As a first-time producer, and has many experience in thrillers, the film's success is also an important attempt for her to go from the front of the stage to the backstage, yesterday, Wu Wenjia also accepted an exclusive interview with this reporter, revealing for us the front and back of the stage to shoot a thriller.

Feel different horrors from front of the stage to behind the scenes

In the interview, Wu Wenjia told reporters that the entire film was filmed for nearly a month. In the film, Wu Wenjia made a cameo appearance as a girl who loved to dance imagined after the heroine's schizophrenia, but she was actually a symbolic character. "Because this time, my focus is on the production side. I mainly attacked the production side this time, acting because it is the old line, so it is also unconditional in the movie cameo KK this role, practice dance every day, in fact, just for a day's shooting, and finally the waist is sprained, but it doesn't matter, the effect presented is good, how to pay is happy. ”

Wu Wenjia said that in the past, film and television dramas such as "Someone Under the Bed" and the web drama "Hidden Corpse Love" were simply involved as actors, and this time she turned to the backstage, so that she had a new understanding of shooting thrillers, "Before, simply playing roles, in fact, did not feel terrible, but would feel very funny, as long as they followed the script and the director's route to act, but this time they turned to the background, it was really not an easy task to shoot a high-quality thriller." "In her opinion, a good thriller is not just as simple as light scary, but more importantly, the core of the story." A lot of thrillers make a mistake, they want to be scary, in order to scare people not necessarily scary, only the audience to see it, in the story, empathy, will have an unexpected effect. ”

Being a producer for the first time left her scrambling

Talking about why a genre film was used as her first behind-the-scenes attempt to transform, Wu Wenjia admitted that as early as a year ago, when she came into contact with the script, she and several other partners began to have the idea of being the producer of the film. At that time, it was the most exuberant period of domestic thrillers, and after doing a lot of market research and comparison and big data analysis, Wu Wenjia, who was confident in the script, decided to start with several partners. "In the survey, we learned that although there are many thrillers in China at present, there are not many that the audience likes in the real sense, so there is still a lot of room for improvement." We hope to come up with a better work to show to everyone. ”

In view of the fact that many Hong Kong thrillers have been recognized in the mainland market, the film production team has also adopted a team with experience from Hong Kong, which makes Wu Wenjia have great confidence in the quality of the film. However, the whole shooting process is still difficult for Wu Wenjia, who is "testing the waters" for the first time, "because it is the first time to do the act by himself, there is no experience, and because this is a genre film, in which the special effects, stunts, flying cars, film rhythm, the atmosphere of the whole film, the use of lighting, etc. all need special attention, although this is a mature producer, it is a huge challenge for us, and even feels busy. ”

Golden Horse Film Queen joined this film Huiying Red has a strong aura

As for what kind of thriller is more recognized by the audience, Wu Wenjia bluntly said that the genre of thriller itself is very attractive to young audiences, according to surveys, the audience who loves to watch thrillers is generally between 18 and 40 years old, but she believes that the most important thing in any work is the script, under the premise of having confidence in the script, but also in the production behind the scenes. "Post-production is very important for thrillers, and if the special effects and special effects are made into 'fifty cents', they will be ruined." If you want to make quality stunts and special effects, it is not only a good light technology equipment, but also requires the director to think in advance of how to shoot in the early stage of shooting to cooperate with the post-production. The same is true for lighting art styling, including when shooting. In addition, the reason why more and more audiences like to watch thrillers is also because the pressure of young people is very large now, and the choice of genre films is to let the audience experience a tense and stimulating atmosphere, the body and mind are released, so as to decompress, "but a good thriller can not only have the elements of thriller, but also need to tell a serious story, the story is best to contain love, family affection, friendship, as well as humor and humor." ”

It is worth mentioning that in the movie "Crazy", the joining of Hui Yinghong, the film queen of the Hong Kong Golden Horse Awards, gave the audience a lot of surprises, and also benefited Wu Wenjia, who had a rival play with her in the film, "Her biggest feeling is the relaxation during performance, this state is not to say that it can be done, this requires the accumulation of time and experience, the need to cultivate, and her powerful aura is also unable to act." ”
