Chapter 440 Creating a New Script

"The movie "Ghost Story 2" has confirmed the director and will start filming in May."

"It is reported that the director of "Ghost Story 2" has been confirmed a few days ago. Zhao, the director and screenwriter of the previous work, will continue to direct this horror film for Universal. It has been a pleasure working with each other.”

"According to the information released by Universal, the failure of the sequel of "The Blair Witch 2" forced Universal to change its original plan, abandon the shooting plan of the new movie, and invite The Director of a series of popular films such as "Record", "Heroes Out of Control" and other popular films, Zhao re-directed the filming and filmed sequels, in an attempt to heal the impact of "The Blair Witch 2"'s box office failure."

"It is worth mentioning that Zhao was also the director and screenwriter of the previous work of "The Blair Witch 2", but the former became the biggest dark horse at the box office that year, while the sequel filmed by Universal has become the most impressive movie this year. One of the disappointing sequel films."

At the beginning of the month, news about Universal's upcoming filming of "Ghost Story 2" began to appear in major media.

After a period of rest, Zhao Yuan started to start the sequel of the "Ghost Story" series of movies with the idea that if you have money, you can't make money if you don't make money.

On the other hand, Universal is also having a headache because of "The Blair Witch 2", so the two sides hit it off and finalized the shooting plan for the new movie.

Although, after the failure of "The Witch" last time, Universal was somewhat apprehensive about the filming of the sequel, but considering that Zhao Yuan is in charge of the film this time, Universal still invested decisively.

At the same time, because it is a sequel film, although it is still mainly a 'pseudo-documentary', Zhao Yuan changed his previous shooting methods and decided to add more industrialized shooting methods to the filming process throughout the filming process. , and also incorporated more special effects shots into it.

This makes the shooting time of "Ghost Story 2" longer than any "pseudo-documentary" movie he directed in the past.

It's time for an 'amazing' month to arrive.

It took a month. After filming the film, the follow-up special effects shots were handed over to Universal. Zhao Yuan, who had a short break, was not idle.

To be honest, he is still very concerned about the world after the [World Evolution Rate] is 100%.

So, a return to the Beverly Hills estate.

Zhao Yuan couldn't wait to start writing the new script.

Script 14: "Revenge"

Plot overview: Love and hate, the two most powerful emotions in the world.

To love someone, you can throw everything away regardless of your life, and to hate someone, you can also throw everything away for it.

And these two emotions, like two sides of a coin, seem to be separated but are tightly bonded together.

Washington, BSI headquarters.

Amanda's squad is punished for the incident in Haiti.

The fortune teller who was originally at the headquarters suddenly disappeared.

A man dragging a suitcase came to the BSI headquarters, claiming to bring them gifts...

……

For the new script "Revenge", Zhao Yuan spent a lot of thought to construct this script, and even the original name of this script was not the seemingly ordinary name in front of him, but "Weird Club". From the selected name, it can be seen that the content of the new script is about the plot related to "The Weird Club".

After completing the design of the script, the rest is the collection of [materials]. Considering the particularity of "Revenge", it is not surprising that there are a lot of [materials] put into the script this time.

In the next few days, Zhao Yuan has been looking for [materials] that fit the content of the script, and finally got all the available [materials] together.

[Material 1]: Ring——50000 [Story value]

[Material 2]: Gold coins - 30000 [Story value]

[Material 3]: Suitcase - 30000 [Story value]

[Material 4]: Statue——120000 [Story value]

[Material 5]: Nursery Rhyme Book——250000 [Story Value]

There are already a lot of [materials] for the evolution of the new script, but Zhao Yuan is obviously not satisfied with this. He put his eyes on the system's inventory, and without much hesitation, Zhao Yuan picked up some cards that had been selected long ago. All the cards were also put into the new script, not only the cards with a faint bronze luster, but even the [Silver] level cards were put into it by Zhao Yuan.

"Whoo~"

Even for Zhao Yuan, investing so many cards at once was unprecedented.If possible, he naturally hopes to use the new script this time to fully pull the [World Evolution Rate] to full at one time. However, the final result depends on the evolution of the script.

All he has to do is evolve the script.

"Ding! Part of the plot of the script involves development outside the plot, and it needs to consume more [plot value] to evolve and correct it. Do you want to continue!"

"continue!"

"Ding! The materials match, and 4000000 [story value] points are needed to generate the storyline. Please choose the place where the storyline will evolve!"

The 400 million [Story Value], even for Zhao Yuan, was an unprecedented consumption. He paused for a moment on the [Story Value] points at the top of the system panel, and then he gritted his teeth and continued to confirm.

"Choose evolution location 1—Washington!"

"Choose evolution location 2—the spirit world!"

"Ding! The evolution location is confirmed. The evolution of this script requires a total of 5500000 [plot value] points. Do you want to evolve it!"

【Evolution begins】

……

The volatility brought about by the [Story Value] exceeding 500 million is obviously unprecedented.

Under Zhao Yuan's gaze, the props selected as [Materials] and the [Cards] in the system inventory were thrown into the system one after another.

Washington, street.

A decadent man walked aimlessly on the road, his body was full of despair and sadness.

"Hey!"

Collided with a pedestrian on the road, the man continued to move forward blankly, the pedestrian grabbed his shoulder, opened his mouth to say something, suddenly noticed the look of despair in the man's eyes, hesitated for a while, or let go .

"Be careful in the future."

Facing the pedestrian's reminder, the man's face remained unchanged, he turned his head slowly and continued to walk towards 'home' step by step, like a walking dead who lost all his emotions.

Just like that, walking forward aimlessly, the man's footsteps accidentally tripped over something on the side of the road, and his whole body staggered and fell in front of him.

The pain in his body made the man's dull and sad face react slightly, he slowly stood up from the ground, turned his head and glanced at the place where he tripped.

I saw a homeless man sitting there with patches on his body and a worn cloak wrapped around his body.

And the item that tripped him was the old suitcase in the hands of the homeless.
