Chapter 460： Wen Ziren's new horror film

Late at night, Beverly Hills is near a mansion on the right.

All the rooms were pitch-dark, only the main bedroom on the second floor on the east side reflected a pale yellow light.

In the room, Wen Ziren was sitting on the soft sofa in light blue pajamas, rubbing his forehead with both hands, and there were faint sweat stains on his face.

He restrained his head and let it go, but it was still extremely uncomfortable.

Over the years, he often thinks about some messy things in his sleep, and those grotesque and depressing dreams often put him under such enormous mental pressure.

Wen Ziren didn't show his usual calmness at all, his eyebrows were huddled together, and the muscles on his face seemed to be involved in showing an ugly smile. He narrowed his eyes slightly, but said happily, "I think I have a new idea."

On the side, Ray Warner was also there.

Their rooms are very close.

"You should see a psychiatrist. Really." Ray Warner suggested sincerely.

He said this when they were in college together.

"It's not that I didn't read it. I don't quite agree with what those people said."

Well, the stressful psychological trauma caused by witnessing death too early in childhood.

This is also the reason why Wen Ziren often has strange dreams.

"Forget it, let's not talk about this, you just asked me to come over and talk about the script for the new work. What do you want to do next?"

"Of course it's a horror movie."

"What about the story?"

"I think, if we want to make a horror movie, we have to scare ourselves first, so those scenes that even we are afraid of can be added to the main line of the story."

"Scared yourself?"

"I can't even watch it myself, so why are the audience frightened?" Wen Ziren asked rhetorically.

"Okay, but what about the characters? How do you design the characters?"

"Well... do you think the audience will be afraid of plots like ghost killing?"

"This is what you just dreamed about?" Ray Warner sighed: "You always do this every time. What you think in your dreams always likes to be recorded in the script."

"Isn't that bad? Those chaotic dreams are also the source of my creative inspiration."

Ray Warner lowered his head, waited for a while, and then gently suggested: "You should still listen to the psychiatrist more, avoid anxiety on weekdays, meditate, and exercise a lot. We can already take pictures. Going to the movies, you still work so hard."

Perhaps, it is because of daydreaming, thinking about the script, and going back at night to have nightmares.

Wen Ziren said impatiently, "Could there be someone who never dreams?"

"But no one has nightmares all the time."

"Okay, I forgot the business after talking. I asked you to come over to discuss how to write a new script. We should focus on this."

"You can talk about your own thoughts." Ray Warner had to follow Wen Ziren's meaning: "Let's straighten out the context of the story first."

......

......

Yesterday, "Million Dollar Baby" received about 80% of the attendance in more than a dozen theaters.

This shows that the successful shaping of the film's reputation has achieved certain results, and Warner's plan is also unfolding step by step.

So, when Lehman woke up, he saw the news in the newspaper he ordered.

At the beginning of the report, I talked about the achievements of the work in Cannes, and then I started to talk about the film has entered the North American theater chain, but only a small number of theaters have screenings, and tickets are difficult to buy.

What's more interesting is that the content also includes the internal screening data of various theaters and real-time interview evaluation of movie viewing, as if to highlight the point of view of the article - "Million Dollar Baby" has been unanimously affirmed by many movie fans.

Lehmann read the newspaper while eating breakfast, and felt that there were too many things on it, and it really deserved to be a "beacon of the democratic world".

The masses can only see what they can see.

And this method of touting with data is not the first of Warner. When Paramount was not defeated by the anti-monopoly law, they were the masters of it.

However, although the source of the article is very questionable, the data listed above is not exaggerated.

"Million Dollar Baby" has been online for almost five days, and the average attendance rate has not dropped below half.

In addition to Warner's push behind it, this work's road to the Olympics is quite smooth.

Many film critics in the industry are shouting for it, and various Film Critics Association awards have been won almost every time.

Later, Lehmann went to the company again.

In addition to the "Prison Break" that is still on the air, which is approaching the end of the first season, and the production of "The Walking Dead", the company's focus is partly on the preparation of the crew of "The Mist".

There is also Christopher Nolan, who also completed all the filming of "Batman: Mystery of the Shadow" half a month ago, and officially started post-editing with the cooperation of Warner.

Lyman went to the production department and found executive director Blake, who had just returned from the production of "Batman".

"In the next period of time, you need to help me make the shooting schedule for the "Mist" project. The most important thing is budget control, and you also need to have a detailed plan. Thomas can't be busy with these trivial matters alone."

The crew of "The Mist" is independently undertaken by Firefly Pictures. The behind-the-scenes staff will be able to say that they will be ready soon, but there will still be a lot of problems to be solved for the preparatory work of the entire crew.

As for overall planning, it should be Blake Cole's specialty.

In the past, he was mainly responsible for this part in Rodrien Films This time, the "Batman" crew can also see his ability, and he handled many things well. Christopher Nolan often compliments him in front of Lyman.

"Okay, I will start this matter as soon as possible."

Blake Cole didn't hesitate at all, and said lightly: "However, do you have any ideas for props and scenery? What is the style?"

"I have a sub-shot script of the script, you can discuss it with the behind-the-scenes team of the crew later. However, remember to find a suitable location for shooting, we still need a lot of passers-by actors, and for authenticity and life , I hope the local residents of the filming location will be willing to cooperate with the filming. The crew will pay the salary, but it will be negotiated at the normal industry price."

It would be very troublesome if this movie was shot with a set.

Therefore, if it is not necessary, Lehmann must have shot the scene on the spot. After all, the conditions of the studio cannot meet the shooting needs of the work. From this point of view, the appropriate shooting location is also the key target of investigation.

After giving the request, Blake Cole left.

Lehman thought about the movie and felt it was necessary to contact the special effects company.

Otherwise, it would be too much procrastination to wait for the crew to complete preparations to do this - the rendering of special effects also takes a lot of time.
