As a director, Justin Lin is better, because he has already signed three film contracts with Daenerys Entertainment, and he can feel that Daenerys Entertainment attaches great importance to him.
As a newcomer, the hero and heroine of the film are not so relaxed.Even if they have also signed a brokerage company, if the movie fails to splash, they can only climb up from the bottom step by step.
Thinking of this, Amy Adams, as the heroine, even subconsciously held the hand of Jessica Chastain next to her.
The two girls of the same age have similar bottom-level backgrounds, similar ups and downs in life, and even similar appearances. Therefore, during the filming process, they naturally became a pair of good sisters.Originally, the two women had quietly discussed in private whether Simon Westero was interested in them when he personally selected them.
If the answer is yes, even if the two are together, I remember that there was exposure in the past two years. This is someone's preference, and they can't wait for it.
Unfortunately, until the last meeting at the opening party the day before yesterday, the high-flying young tycoon hadn't expressed anything.
This also means that they can only climb up by their own ability.
The movie in front of them seems to be an experimental work. Compared with other Hollywood movies, the cost is so low that it is not necessary, but they understand that this is a very important threshold.
Because Daenerys Entertainment attaches great importance to this project, even, it is rumored that Simon Westeros personally provided the idea.
As long as they can succeed, they will become famous in one fell swoop.
Fortunately, the turmoil in the auditorium did not ferment too much, and soon calmed down.
On the big screen, with the dialogue between the male and female protagonists, the general background of the story is displayed in front of the audience.
This is a young couple who just lived together. Because they found out that there was a supernatural event in the apartment, the boy bought an iRec digital camera and made some modifications to record the supernatural events that happened in the apartment for a long time. .
From the transformation of the iRec digital camera, it can be seen that the film is serious about the details.
Of course, it is also to prevent some people from taking this detail into account in the future, accusing the iRec used by the crew not being the official iRec that was advertised.
As for the real situation, in the boy's words, he asked a friend to help him modify it. The "friend" here is actually a professional engineer of Tinkber.However, if someone can pick out this 'thorn' in the future, then Daenerys Entertainment will also recognize it.
The detailed arrangements that Simon intended to explain are mainly to avoid the mistakes of "The Blair Witch".
The "Blair Witch" in the original time and space was completely successful through fraudulent publicity. If the distribution company of the film was not a fledgling small company, but the Big Seven, it is hard to say whether anyone would jump out and demand compensation. People use the conduct of lawyers at every turn, and this kind of thing is completely done.
Moreover, even if the previous "The Blair Witch" was not entangled in lawsuits, it still destroyed it after establishing a pseudo-documentary genre.
Because The Blair Witch really sucks if you don't take into account the film's deceitful publicity.
In comparison, "Ghost Story" is a truly outstanding pseudo-documentary film. In order to directly establish the pseudo-documentary genre through this project, Simon paid great attention to every detail.
Inside the theater.
The film also lived up to Simon's expectations.
After the initial commotion, the audience quickly entered the plot with the interaction between the hero and heroine.
Compared with the 130 minutes of the original rough-cut version, the final film, according to Simon's request, was exactly 100 minutes, and the prefix of the story was 20 minutes, which was 10 minutes compressed than the rough-cut version. The prelude to "Number One" is quite similar.
20 minutes is a very appropriate intro time.
It can not only fully explain the background of the story, but also get to the point before the audience loses patience.
On the big screen, it is the ghost road that started in the 21st minute.
In the first night, of course nothing too strange happened, but just the sense of urgency brought by the still picture under that special angle has already raised the mood of the audience.
Then, the story progresses sequentially.
From the initial automatic opening and closing of the door, to the heroine's start of sleepwalking, to the appearance powder spread by the hero and heroine being messed up by unknown things, the mood of the audience is constantly raised.
till the end.
After the male protagonist found his girlfriend sleepwalking again, he chased him out, but he did not reappear. Only the strange female protagonist reappeared in the camera as if he had floated into the bedroom, holding a sharp knife dripping blood in his hand.The heroine with a strange figure wandered around the bedroom for a while, finally looked at the camera, and then swooped with her whole face.

Amid the sound of breaking, the movie came to an abrupt end.
"what!"
In the screening hall, the audience had been suppressed for more than an hour. Following the last action of the heroine, someone finally screamed.
Galina Banshikova, who was sitting in the best viewing position in the center of the hall, held her sister tightly in one hand and patted her chest: "It's scary, it's scary, um, there are subtitles, um... the police Micah's body was found the next day, but Katie was missing, and her whereabouts are still unknown. This, what do you mean, it can't be true, right?"
Eva really wanted to throw a blank stare at her sister.
However, even if the subtitles at the end of the film are not the finishing touch, they do serve as the icing on the cake. It can be regarded as a kind of relaxation after arousing the audience's curiosity, and it is also a kind of complement to the film. The most frightening moment is over. Although it is scary for a while, it will inevitably give people a feeling of no beginning and no end.
And since it is a pseudo-documentary, the male protagonist is dead and the female protagonist is missing, so it is impossible to shoot some follow-ups from a third perspective. Therefore, adding a subtitle is just right.
After supplementing the subtitles, the credits began to appear on the big screen.
not long.
So it's over soon.
When the lights came on, there was a brief moment of silence in the projection hall, and soon there was warm applause.
Those who can come to watch the movie today, whether they are media reporters, film critics or ordinary audiences, are basically veterans who often spend time in the movie circle. Even though the movie was a bit rough at first, after the whole movie, this movie is good. Bad, everyone can basically judge.
All in all, no one can deny that this is a very brilliant experimental film.
Danny Morris took the stage again with several creators in person and started the media interaction session.
The first reporter who got the opportunity to ask a question asked a very interesting question: "Excuse me, Mr. Lin, how did you come up with the idea of using iRec to shoot such a movie?"
Although he has already made several films, Justin Lin is still a newcomer mentality at this time, and he is already nervous in his heart. When he heard this question, he didn't know how to answer it.
It was the idea of a Hollywood mogul himself, including shooting with iRec.
However, after the film was completed, the other party did not have any signatures in the project, and even personally confessed not to mention himself, Lin Yibin really didn't know how to answer for a while.
In fact, if you want to deal with the reporter, you will come here casually.
However, since a certain tycoon was involved, Lin Yibin instinctively did not dare to be so casual.
Luckily there was Danny Morris on stage.
The president of New World Pictures certainly understands what his boss is thinking. Simon is now pursuing the status of an invisible man in an all-round way to minimize his public exposure, so that not only this project, but also the "Titanic" premiered in Venice yesterday. My boss gave up the signature of the amazing theme song, and he didn't let anyone mention it.
Seeing that Justin Lin was stuck, Danny Morris naturally took the question and started to say: "Since the birth of iRec, many filmmakers have been making similar attempts in the past two years. Daenerys Entertainment has always encouraged innovation. The Ghost Story idea is such a good one again, certainly not to be missed."
Chapter 1170 100 kilometers
"Look at this, look at this, this is Roger Ebert's evaluation: "One of the things I like very much about Ghost Story" is that its silence and waiting are far better than the rough cutting and blood splattering. It didn't happen, but it gave people a deep-rooted fear, wow, that's great."
