Chapter 164: Finalizing the Script
"Kobe? Are you going to make a movie? "Jack Nelson is very curious, movies are not a joke, especially Kobe Bryant actually has to be a director.
"Yes, can you put me in touch with the crew? I need a photographer, an editor, a factory clerk, a makeup artist. Kobe Bryant thought about it, this film doesn't need a big production, as long as the cast and crew are in place, filming can start immediately!
"No problem man, this is Los Angeles, this is Hollywood. These guys are all over the place, and I'll recommend you a few good guys. By the way, what movie are you going to make, tell me about it? ”
"Ghost movie, a horror film that will subvert the history of movies, I will show you the script in the past two days."
"Okay, no problem man. Also, do you need to arrange auditions for actors? Are you sure you only need two leading actors and two supporting roles? Nelson couldn't figure out Kobe's thoughts, but he was willing to play with his little brother, so why not do it?
"Yes, Jack. You see the script and you understand. ”
"Okay, I'll wait at home for your script."
Bryant hung up the phone and began to write the script. The script is not complicated, and the filming can be completed in just a few days of events. It didn't take much effort, mainly because the rendering of the plot and environment was the reason why this horror film took the country by storm.
The movie he wants to make is a masterpiece that cost only 15,000 US dollars to produce and finally received 20 million US dollars at the box office! It's the best in the history of independent films!
What kind of story can make the United States, where the film and television industry is so developed, refreshing and scrambling to contribute to the box office?
First of all, there is no real supernatural creature in the whole movie, but the impact of this supernatural creature is everywhere.
Human fear often stems from the unknown.
Just like many people watch American dramas like "The Walking Dead", the zombie picture is very bloody and terrifying, but the audience does not feel afraid. Because they know zombies and know their specifics.
The film that Kobe Bryant wanted to shoot was the complete opposite, and the supernatural creatures didn't really show up throughout the movie. This leaves a lot of room for the audience's imagination, people's imagination is often the most terrifying, and the content imagined by the audience is the most terrifying and exciting part of this movie.
Secondly, the film was shot in the form of a pseudo-documentary. It seems to make the audience immersed in the scene and be able to feel the authenticity of the story.
It's as if this is an ordinary American family, like most people, a videotape shot independently. In the United States, where the photography industry is developed, every household does have the habit of shooting movies with DV, which echoes reality and makes the audience feel very immersed, and they will feel that they are really watching a real story, not a movie.
This kind of filming in the form of pseudo-documentary is also unseen in this era. This technique is bound to cause a sensation in the film and television industry.
Kobe Bryant began to write the script, because he didn't know much about the specific writing of the movie script, he planned to find a professional to polish and process after writing, write the story first, and then discuss it with the professional screenwriter after the storyboard.
The story is about a couple who finally move into their long-awaited big house in the suburbs, but there is no trace of joy in their faces, because they are increasingly horrified to find that there seems to be something indescribable and invisible in this house.
At midnight, when they were half-asleep and half-awake, there was all sorts of strange movement in the house.
When night falls, there are always some strange noises and movements in the house. It was as if the floor was creaking, and it was as if something that had been placed the night before had been put in place the next morning and had been in a different place when I got up the next morning.
It's as if there is an invisible hand, an invisible person. Every late at night, they start to wander around their house...
The couple invited a medium, and the medium said that he could only be responsible for communicating with ghosts, but the existence here was not a ghost but a devil, so he left a phone number from an exorcist and left quickly.
The bold male protagonist decided to buy a few cameras and put them in key places in the house to see what was going on and record all kinds of supernatural events.
In this way, the audience will have a sense of substitution, and the pictures they see are exactly the shooting scenes of the male protagonist in the house, one by one.
As the story progresses, there are windless automatic chandeliers, small objects that move, doors that open and close automatically, and terrifying sounds. These scenes that many people will also experience in their own lives are reminiscent of themselves.
Night after night, there will be some supernatural events every night. And the camera also recorded this scene, and the audience will feel the panic of the male and female protagonists in the face of these supernatural events as if they had experienced it themselves.
With the gradual escalation of the supernatural event, the male and female protagonists began to panic, and they invited an exorcist, but the exorcist said that the incident had developed to the point that even he couldn't control it, and then simply fled the scene.
The male owner bought a disc fairy plate.,Try to communicate with an unknown creature.,The disc fairy plate spontaneously combusted without wind.,Unknown words emerged.。 All kinds of incredible images that seem to appear in our dreams will evoke the deepest fears in the audience, and at this time, the atmosphere of horror and realism has been created.
After repeatedly searching for information, the male and female protagonists finally figured out the meaning of this text. There was also a woman who suffered such an incident in the 60s of the last century. It says don't try to get rid of me, and if you guys do, I'm going to be very angry and angry.
The heroine begins to sleepwalk, gets up at night, and wanders inside and outside the house. The male owner found out about this.,But the female owner seems to have changed a person.,Unwilling to listen to the male owner's words and go back to bed to rest.。 At the same time, the male protagonist tried to sprinkle flour in the house and found the footprints of unknown creatures.
After a thrilling night, they saw devilish footprints, followed the footprints, and they also found a childhood photo of the heroine, placed in the attic. The heroine is very strange, because this photo is supposed to be in her hometown, thousands of kilometers away from here.
Then came the final moment, the camera showed that the supernatural creatures began to make movements even during the day, and there were movements and panic caused by the supernatural creatures everywhere, as if it was everywhere, but from the camera, there was no image of its existence.
The heroine had signs of being bitten, and at the same time she said that she felt something blowing on her neck.
Finally, it was the night of the 21st night.
The camera in the bedroom is facing the protagonist's bed, and the sleeping heroine seems to be dragged downstairs from the quilt by an invisible person, followed by a scream.
The male protagonist who heard the scream hurriedly went downstairs to check, and he couldn't see anything in the camera, and he could only hear a scream.
"Bang!"
Then the body of the male protagonist was thrown in front of the lens of the bedroom camera.,Then the female protagonist walked slowly to the camera covered in blood.,Strange eyes stared at the camera.,Smiled slightly.,Cut off her head with a knife.。
