Life after becoming the richest man is boring, with invitations to various banquets every day, such as charity galas, celebrity gatherings or government invitations. In this regard, Shao Shuaijun's answer is that he needs to prepare a new script and has no time! Then continue to learn to fly an airplane.

It wasn't until mid-November that North America Summit Entertainment held a quarterly summary meeting, and Shao Shuaijun finished teaching, and together with Li Xiuxiu, who came to visit him, he flew to Los Angeles on a small passenger plane "BL901 Global Express" that had just been delivered.

BL901 is a long-range high-speed business transport aircraft developed by Canada, with a passenger capacity of only a dozen people, but it is enough to accommodate Shao Shuaijun and his party, including assistants and bodyguards, and it is very fast. According to Shao Shuaijun's meaning, the cabin has been changed to the appearance of a small living room, with a bar, a kitchen, and a special small movie theater, where you can watch movies while eating on the plane.

Shao Shuaijun had a hard time sleeping on the transportation, and he didn't want to waste time, just so he could watch a movie.

The plane flew into the blue sky and white clouds, Li Xiuxiu and Zhang Huahua were chatting about skin care products, and Shao Shuaijun opened the cinema and began to watch the movie.

"Thomas, you can't do that."

In the movie, Jack. Gyllenhill held a gun and trembled at the masked man in the alley in front of him, who was robbing. I was quite hesitant in my heart, and I didn't dare to pull the trigger with the gun, and finally my eyes flashed, and the gunshot rang out.

This is a fragment from "The Night Watchman", Shao Shuaijun's first original film, and the only failed work, the product of fluttering. Freeze the movie. Shao Shuaijun picked up a notebook on the table, opened it casually, and turned to a certain page, on which there was a detailed summary of the plot of the movie just now.

"The scene of Thomas's murder does not show a strong inner conflict, and the crime of the robber does not show the guilt succinctly, and the two are not enough to compare. And the use of the lens is too casual, there is no specific rhythm, and the combination of close-ups and long shots is chaotic and fragmented. It is recommended to add a flashback shot here to make the close-up more fully integrated into the shot. Don't isolate it. ”

Look at the notebook. Looking at the freeze-frame picture again, Shao Shuaijun held his chin and thought. He didn't know how many times he had thought about it in private.

"This little girl is so interesting, Sister Xiu. As soon as she saw the little boy's blue eyes. I was hooked. She was only a few years old at the time. Americans are so early in love, and the little girl said to herself that her first kiss should be kept for the little boy. On the other side, Li Xiuxiu and Zhang Huahua talked. It suddenly came to Shao Shuaijun's ears.

"Eyes?"

Shao Shuaijun seemed to have thought of something, and his brows furrowed tightly. In the freeze-frame frame, Thomas's eyes seem to suddenly become larger and larger, and then all the images are reflected. Shao Shuaijun was shocked suddenly, inspiration flowed, grabbed the pen and added another paragraph to the notebook.

"Don't have a separate memory picture, add a close-up of Thomas's eyes before Thomas shoots, you can embed the memory picture, on the pupil. The embedded image then becomes the reflection of the robber, so that the conflict immediately becomes more subtle, without deliberately depicting the respective actions of the robber and Thomas. ”

Putting down the pen, Shao Shuaijun seems to have conceived this picture in his mind, which is a very cool way of expression. In particular, the eyeballs presented in IMAX are absolutely cool, and there can be a lot of special effects to show emotional changes.

After thinking for a while with satisfaction, Shao Shuaijun continued to watch other movie clips. "The Night Watchman" is his heart disease, and for more than a year, he has not been able to really let go, and he has been constantly thinking about how to make the movie more perfect. "Night Watchman" is Shao Shuaijun's original idea, and his original plan was to portray a superhero like a lone hero.

But being too superstitious about his own way of telling stories and too obsessed with this kind of subtle lens display made the audience confused and became a super bad movie. Christopher. With "Spider-Man: The Dark Knight", Nolan has successfully created the most epic dark superhero.

made Shao Shuaijun can't bear to look at it directly, his night watchman is a joke compared to Batman, which makes him feel like a fish in his throat, and he can't swallow it and never be able to calm down. Basically, most of his private leisure time is occupied by "The Night Watchman", and no matter how popular other movies he shoots, he can't fill the hole in his heart.

After watching the movie like this for a while, Li Xiuxiu suddenly came over with a book in her arms: "Look at this book, it's very good." ”

"What?" Shao Shuaijun picked up the book, and on the cover was written "FLIPPED", the meaning of this English word is "flipping, flipping", the usage is very complicated, it can describe things turned over, and it can also describe the mood turned over. But when Shao Shuaijun opened the content, he saw what it was talking about.

He knew that the title of the book translated was "Heartbeat".

American writer Wendlin. Fan. The novel written by De La Anan was later written by Rob Brown, the director of "Walk with Me". Reiner made a movie, and that was about two years later. The movie "Heartbeat" failed to enter mainstream theaters due to insufficient publicity funds, and was only released in dozens of theaters in North America, but it won countless praises and praises.

"In the book, the two little girls and the little boy are very cute, the pure love between children, not mixed with any adult troubles, carefree, simple likes and dislikes." Li Xiuxiu said excitedly, and then glanced at Shao Shuaijun with disdain, "If it is made into a movie, it will definitely be better than your "500 Days with Shamo". ”

Shao Shuaijun raised his eyebrows: "Who still watches two children play at home these days, this is early love in China." You can watch the "Eight Knives" "The Girl Who Chased Together in Those Years" that we invested, if you want to release it in the mainland, it is estimated that it will take some twists and turns to encourage early love, and it is strange that radio and television are not clicking. ”

"I said it's not good-looking, what are you doing with early love, hum, Huahua, you say,

IS "FLIPPED" BETTER THAN "500 DAYS WITH SHAMO"? ”

"FLIPPED, OF COURSE, IS GOOD." Zhang Huahua did not hesitate to join Li Xiuxiu's camp, she could already see it. Between Shao Shuaijun and Li Xiuxiu, it is obvious that Li Xiuxiu's status is higher and more worthy of refuge.

Shao Shuaijun flattened his mouth: "I didn't say that it was not good-looking, two different types of pure love stories, "500 Days with Shamo" is about the love concept of adults, and "FLIPPED" is about the shallow love between children, not even love, but the good feelings between each other. If you want to say pure love, it must be "FLIPPED" that won. But you have to say true love. "500 Days with Shamo" is clearly superior. ”

"That's the way it is, have you seen it?"

"Of course I've read it, don't doubt it, I'm well-read!" Shao Shuaijun said proudly. When it comes to two lifetimes combined. He's in his thirties. In my last life, I wanted to be a director. The books and movies that have been studied are definitely many times more than the average person.

Zhang Huahua asked hopefully: "Boss, if you have seen it." Why don't you make it into a movie, what a good story, it will definitely attract a large audience, maybe it will be another "500 Days with Shamo" so gold-absorbing. ”

"Talking about early love?"

"What's wrong with early love, I think this kind of early love is more educational, Julie and Bryce recognize and like each other, isn't it just to establish a correct outlook on life for children, like a person can't be liked from the surface, you have to like his connotation, how good, Sister Xiu, what do you say?"

Li Xiuxiu nodded: "Huahua is right." ”

"Let's talk about it." Shao Shuaijun waved his hand, left the book, and flipped through it casually.

Seeing that Shao Shuaijun didn't move, Li Xiuxiu and Zhang Huahua sat back regretfully and started talking about skin care products again. And after Shao Shuaijun flipped through "FLIPED" for a while, he simply put the notebook of "Night Watchman" and the script of "The Hunger Games" on the table, and looked at it again and again.

Soon, Shao Shuaijun put away the notebook of "Night Watchman", he didn't know what he thought, he studied "Night Watchman" every day, but "Night Watchman" was already a thing of the past.

Looking at the remaining book and a script, Shao Shuaijun pondered. To be honest, "The Hunger Games" is a commercial film, a commercial film like "Twilight", Shao Shuaijun can direct or not, for him, "Twilight" has given up, and "The Hunger Games" doesn't matter.

And "Heartbeat" is indeed a good movie, but it was not in his plan before, and the box office is unknown.

But Lee so-so loved the book and wanted to make it into a movie.

Is it to make money first, or to please women first?

That's a problem.

Looking left and right, in the end, love prevailed, and Shao Shuaijun put away the script of "The Hunger Games": "Forget it, postpone "The Hunger Games", and shoot "Heartbeat" first." After making up his mind, Shao Shuaijun immediately asked Zhang Huahua to contact Wendelin after getting off the plane. Fan. DELLA ANNAN BOUGHT THE RIGHTS TO FLIPPED.

A writer who is not famous, a general novel that sells, is easy to buy.

"Oye, the boss is wise." Zhang Huahua laughed.

Li Xiuxiu also smiled, and then asked in a low voice: "Are you really planning to shoot, if you don't want to shoot, forget it, it's not bad to shoot "The Hunger Games", you have been preparing for a long time." ”

"It's not bad for me to shoot anything, anyway, the rights are bought, and I can shoot whenever I want, isn't it? The story of this "FLIPPED" is very simple, the scenes are very simple, except for the little actors who spend a little time to act, everything else is very simple, and it can be done in a month or two, without delaying my time. ”

Shao Shuaijun smiled indifferently, 2008 has reached the end of November, and the time is getting closer and closer to 2013, and the money-making movies that can be shot first are all under his command through screenwriting, acquisition or self-directing, and the remaining films adapted from novels have also purchased the adaptation rights of the movie and can be shot at any time.

So, time doesn't seem to be so important to him anymore.

It only takes a few minutes to think about deciding what to shoot, but it takes a lot of time to prepare for filming, and Shao Shuaijun didn't plan to adapt the script before buying the copyright. After getting off the plane, I rushed directly to the villa in Santa Monica, rested for a day, and tomorrow Lee so-so will have a meeting. As for Shao Shuaijun, you can go to audit or not, anyway, he rarely takes care of things, the company is on the right track, and it is the same with him or not.

Zhang Huahua's movements were very fast, and she contacted Wen Delin. Fan. After De La Annan, he bought the copyright of "Heartbeat" at a not too high price. Wendelin is very happy to be able to work with Shao Shuaijun, but she has one request, that is, she hopes to be able to serve as the screenwriter of the film and try to adapt the script as much as possible.

Shao Shuaijun agreed, Wendelin is not only a writer, but also a screenwriter, working in a TV station, with her joining the crew, the adaptation of the movie will be easier and fit the taste of the original book. At most, Wendelin is just making suggestions, and the power of how to shoot is in the hands of Shao Shuaijun.

Originally, the casting director and producer, Shao Shuaijun still chose Mitchell. Bruce, but now that Summit Entertainment is preparing to go public, Mitchell has no time to take on it. Fortunately, the peak entertainer has a big career, and Louis Lee, who served as the casting director of "Twilight". Lenard will serve Shao Shuaijun and help the crew of "Heartbeat" choose roles.

"Heartbeat" tells a very innocent and simple story.

Bryce. Roski moved to town with his parents, and second-grader Julie. The moment Baker saw Bryce's blue eyes, his heart was struck by him, and his heart was pounding. She wants to get close to Bryce, but Bryce has no feelings for her, and instead hates her.

Because Julie likes to raise chickens and likes to sit in the plane tree and watch the scenery, Bryce is quite confused, how can a girl take this as fun?

The tree is in the way of someone building a house and wants to cut it down, and Julie defends it to the death, and wants Bryce to do the same. Bryce didn't understand Julie's approach and didn't help her, and when the tree was cut down, Julie was so sad that she didn't go to school on the school bus with Bryce anymore.

Later, Julie won the first place in the science and technology exhibition with the hatching chick project, which overshadowed Bryce. Later, she raised the chicks and gave the eggs to the Bryce family. The Bryce family disliked Julie's messy house and suspected that the eggs were unhygienic, so Bryce threw them away.

This made Julie even more sad, and she began to think that Bryce's blue eyes might be as empty as himself. She was no longer impulsive for Bryce, she examined herself and gave up the so-called "love" for the sake of dignity. She sticks to her life and doesn't feel that poverty is anything to be inferior.

By eighth grade, Bryce began to notice that Julie was unusual, that she liked to sit in a tree because it allowed her to see farther away, and that she raised chickens because it would allow her to support her family. Her pride in her family makes her attractive. Bryce began to like Julie.

He told his friend that he laughed at him and at Julie's uncle with cerebral palsy, and Bryce reluctantly echoed his friend, which Julie heard. He was very upset, but he didn't know what to do, he saw Julie laughing with others, and he wanted to kiss her.

Julie ran away and never saw him again.

Bryce regretted it, and he decided to plant a plane tree in Julie's yard...... (To be continued......)
