The king of ghost horse comedy

Chapter 463 Big Project
Xu Guanwu then began to review the script provided by David and Richard.Because the last investment in "Moonlight Panic" made a lot of money, so this time Richard changed his past and added a lot of horror-themed scripts.

The investment cost of horror-themed movies is relatively low, but once they are hit, the returns are very rich.Although Richard despises such low-cost movies, he himself has no hatred for money, so although he rejects it in his heart, he still can't resist the temptation of money.It belongs to the kind of a female cousin who still needs to set up a memorial archway.

Xu Guanwu flipped through the stack of scripts quickly, comparing with the memories in his mind while reading.Those with impressions will be placed on the left, and those without impressions will be placed on the right.

Although it was not the first time for Richard and David to cooperate with Xu Guanwu, they couldn't help being shocked and dumbfounded when they saw his speed of selecting scripts again.

"Huh?! "Friday NO.13"? Could it be that blockbuster movie that can be called the top three horror movie series in Hollywood along with "Moonlight Panic" and "A Nightmare on Elm Street"?" Xu Guanwu saw the script. I couldn't help being stunned for a moment, and reached out to take it. When my fingers touched the script, I felt frozen, as if there was a kind of resentment lingering on it.

After reading the script, it was indeed one of the longest-lived horror movies in Hollywood in Xu Guanwu's impression. "NO.13 Friday" is also known as "Black Friday". It is one of the longest-running ghost films in the United States.

The protagonist in this film is a fierce ghost named Jason, which is different from Michael Max in "Moonlight Panic". The white mask and the short knife in his hand have become his fixed image.It is also different from Freddy in "A Nightmare on Elm Street", with a burnt face full of holes, a dirty top hat, a red and white death row suit, and the horrifying claws on his hands. It has become an indelible nightmare in people's hearts.

Jason's image has been constantly changing and perfecting. The murderous protagonist in the first part is not Jason, but his mother.Tormented by the pain of losing his son, he wanted revenge on those who were unfaithful and impure.In the second part, it was replaced with Jason who has become a dead soul, but the image is still not fixed. At first, it was just wearing a sack, and it was changed to a more classic hockey mask in the subsequent films.And his weapons are not fixed, at first he used a giant axe, and later he used a bat and a long knife and so on.

The setting of the character Jason obviously refers to "Moonlight Panic". He is as silent as Michael Max. Known as the most dedicated murderer.Compared with Freddy in "A Nightmare on Elm Street", there is a lot more nonsense, but that is actually his characteristic.

Whereas Michael Max had a white mask covering his face, Jason had a mask covering his own face, at first it was just a broken sack with two holes, and later it was upgraded to a hockey mask.However, this image has changed in the follow-up, but it is not very popular with movie fans, so it was finally changed to a hockey mask.

Of course, Jason was able to be called the three horror killers together with Michael Max and Freddy, and naturally he didn't copy Michael Max completely. In fact, Jason still has many personal "advantages".

For example, Jason has very detailed personal information. He was not popular because he was ugly since he was a child, and was pushed into the water by other children when he was out camping.But because the teacher leading the team was having an affair with someone at the time, he didn't find out and rescue him in time, which caused Jason's body to sink to the bottom of the lake.

And Jason's mother is actually a believer in demons, so she gave her son the chance to live forever with the blood of massacring civilians.It is also because of this that Jason can continue to resurrect and kill after being beaten several times and even being crushed into meat paste. He is really a very dedicated killer.

As for Michael Max's information, there is very little information. We only know that he was possessed by a demon since he was a child, and he swore to kill all his blood relatives. It really has been blood mold for eight lifetimes to be his family member.

Jason also looks more majestic and majestic, and he looks like a powerful killer, giving people a strong sense of stimulation.Michael Myers, on the other hand, is an intelligent killer, who knows how to avoid danger and also knows how to drive and track him. His IQ is not much higher than Jason's.Of course, Freddy has the highest IQ. He maturely uses all kinds of illusions to stimulate the fear in people's hearts and greatly enhances his strength.

In terms of killing ability, Jason is relatively simple and rude, usually slashing with a knife without saying a word, which is slightly different from Freddy.Freddy kills like a cat eats a mouse. He has to play with his prey first, enjoy the process of the prey from panic to collapse, and then end their lives at the end.However, it is precisely because every time he kills, he always makes a fuss, so he always gives his prey an opportunity to take advantage of it.

Jason, Freddy, and Michael Mills all have one thing in common, which is that no matter how hard they beat them, they won’t die. Jason can still come out alive and kill people in the next step after being chopped into meat paste. Although Freddy always Killed, but as long as people remember his name and recall the horrors he brought, he will be resurrected.

Although Michael Mills does not have the immortality of Jason and Freddy, his life is also extremely vigorous. Even after turning into a vegetative state, after learning that he still has a blood relative left in the world, he will still immediately die. Wake up and resume the murderous business.It really can be called a dedicated trio!
……

Xu Guanwu had watched these three series of horror films in his previous life, and he knew Jason's ability to attract money like the back of his hand.In the previous life, the series "NO.13 Friday" has more than ten movies in total, which can be regarded as one of the longest-running horror movies in history, and the box office of each movie is not bad.

Even in the new century, all kinds of ghost films emerge in endlessly, and all kinds of murderers spring up like mushrooms, inheriting the unfinished business of their predecessors, and continuing to carry out this very "money" job to the end.But Jason, a veteran killer, is still not inferior to these young and strong juniors, and he still exudes his own unique charm.

In the new century, Hong Kong director Yu Rentai was commissioned by New Line Films to shoot a film called "Freddy vs. Jason". Two of the most famous horror film protagonists fight in one movie. It was full of gimmicks and gained a lot of box office.Xu Guanwu naturally doesn't want to miss such a fierce movie.

Putting "No.13 Friday" on the other side carefully, Xu Guanwu couldn't help but think that if he came up with the script of "A Nightmare on Elm Street" another day, then the three major Hollywood murderers would all gather under his banner.At that time, maybe I will have a new nickname, like Stephen King who always writes horror novels, calling him "The King of Horror" or something, it is quite a cool thing.

The reason why "NO.13 Friday" was able to shoot so many episodes and attract more than hundreds of millions of dollars is not only because it has a very individual protagonist, but also because this movie created a precedent for youth horror movies.Combining a young man of [-] or [-] years old with a violent, terrifying and murderous murderous demon king is like mutton meeting hot pot, it is a perfect match.

This also set an example for some youth horror films in later generations, leading to many films of the same type in later generations, such as the "Scream" series, "Scream" series, and even "A Nightmare on Elm Street" also directed to "NO.13" "Friday" is the place to learn from.

……

After putting away "NO.13 Friday", Xu Guanwu continued to turn back, and then saw another script, and couldn't help laughing, "It can't be such a coincidence, can it?" When the script was brought over, I saw that the name written on the cover of the script was "The Cannonball Run", which translates to "Cannonball Run".

That's right, "Cannonball Speed", in which Cheng Long and Xu Guanwen played soy sauce, was also one of Golden Harvest's most successful films when it entered the US market.This film originally wanted to use so many big-name stars to successfully push Cheng Long and Xu Guanwen to the American market.

But it is a pity that the roles of these two people in the movie are not brilliant, they can only be regarded as a small supporting role with a small role, so although "Cannonball Speed" has achieved good box office results, Cheng Long and Xu Guanwen still have not gained fame , I have to say it is a pity.

Xu Guanwu also watched this film in his previous life, and it was released in Cantonese in Hong Kong.No matter any character in the film is fluent in Cantonese, it sounds quite discordant.Moreover, the film is still dominated by chaos, which is quite different from Cheng Long's previous and subsequent films. It seems that the partner, 20th Century Fox, is too strong, so Cheng Long has not been given much room to play.

But now that Xu Guanwu has seen the script, and given his current power in Hollywood, he is naturally much more powerful than Jiahe in his previous life.Perhaps this film can become Cheng Long's stepping stone towards Hollywood, and even if it fails, its box office will be enough to earn back his investment.Thinking of this, Xu Guanwu also put the script of "Cannonball Run" on the left hand side.

……

Richard and David watched from the side, seeing that Xu Guanwu first picked a horror movie, not only were they all curious, they forgot the past, "NO.13 Friday", a violent horror movie with a small investment, gave them I didn't have a deep impression of it, but I thought it was a bit like "Moonlight Panicked", so I stuffed it into this stack of scripts, and I was selected by Xu Guanwu unexpectedly.

The two looked at each other, feeling a little happy.Although "NO.13 Friday" is just a low-budget horror film, if the box office revenue is good, the two of them can get a lot of share.

And when Xu Guanwu took out the "Cannonball Run", both of them laughed happily. "Cannonball Run" is a comedy with a high cost, because the film requires a lot of stunts and a large number of actors to join in. The high cost means more opportunities to make money.

Xu Guanwu has always only paid attention to the investment and ignored the filming work, which naturally gave the two of them a lot of opportunities to profit.Xu Guanwu is also well aware of this phenomenon, but as long as the movie can be made well and can make money, it is worth losing a little money occasionally.When the water is clear, there will be no fish, and when people are watching, there will be no disciples. Xu Guanwu doesn't want to criticize them too much.

……

After selecting the two scripts of "No.13 Friday" and "Cannonball Run", Xu Guanwu did not stop there. He was still screening quickly, and soon a "The Shining" appeared in front of Xu Guanwu.

"The Shining" is known as one of the scariest movies in history. Its method of showing horror is not simple visual stimulation such as bloody violence, but winning by rendering a terrifying atmosphere.And through this film, Hollywood filmmakers will also have all the scum left of the Japanese horror films that have always been famous for rendering the atmosphere of horror, which proves that Hollywood filmmakers are also top-notch in rendering atmosphere.
