The plot of the movie "Ghost Shadow" is not complicated, it is just the daily life of a couple. There are only a few characters in the pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info, the protagonist couple, two supernatural experts who can only talk about cannons, and a heroine's best friend who went to the wrong set.

And except for the protagonist couple, everyone else is here to make soy sauce.

If it is a normal horror movie, this movie can be described as garbage in terms of plot, characters, lighting, and camera.

However, it is precisely because it looks particularly garbage that this movie has earned more than 100 million dollars at a cost of more than 10,000 US dollars.

Because the film adopts a pseudo-documentary shooting technique, it looks very messy, but it is important to have a sense of reality. To put it bluntly, it just looks like the real thing.

Ordinary adults don't think that there are ghosts in this world, and even if you shoot a horror movie, everyone knows that it is fake.

But this kind of pseudo-documentary method makes you look like it's all true.

Therefore, the biggest selling point of the horror film "Ghost Shadow" is in authenticity. It's just that this movie was originally a foreign movie, which is very different from the actual situation in China.

Not to mention anything else, the house where the supernatural event occurred alone is not something that ordinary people can afford in China at all. Therefore, Zhai Nan must make changes to part of the content of the film, first of all, the address where it was filmed.

In his previous life, "Ghost Shadow" was in a villa, and in order to let domestic audiences find this kind of real experience, Zhai Nan couldn't use the villa, it must be an ordinary community residence.

But the residential areas in the community can't be too bad, otherwise some plots won't develop at all. In the end, Zhai Nan took the shooting address and selected a duplex structure of the dwelling.

First of all, the price of this house is affordable for ordinary people, or some people, which is more in line with the understanding of family housing for Chinese people.

Secondly, the house is not too small to be obvious at first glance. From the level there is a spatial dislocation to enhance the horror atmosphere and feeling.

The last point is that renting this house is cheaper than renting a villa.

And Zhai Nan's "Ghost Shadow Record" in his previous life only cost more than 10,000 US dollars. Zhai Nan thought that he would be able to shoot for 100,000 yuan at most. However, he still ignored one point, that is, the rent in the capital was too expensive, and the budget had to be adjusted to 200,000 yuan in the end.

However, even the cost budget of 200,000 yuan is already an incredibly low cost in the industry. Compared with the cinema blockbusters that cost tens of millions at every turn, Zhai Nan's "Ghost Shadow Record" feels like a joke.

And Zhai Nan's movie requires very few resources. It's just that one person was taken away from each group of Tian Yuan. The entire crew, from the director to the actors, is only a dozen people together.

Such a low-cost, small-consumption movie, even within Tianyuan, is incredible.

And the news of the start of filming of Zhai Nan's new work also spread quickly, and immediately set off a wave on the Internet.

Well-known film critic: "I heard that Mr. Zhai is going to make a movie! The production cost is only 200,000 yuan, which is not enough for a film crew's lunch money, what can such a crew make?"

Well-known director: "With an investment of 200,000 yuan, a crew of more than a dozen people, even the worst group in the film and television base, there are more people than them." Mr. Zhai is indeed very talented, but the big screen is not a suitable place for him after all. ”

The director, who is promoting a new movie for the Chinese New Year, said bluntly in a post-publicity interview: "A movie like Zhai Nan is not qualified to be on the big screen at all, I think this is an insult to the film industry!"

A certain actor: "I really admire Mr. Zhai's talent." However, I think the current teacher Zhai is a little blind and arrogant. Wanwan's success has indeed created a miracle of small cost, but it does not mean that every time a small cost of production will bring miracles. ”

A well-known female artist: "Teacher Zhai does have amazing talent in the Internet, but the big screen is not the Internet after all, and there is still a big difference." I only hope that Mr. Zhai can recover the cost, but the cost of 200,000 yuan...... Hehe, it should be easy. ”

A well-known horror film director: "Horror films are not mainstream in China after all, but it doesn't mean that horror films are easy to make." Especially during the Spring Festival, there are almost no directors of horror films who dare to do publicity at this time, because they have to avoid comedies in the Chinese New Year file. Zhai Nan dared to do publicity at this time, I think his only reliance is low cost, and it is too easy to recover the production cost. However, I also want to make a call here, now that shoddy production is causing a trend in the film industry, if you are a really powerful director, it is best not to blindly follow this unhealthy trend. ”

Cao Mao, the leading horror master in China, as the only famous director who has brought local horror films into Japanese theaters, is a well-deserved authority in the field of domestic horror films.

And the horror master Cao Mao's evaluation of Zhai Nan's low-budget movie is also extremely simple.

"200,000 yuan, this is not enough for me to build a shed, can I still watch this movie? What are you kidding!"

The comments on Zhai Nan's movie have almost become a one-sided situation, and even many netizens who have been obsessed with Zhai Nan have begun to doubt it.

"What does Mr. Zhai think? Wan Wan and Aixiao have also made a lot of money, why is the investment in new works so much!"

"I think Zhai Nan just wants to make a fortune while he is popular!"

"A high-end second-hand flag is more than 200,000!"

"I hope that Mr. Zhai's new movie can be filmed smoothly, and I bless Mr. Zhai to recover the cost. ”

"No matter how bad Mr. Zhai's movie is, I must support it, I am Mr. Zhai's brainless fan!"

"Upstairs is so brain-dead!"

"Therefore, there is no medicine for brain damage!"

"A movie with an investment of 200,000 yuan, watching it is also a waste of money. ”

"A movie ticket is sixty or seventy, who can't think so much, go to watch such a bad movie!"

"Look at this investment, it's really not worth this ticket price!"

"If he wants ten dollars a ticket, I will definitely support it!"

"And, ten yuan a ticket, Lao Tzu directly chartered the venue!"

At the same time as the Internet set off heated discussions, major media also began group ridicule.

"200,000 low-budget movies, Zhai Nan is obviously making money!"

"Zhai Nan's new movie was boycotted by all his peers!"

"Zhai Nan's new movie, before filming started, was boycotted first!"

"The big screen may not be suitable for Zhai Nan!"

"All netizens shout, Mr. Zhai, please feel at ease to do a good job of online programs!"

"Horror master Cao Mao, satirizing Zhai Nan, investment is not as good as one of my sheds!"

"Zhai Nan's film investment is not as good as a crew's lunch money!"

"Use fame to make money and treat all netizens as fools, this is Zhai Nan!"

"Don't do conscience dramas, only do low-cost, Zhai Nan's business strategy. 》

"Zhai Nan's new movie was boycotted by the whole people!" (to be continued. )
