Chapter 1072 - A Classic of Classics
There wasn't much time on the road, just enough for her to see what she saw. But after picking scripts for so many years, she still has the necessary ability to distinguish. Just by the content she picked and saw, she was convinced that it was a good movie worth participating in.
"The film that Leila wants to make definitely has something unique about it. Zhang Guorong thought of that special girl, and the corners of his lips were slightly raised, revealing a faint smile.
If Leila sees this scene, she will definitely praise Lang Yan for being unique, and there is no other in the world.
"Yes! Hollywood has only produced one her in so many years. Afraid that he would refuse, Chen Shufen hurriedly talked about the benefits of more scripts.
"Not to mention anything else, her vision for picking scripts is absolutely unparalleled. I asked a friend in the United States, and I heard that Moran was very optimistic about this script! Do you remember when she was kidnapped when she went to South Africa to film "Blood Diamond"? It was the black boss there who asked her to make a movie for herself, and she found such a script. As a result, she really took a fancy to her, and when she returned to the United States, she also brought the screenwriter to Hollywood. ”
This matter has spread widely in the West, and after all, there is an Atlantic Ocean in the East, and there are not so many people who know about it. But the legendary effect of this incident itself is very eye-catching, and if you really want to shoot it for publicity, the topicality of the script itself can be taken out and hyped up a few times.
Even if you don't look at Moran as a director, just watch such a good script, it is definitely worth taking the role.
Zhang Guorong nodded slightly, not overjoyed or ecstatic by her, still looking indifferent.
He really likes the director Leila, who has no frame and is very good at making movies.
If she asked him for a cameo role, he wouldn't refuse. Not for the characters, but for the camaraderie between friends.
However, she is obviously in contact with him in a more formal way now, which means that the script in his hand at this time means a lot to her, and the characters in it are also very important. That's why she doesn't play the emotional card, but lets him make his own choice.
Although as a friend, such an exchange is a bit blunt. If you are an Oriental, you will definitely use a more tactful and intimate way to discuss the question of whether or not to take on the role. But he doesn't hate this kind of bluntness, and in another way, isn't it a kind of respect for him?
He didn't speak, but turned the page open.
At this time, the script has changed drastically from the one that Lyra got at the beginning.
First of all, the frame rhythm has become more in line with the audience's preferences, and secondly, she has also made a lot of changes to the storyline, deleting some redundant and unnecessary places, adding some contradictions, conflicts, and places that can make the script more profound.
Generally speaking, after a script is bought out, the original playwright will no longer be involved in the adaptation of the script if he is not invited. No matter what the script is changed to in the end, it basically has nothing to do with him, at most, when the script is nominated, he will be invited to the stage as the first author of the script to accept the award.
Leila didn't do that, she wanted to take this opportunity to see Buddy's potential. Find out if he used all his inspiration in this script, or if his brain can still be opened up and bring more quality to the world.
And the result made her very satisfied, because when the two discussed the adaptation, Buddy was always able to give more suitable changes when she reminded her. For example, she will tell him that a certain part is not good, a certain dialogue will make the audience bored, and it will not have any effect on the plot, it is better to show it with a light-hearted little joke or small action. Buddy can then create the plot she wants to appear according to her needs.
Such cooperation is undoubtedly very pleasant.
Leila knows that she is not an Oscar-level original script writer, she is better at adaptation, and Buddy's appearance is like the most suitable partner sent to her by God, so that she can make drastic adaptations of the script like a fish in water. Because no matter what she thinks, he can keep up with her steps and work together to create a more exciting plot.
So what was sent to Zhang Guorong at this time can basically be said to be the final draft, and the excitement of the content is definitely worth recalling.
Chen Shufen was waiting for him to read the script, and seeing that he was turning the pages unhurriedly, she wanted to help him turn the script, so that he could turn it faster.
Time didn't seem to flow at the same speed as her, and on her side it was a waterfall of catharsis, and she didn't hesitate to go straight ahead. But on him it slowed down a lot, and the brook flowed like a stream, as if he was reluctant to leave traces of the passage of time on him.
She was anxious, but she was reluctant to interrupt him, so she could only hold a cup of tea sent over, thinking about Leila Moran, thinking about Hollywood, thinking about the Golden Globe Awards, the Oscars, and thinking that one day her "brother" could walk on the gorgeous stage and become the first Oriental to win an important award in the West.
The script of a movie is actually not too thick, and if you go to watch it, an hour or two is more than enough.
But Zhang Guorong used it all day as soon as he saw it.
And he didn't just look at it cursoryly, to be exact, he watched it four or five times.
After reading it for the first time, he didn't say whether he wanted to take the script, nor did he let Chen Shufen continue to wait, but promised to give her an answer tomorrow.
So, a second time, a third time......
He forgot to eat, he forgot to rest, and the whole person was immersed in the script. If Chen Shufen saw that kind of crazy appearance, she would probably be scared and dragged him to the hospital, for fear that his depression would happen again.
But he was genuinely drawn to the script.
This is a very in-depth script, with ethnic contradictions, emotional contradictions, psychological struggles, and criticism of human nature. Strictly speaking, if the director is willing, he can make the film in the atmosphere of "The Shawshank Redemption".
But Leila didn't do that, she chose to tell the story from a more lighter lightheart. This can be seen from the emotional changes between the two protagonists, as well as the interaction.
The most shocking thing about the story should be the ending, even if I watched it four or five times, the final ending still made his chest feel stuffy, and he had the urge to roar and vent. is also because of the ending, which makes the whole movie from an adventurous and funny action movie to a thought-provoking classic. I believe that with Moran's profound directing skills, this script will become a classic among classics!
