Chapter 155: What is the story of "Lake Eden" after the magic modification
The script reading lasted three days. Not only did they sort out their respective work clearly, but they also became familiar with each other's relationship.
After all, it’s hard not to be familiar with getting together every day, having constant discussions, and constant communication.
After combing through, the plot of Zhang Chen's version of "Eden Lake" is as follows:
Jenny is a physical education teacher. Yes, Zhang Chen changed Jenny's identity from a kindergarten teacher to For physical education teachers, this change is to increase the rationality behind.
Jenny and her boyfriend Joseph came to a beautiful town called Lake Eden, where Joseph was going to propose to Jenny.
But I met a group of naughty children in a small town.
The naughty children almost caused a traffic accident. Joseph went to their parents to argue, but found that these parents were also naughty parents, and they relied entirely on violence to educate their children.
The two decided to leave this rude town and head to Lake Eden to spend their time together.
Who knew that we would meet these naughty kids again by chance at Lake Eden.
The naughty kid retaliated against them for what happened before, teasing them several times and making wild remarks.
Steve felt that the other party was a child and did not want to care too much.
Unexpectedly, the other party not only continued to provoke, but also stole their car.
During the dispute, Steve killed the other's dog. The two drove away in a car, but were surrounded by naughty children, and the car was eventually damaged.
Jenny escaped, but Steve was caught and tortured.
Jenny used false pretenses to lure away the naughty kid and rescued Steve, but she didn't expect that she would also be caught in the end.
Up to this point, Jenny is just an ordinary, weak female character.
But it doesn’t matter. If you want to advance, suppress it first.
In order to avenge their dogs, the naughty children tortured and killed Jenny's boyfriend in front of her face. What was originally a warm and romantic proposal trip turned into her last trip with her boyfriend.
Scenes from the past are brought back to life. As sweet as the past is, the reality is so cruel.
At this point, Jenny has completely gone dark.
Yes, Zhang Chen did not film according to the original plot.
The original version of "Eden Lake" was so depressing that everyone couldn't help but criticize it after watching the movie.
After reading it, many people were so angry that they couldn't sleep all night.
People think this young couple is so miserable and they have been bullied.
Many people were waiting for the moment when Jenny killed everyone, but it didn't happen until the end of the movie.
The final ending is even more like eating a fly.
Jenny discovered that the savior she finally found was actually the parents of those naughty children, and then she was also strangled to death.
Many people cannot accept this ending.
This is also the difference between European horror films and North American horror films. The Europeans pursue the sense of despair more. They do not consider the issue of sequels. They just think that the sense of despair can enhance the quality of the film.
The original "Dark Invasion" and "Eden Lake" are all British films, and the endings without exception are despairing.
Sarah's escape was a dream. Jenny thought she had escaped, but instead she broke into a naughty child's lair.
It is indeed high-class~
But it is indeed sick~
People's daily life is already depressing enough, and to watch a movie and add to it is not to seek abuse. ?
That’s why Zhang Chen didn’t shoot like this. He needed box office, word of mouth, and second impressions.
So she reversed it.
In fact, Hollywood has already summarized this set of rules.
Many American horror films feature a group of young men who run into an inaccessible remote mountain forest and are hunted down like prey.
These films also generally arrange for the protagonist to fight back.
This is the rule.
Zhang Chen is also prepared to follow this rule.
If it can be summarized, it must have been tested at the box office.
As for classics, he doesn’t need classics, he only needs box office.
He found an outlet for the angry audience, and this outlet was Jenny's darkening. After Steve died, Jenny decided to avenge him and completely transformed into a female warrior.
This is a critical turning point in the story and must be ritualized.
Jenny put on the bloody ring for herself. There are actually many similar designs, such as the scene where Rambo puts on the headband for himself, and John Wick smashes the floor...
In fact, there is a similar design in "Dark Invasion", the scene where Sarah emerges from the blood pool, and the change in her eyes.
The weak character suddenly changes and then starts killing everyone.
This kind of scene can best stimulate the audience's adrenaline and is also the biggest attraction of this kind of movie.
Jenny started to fight back. She used various methods to kill the naughty children one by one in the woods.
Hiding behind the tree, inserting a wooden thorn into the naughty child's neck~
Jumping from the tree, smashing the naughty child's head with the stone in his hand~
Drag the injured naughty child into the lake and watch him drown alive~
Jenny does everything.
She is a physical education teacher and has good physical fitness, which also provides a rationale for her ability to kill the naughty children.
She killed the bear children one by one, leaving only the bear who fled back to the town, with Jenny chasing after her on the stolen bicycle.
The parents of the naughty children are having a bonfire party. The naughty children are getting closer and closer to them, which is the hope of life.
Someone heard the cry for help and discovered the situation here.
Just when Xiong Da was about to escape and ascend to heaven, Jenny caught up.
Then she lit up the sky lanterns for the big bear in front of the bear parents.
Yes, it was exactly the same as the way his boyfriend died.
There is a feeling of reincarnation of fate.
This is also standard in most revenge films.
The bear parents were angry, but by the time they arrived, Jenny had already left in the stolen car.
Do you think this is the end?
No!
A few days later, the town held funerals for several naughty children, and the news broadcast a wanted order about Jenny, because Xiong Da’s father was the police chief of this small town.
A woman wearing a scarf suddenly appeared.
As soon as the woman entered the church, she locked the door of the church with an iron chain and locked herself and the other parents inside the church.
Just when everyone was curious, the woman pulled off her scarf, it was Jenny!
Shocked, angry...
Someone rushed towards Jenny, wanting to avenge their child.
The next second, Jenny took out a gun.
The last scene, a panoramic view of the church, gunfire rang out inside...
This is the end of the film.
After the script reading, the film officially entered the shooting stage.
The main thing Ning Hao and Song Xiaofei came here this time was to learn Hollywood shooting techniques, so they didn't get started at first. They just stood aside and watched how Hollywood photographers shot.
The photographer is very important. If making a movie is compared to building a building, then the director is the designer of the building, responsible for designing the frame and layout of the entire building.
Where are the stairs, where are the elevators, where are the windows, how the rooms are laid out.
But design alone is not enough, it also needs to be implemented concretely.
The photographer is the one responsible for the actual implementation.
Construction brick by brick turns the director's artistic ideas into reality and turns the storyboard into a vivid picture.
So after a director finds a suitable photographer, he usually won’t change it easily, which is why there are so many fixed combinations of directors and photographers in the circle.
Zhang Chen is studying, and they are studying too.
Song Xiaofei came here this time partly to get familiar with Zhang Chen’s shooting style, and partly to learn the shooting techniques of Hollywood with Zhang Chen.
