Chapter 43 The Master of Horror

…

“Sir, Chinatown is here!”

After nodding, Guo Shouyun paid the fare, opened the door and walked out.

Los Angeles Chinatown is not as famous as San Francisco and New York, but walking in it has the feeling of an old SH in the 1930s.

Guo Shouyun, who came here for the first time, looked for the address in the information while admiring the unique street scene around him. After asking a few more passersby, I finally passed through a narrow and smelly alley, and came to a patio paved with cement bricks, with sporadic weeds growing in the gaps, and **** in the corners.

There are almost all airtight buildings around the patio, and the overall environment is quite similar to the old residential buildings common in Hong Kong’s young and dangerous, but the land in the United States is not as tight as Hong Kong, so the buildings here are only six stories. Although relatively closed, it does not appear particularly depressing.

Going up the stairs at the corner, Guo Shouyun stopped in front of a door marked 321. After confirming that he had not found the wrong address, he knocked on the door.

“Who?”

It didn’t take long, and a slightly hoarse and impatient voice came from it. As the footsteps approached, there was a ‘squeak’ sound, accompanied by a slightly harsh rubbing sound, and the originally closed door opened. A young white man wearing a wrinkled black waistcoat and grey and white plaid shorts that was clearly left after the soup dried up appeared in front of Guo Shouyun.

Compared with his sloppy image, perhaps only this handsome face can add a little point to Guo Shouyun’s evaluation of him.

“Who are you looking for?”

The white young man looked up and down the man who stood in front of him, dressed like a successful Wall Street person, and when he realized that he didn’t know him, he couldn’t help asking curiously.

“Hello, does James Wing live here?”

“Um!”

“Can I see him?”

“come in!”

After looking suspiciously at Guo Shouyun again, the white young man took two steps back and let Guo Shouyun go in.

“James, someone is looking for you!”

When the other party shouted inside, Guo Shouyun followed into the room. Guo Shouyun, who used to live in a university dormitory, didn’t have much expectations for the bachelor’s room.

This is exactly the fact. All kinds of messes you can imagine are available here, and the lunch boxes piled in the corners have not been sorted for a long time, so that the originally small living room is full of a kind of anti-flies and mosquitoes. Extraordinarily alluring scent. However, aside from the mere chaos, there was something different in the room. There are a lot of CDs stacked under the shelf where the TV is placed. Judging from the few exposed, they should all be movie CDs.

“Who is looking for me?”

With the surprised voice, from behind the door that opened next to him, a young man with medium-length hair and a thin face, wearing a loose black jacket and jeans, with a distinct Chinese appearance appeared in front of Guo Shouyun.

When the two met, they were stunned. James Wen did not expect that the person he saw was actually a Chinese man in a neat suit. And Guo Shouyun didn’t expect that God Wen, who was worshipped by horror fans in later generations, still looked like a diaosi at this time.

In the end, Guo Shouyun has rich experience and excellent adaptability. After being stunned for a while, he reacted instantly. After taking two steps forward, he smiled and stretched out his right hand towards the other party.

“Hello, my name is Bruce Guo, and I’m the boss of a film company!”

“James Wing. Wait, you’re the owner of the studio?”

Wen Ziren couldn’t help but be surprised that this man who seemed younger than himself was actually the boss of a film company.

“Yes. The company has just been established and is preparing to make a low-budget horror film. At present, the script and funds are in place, and there is still one director and part of the main creator. A friend of mine recommended you to me.”

Guo Shouyun expressed his intentions directly.

“Director? You mean to ask me to direct?”

Wen Ziren suddenly widened his eyes, and his breathing began to become a little faster.

It has always been his dream to be in charge of the guide tube.

Guo Shouyun smiled and nodded, “If you are interested, we can sit down and talk!”

“Intentionally, intentionally! What Wen is best at is making movies.”

Before Wen Ziren could reply, the white young man beside him couldn’t wait to respond. And Wen Ziren, who had reacted, nodded quickly.

Two years ago, after graduating from RMIT University in Australia, they followed the path of their predecessors to Hollywood to pursue their movie dreams. Because it doesn’t matter, no connections, not handsome, and no money. So I can only work as a handyman in the crew of Universal Studios, and occasionally be an extra. Not to mention the last meal, but after basically paying the rent, there is nothing left on hand.

It is conceivable that in this state of life, Guo Shouyun throws out the opportunity to direct a movie. For the two of them, there is no reason to not agree.

“Since Mr. Wen is interested, why don’t we talk somewhere else?”

Guo Shouyun can’t stand the sour taste here!

“I know there’s a very nice coffee shop nearby, I’ll take you there!”

The white youth is also a smart person. After speaking, he took the initiative to push the door and walked in front.

Guo Shouyun didn’t object and walked out. Guided by the white youth, the three came to a cafe on a street corner.

After a simple communication on the road, Wen Ziren’s nervous and excited emotions gradually calmed down, but he was still a little cautious when facing Guo Shouyun.

“Mr. Guo, are you really planning to make a movie with me?”

“You’ve asked this sentence eight times on the way here!”

Even so, there was no impatience on Guo Shouyun’s face.

“Sorry, I just can’t believe it. After all, I have never made a feature film!” Wen Ziren said quickly.

“It doesn’t matter, everyone has the first time! I believe in your ability!” After a pause, Guo Shouyun took out a published novel from his briefcase and put it in front of Wen Ziren.

“This is the script for the movie I’m going to make!”

“”Spiritual: Ghost Records”? Isn’t this a supernatural novel that was just published some time ago?” Wen Ziren picked it up and looked at it and asked in surprise.

“you have seen?”

“Well! I have liked to read horror novels since I was a child!”

Guo Shouyun, who had heard about Wen Ziren’s growth experience in later generations, nodded.

“You…you are the author of this novel?”

After opening the title page and seeing the author’s introduction above, although there is no photo, the same name makes Wen Ziren understand a little.

“Hmm! Dongren is my pseudonym. I wrote this novel along with Pirates of the Caribbean, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, Fifty Shades of Grey and National Treasure: Declaration of Independence some time ago! ”

After listening, Wen Ziren and the white young man on the side instantly became stunned.

For the first time, they knew that sitting in front of them, despite being young, revealed maturity and majesty that did not match his age, was actually a great writer with great fame.

“Hello, Mr. Guo. I’m a big fan of yours, especially “National Treasure”. The storyline of the treasure hunt in it is really great!”

Ray Warner, a white young man who had already introduced himself on the road, was full of adoration.

“thanks!”

Guo Shouyun smiled and nodded. Regardless of whether the admiration and respect in the eyes of the two at the moment is true or false, it does make people feel good.

“Since you’ve read the novel, it’s easy to talk about it next! I plan to adapt this novel into a movie with an investment budget of $1.5 million and a 30-day shooting time!”

Although $15,000 generated $197 million at the global box office, the return of more than 10,000 times profit is very attractive. However, Guo Shouyun is not very short of money. Compared with the pseudo-documentary of the manual workshop, he prefers to use the method of industrial shooting to make the film more perfect. Also, it’s easier to make announcements.

As for Wen Ziren not being the original director, Guo Shouyun didn’t really care. After all, he has seen movies and can be a producer to supervise. Of course, Wen Ziren’s talent in horror film shooting has been proven in later generations, and the genius does not explain!

“Will thirty days be too short?” While excited, Wen Ziren was also a little worried.

“This will test your directing ability! In addition, the main scenes of the movie are all in the same house, and there is no need for too many exterior scenes or complicated post-production, which further saves time and energy.” Guo Shouyun smiled.

Wen Ziren frowned and nodded.

“Mr. Guo, “Smart: Ghost Story” is a novel. If it is to be made into a movie, it will definitely need some adaptations. I majored in film scriptwriting in college, so I can help!” Ray Warner took the opportunity to promote himself .

In the face of such a good opportunity, he is not stupid, UU reading www. Of course, uukanshu.com should seize the opportunity to find a decent job with a good income.

“Can!”

After a little consideration, Guo Shouyun nodded. Even in the face of Wen Ziren, he would agree.

“Thank you!”

“Well! … By the way, how long have you been in Hollywood?” Guo Shouyun asked.

“It’s been almost two years!”

“Then you know what’s going on here?”

“Mr. Guo, I assure you that there is nothing in Hollywood that we don’t know. Including the detailed addresses of those female stars.” Ray Warner said somewhat flatteringly.

“That’s good!” Guo Shouyun smiled, but he was not interested in the secrets of Hollywood actresses.

“…Since you are familiar with this place, please help me find a filming location that fits the novel. Besides, Wen, you can start choosing actors!”

Wen Ziren nodded excitedly. Guo Shouyun’s vigorous and resolute actions suit his appetite.

“About the contract…?”

“If there is no accident, I will call tomorrow to inform you to sign the contract with the company!” Guo Shouyun said.

“I’m fine!” After thinking for a while, Wen Ziren shook his head.

“I’m fine!”

“Then let’s talk about this first. I have plans for the evening, so I won’t accompany you!”

“Goodbye Mr. Guo!”

“goodbye!”

After Guo Shouyun walked out of the restaurant, Wen Ziren and his friends couldn’t help cheering.

Hearing the faint movement behind him, Guo Shouyun did not look back. He does have plans for a while.

“Hello, I’m going to Starbucks on Cesar Chavez Avenue!”

After the taxi driver agreed, he turned on the accelerator and took Guo Shouyun out of Chinatown.
