Chapter 532: Guan Gong vs. Qin Qiong Mode
With the advent of Halloween, "Dungeon Siege" ushered in the second weekend after its release in North America, which is a schedule for horror films, not only "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" is coming again, but Hollywood's two famous horror characters, Jason and Freddy also appeared together.
"Texas Chainsaw Massacre" has nothing to say, the typical old wine in a new bottle, or the Hollywood plasma horror movie that rotten.
The latter concentrates Jason and Freddy, the two murderers, in the same movie, which is quite a horror version of the Avengers.
To this end, New Line Pictures specially invited horror film director Yu Rentai from Hong Kong City to take charge of the director.
This can be said to be a film that New Line Pictures has been planning for a long time.
As early as 1993, New Line Pictures bought the right to adapt and shoot the "Friday the Thirteenth" series of films, and from the very beginning, New Line wanted Jason, the big devil in "Friday the Thirteenth", to compete with Freddy, the ghost king in the company's "Ghost Street" series of films.
Putting the two killers in the "Ghost Street" series and the "Friday the 13th" series together can also greatly stimulate the curiosity of horror movie fans.
In some ways, a director who is from outside and has a lot of experience directing horror films is not necessarily a bad choice.
Before approaching New Line Pictures, Yu Rentai knew nothing about the "Friday the 13th" and "Ghost Street" series of films, and his unfamiliarity with Freddy and Jason was exactly what the producers were looking for, because reinterpreting old themes requires someone to bring new styles and new ideas.
Someone asked Ronan to watch a movie together, and Ronan specially chose this film.
"I think you're old enough, right?"
Standing at the entrance of a theater, Ronan asked Amanda Seyfried, who was wearing a baseball cap, "Can you handle a horror movie?"
Amanda Seyfried leaned close to Ronan and said, "You don't care about me at all, you forget my age. ”
Ronan patted his head and said with a smile, "What's the matter." ”
Amanda Seyfried followed after and asked, "How old am I this year?"
"Uh......" Ronan groaned slightly, but he couldn't remember clearly, so he had to say, "Sixteen?" or seventeen?"
Amanda Seyfried pouted slightly: "I'm going to be eighteen soon." ”
Ronan was not embarrassed and said, "You are all big girls." ”
"That's it!" said Amanda Seyfried, "you've said it to me at least ten times!"
"Yes?" Ronan doesn't remember, "Have you said it so many times?"
Amanda grabbed him by the arm and dragged him to the theater, saying as she walked, "Ronan, didn't you treat me as a friend?"
Ronan said seriously: "How is this possible? Amanda, I remember knowing you in 1998, when we were friends, and we are all old friends now. ”
The publicity for "Mean Girls" has begun, and Amanda Seyfried is taking time to go back to Los Angeles, look at the people around her, and point to a corner where no one is around: "You go buy tickets, I'll wait for you there." ”
Although there is sometimes a big difference between a celebrity's makeup and makeup removed, it is not completely unrecognizable, Ronan nodded, walked to the ticket office alone, and bought two movie tickets for "Freddy vs. Jason".
Amanda Seyfried watched Ronan line up, a slight smile on the corner of her mouth, she finally grew up before Ronan grew old.
Then, she scratched her face again, in the past six months or so, she has been busy with all kinds of things, and she has not seen Ronan a few times, and she can see that he is not as close to her as before.
First I made a movie, then I took various exams in the final stage of middle school, and I had to go to university, which gave me a headache when I thought about it.
Fortunately, the University of Southern California Film School was chosen.
Amanda Seyfried has heard a lot of rumors during this time, after all, Hollywood circles are not big, and no one will deliberately keep gossip and scandals secret.
Ronan is said to have a very unusual relationship with Scarlett Johansson and Anne Hathaway.
Michelle Williams, who once filmed "Human Eradication Project" together, told her that Anne Hathaway was struggling with how to tie Ronan to her side for a longer period of time because she could get more resources from it.
Amanda Seyfried wasn't interested in resources or anything like that, but she thought it would be best if she could revolve around Ronan if she didn't have so many messy women around her like she had just met.
After five years of hard work, I finally grew up, changed from an aircraft factory to a hot little beauty, and finally had the capital.
When Ronan returned from buying the ticket, Amanda Seyfried immediately caught up with him, grabbed his arm tightly again, and walked towards the ticket gate together.
"You know what?" Amanda said as she walked, "Ronan, I'm an alumnus with you now." ”
Ronan was curious: "Didn't you drop out of school?"
Amanda's unusually fair face is a little dark, Ronan's understanding of herself is still stuck in a few years ago, and she has been busy with work and college entrance examinations for more than half a year, and she has actually alienated the two to this extent?
After checking the tickets, the two entered the theater, came to the last row and sat down, Amanda said in detail: "When I told you before to drop out of school and want to concentrate on Hollywood, didn't you tell me that it is good to study more books and go to college?"
Ronan thought about it for a moment, and it seemed that he did say this to Amanda Seyfried, which is what he has always believed: "It's not a bad thing to read more books and learn more." ”
When I used to live on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, there was a period when the theory of the uselessness of reading was very popular, and many people spread the word that the best students in the class studied when they were young, and after graduation, they only worked for the students in the class who did not like to study the most.
There are certainly examples of this.
As for whether there is universality, it is estimated that discerning people are very clear.
A high degree of education can give people a higher starting point and greater development potential in the future.
It can even be said that going to university is the most common and effective way to get out of the caste.
Those who tout the uselessness of reading are guaranteed to be beaten up if someone tells him to drop their children out of school.
"I haven't contacted you much in the past six months, not because I forgot about you. Amanda quietly explained why this time suddenly disappeared: "I'm busy with exams, and it's not easy to get into a prestigious university. ”
Ronan realized what she meant by alumni and asked, "You got into USC?"
Amanda leaned over to Ronan and said, "USC Film School, majoring in filmmaking." ”
"We're really alumni. Ronan laughed and said, "Congratulations, Amanda. ”
Amanda Seyfried unconsciously raised her chin slightly, after all, she was a seventeen-year-old girl, and the girl's heart was a little proud: "You can come to USC Film School to play with me when you have time, and I will take you to revisit the old place." ”
Ronan replied, "Okay, I'll go when I have time." ”
Amanda stretched out a hand and put it in front of Ronan: "Phone!"
Ronan didn't know why, but he still took out his phone, unlocked it by the way, and put it in the palm of her hand.
Amanda found the log option, set the USC Film School as a daily log reminder, and gave Ronan his phone, saying, "So you won't forget." ”
Ronan put away his phone and said casually, "When did I forget what you said?"
Amanda revealed without hesitation: "You said you played with me several times, and every time I called you, you were busy with work. ”
Ronan coughed to hide his embarrassment: "I was really busy at the time. ”
Amanda was tempted to ask if she was busy dating Anne Hathaway and Scarlett Johansson, but she was a smart girl and knew that it would be very inappropriate to ask such a question, and even make Ronan very embarrassed, and then affect the relationship between the two.
A good girl can't make a male partner feel unnatural.
Without waiting for Ronan to say anything, Amanda pointed to the screen: "Here it is, let's watch the movie." ”
She stepped one hand over the arm of the chair, still holding Ronan's arm: "Borrow it, in case you are scared, I still have a support." ”
Ronan smiled: "You can use whatever you want." ”
The two horror monsters in Hollywood face off against each other directly on the screen, which is indeed full of highlights, and Freddie and Jason are both popular characters.
As far as horror films are concerned, Yu Rentai's shooting is definitely above the passing line, and it is not easy for this kind of plasma brainless horror film to reach above the passing line.
The action scenes are well shot, the decisive battle between the two murderers in the crystal lake, the night is dark and the water is blue, and the visual effects are first-class.
In terms of the interspersing of the three plots of narrative, action, and horror, there is also the priority of Hong Kong City horror films, and the sense of rhythm is very good.
In addition, the design of the two characters is also quite outstanding.
Agility is to strength, spirit is to matter, many mouths are to silence, and cunning is to the mentally retarded.
This film can also be regarded as a precedent for Hollywood's Guan Gong vs. Qin Qiong model.
Later, there will definitely be more similar films, such as the two monsters under Twentieth Century Fox - Alien and Predator.
As soon as the movie ended, Amanda wanted to take Ronan for supper, but before she could leave the theater, her mother's phone called.
"It's so sad. Amanda put away her phone and looked unhappy: "Mom said it was late, let me hurry home." ”
Ronan accompanied her out of the theater: "I'll send you." ”
Amanda nodded, followed Ronan across the street, went around to a nearby parking lot, and got into the Rolls-Royce Phantom parked at the door.
"Go to Santa Monica Valley. Ronan said to the driver, David.
Amanda said: "I'm going to participate in the promotion of "Mean Girls" tomorrow, so I have a little time tonight, and I wanted you to accompany me to see the night view of Los Angeles. ”
Ronan comforted, "There will be time later. He suddenly remembered something and asked, "Amanda, I remember you told me that you practiced singing?"
"yes. Amanda said simply: "Child models don't last long, and at that time I thought that singing was also a way. ”
Ronan asked, "Didn't you throw it away?"
Amanda said: "There have been exercises. ”
Ronan thought for a moment and said, "Keep it up, it may be used." ”
Amanda asked again, "You've been in Los Angeles all this time?"
Ronan shook his head: "The British royal family has a charity event and sent me an invitation, and I will go to London in a few days." ”
