In addition to Spiegel and Gordon, Yan Xu has of course also started his own new film. With the great success of Death Video, Yan Xu has now become a famous new horror film director. If we talk about his House No. 1 was his first step in Hollywood, Meal for Beasts was his second film to show his prominence in Hollywood, and now Death Video is his third film. These three works not only made him It was completely exposed to the public eye, and it also allowed him to gain a firm foothold in Hollywood. It can even be said that he was noticed by many film companies, film critics and investors, and of course many advertisers.
Yan Xu's new film was also thought of when he and Halle Berry were having sex in a motel. At that time, he not only had the idea of ??Death Video, but also the Pinhole Hotel in front of it, but they were all his ideas. I thought of it in that small hotel.
This movie is still related to motels. Of course it is not the famous Human Skin Inn, but another famous thriller motel movie.
A fat man who killed six people in a motel four years ago was sentenced to death, but before his death, his attending doctor accidentally discovered a diary from his childhood, which also confirmed his schizophrenia. But this kind of schizophrenia is not divided into two as usual, but there are eleven personalities in that body, so a story in another world happened, a story about eleven people.
"Similarly, in motels, there are former police officers who have changed their careers to become drivers, female celebrities who have declined, and prostitutes. There are couples. There is a family of three. There are police and prisoners, and of course the hotel manager, eleven complete strangers in a completely isolated hotel, and a killing begins.
These eleven people are actually the eleven personalities in the body of the little fat man. Among these people, all of them are the most evil personalities. Such a killing is absolutely wonderful and makes everyone fall into deep despair. Deeply suspicious. And the final ending is absolutely surprising.
Fatal ID, which won the Saturn Award for Best Action, Adventure, Thriller Film and Best Special Edition DVD, cost more than 20 million in 2003 and earned more than 50 million at the box office in North America, and the global box office exceeded 90 million US dollars. , and is regarded as a classic by many horror film fans.
For example, horror films in this era basically follow the same pattern. Such a horror film will definitely make people's eyes shine and feel novel. It may even remind people of Hitchcock, except for the opening ten minutes. Apart from the boredom. The following plot can be said to be closely linked, and every step of the plot is full of foreshadowing.
certainly. To make such a film in this era, Yan Xu does not need to spend so much money. Although he has to build a motel inside the studio, it is precisely because of this that the numerous outside shots are omitted, which also makes Preparing for the rain and other aspects later was a piece of cake. You must know that the location selection and travel expenses outside are a big burden, as well as food and accommodation expenses. But here, the actors are basically all locals in Los Angeles. or living here, don¡¯t care about their accommodation at all.
What¡¯s more important is the weather, because whether the entire film is in the dark or in the rain, these can be adjusted at any time in the studio, so there is no need to worry about the film stopping due to any natural reasons.
[Card! ] Very good, ready for the next one.
Yan Xu was sitting in the studio. In front of him was a motel that looked a bit shabby. Although many parts of this hotel were just scenery, a lot of care was taken in the construction of the main rooms. At least at a glance. You don't feel that the walls are thin and there are all kinds of furniture inside.
The filming of the entire movie has been going on for more than ten days. Although Yan Xu has already imprinted the entire movie in his mind and there are no extra shots, shooting in the United States is not as fast as shooting in Hong Kong. , this of course depends on the efforts of the Screen Actors Guild.
In the United States, entertainers are the same as ordinary workers. They all have strict working hours. It is absolutely impossible to stay up late and only follow a few hours a day like in Hong Kong, even if it is an occasional extra schedule. One or two hours, but also some high overtime pay.
Today's shooting will be the highlight of the film, because it is mainly a thriller-based film. Although there are some physical conflicts, they are not the main scene, such as some There are very few big scenes in action movies, and today's scene is the only big scene in the movie, and it is also the only explosion in the movie.
Because everyone trapped in the motel died one by one, these strangers began to be suspicious of each other.
AndThe area around the hotel has been flooded, and everyone is a suspect. You don¡¯t know what will happen if you stay. The protagonist Edward asks Alice, the mother of the family of three who is the least suspected, to drive away with her child Timsey, but While he was arguing with the fake policeman Rhodes, the car that was about to be opened suddenly exploded.
This is also the last set of shots for the crew before the big holiday. Although the movie was only shot for more than ten days, it was really difficult for everyone in the movie, although most of them have starred in Hollywood for several years. They are actors in the movie, but this story takes place on a rainy night, so everyone basically soaks in water every day. During filming, their clothes rarely dry out.
In the entire studio, the water spray guns of those machines can be said to be the busiest. They have basically not stopped for more than ten days. Although in order to prevent the actors from catching colds due to excessive water spraying, they sprayed water from the water guns. The temperature of the water is suitable. If you keep soaking, you can endure it, but once you don't have your own role to take a temporary rest next to you, it will be very uncomfortable. The whole wet clothes stick to your body, and as the temperature dissipates It's getting colder gradually, and because there are so many actors in this play, you will have your own part soon and you can't change clothes in your free time.
Of course, besides these, there is another reason for this holiday, that is, the Spring Festival is coming soon. Although such a festival is very unfamiliar to these Americans, it is very important to Yan Xu. Days like this, of course he would not continue to work like crazy. (To be continued)
