Chapter 660: Hot discussion

Actually, I don’t blame the media reporters for being so dumb, because the news doesn’t seem to be reliable.
why? This is probably related to the status of horror films in the film world.
Although there are many horror films in Hollywood, in fact, looking at Hollywood horror films, in fact many popular horror films are actually not pure horror films, but with a little horror element.
For example, "The Sixth Sense", you say it is a horror film, but in fact, it is a family ethics film, but with supernatural elements.
The pinnacle horror film probably belongs to "The Silent Lambs", but there is only one such film that can be regarded as a real horror film.
As for the famous "Jaws", it can be said that it is actually a product of the times and is a special case. In fact, in an era when the modern film industry has completed and mature, if "Jaws" appears in this era, it will certainly not reach the height it once was.
So horror movies, in many people’s perceptions, still belong to a niche group. They are basically made by second- and third-tier directors. First-line directors do not say that they can’t make them, but they are definitely rare. Basically not going to shoot such movie tickets.
And Wang Yifan is now in Asia, as if he is already a top director, he wants to make all kinds of movies, people are willing to invest, but he chose horror movies.
Especially for Huaguo, because Huaguo has no real horror movies, so except for some new directors in this category, most famous directors will not touch it.
Because the country does lack the soil in this area.
Therefore, after the announcement of this news, the media reporters directly exploded!
They are very suspicious of whether this is false news, whether it is selling dog meat, such as Wang Yifan, but in fact, the person who directed it was someone else.
Moreover, there is another point that is very important. Since his debut, Wang Yifan has never made a horror movie, that is to say, this is the first time he has taken this subject!
Many people were a little bit hesitant to listen to the content of the next press conference, and couldn't wait to wait for the Q&A session to arrive.
Finally, it's time to ask questions!
"The gentleman with glasses!"
"Mr. Ouyang, the island country joined the Rising Stars Project and invited director Wang Yifan to be the director of the first film of the Rising Stars Project Phase 3. Does it mean that the third phase of the Rising Stars Guidance Project will focus on directors of the island country newcomers? "A reporter directly asked Ouyang Mingdao of New Star Entertainment.
Ouyang Ming was naturally prepared for this.
"Not so. The third phase of the Rising Star Guidance Program is mainly based on domestic new directors. Of course, the third phase of the Rising Star Guidance Project will also include new directors recommended by the Island Toei Club, but the number is not No more than domestic ones."
"In this new star program, the films shot will be horror and horror themes, and the target market will be the target island country. Toei will be responsible for all the film investment and publicity!" Ouyang Ming explained.
"That gentleman, I search for entertainment!"
The named Wang Dong asked excitedly: "I am a reporter from Yisou Entertainment. I would like to ask Director Wang. May I ask Director Wang, why did you agree to direct the first film of the third phase of the New Star Project? As far as I know, there are very few top directors like Director Wang to direct horror movies. Is this directing just a name?"
Many people wanted to know Wang Dong's question, so soon everyone calmed down and wanted to hear how Wang Yifan would answer.
"This reporter friend, you seem to be more than a question. First of all, I will answer your first question, because after that, we Huaxin will co-produce a film with Toei, but for the island country’s market and the filming method of island countries’ films , Environment, process, etc., I’m not yet familiar with it, so this can be regarded as a small project in advance to adapt."
"The second question, of course, is not just to be named, I will direct it myself! As for the top directors you said rarely direct horror movies, I thank you for your praise first. In the eyes of many people, including all of you, I believe Speaking of horror movies, you will subconsciously think that it is a small-cost movie, a niche movie, but in fact, is the upper limit of horror movies so low? I don’t think so, that’s why I want to try!
"The gentleman from ECCOM!"
"Hello Director Wang, I’m Wang Xi from ECCOM Entertainment. As far as I know, Director Wang has never made a horror movie before. So, Director Wang, are you confident in directing a horror movie? Do you think you can get it? How much is the box office?" Wang Xi asked.
Wang Yifan smiled and said: "First of all, although I have not directed a horror film, I have written a lot of related scripts, such as "The Dark Side", such as "127 Hours". In fact, these are all thrillers, and " "Jaws" and so on, so I believe in this respect, I still have confidence. As for the box office, I certainly hope that the higher the better, it is best to let everyone admire the horror movie!"
"That reporter friend from Southern Weekend!"
"Hello Director Wang, I’m Yao Xingyu, a reporter from Southern Weekend. Director Wang is your first horror film. Will the casting of actors be dominated by domestic actors or island actors? Your new film will be released in China Is it?" asked Yao Xingyu, a reporter from Southern Weekend.
"All the films in the third phase of the New Star Project can actually be regarded as co-productions, so the actors are naturally divided into half. The specific choice depends on the requirements of the film! As for whether it will be released in China, I will not Can’t guarantee!"
...
After the huge joint press conference between Toei and Huaxin ended, the entertainment media directly exploded.
In fact, cooperation between domestic and foreign companies is not uncommon, but the cooperation between Toei and Huaxin is very special.
First of all, the New Star Guidance Project has already been called the cradle of the cultivation of the new blood of Chinese movies! More than ten potential new directors have been cultivated in the two phases of the plan, many of whom have officially become well-known directors.
And now, this plan actually allows island nations to join!
In other words, this plan will also train new film directors for the island country, which has made many netizens criticized.
"How did you cultivate a director for the island country?"
"That's right, even if Toei gives money, he can't cultivate talents for the island country, right?"
"Eat carrots and worry about it, what is the third phase of the New Star Guidance Project? The goal is to target the island country market. Do you think other islanders are so stupid? Spend money and work hard to cultivate new talents and at the same time allow you to earn other island country markets. If you don’t pay anything, why is Huaxin so cheap?"
"Anyway, what you cultivate is also talents for horror movies. In the domestic situation, it is estimated that you will not want to see it in a short time. In other words, in the third phase of the Rising Star Project, basically the film will be shown in the island country. Therefore, train Once they are trained, it’s no problem. Anyway, they won’t go to Huaguo to grab opportunities with Huaguo directors!"
