Chapter Thirty-Six: A New Genre of Horror Films
After not eating, she Chen Yanan wanted to see what was so magical about this tree man that she dared to hand over the script of the short film that only took one day to create.
One day?
Ordinary screenwriters can't even figure out the initial creative part in a day, let alone the script and outline.
"If this tree man really dares to fool me, then not only him, but even Zheng Yi recommended by him, I will not be hired."
"After all, people are divided into groups......"
Chen Yanan didn't say much, opened the email, downloaded the document, and immediately checked it.
The beginning of the story is very simple, if you follow the original plot of the old movie, the first thirty minutes are setting off the atmosphere, and even the main scene is not there.
And the young lady who looked like the heroine at the beginning went offline soon after she arrived in the main scene, which is completely inconsistent with the aesthetic logic of modern people.
Therefore, Zheng Yi has made revisions to greatly simplify this part.
"A woman who is in dire need of money has absconded with a huge amount of money."
"Walking on the path, after a tiring journey, she was so tired that she couldn't stop or rest."
At this point, the Bates Inn, which was in front of her, became her only choice.
Bates Inn.
The name of the hotel is resounding in Hollywood.
It's because of the masterpiece "Psycho".
And a TV station also launched an American drama called "Bates Hotel" in 2013, with a total of five seasons, and its content is the original "Psycho" prequel.
Judging from this beginning alone, Chen Yanan felt mediocre.
"As soon as I entered the Bates Inn, the owner of the inn, a young man, immediately greeted me."
"Since the highway was diverted, business at the Bates Inn has been very quiet, so the man is very welcoming to the few customers who come."
Not only did he introduce the facilities of the hotel to her, but he also invited her to dinner.
"I can't resist being gracious, the young lady went to the banquet, and learned about the family background of the male host at dinner."
"His father died young, and his mother raised him alone, and although he remarried, unfortunately the second husband also passed away soon after."
"This made my mother, who was already in poor health, extra dependent on the man, so this young man with a very kind smile almost never went out."
"And his mother is extremely controlling over him!"
"After the meal, the young lady went back to the room to change clothes and bathe."
"And at this moment, on one of the walls of the room, an eye was peeping."
"That kind young man actually did such a perverted act!"
The woman didn't know it, and went straight to the bathroom, and just as she was enjoying the comfort brought by the hot water, a curly-haired woman's figure slowly approached......"
"Ah!!h
"The shower curtain was pulled open."
"One, two, three......"
"A woman's blood flows down the drain with the hot water of the shower, and with the blood, there is a woman's life!"
Soon after, a man's exclamation came from the back room.
"No, Mother, no, blood, it's all blood, what did you do!"
The man who hurried to the room saw only the cold corpse of the woman.
Seeing this, Chen Yanan frowned.
He's dead?
Just dead?
It's normal for horror movies to die, but it's too ordinary.
It is clear that the man's mother is extremely controlling and kills the woman who "seduced" her son to death.
The logic is ordinary, and the content is uninteresting.
Could it be that the Treants are really fooling themselves?
Chen Yanan's heart gradually sank, but she still looked down patiently.
After all, I've seen it all, so let's finish it.
"A few days later, the woman's sister met and talked with the woman's boyfriend, and they both found that the young lady had been missing for many days, which was extremely suspicious."
Immediately, they hired a private detective, and soon the clues led the detective to the Bates Hotel.
"The detective who entered the inn, like the woman before him, met the amiable man."
"After some conversation, he was about to go upstairs to investigate, but at that moment, a woman burst out with a knife and brutally killed her as she had slaughtered women before."
Dead again.
Could it be that this tree man thinks that dead people are a means of terror, which is too low-level?
"The detective died, my sister and her boyfriend couldn't sit still, and they had to find the town where the Bates Hotel was located."
"But I learned from the sheriff that the hotel was run by a man, and his mother had died ten years ago!"
Kindness?
Chen Yanan, who saw this, was stunned.
Wrong!
The sheriff's message contradicted what had been written in the previous book.
This sentence completely aroused her curiosity.
Could it be that there is something strange about this story?
Chen Yanan originally thought that he had figured out the story, but at this moment, he felt that he had completely entered an unknown territory.
"The sheriff agreed to search the Bates Inn."
"At this time, in the Bates Hotel, the man was talking to his mother in the room."
"Mother, I beg you, go and hide in the basement, as long as you avoid their investigation, it's fine, please!"
"No, I'm not going, I'm not going to that cold, damp basement!"
Although the woman was adamantly opposed, the man carried the mother to the basement and hid her.
"Sure enough, the police didn't find anything, and my sister and boyfriend had to enter in person."
"The boyfriend attracts attention, while the sister sneaks into the man's room."
"At this time, my sister found that the house was very exquisitely furnished, and there were two beds, one large and one small."
"Who is in the same room, man or mother?"
"This room reveals this weirdness everywhere, and my sister feels more and more frightened."
"After some exploration, my sister finally found the hidden basement."
As soon as she entered, she found the old woman sitting in a rocking chair with her back to the door.
"Mrs. Bates?"
My sister asked tentatively, but received no response.
She cautiously stepped forward, put her hand on the arm of her chair, and turned the chair.
"Ah!!h
But when she saw Mrs. Bates in her seat, her sister screamed in horror, as if she had seen the most terrifying scene in her life.
"Yes, that's Mrs. Bates, but the sheriff is right, Mrs. Bates died ten years ago."
"So on this rocking chair is just a dried corpse named Mrs. Bates!"
"Hahaha...... I'm Mrs. Bates, I'm Mrs. Bates! ”
"And just as my sister was panicking, the innkeeper wearing a wig and dressing in women's clothes rushed with a knife."
"It turns out that from beginning to end, Mrs. Bates was pretended by him."
"He plays two roles every day, creating the illusion that his mother is still there!"
"He's crazy, the owner of Bates Inn is crazy!"
Chen Yanan was stunned.
This plot twist was completely unexpected by her.
The point of this script is not homicidal at all, but schizophrenia!
Schizophrenic homicidal, or transvestite?
Looking at the entire Chinese film and television circle, no, the world film and television circle, has there ever been such a horror movie?
Chen Yanan tried his best to reminisce, and finally answered himself in the affirmative.
No!
Absolutely nothing!
You know, Hitchcock was one of the first directors in the world to play fine.
The 1945 film "Dr. Edward" was his debut film with a fine theme.
It was 1945!
That year, World War II had just ended, and even color movies were not popularized at that time, so Uncle Xi played with such a high-end theme.
Or say that they are old immortals.
In later generations, all film and television works with mental illness as a horror element have to honestly kneel down and kowtow to someone and shout out to the grandfather.
However, there is no Hitchcock in this world, so no one has ever made a horror film with a schizophrenic theme.
"Sister Nan, Sister Nan?"
Seeing that Chen Yanan's eyes were dull, his face was expressionless, and his lips trembled slightly, Zhang Yue stepped forward and waved in front of the leader with her small hand.
"Xiao Zhang."
"Huh?"
"Let's go to the temple tomorrow to burn incense."
"Ah, why!"
"To thank God for letting me meet the Treants!"
Chen Yanan's breathing gradually became short, with this script, why can't she create an excellent short film!
"Sister Nan, is it so exaggerated?" Zhang Yue was frightened by the boss's reaction.
"It's only more exaggerated than you think!"
"I've heard before that every novel of Shuren will create a new model, and I'm afraid that this script will also create a new model for the horror film and television industry!"
At this time, she remembered a comment she saw when she was reading "The Chair".
"Every work of the tree man has opened up a new avenue for the horror theme!"
At this time, Chen Yanan knew that what he said was true.
Just this script, it can definitely beat a lot of horror movie masters.
Compared with the tree people, the screenwriters I knew before were simply local chickens and dogs, which were not worth mentioning.
"Sister Nan, this script that is delivered in one day is really so powerful?"
yes, one day, how did I forget about it!
Chen Yanan thought of this, and the corners of his eyebrows were slightly raised.
When she saw the ending just now, she subconsciously thought that this was a well-thought-out work that had been revised and polished hundreds of times.
But it's only one day.
It was simply astonishing to hand over a script of this level in one day.
This is as surprising as the first time a boy discovers the correct use of his left hand.
Panic with surprise!
"Go, go and contact the tree man, call the remuneration, and then take the screenwriter contract to find him, quick!"
Chen Yanan is in a hurry.
This kind of talent, she is afraid of being snatched away by others even a second late!
