Chapter 50: A confusing script
"IQ 150 to understand? Is Mister showing off his IQ? So let's take a look at what Mister's IQ really is! ”
In order to humiliate Xiansen, the New York Times turned over the results of various training courses he attended when he was a child, as well as the evaluations of those teachers. To be honest, when he saw these things in the newspaper, Xiansen couldn't help but want to laugh, how boring this media is, so many things don't pay attention to, but catch yourself.
After crumpling the newspaper into a ball and throwing it in the trash, Xiansen took out a script from the drawer, which he himself had written based on the outline of the five-star purple script card.
This script is currently incomplete, it can only be regarded as a fragmented version, because the structure of the story is too complex, and the follow-up storyline has not yet been fully given, so even Xiansen himself does not know what the ending of the story is.
Now he only knows that the actor Teddy and his partner Chuck took a boat to the Shutter Island Psychiatric Prison near Boston to investigate a mysterious disappearance.
What is confusing? In the simplest way, the story that was originally in progress was suddenly divided into two plots.
One is the detective's story: it continues with Teddy and Chuck's investigation of Rachel's escape from prison for a female patient at the Lonely Island Mental Hospital, and leads to Teddy's real purpose being to find Ledice, an arsonist who burned his wife. In the course of his investigation, Teddy discovers that the psychiatric hospital is brainwashing and drug control on patients, so he decides to find out what happened.
And the other is the story of the arsonist: Teddy is actually Ladis, because his mentally ill wife drowned his three children, he shot her in a fit of rage, and in the face of the breakdown of the whole family, he went crazy, thus hallucinating and generating a version of the detective story in his brain, and his police partner was actually his attending doctor.
The ending of these two stories does not give a very definite answer, so even Xiansen doesn't know which story is the truth, in fact, if it's just that, then forget it, the most hateful thing is that these two stories seem to lead to the third story: that is, Shutter Island is actually a group of scientific maniacs doing psychiatric research, and these studies are inhumane in many ways, federal police officer Teddy is here to investigate Shutter Island, but
In order to write the script of "Shutter Island" according to the outline, Xiansen felt that all his brain cells for more than 20 years had been killed in an instant, and for a while he would feel that this development was the final answer to the story, but after a while he felt that there were contradictions in the plot of such a development.
Since the script card will only be fully effective when filming officially starts, Xiansen's script is only written here, this script is he took to those production companies to see, this time he is not ready to continue to make reading movies, because after clearly knowing this complex plot, Xiansen estimated that the investment in the film would be at least 30 million US dollars, and even more may be needed, and he could not come up with so much money alone.
"Leo, do you have time? I'm waiting for you at home, the script is already written, you come and study it with me. ”
After checking the mutilated script in his hand, Xiansen called Leonardo as soon as possible, and he must have left the actor of this movie to Leonardo, because he wanted to fulfill what he had said at the beginning, so that everyone knew Leonardo, not Jack.
How to do this, in Xiansen's view, is to use more classic characters with different styles to make the audience forget Jack's shadow, it is difficult to know this, because the influence of the Titans is too great, even now, many Leonardo's fans will shout when watching "50 First Loves": I love Jack to death, we all love Jack.
"The script is written? So fast? ”
Leonardo took the phone and felt incredible how quickly he could determine the script, even though it took Xiansen more than a week, how to write a high-IQ suspense thriller in a week? That sounds scary in itself!
Xiansen's speed is fast, that's for sure, after all, this is written according to the outline of the script card, which is completely different from the original creator, to put it seriously, Xiansen just expanded a story, and the plot and creativity of the movie have nothing to do with him.
"You'll know when you come and watch it, to be honest, Leo, sometimes I think you're a good fit for the role, but sometimes I feel like your acting skills may not be able to carry the burden of the movie, I'm a little confused right now, and I need you to give me a definite answer."
Xiansen is very entangled, this is the sequelae of writing this script, and it will be difficult to relieve it for a while depending on the situation
Leonardo quickly rushed to Xiansen's home after putting down the phone, Leonardo disagreed with Xiansen's statement that his acting skills could not provoke the movie, after the success of "50 First Loves" again, he felt that there was no role in this world that was not suitable for him, and he was confident that he could play any character.
"Mister, where's the script?"
As soon as he entered Xiansen's room, Leonardo shouted unconvinced, he wanted to see what kind of script could make Xiansen say that kind of thing.
"Shutter Island" has a magical magic, which is different from those high-IQ movies that deliberately pursue suspense, more often than not, it still tells a story, a fascinating story, but the way of narrating the story is completely different. When watching the story of "Shutter Island", you have to divide the brain into two, and the left and right brains analyze two pictures and two plots at the same time, and finally the two plots are combined into one at a meeting point, which one is true and which one is false, and you are confused at this moment.
"Misster, you wait, I'll watch it again."
Leonardo had been reading the script for more than thirty minutes, enough time for him to read it two or three times, but every time he turned the last page, he would turn back to the beginning and continue his research.
"Okay, Leo, you can go back and study the script slowly, I just want to know now if you dare to play Teddy?"
Hearing Xiansen's question, Leonardo put down the script and scratched his head embarrassedly, now he is completely convinced, not to mention acting, it is the final ending of this script, he still hasn't been able to understand it. You must know that he has watched it three times, and he feels quite pressured for the character of Teddy in it.
"Director, I want to give it a try."
When discussing the problems of the film, Leonardo's address to Xiansen was automatically replaced by director, which is a habit and an attitude.
"Try? No, that's not the answer I'm looking for, I just want you to tell me, are you ready, do you have this confidence? ”
Xiansen needs Leonardo to give an affirmative answer, but even he himself is not very confident in directing this film.
"I'm sorry, director, I need to go back and study the script again."
Leonardo gave his own answer, as an actor, his behavior is very responsible.
"I'm waiting for your news."
