Jeffrey raised his hands and said with a look of frustration and stubbornness, "You want fair play, and I can't stop you, but ...... I can't continue to talk to you about the script anymore. ”

"So you chose to be on Roland's side." Lance's calm words did not carry any emotional color, but it made Jeffrey raise his head suddenly, frowning, "I don't ......" subconsciously wanted to deny it, but before the words came out, he couldn't help but stop at his mouth, Lance's blue eyes made all his justifications disappear, because he knew that it was the truth.

"It's not fair." Jeffrey clutched his head in chagrin.

"It's really not fair." Lance agreed, but it was such a simple sentence that hit Jeffrey hard, because Jeffrey clearly understood that ...... script of "the day after tomorrow" was constantly being revised and perfected to the current stage, and it was a long way of getting Lance's help.

Lance had made a number of comments that Jeffrey thought were great ideas, but they were all rejected by Roland, and the script never satisfied Mark. In the last few days, Jeffrey plans to revise the script according to Lance's opinion, and then see how the finished product will look, and then convince Roland, and finally hope to convince Mark.

But if that were the case, Jeffrey would not be able to use Lance's opinion—he and Roland would go back to square one, where they were constantly arguing; But if you use Lance's opinion, but give the script to Roland and side with Roland, it is unfair to Lance.

Jeffrey just felt like his head was going to explode, and the feeling of the tangled rush was so bad that he couldn't even think about it.

"Jeffrey," Lance's shout made Jeffrey jerk his head up, his eyes blank, "Mark didn't say that your script was going to be replaced entirely, nor did he say that you were going to change the screenwriter, he just wanted me to have some comments." So, why don't you give it a try, write a version of the script as Roland had it intended, and then write a version of the script as I suggested, or I do the revisions, and it's the same, and see what Mark ends up choosing. ”

"What do you mean...... Do you want me to abandon Roland and stay alone in order to keep my job? Jeffrey looked at Lance incredulously, even more surprised than he had just heard the shocking news. Lance was almost exhorting him to betray Roland, which was unacceptable to Jeffrey!

Lance shook his head, "You're wrong, whether it's me or Roland as the ultimate director, you'll stay." Because Mark had no intention of replacing you in the first place. "Of course, if you are willing to live and die with Roland for the sake of righteousness, I think there are only two results of your script, one is to be bought by Twentieth Century Fox and then modified, and your name is added to the screenwriter's column; One is to be completely overturned, the entire project to be rebuilt, must be started from scratch, but ...... Who can guarantee that it will be completely different from your script? ”

Jeffrey felt his head turn a little, and a barrage of information had turned his head into a pot of mush. Lance went around and looked at Jeffrey and said seriously, "I'm begging for a chance to play fair, and the script is also written according to the framework of your story, and then divided into Roland's version and mine, which one can impress Mark and fair play." I believe that even Roland is willing to accept such a challenge, don't you have confidence in his strength? ”

Jeffrey felt that what Lance said was very reasonable, and he couldn't find a reason to refute it for a while, "But ......" But Roland's current script is the source of the dispute, and it is also the reason why Mark is looking for others, the so-called fair play is actually unfair.

"We all know it's the script that's wrong, and now it's up to us to see who can write a better script. Jeffrey, I'm asking for a chance to fight the odds. Lance's words made the last trace of doubt in Jeffrey's heart disappear, he took a deep breath, looked up at Lance, gritted his teeth and hesitated, and finally let out a long breath, "I know." ”

Lance let out a long breath as well, as if he had unloaded a burden, "I think it would be cruel to ask you to write my script. So, according to the framework of your script, I wrote out my ideological structure and my thoughts on the plot, and then sorted it out and handed it to Mark. As for the final choice, it's not something I can control. ”

Jeffrey nodded, but his mind was still a mush, and he didn't know what he should say, and seeing Lance turn around and leave, he subconsciously shouted, "Lance." This made Lance's footsteps stop, and he had a hesitant and tangled expression, but he couldn't open his mouth at all.

In the end, it was Lance who helped him solve this pain, "What are you going to use for the comments we made about the script last time?" ”

"Yes......" But before the words were uttered, Jeffrey realized that something was wrong, bared his teeth, and waved his hand, "Roland and I will figure it out." I just wanted to ask...... "Jeffrey found that it was really unfair to Lance, because Lance shared most of his ideas and ideas with him, and he agreed that if he could convince Roland to accept it, then Lance was the one who could not do anything. This thought made Jeffrey unable to speak at all, his brows tightly tangled together, and a pained expression on his face, "Did you really decide to divide the second half into two main lines?" ”

Lance chuckled, "Jeffrey, don't worry, I knew what I was up against after I nodded yes in the office this morning. I just want to try it as best I can, and let it run its course. So, you can safely ask me, but I can't guarantee that I have no reservations right now. ”

This frank gentleman's appearance made Jeffrey laugh and scratch his head, "I mean, wouldn't it be too bloated if you ended up arranging two lines?" As parents embark on a journey to save their children, how do they converge? Sam's father, Jack, we set it up, he travels long distances through the snow, which makes sense; But what about the other parents? They have different starting places, different hardware, and at the same time, they will take up part of the time to explain the problem, which will only make the plot too bloated, weaken the sense of rhythm, and the high/tide may not be as good as expected. ”

Obviously, Jeffrey has been thinking about this question for the past two days, and the story is clear and coherent.

If Lance wanted to prevent Roland from knowing what he was thinking, he should have avoided talking about it, but Lance knew that in order to really achieve his goal, he had to impress Jeffrey and really get Jeffrey on his side. Unlike Roland's friendship, Lance needs to rely on real materials to impress Jeffrey. So, he had no intention of hiding it.

"The meeting of the parents is not a problem at all, it can be solved very easily, Jack and they set off, and they accidentally meet a group of people in the snowfield - because they set off from the same place to the same destination, Jack originally thought that they were the stragglers of the retreating army, but unexpectedly found that they were the parents of Sam's classmates, and everyone had the same purpose. Of course, they can argue, because everyone else is an amateur and has a high chance of dying in a blizzard, but the greatness of family affection makes them agree. ”

Lance's explanation was clear, and Jeffrey suddenly realized, excitedly saying, "That's the core emotion of the whole movie." "Through guò's parents' quarrels, exchanges and crises, the family relationship is further sublimated. This is undoubtedly a simple but ingenious way, and according to Lance's way, there is no need to increase the number of scenes to invisibly integrate the plot into the main story line. Not only will it not become bloated, but it will make the conflict more persuasive.

"That'...... And what about the New York feeder? Children need to be in danger, otherwise it's boring to hide in the library all the time, but do you have to create so much conflict? This will make the high/low of the plot always waver. Jeffrey felt his whole brain come alive, and his thoughts flowed like a wellspring. It's very different from the state of the morning!

"It's the director's job." Lance ended all doubts in one sentence, while advancing in two lines, it will not weaken the plot, but step by step to highlight the high/tide, it depends on the director's skills, "What's more, the children are hiding in the library, which witnesses the contradictions between races and ages." In addition, the children encounter more and more dangers, and even make Sam and others injured, which increases the suspense and makes the high/high of the ending more powerful! ”

Jeffrey suddenly stopped talking, and his mind began to think seriously. The problem that the script of "The Day After Tomorrow" is slightly weak in the second half is also an important part that Mark has not been very satisfied with, but Lance's method is so painful that he almost completely changes the framework of the second half, which makes Roland never agree. But now it seems that Lance's method, while cumbersome, is the most effective and can make the film more appealing.

Raising his head, Jeffrey looked at Lance in front of him, and the sound of admiration had already come to his mouth, although he knew that Lance was very talented, but at this time he was once again amazed by Lance, and his control of the overall situation of the script was really good, even if it was a story structure like a disaster movie that had almost no room to play, Lance could show his skills.

Lance saw the excitement in Jeffrey's eyes, and knew that today's task had been accomplished, he quickly raised his hand and said with a smile, "I refuse to speak again about other details, in order to keep me competitive, it is wisest for me to turn away." ”

Jeffrey couldn't help but be stunned, and after his brain calmed down, he realized what a formidable opponent Roland was facing. Perhaps, Lance is more suitable for the script of "The Day After Tomorrow", and the two of them can always collide with countless sparks, especially the resonance of the two "novices"; Roland, on the other hand, always thinks that he is a fledgling novice, and many of his ideas are too radical and unrealistic, and the conversation is always not smooth. But...... It's just a maybe.

Taking a deep breath, Jeffrey looked at Lance, who was leaving in style, and forced himself to withdraw his attention, he should at least talk to Roland first.
