Xiao Min has never had such a bad feeling today, and she wants her to act in a horror movie herself? She would rather be tossed by Liu Pian a few more times.

"No, no, no, I don't agree. Xiao Min shook his head and looked at Liu Pian pitifully, "I've been afraid of ghosts since I was a child, don't let me act in ghost movies." ”

"There are no ghosts in the plot, and there is no one in the whole process. Besides, it's just a movie, and it's not real. ”

"I'm still scared, I'm scared to stay in that atmosphere. ”

Liu Pianwan smiled, "Okay, if you don't act, you won't act, in fact, I'm just joking, if you really want to make this kind of movie, it's best to find a little-known young actor, a famous actor is not easy to operate." ”

"I hate jokes like that. Xiao Min glared at Liu Pian angrily and gently pinched his waist.

Liu Pian smiled and hugged Xiao Min tightly in her arms, "Hehe, I won't tease you in the future." ”

"Count you as acquaintances. Xiao Min muttered and asked, "Then you said you were looking for a young actor, what's going on?"

"Because of the peculiarities of this film. "It will be presented in the form of a pseudo-documentary." ”

"Pseudo-documentary?"

"You know, documentaries are filming real things, and pseudo-documentaries are just imitations of documentary filming, but they are essentially scripted, or they belong to the category of feature films. The purpose is to enhance the audience's sense of substitution and create a realistic atmosphere. If you look for a big actor, the audience will think it's too fake at first glance. ”

"Oh. Xiao Min nodded as if he didn't understand, "Can such a movie attract the audience?"

"Look at the operation. Liu Pian narrowed her eyes, "I checked the information, and some people have made pseudo-documentaries, but they haven't caused much repercussions." The camera shakes too much, which makes many viewers feel uncomfortable, and these pseudo-documentaries are either comedies or serious films, all of which satirize real society, and no one has tried horror films yet. Maybe someone has already tried it, but it hasn't been moved to the big screen of the theater yet. ”

"If no one has tried something, are you sure you'll succeed?"

"Then it's up to us to see how real we can make this pseudo-documentary. Liu Pian said with a smile, "We want to remove this 'pseudo' and make people believe that this is a real documentary, not a scripted feature film!"

"Huh?

"After watching the operation, I won't tell you for the time being, first ask Mu Lan's opinion, this movie can't be successful without her. Liu Pian said, "This movie is not selling word-of-mouth, nor story, but authenticity! We need the help of the film and television group behind Mu Lan." To put it mildly, this movie is 'cheating' the box office, and what we need to do is to make the audience believe it. ”

Scam?

Xiao Min suddenly thought of Liu Pian's nickname, and his face couldn't help but become strange.

Belch... This is really Liu Pian's style.

"Then I want you to say this, this movie doesn't sell word of mouth, how can it stand out at the film festival?"

"We were the first to bring a pseudo-documentary horror film to the screen. Liu Pian comforted, "The film festival is like an exhibition, and it is enough for us to catch the attention of most of the audience." ”

......

Word of mouth is the only thing that has a reputation.

Liu Pian knows that he is just a little-known person in the film industry now, and in the eyes of Chinese audiences, he may still have a bit of "screenwriter" talent, but in the United States, there is nothing at present.

It's a bit difficult to get out of the way all at once.

Liu Pian plans to start small. Pseudo-documentaries are a good practice, this kind of film does not require too much mastery of directing skills, although it is also a "story", but in the form of a documentary.

Live broadcast is also an alternative documentary.

The next day, Liu Pian found Zhou Mulan at the film academy and told her his thoughts.

"Making a pseudo-documentary horror film?" Zhou Mulan said with interest, "It sounds good." ”

"But don't expect too much of a reputation. Liu Pian said.

The awesome thing about "Blair the Witch" is that the movie is too realistic, the town does exist, and there is indeed a legend of a witch in the town, and the movie is shot in the form of a pseudo-documentary, which makes the fear even stronger.

It's really not very artistic, it sells horror that is so realistic that it is.

Nothing but fear.

A lot of horror movies are about scary people, but this movie doesn't have much to scary, it just goes out of its way to make you believe that all this is real, that witches are real, that the actors were really killed by witches, and then make up the fear in their own brains.

It's more of a psychological game.

So, in order to create a sense of realism, it must be reflected not only in the film, but also in real life!

Liu Pian told her what she thought.

"What? this is crazy, Liu Pian, you are a madman!" Zhou Mulan covered his mouth and exclaimed.

What did she hear? Liu Pian actually faked this filming trip as a real disappearance!

Three USC students decide to go to a small town in Maryland to shoot a documentary about witches for the college's film festival, only to disappear in the jungle and find only some tapes and audio tapes.

Then she and Liu Pian took the edited documentary to the competition!

There is also drama outside the play!

These producers and directors are also "actors"!

This is to fake a fake documentary into a real documentary!

"Crazy, you're really crazy!" Zhou Mulan's expression was exaggerated and he shook his head, "It's too difficult, not only to fake this disappearance case, but also to convince the audience that this is a real documentary, it's impossible to do it, there are too many loopholes." ”

"It's both true and false. Liu Pian shrugged, "We don't want people to believe 100% that doing so is a commercial fraud and will break the law." We just need to throw out the introduction, and people will automatically follow the introduction brain to make up for it, Mu Lan, we just help them create an atmosphere before watching the movie, not create a lie without loopholes. Even if there are so many loopholes in the lies, so what? We just amplify the fear in the hearts of the audience through the lies. ”

It's marketing!

Zhou Mulan was silent for a moment and said, "But this is not something that a few of us can do. ”

"We're in charge of making the film, that's what we do. "We are just the producers of the film, and if someone likes our film and wants to make a good box office, then he can take our advice and deceive people that this is a real documentary, not a fake documentary." ”

"Yes. Zhou Mulan thought for a moment and nodded. My gang is mainly shooting and making movies, and as for how to get a good box office, that's what the distributor should do.

Viral marketing, Hollywood distribution companies do it handy.

For the sake of the box office, they can do anything.

"How about it?" Liu Pian smiled, "Do you want to make this movie? If you don't want to, I can try to write other scripts." ”

"No, just this one!" Zhou Mulan said excitedly, "Pseudo-documentary horror film, we are also the first to put it on the big screen, right? I want to be the first person to eat crabs." ”

"Happy cooperation!" Liu Pian stretched out his hand.

"It was a pleasure to work with. Zhou Mulan held Liu Pian's hand, stuck out her tongue, and scolded with a smile, "I still want to say that you are really a madman!"
