Chapter 1056: . Devotion of Suspect X

There is no shortage of suspenseful movies in the market.
But this kind of movie, to be honest, the cost is not high, but it is really not easy to shoot well!
Even in previous lives, in fact, most of the suspense movies have very low ceilings.
Of course, this refers to domestic.
In fact, the suspense type of film and television works are not niche at all. It can be said that this is actually a relatively popular subject.
There are also many classic suspense films, but among the domestic films, suspense films are really not high.
The world is even more exaggerated. There are many suspenseful web dramas, and most of them have good results.
But on the other hand, in terms of movies, almost one is counted as one, and almost all of them are complained.
This was discovered by Wang Yifan when he was making a movie with Zhang Zirong.
In this category of movies, Hollywood actually has excellent movies every year, but on the other hand, there are very few in China.
I have to say it is a very strange thing.
It's not that there are no domestic movies of this type, but domestic suspense movies, most of which are difficult to satisfy.
Chen Shaojun intended to make a lighter, simpler movie, so Wang Yifan thought of a suspense movie.
In fact, most foreign suspense movies are not suitable for China.
Because, in many cases, it is very difficult to pass the trial.
For example, "The Silent Lamb" is put in the domestic environment, don't think about it.
To be honest, the movie "The Silent Lambs" has some crooked buttocks that deify the murderer.
Simply put, the three views are not right!
After all, the real murderer managed to escape in the end, leaving a far-reaching, creepy ending.
Another example is "The Seven Deadly Sins". This movie is also hailed as a classic, but the plot of the same movie may be surprising and fresh enough, and the ending is even more unexpected.
But in the same way, this movie is actually very difficult to make in China.
why?
Because the "Seven Deadly Sins" also has some wrong views.
So, maybe this is one of the reasons why domestic films are rarely called classic suspense films.
In fact, the classics are only relatively speaking.
A classic work, perhaps visually and in terms of appreciation, can be called a classic enough.
But at the same time, classic works do not necessarily mean that what the film itself conveys is positive.
On the contrary, many works that are hailed as classics, on the contrary, the ideas conveyed by the film itself are very negative and very negative!
At this point, Wang Yifan actually feels that foreign countries are indeed too "free"!
For example, serial killers, the killers of "The Seven Deadly Sins" and "The Silent Lamb" are all serial killers.
But the result?
In order to highlight the director's private goods, or to make the film more profound, the result is a myth of a serial killer.
In North America, there are even many people who worship this serial killer.
From the perspective of a normal person, shouldn't this be forbidden?
Some people who talk about social responsibility every day, in fact, are they not double-standard dogs in this regard?
Some people often belittle the domestic film review system and admire the Hollywood rating system. They feel that the domestic film cannot be filmed and the film cannot be filmed, which is a ideological confinement to the creators.
But I never thought about the impact of movies on society.
There are indeed some things that are not worth going online.
But in the same way, some things can indeed bring extremely bad effects.
Everyone knows that people who are in regular contact with the dark side will be affected more or less psychologically.
And if these kinds of movies appear in endlessly, will they have a big negative impact?
The answer is yes!
One size fits all is definitely a problem, but in the same way, in fact, those who criticize the film review system and advocating the North American film rating system every day have not thought that, in fact, they are also one size fits all?
Closer to home.
Wang Yifan thought for a while and finally decided to choose the story of "Suspect X's Devotion".
The main reason is that although this story is a novel from the island country, the story is adapted into a story with a Chinese background and is easier to be accepted by the audience.
And this story, to be filmed, is relatively simple.
"The mathematics genius Stone God once in a hundred years, the only fun every day is to go to a fixed bento store to buy lunch, just to see Lin Jing, a neighbor who works in the bento store.
Lin Jing and her daughter depended on each other for their lives, and missed to kill the ex-husband who came to entangle. ......"
Wang Yifan told the general story of "Suspect X's Devotion"!
Chen Shaojun was immediately attracted.
The story of "Suspect X's Dedication" can be said to be both simple and complex.
The simplicity lies in telling people from the very beginning who the real murderer is, and the complexity lies in what means Shi Shen used to achieve his goal.
Some people may say that this novel is just a basic mystery novel, but sometimes, the simpler the thing, the more impressive it is.
Perhaps "Devotion of Suspect X" seems to be less suspenseful than those complicated serial murders, but logically speaking, it is more self-consistent.
In fact, in mystery novels and mystery movies, what I fear most is not that the plot is not exciting enough, but that I can't justify it.
Generally speaking, the simpler the story, the fewer loopholes. On the contrary, the more complex the story, the more clues involved, the more logical BUG will be generated.
In fact, this is also a common problem in domestic suspense movies.
Many films of this type are often complained about, most of the time, because of obvious logical loopholes.
Because the movie is never a TV series, it can’t be explained one by one in a very long space, broken apart and crushed to be told to the audience.
The movie only lasts about two hours, and every shot is not superfluous.
It can be said that movies are concentrated essence.
This is why, many stories, the original logic is obviously very rigorous, but after the adaptation, it is very sparse.
It really cannot be said to be due to lack of screenwriting ability, because many details cannot be shown one by one in the movie.
"Tsk tusk, this story is interesting, I want it!" Chen Shaojun said, touching his chin.
"Well, I'll give you the outline of the story. You can find the scriptwriter team to fill it in. In fact, the story itself is very simple, but it depends on your skill to achieve the effect!" Wang Yifan said with a smile.
Novels and movies are equally different.
It's really hard to say whether the novel can convey things through some specific words, and whether the film can produce that kind of effect.
For example, in martial arts novels, how do you show the moves described in the screen?
In the same way, the story is there, but how to produce the effect is the director's job.
