Chapter 1 Screenwriting Classics


Run, run, run!

In the dimly lit movie theater, one after another exclamations rang out.The audience's emotions are mobilized to the peak in the thriller plot reversal on the big screen, where the heroine is on the verge of death one second, and the next second is in danger.Watching the heroine covered in blood slurry climb onto the passing pickup truck amid screams, she laughed like crazy while urging and shouting at the driver.Behind him, a fat-bodied murderer held the chainsaw in his hand high, limping and wielding the screeching sound of the chainsaw in the morning sun.It is also amplified by the huge sound of the theater, which constantly stimulates the fear in the hearts of the moviegoers.Even from the big screen, they were afraid that the chainsaw murderer in a human skin mask would suddenly burst out of the film and go on a killing spree against them.The final movie scene, against the backdrop of the morning sun, with the murderer wielding a chainsaw as the final finishing shot, indicates that the story of all things does not end because of this.The movie ends.A scrolling subtitle table began to appear.However, the audience in the theater was still immersed in the last picture of the movie and could not recover for a long time.Half-loud, accompanied by a rough curse, the originally calm theater seemed to come to life, and began to sound all kinds of discussion noise."

Farke, this is the scariest movie I've ever seen, damn it, damn it......"

"The family of murderers is completely crazy, they actually take pleasure in killing, when I saw the two grandsons let their grandfather hammer the heroine, the whole person was stunned, the screenwriter who made up this kind of plot is definitely a madman, however, that scene is so cool, I feel a little chilled when I recall it now.""

Have you heard, it is said that the scenes of this movie are based on real cases.""

No, then I'll never go to Texas in my life.""

I decided that I wanted to call my friends to watch the movie again.""

Hey, that's what I thought too."......

"Congratulations, Alan. ”A corner of the cinema to see the reaction of the audience watching the movie.A dark-haired Asian man turned his head to congratulate the young man of the same color.The Asian man is called Wen Ziren, a well-known thriller director in Hollywood in recent years, with a small-budget horror movie called "Chainsaw" two years ago, he earned $50 million at the box office in the film market at a cost of 1.2 million, and successfully became famous and entered the eyes of major film companies.It's just that with the success of the movie "Chainsaw", Wen Ziren's directing career has also been affected to some extent.The producer of the film wanted him to concentrate on the development of the chainsaw series, and in the past two years, Wen Ziren has directed and participated in two sequels of "Chainsaw 2" and "Chainsaw 3".I finally have the energy to shoot my own movie.As an Asian who has been in Hollywood for many years, Wen Ziren knows very well what he is good at.Because, for the idea of a new movie, he undoubtedly chose it in the thriller and horror genre that he is best at.In order to be able to make a movie that he was satisfied with, he personally wrote the screenplay and participated in the production of the new movie, but the story he wrote was somewhat unsatisfactory, and it seemed that the successive filming of the chainsaw series had hollowed out his inspiration.And just when Wen Ziren was at a loss, a horror movie script about a murderer came into his eyes.And the man in front of him, who has a pair of bright eyes, is young and handsome, and he also has a Chinese background, is the screenwriter of this new work."

I'm just a little bit lucky."

In the face of Wen Ziren's congratulations, Allen, or Zhao Yuan smiled modestly.He does have some luck, although he has full confidence in a classic horror movie like "Texas Chainsaw Massacre", but he also knows that in the context of Hollywood, the quality of the script is important, but it is often not the most critical part.After all, there are so many screenwriters in Hollywood, and there are countless movie scripts produced every day.Who can guarantee that their work will be so lucky to be selected, and at the same time be made into an excellent film work.The situation of a good script meeting a bad production director is not only happening in the East, but also in Hollywood.Zhao Yuan is fortunate that his script is not only selected, but also the director of the film is also very good at horror themes.Therefore, it is possible to present this classic horror movie from his original world in Zhao Yuan's hands completely.Although the quality of the content of the movie didn't matter much when he, the screenwriter, got the follow-up remuneration, Zhao Yuan was still more or less concerned about the first script that he had painstakingly 'created' (carried) since he crossed over.After all, the quality of a movie, although it is not critical to the screenwriter, but a good beginning can always make some fame for him, an unknown screenwriter, in Hollywood, at least in terms of remuneration for the script in the future.The reason why he is so snobbish is not because of Zhao Yuan's philistine.But the United States, a capitalist country, is real capital, and Hollywood, as the most representative existence, is even more inclined to capital.If a screenwriter like him, who has no money and no power, wants to survive in this kind of big capital society, or even become a member of the upper capital, he naturally needs to spend more thought."

Alan, Hollywood doesn't look down on you because of your humility."

As a person who came over, Wen Ziren looked at Zhao Yuan's modest reaction, and then opened his mouth to remind him.Wen Ziren's appreciation for Zhao Yuan is not only because of the same skin color, but also because of his talent in scripts.As a director who is also good at screenwriting, Wen Ziren knows better than ordinary people the special features of the movie "Texas Chainsaw Massacre", in which the arrangement of various plots, especially the setting of the Chainsaw Massacre, has vaguely gone beyond the fixed routine of current Hollywood movies.Wen Ziren has a hunch, once he waits until "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" is successful.The next horror movies will compete to imitate the elements of the plot of their films.After all, there are settings such as murderers in pickup trucks, hidden killers at gas stations, and symbols such as skin-faced killers' skin masks, screeching chainsaws, and screaming chases in the middle of the night have also appeared, but no one has ever gathered them all in one movie.It can be said that "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" is a movie that combines various classic elements of current Hollywood horror movies.And how can a movie that combines so many classic elements not become a classic.
