254. Chapter 254 Japanese Horror Movie
"Actually, I think they should wait a little longer." Katie was snuggling in Sean's arms while reading the newspaper. The news in the entertainment version clearly stated that the Sundance Film Festival ended, starring Sean, the previously controversial "The Believers" won the feature film award.
Although the temperature outside was not high, the heating in the room was sufficient, so she was wearing a thin shirt on her upper body, and the two points on her chest were so obvious, and the seductive spring scenery was basically visible. In addition, she only had a pair of underwear on her lower body, and two pairs of legs that were not very long but were well-proportioned across Sean's body, looking very seductive.
"It doesn't matter, my dear, even if you win the feature film award, the box office of this movie will not have a qualitative leap." Sean, who was holding her and rubbing her ears, said, and reached into her neckline at the same time, holding the pair of tempting softness.
"Okay, Sean..." Katie struggled embarrassedly, "It's time to get up in the morning..."
Although he didn't finish speaking, his soft tone and slightly red face all mean something.
"Okay, okay, listen to you." Sean smiled and kissed her on the back of her neck, then squeezed her hands back, causing Katie to roll her eyes in anger.
But she didn't say much, but changed the subject: "Why are so sure? You know, there have been a lot of debates about this movie recently, and several Jewish groups believe that the movie insulted them."
"Don't make trouble with me," Sean immediately slapped her ass. "Anyone who has watched the movie knows that this kind of accusation is simply unreasonable. The crew has clarified the matter and it has subsided a few days ago. Why don't you tease me? It seems that I should give you some impressive lessons, Katie!"
The girl in her arms first groaned in pain, then looked at him with dissatisfaction, then shrank her neck under his threat, and looked aggrieved: "I just want to know, why can't there be a qualitative leap with you helping them attract so many gazes?"
She changed her tone: "Do you think that you didn't win the award at the Golden Globes before, which will have an impact on this?"
Although it was just a common question, from Katie's slight tone of taste, she knew that her real purpose was definitely not this. As Sean had expected, although she was shortlisted for the Golden Globe Awards for her outstanding performance in "Dance of Death", she won nothing at the award ceremony on January 20. In any case, Sean's qualifications were still a little bit lighter, and he didn't think it was necessary to use money for public relations for the time being, so it was certain that she failed the exam.
However, because he was shortlisted for "Dance of Death", he had to meet Harley. It is conceivable how interested the media will be, not to mention that he and she took a photo together in front of the media wall.
This is actually not a big deal. Although the previous scandal was circulated, because there were no photos and the clarification was quickly made, not many people believed it. In addition, the fake photos of the last time they had a scandal with Julia, so even if the media took a photo of the two, it would not be able to explain anything.
As for Harley, although she was a little unhappy at the time, she no longer cared about it and was even a little happy.
"I was a little hesitant at first, but this circulating scandal prompted me to make a choice." She said so, and her smile was very comfortable. Obviously, she was telling the truth, so Sean naturally felt relieved.
Of course, no matter whether anyone believes it, there will still be gossip about Sean and Harley after the Golden Globes. The tabloids are attracted by this. Katie must have seen it on the Internet or on the newspaper, so she is so tempted. Although Sean explained to her when the scandal was rumored, she didn't believe it very much, but women often try it like this. At this time, the habitual problem is enough, as long as it goes out of the line.
"Of course not," Since she knew what she thought, Sean would not do as she wished. "You have to know that the box office of a movie mainly depends on whether it is good. The audience will not care about so much artistic quality. The artistic atmosphere of "The Believers" is too strong and destined to be loved by niches. In this case, not to mention that I starred in it, even Brad Pitt... or even Tom Cruise will not have a high box office."
"But haven't you still invested?" Katie said in surprise.
"I never thought I could make it back at the beginning." Sean laughed.
"You are so generous." Katie blinked and smiled, then was stunned for a moment, then realized that he was changing the subject.
However, just as she wanted to pull the topic back and continue to test, she clamped her legs like an electric shock, and a blush appeared on her face again.
"Wait... wait, Sean..." Katie twisted her hips to avoid his hand that pulled her underwear and slipped down her crotch, but she didn't know that her pitiful appearance would only make Sean want to continue.
"Okay, Katie, sit obediently and don't move." Sean gently took her delicate ear beads, "I want to tell you something."
"What...what?" Katie asked, pushing, "Can you stop first?"
"You know, I have a production company and it's expanding. I may have to make several movies this year. One of them is a horror film I bought from Japan to remake. I think this movie will be very distinctive, so I want you to play the heroine. Remember to leave a period." Sean blew in her ear and said quickly without giving her the chance to speak, and his hands also accelerated a lot.
"You are like this... I... OK... OK... I promise... I promise you..." Katy, who was so teased that she was a little confused, agreed in a daze.
Unfortunately, even so, Sean could not stop, so the two of them finally lingered in the living room before they could finish it. Although Katie recovered, she looked very angry and looked like I was angry. Unfortunately, she had no effect in front of the cheeky Sean. As for the promise to play the role, she naturally decided.
The horror film Sean found in Japan is naturally "The Curse". Before, Nicole Kidman recommended Naomi to play the heroine in the American version of "Midnight Bell". He remembered another Japanese horror film that was as famous as "Midnight Bell", and it seemed that it had been remade by Hollywood, so he immediately asked someone to go to Japan to buy the remake rights and planned to let Katie play the heroine.
Since the box office of the movie should be good, of course, you should use your own woman. Even if you don’t have much reputation, it is good to accumulate qualifications.
But he didn't know how "Curse" should be pronounced in English, so he could only tell the people who sent them to the past about the general plot - well, it can't be considered the general plot, it's just some background settings. So in addition, Sean also wrote the two Chinese characters "Curse". Thank God, no matter how the Japanese left the EU and entered Asia, they still had to use Chinese characters.
Even so, the sent people took a lot of effort to find something suspected at the beginning of this year. The so-called suspicion means that it sounds like the horror film that Sean told, but many places don't match it. At this time, they naturally can only send the relevant situation back and let Sean make a decision. At this time, Sean realized that the movie version of "The Curse" has not yet come out.
Well, I can't say that it hasn't been released yet, how should I describe it? To be precise, the finished product of this horror film was available in 2000, but it was very short and released in the form of a videotape. However, it was well received after its release, so the director filmed another short film, which was also very popular after its release. When Sean sent someone, the director had just released the third short film in this series and still received a lot of praise.
Although the plot of these three short films is simple, they meet Sean's requirements in several places, such as a cursed house, who will die as long as someone moves in, or there are two ghosts in the house, one woman and one child, and the woman was killed by her husband, etc. There is no doubt that this should be the Japanese horror film Sean wanted, especially when he saw the director's name, although there were a few things in the middle of the three Chinese characters that were not sure whether it was Hiragana or Katakana, the three words Shimizu Tsuka still awakened a lot of detailed memories.
Then, after learning more about it, after knowing that he had also worked as an assistant to the Japanese version of "Midnight Bell", Hideo Nakada, he immediately asked not only to promptly buy the remake rights, but also to ask him to direct it.
Sean vaguely remembers that both the Japanese "Curse" and the American version of "Curse" seem to be directed by Tsuke Shimizu. In this way, the deal is too cost-effective and very simple. If you directly enter the American version of "Curse", without the Japanese version of "Curse" consuming the enthusiasm of Japanese and even Asian audiences before, the American version will definitely attract more attention and earn more, right?
The next thing is much simpler. As a new director, Tsuke Shimizu, I heard that a Hollywood film company wanted to buy the remake of his short films, not only wanted to expand it into a long story, but also invited him to serve as director. Naturally, I was shocked.
No one doesn't want to go to Hollywood to develop, Japan, South Korea, Hong Kong, Taiwan, mainland China, etc., without exception, because it is the center of the world's film industry, and it is definitely a great honor to be able to gain a foothold there. Even so, Takashi Kiyomizu was not so happy that he asked his teacher Hideo Nakada for advice. Then, after he found out that the small-cost romantic comedy produced by Reincarnation Film last year won 270 million yuan in North America and became the most popular romantic comedy in North America in history, even though the company was newly established, he still agreed.
I was lucky, but it was too early to start filming. Not to mention that Shimizu Tsuke does not have a formal and complete script yet. Even if there is one, I still have to get it to Hollywood to make some corrections to match the aesthetic view of North American audiences.
