Chatty Hollywood

As a horror film, "Fatal Turn" is not a big production, and its reputation is very average. In fact, except for a few horror films such as "The Silence of the Lambs", most horror films have a mediocre reputation. Horror films, as a special genre, have a huge audience in North America, but the film critics do not think much about them. Never have a cold.

Although many great directors have a background in horror films, once they have achieved positive results, they seldom return to this subject. Even David Fincher, a cult film director who has been thrilling audiences for decades, is essentially closer to thriller literature and art than traditional bloody horror.

Before Charlotte crossed, as a spell house, she had read countless movies (don't think about it wrongly). Although it is not counted, she has watched many horror and thriller movies. Although for "Fatal Turns", he remembers more the revealing plots in it, but after all, it is a series that has filmed four or five parts, so he still has a lot of impressions. Because of this, he finally recognized the script left by his predecessor.

"This is indeed the plot in "Fatal Turns". Could it be said that the script of this movie was written by the predecessor? I remember not! Besides, this movie was released two thousand years later..."

He rubbed his forehead with a headache,

"However, this is not certain. The script is backlogged for several years or even more than ten years and cannot be made into a movie. It is actually a very normal thing in Hollywood. When it comes to the official shooting, the original author has already sold the script because the script has already been sold." The reason is that I didn't get the screenwriter's name at all, and it's not like I haven't had it before... The question now is, is the script that the predecessor conceived, is it "Fatal Twist" or not?"

Charlotte scrutinized the memories extracted from her predecessor's soul and compared them with her own previous memories. Although it cannot be said to be exactly the same, there are still more than half of the similarity. And considering the transition process from script to movie, this degree of similarity can already be said to be quite high.

"It seems that you have accomplished nothing all your life, Charlotte! Why don't I finish the script for you!"

On a whim, he simply took advantage of the freshness of retrieving the memories of his predecessor and directly wrote the script.

——During this time, because he kept using the soul call to extract the memory of his predecessor, he also mastered a lot of various abilities of his predecessor by the way. Although I can't say that I am familiar with writing scripts, I can still say that I have a good look. Similarly, he also has a lot of understanding of model making and scene layout in movies, of course, more is just talking on paper.

"The only thing that has been practiced and really mastered is the technique of drugging girls in wine! It's hard to learn, but is it easy to learn badly? It's embarrassing to think about it!"

Laughing at herself, Charlotte wrote the script. Just as he was writing, he suddenly discovered that what he wrote was closer to the "Fatal Turn" he had seen before crossing than the memory left by Charlotte.

"But it's okay, right? Anyway, compared to his previous idea, the plot of that movie is more mature. This can be regarded as optimization!"

He justified himself like this,

"It's just that even that "Fatal Turn", to a greater extent, won't rely on plot but blood and novelty to win! This can be regarded as one of the major differences between European and American plasma horror films and Japanese and Korean psychological horror films. feature."

——As for Chinese horror films? Horror movies where even ghosts can't appear, you'd better go to sleep!

"The "Fatal Turn" in my memory is not bad as a plasma film, but at most it is not bad. Judging from the first half of the film, the director also deliberately created a suspenseful and terrifying atmosphere. However, The result shown was a failure, not to mention that there was no feeling of psychological horror at all, and the rhythm of the first half of the film was very slow and procrastinated. For horror films that aim to stimulate people's senses, it should be said to be a failure.

And at the final climax stage, the progress of the plot became too fast. The terrifying mutant who took more than 80 minutes to create before was laid down in just four or five minutes. To put it bluntly, it was simply premature ejaculation. ! "

——The foreplay is too long, and premature ejaculation...why do you feel that the result of your evaluation is obscene?

Charlotte shook her head.

He also knew that his evaluation was actually a bit harsh. As a horror film, "Fatal Turn" is actually not bad. He thinks that the problem is serious. On the one hand, there is the problem of insufficient thickness of the script itself. On the other hand, it may be more due to the post-editing.

In Hollywood, except for a few major directors, most directors do not have the final editing rights. Taking this movie as an example, the director may have prepared a lot of shots for the transition and climax, but if the editor dismisses this during the final editing, then these shots will not be seen by the audience in the end, and it will be the same as It makes no difference to throw a wink at a blind man.

In this regard, the most extreme example is Ridley Scott's "Kingdom of Heaven". Although it cannot be said that his director's cut version is as good as it is, it can be compared to the official version edited by Fox ignoring his opinions. That being said, that would be much better.

In fact, many movies have become bad movies because of editing. But on the other hand, the poor editing has a lot to do with the director's lack of shooting skills. After all, if the shots that can convey the director's intentions are the most exciting parts of the film, then as long as the editor is not blind, he will not easily become the evil scissorhands...

"Ahhh! This is basically a question of which came first, the chicken or the egg!"

Charlotte rubbed her face vigorously, hoping to bring her thoughts that had diverged to the point of crookedness back on track.

"Leaving aside the bullshit grievances and grievances between the director and the editor, regarding the script conceived by my predecessor, which is very similar to "Fatal Turns", should I write it completely according to his intention? Or should I make another revision according to my own feelings? Or just copy "Fatal Turn" directly? Ahhh! Damn it, choose one of the three!! It would be great if you choose one of the two, I really can't think of it, I can also go to a nearby park to pick a flower and count the petals ..."

"Hey, that's not right! How could there be such a motherly plan!? Firstly, I am not in love, and secondly, I am not a damn La Traviata!!"

Charlotte wanted to put her head on the table, although it was a bit silly to be reflected in the mirror in front of her, but considering that there was no one else in the room except himself, it didn't matter. until--

"Boom!"

Because the door of Charlotte's rental apartment is relatively old, there is no doorbell at all, so every time someone visits, there is only a disturbing knock on the door.

"who!?"

It's not good for anyone to be interrupted when their minds are in a knot, and Charlotte is no exception. He pushed away the chair, stood up with a straight face, and was about to open the door, but at this moment, a clear female voice came from outside the door:

"Takeaway! Ugh, Cheesecake Factory's takeout, takeaway!!"

"I've never heard of a restaurant that lets drunks deliver food!"

Charlotte opened the door with an unkind expression, he had already heard who it was from the voice,

"Also, the Cheesecake Factory doesn't have a delivery service at all! You've been working there for so long, don't you even know this?"

Standing at the door was a smiling blonde girl, Charlize Theron. She's leaning in the doorway, wearing Cheesecake Factory overalls, holding a paper bag with what looks like food in one hand and, oh, a wine bottle in the other.

——This Nima painting style is wrong!

"Why are you drinking like this again?"

Before Charlize could speak, a choking smell of alcohol came oncoming, Charlotte slapped unconsciously, with disgust on his face,

"Didn't I tell you that old Chinese saying! Alcohol is gut-piercing poison!! Besides, Budweiser is fine, I've never heard that you can get drunk with non-alcoholic beer like Rubier!"

"Yes, yes, you are right!"

Charlize's speech was slightly slurred, she pushed Charlotte who was blocking the doorway, and staggered inside,

"Alcohol is poison that pierces the intestines, sex is a steel knife that scrapes bones, wealth is the root of trouble, and qi is a cannon of thunder and smoke!"

Perhaps thanks to Charlotte's many popularizations, although the blonde girl can't speak Chinese, the meaning is very clear.

"Stop drinking, sex and money! Van Helsing, although you can catch ghosts, you can't become an ascetic monk! Even in the Vatican, this practice is no longer popular! And—"

She raised the wine bottle in her hand,

"This is for you! I don't drink non-alcoholic beer!"

——Charlize, who was drunk, could see the tough aura of the female man at a glance.

"I prefer kvass to Rubier, a pure non-alcoholic beer."

Facing Charlize's contempt, Charlotte was not angry. He had already experienced the thorny character of the blonde girl, and knew that once she got the bonus of alcohol, she would enter a hurricane state, with a strong aura gushing out.

"Although I don't really like drinking, I'm fine with Kvass."

"Isn't it just 0.5% higher? What's the difference!?"

Charlize looked contemptuous,

"Things like kvass are a disgrace to Russia! Men should drink Vodka! Why did you say that? By the way, KUMA!!"

——It's Ulla!

Although I really want to complain, but when I think about it carefully, "KUMA" is indeed very suitable for Russian bears. What's more, the blonde girl who was born in South Africa and has no trace of Slavic blood represents Russia without authorization. What is there to complain about with "KUMA" What about?

Charlotte always felt that since she exorcised the ghosts of Charlize, the tough side of her character became more and more obvious. Is this a wrong change? Wrong turn! !
