After buying Marvel, I became the king of Hollywood

The same is true for Wen Ziren.

As for the current horror films in the United States, rather than horror films, in Wen Ziren's opinion, it is more accurate to call them plasma films.

Among these movies, plasma is the most used movie prop.

Of course, it’s actually ketchup.

After all, most horror films are small investments, and it is impossible to achieve such realistic effects in terms of props. It would be nice to have ketchup.

Wen Ziren has always looked down on this kind of horror movie.

On the contrary, the horror films in his heart are actually more inclined to Asian horror films.

He especially likes Japanese horror movies.

And Kevin recommended him to find inspiration from Japanese horror movies, which hit his arms.

After thousands of choices, he finally chose a suitable theme.

According to the core of the movie, the American version was shot.

As for copyright, to be honest, it's like the relationship between Red Dead and Takeshi Kitano's heart.

The influence of Japanese culture in this era is still very strong.

Many Hollywood movies have a bit of a melodramatic routine.

The so-called "Rongge" is a saying in the novel world, which means that part of the core of the plot is applied, but not completely plagiarized.

Learn from, just learn from.

Can you say plagiarism about things about cultural people?

As soon as he entered the office, Kevin revealed a decadent scene of himself.

The whole person sat directly on the sofa in a very relaxed posture, no longer a bossy look.

Of course, it refers to the external image.

All kinds of evil charms and madness of the overlord are not Kevin's favorite.

Seeing this scene, Wen Ziren also smiled.

This series of actions by Kevin means that he regards Wen Ziren as his own, which makes Wen Ziren's heart somewhat touched.

Whether it is intentional or not.

In short, Kevin has given enough things to the contracted directors of Chenxi Films in all aspects.

Opportunity, money, respect, everything that should be there.

This kind of respect brings the directors' confidence in him.

Just like Wen Ziren, now he is gradually becoming less restrained in front of him, and can relax freely.

Show your true side in front of Kevin.

"Is the movie finished?"

Kevin leaned on the sofa and asked lazily.

Wen Ziren nodded, pointed to the master tape on the table in the middle, and said slowly:

"Yes, it has been edited, and I just need to let you see how the quality is."

Having said that, Kevin could hear his confidence in Wen Ziren's tone.

Of course, Kevin, who knew Wen Ziren was a talented director, would not be angry because of his tone.

The self-confidence of a genius is self-confidence, and Kevin likes this kind of self-confidence.

This means that he is very confident in his grasp of the quality of the movie, rather than brainless confidence.

For geniuses, Kevin is so tolerant.

"Show it."

Kevin nodded and ordered.

Kevin's office naturally has all the functions it should have.

Apart from other things, as a film company, a home theater equipment for watching movies is naturally available.

Hearing Kevin's order, Wen Ziren picked up the master tape and started operating it on the projector beside him.

At present, it has only reached the point where the editing is done. The opening and ending of the music film has not been completed yet, and it will take time to perfect it.

But the music is the icing on the cake, and the movie itself is the core.

There has never been a movie supported by music.

It is impossible for this multi-million-dollar small-production horror film to hire some music master to specially produce a suitable soundtrack. Generally, some music that has passed the copyright protection period is used in Hollywood's music copyright library.

The advantage is that either no money is paid, or a little money is paid, and the quality is not bad at the same time.

The disadvantage is that it lacks exclusivity and will make less money.

You must know that the soundtrack collection of the movie is also making money when the movie is a big hit.

A movie, every aspect of profit, Hollywood has used it very well.

Almost nothing will be missed.

Soon the movie will start showing.

After closing the light-blocking curtains, this office is like a small movie theater, except that the audience is only Kevin and Wen Ziren.

The screen began to play, and Kevin also began to watch the horror movie from the perspective of the audience.

From the bottom of his heart, Kevin himself doesn't really like horror movies.

You must know that being a director is a profession with very rich associations. After watching a movie, it is easy to have many associations.

It's perfectly normal to scare yourself.

To avoid such things, Kevin rarely watches horror movies.

Of course, I'm talking about Japanese horror movies.

As for American-style horror films, they rely more on various scary shapes to scare people, such as zombies with only half their heads left.

Monsters with severed hands, broken feet, or broken bodies.

This kind of horror movie, to be honest, Kevin only felt that it would cause nausea and cause physical discomfort, etc., but there was no horror at all.

It is not an exaggeration to say that in his previous life, Kevin watched American horror movies as if they were eighteen themes.

There is no way, American horror films usually have some large-scale shots.

This is the usual way in Hollywood.

The reason is very simple.

The themes of horror films have always been [-] themes, of course, this [-] is not that other [-].

Chapter 389 Preliminary Conception of Horror Movie Universe

It wasn't meant for children to watch.

At the same time, this kind of horror film can sometimes stimulate the hormones of young people.

In addition, many people who watch this kind of movie are actually couples.

After looking for excitement, the second half ended with open houses.

Therefore, there are more and more shots to add to the fun.

This has gradually formed the characteristics of American horror films.

Large-scale shots attract the attention of thrill-seeking young men and women.

It is basically the standard configuration of Hollywood small-investment horror films.

As for the horror scene, to Kevin, it's completely trivial.

It's just that big-scale lens.

On the contrary, Japanese horror films will really cause psychological shadows.

American horror movies are forgotten after watching, and Kevin now has impressions of Japanese horror movies.

Of course, that's the same sentence, it doesn't mean the box office is high.

A purely Japanese-style horror film will appear too scary in the United States, which will affect the box office. This requires Wen Ziren's efforts.

It is his skill to adjust the advantages and disadvantages of both sides and shoot Japanese-style horror movies suitable for Americans.

There is not much to say about the plot of horror movies, just those routines back and forth.

In order to enhance the sense of substitution, under the reminder of Kevin, the template of Japanese horror films was borrowed, that is, some local horror legends.

Japan has a series of horror urban legends such as the girl with a rip.

The United States also has urban horror legends. Among these legends, after a series of careful selection, Wen Ziren finally chose the theme of clowns.

The story of the clown in the sewers.

It is similar to the clown returning to the soul, but compared to this kind of monster that can be defeated, it is under the shaping of Wen Ziren.

Monsters are invincible.

Kevin had already mentioned the monster universe with Wen Ziren, and the two hit it off.

Wen Ziren also knows the benefits of the movie universe to him as a director. Among other things, he can enjoy shooting horror movies.

You don't have to worry about your lack of filming.

However, Kevin said that as long as the first movie is successful, he will be the master of the subsequent horror film universe, counting the subsequent profit sharing, whether it is fame, status or money, he will have everything he should have.

Kevin's promise made him very motivated.

···

Watching movies always flies by so fast.

The content of the movie "Joker" is actually very simple. It is the story of a mysterious clown in a small town in the United States that does not exist in reality.

As for the background setting of the clown’s story, in Kevin’s words, it’s like the Drifting Monk in Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons.

A good man, because of a misunderstanding, was killed by the people in the small town as a criminal, and the good man was wronged and turned into an evil spirit. This is a very classic routine.

Ten years later, the soul of a good man turns into an immortal clown to come to revenge.

There is only one protagonist in the whole movie, and that is the clown.

A cruel, terrifying, and immortal clown.

It will kill everyone in this area who has done something that violates the taboo.

As for this setting, Kevin absolutely does not admit it. He is the result of discussions with Wen Ziren after communicating with Wen Ziren based on the ideas in some online novels in his previous life.

In short, the clown will kill everyone who meets certain conditions in this area.

As for this condition, after this movie, not all of them were revealed, but some ambiguous settings were made, leaving more room for the audience to discuss.

To put it bluntly, this whole movie is to create the image of a terrifying clown monster.

An undead monster with no emotion, according to certain fixed killing rules.

In the end, the protagonist and his party are temporarily safe by using the monster's killing rules, but everyone knows that this cannot completely avoid the monster's pursuit.

They must find a way to completely eliminate the monster.

But this is the second or third part to solve the problem.

If the movie earns more than 1000 million US dollars, then the sequel will continue to be filmed [-]%, if not, then it will naturally come to an end.

Continue to shoot other horror films that can be the beginning of the horror film universe.

"Not bad!"

After watching the movie, Kevin gave his own conclusion.

Whether the audience will buy it or not, even Kevin can't predict it 100%.

But what is certain is that this horror film, Joker, is a qualified horror film.
