Chapter 1012: Feminist Films

According to the impression I have seen before, it is not enough to say how horrible "Human Centipede" is. It is more disgusting. Those terrifying images that are terrifying to the horror in the eyes of Western audiences fall in the eyes of Eastern audiences. A feeling of nausea may also cause various concurrent nausea and nausea
Tom Hicks had contact with Ronan for the first time, so he couldn't directly ask, his eyes turned to John Worst for help.
John Worst asked immediately: "Mr. Anderson, this script?"
Ronan put down the script and said, "Director Hicks, the theme you chose is really bold."
Tom Hicks smiled and said, "I think everyone feels disgusting when they hear the story of "Human Centipede" for the first time, but they cannot help their curiosity. I want to find out."
He knew that the opportunity for newcomers is rare. If he missed this time, it may become more difficult to invest again. He gritted his teeth and said: "From the time I wrote the script, I thought that this interesting chain reaction could create a special The effect-the more horrible and abnormal, the more likely it is to cause people's morbid psychology of private prying."
As a potential investor, Ronan also raised his own doubts: "Your script establishes a prerequisite for an unpleasant story, and then uses a real and uncomfortable picture to make the most intuitive description. The imaginable visual stimulus is unbearable for anyone with a weaker heart, and it can be regarded as the biggest threat to the market prospects of a horror movie.
This remark made Tom Hicks' heart chuckle for a moment, and he pondered for a moment, then said: "Mr. Anderson, I wonder if you have noticed a phenomenon in Hollywood horror movies."
Ronan looked at him: "Please speak straight."
Tom Hicks let out a sigh of relief, pressed down the beige cowboy hat, and said: "After dismemberment has become a commonplace in horror movies, we have to challenge a whole new level...related to the human centipede The visual horror setting is not simply to create a certain nerve-stimulating impact, but also to continuously extend people’s bottom line. When the audience has some uncomfortable reactions while watching the film, I can’t help but wonder if my friends around me have similar feelings? In my opinion, this is an ingenious cycle with great psychological implications."
Ronan also knows this. Generally speaking, traditional American horror films are declining as a whole. Even if a new horror film comes out, it will go through a brand new package like "Chain Saw".
Most typically, several new "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" were filmed in the same way. As a result, the market response was worse than one.
The words of Tom Hicks continue: "As a filmmaker, especially in terms of a horror film, I think the most interesting thing is that the things you make can really scare others. I think I have seen it. The best audience feedback I can imagine. I have always known that this basic story concept is bound to arouse people’s backlash, but the audience’s response is definitely different, and I think it can also cause great repercussions."
"Director Hicks, your idea is very special." Ronan already had a plan in his mind: "Such an idea is hard for ordinary people to think of."
Tom Hicks pulled down the beige cowboy hat again, and said: "Actually, this idea came from a joke with my friends. I was watching TV with a few good friends at the time. I remember we saw a molestation of a child. The criminals’ news, so I joked to them,
This kind of person’s mouth should be sewn to the of a fat truck driver as a punishment for their crime.

He smiled embarrassedly: "Undoubtedly, this is a very disgusting joke, because my friends all say that such an idea is too evil, but I suddenly thought about For a horror movie, this disgusting joke is such a perfect concept and material, so I started to use this as a starting point to develop a complete story."
Ronan nodded slowly and said, "Director Hicks, Relativity Entertainment can take over your project."
Hearing this, Tom Hicks couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, with an unconscious smile on his face. After all, it was a rare first time for a director like him who had no successful resume in the past.
"There are two prerequisites." Tom Hicks' resume is not convincing, Ronan must be responsible for the investment: "First, you need to take a short trial clip; second, given the limitations of the subject matter, you The project’s production budget will not exceed $300,000."
This made Tom Hicks a little embarrassed, but his family knew about his own affairs, and he was not the kind of brain that thinks that his talents would be enough to make people admire him. After thinking for a while, he gritted his teeth and agreed: "No problem, I can accept it."
On the whole, Ronan is still quite cautious. "Human Centipede" must be a niche subject. High investment means huge risks and may not even recover the cost.
Low-input B-level film is a must.
Ronan returned the script to Tom Hicks and said: "You can go to Shahai Entertainment to talk about specific cooperation at any time."
Tom Hicks collected the script: "Can I go now?"
"Of course." When Ronan saw Tom Hicks put the script in the file bag, he suddenly thought of one thing: "By the way, it's better to revise the script and put the story development background in the US.
Tom Hicks thought for a while and said: "The United States is also OK. I was in the Netherlands when I wrote the script, so I subconsciously set the background of the story in Europe."
Ronan said: "American audiences are still generally concerned about stories that happen in the United States."
John Waters added abruptly: "In Americans, Americans are the most abnormal."
Ronan couldn't help laughing: "John's words are the most appropriate."
In the Hollywood director's lens, the United States is full of all kinds of perversions from the wilderness to the countryside to the city.
Tom Hicks and John Worst left soon and went to Shahai Entertainment, located in the same building.
Ronan also asked Shahai Entertainment to make a call. This is just a small project that will not receive special attention. If you even want to make a profit, you will rely more on the offline DVD market.
Relativity Entertainment has been performing well in the DVD horror film rental and sales market in recent years. With "Human Removal Project", "Reaper Is Coming", "Fatal Corner" and "Chain Saw", it firmly occupy this category market. Top spot.
"In the non-theatrical horror movie DVD market, Relativity entertainment is just ordinary."
At noon, Ronan and Jessica Felton had lunch together, and talked about this: "Shahai Entertainment started with this type of entertainment."
Jessica Felton ate the steak carefully, for fear of accidentally dropping things. With her uprightness, as long as there is food falling, it will definitely fall in the most conspicuous position of her chest.
She didn't think this was wrong before, but now she cares very much about Ronan seeing this shameful situation.
There is not much change in the two people's getting along mode, but the mood is different.
Jessica Felton swallowed the steak and said, "I remember that Anchor Bay Entertainment has always had a good performance in this area."
Ronan drank his mouth and said, "This position is occupied by Anchor Bay Entertainment all the year round. This small film company is famous for making B-level cult films and horror films."
He put down his water glass and said casually: "I heard that Anchor Bay Entertainment is going to remake "I Spit Your Grave."
"This movie?" Jessica Felton said, "It's too unfriendly to women."
Ronan said: "In some ways, this is also a feminist film."
Jessica Felton thought about it carefully, and said: "It seems that there is a way. The heroine suffered misfortune and did not rely on the power of others to complete her revenge alone, causing everyone who violated her to pay a heavy price."
Ronan did not hide in front of Jessica Felton, and said directly: "As long as you play the feminist card, it is estimated that the film will perform well offline."
I vaguely remember that there was also a trilogy in the remake of this film, indicating that Anchor Bay Entertainment must have made money.
After chatting about horror movies, Ronan turned to ask: "How about the script you mentioned the other day?"
Jessica Felton said: "Shahai Entertainment basically negotiated with Caddy Deppold. This is Caddy Deppold’s first script. She is not a member of the screenwriters’ union. You can buy the script copyright within."
Ronan asked again: "Do you plan to make this project?"
"There are plans for this, but after finishing the post-production of "Fast and Furious 4"." Jessica Felton said briefly: "I will make a plan and submit it to the company."
Although the relationship between the two has changed, the company's system and procedures will not change, and Jessica Felton also consciously abides by it.
In fact, Jessica Felton is very clear-headed, Ronan will not give her any privileges on this, and she will not ask for privileges.
That would only damage the relationship between the two.
After eating lunch~EbookFREE.me~Jessica Felton looked at the time and said, "I should go back." Before leaving, she said again: "I have to make sure that I have fun at night, and I have to work overtime. You don't have to wait for me, let's go first."
Ronan nodded: "Give me the key. I'll go to your house and wait for you."
Jessica Felton reluctantly opened the handbag and flipped through it, found out the key and gave it to Ronan. The two had already had a relationship in that respect, and there was nothing to say. She said generously: "The spare key is here. At home, come back and remind me to give you one."
Ronan waved his hand: "I remember. Go ahead."
After collecting the keys, Ronan returned to his office and made an appointment with Kevin Fitch of Marvel Entertainment in the afternoon to further discuss the next part of the Marvel Avengers plan.
Marvel Entertainment has two films released this year, namely "Hulk" in summer and "Thor" in holiday.
