Chapter 756 This Is a Very Powerful Screenwriter!
After returning to the United States, Fatty Wei continued to return to the "Star Wars" crew and was busy filming, while Lu Yuan called James.
The meaning of the call is obvious, it is to talk about the script of "Death is Coming".
After receiving Lu Yuan's call, James came over without even eating breakfast.
"Death is Coming".
It was weird when James first heard the name.
He hopes to make a movie that is a little closer to reality, but without the gods coming out directly.
But the title of "Death is Coming" directly has the word "Death".
This made James very puzzled for the first time.
After he sat down, Lu Yuan handed him a script.
When he opened the script draft, he suddenly found that the script draft this time was not as detailed as the previous "Chain Saw", and it was even completely different from the scripts written by Lu Yuan before.
There is only an outline of less than 400 words and...
"Mr. Lu, this is..." James widened his eyes after seeing the many unimaginable killing methods in the script.
"This is the outline of the movie..." Lu Yuan looked at James and laughed.
"Huh?" James was taken aback.
"The setting of this movie has a beginning and an ending. As for the rest, just follow my unexpected method..."
"Let me see……"
When James slowly looked over the details of some murder methods, James' expression became serious.
Although the title of "Reaper is Coming" has the word "Reaper", in fact there is no such thing as "Reaper" in the content. Instead, it is a series of unimaginable accidents and some so-called psychological hints.
I didn't think there was anything when I saw it for the first time, but when you really simulated the scene, even James himself felt a creepy feeling.
closer to reality,
The easier it is to happen, the more terrifying it is...
"How about it?"
"Boss... If this movie is made well, it will indeed lead to a new wave of climax..." James looked up, "But, boss, the content of the script is connected... Also, although the script is very good , but a little rough, if you shoot..."
"James..." Lu Yuan looked at James.
"Ok?"
"I think the movie is not my own movie, but everyone's movie..."
"Huh?" James looked up, a little confused about the situation.
"I hope that the screenwriters of our crew can hold a meeting together, and while discussing the shooting of "The God of Death" can complete the series of "The God of Death" in an instant. After all, there are many unexpected ways of death in life, and I Some unexpected plot in the script can only temporarily support a movie, not a series of movies, you understand?"
"Boss, are you saying that every movie gives everyone a sense of participation? If a good plot is negotiated, can it be incorporated into the script so that everyone can have a sense of accomplishment?" After listening to James, he suddenly remembered Fatty Wei once told him that "long-distance" is everyone's "long-distance", and then he found that he was very touched in his heart.
Before, he wondered why Lu Yuan came up with a rough script that seemed a bit incomplete.
but now……
He suddenly understood!
"En." Lu Yuan nodded.
In fact, it wasn't that he didn't want to write a mature script, but that when he was writing the script of "The God of Death Is Coming", he found that he couldn't remember many accidental plots of "The God of Death" and only remembered a part of it. If you really want to fill in the other part with all the plots you want, it will take a long time.
Therefore, at this moment, Lu Yuan tried to use another method.
That is, he throws away the framework and concept, and then directors like James and the screenwriters below have been perfecting the concept. Of course, the final perfected script is up to him to decide whether to change it or not.
Of course, this is an adventure. If it succeeds this time, then Lu Yuan will be able to relax completely.
after all……
He has a lot of story outlines in his mind, but if he wants to come up with them in detail, he has to rack his brains...
Moreover, as the familiar movies became less and less, Lu Yuan realized that sooner or later his future would be exhausted.
Instead of this, it is better to try it sooner.
Of course if you fail...
So……
Just fail.
Anyway, no matter what I do, I can't be reduced to the point of begging for food, right?
"Boss, I understand. By the way, boss, do we have to recruit some screenwriters?"
"Well, recruiting a screenwriter?"
"The screenwriters under our company seem to be..." James hesitated, then looked up at Lu Yuan.
"what?"
"There is only Mr. Qian Zhong who is the real screenwriter for the adaptation of the crew. Mr. Qian Zhong runs in four or five crews every day, gets up early every day, and usually doesn't go back until midnight... I'm afraid he will work with us again on "Death" If the script of "Here Comes", he will...be exhausted..."
"Huh? There are no other screenwriters in our company?" Lu Yuan was stunned when he heard this.
"there is none left……"
"how so?"
"Boss, the main reason is that our company does not recruit people on weekdays, and the requirements for recruitment are very strict. Most people can't get in at all, and Mr. Qian Zhong's ability is quite good. He is in charge of three or four crews by himself. It seems that he is still We are at home, so we have no other ideas...but if we put more pressure on him, he may..."
"..." Lu Yuan was silent.
He was lost in thought.
Although "Remote" Entertainment seems to be very strong, with strong fighting power and a good reputation, but until now, it seems that the total number of people added up is about the same as that of a second-rate entertainment company...
so……
Am I about to scale up?
"Boss, how about..." James hesitated for a while, then looked at Lu Yuan.
"Hmm..." Lu Yuan nodded, and when he saw James' nervous and expectant expression, he was suddenly surprised: "James...do you have anyone to recommend?"
"Ah..." James was asked by Lu Yuan, and then his eyes averted slightly.
"James...we are friends, aren't we? I hope you have something to tell me..."
"Boss, I do have someone to recommend, but..."
"He may not have a high degree of education, nor did he graduate from any professional college. His previous occupation was an electrician."
"What? Electrician?" Lu Yuan was dumbfounded when he heard this.
Electrician and screenwriter.
The difference between the two professions...
It's really not a little big.
"Yes, but I guarantee that his talent is not bad. When he was in Hollywood, he participated in the screenwriting of several films, although he didn't sign it..."
"Why is there no signature?"
"Because he has no academic qualifications, no family background, and no money. He can only work as an assistant to some screenwriters. I only discovered him a few days ago..." James silently said what was in his heart. After saying it, He looked at Lu Yuan again.
After seeing that Lu Yuan was not disgusted, he breathed a sigh of relief.
after all……
Since he joined "Remote", he found that everyone in Remote is the elite of the elite, and he knows that there is a rule in "Remote", that is, only one in a million can enter.
Therefore, his little screenplay is really insignificant compared to the golden "remote" crowd.
"Well, James, sign a non-disclosure contract, and let him participate in "Death Comes"..."
"Okay!" James breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.
Then he left Lu Yuan's office excitedly with the script of "Death is Coming".
After James left, Lu Yuan looked at the sun outside the window.
Immediately, there was a feeling of full hope and full of positive energy.
He stretched again.
Continue to silently deal with various "remote" affairs.
time flies.
In the evening, James suddenly knocked on Lu Yuan's room again.
"Huh? James, what's the matter?"
"Mr. Lu, the script of "Death is Coming" is finished, can you take a look?"
"What? So fast? Wait, why are there two scripts?"
"Well, one was made by Mr. Qian Zhong, and the other was made by Lillian..."
"what?"
Lu Yuan frowned.
So soon?
Then he carefully opened the two scripts.
The more he turned, the more surprised Lu Yuan felt, and the more he felt that he might have found a treasure.
About half an hour later, when the sun was setting, Lu Yuan closed his eyes.
The two versions of "Death is Coming", both of them blended their own accidents together as written in their own outlines, and also added some original plots of their own.
and……
Compared with the original world's "Death is Coming", some of the above logics seem to be more detailed.
If the two scripts were to be compared, each had its own advantages and disadvantages, and Lu Yuan himself didn't know how to choose.
"Boss, do you think... this Lilian..."
"I want to meet her."
"She and Mr. Qian Zhong are both outside..."
"Come in."
"Ok."
……………………………
moonlight.
Qian Zhong and Lilian both left Lu Yuan's office at the same time.
The two looked at each other.
"You are very good." Qian Zhong looked at Lilian and smiled.
"Thank you." Lilian blushed slightly, then lowered her head and fiddled with the notebook in her hand.
That's the script for "Death Comes."
"Come on! Welcome to be a member of the "Remote" family, I hope you can cherish this hard-won opportunity."
"I... I will."
"Let's make a bet."
"what?"
"In the future, I will get the honor of best screenwriter faster than you."
"I..." Lilian lowered her head even lower, as if full of unconfidence, but then forcefully raised her head to look at Qian Zhong, "I bet you!"
"it is good!"
Qian Zhong turned his head, his smile remained the same, but he reminded himself that he must work harder in the future.
otherwise……
It would be a lot of fun to be thrown off by this new screenwriter.
Then he is an old man...
Wouldn't it be shameless to stay in the "remote"?
Two versions of "Death Comes"...
Mr. Lu did not choose any version, but screened the two versions to a certain extent.
Changed to Part 1 and Part 2.
Lillian's version counts as the first, and his version is the second.
First come first and above said...
Qian Zhong lost a little this time.
Of course, Qian Zhong didn't feel any discomfort, but a sense of challenge.
Been in "remote" for so long.
Qian Zhong has always wanted to prove the value of his existence.
And the honor of best screenwriter is the value.
Now, he felt that it was his dormant period for the time being.
……………………………
After looking at the direction Qian Zhong left.
Lillian clenched her fist.
He looked back at Lu Yuan's office in the distance.
This is where the dream begins.
Three years!
Three years ago, since she watched "Buried Alive", she suddenly had a brand in her heart.
I didn't expect that the script could be written like this...
Then……
She has made a decision.
She wants to be a screenwriter, a very good screenwriter.
It's a pity that everyone is laughing at her incompetence.
In the past three years, she has indeed experienced a lot of ridicule and a lot of contempt and unfair treatment.
Even, she tried to write a lot of original scripts, but all of these scripts fell into the sea.
After all, Hollywood is a place where there is no shortage of screenwriters, and they all talk about qualifications.
Maxima, Bole?
How could there be.
When she felt that she would go on like this for the rest of her life without any hope, she met James.
James told her that Mr. Lu was going to give her a chance.
Let her take advantage of this opportunity!
Then……
Everything that followed seemed like a dream.
Mr. Lu met her and chatted with her about the script.
After asking...
Mr. Lu stood up and formally invited her to join the company.
then……
She almost cried.
……………………………
Lu Yuan silently read the two scripts of "Death Comes" again.
Until now, he still has some surprises in his heart.
"Boss, thank you."
"no need thank me?"
"Thank you for opening a back door!" James was inexplicably grateful.
"James..."
"Ok."
"We are friends...don't talk about this, you will be out of touch if you say this."
In fact...
To Lu Yuan, Lilian's appearance seemed to be giving him a pillow when he fell asleep.
Thinking of the details about some other scripts that I asked before, after Lilian was able to make up for them mellowly, Lu Yuan was very satisfied!
He is sure!
Indeed, I found a treasure!
……………………………
When James and Lu Yuan finalized about 15 million US dollars to invest in "Reaper" and confirmed the approximate shooting date, James finally left the office satisfied.
Andorra's superhero universe is getting ready.
And similarly, his horror universe is also laying the groundwork...
James believes that in the near future, his boss will usher in an era of horror movies.
And he...
He will become the leader of this era of horror movies!
In his hands, various types of horror films will be born.
Walk out of the house and look at the sky full of stars.
James has a great sense of accomplishment.
After finishing "Death is Coming", Lu Yuan rubbed his head and was about to take a good rest, but unfortunately the knock on the door rang again.
"Come in."
Lu Yuan looked up.
I saw a girl pushing the door and entering.
"Mr. Lu Yuan, good evening."
"Ah? It's Miss Vivian, Miss Vivian, what are you..."
"There are three things to find you, one is that I resigned, the other is that I hope to join your company, and the third is that two days after the Grammy, your female partner has been arranged Is it? If there is no arrangement, I would like to be your female companion..."
"what?"
…………………………………
"Mr. Foster, congratulations, your 40 Guinness record certifications have begun... Are you sure you want to apply for these things, such as, the person with the most spoons hanging from his mouth in the world, the person with the most plates served at one time in the world , and the certification record of the person who blinks the most in one second?"
"yes!"
"Are you sure you want to be the person who has won the most Guinness records in the world?"
"yes!"
"Okay, in the next year, we will start tracking the 40 applications you submitted...Here, we sincerely wish you can break the record!"
"thanks!"
Morning.
A young man wearing a baseball cap walked into the Guinness World Records certification office.
The youth submitted his identity information and some authentication information.
After submitting, he breathed a sigh of relief.
but……
Not long after he walked out of the certification center, he received another call.
"Sorry...Mr. Foster, if you want to hit the Guinness record for the most Guinness records, then you need to make ten more applications!"
"Why? The previous thirty items were not..."
"Oh, we have added some Guinness World Records here. Originally there were 30 records, but now there are 40. If it is confirmed that he will attend this year's Grammy and win the Song of the Year Award, Then I'm afraid the Guinness Book of Records will increase to forty-five...so..."
"what!"
After answering the phone, the young man named Foster's eyes widened.
This……
What does it mean?
