What Rachel McAdams did not expect was that not only would this face not be able to be found, but she and Amy Aker were quickly kicked out of the office.

OK, of course not really expelling.

Someone also specifically explained that he would discuss how to help them prepare emotions during the shooting process, so it is not suitable for listening, otherwise it would be ineffective, and he also ensured that the measures taken would definitely not be dangerous.

Although the former "Blair Witch" looked rough, the production team still spent a lot of effort during the filming process, such as the actor's performance. In order to make the actor truly fall into a state of collapse, the team directly threw several leading actors into the jungle for several days and nights in a row, which eventually brought the film to a very standard level in performance, and even the classic shot of the heroine monologueing the camera in the end.

It can be imagined that if the actors in "The Witch Blair" were as exaggerated as the silicone-breasted female vases in many inferior B-grade films, they would not have had the accidental explosion of the film.

Simon's requirements for the new version of "Blair the Witch" are definitely higher.

However, the means to stimulate the emotions of the actors are actually nothing more than those, creating isolation, harsh criticism, and even deliberately promoting opposition between actors in the opponent's scenes.

Let’s talk about the new version of “Blair the Witch”, the atmosphere at the beginning of the story is very relaxed, and it is not a problem for young actors and actresses who have a considerable performance foundation in professionalism.

The key is still the second half.

The further you go, the more you need the actors to roam on the brink of collapse, or even really collapse. After all, the starring actors are young, even if they are talented, the emotions they build on themselves are difficult to be in place, so the production team needs to use some unconventional means.

After a discussion, the means of determination are not new.

During the filming process, especially in the second half, the contact with the actors should be minimized, so that the actors feel isolated and helpless. They should live in a tent alone every day for rest, keeping the intervals, and absolutely cannot be given any items that may be used to spend time at night, and they can only be boring and hard.

In addition, it is necessary to reduce the actor's sleep time, organize the watching of horror movies, and even provide too much food and water, creating a real state of anxiety.

Do all of this and the video won't be too bad.

Then again, why many actors have various mental problems, a big reason is caused by this. Just like Heath Ledger, who died young, really pushed himself to the brink of madness in order to play the clown well. Of course, some talented people will only frown, roar or roar, except that this will not have any other negative effects except for the fact that they often grin and make their faces more and more square.

The last question is publicity.

The new version of "Blair the Witch" is expected to start filming in early November, be completed in mid-December, participate in the Sundance Film Festival in mid-January, and be released in early February, just in time for the subsequent Valentine's Day schedule. After calculation, it only takes three months from the start of filming to the release, so it needs to be produced and promoted.

The plan is actually ready-made.

Viral marketing.

After a little discussion, the plan will be finalized soon.

In mid-December, when the film is completed and the post-production is entered, the official website of "The Witch Blair" will be launched and will be promoted with the help of the Westeros system's network resources.

The website will do it very well. The missing person notices of five missing college students, and various legends about the Blair Witch, are at least a number of "leaked" video clips, and so on. Then, appropriately guide public opinion and quickly spread the topic.

Subsequently, when the popularity became popular, unlike many people who thought it was a real event until the film was down, this time Daenerys Entertainment will promptly clarify that the entire incident was just a marketing plan for a movie in order to eliminate certain potential litigation risks in advance, and officially announced Daenerys' second pseudo-documentary film project after "The Ghost Record".

In addition to the subsequent Sundance premiere, there are a complete set of marketing combinations, and there are probably not many people who don’t know about this movie.

Then, it will be released in February. In addition to the popularity and some luck accumulated in the early stage, it still depends on quality.

The meeting lasted for more than two hours, and it was already past 11 o'clock.

Simon had no intention of leaving anyone to eat.

Everyone stood up and said goodbye, the others went out first, and Lina Kane slowed down and waited for everyone to leave, then he rushed into Simon's arms like a return bird, kissed and hugged, hugged the man's waist and looked up and said looking forward: "Simon, can I stay today?"

Simon held Lena's slender waist and shook his head, "It won't work this time."

Lina immediately increased her bid: "You can also add Rachel and Amy, the three of us."

Simon raised his hand and slapped the little agent on the ass of a scheming agent, and smiled and said, "Go back, getting the project done is to please me. Just like this time, the screenwriter you are looking for is very good."

Lina blinked again: "Then, add Annika, you can do it, four."

Then another shot was taken.

Lina knew there was no show this time, and her tone became a little more serious, and explained, "Annika is my alumnus at USC. She is one year older than me. We used to be good friends. She originally worked in Warner. Last time I just asked her to try writing, but I didn't expect you to like Simon."

Simon smiled: "You can think that your friends will not be too bad."

Or people are divided into groups.

After pestering for a while, Lina said goodbye.

Simon was able to judge that this little fairy with strong ambition was more intentional about her, but she would not expose it. She went out with Lina, and everyone was still waiting. Ulyanna Meretskova, who had not shown up because she had not woken up when the group arrived in the morning, also appeared at this time and sawed off with Simon.

Lina Kane had thought she could stay today, after all, she brought two vases and even one Annika. The four girls together could always make someone excited, right?

This is a man's preference.

However, when he first arrived in the morning, Lina felt that her thoughts were a little lingering. When she left, she saw Uriyana, who was even more amazing in appearance, figure, makeup and temperament, she had no idea.

If Maria's appearance and temperament are the kind that makes people involuntarily approach, Uriyana, the flawless Eastern European woman's face and a perfect and plump figure, and the graceful aura that once cultivated by her family background, is definitely the kind of existence that makes most women feel ashamed of themselves when they look at it.

Even though Lina didn't think she could occupy a place with a man by virtue of her appearance, she still felt a little inferior when she saw two stunning women in a row. Everyone said goodbye and said goodbye to the car. It was not until she left the manor that she barely had a small idea of ​​self-comfort.

You are young!

On the way back to the city, not Rachel McAdams or Amy Aker were sitting next to Lena, but Annika Settle, the light-haired screenwriter of The Witch.

It is true that people are divided into groups.

Although they had different majors and grades, not long after Lina entered the school, the two met each other, both outstanding and ambitious, and soon became good friends.

Annika graduated from Southern California for one year and was directly admitted to Warner Bros. and became an employee in Warner Bros. script procurement department.

The reason why she did not choose Hollywood's hot Daenerys was not because Annika was not strong enough, but because the girl deliberately considered that the competition within Daenerys was too fierce. Warner, who steadily ranked second in Hollywood, has given newcomers the opportunity to stand out in recent years.

Annika's judgment is indeed correct.

After only working in the Warner Bros. script procurement department for two years, Annika was promoted once for helping to select a low-cost hit film, and received further attention from senior executives of Warner Bros., and had already talked with her and planned to transfer her to a more core production department.

Almost at the same time, good friend Lena Kane found her and said there was a script for a low-cost horror film project that she could try writing, and the idea was from Simon Westeros.

Annika made a choice without hesitation.

Even if you are confident enough in your abilities, under normal circumstances, Annika understands that she will have to work for at least another five years before she can reach the opportunity to contact the senior management of Time Warner and even the parent company General Electric, a higher-level parent company.

Now, if you have the opportunity to directly associate with Simon Westeros, a fool will give up.

Annika worked during the day and stayed up for three consecutive nights after get off work. She quickly took out a script sample. She was originally a writing major at USC and had never let go of her skills. The script sample was sent by Lena to New World Pictures and was soon hired. She was identified as the screenwriter of "The Witch Blair" and assisted Paul Greengrass in creating scripts together.

Annika then decisively resigned from Warner and focused on this project.

A few days ago, in order to enjoy the scenery, Annika and Paul Greengrass led a small team of few people to travel across several southern states. It can be said that Annika has made great contributions to the project so smoothly.

This is why I was allowed to come to see Simon today.

Inside the carriage.

After the car left the manor, Annika breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Lina beside her: "How did I behave in the morning?"

Lina is looking down and looking through the morning meeting minutes again. She will also participate in the production process as an agent. These are not her job, but for the sake of future plans, even if there is no additional salary, it will become an important qualification and accumulate tangible work experience.

Suddenly hearing Annika's inquiry, Lina looked up at her, then lowered her head again, and smiled: "When Simon is working, she usually doesn't care about how women look."

Annika also smiled: "I asked how I was doing at work, where did you think of it?"

"If you don't perform well enough, you can't be here today," Lina affirmed, and said, "I'm just thinking about the specific age of those two women?"

Annika heard Lena's confirmation and relaxed a little, then went on a gossip: "I guess..." As she said that, she reacted, glanced at the two Wei family servants who were following Lena in front of her, lowered her voice, and leaned into Lena's ear: "I guess their daughters are enough to climb Westeros' bed."

Lina tilted her head and pressed Annika's head away, but she was not as careful as her friend. She continued to flip through the information in front of her and said, "Simon has never concealed these things. What are you doing so carefully?"

Annika didn't say much, but instead looked forward to it: "It would be great if I could still have the maintenance level of those two women when I was 40 years old."

Even if Annika is a career-oriented woman, she cannot ignore her appearance and figure.

Lina looked at her and couldn't help but tease: "This is probably not easy, you women of Nordic descent are more likely to grow older."

Annika immediately pretended to be dissatisfied: "Hey, are you racist?"

Annika's light hair and light blue eyes, coupled with her fair skin tone, and even her name are all obviously Nordic.

Lina smiled and said, "I am a little mixed Latin race, how dare I discriminate against you white noble ladies."

"It seems like that," Annika tweaked her hair charmingly and raised her head slightly: "Westero likes girls with whiter skin, you can't compare to me."

When Lina heard Annika's stinking beauty, she gave her a blank look: "People's preferences will change, not to mention that Simon prefers girls with soft faces like us. Your face is too three-dimensional and your mouth is not small enough. Simon definitely doesn't like it."

"Hey, who said someone's preferences will change?" General Annika said, then went to Lena's ear again: "Why does he like a woman with a small mouth? Isn't it..."

Lina smiled and pushed a female gangster away: "You can see it yourself if you have a chance in the future."

"Then you call me next time."

"I want to call you this time, I just rejected by Simon."

"Then you are so stupid. Just look at those two women and you will know that the timing is wrong." Annika looked very disappointed, and then she obviously hadn't forgotten what happened just now. She slightly opened her mouth, which was not actually big, and said vaguely: "Is this... enough?"

Lina smiled and glared at her again: "If you want a man, go to the bar tonight to find one."

"I don't want men. My boyfriend hasn't changed his battery for a long time."

Lina was stunned for a moment before she reacted, and smiled and called Annika: "If you are a hooligan, I will drive you out of the car."

Annika and Lena went back and forth, and after joking, they finally became a little more serious and said, "Did you find that Hollywood is now developing towards a matriarchal society?"

This twist was a bit big, and Lina was curious: "What does it mean?"

"Let's list," Annika said: "The Big Seven Hollywood, Daenerys' Amy Pascal, and MGM's Shirley Lansing, are only two, but they are actually equivalent to most of Hollywood. Oh, and Nancy Brill, and many senior female executives who have emerged in recent years, including us. By the way, there is also Nancy Josephson of ICM, one of the three major Hollywood agencies. Look, is there such a trend?"

Lina understood, but shook her head: "You are too optimistic. Anne, Hollywood is still the world of men, or in other words, Hollywood is almost just a world of men, and we are all just his vassals."

"I know," Annika said: "But Westeros is now starting to retreat more and more. Perhaps one day he will completely lose his interest in Hollywood and let go completely. By then, Hollywood will be the world of our women. You must know that some trends, once formed, will be difficult to reverse."
