Reborn Hollywood Ladies

Chapter 33 The Backup Script
"Know the X-Files?"

Louise thought about it suspiciously, and asked uncertainly, "You mean that sci-fi TV series?"

Lila nodded: "That's right, I hope you can buy a spare script in it. It's about a person who foresaw the possibility of the crash before the plane crashed, got off the plane at the last moment, and became a lucky survivor with a group of people. story of the

"That's okay." Although Louise was curious about how she knew there was such a story, she still carefully recorded her request.

"By the way, there is one more thing. I already have a plan for the second movie. I need a good prop master, the kind that can make the equipment I want."

Louise smiled and said, "That's okay. Old Todd's craftsmanship is very good. Our props are usually made by him."

"Really great?" Can't blame Laila for doubting that the Phoenix Company used to make B-grade movies with pitifully low cost, did they expect there to be any high-end props there?

The props in the movie Chainsaw are a horror point, and it is also the most brilliant place.How to make the audience stand up after watching it, how to spread the horror atmosphere into the auditorium, if there is no real thing in hand, it is difficult to achieve the result she wants.

And if he is really a very capable prop master, how can he stay in the Phoenix company, which is dying and has almost no hope, and has not been poached?Before she came, many people had been poached in this way.

Louise nodded very firmly: "Don't worry, I can guarantee Old Todd's skills! In fact, he was poached many times before, but it seems that he has some relationship with Boss Reynolds to stay in the company."

Lila understood: "Okay, let him come over later. No, forget it, let's wait first. You can go to work first."

"Then I'll go out first." Louise nodded and turned to leave.

After she left, Laila habitually tapped her pen on the table.

In her previous life, she knew that the script of Reaper's Coming came from the backup script of the X-Files. Later, director Huang Yiyu took a fancy to it and bought the idea to adapt it, which became a classic movie later.

Things like this kind of outline should not cost much, and she can do the adaptations by herself. The most important thing now is to write the script of the chainsaw first.

It took only 1 days to shoot this movie in the previous life, and it finally won a global box office of more than 120 million. It can be said that it also created a miracle, because its shooting cost was only [-] million.Although it does not have the miraculous return on investment of the witch, it is still a very impressive result.

——Iwanttoplayagame. (I want to play a game with you.)
- GAMEOVER. (The game is over.)
Laila felt that these two sentences were the essence of the whole movie.

The jigsaw played by Tobin is actually not a bloodthirsty, cruel and cruel person who only knows how to kill. He did not blindly create death, but left a glimmer of life every time.It is this trace of vitality that sublimates the movie somewhere, leaving more places worth thinking about.She wants to add more highlights to it by herself, but she dare not say that it must be several times stronger than the original version, and it is definitely not allowed if it is too bad.

While Lila was writing the script in retreat, with the arrival of December, "The Blair Witch" continued to make steady progress at the box office around the world.Even though it has been screened for a month, it still won more than 12 million in North America again, beating down a lot of newly released movies, and staying at the third place on the box office list without any risk.

At the same time, the box office of The Witch shocked many people in the dozens of countries where it was screened.The global box office reached more than 3000 million in a week, and even won the honor of box office champion in some countries.

This stunned many people who looked down upon this work.They can't figure out what is the magic of such a dizzying movie, how can so many people go to the cinema for it?
A rich girl just spent tens of thousands of dollars to make a messy movie and earned [-] to [-] million in the world. The money for this movie is too good, right?

But what about those movies that have invested a lot of money without even making a splash?Is it a problem with the script, or a problem with the actors?Or is that director really a once-in-a-century genius?
Of all the doubters, Cooper was the angriest.After the Witch's latest box office results came out, he dropped his favorite teacup and lost all the books in his study.

Everyone can see that the Phoenix company is really going to be reborn from the ashes this time.It is conceivable that the next time they launch a movie and want to seek screenings, those theater owners who originally looked down upon them will seriously consider it, instead of dismissing them as a bad movie company like before.

This is undoubtedly the worst news for him.Why has he been targeting Phoenix Corporation all these years?Has he done so much before and let a movie ruin the plan?

"Damn! Damn! There must be some way to deal with her! Why does she have to be from the Moran family!" Cooper thumped the table frantically: "I will not let you go! Reynolds! I will never let you go You, even if you die, I must completely destroy everything you left behind!"

Laila is a member of the Moran family, and the surname of Moran represents a height that he will never be able to match.In the past, he could use the media, film reviews, money, and any other method he could think of to deal with Phoenix Company.

Take the script they want when they're making a movie, take the actors they want, take the soundtrack guy they want.How wonderful it was then!He can snatch everything from them with a little profit at will.

But now it is obviously impossible!A film made by a director who has made a global box office of [-] to [-] million is not something he can impress with a little profit.What actor wouldn't want to be in a movie like that?Even if you don't need money, as long as you can get acquainted in it, there are a lot of people who are willing!
As for the script, don't even think about it. It is said that the witch's script was written by the young director himself.If she can continue to write and direct by herself, how can he block their success?
More importantly, the surname Moran, news tycoon Oswald Moran will never sit back and watch his granddaughter be attacked by other media.If he uses the media and film critics to lash out at film works as he did before, he also knows that there will be the same or even more violent attacks on him.

Could he just watch the phoenix slowly grow its wings?

No!He will never allow it!As long as he is still alive, he will never allow it!The death of Reynolds will not be the end, he will personally kill the future of Phoenix!
Cooper picked up the pen that fell on the ground, leaned on the table and began to write desperately.

The next day, his latest review appeared in the News of the World.

"Crazy movie, it brought in nothing but the box office."

"I was blown away when I saw the new week's box office charts. It's crazy. An absurd movie, it's pale, it's soulless, it doesn't deliver anything but screams, and it takes One incredible box office record after another."
