Chapter 417: A call from a Hollywood director

In fact...... Source code...... This one is a small-budget production.

Even the scenes, there are so few. For some Hollywood blockbusters and the like, the production cost is almost negligible. However, it is such a small-budget film. In later generations, because the script is super powerful. With sci-fi color shots, coupled with the hard work of the two protagonists, the box office has swept hundreds of millions of dollars around the world, if it weren't for the 2-year Oscar pay, it is estimated that the source code of this movie will also be nominated for the Oscar and compete with other films for Best Film.

The charm of Renren is really endless, especially under the retweets of some enthusiastic readers. made this source code script suddenly spread from China to the world. And Chen Jiayi is also waiting for the contact of the film and television company.

Hollywood.

"Hollywood City" is located in the northwest of "Los Angeles City", the second largest city in the United States, in the southwest of "California", and is a world-famous movie city. It can almost be said that there is the world's best film market base, the world's richest film investors, and the world's best directors and actors. Countless world-renowned celebrities will come to this place when their country has reached a certain stage of development. Like Jackie Chan, Jet Li, Chow Yun-fat...... and so on, they also yearn for Hollywood, they hope to come to the Shihan World Film Center, in order to show their heads and feet.

But I have to say that Hollywood is a big stage.

Often you may be admired by thousands of people in China, but in Hollywood, you are nothing. Counting Hong Kong stars, it seems that only Bruce Lee has had some good treatment in Hollywood, and the others are ...... It didn't go very well. Although from the publicity, it seems that these stars are very glamorous in Hollywood.

"Director Donanda, how are you doing?"

In a spacious, bright office, an old man in his fifties was closing his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking. At this time, another young man quietly came to his office. Looking at him, he seemed to be very familiar with this old man.

"Green...... It's a pleasure to meet you, did you bring me another beautiful script? ”

This young man named Green, he is a gold medal editor in Hollywood, and he is more famous for some classic films such as "Wandering Man" and "King...... It's his masterpiece. Many directors in Hollywood are very eager to meet this talented editor. Many people say that Green, he is the guarantee of the box office. As long as the filming of Green's masterpiece starts, even if it can't win an award at the Oscars, it can achieve a very good box office.

"~~ Director Donan, I'm sorry, I haven't been thinking very well in the past few months, and I haven't come up with a suitable script.

That's the case with artists in the United States, who have a natural romantic mood. The more famous the artist, the less he produces. Often in a few months, it is also possible that a film and television script cannot be produced. For Green, the same is true for him. However, if he writes a script, each one will be sought after by countless directors.

"Hey, Green bothering you to hook up with some of the girls. You can help me old fellow, you know, I'm missing a script right now. Of course, you know, if it's a general script, even if I don't film, I won't work on it casually. ”

"Well, I know, today, I'm here for this. I think you should be quicker. ”

"Uh, what?"

Green was empty-handed, and there was no script, and Donan was a little unfamiliar.

"Well, I recently saw a script on Renren, and this script is simply amazing. I thought, my old man, you should buy it soon. Otherwise, perhaps, this script will be bought by others. ”

Now Green, as long as he thinks of the script he saw yesterday, he can't help but go crazy.

"Celestial, this is really a work of genius."

The past 8 minutes of the world have simply given him an extraordinary experience. Even, he, who is an editor, will be moved by it after reading it. So, he came to Hollywood today, ready to recommend it to Donan. Because, he knows that if he doesn't act quickly, with the excellence of this script, he will definitely be favored by other directors.

"yes, Green, what kind of script is this?" ,

Seeing Green's intoxicated look, Donan became interested. Based on his understanding of Green, this guy, although he is very talented, he may not be able to look down on others. Now, it is really rare for someone else's work to make him show such a look. Looking at it this way, "Donan" became more and more interested in this work

"Alright, Donan, I'll tell you this story."

Green was very excited today, he really wanted to see how surprised this great director looked.

So, he began to talk about this script of "Renren Network".

"It's a film that takes place in the present day and possibly in the future. The movie is about a bunch of science maniacs who use quantum theory to create a ...... that has lasted for the past 8 minutes The story starts here. ”

Half an hour later, "Greene" used his editor's dictation to fully express the script. Especially, Green looked at Donnan's tongue-licking expression when he was excited, and Green knew. This script completely fascinated the great director, and, looking at his appearance, Green laughed in his heart. This kind of heartfelt feeling, which only editors can experience, is that kind of feeling that one's work is recognized by others and is highly appreciated.

"Oh God, Green, I'm going to buy this script......"

After listening to this, Donan couldn't wait.

"Don't worry, my friend, this work was written by a Chinese."

"Chinese?"

"Yes, I, like you, wonder how they could write such a classic script. However, after seeing movies like Sleepwalking Zhuxian and The Legend of Shushan, I didn't have any doubts. ”

In that mysterious ancient country of the East, it is understandable that something magical appeared in him. Not to mention, in the past two years, Chinese movies have swept the world. Even Green, who has always been obsessed with Chinese movies, has to re-examine, is there really nothing wrong with Chinese movies?

Until, after he saw "Sleepwalking to the Immortals". He suddenly found that the imagination of the Chinese was much better than that of a large number of talented editors in Hollywood. Although, their acting is not very good. However, relying on excellent creativity and grand scenes, all of a sudden the lack of actors was made up.

Just as he saw this script yesterday, he knew that it was another movie of the times. Yes, genius editor Green, that's what he thinks. This one, in his opinion, is a series of films that surpass the previous series, and even create a new film genre. In this genre, he is not a kung fu movie, nor an action movie, nor a romance movie~~ He is a kind of memory thinking film, some like a detective investigating a case. However, this is much more magical than a detective case.

Green believes that this film can rely on his excellent creativity to conquer the world. If your actor performs better, maybe it's not impossible to win the Oscar.

"Oh, whatever. No matter what country the work is, as long as it is a good work, I will take this work down. ”

Donan Chu began to think, and then, he did not hesitate at all.

"Green, thank you, thank you for giving me this information today."

After speaking, Donan called the secretary over with a phone call. At this time, Green smiled and exited the office. He knew that Donan was about to start the filming of the show.

And this script is the "source code" published by Chen Jiayi on Renren.

"Hello, I'm Stanley Donan...... Six

Early in the morning, Chen Jiayi received a phone call.

"Stanley, Donan?"

Who? Chen Jiayi was confused, how could he know who this "Duonan" was.

"Excuse me, are you Mr. Lian Jiayi?"

"Yes."

"Great, sorry excuse me, I know, probably, it's early morning there. However, I can't wait. ”

There were six bursts of good-natured laughter, "I'm a director in Hollywood, I don't know, have you ever seen a movie directed by me before." ”

"Nope."

Chen Jiayi is not familiar with Hollywood, even if he knows a few blockbusters, he doesn't know what big directors are.

"Well, it's okay if you don't know." ,

The other party stiffened for a moment, but quickly eased up.

Then, there was a joke, "There are still a lot of people in the world who don't know me." ”

"Haha......"

Hearing this joke, Lian Jiayi became interested in this director. At least, the director's image of Chen Jiayi is very good. doesn't have the temper of a big Hollywood director, and it feels good to always bathe in the spring breeze.

"That's right, we've seen your masterpiece on Renren.com, we think it's very good, and we want to buy the movie copyright of the source code, do you think it's ......?"

"So soon, have you thought about it?"

Actually, Chen Jiayi didn't ask Donan, but he hadn't thought about it yet.

Although after the director declared his identity, Chen Jiayi had already guessed that the director just wanted to buy his script. However, only two days after his script was sent to "Renren", Hollywood directors had already run over. This made Chen Jiayi taken aback, how could it be so fast. However, think about it, an excellent script, he will definitely attract the attention of others. Not to mention, on a global "Renren" community platform, Chen Jiayi almost released this work on Renren, and a few hours later, it instantly spread to the United States.

"Yes, we think the source code is a very good work. Especially the last 8 minutes of creativity, it's just too classic.

We were absolutely sure that we would shoot one 8-minute after another. ”

Donan is sure that at the level of films he has directed for many years, he is confident that he will make this source code. Moreover, he also saw the shock that this source code brought to the film industry. It is possible that as long as the source code is released, another film genre will be formed in the world, and this genre is called the thinking film stream. And he is the patriarch of the sect.

This is what any director will be tempted by.

Therefore, after "Duonan" heard "Green's" suggestion, he contacted Chen Jiayi as soon as possible. Because, he is afraid that if he is one step late, some other Hollywood directors will have to take the lead. Yes, in the big stage of Hollywood, a large number of world-renowned directors have been cultivated, and their vision is not under "Donan".

"I'll think about it."

Chen Jiayi didn't agree so quickly. The reason for this is that he still has a glimmer of hope. This hope is to shoot the source code in China. However, he also knows that Chinese film techniques are really not powerful.

"Hollywood is one of the best movie stages in the world, and he can make movies that the world is crazy about. If you have any conditions, please feel free to say so. ”

Donan wanted to convince Chen Jiayi further. Although Chen Jiayi did not refuse, he was afraid of long nights and dreams. In particular, if he puts down the phone, it is estimated that another director, he may contact Chen Jiayi.

"Yes, Hollywood is really a good stage."

Chen Jia nodded. This is also where he has always been contradictory, he wants to develop China's Shenying career, no, this task is too great. He just wants to spread Chinese culture, but he doesn't want the "source code" to spoil the domestic film industry. Although Tsui Hark is also a good director, he can make martial arts fairy blockbusters. But if you want him to direct the source code, it probably won't work. Especially the performance strength of domestic actors, Chen Jiayi is not depressed. Compared with some famous actors in Europe and the United States, even some of the best actors in China seem to be incomparable.

"You say, how about filming this source code in China?"

At this time, Chen Jiayi asked about this Duonan.

He wanted to hear the opinion of the great Hollywood director. Although, he knew, "Donan" would definitely deny it.

"China?"

"What kind of film can China make?"

Unnaturally, Donan said something like this. Sentences. However, soon, Donan realized that he had made a mistake, so he quickly changed his words and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Chen, I didn't mean that, you should understand what I said." ”

"It's okay, I just want to hear from you."

It is not a matter of a day or two that Chinese films are not welcomed, although under the influence of Shushan Biography and Sleepwalking Zhuxian, Chinese films have gained a certain reputation in the international film circle. However, many well-known directors still believe that the performance strength of Chinese actors is really poor. Even in the Legend of Shushan and Sleepwalking in Zhuxian, the performances of other actors are not very good. ,

"In recent years, I've seen the rise of Chinese cinema. Yes, your Chinese films are excellent. Especially in terms of visual effects, we in Hollywood must learn from Chinese films. But, I think. The script of "Source Code", he is not a large-scale work, on the contrary, he is still a small-scale film. And in this "source code", the 8 minutes in each place are all excellent acting skills. Otherwise, even if the idea is filmed, it may not cause much reaction. As far as I know, I think that China is not very strong enough in terms of actors' performance, six

"Thank you, thank you for giving a pertinent opinion, I will consider it."

This Annan is not bad, and what he said is very pertinent.

"Okay, my friend, I hope you can make a sane decision."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Jiayi kept thinking. Whether the source code was filmed in China or given to Hollywood. In fact, Chen Jiayi has thought of the pros and cons of both parties, but for the time being, he can't make this decision.

Thinking of this, Chen Jiayi decided to give Tsui Hark a call.

"Good morning, Director Xu."

"What a ghost, I've been working for more than an hour."

Zhu Xian's filming plan "is the top priority for Tsui Hark. Moreover, the first "sleepwalking immortal" is too powerful. Xianshi's part of Zhu Xian made Tsui Hark have a lot of pressure. Therefore, recently, Tsui Hark has been studying carefully how to shoot Zhu Xian well.

"It's been a great job, it's been a great job.

Chen Jiayi also felt that outside of Tsui Hark's movies, a lot of work was busy.

"Why, Mr. Chen, there won't be nothing to entertain me today."

"Haha, how dare you."

Chen Jia laughed, but he also had something serious to say to Tsui Hark, "Director Xu, have you watched a script I wrote recently, the source of the grandson ......?"

"Good boy! You don't mention the source code, I want to talk to you when I have time. This script, how did you come up with it. Even when I saw it, I was moved. ”

Speaking of the source code, Tsui Hark also got excited.

"yes, then I'll hand over the source code to you and shoot it."

Chen Jiayi said jokingly.

"Give it to me?"

Tsui Hark was happy at first, but after five minutes, Tsui Hark replied, "This, I'm afraid it won't work." ”

"Gang put it after Zhu Xian to shoot."

Chen Jiayi continued.

"It's not about schedules."

Tsui Hark shook his head and said, "I may have some experience in making purely Chinese-style martial arts fairy films. However, if you want to shoot a real city, the kind of acting skills that require a particularly high level of acting, I'm afraid I can't do anything. ”

It wasn't until after the legend of Shushan that Tsui Hark really understood his strengths and weaknesses.

Speaking of which, Tsui Hark's movie life is really like this.

For a purely Chinese-style martial arts blockbuster, this freehand style completely captures Chinese culture, and Tsui Hark plays it to the fullest. However, when it comes to a movie like modern city, which is pure acting, Tsui Hark can't do anything. In fact, Tsui Hark in the later period also made more literary films. However, little was achieved.

"Oh, then Director Xu will help me recommend a domestic director."

Chen Jiayi had no choice but to ask this insider.

"Recommended~~ This."

At this point, Tsui Hark fell silent again.

"How?"

"Tell the truth?"

"Of course."

"I think it may not work in China, so it's better to try it in Hollywood. I think that such a script will definitely attract those first-class Hollywood directors. Really, I can assure you. Even, I can recommend your script to them. ”

"I see."

Chen Jia nodded, which was considered to be understood.

"This morning, Hollywood director Annan contacted me to buy the film rights to the source code, and I didn't say yes for the time being."

"Anwei is a big director in Hollywood, and he is also a powerful person. Mr. Chen, you can think about it. ”

With his professional ethics, Tsui Hark suggested to Chen Jiayi...... )
