Chapter 12 Registration of Copyright

Mark saw the athletic boy named Mason walking in, he saw Mark, nodded, ordered a cup of milk tea at the counter and left.

Blake sat down after confirming that he was gone, and said, "You almost killed me?"

Mark saw their affectionate looks that day, they should be lovers, and said: "We have nothing, just a meal, and you make a fuss and seem to have a ghost in your heart." ”

Blake said: "Mason is not a good talker, I don't want him to misunderstand, thank you for the invitation, but I don't have time on Tuesday, our drama club has to rehearse stage plays." ”

Mark said: "It won't be long before we call back, and soon, I need a familiar person to guide me." ”

"I had to read the script to decide," Blake said. If this guy writes about a lot of shit, she immediately advises him to throw it in the trash can, so as not to harm the whole country, and to dispel his thoughts and avoid the drudgery.

Mark pulls out his notebook, pulls up the document, and shows it to Blake.

Blake said: "Pingguo's latest, your equipment is good, there must be many small movies in it, right?" She looked at the script written by Mark, there were no errors in the format and grammar, the language was condensed and concise, and the quality of the script was not good or bad, she couldn't see it for a while, but this is definitely not a piece of shit is certain, Blake looked at Mark in shock.

Mark said strangely, "What's the problem?"

Blake said, "Are you sure you wrote it?"

Mark said: "There's a codeword calendar on it, or do you tell me I can copy it there?"

Blake said, "But you can't even write an essay?"

Mark said: "What I like, I can invest in emotions and interests, and I can do my best, otherwise it's the opposite." ”

Blake watched and said, "Oh my God, you can actually write a script, who is kidding this?"

Mark said: "As long as you are sure that he is a dramatist, not a piece of shit, it will be 0K, you must accompany me to the screenwriters' union." ”

Blake said: "Whether you're a movie, a TV, a stage play or a talk show, it's all half, it's just a group of people listening to one person bragging and chatting." ”

Mark said without blushing or panting: "This is a movie script, imitating the style of "Twelve Angry Men". ”

Blake said: "This guy is so good at blowing, the world is in his mouth." ”

Mark said: "Zhou Wei remembered to accompany me. ”

Blake said, "0k! For the sake of you inviting me to a big meal, uh! I haven't eaten this well in a long time?"

Mark said: "You can eat so much, sooner or later you will get obesity, and then the butt and waist form a whole, and you can't distinguish the shape." ”

Blake held a firm middle finger at him.

Mark whispered, "How much should I tip?" "It's rude not to tip in a formal restaurant, and if you overpay, you'll be wronged."

Blake laughed: " In general, you should tip 10% to 15% for lunch and 15% to 20% for dinner, but if there are more than five people, there is a term called PartyOverFive, then you must tip 18%, otherwise it is rude, but usually in this case the waiter will remind you in particular, for fear that you will forget, if the tip is less, it means that you are not satisfied with the service of this restaurant, for example, if you think the dish is unpalatable, you can refuse to tip, but this situation is quite rare, if the service is particularly good, or a high-end restaurant, you have to pay a 20% tip。 ”

Jack had to take a hundred dollars out, and Blake saw that he didn't know what to do, so he said, "Put the meal money on the bill, it's about sixty dollars here, you can put a ten-dollar one on the table, press it with a cup, and the average gentleman will tip reasonably." ”

The waitress next to her was thinking, why is this little girl so beautiful with braces?

Mark came home and played with Kayla for a while before eating, and Sophia said while cutting the steak, "Donald, you should take Mark to the party and introduce some hot girls to him." ”

Donald said: "Going to a party at the fraternity is definitely not a problem, introducing the spice girls is redundant." ”

Sophia was pleasantly surprised: "Mark, you have a girlfriend." ”

Mark was a little embarrassed and said, "It's just to help me make up for my lessons." ”

Donald said, "This guy is a cool boy, and it's not easy to trick a girl into making up for his classes and homework. ”

Sophia said: "Zhou Wei has a party at home, you can ask her over." ”

Mark smiled wryly, "You all say it as if it's true. ”

David said, "If that girl can improve your academic performance, I won't object." ”

Sophia said, "How did Donald learn French? Just have a French girlfriend? They lived for a month, and the French was more authentic than the French." ”

Mark said: "It's just a make-up class, she already has a boyfriend." "Saying that classmates help make up for classes, it is more positive, but if you talk about coercion, it seems that human nature is a little dark.

The next day, Peter called Sophia and said, "Sophie, should Mark come and sign the contract or should I send it to you?"

Sophia said, "Are you sure you're publishing it?"

Peter said: "Yes, this is a very good work, it will definitely become a bestseller, our group will invest a considerable part of the resources to package and promote him, Sophie, Mark is very talented, I can't believe he is just a junior high school student." ”

Sophie said: "Mark is a slow learner, but he learns very deeply, he is a person with rich feelings and delicate feelings, he is very sensual, and he has the romantic temperament of a poet. Sophie is bragging for Mark, she treats this adopted son as her own, Mark is not afraid of danger that day, rushed out to save her, which moved her so much that her mother's love was overflowing, and she couldn't wait to give him the best, at that moment, in her eyes, Mark and Donald, Kayla are no different, they are all her children, and she will use all resources to make him grow and grow.

Peter said: "We signed a B-level contract, but we decided to seed Mark as an A-list writer, and we'll talk about the details later." ”

Sophia said, "I'll ask the assistant to pick up the contract." ”

Of course, Mark didn't know that his copy of "Twilight" would be published so quickly, and now he is going to register with Blake as a member of the Screenwriters' Guild, and the play "This Man is from Earth" has been written, and Mark registered the script as soon as possible after the successful payment became expensive, and registered the two plays "Chainsaw" and "Wedding Proud" at the same time, and wrote the main content and story outline, which are shown in the creation.

Blake was so surprised that he didn't bother, this guy was as easy as writing an essay.

Mark said, "Close your mouth, don't frighten the children!" Blake, who was wearing braces, and the nasolabial folds on his face looked quite weird and ugly.

Blake was about to punch, Mark hurriedly dodged away, and said, "Lady, reserved!" Blake looked at Mark with a completely different look, and said curiously: "Your academic performance is so poor, you can't understand grammar, and you often misspell words, how did you write this script?"

Mark said: "I know that people in the school are saying that I only grow muscles and not brains, and that men's talents are just like the second, and they will not be shown casually, and I will be shown casually, but I am a low-key person." ”

Blake said, "You wrote this script, why don't you submit it to the studio? It's a whole story, and you should try to get the investment to make it into a movie." ”

"I'm going to get the money to shoot it myself, I'm the author of this story, and I know how to restore it," Mark said. ”

Blake was even more surprised, saying, "You're going to make your own movie?"

Is there anyone with whom Mark can talk about common topics, the conversation is a little interested, and he said: "Robert Rodriguez made a "Killer Tragedy" for 7,500 US dollars, Christopher Nolan made a "Follow" for 7,000 US dollars, and I plan to make a "This Man is from Earth" for 10,000 US dollars. ”

Blake was amazed and said, "Do you want to be a director and producer? My dad worked behind the scenes for more than 20 years before he could be a director and shoot his own work, did you learn how to turn on the film?"

Mark said: "I am not a professional, I am from a professional background, I don't know how to use those professional terms and professional equipment and instruments, but I understand one thing, what kind of lens I want to tell, what kind of story I want to tell, what emotions I want to convey to the audience, and the rest, I can ask professionals to do it, and professional things are left to professional people to do, I am only engaged in creation." ”

Blake said: "If you succeed in doing this, it will make many people who have been from professional backgrounds and have struggled at the bottom of Hollywood for more than ten years before they have a chance to get ahead." ”

Mark said: "I can learn, I am willing to learn, I can do the best as long as I like to learn something, I can't write the homework given to me by Mary and Oak, I can't learn mathematics, physics and chemistry, but I have artistic talent, do I write a really good novel and want to tell you, or spread it around?"

Blake bragged this time, saying, "I'm nostalgic for Mark, who apologized before, you said that your production cost 10,000 US dollars, do you have that much money?"

10,000 U.S. dollars is also an astronomical amount for them as students, and it's not something they can just play.

Mark said, "There will be." He said this with confidence.

Blake said: "Forget that you are the young master of a rich family, a mere 10,000 yuan is a piece of cake for you." ”

Mark said: "My pocket money is only 100 US dollars a week, and I will not use the family's money, this is my own business, I will solve it in my own way." ”

Blake smiled and said, "You're very manly when you say that, my God! Mason, he's going to kill me." She hurriedly pulled Mark behind a phone booth.

Mark frowned: "We didn't do anything unseemly, we don't have to do something bad." ”

"Mason is an unreasonable man, and as a member of the Firearms Association, he prefers to use a gun to talk, and last time he shot the boy I was talking to," Blake said. ”

Mark hurriedly flashed inside, no matter how high his martial arts are, he is afraid of kitchen knives, he doesn't want to mess with people who play with guns.
