Screenwriter Mystery

Look at what is displayed on the system.

Zhao Yuan finally understood why the circus leader had such a reluctant expression on his face when he handed over the stack of cards to him.

Although the level of these cards is generally not high, and there is a limit on the number of times.

However, for the head of the circus, sending out so many cards at once is also a very painful thing.

If it wasn't for Zhao Yuan's aura of being a script creator, he wouldn't have the chance to get this gift or apologize.

Sweeping over the card in his hand, Zhao Yuan's eyes stopped for a while when he saw the last card with the [Swedish Nightingale] printed on it.

In the circus performance, if he was most impressed, it was naturally the wonderful singing of this [Swedish Nightingale].

However, considering that this [Swedish Nightingale] card has a one-time usage limit, Zhao Yuan doesn't plan to use it impatiently now.

Looking at the stack of cards in his hand, a vague idea emerged in his mind.

Purely as combat power, these circus characters in their hands are obviously not outstanding.

However, if they were brought together to make a circus-related film, it would undoubtedly be a very interesting thing.

Especially as the actual audience of the entire circus performance, he personally experienced the wonderful performance of the entire circus. Finally, the singing of [Swedish Nightingale], even after he left the circus, still lingers in Zhao Yuan's heart.

To film the circus experience into a movie is an idea that Zhao Yuan came up with out of professional instinct as an ostensibly Hollywood screenwriter.

However, it is just an idea.

Not to mention, a movie, especially a movie related to the circus genre, itself is not a mainstream Hollywood movie theme, and the adaptation involved is even more mind-blowing.

And, once those characters were put into the film, he also needed to explain the origins of the circus members.

Therefore, after the idea of ​​shooting a circus movie flashed in Zhao Yuan's mind, he quickly suppressed the idea again.

At least for now, this idea is just a wild idea.

Instead of thinking about it, focus on more realistic things.

For example, the shooting of the new movie, "Smart: Ghost Recording".

...

Early February.

The Writers Guild and the Film and Television Producers Union voted on the tentative agreement.

It means that the mighty strike action led by the Hollywood Screenwriters Guild has finally ushered in its final moment.

With the end of the strike, these writers who have been away from their jobs for several months have returned to their jobs, and the TV series and talk shows that were close to a shutdown have also returned to the TV screen.

At the same time, a house was selected in the suburbs of Los Angeles, and the film "Smart: Ghost Recording" was also filmed in a low-key manner.

From a purely cinematic point of view, "Smart: Ghost Record" is a lighter movie than "Blair Witch."

The latter, during the entire shooting process, also required to walk around the forest to take some real or fake witch shots.

Then "Smart: Ghost Recording" is purely a film that takes the style of "pseudo-documentary" to the limit.

The entire shooting scene is limited to a house, and most of the plot even focuses on the bedroom bed.

If it wasn't clearly stated in Zhao Yuan's script, this is a horror movie.

Actors who come to audition think they are coming for a different type of film.

With the previous directorial experience of "Blair Witch", and "Smart: Ghost Recording" is the same type of "pseudo-documentary" movie.

Universal, without hesitation, agreed to Zhao Yuan's proposal to continue directing.

In fact, for a movie of the type "Smart: Ghost Recording", the director's role in the whole work is minimal, so instead of arguing with Zhao Yuan on the issue of the director of the movie, it is better to take this position smoothly. Give it to him in exchange for negotiating terms for the rights to a sequel to Blair Witch.

There is nothing wrong, after the global evaluation.

Although participated in the investment shooting of "Smart: Ghost Record".

But more emphasis is placed on the copyright developed for the sequel to "Blair Witch".

After all, compared to a new movie that has not undergone any market test, "Blair Witch" as a dark horse movie that has already won $250 million in its predecessor, the gap between the two can be seen at a glance.

But judging from the movie data, there is nothing wrong with Universal's decision.

However, they would not have expected that the overdraft of "Blair Witch" in word of mouth would be so serious that it could not even support the box office of the sequel.

Universal wants to buy the copyright of "Blair Witch" to shoot a sequel, so Zhao Yuan naturally won't pour cold water on them and block himself.

They are all mature film production companies that have been in Hollywood for many years. He doesn't think Universal will not know the problem of "Blair Witch".

It's just that the $250 million box office of the previous game is too dazzling, even if the sequel can't reach this level, even if only half of it is a big profit for Universal.

...

"cut!"

Los Angeles, on the set of the filming of "Spiritual: Ghost Stories."

Zhao Yuan looked at the two actors who were acting as lovers in the room and called them unnaturally. He couldn't help frowning and shouting.

Although "Smart: Ghost Recording" is a film in the form of a 'pseudo-documentary', there are not many settings for acting requirements.

But the most basic nature ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ is the crux of the documentary.

In order to conform to the natural setting in the script, just like "Blair Witch", Zhao Yuan did not invite any famous actors in the casting of the movie "Smart: Ghost Story", but deliberately chose a pair of actors who were not in reality. Famous couple actors, come to act as couples in the movie.

There is no doubt that this choice of his is very correct.

The appearance of this real couple in the DV camera conforms to the requirements of the movie.

However, when the performance came to a supernatural scene, the two were obviously unable to achieve what Zhao Yuan had in mind.

According to the original plot of "Smart: Ghost Recording", this kind of supernatural phenomenon is not outstanding.

Just rely on some limited, pretending to be mysterious shots to create a sense of terrifying supernatural.

That's because the original director of the world didn't even think about the possibility of shooting a sequel when he was shooting "Smart: Ghost Recording", and he didn't even have the idea of ​​entering the theater at first. The reason for the different endings of the line version.
