1291. Another film for the Olympics
Wang Yifan nodded subconsciously, but then he was a little surprised again.
To be honest, he found that he really underestimated the literary and artistic film directors like Zhou Zhan and others.
It has to be admitted that although Zhou Zhan’s analysis and interpretation are a bit creepy, it does have its own set of logic that can achieve logical self-consistent.
"When Dr. Hannibal found that the person he wanted to help was not realized in the end and could not help the patient, then his negative emotions were also huge!
When these negative emotions accumulate to a certain level, they burst out, and there may be a devil standing on the back of each healer.
The most terrifying thing is that this devil himself never thinks he is a devil. He will think that everyone is drunk and I am awake alone. He will think that what he is doing is great and sacred."
Wang Yifan was completely convinced.
So, he is really not suitable for making any literary and artistic movies.
Because this is a damn thing, what is the interpretation of it?
He was afraid that after he fell into it, he would probably make himself abnormal!
He understood why the clown in "The Dark Knight" committed suicide in his previous life.
I also understand why some actors suffer from depression and other diseases.
It would be considered good without perverts.
So, he would just make some superficial movies honestly.
Let artists like Zhou Zhan and Ma Qingshan take pictures of these profound things.
Zhou Zhan was particularly excited because he really loved this script of "The Silence of the Lambs".
"This story is great. It is not only artistic, but also very entertaining. It can be said that you can try to truly achieve a delicate balance between business and art!" Zhou Zhan couldn't help but quiver.
"But..." At this time, Zhou Zhan frowned again.
"But what?" Wang Yifan was a little curious.
"If you want to make this movie well, the actors are too important." Zhou Zhan said with a frown.
Wang Yifan nodded. Indeed, good movies also require good actors to perform.
If the actor's choice is biased, it is easy to get out of the show.
"To be honest, the role of Dr. Hannibal is very difficult to find, because this role is too critical and can be said to be the core of the whole movie. If Hannibal's actors act well, then the whole movie will have hope of becoming a classic. On the contrary, once Dr. Hannibal is not performed well, the quality of the whole movie will be greatly reduced!" Zhou Zhan said seriously.
"This is your problem. Moreover, if you want to make this movie, you are not just an actor. You, as a director, also need to have an in-depth understanding of relevant affairs in the United States, such as how FBI handles cases, what is the prototype of a serial murder case in history, and so on."
"This is naturally. What I worry about the most is the actors. You know, it is really hard to find actors for a role like Dr. Hannibal, especially if you play this role well, you can even become a classic role, but once there is a deviation, it will also destroy this role."
"And the actors who play this role, experience life in this aspect, is too..." Zhou Zhan shook his head.
Wang Yifan couldn't help rolling his eyes in his heart.
Your uncle, can you still want actors to experience cannibalism?
What a joke?
"Director Wang, when will the preparations for this movie start?" Zhou Zhan suddenly asked again.
"It's OK to see you anytime!" Wang Yifan said with a faint smile.
Maybe he can't make such a movie, but he really doesn't care much about movie investment, promotion and other aspects.
Because, Wang Yifan's reputation has been played out long ago, even in Hollywood.
Moreover, this story may give people a shocking feeling in China, but in Hollywood, such movies can be said to be definitely the favorite of those media giants.
Because this kind of movie is actually not too expensive, but once it is successful, this kind of movie can make a big fortune with small profits.
The key is that movies with this kind of theme are actually very interesting.
In my previous life, "The Silence of the Lambs" actually did not do all its public relations, because the companies that released the film were on the verge of bankruptcy.
Finally, he gritted his teeth and took out $200,000 and sent "The Silence of the Lambs" to the Oscars.
The result is self-evident. Although the results of "The Silence of the Lambs" are simply incomparable to hard-press films like "Titanic".
But in the same thriller movie, "The Silence of the Lambs" can be said to have created a miracle.
Of course, this has a lot to do with the fact that "The Silence of the Lambs" was indeed very well filmed back then.
At the same time, in his previous life, "The Silence of the Lambs" was not only favored by Oscars in art, but also achieved remarkable results in business.
Not only did it earn a box office of over 100 million US dollars in North America, but it also performed quite well overseas, with a total box office even approaching 300 million US dollars at one point.
As a thriller/drama movie, "The Silence of the Lambs" has achieved outstanding results!
Of course, the success of this movie can be said to be inseparable from the efforts of the actors and directors.
In order to play the role of the heroine Clarice and other crew members, in order to play a good role, they specially visited the FBI Agent Training Center in Quantico, Virginia, and learned a lot of weapons and agent courses.
These are relatively normal, or relatively easy to do.
Because at least, it is still a normal category.
The most difficult one is the absolute core character in "The Silence of the Lambs", Dr. Hannibal.
In order to play a good role in the film, Anthony Hopkins studied many serial killer cases, visited prisoners in prison, and even went to the court to attend the trial. Of course, his wonderful performance also rewarded him. Anthony Hopkins appeared in the film for only 21 minutes, becoming the shortest performance to win the Oscar for Best Actor.
Of course, Zhou Zhan wanted to make this movie well, in fact, it was even more difficult than in his previous life.
Because, after all, he is a Chinese director and needs to be familiar with and understand many things in the United States again.
After all, the background of this movie is based on the real American society.
Of course, these can be overcome.
The most difficult thing is the candidate for Dr. Hannibal.
"Let's do this, I will arrange the movie project as soon as possible. It will take some time, and you don't need to be so anxious. When the movie project is officially launched, you will be notified at that time." Wang Yifan said with a smile.
In fact, the launch of the movie project may take a long time for others to start, but for Wang Yifan, it is really not difficult.
But "The Silence of the Lambs" is different. He must bring other Hollywood companies to do this movie, because if this movie is made, it will definitely be a trip to the Oscars.
Chapter completed!
