Compared to high latitudes, Christmas in Los Angeles is full of atmosphere, but there is always something missing.
Kai has been back for two days. He originally wanted Kelly and the others to come to Los Angeles to spend Christmas with her, but he didn't expect that after the three women went shopping in France together, they were not satisfied and actually followed Diana to heaven.
island……
Although strictly speaking, outsiders are not allowed to enter Paradise Island. But in any case, the privileged class exists everywhere, and Diana is the privileged class of Paradise Island. In addition, Kelly and Catherine are both women, so it is more accommodating.
Yes. Men are strictly prohibited from entering Paradise Island. After all, the Amazons hid in Paradise Island in the first place because of the persecution of men.
In short, Kai has completely lost contact with his two women...
What is this thing called?
Fortunately, Kai is not in the habit of celebrating Christmas.
So Kai planned to go to Chinatown with Ah Fu to find a familiar Chinese restaurant during the holiday and enjoy some authentic Chinese food. But on Christmas Eve, Kai received an invitation. It was the premiere of a movie.
The movie is considered a major step in Hollywood - Snow White and the Huntsman...
When Kai saw the invitation, he was stunned. Can this thing be made into a movie? After all, when I think of Snow White, the first thing I think of is Zi Gongxiang's animation. Will anyone really watch this thing made into a movie?
So out of curiosity, Kai searched for news about this movie.
Unexpectedly, this movie is not only famous, but also highly anticipated. After all, the Di Bao family's movies have been going smoothly in recent years, especially their "Pirates of the Caribbean" series, which has made a lot of money.
Full.
Now they have finally extended their hands to the animation adaptation.
At the same time, Kay also found out from the news why he was sent an invitation letter to the premiere of this movie. It turns out that the leading actress in this movie is Charlize Theron.
Well, Charlize Theron is not playing Snow White, she is a mature woman in her thirties anyway, so how could she possibly play a princess?
She plays the villain...the stepmother queen...
Seeing this, Kaidun's expectations for this movie were immediately reduced to the lowest level. Think about it, the biggest gimmick of this movie is actually the villain, and no one pays attention to the original heroine... You can imagine how this movie will turn out.
What kind of urine is it?
Here, Kai was still browsing the Internet for news about the movie, when a call came in from Sharlize Theron.
She came to invite Kai to the premiere.
Charlize Theron has actually been in contact with Kay since the A Nightmare on Elm Street incident, but Kay feels that he and her have nothing to do with each other, so he is not too enthusiastic about this kind of contact. Most likely it is Charlize Theron.
call him.
Of course, this is not because Sharlize Theron has any inappropriate thoughts about Kai.
Although Kai is a proud person at heart, she is not so arrogant that a strong woman with mature thoughts would let others fall hopelessly in love with her just because she saved her life. That is unrealistic, especially when
A strong woman like Charlize Theron dares to come to the United States alone to work hard when she is just a teenager. She is not the kind of little girl who doesn't understand anything.
She contacted Kai because she wanted to know the inside story of those exorcisms and hunts through Kai.
Kai didn't know what she was planning to do, but he instinctively resisted her getting too involved in this kind of thing. You must know that once you do something like demon hunting, you can only do it zero or countless times.
According to the witcher.
When you pay attention to those ghosts, you yourself also enter the ghosts' field of vision.
Anyway, once you start hunting monsters, you will encounter those things very easily in your life.
That's why Kai keeps dealing with Charlize Theron.
It's the same today. Originally, Kay planned to continue to deal with Charlize Theron and naturally wouldn't go to the premiere.
Unexpectedly, Sharlize Theron took the initiative to tell Kay that she would not explore those things anymore because the script had been completely completed!
script?
"The script of A Nightmare on Elm Street." Sharlize Theron explained. Remember that time when we went to Springwood to deal with Freddy, there was a boy with a shoehorn face, Quentin Smith? That kid loved movies very much, and he originally planned to
I went to college in Los Angeles, and then went to Hollywood like thousands of other kids who want to enter the entertainment industry.
As a result, he was lucky and met Shalizi while solving this incident.
He joked at the time that he wanted to make their experience into a movie.
Unexpectedly, Shalizi thought this idea was good, so she really invited Quentin to write the script. She didn't expect this kid to write a good script at first, but she didn't expect that Quentin was really suitable for this bowl of rice.
Not only did he write the script, he also practiced and drew a lot of camera scripts!
After reading Quentin's script, Shaliz immediately discovered Quentin's talent.
So Salize decided that Quentin would direct this horror film.
This is definitely a pie-in-the-sky offer, and Quentin certainly can't refuse. You know, Hollywood didn't know and said that "Luo Piao" with the title of director has no job. He, a high school graduate who has not yet entered Hollywood, actually has the opportunity.
Of course he wouldn't refuse to direct a horror film.
Of course, Shalizi is not a loss. After all, it is a low-budget horror film, not a blockbuster with special effects. There are not many actors in Los Angeles, just actors. The director did not ask for compensation and only received a script fee of US$50,000...
The total cost is calculated to be over 1.5 million at most!
Calculating the box office is not ideal, but video tapes can also make money. Don't think that movies must go to the theater box office. In fact, many low-cost B-level movies don't pay much attention to the box office. The income from video tapes is enough for the distributor. Like the very famous
The inferior B-level movie "Sharknado" was made five times in one go. It was not shown in theaters at all, but it still made a lot of money. What it relied on was video tapes.
In fact, Hollywood produces a lot of movies every year, most of which are never released because they are obviously not profitable. However, the video market still supports many small movie companies.
Although Shalizi was somewhat looking forward to the box office, what she thought was that if she gained something, she would lose her life. It would be great if it sold well, but if it didn't, she could make up for it from the video market.
It won't be a loss anyway.
The key is that this incident left such a deep impression on Sharize, so taking a photo of it can be considered a commemoration.
But Quentin valued this opportunity very much. He did not start the project immediately. He relied on Shalizi's relationship to intern in Hollywood, worked on various crews, became familiar with the process, and polished the script for excellence.
There is absolutely no way this movie can rely on special effects, stars or anything like that to attract movie fans.
After all, the budget only has so much, so Quentin can only polish the script. Win with plot and atmosphere. Horror movies don’t just watch this.
Unexpectedly, Shalizi became interested in this project, and she personally participated in the script creation, and even wanted to make a guest appearance in the film.
Shalizi had been contacting Kai before. On the one hand, she really wanted to keep in touch with Kai. After all, she felt safer with such an exorcism detective as her friend. On the other hand, she wanted Kai to give some advice and help with modifications.
Scripts, after all, are professionals.
Hearing this, Kai was speechless. He was truly entertained to death.
However, this made Kai a little more interested.
In his last life plus this life, Kai has never seen how to make a movie.,
So Kai very happily agreed to Shalizi's request to serve as a consultant for the film. It was just a phone call anyway. He didn't need to go to the scene to provide guidance, and he couldn't provide much guidance.
