MTL - After Buying Marvel, I Became the King of Hollywood-Chapter 266
Wen Ziren is the same.
For the current horror films in the United States, it is more accurate to call it a plasma film than a horror film.
Among these films, plasma is the most used movie prop.
Of course, it's actually ketchup.
After all, most horror movies are small investments, and it is impossible to make such realistic effects in terms of props. It is good to have ketchup.
Wen Ziren has always looked down on this kind of horror movie.
On the contrary, the horror movie in his heart actually tends to be more Asian horror movie.
He especially likes Japanese horror movies.
And Kevin suggested that he look for inspiration from Japanese horror movies, which was exactly what he wanted.
After thousands of choices, he finally chose a suitable subject.
According to the core of the film, the American version was shot.
As for copyright, to be honest, it's like the relationship between Red Dead Redemption and Takeshi Kitano's stick.
The influence of Japanese culture in this era is still very strong.
Many Hollywood movies have a bit of a mellow routine.
The so-called "melting stalk" is a statement in the novel world, which means that part of the core of the plot is applied, but it is not completely plagiarized.
Learn from, just learn from.
Can we say plagiarism when it comes to cultural people?
As soon as he entered the office, Kevin revealed a decadent scene.
The whole person sat directly on the sofa in a very relaxed posture, no longer looking like a boss.
Of course, referring to the external image.
All kinds of evil spirits and madness of President Ba are not Kevin's food.
Seeing this scene, Wen Ziren also smiled.
This series of actions by Kevin meant that he regarded Wen Ziren as his own, which touched Wen Ziren's heart somewhat.
Whether it is intentional or unintentional.
In a word, Kevin has given enough things in all aspects to these contracted directors of Chenxi Films.
Opportunity, money, respect, everything you need.
This kind of respect also brings these directors' belief in him.
Just like Wen Ziren, now he has gradually become less restrained in front of him and can relax.
Show your true self to Kevin.
"Is the movie ready?"
Kevin leaned on the sofa and asked lazily.
Wen Ziren nodded, pointed to the master tape placed on the table in the middle, and said slowly:
"Yes, it's already edited, I'll let you see how the quality is."
Having said that, Kevin could hear his confidence in Wen Ziren's tone.
Of course, Kevin, who knows that Wen Ziren is a talented director, will not be angry because of his tone.
The confidence of a genius is confidence, and Kevin likes it.
This means that he has a lot of confidence in the quality of the film, rather than no-brainer confidence.
For genius, Kevin is so forgiving.
"Show it."
Kevin nodded and ordered.
Kevin's office naturally has all the functions it should have.
Not to mention the rest, as a film company, a home theater equipment for watching movies is naturally readily available.
Hearing Kevin's instructions, Wen Ziren picked up the master tape and started working on the projector beside him.
At present, it has only reached the level of editing, and the opening and ending of the music have not yet been completed, and it still needs time to improve.
But the music is the icing on the cake, and the film itself is the core.
Movies that have never been supported by music.
It is impossible for this small production horror film of millions of dollars to invite any music master to make a suitable soundtrack. Generally, it uses some music that has passed the copyright protection period in the music copyright library of Hollywood.
The advantage is that you either don't pay, or you pay a little, and the quality is okay.
The disadvantage is that it lacks exclusivity and will make less money.
You must know that the soundtrack collection of the movie is also profitable under the explosion of the movie.
A movie, all aspects of the profit, Hollywood makes good use of it.
There is almost no place left out.
Soon the movie will start showing.
After closing the light-blocking curtains, this office is like a small movie theater, except that only Kevin and Wen Ziren are in the audience.
The screen began to play, and Kevin also began to watch horror movies from the perspective of the audience.
From the heart, in fact, Kevin himself does not like horror movies very much.
You must know that director is a profession with rich associations. After watching a movie, it is easy to have many associations.
It's normal to be scared of yourself.
To avoid this sort of thing, Kevin rarely watches horror movies.
Of course, I'm talking about Japanese horror movies.
As for American horror movies, they rely more on all kinds of terrifying shapes to scare people, such as zombies with only half of their heads left.
A monster with a broken hand, broken foot, or broken body.
This kind of horror movie, to be honest, Kevin only felt nauseated, caused physical discomfort, etc., but it was not scary at all.
It is no exaggeration to say that in his previous life, Kevin watched American horror films, and he often watched them as eighteen themes.
No way, American horror movies usually have some large-scale shots.
This is the usual practice in Hollywood.
The reason is simple.
The theme of horror movies has always been eighteen themes, of course, this eighteen is not the other eighteen.
Chapter 389 The Preliminary Vision of the Horror Movie Universe
It wasn't meant to be seen by children.
At the same time, this kind of horror film can sometimes stimulate the hormones of young people.
In addition, many of the people who watch this kind of movie are actually couples.
After looking for excitement, the second half ended with an open room.
As a result, there are more and more of these add-on lenses.
This has gradually formed the characteristics of American horror films.
Large-scale shots attract the attention of young men and women looking for excitement.
Basically, it is standard for small investment horror movies in Hollywood.
As for the horror scene, to Kevin, it is completely trivial.
It's just that large-scale lens.
On the contrary, Japanese horror films can really cause psychological shadows.
Forget American horror films after reading them, and Kevin has an impression of Japanese horror films now.
Of course, it's still the same sentence, it doesn't mean that the box office is high.
A pure Japanese horror film will be too scary in the United States, which will affect the box office, which requires Wen Ziren's efforts.
Adjusting the strengths and weaknesses of both sides to shoot Japanese horror films suitable for Americans to watch, this is his ability.
The plot of a horror movie doesn't have much to say, the back and forth are those routines.
In order to enhance the sense of substitution, under the reminder of Kevin, the template of Japanese horror films was borrowed, that is, some local horror legends.
Japan has a series of terrifying urban legends such as the woman with a gaping mouth.
There are also urban horror legends in the United States. Among these legends, after a series of careful selections, Wen Ziren finally chose the theme of the clown.
The story of the clown of the sewer.
It is similar to the clown returning to the soul, but compared with this kind of monster that can be defeated, it is in the shaping of Wen Ziren.
Monsters are invincible.
Kevin had already mentioned the monster universe with Wen Ziren, and the two hit it off.
Wen Ziren also knows the benefits of the movie universe for him as a director. If nothing else, he can enjoy making horror movies.
You don't have to worry about your lack of filming at all.
Kevin has said that as long as the first movie is a success, he will be the master of the subsequent horror movie universe, including the subsequent profit sharing, whether it is fame, status or money, everything should be there.
Kevin's promise kept him motivated.
The time for watching movies always flies by quickly.
The content of the movie The Clown is actually very simple. It is the story of a mysterious clown in a small town in the United States fabricated by Wen Ziren that does not exist in reality.
As for the background setting of the story of the clown, in Kevin's words, it is like the sand monk in Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons.
A good man was killed by people in the town as a criminal because of a misunderstanding, and the good man was wronged and turned into an evil spirit. This is a very classic routine.
Ten years later, the soul of a good man turns into a clown with an immortal body to take revenge.
The protagonist of the entire film, there is only one person, the clown.
A cruel, terrifying, undead clown.
It will kill everyone in this area who has done something against the taboo.
As for this setting, Kevin definitely does not admit that he is based on ideas in some online novels in his previous life, and after communicating with Wen Ziren, he negotiated the result together.
In short, the clown will kill everyone who meets certain conditions in this area.
As for this condition, after the film, it was not fully revealed, but some ambiguous settings were made, leaving more room for the audience to discuss.
To put it bluntly, this whole movie is to create the image of a terrifying clown monster.
An immortal monster, according to certain fixed killing rules, an undead monster.
In the end, the protagonist and his party use the monster's killing rules to temporarily stay safe, but everyone knows that this cannot completely escape the monster's pursuit.
They must find a way to completely eliminate the monster.
But this is the second, or third, problem to be solved.
If the film has achieved more than 10 million US dollars, then 100% of the sequel will continue to be made. If not, then it will naturally come to an end.
Moving on to other horror films that could be the start of the horror universe.
"good!"
After watching the movie, Kevin gave his own conclusions.
Whether the audience will buy it or not, even Kevin can't predict it 100%.
But what is certain is that this horror film, The Joker, is a qualified horror film.
