Chapter 18 Preparations for Blair the Witch 1

(Brothers, vote if you like it. Please click on the collection and recommendation, vote for it!!)

Ike introduced everything that happened this week to Green in detail, including the company's release of its first film "The Rose Boy's Dream", and his own first film script "Blair the Witch", etc.

"Omg, man, you are so awesome. You accomplished so many big things when I was away." Green said incredible.

"It's nothing, I'm just busy all day like a gyro. I'm just waiting for you to come back and help me." Ike said, shaking his head.

"Of course, talk about your plans." Green said on the sofa in the office.

Ike folded his hands in front of his chest and leaned against the desk. He said with a frown, "There are two things now. The first is to focus on the promotion of "Rose Boy's Dream", and the other is that I want to start filming "The Witch Blair."

"I need something to do, just tell me." Green nodded and said, "By the way, can I read the script of "The Witch"?"

"Oh, of course." Ike turned around and walked to the desk to open the drawer, and took out the stack of papers that had been ordered. "I had printed them all yesterday, you can take a look."

As he said that, he handed the script to Green. After Green took it, he read it carefully. In fact, if he just read the witch's script, he would not feel how scary it was, but he would just feel a little horrible.

After a while, Green probably finished reading it. He shook his head and said to Ike, "Are you sure this is a horror movie?" In his opinion, this is a bit different from traditional horror movies. There are no zombies, zombies, killers, crazy/magic/demons, perverted mental illnesses in the script. "I think he is more like a thriller like suspense." Green made his own point of view to Ike.

Ike smiled and explained to Green, "In fact, from the script alone, there is no effect. It is more similar to a psychological horror movie. This type does not rely on visual effects to create horror, but more on stimulating the audience's hearts. Personally, this is more shocking."

Green nodded thoughtfully. "I can probably understand what you mean, um..." He thought for a while and continued, "How do you plan to shoot this movie? That's...you know that we have limited funds."

"Haha." Ike smiled, "Don't worry about money. A few days ago, our company's account had 150w more for no reason."

"What?" Green was shocked. "Is there such a thing?"

"I don't know the specifics." Ike really didn't understand. Anyway, he obtained it through a modifier. In reality, he really didn't know what was going on. "At present, I only know that the source of this money is Italy."

"Italy?" Green was also confused, "Have you called the police?"

Ike shook his head and continued, "Not only did I not call the police, I also spent some of it."

"Oh, my God." Green rubbed his temples, "What if someone else tracked it down, it's easy to check."

"So." Ike walked to the sofa and patted Green on the shoulder, "We want to make the movie as fast as possible and make the money back."

"But?" Green said helplessly, "Can you be sure that this script can be sold? Hey, man, you're too impulsive. Now we should borrow money to make up for the account."

Ike stood up, paced a few steps in the office, then looked at Green and said, "Believe me, this movie will definitely be a hit."

Green looked at Ike speechlessly. He shook his head and said, "It must be a big shot? God!" But think about what else can I do? "It has become like this. We can only plan to shoot a movie at the moment, but I am still worried that 150w is not a decimal, and we two can't afford it."

Ike smiled and said, "At the beginning, I was just as worried as you, but after spending part of myself, I felt much more calm. As long as we make money, everything is not a problem. And several days have passed, isn't this happening?"

"That's all, I hope God bless you." Ike said with a frown, "Then tell me how you plan to make this movie. Has the actor thought about it?"

"I want to shoot with my hand dv," said Ike.

Green's face was sluggish...

......................................

"I discovered that the last time I left, you guys had a problem with his brain, and he was confused. Has a week passed and not been better yet? Or you went to drink again yesterday." Green covered his face with his hands and said in pain, "Make a movie with his hand DVD, my God, did you say you promise to sell a large number? Yours are simply crazy!"

"No, I'm not crazy." Ike shook his head and denied Green's statement. "I'll explain it to you."

"Ok." Green looked up, "I hope you can convince me."

"I want to make this video a 'pseudo documentary'," said Ike. "That is, it makes the film look like it really happens in reality, documentary! And the person who filmed it looks like these students who died. Therefore, professional shooting does not exist here, the more amateur the better."

"You mean to make the audience think that this horror story is a completely real event?" Green fell into thinking.

"Yes, if this effect is achieved, the film will be half successful. So, if you want a few students to look for witches, how could they be holding professional cameras? They must be using their hand-held DVs and shooting randomly, which looks like they are messy, but some horrible plots are hidden in these rough shots." Ike continued to explain.

"But..." Green continued, "Will anyone watch such a movie? Maybe he thinks it's a farce caused by a few idle students. I still can't imagine how things shot by DV can be put on the big screen."

"There is a key issue here, which is publicity." Ike said while walking in the room.

"Promotion?" Green was stunned.

"Yes." Ike continued, "Don't let the audience know that this is a film made by a film company. It is necessary to let them enter the world of these students. It feels like this has happened and the government is also chasing this matter. If this effect is achieved, there will definitely be many people who want to watch this movie, and they want to know the truth about this horror incident!"

"You mean, don't let the audience know that this is a movie, and let them know about the incident?" Green said with a gesture, "How can this be done? The government will not follow us to deceive the audience, but will come out to deny the rumors."

"The Internet." Ike said affirmatively, "Use the Internet for publicity. Let's talk about it specifically. When this matter spreads across the United States, the government must come out to refute the rumors. However, by that time, we have gained enough box office, and our company will also clarify this issue with the government."

Green looked at Ike, sat blankly for a long time, and then said in disbelief, "Oh, my God, how could you come up with such a movie like a whim? Although I can't judge whether it is good or bad, after listening to your creativity, I feel that this is shocking enough. My brother, either you are an angel or a devil."

"Haha." Ike smiled. He actually understood Green's current doubts. "No matter whether it is angels or devils, everything will be made and the box office will be verified."

"Then what actor do you plan to use? Hearing you say that, he will definitely not be very famous." Green asked.

"There are the best people who are unknown, and it doesn't matter if you go to the actors to find out if there are any. I think there should be so many such people." Ike said.

"This shouldn't be difficult, it really doesn't work. I'll go to the University of Southern California and find a few internship students." Green responded.

"Yeah." Ike nodded, "That female student, I have a candidate here, but I can't be sure if she wants it."

"Professional?" Green asked, "It would be bad if it's too famous, and the audience would see that it would be useless."

"Don't worry, you are famous, you are a passerby when you walk on the street. Nowadays, you are looking for actors in Hollywood. It's hard to find a famous person, but there are a lot of unknown people." Ike said with a smile.

"Where is the hand-held dv? This thing is not cheap now." Green continued.

"We want to buy one of this, so we use the Sony that was released in 1995. Although it is expensive, it is a necessity." Ike replied.

Ike knew that the dv used in the 1999 version was already digital, and the clarity was good, but now there is no such thing as it can be done.

"Then let's act separately. I'll go find the actors and you go prepare the equipment." Green said.
