After a brief pleasantries, everyone was led by the host Evan to a separate conference room next door.

As soon as he sat down, producer Paul said straight to the point: "Ke, although I am surprised by your youth and handsomeness, I believe in Old John's vision, so this time I brought the script of the movie, and I hope you can give some suggestions in the action scenes." ”

After speaking, Paul distributed the prepared script to everyone present, and pointed out the sub-shot part of the action to Ke Zihua, explaining: "This is the last finalized script before the start of filming, and the action part was made by John all night. ”

This is a remake of the film adaptation, the original film was "Shaft" starring black movie star Richard Rondetyi in 1971. Before the release of this film, Hollywood was the world of white heroes, and it was the classic image of the black detective played by Richard Rondt that made everyone accept this black hero and become a classic film loved by the public.

The plot of the story is very simple, mainly about the murder of a black student by Walt, a young man, who is arrested by a black agent nicknamed "Black Panther". However, because his father was a wealthy and powerful businessman, Walter was freed again after paying bail, and vowed not to kill the Panther.

And those who want to take the life of the panther are also police colleagues who are in the same league as the criminals, and Dominican drug lords who have been humiliated by the panthers.

In addition to evading the pursuit of drug lords, the Black Panther also has to find and protect the witnesses who have long since disappeared, and finally succeed in protecting the witnesses with his efforts and the help of his friends, and bring Walter to justice.

After reading the main plot, Ke Zihua continued to read the script of the action scenes, and after reading all the sub-scenes in one go, Ke Zihua found that everyone else had already finished reading the script and was waiting for him quietly.

Seeing that he had finished reading the script, John couldn't wait to ask, "Ke, have you finished reading it?" How does it feel? The script is well written, right? ”

Ke Zihua put down the script and answered truthfully: "Feeling? Not so good. ”

John immediately became anxious, jumped up all of a sudden, and said excitedly, "What? Not so good? I asked Richard Prese to polish it! He's a very famous action writer! ”

Producer Paul listened to Ke Zihua's opinion, thought for a moment and said, "Hey, John, don't worry, shouldn't we listen to Ke's opinion?" ”

Evan also advised: "Sit down and listen to what he has to say." ”

John was really angry, waved his big hand, and shouted, "Can I not be in a hurry? Filming is about to start, but this little guy says my script is not very good?! ”

"You know, in order to do the action part, I not only asked my friend to help me polish last night, but I also talked to him on the phone all night! This is the most important movie of my life! ”

"Now the young action director I have high hopes and hired with a high salary actually says that my script is not very good?!"

The more John spoke, the more excited he became, and when he said that Ke Zihua was the action director he hired personally, he also accentuated his tone, especially when he was "young", and even knocked on the table with his thick fingers.

Ke Zihua is also very embarrassed, but he does feel that this script is not very good, the action design is old-fashioned and outdated, and there is nothing new, and the most important thing is that there are too many action sub-shots in the script!

Although he had a good impression of John, his rude behavior greatly annoyed Ke Zihua. Before John could finish his sentence, he slapped the table hard, and then stood up.

This attracted everyone's attention, and even John closed his mouth in shock, and there was only one thought in everyone's hearts: "How dare he?" How dare you slap the table with John? He's a director! ”

The whole conference room suddenly fell silent, and Ke Zihua said: "Director John, I know that this is a movie that you fought against the water, and it means a lot to you, but it also means a lot to me, because this is my first movie in Hollywood." ”

Seeing that John calmed down a little, he continued: "I'll just say one question, a ninety-minute movie, there are more than a dozen action scenes, have you calculated how much time these shots take? ”

After speaking, Ke Zihua sat down and stopped speaking, quietly waiting for John's answer.

John's expression was very rich, and Ke Zihua pointed out this key issue that he ignored, which made him blush after being a director for many years.

But when I think of the hard work and effort I have put in, and I think of the wonderful action scenes that I personally designed and found a master to polish, I am reluctant to cut any of them.

For a while, shame, reluctance, and helplessness were mixed together, making his whole face look painful.

At this time, Paul also figured out the crux of the problem, it must be John who used his director's will to sway his friend, so that this unprofessional situation occurred.

At the same time, he also cared more about Ke Zihua's opinion, and hurriedly asked, "Then what do you think should be done now?" ”

"Delete!"

"Cut out at least five to eight of the sixteen storyboards, leave only the best ones, and then do your best to shoot the ones that remain!"

John, who was struggling in the chair, listened to Ke Zihua's words, his eyes lit up and regained his former look, and he hurriedly asked, "Can you tell me in detail?" How do you want to shoot? ”

Ke Zihua didn't take John's rudeness to heart just now, he knew that this was John's dedication to the creation of the film, and he had great hopes for this film, so he was so excited.

Ke Zihua pointed to the script on the table and said: "For example, in the two sub-shots on the first page, you designed the drug trafficker to use parkour to jump off the building to escape, and then the protagonist chased after him, and he also chased the drug dealer in the same way, right?" ”

"yes, it would look pretty cool!"

Ke Zihua slapped his head and asked helplessly: "This seems to be a movie about the integrity and courage of black police detectives and the accusation of racial discrimination, right?" If you want to be like you, won't it become an extreme sports-themed film? ”

Seeing that John Leng stopped talking there, Ke Zihua continued: "There is also the highlight of late-night drag racing, although the plot design is a classic, don't you think this setting is too old-fashioned and boring?" ”

Speaking of excitement, Ke Zihua also knocked on the table with his fingers excitedly, "What about the highlights?" What are the highlights? ”

"How can a recurring action shot with no bright spots attract the audience's attention? How can you make people scream and scream? ”

Then, Ke Zihua directly said the point, "If you can't fully trust me just because I'm young, then I refuse to participate in the production of this film!" ”

Listening to his explanation, John also panicked, indeed as Ke Zihua said, although he hired Ke Zihua as an action director, he still felt that he was too young, afraid that he was just a child who could play a few jugglers, and he couldn't control the overall situation well, so he started to do the action design himself.

According to his thoughts, he is already very promoting Ke Zihua, and after the movie is released in the future, it will undoubtedly make Ke Zihua famous.

But now he found that he was very wrong, and his friend persuaded him to divide the scene too much, but the stubborn John did not listen to his friend's advice, and now it seems that Ke Zihua is much more professional than him, and what is more commendable is that he is more advanced than his friend in concept.

Now even Paul can see that the two of them attach great importance to this movie, which is why there is such a fierce quarrel, and hurriedly persuade from the side: "Aha, look, look, I'm really happy for you, and I have every reason to believe that when this film is finished, it will be an absolute classic." ”

"Because you're the best mate, old John, I envy you for finding such a good helper."

Evan also smiled and said: "Yes, after listening to Ke's Jianyi, I am very much looking forward to its premiere." Old John, you must send me an invitation to the premiere. ”

John scratched his dark bald head embarrassedly, then showed a bright smile, stretched out his right hand to Ke Zihua, and said sincerely: "I admit that it was my fault, I hope you can understand, I did it all for this movie." ”

Ke Zihua smiled calmly, and then also stretched out his right hand and said, "One qiē for the movie." ”

"That's right, a qiē for the movie!"

There was a hearty burst of laughter in the conference room that had just been tense, and then several men of different ages, skin colors, and nationalities began to discuss enthusiastically.

It wasn't until dark that they ended their discussion, and Paul patted Ke Zihua on the shoulder with satisfaction and said, "Ke, I'm glad you can join the production of this movie, I believe it will be a wonderful movie." ”

Ke Zihua said modestly: "I am also honored to join this team. ”

Then he turned to the elated John and said, "Hey, you're a good director!" ”

Now John felt even more embarrassed, and smirked: "One qiē for the movie, haha." ”

Then he walked over and touched Ke Zihua's fist, and praised happily: "I knew that choosing you was the most correct decision I made." ”

So, the three middle-aged men celebrated, although Ke Zihua was hungry enough, but there was no way that he couldn't drink at his age, so he had to sit in the sofa and drink cold mineral water.

Fortunately, Tina prepared a working meal and invited them to the restaurant, which freed Ke Zihua and allowed him to escape the torture of several old drunkards.

After dinner, Ke Zihua suddenly thought of Kou Bi's matter, and hurriedly found Kou Bi's photo album from the sofa, and recommended her to the director of the film, the producer of the Hollywood giant company, and the CEO of the service company.

The three of them also had a good impression of Koubi, and promised to give priority to the opportunity, John said even more bluntly: "The protagonists of this play have been decided, but it's no problem to play a supporting role, which role do you think he should play?" ”

Of course, it's the colleague who plays Black Panther, the upright policewoman! Ke Zihua is deeply impressed by the female agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. played by Kou Bi, and if she can play this policewoman, it will definitely add a lot of color to the film.

It's just that Evan said with a bitter face: "That's the role of promising my niece." ”

Ke Zihua was also very speechless about this, but he didn't expect to dig up the corner of the wall and dig up Evan's body, but Paul Jian said: "Why don't I introduce Tina to play another film, and let this role be played by Ke's little lover." ”

Evan didn't dispute this, he knew that his niece just wanted to play the ticket, and it didn't matter what he played, so he agreed to Paul's suggestion.

Then, Ke Zihua couldn't stand it, the old men's teasing eyes and unscrupulous ridicule, and he fled helplessly.

The three of them drank all the ice wine in the glass, and John happily praised: "I really like him more and more, what a great young man." ”

Ke Zihua, who had already sat on the bus, couldn't help sneezing, only feeling a cold back, and muttered in a low voice: "It's cold, I need to wear more in the future." ”
