Chapter 348: The Script of Cooperation
After Cao Han and Jiang Ying went to Los Angeles, Xu Yang also took charge of Dream Entertainment, and of course, Xu Wan'er also started her official work.
Her work was arranged by Zhao Huanhuan.
And Xu Yang himself was in the office, and began to think about what kind of scripts should be written for those entertainment giant companies?
After thinking about it for a long time, he decided on the first script, which was the famous movie "Forrest Gump", which has won many Golden Globe Awards and multiple Oscars in the Earth World.
The big frame of the script is this: Forrest Gump is an imbecile with an IQ of only 75. At school, in order to avoid the bullying of other children, he listened to the words of a friend Jenny and began to "run". He ran to avoid the teasing of others. In middle school, he ran into a school football field to avoid others, and thus ran into college. Forrest Gump was exceptionally admitted and became a football superstar, and was received by the president of the United States.
After graduating from university, Forrest Gump enlisted in the army and went to Vietnam. There, he made two friends: Bubba, who was a keen shrimp fisher, and Lieutenant Dun Taylor, the formidable commander. By this time, Jenny had fallen and was living a debauched life.
Forrest Gump has always loved Jenny, but Jenny doesn't love him. After the end of the war, Forrest Gump was received by the president of the United States as a hero. At a peace rally, Forrest Gump meets Jenny again, and the two meet in a hurry and break up in a hurry.
Guided by the credo of "doing what he says", Forrest Gump finally broke out of his own sky. During his life, he met many American celebrities. He denounced the wiretappers of the Watergate scandal and went to China as a member of the U.S. table tennis team, making contributions to the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the United States.
Elvis Presley and John Lennon, two superstars in music, also wrote many popular songs through their association with him.
Eventually, Forrest Gump became an entrepreneur by fishing shrimp. In memory of the deceased Bubba, he founded the Bubba Gan Company and gave half of the company's shares to Bubba's mother to become a gardener himself.
Forrest Gump has experienced various historical periods in the changing world, but no matter when, no matter where, no matter who he is with, he is still the same, simple and kind.
In his seclusion, he often missed Jenny. At this time, Jenny had already gone astray and fell into despair. Finally, one day, Jenny returned. She and Forrest Gump lived together for a while. One night, Jenny threw herself into Forrest Gump's arms, and then quietly left at dawn. Awakened, Agan sat on the bench in front of the door, and then suddenly started running. He ran across the country and became a celebrity again.
After running for a long time, Forrest Gump stopped and began to return to his hometown. On the way, a letter from Jenny was received. He immediately went to her. While waiting at a bus stop. Forrest Gump told others about his previous experiences. So he saw Jenny again, and a little boy, who was his son. By this time, Jenny had already suffered from an incurable disease. Forrest Gump and Jenny returned to their hometown together and spent a happy time together. Jenny has passed away, and their son is of school age. Forrest Gump put his son on the school bus and sat on a bench at the bus stop, reminiscing about the experience of his life.
The plot is not complicated. The reason why this film is outstanding is that it reaffirms the old moral and social subject culture, promotes the mainstream ideology of the United States in the 60s, and at the same time it denies other avant-garde new cultures.
It is precisely based on this that it can win the hearts of the people.
The shaping of Forrest Gump's image subverts the heroic image in the normal world, runs counter to traditional concepts, and has a strong anti-tradition and anti-mainstream.
What he saw, heard, said, and did was not only highly representative, but also a direct illustration of history.
This visual metaphor is evident in the script: a feather fluttering, blowing through houses and roads, and finally falling at Forrest Gump's feet, elegant but prosaic, casual and inevitable.
Forrest Gump has changed from a projection of history to a real, flesh-and-blood person. Forrest Gump is a young child who occupies the body of an adult, a sage-level fool, an ordinary person who transcends reality, and a small person who represents the national personality.
This script is a great initiative.
Therefore, even if Xu Yang can write it, the current Dream Entertainment Company will not be able to shoot it, because the scenes required in the script are too grandiose and require a lot of special effects skills. The production cycle will also be very long.
In Xu Yang's memory, the investment in this film is not very large, tens of millions of dollars, but the income it brings is that the global total box office exceeds 1 billion US dollars, according to the world's algorithm, that is, it is as fast as 9 billion Chinese coins, and with a little effort, it will also hit the threshold of 10 billion box office.
As for whether it can reach 10 billion after the release, Xu Yang is not clear, but if this script is used as a condition, I believe that those giant entertainment companies will definitely be interested.
However, that's not all. According to Cao Han's meaning, if they want to meet the conditions they expect, at least, they must also win over two entertainment giants, which also means that Xu Yang needs at least two movie scripts to be completed here.
Rubbing his head, Xu Yang had a headache.
It's not that he is reluctant to write the script, but why do he feel so aggrieved?
It's time to cater to others.
If you talk about the average billionaire, what can you do if you give up a film? What if the box office is small?
However, Xu Yang, who is in the entertainment industry and an actor, can't do this.
First, in order to shoot this movie well, many people have put in their own efforts, not to say that they can give up if they give up. Second, this is a joint investment team of investors. It's nothing if a film fails, but if this matter is not handled well, then, in the future, there will be one thing after another.
What should be done at that moment?
There's got to be a charter, don't you?
After pondering for a while, Xu Yang no longer thought about what to write in the second script, but in his computer, he began to type the script of "Forrest Gump".
It's impossible to just say it with your mouth.
As for Cao Han and Jiang Ying, what kind of conditions can be discussed, Xu Yang doesn't want to care too much, when the time comes, as long as it is not too much, and he can also help himself solve the problem of the release of the film in front of him, he will be satisfied.
