Chapter 749: Look Who's Screaming ("Midnight Bell" Released)
"The rights to adapt this movie should have belonged to our DreamWorks!"
At the premiere of the American version of "Midnight Bells", Spielberg complained to Mr. Westwood.
In this regard, Mr. Westwood, who had turned into a ghost and had a lot of courage, laughed,
"Don't say that, Steven!"
He shook his head and said,
"It's just a remake of a Japanese movie! It's not a big production - business is business, so we don't need to hurt our feelings about it!"
"There's a bullshit relationship between us!"
Spielberg complained in his heart, but as a well-bred old Jewish man, he didn't say it after all.
Of course, this is also related to the identity of the other party -
As Spielberg complained in his heart, he had no friendship with Mr. Westwood.
When Spielberg was in Hollywood, Mr. Westwood, although he had already entered the industry, had been tossing some promising low-budget films on the new line.
- The two were not on the same level at all before, and they really didn't have any friendship.
However, things change after Mr. Westwood jumps to Ghost Party Studios -
Although the Ghost Party Studios is not like DreamWorks, it has set its sights on the top seven positions in Hollywood as soon as it was established, but with the power of Charlotte Booth, a super commercial director, it cannot be underestimated.
After all, even Spielberg has made less profitable or popular movies, while Charlotte Booth's movies only have the difference between making money and making more money.
So even if Spielberg is backed by DreamWorks, he can't treat Spectre Studios as an ordinary third-tier small production company.
And Mr. Westwood, in such a ghost party studio, has shown an ability that he didn't show at all in the new line before-
In the competition for potential film projects, this old guy who has been carrying heart medicine and looks like he may hang up at any time is unexpectedly strong.
Not to mention the "Lord of the Rings" series, which he directly pulled away from the new line, the adaptation rights of the Japanese film "Midnight Bell" were originally taken by Spielberg first, but they were taken away by Mr. Westwood.
This naturally made Spielberg a little indignant, so he complained today.
Of course, as Mr. Westwood said, such a small-budget film is not worth tearing their faces for at their level.
In fact, Spielberg is just talking.
The purpose of his coming to the premiere of "Midnight Bell" today is actually to see how the film is adapted.
After all, director Richard Arsenal, although he does not have a few works under his name, as an assistant director, his qualifications are quite deep.
- The name of the "old gun", Spielberg has also heard of it.
Not to mention, it is said that some of the shots in this movie were directed and shot by Charlotte Booth, the producer.
Although this was known as publicity by the crew of "Midnight Bell" to attract attention, it did arouse Spielberg's interest......
Compared with Spielberg, who is in a complicated mood and even comes with a certain picky mentality, Emily's movie-watching mentality is much more normal-
This girl is a veteran horror movie lover!
Even if she is a big fan of director Charlotte, it doesn't mean that Emily won't watch other movies.
In addition, this "Midnight Bell" is also produced by Ghost Party Studios, so Emily is still very interested.
However, Gianna, who was with her, was not in such a good mood -
"It's obvious that you want to watch horror movies to relieve the pressure of working at PwC, why do I want to come along!?"
Gianna grumbled quietly,
"I don't have any pressure to work!"
"You should stay with me! You don't have any new men lately anyway, do you?"
Emily shrugged,
"Then again, you've watched so many movies with me, are you still afraid of horror movies?"
"This ......"
Gianna was a little embarrassed.
It is said that as a reincarnation, after experiencing countless ups and downs in various movie worlds, Gianna's courage should be constantly growing.
But the opposite is true.
It's okay when I'm in the main god space, but in the real world, Gianna's guts have become smaller-
"No, it shouldn't be said that the guts have become smaller, it should be said that they have become more sensitive!"
Gianna defended herself in her heart,
"I'm in a situation like this, to some extent, like the kind of GIs who have just come down from the battlefield and have more sensitive nerves. 」
...... In short, Gianna still doesn't dare to watch horror movies.
If it's a horror-style movie like "Guillotine Valley", it's okay, but she still can't adapt to pure plasma horror films.
"However, watching the beginning of this movie, it doesn't seem to be so scary!"
After sitting in the screening room and watching for a while, Gianna was a little relieved.
However, she soon found out that she was still too young and naïve-
"Ahhh!!!hhh
Looking at the female ghost who was crawling out of the TV screen on the big screen, because the camera was facing the TV at this time, it was as if the female ghost had crawled out of the big screen directly.
- The strange and eerie crawling movement of the other party, coupled with the long black hair that covered most of the face, made Gianna can't help but scream in shock.
Fortunately, at this time, Gianna was not the only one screaming.
Not to mention the rest of the audience, even Emily, the horror film expert sitting next to Gianna, was also screaming loudly.
It's just that, unlike the others, Emily's screams are not only filled with fear, but also with a hint of excitement.
"This part is really scary!"
After screaming, Emily giggled and said to Gianna,
"The director is awesome here!"
"My bladder isn't that great!"
Gianna thought depressedly in her heart, writhing her ass uncomfortably,
"When I watch Ghost Party Studio's horror movies in the future, I must stop drinking before entering the theater!"
In fact, there are not a few exaggerated cases like Gianna.
Just like Scott, a self-proclaimed person who likes to rent horror movies and go home to watch them at midnight, he is also frightened by the footage of the female ghost crawling out of the screen this time.
"The realism of this shot is really strong, and with the foreshadowing of the previous plot, it's like the long-haired female ghost really crawled in front of me!"
Scott muttered to himself,
"I even have the illusion that the fingertips of a female ghost have touched my face, which is really amazing - I heard that there are several scenes in this movie that the great director Charlotte Booth helped shoot, I don't know if this one is it?"
As a horror movie enthusiast, Scott was well prepared before watching the movie.
However, as the story in the film continues to unfold, Scott soon runs out of ideas......
