Chapter 83: Dream Fulfillment

"What are you going to be crazy about?" Ex looked at Lin Mingyang, who looked mysterious, and had a very bad premonition in his heart.

"I want to make a movie, a movie that will help you realize your dreams!" Lin Mingyang loudly announced his plan.

Ex choked on his "excitement", and while he was busy wiping his mouth with a tissue, he said, "Don't expect me to give you any support other than thanks." Don't forget, you're graduating in a year, and if you don't want to disappoint your mother, just stay in school and be a good student! ”

"A year from now, will anyone still remember the name Felix Lin?" Lin Mingyang asked very funny.

Ex is also very conflicted, as an agent, of course he hopes that Lin Mingyang will become as famous as possible, "You must go to college, and it is an Ivy League school, which is your mother's minimum requirement." Of course, you can continue to make movies during this time, but you must have a tutor to help you with your homework throughout the process! ”

"So I'm going to direct a film myself? Just like "Cinderella's Glass Phone", didn't we work together very well that time? ”

"I can't find a reason to convince your mother, if you become a director, you won't have time for academic tutoring!"

"You don't want to hear what I think?"

His agent shook his head firmly.

"I'm going to shoot at Faco High School!"

Ex yelled, "You're crazy! ”

"There happens to be a suitable role in the film, and I'm going to invite Ms. Martha to play it in friendship!"

"This can't be, she's the principal of the school, how can she run to act in your movie?" Ex shook his head like a rattle.

"That character was originally the principal of the school, and I think Ms. Martha will be interested!" Lin Mingyang held his hands, looking like he was in his chest.

"What does this have to do with me, there is no shortage of women around me now!" Ex said insincerely, but his eyes had betrayed his heart.

"Really?" Lin Mingyang sighed "regretfully", "There will be another character in the film, he will attack our beautiful principal in the film, and finally get his wish!" It's a pity that you're not interested, so you'll have to reconsider the other candidates! ”

In the end, Ex still didn't withstand Lin Mingyang's "coercion and temptation", the most terrible thing is that he knows that this guy can do anything crazy, and said that he wants Martha to play the role in the movie, then Lin Mingyang will definitely try to achieve his goal.

"What do you want me to do?"

"So you're interested in the role?" The fish has already been hooked, but Lin Mingyang is not in a hurry to reel in the line, he wants to put a long line to drop the big fish.

"The investment in the film..."

"I can go to Brooksheimer!" Ex took the bait "willingly" and was naturally ready to be slaughtered.

"And then there's the release..."

"I'm going to talk to Disney about the same mistake they can't make a second time."

"But I'm still busy studying during this time, so I still have to prepare for the film..."

"You open the list of actors you want, I will help you negotiate the actors, and the crew will help you set them up!" Ex accepted all the conditions proposed by Lin Mingyang angrily, "If you still have any harsh requirements, let's say it together!" ”

Lin Mingyang put his hand in his trouser pocket, stood up and looked Acks up and down a few times, "One last request, I'll give you three weeks, no matter what method you use, to get rid of the excess fat on your stomach." ”

"What kind of requirement is that?" Ex protested loudly: "This also has something to do with filming? ”

"I don't want a guy with a beer belly in my film!" Lin Mingyang smacked his lips, "If you want to have more topics to talk about when you meet our dear Principal Martha, you might as well practice American football again and find out how you used to feel." It's not a need for performance, but pickled girls can be used! ”

"So now, can we talk about the script?" Ex mentioned the most critical issue, he was curious to know what kind of role Lin Mingyang would arrange for himself.

Lin Mingyang spread his hands, "I haven't written it yet!" ”

Ex stood up angrily, "So you've been joking with me all the time?" ”

"Don't get excited, listen to me!" Lin Mingyang pressed him back into his seat, "I also just got inspiration from your high school past, and the specific plot is being conceived, but I have already thought about the framework of the story." ”

Hearing this, Ex's face became slightly better, and then Lin Mingyang began to describe his thoughts to him.

"Do you remember our first topic, life is always unavoidable regrets, if there was a second choice, would you still choose today's life?"

"If you still have a choice, then you can't call it a pity!" Ex shook his head and denied Lin Mingyang's hypothesis.

"Of course it's not possible in reality, but what about movies? If you had a chance to do it all over again, what would you choose? Bravely rushed into the office and beat that flowery negative man hard? ”

Ex nodded, "Nice suggestion!" ”

"Well, here's my story, Mike was a big man in school, and as a basketball captain, he could have gotten a scholarship and go straight to college, but he gave up that opportunity in order to be with his girlfriend Kelly. After 20 years, Mike, who has become a middle-aged man, has achieved nothing. He has broken up with his wife, Kelly, has little to speak with their children, and his job at a drug company is boring. Frustrated, Mike returns to high school to reminisce about his former glory. There he meets a cleaner and while the two are chatting, Mike confides in him his desire to be 17 again, and if everything starts all over again, he doesn't give up scholarships and further education opportunities, then life will be very different. ”

"I guess that cleaner must be God, and he sends the protagonist back in time?" For the first time, Ecks rarely interrupted Lin Mingyang: "When did your idea become so uncreative, this is already used in Jim Carrey's "Impostor", this film has only been released for a long time, do you think the audience will buy it?" ”

"You're not guessing wrong this time, the janitor isn't God, he's just a magical guide, and on the way back from school, Mike stumbles upon the mysterious janitor who is about to jump into the river. Surprised, Mike jumped out of the car to save him, but the cleaner suddenly disappeared, but Mike himself was washed into the river and miraculously became the same as when he was 17 years old. ”

"Not going back in time?" Ex asked.

"It's just that the protagonist has changed into his 17-year-old appearance, and everything around him hasn't changed, including his family and friends!" Lin Mingyang explained.

"Back to 17?" Ex was stunned for a moment, he thought that Lin Mingyang was also 17 years old now, and he didn't think that such a design was just a coincidence. When an adult man is in the midst of a frustration that he can't grasp, he prefers to think back to what he was like when he was younger, which Ex thinks is completely understandable.

"Imagine if you were 17 years old now, your friends thought you were a burglary criminal, and you and your children became classmates, what would happen next? I think there's a very important cinematic concept in that, which is to do everything all over again and turn the course of your whole life. If you start over with knowledge that you have to gain through the passage of time, the decisions you make will naturally change, and the results will be completely different. ”

"That's what you came up with?" Ex had to admit that Lin Mingyang's idea was definitely a perfect score in terms of creativity, and at the same time, he also had a strong interest in the plot: "And then? ”

After the initial confusion, he decided to go back to high school.

"Take this opportunity to pick up girls everywhere and enjoy your youth again?"

Then you are afraid that you will be disappointed, and when he returned to high school, he became his daughter's classmate, became his son's bosom friend, and worked hard to mend his relationship with his wife. Of course, none of them knew that Mike had gotten younger, so it caused a lot of jokes. When everything was going well, Mike forgot what he was like now and couldn't help but kiss his wife in front of everyone, which caused a lot of controversy. ”

"With such an arrangement, the ending is not easy to clean up!"

"In the end, it was a basketball game similar to that that year that would determine Mike's future. His wife, who had come to watch with his daughter, left because he remembered the old story, and he made the same choice again - he handed the basketball to his son who was standing on the sidelines and left the court resolutely. Only then did he realize that he had never regretted his choice at that time. In the dimly lit hallway, he turned back into the fat, undesirable middle-aged man... When Mike catches up with his wife and picks her up, he finally wins back her heart. I believe that such a story can resonate with all those who see it, because many people have experienced this kind of life-changing moment, and a decision that led you to a certain path in life. And then you keep wondering, if you went back in time and made another choice, what would it be like now? ”

Acknowledging that he was conquered by Lin Mingyang's story, Exx believes that the film will be very interesting when it is made, but he has one last question: "Where is my role in this story?" ”

"You're going to play as Mike's best friend, and in order to be able to help Mike get back to school, you'll be temporarily his father, and then you'll take him with you to meet the principal of the old high school."

"Martha?"

"That's right, and then you fell in love with the headmaster at first sight, launched a ridiculous marriage proposal, and finally the serious headmistress was also convinced by the endless tricks of this weird guy of you, and then you will be together." After Lin Mingyang finished speaking, he winked at him.

Ex stood up excitedly, "I love this script!" ”

"Then you're not going to say a few words of thanks?"

"Well, Felix I love you!"
