Horror films, as a small investment, low-cost, high-return film genre, are the film themes sought after by countless directors and actors, both in this world and in previous lives. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

For example, in the previous life, "Ghost Shadow", "Blair the Witch", etc., tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands of dollars of investment got hundreds of millions of box office results, which can be said to be no worse than the money printing machine.

Although such a jaw-dropping 'miracle' has not happened in this world, horror movies are still a very prosperous and sought-after movie genre.

And compared with his previous life, there are several reasons that make Zhang Yang's heart move.

The first is the censorship of Chinese horror movies in this world.

In the previous life, Chinese horror films are undoubtedly synonymous with scum films, since the theme of Xiangjiang in the eighties and nineties, there are no works that can be done at all, there are many reasons for this, but the biggest reason is the restriction from the top.

As long as ghosts and superstitions are involved in a movie, many times it can't pass the review at all, and the result of this situation is that the final result of horror movies is much the same.

Either it's a neurotic, or it's just a group of neurotic fantasies, and in such a situation, there is no soil for horror movies to survive.

And the world is much more lenient in this regard, as long as there is no communication involved in the film work, the censorship agency generally rarely makes drastic changes to a work.

The second advantage comes from the traditional festival, Halloween, between July and August.

As we all know, after the earth in the previous life experienced the backwardness of modern times, in order to catch up with the developed countries of the West, it focused on economic development, not to mention culture, even the military capital and the like.

The lack of attention to culture has led to the loss of a lot of traditional crafts and culture, as well as many festivals.

And this unspoiled China, between July and August every year, happens to be the same traditional ghost festival, and horror movies naturally just take advantage of this festival to become popular.

It happened that this festival would arrive in more than half a month, and there was naturally no reason to give up for such an easterly blow.

As for the best reason, in Zhang Yang's view, it is the responsibility of a director.

The horror film boom in this world is indeed prosperous, but there are a lot of things missing, because the horror films in this world are all taking the orthodox route, that is to say, except for horror films such as ghosts and gods, other types of horror films are not taken seriously, and they are too single.

This makes Zhang Yang, who claims to be a director, involuntarily have a kind of obsessive-compulsive disorder.

Of course, having said all that, there is actually another type of movie, which is between horror and sci-fi direct, which is what we often call sci-fi horror films.

For example, Zhang Yang's "Alien" is this category, but because science fiction accounts for a large proportion of it, this kind of theme is mostly classified as science fiction, and the investment is even larger than the horror film investment mentioned above, I don't know how many times.

So even if people know about it, they will more classify this kind of work as science fiction to distinguish between the two.

"Curse", "Midnight Bell", "Uninvited" .......

I'm sorry, these horror movies that were very famous in the previous life were directly excluded by Zhang Yang, because these movies are horror movies with ghost themes.

Then came the ...... of "Saw Horror" and "Fright Night".

Isn't there such a thing as an oriental movie? ’

After a large number of Western works flashed in his mind, Zhang Yang sighed helplessly.

There's no way, the field of Chinese horror films is really not competitive.

Publicity can only spread to the entire eastern region.

'Huh. ’

Suddenly, Zhang Yang thought of a movie.

"Masquerade"!

Then another movie came to mind.

"Deadly Cut"!

These are two works that are much the same.

Zhang Yang first knew that these two works started from the latter.

At the beginning, after Zhang Yang watched "Fatal Cutting", he couldn't help but sigh why Huaxia couldn't make such a good work.

In particular, a review of this film: 'The most heinous crime, the most embarrassing motive, the most elusive murderer, the most unconfessable feelings!' ’

It is said that the master is in the people, and this comment made Zhang Yang can't help but applaud.

But why is such a good movie so discredited?

After reading the comments and understanding afterwards, Zhang Yang completely understood the whole story.

It turns out that this movie is exactly the same as another Korean movie, but since "Masquerade" was released two years earlier than "Fatal Cut", many people think that the latter is completely plagiarized from the former.

However, as a director, Zhang Yang does not fully agree with these comments.

Whether it's true plagiarism or pure coincidence, the director who shot this movie definitely put his heart into it.

In the previous life, Huaxia, even if it was plagiarism, it couldn't plagiarize such a good work, so it was useless!

And to put it mildly, what if it was Hollywood that made the film? Will this still happen? That's absolutely impossible.

I guess this work will definitely shine.

It's like "Infernal Affairs", which is known as the pinnacle of Chinese language, its influence is limited to Asia, while on the other hand, Hollywood's remake "The Departed" has attracted the attention of the world.

not only threw off the original work several streets at the box office, but also won numerous international awards.

Even many people only know "The Departed" but don't know the original "Infernal Affairs", which has to be said to be a kind of irony and sadness.

Therefore, whether a movie is excellent or not, in addition to the quality of the movie itself, the filming party is also a very important reason.

Since it was decided to shoot this work, Zhang Yang did not procrastinate, but immediately began to call Li Qiang and the two to discuss the script of this movie.

'Boss, you're this. ’

After listening to Zhang Yang finish the story, Li Qiang and the others couldn't help but give a thumbs up.

As a veteran screenwriter, although I only heard the general outline of one story, this does not prevent this from being a very good story.

Especially the big reversal of the ending, Li Qiang and the two couldn't help but get goosebumps.

Who would have thought that the girlfriend next to them was a transgender person and was also their best friend when they were a student?

The same head, one mouth, two eyes and one nose, why hasn't anyone come up with such a unique script before?

'Boss, this movie is not expected to be too high at the box office. ’

After all, it is a minority, and Zhao Ping couldn't help but say his thoughts.

'Don't worry, I didn't expect the box office, I went to win the award. ’

Zhang Yang said his true purpose.

This world horror film is prosperous, but it has never been recognized by mainstream awards, and Zhang Yang wants to be the first person!
