Chapter 22: The Witch


"No, maybe it's more than just waiting!"

Judging by the current progress.Whether it is "Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2" or "Modern Family", it is not something that can be done overnight.After all, the filming process of a realistic movie and TV series is not like the [script evolution] function of the system in Zhao Yuan's hands, which can be embodied out of thin air.It takes a certain amount of time to prepare the crew, survey the venue and even select the actors.If you really wait until everything is ready, and the filming of the movie and TV series is completed, it will take more than half a year to say the least.Here, not counting the problems that "Modern Family" may encounter, such as the subscription negotiation of the TV station and the selection of the filming schedule of "Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2".With all kinds of things added up, even if Zhao Yuan was patient, he couldn't tolerate such a long waste.After all, this kind of screenwriting reality, the ability to evolve the world, as long as you try it once, it is difficult to let go.Therefore, after thinking about it, Zhao Yuan quickly made a decision.In terms of system scripts, he may not be able to carry out the next action because of his limitations.However, in the real Hollywood, he is clearly not disturbed.......It's hard to imagine that after writing the script for Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 and Modern Family, you still have the energy to write a new script, Allen. ”New York, Universal Pictures Building.Ron Meyer couldn't help but sigh when he looked at the 'new script' that Zhao Yuan took out again."

Even in Hollywood, there are few screenwriters who are so prolific in a short period of time like you."

The creation of a script is an extremely boring process, and the completion of a script in Hollywood often requires the screenwriter to polish and revise it many times."

I just had an inspiration out of nowhere."

Sitting on the sofa in the office, facing Ron Meyer's approval, Zhao Yuan just smiled."

So this time, what kind of script did you bring to the table, Alan.""

TV series?

Or a movie?

”After a brief politeness, Ron Meyer got to the point."

Blair the Witch, this is a horror movie about the legend of a witch."

Hearing the name of the script from Zhao Yuan's mouth, Ron Meyer's eyebrows changed slightly."

Blair the Witch?"

Looking at Zhao Yuan on the sofa, Ron Meyer nodded, "Can I read the script for 'Blair the Witch', Allen?"

”"Of course."

Zhao Yuan has no reason to refuse Ron Meyer's request, in fact, the reason why he came to Universal is for this purpose.Handing the script that had been prepared long ago to Ron Meyer, Zhao Yuan did not retreat to the sofa, but stood in place to observe Ron Meyer's reaction."

Thank you."

After taking over the script of "Blair the Witch", Ron Mayer immediately began to read it carefully.As vice president of film and television distribution at Universal Pictures, Ron Meyer is clearly not an outsider who doesn't know anything about movies.It is really for this reason that after reading the script of "Blair the Witch" provided by Zhao Yuan, Ron Meyer's inner disappointment was a little greater.Purely in terms of the script, "Blair the Witch" actually doesn't have many horror plots, and the thriller part can only be regarded as an upper-middle level of horror films.Compared to the shock brought to Ron Mayer by classic horror movies such as "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" that Zhao Yuan 'created' before."

Blair the Witch" is even more bleak."

To be honest, Allen ......"

After reading the script of "Blair the Witch" in his hand, Ron Mayer looked at Zhao Yuan opposite and shook his head slightly: "I didn't see too many new things from the script." ”"Whether it's the legend of the witch or the horror in it, there's not much to surprise."

Ron Meyer's reaction did not exceed Zhao Yuan's expectations."

Blair the Witch" was not originally a movie known for its scripted plot, in his original world, the reason why this movie was able to successfully harvest more than 100 million box office was due to its unique shooting techniques and novel viral marketing methods."

If, in terms of the performance of the script for 'Blair the Witch,' I'm sorry, Alan, there's no way Universal is going to invest in it."

Shaking his head, Ron Meyer calmly gave the answer."

So what if, 'Blair the Witch' wasn't a 'normal' movie from the beginning?"

In the face of Ron Meyer's refusal, Zhao Yuan slowly threw out the setting of the movie."

Not a 'normal' movie?"

Hearing Zhao Yuan's words, Ron Meyer's face couldn't help but show a different expression, and asked."

What do you mean?""

I'm going to use handheld DV to shoot the content of this film.""

Handheld DV?!"

Ron Meyer expected that Zhao Yuan would surprise him, but he didn't expect this answer to be so unexpected."

No wonder, the script mentions the 'documentary' thing, it turns out to be ......"

However, it didn't take long for Ron Meyer to react.He flipped the script of "Blair the Witch" to the first page, looked at the plot description at the beginning, and suddenly said."

Can you tell me more about your thoughts, Alan?"

Although he understands some of the operating methods, Ron Meyer is still in a half-understood situation."

I intend to present the entire filming process of 'Blair the Witch' in the style of a 'pseudo-documentary', so that the whole film is like a real world thing.""

Pseudo-documentary format?

You say it's a shooting technique like "Modern Family". ”Hearing Zhao Yuan's style definition of "Blair the Witch", Ron Mayer naturally thought of the script of "Modern Family" that he had just shown to himself not long ago."

That's right, in fact, the pseudo-documentary style used in "Modern Family" was originally inspired by the script of "Blair the Witch."

Nodding, Zhao Yuan admitted without hesitation.Anyway, in this world, whether it's "Modern Family" or "Blair the Witch", it's from him, and he says that inspiration comes from wherever it comes from."

It's an interesting way to shoot a horror movie, and I've never heard of anyone doing anything like it for a horror movie."

Zhao Yuan's description rekindled Ron Mayer's interest in "Blair the Witch".He entered the position of vice president of the film and television distribution department of his film industry, thinking about the follow-up distribution of "Blair the Witch", but in the end he couldn't help but shake his head and regret."

There is no doubt that Allen, the method of shooting horror films in the form of pseudo-documentaries, is very innovative.""

But how can I ensure that this form of film attracts audiences to the theater?""

Propaganda!"

In the face of Ron Meyer's hesitation.Zhao Yuan immediately threw out the second key to the success of "Blair the Witch".
