Chapter 254: Japanese-style horror movie
"Actually, I think they should have waited." Katie was snuggling up in Sean's arms and looking through the newspaper when she said this, and the news in the entertainment edition clearly wrote that the Sundance Film Festival had ended, and the previously controversial "The Believer" starring Sean won the feature film award.
Although the temperature outside is not high, the heating in the room is sufficient, so she is wearing a thin shirt on her upper body, and the two points of bulge on her chest are so obvious, and the alluring spring light is basically unobstructed. In addition, there is only one pair of bottoms on the lower body, and two legs that are not very long but very well-proportioned are across Sean's body, which looks very sultry.
"It doesn't matter, my dear, even if it wins the feature film award, the box office of this film will not make a qualitative leap." Sean, who was grinding around her ear, said, and at the same time a hand reached through her neckline, grasping one of the seductive softness.
"Alright, Sean......" Katie struggled embarrassedly, "I didn't ...... until I woke up in the morning."
Although he didn't finish speaking, the soft tone and slightly red face meant something.
"Okay, okay, listen to you." Sean smiled and kissed her on the back of the neck, then squeezed it lightly before withdrawing his hand, causing Katie to roll her eyes in disgust.
But she didn't say anything more, but changed the subject: "Weishenme is so sure? You know, there's been a lot of controversy about the film lately, and there are several Jewish groups who believe that the film is an insult to them. ”
"Don't mess with me," Sean immediately slapped her on the buttocks, "As long as anyone who has watched the movie knows, this kind of accusation is not justified at all, and the crew has already clarified this matter, and it subsided a few days ago, you still tease me with this?" Looks like I should teach you some impressive lessons, Katie! ”
The girl in her arms first snorted in pain, then looked at him with a disgruntled mouth, and then shrunk her neck under his threat, making a look of grievance: "I just want to know, with you helping them attract so much attention, weishenme can't make a qualitative leap?" ”
Speaking of this, she changed her words: "Do you think that if you don't win an award at the Golden Globe Awards before, it will have an impact on this?" ”
Although it was just an ordinary question, it was clear from Katie's faintly flavorful tone that her real purpose was definitely not this. As Sean had predicted, although he was nominated for the Golden Globe for his outstanding performance in "Dance of Death Row Inmates", he did not win anything at the previous awards ceremony on January 20. In any case, Sean's qualifications are still shallow, and he doesn't think it's necessary to take out money for public relations for the time being, so it's certain that he won't be on the list.
However, because he was shortlisted for "Dance of Death Row Prisoners", he had to meet with Harley, so you can imagine how interested the media would be, not to mention that he and she also took a group photo in front of the media wall.
This is actually not a big deal, although the previous scandal has been circulated, but because there are no photos, and it is clarified quickly, not many people believe it, plus the impact of the fake photos when the scandal with Julia was passed on last time, so even if the media took a photo of the two, it doesn't mean anything.
As for Hallie, although she was a little unhappy at the time, she didn't pay attention to it now, and even a little happy.
"Originally, I was a little hesitant, but this scandal prompted me to make a choice." That's what she said, and her smile was very comfortable, obviously telling the truth, and Sean naturally put his mind at ease.
Of course, whether anyone believes it or not, there will still be gossip about Sean and Harley after the Golden Globes, and the tabloids rely on this to attract attention. And Katie must have seen it on the Internet or in the newspaper, so she was so tempting, although Sean explained it to her when the scandal was rumored, although she didn't believe it much because there were no photos, but women often try it like this, and at this time, it's a habitual problem, anyway, as long as it doesn't get off the line.
"Of course not," since he knew her thoughts, Sean naturally wouldn't do what she wanted, "You know, the box office of a movie mainly depends on whether it looks good, and the audience doesn't care so much about artistry, and "The Believer" is too artistic, and it is destined to only be liked by the niche, in this case, let alone me starring, even if it is Brad?" Peter...... Or even Tom? Cruise will not have too high a box office when he comes to starring. ”
"But aren't you still investing?" Katie immediately looked surprised.
"I didn't think I'd get it back in the first place." Sean smiled.
"You're so generous." Katie blinked and laughed, then froze for a moment, then realized that he was changing the subject.
However, just as she wanted to pull the topic back and continue to probe, she clamped her legs like an electric shock, and her face flew red again.
"Wait...... Wait, Sean ......" Katie twisted her hips to avoid his hand that pulled open her panties and sneaked down her groin, not knowing that her pitiful appearance would only make Sean want to continue.
"Alright, Katie, sit down obediently." Sean gently bit down on her delicate ear, "There's something I want to tell you. ”
"What...... What's up? Katie asked, "First...... Shall you stop first? ”
"You know, I have a production company that is expanding, and I might have several films going on this year. One of them is a horror film that I bought from Japan and remakes, and I think this movie will be very distinctive, so I want you to play the heroine, so remember to set aside a schedule. Sean blew in her ear, said quickly without giving her a chance to speak, and the movements of his hands sped up a lot.
"You ...... I...... Good...... All right...... I promise...... I promise you......" Katie, who was teased a little by the six gods, agreed in such a vague way.
It's a pity, even so, there is still no way to make Sean stop, so in the end, the two lingered in the living room for a while before they stopped, although Katie recovered and was coquettish, putting on a very angry look, but unfortunately it had no effect in front of the cheeky Sean, and as for agreeing to play the role, it was naturally decided.
The horror film that Sean found in Japan was naturally "The Grudge", and before that Naomi was killed by Nicole? Kidman recommended the heroine of the American version of "Midnight Bell", he remembered another Japanese horror film with the same name as "Midnight Bell", and it seems to have been remade by Hollywood, so he immediately asked people to go to Japan to buy the remake rights, and planned to let Katie play the heroine.
Since the box office of the movie should be good, then of course you should use your own woman, even if you don't have much reputation, it is good to use it to accumulate qualifications.
It's just that he doesn't know how "The Grudge" should be pronounced in English, so Zuihou can only tell the people who sent him the general storyline - well, it's not a general plot, just some background settings. So in addition to that, Sean also wrote two Chinese characters for the curse, thank God, no matter how those Japanese leave Europe and enter Asia, they still have to use Chinese characters.
Even so, it took a lot of effort for the people sent to find something suspicious at the beginning of this year, and the so-called suspicious means that it sounds like the horror movie that Sean confessed, but there are many places that don't match. At this time, it is natural that the relevant situation can only be sent back and let Sean make a decision, and Sean only learned at this time that the movie version of "The Grudge" has not yet come out.
Well, it can't be said that it hasn't come out yet, how to describe it? To be exact, the finished product of this horror film was available in 00, but it was very short, and it was released in the form of a videotape, but it was quite well received after the release, so the director shot another short film, which was also very popular after the release, and when Sean sent someone, the director had just released the third short film in the series, and it still received a lot of praise.
Although the plot of these three short films is simple, they meet Sean's requirements in several places, such as the cursed house, which will die if anyone lives in it, or the house has two ghosts, a woman and a child, and the woman was killed by her own husband, etc. There is no doubt that this should be the Japanese horror film that Sean wants, especially when he sees the director's name, although there are a few things mixed in between the three kanji that I don't know if it's hiragana or katakana, but the three characters of Shimizu Chong still awaken a lot of detailed memories.
Then, after learning in detail, after knowing that he had also worked as an assistant to the director of the Japanese version of "Midnight Bell" Hideo Nakata, he immediately asked not only to quickly instruct him to buy the remake rights, but also to let him direct.
Sean vaguely remembers that Japan's "Curse" and the American version of "The Grudge" seem to be directed by Shimizu Chong, so this deal is too cost-effective, very simple, if you go directly to the American version of "The Grudge", without the Japanese version of "The Grudge" before consuming the enthusiasm of Japanese and even Asian audiences, then the American version will definitely be more eye-catching and earn more, isn't it?
The next thing is much simpler, as a rookie director, Shimizu Chong, heard that a Hollywood film company wanted to buy the remake rights of his short films, not only to expand it into a long story, but also to invite him to be the director, naturally he was stunned.
No one wants to go to Hollywood for development, Japan and South Korea, Hong Kong and Taiwan, mainland China, etc., without exception, because it is the center of the Shijie film industry, and it is definitely a great honor to be able to gain a foothold there. Even so, Shimizu Chong didn't faint with joy, and deliberately asked his teacher Hideo Nakata for advice, and then won 2 in North America after knowing that he invited his reincarnation pictures to produce a low-budget aiqing comedy last year. After 700 million box office and became the highest-grossing aiqing comedy in North America of all time, even though the company was newly established, he still agreed.
Luck is really good, but it's still early to officially start filming, not to mention that Shimizu Chong doesn't have an official complete script, and even if there is, it will have to be taken to Hollywood to make a certain degree of correction to meet the aesthetics of North American audiences.
However, Reincarnation Pictures has time, and Sean never thought about letting "The Grudge" be released this year.
