Chatty Hollywood

Chapter 18: WrongTurn

   As a horror film, "Fatal Turn" is not a big production, and its reputation is also very general. In fact, with the exception of a few horror films such as "The Silent Lamb", most horror films have a general reputation. As a special genre, horror films have a large audience in North America, but the film critics have I never catch a cold.

   Although many big directors are all born in horror films, once they have achieved success, they rarely return to this subject. Even the director of a cult film like David Fincher, who has been responsible for thrilling audiences for decades, is essentially closer to thriller art rather than traditional **** horror.

  Charlotte used to be a magic house before passing through, and read countless movies (don’t think about it crooked). Although it’s not a big deal, there are really many horror and thriller movies I’ve seen. Although he remembered more about the plot of the dew point in "Fatal Turn", after all, it was a series of four or five films, and there were still quite a few impressions. Because of this, he finally recognized the script left by his predecessor.

   "This is indeed the plot in "Fatal Turn". Could it be said that the script of this movie was written by the predecessor? I remember not! What's more, the release date of this movie is two thousand years later..."

   He rubbed his forehead with a headache.

"But this is not true. The script has been backlogged for several years or even more than ten years, and it has not been able to be made into a movie. It is actually a very normal thing in Hollywood. When it was officially filmed, the original author had already sold it because of the script. The reason is that I cannot get the name of the screenwriter at all, and it is not that I have never had it... The question now is, is the script conceived by the predecessor, is it "Fatal Bend"?"

   Charlotte carefully checked the memories extracted from the former soul and compared them with his previous memories. Although it cannot be said to be exactly the same, there is still a similarity of more than half. And considering the transition from script to film, this degree of similarity can already be said to be quite high.

   "It seems that your whole life is not doing nothing, Charlotte! I'll just write this script for you!"

   On a whim, he simply took advantage of the freshness of his predecessor’s memory that he had just extracted, and directly wrote the script.

  —During this period, because of constantly using the soul to extract the memories of his predecessor, he incidentally even mastered a lot of the various abilities of his predecessor. Although I can't say that I'm familiar with the script when I write the script, it still makes sense. Similarly, he has a lot of knowledge about the model making and scene layout in the movie, of course, it is more on paper.

   "The only thing that has been practiced and really mastered is the technique of drugging girls in alcohol! This is not easy to learn, but is it a shame to learn?"

   While laughing at herself, Charlotte wrote the script. Just writing and writing, he suddenly discovered that the content of the writing was closer to the "Fatal Bend" he had seen before crossing the road than the memory Charlotte left him.

   "But it's okay? Anyway, compared to his previous idea, the plot of the movie is more mature. This is also an optimization!"

  He justified himself like this,

"It's just that even the "Fatal Bend", to a greater extent, is not based on plot but on blood and curiosity to win! This can be regarded as a major difference between European and American plasma horror movies and Japanese and Korean psychological horror movies. Characteristics."

  ——As for Chinese horror films? A horror movie that can't even appear in ghosts, so go to sleep!

"The "Fatal Bend" in my memory is not bad as a plasma film, but at best it is not bad. From the first half, the director also has the intention of deliberately creating a suspenseful and terrifying atmosphere, but The result 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 a horror film that aims to stimulate the human senses, it should be said to be a failure. In the final climax stage, the plot's advancing speed became too fast. The terrifying mutant that took more than 80 minutes to shape in the front was laid in a mere four to five minutes in the back. It is a bit awkward to say, it is simply premature ejaculation!"

  ——The foreplay is too long and premature ejaculation...Why do you feel that your evaluation results are insignificant?

   Charlotte shook his head.

   He also knows that his evaluation is actually a bit harsh. As a horror film, "Fatal Turn" is actually quite good. He thinks that the serious problem is that on the one hand, there is the problem of insufficient thickness of the script itself, on the other hand, I am afraid that it is more the reason for the later editing.

  In Hollywood, except for some major directors, general directors do not have the final editing rights. Take this movie as an example. The director may have prepared a lot of shots for the transition and climax, but if the editor dismisses it when the final editing is made, then these shots will eventually be invisible to the audience. It doesn't make any difference to wink to the blind man.

In this regard, the most extreme example is Ridley Scott’s "Kings of Heaven". Although it cannot be said that his director's cut version is as good, it can be compared to the official version of Fox who ignored his opinions and edited it. That said, it's so much better.

   In fact, many movies are reduced to bad movies, all related to editing. But conversely, poor editing is also related to the director's insufficient shooting level. After all, if the shots that can convey the director's intentions are the most exciting parts of the film, as long as the editor is not blind, he will not easily be the evil scissors...

   "Ahhhhhhhhh! This is basically the question of whether there is a chicken or an egg first!"

   Charlotte rubbed her face vigorously, hoping to bring the thoughts that had spread to the level of crooked buildings back on track.

"Regardless of the director and the editor's **** and hatred, regarding the predecessor's idea of ​​this script that is very similar to "Fatal Turn", did I completely follow his intention to write it? Or do I make another revision based on my own feelings? Or just copy "Deadly Bend"? Ahhhhhhhhh! One of the **** three!! If you choose one of the two, I can't think of it. I can also go to the nearby park to pick a flower and count the petals. ..."

   "Hey, that's not right! How could there be such a **** plan!? I'm not in love, and I'm not a **** La Traviata!!"

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

   "咚咚!"

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

"Who!?"

  Anyone who is disturbed when his mind is knotted will not have a good attitude, and Charlotte is no exception. He pushed aside the chair, stood up lawfully, ready to open the door, and at this time, there was also a clear female voice outside the door:

   "Takeaway! Ouch, outside of CheesecakeFactory, takeaway!!"

   "I have never heard of a restaurant that allows drunks to deliver food!"

   Charlotte opened the door with a ugly look, he had already heard from the voice who came,

   "Also, CheesecakeFactory has no takeaway service at all! You have been working there for so long, don't you even know this?"

   Standing at the door was a beautifully smiling blond girl, Charlize Theron. She was leaning at the door, wearing the overalls of the CheesecakeFactory restaurant, holding a paper bag in one hand, which seemed to contain food, and carrying, oh, a wine bottle in the other hand.

  ——This Nima style is wrong!

   "Why are you drinking like this again?"

   Without waiting for Charlize to speak, a choking scent of alcohol came oncoming, Charlotte unconsciously slapped it with a look of disgust.

   "Isn't it the old Chinese saying that I told you! Alcohol is a poison in the intestines!! Moreover, Budweiser, forget it, I have never heard that drinking a non-alcoholic beer like Rubier can get drunk!"

   "Yes, yes, what you said, you are right!"

   Charlize’s speech was a little unclear, she pushed Charlotte away blocking the door and staggered in.

   "Wine is a poison that penetrates the intestines, and the color is a scraping steel knife~www.readwn.com~ Money is the root of trouble, and gas is thunder, smoke and artillery!"

   may be due to Charlotte’s many popularizations. Although these few Chinese blonde girls don’t know how to say, but the meaning is very clear.

   "I have quit drinking and wealth! Fan Haixin, although you can catch ghosts, you can't be an ascetic monk! Now even in the Vatican, this set is no longer popular! And—"

   She raised the bottle in her hand,

   "This is for you! I don't drink non-alcoholic beer like a girly thing!"

  ——Charlize after being drunk, the sturdy breath of the female man is unobstructed.

   "I prefer Kvass to pure non-alcoholic beer like Rubier."

   Faced with Charlize's contempt, Charlotte is not angry. He had already experienced the blond girl's thorny character, and knew that once she got the bonus of alcohol, she would enter a state of madness, and her sturdy air would gush out.

   "Although I don't like drinking very much, I still have no problem with Kvass' level."

   "Don't it be 0.5% higher? What's the difference!?"

   Charlize looked contemptuous,

   "Kvass is a disgrace to Russia! It is a man who should drink Vodka! Why did you call that sentence? By the way, KUMA!!"

  ——It's Ula!

Although I want to make complaints, I think about it, "KUMA" is indeed very suitable for Russian bears. What's more, blonde girls from South Africa who have no Slavic descent can represent Russia without authorization. What is the point of "KUMA" What about?

   Charlotte always feels that since she exorcised Charlize, the sturdy side of her character has become more apparent. Is this a wrong turn? Wrongturn! !
