Chapter 8 COOL, Chainsaw Horror!
I**! How do I think in such a short time! Can this first film be randomly chosen? In case you don't choose a good job, Lao Tzu will not be given a permanent surname!
Zhou Shaoming cried in his heart and wiped away tears.
The sound of the countdown in his head kept sounding like a urge, which made him finally cheer up and start preparing for the selection of films.
Okay, okay, let's rule out science fiction films first, most of these films are money-burning machines, I can't even get together $10,000 at the moment, don't want science fiction first!
The sci-fi icon in my mind slowly faded into a radiant golden light and disappeared.
Again, again exclude war films! It's not a big production, where can anyone watch it? Don't you blow up dozens or hundreds of cars these days, and a dozen or twenty buildings are called war movies? I can't afford that now!
Excluding romance movies and action movies, this kind of film is difficult to support without big-name stars, but big-name stars represent a lot of money! Zhou Shaoming thought in his heart, the icons of romance movies and action movies slowly disappeared.
Excluding other films, I don't want to make a top ten banned film or something, and the ending that can't be released is never lifted!
Now there are only thrillers and horror movies left, Zhou Shaoming's brain, which is heavily educated in love action movies, can't even figure out the difference between these two movies, in his opinion, these two types of films seem to be the same kind at all!
The countdown sound of the electronic female voice made Zhou Shaoming upset, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind and remembered the words of his original cheap father.
"In the United States, horror films are the easiest to succeed in small fights."
It is the easiest to succeed with a small broad! Aren't these the two elements you need most right now?
Choose a horror movie!
The icon of the horror film suddenly lit up in Zhou Shaoming's vicious curse, a classic horror film that is very familiar to itself, familiar to countless audiences, and has a large number of fans around the world, turned into countless data streams that rushed straight to his brain, thundering!
"TV drama horror!"
Saw is a 2004 horror film directed by James Win. The film, which took only 18 days to shoot, premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in January 2004. On October 29 of the same year, it was released around the world. In the end, it brought in a box office of 55.18 million US dollars in North America. Due to the success of the first part, a sequel was launched almost every year, and in the era that Zhou Shaoming traveled through, "Chainsaw" has come out to the seventh part!
This unusually successful horror film is not only very popular with audiences in North America, but even the Chinese Empire, which is far away from the ocean and has not been released at all, has a large number of fans, and people are obsessed with the shocking images of blood and the reflection on the attitude towards life after the show's masochistic madness.
"Most people live without knowing how to be grateful. But you won't, never."
"Life or death is in your hands!"
This is the famous quote of the founder of Chainsaw Door, and in this show, Tobin Bell's Oscar-worthy performance made the murderer deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
An unexpected ending, crazy beyond common sense!
This kind of flesh-and-blood killing game is different from previous horror films, such as classic movies such as "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" and "Ghost Street", it has its own unique rules, all the dead, in the final analysis, do not die at the hands of the jigsaw, but die on their own fear of death, and the jigsaw does not kill a game participant "with his own hands".
Judging from Forrest Gump's biography, what Americans have always promoted is a spirit of unremitting self-improvement. But this spirit is almost perverted in Saw Horror. One can't help but wonder if it comes from the fear of death that is completely above life.
For people who lose themselves in the colorful reality, it is a sublimation of spirit and flesh, although no one dares to really face it all.
Interestingly, the director of this Chainsaw is Chinese-American James Wing, and in this world, this very challenging movie was handed over to Zhou Shaoming, who is also Chinese!
It seems that there is a providence in the dark.
Storyboard scripts, production lists, cast lists, soundtracks, ideal camera graphics, storyboard diagrams, required material lists, and other information needed for a movie turned into countless data streams and rushed into his head, making him think that his head would explode immediately.
endured the pain, but there was a ecstasy in his heart, maybe a few minutes ago he felt that this blind and senseless insistence had made him lose face, and now, nothing can hit Zhou Shaoming's confidence.
"Cool, cool! This movie will definitely help me in my mission! In the cold wind and cold rain, Zhou Shaoming clenched his fists excitedly.
Complete the task of the directorial system and create a film work with a box office of 50 million US dollars, as if the volcano that had been sleeping for thousands of years finally erupted, like hot lava sweeping everything unscrupulously, he slowly straightened his body, looked at the golden sign of the New Line Film Company lightly, clenched his fists tightly, and slowly left.
The opportunity given by God must be firmly grasped! I can't let hope and dreams slip away from me! The director system that suddenly appeared in life, let me have the opportunity to complete the previous just extravagant hopes, just the basis of fantasy, although this guy is very ill-intentioned to let himself not lift, but as long as you dare to struggle, there will always be a time when the system is speechless! Zhou Shaoming's heart is full of high morale and struggle!
Hollywood in Los Angeles, the place where miracles happen, Zhou Shaoming began to put his dream into action.
For a whole day, Zhou Shaoming kept running around the major film companies, looking for their bosses, looking for the major tycoons who had smiled at him before, eager for someone to pull him along, give him a chance, and invest his huge sum of $1.5 million.
"Haha, are you mistaken? Or am I mistaken? Oh my God, you're going to make a movie!? ”
"I'm sorry, I don't think we're familiar enough to casually invest you $1.5 million."
"Jokes, jokes! You, the second ancestor, can still make movies as a swinger who can only spin in the fat powder pile? ”
"Your name has spread all over Hollywood, and the playboy who turned back from the prodigal son no longer likes women, he likes to make movies, and I think this theme can be put on the big screen! The main character is you! ”
"Our Mr. Director is not here."
"Hey, you're making me laugh in tears."
"Sorry man, the United States is a country full of dreams, but not you."
"Get out!"
Eight film companies, five major tycoons who have dealt with him before, no one is optimistic about this bad record, and will only look for flowers and ask Zhou Shaoming.
All kinds of ridicule and sarcasm, all kinds of disdain and surprise, made Zhou Shaoming seem to grow up in one day.
He learned to sit alone and smile amid the cynicism of others, and he learned to knock on the door before visiting in the midst of condescending insults and reproaches.
Some people will have serious lack of self-confidence and even inferiority in the face of rubbing, and some people will report themselves and give up on themselves, and they will be degraded and slump from then on, but Zhou Shaoming will not!
The more blows only brightened the eyes of the twenty-two-year-old boy, and the more malicious laughter only made his thin mouth tighter.
Far from being destroyed in the flood of attacks, the inner defense became stronger and stronger, unbreakable!
"I'm sorry, making movies is more than just a fantasy, and I don't think I can give you that chance." The middle-aged man in front of him said and began to bury his head in writing.
Zhou Shaoming stood up indifferently, strode to the middle-aged man's side, and stretched out his hand in a friendly manner: "Thank you Mr. Roth for the guidance I gave me, I have gained a lot in just a few minutes, but dreams come from perseverance, I think I will be able to do it!" ”
The middle-aged man raised his head, stretched out his hand with some hesitation, and shook hands with Zhou Shaoming.
Before walking out of the office, Zhou Shaoming looked back, nodded to the middle-aged man who saw him leave, and then turned around and left resolutely, but the words of self-talk to cheer himself up floated into the ears of the middle-aged man.
"Hold on, keep going."
The middle-aged man was slightly stunned, and then a smile of appreciation floated, but it was just a trace of appreciation, and it couldn't change anything at all.
When he returned home, he and Christina were speechless all night.
On February 8, Zhou Shaoming shuttled through various large and small film companies with more enthusiasm, and tried his best to contact the rich people he knew a little before, but he still failed.
Dragging his tired body and battered heart, he sullenly and still didn't say a word to Christina.
On February 9,
On February 10,
On February 11,
February 12th
Day by day!
No one is optimistic about Zhou Shaoming, no one is optimistic about his persistence and madness, only endless rejection and ridicule, only constant blows and disdain.
But Zhou Shaoming didn't give up, if he was lazy and extremely lascivious, the only advantage was persistence.
Of course, in the eyes of some people, he is not called persistent, but stupid.
Although he was devastated, Zhou Shaoming burst out with infinite strength, no matter how tired and sad he was when he got home every night, but when the sun rose the next day, Zhou Shaoming was full of courage, picked up the self-esteem that was trampled on the ground, and shouted hard work, struggle! Rushing out of the house again and again.
The only thing to be happy about is that Christina who was kidnapped at home is becoming more and more familiar, from not saying a word at the beginning, to being able to talk a few words about something.
