“cut！”
The filming scene of the crew of "Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2" was accompanied by director Wen Ziren's last card.The whole movie finally completed the filming of the last scene."
Alright, all the shooting, that's it!"
Sitting in front of the camera's monitor, looking at the picture on the small screen, Wen Ziren breathed a long sigh of relief, and then raised his voice to make an announcement."
Hooray!"
Hearing the news of the completion of the movie, the entire crew immediately cheered excitedly.The crew whistled and clapped their hands to celebrate the completion of the film.Among all the film genres in Hollywood, horror films are the genre films with the shortest shooting cycle, compared to action-adventure films and sci-fi fantasy films that often require various preliminary preparations and need to spend more than half of the production time on post-production special effects, horror films have always been known for their small cost and fast shooting cycle.Especially for a homicidal genre movie like "Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2" that does not have too many special effects shots, it takes no more than half a year from the official project establishment to the completion of filming.If you put aside the early stage of crew preparation, funding actors and other issues, the time really used for filming took less than three months.At that time, although compared to other types of movies, "Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2" was filmed quickly.However, the continuous filming experience of several months still greatly consumed the passion and physical strength of the crew.After the completion of the film, the film was sealed and sent to the world, and the equipment was put into storage.That night, the entire crew changed into suits and dresses to attend the indispensable carnival party after the completion of Hollywood movies.To be honest, Zhao Yuan is not very enthusiastic about the so-called parties in Hollywood, especially since he just participated in the carnival party of the crew of "Modern Family" in New York not long ago.It's just that, as the screenwriter of "Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2", one of the cores of the whole movie, even if he is not interested in the Hollywood demons dancing party, he must participate in this social activity.As a low-to-medium budget horror film crew, the nightclub venue where "Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2" held parties is not large.Of course, it is more than enough to accommodate the entire crew of "Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2".Universal's producers chartered a nightclub for the crew to party all night long, venting the emotions accumulated during this time, in order to be able to work better in the future.At such a party, alcohol is always indispensable, and everyone is constantly clashing with each other with their wine glasses, shouting happily or frantically, and for the vast majority of people who participate in this party, this is already their last day in the play.After today, many of them may not have the opportunity to meet again.Zhao Yuan sat at one end of the party, also holding a wine glass in his hand.Feel the extravagant atmosphere of the drunken gold fans in Hollywood who fill the entire nightclub in front of you.It's a pity that with his current physique, it is difficult for him to get drunk with pure alcohol.This made Zhao Yuan extremely sober although he was in the middle of the party."
Allen, so you're here......"
With a wine glass in his hand, Wen Ziren found Zhao Yuan sitting on the side, stepped forward and touched him, and said with a little drunkenness in his eyes."
Cheers!""
Cheers."
After touching Wen Ziren in front of him, Zhao Yuan raised his hand and poured the red wine in the wine glass into his mouth, felt the cold meaning cross his throat, and then opened his mouth to ask Wen Ziren."
What's next for you, Director?""
Although the movie is finished, I still need to stare at the post-editing process."
The completion of the movie represents the end of the work for most of the crew, including Zhao Yuan, the screenwriter.However, as a director, Wen Ziren is not like this, after a short break, he will soon enter the intense post-production work, to the studios of Universal to edit the footage of "Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2" with editors, it can be said that there is more than a month of busy time waiting for him.Although, in Hollywood, there are quite a few crews that will exclude the director from the editing work.However, Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2 is clearly not among them.The reason why Universal is willing to give in and agree to let Wen Ziren join the editing work is also entirely due to the box office results of the film's predecessor "Texas Chainsaw Massacre", as well as Wen Ziren's outstanding performance in several blockbuster horror genre films in a row, as a confidence.Otherwise, it is almost impossible for a rookie director who has nothing to rely on in the past to convince the producer to get the editing rights of the film.Of course, this is not without exceptions.For example, "Blair the Witch", the shooting technique of 'pseudo-documentary' leads to the fact that there is no room for editors to play in the whole movie."
It's you, Allen, do you have any ideas for a new script after Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2?"
After briefly explaining his situation, Wen Ziren's words changed, and then he threw the topic on Zhao Yuan in front of him."
After the end of "Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2", I will also rush to Los Angeles to join the crew of "Modern Family", the TV series has already officially started filming, although the follow-up script of the TV series has been created, but ABC has expressed concern about this."
Unlike the filming of a movie, during the filming of a TV series.The screenwriter is the soul of a drama and controls the quality of the whole play.Because of the production mode of filming and playing, many plots often require the screenwriter to be present and the director to determine the direction of shooting.Under such a model, the screenwriter's rights in the play are amazing.Even, once the screenwriter is angered, even the leading actor will inevitably be replaced.One of the famous examples is that Charlie Sheen, the starring actor in the American drama "Two and a Half Men", offended the crew, and finally the screenwriter directly wrote him to death in the play, and designed a way to die because he fell into the platform and was hit by the oncoming subway, and drove him out of the crew.Among them, of course, there are reasons why Charlie Sheen deserves his crimes and has died many times, but the screenwriter's influence on a drama can also be glimpsed from this."
It looks like we're going to be very busy for the rest of the year."
Hearing Zhao Yuan's answer, Wen Ziren, who was in front of him, raised the wine glass in his hand and said with a drunken face."
To Hollywood!"
His gaze swept over the wine glass in Wen Ziren's hand.Zhao Yuan also took a glass of wine from the waiter's tray and replied with a smile."
To Hollywood."
