Chapter 819: To Each His Own [One Change]
"You don't have to worry about the plot, that's what I think...... One day in 1969, Aaron, a 12-year-old boy, accidentally found a game chess piece buried in the soil on a construction site and brought it home. Aaron had an argument with his father and was about to run away from home, his friend Xiao Min arrived, and the two played the game together, once the dice were thrown, the chessboard showed incredible magic, Aaron was engulfed by the chessboard, and Xiao Min was scared out of the room by a group of terrifying bats. ”
Zhou Yanmin's bright eyes were like stars reflected in the stream, staring at Lin Youlun, "This beginning is quite attractive, why do you want to use the names of the two of us?" ”
Lin Youlun shrugged, "Because I came up with this story when I was playing chess with you, it would make more sense to use the names of the two of us as the protagonists." ”
Zhou Yimin is not a three- or two-year-old child, so of course he won't believe Lin Youlun's statement.
"It's good for you to just say that it's your own bad taste, and you have to make up such a coaxing reason."
Lin Youlun smiled noncommittally, and did not fight with Zhou Yimin.
"And then?"
"At the beginning of the story, this setting is like this trap on the chessboard now." Lin Youlun pointed to the space marked with the trap on the chess card, "Of course, its function is not as simple as stopping the dice rolling, only when other players roll 5 or 8 points, Aaron can be released from the world of the chessboard." ”
"But Min has been scared away." Zhou Comin said subconsciously.
"So, Aaron was locked up on the board for 25 years until a new player joined."
"Aaron is locked up in the game world. Never grown up? Zhou Comin asked curiously.
Lin Youlun shook his head. "Of course not. He's grown up. ”
Zhou Yimin immediately guessed Lin Youlun's intention to do this.
"Are you going to give this role to Fa Ge?"
"You see that?" Lin Youlun pretended to be surprised and opened his mouth wide.
"Your intentions are so obvious, can a fool see it?"
Zhou Yimin was curious about the plot below, and then urged Lin Youlun to continue.
"Xiaoya and Xiaowen's parents were killed in a car accident, and the aunt moved into a house that had been vacant for many years, where Xiaoya and Arwen accidentally found the chess box that sucked Aaron. Inadvertently triggered the game, only to continue the game of Aaron. After my sister Xiaoya rolled the dice for the first time, she released a swarm of mosquitoes the size of an adult's fist. The younger brother rolls the dice for the first time, releasing a bunch of monkeys that are wreaking havoc, and he gets a chance to roll the dice again. He rolled a 5, and a lion and Aaron, who had been imprisoned by the chessboard world for 25 years, ran out. ”
Lin Youlun drank coffee while trying to recall the plot development of the film in his mind.
Aaron skillfully subdued the lion, only to find that the world outside was already a matter of people, and because of the large number of wild animals attracted by the game, they wreaked havoc in the city. Under the mobilization of Xiaoya and Xiaowen, Alun found Xiaomin and decided that the four of them would work together to carry out the game to the end. The dice are rolled again and again, and all kinds of disaster dangers appear one after another. The four of them fought it with wit and bravery, and finally Aaron's chess piece reached the end. The game is over, and Aaron and Min are back 25 years ago. ”
Zhou Yimin was immersed in this story for a long time, and it was not until Lin Youlun patted her on the shoulder and signaled that it was time for the two to go to dinner, and she came back to her senses.
When they walked into the elevator together, Zhou Comemin couldn't help but ask: "When you grow up Alun, you are going to let Fa Ge play it, so who are you going to let play Alun when you were a child?" ”
Lin Youlun pressed the close button, turned his head to Zhou Comin and said, "Didn't Deborah ask you for this?" When he was a child, Alun asked Xie Tingfeng to act. ”
"But isn't that character's role a little less?"
"It's not a problem to have fewer scenes, the key is to see who will play this role when it grows up, and explain the situation clearly to Deborah, I believe she will be satisfied with this role arrangement."
Stepping out of the elevator, the two continued to discuss the issue.
"But the premise is that Fa Ge agrees to appear in this movie." When he got in the car, Zhou Comin said this.
Lin Youlun helped Zhou Yimin close the car door.
"This is also a gift I gave Fa Ge before he went to Hollywood, and he has no reason to refuse this movie."
——
The knife in Chen Huilian's hand fell on the plate, making a crisp sound.
"You quarreled with Mr. Lin?" Chen Huilian stared at Zhou Yanfa with wide eyes, her expression looking incredulous.
"It's not as serious as you think, it's just that there are some differences of opinion, so it may be a little unpleasant, and it will be fine in two days." Zhou Yanfa shrugged nonchalantly.
But the more Zhou Yanfa looked relaxed like this, the more worried Chen Huilian became.
"Or is it because you're going to go to Hollywood?"
While cutting the steak, Zhou Yunfa said: "Yes, Mr. Lin thinks that I will not have any big improvement in the past, and suggests that I should stay in Hong Kong to develop." ”
Zhou Yunfa made up his mind to go to Hollywood, one of the important reasons is Chen Huilian's support, I heard that Lin Youlun opposed Zhou Yanfa to go to Hollywood to develop, Chen Huilian suddenly hesitated.
"Why don't you put this off the rails?"
Chen Huilian mentioned it to Zhou Runfa in a consultative tone, but she didn't expect Zhou Runfa's attitude to be very resolute this time.
"Wait for another two years, I won't have any advantage in the past, and now in the past, even if I really fail as Mr. Lin said, I can continue to work hard when I come back to Hong Kong, if two years later, there may be no place for me in the Hong Kong entertainment industry after I come back."
Zhou Yanfa's tone was quite resolute if he was unsuccessful, and Chen Huilian finally couldn't help but complain about Lin Youlun's wrong.
"Mr. Lin is really, you have such a good relationship with him, why is he unwilling to help you in this matter?"
"He's also kind, and he doesn't want to see me busy in vain." Zhou Yunfa didn't have too many complaints about Lin Youlun, on the contrary, Lin Youlun's attitude became more and more determined that he wanted to make a name for himself in Hollywood and prove his idea to the other party.
"You quarrel with Mr. Lin, this matter will still have some impact, and his influence in Hollywood has been expanding in the past two years, even if you go to Hollywood, you still need more help from him...... No, I'll call Honggu and ask her to come forward to help mediate? Chen Huilian's mind changed for a while, just now she was complaining about Lin Youlun, but now she wants to help Zhou Yanfa repair the relationship with Lin Youlun.
"It's really not as serious as you think, and Mr. Lin won't be such a stingy person." Zhou Yunfa believes in Lin Youlun's personality, so he said so.
If Lin Youlun was an ordinary person, Chen Huilian would probably be persuaded by Zhou Yunfa, but Lin Youlun is not an ordinary person, his identity and status are there, if Zhou Youfa does not handle this matter well, he may really offend the other party.
"No, I'll call Honggu now and tell her about it."
Chen Huilian took out the big brother and was about to fight, but Zhou Yanfa stopped her.
"Okay, if you're really not at ease, I'll call Mr. Lin now to explain."
Zhou Yunfa said and took the phone in Chen Huilian's hand, and dialed Lin Youlun's number.
When they received a call from Zhou Yan, Lin Youlun and Zhou were eating at a French restaurant.
Lin Youlun covered the microphone and whispered to Zhou Yimin that it was Zhou Run's call, and then let go of his hand, smiled into the microphone and said, "Brother Fa, such a coincidence, I was about to call you, so you called first." ”
Zhou Yanfa was stunned for a moment, not understanding what Lin Youlun was looking for at him at this time.
"After you left, I thought about it for a while, you go to Hollywood to develop, as a friend, I should advise you, but I shouldn't stop you, but before you go to Hollywood, I want you to help me make a movie first."
After Lin Youlun finished talking about his thoughts on the phone, Zhou Yanfa's heart moved, and he immediately understood what Lin Youlun meant.
Lin Youlun wanted to give him another gift before he left, but he didn't know if this gift would bring him a surprise.
"It's okay to film, but we have to say it first, if it's a movie like "The Shawshank Redemption" or "The True Color of Heroes" that takes more than a year to make, I have the right to refuse."
Zhou Yunfa knew that Lin Youlun had good intentions, but he was also worried that Lin Youlun "deliberately" dragged himself with a movie, and finally made him unable to go to Hollywood.
"Don't worry, this time it's a very relaxed commercial film, the shooting time is about three months, of course, post-production may take a long time, so ah, if you think that this movie can be released soon, in order to increase some capital for your own development in Hollywood, dispel this idea as soon as possible." was so suspicious of Zhou Runfa, Lin Youlun naturally wanted to tease him.
After Zhou Yunfa heard "post-production will be very long", there was a bang in his head, and he didn't listen to what Lin Youlun said later.
The meaning behind this sentence is very clear - a commercial film, and it takes a lot of time for post-production, it must be a special effects blockbuster.
And this kind of movie is exactly what Zhou Yan found to be the most wanted to participate in the shooting.
Remembering that he had misunderstood Lin Youlun before, Zhou Yunfa was even more embarrassed in his heart.
"Brother Fa, I didn't mean anything else when I asked you to make this film, I just want you to see the fact that staying in Asia can also make blockbusters comparable to Hollywood movies...... I don't expect this movie to change your mind, I just hope you can get some insights from it, which will also help you to develop in Hollywood. (To be continued......)
