It is an informal association of movie geeks who specialize in horror and thriller films, founded by Alan Jones, a professional writer and film historian for the well-known magazine "Complete Cinema".

Although they are not famous at the moment, Sid knows that in their little-known little association, there are not only horror film giants like James Winray Warner, but also other members of the group, including Alexander Aya, the director of "Eyes in the Mountains", and Eli Rose, the director of "Human Skin Inn".

Of course, except for Wen Ziren, the other European and American members are lovers of traditional plasma tablets.

And in addition to these official members, Alan Jones also brought in well-known directors Quentin Tarantino and Guillermo del Toro as directors.

Needless to say, the former is also one of the three Mexican heroes who made "Pan's Labyrinth", "Hellboy" and "Blade 2".

So this little association, among horror film and plasma film lovers, still has a certain reputation.

And Sid would know about them, purely because of his concern for James Win.

"What is a modern style horror film for you?" asked Sid with interest.

Hearing Sid's question, James Wyn couldn't help but straighten his back, he had come to interview Sid for an assistant job until today, but he didn't expect Sid to be so approachable to discuss movies with him, and it was also the horror film he prided himself best at.

"I think in the 21st century, if we want to innovate in horror films, we have to be extreme. James Wynn cleared his throat and said, "The so-called 'extreme' is to make something different from the past in terms of visual impact and story pacing." ”

"Visually, we shouldn't be satisfied with just stimulating the audience with plasma. And storytelling, it shouldn't stop at the cliché of horror for horror's sake. ”

"Not bad. Listening to James Win's innovative words, Sid couldn't help but smile and nodded.

Seeing Sid's affirmation, James Wynn couldn't help but be secretly happy in his heart, he paused and continued: "Classic genre films such as "The Exorcist" and "Phalanx of Different Dimensions", although classic and legendary, are too old for modern audiences. ”

"So if we want to innovate a new, good horror film, then we need to pick out the good elements and take them to the extreme, so that the audience can see what they have never seen before. Only in this way can the horror genre films that have begun to be stale be saved. ”

After saying this, James Wynn suddenly looked at Sid opposite with some trepidation, it was really a very risky thing to make a big deal in front of a genius director like Sid, but he didn't want to give up this rare opportunity.

But Sid showed a faint smile, Wen Ziren's words just now, weren't they exactly what he and Ray Warner did in the neodymium work "Chainsaw"?

The refreshing trap sandman, the excellent plot of the loop and brain-burning, and the big reversal at the end that shocked everyone's jaws. It is precisely because of the convergence of so many outstanding elements that "Chainsaw" can break out of the encirclement of many plasma horror films, and establish James Win's status as the "father of chainsaw" in the industry in one fell swoop.

"James, have you ever made a movie on the crew?" asked Sid.

"Nope. James Wing shook his head, if his good friend Ray Warner was a TV presenter for a few days when he was still in Australia, and he played soy sauce for a few days in "The Matrix 2".

Then he's really a rookie.

"Then you will be my film assistant from today onwards. Sid made up his mind and said, "Also, like Ray (Werner), you will also join the crew of "The Departed" as an assistant director." Although you learned a lot in school, the way the official Hollywood crew works is different from textbooks and other places, and you need to learn a lot. ”

"Yes, no problem, sir. James Wynn nodded happily, he couldn't be overjoyed to be recruited to Sid so easily.

"Also, the idea of traditional plasma tablets that you just mentioned is very good, and Ray and I have discussed this aspect of the problem. But having a good idea is not the same thing as being able to make a good horror movie. How about you and Ray [Werner] try to write a horror movie?"

"Huh, is that okay?" asked James Win, surprised.

"Of course. Sid smiled and nodded, "Horror films are the best type of low-budget experiments, I can make my first horror film at the age of sixteen, why don't you have the guts?"

At this time, James Wing remembered Sid's famous work in the film industry, isn't it the pseudo-documentary horror film "Ghost Shadow"? This pseudo-documentary with almost no ghosts from beginning to end is uncharacteristically and completely abandoning the traditional plasma style of Europe and the United States, and instead scaring the audience half to death with a thriller and horror atmosphere?

Moreover, isn't it said that a female audience member was really scared into the hospital at that time?

For the person concerned, this may be an unpleasant thing, but for a horror film director, is it indeed the highest honor that cannot be replaced?

"Okay, I see, Boss. I'll talk to Ray [Werner]. James Wynn nodded firmly.

With the addition of Wen Ziren and Ray Warner, the "Chainsaw Daddy", Sid's long-planned third plan, the horror film project, can finally be started.

As comparable to the "DV Film Project" and "Song and Dance Film Project", horror films have always been Hollywood's enduring and long-lasting films.

In today's Hollywood, low-budget comedies are the magic weapon for many studios to stay afloat, such as the previous "When Harry Met Sally", this year's "BJ's Single Diary", and the future "Wedding Aoke", "Love Notebook" and "Time and Space Traveler".

They are not only acclaimed and popular love masterpieces, but also Archimedes' leverage that can leverage hundreds of millions of box office at a cost of one or two million.

First of all, companies such as New Line and Universal regard them as the company's magic weapon.

The traditional horror films are clichéd because they are out of touch with the times, although the attribute of small cost has not changed, but it has temporarily disappeared in Hollywood with small and large.

Except for Sid's "Ghost Record" series, Hollywood has rarely seen a stellar horror film in recent years.
