The Director of Music Department

Regarding what Mi Huayuan said, to be honest, including Wang Yifan and Dai Xinyue were a little surprised.

Especially Wang Yifan, although he has always felt that suspense movies have a relatively low probability of being a blockbuster, but he has never felt that suspense movies are niche movies.

But after thinking about it carefully, Wang Yifan suddenly discovered that, in fact, suspense movies have really rarely released blockbusters.

Even in the previous life, in fact, only the "Detective Chinatown" series and "Wu Shuang" were the two suspense films with a box office of over 1 billion!

In fact, in terms of genre classification, there are not many films that purely emphasize the suspense genre.

Most of them are also suspense movies that tend to integrate multiple elements.

For example, blockbuster movies such as "Detective Chinatown" and "Wu Shuang", and later "Assassination of Novelists", in fact, cannot be regarded as true pure suspense films.

More suspense films still tend to integrate suspense elements with other types. For example, "Wu Shuang" incorporates commercial types of criminal action into a suspenseful story, and the "Detective Chinatown" series adds crime based on reasoning. Comedy genre!

The real ones can be regarded as pure suspense-emphasizing films, probably "The Invisible Guest", "Master of Hypnotism", "Devotion of Suspect X", "Psychological Crime" and so on.

In fact, the box office of these movies can only be regarded as small hits at best, but the box office ceiling is very limited.

"More than that, in fact there is another point, that is, purely suspense movies have very high requirements for scripts, after all, there are only a few movie scripts with amazing plots like "The Devotion of Suspect X", and, It also has a lot to do with online dramas, because in terms of online dramas, suspense crime online dramas can be said to have the best average data among online dramas. The requirements are naturally higher."

"Because, in fact, in many cases, high-quality online suspense crime dramas adopt the unit drama model most of the time, that is, one episode for one case, or two episodes for one case. In fact, this kind of online drama can already be said to be a unit drama. This is an alternative movie model, and a large number of potential audiences for this kind of movie are actually the same audience for this kind of online drama, and many of them are senior audiences, so their requirements for movie scripts will change. higher."

"In the past, when some suspense-type films were released, netizens on the Internet often complained that they were not as good as certain online dramas!"

"As for suspense movies that incorporate other elements, I have also considered it, but on the one hand, I am actually not good at it. On the other hand, in fact, suspense movies that incorporate other elements are, to some extent, more risky. For example, movies with suspense + comedy elements. In fact, many directors in China have tried it, but the results are nondescript. When it should be funny, it’s not funny. When it shouldn’t be funny, it’s easy to destroy it. create an atmosphere.”

"In fact, at present, the most successful ones are suspense elements + criminal action elements, but this kind of movies face another problem, that is, on the one hand, they have high requirements for scripts, and on the other hand, they are costly. will increase significantly.”

Mi Huayuan has obviously done in-depth research on this.

Regarding Mi Huayuan's point of view, Wang Yifan did not give any judgment.

To be honest, what Mi Huayuan said, right?

This kind of situation does exist, but there are exceptions to everything, and as long as there are exceptions, then this kind of investigation is actually untenable.

Why do you say that?

In the previous life, many people watched Huaguo's sci-fi movies and said that Huaguo's sci-fi movies were almost missing genres.

This point has been affirmed by countless people, but in fact?

Is it really?

Later, after the appearance of sci-fi movies such as "The Wandering Earth", didn't they break this statement?

Who would have imagined that the "Detective Chinatown" series could earn such a high box office?

So, to put it bluntly, everything lies in the story!

Because the market is always changing.

What Mi Huayuan said is correct. For example, influenced by a large number of suspenseful boutique online dramas, it is true that audiences will definitely have higher requirements when comparing similar movies.

But in fact, it is still a question of the director and the script.

"The Devotion of Suspect X" is considered a suspense genre, and it also emphasizes suspense elements.

The selling point is the same.

But in the end, this movie won a high box office.

Therefore, Wang Yifan never treats it in the same way.

Of course, Wang Yifan is actually just curious as to why Mi Huayuan has never been on the big screen. He still believes in Mi Huayuan's strength.

So with a reliable director and Wang Yifan's reliable script, why can't a reliable movie be made?

As for Mi Huayuan's personal reasons, Wang Yifan actually didn't care.

Dai Xinyue frowned slightly. To be honest, she was the most optimistic about Mi Huayuan.

Among the three directors, the real target of the big director project is also Mi Huayuan.

Because, "The Devotion of Suspect X" proves that suspense movies have a lot to do.

As for Chen Shaojun, to be honest, Dai Xinyue didn't think that Chen Shaojun was much better than Mi Huayuan. In her opinion, Chen Shaojun's advantage was that there was a young man named Wang Yifan.

But after hearing Mi Huayuan's words, Dai Xinyue immediately felt a little uneasy.

At this time, Wang Yifan smiled and said: "Actually, in my opinion, Director Mi should have said a little less, and that is the domestic environmental problem, right?"

Yes, in fact, many people in China will mention the issue of reviewing suspense films.

Mi Huayuan nodded and said, "That's true, because these kinds of films usually involve official law enforcement agencies."

"The prevalence of suspenseful reasoning culture in island countries actually has a lot to do with the local environment of the island countries, and it also has a relationship with the audience's perception."

"In island countries, people actually don't have a good impression of the police! Therefore, we can often see that in island countries, in many novels or film and television works, the official law enforcement departments often have clown characters or supporting roles. Ordinary law enforcement officers, and most of the time, the works of law enforcement officers as the protagonists are almost weird!"

"But this is obviously not possible in Huaguo, especially when a crime occurs, you will never be able to leave the law enforcement department. At the same time, in terms of character setting, Huaguo does not allow too much deviation in character design, especially those who pretend to be ugly. The role of law enforcement officers..."

For this point, Wang Yifan agrees.

On the one hand, it is not allowed by the government, but on the other hand, it is also because it does not conform to the facts!

For example, in island countries, because the image of law enforcement officers in the eyes of the public is not good, so if there are weird law enforcement officers, no one will be surprised.

In fact, in other words, real detectives are all weirdos in the eyes of the people of the island country, which also proves from the side that the people are generally dissatisfied with their law enforcement officers.

And obviously not in China!

Because the image of law enforcement officers in everyone's eyes is relatively positive.
