The essence of "Smart: Ghost Record" is actually a remake of "Blair the Witch".Using 'pseudo-documentary' as a gimmick, using the same routine to integrate horror scenes into daily DV shooting, so as to achieve the purpose of scary.If anything, the only difference between the two.Perhaps, the success of "Blair the Witch" is limited to one of them, while "Smart: Ghost Record" has successfully perpetuated this box office myth and created a series of works, and each sequel has done well at the box office."
To be honest, it's hard for me to imagine, Allen, that after creating 'Blair the Witch' and 'Modern Family,' you can still come up with a story like this in the script of the 'pseudo-documentary' genre......"
After the box office success of "Blair the Witch," it wasn't like Hollywood didn't have production companies making the same type of film.However, with the exception of a small company called Sanctuary Pictures, which successfully recouped the spoofed vulgar copycat "Brian the Wizard", the rest of the films made in the form of 'pseudo-documentary' have all failed miserably, including some medium-sized production companies such as Lionsgate.And even the so-called "Wizard Brian", which is known as the return to the basics, is actually just a copycat film that is popular.Except for the fact that the title of the movie is somewhat related to "Blair the Witch", the content is completely different and has no resemblance at all.And, under such a premise, Ron Meyer still expressed optimism about Zhao Yuan's new script, at least on the surface.In addition to the low cost of the 'pseudo-documentary' film genre, there is no investment burden for Universal.also somewhat held some calculations, once the box office of "Smart: Ghost Shadow" was not as expected.Then Universal will also be in a relatively advantageous position in the follow-up copyright negotiations of "Blair the Witch".Universal could use "Smart: Ghost Record" to squeeze the price of "Blair the Witch" rights, and if the film is successful, it will be another successful investment for Universal.It can be said that regardless of the success or failure of the box office of "Smart: Ghost Shadow", the world has relatively favorable conditions.Although, there are calculations in the heart.However, on the surface, Ron Meyer still stretched out his hand with a smile on his face."
The evaluation of the new script will be completed as soon as possible on the Universal" "Well, happy cooperation, Allen. ”"It's a pleasure to work with."
Also stretched out his hand, looking at Ron Meyer's expression in front of him, Zhao Yuan seemed to think of something in general."
The new contract should be calculated according to the new agreement signed by the Writers Guild, right?"
Hearing Zhao Yuan's words, the expression on Ron Meyer's face froze slightly, but he quickly reacted and nodded back without hesitation."
Of course!"......
can you tell me what happened?
”The filming intention of the new script was finalized, and it came out of the Universal Plaza in Los Angeles.Zhao Yuan, who returned to San Marino, looked at the police car parked in front of his house, and was secretly shocked in his heart.On the surface, he still made a puzzled expression and stepped forward to ask."
Sir, are you?"
Reaching out to stop Zhao Yuan, a white policeman in charge of patrolling the area politely asked."
I'm the owner of this room."
Stretching out his hand, he pointed to the building behind the policeman, and Zhao Yuan replied."
I'm sorry, sir."
Hearing Zhao Yuan's answer, the police immediately withdrew their outstretched arms, lifted the hat on their heads and replied: "In fact, it was because we received a call to call the police, saying that someone was stuck in the crack of the window, and there was no way to break free for an hour, and when we arrived at the scene, we found that the two thieves who called the police were actually two thieves, they should have been stuck in the window, and the other was crushed by the fallen cabinet and couldn't move......"
Speaking of the thief when he called the police, The expression on the white policeman's face became a little stranger.It can be imagined how surprised and confused they were when they saw that the identity of the police object was actually a thief.As highly trained police officers, they have a wealth of experience in police dispatch.But there has never been a more absurd thing than a thief calling the police for help.For a while, the white policeman didn't know whether he should lament the bad luck of the two thieves or the luck of Zhao Yuan, the owner of the house."
After confirming the identities of the two thieves, we searched out the stolen finances from their bodies, and the two of them also happily admitted that they had originally burglarized, because of the conclusive evidence, we made the decision to arrest the two at the first time, but before that, we need to rescue the two unlucky thieves first."
The thief stuck in the gap was even tighter than expected, and even if the policeman present tried his best, he couldn't pull his head out, but instead caused the other party to scream.In the end, after spending nearly half an hour using a series of props ranging from soap to olive oil.I barely pulled out the thief's stuck head."
I'm sorry to have troubled your life, sir.""
For these two burglars, we will give them the legal punishment they deserve, and I believe they should stay in prison for a while."
Burglary with conclusive evidence.Even if the two thieves wanted to defend themselves, they had no excuse.Anyway, it's not a shame that the police patrol a wealthy area like San Marino have a polite attitude.After putting the two hapless thieves in a police car, the white policeman immediately apologized to Zhao Yuan.I watched the police car leave with the two dejected thieves in the back seat.Zhao Yuan turned around and returned home, looking at the fallen cabinet and everything in the slightly messy room.But his eyes immediately fell on the table, the motionless [Voodoo Doll]."
So, it's all your credit?"
Zhao Yuan didn't believe that there was really such a coincidental thing in the world.Two burglars, just one of them was stuck in the window, and the other was pressed by the cabinet and couldn't move.Therefore, there is no doubt that the only thing that can make these two thieves so unlucky is the [Voodoo Doll] left in the house.Zhao Yuan's voice was heard.The [Voodoo Doll], who was still lying motionless on the dining table and disguised, immediately got up, grabbed the toothpick-thick trident in his hand, raised his head and nodded at Zhao Yuan, and patted his chest with a small short hand composed of wool, with an expression of invitation.
