Reborn Hollywood Ladies

Chapter 173 A Horror Feast From the Unknown

"In the movie, we can't see the god of death, but we can feel its existence all the time. Every death plot is arranged reasonably, but after watching it, we feel creepy.

Human life is so fragile in the face of the threat of death.It could be a rope in the bathroom, or it could be a live wire, and life just dies.

Life is great, but it is also vulnerable. After watching the movie, everyone should think deeply about whether they cherish their own life.

Director Moran has combined the best of the first two works to create what is now the pinnacle of the new film.

In Grim Reaper, we can see the same unknown horrors as the Blair Witch.It is also an invisible "existence" hiding in the dark, and we have not seen who hurt us from the beginning to the end.But the fear that followed like a shadow and penetrated deep into the bone marrow was severely exposed.

In Grim Reaper, we see the same exquisite death ideas as SAW's mechanisms, and also feel the inescapable despair and powerlessness when facing death directly. "

After boasting about death, the review article went on to cite an example that Hitchcock once said.

Hitchcock is the greatest suspense and thriller director in film history, and his works still influence generations of filmmakers decades later.

He has an interesting theory.Say three people are chatting on a chair, and there is a bomb under the chair that will explode in 5 minutes. How can this story be told with twists and turns and make it more exciting?
The first is to let the bomb explode without mentioning anything in the camera.In this way, the audience will feel the impact at the moment of the explosion.

The second is to tell the audience that there is a bomb hidden under the chair, the three continue to chat, and then the bomb explodes.It's the worst way to tell, obviously without any passion.

The third is to tell the audience that there is a bomb under the chair, and then the three of them chatted for 3 minutes and were about to leave without realizing it. One of them said no, and they had to chat for a while. One minute later, someone proposed to leave again, but the other person still said no, and they haven't had enough chatting yet.

In this way, the audience who clearly knows that the bomb will explode in one minute will be attracted by the plot.Regardless of whether the bomb exploded in the end, the audience's attention was fully devoted to the movie during the waiting period.

This is Hitchcock's famous "bomb theory".

An opinion piece in The Entertainer suggested that Leila also used this technique when filming.

"The key to "Death is Coming" is not the various novel ways of death of the characters, but the chronic torture before death. Under the suspense full of guidance and hints from Director Moran, every step of the characters in the daily environment may cause death The hearts of the audience are also hanging on the heights, waiting for the final arrival of death with trepidation.

There are four men and three women in Reaper, seven characters.Not many people died in the movie, but the horror effect created was outstanding.Just because the director used a special method to prolong their deaths, so that everyone died for a long time.In this slow death time, the audience enjoys the excitement brought by horror. "

Laila looked at the newspaper, and felt a little bright about the comments in her own newspaper.She felt that the person who wrote this report was right, and that was the key to the classic horror film in film history.

Although other newspapers also have words of praise, but the most thorough analysis has to be this article from the Entertainment Daily.

If you want to say that it is easy to do things by yourself!Laila sighed and put the finished newspaper aside.

Reaper Laila was released on Friday, and successfully won 4000 million US dollars in three days, and won the box office champion for a week without any challenge.The word-of-mouth of the film has also spread throughout the United States under the word of mouth of movie fans.

In order to find out what hints of death appeared in the movie, many people walked into the movie theater again and again.And on the most active network of movie fans, Reaper fans are also talking about the scenes that appear in the movie with great enthusiasm, and sometimes simply form a group to go to the movie theater because of differences of opinion.

This crazy frenzy of watching movies has made many Hollywood filmmakers red-eyed.Why wasn't their film the cause of the craze?Why is it that the lucky Laila has a large sum of money in her hand again?Why can she create a movie that excites the audience every time?Why can't they come up with such an idea?
So after inquiring about the idea of ​​Reaper's script coming from the backup script of X-Files, many people also began to focus their attention on it, and a batch of good-quality horror movies were released soon after.Although it can't make a lot of money like the god of death, a small profit is enough to make filmmakers and investors laugh.

"I heard there's a new movie coming out?"

Before the rare family dinner together, the old man took Lila, who had just returned home to New York, into his study.

"Yes, it's been in theaters for a week." In front of the old man, Laila would always act obediently.

Oswald took a sip of tea and asked casually, "Is the box office good?"

"It's okay, as of yesterday, it has won more than 7000 million box office."

This is a very good result, which can be said to be an incredible result for a horror film.But for Leila, who has long been accustomed to seeing hundreds of millions of billions of box office in the future, she didn't feel particularly excited.

In the eyes of the old man, her indifference is a sign of her ability to "achieve great things".She will be the boss of the group in the future, what if she doesn't even have this kind of tolerance?
"The publicity this time is pretty good." Oswald wanted to put on a straight face and put on the posture of an elder, but the raised corners of his mouth couldn't be calmed down, and finally he could only cough dryly, pretending to be indifferent appearance. "Remember, many times words come from other people's mouths are more useful than our own. You did a good job this time."

Laila knew that "Death Comes" used John Denver's death to hype things up, but an old fox like grandpa couldn't hide it, so she didn't deny it: "It's just a small trick. The box office is everything."

"That's right! As long as you can make money, the means don't matter." Oswald waved his hand: "If you need help, just go to that kid Anthony. I think he's not bad, and he's good enough to leave you as a deputy in the future."

If Anthony heard this sentence, he would probably be happy not to find North.What does Leila's deputy represent?No matter what, he is also a senior leader at the vice president level of the future group.From the manager of the advertising department of a newspaper to the vice president of a media group, it can be said to be a legendary rise.

Laila also recognized his abilities, but it was too early to mention those: "Let's talk about this later. There is no rush."

The old man is in good health, and it will be no problem to be a boss for decades.She still has her own ideals to fulfill, how can she have time to be entangled in those trivial matters?

　Seeing the video of the Filipino diving, Lao Zhuang smiled unkindly.

　　If you don't know what's going on, you can Baidu it, hehe
