"White Night Chasing the Murder" is in accordance with Wang Yifan's requirements and because of sufficient funds, Mi Huayuan is filming completely in the style of American dramas.
In fact, to put it bluntly, the biggest difference between British and American dramas and domestic dramas is that domestic dramas usually pay more attention to actors, while British and American dramas pay more attention to plots.
You will find that many British and American dramas are actually amateur actors, especially those founding dramas. Most of the time, the actors in the dramas will not invite any famous actors.
This is also the same as the fact that British and American dramas usually need to prepare for subsequent sequels in advance.
On the contrary, more funds can be used in the aspects of service, Daoyi, etc., so it gives people the feeling that the costumes and props of British and American dramas are very high-end, atmospheric and high-end. In contrast, domestic dramas, many times, although the investment is very high, the costumes and props are extremely embarrassing.
Mi Huayuan was naturally happy, after all, this is what he is good at.
Mi Huayuan doesn’t have much preference for domestic actors, but well-produced dramas are what he is good at.
In fact, when a director is versatile, he must know everything. In fact, the threshold is very high. However, because some people who don’t know anything also become directors, it makes people think that the threshold for directors is very low. In fact, it is not that the threshold for directors is low, but because such a famous director usually has an experienced executive director. Some people even confuse directors with photographers. In fact, it is completely different.
Although the director is also sitting behind the monitor, the photographer is responsible for photography. The director is actually responsible for coordination and the commander of an army.
The director will tell the photographer what effect I need for this lens, long-range, close-up, etc., and will ask the lighting engineer for warm tones, cool tones, etc.
The same will require the actors to have what effect this scene needs...
Mi Huayuan is very efficient, and he especially likes this domestic model. In his opinion, the power of the domestic crew and directors is really too great.
And in terms of overtime, Mi Huayuan found that many times, as long as he doesn't call for getting off work, no one will think that it's time to get off work.
This feeling is really great!
The filming of "White Night Chasing the Murder" is proceeding in an orderly manner.
But Wang Yifan was a little embarrassed.
Half a year is not long or short, but for a movie, it is really too short to complete the preparation to release in half a year.
Today is different from the past. It is no longer the golden age of Hong Kong movies. It is really difficult for a film to be made in this era.
In fact, filming is second-hand. The key is to choose what kind of movie to shoot?
Movies that require special effects will be first PASSed.
Because the post-production special effects are the most time-consuming, but they both require box office and speed, even Wang Yifan is a little embarrassed.
So there are actually not many options left.
Drama or comedy?
There are only two options.
First of all, comedy films are actually a type of drama film. The specialty of comedy films is that they are best at making big fame with small numbers. Lin Tao, the king of domestic comedy films, is one of the best.
However, comedy movies are not that easy to shoot. First of all, with the different times, comedy movies and jokes must keep pace with the times. There are two difficulties in comedy movies. One is the script, especially the lines, and the other is the comedian.
The comedy king of Stephen Chow in his previous life is the best and deserves it.
But after Stephen Chow, no one was born similar to him.
Such as Bald Xu, Chen Beng and others, although they are also famous for comedy, their styles are too similar and similar. Although they are considered good achievements, they are difficult to achieve classics again.
There are many types of feature films. If you want a good reputation, it will naturally be difficult to take into account the box office. It is not that the box office is not good, but that you want a high box office. A simple feature film, unless it is really classic, is still very limited.
What Wang Yifan has a headache is that the time is too short.
He has made many movies now, and he is considered experienced. He is not a director who pursues the peak of art, so he naturally doesn't like those art films that know the truth but not the reason.
He always believes that movies are made for the public. If the reputation is only good on a small scale and the public can't understand them, it's better not to shoot them.
As the saying goes, collecting money to do things for others. Since he is a shareholder of Huaxin, Huaxin's listing is also related to his interests. Obviously, because Yang Long's speed cannot be expected, Lin Husheng placed his hope on Wang Yifan.
Everything is timely, but the starting point is also critical.
Listing is for financing, so I naturally hope that the more good news there is, the better. After all, this will increase the stock price and naturally obtain more financing. After all, the market value is high.
Moreover, this kind of favorability may not be useful for ordinary movies. It is best to get a box office of one billion and two billion, so the stock price will not be worrying at all.
However, it is easy to say but difficult to do. The most difficult thing is the time.
In fact, there will be a period of silent period for a company to go public, but that refers to normal listing, while backdoor listing is different. Instead, there are not so many concerns. Naturally, the more good news, the better.
So, the problem in front of Wang Yifan is what kind of movie to make?
Even once you choose, you must start promoting it until the movie is released.
In half a year, for some large productions, the publicity period is really not long.
First of all, Wang Yifan thought a lot of romance films, but he didn't think of many of the romance films made in his previous life. However, he was an expert in Bangziguo, and there were several very good romance films.
Youth film? Wang Yifan shook his head again. Although the lower limit of youth film is quite high, the upper limit is not enough.
However, youth films are also a powerful tool for making big fame. You can let the new stars shoot a few movies to try. After all, in different worlds, many times, different times and different environments, the same film may not be pleasing.
However, youth films have never invested much, and even if they are not pleasing, it is not harmful.
Although Wang Yifan is known as the director of the music department, it is really difficult for music department movies to meet Wang Yifan's requirements now, so he prefers to give them to others to shoot.
Since that's the case, there are not many choices left.
Action movies are unrealistic. Although the shooting cycle does not need to be too long, the preparation time is not enough for half a year.
Suspense crime films have the same upper limit, which is not enough for the public after all.
Wang Yifan thought of a suitable movie, but the movie in his previous life was adapted from what happened in reality. Although many people actually would not pay much attention to whether it was adapted from real events, if there was, it would be better, after all, there could be an extra publicity stunt.
