Chapter 1055: .Suspense Film

In fact, everyone in "Infernal Affairs" is watching.
Especially some directors who are ambitious and want to go to North America. The reason why they did not surrender to Ari in the first time is because of the so-called globalization strategy of Ari Media, who knows whether it will be compared with the previous big data. The movie strategy is the same, are all castles in the sky?
Therefore, they are all waiting and waiting.
Ari is indeed a big deal, not short of money, billions of dollars are spent.
The strength is indeed strong enough.
But the risk of movie stuff is really unpredictable.
The failure of the big data movie strategy is still vivid.
Simply, this time, "Infernal Affairs" will be the touchstone of Ari's globalization strategy.
First of all, the movie "Infernal Affairs" was written by Wang Yifan and directed by Cao Meng.
There is no doubt about the quality of this film. Domestically, no one thinks that this film will fail.
But the North American market is hard to say.
Everyone knows that although the North American market is the world's largest market, few Chinese movies can flourish in that place.
"King Kong" is just an example!
In many cases, it is possible to do without imitating and following the trend.
For example, the monster movie craze brought by "King Kong" turned out to be more miserable than the one who followed the trend.
No way, the threshold for movies like "King Kong" is too high.
Closer to home.
Back to "Infernal Affairs"!
Although "Infernal Affairs" is still some time away from its official release, Ahri has already started doing things.
Because "Infernal Affairs" will be officially released in North America this time, Ari must complete the offline investigation of this movie.
Despite the domestic obstacles set by Wang Yifan, "Infernal Affairs" could not be released simultaneously in North America and China.
However, it is still possible to do small-scale screening in the early stage.
Although Ari Media is a newcomer in the North American film market, the Imperial Cinemas line is an old-fashioned cinema line.
Therefore, as for the film release process, the publicity process is still very well-connected.
Generally speaking, the North American screening process is about small-scale screening in advance.
This point of view is actually very particular.
First of all, we must determine the main target group of the movie, such as age group, such as ethnic group.
Generally, when movies on the Chinese side are screened, the venues selected for screening are usually in areas inhabited by Chinese people.
Then, it extends to other target population areas.
Clicking is not only to judge the potential of the film, but also to build momentum for the film in advance.
As we all know, there is no difference between accusing and evaluating things, whether at home or abroad.
Just have money!
In his previous life, Wang Yifan was once innocent. Like some people, he felt that North American film critics were more professional than domestic film critics.
In fact, that's not a problem.
North America really has the profession of film critics. Compared with China, the group of film critics in North America has had a huge influence on movies for a long time.
The influential North American Film Critics Association, today, it may be difficult for film critics to influence the box office of movies, but their influence on some awards is really great.
This can be said to be very different from the domestic one.
But actually?
Up to now, especially Wang Yifan himself has many movies released in North America, so he is no longer the same Wang Yifan back then.
I don’t think I’m naive to think that film critics in North America are really professional.
Yes, in terms of the level of reviews, North American film critics do seem to be higher in terms of professional level analysis and so on.
But in fact, these film critics also accept public relations.
No way, film critics are also going to have a good meal.
It's just that, in contrast to the almost open red envelopes in China, some of the more famous film critics in North America usually accept public relations as an unspoken rule.
But on the bright side, they are relatively independent.
......
When the publicity of "Infernal Affairs" was in full swing outside.
Chen Shaojun, who had been salting fish for a long time, ran over.
"What? Enough salted fish?" Wang Yifan couldn't help but a little amused.
Since "King Kong", although Chen Shaojun has not been as salty as Wang Yifan said, in fact, it is almost the same.
"Why am I salting fish? I am very busy, am I?" Chen Shaojun leaned on the sofa and rolled his eyes.
"Oh? Tell me, what are you busy?" Wang Yifan asked curiously.
"Um...well, I'm really just salted fish. I can't help it. I'm easy to be satisfied. "King Kong" is too exaggerated, so you know." Chen Shaojun blinked his eyes.
"What about now? Are you ready for work?" Wang Yifan asked.
Chen Shaojun nodded and said, "Well, isn't this enough salted fish?"
"Do you have any thoughts this time?" Wang Yifan has never lost a script directly, and then said, you go shoot it.
He usually let them choose by themselves.
Chen Shaojun touched his head and said, "To be honest, a big production like "King Kong" is too tired. I really don't want to shoot, at least for the time being I definitely don't want to be so tired."
Wang Yifan didn't say anything about Chen Shaojun's thoughts.
Everyone has everybody’s idea.
Although many directors are looking forward to one day in charge of major productions.
But in the same way, there are some people, such as Chen Shaojun.
And there is a big production gameplay for big productions, and a small cost gameplay for small costs. There is really no difference between the superior and the inferior.
There are also a lot of small-cost high-box offices.
Chen Shaojun smiled and said: "I just want to shoot something simple, such as a low-cost, but more interesting movie."
Wang Yifan laughed and scolded: "You are a great director, can you be a little bit more pursued?"
However, Chen Shaojun said indifferently: "I want to tell everyone that big production may be the mainstream, but small costs are always indispensable, how about it? Does this count as a pursuit?"
As a result, Wang Yifan looked at Chen Shaojun with such a smile.
"Well, in fact, I just want to be lazy, okay?" Chen Shaojun stalled, I was in a showdown, I just wanted to take some simple things.
"Well, how about the suspense film?" Wang Yifan asked with a sudden smile.
"Suspense movie? I really haven't tried this, but if you have a suitable script, it's ok. It seems that the suspense movie type has not been tepid in China, but you can try it." Chen Shaojun thought for a while and said. .
Give it a try and make a suspense film. Although the cost is small, in fact, this kind of film is really not everyone can shoot.
And the most important thing about this kind of movie is the rendering of the atmosphere.
To be honest, there are not many good films that can be made in China.
In fact, the directors on Hong Kong Island still have a lot of subjects in this aspect, but the ceiling of the box office is very low.
