The Director of Music Department - Chapter 1416
What kind of movie is the easiest to sell?
This is probably a topic that countless filmmakers and investors are exploring.
Of course, Hollywood actually has already summed up a lot of experience.
“The Sixth Sense of Supernatural” looks like a supernatural sign, but in fact, it never tells a supernatural story.
It can be said that this is a warm suspense movie. The little boy Cole finally overcomes his fear and regains the simple happiness that should belong to the child. Malcolm finally understood his problem. The mutual understanding and trust between Malcolm and Cole in the film also brought us deep thinking. Can parents have enough trust and understanding of their children? Do you really understand their hearts? When the two sides have misunderstandings, have you ever thought about how to correctly resolve the contradiction? Regarding family, friendship, and love, how to trust each other.
This is a report in the “New York Times”.
Yes, in fact, the fundamental core of “The Sixth Sense of Supernatural” still lies in family affection, friendship, love, how to communicate if we trust each other and so on.
These problems can be seen everywhere in daily life.
For example, why Cole is reluctant to tell his mother that the root cause is actually lack of trust and lack of communication.
Adults and children are always separated.
Adults often don’t understand the world of children, and in the same way, children don’t understand the world of adults.
Many times, children like to be unconstrained, and what they say, we often always say childish words.
But they don’t know that this is the biggest problem.
“Then what do you think is the selling point of “Lesson of the Deserted Island”?” Chen Shaojun is actually still a little unconfident.
After all, this is Hollywood!
“First of all, I have to correct you. The biggest selling point of “Remains of a Deserted Island” has never been the movie, but James Liszt himself!” Wang Yifan said with a smile.
Chen Shaojun nodded, then rolled his eyes and said, “Just continue to fool me.”
“Well, in fact, you really don’t need to pay much attention to this. The specific story, details, and the like that “Leaves of a Deserted Island” mainly tells, you know better than me. This story is actually a modern version of Robinson Crusoe. The difference is that the starring role is James Liszt!”
“Why do you still think I am joking?” Wang Yifan looked at Chen Shaojun with a smile.
“First of all, the production of such a film with a single plot, a long filming cycle, or a “one-man show” actually violates the Hollywood convention of business-oriented.
In fact, the appeal of this film is not in the story itself, but in that this film is a collaboration between me, Wang Yifan and Hollywood’s popular film star, James Liszt.
Of course, other than that, what attracts people in the film is probably the “wild taste” that is very different from modern urban life and one’s tenacious persistence to survive. “Wang Yifan concluded.
In fact, even in the past life, the plot of this movie has never been said to be very commercial, because the one-man show has always been against the business itself.
“By the way, the movie is almost ready, right?” Wang Yifan asked as he spoke.
Chen Shaojun nodded and said: “Well, this movie is actually mainly because there are two stages in the filming. You need to wait for James Liszt to gain weight and lose weight. No special effects are involved.”
“There are only a few shots left in the film that need to be filmed, and the later stage has already begun.”
“After all, this movie should prepare to hit this year’s Oscars!” Chen Shaojun said with a smile.
The biggest problem in the shooting of “Remains of a Deserted Island” is actually the same as other one-man shows.
This kind of movie may be a bit difficult for some companies with poor strength to prepare, but the starring of this movie is James Liszt, and the script is still from Wang Yifan.
Therefore, there is no money or a bad team.
The shooting is actually very simple, of course, the most important thing is to see the protagonist of the one-man show, James Liszt himself.
If he plays well, the shooting will go smoothly. If he doesn’t play well, the shooting will be very difficult.
Wang Yifan didn’t care too much. In fact, even if he rushed for the prize, Wang Yifan would not participate too much.
Because this movie, to put it bluntly, is still a James Liszt movie.
In fact, Wang Yifan has heard James Liszt’s words for a long time. The public relations expenses of this film can be said to exceed that of any previous film by James Liszt.
It may even be as high as tens of millions of dollars. Of course, this money will certainly not be paid by James Liszt alone, but he must pay the largest share.
Because, the main goal of public relations in “Remains of a Deserted Island” is the best actor.
This is also the biggest reason why James Liszt made such a big sacrifice to act in this movie.
Do you really think that an idol star like James Liszt doesn’t need to look out?
After the release of “Sixth Sense of Supernatural”, the box office was almost a hit, and because there were no strong opponents in the same period, it went more smoothly.
Of course, on the whole, the film quality of “The Sixth Sense of Supernatural” itself can be regarded as excellent. In addition, this film has enough gimmicks and topicality, and it also involves family, communication, children, etc. Aspects of the problem, so once this topic becomes hot, there is no need to worry about the box office issue.
The fact is also true.
Even the Federation of Teachers and Parents has publicly recommended this movie.
Of course, they recommend parents to watch this movie.
In fact, there is a big difference between Laomei and China.
In China, to tell the truth, on the one hand, it is probably because of the good domestic security in China. On the other hand, it is also because of China’s large population and consistent concepts.
So, in fact, apart from anything else, in North America, the protection of minors, especially the protection of young children, can be said to be the strongest in the world.
In the United States, if you keep staring at a child, you will probably be arrested soon.
Is it weird?
But this is the fact.
There is one more thing that I have to mention, the Federation of Teachers and Parents.
This is a non-governmental organization, but this organization is probably an organization that no one in the United States would like to offend.
For example, the male protagonist in the movie “The Sixth Sense of Supernatural”, to be honest, if a domestic director came here to film, he would be annoyed to death.
Because, it’s not that it’s difficult for the child’s parents to do it, nor is it difficult for the child itself, but various related associations are difficult to do.
Here, the working hours, living conditions, environment, etc. of the two animal actors have to put various requirements, not to mention the underage children.
How long can I work at most every day, how much time must I have to study, and so on.
These are standard.
Therefore, in Hollywood, it is recognized that if there are child actors or animal actors in a movie, then such a crew is definitely not one of the most troublesome crews!
