1348. Edge Director
In fact, there were a few movies in my previous life, which were considered ceiling movies for domestic thrillers.
For example, "The Master of Hypnosis", but this movie is classified as thriller, which is actually a bit far-fetched. To be honest, this movie should be classified as suspense.
In fact, to a certain extent, what is used in "Hypnosis Master" is to put it bluntly, it is somewhat similar to Fang Xiongfei and others selling dog meat under the guise of sheep.
But it has technicalized the original supernatural elements.
Elements such as hypnosis, psychologists, etc. are themselves mysterious things, especially for ordinary people.
But in the same way, these things can perfectly explain some abnormal phenomena.
For example, if a person does something he would never do in the past, such as murder, crime, etc., it may not necessarily be explained by supernatural phenomena. Hypnosis is actually a very good story logic and technical point.
Of course, "The Master of Hypnosis" is not a perfect movie. It can even be said that this movie can only be regarded as full of sincerity.
But for domestic movies, it is actually very rare to be sincere.
In fact, "The Master of Hypnosis" also has heavy imitation traces. There have been many movies similar to "The Master of Hypnosis" in Hollywood earlier.
The most classic one is "Far Cry of the Island", and later "The Passenger in the Air Crash"!
Although "The Master of Hypnosis" has traces of imitation, it is actually a good movie in terms of domestic thrillers.
Fang Xiongfei is currently saying that it is very difficult to let him film "The Master of Hypnosis".
Because in fact, the most core thing about "Hypnosis Master" is suspense, not thriller.
Moreover, "Hypnosis Master" also has high requirements for actors. Although Wang Yifan's fame is not worried about actors, Wang Yifan is a little worried about forcing the growth of the seedlings.
So, after thinking about it, did the "Hypnosis Master" finally fall?
Fang Xiongfei was very nervous, and Wang Yifan was not talking for a long time, which made him feel very distressed.
My mind is also messy. Did you show it too much just now?
Or what made director Wang Yifan dissatisfied?
After a long time, Wang Yifan smiled and said, "Sorry, I was thinking about the script just now."
When Fang Xiongfei heard Wang Yifan's words, even at the age of his body, he was happy.
"Have Director Fang ever made that kind of film? How to say it? An infinite loop of movie?" Wang Yifan asked with a smile.
Fang Xiongfei was a little confused when he heard the infinite loop.
He shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Director Wang, you may not know much about our industry. The cost of each movie is very limited, and the time is very fast. Most of the time, the script is not even ready-made, and it is written on the spot, and the scene is adjusted. Therefore, most of the time, the plot is the same..."
"However, I have watched the movies with infinite loops, such as the more famous "One" in Hollywood, which is a story about a person cycling infinitely in a day. For example, there is a movie in Italy, "Resentful Souls", which talks about a ghost. Because of her tragic death, she became resentful soul and gained the ability to constantly experience the process of her being killed..."
Fang Xiongfei continued quickly, fearing that Wang Yifan would change his mind because he had never made such a movie.
"Xu Mei is a single mother!" Wang Yifan actually thought of "Horror Cruise" just now, but this story was originally from abroad, so he had to make magic modifications.
So, I thought about it for a while.
Fortunately, now he just needs to say something about it.
Fang Xiongfei listened very seriously, although he was still confused at the moment.
Dai Xinyue also listened very seriously. In fact, Fang Xiongfei could be said to be the one who made up the numbers among the three.
Yes, in Dai Xinyue's opinion, it's just a matter of making up for the numbers, because to be honest, horror movies are really too difficult in China.
And there has never been any top hits. For other small companies, small-cost movies may cost millions or tens of millions of dollars, which is good.
But for the Light and Shadow of Times, what they lack is not such a movie, but the real directors who can shoulder the big responsibility.
As for why he chose Fang Xiongfei, it is actually a reward for his contribution.
Although Fang Xiongfei may make a movie that can make hundreds of thousands or millions at most, this is the output of a movie.
You should know that operating heavy assets such as theaters are actually very expensive to sink.
First of all, the theaters provide movie sources for cinemas, and the number of daily scenes is fixed most of the time, and these film sources are popular and unsold.
There is also free time and popular time.
Prime time is so natural and no problem, and its cinemas can be used to the maximum extent.
But those non-prime time periods are very wasteful.
For example, midnight show, there are actually quite a lot of people watching midnight movies, but many movies are not suitable for midnight show.
Therefore, directors like Fang Xiongfei and others are very important. Although their movies are criticized, they are criticized for making one movie, and gradually become synonymous with bad movies.
Moreover, they are not accepted by the mainstream film industry, but the movies made by them solve the biggest problem in theaters. They can not only bring audiences to midnight theaters and reduce operating costs pressure, but also bring profits.
Even though these profits may be worth more than how many billions can Wang Yifan earn, it is not enough to watch, but they are the way to survive in theaters.
But people go to high places and water flows to low places. Although these movies seem to be not expensive, it may cost hundreds of thousands of dollars for a movie, and it seems that they are all bad movies.
But it does not mean that bad movies are not carefully considered. In fact, among these movies, there are also good and bad, and the box office is high and low.
It is also a big difference whether the cost can be controlled and whether it can be completed on time to make a movie.
Fang Xiongfei is undoubtedly the best in this regard. Even the movies he made are not good at, but at least, it is much better than other similar movies.
Moreover, many marginal directors like Fang Xiongfei and others actually have no hope. Most of the time, such directors have the highest mobility.
Because, in fact, although these directors themselves make a lot of money, they have no professional hope.
Even his status is worse than that of an advertising director.
Therefore, those who are capable will leave quickly most of the time.
Therefore, if Fang Xiongfei can stand out, he can also point out a way and a spacious avenue to these marginal directors.
Of course, Dai Xinyue also knew that it is really unlikely and too difficult for directors like Fang Xiongfei to stand out and become a great director.
But what if?
And even if you can't become a big director, even a well-known director is still a very good role model, right?
