Chapter 30: The "Stuttering" script

Asuka Films began to function normally, and Lester came to the Left Bank Cafe with the script of "Stuttering" and decided to start his first film, "Stuttering", which was only 13 minutes long, and took it to the award-winning short film.

On the premise that the company has not yet cooperated with a director, Lester plans to start the name of Flying Bird Film and Television Company first to bring profits to the company.

However, before coming, in the office of Asuka Film and Television Lester, Lester said to Emmanuel: "You go and help me find Pete Lelder and Kevin Eastman, and buy the film adaptation rights and anime adaptation rights of the "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" comics with them, as well as peripheral rights. ”

"Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, what kind of manga is this!

Emmanuel was slightly stunned, he had never heard of such a cartoon appearing, and asked suspiciously;

This time it was Lester's turn to be stunned, and he groaned, only to remember that the comics of "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" have not yet been launched, so Emmanuel has not heard of the comics that have not yet been launched, and after thinking about it, he thought of Phantom Studios, maybe it would be a good decision to acquire him as a studio under Asuka Films, and changed his words: "In this way, you asked Fields to lead the team to buy Phantom Studios and change it to Asuka Comic Studios, and by the way, buy the copyright in their hands and invite Pete Rald and Kevin Lard. Eastman worked as a manga artist for Asuka Comics Studios. ”

1 "Okay, I'll do it right away!"

Seeing that Lester valued the "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" comic so solemnly, and wanted to buy a studio to publish "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles", Emmanuel hurriedly said solemnly, turned around and went to inform Fields, busy buying the copyright of "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles".

The sales of the "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" series of comics are so good, Lester doesn't want to let go, and he gets the copyright by other film and television companies, and he buys a comic studio with distribution, which is better than starting a new comic studio, all the equipment is complete, and there are partners and printing houses behind the comics.

……

Left Bank Cafe, the most remote seat, sat two people, one of whom was the little Robert who had been honing his acting skills in the troupe, yesterday received a call from Lester inviting him to make a movie, as Lester's friend, without saying a word, he immediately came to the café that made people calm and calm the next day, but he didn't expect that in addition to him, there was another middle-aged man wearing sunglasses and a hat. Ford, which made Robert Jr.'s psyche flutter, sat down opposite Harrison Ford to say hello with some restraint.

"You're the lead actor invited by little Lester. ”

Harrison Ford's little guy before meeting him was a little restrained, trying to find a topic to resolve little Robert's nervousness, and said with a smile on his face;

Right!

Little Robert saw that Harrison took the initiative to talk to him, nodded hurriedly, and his body relaxed slightly;

Harrison Ford saw that little Rott was still a little nervous, and said helplessly: "Don't be nervous, I'm not a big villain." ”

No, I'm just too excited to meet you!

Little Robert hurriedly shook his head and said;

Lester walked in and saw that Harrison Ford had been teasing Robert Jr., making him a little embarrassed.

Little Lester, you're finally here. ”

Harrison Ford noticed Lester coming, beckoned, turned to the waiter and said, "Have a cup of Starbucks coffee for this Mr. Lester." ”

"Here's the script, you two read it. ”

As soon as Lester sat down, without waiting for the two of them to ask, he took out two copies of the script of "Stuttering" from his black leather bag, put them in front of them, and said;

The two picked up the script of "Stuttering" and read it, and Lester saw the two reading the script, so he waited quietly.

Please use it slowly!

After a while, the waiter put the finished Starbucks coffee in front of Lester, said politely, and retreated.

The script for "Stuttering" is a live-action short film costing $8,000 and tells the story of Greenwood, a lonely printer with a clear and active mind, but a stutter that prevents him from expressing himself in person. In order to avoid further embarrassment, he even taught himself sign language, often pretending to be deaf and mute, but this made his life more and more closed. Fortunately, he dated a cheerful girl Ellie on Facebook for half a year, which added a little more color to his life. However, when Ellie suddenly tells him that she has come to London for a tour of his country and wants to meet and talk, he is in a state of inner struggle and panic......

Two pages, summarizing the 13-minute plot, Lester invited Harrison Ford to play the old man who only had one or two minutes in the script, at this time Harrison Ford's worth did not reach the point of sky-high remuneration, with the two of them in the "Raiders of the Lost Ark 2" drama composition for the sake of good friends, Harrison Ford agreed to Lester's invitation and made a free cameo appearance in Leicester's movie as a friend.

Lester just wanted to see if Harrison Ford could make a cameo appearance as the father of the protagonist in the film at a low salary, only for two minutes, if he didn't agree, he could also find someone else, but he didn't expect Harrison Ford to make such an atmospheric gratuitous cameo, which was really a surprise to him.

The protagonist of "Stuttering", Lester chose Robert Jr., who has not yet starred in blockbusters and literary films, without spending a lot of money to hire other actors from the agency, and the salary is only 2,000 US dollars.

Lester plans to play the male role of arguing with a woman in the script, and several other characters plan to find a group actor to perform, outside Hollywood, not everyone can become famous and become a superstar, and there are also group actors who are mixed in Hollywood underneath.

"It's a really good script. ”

Harrison Ford put down the script in his hand and said with a look of surprise, the plot in it is very exciting, there is a refreshing feeling, it seems that little Lester can not only be an author, but also a movie screenwriter,

I agree with Mr. Harrison, I love the script so much.

Robert Jr. put down the script in his hand and said with his hands dancing, completely free of the tension of facing Harrison Ford.

"Then you're ready to act. ”

Lester saw that the two of them were interested in the script, and hurriedly asked;

"We agreed to star. ”

Harrison Ford and Robert Jr. looked at each other and agreed;

Then come with me to the company to sign a contract!

Hit it off, Lester was about to take the two back to the company to sign the contract, and said eagerly;

"You're in a film and television company. ”

Little Robert was slightly stunned when he heard this, he often ran in the troupe, Lester was busy with the company and novels, the two had not been in touch for a while, Lester opened a film and television company, Robert Jr. didn't know, when he heard this, he asked with some doubts;

No, I started a film and television company called Bird Films.

Lester shook his head and said with a beaming look;

Harrison Ford didn't come as much of a surprise, he already knew from Spielberg that Leicester had a film and television company.

Let's go!

Lester shouted, getting up and walking outside, Harrison Ford following beside him.

It's really good... Little Robert spoke with envy and got up to follow.

Lester returned to Bird Pictures with Robert Jr. and Harrison Ford, signed a contract with them, and "Stuttering" crew Dimes also helped Lester get it ready, and Lester began his filming of the movie.
