Chapter 208 Qualified Commercial Movies

Selena kept her promise and did not take the little girl named Vivian back, but she did not return to the vampire's residence, but went directly to the laboratory under their race. She wanted to know what was going on.

It just so happened that Emilia was also inspecting there, so the story about the Immortal’s ancestor Alexander Covennas and his three children was revealed one by one in their conversation.

This is the first time that the emergence of vampires and werewolfs has been explained in a modern sense. Although it is impossible to study it, it does have a refreshing feeling for the audience.

Then, the difference from the original version reappears, in which both the vampire and werewolf realize what the blood of the descendants of Alexander Covenus’ third unmutated son means to them.

In fact, whether it is a vampire or a werewolf, in order to solve the problem of fearing ultraviolet rays and silver-made equipment, they have thought of countless ways, and in modern times, they have used people to do many experiments.

Because the vampire was slightly better luck and had higher technical skills, he discovered the secret from a sideline, and immediately began to search and chase the descendants of his third son, and finally found the little girl Vivian.

Although the werewolf is far behind, they have traitors in the vampire, and as traitors, Klein is not very clear about these things. So with his means, the little girl and a pair of men and women escaped and were targeted by the werewolf. The vampire quickly responded and sent the best people to pursue them, so the scene at the beginning of the movie was born.

Selena, who learned the truth, was in a dilemma and had to temporarily turn to another aspect. She returned to the base to find Klein to question Lucien. He claimed that she had killed Lucien and brought back a skin.

Klein naturally denied that the two sides parted in disagreement. After collecting some evidence, Selena had to wake up Victor in violation of regulations.

But Victor, who woke up, did not appreciate it, nor did he believe her words. At the same time, he realized that she began to develop feelings for humanity, so he ordered her to reflect on the excuse that Selena had violated the rules and awakened herself.

The person who plays this role is still Bill Ney, a veteran British actor. Apart from Kate, he is the only person who also plays this role in the original version, and his acting skills are also incredible.

The following plot did not make much adjustments. Selena did not reflect on herself as Victor told her, but instead sought evidence.

On the other hand, Klein went to see Lucien privately, and after complaining, he decided to launch it in advance. So Emilia, one of the three elders, was attacked on her way back, and then died because her blood was shining and could not recover. This time she died at least not so cowardly, and she didn't even give a frontal.

Selena was also followed by Klein's people, and she returned to the place where Vivian was hidden, and the werewolves followed.

Hiding, hurry up!Selena shouted to the little girl, then pulled out her two guns to fight the werewolf.

Although the two had initially established trust, the indifferent little girl couldn't help but feel moved when she saw the outside world right in front of her.

In addition, the battle on the other side was extremely fierce, so I finally made an adventurous move, sneaking onto the safety ladder outside and slid onto the street from where it was.

However, two werewolf disguised as police guarded here. Although the little girl did not trust them and wanted to escape, how could she escape from the werewolf with her weak ability? So she was captured in screaming.

Although Selena heard her scream, she was entangled by the werewolf above and couldn't take off her body. She finally solved them and could no longer find any trace if she wanted to chase them.

In desperation, after inspecting the werewolf's corpse, he took the seriously injured but not dead Lucien's confidant back.

With this guy testified, Victor naturally no longer doubted it. In addition, news of Emilia's death came, and immediately summoned troops to prepare for a counterattack.

Many details started to get messy again, and there was nothing we could do about this. After all, the movie was only so long, Adrian was just paying attention and didn't even have the name of the producer, so he couldn't control it. But it was already very good to be able to do it at this point. After all, it was a medium-investment commercial movie.

The final battle came, Selena fought all the way, took the lead in Lucien's lair, and found Vivian first.

sorry.The little girl who had been acting indifferently finally started to cry, hugging her tightly and refused to let go.

It's okay, no one will hurt you anymore.Selena once again showed her warm side, hugging her and constantly comforting her, while at the same time she was a little confused and didn't know what to do.

Then Lucien and Crane, who colluded with him, broke in. Lucien wanted to inject blood into himself and then quickly evolved to fight back against the influx of vampires, but Crane, who had been exposed, had nowhere to chase him, so they met in this situation.

After a while, Klein suddenly pulled out the gun containing the silver nitrate bullet and fired at Lucien. Lucien had no idea at all and fell to the ground immediately.

Klein immediately breathed a sigh of relief. As long as he took his head back, I believe Victor would definitely forgive him, of course, there was that little girl.

Selena naturally would not hand Vivian over to him. After a disagreement, the two started to fight again. Although Klein was not Selena's opponent, he was vicious and attacked Vivian every time. Selena accidentally got beaten away by him, and Vivian immediately fell into his hands.

Klein was so happy that he immediately mocked them all for the villains in the movie. "Legend of the Night" is no exception. How could the protagonists turn the tables?

However, the final puzzle was solved, and the love between Lucien and Victor's daughter Sonia was also revealed.

This kind of blood must be sprinkled. As one of the important supporting roles, this kind of blood is actually quite suitable.

At the same time, Klein also explained why Victor wanted to adopt Selena. She looks very similar to Sonia, which indirectly explained why Lucien let her go twice.

Could it be that he killed my family?The shocked Selena couldn't help but ask another question.

Of course not. The one who killed your family was Victor, but Pity's little girl.Klein laughed, like all the villains, very rampant, so he was immediately retribution.

The semi-paralyzed Lucien suddenly broke one of his legs. The furious Crane grabbed Vivian in her hand and beat him out without thinking. The little girl also rolled to the ground in the scream of pain.

This immediately angered Selena, roared, picked up the weapon on the ground, jumped high, and instantly killed Klein.

Then, Vivian, who was lying on the ground, moaned in pain, and Lucien's teeth scratched her arm as Klein threw her onto Lucien.

Werewolf has no women. Because women cannot bear the power of tyranny, all the women bitten by werewolf died, and Vivian is so small that she naturally cannot bear it even more.

Bite her... Lucien, who was dying, shouted at this time, she was the last direct descendant of Covennas... She could combine the blood of two races...

With no choice, Selena bit Vivian, which also put the last straw for the breakup between her and Victor.

When the elder came in with his men and learned about Vivian's situation, he ordered that she must be killed, and he would never allow this situation.

With such merciless face and the repeated questioning of Selena who learned the truth, the conflict between the two could never be avoided.

This final fight scene is different from the previous ones. Victor and Selena both used long swords in retro style, and the crisp sound of a vampire showed the elegance of a vampire.

Of course, this situation did not last long. Victor was the three elders after all, and an old ghost who had lived for thousands of years. Selena was unable to let go of her hands and was beaten backwards after all.

But as soon as she saw Vivian, who was still weak next to her, her anger filled her chest. After being forced to get Victor's sword, she jumped over and killed the guys quickly.

But then Victor followed him also pierced her shoulder with a sword. At the critical moment of life and death, Vivian suddenly rushed out from the side, allowing Victor to be the god for a few seconds. Selena seized the opportunity and pierced his heart with a sword.

It was over, Selena looked at Vivian and finally asked: Are you willing to go with me?

Will you protect me?Vivian asked back.

The movie finally came to an end. Of course, some clues to prepare for the second part must be left behind, such as awakening the room, the blood of the guy who was killed seeped down and flowed into Marcus's coffin, or the body without Lucien, and Victor was just pierced into the heart.

Both characters were very popular in their previous lives, so they were temporarily retained in this way with Adrian's intervention.

If the movie is successful and their characters are indeed popular, they will undoubtedly be resurrected in the sequel, then what exactly is this movie?

The box office can answer the new line contacted almost 2,500 theaters for "Legend of the Night", and then received $29 million in North America in the first week.

It is an excellent start for such a moderately invested commercial film. Generally speaking, as long as the first four numbers in the first week's box office are similar to the first four numbers in the theater, the movie has great potential to be tapped.

It has been modified, and it has used a lot of publicity methods, and the gimmick of the first movie to play trailers on yutube. Moreover, the several commercial movies arranged by Adrian for Kate, such as "Agent Beautiful" or "Tomb Raider", are basically the only ones, so she has higher commercial value, so it is normal to have such achievements.

At the same time, almost half of the comments from various media and film critics thought it was OK.

As a commercial film, "The Legend of the Night" is undoubtedly qualified. It not only subverts the traditional story of vampires and werewolfs, but also boldly innovates. The modern Gothic style makes the whole movie look very fashionable and the plot is very convincing. The director has found a perfect balance between horror movies and action movies. Kate Beckinsale's performance is also amazing. Although she spends a cold face most of the time, she is very impressive every time her expression changes.

A film critic described it.

Of course, comments like Stupid movies, like a role-playing game, the war between vampires and werewolfs is just the degree of gangster fire, and the rating on imdb is only 7, and the freshness on rotten tomatoes is only about 55%.

But in the eyes of ordinary people, this is a very good movie. Not to mention anything else, although the freshness on Rotten Tomato website is only 55%, the audience likes it to 89%.

Vampire culture is still very popular in the West, and with Laura, it is also starring, and the tight leather jacket and modern Gothic style have also fascinated a large number of people.

If Laura is wild, lively, and proud, then Selena is cold, cold, and only emotional to those who are worthy of care. Of course, they are both elegant and charming.

A netizen's message expressed the voice of most people.

Moreover, both critics, including those who are critical and praise-oriented, and ordinary people, think that Selena's scene of sleeping Vivian is the most touching part of the whole movie, especially those who are critical, who say that this scene barely makes this vulgar movie look less vulgar.

Dakota has also further accumulated popularity, either because she is too young, or because this character is easy to make people feel sympathetic, even those critics don’t give her too much accusation, so Vivian’s character becomes the only one in the entire movie that has been recognized by 99%.

Of course, if it is really popular, Kate is the highest. She is the first protagonist, and she is also the only one who takes away the male protagonist to better highlight her. Her image of a tight black leather jacket and windbreaker has become synonymous with Laura.

Look, my dear, it's pretty good.While accompanying her and her daughter on the weekend, Adrian said teasingly with data words, right?

Of course, the latter sentence was said to Lily. The little guy carefully read the newspaper for a while before sighing: I think I missed something.

oh?Adrian raised his eyebrows.

I was thinking... My daughter looked at her mother with her face. If that character was me, it would definitely be very good.

Why, you want to be an actor, too?Adrian showed a surprised expression.

No, but I think... Lily turned her head and thought about it. If she appeared in front of the camera with her mother... If I was playing Vivian and her mother... it would have been cool!

Looking at her daughter's whimsical appearance, Adrian shrugged and didn't intend to say anything. When the little guy first started to dismantle the DV, he thought she would be a scientist in the future. When the little guy led his sisters to make the family mess up, he thought she could be a leader in the future. Now...

Well, it doesn't matter. She is still young. She has time to adjust her ideas in the future. No matter what the little guy does in the future, it is her own business. She just needs to be a bystander and carefully protect her.

It seems that the sequel is a sure thing.After the little guy ran to play, Adrian said to Kate again.

It's still early, maybe they won't be interested in...I'm wearing a black tight leather jacket next week.Kate shrugged.

It doesn't matter, as long as I'm still interested.Adrian said with a smile, Kate immediately turned his eyes and said nothing.

Adrian doesn't care. Anyway, as long as the current box office continues, the sequel will not be able to run away. If it is good, the corresponding peripherals, such as comics, character models, games, etc., will also be put on the agenda.

So he turned to another topic: By the way, my dear, there is a script I think you can consider, it is not mine, and the background setting is a bit messy and the investment required is very high. If you are not careful, it is easy to cause losses, but... I hope you can take it.

oh?Why?Kate was immediately curious.

Because I can almost outline what you look like in my head, oh, that's really charming.Adrian said in an exaggerated tone.

After thinking a little, Kate understood what he was saying and immediately gave him a fierce look, but she still couldn't help asking: What is it?

You know, Universal has produced many horror films before, with many classic monster images, such as Frankenstein. This time they wanted to concentrate these monsters in one movie and found Stephen Somos as director and producer... Adrian immediately introduced it.

There is no doubt that this movie is the Universal Monsters hodgepodge in the previous life "Van Helsing". According to the trajectory of the previous life, this movie should have been launched long ago, but Universal has developed quite smoothly in recent years. The amazing superhero series has made them a lot of money. Although some producers have this idea, they have not taken it to do so.

But Somos, who took over, moved the top leaders of the world, making them think that there is still potential to tap, so they put it on the agenda at this time.

Adrian still knows what happened to "Van Helsing" in his previous life, but he does not intend to intervene too much. Just like the sequel to "Legend of Night" and the sequel to "X-Men", he cannot always teach them how to do it step by step.

Besides, although the box office of "Van Helsing" in his previous life was average, the DVDs and videotapes sold very well. For a period of time, North America's sales were almost the same as the box office. It can be seen that there should be no big problems with the quality of the movie, and it should be that something went wrong during the release and promotion.

After AC Media acquired Global, it has made some rectifications in this regard. The group of people trained by Bosworth has dug up a few good talents. Global's current distribution capabilities are different from the past. At that time, I believe it will be better than the original ones, so Adrian's attention is more on the heroine.

Laura Crawford has already gotten into his bed, and Selena, the most mysterious, elegant and fashionable female vampire, is also approaching. Can Princess Anna, who is full of classical temperament, still escape?
