Hollywood legendary director

Chapter 460 The new version of "Dead Silence" (seeking subscription, tickets)

After being denied the script again, Wen Ziren heard that there was still room for a turnaround in the project, and immediately cheered up and waited for Lehman to tell him how to write the story.

"In horror genres, there are many ways to shape the source of horror, but the most recognized by the audience is nothing more than concreteization and intentionalization. The former’s representative works include "Small Island Cry", Japanese version "Midnight Bell", Japanese version "Curse" Resentment, the latter’s masterpieces are "Ghost", "The Wind and Wind", even "Blair the Witch" is counted... and your idea of ​​this movie is concrete, and the ghost will have a positive shot .

Therefore, the role of the ghost itself seems to be more important.That being the case, its previous life has been wronged, and revenge with hatred and death will be more in line with the audience's psychological point of view."

"Isn't my kind of setting OK?"

"Neither the gods of the West nor the immortal saints of the East will respect this argument. By the way, do you believe in fatalism?"

"No." After hesitating, Wen Ziren replied honestly.

Lehman shook his head lightly, "But this is a certain social attribute. For example, little girls should like dolls and beautiful clothes. Boys will like toy guns and toy racing. Annoying toys. This is an imposed and severely biased characteristic given by society. If you were to buy toys for a friend's daughter, what would you buy?"

"I don't know. Maybe it's Barbie."

"You see, this is a perennial and socially subjective choice. Is there any rule that girls can't like toy guns? No. But more people will hope that they like dolls. Now, you should understand."

"From the standpoint of the public?"

"It's not absolute, but entertainment creation should not be too deviant, especially when our director still needs box office performance to support his personal career."

In fact, the role of Mary Shaw is like a bitch lotus flower, or the kind of bitch that is so disgusting that the public is disgusted, and its severity is comparable to that of NTR in the net article.

"How can I change it?"

“The identity of the ventriloquism performer is well set, and the rural nursery rhymes that don’t scream are also very compatible, but she can set a good person, a little neurotic, and it’s best to be misunderstood by the town residents for some reason Death. The evil spirits who hate too much will entangle these murderers until the next generation will retaliate."

"Some reason? The pedophile was misunderstood?"

Lehman encouraged: "A good entry point. A ventriloquism performer, because he often deals with puppets, has never married or started a family, but he likes children unusually."

"In this way, boys are better." After Wen Ziren's thoughts were opened, his ideas gradually became clear. "Mary Xiao lives in a small town and lives by performing ventriloquism in theaters. Because she likes children, she often invites The children went to play at her house, but one day, after a boy returned home from Mary Shaw, he suddenly told his parents that someone had hurt him..."

"Rumors arose in the town, and everyone began to doubt Mary Shaw’s motives for inviting the children to play in her house. Neighbourhoods and chatting with each other, the matter became more and more serious, so that everyone looked at Mary Shaw with colored glasses. Outsiders...Until one day, a drunk parent could no longer control her, picked up a shotgun and killed Mary Shaw... A week later, this person was found drowning in the bathtub. Inside, the wife and children also jumped down from the upper floor and fell into meatloaf...The town began to fall into ruin, and some people left here one after another, but Mary Xiao’s grudge did not disappear, instead Completed the nursery rhyme: Don’t scream when you see the doll..."

"This setting may be better." Wen Ziren was extremely satisfied.

After the re-portrait of Mary Shaw's character, it inexplicably intensified the extension of the sense of fear, and also made the first half of the story be polished.

It also feels that there is a kind of inexplicable plot development of "Mountain Village Old Corpse" plus "Deer Hunter".

Zizi, beautiful people, such a shadow of childhood!

With such a choreography, Mary Shaw is also expected to become the American version of Chu Renmei, the kind of existence that makes all viewers intent after seeing it, the kind that will be dreamed by dreams at night.

After all, in the United States, the problem of children is far more substituting than cheating and derailing, NTR, and the people are more willing to accept this kind of cause of great resentment after the death of the misunderstood.

You know, with that kind of international status, Michael Jackson was still defeated by a specious pedophile.

This once again confirms a truth that has not changed from the past to the past: spread rumors with a mouth, dispel rumors and run off their legs.

And it often doesn't work anyway.

Okay, I don't know how many social issues are involved in this plot, it's very topical and conflicts with the drama.

I believe that when the film is made, at least it will not be spit out by American audiences like in previous lives.

Wen Ziren clearly understood that the script had risen to a certain height, and his face was a little excited.

This is the death issue of another villain, it is clearly the intention of raising the script.

As a director, he still has a perspective on issues.

"Ha, wonderful, ha, interesting." The more Wen Ziren thought about it, the more he felt the desire to shoot. He muttered, almost forgetting that there was a person standing next to him.

Seeing his appearance, Lehman patted him on the shoulder, wanting to say something, and finally he said: "Remember the social characteristics I just said, and write another version of the script. Once it is finished, I will invest in the project. "

"Ah, good. I'll write the script with Ray Warner when I go back."

This promise is the best comfort, and makes Wen Ziren's somewhat disappointed mood instantly return.He hurriedly nodded to Lehman, turned and left the office with the script.

Wen Ziren once used his extraordinary talent for horror to create a personal "conspiracy" film universe. There is no need to question his ability to direct, but in the same way, genius also needs to grow, such as the original "Dead Silence" filming without considering the market prospect , The movie is doomed to fail.

It is also because this guy concentrates all his energy on how to use the lens to build a horrible atmosphere, instead of ignoring the control of the film's plot integrity and rhythm.

He is like a truck driver who is very good at simplicity, and the cargo load always takes precedence over driving comfort.

But once you get used to this, there will inevitably be some minor problems.

Of course, there is another situation that may have something to do with his first entry into the director's circle. Wen Ziren likes to control the shooting cost.

Even if he is rich, he is more willing to shoot low-cost movies.The degree of concern for funds always focuses on cost performance, which is quite different from Nolan's attitude towards film works.

He is good at calculation, but that doesn't mean he is not good at hand.

Even because of the best style of real shooting, shooting costs are difficult to reduce.
