1351. Different cognition
To be honest, Wang Yifan and Dai Xinyue were a little surprised.
Especially Wang Yifan, although he has always felt that although the probability of a suspense element movie is relatively lower, he has never thought that suspense movies are niche movies.
But if you think about it carefully, Wang Yifan suddenly realized that in fact, suspense movies have rarely made hits.
Even in the past life, in fact, suspense films with a box office of over 1 billion are only two movies: "Detective Chinatown" series and "Wu Shuang"!
In fact, in terms of genre division, there are not many films that purely emphasize suspense genres.
Most of them are suspense movies that tend to blend multiple elements.
For example, "Detective Chinatown" and "Wushuang", and later "Assassination of Novelists", such as "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", are actually not really pure suspense films.
More suspense films tend to integrate suspense elements with other types. For example, "Wushuang" incorporates a commercial type of criminal action into a suspense story, while the "Detective Chinatown" series adds a comedy type based on case-solving reasoning!
The real films that are purely emphasizing suspense, probably "The Invisible Guest", "The Hypnosis Master", "The Dedication of Suspect X", "Psychological Sin", etc.
In fact, the box office of these movies can only be considered small hits at most, but the box office ceiling is very limited.
"Not only that, in fact, there is another point, that is, pure suspense movies have very high requirements for scripts. After all, movie scripts with amazing plots like "The Devotion of Suspect X" are only a few, and they have a lot to do with online dramas. Because in terms of online dramas, suspense crime online dramas can be said to be the most popular average data among online dramas. After the audience has been baptized by a large number of high-quality online dramas, their requirements for such movies will naturally be higher."
"Because, in fact, most of the time, high-quality online suspense crime dramas adopt the unit drama model, that is, one episode at a time, or one episode at a time. This type of online drama can actually be said to be an alternative movie model. A large number of potential audiences of this type of movie are actually the same audiences of this type of online drama, and many of them are senior audiences, so their requirements for the script of the movie will become higher."
"While some suspense films in the past are released, the most common thing netizens complain about on the Internet is that they are not as good as certain online dramas!"
"As for suspense movies that incorporate other elements, I have considered it, but on the one hand, I am not good at it myself. On the other hand, in fact, suspense movies that integrate other elements are more risky to a certain extent. For example, movies with comedy elements in suspense movies have been tried by many directors in China, but the result is inconsistent. When it should be funny, it is not funny, and when it should not be funny, it is easy to destroy the atmosphere that has finally been created."
"In fact, the most successful ones are suspense elements, criminal action elements, but such movies face one problem, that is, on the one hand, the requirements for scripts are very high, and on the other hand, the cost will also increase greatly."
Mi Huayuan obviously has conducted in-depth research on this.
Wang Yifan did not make any judgment on Mi Huayuan's point of view.
To be honest, is what Mi Huayuan said right?
This is indeed the case, but there are exceptions in everything, and as long as there are exceptions, this kind of investigation is actually untenable.
Why do you say so?
In my previous life, many people watched science fiction movies in China that were not as good as science fiction movies in China, saying that science fiction movies in China were almost missing types.
This has been affirmed by countless people, but in fact?
Is this really the case?
Later, after science fiction movies such as "The Wandering Earth" appeared, wouldn't this statement be broken?
Who could have imagined that the "Detective Chinatown" series could have such a high box office?
So, to put it bluntly, it still depends on the story!
Because the market is changing all the time.
Mi Huayuan is right, for example, influenced by a large number of suspense-based fine online dramas, the audience will definitely have higher requirements when benchmarking against similar movies.
But in fact, it is still a matter of director and script.
"The Devotion of Suspect X" is considered a suspense film, and emphasizes suspense elements.
The same is true for the selling point.
But as a result, the movie received a high box office.
Therefore, Wang Yifan never takes this in a monotonous way.
Of course, why Mi Huayuan has never been to the big screen? Wang Yifan is actually just curious. He still believes in Mi Huayuan's strength.
So with a reliable director, coupled with Wang Yifan's reliable script, what reason can't make a reliable movie?
As for Mi Huayuan's personal reasons, Wang Yifan actually didn't care.
Dai Xinyue frowned slightly. To be honest, she was the one who most optimistic about Mi Huayuan.
Among the three directors, the real goal of the major director's plan is Mi Huayuan.
Because "The Devotion of Suspect X" proves that suspense movies have great potential.
To be honest, Dai Xinyue doesn't think Chen Shaojun is much better than Mi Huayuan. In her opinion, Chen Shaojun's advantage lies in the existence of a young man named Wang Yifan.
But after hearing Mi Huayuan's words, Dai Xinyue suddenly felt a little uneasy.
At this time, Wang Yifan smiled and said, "Actually, in my opinion, Director Mi should have said less, that is, the domestic environmental problems, right?"
Yes, in fact, suspense films, many people in the country will mention the issue of reviewing films.
Mi Huayuan nodded and said, "That's true, because such videos usually involve official law enforcement."
"The prevalence of suspense and reasoning culture in island countries is actually closely related to the local environment of the island countries, and also to the audience's cognitive relationship."
"In island countries, people actually don't have a good impression of the police! Therefore, we often see that in island countries, in many novels or films, the official law enforcement departments often have clowns or supporting roles. Most of the time, the works of law enforcement officers as the protagonists are almost all weirdos!"
"But this is obviously not possible in China, especially when a crime occurs, it is impossible to leave the law enforcement department. At the same time, in terms of character setting, China does not allow too much deviation in character design, especially the role of law enforcement officers such as ugly..."
Wang Yifan agreed with this.
On the one hand, it is not allowed by the official, but on the other hand, it is also because it does not conform to the facts!
For example, in the island country, because the image of law enforcement personnel is not good in the eyes of the public, no one will find it strange if there are strange law enforcement personnel.
In fact, in other words, the real detective is a weirdo in the eyes of the people of the island nation, which also proves from the indirectly that the people's general dissatisfaction with their law enforcement personnel.
And obviously not possible in China!
