King of Hollywood Chapter 208: Qualified commercial movie
Selena kept her promise and did not take the little girl named Vivian back, but she did not go back to the vampire’s station, but went directly to the laboratory under their name. She wanted to know if this was what happened. It happened that Amelia also inspected there, so the story about Alexander Kovinas, the ancestor of the immortal, and his three children were revealed one by one in their dialogue.
This is the first time to explain the emergence of vampires and werewolves in a modern sense. Although it is impossible to study it, it is really refreshing for the audience.
Then, the difference from the original appears again. In this story, both the vampire and the werewolf are aware of the blood of the descendants of Alexander Kovinas’ third son without mutation, which means to them What. In fact, no matter whether it is a vampire or a werewolf, in order to solve their own problems of fear of ultraviolet rays and silver equipment, they have thought of countless ways. In modern times, they have done many experiments.
Because the luck is a little better, and the technology is more advanced, I found the secret from a sideline, and immediately began to find and hunt down the descendant of the third son, and finally found the little girl Weiwei An body. Although the werewolf was a lot behind, they had traitors among vampires, and Klein, as an traitor, was not very clear about these, so under his means, the little girl and a couple escaped and were stared by the werewolf On the other hand, the vampire responded quickly and sent the best people to hunt down, so there was the beginning of the movie.
Selena, who knows the truth, is in a dilemma. He had to turn to another aspect for the time being, and found Klein to question Lucian. He originally claimed that he had killed Lucien and brought back a skin. Klein naturally denied that the two sides broke up, and after collecting some evidence, Selena had to wake up Victor in violation of the rules.
However, Victor woke up but didn't appreciate her words or believe her words. She also realized that she began to develop feelings for human beings, so she excused herself by awakening herself in violation of the rules. Playing this role is still the old British bones of Bill Ney, except Cate. He was the only one who had also played this role in the original version, and his acting skills were also speechless.
The next plot did not make too many adjustments. Selena did not reflect on Victor’s instructions, but went to find evidence herself. On the other hand, Klein met Lucian privately, and after some complaints, decided to launch in advance, so Emilia, one of the three elders, was attacked on her way home, and then died because the blood was irradiated and could not be restored-this At least she died at least not so useless. Did not even give a positive.
And Selena was also followed by Klein’s people before she returned to the place where Vivian was hiding, and the werewolves followed.
"Hurry up, hurry up!" Selena shouted to the little girl, then drew her two guns against the werewolf.
Although the two have initially established trust, the indifferent little girl is seeing the outside world right before her eyes. I couldn't help it. Coupled with the fierce fighting on the other side, he finally made an adventurous move, sneaking up the safety ladder outside, and sliding from where to the street. However, there are already two werewolves disguised as policemen here. Although the little girl didn't trust them and wanted to escape, how could her weak ability escape from the werewolves, so she was caught in a scream.
Although Selena heard her exclamation, she was caught by the werewolves above her and couldn’t get out of her body. It was easy to solve them. I no longer have any trace of trying to catch up. In desperation, after inspecting some werewolves' bodies, he took back the heart of Lucian who was seriously injured but not dead.
With this guy testifying, Victor naturally no longer doubts, plus news of the death of Amelia, immediately summoned a team of people to prepare for a counterattack. At this point, a lot of details began to be a bit messy again, and there is no way to do this. After all, the movie has only such a long time. Adrian is just concerned, even if the producer's name is not hung up, you can't control this, but it can be achieved at this point, after all, it is a medium-sized commercial movie.
The final battle is coming, Selena kills all the way, enters Lucian’s nest first, and finds Vivienne first.
"I'm sorry." The little girl who had always behaved indifferently finally cried, holding her tightly and refused to let go.
"It's okay, no one will hurt you again." Selena once again showed a warm side, holding her for her constant comfort, and at the same time a little dazed, I don't know what to do.
Then, Lucian and Klein colluded with him broke in. Lucian wanted to inject himself with blood, and then quickly evolved to fight back the swarming vampires, but Klein, who had been debunked, had nowhere to go. He refused to let go, so they met in this situation.
Suddenly, Klein suddenly pulled out the gun containing the silver nitrate bullet and opened fire on Lucian. Lucian didn't expect it at all and immediately fell to the ground. Klein breathed a sigh of relief as soon as he took his head back, believing that Victor would forgive him, and of course, the little girl.
Selena would naturally not give Vivienne to him, and they did not agree, and the two began to fight again. Although Klein was not Selena's opponent, she was vicious and attacked Vivienne every time. Selena was careless and was finally beaten up by him, and Vivienne immediately fell into his hands.
The overjoyed Klein was smug and immediately mocked them-all the villains in the movie, and "The Legend of the Dark Night" is no exception. How about letting the protagonists turn over? But the final mystery was also solved, and the love between Lucian and Victor's daughter Sonia was revealed. This dog blood must also be sprinkled. As one of the important supporting roles, this kind of dog blood is actually suitable.
At the same time, Klein also explained why Victor wanted to adopt Selena. She and Sonia look very similar, which indirectly explains why Lucien let her go twice.
"Don't he kill my family?" The shocked Selena asked another question involuntarily.
"Of course not. Victor, the poor little girl who killed your family." Klein laughed, like all villains, very rampant, so he was retaliated immediately.
The semi-paralyzed Lucian suddenly interrupted one of his legs. The furious Klein grabbed Vivienne in his hand and beat him out. The little girl rolled to the ground in a cry. This immediately angered Selena, roaring, picked up the weapon on the ground, and jumped high. Instantly killed Klein in seconds.
Then, Vivian lying on the floor moaned painfully, and Lucien’s teeth scratched her arm when Klein threw her on Lucien. Werewolves have no women, because women can't bear the tyrannical force, so the women bitten by the werewolf are dead, and Vivian is so small that it can't bear it.
"Bite her..." dying Lucian cried. "She is the last direct descendant of Covinas... she can combine the blood of two races..."
Uncertainly, Selena bit Vivienne, which also put the last straw for her break with Victor. When the elder came in with his hands and learned of Vivian’s situation, he ordered that she must be killed. He absolutely would not allow this to happen. So ruthless. Coupled with the fact that Selena asked the truth again and again, the conflict between the two can no longer be avoided.
This final fighting scene is different from the previous one. Victor and Selena both used a long sword retroly. In the crisp clashes, they showed a lot of vampire elegance. of course. This situation did not last very long. After all, Victor was the three elders and the old ghost who had lived for thousands of years. Selena couldn't let her hands and feet down for a while and was beaten back and forth. .
But as soon as she saw that Vivian, who was still weak next to her, kept avoiding other people's pursuit, her anger filled her chest. After being hard-hit by Victor, he jumped over and quickly killed those guys. But then Victor, who was following, also pierced her shoulder with a sword, and the moment of life and death, Vivien suddenly rushed out beside him, let Victor divide the **** for a few seconds, Selena seized the opportunity to sword Pierced his heart.
It's all over, Selena looks at Vivienne, and finally asks: "Are you willing to follow me?"
"Will you protect me?" Vivian asked back.
The movie finally came to an end. Of course, some follow-up, the clues to prepare for the second part still need to be left, such as awakening the room, the blood of the killed guy oozes down, flows into Marcus' coffin, or there is no Lucian’s The body, as well as Victor, was just pierced into the heart. In the previous life, these two roles were very popular, so under the intervention of Adrian, they were temporarily retained in this way.
If the movie is successful and their characters are indeed popular, there is no doubt that it will be resurrected in the sequel, so what is the movie? The box office can answer-the new line contacted almost 2,500 theater lines for "The Legend of the Night", and then received $29 million in North America in the first week.
This is an excellent beginning for this medium-invested commercial movie. Generally speaking, as long as the first four numbers of the box office in the first week are the same as the first four numbers of the number of theaters, then this movie will be very good. Big potential can be tapped.
It has been revised, and it has used a lot of promotional methods, as well as the gimmick of this first movie that plays trailers on utube, and several commercial films arranged by Adrian for Cate around the millennium For example, "Agent Belle" or "Tomb Raider" are basically the works of the singles, so her commercial value is also higher, and it is normal to have such results.
At the same time, almost half of the comments of various media critics think they are okay.
"As a commercial movie, "The Legend of the Night" is undoubtedly qualified, not only subverting the traditional vampire and werewolf story, but also boldly innovating, the modern Gothic style makes the whole movie very fashionable , The plot is also arranged very convincingly, the director has found a perfect balance between the horror movie and the action movie, Cate? Beckinsale's performance is also amazing, even though she is cold for most of the time Face, but every time the expression changes, it is very impressive." One film critic described this.
Of course, comments such as "Stupid movies, like a role-playing clearance game" and "The degree of war between vampires and werewolves are just gangsters" are also everywhere. The score on imdb is only 7, and the freshness on rotten tomatoes is only about 55%.
But in the eyes of ordinary people, this is a very good movie. Not to mention, although the freshness on the Rotten Tomatoes website is only 55%, the audience likes it to 89%. Vampire culture is still very popular in the West, and with the starring role of "Laura", the tight leather jacket and modern Gothic style also fascinated a large number of people.
"If Laura is wild, lively, and proud, then Selena is cold, glamorous, and only affects those who are concerned. Of course. They are very elegant and very very Charming." A netizen's message is what most people say.
Also, whether critics—including critical and praiseworthy—or ordinary people think that Selena watching the scene of Vivienne in her sleep is the most moving in the whole movie Feelings, especially those critics who are critical, said that this lens barely made this vulgar movie look less vulgar.
Dakota has further gained popularity, either because she is too young, or because this character makes it easy for people to have compassion. Even the critics did not give her too much criticism, so that Vivienne’s role became the only one in the movie that was approved by 99% of the people.
Of course, if it is really popular, Cate is the highest, she is the first protagonist, and the removal of the male protagonist is also to better highlight her. The image of tight black leather jacket and trench coat has become synonymous with Laura.
"Look, dear, it's pretty good." While accompanying her and her daughter on the weekend, Adrian said ridiculously in the data language, "Is it right?"
Since then, this sentence was spoken to Lily. The little guy carefully read the newspaper for a while before sighing: "I think I missed something."
"Oh?" Adrian raised an eyebrow.
"I was thinking," the daughter looked at her mother with her face, "If that character is me, it should be very good."
"Why, you want to be an actor too?" Adrian showed a surprised expression.
"No, but I think..." Lily thought about her head. "If I appear in front of the camera with my mother... If I play Vivian and my mother... it must be cool!"
Looking at her daughter’s whimsical appearance, Adrian shrugged and didn’t plan to say anything. When the little guy first started to demolish DV, he thought she would be a scientist in the future. When the little guy led the sisters to the family When the roaring chickens and dogs jumped, he thought she could be a leader in the future, now... well. It doesn't matter, she is still young. There will be time to adjust her thoughts. No matter what the little guy does in the future, it is her own business. You only need to be a bystander and carefully guard her.
"It seems that the sequel is a sure thing." After the little guy ran to play, Adrian said to Cate again.
"It's still early, maybe they won't be interested in... I'm wearing a black tight leather jacket next week." Cate shrugged.
"It's okay, as long as I'm still interested." Adrian said with a grin, Cate was immediately white and he didn't speak at a glance.
Adrian doesn't care, as long as the current box office situation continues, the sequel will not run. If it is good, the corresponding surroundings, such as comics, character models, games, etc., will also be on the agenda.
So he turned to another topic: "Oh, dear, there is a script I think you can consider, not mine, and the background setting is a bit messy, and the investment required is very high, if you are not careful , It is easy to cause losses, but... I hope you can take it."
"Oh? Why?" Cate was suddenly curious.
"Because I can almost outline your appearance in my head, oh, that's really fascinating." Adrian said with exaggeration.
A little thought, Cate understood what he was talking about, and immediately gave him a fierce white glance, but then she couldn't help but ask, "What the **** is that?"
"You know, Universal has produced many horror movies before, with many classic monster images, such as Frankenstein, this time they want to focus on these monsters in a movie and find Stephen ?Somos came to be the director and producer..."Adrian was introduced immediately.
Undoubtedly, this movie is the "Fan Haixin" of the previous global monster hodgepodge in the previous life~IndoMTL.com~ According to the track of the previous life, this movie should have been launched for a long time, but Universal has developed quite a few years The smooth and amazing superhero series made them earn a lot of money. Although some producers had this idea, they did not pay for it. But Somos, who took over, persuaded high-level executives around the world to make them think that there is still potential to be tapped, so he put it on the agenda at this time.
What is the situation of "Fan Haixin" in the previous life, Adrian still knows, but he does not intend to intervene too much, just like the sequel of "The Legend of the Night" and the sequel of "X-Men", he can’t always keep his hands on after all Teaches them how to do it. Besides, although the box office of "Fan Haixin" in the previous life was average, DVDs and video tapes were sold very well. During a period of time, sales in North America were almost the same as the box office. It can be seen that the quality of the movie should not be too much. Something went wrong.
After the acquisition of Universal by Media, it has been rectified in this respect. Some of the people trained by Bosworth have dug a few good talents. The current distribution capabilities of Universal can be different in the past. Just a few words, I believe it should be better than the original, so Adrian's attention is more on the heroine.
Laura Crawford is already in his bed. Selena, the most mysterious, most elegant and fashionable female vampire, is also fast. Can Princess Anna, who is full of classical temperament, escape? (To be continued)
