Chatty Hollywood

　　 "This is a terrible script!"

　　 The old gun looked at it roughly and came to his own conclusion. He looked at Charlotte in surprise, as if wondering why he was interested in such garbage stories.

　　 "The story is really bad!"

　　Charlotte nodded, not hurriedly or slowly.

　　 In the original history, the movie "Blair the Witch" became famous, to a large extent thanks to the blessing of Internet marketing.

　　 The audience at that time was still too young. Just because of some forged rumors on the Internet, they could easily believe that this tattered fake documentary was a real event.

　　 And the degree of people's concern for real events is completely different from a simple movie.

　　 At this point, the marketing method of "Blair the Witch" is similar to that of Charlotte and the others, through a series of cases in the Vianes Valley, to hype "Fatal Bend".

　　-Of course, the Internet penetration in North America is far less than it was in 1999.

　　 In 1994, less than a year after the "Information Superhighway" project was launched, I wanted to play Internet viral marketing. That was a bit too much.

　　 If this point is eliminated, "Blair the Witch" is nothing more than a badly filmed pseudo-documentary.

So, when Charlotte took over the script from the freshman named Daniel Merrick in USC, at first his idea was to politely say a few words first, and then change hands and throw the script away as soon as the other party leaves. In the trash can.

　　——After all, even if you give you a computer, if you throw you away before the first year of the year, you probably won’t be able to do much.

　　 At that time, there was no electricity.

　　 However, the next moment, Charlotte, who was a magic rookie, stopped the director Charlotte——

　　 "Maybe I can take the opportunity to try it!"

　　 In fact, since the release of "Fatal Bend", Charlotte has always had a strange feeling—he seems to be practicing faster.

　　 This is not an illusion or some psychological factor, Alexis is the best example——

　　 In the past, although there was a contract, it took Charlotte to influence Alexis after all.

　　 But now, as long as he wants, he can temporarily shield Alexis from Charlize's consciousness at any time.

　　——Well, this is mainly for some specific moments, after all, everyone needs privacy.

　　 However, this does prove that Charlotte's mana has indeed improved a lot. He felt that this might not only be the result of swallowing Wei Changhui's remaining power.

　　 "Did you get the power of fear in the hearts of the audience because you directed "Fatal Turn"?"

　　 In the spell system that Charlotte mastered, power is largely derived from the human heart, so he could not help but produce this speculation.

　　 But there is still a big loophole in this speculation——

　　 For ghosts that use people’s fear as their energy, it’s normal to be strengthened by fear.

　　 But Charlotte is human.

　　People don’t need and cannot obtain mana from the fear of others, otherwise Hitler would have become the true demon king...

　　This kind of contradictory speculation annoys Charlotte. From the perspective of a spell lover, how could he not care about things that can increase the speed of cultivation?

　　 "Maybe we need to make another movie to discover the reason."

　　 In desperation, he started to practice the idea of ​​real knowledge.

　　 However, this is not easy. Under normal circumstances, it takes eight to ten months to complete a new movie quickly.

　　 Charlotte didn't want to wait that long.

　　 "Maybe you can try this pseudo-documentary mode!"

　　 This is why he finally left the script of "Blair the Witch".

　　This kind of pseudo-documentary film, the biggest advantage is the low shooting cost and fast shooting speed. Many of them were taken directly with home cameras.

　　"If you use this model, you might be able to shoot a miniature horror movie during the preparation of "Happy Death".

　　 Charlotte thought to herself.

　　 Before he could express his thoughts, Lao Qiang made a clear-cut objection.

　　 "Charlotte, I don't know why you are interested in this script, but if it is not necessary, I think you better not shoot this script yourself!"

　　——The other party also deliberately accented the word "in person".

　　 This makes Charlotte also have to pay attention.

"why?"

　　 "Because you are now a rising star in the director world."

　　 The tone of the old gun is a bit trance,

　　 "Your career at this time cannot withstand failure or even doubt."

　　Speaking of this, he paused,

　　 "Do you remember what Roger Albert said?"

"this……"

The famous film critic, Roger Albert, who Charlize nicknamed the "Thumbman", only released a comment on this horror film on the fourth day of the release of "Fatal Bend", which was later than the comments of many film critics. .

In the comments, this conservative old man praised the new application of visual persistence technology in "Fatal Bend" in a very interesting tone, and at the same time admitted that even without this gimmick, "Fatal Bend" "It will still be a good horror movie.

　　 However, to the film’s director Charlotte Booth, the old man’s tone became severe--

"Mr. Booth did a good job this time. It deserves a thumbs up. But I want to remind him to get rid of that funny little trick. He did not show amazing talent and ability in film directing this time. "Fatal There are certain problems with the story rhythm of "Turn Road"."

"If he wants to be a master of propaganda, then undoubtedly, he is walking on a big road to success; but if he wants to go further on the road of directors, then he should let go of these gimmicks, and the next time is really true. Right, shoot a movie down-to-earth."

"I look forward to it!"

　　 "Is this old man afraid of me going on a crooked road?"

　　 When I saw this film review, Charlotte had made such a joke with the old gun. At that time, the two laughed loudly.

　　 But at this time, when I mentioned this film review, Old Gun's face became serious.

"What the old man Albert said may only be habitually alarmist by film critics, but it also represents an old-school view in Hollywood-that a successful film does not allow its director to sit back and relax, especially in this success. A lot of marketing ingredients."

"Yes!"

　　Charlotte nodded, he kind of understood the meaning of the old gun.

"The old man must have seen that we used the Viamers Valley series of cases to hype up the movie-and most of the people in the industry should be able to see-that's why he gave such a severe warning. And the old gun, you I think he is right, I should focus more on the movie, right?"

　　 "I don't think you are not focusing on movies."

　　 The old gun shook his head. He grabbed his red beard in distress and organized his language before continuing:

"I just think that the script of "Blair the Witch" is too bad, and it is not suitable for a director who has a lot of room for improvement like you. It is more suitable, um, as the LEGO bricks in the hands of those producers, you can Let them combine at will."

　　 "Is the director still a producer?"

　　 Charlotte muttered to herself.

　　 He already fully understands the meaning of the old gun.

　　 Indeed, many famous directors often serve as producers of their own films at the same time. But this does not mean that the functions of the two are very similar. Producers, more often, have to consider issues from the commercial point of view of cost and profitability, and the methods used are even more versatile.

　　 The director is much more introverted by comparison. This is more of an internal and internal work. The most important thing for a good director is to always make a good movie.

　　——Do you want to be a profitable producer, or do you want to be a great director?

　　 Although it was not stated explicitly, the old gun's words did imply such a meaning.

　　 This made Charlotte couldn't help thinking.

　　 He has no clear idea about whether he prefers to be a director or a producer~www.readwn.com~. But for the movie "Blair the Witch", he is not without a tendency--

　　 Although Internet marketing is not possible now, Charlotte still has a way to hype "Blair the Witch". However, does he really want to make this movie himself?

　　 If he doesn't consider making money or experimenting with spells, then his heart is indeed rejected.

　　-otherwise he wouldn't want to throw this script directly into the trash can.

　　 Charlotte doesn't like the film mode of pseudo-documentary. He didn't like it either before or after the crossing.

　　 In his opinion, this kind of film that constantly tortures the audience's visual nerves through inferior jittery images can be called a movie, but it can never be said to be art, and sometimes it is not even a story.

　　 Of course, this may just be his prejudice.

　　 After all, when watching "Saving Private Ryan" before crossing, he also watched the imitation documentary scene that Spielberg imitated. The shaking was also severe, but he had no discomfort.

　　 can only say that he does not like such pseudo-documentary films.

　　 "Forget it, let's put the script of "Blair the Witch" on hold!"

　　 Charlotte shrugged and agreed with the old gun.

　　 "Let’s focus on the script of "Happy Death Day" now!"

"OK!"

　　 The old gun is relieved.

　　 Before they could continue their previous work, a phone call interrupted the silence in the studio again.

　　 "Westwood?"

　　 Charlotte picked up the phone,

"What's matter?"

　　 There was an anxious voice from Mr. Producer on the other side of the phone.

　　 "Charlotte, something happened to Judy Foster!!!"
