666. It will really scare people to death
Wang Yifan was not too concerned about the casting of "Midnight Bell", because to put it bluntly, the actors are really not the focus. Of course, it is also because Wang Yifan's movie, whether it is Toei or Huaxin, the Rising Star dare not really make an unsavory actor to fool Wang Yifan.
So, naturally, we are striving for excellence. Anyway, Wang Yifan's movies are definitely not short of money.
Even if it is a small cost, it depends on who it is compared with. Wang Yifan's movie is said to be a small cost, but the final cost of "Midnight Bell" plus the promotion and promotion cost is at least 100 million!
It’s not that I don’t want to add more, but because "Midnight Bell" is a horror film after all, and the market is limited. Another thing is that there is no need to spend too much, because the biggest part of this film involved in spending money is actually the director Wang Yifan’s pay, and the other ones, with today’s special effects technology, it really doesn’t cost much.
Because there is actually only one special effect screen, Sadako crawled out of the TV screen.
However, Wang Yifan is actually a little worried, not because he is worried that the movie is not scary enough, but because he is worried that it is too scary.
Especially now is the 3D era. Imagine the previous life, the 2D era "Midnight Bell" when Sadako crawled out of the screen, which scared many people. It is said that some people were scared to death on the spot!
This is a real thing, not a random talk.
Perhaps the person who was scared to death was indeed because of his own physical reasons, but this is a real fact.
Now, if you want to use 3D images to present that scene, Wang Yifan is really worried that it will scare people.
Moreover, it is said that there are more than one person who was scared to death in his previous life, but three people. Many people were scared to illness after watching the movie. Of course, it may be exaggerated, but it also proves that this movie is really scary!
"You often don't need to watch the most terrifying things, but guide you to think about them." This sentence is very good at interpreting Sadako's horror points. Because Sadako's image creation is not only terrifying in appearance, but also because of her horror psychology. The 7-day death deadline, passing the videotape to others can eliminate death. Such a setting makes people panic from the heart. It is not unreasonable that this movie has become the world's number one scary ghost movie. Although it is not that scary now, it is indeed super scary at that time.
Wang Yifan is still a little worried about this!
After communicating with Toei's Tsunamoto Oshima, Tsunamoto Oshima's reaction made Wang Yifan a little shocked by the capitalist's ruthlessness.
The first reaction of Tsukamoto Oshima was whether Wang Yifan was exaggerating, and the second reaction was that if it was really so scary, so what if it was so scary?
As long as the movie can be successful, he really doesn't mind!
"Aren't you worried about arousing public anger?" Wang Yifan asked with a frown.
"Director Wang, you are too worried. The movie is so scary. Unless it is someone who is sick, how can it really scare people so scary?" Tsukamoto Oshima obviously still doesn't believe it.
"However, this is a very good publicity stunt. We can set up a warning sign at the entrance of the theater to warn people with heart problems not to enter, and warn those who are timid not to enter. I think it will be completely OK." Tsukamoto Oshima said with a smile.
Wang Yifan sighed. In fact, this is also a matter of choice.
The most important thing about "Midnight Bell" is that it is scary. If there is no classic and horrible scene, the movie will definitely lose its color. No, it should be said that without the classic scene, this movie will not be praised as the number one ghost movie in Asia in its previous life!
But if that scene is really taken, Wang Yifan will be really worried that it will scare people!
"Director Wang, you don't have to worry at all. There are many people in our island country who love horror movies. This kind of movie will attract enthusiasts in this field. Their ability to withstand is still very strong! I think it's a bit exaggerated to be scared to death by the movie?" Tsukamoto Oshima still frowned, and couldn't help but feel a little suspicious when he saw Wang Yifan frowning.
"Well, then wait until I shoot that scene and try it out!" Wang Yifan also knew that it is indeed difficult to believe that a movie can have such great power.
In fact, whether it is the island country or the Bangzi country, there have been many banned videos. These banned videos are not because of S love or something, but because the scenes are too bloody, disgusting, too evil, and incorrect.
But there are really no banned for being scared.
So it’s no wonder that Tsukamoto Oshima doesn’t believe it very much. Wang Yifan’s movies are really that scary.
This also has a certain relationship with the famous heavy taste of the island people. After all, many horror films on the island countries are really large in scale, and these movies have not been banned or otherwise.
Besides, Tsukamoto Oshima is afraid that it can really scare people as Wang Yifan said.
Because Toei first participated in the investment in this movie, he did not think about making a profit from this movie, but hoped to introduce the number one director of Asia, Wang Yifan!
So, even if it is finally banned, to be honest, this is not a bad thing.
However, Wang Yifan sighed that although the island country's films have developed a bit strange, capitalists and businessmen like Tsukamoto Oshima still have a keen eye.
He immediately suggested to Wang Yifan whether the content of their conversation could be put at the opening ceremony for publicity and warm-up?
It doesn't matter to Wang Yifan. It's good to preheat this kind of publicity. Although many people are very stubborn, they know that there is a tiger in the mountain and tend to travel to Tiger Mountain. He dares to say that if they really promote it like this, it will not only not scare those movie fans, but will also attract people's curiosity about this movie.
What kind of horror movie can actually be said to be scary?
In terms of actor casting, Toei quickly selected three household-known star actors from the island countries for Wang Yifan to choose.
At the beginning of "Midnight Bell", because the setting was an island country and the place where the story took place was also an island country, Tsukamoto Oshima always hoped that all the island country actors could be played, but whether it was Wang Yifan, Huaxin, CJ Entertainment, etc., they would definitely not agree.
In the end, the three main characters were divided into three countries.
The heroine finally selected the famous actor of the island country, Tomoko Nagashima!
The main reason is that the heroine of "Midnight Bell" is the mother of a child, and Tomoko Nagashima has always played the role of a lady, so in this regard, it is relatively in line with the role positioning.
In China, the selected male lead is Qin Hao! He will play the role of Longsi, a senior high school senior.
He is also considered Xingmeng's own family.
