Chapter 1001: Tie a few more
"Yes, I like it very much. As long as I can see it, I will find a way to see it. The cinema, and the place to rent discs, I always go whenever I have time. ”
Leila wasn't surprised by this answer: "Your script has a great theme. But you've added a lot of American-style personal hero elements, probably to please European and American audiences, right?"
"You're right. Buddy lowered his head in embarrassment. He did have an ideal, which was to sell the script to the United States. Therefore, when modifying, I can't help but modify it in accordance with the style that Europeans and Americans like.
This direction of change does not mean that he is wrong, and it is very correct to change the content for the market. His mistake is that he doesn't know too much about Hollywood's style, or Hollywood's popular style is not quite the same as what he understands in his heart.
In Hollywood, movies are an assembly-line product. Someone draws a frame, and then a lot of people fill it in. So many movies are filmed every year, and there are countless scripts that are not filmed.
A really good script usually takes years to build, but there are so few of them that a big film production company can't afford to spend that much time waiting. That's why there was a later assembly-line way of writing scripts.
Buddy's script has a very interesting framework and some plot points worth thinking about that make Lyra shine in the eye.
It's not that she can't write scripts, but her real skill is still in directing. Give her a copy and she can adapt it very well, but her skills in the original script are worse. After all, her favorite job is still a director, not a screenwriter, if she can't love her job wholeheartedly, how can she do it well?
So she took a fancy to this script and wanted to use it to shoot her first film in the true sense.
In fact, the previous movies she made were also different from the original version. For example, "The Lord of the Rings" has a lot of classic scenes, and it is impossible to shoot every part in the trilogy. There are many parts that are different from the parts she chose for the original director.
But because of the classic nature of this book itself, even if the original plot was changed, she still made the film one of the best films in film history.
It can be seen that she has a strong strength in adapting the script, and she can also accurately grasp the rhythm of the movie, and this rhythm is a very important item for the success of the film.
Here, Layla and Buddy are having a heated discussion on revising the script, but Martin on the other side is a little worried.
Where is he going to get the tools for filming, and where is he going to find the actors?
He also asked his new recruits what kind of movies they would like to see. The answer I got was, in addition to being a beautiful woman, to have a big star.
This made him understand that Leila was not lying at this point, and it seems that if there are few stars in the movie, it will really affect the box office results.
"Where are you going to find a star to make a movie?"
The person next to him heard him talking to himself, and came over flatteringly: "It's not easy to find a big star? You can invite it! My neighbor knows a big boss, so he asked a big star in our country to endorse his products!"
He said a name, Martin had really heard of it, it was a very popular name in China. But when he heard about the money spent, he immediately became angry.
"So much money, why didn't she grab it!"
He took out almost all his savings, and it was impossible for him to come up with the same price to hire actors.
"Flender, you have a lot of ideas, what can you do?" At this time, he could only count on his brains.
Flender, as usual, narrowed his eyes without the slightest fluctuation: "Didn't our big director come here with the crew? There should be enough big stars in the crew, right?"
"That's right!" Martin slapped his thigh. Why didn't he think of it? If he could tie up a director, why couldn't he tie up a few more stars?
But soon, he frowned again: "Now the guards over there are very strict, and I heard that the army has also sent a lot of people, I'm afraid it can't be so simple to tie people up." ”
Flender said lightly: "When we kidnapped Director Moran, didn't we get people out of close defense?"
This incident has almost become the proudest thing in Martin's heart, and it has also earned him a large group of admirers. In the hearts of these gangsters, those who dare to go against the official are heroes and idols worthy of worship. Martin's ability to re-recruit so many people in such a short period of time has a lot to do with his kidnapping plan this time.
Although he didn't know exactly how it got out, he did get a lot of credit for it. The black man and the official are people of two worlds, and he is not at all worried about his affairs reaching the ears of the official. And even if those people did hear about it, there would be no evidence to prove anything.
It's all around his territory, and it's full of people he has arranged, and as soon as the official people show up, he will get the news as soon as they appear, and easily move Leila to another place before the official people arrive.
Now that Flender spoke of his great achievements once again, he could not help but feel proud again.
"That's right, Flender, sure enough, you know me best. Now you have to think of a way to 'invite' the big Hollywood stars over! Anyway, didn't they come all the way here just to play Moran's movies? Since they are all acting, there is nothing wrong with playing us. ”
Flender lowered his eyes and lowered his head slightly: "You're right. ”
"By the way, and those tools, by the way, bring them all over there!" Martin thought of another thing that gave him a headache.
But this time Flender shook his head: "There are too many of those things, I'm afraid it will take a few cars to transport them." It's impossible for our people to go in there and take everything out. ”
Martin thought about it, and it seemed like that. Since he brought Moran here, there have been more people there, and it seems that the professional security is also very strong. Just by looking at the weapons on their bodies, he knew that those people were not something he could challenge with his current strength. And he doesn't want to face the official directly, and the people he finally recruited again, although they are much worse than before, can be used anyway. How can a boss do without a little brother?
"What can you do? I need those tools!"
Flender thought for a while: "We also have some crews in China, so it's better to lease them from them, it must not cost much money." And they still have some manpower to use. ”
Martin was immediately happy when he heard this: "Haha, Flender, you are really a good assistant that cannot be missing." That's right! I'll take care of the matter, and you must get it all for me! Money is not a problem!" He didn't believe that those people would dare to ask for any money after seeing his gun!
