Chapter 420 Selling Points and Artistic Expression of Films
The movie will be followed, but it will indeed be a movie that requires both parties to work together - after all, this is just Frank's heart. In fact, there is still a bad reaction to Asians in the face of such a bad situation.
For example, the male protagonist has been living here for a while, and it should have more or less influence.
For example, unlike the Americans who believe in religion generally, there are many people in Asia who do not believe in religion, so how do they react when facing women in supermarkets saying that they are "the chosen ones of God".
For example, the influence of children under two cultures.
Of course there is a final ending...
The ending of Stephen King in the original work is too dull: the hero takes his child into a hotel, turns on the radio, and reports the situation being controlled intermittently on the radio; while the ending of the original movie is memorable, it has a great impact on the audience's impression and box office, and is not very good.
Must be neutralized.
This discussion lasted for nearly three weeks, and it was soon May. The plan for "Misty" is to start filming in mid-May and end in late July, so at this time everyone has already completed the details that need to be finalized, but there is one place Lin Hao really didn't expect to get stuck here:
That is, Frank believes that the selling point of "Mist" is actually not a monster.
There are really few scenes of monsters in the fog that really appear. If you are looking at what is coming from the fog, you may be a little disappointed:
Monsters are just decorations of a story, and the ultimate core is in human nature and the environment for human survival.
Most of the stories are filmed:
What changes will happen to people in such extreme environments?
This is the main theme of this film. In other words, it is not simply satisfied with the matter of human survival in the end.
But...
What everyone wants to see is that it is probably not a human struggle, and this kind of demand is too high.
According to later feedback, many people still hope to see the truth of the matter - that is, whether it is the aliens or monsters who trapped them in the supermarket, or what were they? Otherwise, a few scenes like the original film flashed over and felt lonely.
...
On May 7, at 3 pm, the third fierce debate today was held in the discussion room.
Lin Hao was quite peaceful in April, because there was no heated discussion, so he would stay there; and in May, his wife returned to China to continue acting in dramas, and all the conflicts were piled up, and they would definitely collide.
"You know the core of what Frank wants to express is not to let the audience pay attention to this. What he wants the audience to see is humanity..."
"But you have also watched the investigation. Many viewers' biggest expectation for this drama is not human nature."
Lin Hao still insisted on his own opinion: "In fact, I think it's okay for us to satisfy the audience's fantasy. After all, some of the most concerned points of viewers are to finally uncover the answer to the monster."
"So I think this last part can add some monster shots, not too much, but it's not as short as it is now."
"I know."
Anna rubbed her forehead. She was wearing casual clothes and rarely changed her clothes for two days. She typing on the keyboard with her hands weakly recorded Lin Hao's opinion: "But... OK, but the funding for the movie does not allow it. We only have an investment of 18 million yuan. Lin. If we really want to do more of these shots, we may need about 2 million yuan."
As the head of the Emperor Sect, she really feels that it is not easy for her:
The actor I had always dreamed of was invited, but this actor had many requirements. He finally ended the negotiation, but this guy made such a suggestion and talked for a long time.
"So, have you ever considered increasing your investment?"
Anna rolled her eyes directly: "The Emperor's Party has considered it, but this requires the consent of other companies, and 18 million is already considered a very high investment in this type, and not many people will be willing..."
"My company is willing to invest $2 million in Changlin Pictures."
Lin Hao blocked her with one sentence and said, "If possible, you can communicate with them."
...
"Misty" has a good foundation and a good film, but the director has too many artistic expressions, which gives the audience less pleasure. After all, he is a director who makes art films, so between this, Lin Hao, as a big box office player, must add some top-notch points.
So according to the feedback after the movie is released:
First, there must be some choices in the plot, and of course he has reached a consensus with the director on this.
Second, there must be special effects. You have been mysterious for a long time before and finally don’t show the true faces of “Aliens” or “monsters”, which really makes the audience feel: “That’s it?”
So Anna is not a difficult person, let alone Lin Hao is not like those who ask for this and that, he also pays his own money.
OK!
Other investors only think that Lin Hao feels that he doesn't get enough share and wants to increase his investment and get more money. That's good, after all, after the actors invest in their own capital, they will definitely act more seriously.
So the leading Emperor Sect had no objection, and the rest were just like that.
After a few days of discussion, a contract was handed over to Changlin Pictures, which was also the first foreign film invested by the company, although it was mostly because of Lin Hao.
But it doesn't matter, accumulate experience.
After all, if you say that this film company is just shooting your own movies and not doing anything else, it will be too single.
After the company's manpower expansion has now, it also has the spare energy to operate.
At that time, "Crazy Racing" will still be the main direction, and the rest of the cars can also run.
...
This is how the film preparation is. When the project is settled, it is very busy, and the middle is smooth. As the filming starts, it starts to accelerate. Then everything comes a month before the filming starts. Until the first week of the filming, the crew will return to calmness.
The same is true for "Misty", the closer you get, the busier you get.
Of course, relatively speaking, Lin Hao, the starring actor, will be much better. He is mainly responsible for the early publicity part.
In fact, as soon as the news of Lin Hao's confirmed starring in this movie has caused an earthquake in the entire genre film market. After all, we really don't say it's exaggerated. We may not be anything in Hollywood, but in the horror movie, this is acre of three-point land?
Boss Lin’s appeal in this field is definitely not inferior to Hollywood’s top-tier top players.
Of course, it’s not the best-tier films that are good at making investment movies like this.
But Boss Lin always made the drama "rigorous logic", "superbright acting" and "the story is quite intriguing"... In addition to the ending of "Buried Live", this movie has been pulled out by movie fans for many years.
But in this field, Lin Hao’s production must be a fine product.
So the premise of this movie Frank Derabont Stephen Kim Linho, the perfect director, screenwriter, and actor is to start the golden start.
So many people started to blow on without knowing the quality.
Of course, more people bought the original work, and after buying it, they had a meal and analyzed it. Based on what Lin Hao said in an interview, they would adapt this sentence, which was a long time of speculation.
But this matter will eventually fall back to the movie itself.
In a blink of an eye, time came to May 16, and the crew of "Mist" settled in Louisiana.
Chapter completed!
