Chapter 680: In France (8)

Over the years, a picture has come to Honoré's mind from time to time.

That's the sketch that Luo Kai drew by hand.

This is not a simple drawing, it represents a movie script, a story about the silent killer and the vengeful Lori.

This painting by Rokai was cherished by Baptiste, as a testimony to the cooperation between the two sides, Honoré actually liked it, and if he asked Baptiste for it, Baptiste would definitely give him this face.

It's just that Honoré didn't ask for it, but the content of the picture was firmly engraved in his heart.

Then it is often remembered, and sometimes even appears in dreams.

He felt that Luo Kai's story was tailor-made for himself, and although such an idea was incredible, his intuition was like this.

As the number one actor under Senna Films, Baptiste's confidant, Honoré's current position in the circle is actually quite embarrassing.

He is unwilling to continue to mix in the circle of literary films, and has shot many commercial films in recent years, and went to Hollywood to work hard, but he has not achieved anything, nor has he carved out his own sky in Hollywood.

In desperation, Honoré had no choice but to return to France.

Although Senna Films' support for him has not changed, due to the limitations of European cinema, it is difficult for Honoré to realize his wishes.

He desperately needs a movie with a good reputation and box office to prove himself, and he is also looking for it!

And then Luo Kai came.

Here comes a story for him, which is the movie script he now has in his hand.

The name of the film is: Léon.

The content of the script was written in English, and Luo Kai used his free time to type it out, and it took more than ten days to go back and forth, which can be said to have taken a lot of thought.

The story is set in the slums of New York, starting with a professional killer named Leon, who has superb assassination skills, ruthless and ruthless, but lives a very simple and regular life.

One day, Matilda, a neighbor's girl, knocked on his door and asked him to take a break from murder, because her father was punished by the evil policeman Stanfield for embezzling drugs, and the whole family was killed.

Matilda survives thanks to Leon's rescue, and the two begin a wonderful life together, with Matilda helping Leon manage the household and teaching him to read, while Leon teaches the girl how to use a gun, and the two get along. And there is also a wonderful chemistry between them...

However, Matilda never forgot her revenge, because her beloved brother died at the hands of Stanfield, and she followed him to get revenge, but was accidentally caught.

Leon arrives just in time to rescue the girl, and they move again, but the police come to the door again, and the two's residence is surrounded by heavily armed SWAT groups, unable to escape like caged birds.

At the critical moment, Leon showed his wits by helping Matilda escape through the ventilation duct and then disguised himself as a SWAT officer, but when he was about to win his freedom, Stanfield appeared behind him and pointed his gun at his back...

The script, which was still a first draft, was read by Honoré so carefully that he read it word by word, so much so that he ignored the hot cocoa that the waiter had brought him, who loved to have a cup of hot cocoa after his meal.

The story of Leon and Matilda deeply touched Honoré.

There was a voice in his heart shouting, this is the role he wants, the movie he wants to make!

But the introverted Honoré controlled the turmoil in his heart, put the finished script on the table, and said in his deep voice: "Very good story. ”

Luo Kai smiled and said: "But it's not perfect, I only finished the first draft, and the details need to be filled in and corrected by your screenwriters, so I won't participate anymore." ”

"Léon" is part of a partnership agreement between Dream Media and Senna Films, which was originally not available, but appeared because of Luo Kai, and then became a bargaining chip.

Luo Kai liked the story very much, but "Léon" was obviously not suitable for localization, even if it was set in Xiangjiang, and the character of the protagonist did not match him.

He gave Léon to Senna Films, first of all, because of Honoré, a taciturn Frenchman who bears at least seven points of resemblance to the actor of the original Léon, which brings back memories to him.

And then the original is a French film, and if it is taken out and cooperated with Senna Films, it will undoubtedly kill two birds with one stone and produce a win-win result.

All Luo Kai had to do was write the story.

Honoré was a little surprised: "This is your story!"

"I don't have much time..."

Luo Kai explained: "I think the writers at Senna Film will definitely be able to perfect it, but there is one thing I have to remind you of, and that is the relationship between the male and female protagonists in the story. ”

He paused, and Honoré listened intently.

"This feeling..."

Luo Kai continued: "If you let the director of a literary film direct, it will definitely make a strong portrayal in the taboo field, but this will cause the film to lose the market in the United States and on our side. ”

Honoré's eyes flashed with deep thought, and he couldn't help but nod.

Of course, he is very aware of the urine of European directors who love literary films, and knows what kind of content this script will produce if it falls into the hands of a European director.

"So my suggestion is..."

Luo Kai said: "Find a director who is familiar with the rules of commercial films to complete it. ”

Honoré couldn't help but ask, "Why not you?"

Honoré has already witnessed Luo Kai's ability to direct, and since this story was written by Luo Kai, wouldn't it be the most appropriate for him to direct?

Luo Kai smiled, "As I said, I don't have much time. ”

According to the previous agreement, if the script is approved by Senna Films, Dream Media and Early Summer Culture will participate in the investment, but the filming and production will be completed by Senna Pictures.

Luo Kai didn't plan to participate in the actual filming, this time in order to shoot "Across the Seas", he had to be separated from Niuniu for a month, and he didn't want to repeat this experience.

If he is in charge of directing "Léon", he will not see Niu Niu for a longer time.

For fame, fortune and honor, today's Luo Kai no longer cares.

"That's a shame..."

Honoré shrugged his shoulders, he picked up the script again, and said sincerely: "Your opinion is very important, and I will definitely persuade Mr. Baptiste to complete this work according to your wishes!"

"I really hope it will appear on the screen of the United States and your China!"

Luo Kai smiled: "This is also what I want." ”

After this dinner, Honoré personally drove Rokai and Moran back to the hotel.
