The plane from Los Angeles to New York took five or six hours. But in this short period of time, the new script that Bob got from Levy was enough to excite him.

Bob has always considered himself a rather thoughtful person. He is not like Alexander, who only knows how to make money, and does not care about artistry and the film industry at all. Nor is he like Clark, who only believes that art does not care about the objective situation at all, and pursues art even if he dies poor. He has always believed that he can think in many ways, and he is better than all of them.

Therefore, when Levy's movie dream began to attack again, he gave Levi a more rigorous advice: if you have a good script, then think about making a movie, if you don't have a good script, don't think so much - this is the attitude that a screenwriter should have, although he has also heard that some directors don't like to follow the script when filming, and even some superb directors dare to start filming with a few flying pages, script? Write when you start shooting...... That kind of director may be of a really high level, or he may really have the free and easy feelings of an artist, but Bob believes that it is better to be prepared enough than to believe in his own talent, and film shooting is a process of multi-person collaboration, without enough preparation, with enough talent, it cannot be shown.

This time, Levy was well prepared, Bob didn't know how long he had been preparing, but he knew that he had a good enough script - it was not appropriate to say that the script was not appropriate, because it was just an idea, although there were storyboards and story synopsis, but the lines and language still needed polish, and if you wanted to complete this idea, Bob had to come out.

"Very good idea, no one has written a script for this range of materials yet, and this script is thick enough and great enough to be a rare idea - Nick, this is a great idea, how did you come up with it?"

His words made Levy laugh reservedly. Bob saw his pride and gave him another thumbs up: writing a script like this deserves any praise.

The heaviest subject matter in the movie is naturally a political film, and it is very difficult to shoot real, heavy, touching the soul and human nature, and reflecting the shadow of the times. And it is even more difficult to achieve the purpose of reflecting the times by photographing the lives of small people. These difficulties were all solved by Levy's ideas, and Bob was naturally amazed.

Bob's ecstasy had already told Levi about his attitude. It seems that he doesn't have any opinions on the filming of this movie.

Such a reaction was not expected by Levy: he had enough confidence in this script. As one of the best films since the 21st century, this film can definitely conquer any discerning screenwriter, otherwise, how could Levy choose to make this European film directly?

Levy gestured to him, signaling him not to wake up Clark and Michael, who were sleeping, of course he chose this movie for a reason, and it was never too late to say it later, "Be quiet, I haven't told Clark about them yet, and when I tell them, we'll talk about the idea of this movie in detail." Now I'm going to say, if you're satisfied, then you've got to do me a favor. If you want to improve the script of this movie, you need to check a lot of relevant information, and it is impossible to write the script well in Hollywood......"

"I went to Europe, researched materials, and conducted field trips." Bob immediately replied, since the story takes place in East Germany, then, if you want to create a good script, you naturally have to go to East Germany to check the information, this matter, Bob still understands, "However, if I go to Europe, what about the TV series filming here?" ”

"You hang the name of the screenwriter here, I did the work for you, you are working for me, I can naturally do the things here." Levy replied immediately.

In this case, Bob naturally had nothing to object, he nodded, and immediately agreed.

"Well, in a few days, I'll leave for Europe -- just, how long do you want me to finish this script?"

"Don't worry, you write the script first, and I have to finish filming the TV series here first. While the TV series was being filmed, I could ask Clark to find the actors first and do the preliminary preparations. By the time the pre-preparations are done, the first season of our TV series will almost be over, and at that time, we will have the money to make a movie. As soon as Levy spoke, he had already given him plenty of time.

In fact, there is another way to invest in making movies, which is to go to large companies to attract investment. Levy is now a little famous, he wants to test the water film market, as long as there is a good script, it is not difficult to get some investment to make a movie - I dare not say more, there are still people willing to give 20 or 30 million.

It's just that shooting movies like this is also destined to have little rights: anywhere, under any system, some things remain the same: whoever has the money is the uncle, the six major companies are indeed very rich, but let them invest, they can't ignore it, at least they have to send a producer over, and in Hollywood, the producer has always had the final say, as the director, Levy, if he wants to get the final editing right, I'm afraid it's not so easy - in Hollywood, the director who really has the final editing right, There are a dozen or so in total, and obviously, Levy is not among them.

If you don't want to be suppressed by film companies, then the best way is to be an investor yourself. If you are an investor yourself, you will have the greatest flexibility in the scope of filming and the content you will shoot, and you can come as you like, and the only trouble with this is that in this way, after the failure of the film, you will lose money.

The mystery is a small company with not much capital, and it can be said that the assets earned by CSI are all their assets. In case the film is smashed, a few of them will return to the **silk era from successful people overnight.

"I thought about it, the film we were making was not going to be a big one: this was my first official film, and I was just trying, and the investment would not have been too big - I estimated that if there were 10 million or 20 million, it would be enough. If we prepare for half a year, we may be able to get 20 million spare money, and at that time, we can also invest in making our own movies. ”

Bob was silent for a while, and then smiled bitterly, "Our company is also very successful, why does it still look so poor?" You can make a movie casually and you can bankrupt your family, but we are still not rich enough. ”

Yes, it's just an investment of 20 million, and he doesn't even have this amount of money - Levy is also a little helpless about this.

"Well, since you said so, then, I'm not in a hurry. The script of the movie, I can prepare it slowly. Don't worry, I've checked the information a little bit and done my best. It's just that the investment of 20 million is really enough? ”

Levy nodded, in his opinion, it was definitely enough.

An investment of 20 million is enough in Levy's opinion. He didn't want to make a movie with a big scene - he knew what he could, the scene was too big, and he was worried that he wouldn't be able to control it. If the movie is not a movie that pursues big scenes and pursues action, then the investment of 20 million is basically enough.

With 20 million, he can build a studio, use any photography technique, use the best team to take care of dubbing and other peripheral work, and can also use the extra money to invite some really good actors - if it is not a commercial production, then a considerable part of the money for inviting actors can be left, and good actors can also be invited. These Bobs also understood, and after thinking about it, he also agreed with Levy.

It's just that Bob is also a little emotional about such a situation.

"If we lose, we will work for nothing this year." Bob replied.

Levy shrugged, and he couldn't argue with that: he didn't guarantee that he would be 100 percent successful.

"This year, we have enjoyed the best life, and our reputation has grown, even if our company has no money, we can be regarded as earning, at least it is much better than when we were in Hollywood before." Bob suddenly changed his words, "We got the bet right in the summer, and now we have the money." So, why don't we gamble again? If we win the bet, maybe we make more money, and if we lose the bet, can we be worse than before? What's more, even if we lose the bet, we are just doing it for nothing this year - with CSI, we are enough to eat the old book for ten years. ”

Bob was a little surprised to be so reasonable, he turned his head to look at Bob, but Bob just smiled, "Nick, I'm not a person with a lot of ability, but that doesn't stop me from daydreaming. I know that your mind is much bigger than mine, and if you shoot TV series every day, you will definitely not be able to bear the loneliness. Sooner or later, you're going to have to go back to the film industry. I advise you only in the hope that the last tragedy will not be repeated...... Everything is easy to say in terms of money, I can afford to lose as much as I lose, the key is you, you have to withstand the blow. What happened after the last failure, is a nightmare. ”

Bob's words silenced Levy for a moment. He originally thought that after having money, Bob would start to become unenterprising, but he didn't expect that Bob was not worried about money, but about his friend's psychological capacity.

Levi was silent for a moment before nodding, "Don't worry, I can withstand any blow now." ”

"Even so, it's best not to hit at all." Bob smiled and said, "Actually, I can see that you have grown a lot more now than before, but I'm probably born to think more." ”

"It's good to think a lot, it's better than a person with a tendon. I wonder now about how I'm going to convince Clark to follow me into a new show if I don't like my idea. ”

"It's very easy to do, our next stop is Victoria's Secret's party, you pour him two more glasses at the party, help him find a beautiful girl, ensure that his thinking ability plummets, and he can pass whatever you say."

"I'm afraid that when I get to the party, I'll get drunk before him." Levi laughed too, "Enjoy the evening first, and then talk about something else - tonight, have a good time." ”
