California, a break room on a set.

The five of them sat around together, no one was holding a thick document in their hands and reading it very intently, and they were recording something from time to time, for a long time one of the middle-aged people laughed, and the other four glanced at him and continued to look at the document, the middle-aged man suddenly said: "Hey, you guys can see it faster than me, that heroine needs to be as curious as a cat, don't you think it's funny?"

One woman looked at him and said, "Don't dwell on the details, Edward, I think the story structure is very good." ”

A man of apparent Indian descent still looked at the manuscript and said, "Jennifer, it's not like you don't know his habits. ”

At this time, another man said: "To be honest, I have diǎn want to put this story in the main drama, and this script has already been signed?"

The woman just now, Jennifer Diǎndiǎn, said: "It's indeed a signed script, and the other party means that if we don't license the film, they would rather leave the script in the warehouse than give it to anyone to shoot." ”

"Hehe, the heart is quite high, is it possible that the kid from a rich family thinks that he is very capable?" said the man who had not spoken at this time with a sneer.

Jennifer waved her hand and said: "It's not, to say that there is indeed a relationship, but it is mainly through the intermediary of Guò Universal Music, I don't know the specifics, but you probably can't imagine that the author of the script is the protagonist of the academic seminar that is being held at Harvard and B." ”

"Oh, no wonder the story is very logical, although it seems to be a bit unexpected, but the part that describes the heroine's psychology and R's psychology is very exciting, what is the author's name? Maybe I still know it. The man who had just sneered became interested this time.

"You do know her, but she doesn't know you, she's been on various TV networks for the past six months, and you wanted a script about a Holocaust survivor because you watched an episode about her story, and you forgot?" said Jennifer Diǎndiǎn.

The four men suddenly became interested, men, the memory of beautiful women is very long, especially the sad past, and at the same time, they do not hesitate to improve themselves, and they seem to be very special diǎn beauties, and it is easy for men to remember deeply, so they almost stand "dǐng" diǎn "small" said, .≮.o±s_(); That is, they spoke excitedly: "Oh~ It's called Phoebe...... Phoebe or something. ”

"Yes, yes, it's her, surnamed Song, and she is Korean. ”

"That's right! The beautiful woman studying at MIT seems to be a Korean singer. ”

"What, she is Chinese, it is because of her that I know more about Chinese, most of them don't like to hold grudges, only a few people hold grudges. We have been deceived by the government for too long, and most of the Chinese are still very hospitable. ”

"......" Jennifer smiled bitterly and rubbed his eyebrows, as soon as these men mentioned beautiful women, they immediately opened the conversation, and it was not at all the look of death when they read other people's scripts just now. She couldn't cry or laugh, so she had to be silent, of course, she also admitted that that Phoebe did leave a deep impression, especially that face, which was so beautiful.

Jennifer is used to seeing men, women, and love in Hollywood, so this situation did not embarrass her, she just shook her head slightly and picked up the manuscript and read it. The four men, all with smiles on their faces, continued their heated discussion:

The man who had treated the script in his hand with a sneer just now smiled at this time and said: "I didn't expect her to have quite an idea, in fact, I have always felt that the story of each protagonist is worth digging into, but the filming of three seasons has made the framework of the series finalized, and R's story line is obviously weaker than the other protagonists, which is obviously not good, so I tend to authorize this script, of course, the connection of specific clues still needs to be discussed." ”

The man who spoke the least just now also spoke more at this time: "Okay Jeff, it's not that I don't know you, what you really want is the opportunity to communicate with that Phoebe at close range." ”

And the first man to laugh just now laughed: "Haha, actually, we all want to see her up close, and so do you, Simon." ”

Simon spread his hands calmly and smiled: "Of course, looking at beautiful women does make people feel happy, especially at the level of Phoebe." ”

The rest of the man laughed and said, "I found out that Erica is right, we are indeed polluted by Hollywood." ”

"Oh, what has she been up to lately?" asked the first man to laugh.

Hearing that she finally got down to business, Jennifer finally spoke up: "She went to B to find inspiration for a new case, her perspective has always been quite special, you have to admit it, Edward." ”

Edward diǎn diǎn head, let the queen shrug his shoulders and smiled: "I find that I can't underestimate women more and more, first Erica, and then there is a Phoebe here, which can always bring a unique perspective to people." ”

Jennifer smiled and didn't speak, compared to the East, women's rights protection in the West is better, and there is much less gender discrimination against women, but Edward has been a police detective in Chicago for more than ten years, so he still has some contempt for women in his thinking - of course, there are very few reservations - Chicago is now considered the Midwest, but from the perspective of historical population migration, there are closer values to the East.

In the early days of the American film industry, more than 80 percent of the films were shot in Chicago, and the same was true for many of Chaplin's films, so it is not surprising that Edward was exposed to film and television shooting since he was a child, and finally devoted himself to the film and television industry, and the role of women in early films was basically only one - vase.

Jeff is obviously because of the creation of the script, and he can often provide a vision of the story from an unexpected angle to women, which makes the creation of the script more logical, so he has more of an appreciative and cooperative attitude towards women, and Erica did not hesitate to go to Quantico's B Academy many times to seek advice in order to create new script elements, which made him very impressed, so he felt that Edward's words were a little discriminatory against women, so he said with some indignation: " Edward, don't always think that women can't do it, haven't you heard of a Mexican proverb that says that the family is built on women, which means that without women, no matter how powerful a man is, he can't stabilize himself, and now women are much more powerful than before, and even in the past, remember Ayn Rand? She is a figure who has dominated almost the entire American upper class thinking, how many men can do this?"

If others, no matter who Edward doesn't say, but he still has some contempt in his heart, after all, things like scientific inventions basically appear naturally after the overall scientific level of the society has certain conditions. Ideological things are different, in addition to having ideas first, a person must also have the ability to summarize these thoughts, and supplement them with logical narratives so that others can learn and go deeper, throughout human history, there are very few people who can do this, including Marx, who is touted in the Eastern world as if the Three Emperors were alive, Engels and Lenin, tracing the roots of their ideological system, in fact, as early as the sixteenth century, there were Scottish Protestant priests in this area of discussion and work, and even the American Civil War was related to this kind of thinking, and the idea of "the rationalization, inevitability and sacralization of violent revolution" in the Civil War was summarized in detail by Marx in "Capital". The Russian Revolution, the first proletarian revolution in the world.

Okay, let's go far, but when you study world history, you will find a clear line of this ideological change and inheritance...... Sorry, it's too far-fetched......

Anyway, the woman Anrand is indeed admired by many people, and Edward is no exception, so he was a little speechless, although he is an executive producer, and he is also a director, but the script writer is sometimes really difficult to do, in the first half of this year, because the Writers Guild did not want to have a good time with Hollywood, there was a strike, which affected the shooting of many movies and TV series......

Anyway, in the eyes of the layman, the actor and the director are more powerful, but in the eyes of the insider, it is not the same, a good screenwriter can not only write a logical and rigorous script, but also help the director more clearly grasp the ins and outs of the plot and the relationship between the characters, especially in the field of TV dramas, the director's energy is often focused on the part being filmed, at this time, a good screenwriter will provide the director with foreshadowing that can be used in the future plot development- At this time, the director was thinking about the current plot, and he didn't have much energy to think about how to deal with the foreshadowing.

And Edward also knew that he was indeed a little imprudent in speaking, so he smiled and touched his nose, could the other party still compete with an old man like himself?

Sure enough, as soon as Edward's posture came out, everyone understood that he knew that he was wrong, but because of his former experience as a police detective, he was not too embarrassed to take the initiative to apologize, they had been working together for nearly nine years, and they had long known what the other party's temperament was, so Jeff didn't care, and said funny: " Okay, but you can't underestimate this Phoebe, I read the script, at first glance, it seems that the heroine's logic makes people a little confused, but when I think of the title of the movie, a, combined with the inside story in the script, I don't think it's difficult to understand. So I think she's pretty good. ”

Edward touched his nose again, and looked at the Indian Ou Han, who also diǎndiǎn said: "It's a joke, although this Phoebe is very beautiful, but I have to admit that her ideas are very good, and it can be seen that the way of writing is edified, this aspect is my specialty, I don't see anything unsatisfactory about her writing." ”

After Ou Han finished speaking, Simon didn't wait for Edward to look at him, and took the initiative to say: "And do you pay attention, her entire story structure actually reflects a lot of things, and the requirements for reading the script itself also have the shooting requirements of commercial films, so I think that if this film is not done well, it can push our TV series to a higher position, I am very optimistic about this script, but I don't know when this will happen, um......" Speaking of this, Simon glanced at the cover of the manuscript in his hand, and then continued: "Titan? Well, which director will be invited to shoot Titan, and if possible, I would like to be able to observe this crew. ”

Edward listened to the diǎndiǎn head, and then looked at Jennifer who wanted to take out the notebook from just now to make shorthand, everyone was patiently waiting for Jennifer to finish writing what to remember, after all, now they are doing work, not strictly forbidden work, so everyone is very relaxed.

Jennifer marked what everyone said just now, re-browsed the penny, and then said to everyone with a smile: " I found that you men sometimes tend to ignore a lot of things because they are too focused, do you know that this Phoebe is not only on TV because of the 98 Nanyang incident a while ago, she is also a city hero in Boston, in addition, as far as I know, her score in the exam is unprecedentedly high, and Harvard was successful in robbing her from the time she was done, if it weren't for her father being studying, she herself is more interested in science and technology, she is not necessarily a student of that school, and her mother also graduated from Harvard Medical School back then, which is considered to have a deep relationship with these two dǐng universities, and now she goes to Harvard no differentBoth schools are deliberately blurring her student status. ”

Hearing this, Simon shook his head a little disapprehensively - no matter how good he was in school, it would be different after graduation.

But Jennifer obviously didn't finish speaking, only heard her say: "You probably don't know, I was interested in her when I first heard about this script, so I also know that she is giving an academic report on "Blackwater Book Research Methodology" at three famous universities in Boston this week, Blackwater Book you probably don't know, but this thing is not small in the field of ancient writing and occultism, if you pay attention to it, you can know how popular she is this week." ”

Edward diǎn diǎn head, people in the academic field have always been unaffordable in the entertainment industry, so when they heard this, several people began to think more seriously about whether to authorize.

As a result, Jennifer still didn't finish speaking, she said: "And B seems to have always hoped that we can agree to Phoebe's request, they have read this script, and they think that Phoebe has set up their image quite well, not only flesh and blood, but also full of American heroism, so ......" said this, Jennifer spread her hands, everyone understands this, this authorization is even passed on B's side, just waiting for their group of people who actually hold the copyright to sign......

Jeff, who was still supporting women just now, pouted at this time and said: "Okay, Edward, although I don't know how much she is going to invest, but I think we can ask for a higher licensing fee, so that the budget of the spin-off TV series will not have to worry." ”

The other four looked at each other, and they all diǎn diǎn heads, this mention yì is quite good.

I forgot to mention that the crew of these five people is the one who filmed "Criminal Minds......
