Considering his inappropriate move, Oren Pelly sat back down.

"As I bluntly say, I'm a timid person in real life, afraid of everything related to ghosts and supernatural things, afraid to read books on this subject, I don't want to know stories about this genre, and I don't even dare to watch a funny movie like 'Ghostbusters'......"

Kim knew this in his previous life, and he interrupted Oren Paley's narration and instead said something he had thought out in advance.

"Mr. Paley, you must understand that fear comes from within us, and as soon as we decide in our hearts that it is something that does not exist, the fear will disappear. I don't deny it, I'm also scared of things like spirits and ghosts, even if it's just legends. ”

"The reason for this is simple, because sometimes I prefer to believe that everything is true, and over time, they become my nightmares. However, we don't have to reject such movies at all. ”

"In the movie, you can show something bizarre, you can say that those things are your own fears, but when you can face them up and materialize that they don't exist, the fears disappear. ”

Oren Paley nodded, agreeing with these statements, and then asked, "What is the general plot of the movie?"

Jin Jingcheng said: "The plot is very simple, I will say a paragraph, and you can imagine it in your mind according to this paragraph." ”

Oren Pelly nodded again.

"If you and your girlfriend suddenly move into a new house, and you want to use a video camera, you want to take a picture of what happens in the house when no one is around, the point is, when you put this camera at night, you and your girlfriend are sleeping, what can the camera capture? What if the camera captures something very abnormal......

"You know, when you sleep, it's the most real time for human beings, and it's also the time when human beings are the most vulnerable, and if some thieves or something else sneaks into your house at this time, you basically can't do anything about it......"

After listening carefully, Oren Paley seemed to grasp the main line of the movie, and suddenly became intrigued.

Oren Paley said: "So this is a pseudo-documentary?"

Jin Jingcheng nodded appreciatively: "Yes." ”

Oren Paley asked, "Similar to Blair the Witch?"

"The-Blair-witch-Project" (The-Blair-witch-Project) is a pseudo-documentary film released in the United States in 1999, and it is also a film with a small budget and big investment, with an investment of only 30,000 euros, but it has created a box office miracle of 300 million US dollars.

Pseudo-documentary movies like this mainly play with filming techniques, mainly fight with marketing methods, and the story plot is often relatively simple.

The general plot of "Blair the Witch" is that three students travel to the town of Burkittsville, Maryland, to interview locals in order to make a documentary about the legend of Blair the witch, and two locals tell them that a hermit named Rustin Parr kidnapped seven children between 1940 and 1941.

Parr took the children into the basement of his house and killed the children in the corner every time they faced it...... Parr eventually surrendered to the police, and later went insane when he said that a witch geist who had been killed in the 17th World had lured him to kill 7 children......

Since the success of "Blair the Witch", many directors who don't have a lot of money but want to show off their skills have started the idea of DV and documentary-style films. As a result, they did their best to get closer to "Blair the Witch" in terms of filming techniques and marketing methods.

It is undeniable that the new ideas for making films shown by "Blair the Witch" are indeed a way out for ultra-low-budget films, but few of the followers have succeeded.

Knowing this, Oren Pelly asked, "Is there anything special about this pseudo-documentary film that you plan me to make? If not, I'm afraid it's going to be difficult to succeed, right?"

Kim Kyung-sung said appreciatively: "Naturally, there must be something special, and in my vision, this film must not be just to show a horror film, but to target the spiritual world of individuals." ”

"While a film like 'Blair the Witch' is very successful, it lacks something really moving, a theme and a core, and the whole film is just looking for something that doesn't exist from start to finish. ”

"Therefore, in the film I planned, I must set a theme, and the theme I imagined is two simple words - real! I hope you can understand what I mean, in this movie, the real human emotions are truly expressed, as if there is no way to be real, fear and the unknown are the best carriers. ”

What Jin Jingcheng is saying now is all the thoughts of Leolon Paley in his previous life, and Riollen Paley thought so and did so in his previous life, so that "Ghost Record" has a unique aesthetic because of its unique and fixed perspective.

Having said this, Oren Pelly has been basically moved and understands more deeply, although he is now just a small employee of a company that is not well-known, but he is very good at learning and can quickly keep up with the rhythm of Jin Jingcheng. It's just that he still has a little fear in his heart, and this fear is nothing else, it is the fear of supernatural ghosts in his character.

Jin Jingcheng saw a point, and finally said a paragraph, which was regarded as a reassuring pill for Oren Paley.

In fact, fear is a reaction to the unknown world and events, and it is a human instinct. In my opinion, this is a bridge between the real world and the illusory world, and with this bridge, there is also a key to a glimpse of the human spiritual world and the so-called supernatural world. All you have to do is use fear as a bridge and find the key!"

Oren Pelly was silent for a moment, and couldn't help but ask: "In this way, your idea is very mature and feasible, and you yourself are a doctoral student of Professor Nikolai, I wonder why you didn't make this film yourself?"

Jin Jingcheng said calmly: "I'm just more mature in terms of ideas, and you are more suitable for actual shooting, and to tell you the truth, I value you not only for your filming and production capabilities, but also for your potential publicity and marketing capabilities." ”

This is true, and it can be regarded as a perfunctory, if Jin Jingcheng executes the filming and marketing of "Ghost Shadow" by himself, with his solid foundation of a doctorate in film and a master's degree in business, I believe it is okay, but he doesn't have so much time and energy, and he doesn't want to spend time and energy on this.

If he had executed the film himself, it would have taken him a lot more time than Oren Pellido, so Facebook couldn't wait.

Oren Paley was a little surprised, he is indeed very confident in the promotion and marketing of the film, but so far, limited by his own status and surrounding environment, he has not performed well in this regard, how can Kim actually see this?

Fortunately, he didn't think much about it, but Jin Jingcheng's analytical ability was very strong, and he analyzed and summarized this from the relevant cases he had handled in the past.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Jin Jingcheng took out a stack of printed manuscript paper from a black cloth bag he was carrying, and handed it to Oren Paley: "This is the script I wrote, well, if you have something you want to modify during the filming process, I hope to discuss it with me in advance, except for this, I can give you the rights in other aspects." ”

It's not because Kim is domineering, but his script is written after sorting out and summarizing the original movies and existing problems in his previous life, and he doesn't want Oren Pelly to modify it casually, which may bring in the problems of his previous life.

For example, Jin Jingcheng knew that in his previous life, the DVD recorded at the beginning of "Ghost Shadow" had a bad ending, and then it was under the guidance of the great director Steven Spielberg that Paley revised it, which suddenly improved the quality of the entire film to a higher level, and now, Jin Jingcheng has revised it.

In fact, in the previous life, "Ghost Shadow" did not have a script, and all the lines were improvised by Oren Pelly at the filming site, but Jin Jingcheng deliberately spent a night last night to get the script out.

The reason is nothing else, for the copyright of the script, he knows that the "Ghost Shadow" he is proposing now will lead to a series after the success, and Kim Jingcheng does not have much ambition for the sequel to the series, but he still holds the copyright firmly, so that even if he goes to South Korea in the future, as long as the sequel is filmed in the United States, he will have a lot of copyright income.

"So, I wonder how much you're going to invest?" said Oren Paley, who finally touched on the specifics of the film.

Jin Jingcheng stretched out a palm.

Oren Paley said, "Fifty thousand dollars?"

This is a small amount of money, but Oren Pelly is still satisfied, after all, it is a small-budget pseudo-documentary, and it is shot by an inconspicuous newcomer like him, 50,000 dollars is already a good amount, and it is strange that it is more.

Jin Jingcheng shook his head and said indifferently: "No, you have to add another zero later." ”

Oren Paley couldn't help but get up from the couch again and asked in disbelief, "Is it half a million dollars?"

Jin Jingcheng nodded very definitely, yes, he plans to invest all the 500,000 US dollars brought by the script of "Brokeback Mountain" into "Ghost Shadow", not all of it is used for film shooting costs, mainly for publicity and marketing, in terms of filming alone, if too much cost is used, it will destroy the characteristics of "Ghost Shadow".

He wanted "Ghost Record" to bring him a good profit in the fastest time.

In his previous life, Oren Paley spent nearly two years in order to market "Ghost Record", and the film was shot in 2007, and he originally planned to enter the DVD market in early 2008, but because the producer and distributor did not negotiate the distribution, the release of the film was delayed again and again.

In a fit of rage, Oren Paley started his own distribution business, and finally succeeded in selling the rights to the film to 52 countries around the world!

"Ghost Record" did not enter the theater at the beginning, but was directly made into a DVD, and the film was very popular in the DVD market, and with the help of Steven Spielberg, it was able to be released in theaters.

The main reason for this is that Oren Paley has no capital, and in this world, it is often impossible to do things without money, and even if he is lucky enough to do it occasionally, it will take a lot of time and energy.

Jin Jingcheng never wants this, he can't wait, and Facebook can't wait.

He hopes that within half a year, "Ghost Shadow" will be profitable.

So Jin Jingcheng continued: "Don't get me wrong, 500,000 US dollars, the cost of filming and production is only 20,000 US dollars, I want you to use a portable home DV to shoot this film, the scene is the house where we are now, and the post-editing is also done on an ordinary home computer platform." ”

20,000 US dollars, 9,000 US dollars more than the 11,000 US dollars shooting cost in the previous life, this extra money, Jin Jingcheng believes that it can already make "Ghost Shadow" more perfect on the basis of maintaining its unique characteristics.

Oren Pelly was surprised when he heard this, but after calming down, he sat back on the sofa and said, "I know, you probably want to make a special product by doing this?"

Jin Jingcheng nodded appreciatively: "That's right." ”

He added: "The other $480,000 will be used for publicity and marketing. ”

Oren Paley pondered for a moment and said: "I think I understand what you mean, you want this film to be released and released as soon as possible and enter the public eye. ”

Jin Jingcheng felt more and more in his heart that Oren Pelly was very smart, no wonder he was able to create miracles in his previous life.

Jin Jingcheng said: "Regarding publicity and marketing, I believe that you can do a good job, and here, I only want to put forward two opinions. ”

Oren Pelly listened attentively, and after saying so much, he was already impressed by Jin Jingcheng's steadiness and resourcefulness.

"The first point is to make a compelling feature in the trailer, which can boldly capture the live reaction of the first audience to watch the film during the test screening, and broadcast it along with the film. In this way, the audience under the scene is like a group of ghost viewers under the hazy effect of night vision cameras, watching ghost movies, becoming ghost watching ghost movies, which is terrifying and can attract the audience to watch. ”

Oren Paley couldn't help but pull out a small notebook from his body and write it down carefully with a pen.

"The second point is that the DVD will be made at the beginning, and when it is finished, I hope that you will send one to Mr. Steven Spielberg immediately, and if you can win his appreciation, the film will be released more smoothly. ”

Oren Paley was surprised again, but he didn't ask any more, he couldn't help but be led away by Jin Jingcheng, and felt that Jin Jingcheng said this, most of which had its underlying truth.

"Anything else?" said Oren Paley, who was expecting Kim to say more.

Jin Jingcheng spread his hands, smiled and said, "I'm sorry, it's gone." ”

Oren Paley suddenly said, "Mr. King, it's a shame that you don't be an orator. ”

Jin Jingcheng smiled and said, "Yes? Maybe one day in the future, when I am poor and have no way out, I will go to this business." ”

Oren Perley laughed, at this moment, his heart was already burning with enthusiasm and ambition.

Seeing Jin Cheng look so calm, he even felt that the success of "Ghost Shadow" seemed to be an inevitable thing!
