In fact, it’s not that the media reporters are so confused, because this news doesn’t seem to be very reliable.

Why? This is probably related to the status of horror films in the film industry.

Although there are many horror movies in Hollywood, in fact, looking at Hollywood horror movies, many popular horror movies are actually not just horror movies, but they just have a little horror element.

For example, "The Sixth Sense", you say it is a horror movie, but in fact, it is a family ethics movie, but it only has supernatural elements.

The peak horror movie probably belongs to "The Silence of the Lambs", but there are only one such movie that is considered a real horror movie.

As for the famous "Jaws" can be said to be actually a product of the times and an exception. In fact, in an era when the modern film industry has matured, if "Jaws" appears in this era, it will definitely not reach its former height.

Therefore, in the perception of many people, horror films are still niche. Basically, second- and third-tier directors will shoot. First-tier directors don’t say they can’t shoot, but they are definitely rare. Top-tier directors basically don’t shoot tickets for such movies.

Wang Yifan is now a top director in Asia. He wants to make any films that people are willing to invest in, but he chose horror movies.

Especially for China, because China does not have a real horror film, most famous directors will not touch this category except for some new directors.

Because there is indeed a lack of soil in this area in China.

So, after the news was announced, the media reporters were blown up!

They doubted whether this was fake news or whether it was selling dog meat under the guise of sheep, such as Wang Yifan's name. In fact, the director's person is someone else.

Moreover, there is another very important thing. Wang Yifan has never filmed a horror movie since his debut. In other words, this is his first time taking this subject!

Many people were a little uneasy to listen to the content of the following press conference and couldn't wait to see the questioning session.

Finally, it’s the questioning session!

"That gentleman with glasses!"

"Mr. Ouyang, the island country joins the new star director program and invites director Wang Yifan to serve as the director of the first film of the third phase of the new star director program. Does it mean that the third phase of the new star director program will be mainly a new director of the island country?" A reporter asked Ouyang Mingdao of New Star Entertainment directly.

Ouyang Ming was naturally prepared for this.

"This is not the case. The third phase of the new star director program is mainly based on domestic new directors. Of course, the third phase of the new star director program will also be joined by the island Kwan Toei Club, but the number will not be greater than that of the domestic ones."

"In this new star guide project, the films shot will be horror and thriller themes. The target market is benchmarked against the island countries. Toei will be responsible for the investment and promotion of all the films!" Ouyang Ming explained.

"That gentleman, I searched for entertainment!"

Wang Dong, who was named, asked excitedly: "I am Wang Dong, a reporter from Yisou Entertainment. I would like to ask Director Wang, why did you agree to direct the first film of the third period of the New Star Director Program? As far as I know, there are few top directors like Director Wang who directs horror movies. Is this director just a name?"

Many people want to know Wang Dong’s question, so soon everyone calmed down and wanted to hear how Wang Yifan would answer it.

"This journalist friend, this seems to be more than just a question. First, I will answer your first question, because later, we will make a movie with Toei together, but I am not familiar with the market of the island country, the shooting methods, environment, process, etc. of the island country's movies, so this is to adapt to it with a small project in advance."

"The second question is, of course, not just a name, I will direct it myself! As for the top directors you mentioned, you rarely direct horror movies, I would like to thank you for your praise first. In the eyes of many people, including those here, I believe that when it comes to horror movies, I will subconsciously think that they are small-cost movies and niche movies, but in fact, is the upper limit of horror movies really that low? I don't think so, which is why I want to try it!"

"The gentleman from Huaxun Entertainment!"

"Hello Director Wang, I am Wang Xi, a reporter from Huaxun Entertainment. As far as I know, Director Wang has never made a horror movie before. So, Director Wang, do you have confidence in directing a horror movie? How much box office do you think you can get?" Wang Xi asked.

Wang Yifan smiled and said, "First of all, although I have not directed a horror movie, I have written many related scripts, such as "The Dark Side" and "127 Hours". In fact, these are thrillers, as well as "Jaws", etc., so I believe that I still have confidence in this regard. As for the box office, of course, I hope the higher the better, and it is best to make everyone admire the horror movies!"

"That journalist friend from Southern Weekend!"

"Hello Director Wang, I am Yao Xingyu, the reporter of "Southern Weekend". Director Wang, your first horror film, will the casting of actors be mainly domestic actors or island countries be mainly actors? Will your new film be released in China?" asked Yao Xingyu, a reporter of "Southern Weekend".

"All the films in the third phase of the New Star Director Program can actually be considered co-productions, so the actors naturally account for half of each side. The specific choices require the requirements of watching the video! As for whether it will be released in China, I can't guarantee this for the time being!"

......

After the massive joint press conference between Toei and Huaxin, the entertainment media was directly exploded.

In fact, it is not uncommon for domestic and foreign companies to cooperate, but this time the cooperation between Toei and Huaxin is very special.

First of all, the new star director program has been called the cradle of the cultivation of new blood in Chinese films! The two phases of the program have cultivated more than ten potential new directors, many of whom have officially become well-known directors.

And now, this plan actually allowed the island country to join!

In other words, this plan will also train new film directors for the island country, which has made many netizens complain.

"How can we train the director for the island country?"

"That's right, even if Toei gives money, he can't train talents for the island country, right?"

"Eat salty radish and worry about it. What is the third phase of the New Star Guide Plan? The goal is to benchmark the island market. Do you think the island people are so stupid? Spend money and effort to train new people, and also let you earn money from the island market. If you don't pay anything, why are they so cheap? "
