Chapter 125 Company New Film
"Psychological horror?"

"Correct!"

"There aren't a lot of bloody scenes or anything like that, it's more of a hint of existence."

"You'll know when I find time to write the script." Huang Ze said, "I recommend you find some videotapes of neon horror movies to watch."

"Okay, I understand!" Zhang Jianya stood up. "Then you go ahead and I'll go find some horror movie tapes to watch."

"it is good."

Huang Ze watched him walk out of the room, then took out a piece of paper and started writing an outline.

Four students watched the videotape and died seven days later. This attracted the attention of a female reporter. After some investigation, she found the videotape and watched it as well.

She believed that anyone who watched the videotape would die in seven days. In order to save her own life and to find out the truth, she went to find her ex-husband and copied a copy of the video for him to study. Through the clues in the videotape, they found the source of the videotape.

When they found the place, the heroine's son also watched the videotape under the instructions of an unknown force.

amount……

A vengeful spirit that kills people through videotapes.

This vengeful spirit has a famous name, Sadako.

Of course, if the film was shot in Hong Kong Island, it would not be appropriate to call her Sadako. The girl in white should be called Ah Zhen.

For this film, Huang Ze also plans to use the translated name from the previous life, "The Ring"!
A phenomenal neon horror film.

In its previous life, it was released in Hong Kong Island in 1999, surpassing Stephen Chow's "The King of Comedy" and won the Hong Kong Island box office champion that year with a score of 3125 million Hong Kong dollars.
After the U.S. remake in 02, the North American box office reached 1.29 million U.S. dollars, and later two sequels were made.

Huang Ze believes that with some promotional skills, it will not be difficult for this film to be successful in Hong Kong Island!
Of course, it is not suitable for Huang Ze to shoot.

To be honest, it is a downgrade for a director who has won the Golden Lion Award to make a horror film.

"Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels" is a black comedy, but at least it has structural innovation.

If it were "The Ring", people would criticize it.

It's not a horror movie like "Jaws" that can take global box office, so Huang Ze won't pay anything for it.

Sometimes, the quality is also very important.

Huang Ze has to maintain this status.

I can't be the director of "The Ring", but I can be a producer and let Zhang Jianya shoot the film.

Anyway, most of the money you earn ends up in your own pocket.

In the following period, Huang Ze not only focused on the post-production of "Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels", but also spent time writing the script for "The Ring".

Most of the time I spend at home is spent writing scripts.

"Writing a new script?"

Gong Xing came over curiously and touched the paper Huang Ze had placed beside him. "How many pages have you written?"

"You can't look at it!" Huang Ze quickly held it down.

"You won't even give me your new work even though I'm here to admire it?"

"It's not that I don't want to show it to you, it's just not suitable!" Huang Ze pointed at Gong Xian's belly, "This is a horror movie. It doesn't matter if it scares you, but don't scare your son."

"Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be prepared for the worst."

"Don't tell me the script when he comes out. I'll take him to see the movie version directly! How do you think?"

"Okay." Gong Xing took his hand back and tilted his head to look at Huang Ze, "I'm a little curious, why did you start making horror movies? Has the great director fallen a little?" "I made it for Zhang Jianya." Huang Ze shook his head, "Originally, I promised him that he would start making his debut last year, and Taste of Cherry won the Golden Lion. So many things couldn't be postponed, and as a result, I didn't even finish Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels."

"Now that we have time, it's time to make good on our promises."

"We can't always let others quench their thirst with only plums and fill their stomachs with pie in the sky, can we?"

"Give it to Zhang Jianya!" Gong Wei pulled a chair and sat next to him, thinking with his chin in his hand, "After this film is finished, will Zhang Jianya be a rich man?"

"If he becomes popular, I will give him a big red envelope, so that should count. Why are you asking this?"

"I'm thinking about his marriage to Zhang Yu. I think there might be a chance for his relationship with Zhang Yu to turn around."

"Good fellow, do you mean that if he can't make money, there will be no improvement in his situation?" Huang Ze retorted, but he knew in his heart that if there was no money, there would be no improvement.

At this moment, who would go to the United States and come back to find her husband in China?
Either the husband in China will follow her there, or they will part ways.

If I remember correctly in my previous life, Zhang Yu went on to become a graduate student after graduating from college.

That was the year I divorced Zhang Jianya when I was about to start my postgraduate studies.

As for this matter, Zhang Yu was, after all, the matchmaker between himself and Gong Xing, so he couldn't say anything. He could only say that he respected it and that the choice was their business, so he wouldn't interfere.

Concentrate on creation and writing scripts.

After spending seven days of free time to finish writing the script for "The Ring", Huang Ze once again called Zhang Jianya to his office. Seeing him look a little listless, Huang Ze smiled and asked, "Have you watched a lot of movies these days?"

"Yeah! I have to say, Japanese people are really good at making this kind of film."

"Well, let's take a look." Huang Ze pointed to the script on the table, "This is what you want to shoot. Sit down and take a look first."

"Well, so soon?"

Zhang Jianya picked up the script and started reading it, while Huang Ze continued to do his own thing. When he heard the swish of flipping through the pages fade away, he raised his head and asked, "How is it?"

"The plot is good. If you just read the script, it's not very scary."

"But I think if more effort is put into editing and music, this can be made into an excellent horror film."

"That's right." Huang Ze snapped his fingers. "In fact, the important factors of a horror movie are editing and soundtrack, especially the soundtrack. Without the soundtrack, the quality of a horror movie will drop by half."

"Don't worry about the editing and music. Even if I hire someone to do it, I will keep an eye on it and it will definitely be up to standard."

“I will use the producer’s name!”

"That's even better." Zhang Jianya was delighted. Huang Ze had already made a name for himself, and his willingness to put his name on this film was equivalent to using his fame to endorse "The Ring."

This made him more confident about the film.

“I’ll take good pictures.”

"Come, let me talk to you about the filming."

"For example, in the first scene, the two girls are chatting in the room. To create a scary atmosphere, vertical and horizontal lines are used to cut off the two people, giving people a sense of oppression. At first, a long shot is used, followed by a medium shot, and then a close-up, zooming out step by step to create that sense of tension. Then the shot is switched to a medium shot, and at this time, a bell rings..."

I talked to Zhang Jianya about my ideas, one script at a time, and before I knew it, two hours had passed.

Looking at Zhang Jianya who was taking notes, Huang Ze smiled and said, "Let's continue talking about the actors!"

"Will Zhou Huimin be the female lead?" Zhang Jianya asked.

"Huh?" Huang Ze was stunned, "Why do you say that?"
