    Death Video, this is the name of this movie. Of course, this is just the name of one of them. This experimental film shot in Spain was always regarded as one of the best films of the year in 2007.  1. It not only received high praise in Spain, but also became famous in the world. It has also become one of the most famous Spanish movies in the world after the new century.

    This movie was followed up by a second and third parts, and a fourth part is also being planned. It was remade in the United States into another movie Quarantine the following year, which also achieved significant success.  The success of "Quarantine" also led to the production and release of the second part of "Quarantine".

    The story Yan Xu just mentioned is a combination of two films. The biggest difference between Death Video and his remake of Quarantine is the setting of the virus. In Death Video, the virus is just a  A general introduction, and in the setting of the quarantine area, the way the virus is transmitted, the way the virus mutates in the human body, and the way the virus persists are all explained in detail. Of course, in terms of the horror of the movie, the isolation area is very important for death.  There are some slight deficiencies in the video. Although it is more reasonable, the degree of shock, the kind of surprise and suddenness are slightly weakened.

    If Yan Xu wants to shoot such a film, he can completely express it according to the setting in the quarantine area and the plot in the death video.

    Although Yan Xu gave the general plot of Halle Berry, he did not mention the key points. If such a movie lacks these key points, it will be just an extremely ordinary movie that looks like a jumping zombie.  It's just a horror movie, if those elements are added.  That's a landmark movie.

    Mockumentary.  This is a genre that is gradually emerging in movies.  Although it records real life like a documentary, it is actually fictional. It uses satire or imitation to analyze major events or problems in society, challenging people's perception of established facts.

    In mock documentaries, historical data or interviews are often used to discuss past events, or real movies are used to follow the people involved in the event.

    The most commonly used shooting technique in this kind of film is that the photographer creates a certain environment and designs a certain plot based on his own imagination.  Let the person being photographed perform, and finally the photographer captures the completed process.  In this process, the photographer often also plays the role of director.  Obviously, staged photography tends to have better lighting, composition, more beautiful backgrounds, more beautiful models, and is more dramatic.

    So the pseudo-documentary has the word "pseudo" because it is produced by imitating some features of documentaries. In fact, it belongs to the category of feature films.

    Since the release of Long Live Rock, the originator of documentaries.  There have been countless pseudo-documentaries in the past 20 years, but the more famous One Night Party and Lutos: All You Need Is Money basically describe band life with little difference from Long Live Rock and Roll.  For documentaries.  Only one film, True Life, released in 1979, was a breakthrough and gained a good reputation.

    As for the development of horrific pseudo-documentaries, it basically started with cannibalism records in the 1980s and was not developed until the final broadcast. The landmark pseudo-documentary film "Blair Witch" also marked the beginning of pseudo-documentary.  The maturity of the film is also through this film, making people around the world aware of this type of film.

    Although this death video is not as representative as Blair Witch, it does not have the science fiction background like Apollo 18, nor the grand scenes like Cloverfield, nor does it have the box-office success of The Ghost Chronicles.  , but this movie is definitely also known as the last masterpiece among pseudo-documentaries. People¡¯s love for this series can be seen from the fact that both the Spanish version and the American version have successively launched sequels.

    Nowadays, fake documentaries are in an extremely embarrassing position. There has been no representative work for many years. If Death Video is done well, it can definitely become as iconic as Blair Witch.  The film even surpasses Blair Witch in terms of production.

    Burbank is located in the north of Los Angeles, within the scope of Los Angeles County, and is also a satellite city of Los Angeles. It not only has large residential areas but is also the aerospace industry center of Los Angeles. Its most famous thing is undoubtedly the media capital of the world. In this  In this small town of 70,000 to 80,000 people, in addition to the headquarters of the famous film company Disney, many world-famous media and entertainment companies such as Warner Bros, NBC, Via, and PBS have branches in Burbank, and the small film companies here  There are also countless small studios.

    The car drove slowly to WVA Street in Burbank and stopped next to the stadium. Here??It can be considered a relatively prosperous area. The north and west of the stadium are basically residential areas, and across the street in the south are numerous studios, restaurants, bars and large shopping malls.

    In front of a row of bungalows on the south side of Wva Street, the car stopped. Looking at one of the white houses, Yan Xu felt filled with pride. From today on, this place belongs to him.

    Although the scale of this company is not particularly large from the outside, the total of the row of white bungalows is only about 200 square meters. There are two small gardens of about 20 square meters on both sides of the main entrance.  , there are three trees planted next to the bungalow, and the branches and leaves are not lush. It looks like a rural clinic in a town in the mainland of this era. It can only be seen from the sign hanging on the side of the door.  A film production company.

    A film production company like this is considered medium-sized or above among the hundreds of film production companies in Burbank. A medium-sized or above company with poor management like this is at least a medium-sized or above company in Burbank as a whole.  Twenty or thirty companies. The reason why I chose this one among many companies is not only because this company has a history of more than ten years and has produced several films. In the past, two or three films have achieved relatively good results.  achievements, and the location occupied by this company is definitely considered a prime location in Burbank. This location alone may double its value in a few years. Los Angeles is not as glorious as it seems. After more than 20 years,  In the future, a large area of ??the city will be bankrupt and the Auto City will be abandoned. Due to the development of Hollywood, housing prices nearby will only get higher and higher.

    If it weren't for the fact that the few movies this company invested in the past two years have failed to recover their costs, leaving the company heavily in debt, and the company's bosses don't know that there are other industries that can supplement the loopholes like other film company bosses.  He will never sell the company.

    [Hello, Mr. Brooke.  ] As soon as I walked to the door, I saw a middle-aged man in his forties, slightly fat, and somewhat bald walking out of the company. He was Brooke, the owner of Brooke Film Production Company.

    [Hello Yan!  ] Brooke's face looked a little unhappy. Although after signing today, he will completely get rid of this heavy burden of debt, but this company has condensed his hard work for more than ten years. From a small office,  Having grown to its present size, the company is basically his child.

    Under the watchful eyes of more than twenty employees in the company, Yan Xu, Gui Dong, Bess Berry, and Halle Berry followed Brooke into his office. His company was not a big deal for a film company owner.  Luxurious. Although it was cleaned very well and tidied up meticulously, you can still see that the sofa is old, the wall behind the cupboard is peeling off, and the ceiling has changed color. It should not have been renovated for a long time. This is also  It can be seen that the current situation of this company is really not optimistic.

    [Brooke, I have brought the contract and check. Once signed, it will be effective.  After Yan Xu walked into the office, he directly took out the prepared contract. Although it is very complicated to fully accept a company's change procedures, after signing this contract today, this company actually belongs to him.  .

    This is not the first time that Yan Xu has come to this company, nor is it the first time that Yan Xu has met Brooke. Buying a company is not that easy. In the information that Besberry provided,  Yan Xu had his eye on three companies and had contact with them all. One company was opened by a rich second-generation playboy to pick up girls. Even though he had debts, he was not worried about it, so he ruled it out as soon as he came into contact with it.  There is another company that has entered into late-stage negotiations like Brooke Film Production Company, but that company is far more expensive than Brooke in terms of final price and required investment, and they think Yan Xu is Chinese.  The lion opened his mouth, so he was passed by Yan Xu.

    As for Brooke Film Production Company's bid, it is relatively fair to Yan Xu, and the huge debt has made Brooke no longer able to continue to maintain the company's operations and urgently needs to sell, so the entire negotiation went smoothly, and some  The financial issues, personnel direction and other issues were resolved in three or four negotiations, and the final price was set, but it was so fast that it took more than three weeks.  .

    Today is the date that the two parties agreed to sign the contract. In other words, as long as Brooke signs the document, then this production company, which covers an area of ??nearly 300 square meters and has an office area of ??more than 200 square meters, belongs to Yan Xu.  .
