Chapter 1 Screenwriting Classics

Escape, escape, escape quickly!

In the dim cinema, there were bursts of exclamations coming and going.

The audience's emotions were moved to the peak in the thrilling plot reversal of the big screen. The heroine was on the verge of death one second, but the next was dangerous.

Looking at the heroine covered in plasma climbing up the passing pickup in a scream, she urged and shouted at the driver with a nearly crazy expression while laughing like crazy.

Behind him, the fat murderer raised the chainsaw in his hand, limping and waving the harsh chainsaw sound from the chainsaw under the reflection of the rising sun.

Through the amplification of the huge sound of the theater, the fear in the hearts of the audience is constantly stimulated.

Even though they were just across the big screen, they were afraid that the chainsaw madman wearing a human skin mask would suddenly rush out of the video and start a massacre at them.

The final movie scene, against the rising sun, uses the murderer to wield the chainsaw as the final finishing shot, indicating that all the stories have not ended.

The movie ends.

The scrolling subtitle table begins to appear.

However, the audience in the theater was still immersed in the last scene of the movie and could not calm down for a long time.

After a while, accompanied by a rough curse, the originally calm theater seemed to have come alive and began to sound various noises of discussion.

"Farke, this is the scariest movie I've ever seen. Damn, Damn..."

"The murderer's family is completely crazy. They actually enjoy killing people. When I saw my two grandchildren letting my grandfather hammer the heroine, I was shocked. The screenwriter who wrote this kind of plot was definitely a crazy person. However, that scene is really cool, and I feel a little chill when I recall it now."

"Have you heard of it? It is said that the scene of this movie was adapted from real cases."

"No, then I will never go to Texas in my life."

"I decided to ask my friend to watch the movie again."

"Hey, I think so too."

...

"Congratulations, Allen."

A corner of the cinema sees the reactions of the audience.

A black-haired Asian man turned his head and congratulated the young man of the same skin.

The Asian man named Wan Ziren is a well-known thriller director in Hollywood in recent years. Two years ago, he made a box office of 50 million US dollars in the film market with a small-cost horror movie called "Saw" for 1.2 million US dollars. He successfully became famous and entered the eyes of major film companies.

However, with the success of the movie "Saw", Wan Ziren's directorial career has also been somewhat affected.

The producer of the film hopes that he will focus on the development of the chainsaw series. In two years, Wan Ziren has directed and participated in the two sequels of "Saw 2" and "Saw 3".

I finally had the energy to shoot my own movie.

As an Asian who has been struggling in Hollywood for many years, Wan Ziren is very clear about what he is good at.

Because, for the conception of the new movie, he undoubtedly selected it in the thriller and horror type he is best at.

In order to make a movie that he was satisfied with, he personally participated in the creation of the new movie, but the stories he wrote were somewhat unsatisfactory. It seemed that shooting the chainsaw series one after another has exhausted his inspiration.

And just when Wan Ziren was at a loss, a horror movie script about murderers came into his eyes.

The young and handsome man in front of him who has a pair of bright eyes and has a Chinese background as well as himself is the screenwriter of this new work.

"I'm just a little bit lucky."

In the face of Wen Ziren's congratulations, Allen, or Zhao Yuan smiled with a modest look on his face.

He was indeed a little lucky. Although he had full confidence in classic horror-themed films like "Texas Chainsaw Massacre", he also knew that in the context of Hollywood, the quality of the script is important, but it is often not the most critical link.

After all, there are so many Hollywood screenwriters, and there are countless movie scripts produced every day.

Who can guarantee that his works will be selected so lucky and at the same time make excellent films?

The situation of good scripts encountering bad production directors not only happens in the East, but also happens in Hollywood.

What makes Zhao Yuan lucky is that his script was not only selected, but the director who filmed the movie was also very good at horror themes.

Therefore, this classic horror movie from Zhao Yuan’s original world can be fully presented.

Although the quality of the movie content was not much related to the subsequent rewards of the screenwriter, Zhao Yuan was more or less concerned about the first script he had "created" (transported) since time travel.

After all, although the quality of a movie is not critical to the screenwriter, a good start can always make him a little famous in Hollywood, at least in the future, and at least improve the rewards of the scripts. If the subsequent box office of the movie is good, the screenwriter will also benefit from it and get some additional rewards.

The reason why he is so snobbish is not because Zhao Yuanshi is a philosophical person.

Instead, the capitalist country of America is real capital, and Hollywood, as the most representative existence, relies on capital.

A screenwriter like him who is rich and powerless would naturally need to spend more time to survive in such a large capital society or even become a member of the upper-level capital.

"Allen, Hollywood won't look up to you because of your modesty."

As a person who has experienced it, Wen Ziren looked at Zhao Yuan's humble reaction and then spoke and reminded him.

Wen Ziren's appreciation of Zhao Yuan is not only because of the same skin color, but also because of his talent in the script.

As a director who is also good at screenwriters, Wan Ziren knows the special features of "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" better than ordinary people. The arrangements of various plots, especially the settings of chainsaw Massacre, have vaguely developed a fixed routine that transcends current Hollywood movies.

Wan Ziren had a premonition that once she waited until the success of "Texas Chainsaw Massacre".

The next horror movies will rush to imitate the plot of the elements in their movies.

After all, there are settings such as murderous men in the pickup truck, hidden murderous intent at the gas station, and symbols such as skinny murderous men with human skin masks, chainsaws that make harsh sounds, screams and chases in the middle of the night have also appeared, but no one has gathered them all in a movie to present them.

It can be said that "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" is a movie that combines various classic elements of Hollywood horror movies today.
