At this table, what Zhang Chu can do is to rearrange the story of "Life of Pi" with them, and the visual arts will not help in any way.

What everyone wants to see must be the exciting scene of Pi drifting on the sea, not the life in India, which will definitely be compressed.

But in order to show the theme of the whole movie, so as not to make it a superficial adventure movie, this part of the time must not be too little, otherwise the later theme will not be sublimated!

Originally, when Zhang Chu wrote it, he referred to the original book and the movie, so at this time, it was very simple to analyze the specific plot which should be retained.

Each book has its own unique landscape, and it can be fun and difficult to determine which of the books to make into the film and which ones to stay.

Many book lovers are frustrated, believing that their favorite works have been cut by the director, and the screenwriter has ruined them in a commercial way.

How to shoot this kind of completely single-line, no character conflict, only one person and how a tiger gets along at sea with relish, that is what director Li Yu should consider!

Even if Zhang Chu takes out the script as it is now, the final result of the film cannot be exactly the same as the movie on the earth, there are too many variables.

Just like a script is always just a script, there will be changes when filming and editing.

David Markey asked, "We're sure we're going to keep this subversive ending, right?"

"Of course, that's the most impressive part. "David Nate makes a straightforward decision, and sometimes a simple plot can subvert the entire previous work and sublimate it to a good work.

Zhang Chu jokingly said at this time: "With the second story in the last ten minutes, I'm afraid many audiences will be willing to enter the theater again." ”

Indeed, after hearing the second cruel story told by Youth Pi, many people will seriously think about the foreshadowing details left in front of them, and sometimes if they can't remember clearly, they simply buy another ticket to go in and watch it again!

"That's the effect I wanted, to get them all to go to the cinema, it's not enough to see it once, it's going to be seen twice!"

Li Yu, Zhang Chu and others all laughed, only by attracting the audience into the cinema can the task be considered to have been completed.

David Nate pointed to a nearby studio and said, "Guys, I have another film that I'm a co-producer on now, and I'm going to have to go over and see what happens." David, you first write out the outline of the new script according to Zhang's proposal, and tomorrow we will see the effect and then work with the rest of the screenwriters to write the detailed content. Zhang, there's a party tonight, you should come over and see what real Hollywood looks like. ”

"I'm looking forward to it. ”

"Frank will tell you the schedule in detail, and then you should consider writing more English. After Davy finished speaking, he turned and left, leaving a few people sitting in the conference room and chatting.

Li Yan admonished in Chinese: "There are a lot of Hollywood celebrities at tonight's party, maybe you should go and prepare a suit, and don't promise others anything casually, but also pay attention to what others hand over, sometimes everyone will be more chaotic." ”

If it weren't for the relationship between compatriots, if it weren't for the fact that Zhang Chu was only 20 years old, Li Yan would never talk much, he didn't want a promising writer to be entangled in Hollywood vices.

Zhang Chu nodded and said, "Thank you, Uncle Eucalyptus, I will pay attention to these." ”

He doesn't lack self-control, it's nothing more than a poison factor here!

"Then we'll see you tomorrow and hope you have a great time in Los Angeles. Chubby screenwriter David Markey also stood up, and he walked a bit like a penguin.

Hollywood's scripts are not written by a screenwriter, but by a screenwriting team, but most people do not have the right to sign their names, and now Zhang Chu is allowed to sign because he is the author of the original book and has a global box office dividend, and it is also the one at the end.

How many people who have been screenwriters in Hollywood all their lives can't write their names in big productions, but Zhang Chu, a newborn calf, came to the producer class with a 0.5% global box office dividend, so even if the rest of the people are reluctant, it's useless.

Even David Markey, who has been nominated for an Oscar for screenwriting, cannot enjoy the same treatment as Zhang Chu in terms of box office dividends, and the importance of this right of authorship is extraordinary, and it will be recorded in detail on IMDB.

If "Youth Pi" is nominated for scripts at various film awards, Zhang Chu is also eligible to take the stage to win the award!

……

When it was close to noon, Zhang Chu thought that he would have a meal with them, but it seemed that he was going to act alone, but it was better and uncomfortable.

After Zhou Yun looked at the time on his watch, he asked, "Mr. Zhang, what kind of food do you like?"

"Anything, I'm not a picky eater. ”

"Then I recommend you try the Hungry-Cat restaurant, which works with divers to serve seafood that the divers catch themselves. ”

Zhang Chu nodded seriously and thought about it, but he really wanted to try how American seafood is made, so he said, "Then book a place first, beautiful lady, would you like to have lunch with me?"

This invitation doesn't have any glamorous ingredients, and Zhang Chu doesn't want to soak her, just because he thinks it's not good for him to eat food alone, so he can't let a special guide and temporary assistant go to eat next to him, right?

What's more, it seems a little awkward to sit there alone, so just call Frank again!

Anyway, he doesn't lack this money, which can make them work more attentively.

"If I knew you were going to have a treat, I should have said a Michelin-starred restaurant, but now I regret it a little. Zhou Yun said jokingly.

The restaurant in the center of Sunset Boulevard and Vine Street looks a little cozy, and there are already a lot of customers sitting in it at this time.

When Zhang Chu and his party arrived, the waiters were busy serving.

"This Maine lobster roll is a specialty here, and it's almost popular in Los Angeles, and it's very popular. Zhou Yun turned into a gourmand and began to comment, "Some dishes in the restaurant will change with the change of seasons, but it always stays on the order menu. ”

Zhang Chu looked at the Internet celebrity dish in front of him, and curiously forked it with a fork, and the sweet lobster meat was filled with chopped shallots, chopped celery, salt, pepper, oyster leaves, aioli, and lemon juice.

The delicious fluffy brioche bread is sandwiched with flavorful lobster meat and topped with a thick layer of butter, giving you the taste of the sun and the sea in your mouth!

The large pieces of lobster meat meet the taste of carnivore Zhang Chu, and he praised: "It tastes really good." ”

The Spanish sausage stewed with clams, scallops and french offal is quite impressive, and the pug burger also has a unique flavor.

Overall, the taste is very worthy of the price, Zhang Chu pondered, in the future, he should look for the food in Los Angeles, so as not to waste his journey to the United States!
