The Director of Music Department

Many people think that as long as the protagonist is portrayed well in a movie, everything will be fine, but in fact, the protagonist is very important.

But if the whole movie has only one main character with an online IQ, and everyone else is mentally retarded, then this work is definitely a bargain.

And what is mentioned here, character creation, does not mean that the people around the protagonist should be as smart as possible, but that they should have their own characteristics.

For example, in "Detective Chinatown", in fact, Tang Ren's role has never been a positive one.

It can be said that this is a representative of LOSER, or, in fact, you can regard this character as the male version of Sister Feng!

Yes, in Wang Yifan's understanding, that is the case!

But the difference is that the reason why "Detective Chinatown" can break through the barriers of the original comedy or suspense drama is because of the shaping of other characters in this movie.

And, the case in the movie!

It can be said that the first part can definitely be regarded as the most exciting part of "Detective Chinatown".

Because, in the first part, many characters are portrayed quite well.

 …

"Having said so much, does Director Mi have any ideas of his own?" Wang Yifan asked with a smile.

Going forward is not a business, although he has reached an agreement with Times Light and Shadow.

But it doesn't have to be anyone, does it?

So Wang Yifan first asked Mi Huayuan if he had any inclinations.

Because in fact, many directors have their own personal style.

For example, Feng Dapao in his previous life, his early works were all grassroots comedies. Although he began to transform later, in fact, Feng Dapao after the transformation, to be honest, was not very successful.

Many directors have their own personal style and preferences, and they change rashly. To be honest, many times, there will be a sense of disobedience.

For example, can you imagine that when Master Xing's nonsensical comedies are popular, he suddenly went to shoot a drama?

Mi Huayuan thought for a while and said: "I also hope to take the fusion route. After all, pure suspense movies are really too difficult. The main thing is to worry about the market! Because everyone, to be honest, I have watched too many such online dramas. .”

Yes, with the emergence of web dramas, many people may think that web dramas and movies are not two different things?

But in fact, online dramas also have a great impact on the big market.

Because of the restraining order of the drama involved in the case, you have to ask, what kind of episodes are the most and most popular among online dramas in this year and month?

The answer must be the episodes of the suspenseful crime series.

And because the quality of high-quality online dramas is also not low, even in many cases, the production of high-quality online dramas is more sophisticated than the main dramas of TV stations. In addition, the scale of online dramas is actually higher than that of regular TV dramas. It's going to be a lot bigger.

For this reason, instead, high-quality online dramas emerge in endlessly.

As for the audience who like this type, although it is not to say that they are completely overlapping, the fact is that most people will watch this type of online drama and also watch similar movies.

The problem is that they have long been improved their appreciation ability by such online dramas.

All kinds of bizarre cases, all kinds of unimaginable ways to solve cases, etc., are not new to them, and even to many viewers.

At this time, if the plot logic of the movie is not so good, even if it is slightly worse, it will be complained about.

Simply put, they demanded more from the movies.

In contrast, movies like "Wolf Warrior" are actually because Chinese people have relatively low requirements for such movies.

Because before this, there were too few such movies in China.

However, suspenseful film and television works, although there are relatively few blockbusters on the big screen, but among the online dramas, there are many high-quality products.

"The Devotion of Suspect X" does seem to break the curse, but in fact, the movie "Devotion of Suspect X" is structurally different from most suspenseful film and television works in the past. , there is a big difference.

Normal film and television works of this type.

Usually the opening chapter is the direct crime scene, and then the deciphering begins.

But "The Devotion of Suspect X" is completely different. The structure of this movie is different from other suspense movies.

In fact, it is not uncommon to shoot like this, but it can be said that this is playing with fire, because this kind of model is of course possible, but it requires extremely meticulous logic.

You can't let the audience guess the follow-up at once, otherwise, the whole movie will become boring!

But such scripts are always too few, too few.

In fact, the suspense films that were sold on the market later, such as the "Sherlock Holmes" series, to be honest, they are not pure detective films at all.

There are also many things mixed in, such as gun battles, CP and so on.

It can be said that it is really difficult for this kind of movie to stand out and simply follow the suspenseful route.

Mi Huayuan thought for a while and then said: "Actually, apart from "Suspect", there have been suspense movies that have been selling well, all of which are mixed with elements such as gunfights and action. To be honest, I am quite good at these."

Wang Yifan was noncommittal when he heard the words, but secretly shook his head in his heart.

Yes, Mi Huayuan had worked as an American drama director in Hollywood, and there were many dramas such as gun battles in the series.

But the problem is that this kind of movie, to be honest, is not saying that it can't be done, but that there are too many of this kind of movie.

In fact, the current division of movies is relatively general.

The vast majority of movies, including shootout movies, including action movies, in fact, most of the time, will incorporate elements of suspense.

So can this kind of movie be considered a suspense movie?

It's not that Wang Yifan wants to cling to it, but he knows that the road for this kind of movie is getting narrower and narrower.

Because such movies, for audiences who like freshness, are increasingly lacking in surprises.

Mi Huayuan said again: "But, I tried it before..."

Mi Huayuan's words made Wang Yifan a little confused, have you tried it?

I do not know how?

Are you afraid you are shaking me?

After Mi Huayuan returned to China, he only made one movie, but it was a very orthodox suspense movie, and it didn't incorporate gunfight elements as he said.

Mi Huayuan also saw Wang Yifan's doubts, and explained with a smile: "I mean in the online drama!"

Wang Yifan nodded in relief.

Then there's nothing wrong with it.

"What was the result?" Wang Yifan was also a little curious.

To be honest, when he watched online dramas in his previous life, it seemed that there were very few online dramas that were suspenseful and combined with elements of gunfights and action.

In fact, it is very simple to put it bluntly, because adding suspense dramas of the gunfight action series, on the one hand, the cost will increase significantly, and on the other hand, it is also because such dramas are often thankless.

Mi Huayuan smiled wryly and said, "Very bad! Because it's taking the place out of the way!"

Wang Yifan immediately understood.

Yes, adding these gunfights and action elements can easily overwhelm the audience.

In fact, Wang Yifan thought that "Wu Shuang" was not bad as the best domestic film in his previous life. To be honest, he didn't have much impression of the others.
