Chapter 14 "Ghost Records"

What Kim Jingcheng calls "it" is the name of a movie.

This is a famous movie in his previous life. Its reputation is not its size, but its size.

It is too small, but it creates a box office miracle that shocks the world.

It is "The Ghost Record"!

This movie left a very deep memory for Kim Jingcheng in his previous life.

"Paranormal-Activity", also known as "Agility: Paranormal", is the first American suspense and horror series "Paranormal" film.

This movie is a typical horror film with a small investment and big return. It cost only $11,000, but it eventually earned tens of thousands of times the profits and created a box office miracle of nearly $200 million.

This movie, which is very costly, was awarded the honorary mention of the 2007 Scar Film Festival in its previous life, and also helped director Oren Pelley nominate the American Independence Spirit Award.

The plot of "The Legend of Ghosts" is very simple. It tells the story of freelancer Mick and his girlfriend Katie moving to a new house. The excited Mick brings a camera to track and shoot the two of them, lying down and sitting. However, their excitement is quickly replaced by inexplicable anxiety.

In addition to the two of them, there seemed to be other lives hidden in this empty house. At two or three o'clock in the morning, the camera in a corner of the bedroom truly recorded those abnormal events.

As time goes by, the supernatural incident becomes more and more intense. Katie can't stand trying to move away, but Mick is excited to make this incident into a movie. He doesn't know that when he really wants to leave, it's too late...

It is such a movie that has become a typical case of a small-cost, high-box-office movie in Jin Jingcheng's previous life.

According to memory, "The Legend of the Ghost" was filmed in 2007, and now it is 2003. Kim Jong-sung feels that Oren Pelley, the screenwriter and director of "The Legend of the Ghost" at this time, should not have had this idea and shooting plan.

Because the inspiration for "The Legend of Ghosts" comes from the personal experience of Oren Pelley himself hearing strange noises after moving to a new house. It is estimated that such an experience has not happened to Oren Pelley at this time.

This is a great opportunity for Jin Jingcheng to take the lead in taking action.

In fact, when Kim Jong-sung decided on Facebook's plan after he was reborn and determined that he had to earn a lot of money as soon as possible, he had already thought of "Ghost Records" and wanted to use its miracle to make profits for himself. It was just because Kim Jong-sung doesn't like horror, especially supernatural movies, so he put this plan in his heart.

But Kim Jong-sung admires and admires this movie very much, especially its success, which has a magical magic.

Now, under Facebook's step by step, Jin Jingcheng decided to launch this plan. In his opinion, this plan should be the fastest money, and some other money-making plans hiding in his mind are either difficult to implement with his current situation and ability, or it takes too long to wait.

Since you have made sure, then make a quick decision.

The next day, with the help of Nicholas's mentor, Jin Jingcheng contacted Oren Pelley in Los Angeles, and directly from New York on the east coast of the United States, flew across the entire United States and went straight to Los Angeles on the east coast.

After arriving in Los Angeles, Kim Jong-sung did not immediately make an appointment with Oren Pelley, but instead rented a house here first. He originally wanted to rent it for ten days, but the landlord was unwilling to do so, so he had no choice but to pay the rent for one month.

After renting the house, Jin Jingchengcai contacted Oren Pelley and met him in the rented house.

...

In the empty house, Jin Jingcheng sat on an old sofa, looking at a young man who had just walked in through the door. Although he was a young man, he was much older than Jin Jingcheng.

This young man is Oren Pelli, he is not an American, but an Israelite.

Looking at Oren Pelley, who looked inconspicuous, Jin Jingcheng quietly admired in his heart, thinking that it was such a young man who created the miracle of the "Ghost Record" series in his previous life.

Moreover, Kim Jingsung knew that Oren Pelley was an all-round talent in film, producing, director, photographing, screenwriter, editing, etc., and was proficient in everything, and even good at promoting and distributing. In his previous life, 90% of the work was done by Oren Pelley alone.

When King Jingcheng looked at Oren Pelley, he was amazed in his heart, but his appearance showed a calm and steady appearance.

On the contrary, Oren Pelley, who was older than Jin Jingcheng, looked at Jin Jingcheng with a little unnatural expression.

"Sit down." Jin Jingcheng said with a smile.

"Okay." In an awkward state of mind, Oren Pelley walked towards the sofa and sat next to Jin Jingcheng.

Oren Pelley was very confused. Now he is just a small employee of a small film and television company in Los Angeles. Just two days ago, the company's boss suddenly found him and said that Nikola, the director of the film department of New York University, was looking for him.

He was a little confused at that time. As a dedicated person in the film industry, he could not have known Nikola's name. Whether it is several famous film magazines in the United States or several major awards including the Academy Awards, Nikola is a regular visitor.

But later, when Nichola told him that the person who was really looking for him was not Nichola himself, but a doctoral student of Nicholas, Oren-Pelli became disappointed. He originally thought that he was attracted to Nicholas and wanted to be promoted.

Later, when Nikola contacted Jin Jingcheng, when Jin Jingcheng told him that he wanted to invest in him and let him be fully responsible for shooting a small-cost movie, Oren Pelley became excited again, but he became even more confused.

What's going on?

Until the moment when he sat next to Jin Jingcheng, Oren Pelley's mind was disordered.

Jin Jingcheng looked at Oren Pelley in silence, making the latter feel more uneasy.

After a while, Oren Pelley saw that Jin Jingcheng had not yet spoken, so he asked in confusion: "Are you really planning to invest in letting me shoot a movie?"

Jin Jingcheng nodded: "Yes, I understand the principle of If You Are the One. If I weren't very sincere, how could I travel from New York to Los Angeles across the United States?"

Oren-Pelli asked curiously: "But, I'm just a small employee of a film and television company. What do you like about me? Why do you think of asking me to shoot?"

Although he had great doubts about Jin Jingcheng, Oren Pelley's tone of speech was respectful. Not to mention anything else, it is worthy of Oren Pelley's attention based on the fact that Jin Jingcheng is a Nicholas doctoral student.

Jin Jingcheng said calmly: "I have seen some of your internships and I can see that you are a film talent worth investing in. In addition, what I want to say is that movies are magical. In this magical hot land, anything can happen, so you don't need to be confused. For example, although you are just an unknown employee now, you may become a well-known filmmaker in the future."

Oren Pelley was so confused by Kim Jingcheng's last words that he did not ask further on this issue, and instead asked: "So, what kind of theme are you going to let me shoot a movie?"

Jin Jingcheng blurted out: "A horror movie related to ghosts and supernatural things!"

Oren-Pelley stood up suddenly after hearing this...
