CJ Entertainment joins, then the third phase of the Rising Star Guide Project will not be limited to island countries, and 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 influence on Bangzi is indeed strong enough. After discussion, Toei agreed to join CJ Entertainment in Huaxin's new star guide plan. Of course, the price paid by CJ Entertainment is not low, and Bangzi There will only be two places for newcomer directors!

For Huaxin, one sheep is also herded anyway, and two sheep are also herded, which is not a big deal, but it can be said to be a pleasant surprise.

Because this means that the markets of Bangzi Country and Island Country will both be open to the movies of the third phase of the New Star Director Project!

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