Chapter 77: Fierce and Joyful
It was dark, and under the leadership of Kelly Gray, producer Dave, director Benjamin, actor Martin and actress Catherine all came to the front of the theater to welcome the arrival of important guests.
There were smiles on everyone's faces. With Kelly Gray's connection, the crew brought in several deans from the Savannah School of the Arts.
The most important VIPs are, of course, buyers from various film distribution companies. Martin met six film experts and professional buyers from Focus Pictures, Warner Bros. and Lionsgate.
In addition, representatives of overseas filmmakers such as Indians, Koreans, Mexicans, and Brazilians were also seen.
People who go out to travel at public expense do a lot of work outside. Soon, Martin saw an acquaintance, straightened his formal clothes a little, and strode up to greet him: "Good evening, Blanco, welcome." Blanco shook Martin's hand and said, "I contacted Michelle and he was full of praise for you, the actor who can make Michelle praise so much, starring in a movie I can't miss." Martin led the people to the door of the theater, introduced Dave and Benjamin, and led them in himself.
The theater, which has a capacity of more than 800 people, is almost full, mostly for general audiences and students of the academy. There are only about two dozen real movie buyers.
Martin came to the place where the crew was and sat next to Benjamin. The film was about to be screened, and he noticed that Benjamin's hands and legs were shaking.
Benjamin forced a smile: "Don't be surprised, it's my first time, it's normal to be nervous." ”
"Me too." Martin adjusted his breathing again and again, not thinking about the success or failure of the movie. For him, as long as the film can be screened in theaters, it is a victory.
Lionsgate's Jeffs and Warner's Brightner are located next to each other, and the two often attend film festivals on behalf of the company, so they are old acquaintances.
Jeffs asked, "Warners interested in B-movies?" Breitner replied softly, "B-movies have a regular audience. "The screen lights up, the lights go out, and the music sounds loud.
In the crowded Beast House Club, sunny and handsome men walked onto the circular stage and began to dance to the music.
The front is normal, an ordinary zombie dance, nothing more than adding some elements of stripping. But after the dance music entered the high dynasty, the male protagonist Matthew, who only wore shorts, leaned back, highlighted the key parts, constantly twisted his waist and hips, and detonated the dance hall with a fast rhythm.
At the scene, dJ shouted: "Zombie machine gun dance, let the bullets fly all over the dance hall!" As if machine-gun fire, countless female customers covered their chests.
Then, dollars littered and underwear flew around. It's like there's a night show like this. The old perverts in the theater couldn't help but scold: "It's too exaggerated!" The female audience was dumbfounded: would they fly into the sky in the face of this frequency and speed?
B-grade films want this kind of exaggerated effect. What's more, it's all real shots. Many people can see that the actor's dancing is not very good, and the level can only be said to be average, but the superb part of the zombie machine gun dance makes him charming.
In the close-up, hormones burst out of the screen. Many female viewers found that the dried up creek spring water overflowed, gradually converging into a river.
Jeffs heard a slut behind him asking his companion, "Where is the House of the Beast?" Is there really such a dancer? I'm going to experience ......" opens with a dance that highlights the sexuality of the film.
Of course, another major attraction and element of B-grade films is indispensable in the future - plasma splashing. While all the female customers are indulging in the hot dance of the male protagonist, as the music changes, the male protagonist Matthew suddenly transforms into a vampire and unleashes a bloody massacre of the female customers along with other dancers and bosses with big heads.
Brains are flying, stumps are broken, and blood is flowing. It was a sacrificial ritual in which the House of the Beast was a stronghold of vampire demons who lured women with their male colors, drank their blood, and sacrificed to the evil gods of hell.
The opening scene is not very good, but it can keep people watching. The plot of B-movies has always been shit, and Benjamin's one is no exception, with a girl lucky to escape from the Holocaust and find the special talent of the huntress sisters Maria and Anna.
When Anna proposes to gather a team to hunt the vampire demons again and find her companions, Maria makes her way to the club first.
"Jenna Jameson?" Jeffs frowned: "It's really a gimmick to use her, but if you really want to watch her, there are films to watch." Breitner had the same idea, and as soon as he saw Jenna Jameson and the male lead in the same scene, he guessed that there would be a fierce fight to follow.
But what he didn't expect was that this scene would be so special. The male protagonist and Maria look at each other. The latter wants to use his special talent to directly suck the vampire dry.
The former wanted to please the evil god who was both evil and lustful with the blood of a beautiful woman. Right on the stage, in front of many crazy women, a big war broke out.
But the place and manner of the battle, even Jeffs and Breitner did not think of it. The male protagonist holds the hanging chain of the ceiling in one hand and holds Maria horizontally in the other, staging a trapeze act.
Zombie machine guns fly in the air! In this scene, there are all beautiful women and macho men, and the rather exaggerated performance creates not only sexual charm, but also an indescribable sense of joy.
In front of the biqμgètν.net audience, the two characters are fighting to the death, but this special way makes them fall into a strange joy.
Jeffs couldn't help but say, "It's full of comedy. Breitner actually looked at it and laughed: "Something." "As for the rough production, there's nothing wrong with that, as B-movies always do.
The dimly lit theater was filled with cheerful air. In this battle, there is not a single funny line, nor any spoof action, but it is fierce and funny.
Sex comedy is a special product of Lao Mei, and it has a wide range of audiences. The arrogant Maria unexpectedly suffered a failure, and the hero was sucked dry instead of sucking up, and ended up with a tragic death of a corpse.
The plot is still cliché, and the heroine Anna finds a few helpers and returns, discovers that her sister has been killed, and is determined to clean up the vampire demons of the Beast House Club.
They made a detailed plan and broke into the club during the day. Then he fell into a trap and was captured alive by the big-headed boss and the male protagonist with the dancing boy group.
The villain, of course, does not kill the heroine immediately. The male protagonist locked the heroine alone, and the heroine was photographed by the male protagonist's strength and decided to use her talent to seduce the male protagonist to fight head-on.
Most of the audiences who can come here are B-grade movie lovers, and they are extremely happy to watch at this time. The scene design of several fight scenes and the special performance of the male protagonist are full of fun.
The ending drama begins, and through the psychological activities of the heroine, the battle concept is thrown out again - whoever is the first to go up will be finished.
The previous time, the heroine's sister was sucked dry. And the heroine's talent is above her sister, who is particularly capable, and defeats the male protagonist head-on.
In the ensuing fight, the heroine cut off the hero's head. The male protagonist died in battle, and the heroine led the team to bloody the Beast's House Club, taking away the upper and lower heads of the male protagonist as a demon hunting medal.
At the end of the film, the heroine who led the demon hunting team out of the city found herself pregnant, and the two heads of the male protagonist disappeared.
In the darkness, applause was heard, and Blanco also stood up and applauded. Unlike ordinary French film companies, his Europa can be said to be the most commercial film company in France, and even in Europe, and the founder Luc Besson has never made literary films.
The style of the big boss of the company influences the style of the whole company. Blanco is also a commercial film buyer.
This film, the elements of the American B-grade film are excellent, with spilled blood, a terrifying atmosphere, and explosive hormones...... Even the American-style, pee, and fart jokes that he didn't think were good in the past, this film is ingenious.
There are no shit-like lines, and the male protagonist is still the female lead
"Killed", but saw a smell of joy. Especially the male protagonist, among the three major scenes, the first two are particularly brilliant, and they are simply outstanding.
The zombie machine gun dance and trapeze are so interesting, those French directors who can only play obscure and incomprehensible green scenes, should really come over and see how the soft color please drama can be filmed joyful and interesting.
In the last scene, the male protagonist was slightly stolen by the female protagonist, but it didn't matter. The applause gradually fell, and Blanco was thinking about how much it would cost to win the French or European distribution rights for this film?
If the North American and European rights were separated, he estimated that it would be possible to do it for less than $2 million. This film is definitely not the claimed $6 million, and the production cost will not exceed $2 million.
After the movie subtitles are gone, the theater lights up. Dave greeted the main creative staff of the crew: "Let's go, go on stage for a curtain call!" Benjamin stood up, not knowing if he was too nervous, or if his leg was numb, and he almost fell down when he took the first step.
Martin's eyes were quick and he quickly grabbed him. Benjamin turned around and smiled reluctantly: "It's okay, right?" Martin said: "Director, we did it to the extreme, on stage. Benjamin walked forward.
Martin added: "Greet everyone in the crew? Benjamin replied softly, "Call them all on stage." Martin turned around and waved at Hart and Robert who were sitting behind him.
Kelly Gray spent money to invite a lot of media reporters, they were all taking pictures at this time, Hart and others were on the media, standing with the crew, and waiting for the film to enter the theater for screening, the value is bound to rise.
Hart and Carrington took the boy group, pulled the big head Robert, and went on the stage in front of the screen together.
The crew, led by Dave and Benjamin, frequently greeted the audience. The audience erupted in applause again.
The crew got together again and asked media reporters to take a group photo. The sense of ritual is full. Robert smiled brighter than a flower, and a film allowed him to fulfill his wish for years as a background artist.
There are more than ten lines in the film, and it is mixed with the group photo of the main creator. As long as the film is released in theaters, he can blow up in the Atlanta background artist circle.
When he stepped down, Hart took a few steps, followed behind Martin, and whispered: "Daddy Martin, as long as you speak, I will book a ticket to Thailand tonight." Martin didn't want a shemale daughter and said, "Keep it, you'll have to eat on it." Hartle said: "I can double the price in the future!" Carrington, who followed behind, was disdainful: "Look at your pattern, you will triple everything you say." ”
