Screenwriter Mystery

"Smart: The Ghost Story" is essentially a remake of "Blair the Witch."

Using the "pseudo-documentary" as a gimmick, the same routine is used to integrate horror scenes into daily DV shooting, so as to achieve the purpose of scaring people.

If so, the only difference between the two.

Perhaps the success of "Blair Witch" is only limited to one of them, while "Smart: Ghost Story" has successfully continued this box office myth, creating a series of works, and each sequel The box office is pretty good.

"To be honest, it's hard for me to imagine, Ellen, that after creating "Blair Witch" and "Modern Family", you can still innovate in the script of 'pseudo-documentary' and come up with such a story..."

After the box office success of "Blair Witch", Hollywood is not without production companies to follow suit and produce the same type of film work.

However, with the exception of the vulgar copycat "Brian the Wizard" spoofed by a small company called Shelter Films, the rest of the films made in the form of 'pseudo-documentaries' are completely unreliable. Without exception, they all suffered fiasco, including a mid-sized production company like Lionsgate.

And even the so-called "Wizard Bryan" is actually just a copycat film that is popular. Aside from the fact that the title of the movie is somewhat related to "Blair Witch", the content is completely different and has no similarities.

However, under such a premise, Ron Mayer still expressed his optimism about Zhao Yuan's new script, at least superficially.

Except for the film type of 'pseudo-documentary', the low cost does not have any investment burden for Universal.

With some calculations, once the box office of "Smart: Ghost Recording" is not as good as expected.

Then Universal will also stand in a relatively favorable position in the follow-up copyright negotiations of "Blair Witch".

Universal can borrow "Spirit: Ghost Record" to squeeze the copyright purchase price of "Blair Witch", and once the film is successful, it will be another successful investment for Universal.

It can be said that, regardless of the success or failure of the box office of "Smart: Ghost Story", Universal has relatively favorable conditions.

Although, the heart has its own calculations.

However, on the surface Ron Mayer still stretched out his hand with a smile on his face.

"The evaluation of the new script will be completed by Universal as soon as possible"

"Then, happy cooperation, Alan."

"Pleasant to work with."

He also stretched out his hand, looking at Ron Mayer's expression in front of him, Zhao Yuan seemed to think of something.

"The new contract should be calculated according to the new agreement signed by the Screenwriters Guild?"

Hearing Zhao Yuan's words, the expression on Ron Mayer's face was slightly stunned, but he quickly reacted and nodded back without hesitation.

"Of course!"

...

"Can you tell me what happened?"

Finalized the shooting intention of the new script, and came out of the Universal Plaza in Los Angeles.

Returning to Zhao Yuan in San Marino, looking at the police car parked in front of his house, he was secretly surprised.

On the surface, he still made a puzzled expression and stepped forward to ask.

"Sir, who are you?"

Reaching out to stop Zhao Yuan, a white policeman in charge of patrolling the area politely asked.

"I am the owner of this room."

Reaching out his hand and pointing to the building behind the policeman, Zhao Yuan replied.

"Sorry, sir."

Hearing Zhao Yuan's answer, the policeman immediately retracted his outstretched arm, held the hat on his head and replied, "Actually, it was because we received a call to report that someone was stuck in the gap of the window. Among them, there was no way to break free for an hour. When I arrived at the scene, I found out that it was actually two thieves who called the police. They should have been stuck on the window. …”

When it comes to calling the police, the expressions on the faces of the white police officers become a little weird.

It is conceivable how surprised and confused they were when they saw that the identity of the alarm object was actually a thief after they went out to the police.

As well-trained police officers, they have a wealth of experience in police presence.

However, in the white police patrol, there has never been anything more absurd than a thief calling the police for help.

For a time, the white policeman did not know whether he should lament the unluckyness of the two thieves or the luck of Zhao Yuan, the owner of the house.

"After confirming the identities of the two thieves, we found the stolen finances from their bodies, and both of them happily admitted their original burglary behavior. Because of the solid evidence, we immediately The decision to arrest the two was made, but before that, the two unfortunate thieves need to be rescued first."

The thief stuck in the crevice was tighter than expected. Even if the police on the scene exerted all their strength, he couldn't pull out his head, but instead caused the other party to scream.

Finally, after spending nearly half an hour, turning to use a series of props from soap to olive oil.

Just barely pulled out the thief's stuck head.

"I'm sorry for the trouble with your life, sir."

"For the two thieves who broke into the house, we will give them the legal sanctions they deserve. I believe they should spend some time in jail."

Burglary, the evidence is solid.

Even if the two thieves wanted to defend themselves, they didn't have any excuses.

In any case, it's not bad for the police patrolling in a wealthy area like San Marino, and their attitude is polite.

The two hapless thieves were escorted into the police car, and the white policeman immediately apologized to Zhao Yuan.

Watching the police car take the two dejected thieves in the back seat to leave~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Zhao Yuan turned around and went back home, looking at the fallen cabinet and the slightly messy interior of the house.

But his eyes immediately fell on the table, the motionless [Voodoo Doll].

"So, it's all your fault?"

Zhao Yuan can't believe it, there really is such a coincidence in the world.

The two thieves who broke into the house just happened to be stuck by the window, and the other was pressed by the cabinet and couldn't move.

Therefore, there is no doubt that the only thing that can make these two thieves so unlucky is the [Voodoo Doll] left in the house.

Hear Zhao Yuan's voice.

The [Voodoo Doll], who was still lying motionless on the dining table in disguise, immediately got up, grabbed the toothpick-thick trident in his hand, raised his head and nodded to Zhao Yuan, and patted his chest with a short hand made of wool. Vice-inviting expression.
