114. Directors who can shoot ball scenes are also powerful
In fact, there are not many thriller movies suitable for the domestic market in the past.
After all, some unspeakable reasons do lead to horror films becoming almost deserted in the domestic market.
Although I have seen some of Li Shuang's "works" and it seems quite suitable, Chen Zhixian still needs to meet and chat.
Chen Zhixian actually has a lot of money on hand now, and he wasted it in idle monsters. In addition, he was disgusted by Wu Qiong this time, so he simply tried the relatively good works from his previous life, and could he have the same good performance in this world.
Of course, the cost will definitely not be too high.
"So, in order to get angry, you plan to spend millions to play a ticket?" Chen Shangjun looked at Chen Zhixian with a look of a big dog.
"Who told you that I'm just playing a ticket? I'm a serious investment, okay?" Chen Zhixian looked at Chen Shangjun speechlessly.
"Okay, serious investment, then you are sure to find a bad director who sells domestic meat slices, can you do it?" Chen Shangjun obviously had a misunderstanding of a domestic horror director like Li Shuang.
"You can't say that this kind of director is experienced and fast filming. He knows how to show what the audience likes the most and wants to see the most. And the key is that he has no reputation, low pay, and obedient. Do you think we are looking for those well-known directors now, even if we can ask for them, can they listen to me?" Chen Zhixian said disapprovingly.
Soon the two of them arrived at the place they had made an appointment with Li Shuang, a cafe called Peninsula Coffee.
To be honest, Chen Zhixian and Chen Shangjun were a little surprised when they saw Li Shuang himself. In Chen Zhixian and Chen Shangjun's imagination, the director who sells meat slices every day should be a director who looks more frustrated or vulgar, but the result is exactly the opposite.
Li Shuang looks completely handsome, and she can't tell she is a director who makes that kind of domestic horror movie.
"Teacher Chen, I have long admired Daqie, I'm lucky to be happy!" Li Shuang walked forward with a slightly flattering smile and bent over and stretched out her hands to shake hands with Chen Zhixian.
"Hello, Director Li! This is my manager Chen Shangjun. He will contact you in detail later." Chen Zhixian introduced to Li Shuang.
"Hello, Manager Chen, please take care of me!" Li Shuang shook hands with Chen Shangjun very enthusiastically.
The three of them entered the cafe, sat down and ordered their own cup of coffee.
"Director Li, I'm very curious about the current situation of domestic horror movies. Can you tell me?" Chen Zhixian did not immediately talk about the serious matter, but asked with a smile.
Li Shuang smiled and said, "Actually, the current situation of domestic horror movies is that they can make money, but they can't make a lot of money. Moreover, they are basically covered by theaters."
"Oh? What do you mean?" Chen Zhixian was indeed a little curious.
"Let me say that, most of the time the cost of the movies we make is controlled below one million, so that we can guarantee the capital and basically the cycle will not exceed one month, and most of the time can be done in two weeks."
"Actors, either find a few models with good figures, with low pay, interesting and relaxed.
Or better, find out the outdated actresses on the island of Hong Kong. The pay is low. Although it is outdated, it has an advantage. The audience is familiar with them. If you promote it, it will make people feel that it is a little more reliable.
Next to the next level is Wu Qiong's "Blood Isle". Find a more popular female star with a good figure. The plot is actually not that important. Anyone who has watched the plot of "Blood Isle" knows that the main thing is that there are not many female stars who are popular and willing to make such movies.
Therefore, although Wu Qiong's "Bloody Island 2" did not lose, it was much worse than the first one.
Then, the theater chain will arrange films. Anyway, it is in the midnight show, and then some posters of meat scenes to attract audiences. Although the box office is definitely not very high, most of them will not lose money. Because the midnight show itself has many idle theaters, and it is a waste to be empty, so the cost in this regard is diluted, so basically, such films are filmed and screened by the theater chain itself." Li Shuang did not hide it at all, and said Balabara.
Chen Zhixian and Chen Shangjun both felt that they were getting stronger. No wonder they often went to watch movies, not to mention other movies, but there are definitely domestic horror movies you want to watch.
This kind of movie is basically scolded for being released, but it has been prosperous. It turns out that people have been making money! Although it won’t explode, it’s very stable!
"Okay, I'll briefly talk about the plot. The story is very simple. The heroine goes to a remote beach in Huanhai City alone to find the place where her parents were in love back then. Stay away from the hustle and bustle, only sunshine, beaches, and waves. Everything is very wonderful. When the heroine was surfing happily, an accident happened. A big wave rushed over, and a huge shadow of a shark appeared in the water wall. After being attacked, the heroine was trapped on a reef. Although there was not too far between her and the coast, a great white shark blocked her way to survive..."
That's right, Chen Zhixian's story is a thriller movie "Shark Beach" in his previous life that was a small-cost but great success.
This is also why Chen Zhixian thinks that a domestic horror film director like Li Shuang who is good at shooting meat scenes should be appropriate.
To put it bluntly, the story of "Shaw Beach" is very simple, but to be well filmed, it depends on whether the director can create a sense of tension in such subjects and show the suspenseful and suffocating atmosphere in multiple levels. At the same time, the beauty of the picture must be filmed, not only the ocean, but also the heroine.
Li Shuang's eyes suddenly lit up, but then she frowned and said, "Teacher Chen, to be honest, this story is quite simple, but it is also very subtle. But the problem is that if a shark appears, special effects must be made. Although this special effects are not difficult, it will also increase the cost. This will be a big gap with the movies I made before."
"Cost is not a problem. This kind of special effect cost is not too high, right?" Chen Zhixian said pretentiously, and then asked immediately.
"It's two million, at least two million to do this special effect, otherwise it can be done, but it's too fake on the big screen." Li Shuang thought for a while and said.
"If you want to have a wonderful filming, the heroine will definitely save herself after being attacked by a shark. So should she arrange a profession related to medicine for her? It is best to be a medical student?" Li Shuang said again.
"Yes!" Chen Zhixian nodded.
"The heroine must have a good figure and a high appearance, and she must have a sporty figure, because if the whole film is done according to this plot, then she will be the biggest highlight of herself, but it is not easy to find such an actress. If the filming is high, then she has to find a well-known actor, otherwise she will be afraid that it will be difficult to make a profit." Li Shuangyou added.
"This is not a problem! So how do you plan to shoot? Tell me what you think?" Chen Zhixian actually has a story script written according to the plot of the movie in his previous life, including the details of some key nodes. However, the script is a script, which does not mean that the director can shoot the effect after writing the script.
