Considering that his actions were inappropriate, Oren Pelley sat down again.

Oren-Pelley said truthfully: "As I said bluntly, I am a timid person in real life, afraid of everything related to ghosts and supernatural things, dare not read books on this, nor do I want to know stories about such topics, and I don't even dare to watch the funny movie "Ghostbusters"..."

Regarding this, Jin Jingcheng knew in his previous life that he interrupted Oren-Pelley's narrative and instead expressed his thoughts in advance.

"Mr. Pelley, you must understand that fear comes from our hearts. As long as we believe from the heart that it is something that does not exist, the fear will disappear. I also don't deny it. I am also afraid of things like supernatural and ghosts. Even if those are just legends, I am still afraid."

"The reason is simple, because sometimes I would rather believe that everything is true, and over time, they become my nightmare. However, we don't have to reject such movies because of this."

"In the movie, you can show some strange content, which can be said to be your own fear, but when you can face them and materially determine that those do not exist, the fear disappears."

Oren-Pelley 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 something, and you can imagine it in your mind based on this passage."

Oren Pelley nodded again.

"If you and your girlfriend suddenly move into a new house and you want to use a camera to take a picture of what happens at home when there is no one. The point is, when you put this camera at night and you and your girlfriend are sleeping, what can the camera take? If the camera takes pictures of some very abnormal pictures..."

"You know, sleeping is the most real time for human beings and the most vulnerable time for human beings. If there are thieves or other things sneaking into your house at this time, you are basically helpless..."

After listening carefully, Oren Pelley seemed to have grasped the main line of the movie and suddenly developed a strong interest.

Oren-Pelley said: "So it seems, is this a pseudo-documentary?"

Jin Jingcheng nodded in appreciation: "Yes."

Oren-Pelley asked: "It's similar to "Blair the Witch"?"

"The Blair-Witch-Project" is a pseudo-documentary film released in the United States in 1999. It is also a movie with a low cost investment. The investment was only 30,000 euros, but it created a box office miracle of 300 million US dollars.

For movies like this, the main thing you play is shooting techniques, the main thing you compete with is marketing methods, and the story plot is often relatively simple.

The general plot of "Blair the Witch" is that in order to create a documentary about the legend of Blair the Witch, three students went to Burkitsville, Maryland to interview locals. Two locals told them that a hermit named Rustin Parr kidnapped seven children between 1940 and 1941.

Parr brought these children into his basement, and whenever a child faced the corner, he killed the children in the corner... Parr eventually surrendered to the police, and later he was distracted and said that a witch who was killed in the 17th world lured him to kill seven children...

Since the success of "Blair Witch" has been a great success, many directors who do not have large financial support but want to show their skills have come up with the idea of ​​DV and documentary-style films. So they tried their best to move closer to "Blair Witch" in terms of shooting 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-cost movies, but later followers rarely succeeded.

Oren Pelley knew this and asked, "Is there anything special about this pseudo-documentary film you plan to let me make? If not, it would be difficult to succeed, right?"

Jin Jingcheng said with appreciation: "Of course there must be something special. In my vision, this movie must not be just to show a horror movie, but to target the personal spiritual world."

"Although a film like "Blair the Witch" is very successful, it lacks something that is really touching, a theme and core, and the whole film is just looking for something that doesn't exist from beginning to end."

"So, in the movie I planned, we must set a theme, and the theme I imagined is two simple words - truth! I hope you can understand what I mean. In this movie, it truly expresses the true emotions of human beings, as if there is no way to be real anymore. Fear and unknown are the best carriers."

What Kim Jingcheng said now is the thoughts of Rioren-Pelley in his previous life. Rioren-Pelley thought and did so in his previous life, so that "The Legend of Ghost" has a unique beauty due to its unique and fixed perspective.

Having said that, Oren Pelley has been basically moved and has a deep understanding. Although he is just an unknown company employee now, he is good at learning and can quickly keep up with Jin Jingcheng's rhythm. But he still has a little fear in his heart. This fear is nothing else, but his fear of supernatural ghosts in his personality.

Jin Jingcheng saw something and finally said something, which was to give Oren Pelly a reassurance.

"In fact, fear is a reaction to unknown worlds and events, and is an instinct of human beings. In my opinion, this is a bridge connecting the real world and the illusory world. With this bridge, there is a key to a glimpse of the human spiritual world and the so-called supernatural world. All you have to do is to treat fear as a bridge and then find that key!"

Oren-Pelley was silent for a moment and couldn't help but wonder: "It seems that your idea is very mature and feasible. And you are a doctoral student of Professor Nicholas. I'm very puzzled, why don't you shoot this video yourself?"

Jin Jingcheng said calmly: "I am just more mature in terms of ideas, and you are more suitable for shooting. To be honest, what I like about you is not only the filming and production capabilities of the movie, but also your potential publicity and marketing capabilities."

This is true and a perfunctory way. If Jin Jingcheng himself carried out the filming and marketing of "Ghost Records", he believed that it would be OK with his solid foundation as a doctorate in film and a master of business. However, he did not have so much time and energy, and was unwilling to spend his time and energy on this.

If he had performed the movie himself, in his estimate, it would have taken a lot of time than Oren Pelli, so Facebook wouldn't have been able to wait.

Oren Pelley was a little surprised. He was indeed very confident in film promotion and marketing. However, so far, he has not performed well in this regard due to his own status and surrounding environment. How could Jin Jingcheng see this?

Fortunately, he didn't think much about this, just thought that Jin Jingcheng had strong analytical skills and analyzed and summarized this from the relevant cases he had handled in the past.

Seeing that the time was almost done, Jin Jingcheng took out a stack of printed manuscript paper from a black cloth bag he was carrying and handed it to Oren-Pelley: "This is the script I wrote. Well, if you have something to modify during the shooting, I hope I can discuss it with me in advance. In addition to this, I can give you all the rights in other aspects."

This is not because Kim Jingcheng is domineering, but because his script was compiled and summarized based on the original movies and existing problems in his previous life. He did not want Oren Pelley to modify it casually, as this might bring in the problems in his previous life.

For example, Kim Jingcheng knew that the DVD recorded in "The Ghost Record" in his previous life ended badly. Later, under the guidance of the great director Steven Spielberg, Pelley revised it, which immediately improved the quality of the entire film. Now Kim Jingcheng has modified it.

In fact, there was no script in the previous life of "The Ghost Record" and all the lines were temporarily thought out by Oren Pelley at the filming site, but Kim Jong-sung spent a night last night to get the script out.

The reason is nothing else. For the sake of the copyright of the script, he knew that the "Ghost Record" he proposed now will lead to a series after its successful success. Kim Jong-sung did not have too much ambitions for the sequels of the series, but he still firmly controlled the copyright. In this way, even if he went to South Korea and the United States in the future, he would have a considerable copyright income as long as he filmed the sequel.

"So, I don't know how much you plan to invest?" Oren Pelley finally talked about the specific matters of the film.

Jin Jingcheng stretched out a palm.

Oren-Pelley said: "Fifty thousand dollars?"

This was a small amount of money, but Oren Pelley was still satisfied. After all, it was a small-cost pseudo-documentary film, and it was filmed by an inconspicuous newcomer like him. 50,000 US dollars is considered good, and it would be strange if it was too much.

Jin Jingcheng shook his head and said calmly: "No, there must be another zero afterwards."

Oren Pelley couldn't help but stand up from the sofa again and asked in disbelief: "Is it half a hundred thousand dollars?"

Jin Jingcheng nodded with certainty. Yes, he planned to invest all the $500,000 brought by the script of "Brokeback Mountain" into "Ghost Records", not all for the cost of filming, but mainly for promotion and marketing. As for shooting alone, if too much cost is used, it will destroy the characteristics of "Ghost Records".

He wanted "Ghost Record" to bring him rich profits in the fastest time.

In his previous life, Oren Pelley spent nearly two years in order to market the movie "Ghost Records" and completed in 2007. He originally planned to invest in the DVD market in early 2008, but because the producer and publisher did not negotiate the release, the release of the film was delayed again and again.

In a fit of anger, Oren Pelley started a distribution transaction and finally successfully sold the copyright of the movie to 52 countries in the world!

"The Ghost Record" was not screened in theaters at the beginning, but was directly produced into DVDs. The film was very popular in the DVD market, and with Steven Spielberg's help, it was released in theaters.

The main reason for this is that Oren Pelley has no capital. In this world, if you don’t have money, you often can’t do anything. Even if you can do it occasionally, you will have to spend a lot of time and energy.

Kim Jingcheng would never want this. He couldn't wait, and Facebook couldn't wait.

He hopes that "Ghost Record" can bring profits within half a year.

So Jin Jingcheng continued: "Don't get me wrong. The cost of $500,000 is only $20,000 for shooting and production. I hope you can shoot this film completely using portable home DV. The scene is the house we are currently in, and the post-production editing is also completed on an ordinary home computer platform."

Twenty thousand dollars, which is 9,000 more than the shooting cost of $11,000 in the previous life. Jin Jingcheng believes that this extra money can already make "Ghost Records" more perfect on the basis of maintaining its unique features.

Oren Pelley was surprised when he heard this, but after calming down, he sat on the sofa again and said, "I know, you are probably trying to make a special product?"

Jin Jingcheng nodded in appreciation: "That's exactly what it is."

He also said: "The other 480,000 US dollars will be used for publicity and marketing."

Oren-Pelley pondered for a moment and said, "I think I understand what you mean. You hope this film can be released and released as soon as possible and enter the public's vision."

Jin Jingcheng felt more and more that Oren-Pelley was very smart. No wonder he could create miracles in his previous life.

Jin Jingcheng said: "I believe you can do a good job in publicity and marketing. Here, I just want to put forward two opinions."

Oren Pelley listened carefully, and after saying so much, he was already moved by Kim Jingcheng's steady and intelligent nature.

"The first point is to make fascinating features on the trailer, and you can boldly capture the live reactions of the first group of viewers who watched the film during the preview and broadcast them together with the film scene. In this way, the audience on the scene seemed like a group of ghost audiences under the hazy effect of the night vision camera. They were watching ghost movies, which became scary and could attract the audience to watch."

Oren Pelley couldn't help but take out a small notebook from his body and wrote down the words carefully with a pen.

"The second point is to start with the DVD first. After the production is completed, I hope you can send a picture to Mr. Steven Spielberg immediately. If he can win his praise, the release of the film will be even smoother."

Oren Pelley was surprised again, but he didn't ask any more questions. He couldn't help but be led away by Kim Jingcheng, thinking that Kim Jingcheng said this, probably because it had its potential reason.

"Is there anything else?" Oren Pelley was looking forward to Kim Jingcheng giving more opinions.

Jin Jingcheng spread his hands and smiled and said, "Sorry, it's gone."

Oren-Pelley suddenly said, "Mr. King, it's a pity that you don't become a speaker."

Jin Jingcheng smiled and said, "Is that so? Maybe one day in the future I am so poor that I have no way out, I will go into this industry."

Oren Pelley laughed, and at this moment, his heart had already burned with enthusiasm and ambition.
Chapter completed!
