018 Embark on the adaptation
Lance sat cross-legged in front of the windowsill, surrounded by a mess of white paper, the outline of a vintage typewriter visible beneath a thick pile of messy paper, and the blurred ink prints everywhere added to the confusion. Lance did not notice what was going on around him, and waved his hands in the air in an irregular manner, sometimes pausing abruptly and falling into thought; Sometimes he makes the appearance of carrying a camera in the void to shoot, trying to find a more suitable angle.
Writing a script is not an easy task, never has been, and Lance has a clear understanding of this. If it was Lance who had not received an orthodox script education in the previous life, even if he was talented, it would be very difficult to complete the script creation, and the script of "Good Night, Good Luck" was written by Lance and George, and the script of "City of God" took three years and only pushed a third.
But now things have changed, and Reims, who has regained his life, has more advantages and accumulation. Putting aside the crucial life experience and social experience, Lance's thirteen years of life in New York were very rewarding.
Lance has been on Broadway and Broadway for a long time, and for a variety of reasons, the most important of which is financial constraints, they have to do everything they can to create their works here, or even get closer to winning the opportunity to be on stage, from the director to the screenwriter to the actors, and even the props, costumes, music and other delicate things need to be done by themselves.
Not only did Lance experience many years in the field, but he also audited in the film department of Columbia University.
Film education at university is a lot of fun, and they work in small groups for students to form a film crew and work together on a semester project. But at the same time, it will also allow students to experience the knowledge of different positions - this time as a cinematographer in the crew, then the next time as a director, and the next time they have to complete the production work.
The purpose of this approach is not to make students omnipotent, but to let students understand the different nature of work in each position, and finally let students find the most suitable position for themselves.
Before he was born, Lance worked with a group of juniors on a project that he directed and wrote, which was a huge success on campus and earned him the opportunity to perform on Off-Broadway. Therefore, even though Lance works two jobs at the same time, he is still unwilling to give up lightly. For more than two months in a row, he slept less than three hours a day, and perhaps because of this, he was so exhausted that he died suddenly, from 2015 to 2002.
Even so, the adaptation of the script for "City of God" is still not so simple. The biggest highlight of this script is that it is real and temperate. The story of the script covers three eras before and after, involving dozens of different characters, and the amount of information is huge, and it is incredibly difficult to include in a movie script.
What Lance had to do was not just condense the stories into a single script, but also condense them just right. Luckily, Lance had seen the work "City of God" in his previous two lives and was particularly impressed, which helped a lot in the script adaptation work.
In the process of writing the script, Lance involuntarily conjured up the vivid images in his mind, the barren, dirty, real, dramatic, and powerful that was halfway between documentaries and feature films, which gradually evolved into cinematic images - and even scenes of life, which came to him, and then helped Lance continue to complete the adaptation of the script.
After devoting himself to his work, all other cluttered thoughts in his mind were temporarily discarded, and he didn't need to think about the diorama films, the next shooting of "City of God", or the way he should choose to make a comeback, just devoted himself to the creation of the script. That familiar enthusiasm flows slowly in the blood, and even makes people forget the passage of time, which is really a pleasure.
"Lance!" With a chaotic sound of the door opening, a shout exploded like thunder on the ground, reverberating throughout the room.
"Get out!" Lance didn't even raise his head, frowned slightly, and roared back.
There was a crackle, and the sound of debris falling to the ground made people irritated, "Lance, dear Lance! Lovely Lance! Not only did the shouting not stop, but it intensified, and began to cry out in all sorts of calls, as if calling for a pet cat.
"Get out of here!" Reims is full of black lines.
The voice seemed to be angry, too, and roared directly, "Hell, Lancelot! Where the are you? The voice traveled from the living room to the study.
Lance also went berserk, and finally raised his head, and his mind detached from the story of the "City of God", as if he had quit the game. Lance was in a very bad mood when he was disturbed from work, and he was about to look back to see who was making trouble, when the hearty laughter came from behind him, "Haha, you are here!" The earth-shattering laughter was like thunder, and it made Lance's eardrums buzz.
Before Lance turned around, a black shadow was directly pressed down, and a fluffy brown bear directly hugged Lance from behind, then picked him up, and then put him on the ground. Lance didn't even have time to react to the pain, let alone fight back, before he felt the big fan-like hands smash down on his head, almost squeezing all the air out of his lungs. The hearty and playful laughter was like beating a drum, and it attacked Lance's eardrums continuously.
"Gawaine-Strelow!" Lance finally reacted at this time, and shouted through gritted teeth. Originally, Lance was about to give the other party a hard blow, but after understanding who the person was, Lance directly gave up resistance and sat obediently in place, looking loveless - compared to an active professional rugby player? Lance didn't think he had any chance of winning, and it was wisest to give up.
The visitor happily ravaged Lance's hair, but soon found that Lance did not resist at all, which suddenly became boring, "Little one, why don't you resist?" It's so boring, like I'm bullying a child. β
Lance said calmly, "I'm thinking about calling Theo to talk about it later." β
Hearing the name "Theo", Gawain immediately jumped up like an electric shock, not only let go of Lance, but also clumsily began to help Lance fix his hair, and sat in front of Lance with a flattering smile, "Lovely Lance, handsome Lance, kind Lance, you won't sue SΓΉTheo?" Right? Right? β
The man standing in front of Lance, his long dark brown hair was casually pulled into a ball head, but it did not look feminine at all, on the contrary, revealing a wild sexuality and domineering, the rough and messy stubble of the chin decorated the slightly cute baby face, and a pair of bright dark blue eyes under the messy and rough eyebrows, with the tall and strong figure, the strong and wild athlete temperament came to the face.
This is Lance's third brother, Gawain.
Lance's parents died when he was three years old, and because he had no close relatives to adopt, he was sent to the Child Welfare Bureau and grew up in foster care. The children in foster care always came and went, and few could stay long, but fortunately, four foster children, including Lance, persevered, with Gawain being one and Theodore-Strelow being the other. Theodore was the eldest of the four brothers, Chinese New Year's Eve and Eight.
Gawain's birthday is only a month older than Lance's, but he has always regarded himself as his "older brother". Unlike Lance, Gawain is now a professional player for the NFL Green Bay Packers, playing as a close end, and has been a member of the packers since joining the league in 1991, and he also won the Super Bowl with the team as a regular in 1997, and is currently one of the top stockers in the league.
Lance pouted, "You're sitting on my script." Gawain jumped directly into the air, almost making people mistakenly think that there was an extra hedgehog on the ground. Looking at Gawain, who was smiling incomparably flattering in front of him, Lance resisted the urge to roll his eyes, "Why did you come here suddenly?" Summer in Green Bay is much more comfortable than in Los Angeles. β
"The new season is about to start, it's pre-season next week, don't you remember?" Gawain looked at Lance with a strange expression, and Lance's usually calm and calm eyebrows were actually stunned, and then revealed a rare embarrassment. Gawain looked down at the mess of papers around him, "How long have you been in the house and haven't gone out?" β
Lance turned his head to look at the chaos around him, and judging by Percy's message at noon today, he hadn't left the room in three weeks. Lance raised an eyebrow to reveal an innocent expression, "The passage of time is always unpredictable, isn't it?" β
Gawain slapped Lance twice in the chest and laughed, "You're still so humorous, and you always like to say philosophical things I don't understand." After being beaten twice, Lance felt that he was almost vomiting blood, but he still couldn't hold back and rolled his eyes. Gawain was used to it for a long time, and he didn't care at all, and said happily, "Go, go, I'm ready to go, I talked to Theo on the phone just now, and he will arrive in twenty minutes." We have to rush over to get there, too. β
Lance got up and walked briskly into the bathroom, he hadn't been out for a long time, he had to take care of himself briefly. Gao Wen followed to the door of the bathroom, crossed his hands on his chest, and asked casually, "Has there been any recent changes in your company?" I called the landline in your office and the person who answered the phone was not Percy, I thought it was the wrong call. β
The movements in Lance's hand couldn't help but pause, he forgot about it, he never mentioned the matter of Diorama Pictures to his family, whether it was as Lancelot or as Li Jin. In the previous life, it was discovered six months later, and in a panic, Lance had a big fight with them and strongly refused their help. Years later, Lance realized how stupid his actions were, and how cruelly he hurt his family.
So what about this time? Should he tell the truth?
