Yayiyini imvelaphi yaleyo movie? Yikuphi ukukhuthazeka namandla akho ngenkathi ubhala futhi uqondisa?

UBrea Grant: Nginomuzwa wokuthi ama-movie aphetha ngokuqhamuka emithonjeni eminingi kangaka, futhi ngifisa ukuthi kube khona eyodwa ethize, kepha engizokujikijela yona, ingabe ngiyazithanda izinganekwane zasemadolobheni ezisukela kuma-90s. Bengihlala ngiyithanda leyo ephathelene nomuntu ovuka kubhavu wokugeza izinso zakhe zilahlekile, futhi othile ubebhale esibukweni, njengokuthi, "iya esibhedlela ngokushesha". Futhi uyazi, into exakile ngokukhulela edolobheni elincane ukuthi uzwa lezi zinganekwane zasemadolobheni, futhi ngingaqiniseka ukuthi kwakuyinto eyenzeka edolobheni lami elincane, njengoba ngangicabanga ukuthi leyo kwakuyindaba eyiqiniso eyenzeka UMarshall, eTexas. Ngakho-ke ngicabanga ukuthi bengilokhu ngikugcina lokho kimi. 

Futhi lolu uhlobo lwendaba yami yokwenzekile kuleyo nso, noma kungani leyo nso ibilahlekile - uhlobo lwenguqulo exakile yale ndaba. Ngikucabanga lokho futhi futhi nje, ngivela edolobhaneni elincane, bengilokhu ngifuna ukubhala indaba engasile, yasendle enabalingiswa abaningi abangikhumbuza abantu engikhule nabo. Futhi ngicabanga ukuthi lezo yizinto ezimbili eziyinhloko ezenze ukuthi ziqhubeke.

Manje, ngaleyo nganekwane yasemadolobheni futhi, kusukela kuma-90s, ngabe leso bekusinye sezizathu zokuthi kungani ufuna ukuyibeka ngo-1999?

Yebo! Futhi, ngangisemusha ngeminyaka yama-90s, futhi ngenkathi ngibhala le ndaba futhi yayenzeka edolobheni lami, kwaba nengqondo enkulu kimi ukuthi ngicabange ngedolobha njengoba ngangazi. Ngoba angikaze ngihlale lapho kusukela ngineminyaka engu-18, futhi angihlalanga eTexas cishe eminyakeni eyishumi. Ngakho-ke kimi, bekumayelana nokubhala ngeningizimu nezinto nokunye ngemihlaba emincane yedolobha, kepha indlela engihlela ukubazi ngayo. 

Ngiyathanda ukuthi inabo laba besifazane abanamandla, abanamandla ezindimeni eziholayo, ngoba awuboni ngempela ithani lama-movie anabesifazane abaneminyaka engama-40 ehola umbukiso, engicabanga ukuthi ukukhetha okuhle ngempela. Ingabe leyo bekuyinto obukade uyicabanga lapho ubhala iskripthi, noma ngabe lolo hlobo lwenzekile ekusakazeni?

Ngiyabonga ngokunaka kwakho, akekho noyedwa ongilethele lokho! Uyazi, manje njengoba ngenze ibhayisikobho nabalingisi bami abathathu abasemqoka beneminyaka engama-40, sekuyiyo konke Ngifuna ukukwenza! [ehleka] Ngoba banolwazi olunzulu, futhi bamane bakuthathe ngokungathi sína konke kodwa futhi futhi bangagoqa ngempela ngezibhakela ngendlela ethokozisayo. Ngisho, uNikea Gamby-Turner, kungenye yezindlela zakhe zokuqala ukuhola ebhayisikobho futhi ubemuhle kakhulu futhi une-aura enhle nje, njengoba nje eletha injabulo enkulu ukusetha, futhi usindile kumdlavuza, futhi ahlele yakho konke akwenzayo uthatha nalokhu, njengamabele kasawoti, kepha ukwazisa kakhulu ngasikhathi sinye. 

Ngokubhalwa, cha! Empeleni umlingiswa kaMandy, ngenkathi ebhala, ngacabanga ukuthi ngingamdlalisa. Kepha njengoba sisondele ekukhiqizweni, futhi sathola ukukhanya okuluhlaza, ngangifuna ukugxila kakhulu futhi ngiqiniseke ukuthi i-movie kwakuyi-movie engcono kakhulu engingayenza. Futhi ngiyazi ukuthi ngeshwa, lapho ngisebenza, ukuqondisa kwami ​​kuyahlupheka, futhi okuphambene nalokho. Futhi bengilokhu ngingumlandeli ka-Angela ngakho-ke ngenkathi nginquma ukungabi kuyona, samthinta. Ngakho-ke empeleni lalibhalwe lisondele eminyakeni yobudala bohlamvu lukaRegina, lapho babecishe balingane khona. Kepha manje njengoba ngikwenzile lokhu, ngiyakutshela, njengakho konke engifuna ukukwenza ama-movie ngabesifazane abakwiminyaka yama-40 kanye nengama-50. [ehleka]

Ngiyayithanda nami, ikakhulukazi ebekwe kuma-90s. Nginomuzwa wokuthi kunomphetho omncane kuma-90s ofika ngempela ekusebenzeni kwakhe, ngoba, njengokuthi, uqedile ngakho, usuqedile ngo-100% ngayo, futhi ifundeka kahle, ngicabanga.

Yebo, kuncane, njengabesifazane engangibazi eminyakeni engama-90 ababebadala kunami, futhi babedlulile, futhi bonke babenalolo hlobo lwezinwele olwalufana neMaroon? Uyazi, umbala weMaroon 90s? Futhi ngangibathanda kakhulu. Futhi ayesemhlabeni kakhulu kunami. Ngicabanga ukuthi yilokho u-Angela agcina ekuhlanganisile. Futhi ngicabanga ukuthi isebenze kahle kakhulu kule movie.  

Manje Lucky, engikuzwa kuvele kuthathwe yiShudder - ngakho-ke halala! - uma sikhuluma ngezindima zabesifazane nabesifazane, kusendleleni ebheka ngayo ubudlelwano phakathi kwabesifazane nabanye besifazane, nabesifazane nabesilisa, leyo ngxoxo yonke ihlakaniphile impela, ngicabanga. Uvelaphi lo mbhalo? Futhi unethemba lokuthi izethameli zizothathani kuleyo filimu, ngoba ngibona sengathi izethameli zabesilisa nabesifazane mhlawumbe bazoya ku-nitpick ezintweni ezihlukile ezahlukahlukene futhi babone izinto ezihlukile kuyo.

Ngicabanga kanjalo, besinayo leyo mpendulo ekuhlolweni kokuhlola lapho sithola khona impendulo ehluke kakhulu. Angikaze ngiye ezikrinini zokuhlola, kepha uNatasha [Kermani, umqondisi] wayengithumelela wonke amanothi. Futhi bekuhlukaniswe impela emigqeni yobulili yalokho amanothi abo ayekwenza, nezinto ababezizwa ukuthi ziyazidinga noma zazingazidingi. Kuyibhayisikobho eyinkimbinkimbi, futhi ngiyakuthanda lokho ngayo, ukuthi inayo le lead eyinkimbinkimbi yabesifazane, efana 12 Ihora Shift. Bengingazami ukubhala iqhawe lakoyedwa, bengingayingeni eyokugcina Intombazane eyenza zonke izinqumo ezifanele. Bengifuna ukubhala laba baphikisi besifazane abanzima, futhi bobabili bayiqhawe elincane ngezindlela ezihlukile.

Ngicabanga ukuthi abantu bangathatha kuLucky abakufunayo. Ngiqonde ukuthi, kimina, bengizama ukubhala indaba yendaba yonke emayelana nabesifazane nodlame, udlame olubhekiswe kwabesifazane, nendlela okwenzeka ngayo yonke indawo, noma ngabe uzimisele ukubona ngaphandle kwezwe lakho, uma lokho kunengqondo. Ngakho-ke isimilo sikaMeyi ukubona konke lokhu ngokuzithoba, futhi usabela kukho ngokuzithoba, futhi indlela acabanga ukuthi iyindlela efanele. Futhi bengifuna ukukhombisa ukuthi mhlawumbe lokho kuyinkimbinkimbi kanjani. Akenzi izinqumo ezinhle njalo. Akayena umlingiswa othandeka kakhulu, unezinkinga. Futhi lokho kungithakazelisa ngempela. Angicabangi ukuthi kufanele sibe nalezi zihola phambili zabesifazane lapho sibuka ama-movie.

Yebo, ngicabanga ukuthi kujabulisa kakhulu ukuba nale mikhondo engahambisani nabesifazane, ngoba awukuboni lokho kaningi. Kuma-movie asabisayo, kuvame ukuba nobunzima obuncane, kepha nge-trope ye-Final Girl, awumboni ngempela lowo wesifazane wokugcina. Lapho ethanda khona, adlule kukho, futhi uhlangabezane nokuningi, futhi akagijimi ngokuzama ukusindisa izingane. Ugijimela ukuzisindisa futhi ngikuthanda kakhulu lokho.

Kulungile, kuhle. I-trope yale ntombazane enhle eyintombi ngizizwa sengathi sengiyibonile, futhi ngiyawathanda lawo ma-movie futhi ngiyabonga kakhulu ukwethuka ngabo bonke abalingisi besifazane abamangalisayo esinabo, bengifuna nje ukwenza okuthile okuyinkimbinkimbi.

Ukuba ngumlandeli owesabekayo, njengoba ngiyazi ukuthi uyikho, ngenkathi ubhala ngabe ngabe ucabanga ukudicilela phansi lawo mathrekhi? Ngicabanga nomlingiswa woMuntu futhi, ngithanda kakhulu ukuthi akayena umlingiswa wakho ojwayelekile - noma owe-stereotypical - slasher. Akafani nalomuntu omkhulu, onesihluku, owesabekayo. Ungumuntu nje lo. Ngabe ubunakho lokho engqondweni ukuthi udlale nalokho okucatshangwa kancane ngenkathi ubhala iskripthi?

Yebo, ukubukeka kwendoda okufanele ngiyinike uNatasha. Embhalweni, kwakungekho ncazelo encane kakhulu. Kwakungokuthi nje ufake isifihla-buso futhi awukwazi ukusho ukuthi ungubani. Kepha weza nombono wokuthi wayengeyena umfana omkhulu. Akayena uLeatherface, akayena umuntu ongamkhetha esixukwini, obekubaluleke ngempela, futhi unohlobo lokusika okuhlanzekile, engicabanga ukuthi luhlobo olwesabekayo, lapho Hannibal uhlangothi olwesabekayo lwezinto. Kepha yebo, bengazi wonke ama-movie we-slasher. Futhi ngithanda ama-movie ashibhile. Kepha bengingafuni ukuthi i-movie ikhulume ngale ndoda. 

Ngicabanga ukuthi okugcina kwenzeka ngokwethuka, futhi akuyona into embi, ukuthi siyabuka NgoLwesihlanu 13th futhi I-Nightmare ku-Elm Street ngoba silungiselela uFreddy Krueger, akunjalo? Silungiselela abantu ababi, futhi ngifuna abantu bavulele ukuhola kwabesifazane esikhundleni salomfana. Kuyahlekisa, lapho ngangikubeka ngapha nangapha, abantu babefana, kepha senza kanjani okulandelayo? Ngoba kufanele senze iNdoda umuntu esingambona ngokulandela, futhi kufanele simenzele okuthile, yini i-movie yakhe elandelayo? Futhi nginjengaye, akatholi enye i-movie [ehleka] Anginandaba nalowo mfana.

Ngithanda ukuthi owesilisa wehlukile kowesifazane ngamunye futhi, wonke umuntu wesifazane unenguqulo yakhe yalomfana, ngoba ngicabanga ukuthi sonke siyakwenza. Kukhona njalo onjengalowo muntu, uyazi?

Yebo, impela. Futhi ngicabanga ukuthi ukube ngangiklame ukuthi le Ndoda ibibukeka kanjani kimi, ibizobukeka njengomuntu ohlukile kunalowo uNatasha ayengayiklama, futhi ngicabanga ukuthi konke kuvela nje kokuhlangenwe nakho kwethu siqu ngalokho esike sakuthola mhlawumbe uma kukhulunywa ngokuba ngowesifazane emhlabeni.

Impela, yebo. Manje wenze izindima eziningi ezahlukahlukene phakathi kokuqondisa nokwenza, ukukhiqiza, ukubhala; ingabe ikhona indawo okhululeka kuyo kakhulu, futhi ingabe ikhona indawo ongathanda ukuyihlola kabanzi?

Ngoba ngisanda kwenza ukulingisa okuningi, kuyindawo engikhululeka kuyo. Ngizizwa ngiphonselwa inselelo yiyo kwesinye isikhathi, kodwa hhayi kakhulu njengoba ngangivame ukwenza, futhi ngicabanga - njengomuntu - ngi ' m njalo ngifuna inselelo. Futhi ngifuna into engithusayo nento ezongisunduza ngempela ukuthi ngihlole izingxenye zami ezintsha. Ngakho-ke kuleli phuzu empilweni yami, ngithembele ekubhaleni nasekuqondiseni ngezizathu ezahlukahlukene. Kuyathakazelisa. I-COVID ishintshe izinto eziningi impela. Kepha into eyodwa engiyithanda kakhulu ngokuthi umsebenzi wami ukuphi, ukuthi ngisebenzise ukubhala ngokuhlukaniswa nabantu. Futhi ngifanele ngisebenze kumaphrojekthi amahle kakhulu, ngoba ngingawenza kusuka kwi-laptop yami, okuwukuthi njengomlingisi, kusobala, ongeke ukwenze, futhi njengomqondisi, awukwazi ukukwenza ngempela - ngicabanga ngaphandle kokuthi wenza leyo movie Host [ehleka]. Kepha yebo, ngicabanga ukuthi ukwenza ngokukhululeka, kepha ezinye izinto zizwakala zinselele, kepha futhi zibufanele kakhulu ubuntu bami.

Manje futhi, njengomlingisi odlala lo mlingiswa owubhalile, ngenkathi ubhala yena, ngabe uke waba nekhadi lakho nezinto ezithile engqondweni? Noma ingabe kuphuma lapho ubusebenza kukho? Yayinjani leyo nqubo, esebenza endimeni ozoyibhala?

Angizange ngizibhalele mina ukuthi ngibe phakathi, ngakho-ke ngacabanga ukuthi ngingahle ngiyiqondise. Bengingaqiniseki. Futhi benginabalingisi abahlukahlukene abanamathiselwe kuyo ngezikhathi ezahlukahlukene ngaphambi kokuba sikwenze. Ngakho-ke ngangihlala ngifanekisela owesifazane owayenayo ndawonye ngendlela engingakaze ngizizwe sengathi nginayo ndawonye [ehleka]. Ngakho-ke kuyaxaka ukuthi ngigcine sengidlala le ndima. Kepha lapho u-Epic efuna ukuphumelela, beza kimi bathi, singathanda ukuthi uNatasha asiqondise futhi singathanda ukuthi udlale phambili. 

Ngake ngacabanga ngakho isikhashana, uma ngifuna ukukwenza, futhi ngagcina ngithatha isinqumo sokuthi lokho kungaba yindlela enhle yokuthi ngihlale ngizibandakanya nefilimu engangiyikhathalela ngempela. Ngoba ngangibhale lo mlingiswa futhi ngamdala, angizange ngizwe sengathi kwakuyinto elula kakhulu kimi ukuthi ngingene esikhunjeni sakhe. Ngicabanga ukuthi wehluke kakhulu kunami, futhi zikhona izinsuku lapho ngangizizwa sengathi ngiletha iBrea eningi ngoMeyi, kodwa ngicabanga ukuthi kukonke bekungilula kimi, ngoba ngivame ukwenziwa ngathi umngani omkhulu noma intombi yomuntu, futhi imvamisa umuntu onobungane, futhi lokhu ngokusobala bekungumlingiswa omncane kakhulu.

Wenze umsebenzi omuhle ngayo. Futhi uhlangane kakhulu, ngakho-ke lapho yonke into iqala ukwehla, kuyathakazelisa ukumbuka ebhekana nalokho futhi ebhekana nalokho.

Ngiyabonga. Futhi uyazi, yini okuthakazelisa kakhulu, engikutholile kusethi, bengisanda kukuqondisa 12 Ihora Shift bese ngiyahamba ngenza Lucky njengomlingisi, futhi sachitha isikhathi esiningi - mina noNatasha nomklami wethu wezingubo, uBrianna Quick, nami - sibuka izingubo. Futhi yilokho okwangifaka ekhanda likaMeyi, futhi umbono kaNatasha ngoMeyi ukuthi izingubo zakhe zicace bha. Futhi angicabangi ukuthi asisebenzisi lutho lwami. Futhi ngokujwayelekile kuma-indie movie, ngiletha izingubo zami eziningi, futhi ngigcina ngigqoke izingubo zami eziningi. Kepha bengigqoke lezi zingubo ezingezona neze uhlobo lwezinto ebengijwayele ukuzibeka emzimbeni wami. Angikaze ngigqoke inkinobho phezulu, njalo, [ehleka] futhi uMay uthanda inkinobho phezulu. Kepha kuyangisiza ukubona uMay njengohlobo lomuntu ohlukile kunami. 

Manje futhi, ngiyazi ukuthi ungumthandi wohlobo olwesabekayo, nohlobo oluvamile. Ngabe ufuna ukuqhubeka usebenze futhi ubhale futhi uqondise amafilimu ohlobo? Ingabe leyo yinto othanda ukuyenza ngempela?

Yebo! Yebo. Kumnandi kakhulu ukwenza izinto emhlabeni wezinhlobo ngoba ungaba nobuciko bangempela, futhi ngicabanga ukuthi yilokho engikudlayo njengombukeli, Yilokho engizohlala ngikubhala futhi ngikudonsele. Ngicabanga mina, ngiyaluthanda uhlobo, impela ngifaka amahlaya amaningi kulo. Ngakho-ke ngigcina ngenza izinto eziningi ezihlekisayo noma ezihlekisayo. 

Kepha into engiyithandayo ukuyenza ukudlala ngama-horror tropes. Ngiyathanda, ngiyathanda ukuthi izethameli ezishaqisayo zinalo lolu lwazi oluhlangene lwama tropes nezinto esizenzayo. Futhi ngingasebenzisa lolo lwazi oluhlangene futhi ngenze okuthile ngaphezulu kwalokho. Yilokho i-100% engifuna ukukwenza ngaso sonke isikhathi. Kepha ngivele ngakhombisa ukuqondiswa kohlelo lwe-TV olwaluyinganekwane yesayensi, futhi ngithanda i-sci-fi, ngithanda izinto ezinkulu emkhathini, lokho nje okunye okunye. Kepha luhlobo olufanayo lwezinto lapho uqala ukuba nomcabango nje. Singabantwana nje. Singabantwana nje abazodlala lokho esithanda ukukubuka.

Enye yezinto engizithandayo ngohlobo olwesabekayo ukuthi kuzwakala ngempela ukuthi ayikho imithetho. Uma wenza idrama noma amahlaya kufanele unamathele kwimithetho eminingi "yezwe langempela". Uma kukhona ubuchwepheshe obuthintekayo, kufanele unamathele kuleyo mithetho, kepha ngokwethuka ungakuphonsa lokho ngefasitela wenze okuningi njengokufuna kwakho, bese uvele ubusebenze kwiskripthi, noma ungakwenzi babe ukusebenza kwiskripthi, ungavele ukwenze kungabi yinto. Futhi kuyathakazelisa ukuthi kunikeza kanjani ithuba elingaka lokudala.

Yebo, futhi ngicabanga ukuthi ababukeli bayayithanda, bathanda ubuhlakani bayo yonke, futhi bayakuthanda ukugoba imithetho kancane. Ngiyasithanda leso sici sohlobo uqobo.
