In the original time and space," The Ring " was considered the most representative horror movie in Japan. The Japanese flavor was very strong.
If Lin Shi changed it to a Chinese background, it was not impossible, but it would inevitably lose its original unique essence.
Moreover, although this was a parallel universe, the domestic review of horror movies was still relatively strict.
Many horror movies couldn't get into the cinema because of excessive gore and scale.
Feng Kang was an example. His movies couldn't pass the review of the cinema chains, and no cinema chains were willing to accept them.
Although the old corpse of the mountain village and the midnight ring were considered to have appeared out of nowhere, there were no detailed review requirements for this type of horror film in the country.
However, the risk was still too high if he wanted to let it enter the cinema.
Moreover, there was no guarantee that he would be punished at any time.
Now that the Songzhu company had come knocking on their door, it was a good opportunity.
It was not easy to film in China, so he might as well film in Japan.
On the other hand, Lin Shi also wanted to use this opportunity to experiment.
Let's see how big the difference in distress points would be between watching a movie on the internet and watching it in cinemas.
Next, it was the project for the Ring of the Midnight.
Actually, this step was very simple.
Because the script was ready-made, and the director was himself.
Even the storyboard had reference to the original.
The only thing Lin Shi had to do now was to choose actors.
……
Two weeks later.
On the Weibo forum, some sharp-eyed netizens noticed that Stars Media had suddenly announced a movie project.
At the same time, the opening ceremony of the movie was also announced.
When everyone saw the information bar of the movie, their memories that were about to fall asleep immediately woke up.
Movie Title: The Ring
Producer: Lin Shi
Director: Lin Shi
Written by: Lin Shi
Lead actor: Gao Yuanyuan
[Estimated release time: 3 months]
……
"The director is Lin Shi! This guy had actually started preparing for his next movie. He was so fast!”
"This dog thief actually dared to film another movie! See if I don't spit him to death!"
"This movie has a horror theme again! I don't know why, but I suddenly feel a little excited…"
"To tell you the truth, so am I. I still recognize this fellow's terrifying foundation. None of the horror directors in the country could compare to him at the moment.”
As they were discussing, someone said in surprise,"
"Look! The lead actor is Gao Yuanyuan! My goddess!"
"What is it? Damn, it's really Gao Yuanyuan! She's actually acting in a horror movie?”
"Don't forget that Gao Yuanyuan is one of the pillars of Stars Media. Wasn't it normal for her to star in a movie?”
"That's true, but Gao Yuanyuan has been quite popular in the past few years. She even won the Best Female Lead award. Logically speaking, with her status, she shouldn't have filmed a horror movie!”
"Who is this Lin Shi? Why do I feel like he's a little awesome in Stars Media? It was fine if he was the director, but he was also the producer! He even asked Gao Yuanyuan to film a horror movie for him.”
Almost everyone was surprised that Gao Yuanyuan was going to star in a horror movie.
No matter how the Village Zombie's performance was, horror movies were still a niche, and their status was lower than other movie categories.
For many actors, acting in horror movies was a stain on their acting career. It was a way of lowering their status.
……
Stars Headquarters.
Lin Shi handed the file to Gao Yuanyuan.
"Sister Yuanyuan, this is your script. The movie will officially start shooting next Monday. You can try to figure out the characters in these few days.”
"Alright, Director Lin."
Gao Yuanyuan took the script with both hands and smiled like a flower."Don't worry, I'll definitely take part in this movie.”
Honestly speaking, if it were any other director in the company, Gao Yuanyuan would definitely not accept a horror film.
But who was this person in front of him?
The young master of Stars.
In other words, he was also her young master.
She still had to depend on him to eat.
Moreover, Lin Shi's " Village Zombie " was also very popular recently. It was not inferior to other movies.
Of course, what moved Gao Yuanyuan the most was Lin Shi's proposal of a pay split.
The Mountain Village Zombie's share of the profits was there. He would get 20 million in network revenue at a cost of 500 thousand.
As Lin Shi's second work, the Ring of the Midnight would receive a share of the overseas copyright from Japan. The final profit would definitely not be lower than that of the old corpse in the village.
After considering many factors, Gao Yuanyuan accepted the invitation of the Ring.
And Lin Shi insisted on choosing Gao Yuanyuan as the female lead.
On the one hand, he could not have anything in his horror movies, but he had to have a beautiful woman. This was his creed.
On the other hand, it was because in the original time and space, Matsushima Nanako, who played the female lead, Asakawa Reiko, was quite eye-catching.
His version might not surpass her, but at least he could not be too far behind her.
Therefore, Gao Yuanyuan was his only choice.
Her unique temperament of gentleness and generosity was also very similar to that of Songdao Nanako.
……
At the same time, in the film department of Feng Yi Entertainment.
Zhou Qi stared at Feng Kang and threw the document back.
"Feng Kang, you won't be able to pass the project approval for your new movie.”
"Director Zhou, why is this?"
"Didn't we agree on this before?" Feng Kang was anxious.”
"Agreed? Haha."
Zhou Qi sneered." I remember that we agreed on this before. You said that your data would definitely surpass the Mountain Village Zombie's. What happened in the end?"”
"This…I…"
Feng Kang was speechless.
"Xiao Feng, the company's higher-ups are very disappointed in you now. Let's put the project of your movie on hold for now.”
"And I've already watched it. It's just another bloody movie. There's nothing special about it. Now, the company has other tasks for you.”
"What mission?" Feng Kang was puzzled.”
"You should be familiar with the old corpse from the mountain village, right?" Zhou Qi said slowly.”
" This…of course it's not unfamiliar."
I've been beaten so badly by this movie that even my mother can't recognize me. How can I be unfamiliar with it?
"The company wants you to make a similar horror film based on the old corpse in the village. What do you think?”
