Chapter 22 The Witch

"No, maybe it's not just waiting!"

Judging from the current progress.

Whether it is "Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2" or "Modern Family" that is not something that can be achieved overnight.

After all, the shooting process of real movies and TV series is not like the [Script Evolution] function of the system in Zhao Yuan's hand, which can be realized out of thin air.

It takes a certain amount of time to prepare the crew, survey the venue and even select actors.

If you really wait until everything is ready and the filming of the movie and TV series is completed, you will have to wait for at least half a year.

Here, the problems that Modern Family may encounter, such as the order negotiations of TV stations and the selection of filming schedules for "Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2".

All the things combined together, even if Zhao Yuan is patient, he cannot tolerate such a long time of waste.

After all, this kind of screenwriter's ability to evolve the world is difficult to let go if you try it once.

So, after thinking, Zhao Yuan quickly made a decision.

In terms of system scripts, he may not be able to unfold the next action due to [Plot Value].

However, in real Hollywood, he is obviously not disturbed.

...

"It's hard to imagine that after you've created the scripts of "Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2" and "Modern Family", you still have the energy to complete the new script, Allen."

New York, Universal Pictures Building.

Ron Mayer couldn't help but sigh as he looked at the 'new script' that Zhao Yuan took out again.

“Even in Hollywood, there are few screenwriters as prolific as you in a short period of time.”

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

"I just suddenly got inspiration."

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

"So this time, what kind of script you bring, Allen."

"TV series? or movie?"

After a brief and polite approach, Ron Mayer began to get to the point.

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

When Ron Mayer heard the name of the script that was spoken from Zhao Yuan, Ron Mayer's eyebrows changed slightly.

“Blair the Witch?”

Looking at Zhao Yuan on the sofa, Ron Mayer nodded and said, "Can I read the script of "Blair the Witch", Allen?"

"certainly."

Zhao Yuan had no reason to refuse Ron Mayer's request. In fact, the reason why he came to Global was for this purpose.

He handed the script he had prepared long ago to Ron Mayer, but Zhao Yuan did not retreat to the sofa, but stood there to observe Ron Mayer's reaction.

"Thanks."

After taking over the script of "Blair the Witch", Ron Meyer immediately began to read it carefully.

As vice president of Universal Pictures's film and television distribution department, Ron Mayer is obviously not a layman who knows nothing about movies.

It is also true that after reading the script of "Blair the Witch" provided by Zhao Yuan, Ron Mayer's inner disappointment became even greater.

Just in terms of the script, "Blair the Witch" actually does not have many horror plots, and the thrilling part can only be considered as the upper-middle level of horror movies.

Compared with the shock that classic horror movies like "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" brought to Ron Mayer by Zhao Yuan.

"Blair the Witch" seems a little more bleak.

"To be honest, Allen..."

After reading the script of "Blair the Witch" in his hand, Ron Meyer looked at Zhao Yuan opposite and shook his head gently: "I didn't see too many new things from the script."

"No matter whether it is the legend of the witch or the horror plots in it, there are not many unexpected things."

Ron Mayer's reaction did not exceed Zhao Yuan's expectations.

"Blair the Witch" is not a movie that is known for its script. In his original world, the reason why this movie was able to successfully earn more than 100 million yuan in box office was due to its unique shooting techniques and novel viral marketing methods.

"If, on the script performance of "Blair the Witch", I'm sorry, Allen, it's impossible for Universal to invest in it."

Shaking his head, Ron Mayer calmly gave the answer.

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

Faced with Ron Mayer's rejection, Zhao Yuan slowly threw out the movie's settings.

“Isn’t it a ‘normal’ movie?”

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

"you mean?"

“I plan to use a handheld DV to shoot the contents of this movie.”

“Handheld DV?!”

Ron Mayer expected that Zhao Yuan would surprise him, but he did not expect that the answer was so unexpected.

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

But soon, Ron Mayer reacted.

He turned the script of "Blair the Witch" to the first page count, looked at the plot description at the beginning, and suddenly said.

"Can you tell me in detail what you think, Allen?"

Although he understood some operation methods, Ron Mayer was still in a state of being half aware of the specific content.

"I plan to present the entire shooting process of "Blair the Witch" in the style of a 'pseudo-documentary', making the whole movie like something that happened in the real world."

"Pseudo-documentary form? You said it was a shooting technique like "Modern Family".

When he heard Zhao Yuan’s definition of the style of "Blair the Witch", Ron Mayer naturally thought of the script "Modern Family" he had only read for himself not long ago.

"Yes, in fact, the pseudo-documentary shooting style used in Modern Family was originally inspired by the script "Blair the Witch."

Nodding, Zhao Yuan admitted without hesitation.

Anyway, in this world, whether it is Modern Family or Blair the Witch, he said that inspiration comes from wherever it comes from.

"It's very interesting shooting techniques, and I've never heard of anyone using similar techniques to shoot a horror movie."

Zhao Yuan's description rekindled Ron Mayer's interest in "The Witch Blair".

He entered his identity as vice president of the film and television distribution department of the film and television distribution department, thinking about the subsequent distribution of "Blair the Witch", but in the end he couldn't help but shake his head and said regretfully.

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

"But how can I guarantee that such a movie will attract audiences to the theater to watch?"

"publicity!"

Faced with Ron Mayer's hesitation.
