Chapter 766: The biggest difference between "King Kong" and other monster movies

"King Kong" is a super big production, after all, the production cost is more than $100 million.
But there are not too many investors in this movie.
Nor can it be said that it is not too much, but that this movie, the real main investment, only Xingmeng and Huaxin.
Other giants, such as Times Light and Shadow, such as the Shengtang Kyushu side, such as Huanyu, they also invested part, but in fact, they did not pay for real money, but resource replacement.
What is resource replacement?
That is, when they are released, they will support the film arrangement in exchange for a part of the investment share.
This is actually the norm. Of course, this is also because the director of this "King Kong" is Chen Shaojun. Even if the script of the movie is written by Wang Yifan, the investment is too big after all, and Chen Shaojun was just plain A small-cost film director, for this reason, it is difficult for people to have confidence in him.
For this reason, this time, even though it was a trial meeting, most people had high expectations different from Wang Yifan's new movie. For the movie "King Kong", many people were not too optimistic.
"The production cost of this movie is more than 100 million U.S. dollars. With the announcement, it can exceed 1 billion Chinese currency, right?" said a representative of a theater operator and another colleague.
"Who can say no? The big hand is the big hand, it is director Chen Shaojun. It seems that he has never made such a big movie before. However, I heard that this person is Wang Yifan's best friend, so it is no wonder that he can get such a big movie. Now," another representative of the theater operator said.
"Hey, don’t care if the family is related, but at any rate the movie came out. It’s the mule who came out and strolled around. Those of us are just watching the excitement. We really think we can decide. Is it?" Another cinema dealer representative disagrees.
At the same time, Lin Husheng and Chen Hanming were also chatting.
"Yi Fan really trusts Director Chen." Lin Husheng said with a smile.
Chen Hanming shook his head and said, "You are a kid, a buddy, and maybe your brother-in-law. If you don't trust him, who else can Director Wang trust?"
When "King Kong" was first approved, Lin Husheng was actually a little hesitant, but in the end he chose to believe in Wang Yifan.
In fact, there is no other reason, because the benefits created by Wang Yifan, even if "King Kong" hit the street, does not matter to Lin Husheng.
However, the outside world is actually not so optimistic about "King Kong". After all, although Chen Shaojun has the qualifications, this kind of super large production, usually, the director is almost the kind of director who has proven himself.
Although Chen Shaojun's previous movies are not bad, they are all low-cost movies and are not referenceable.
The big screen dimmed, and "King Kong" was already finished. Therefore, the version is the version that will be released. The first to appear in the screen is the logo of Huaxin Pictures, Star Dream Entertainment, and other film investment and distribution companies.
Then the director: Chen Shaojun!
Screenwriter: Wang Yifan!
Seeing Wang Yifan's name appearing on the big screen, although it was not a director but a screenwriter, the representatives of the theater operators on the scene couldn't help but straighten up.
No way, Wang Yifan's reputation is too good.
Basically, so far, as long as Wang Yifan is named, whether it is a director or a screenwriter.
Even the small-cost films of the previous Rising Stars Project had almost no losses, at least it was a small profit.
Therefore, Wang Yifan's name for the golden holy hand even surpassed his director's name to some extent.
Because I am a director, I can make blockbuster films and get billions in box office, which is really awesome, but after all, I'm just one person, and I can do a movie a year.
But the screenwriter is different. The works written by him, although the box office of other movies are not so high, they can't stand the high yield!
Although many people know that Wang Yifan’s many movies are actually composed of a synopsis and then filled in by other screenwriters, but this in itself is also very scary.
The scary thing is not how wonderful these stories are, but that Wang Yifan seems to know what the audience likes to watch.
The film began to appear formally, and the story began.
The corner of Wang Yifan’s mouth evokes a slight arc. Although the film is a different world, different background, different director, and different actors, it still gives Wang Yifan a feeling of deja vu. This feeling is very subtle. This is why Wang Yifan usually enjoys watching these movies.
What others watch is whether the movie is wonderful or not, but Wang Yifan will involuntarily compare with the movies of the past life in his impression.
There is not much difference between the previous story and the script written by Wang Yifan. In order to finish the shooting of his latest movie, a desperate director told a big lie. According to the location marked on the map, he brought the crew and fleet into it. A mysterious sea with hidden reefs everywhere...
Go find a place called Skull Island!
For a movie to be watched by the audience, it is first of all the story, at least not too much of mystery, but there must be something to hook the audience.
The previous story of "King Kong" explains the background, but it not only explains the background, but also planted the hook.
The Skull Island they were looking for was the hook!
The previous dialogue explained Skull Island, but from the dialogue, we can know that Skull Island is a very scary place.
For this reason, the audience at the scene couldn't help but be curious about what the place called Skull Island looked like, because the movie seems to have been rendering the horror of this place.
The film did not disappoint the audience's doubts and curiosity for too long, and soon satisfied the audience's curiosity.
The heroine in the film was arrested because she provokes the natives on the island. After the heroine was captured, the natives actually dedicated the thin-skinned and tender heroine to a terrifying existence in the mountains. And when the huge figure was present in the dark, many viewers subconsciously exclaimed...
Monster movies have a very special commonality, that is, the arrangement of the appearance of monsters in the movie usually sets up numerous obstacles.
It will be for a long time.
But "King Kong" is not like that. King Kong, the huge black gorilla, the absolute protagonist of the film, quickly appeared.
The effect is quite good.
After all, in terms of special effects, the money has been squandered a lot. The effect is not the best, but it is also comparable to Hollywood monster movies.
"King Kong" is actually a little different from other monster movies in terms of special effects.
The key point of this difference is that many monster movies actually focus more on the size of the monster, its destructive power, and the details of the monster, and it is more about showing its body.
But "King Kong" is different. In fact, Wang Yifan is basically satisfied with the "King Kong" filmed by Chen Shaojun so far, but the real essence of this movie is not yet in place.
