That is to say, when the Gambling Saint broke out in Hong Kong, Yan Xu and the others in the United States had already started the next step. It can be said that three films were started at the same time. This is the North American Dragon Tribe branch, even before it was acquired. This is a big move that has never been done before. Of course, having three films like this start at the same time is also a huge challenge to the current capabilities of the Dragon North American branch. Basically, the entire Dragon North American branch has utilized its resources and even urgently recruited a lot of behind-the-scenes staff. .
Of course, this is Hollywood, and people working behind the scenes of movies like this are basically everywhere. Even the people who wash dishes in many bars and restaurants don¡¯t know which country they were in. They were famous actors or behind the scenes, so recruitment like this is There are a lot of people applying, not to mention that the North American branch of the Dragon Tribe has just become famous due to the death video, so finding the manpower can be said to be a piece of cake.
Spiegel is like Yan Xu. Although he really likes movies full of blood, but because he recently filmed perverted murderers, he has recently been particularly interested in perverted murders or serial killers. Although in the film I will not forget the blood and gore, but I also started to buy into some thrillers. However, the plot in Psycho Murderer is too monotonous, and the killer¡¯s method of teasing the protagonist is not highlighted. In addition, the actor¡¯s performance is really terrible. It was too artificial, so it didn't achieve good results.
And this time, the script Yan Xu gave him was the kind of movie that belongs to a perverted killer and is based on the theme of a sadist. The whole thing happened in a hotel, and there were not many scenes. There aren't many actors either. The script mainly tells the story of a couple whose marriage has come to an end. One last trip before parting amicably. The changed route caused their car to break down. In the darkness, they saw a motel, which seemed to bring them a light of hope, but they did not expect that what they were facing was not good luck, but It's a cat and mouse fight, it's easy for them to walk into this motel, but they want to get out. Then it's not that simple.
This is the Pinhole Hotel. Although the whole plot is not particularly complicated, it still requires a certain amount of skills to capture the tension and urgency in a small space.
This work was once one of the masterpieces of Nimero de Antal, a young director born and raised in Los Angeles. However, he is only fifteen years old now and does not know which middle school he is in. Although this work was later It seems that the plot is a little clich¨¦, but the setting of the plot is extremely reasonable and compact. It also achieved good box office results that year and is considered a representative work among horror films. Later, it was extended to sequel works.
¡°And Spiegel had just filmed Psycho Murderer, although the results weren¡¯t great. But I also accumulated some experience during the filming, especially the experience of advancing the plot in a closed environment. That was in a completely closed supermarket, and this time it was in a hotel. There are still some similarities between the two films. , so Spiegel should be able to get started quickly.
As for Gordon, he is an all-rounder. From jumping zombies to living demons to demon dolls, the three movies cover zombie themes, technology themes and fairy tale themes. This time Yan Xu gave him a biological theme. script.
In Hollywood, there are not many such biological-type films. Such biological-type films can be roughly divided into two types. One is the mutation produced by using real creatures as samples, just like the long-lasting King Kong movie. Spielberg's Jaws and subsequent series, as well as the particularly famous Fly Man in the past two years, are all mutations and transformations based on creatures inherent in reality.
There is also a fantasy type, which is completely based on myths and legends, or monsters or creatures created by imagination, such as the famous Alien series, Predator, which was just released last year, and Gremlins and goblins.
This time Gordon is going to shoot the former. In fact, when creating such a script, Yan Xu was completely influenced by The Fly. There have been many monster movies in recent years, but there are not many insect-like ones. , but many insect films are often very exciting. Such small creatures are tens of thousands of times more powerful than humans on the earth, and their power is terrifying once they burst out.
Cockroach, this is Yan Xu's choice. This kind of insect once lived in the same era as the dinosaurs. It is one of the oldest insects on the earth. It has not changed much in appearance for hundreds of millions of years. It has strong fecundity, vitality and adaptability. They can live a normal life even under radiation exposure, and their ability to endure radiation is hundreds to thousands of times that of humans.
This kind of insect that can survive even after its head is cut off is the favorite of many movie screenwriters. Not only has there been many movies about cockroaches, but also?An episode of the popular science fiction TV series The X-Files in the 1990s also used cockroaches.
The script that Yan Xu handed over to Gordon was the famous horror movie about cockroaches. Because of the virus carried by cockroaches, the whole of New York could be said to have fallen into darkness. The victims were basically children. In order to To completely eliminate these virus-carrying cockroaches, biologists Susan and his wife created a huge cockroach. This cockroach can secrete a kind of mucus in its body, kill other cockroaches, has no reproductive ability, and has a lifespan of only Half a year later, things did not go as they expected. During the three years of being raped, these cockroaches gradually adapted to the surrounding environment. Not only did they change their gender and reproduce, but they also grew larger and larger, and even imitated their natural enemies. Humans not only behave like humans, but are also close to humans in appearance, so three years later, Susan and his wife set out to eliminate this species and deal with this murderous monster Judas.
This film achieved very good box office results that year, and was followed by two sequels. Although the third film was only released on video tape, it is one of the sci-fi monster horror films. The best among them.
This kind of work also has the largest investment among the three films to be released by Dragon Clan, with an investment of six million U.S. dollars. You must know that even the highest-grossing movie Rain Man last year only had an investment of eight million U.S. dollars. Compared with the 1.5 million of Pinhole Hotel, it is completely possible to make several movies of it. (To be continued)
