Chapter 464： New version of "Dead Silence"

After the script was rejected again, Wen Ziren heard that the project still had room to turn around, and immediately cheered up, waiting for Lehman to talk about how the story should be written.

"In horror films, there are many ways to shape the source of terror, but the most recognized by the audience is nothing more than figurative and intentional. The former's representative works include "Cry on the Island", the Japanese version of "Midnight Bell", and the Japanese version of "Curse". Resentment", the latter's masterpieces are "Ghost Shadow", "The Storm", and even "Blair Witch". Your idea of ​​this film is figurative, and ghosts will have positive shots.

Therefore, the role of the ghost itself seems to have a larger proportion. In this case, it was wronged in its previous life, and it would be more in line with the audience's psychological point of view to die with hatred and turn into a ghost for revenge. "

"Isn't my setup okay?"

"Neither the gods of the West nor the saints of the East would advocate this kind of argument. By the way, do you believe in fatalism?"

"I don't believe it." After hesitating for a while, Wen Ziren answered honestly.

Lyman shook his head gently, "But this is a certain social attribute. For example, little girls should like dolls and beautiful clothes, and boys like toy guns, toy racing cars, violence, and more fun. Noisy toys. It's an imposed, heavily biased trait given by society. If you were asked to buy a toy for a friend's daughter, what would you buy?"

"I don't know. Maybe Barbie."

"Look, this is a perennial, socially subjective choice. Has anyone ruled that girls can't like toy guns? No. But more people will want them to like dolls. Now, you should understand."

"Standing in the position of the public?"

"It's not absolute, but entertainment creation should not be too deviant, especially when our directors still need box office results to support their personal careers."

In fact, the role of Mary-Shaw is like a **** lotus, or the kind of **** that attracts the public's disgust, and its severity is comparable to that of ntr in the Internet.

"Then how to change it?"

"The ventriloquist performer's identity setting is very good, and the country nursery rhyme that does not scream is also very good, but she can be set as a good person and a little neurotic, it is best to be misunderstood by the town residents for some reason, and then lead to Death. The evil spirits who are born with too much resentment will haunt these murderers until the next generation will take revenge."

"Some reason? Pedophiles are misunderstood?"

Lehman encouraged: "A good entry point. A ventriloquist performer, because he often deals with dolls, he has never married or started a family, but he likes children very much."

"In this way, boys are better." After Wen Ziren's ideas were opened, his ideas gradually became clear, "Mary-Xiao lives in a small town and makes a living by performing ventriloquism in theaters. Because she likes children, she often invites The children went to play at her house, but one day a boy came home from Mary-Shaw and suddenly told his parents that someone had hurt him."

"There were rumors in the town, and everyone began to doubt Mary-Shaw's motives for inviting the children to play at her house. The matter became more and more serious among neighbors and chatting with each other, so much so that everyone looked at Mary-Shaw with tinted glasses. Outsiders Until one day, a drunk parent could no longer control it, picked up a shotgun, and killed Mary-Shaw. A week later, the man was found drowning in the bathtub, and his wife and children jumped upstairs. Jumped down and fell into a meatloaf town and began to fall into disuse. Some people left here one after another, but Mary-Shaw's resentment did not disappear, but fulfilled the nursery rhyme: When you see a doll, don't scream"

"This setting may be better." Wen Ziren was very satisfied.

After the re-characterization of Mary-Shaw's character, it inexplicably intensified the extension of the sense of fear, and also made the first half of the story polished.

It feels even more inexplicable about the development of the plot of "Mountain Village Old Corpse" and "Deer Hunter".

Zizi, Chu Renmei, what a shadow of childhood!

With such an arrangement, Mary-Shaw is also expected to become the US version of Chu Renmei, the kind of existence that makes all viewers deeply interested after watching it, the kind that will be dreamed of at night.

After all, in the United States, the problem of children is far more substituting than deception and derailment, and the public is more willing to accept this kind of reason that the misunderstood will contain great resentment after death.

You know, with such international status, Michael Jackson was still defeated by a specious pedophile.

This once again confirms a truth that remains unchanged in modern times: spread a rumor and break a leg.

And often not anyway.

Okay, I don't know how many social issues are involved in such a plot, it is very topical, and it conflicts with drama.

I believe that when the movie is made, at least it won't be spit out by American audiences like in the previous life.

Wen Ziren can obviously understand that the script has risen to a higher level, and his face is a little excited.

This is the question of the death of a different villain, it is clearly the intention of raising the script.

As a director, he still has a different perspective on issues.

"Ha, wonderful, ha, interesting." The more Wen Ziren thought about it, the more he felt the desire to shoot. He muttered, almost forgetting that there was someone standing next to him.

Seeing his appearance, Ryman patted him on the shoulder, wanting to say something, and finally ordered: "Remember what I said just now about the social characteristics, write another version of the script, and when it's finished, I'll invest in the project. "

"Ah, good. I'll write the script with Ray Warner when I get back."

This promise is the best comfort, which makes Wen Ziren feel a little lost in an instant. He hurriedly nodded to Lyman, took the script and turned and left the office.

Wen Ziren once created a personal "Conjuring" movie universe with his extraordinary talent for terror. There is no need to question his directing ability But in the same way, genius also needs to grow, just like the original "Dead Silence", The filming without considering the market prospect is already doomed to the failure of the film.

It's also because this guy focuses all his energy on how to use the camera to create a terrifying atmosphere, instead ignoring the completeness and rhythm of the movie's plot.

He's like a truck driver who is very good at simplicity, and cargo capacity always takes priority over driving comfort.

But once you get used to it, there will inevitably be some small problems.

Of course, there is another situation that may have something to do with his first entry into the director's circle and encountering obstacles everywhere. Wen Ziren likes to control the shooting costs in his hands very much.

Even if he has money, he is more willing to make low-budget films. The level of concern for funds always focuses on cost performance, which is quite different from Nolan's attitude towards film works.

He is good at calculating, but it does not mean that he is not skilled.

Even because it is possible to shoot the best real-life style, the cost of shooting is difficult to reduce.
