"Yo, there are a lot of people here, and now I know that I pay attention to it."

Chen Tiandu was mentally refreshed, wondering if he should still hold the shelf, or climb down the pole. But soon put his careful thoughts out of the clouds, and with the enthusiasm of fans seeing idols, he rushed over, shook hands with the visitor enthusiastically, and said: "Director Spielberg, you actually came in person." I'm a fan of yours and I've studied all of your movies carefully, it's ...... Flattered. ”

Hearing the events of the day, I thought that this young Asian man was an unruly person, but I didn't expect that he would get it done as soon as he came forward, Steven had a smile on his face, "Christmas, can I call you that, we have known each other on the Internet for a long time, and we are very happy to meet a real person." ”

"My pleasure, director."

Steven Spielberg introduced the others, and even the lawyer Donnie called. Robert Rodart aside, Toby Hawkins is also there, as well as the film's other producer, Ian Bryce, and a new Writers Guild staff member, Carter.

The intentions speak for themselves.

"Christmas, I heard about the daytime and I'm so sorry. You may not know much about the Hollywood model, a movie needs to be carefully crafted and revised until it is perfected before it starts, and I was so anxious to shoot a movie that you were not in the United States at the time, so I hired Mr. Robert Rodart as a script doctor. He also had an idea to write a Normandy story before, but he actually admired the script you wrote, but his temper was not very good, and the two sides met and had a conflict. I'm sorry. ”

"No, no, it's okay, no need to apologize. In fact, I was too extreme. Mr. Rodart, I would like to introduce myself again, Christmas Chen, from the directing department of the Central Academy of Drama in China, it is a pleasure to meet you. With a very kind smile, he took the initiative to shake Robert's hand. Whether or not the Jews arranged to test him, he didn't know about it.

Robert Rodat barely managed to squeeze out a smile, and the two sides shook hands to settle their enmity.

"Well, that's how it should be between men. How about you sit down and talk about business? ”

Signing the contract is naturally speechless, DreamWorks is willing to buy this script for 1oo yuan, and Chen Tiandu signed it without even paying the price. 1oo0,000 seems to be a lot, but you must know that the investment budget for this movie is 7ooo, and the script investment is only 1.4% of the total investment. He knows that this script is Oscar-level, and he will give it to any of the six major Hollywood companies, and he will not give up as long as he has a little vision. The bid of large companies for blockbuster scripts, 1oo is the lowest level.

The agreement was finally signed, and several people had more smiles on their faces. "Is he still a very knowledgeable Chinese, who said that he was rebellious."

Ian Bryce raised his glass, "For the sake of everyone's happy cooperation, I propose a drink to everyone." ”

"For the box office of the movie, for the Oscar harvest, for the Spielberg director to win the Oscar for Best Director, do!" Chen Tiandu looked stunned, and shouted a toast and took a sip. Xin said, "You guys are so pediatric, we are all three drinks in a row." ”

Everyone was stunned by his arrogant words, and Steven had a better impression of him, "Thank you in advance, Christmas, if you really win the award." ”

Chen Tiandu smiled honestly, "I believe in the director's strength and this script." Did I mention to you that I am a directing student? ”

"Yes, you said that your school is the most famous film and television talent school in China, and it has also produced several great directors at the European Film Awards. Zhang Yimou, Jiang Wen, etc., are all very good directors. ”

"Thank you, director, remember. Our country's film industry is still in the exhibition stage, and the whole world is envious of Hollywood's filming model. You know, I'm graduating this year, and all my directing experience is planning and shooting three commercials. Can you make a small request for me to follow the crew to help learn? I don't get paid any salary. ”

There are also a lot of "overlord clauses" in the American screenwriting industry.

The screenwriter basically has no right to speak, and is at the mercy of the producer and the director, and the script must be revised until it meets the standards required by the investor. Although the screenwriter is the person who knows the script best, they have no right to speak, and can only obey the director's arrangement in the selection of actors. But once the script is revised and perfected, it can no longer be changed in the future, and the screenwriter does not have to work with the crew. It is said that in the Korean market, in addition to the high remuneration of screenwriters, almost twenty or thirty times that of Chinese screenwriters, the status of Korean screenwriters is also above the director, and the director cannot modify the screenwriter's script without authorization, and it is also disrespectful to the writer for the actor to modify the lines...... It's a strange country.

Americans obviously do not understand the enthusiasm of the Chinese, "In these years, there are still people who are willing to work for nothing without a salary?" ”

Steven was only slightly stunned and readily agreed, "Of course, this is the best, we can't ask for it." ”

The Chinese guy was obviously overly enthusiastic, "Director, can you please take a look at the three commercials I made?" ”

"Now?" Steven wondered. In the eyes of everyone, Chen Tiandu is completely the image of a rough and hot-blooded young man at the moment, and he also has a bit of idol overreaction syndrome.

"Of course, it's convenient, please wait."

Chen Tiandu shrugged his shoulders and pulled out his phone and pointed it at a TV playing music directly in front of the restaurant. Everyone couldn't figure out what he was doing, but the phone was quite trendy. I saw Chen Tiandu operate a few times casually, grabbed a video text and threw it at the huge TV.

"Thorn~~" The music on the TV suddenly disappeared, and was replaced by a Chinese advertisement.

The first one to play was a mobile phone ad. Everyone was shocked, what kind of technology is this, hackers? Or has China's mobile phone been developed to this extent? But casually asking about other people's ** is very taboo in the United States. Although there are doubts, they can only be stuffed in their minds. They speculated that Chen Tiandu should be the son of a Chinese technology group or something, at least the kind with a very rich family.

The TV news suddenly disappeared and Chinese commercials began to be played, and the waiters wondered, thinking that the TV was broken.

"Hey man, get out of the way, don't block my signal." Chen Tiandu shouted. The waiter knew that this table was full of big people, so he smiled and got out of the way.

The sound of beautiful music quickly attracted everyone's attention to the TV. After a minute of advertising, it was not bad. The next toothpaste ad is another minute, ok. Canon's music played for four minutes, and this time smiles appeared on the faces of several people.

"Very good advertising work, very creative." Steven's smiling evaluation.

"Thank you."

Lao Chen said "ashamedly", "It's just the level of advertising." ”

Seeing that this young man pretending to be cute and stupid quickly won everyone's approval, Robert Rodart was even more suffocated, and said, "Christmas, can I ask you some questions about the script?" ”

"Of course, you'll have to ask them one by one this time."

"Okay. Why write a World War II story, why not write about World War II in China? ”

Chen Tiandu smiled and said, "I wrote it." In fact, my first script was a story of World War II in China, about the difficult love of a pianist during the war years. It's a pity that my script is obviously not good enough, and no one is willing to invest in it so far, and then there is a World War II story in the United States. ”

"The story of saving Private Ryan is very American, do you have a prototype for this story?"

Chen Tiandu continued to smile, "I think there is, but I haven't verified it." My grandmother was a French doctor who went to China during World War II to help. It should be a soldier of the 1o1 airborne division of the US army...... It's called Fritz Nilan, I'm not sure. He may have learned of the death of his brother in the 82nd Airborne Division after capturing Karentan Bay, while his other brother in the Infantry Division was also killed on the Utah beachhead, and the third brother was shot down on the Burma-India border in the middle of the same week and reported missing, essentially dead because he was a member of the bomber's crew. On the same day, Mrs. Nilan received three telegrams at the same time that her son had been killed, and that Fritz was the only surviving son in the family, so the 6th Army ordered him to be sent back home first. ”

"If you're interested, you can check it out. Of course, there are many fictional places in the script, the members of the rescue team, the town attack and defense battle in the final section, and so on. In this process, he only mentioned his grandmother, and did not say that it was the story of his grandmother suing him, but made everyone subconsciously think that he knew it from his French grandmother.

But the explanations were all the way, which made the expressions on everyone's faces more relaxed.
