Chapter 1381 1381 Brand New Script

Cameron sat cross-legged across from Hugo and looked at Hugo quietly. At this time, Hugo was reading a large book with his head down. Cameron could clearly see the shadow cast by his upright nose. His facial features look more profound, and those eyes, which are hidden in the shadows and flicker with light, are like a river that flows quietly in the moonlight. Looking down slightly, you can see the pair of cherry-colored lips, surrounded by green stubble, making the lips look so soft, with a thin halo on it, making people bear it I can't stop wanting to touch it.

Cameron sat up slightly, raised his hand and touched the corner of Hugo's mouth lightly, touching the hard beard, Hugo's head was slightly tilted, but there was no other reaction, which made Cameron He couldn't help laughing, raised his index finger again, slowly climbed up along the stubble, gently stroked Hugo's cheek, felt the temperature of the skin with his fingertips, and finally stopped at Hugo's temples, Playing around for a while.

"Sweetheart, I will be very itchy." Hugo raised his hand and grabbed Cameron's right hand, a helpless smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then raised his eyes and glared at Cameron lightly, not wanting Cameron to be He became naughty and jumped suddenly, the whole person was nestled in Hugo's arms, his hands wrapped around Hugo's neck, "The script can be read later, you can go out for a walk with me, or... or play golf. ."

"Again?" Hugo laughed dumbly. He played golf with Cameron only yesterday, and went shopping the day before yesterday. Now it seems that Cameron is completely addicted, "Let's have lunch later, okay?" Guo smiled and said, "I have finished reading the script now."

The disappointed expression on Cameron's face emerged, he pouted, sat up again with a look of despair, and then lay on Hugo's shoulder, "Can't you wait to come back at night to watch it?"

Hugo couldn't help choking, and explained patiently, "Rick asked me to reply to him yesterday, did you forget? I'm already late, I'll finish reading now, reply to Rick at noon, and then it'll be fine. ." Yesterday Hugo was also reading the script, but Cameron was dragged out to play golf, and he didn't finish reading the script in time.

Thinking of this, Cameron pouted, did not speak any more, and lay down on Hugo's shoulder with a face downcast. Since she was behind, Hugo couldn't see Cameron's expression either. Hugo thought about it, instead of saying some empty words now, it's better to finish reading the script as soon as possible, and then go to lunch together. Therefore, Hugo lowered his head and quickly read the script.

This is the third version of the script for "Doomsday," but it's actually a far cry from the "Independence Day" that Hugo remembered.

In this version of the script, the entire branch line of David, a computer expert who played a vital role, was directly cancelled, including his ex-wife and his father were gone, and a female character Jia Siming was added together. She is the assistant to the first secretary of the president. At the beginning of the story, Jia Siming was on a business trip in Los Angeles. It was she who interpreted the countdown signal of the aliens and realized that the aliens were flying over major cities to destroy them. This allowed the president and others to leave the White House in time.

And Jia Siming is the girlfriend of the hero Steve. Although Jia Siming asked the president to leave the White House in time, she and Steve missed it due to the time difference. Steve, the pilot captain, has responded to the emergency call to the base. Jia Siming found the son of Steve and his ex-girlfriend, rescued him, and then took him to the base to find Steve.

At the same time, Steve had the first round of confrontation with the aliens. Unfortunately, all his teammates were wiped out. He was the only one who survived and destroyed an alien fighter plane. Steve captured a The prisoners of war came to District 51, where the President and others were.

Since Steve is the only person who has faced the aliens head-on and survived, he had a conversation with the president, Steve encouraged the president not to lose faith, which gave the president the courage to decide to use all his power to fight the aliens - including nuclear weapons. At the same time, Steve returned to his original base and rescued Jia Siming.

After returning to Area 51, Steve accidentally discovered the secret of the spaceship. He could use a computer virus to paralyze the protection system of the spaceship, which could open the protective cover of the alien spaceship and make their weapons really work. . But the only requirement is that he must personally enter the alien spaceship mother ship to implant the virus. Since Steve is the only one who understands computer viruses, and he's also a pilot, he has to get on his feet.

Before setting off, Steve gave a rousing speech that got everyone to take up arms and join the fray, including the greatly inspired president—a pilot by training who hadn't flown in years since he got into politics. In the end, Steve single-handedly broke into the spaceship and implanted the virus, and inside the earth, the pilots led by the president hit the alien spaceship and won the final victory.

Even if Hugo can no longer remember the detailed plot, it can be clearly found that the entire script has undergone major changes. Due to the deletion of the two roles of David and his ex-wife, the entire story line has been redistributed. Steve's weight has been significantly strengthened, and the role of the president has also been weakened. Steve has directly become a lone hero who saves mankind and turns the tide. Of course, the pilots on the earth who are fighting for their lives are also indispensable, but because of Steve's role Very prominent, these supporting roles not only did not take away the light of the protagonist, but became the finishing touch, making the story full.

More importantly, after reducing the two roles, Steve's girlfriend Jia Siming was also given more content to outline, and added some ink to the emotional scene between Steve and Jia Siming, as well as Steve and his own life. The affection between the sons makes the characters three-dimensional.

Also to Hugo's surprise, the interaction between Steve and the President has also increased, which completes the flow and connection of the entire story, and also highlights the connection between the military and the President - Rain Guo still had to admire the skill of Roland and Dean in writing mainstream patriotic scripts in Hollywood.

Although the current "Independence Day" is still the frame of the story in memory, due to the reduction of characters, the connections between the various characters have become closer, and the plot advancement has become more compact. Of course, the male protagonist Steve inevitably becomes a lone hero in Hollywood genre films again - this is the part that makes people criticize, but this also makes the plot focus on Steve, purely from the story. From an angle, the visibility is increased a lot.

Such a script, although not as fast as "Life and Death", is comparable to "Terminator 2" and "True Lies", which is enough to raise the quality of the entire work of "Independence Day" to a higher level. Of course, an excellent script is only one aspect. In the end, it depends on Roland's directing direction, whether he can stick to the script's sharp and fast style and maintain his original sense of business.

Neither Rick nor Joseph told Hugo the details of the entire negotiation process, so Hugo was quite puzzled at this time, "Are Roland and Dean obviously prepared? Then why is the quality of the revised script still not good enough? "

If Roland and Dean heard Hugo's remarks, they would probably vomit blood directly.

After the meeting that day, Kevin and Allen made a decision almost in a few words: they would not give up Hugo, which meant that either Roland and Dean would compromise and revise the script within three days; or Twentieth Century Fox gave up this project and submitted other projects to cooperate with Hugo. Time is money, and Columbia Pictures, which is waiting for the opportunity, will not miss the opportunity.

As Kevin said, the weight of "Hugo-Lancaster" is too heavy, even if Roland wants to say "I don't care about Hugo, any actor who comes to play my work, I can get it. Success", but the words were stuck in his throat and could not come out. Now in the whole of Hollywood, even directors such as Steve Spielberg and George Lucas have a hard time rejecting Hugo directly. Perhaps only those who are as steadfast as Woody Allen will be able to reject Hugo. Hugo was dismissive—but Roland suspected that even Woody would be impressed by Hugo, and that no one would forget "Before Sunrise."

As a director, Roland's goal has always been very clear. He aspires to be a commercial director who can schedule big scenes and create epic shocks. To achieve this goal, he must win the box office. Backed by major studios. Actors like Hugo are not only the coveted partners of major film companies, but also an irresistible lure for Roland. confused.

So, Roland and Dean compromised. After going back that day, the two of them worked all night to write the script and revise it according to Rick's opinion, but this is a very grand project. Although the script framework is basically unchanged, several clues must be overturned and rewritten.

After the two of them hadn't slept for thirty-six hours, Kevin finally couldn't watch it anymore, and sent two more screenwriters to help. As a result, the four of them worked sleeplessly for nearly thirty hours before announcing the new version. The script is out. This version of the script is beyond recognition and completely different from what they originally conceived.

But even Roland and Dean themselves have to admit that after this change, the whole plot has become more compact, and the thinking has become much clearer. If you put aside the fact that almost every character is omnipotent, the script The quality really shines.

Of course, Hugo was unaware of these circumstances. It is undeniable that the "Independence Day" script in Hugo's memory is indeed not very good. Except for the visual effects, he can't remember too many plots of the year, but the script in his hand is much better, even if It can not be said to be excellent, but also not bad, which also made Hugo's interest in the "Independence Day" project rise directly from five points to seven points.
