Looking at these scripts, Lance's mood couldn't help but brighten, it really had a sense of absurdity and uninhibitedness, which made people laugh. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

It's not because the number of scripts is really beyond imagination; It's because the script is nonsensical, which makes people completely scratch their heads. This reminded Lance of the Matthew effect, where the strong get stronger and the weak get weaker.

In Hollywood, there is such a situation, it seems that all works are flocking to the top few actors and directors, so that some actors can't finish the plays, and they can be seen everywhere throughout the year, but some actors can't get the play at all, and have to take on bad movies for a living.

Now Lance sees such a situation.

So far, all four of Lance's works are drama films, and at most they involve crime and thrillers, in fact, the same is true for "Hard Fruit Candy"; Not to mention that he has very little experience as an actor and has almost no reference value, but now scripts of various themes have been sent to him, as if ...... It's as if he can turn stones into gold, decay and magic.

The villain of "The Da Vinci Code" is barely understandable, but what about the two comedy movies "Night at the Museum" and "Thriller Ride"? He was invited to direct both films, but the problem was that Lance never showed a talent for comedy, and in his previous four works, the comedic elements were almost negligible - and there was really not much black humor in "killing people with a knife". What's even more ridiculous is that "Wonderful Night at the Museum" actually invited him to co-write the screenplay.

Any movie fan should know that comedy scripts are actually the most difficult to write, even more difficult than drama works. It's no longer the era when movies have just begun, simple and rough body funny is enough to make the audience satisfied, and now more popular comedy with good lines, the difficulty of Bojun laughing has skyrocketed. Therefore, the comedy market in the United States is gradually occupied by the ", pee, and fart" style, which wins the audience's love with vulgar but effective means such as "pornography", "violence", and "dirty"; And the European region, led by the United Kingdom, France, and Germany, is going further and further down the road of cold humor of black comedy.

Writing an excellent comedy script requires not only basic line skills and knowledge, but also an innate sense of humor.

Lance never thought he was capable of making a good comedy film, the challenge was too high. At least not at this stage.

Even Lance himself is not confident, and where did Twentieth Century Fox come from? Both comedy scripts are from Twentieth Century Fox. This situation is really laughable, Lance's original fatigue gradually disappears, and the whole person becomes full of interest - he is very curious, what kind of height can Hollywood's Matthew effect reach?

In addition, Twentieth Century Fox also submitted two very interesting projects, one is "Die Hard 4" and the other is "Fantastic Four 2".

It has been a full decade since "Die Hard 3", and now Twentieth Century Fox has moved this classic series out again, on the one hand, because there are fewer and fewer excellent original scripts, and many film companies have begun to tap the residual value of old scripts and old series, so there are countless remakes of old works and continuation of old series; On the one hand, it is because Bruce Willis has begun to rejuvenate thanks to the huge success of "Sin City", as the pioneering work of Bruce to become a first-line action star, the "Die Hard" series has won him a large number of fans.

But in Lance's opinion, it was a terrible idea. Because the biggest reason for the success of the "Die Hard" series is the simplicity and bravery of civilian heroes, but the law of sequel movies is destined to make the work pattern bigger and bigger, which will inevitably lose the setting of "civilians", making the "Die Hard" series also become a spy war movie that collects money.

There is nothing wrong with accumulating money, but "Die Hard" has lost its own characteristics, Bruce does not have the appeal of Tom Cruise, and does not have the characteristics of "Mission Impossible"; The movie does not have Matt Damon's crispness and neatness, and there is no hope of catching up with "spy shadows"; The setting of the male protagonist is not as good as the charm of James Bond, and the level of the "007" series is also extravagant...... So? This also makes the series of films destined to be mediocre and devoid of any features.

This was the case in the previous life, "Die Hard" filmed the fourth and fifth parts, and the journey of collecting money went smoothly, but it was infamous.

As for "Fantastic Four 2", this is perhaps the most reliable project at the moment. Comic book adaptations, the great success of the previous work, the leading actors of youth, and the attributes of commercial films...... It seems that everything is in line with the studio's expectations of Lance.

However, this sequel is a disaster, and the terrible script makes people completely complain. Unless the script is completely overturned and the writing is restarted, there is no need to take on the film, nothing but self-destruction and reputation - and the film is losing money and losing money.

In addition, "Soul Chariot", "Rear Window Horror", "Notes: I Love You", "Love Vacation", "Fast and Furious 3" and other terrible works have also appeared, including love, horror, supernatural, action, family and other types of works, covering a wide range of really unimaginable.

Isn't that a wonderful phenomenon? It seems that the success of the past four works has made the major film companies have infinite confidence, and they have regarded Lance as the real savior, believing that any work can be rejuvenated in his hands, and then one by one the checks are smashed like a torrential rain, until Lance is dizzy.

It's no wonder people say that Vanity Fair is easy to get lost.

Seeing so many scripts, pouring in, feeling the trust and support of major film companies, as if everyone is counting on him alone, that kind of God-like supreme power, turning his hands into clouds and turning his hands into rain, it seems that he only needs a light nod of his head to change the future of the entire crew, the future of the entire project, and even the future of the actors, producers, agents, and assistants, directly standing at the peak of power!

A strong presence, supreme power, and a ubiquitous light make it difficult for people to continue to maintain a normal mind. This is an incredibly difficult thing to do.

What's more, these works seem to have unlimited potential - after all, when film companies prepare every project, they don't want to lose money, but to make money, and they naturally look confident. Among them, there are veteran sequels like "Die Hard" that have lasted for many years, popular fried chicken series like "Fantastic Four", and whimsical script ideas like "Wonderful Night at the Museum", it seems that each work seems to be a sure win. It is not an easy task to say no.

If Lance hadn't been reborn, he would have known how ridiculous and terrible these works would have been in the future, and he would have known the avalanche of endings that would ensue after the failure of the works; If Lance hadn't experienced the ups and downs of the wind and waves, he clearly knew that these big companies were sought after not because of his personal charm, let alone because of the solid friendship of shallow words, but as a money-making tool; If Lance doesn't understand the trade-off, it will be difficult, but he must persevere, otherwise he will only be dragged down by his own greed and ambition...... Well, maybe Lance is going to get carried away at this point.

In fact, among this pile of works, there is no shortage of excellent works.

For example, Will Smith's "When Happiness Knocks on the Door", which is a work with both box office and word-of-mouth, not only received 160 million North American box office, but also won Will an Oscar nomination.

For example, "Dream Girl", which won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress, invited Beyoncé, Jamie Fox, Eddie Murphy and other big names to join, achieved a box office of 100 million US dollars, and was the biggest favorite in the awards season that year.

Another example is "Spy Movie 3", this series can be said to have won numerous praises in the first two episodes, and is even hailed as opening a new chapter in spy movies, even ten years later, it is still a classic in the genre, and the third part has achieved an excellent box office of 220 million in North America, drawing a perfect end to the trilogy. It was because the series was so successful that it wasn't long before a fourth sequel was put on the agenda, even though Matt resigned.

The most unexpected is definitely "Spider-Man 3", everyone knows that the first two films directed by Sam Raimi completely changed the landscape of the North American box office market, although the second part was slightly disappointing and the box office performance was lower than expected, but this is still the most appealing series in Hollywood at the moment. The third part still got a box office of 300 million in North America, which also became the beginning of a new era of comic book adaptations.

In addition, the two scripts of "Atonement" and "Michael Clayton" are even more eye-catching. The former's four-and-a-half-minute long shot is as shocking as epic; The latter's ridicule of the American judicial system seems dull but thought-provoking, and both works won many nominations and even the affirmation of the Golden Man at the Oscars that year, which not only tests the director's control, but also is a serious issue for the director's ability to excavate.

It is no exaggeration to say that any of these works are worth shooting, and the difficulty of the challenge and the shooting value exceed "I am a legend". If Lance gives up "I Am Legend" at this time, picks one of the above works, and starts working again, there will be absolutely no problem, and it may be more helpful for Lance to challenge himself - even "Spy 3" and "Spider-Man 3" are no exception.

That's what interests Lance the most, and there's a lot of great work coming out and there's a lot of opportunity, and that's Hollywood. If you miss "I Am a Legend", there will still be countless legends emerging for you to choose. Opportunities for success are everywhere, but only those who are ready can seize them and make them happen. (To be continued.) )
