Ye Jin originally wanted to ask Spielberg to direct "Raiders of the Lost Ark 2".

However, since George Lucas is already preparing for "Star Wars 2", and Harrison Ford, the starring actor, cannot be in half, so the filming of "Raiders of the Lost Ark 2" will be postponed.

He is looking for Spielberg now, just wanting to contact him.

The so-called "not visiting for three years" means being a relative or not. You should always contact your friends, otherwise you will be distant even if you are intimate.

It’s like a friend who has been young since he was a child will become unfamiliar with work, study, and separation of the two places, and eventually become strangers.

But now after hearing Spielberg's question, Ye Jin really has a script that he is willing to ask him to shoot.

"Stephen, if you are interested, I really have a few scripts that I can show you." He said with a smile.

"Okay, I'm very interested." Spielberg smiled.

He was just interested in that war comedy, but he was still in a situation where he could not shoot it. If there was no better script, he might have filmed it. But if there was a better script, he would of course still hope to go to the next level.

Ye Jin smiled, "Okay, come to my office tomorrow, let's have a good chat."

...

In the evening, Ye Jin met with John Carpenter, the director of "The Story of Ghosts".

"John, long time no see," he greeted with a smile.

"Long time no see, Mr. Ye, your career is getting bigger and bigger now." John Carpenter said sincerely.

Two years ago, when he was filming "The Ghost Street", Ye Jin was just a teenage idol star. But now, he has become the CEO of Fox Pictures, and his promotion speed is the only one he has seen in his life.

"Thank you. How are you doing now? I heard that you have made several more movies?" Ye Jin asked with a smile.

When John Carpenter heard this, his expression suddenly became dark.

After filming the big sale of "Ghost Street", he became the favorite of filmmakers and was invited to film many bloody horror films, such as "Soul Conjuring Night", "Graveyard Shock", "Invasion of Demons", etc.

However, the box office of all these horror films is not as high as the movie "The Story of the Ghost", which also makes John Carpenter a little unhappy.

Film companies all believe that the reason why he achieved success at the beginning was entirely because he made Ye Jin's movie. It was Ye Jin's script that helped him, not because he had excellent abilities.

Therefore, in the past six months, there have been fewer film dealers who have been looking for him to film. In fact, he has been unable to find a movie to shoot for three consecutive months.

"Mr. Ye, stop making fun of me." John Carpenter waved his hand, "It's good if someone can invite me to film now."

"How could this happen?" Ye Jin said in surprise.

But after listening to John Carpenter's explanation, he understood.

Although there are many audiences for horror movies, and there are always cases of making big fames with small numbers. In fact, horror movies are not easy to shoot.

Because the premise that horror movies make people feel scary is to first make the audience feel infiltrated. The more substituted the movie, the more horrible the audience feels.

If it is just some bloody, terrifying scenes, and harsh screams, it will not terrify the audience, but will only bore the audience.

For example, the horror films produced in mainland China, such as "Dish Fairy", "Chopstick Fairy", "Bixian", etc. The story is mentally retarded, the acting skills are exaggerated, and the routines are outdated, which naturally makes the audience dislike it.

Therefore, if you want to make a good horror movie, you must first have a good story.

The script, the book of a play, is not a false statement.

John Carpenter took these movies, and listening to the story alone is boring enough. The so-called clever wife cannot cook without rice. Without a good script, even the capable director can only catch blindly.

"John, that's not your fault, it's all a problem with the script. If these filmmakers are willing to spend more money and buy a good script instead of just asking popular directors to take advantage of the popularity, I think the box office performance of the movie will be much better." Ye Jin comforted John Carpenter.

He knew that John Carpenter was a very capable person. He made the movie "Ghost Street" much more terrifying than originally. The atmosphere rendering, the use of shots, and the arrangement of rhythm... can all be called a [masterpiece], which fully demonstrates Carpenter's ability.

After hearing Ye Jin say this, John Carpenter was very moved, "Thank you, Mr. Ye. Your words made me feel very comforted."

In the situation of being abandoned by a number of film manufacturers, there are also big names like Ye Jin who are willing to appreciate him, which makes him feel great warmth.

"You have to be welcome. If you like it, I just happened to want to film "Ghost Street 2". Maybe you can try it." Ye Jin invited with a smile.

"In fact, Mr. Ye, I recently wrote a script and I want to direct this drama more." John Carpenter said a little embarrassedly.

Since the box office losses of several horror films directed by him, John Carpenter has realized that the lack of the script will directly affect the quality of a horror film.

Therefore, in the past few months, he has been taking advantage of the lack of filming and hiding at home to concentrate on writing scripts. He is planning to write a good story and then shoot it out. At that time, he will use its high box office to clean up his shame.

"Oh?! Can you let me see first?" Ye Jin asked with a smile when he heard this.

"Of course, I'll carry it with me." John Carpenter immediately said. He knew he was going to see Ye Jin today, so he specially brought the script with him.

He immediately took out the script and handed it to Ye Jin.

Ye Jin took it and saw that the script had the name "Halloween".

When I opened the script and read it down, I saw that the script said that on Halloween a certain year, six-year-old Michael Myers killed his sister for no reason. When he was discovered by his parents, he just looked up at the sky with a sharp knife dripping with blood, without saying a word.

Afterwards, Michael Myers was sent to a mental hospital. The doctor took him fifteen years to speak. Until this year's Halloween, a mysterious force drove Michael Myers to escape from the mental hospital and then chased a girl named Laurie Stode...

...

Ye Jin focused on reading the script, while fantasizing about the scene taken in his mind.

I have to say that John Carpenter's script is very well written, which makes him unable to help but keep fighting the cold war.

The killer named Michael Myers created in the script is so personal. Unlike Freddy, who is a chatterbox, Michael Myers doesn't speak a word throughout the whole process, and is as silent as a stone.

However, he was unswerving and persevering in the pursuit of the heroine. Nothing could stop him. It was even more terrifying and cruel than the Terminator.

The most important point is that his approach has no reason and no clear motivation. This greatly strengthens his sense of mystery.

People are most afraid of unknown things. Michael Myers has not spoken a word for more than ten years, cannot communicate at all, and has no motivation at all, just to chase and kill people.

He is a strange thing that is unknown and unexplorable. People cannot understand it and will naturally be afraid of it. Just like the gods in Cthulhu mythology.

And with such a [stylish and stylish] boss, it is hard not to be popular in the movie "Halloween".
