Speaking of Jos. Wheddon, the talented screenwriter, director and producer doesn't seem to be so lucky, although he is 45 years old this year, he is already a big name in the field of science fiction TV series, and he also directed and launched his own science fiction movie "Firefly", and became famous earlier than J.J. Abrams, a science fiction star who became famous with "Lost" and "The Edge of Crisis", both of them are well-known talents with strong creativity, many ideas, and many settings, but in the mainstream film industry, Jos has not met his Bole for a long time, Compared to fame in a few years to get Tom. Cruise appreciated, since then, Abrams, who has successively produced sci-fi masterpieces such as "Mission Impossible 3" and "Star Trek 11", although Jos has been involved in film script creation very early, but he can't even mix the right of authorship in the early days, although he won the Oscar nomination for Best Screenplay with "Toy Story" very early, but he has been lacking a chance to prove himself, and he has not been favored by film manufacturers and has taken over the guide tube of a big production.

And even in the field of TV dramas, 2008 is relatively speaking, it is also a low ebb in his career - "Vampire Hunter Buffy" and "Angel", the two classic series produced by him, have ended, the movie version of "Firefly" is not popular, although the relatively hardcore content has brought loyal fans and super high reputation, but the box office is unsatisfactory, and the profits are difficult to say extremely rich, and in the entire "Firefly" project, Jos and Fox have a very unpleasant quarrel, This has even affected the broadcast of the fourth sci-fi TV series "Doll Agent" that he is doing now, although this TV series has just been released, but judging from the ratings, it is estimated that it will be difficult to survive to the fourth season. As for the "Cabin in the Woods" that he is promoting as a producer, it has been given the green light by MGM, however, although MGM was bought by Sony before, Sony's capital injection has brought it some vitality, but the company itself is still in a debt crisis, and now it is rumored that there is a serious problem with the capital chain, and it is likely that bankruptcy and reorganization will be announced in the short term.

- Of course, this kind of low tide is also relatively speaking, Jos's family is very wealthy, "Buffy", "Angel" and other classic dramas brought him income, but also made him able to live a comfortable life without worrying about food and clothing, and now what drives him to continue to move forward is his personal interest and ambition, and therefore, although he should be salivating for the director position of the project "SHERO", and can't wait to prove his ability to control the big project, but when Da Dream contacted him last year, he was preparing for " Doll Agent", although the relationship with Fox has been quite stiff and cold, but still dedicatedly said that he must finish the work of "Doll Agent" before he can consider the script writing and project planning of "Shero", and he emphasized his style to Da Meng - either don't do it for him, or ensure the director's right to speak, obviously, Joss himself is not willing to be just Jenny's puppet, just to be a paintbrush, what he needs is a director-centered work model, for this, He also asked for a position on the producers' team: Jenny was the only one on the list of producers of "Monroe", which made her the top spot at the Oscars, but it obviously brought some bad influences, making some talented directors who were not so high-ranking themselves have certain doubts.

However, Joss must be worried in vain - maybe it can be regarded as a fate between the two sides, for Jenny, at that time, she didn't have the energy to start a new movie, and the funds couldn't be in place for a while, and she had to wait until after the settlement period of "Twilight" before Big Dream had spare funds to start "Shero", so she also had plenty of time to wait for Joss to slowly brew, hone the outline of the script, and write the world setting, as for who has the final say between herself and Jos, this issue is better discussed, Jenny herself does not have any genius as a screenwriter, at most she just puts forward some opinions and opinions, Jos is not so arbitrary that she must do what she wants to do, as long as the two sides can agree on the guiding ideology, Jenny is not interested in making an actor-centered superhero movie, this kind of film type based on visual spectacle must be checked by the director, and the actor can only add it with his own personal charm, and cannot replace the role of the director, just like "Iron Man", Robert Jr. Downey's personal style is of course very important, but to say that "Iron Man" is a big hit, the plot structure, pacing, high. The real reason is the layout of the tide, the mastery and the production and use of special effects - it can be said that superhero films are the most typical products of Hollywood's industrial assembly line, no matter how big a brand you are, add drama to yourself, the result of tampering with the structure of the film will definitely be the movie hitting the street, no matter how famous the individual is, there will be no exception to this.

Although her influence has now surpassed that of Hollywood actresses in the usual sense, and even in the eyes of outsiders, it may be higher than that of male actors, but Jenny has no interest in challenging this law, and she still underestimates her commercial appeal - the explosion of "Monroe" is largely because of her accumulation and foreshadowing in the previous years, which can be said to be a series of commercial films such as "Pirates" and a series of awards such as "Sally", Including the results of the attention brought by the endless exciting news about her personal life, if because "Monroe" exploded, it would be a bit too self-aggrandizing to assume that "Shero" would definitely explode and she would definitely be able to bring the box office. So her stance in collaboration is still relatively low, giving Jos a considerable amount of freedom to create, only emphasizing some basic directions, and ' Coincidentally, on these basic issues, Joss and her views can be said to coincide, quite compatible, Jos is also more excited, after a few months of brewing, gave her a fairly detailed setting table, including the direction of the entire plot and the character biography are written in detail, and it really fascinates Jenny: it can be seen that this time the creative environment does make him feel very comfortable, and the respect and understanding from the management also inspired him to create and let him hand in a rather excellent answer.

"During the creation of the entire outline, one thing we must keep in mind is that when the audience watches superhero films, they are looking for a rather genre and simple viewing pleasure," because Carey was absent from the previous communications, so after a simple greeting, Joss opened his own outline while introducing his own ideas to him, "So superhero films can't tolerate overly complex plots, nor can they have too complex characters and human torture, These things are just not suitable for superheroes, and it can even be said that they are not suitable for most commercial films, but this does not mean that it should be mentally retarded, and like "Fantastic Four", the whole way to the level of G-rated children's films, superhero films need a bright rhythm, a clear and charming, absolutely politically correct theme, and a strong and negative personality, no more than three twists of the plot structure, and must strictly follow this principle: all plots serve the battle, and the battle is the core of the whole movie, The characters are secondary, and the plot conflict must take a back seat. ”

With Jos's standard, all of Warner's superhero movies are unqualified, including the blockbuster series "Batman" that has been a hit in recent years, but "Iron Man" is more in line with this standard. Orent naturally couldn't help but show some uncomfortable expressions, but he couldn't come up with any good arguments to refute this point of view - since winning DC, Warner has been stumbling in the development of comic book adaptations, wasting DC's good resources, except for the "Batman" series, the rest of the comic book movies are almost fiascos, that is, last month, "Watchmen" just slammed down the street, although this movie is praised as a masterpiece among the core fan base, But the box office is very sorry for its $130 million production budget, and the film is also completely contrary to several principles proposed by Jos, and it also has an outrageous R rating, which keeps many young audiences out of the theater, and it is not so surprising that such a result will be achieved.

This is also the reason why Jenny chose Joss over Nolan - although the film has Warner's investment, she really does not plan to follow the serious dark style that Warner has always liked, but intends to get closer to Marvel and create her own superhero movie according to Jos's standards. After all, the facts are in front of them, Marvel's ideas and strategies allow them to launch two to three hit blockbusters with a global box office of about 1 billion every year, and the box office and word-of-mouth are on the rise, and they have not changed because of the change of starring and director, roles, and themes, while DC can only watch Marvel make money one after another - even cartoons like "Super Marines" are word-of-mouth box office double-explosions - and at the same time curse the parent company Warner.

In fact, why doesn't Warner want to learn from Marvel and take an easier route? But in the original timeline, when Marvel began to explode, they were already too heavy to turn back. Leaving Nolan, "Green Lantern" pounced on not even knowing his mother, starring Ryan. Reynolds' star journey was delayed for two years, and finally he had to go to the Marvel Universe to play Deadpool, a non-mainstream hero, and he wanted to turn over and become popular again, with Nolan, "Superman: Man of Steel" still has 500 million results in the world, although counting his high cost and strong publicity, Warner definitely doesn't make much money, but this is a start, and it can be regarded as their own route, so even if they realize the advantages of the Marvel route, they can't leave Nolan at this time, they can only hold his thighs firmly, Go the dark and serious route to the end, and expect "Superman v Batman" to be a big hit under his supervision, which can compete with Marvel, although "Batman: The Dark Knight Rises" was still bad in word-of-mouth at that time, attracting a lot of ridicule, but no matter what, there is also a box office of 1 billion in the world, which can compete with "Iron Man 3......

As for the current timeline, Jenny didn't cherish herself and signaled Jos's idea of defending Warner, although now Marvel's marriage to Disney is almost a certainty, just to be announced, it is reasonable to be a family, and Marvel is now starting to contact Jos, tentatively chatting about some "Avengers" - Jos also asked her opinion on this matter, because it is taboo to make two movies with similar themes at the same time, and Jenny will certainly not object -

Although, according to common sense, Jenny should hope that Warner will continue to serve on the street and strictly guard against their successful experience, so that "The Avengers" will not encounter unexpected strong opponents, but, in Jenny's opinion, even if Warner knows this and has full confidence in her, before "Shero" and "Avengers 2" are released, it is difficult for them to change their ways: Nolan, who just won the annual crown with "Batman" last year, Now that he seems to have become DC's savior, DC can't kick him out and take the easy route, it's definitely a stupid move, and as long as Nolan is there, as long as DC still wants to engage in cross-work interaction, it will be difficult for them to ignore Nolan's bitter realistic version of Batman, and shoot the more cheerful and young "Superman" and "Wonder Woman", which is also the reason why Joss and Warner failed to talk about it before - Joss had the opportunity to direct "Wonder Woman" the year before last, and he had the prototype of today's mature idea at that time, but Warner couldn't accept it, At that time, Warner wanted to do the heavy and helpless "Wonder Woman" like "Spider-Man" and "Batman", and Joss would rather not shoot than change his mind, coupled with the fiasco of "Catwoman" in the past few years, which also made Warner's decision-makers worried, and the project was ultimately abandoned.

With the continuous expansion of the company's scale, the advantage of 'small ship and good turn' is no longer there, and the vision of the decision-makers is becoming more and more important, because this is no longer a street fight, it can be said that Warner has been paying the price for the decision made ten years ago until 2015, and the most tricky point of this whole thing is that in 2005, making a serious, gloomy "Batman" did seem like a good idea, until 2008 "Iron Man" came out, This seems to be a genius choice for Warner, and even now, Warner only feels a certain discomfort with the rise of "Iron Man", and does not realize that it has fallen into strategic passivity and lost the starting advantage brought by the early acquisition of DC.

--Glancing at Carrey, Jenny also sighed secretly in her heart: she was ninety percent sure that Carey would not go back to spread Jos's ideas, even if he himself thought Jos's idea was more valuable, he would not do such a thing, because the internal struggle within Warner was too fierce, and the internal friction was too great. Robinoff's single-handedly discovered, Carey and the company's leaders are at odds, and in terms of Warner's company culture, it is likely that he will be excluded from the position of "Shero" producer, so of course he will choose to be wise and protect himself, and say less and make fewer mistakes. It is precisely this kind of company culture that has caused Warner to miss possible opportunities to turn around again and again, and to be caught up by Disney, which has similar problems but to a much lesser extent, and the position of the leader is in jeopardy. And if you want to go back to the source, in fact, the ultimate problem is still with Jeff, the head of Time Warner. Bix, if it weren't for his delay in appointing and supporting a new CEO after the departure of the CEO of Warner Entertainment, the three executives would have competed with each other, Warner's infighting would not have been so white-hot, and Jeff would not have been so sensitive to the attack on "Batman". Iger's attitude of close monitoring and adjustment at any time will at least control this kind of infighting within an acceptable range, and will not drag down the strategic advantage of the entire company like Warner.

For Jenny, this is also a shocking lesson from the past, with the growth of the big dream step by step, many of the original more pragmatic concepts, have gradually shown its significance: company culture, brand concept, personnel system, employee satisfaction these software, in the early stage of development, may indeed be inferior to the "company profit" this hardware, but when the hardware has been built, the machine has been built, it is the software that determines how far the machine can go, is to become an independent operation, A large formal company that has been inherited for a hundred years is still the kind of personal company that is unsustainable once the key person leaves, in fact, it is the past few years since the company began to formalize and transform.

This is actually one thing Jenny has been thinking about recently, and it is also a shortcoming of her own that she is aware of - ashamed to say that although Big Dream was founded by her, and also contributed considerable dividends to her, Jenny actually doesn't know about the current Big Dream, and the result of filming outside all the year round makes her basically stay away from the daily operation of Big Dream, except for Cesare and Jim, several executives in the distribution department and production department now only have official correspondence with her, and rarely meet a few times, Of course, they may be familiar with it, but in the end, what is the daily working atmosphere of Big Dream, what are the shortcomings, advantages, and what kind of company culture do employees need, these are not soaked in the company for a year and a half, and it is difficult to find the answer.

- And Jenny is precisely lacking this time, and she is very skeptical that Cesare has corrected his shortcomings in downward communication: although not all, most CEOs like to create an approachable image for themselves, which is due to the common needs of superiors, just like now, Jenny, as a funder, must also want him to speak freely when communicating with Jos, even if there is a problem, he can all be violent at once. If she behaves like she is thousands of miles away, and Jos is trembling and doesn't dare to say anything risky, in the subsequent filmmaking process, the problem will still exist and will be found, but the time and money cost of solving the problem will inevitably rise a lot, and it will also add countless unpleasantness and spend more labor costs. And Cesare's previous mode of communication will indeed make people who are at a disadvantage in front of him feel nervous and resistant, Jenny doesn't know if he has improved now, she thinks it is likely not, after all, their relationship has improved and deepened, and the communication mode has changed, which is also based on the small explosion of "Notebook", her status has risen, and her voice has begun to be on par with Cesare.

"I'd still like to see some data, not your judgment of the market, Jos, no offense, but it's true, many directors, even directors who have had very successful works, have seriously misjudged the market......"

"Is there any research company that can do the whole market research? According to the results of the survey, there are a lot of bad movies, and many times, the audience doesn't even know what they like to watch......"

At the moment when she was distracted, Carrey had asked a few sharp questions about Jos's thinking, hoping to see a tangible data to prove that moviegoers do not like too serious topics in the theme of superhero movies, and Joss obviously lacked corresponding preparation and couldn't get real investigation results, so his argument was a little reluctant, and there were some small disagreements at the beginning of the discussion, and Jenny immediately suppressed these unhurried considerations and refocused on the meeting in front of her, "Carrey, this doesn't need to be discussed - it's a definite thing, Jos and I have the same basic idea in this area, we both think that the audience will like it, whether the audience likes it or not, the box office and word of mouth of "SHERO" will tell us." ”

She didn't say anything tactfully, but directly ended the argument with one sentence: Jenny didn't intend to give Carrey the opportunity to challenge the basic direction, Warner didn't have so much say in this project, she hoped that Carrey would take on more of a witness role - witnessing that the big dream did not fill Warner's funds and spend them casually, in addition, except when he needed Warner's help, Carey could speak, and it was best for him to be quiet and shut up at other times.

Even before "Monroe", Jenny may have needed a certain amount of scheming and strategy to help her suppress Kerry, but now, she only needs one sentence - judging from the change in Kerry's face, it is obvious that he is aware of the subtext contained in Jenny's words and Jenny's attitude......

This made the production of "Michael. Clayton", his status at Warner is not low, and it can even be said that he should be quite scheming middle-aged man with his brows gathered, and red clouds on his pale cheeks, it can be seen that he is rarely subjected to such direct denial, and the instinct of the producer makes Carrey want to protest, and want to seek a higher status for himself-

However, in Jenny's calm gaze, Joss seemed to be smiling, and looked around without doubt, Carrey's expression slowly turned to helplessness, and it was clear that after weighing the pros and cons, the veteran producer finally made the only choice......

“…… ok。 Raising his hand, Carrey finally said, "2:1, I'll shut myself up—Jos, you go on." ”

As if not seeing the sneering look on Carrey's face, Joss smiled, "With this principle, we can plan the general structure of the whole movie, and in the first thirty minutes of this story, we need to explain the personality and origin of the main character, and introduce the concept of superpowers, and this leads us to the next topic, which is the heroine Kelly - let's call her - what kind of girl is she?" Traditionally, she's either from the bottom or a princess or a rich woman far from civilian life, which is a characteristic of well-known heroines: away from everyday life, maybe the creator is looking for a boost for their struggle - but let's not do that, in my vision, Kelly should be a smart, good, and calm girl, and I want to get rid of some of the stereotypes that blondes have in superhero films, or most movies: stupid, impulsive, screaming, like dressing up, Confused, Kelly should be a girl like this: the kind who comes from a middle-class background but doesn't live on the Upper East Side of New York, her parents are doctors and teachers in a small town, she has a good education from a young age, but she doesn't fit in with her classmates, she's a weird girl - cool, good kind of weird. ”

Although she had read the text before, Jenny still nodded her head unconsciously when she heard Joss begin to explain Kelly in her own words, fully engaged in Jos's narration. - Judging from the female characters created by Jos in "Buffy", he prefers to design this kind of heroine with a complete personality, a good education, and a relatively happy family, and Jenny herself feels that this preference is actually more in line with the public's orientation, even if the feminist factor is withdrawn here, such a setting is easier to make the most audiences feel friendly, after all, the bleak life experiences like Spider-Man and Batman are now somewhat outdated, and in 'It's not easy for me to be chivalrous, In addition to the emotion of "really great", it is also easy to arouse the audience's doubts of "since it is already so miserable, why don't you take care of yourself first", comparatively speaking, a normal person who does not have too many troubles in life is engaged in vigilante work, or speaking out for justice is more in line with the cognition of normal people. In this regard, Marvel's "Iron Man" is off to a good start, generally speaking, there is no too bleak and depressed superhero in Marvel's own department, every superhero is a winner in life, an industry elite, and it also makes the audience have less concerns about the daily life of the heroes, and it is easy to invest in the plot, as in "Watchmen", let superheroes become the object of calculation, and become the weakness, dark side and weakness of human nature. This kind of gameplay, no matter what the depth, the market response will definitely be very cold, for the same reason as Jos said, that is, it does not meet the audience's viewing expectations, even if the shooting is good, the audience will still have a feeling of not being able to swallow.

"The film can quickly take Kelly's childhood in five minutes, which will provide a good docking point for the future comics, and if we want to publish a comic version, we can start with her teenage years." Under Jenny's obvious attention and approval, Joss was also visibly excited, and he gestured while continuing, "Kelly may have been a little indifferent to real life when she was a teenager, indulging in her little technology, at this time she received care and kindness from ordinary people, our protagonist grew up in love, she didn't have a tragic past, soon, she went to a prestigious school, and after graduation, she worked in a large company similar to Stark Industries, she was still a little weird, But her outstanding ability and this dedication to her work, and her indifference to other things, quickly led her to an important position and began to come into contact with the real secrets of the company. The company began to test and test Kelly, trying to know if she was loyal enough and disregarded for human life, and Kelly was smart enough to see through all the temptations, but at this time she was not really vigilant, she still thought it was a fun thing, and she successfully passed the test. ”

Now even Carrey is really starting to get intrigued, and he flips through the materials, "Is this the time for the villain to appear?" It's an interesting episode where the heroine takes on a high-level position in a villain's company - it's a bit of a spy movie that reminds me of Mr. and Mrs. Smith. ”

"Mrs. Smith is the most successful modern superheroine on screen in the last decade," Joss did not deny Carrey's comment, but instead smiled appreciatively, "including Lara from Tomb Raider, so we must learn from the success of these two characters, and at the same time find what we should avoid from Catwoman, it seems that the heroines may not be so stimulating to the audience, they need some decryption elements as a spice - and they are especially receptive to women dressing up, lying, Ambush, maneuvering among all sorts of people, etc., and defeating the strong with the weak. This is a significant difference between male and female heroes, and it is a classic story for women to play with men through their weaknesses, and for men to directly disintegrate the enemy by force through physical strengthening, and the two generally cannot be mixed. ”

"Generally speaking, people like elaborate female fight scenes, delicate, clean, flexible, but male fight scenes are the opposite, and American audiences like to show off their muscles directly, and two muscular men fighting each other will make the audience's blood boil," Jenny added, "including the action director will also deliberately make a difference between the two fighting styles, and I have experienced this firsthand, and my fight scenes in Pirates of the Caribbean were specially designed, and we were taking different classes at the time." ”

"And it sounds like you're going to make some changes in that regard?" Kerry raised an eyebrow.

"That's one of the game-changing details of the film," Jenny said, "We wanted both, and Kelly's fighting style is subtle, but after she gets superpowers, her fights turn out to be rough, Kerry, what do you think of that idea?" ”

As a reward for Carrey's reciprocal acquaintance, Jenny intended to let Carey speak out on such a less important issue, though she wouldn't listen to him even if he objected.

"That means a lot of budget." Kerry frowned and thought about it, but instead of saying the opposite, he nodded solemnly and said, "But it's funny...... I think you can give it a try, after all, the explosion scene always makes the audience's blood boil, and it needs to be closely connected to the protagonist to make people feel more immersed, and if you continue that jiu-jitsu style of fighting, the whole film will have a ...... The feeling of regret that makes people unable to fully get excited is something we should try to avoid. ”

"yes, I feel like you're starting to get in shape." Jenny pointed at Kerry, "That's what I want, a producer with whom I have a very good understanding - Jos, you go on." ”

"So, blahblah, without further ado, we can intersperse some of Kelly's decryption process during this period, we need some high-IQ, fast, and impressed clips that reflect Kelly's character, her unusual boldness and calmness, some chasing scenes, clever escapes, and finally Kelly discovers that her company is making a human screening potion, and we can virtualize a concept that allows people with IQs higher than a certain number to universally carry a gene, And this screening agent will kill all those who do not carry this gene. In short, the villain wants to destroy the world for some reason, and Kelly is determined to stop this, she stole the original solution of the potion, this precious chemical agent is only one in the world, but it doesn't need a lot to be used by all humans, if it can't be combined with this coding gene in the DNA, it will release biological toxicity, after dilution, it can be dispersed around the world through meteorological weapons, into the global circulatory system, so that for people with an IQ of less than 100, the earth will be uninhabitable, Sooner or later, they will all die from a breath and a drink, but for those who carry this gene, the potion is more like a tonic, and the villain firmly believes that this gene is the key to the next stage of human evolution, and that the potion will make this code more active, prompting it to mutate—"

"—and Kelly was forced to drink the bottle at a critical moment." Carey didn't wait for Jos to continue, and preemptively predicted the development of the plot.

"—And Kelly was forced to drink the vial at a critical moment -- the genes were activated, the superpowers, and she became the next stage of the new human." Jos nodded and said, "Cheesy, but classic, and also quite useful, we had to tie together the acquisition of superpowers with the story, otherwise the first hour of the movie would be too long." ”

"Yes, you're right, and it also has the advantage of being able to create a villain together, after all, this is an original story, and the audience can't get the understanding and expectation of the villain from the comics, and if Kelly enters the company after getting superpowers, the structure will be too loose," Carey does seem to have been deeply attracted to Joss, "This structure is relatively the most scientific, of course, it's a bit cheesy, but then again, what commercial story isn't cheesy?" ”

"When it comes to the portrayal of villains, that's another reason why I chose Jos." Jenny interjected, "Jos's villains are always both good and evil, hated and loved, and of course - and it's always hard to die in an episode - "

In the laughter of Joss and Carrey, Jenny also laughed and said, "This is very beneficial for both the sequel and the comics, a villain with humanity and popularity, as long as he looks good, there will always be people who have a good impression of them, after all, people's expectations of villains are not too high." So in the first part, we need a handsome villain, preferably showing a good impression of Kelly at the beginning, which also makes Kelly's decryption and solving the case more reasonable, after all, she didn't have superpowers at that time - it can also make up for the lack of emotional lines, after all, this is the only love scene in the whole film, although it is just a side-ball-"

"Wait!" Kerry exclaimed in surprise as he looked left and right at Jenny and Jos, "The only love scene? Are you kidding? Jose? Jennifer? ”

Jenny was indeed sympathetic to a stunned Kerry, and she could feel the impact of the thought on him - but she shook her head firmly, "It's not a joke, Kerry, Kelly won't be in a relationship in the first part, and she won't have a prospective boyfriend - there are no boyfriends like those who are just friends in the first part, but you can feel their prospects in the second part, I guess fans will have to pour all their imagination into Kelly and the villain, but unfortunately, this is the final decision." ”

"But—why—" Carrey looked completely unreceptive to the idea, grabbing his hair frantically, "all superhero movies - no, all commercial movies have love scenes - there's a reason for that, Jennifer!" ”

"But in female superhero films, they shouldn't exist, at least not until you want to finish the series," Joss also shook his head tactfully but firmly, "Male heroes are in love?" This is very normal, almost routine, no one will think much about it, but the heroine is not, there are the vast majority of female viewers who will appear when the real emotional line appears - because of our villain - just call him Tom, this is his tentative name in the outline - appear too early, and the identity is sensitive, most of the audience can guess that he is not the real son, this is not the real emotional line - so his intersection with Kelly will make the female audience feel like a snack, which is an unexpected treat and excitement, Let them be excited, it will not affect the plot, but from the beginning of the real emotional line, the vast majority of female viewers will begin to deviate from attention, they will not care about the visual spectacle you present, the focus of the plot you want them to pay attention to, but will always care about the interaction and progress between Kelly and the male protagonist, and begin to speculate about what Kelly's new human identity will hinder her love life, will they continue to be in love? Is Kylie ready to get married and have children? She's 26 years old and can start thinking about it - you spend more than an hour pulling them out of real life, but the moment you see the male lead, they immediately go back to real life, or to the old routine of valuing emotional drama that they have cultivated in countless women's films—and this movie-going experience is not ideal for the female audience themselves, who come to the cinema with the expectation of watching a visual spectacle, but can't concentrate. What's even more terrifying is that this relationship is destined to be handled in a hurry, they can't be satisfied in both aspects, and they can't find support from the original book, because this movie is not as ...... the original book"

"But it's a heroine movie after all, and it's a women's film -- at least it has the characteristics of a women's film," Carey said disapprovingly, "and a women's film has to have an emotional scene, more or less - and preferably it can also have a certain effect on Kelly's mental journey......"

This is the first producers' meeting of "Shero", the three producers have a lot of opinions to express and communicate, Joss still wants to make the film feel like a steam fantasy, which is what he has always liked, and Jenny resolutely does not give in on this point, she thinks that the good time of steam fantasy has passed, and Carrey, although he also understands that his voice is limited, but he is not willing to be marginalized, or try to find a sense of existence, picking faults for the outline - of course, This is also a manifestation of his sense of responsibility.

It took a lot of time to convince Kerry, but there were also a lot of details that needed to be adjusted, such as Jenny's wavering after Kerry's 10,000th statement, even at the end of the film, that Kelly had to be given a potential boyfriend on the righteous side, and the three of them began to explore the possibility of doing so...... When the whole discussion ended, it was already more than three o'clock in the afternoon, but the good news is that the framework and outline of the film have been decided, and then the writing of the script can be synchronized with the preparation and casting of the crew, which is also the benefit of self-funding and self-production.

"If all goes well, we'll be able to finalize the roles in a week, and in a month, the first draft of the full script will be delivered to you, and we can do the first round of casting based on the first draft." Jos flipped through his schedule and finally said, "We'll see you then." ”

"See you then."

"See you then."

The three of them shook each other's hands, and no longer talked about work, but talked about trivial matters, and walked to the door of the suite—seeing Carey biting his lower lip thoughtfully, Jenny asked half-jokingly, "How, Carey, does this make you more confident about the future of SHERO, or does it make you worried about the future?" ”

"All I can say is that there's so much disruption and new stuff in this movie." Kerry shook his head, and said in a somewhat helpless tone, it was obvious that Jenny had indeed guessed what was in his heart. "It's hard for me to imagine what it's like, there's no reference, so I don't really know what to think about it, because I really don't know what the final product will look like."

"I understand how you feel." "I don't know what it's going to look like in the end, I don't even know if it's going to work out – believe me, that's not a lot for me." ”
