American Fame and Fortune

Chapter 77 Fierce and joyful

It was getting dark. Under the leadership of Kelly Gray, producer Dave, director Benjamin, actor Martin and heroine Catherine all came to the theater to welcome the arrival of important guests.

 Everyone has a smile on their face.

ˆ With Kelly Gray’s connections, the crew invited several deans from the Savannah School of the Arts.

 The most important guests are naturally the buyers from various film distribution companies.

  Martin met with six film viewing experts and professional buyers from Focus Features, Warner Bros. and Lionsgate Pictures.

 In addition, we also saw representatives from overseas film producers such as Indians, Koreans, Mexicans and Brazilians.

 Those who go on official trips do a lot of work outside.

Soon, Martin saw an acquaintance, adjusted his formal attire a little, and strode forward to greet him: "Good evening, Blanco, welcome."

Blanco shook hands with Martin and said: "I contacted Michel and he was full of praise for you. I can't miss the movie starring an actor who can be praised so much by Michel."

 Martin led the people to the entrance of the theater, introduced Dave and Benjamin, and took the people in personally.

 The theater with a capacity of more than 800 people was almost full, and most of them were ordinary audiences and college students.

 There are only about 20 real movie buyers.

 Martin came to where the crew was and sat next to Benjamin.

 The film was about to be screened, and he noticed that Benjamin’s hands and legs were shaking.

Benjamin forced a smile: "Don't be surprised, it's my first time, it's normal to be nervous."

 “Me too.” Martin adjusted his breathing repeatedly, not thinking about the success or failure of the movie.

 For him, as long as the film can be screened in theaters, it is a victory.

 Jeffs from Lionsgate Pictures and Breitner, the buyer from Warner, are located next to each other. The two often attend various film festivals on behalf of the company, and they are also old acquaintances.

Jeffs asked: "Warner is interested in B-movies?"

Breitner whispered back: "B-movies have a built-in audience."

 The screen lights up, the lights go out, and the loud music sounds.

In the crowded Beast House Club, the sunny and handsome man walked onto the ring stage and started dancing to the music.

 The previous part is very normal, an ordinary zombie dance, nothing more than adding some elements of striptease.

The DJ at the scene shouted: "Zombie machine gun dance, let bullets fly all over the dance hall!"

 Like machine gun fire, countless customers covered their chests.

 Then, dollars were thrown around and underwear was flying.

 It’s really like there is such a nightclub.

 The audience in the theater couldn't help but curse: "It's too exaggerated!"

The audience was dumbfounded: With this frequency and speed, will it fly into the sky?

  B-movies want this kind of exaggerated effect.

 What’s more, it’s all real shots.

Many people can see that the male protagonist's dancing is not very good, and his level can only be said to be average, but his superb zombie machine gun dance makes him extremely charming.

 In the close-up shot, the burst of hormones overflows the screen.

Jeffs heard someone behind him asking his companion: "Where is the House of Beasts? Is there really such a gigolo? I want to experience it..."

 The opening dance scene emphasizes the sexual charm of the film.

Of course, another major attraction and element of B-movies is indispensable later - the splashing of plasma.

While all the customers were immersed in the male protagonist's dance, as the music changed, the male protagonist Matthew suddenly transformed into a vampire, and together with other gigolos and the big-headed boss, started a **** massacre of the customers.

The brains are flying, the limbs are broken, and the blood is flowing into rivers.

This is a sacrificial ceremony. The House of Beasts is the stronghold of vampire demons. They attract customers with male sex, drink their blood, and at the same time offer sacrifices to the evil gods of hell.

　　The opening scene is not that great, but it makes people keep watching.

The plots of B-movies are always bullshit, and Benjamin's is no exception. A girl luckily escapes from a massacre and finds sisters Maria and Anna, huntresses with special talents.

When Anna proposed to gather a team to hunt vampire demons and find their companions, Maria first explored the way to the club.

"Jenna Jameson?" Jeffs frowned: "Using her is indeed a gimmick, but if you really want to watch her, there are many movies to watch."

Brettner had the same idea. As soon as he saw Jenna Jameson and the male protagonist appearing in the same scene, he guessed that there would be a fierce fight next.

 But what he didn't expect was that this scene would be so special.

 The hero and Maria made eye contact.

  The latter wants to use his special talent to directly drain vampires.

 The former wants to use the blood of beautiful women to please a special evil **** from hell.

 Just above the stage, a big battle broke out.

 But the location and manner of the battle were something neither Jeffs nor Breitner had imagined.

The male protagonist grabbed the iron chain hanging from the ceiling with one hand and held Maria horizontally with the other hand, performing a trapeze.

 Zombie machine guns flying in the air!

This scene features both beauties and tough men, and the rather exaggerated performances create not only a **** fight, but also an indescribable sense of joy.

 In front of the audience, two characters are fighting for life and death, but this special method makes them fall into weird joy.

Jeffs couldn’t help but say: “It’s full of comedy.”

Breitner actually smiled: "There is something."

As for the rough shooting and production, there is nothing wrong with it. This is always the case in B-level movies.

 The darkened theater was filled with cheerful air. In this battle, there is not a single funny line or a single prank action, but it is both fierce and funny.

This kind of comedy is a special product of the United States and has a very wide audience.

The arrogant Maria failed as expected. She failed to **** the male protagonist but was sucked dry, and ended up with the tragic end of being quartered and died.

The plot is still cliche. The heroine Anna returns after finding a few helpers and discovers that her sister has been murdered. She is determined to clean up the vampire demons in the Beast House Club.

 They made a detailed plan and invaded the club during the day.

 Then he fell into a trap and was captured alive by the big-headed boss and the male protagonist with their troupe of dancing men.

Of course the villain will not kill the heroine immediately.

 The male protagonist locks up the heroine alone. The heroine, taking advantage of the male protagonist's strength, decides to use her own talents to seduce the male protagonist into a head-on fight.

 The audience who could come here were mostly B-movie lovers, and they were extremely happy to watch it.

The scene design of several fighting scenes and the special performances of the leading actor are full of fun.

 At the end, the drama begins, and through the heroine’s psychological activities, the concept of combat is once again thrown out.

 Last time, the heroine’s sister failed and was killed.

 The heroine’s talent is superior to that of her sister, and she defeats the male protagonist head-on.

 In the ensuing fight, the heroine chopped off the hero's head.

  The male protagonist died in battle, and the heroine led the team to bloodbath the Beast House Club and took away the male protagonist's head as a demon hunting medal.

 At the end of the film, the heroine, who led the demon hunting team to leave the city, discovers that she is pregnant, and the hero's head disappears.

 In the darkness, when he heard the applause, Blanco also stood up and applauded.

Different from ordinary French film companies, Europa, where he works, can be said to have the strongest commercial atmosphere in France, and even in Europe. Its founder, Luc Besson, has never made literary films.

 The style of the company’s big boss affects the style of the entire company.

 Blanco is also a film buyer who prefers business.

This film has excellent elements of American B-movies, with splashing plasma, a terrifying atmosphere, and exploding hormones...

Even the American **** and **** jokes that he found unsatisfactory in the past were completely original in this film.

　　There are no **** lines, the hero is killed by the heroine, but there is a sense of joy.

Especially for the male protagonist, among the three major scenes, the first two are particularly brilliant, simply stunning.

Zombie machine gun dance and trapeze are so interesting,

Those French directors who only play obscure and youthful dramas should really come and see how they can make real artistic dramas fun and interesting.

 In the last scene, the male protagonist was slightly overshadowed by the female protagonist, but it didn’t matter.

As the applause gradually died down, Blanco was thinking about how much money it would cost to obtain the French or European distribution rights for this film.

If the North American and European rights were separated, he estimated that it could be done for less than $2 million.

This film is definitely not the claimed US$6 million, and the production cost will not exceed US$2 million.

 The movie subtitles finished and the theater lights came on.

Dave called to the crew: "Let's go on stage for the curtain call!"

 Benjamin stood up. Whether it was because he was too nervous or because his legs were numb, he almost fell down when he took the first step.

 Martin had quick eyesight and quick hands, so he quickly grabbed him.

Benjamin turned around and forced a smile: "Is it okay?"

  Martin said: "Director, we did it to the extreme, get on stage."

 Benjamin walked forward.

 Martin added: "Greeting all the people from the crew?"

Benjamin replied softly: "Call them all to come on stage."

 Martin turned around and waved repeatedly to Hart, Robert and others sitting behind him.

 Kelly Gray paid to invite many media reporters, who were all taking photos at this time. Hart and others went to the media and stood with the crew. When the film is screened in theaters, their net worth is bound to rise.

 Hart and Carrington took the stylish boy band and Robert the Big Head and took to the stage in front of the screen.

  The crew, led by Dave and Benjamin, frequently greeted the audience.

 The audience burst into warm applause again.

The crew gathered together again to allow media reporters to take photos.

 The sense of ritual is full.

Robert’s smile is as bright as a flower, and a film allows him to fulfill his long-cherished wish as a background artist.

The film has more than ten lines of dialogue, and a group photo with the main creators was included.

As long as the film is released in theaters, he can become popular among the background artists in Atlanta.

When he left the stage, Hart walked a few steps behind Martin and whispered: "Martin's father, as long as you say something, I will book a flight to Thailand tonight."

 Martin didn’t want the **** daughter, so he said, “Keep it, you still have to rely on it for food.”

Hart said happily: "I can double the price in the future!"

Carrington, who followed behind, was disdainful: "Look at this situation, everything will be tripled."

Today’s third update is 9,000 words. Future updates will be fixed at around 8:30 am unless there are special circumstances. The first order was 2500, and the results were okay.
