Chapter 1119: First Draft of the Script
The director patted his chest and agreed. It's not that he blows, if they can't do what the boss wants, other companies will be even worse. And he also knows what the boss wants to do, the news in the newspaper about her going to make a movie that breaks the box office record of "Avatar" is still going over and over every day, and he knows with his knees that the boss's killer feature this time is on them.
Although most of the special effects in Avatar were not done by them, their job was to add some effects to those special effects. But in any case, the fact that the movie can break through 3 billion has something to do with them. If you help the boss get the No. 1 box office position in film history this time, their company's position in Hollywood and even the world will be secure!
The world's No. 1 special effects company! It's exciting to think about, isn't it?
Lyla left happily after getting an answer that satisfied her. This is just a simple inquiry, and there is more work to come. The air carrier also needs to find a special person to complete the design, and the alien images that will appear in the movie, those huge monsters shuttling between high-rise buildings, all need to be designed by professionals after combining Leila's description.
She is ready to work on special effects while making movies as before. It's certainly a lot more demanding of her, but she thinks it's worth it. Because the movie she really wants to make will be made this year no matter what, Zhang Guorong's schedule doesn't know if it will be available again next year, and it will be delayed a lot if she really misses the time. She really doesn't want to waste her time waiting, so no matter what, she has to shoot the movie before the end of the year!
The filming time of "The Avengers" is tentatively scheduled for a month later, and with the situation that she doesn't even have a script now, a month is really a particularly tight time. Her advantage is to know which parts of the original movie are most liked by the audience, sublimate the favorite parts, and remove the boring places.
She definitely had to grasp the rhythm accurately this time, so that the audience would feel a burst of excitement every few minutes. It is also necessary to make all the moviegoers want to stick their butts to the chairs, and not give them time to leave their seats to go to the bathroom, or go out to buy popcorn, and not even give them time to watch the time!
This is Leila's plan, and it is also the guarantee that she will get the first box office in film history.
In fact, a special effects-based script like this doesn't take too long to write. In just two days, Leila wrote the first draft.
Roy was her first reader, and he has also participated in many films over the years, so he is familiar with the script. He may not be able to tell if a script can make money, but he knows very well that it is not a good script. Leila's new script is very good, and it makes him feel that if it is filmed, it must be exciting.
"I really want to see what you have in your head, why do you always do things that others can't do?" After reading the script, Roy couldn't help but let out a sigh of emotion.
Leila smiled wryly, in fact, this script is the script of the original movie. The reason why she wrote it down was to overhaul the script and make it change from a box office of 1.5 billion to more than 3 billion. This is definitely a "major surgery", and she herself will find it a little tricky when it comes to modifying it.
The box office result of 3 billion is terrible, 300 million more than the original "Avatar". If it weren't for the previous "Lord of the Rings" that gave her a lot of confidence in herself, she wouldn't dare to say it casually this time.
At the beginning, the script of the Lord of the Rings was written by herself, which is very different from the original, and if you have watched both versions, you may think that the two movies are the upper and lower episodes of the TV series, and the focus is different.
But even the script that was rewritten by her was shot very successfully, and the box office was hundreds of millions higher than the original. In terms of special effects, she must have taken advantage of some advantages, but the most important thing is that her ability to adapt the script can really be said to be superb.
"What do you think needs to be changed?" she said for Roy's opinion.
"Revised, why do you have to revise?" Roy asked puzzledly, "Isn't this a very mature script?" If he hadn't known that she had been locking herself in her study for the past two days to write the script, he would have thought that she had written it before. No modification required at all, okay?
Leila shook her head: "It's not enough. I don't want a good script, but a script that can make the box office exceed 3 billion. Believe me, if this script is filmed, it will cost more than a billion at most. ”
The corners of Roy's mouth twitched, more than a billion can't get into her eyes? Just change any film company, let alone a billion, hundreds of millions, or even tens of millions of box office is enough for them to spend a lot of money to shoot the script. Look at her again, the export is "that is, more than a billion......
If he didn't love her too much, he promised to complain about it.
"A billion is already a lot. That's all he can say.
Leila scratched her hair a little irritably: "I know a billion is a lot, but it's still too far from my goal." She spread out the script and found the place where she had marked: "I think some changes can be made here, how about adding some contradictions between superheroes?"
Roy looked at where she pointed: "If the contradiction is too big, will it become a disagreement in the future?"
"Each of their superheroes has their own arrogance, and they certainly don't get along as well as ordinary people. I think add a little bit of their conflict and then let them twist together because of something. ”
"Makes sense. Roy accepted her idea: "And who do you want to have conflict with whom?"
Laila thought for a while: "Captain America and Iron Man, one of them is the old school, the other is the new school, and it must be interesting to have a conflict." ”
"That being said, there should also be a conceptual impact between the mythical Thor and the Hulk. ”
"That's right!" Layla burst into inspiration at Roy's prompt, and her eyebrows suddenly danced: "And Black Widow is also a very interesting character, I want to add a few more scenes to her." As the only woman who appears in it, how can she do it if she doesn't have the ability to do it?"
Thinking that Black Widow did a good job in the original, she wanted to make it a little more difficult for her. There must be action fighting scenes, but the fights in the original version are weak in the eyes of her, a person with an oriental soul. If you want to say that you can play well, it must be Oriental kung fu!
