At the beginning of April, Lianyi Film Company released a movie.

The screenwriter is Yin Jun, starring Dass Dinghoffman, and a child from Xiangjiang.

Although there are children starring, this movie, called "The Sixth Sense", is not recommended for young people under the age of 18.

In the past two years, the film market in the United States has still formed a "Yin Jun film effect" like Xiangjiang.

Any movie written and directed by Yin Jun must be very popular in the United States, and many people will go to the cinema to donate movie tickets when they look at Yin Jun's name.

The first three days of "The Sixth Sense" are such a lively scene.

The three-day box office over the weekend reported $25 million, which is enough for this kind of movie that is not a family carnival and is not a commercial action movie.

And the biggest highlight of "The Sixth Sense" is not the box office, but word-of-mouth.

Whether it is the audience who has watched it or the group of film critics, they all praise "The Sixth Sense".

Everyone praised this movie as a rare masterpiece, the plot twists and turns, a glimmer of light revealed in the darkness, full of exploration of human nature, very intriguing.

Das ordered Hoffman's performance to be in full swing, and he was fully worthy of being selected for an Oscar this year to compete for another statuette.

The little boy of Chinese descent also performed very well, the panic and maturity revealed in the ignorance and simplicity, as well as the process change from giving up to persevering, are just right and very expressive.

Many people who have Wenqing plots have watched it twice in the past three days, and they are still unsatisfied and want to watch it again.

Yin Jun also went to see one.

He didn't go alone, he took a young man in his twenties with him.

The young man's name was Chris Columbus, and he was a screenwriter in the film division of the Disney Company.

In January of this year, "Little Monster" written by him was released in North America, with a production cost of 15 million and a publicity cost of 5 million, and a good box office of more than 60 million US dollars.

Coupled with the rights sold to Europe, as well as the income from videotapes, "Little Devil" is expected to bring about 40 million pre-tax profits to Disney.

That's a very good result for a company.

But no matter how much attention he received, Columbus never thought that he would be called by the big boss to watch a movie together.

No matter what kind of mentality Yin Jun has, this in itself represents a meaning of great importance and investigation.

So when watching "The Sixth Sense", Columbus couldn't take his eyes off it, desperately thinking about the meaning contained in it.

After watching the movie, Yin Jun sat in a café with him.

Just had time to take two sips of coffee, Yin Jun asked Columbus, "What do you think of Cole?"

Cole is the little boy with yin and yang eyes in the movie, which is the character played by Gu Tianle.

Columbus is also a smart person, he already knew that Gu Tianle was Yin Jun's insistence on using it in "The Sixth Sense", and Darth ordered Hoffman to partner with him.

For this reason, many people in Disney are a little disappointed, because Disney is the best at promoting this kind of teenage idol, if it is replaced by an American boy, then it will be a good thing for Disney's future operation.

It's a pity that Yin Jun was very persistent and didn't discuss at all.

So when Columbus watched the movie, he focused on Gu Tianle's performance.

"He's very aura. Columbus recalled, "Not only can his movements and expressions express meaning, but there is also a light in his eyes, which can let you know without saying a word, his mood changes, and the change in the storyline...... It is not easy for such a small actor to do this! The success of this movie also has a lot to do with him!"

Yin Jun laughed, "If he hears your praise, he will his tail!"

Columbus also smiled gently: "It's not just me who praises him, in the newspapers these days, everyone praises him, in the face of a superstar like Dass Hoffman, he can also play his acting skills without hurry, that is amazing!"

Nodding, the boy said, "So how about you collaborate with him on a movie?"

"Me!?"

Columbus was surprised, "You mean, I made a movie for him?"

"It's not. Yin Jun said lightly, "I have a script, Gu Tianle is the protagonist, you are responsible for cooperating with him to shoot it." ”

Columbus: "......"

His eyes were frozen for a moment, and his mind was in confusion, and he didn't know how to speak.

I'm filming?

I'm a director!?

And it's a script written by the boss himself??

This...... It's not a dream, is it?

It was clear that Columbus was stunned by the cake falling from the sky, and he was completely overwhelmed.

Naturally, he wouldn't know that the movie that Yin Jun wanted to give him was his world-famous work.

It was also because of the success of this movie that he was discovered by Warner, and finally served as the director of the first two episodes of "Harry Potter", which is known as the most profitable project in Warner's history.

Yes.

Yin Jun wants to give him the movie

Called

Home Alone.

This American comedy, which Chinese people have been exposed to for a long time, is also a comedy with a super good reputation, and it is also a comedy that has set a box office record for family comedies for decades.

After Macaulay Culkin, there are almost no such aura young actors in Hollywood, and there has never been such a family comedy that can make everyone laugh purely by plot.

Even 20 years after its filming, Hollywood voted the best comedy in the United States, and "Home Alone" still deserved to be the first, far surpassing other movies.

So it's a super classic.

Such a classic, Yin Jun naturally can't let it go.

And the boy had already decided that he would hand it over to Gu Tianle to play in order to achieve Gu Tianle's superstar career.

Maybe Gu Tianle is not as eccentric and aura as Culkin, but his basic conditions are still very good, and after such a long time of training, the feeling that Yin Jun needs to perform is not a problem.

As for saying that "Home Alone" has no Culkin, will it not be as classic as in its previous life......

Yin Jun said that it is not that important.

The development of the storyline and the director's use of techniques are all important factors in the success of a movie, and Gu Tianle can at least have a score of 80 points from Culkin, so it is more than enough.

Anyway, in this world, except for Yin Jun, no one has seen Culkin's version, and they naturally don't know what the most classic version is.

In order to make Gu Zai popular, Yin Jun could only take out "Home Alone" a few years in advance.

Because Gu Tianle has now turned 13 years old, and will turn 14 in October.

If you don't do "Home Alone", this drama can really only be left to Culkin.

Asians are generally a little shorter than Westerners, but Koo is now around 150 centimeters, a little taller than Culkin when he was 10 years old.

For this, Yin Jun could only revise the script so that the age of the protagonist Kevin reached 10 years old.

Because Gu Tianle is Chinese, Yin Jun also changed the script to This is a second-generation Chinese immigrant family.

Then let little Kevin's family be taller, including the two stupid thieves, and they should also be taller, so as to bring out Gu Tianle's cuteness.

Compared with the experienced Gu Tianle, the director of Columbus in the previous life is still younger.

came to shoot this movie 7 years in advance, and Yin Jun was still a little worried in his heart, so he asked him to come and see the movie and discuss it by the way.

Columbus deserved to be one of the best happy comedy directors in Hollywood in the future, but after a moment of confusion, he came to his senses.

At the same time, Columbus's mind kept spinning, hoping to find a way to perform in his favor, so that Yin Jun could really give this matter a decision.

Are you kidding!

Even if he doesn't have any directing experience, is Yin Jun's book so easy to encounter?

If you miss it, it's basically gone!

So you have to kill it!

However, the script is not so easy to pick up.

Once you make a mistake and don't get the expected results, then your Hollywood career in this life can basically be declared invalid.

It's not that you can't work in Hollywood, at least it's okay to be a screenwriter.

But from now on, I'm afraid no one will dare to call themselves directors anymore - you can even mess up Yin Jun's book, what other films can you shoot well?

Only a super director has a chance to fail in three movies, an ordinary director, one is enough, not to mention Yin Jun's book!

So, after a moment of euphoria, Columbus quickly calmed down.

"If I'm going to make this movie, I'd like to read the script and talk about it. Columbus thought about it for a long time, but decided to speak truthfully, "I'm good at children's and family-themed comedy scripts, so I should be familiar with this aspect." But with a movie as deep as "The Sixth Sense", I may not be able to do it. ”

"Don't worry, I've read a few of your scripts, including Little Devil. Yin Jun smiled, "The script I gave you is suitable for your characteristics, otherwise how could I hand over a complex movie to a newcomer like you?"

"Really?" Columbus said, surprised, "That's great! When will I see the script?"

Yin Jun beckoned, and the bodyguard next to him handed over a briefcase, "Take it back and think about it, I'm very optimistic about your ability, I hope you can do a good job!"

Is this already appointing me as a director?

I don't even plan to dare to take it!

I thought so, but in the face of such a good opportunity to become famous, Columbus still took the briefcase with trembling hands, "Boss, I, I'm a little stressed!"

"When I made my first film, when Steven Spielberg made my first film, when George Lucas made my first movie, I was just like you. Yin Jun looked at him and said, "Why can we do it, but you can't? What's more, your current conditions are much better than others! Disney will fully support you, you just need to be responsible for making the movie well!"

"Then I'll give it a try!" Columbus saw that Yin Jun had said this, and he couldn't refuse, so he could only agree to it.

"There weren't any special effects shots in this film, and it wasn't difficult to shoot. Yin Jun continued, "I hope you can finish filming in September, finish editing in October, and release it on Christmas Day in December." ”

"Okay, I'll do my best!"

Columbus didn't find this harsh.

Hollywood makes a movie, and it's all based on genre.

If it really seems to be the movie category that Yin Jun said, then 2 months of filming is considered a long time, and the post-production can be completed in almost 1 month.

gave himself such a long time, and he must have taken care of his first filming and made himself fully prepared.

Thinking of this made Columbus a little more confident.

What is the content of this script in your hand?

Columbus's heart was full of anticipation.
