Screenwriter Mystery

"Mihui, open the door."

Standing at the door, Mrs. Fujita knocked on the side and called out to her daughter, Mie, in the room.

"..."

However, there was no response in the room facing the knock on the door.

Seeing this, Mrs. Fujita showed an apologetic smile to Dr. Kobayashi beside her, and then tapped again.

"Meihui, please open the door. I have invited a doctor to treat your problems."

"..."

"...It's useless, Mom..."

This time, after hearing Mrs. Fujita's words, Mie who was in the room finally had a reaction.

From the room, there was a slightly dull voice, and if you listened carefully, you could faintly hear the rustling of something crawling inside.

"This is revenge, Kojima's revenge for me, because I cut the red thread of fate, so it entangled me."

"What are you talking about, Mimi."

Outside the door, Mrs. Fujita obviously didn't believe what Mie said, and regarded it as her daughter's nonsense.

"Please get out of the way, ma'am."

On the other hand, after hearing Mihui's words, the expression on Dr. Kobayashi's face changed slightly.

"Next, in order to get your daughter out, I need to use some urgent means."

He opened his mouth to remind Mrs. Fujita, and then turned sideways and slammed into the closed door.

With a few consecutive hits, the closed door was slammed open.

"Mihui, what is this..."

However, what happened in the room made Mrs. Fujita, who was at the door, slumped to the ground.

I saw that in Meihui's room, a large number of red threads were squirming and occupying most of the room, and Meihui's entire body on the bed was wrapped in red threads, only a face covered with red threads was exposed, which just came out of the room. The sound comes from the beauty in this red line.

Facing the strange scene in front of her, Mrs. Fujita received a huge shock.

The expression on Dr. Kobayashi's face was extremely excited.

"Finally, I found you again..."

Dr. Kobayashi murmured as he stretched out his finger at the dense red line occupying the room in front of him.

Because of Keiko's relationship, the military base where Kojima is located is blocked and cannot be entered.

This made Dr. Kobayashi's research on red lines completely cut off. After seeing the mystery of the existence of red lines, Kobayashi was naturally reluctant to give up experiments related to it so easily.

Unwilling, he began to investigate Kojima's life and finally found the other end of the red line at Fujita's house.

Slavishly built on the template of the classic original, it turned out to be a dull regression with no new inventions, and although the cast has expanded this time, the basic rhythm has remained the same - "The Hollywood Reporter"

This belated official sequel is only technically updated, and the rest just repeat the original horror, but louder and more boring - "Rolling Stone"

Running and screaming may be an essential element of a horror movie, but it should be understood in "Blair Witch 2: Book of Shadows" - they are not afraid at all, they can only run and scream to make a splash- The New York Post

The evolutionary script, and its impact on the real world, constantly promotes the rise of the system [world evolution rate].

On the other hand, the media reputation of the movie "Blair Witch 2: The Book of Shadows" was lifted, and major newspapers did not evaluate the movie well.

Although, among them, the "Chicago Sun" gave a positive review to the film, saying that the reversal in the film was unexpected.

However, according to Zhao Yuan's information from Universal.

Most of the media that gave positive or neutral comments have been greeted by Universal in advance.

That is to say, if you leave aside the media that cares about it, the true evaluation of "Blair Witch 2: Book of Shadows" is obviously not very optimistic.

From these evaluations, Universal seems to smell some problems.

It's just that the copyright has been bought, the shooting has been completed, and a lot of money has been invested in the early publicity.

Therefore, even if Universal's heart is not good, it can only bite the bullet and release the movie.

Murphy's Law is often just that accurate.

Over the weekend, with the release of "Blair Witch 2: Book of Shadows," the highly anticipated sequel to the Globe, which cost far more to make than the first episode and added horrific computer effects, failed at the box office. Gave Universal a big slap in the face.

Originally, before the release of the film, Universal had optimistically guessed that the sequel of "Blair Witch" would be expected to make a $25 million hit at the opening weekend, but it turned out to be only $13.1 million at the box office, which was not the same as Universal's forecast. The estimates are very different, and the characteristics of pseudo-recorded movies mean that the box office of this type of movies will be lower and lower in the future.

That said, taking into account the cost of filming, copyright, and publicity, "Blair Witch: Book of Shadows" is destined to be a money-losing movie.

Moreover, this kind of loss is not a loss on the books of "Harry Potter", but a real loss of money.

As a result of this, it is natural that Universal, who was full of expectations, was directly poured a basin of cold water.

The day after the box office came out, an emergency meeting was held within Universal.

As the leader of this sequel, Ron Mayer was directly scolded.

A few days ago, he was full of confidence in the film's box office performance.

"I think the biggest reason for ~www.readwn.com~ Blair Witch 2: Book of Shadows' failure at the box office is the choice of director and screenwriter..."

In order to get rid of the unfavorable influence of the movie box office, Ron Mayer naturally needs to find a reason.

When a movie fails, the director and the screenwriter are often the best candidates to shed blame. After all, you made the movie, and you wrote the plot. If the box office is bad, whoever you are looking for will be yours.

"If we had been firm and invited Zhao Lai to be the director of the sequel, instead of just buying the copyright, then maybe "Blair Witch 2: Book of Shadows" won't be as successful at the box office as it is now."

In fact, in terms of the word-of-mouth problem of "Blair Witch", even if Zhao Yuan takes over, unless he uses power other than the movie, otherwise, as far as the movie itself is concerned, whoever comes is the same.

At this point, Ron Mayer may have seen the problem with hindsight. At first, Zhao Yuan was resolutely only willing to sell the copyright of the film sequel, and was unwilling to take over the filming of the sequel.

However, it is impossible for him to admit these, so he can only work hard to unload the pot.

At the very least, you can't let the main responsibility for the box office failure fall on yourself.
