"I really don't know what Wang Yifan is thinking. No one else is going to make horror movies that are not good at the top."

"It's hard for me to understand this, isn't science fiction movies good?"

"It's probably difficult to see in China."

Netizens also discussed the news very enthusiastically.

In fact, many people are not optimistic about Wang Yifan directing a low-cost horror film.

Nothing else, horror movies, thrillers and other movies have many audiences, but domestic horror movies have left a deep impression on people.

In fact, in the market of island countries, horror movies are really worthwhile.

Other videos may not be so easy to get started.

When Wang Yifan wants to make a horror movie, he certainly chose the best one.

"Midnight Bell" is the movie chosen by Wang Yifan.

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 hot films, in terms of cost-effective return on investment, "Midnight Bell" is definitely strong enough!

The key is that "Midnight Bell" is really simple to shoot. In fact, there are not many horrifying scenes in the whole film, but it impresses countless people, or is unforgettable!

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

In fact, this is also the reason why many big directors don’t direct low-cost films. Their own pay is there, so how can they cost less?

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

I think that with Wang Yifan's identity and status, his movies, even horror movies, are definitely popular with well-known artists.

For China, 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 more special first-tier actresses, this is still a very good opportunity.

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

The Asian superstar title is still very attractive.

And the island country was in a state of excitement. It was a movie directed by Wang Yifan. And in the island country, what happened to horror movies? Horror movies may be made by others, and those top stars will not look down on them, but they have no qualifications to refuse Wang Yifan's movies.

......

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

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

Wang Yifan actually didn't take the selection of new directors from the island country very seriously. The situation in the island country and China is completely different.

Domestic directors basically have three aspects.

One is from a professional background, but not limited to the directorial profession!

Usually there are photography, director, performance, etc.

The other one is a director who is a grassroots director, and some of them are mentioned in the origins, including photography enthusiasts, and others who do other behind the scenes.

However, more of them are those who become monks halfway through the journey, and the most common ones are photography.

In fact, the threshold for the director profession is high and high, but it is really low.

"It is best to shoot a short film, any work can be done, and then filter it according to its 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 days of film, that was fatal, and shooting short films or something would also cost a lot.

However, now, due to the popularity and convenience of digital images, many people only have a camcorder on hand, and even take a step back and can take experimental works on their mobile phones.

Wang Yifan was not in a hurry at all.

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

By the way, I'll accompany my girlfriend or something.

If a director like Wang Yifan is a big production or something, he will naturally be very busy. But if he is just making a low-cost movie, it is really not easy. He will be a hand-off manager in everything, especially in the early preparations. He doesn’t need to come forward or intervene. Naturally, other people from the team will help him do these things.

Chen Zhixian has already made the script of "Midnight Bell", but the preparation has not yet begun. Instead, he will prepare to adapt it into a novel. At that time, he will publish the novel in the island country first, which will hype it up.

This doesn't require Wang Yifan to do it, so naturally some professionals will adapt it. What Wang Yifan provides is just a creativity and a story outline.

In fact, when you reach Wang Yifan's level, many things are really just named.

For example, in "Midnight Bell", Wang Yifan first took out a story outline and asked the screenwriter team members to fill it in. After a few changes to the manuscript, Wang Yifan finally made the decision to pass.

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

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

The last novel will also be named Wang Yifan.

This is the celebrity effect!

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 coins, is almost regarded as an idol by many people in the island country.

But what Wang Yifan didn't expect was that on the island country, Toei Gang and Huaxin announced that they would become strategic partners, especially the new star guide plan. Toei Island country was actually allowed to join, which made some people in the Bangzi Country envious.

Therefore, CJ Entertainment, one of the four major film and television companies in Bangzi, also began to send people to China, hoping to cooperate with Huaxin, and the other party wanted to cooperate the most was the new star guide plan!

The power of the four billion directors is still quite great.

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

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

Because compared to the island country, although the film market in Bangzi Country is still a bit worse, it is also a relatively large market in Asia.

However, the requirements for cj entertainment are not high, but the conditions are good.

If CJ Entertainment joins, then the target market of the third phase of the new Star Guide Program will not be limited to island countries, but will also be issued in Bangzi Country.

This is naturally very useful for the new star guide program to expand its influence.

CJ Entertainment’s power on Bangzi is indeed strong enough. After discussion, Toei agreed to join the new star director plan of Huaxin. Of course, CJ Entertainment paid a price not low, and Bangzi’s new director will only have two places!

For Huaxin, it is not too big to put one sheep in, but it can be said to be an unexpected surprise.

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

With the endorsement of CJ and Toei, it will be much smoother!
Chapter completed!
