CHAPTER XXVII

The sound in the darkness makes people feel oppressed.

Finally, after a few lighter sounds, a flame lit up, and the small flame of the lighter not only did not give people an absolute sense of light and security, but highlighted the depression of the environment from the opposite side.

Chen Tian used a close-up shot in this place, and the situation on Scarlett's face was clearly seen in the light of the lighter, but everyone could see that this was a kind woman.

A kind woman in a closed coffin, this is enough to make people sympathetic.

Tom Odenberg read the script so he was somewhat mentally prepared, the only thing he didn't expect was that the protagonist turned out to be a woman and not a man, which in his opinion would have a congenital deficiency.

And Jon Philtimmel and Michael Parsennecke next to him watched it with curiosity, and slowly as the plot progressed, everyone felt a heavy chest.

Especially the scene where Scarlett cries after finally untying the rope in her mouth is even more painful.

The change of the protagonist from Ryan Reynolds to Scarlett Johansson is not only the change of the protagonist and the difference between men and women, but more importantly, the change of gender makes Chen Tian have to make a lot of modifications.

From the protagonist's family identity, background, family to the language in the play, the original film is a truck driver, and here Scarlett plays an ordinary employee in charge of logistics at the Iraq Reconstruction Company.

Her husband lost his left arm in a car accident in the United States, so she came to Iraq to earn a little more.

"Sir, I'm buried, I can't breathe, please send someone to me. ”

"Slow down, please?"

"What's your name, Rita...... Rita Conroy. ”

"Ma'am, can you tell me where you are?"

"I don't know the way, I don't know the way, I'm in a coffin, I don't know where I am, I'm really scared. ”

"You're in a coffin?"

"Yes!"

"It's like that old-fashioned wooden coffin......"

"Are you at the funeral home?"

"No, no, no. ”

"And how did you call us? If you're buried in a coffin, how do you call me. ”

"With a mobile phone, there was an old mobile phone in the coffin. ”

"Did you climb in on your own?"

The only sound of the film came from the screening room, and the ninety minutes slowly came to an end.

A conversation between Rita Conroy and her husband came out on the screen, and the sand in the coffin gradually overflowed, and Rita pressed her whole face against the coffin lid to find some gaps as much as possible.

"They're coming, I'm leaving right away, I'm going to call you, I'm going to come back to you, I swear, I love you. ”

Jon Philtimmel and Michael Parsenneck, who hadn't read the script, listened to the sound of planes and rescue excavations, thinking that Scarlett's character was about to be rescued, and their hearts were relieved after almost ninety minutes.

But the sound of conversation on the phone and the coffin about to be swallowed made the two of them can't help but cheer for the rescuers, but the sound of the phone completely shattered Rita Conroy's hopes.

At the same time, it hit their hearts heavily, and they instantly felt like they were suffocated.

"They brought us to Mark White. ”

Hearing the voice on the other end of the phone, Scarlett instantly lost her soul, the flashing battery sign stopped beating, and the phone lit up violently.

Under the soundtrack, the camera slowly lengthens from close-up, and in Rita Conroy's desperate "OK!OK!OK!" sound, the coffin is completely submerged in sand, and the entire screen is darkened again.

"Rita, I'msorryI'msorry. ”

The voice of the rescue officer sounded in the dark, and after ten seconds of darkness, "AJustinCHENFILM" appeared on the screen.

The subtitles disappear, and the sound of the brisk music of "InTheLapOfTheMountain" is heard.

The brisk rhythm of the music was more like the last straw that crushed the hearts of Tom Odenberg, Jon Filtimmel and Michael Parsenneck.

Heavy wheezing sounded in Chen Tian's ears, and Chen Tianzhi said that no matter whether this "Buried Alive" could touch Lionsgate's heart, at least the performance of the three Lionsgate managers next to him had told him that his film was a success.

The lights in the screening room turned on, and the three people next to him still couldn't get out of the film, Chen Tian waited quietly without speaking.

Tom Oldenberg was the first to walk out, and Tom Oldenberg, who took a deep breath, looked at Chen Tian beside him.

"Justin, congratulations, you've made a great film. ”

"Thank you. Chen Tian didn't show much joy.

Production manager Michael Parsennec patted his chest and looked at Chen Tian in disbelief: "Justin, you made a great film. ”

With a long sigh of relief, Parsenek continued: "But to be honest, this film will cause a lot of controversy, you know the current situation. ”

"Yes, I know, but it's true, isn't it? And I don't think you're going to worry about it if you buy his distribution rights. Chen Tian said with a smile.

"For what?" said Jon Fittimmel, the manager of the distribution department, looking at Chen Tian.

"Because it's excellent. Chen Tian pointed to the screen.

Jon Fittimmel laughed, "Yes, it's excellent, but it's not good enough to impress us, and we're going to put a lot of pressure on it." ”

"Fear of stress is not the Liongate I know, Lionsgate is a unique category in the film army, but it is the best category, and I honestly love your movies because they always give me a lot of different feelings, unlike other companies that always express the same thing. ”

Seeing that none of the three of them showed a dissatisfied look, Chen Tian continued: "The people need such a film, don't they? It can go straight to the bottom of people's hearts and directly express the reality of the world, and what we need is truth rather than falsehood. ”

"That's a good point. Tom Odenberg laughed and said, "It touched us, but can I ask a question? Why would you choose a woman, I think a man might be better?"

The other two also looked at Chen Tian, and it was clear that they all agreed with Tom Oldenberg's statement.

Chen Tian shrugged his shoulders and looked helpless: "Can I say that there is no way?"

"Oh?" said Tom Odenberg.

"I have limited funds, only $1,500 in total, and that's all I need to start. ”

"How is it possible to finish filming this film for $1,500?" said Michael Parsenech, whose voice was more than a dozen decibels.

"Yes, it starts at $1,500, but the film cost a total of $13,000. Chen Tian repeated what he and Michael Amter had said.

If the film moved them, and Chen Tian's insights also moved them, then Chen Tian's filming experience completely moved them.

"It's all incredible, and I think it's a good selling point that you started making this film with $1,500. Michael Parsennecke exclaimed.

"But your cast selection is great, is it a newcomer?"

Chen Tian has not added the names of the cast and crew to the film, so Tom Odenberg does not know that the actress in the film is made up by Scarlett Johansson.

"No, not a newcomer, she's Scarlett Johansson. ”

"Scarlett Johansson?"

"Yes, that's her. ”

"It's not like her at all, the level of makeup is incredible, and we're going to release "The Girl with a Pearl Earring" starring her this year. ”

Tom Oldenberg felt incredulous, and at that moment he remembered the news that Scarlett had almost died in a coffin.

"The recent news about Scarlett seems to be your propaganda ploy as well. Tom Oldenberg was more and more impressed by Chen Tian.

"It's propaganda, but it's true, she decided to sleep in a coffin to experience the feeling in order to play the role well, and then there was an accident, it was the time when it suddenly rained heavily a few days ago. ”

Chen Tian glanced at the three of them and decided to strike while the iron was hot: "An excellent actor, an incredible shooting cost, the attention of the whole United States, and an excellent film with topicality, sir, what do you think of this film?"

"Great, really great! But I think we'll need to discuss it before we get back to you. Tom Odenberg walked aside with the two managers of the production department and the distribution department.

"Gotta succeed, gotta succeed. ”

Chen Tian sensed Lionsgate's great interest, but he still couldn't help but worry.
