Tang Yulan listened to what the two of them said, and didn't care about it, and said, "Mr. Baker, can you talk about the filming first?" ”

"Of course." Matthew Baker hurriedly instructed his assistant to take the briefcase, took out a thick sheet of script paper from it, and said: "I had this idea three years ago, and I wanted to adapt it into a movie based on the Great Eiffela Robbery. The script was written on and off for almost a year. The film still follows the usual Hollywood model, with the theme of saving the world. However, this time, the image of the savior was changed from a blonde and blue-eyed European and American actor to a black-haired and brown-eyed Mr. Tang. ”

Tang Yulan took the script, crossed Erlang's legs, and asked: "Big director, you should be very clear about the market, you gringos are very reluctant to let me star in the movie, and they don't necessarily pay the bill." Besides, I don't know anything about acting, so I'm not competent at all, but Robert Lehman is good, long...... It's quite Peugeot. He refused very tactfully, knowing that it would take a long time to shoot a movie like this, and for Tang Yulan, there was not so much time to spend on filming a movie.

Matthew Baker shook his head and said firmly: "Mr. Tang, Head Tang, don't make conclusions so hastily. I didn't deliberately research the market, and I didn't need to. It seems to me that they don't know what a real movie is until you shoot it and put it in front of people's eyes. Mr. Bruce Lee ushered in the era of kung fu, and you, Mr. Tang, can push this era to the highest point. He clasped his hands tightly together, because of the force, the thick knuckles were slightly white, leaning over, and said excitedly: "Head Tang, it doesn't matter if you are busy, this movie can be shot for two years, three years, or even five years, or longer, and many Hollywood first-line actors will play supporting roles for you in it, or even ......."

Matthew Baker paused deliberately, 02 looked at Shen Shuting, and said: "Even, some simple shots such as dating Miss Shen, as well as shopping and eating, can be replaced by stand-ins, our special effects and makeup team are absolutely professional, and they can do it as fake as real." ”

Tang Yulan secretly said in his heart: "This gringo actually took advantage of my relationship with Shen Shuting to tempt me by taking a walk and shopping with Shen Shuting. However, he said it very well earlier that people don't know what a real movie is until you shoot it and put it in front of people's eyes. ”

Matthew Baker saw that Tang Yulan did not refuse immediately, and he was overjoyed and said, "Mr. Tang, in terms of the script, you can take a look at it first, and we can negotiate and consider any problems." ”

"Hmm." Tang Yulan shook the thick paper and saw that the four big words "Shocking Catastrophe" were written on the homepage.

At that moment, there was a knock on the door.

Matthew Baker winked at his assistant and said, "Go over and have a look." He was a little unhappy in his heart, because a knock on the door interrupted his conversation with Tang Yulan.

Standing outside the door were several waiters, still holding dishes in their hands.

The waiter at the head said: "When several chefs heard that Head Tang was coming, they deliberately took out their skills and made a few new dishes. I have long heard that Captain Tang advocates frugality, so there are no precious ingredients in it. ”

Tang Yulan nodded lightly and said, "Let it go." He glanced at the script twice and said, "I'll think about this matter seriously." ”

Matthew Baker rubbed his hands together and said with a smile: "Mr. Tang's 'Devil's Concerto' has become a masterpiece. I think Mr. Tang is very spiritual in music, art or performance, and I believe that Mr. Tang will definitely be able to create miracles in film and television. ”

Listening to Matthew Baker's constant high hats, Tang Yulan elegantly puffed out the smoke ring and began to read the script.

He saw very quickly, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it in ten lines at a glance. Tang Yulan felt that the story in the script was very bad, and it couldn't attract his attention at all.

Matthew Baker was very helpless, if others did this, he would have been furious, but Tang Yulan was his savior, even if there was anything rude, he had to be patient.

02 "Yes, very good. Tang Yulan closed the script and praised: "The story theme is novel, the logic is rigorous, the ups and downs, and the interlocking links are better than the previous "Night Cat: Darkness Descends", "American Company Commander", and "Iron Man". ”

"Uh......" Matthew Baker was stupid, he couldn't believe that Tang Yulan had finished reading the script so quickly. But his praise was so genuine that he couldn't tell the truth from the fake.

Tang Yulan continued: "When this movie is filmed, it must be very interesting. Unlike our domestic movies, we know preaching all day long, and there is nothing new about it, which causes people to be visually fatigued. It is worthy of being a work created by a first-class screenwriter in Hollywood, and China just lacks such an excellent screenwriter. Watching domestic dramas and those movies, the male protagonists are all righteous and awe-inspiring, jealous and hateful, either for the national righteousness or for the national righteousness, and put themselves in a fairy-like position. But ......"

Matthew Baker smelled the heavy smell of smoke coming out of Tang Yulan's mouth, coughed lightly twice, held his ears, and said, "Mr. Tang, what do you think, please speak." ”

Tang Yulan tapped his fingers on the table and said slowly: "If this movie is shot according to the current script, it has become a high-quality product, and it can have a lot of gains in word-of-mouth and box office, but from an artistic point of view, there are still many shortcomings." ”

Shen Shuting took a small bite of tofu lightly, her bright eyes widened in surprise, and she looked at Tang Yulan incredulously.

Even if Tang Yulan has defeated the super soldier and has a lot of life experience, he shouldn't be so ignorant. Matthew Baker is a very famous director in Hollywood, with unparalleled box office appeal, and Tang Yulan is a complete layman to movies.

Tang Yulan said: "At present, Hollywood movies have a single and old value, and even this movie is not immune. The film is kidnapped by 3D and stunts, and although it is easy to get a high box office and will be talked about for a while, the film lacks rich connotation. Therefore, it will lead to many deep-seated audience dissatisfaction, and mainland audiences who have always liked Hollywood blockbusters also have many complaints. ”

Matthew Baker rubbed his thumb on his broad forehead, pursed his lips into a straight line, pondered for a moment, and said: "Mr. Tang's analysis is very reasonable, the key is the depletion of history and culture, which cannot give us screenwriters enough inspiration, and the movies we are fighting have too many works, and it is difficult to dig out new content." Therefore, many screenwriters focus on switching between reality and the future, and expose human nature more deeply, which is still very marketable. Speaking of this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and the palm on his forehead slammed on the table, and said: "Haha, I know what Mr. Tang wants to express, there are still many things that can be excavated in this part of the Efila Hotel." The more life and death are at the juncture, the more they can express their humanity, and here they can express more connotation. ”

Tang Yulan said lightly: "The script can be more perfect, take the gangsters as an example, why did they rob and kidnap you, is it just for money?" Robber No. 2's father is seriously ill and wants to raise money to send him to the best hospital for treatment, and Robber No. 3 wants to buy a diamond ring and a sports car to pursue the girl he loves. There are also robbers No. 4 and robbers No. 5, and the character of each character can be portrayed through simple things. In this way, the audience is more concerned about the life and death of the robbers, and they have a stronger sense of expectation for the film. ”

Matthew Baker nodded approvingly and said, "What about the number one robber?" ”

Tang Yulan said with a smile: "This is the most important thing, it can be a criminal artist, a schizophrenic patient, a high-IQ person, there are many opinions about his origins, his ability is amazing, he can see through people's psychological changes, and easily play with people." And the mind is extremely crazy, not for money, not even for fame, the reason for the crime can be very simple, simply because he is boring. ”

Matthew Baker nodded approvingly and said, "Mr. Tang, there is an ancient Chinese saying that what is said to be 'golden and jade good words', which is really suitable to describe your words today. ”

Shen Shuting held her chin, looking a little bored, she didn't have a deep study of the script, and she didn't particularly understand what the two of them were talking about.

"The biggest problem with the script is that the main character is so perfectly designed." Tang Yu's blue eyes flickered.

Matthew Baker said, "Oh? Isn't that bad? ”

"The perfect protagonist, there are too many people who will worship it, and can only appreciate it from afar." Tang Yulan smiled: "The protagonist in my heart is an ordinary person, it may be you, it may be her, or even the environmental protection worker downstairs." Whether it's Alexander, Jehovah, or Lincoln the Great, there are so many characters for people to look up to. In the case of rescuing the Grand Hotel Efira, I feel that it can be slightly modified. ”

"How?" Matthew Baker asked with a frown.

"It's simple." Tang Yulan said: "The protagonist is not rushing to rescue these celebrities, but to pick up his girlfriend from work at night, and he happened to find that there was a robbery in the hotel where his girlfriend was, and his girlfriend was trapped inside." Relying on his strong skills, the protagonist successfully saves his girlfriend and wants to leave. But the number one robber has long regarded the protagonist as a mouse in a cage and refuses to let go. and shot and killed the beautiful female star who has always been of great help to the protagonist in the hotel, and finally angered the protagonist and made the protagonist come forward. In the end, he managed to save everyone. ”

After listening to Tang Yulan's words, Matthew Baker and Shen Shuting's faces were a little strange.

Especially Shen Shuting, she felt that the big star who was killed was talking about herself, and glanced at Tang Yulan with resentment.
