Chapter 1355 The Difficulty of Suspenseful Reasoning Movies
Shooting a movie like "The Invisible Guest" is really a bit different from other movies.

Because "The Invisible Guest" is a suspense film, it needs to create an atmosphere of tit-for-tat psychological games.

Therefore, for actors, it is actually not a small challenge.

For example, Chen De'an played by Chen Weijie, he has read the script beforehand, although not all of it, but he also knows the general idea.

Therefore, he knew that the person in front of him was not the real Barrister Goodman.

At first, Li Yi also thought about whether to hide it from Chen Weijie, but in the end he gave up.

Because this is difficult in itself, after all, it is not really playing with the script, and it is impossible for the actors to play freely in this movie.

Therefore, at this time, the acting skills of the actors are especially tested.

However, although Chen Weijie said that among the many film stars, his acting skills are not the best, but his years of acting career have given him enough experience and acting skills to deal with this kind of drama.

In fact, for Li Yihe and those who have read the complete script, it may be nothing.

But for other people in the whole crew who don't know the complete plot, it's really enjoyable to watch.

Even many crew members would use their brains to guess what the story of the movie would be like in their spare time.

Li Yi quite likes this kind of atmosphere, because it makes everyone more involved.

The fact is also the same. During the filming, whether it is behind-the-scenes workers or some supporting roles, every time a certain plot is filmed, there will be a feeling of playing with the script.

Li Yi found that this kind of atmosphere really helped to improve the enthusiasm of the crew.

Of course, because of the shooting of the movie, although Li Yi tried to shoot according to the timeline of the movie most of the time, "The Invisible Guest" is obviously not like this.

After all, there are a lot of plots interspersed in it.

And for others, it's even more interesting, why?
Because, although there are actually only two cases in this movie, in fact, there are multiple versions.

It was even difficult for the onlookers to judge which version was the real one.

This only increased their curiosity about the story.

"The Invisible Guest" is a "fight of wits" drama in the true sense, a drama of psychological games.

The charm of light and shadow in this movie is that no matter whether the version you say is true or false, it can be displayed through real pictures, which will allow the audience to have an intuitive understanding. I got that confused feeling after reading it.

Maybe it's because Li Yi has made three films in a row that were well-received but not particularly high-grossing movies, or maybe it's because suspense and thriller movies, although not uncommon among domestic movies, are not particularly bright. the reason for the performance.

Therefore, some people with strong heads began to focus on Li Yi.

To be honest, when Li Yi first became famous in the past, people would come out to touch porcelain from time to time, but after the great devil's power was revealed, there were much fewer people touching porcelain.

Again, when there are enough interests, there will always be people who want to take shortcuts.

And this time is undoubtedly an excellent opportunity for some people.

The movie that defeated Li Yi head-on!Defeat the big devil!That can definitely be said to be a fast shortcut to fame.

Of course, the threshold for taking this shortcut is quite high.

In fact, during this period of time, whether in the media or on the Internet, many people are indeed discussing Li Yi's new film "The Invisible Guest".

Discuss what?
Naturally, it is whether Li Yi can create miracles again!
Regardless of the hardcore movie fans who support Li Yi or others, no matter how confident they are in Li Yi, one thing I have to admit is that Li Yi's three consecutive literary films have indeed brought some influence.

That's box office!
Of course, no one will really question Li Yi's strength and status. After all, even if Li Yi only lives on his laurels, he will still be the only major director of Chinese-language movies.

After all, all the achievements and awards he has received have actually happened.

For example, among the four well-established directors in China, some of them have only made one truly high-profile movie in their career, and most of them rest on their laurels, but no one still questions his status.

Not to mention Li Yi.

However, the more this is the case, the more people hope that someone can step forward and completely kill the big devil!

Even movie fans, netizens, and the media are encouraging the appearance of such a dragon-slaying messenger.

"Speaking of which, Director Dog has been invincible for so long, why hasn't anyone come out to challenge him?"

"Haha, because the people who challenged were oppressed by the big devil! Whoever touches it will know!"

"This time it's a suspense and thriller theme. To be honest, it's really a good opportunity. After all, domestic movies and other themes, for reasons that everyone understands, seem to have few really big hits, and It seems that Director Dog’s movie this time is not a big production, so are you afraid to do it? Is there really no one in the domestic director circle?”

"Upstairs, you've said it before. Director Dog doesn't even have a literary and artistic film, and no one can directly face his edge. Not to mention that this time it's not an artistic film."

"According to reliable sources, "The Invisible Guest" is likely to be a gimmick. It may be suspenseful, but if it's a thriller, it doesn't feel like it!"

"This reliable news, is it really reliable?"

"My third uncle's daughter-in-law's younger brother's friend works in the relevant review department. It is said that this script was submitted for review and passed almost instantly. Think about it, if there are any horror elements in it, would it be so easy to pass? Therefore, there is only one truth, and there is a high probability that this movie is quite satisfactory."

"Fuck, is it true?"

"Could it be the line of reasoning? I'm really worried about this kind of movie!"

"Indeed, the previous few suspense films that followed this route, although the box office was not bad, but it was difficult to really surprise them."

In fact, the judgment of movie fans and netizens is indeed correct.

Because of suspense and reasoning movies, the requirements for scripts can be said to be quite high.

Not only does it require that there are no obvious bugs in the logic, but also, in order to achieve a surprising level, various elements must be taken into account, such as suspense shaping, foreshadowing, revealing the truth, etc., must have something to watch, otherwise If it is, even if there is no BUG, ​​it is just mediocre.

But if you want to achieve a relatively perfect logic, you must also take into account the viewability and make people feel amazing. This kind of movie, let alone a domestic movie, even if you look at global movies, this kind of movie is still very rare. number.

Moreover, they are usually based on novels.

For example, Hollywood movies are mostly based on the works of well-known mystery novelists or best-selling books.

Because of suspense and reasoning stories, most of the time, it is really difficult for screenwriters to be so comprehensive if they are original.

After all, screenwriters often need to take into account a variety of themes, and suspense and reasoning works usually involve more than just one or two things.

Some powerful reasoning writers can even add various elements to novels and stories, such as mathematics, religious beliefs, physics, astronomy, etc., which can be said to be very extensive.

But in novels, you may not need to be too rigorous. Many times, you can click to the end without affecting reading, but when it becomes a movie, it is completely different.

The audience for mystery novels and the audience for movies are very different in themselves.

Closer to home.

Despite this, there are still very few directors who really want to challenge the Great Demon King. Of course, here are the qualified directors.

Unless some young directors are crazy, they would not dare to touch the tiger's butt.

However, the temptation to always challenge Li Yi, the demon-slayer brave, the anti-Li pioneer, etc. is still too great, so soon someone "steps forward"!
Xu Feng, this name is quite famous to many Chinese people.

Xu Feng is a famous director in Hong Kong Island. In terms of qualifications, he is even deeper than the four famous mainland directors.

He is also known as a famous ghost director. He once created many classic works in the golden age of Hong Kong Island movies.

Moreover, Xu Feng is different from many other directors in that he is relatively unconventional and particularly likes series movies. He is also the director who has produced the most series of movies and is the most successful among current Chinese-language films.

And there is no coincidence without a book, and of course touching porcelain is not just casually touching.

Xu Feng is naturally qualified to meet Li Yi, because right now, the suspense and reasoning movie with the highest box office is produced by him.

The point is, it's still a series of movies.

Moreover, Xu Feng's reasoning series of movies are adapted from the series of novels "Book of the Dead" by the famous reasoning writer Miyamoto Ichiro in Japan.

Previously, a single film has received nearly 10 billion box office results.

It can be said that it is currently the most successful suspense reasoning film.

Although the reputation is not top-notch, it is not bad either. This time, the second film in the "Book of the Dead" series, "Death Overlook", is about to start filming.

"We have the popularity of the previous work, plus the fan base of the novel itself, and don't forget, this is a suspense and reasoning movie, so I think the chances of winning this time are not small!" Xu Feng's old partner Chen Zhaojun said.

"Mr. Miyamoto, what do you think?" As the top mystery novelist in the island country, Ichiro Miyamoto is also the screenwriter of a series of movies. His status in the mystery fiction world is self-evident, so even in Xu Feng's movie It also has a high voice.

After all, as I said before, there are very few original films of this type that are successful.

Most of them are adaptations of already best-selling novels.

"Reasoning requires very rigorous logic, and novels can be deduced through a large amount of text, but movies can't. In my personal opinion, it is very difficult to achieve logical rigor and also need to be brilliant. Yes! The adaptation of "Book of the Dead" also took me a lot of hard work and time, but it is still difficult to achieve the level of rigor of the novel!" Miyamoto Ichiro said lightly.

"But that's Li Yi! His movies should not be underestimated no matter what!" Xu Feng naturally didn't really think that he could underestimate a top celebrity like Li Yi.

Don't look at Li Yi's screenwriter's name being covered by the director's halo, but in fact it's just because his director's halo is too dazzling, it doesn't mean that his screenwriting level is low. On the contrary, it can be said that Li Yi is more than He is the big devil in the director circle, and he is definitely the top figure in the screenwriter circle.

After all, almost all of Li Yi's works can be said to have been written by him alone, which is simply terrifying.

Although Li Yi is most famous for tearjerking and sensationalism, it does not mean that he is not good in other aspects.

"Actually, I think we can give it a try. Once it succeeds, the benefits to our film and to Director Xu are definitely worth the risk!" Chen Zhaojun said.

"And it can save a lot of publicity funds, why not do it?" Chen Zhaojun added again.

From his point of view, this is an obvious thing. As he said, as long as this topic is raised, a lot of publicity funds can be saved.

After all, you can't deny that even Xu Feng is not weak, but compared to Li Yilai, he is still a lot worse.

As soon as the news about Li Yi's movie project was released, countless netizens rushed to discuss it, and the media even reported it.

And now the media and netizens have already stirred up the topic of "Demon Slayer Warrior". At this time, as long as this topic is caught, the exposure of the movie will definitely be huge.

The point is, even they don't need to spend too much resources, as long as Xu Feng stands up and says a word, it is enough.

This kind of publicity is too cost-effective.

From a business perspective, it can be said that there is no loss at all.

Of course, as a director, Xu Feng, who is also a famous director of his predecessors, still needs face. To touch a junior, even a top director like Li Yi, he still needs face.

However, if it is a tie, or if there is hope of winning the battle, then this is naturally not Pengci.

"Okay! Let's do it!" Xu Feng said after thinking about it for a while.

There are not only considerations of interests, but also his pride as a veteran director.

Once upon a time, he, Xu Feng, could be said to be a famous director in the Chinese film industry, even compared to the four famous directors in the mainland, but now he is firmly suppressed by a junior like Li Yi.

You know, Li Yi's old man used to be only a green leaf supporting role in his movies.

Therefore, of course he also wanted to win Li Yi, not to mention the huge benefits contained in it.

So soon Xu Feng held a high-profile launch conference for the second film in the "Book of the Dead" series, "Death Overlooked".

At the launch conference, it was no surprise that a reporter asked about Li Yi's new film "The Invisible Guest".

"Suspense and reasoning movies require very strict logic. There are very few such good movies in domestic movies. In my personal opinion, the main reason is the script. For the screenwriter of "Death Overlooked", we specially invited the island nation's hall level Mystery novelist Ichiro Miyamoto is the screenwriter, so I have absolute confidence in "Death Overlooked"!"

"As for Director Li's "The Invisible Guest", due to the limited information we know, we don't know for the time being, but if the same movie is about reasoning, then when the time comes, everyone can compare it!"
