369. The same routine, different stories

The director's screening is actually very simple. The first round of screening is said to be fair, but in fact, there is nothing really fair in this world.

Moreover, the director seems to have a low technical content, just sitting behind the monitor and shouting, but in fact, the director's threshold is really quite high.

Directors in China, especially those who are professional, actually have a very distinctive feature, that is, they are all artistic.

This is related to their teachers and the school's education method. They may have much more basic skills than those grassroots and those who became monks halfway through, but on the other hand, their ideas about movies are more self-centered.

Simply put, most professional directors have more ideas.

For Wang Yifan and others, at this stage, what they need is the most unscrupulous and self-centered director.

Why did Wang Yifan take the project himself and then find a director? It’s not just for insurance?

On the contrary, directors who became monks halfway and new directors who have experienced social training will be more realistic.

And this is what Wang Yifan and the others want at this stage.

The first round of screening is very simple, it depends on your past works.

Yes, even if it’s an experimental film, at least, you can’t really be a “new” director!

No matter how much you say it is better to do it.

So, there are many people who sign up, and there are still people who bring their own projects, but the final result is that they are all washed down.

Because, at least, you are a director, and you have to prove that you can shoot things and tell stories. Therefore, through the first round, there are some directors with works.

For example, Yang Qin has quite a lot of works. Although they are all very low-cost horror movies that sell dog meat with the help of sheep, they are already considered relatively excellent.

Especially Yang Qin's resume, although most of the movies she made have not been heard of, many people have not lost money!

The key is that although the movie is a mess, it can prove that she can make a movie.

Don't underestimate this!

The cost of millions is also money, and no one is willing to use it to waste it. It would be better to donate it directly to charity.

So, I did find a new director, but this new is different from the new one that everyone understands.

"Because, a large part of the directors we selected are directors who make micro-films, online movies, and low-cost horror movies. These types of movies have one characteristic, and their genre is particularly serious. Therefore, they are more experienced in this regard and can save a lot of things." Wang Yifan explained.

The first batch of projects Wang Yifan chose all have one characteristic, that is, the scene is special and very simple.

Although these script stories are quite interesting, it is not realistic to let those new directors make too complicated movies from the beginning.

Yang Qin became the first lucky one.

However, when Yang Qin got the script, she was also a little confused.

Why do I say that? Because of this script, I saw this script in the first day of junior high school and felt like I was returning to my old career.

The name of this script is "The Dark Side".

Because of the plot of this book, Yang Qin feels like selling dog meat with a sheep's head.

If you let go of the shooting, it will definitely be at the level of the Eighteen Forbidden.

But obviously, it is impossible for the Rising Star to spend millions to get her to make a movie like this.

However, after reading the script carefully, Yang Qin felt a little impressed.

Why? Because, she has made many movies of this type before, but she really can't compare.

Because this script, although to sum up, is actually very simple, it is a series of things caused by a woman who forgot to bring the key.

But the story is very strong, and it is definitely not selling dog meat under the guise of sheep, but it is really interesting.

The horror movies in domestic movies usually implement a routine, that is, when it is promoted, they are linked to supernatural, but the result is nothing to do with supernatural.

Well, it couldn't be related, otherwise it wouldn't be passed.

The plot of "Dark Side" is actually very simple, and the scene is very single, which is definitely a standard configuration for a small cost. The main story is that it takes place in a house. In order to test her boyfriend, the heroine hid in the secret room. People in the secret room can observe the room from the secret room, but the sound in the secret room cannot be heard at all, and she can only enter and exit through the key. However, she entered the secret room and found that she forgot to bring the key...

Then I saw my boyfriend and another woman rolling the sheets on her big bed...

Well, to summarize it simply, it is actually that scumbags can't stand the test, and scumbags are not much better.

Therefore, such a movie is actually very interesting because it grasps a key point: Should love be tested?

In other words, this is a very scheming movie. Although it is a small cost, it may not be unsatisfactory.

Yang Qin thought a lot, such as what does "Dark Side" mean, what theme, and so on.

For example, when exploring human nature, everyone has their own dark side.

Yang Qin really thought a lot, why? She really wanted this opportunity too much.

However, the next day, Wang Yifan didn't ask these questions at all, but asked directly: "How are you planning to make this movie?"

Yang Qin was stunned for a moment.

However, she certainly thought about this question. As a veteran in making "pseudo-" horror movies, she is still very good at creating suspense.

"I will use a two-perspective narrative method to shoot. The first half focuses on telling it from the perspective of the second female lead in the 'third party', which can create some suspense."

"First of all, I want to create a series of mysterious events that the male and female protagonists have disappeared from the mysterious disappearance of their girlfriends to the series of mysterious events encountered by their new girlfriends in the house, so that the audience can feel that this will be a haunted house movie, to suggest that the audience guesses that the male protagonist's ex-girlfriend is dead and his soul is still gone, and the subsequent direction may be a human-ghost entanglement.

Then, when the audience falls into this idea, they must start to create a reversal that surprises the audience. The plot of the movie is divided into two sections, which are respectively developed by the two girlfriends of the hero's protagonist in two rooms explained later. The first section is the new girlfriend "met encounters a ghost", creating various suspense, and the second half is the missing girlfriend, and her story just explains the various reasons why the new girlfriend "met encounters a ghost"..."

After the story was over, Yang Qin was a little nervous.

Because her ideas were actually influenced by those pseudo-horror films, because this is the most commonly used routine for domestic horror films under the banner of "supernatural".

The difference is that Wang Yifan's script story of "Dark Side" can be self-justified and then implanted with a theme and a core, making the film no longer so empty.

The suspense ahead is whether the heroine died? Is it her ghost?

The answer was revealed in the middle part, but the latter part is very different from the domestic low-cost horror movies.
