Screenwriter Mystery

"Screenwriter Allen, I like your movies very much."

"Thank you, ma'am..."

"This is my personal phone number. If you have a new script, I'd be happy to play a role in it. Of course, I'm free even during normal times."

In the staggered party banquet, a blond woman with heavy make-up had a coquettish smile on her face, and handed the note that she had prepared in her hand to Zhao Yuan.

He let go of his palm, but his fingers twitched slightly towards Zhao Yuan's finger like a broken thread, showing a seductive expression to him, and then the woman swayed her bumpy body towards Zhao Yuan. The next target is closer to the past.

Holding a red wine glass in one hand, Zhao Yuan looked at the back of the woman leaving, lowered his head and swept the note in his hand.

He raised some eyebrows, but he didn't even have the idea of ​​opening it to take a look. He directly squeezed it into a ball and threw it into the food scraps aside.

Hollywood party gatherings are more than just places to celebrate drinking.

It is also a stage for women to seek opportunities.

In fact, many Hollywood stars are far less glamorous or inspirational than they seem at the beginning of their fame.

Therefore, Zhao Yuan showed a meaningful smile after witnessing the blond woman leaving the party with a white old man who seemed to be twice his age.

In the Vanity Fair of Hollywood, Zhao Yuan is not trying to make a name for himself, he wants to be independent.

I just know that the so-called Hollywood bigwigs who are looking good today will eventually pay the price for their reckless actions in the near future.

And he, if he doesn't want to be swept away by that future storm.

You need to be more vigilant, so as not to become a member of the future list.

At least, before he grabs enough fame and status, and even becomes a giant crocodile.

What's more, from Zhao Yuan's memory, he had no impression of the blonde woman who took the initiative to pass the note.

That is to say, the other party is destined to be the unnamed eliminator of many Hollywood fame and fortune seekers of Chinese nationality.

…

"Ellen, let me introduce you to..."

As the director of "Texas Chainsaw Massacre", Wen Ziren is undoubtedly the most dazzling one in the whole party.

However, as an 'old man' who has been in Hollywood for many years, Wen Ziren has never forgotten Zhao Yuan, the helper who gave him this halo.

"This is Ray Warner, my friend and the screenwriter of Chainsaw."

Although the story idea of ​​"Chainsaw" came from the common idea of ​​Wen Ziren and Ray Warner, the final script was completely created by Ray Warner alone, and he even played the leading role in the movie. job.

"And this is Ron Mayer, the vice president of Universal Pictures' film and television distribution department."

Following Wen Ziren's introduction, Zhao Yuan's eyes fell on a white man with glasses and silver hair.

"Mr. Allen, I like your idea for the creation and adaptation of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre."

Universal Pictures has changed hands three times in recent decades. Being able to maintain a stable position amid such complex personnel changes, Ron Mayer naturally has his own way of changing.

For Ron Mayer, Zhao Yuan in front of him may be a dispensable little character, but it does not prevent him from expressing a kind attitude.

Especially on the premise that "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" has successfully brought money to the world where it was released.

With a faint smile on his face, Ron Mayer stretched out his hand to Zhao Yuan and said with a smile.

"I wonder if you have the idea of ​​continuing to create a sequel to The Texas Chainsaw Massacre?"

Judging from the current box office trend of "Texas Chainsaw Massacre", it is destined to be a blockbuster horror movie. The only difference is how much the next box office revenue will be.

Therefore, as a qualified film producer, Ron Mayer naturally began to care about the production of the sequel to "Texas Chainsaw Massacre".

The main reason why Hollywood is so keen to shoot sequels is to reduce the investment risk of movies. Not all movies rely on very little like "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" or "The Chainsaw" filmed by Wen Ziren. capital and get huge rewards.

The reason why the counterattack is called counterattack is because such a scenario is not common, even in the history of Hollywood.

Normally, a Hollywood movie, even a moderate investment movie.

Among them, the remuneration of the filming actors occupies a large part, and once the box office is not ideal, all the investment will be wasted. Therefore, in order to ensure the success rate of the film investment, making a sequel has become a good guarantee for avoiding risks. Although many people think that the first is a classic, and it is usually difficult for a sequel to surpass the classic, many people still pay for the complex.

This is why, Lionsgate Pictures, the producer of "Saw Cry", has launched two sequels, "Saw Cry 2" and "Saw Cry 3" in succession within the next two years. In the world, the Chainsaw Horror series has even reached 7.

It can be said to be the wool that has fed the chainsaw's horror.

Even though the potential of "The Chainsaw" after the seventh film has been exhausted, it is still a sure-fire investment for filmmakers.

In fact, it is precisely because of Lionsgate's unceasingly squeezing attitude towards the theme of "Chainsaw" that Wen Ziren chose Universal Pictures instead of Lionsgate as the producer of "Texas Chainsaw Massacre". .

"Actually, I already have some ideas for the plot of the sequel..."

For the follow-up series of the "Texas Chainsaw Massacre", Zhao Yuan is naturally aware of it.

This is also the capital he uses to climb up.

"Universal Pictures is happy to continue working with you, Mr. Allen. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com"

Hearing Zhao Yuan's answer, the smile on Ron Mayer's face became even wider.

…

Mid-November.

With the gradual dissipation of the holiday bonus of the Halloween schedule, the strong box office trend of "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" has also dropped significantly.

However, because of the film of the same period, even if the box office of "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" has declined, it still performed well, and it still continued to earn about 15 million per week at the box office, while the global box office began to rise.

After more than half a month of continuous release, the potential of "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" has come to an end, and some theaters have also begun to withdraw their publicity for "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre", and are busy arranging the release of new films.

However, none of these actions can erase the topicality brought by The Texas Chainsaw Massacre.

The global box office revenue of more than 360 million has proved that "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" is the most lucrative horror movie in Hollywood in recent years.

On the eve of the release of "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" with a global block of 360 million, Universal Pictures, the film producer, announced.

The filming plan for the sequel of "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" has been put on the agenda. For the filming director of "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2", Universal still prefers the director of the previous film, Wen Ziren, and the script of the sequel will still be written by Alan Zhao, the screenwriter who created the first part of "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre", completed it.

…

In cheap apartments.

Received $200,000 for the first draft of Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2.

At this moment, Zhao Yuan was not excited at all.

All of his attention was attracted by the garbled characters on the broken panel of the system that were gradually repairing and converting.
