In the imagination and understanding of quite a few people in this world, the financial industry and the securities industry are relatively mysterious, and the practitioners are basically synonymous with high education and high intelligence, and they are all tall existences. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

This is a cognitive bias, according to those professional senior stockbrokers, finance does not need to be more professional, but it needs to be very smart, but smart is not used to the right road, that is, the ruffian becomes the financial elite, this is nothing special, finance and securities is an industry that is easy to go the wrong way.

The threshold for financial employment at the bottom of Wall Street is actually very low, and the bottom practitioners do manual work, and those who can do technical work are the elites at the top.

If you think about it, what kind of special technology is needed for such a job as pulling customers? Every day is to keep calling customers, and the financial background is just to use some professional terms to fool customers when pulling customers, which sounds professional and easy to pull customers.

Reliable companies will have a technical team to analyze, the buying and selling points are still based, unreliable companies, pull customers to buy and sell as much as possible after pulling customers, and get their own handling fees, of course, the more the better.

So don't think that the financial industry is lofty, elite, especially account managers, from ordinary customers to account managers, is from flickering to big flickering.

In the 70s and 80s in the United States, due to the lack of government regulation and scientific and technological restrictions, the Jordan-Belfort situation was a very common situation, and it was an absolute financial fraud, but the investigation was too difficult, and the relevant laws and regulations were not perfect.

Like Jordan Belfort, how do you regulate communications, how do you regulate accounts and account assets in an era when even major transactions are done with paper money and telephones?

However, since the mid-to-late nineties, especially since the rapid development of electronic computers in the new century, this method has become completely obsolete.

In particular, the new high-frequency trading strategy, which uses state-of-the-art computers to trade at tenths, hundredths, thousandths, or even millionths of a second, has become almost a thing of the past.

"Jordan Belfort intermediaries are not yet the most elite layer in the financial industry, because they are strictly only intermediaries and earn intermediary commissions."

After Gal Gadot read the script, Murphy said, "There's a saying that 'only those who are close to money can make money', so it is said that Wall Street will almost never make the most money with such intermediaries, but they are better than stability, and most of the myths of getting rich overnight are owned by traders, fund managers, private equity, and venture capital." However, overnight bankruptcy is also about this group of people, the real elite in the financial industry belongs to the typical stuffy head to make a lot of money, a private equity with a scale of hundreds of millions of dollars, outside of practitioners, even many practitioners have never heard of it at all. ”

Gal Gadot nodded and said, "I remember the original Jordan Belfort book had a saying, 'When a big company like Merrill Lynch comes in, we won't have a chance.'" ”

"They can't compare to Merrill Lynch." Murphy wouldn't be stupid enough to think that this 'wolf of Wall Street' would really be the master of Wall Street.

Although Jordan Belfort has achieved a considerable scale, in the end the amount of fraud is only more than 100 million US dollars, even if inflation is taken into account, it will not exceed 500 million US dollars at most, which is still much worse than the real financial giants.

Finance is a kind of wealth redistribution, not wealth creation, it is a zero-sum game, to put it bluntly, how to stuff money from other people's pockets into your own pockets.

Murphy still remembers that when he was in college, there were three words in school: the stock market and finance—high, big, and up.

An alumnus who graduated before him, because of the general relationship of the school where they worked, couldn't find a suitable job in the film and television industry, and was later approached by a friend and pulled to a securities company as an agent.

The basic salary of 1800rmb during the internship period, there was no commission for the first three months, he did it for one year and nine months, and earned 60,000 oceans in one month at most, and he didn't dare to go out to eat when he was chased by customers at the worst time.

The first job was to make phone calls, according to the list provided by the company, the list was bought from the major first- and second-tier city real estate companies and car 4S stores, and after two months of calling, he was transferred to be a customer service, and the penguins were foolish.

The company has a group of former traders like Jordan Belfort who have been given various awesome titles, and they call them mentors......

In some ways, Jordan Belfort's autobiography is right—ruffian, scoundrel, rogue, thief, liar......

In the words of the other side of the Pacific, fooling has always been a very lucrative skill.

In any case, with the help of Wall Street professionals, Murphy and his team of writers were able to complete the scenes on finance and securities in the script.

Murphy also set the tone for the future film – a black comedy that is extremely wild and satirical.

In the ensuing time, the hired screenwriters continued to fill in the framework of the outline he set, and Murphy modified the beginning of the script, changing the original sequential narrative to the previous flashback, and I have to admit that such a biographical film is more suitable for using flashbacks to narrate.

In a general sense, the opening scene is to describe the beginning of the story of the movie, but just as there is a flashback in the narrative technique of narrative in literature, there is also a flashback in the opening scene of the movie.

Some films will deliberately intercept a certain clip in the middle of the story's development and put it at the beginning, and as for the later story, this will slowly transition to this clip, and explain the follow-up story of the clip, which is quite a winding path.

The advantage of this technique is that it can enrich the story structure of the film, create more dramatic conflict and tension, and it is also conducive to mobilizing the audience's thinking, so that the audience will not feel bored because the plot is simple and easy to understand.

At the same time, Murphy is still thinking about the actors, and after communicating with Robert Downey Jr. and Jonah Hill several times, it is basically confirmed that these two people will play Jordan Belfort and his best friend Doni Azoff respectively.

However, the specific remuneration will have to wait for Twentieth Century Fox to review the project and officially determine the investment amount of the film.

With the corresponding value of Robert Downey Jr. and Jonah Hill, the combined salary of the two men is enough for 20 million dollars.

It was not until mid-March that the first draft of the script was completed, and since Murphy only provided the outline template, most of the actual content was hired by the screenwriters who were responsible for each piece, this kind of assembly-line screenwriting creation can undoubtedly greatly improve efficiency and save time, but the final review must be checked by Murphy in order to find out the problems in time.

For a script like this kind of assembly line, the leader must self-check.

The first item of self-examination is the protagonist, Murphy will look at all the scenes in which the protagonist participates, check whether the protagonist Jordan Belfort is active enough in the plot written by the screenwriters, the protagonist of a movie must firmly grasp the control and never give up the struggle, a passive protagonist can never attract the audience.

This can be said to be one of the foundations for shaping the character, even Frodo Baggins, who was cheated by Gandalf, became active at the meeting of King Elrond.

Not to mention Hollywood, which has an extremely mature industrial chain, even the other side of the Pacific knows how to follow this basic principle, such as the famous "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf", the Big Big Wolf is very popular, because he has a character trait that becomes a popular protagonist: never give up, be proactive, always stick to his goal and never waver, is to catch the sheep.

Even if he is hit, interrupted, and obstructed by various things, the gray wolf will not give up the goal of catching sheep, so there will be a call in the market to marry the gray wolf, which is actually inseparable from his relatively successful character building.

In the second aspect of self-examination, Murphy wants to make sure that Jordan Belfort is always in the audience's sight, even if there are scenes where he is not seen, but it is still about him.

If the supporting characters and the audience spend more time than the protagonist, then it's time to consider writing a separate script for the supporting characters, and this film may also hit the streets.

Then there are the dialogues of all the characters, that is, the lines, and Murphy asks each screenwriter to read the lines he is responsible for writing out loud, both to him and to themselves, and if all the dialogue sounds like one person speaking, then the script definitely needs to be overhauled.

After seeing the protagonist, the supporting role cannot be ignored, which is also the key link that Murphy focused on when setting the outline template, even if it is a supporting role, it must have a specific character that attracts the audience, which will greatly improve the overall level of the script.

Finally, Murphy had to ask lawyer Robert to review the script in order to uncover the legal issues related to Jordan Belfort.

The other is to avoid some copyright conflicts.

Script writing itself is a kind of commercial behavior, the writing process is not completely original, or clean, only the possibility of a personal spark of inspiration is very small, Hollywood script assembly, most of the structure of the work is actually the same, such as a very weak protagonist, after hard work, get all kinds of opportunities, and finally stand in the high-end field of society......

There is no new and old in its entire mode and routine, only the difference in details, such as the protagonist's personality, behavior pattern, and opportunities encountered, which are presented to the audience little by little in what way.

With Robert, an experienced lawyer, there are basically not too many problems in this regard.

After reviewing the script, Murphy sent it to Carla Firth as soon as possible, and Twentieth Century Fox went through the review process, and before the review was completed, someone specifically approached Murphy to invest in the film. (To be continued.) )
