Chapter 018: Wrong Turn

As a horror film, "Fatal Bend" is not a big production, and its reputation is also average. In fact, except for a few horror films such as "The Silence of the Lambs", most horror films have a very average reputation, and horror films, as a special genre film, have a large audience in North America, but the film critics have never been very interested in them.

Although many big directors are from horror films, once they achieve positive results, they rarely return to this theme. Even David Fincher, a cute film director who has been thrilling audiences for decades, is essentially closer to thriller literature than traditional bloody horror.

Before Charlotte crossed over, as a spell house, she had read countless movies (don't think about it), although it was not counted, but there were really many horror thriller movies that she had seen. Although he remembers more about "Fatal Bend", it is the dew plot in it, but after all, it is a series that has been filmed for four or five films, and he still has a lot of impressions. Because of this, he finally recognized the script left by his predecessor.

"This is indeed the plot of "Fatal Bend", could it be that the script of this movie was written by my predecessor? Remember, not to mention, the release time of this movie is 2,000 years later......

He rubbed his forehead with a headache,

"But this is not certain, the script has been backlogged for several years or even more than ten years and cannot be made into a movie, which is actually a very normal thing in Hollywood. And when it came time for the official shooting, the original author couldn't get the screenwriter's name at all because the script had already been sold, and it was not without ...... Now the question is, is the script conceived by the predecessor "Fatal Bend" or not?"

Charlotte scrutinizes the memories extracted from her predecessor's soul and compares them with her own. Although it cannot be said that it is exactly the same, more than half of the similarities are still there. And considering the transition process from the script to the movie, this degree of similarity can already be said to be quite high.

"It doesn't look like you've achieved nothing in your life, Charlotte!

On a whim, he simply took advantage of the freshness of his ex's memories that he had just extracted and wrote the script directly.

- During this time, because he continued to use the soul to extract the memories of his predecessor, he also mastered a lot of his predecessor's various abilities. Although it can't be said that it is easy to write a script, it can still be said that it looks like it. Similarly, he also has a lot of knowledge about the model making and scene layout in the movie, of course, more on paper.

"The only thing that has been practiced and really mastered is the method of drugged a girl's wine! Is this not easy to learn, and if you learn badly, you will feel ashamed to think about it!"

While laughing at herself, Charlotte wrote the script at the same time. Just writing and writing, he suddenly found that the content he wrote was closer to the "Fatal Bend" he had seen before crossing over than the memory Charlotte had left him.

"But that's nothing, right? Anyway, compared to his previous idea, the plot of that movie is more mature. That's an optimization, isn't it?"

He justified himself,

It's just that even if it's "Fatal Bend", to a greater extent, it doesn't rely on the plot but on blood and curiosity to win! This can be regarded as a major feature of European and American plasma horror films that distinguish them from Japanese and Korean psychological horror films. โ€

- As for Chinese horror films? Horror movies where ghosts can't even appear, you better wash and sleep!

"The "Fatal Bend" in my memory, although it is not bad as a plasma film, but at most it is just a good degree. Judging from the first half alone, the director also has the intention of deliberately forming a suspenseful and terrifying atmosphere, but the result is very unsuccessful, not to mention the feeling of psychological horror at all, and it also makes the rhythm of the first half of the film very slow and procrastinating, which should be said to be a failure for horror films with the goal of stimulating people's senses. And in the final climax stage, the speed of the plot has become too fast, and the terrifying mutant who took more than 80 minutes to create in the front is only laid down in four or five minutes in the back, to put it mildly, it is premature ejaculation at all!"

- The foreplay is too long, and premature ejaculation...... Why do you feel that your evaluation results smell obscene?

Charlotte shook her head.

He also knows that his evaluation is actually a bit harsh, and "Fatal Bend" is actually quite good as a horror film. He thinks that the serious problem is that on the one hand, there is the problem of insufficient thickness of the script itself, and on the other hand, I am afraid that it is more due to post-editing.

In Hollywood, except for a few big directors, ordinary directors do not have the final editing rights. In the case of this film, for example, the director may have prepared a lot of shots for the transition and climax, but if the editor dismisses it in the final cut, then the audience will not be able to see these shots in the end, and it will be no different from throwing a blind man with a wink.

The most extreme example of this is Ridley Scott's "Kingdom of Heaven", although I can't say how good his director's cut is, but it's much better than the official version edited by Fox in defiance of his opinions.

In fact, many movies have become bad movies, and they are all related to editing. But on the other hand, the poor editing has a lot to do with the director's insufficient shooting level. After all, if the shots that convey the director's intent are the best parts of the film, then the editor, as long as he is not blind, will not be the evil scissorhands......

"Ahhhh

Charlotte rubbed her face vigorously, hoping to bring her thoughts, which had diverged to the point of crookedness, back on track.

"Regardless of the bullshit grudges between the director and the editor, as for my predecessor's conception of this script that is very similar to "Fatal Bend", should I write it exactly according to his intentions? Or should ......I make another revision according to my own feelings? Or just copy "Fatal Bend"? Ahhhh

"Hey, no! How can there be such a mother's plan!?I'm not in love, and I'm not a damn lady of the Camellias!!"

Charlotte was a little desperate to put her head on the tabletop, although it was a bit silly to look reflected in the mirror in front of her, but considering that there was no one else in the room but himself, it didn't matter. Untilโ€”

"Knock knock!"

Because the door of Charlotte's rental apartment was relatively old, there was no doorbell installed at all, so every time someone visited, they could only hear a disturbing knock on the door.

"Who!?"

Anyone who is disturbed when their brain is knotted will not have a good attitude, and Charlotte is naturally no exception. He pushed away his chair and stood up in a rueful manner, ready to open the door, when a clear female voice came from outside the door:

"Takeaway!vomit, outside the Cheesecake Factory, takeaway!!"

"I've never heard of a restaurant where drunks deliver takeaways!"

Charlotte opened the door with an unkind face, he could already hear from the voice who was coming,

"And the Cheesecake Factory doesn't have a delivery service at all! You've been working there for so long, don't you even know that?"

Standing in the doorway was a smiling blonde girl, Charlize Theron. She was leaning in the doorway, dressed in Cheesecake Factory overalls, holding a paper bag in one hand that looked like it was supposed to be food, and a bottle of wine in the other.

- This Nima's painting style is wrong!

"Why are you drinking like this again?"

Before Charlize could speak, a choking smell of wine came to her face, and Charlotte unconsciously fanned herself, with a look of disgust,

"Didn't I tell you the old Chinese saying! Wine is poison that pierces the intestines!! Besides, even Budweiser, I've never heard of drinking a non-alcoholic beer like Rubier to get drunk!"

"Yes, yes, you said, you are right!"

Charlize's speech was a little slurred, she pushed away Charlotte, who was blocking the door, and staggered inside,

"Wine is poison that pierces the intestines, color is a steel knife that scrapes bones, wealth is the root and seedling of trouble, and gas is thunder and smoke artillery!"

Probably thanks to Charlotte's many popularity, although these Chinese blonde girls can't say it, the meaning is very clear,

Van Helsing, you can catch ghosts, but you can't be an ascetic! Even in the Vatican, this is no longer popular! andโ€”"

She raised the bottle in her hand,

"This is for you! I don't drink non-alcoholic beer!"

- Charlize after being drunk, the fierce aura of the female man can be seen at a glance.

"I prefer kvass to pure non-alcoholic beer like Rubier. โ€

In the face of Charlize's contempt, Charlotte was not angry. He had already experienced the blonde girl's thorny personality, and knew that once she got the alcohol bonus, she would enter a state of rage, and her fierce spirit would be pouring out.

"I don't like to drink too much, but I'm okay with Kvass at this level. โ€

"Isn't it just 0.5% higher? What's the difference!?"

Charlize looked disdainful,

"This kind of thing is a shame for Russia! If it's a man, he should drink Vodka!

- It's Ulla!

Although I want to complain, but if you think about it carefully, "KUMA" is indeed very suitable for Russian woolly bears, not to mention, blonde girls who were born in South Africa and do not have a trace of Slavic blood represent Russia without authorization, so what is there to complain about in a sentence of "KUMA"?

Charlotte always felt that since she exorcised Charlize, the fierce side of her personality has become more and more obvious, is this a wrong turn?!
