prodigal director

Chapter 141 Disappointed "Chain Saw 2" [200 monthly ticket plus more]

Through his understanding of movies, Hao Huan discovered that domestic movies that are big box office sellers at home will not do well at the box office after being released abroad.

There are many reasons for this, but the main reason is that foreigners generally cannot get the laughs or excitement of domestic movies.

Therefore, even if "The Return of the Soul" is a hit at the domestic box office, it will not be able to exceed the box office of "Orphan" when it was released in North America.

That's why Hao Huan didn't plan to release "Happy Ghost" and "Happy Ghost" abroad.

First of all, translation is a problem. Without the original flavor of Chinese, the whole movie has actually collapsed, because translating foreign languages ​​into Chinese basically cannot translate the essence of the language revealed between the lines.

Therefore, many people in the country can laugh knowingly at a glance, but it is meaningless after being translated into a foreign language.

But if there is no translation, then foreigners can't understand it, so why watch the movie?
This is why Hao Huan did not let "Return to Soul Night" be released abroad, because he didn't want to ruin the film.

But the following "Infernal Affairs" is more suitable for release abroad.Of course, the main market is still domestic.

With this movie, Hao Huan firmly believes that it can surpass "The Return of the Soul" and "The Final Battle" and successfully set a new box office record for domestic movies!

There are still more than two months left before summer vacation.

In the past two months, what Hao Huan has to do is to carefully supervise the post-production of "Infernal Affairs". There are not many special effects to be processed this time, and they are not difficult to handle, so the next focus is on the editing and editing of the video footage. synthesis.

After passing the last assessment, Red Ear Film and Television Company fired several post-production employees who were fishing in troubled waters and had poor skills. The remaining employees were all relatively skilled.

In more than two months, without the help of Good Luck Films, his Red Ears Film and Television Company is enough to complete the post-production of "Infernal Affairs".

Taking advantage of the fact that I will be supervising the post-production of "Returning Soul Night", and Wang Lexin has nothing to do next, so Hao Huan must implement a stocking plan for her, let her hang up the phone outside to upgrade and shoot movies, and try to keep the director Level up.

And "Chainsaw 2" is a good whetstone for Wang Lexin.

"Unlocking "Chain Saw 2" requires spending 2750 million prodigal points, do you want to unlock it?"

"Yes!"

"Successfully unlocked! Obtained the viewing qualification of "Chain Saw 2"! Obtained the qualification of "Chain Saw 2" set experience!"

Hao Huan was not in a hurry to start the set experience. This time he was qualified to watch the movie, which meant that he could watch the movie in the system, so he decided to watch the movie first before talking.

"Saw 2" plays.

It's so late at night, Hao Huan shouldn't be too nervous and exciting to watch this kind of movie.

However, after watching "Chain Saw 2", Hao Huan was disappointed.

He is really disappointed!
With a prodigal value of 2750 million, it feels like such a loss!
Compared with the first film, the plot of "Saw 2" has no suspense, and it can no longer be called a suspense movie. In Hao Huan's view, this is purely a horror, horror and bloody movie.

Apart from being frightened by the horrifying and bloody scenes, he didn't have the thrilling feeling he had when he first watched "Saw".

"Compared to the first film, the plot is not as good as the director's level!"

Hao Huan hesitated and experienced the set of "Saw 2".

After starting the on-set experience, Hao Huan immediately discovered an important point!
"The director has changed!"

He remembered that the director of the first part of "Chain Saw" was a man in his twenties with yellow skin and black hair.

However, the director of the second part turned out to be a bearded foreigner!

"It's no wonder that the level of the director is so much lower than that of the first film, and it's no wonder that the level of the script and story has also dropped a lot compared to the first film. It turns out that the director has changed!"

After Hao Huan experienced the set for an hour, he could already see the difference between the two.

Now, as an excellent and professional director, he can fully see the director's level of the other party through the experience on the set.

If scored according to the system's scoring standards, Hao Huan, the director of Chainsaw Part 65, only thinks it has about [-] points.

Qualified, but not excellent.

“Exit the set experience!”

It was the first time that Hao Huan hadn't finished the set experience. He felt that he didn't need to refer to it, because his director level, even the screenwriter level, had actually surpassed the other party.

"Forget it, now that everything is unlocked, I can only bite the bullet and shoot. But I have to modify the script. The suspense of this script is not enough, and the whole story is based on abnormal blood. If you want to think about such a plot, It is almost impossible to pass the review and be released smoothly. Even if it is abroad, this kind of footage may not be able to pass the review!"

Hao Huan was a little impressed. Are the review standards for movies in that parallel world so loose?
And if the data given by the system is true, then "Saw 2" won a box office of 10 billion. Doesn't it mean that the audience in that parallel world likes this kind of horror and bloody movie?

Hao Huan took a look at his personal attribute information.

Director: Hao Huan

Acting score: 99
Artistic literacy: 96
Understanding photography: 93
Screenwriting ability: 92
Post-production: 85
He muttered to himself: "The screenwriting ability is 92. With my current screenwriting level, I definitely have the ability to write a better script. It's just foreshadowing the suspense. My brain is not very good. This is not a point I am good at. "

Thinking back to the script of the first "Saw", Hao Huan was particularly convinced by the suspense and twist.

But now that I have unlocked the second part of "Saw", the screenwriting level has obviously dropped a lot. The exciting suspense plot requires story foreshadowing and characters to set off. After watching the movie, Hao Huan found that the story has no foreshadowing. , the good and bad characters are all right in front of you, which directly reduces the audience's sense of expectation and thrilling tension.

He really didn't want to waste time and money filming such a script, even if it was a directing assignment assigned to Wang Lexin.

So he plans to rely on his 92-point screenwriting ability to make major changes to the script and story of "Chain Saw 2".

This is also a time to prove his screenwriting ability!

That night, when everyone fell asleep, Hao Huan turned on the computer in the study and began to rewrite the script of "Saw 2".

He followed the introduction and the main line to write a story that he thought was better, more suspenseful, thrilling, and thrilling to watch.

This writing, unknowingly, took another night.

The night outside the window gradually faded, and the warm sunshine that had just risen shone into the study. Hao Huan took a sip of the cold half cup of bitter coffee to stimulate his mental state. When inspiration came, he continued to type on the keyboard to write the story.

"The brutal and perverted killer is back with his newly invented killing game. This time he will use a weirder way to make his designated game participants experience the value of life more deeply..."

Strange, this is the main line of the story that Hao Huan wants to change.

"Suspense reasoning, battle of wits and courage..."

Hao Huan felt that he could learn from the foreshadowing techniques of "Infernal Affairs", and then enrich the main story line of "Chain Saw 2". Otherwise, the whole film would be full of horror and bloody killings. Even if it passed the review, not many audiences would Choose to buy movie tickets to watch this thrilling, gory movie.

"I'll try my best to make sure it reaches the level of suspense of the first part!"

Hao Huan continued to revise. He believed that a suspense thriller movie that is truly worthy of learning and worthy of being praised should be like the first part of "Saw". By creating the atmosphere of the story, in a scene, and through the layers of characters that appear, Progressing layer by layer, the suspense is pushed to a climax, making the audience nervous and looking forward to the next development of the story, allowing the audience to guess who the real killer behind the scenes is?
This is where suspense and thriller movies attract the audience the most!
Fear should come from a sense of substitution!The audience is allowed to immerse themselves in the story, follow the protagonist to explore the truth and survive in desperate situations.Instead of using bloody and cruel killing scenes to create a sense of visual fear.

This is the lowest form of presentation!
Hao Huan feels that he has made progress again. He has evolved from watching movies with his eyes to understanding movies with his heart.

Yawning, Hao Huan took another sip of the bitter coffee. Taking advantage of the burst of inspiration, he first completed the outline of the story, and then filled in the details to enrich the plot.

He looked at the lower right corner of the computer, it was 8:03 in the morning, and he was a little hungry.

He took his cell phone and sent a message to Wang Lexin: "Bring me breakfast and come over to clean up."

This kennel has not been cleaned for a month since Wang Lexin's last cleaning, so it's time for Wang Lexin to work overtime.

On the other side, I thought I could take two days off to rest and sleep in, but as soon as Hao Huan's message came, the special ringtone specially customized for Hao Huan instantly woke up Wang Lexin.

Professional habits!
Hao Huan's message ringtone was already bad news to her. Even if she slept like a dead pig, she would wake up instantly when the ringtone rang without hesitation.

Taking the mobile phone and looking at it, Wang Lexin immediately climbed out of bed with a bitter face, bent over and swayed decadently, went to brush her teeth and wash her face, muttering like a disabled person: "It is clearly agreed that I will give you two days off to have a good rest. As a result, let people send breakfast early in the morning, and let people clean up! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

"bully……"

Wang Lexin quickly brushed her teeth and washed her face. It took less than 5 minutes to finish washing, put on her clothes and boots, and hurried out of the door while combing her hair.

After Hao Huan "placed the order", she had already delivered breakfast to her door in less than 20 minutes. When the doorbell rang, Wang Lexin shouted half-deadly: "Boss, open the door..."

Ka, Hao Huan opened the door, and her head that was on the door bumped in immediately, and was held down by Hao Huan with one hand, and said contemptuously, "What are you doing? Sleepwalking!"

"No……"

Wang Lexin handed the breakfast takeaway to Hao Huan: "Here, your breakfast!"

As she spoke, she began to bend over to take off her shoes, took a pair of large slippers from the shoe rack and put them on, and walked to the balcony like a walking dead, took the vacuum cleaner and planned to vacuum the dust first, and then mop the floor.

Hao Huan looked at this guy's half-dead look like a useless person, and said amusedly: "Did you become a thief last night? I'm not as useless as you all night!"

Wang Lexin plugged in the vacuum cleaner and buzzed: "Someone told me to take two days off, so I was so happy that I couldn't sleep all night."

"Do you blame me?"

Hao Huan unpacked the takeaway box and said, "Today doesn't count, you can continue to rest tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, so there will be no complaints, right?"

Wang Lexin instantly regained her spirits: "No, absolutely no complaints!"

"Oh, woman."

Hao Huan was eating breakfast, and said a little tiredly: "I wrote the script of "Saw 2" all night, you can read it to me later."

"Oh."

Wang Lexin asked in surprise: "Boss, you didn't sleep last night?"

Hao Huan was speechless: "Didn't you hear what I said all night long?"

Wang Lexin cleaned Hao Huan's room with a vacuum cleaner, and a voice came from inside: "It's not good to stay up all night, you are prone to sudden death."

Before Hao Huan died suddenly, he almost choked to death on this mouthful of preserved egg and lean meat porridge. He coughed twice and exhaled: "If you can't talk, talk less!"

I am telling the truth!

Wang Lexin shook her head, shut up obediently and cleaned up. After vacuuming and mopping the floor, more than half an hour passed immediately.

Hao Huan was still typing on the keyboard in the study to write the script, and after seeing Wang Lexin cleaned up, he reminded: "Go out and wait a while, I will let you read the script after I finish writing."

"Oh……"

Wang Lexin walked out of the hall, sat on the sofa and yawned. Listening to the clacking sound of the keyboard, her eyelids became heavier and heavier, and finally she couldn't hold back and fell asleep on the sofa.

after an hour.

Hao Huan finally finished writing the script of "Saw 2", he yawned and said, "It's all right, come in and take a look."

Ok?
Seeing that Wang Lexin didn't respond, Hao Huan went out to have a look, yes, this guy is also big-hearted!Actually fell asleep on the sofa!Doesn't she have the slightest defense against me?

"What a stupid pig!"

Hao Huan shook his head, forget it, I'll sleep first, I'm sleepy.

Hao Huan walked back to the room, and after thinking about it, he took a quilt and went out to cover the stupid pig, so as not to catch a cold and affect his work.

what……

Hao Huan stretched, went back to the room, lay down on the bed and fell asleep immediately.

noon.

Wang Lexin, who had slept for two or three hours, suddenly thought of something and woke up suddenly.

It's over! It's over!

How did I fall asleep!
She sat up, only to realize that she was actually covered with a quilt.

"boss?"

She called out softly, then tiptoed to the study with bare feet and took a look.

not there?

Quietly, Mimi walked to the room. Well, it turned out that he was asleep too!I can rest assured that!

She walked back to the study quietly, and a piece of paper was pasted on the computer screen: Don't disturb me when you wake up, read the script by yourself.

"Huh, luckily I didn't wake him up just now! Otherwise, he would really be doomed!"

Wang Lexin sat down, she clicked the mouse, the computer screen that entered sleep mode lit up, and the script of "Saw 2" was presented in front of her.

"Is this the script he wrote all night?"

Wang Lexin looked at it curiously, wondering why Hao Huan was working so hard?
incomprehensible...

Rich people may be so weird, right?
She stared at the screen seriously, looking at the script on the computer, thinking about the story scenes of "Saw 2", and felt inexplicably nervous.

I don’t know how many minutes passed, but Wang Lexin finally finished reading it and said to herself: “This script feels even scarier than the first one!”

"is it?"

Hao Huan's voice suddenly rang out from behind her head...
