Chapter 187: The Fastest Script in History [Asking for a Monthly Pass for Ruthless Feather to Become the Helmsman]
Meteorologist Jack. Hall (Dennis. Quaid) and his co-authors have predicted that the greenhouse effect, melting glaciers, dilution of sea salinity, and changes in ocean currents could disrupt the climate system at some point in the future, and have made long-term recommendations for reporting to dignitaries at a scientific symposium.
But for the sake of economic interests, the vice president of the United States ignored his warning.
However, the climate upheaval has begun, and the marine meteorologists who also attended the seminar returned to the high-latitude monitoring stations in the United Kingdom after the meeting, and found that marine monitors in Georgia, Greenland and other seas have issued warnings of rapid cooling of the sea water one after another.
The station was unable to analyze and calculate the huge amount of data due to the constraints of the monitoring station, so he turned to Dr. Hall, who had returned to Washington, D.C., and his meteorological agency for help.
At the same time, signs of climate anomalies began to appear in many parts of Shijie.
Fist-sized hailstones fell in Tokyo, Japan, severe tornadoes hit Los Angeles in the United States, rare typhoons plagued Australia, and continuous thunderstorms in Washington.
Dr. Hall's son, Sam, and his favorite girl fly from Washington to New York to participate in a quiz, but New York is also experiencing bad weather with dark clouds and heavy rain. Birds migrate in large numbers, and the zoo animals are extremely agitated.
After the race, the weather was getting worse and worse, with heavy rain paralyzing New York traffic and chaos in the city.
In the midst of this torrential rain, mountains of waves broke through the harbor and poured into the city, rampaging through the streets with heavy losses.
Sam and his party rushed to the public library in New York in time to avoid the risk at the critical moment.
The situation in Europe is also very serious, and the flight team that went to rescue the British royal family died on the way due to the sharp drop in temperatures, which caused them to freeze quickly within seconds of exiting the cabin.
The same scenario is brewing in Siberia and Canada, and after the hard work of Hall's team, data from weather stations in the UK has finally come to a frightening conclusion: a new glacial period is coming.
Sam gets in touch with his father through the library's landline. Learn about the great dangers you may face.
Soon after, a cold spell hit New York, and the sea froze. Many citizens began to migrate spontaneously, leaving the city.
Sam had tried every possible means to stop their needless adventure, but with little success.
After several attempts, Dr. Hall finally convinced the U.S. management that the U.S. president had decided to follow his advice and evacuate the people to the south. The masses in the north had no time to escape because of the tight schedule, so they had to support themselves and tide over the difficulties.
Large numbers of Americans have moved south with their families and forced their way across the U.S.-Mexico border in search of survival.
Dramatic cooling began to occur in New York. The few people who remained in the library survived by burning books.
Hall and his team drove and walked all the way north to rescue Sam and the others.
After a long journey and tragic sacrifices, the surviving people were finally found in the vast and devastated New York City after the snowstorm.
Soon after, government planes arrived to reinforce the country, and humanity ushered in a new era after the upheaval.
While Choi Jung-won was working hard to create the plot, Spielberg, Michael. Bei, Situ Keke, and many staff members were all crowded behind him.
Everyone held their breath and savored every word he wrote.
One can just think about it. Is it possible to create a perfect script in an instant? Obviously not, no matter how talented a person is, he has to go through many assumptions and revisions before a script can be released.
Although Cui Zhengyuan has experienced rebirth, he is still an ordinary person. No superpowers. There's no magic, so neither can he.
It's just that rebirth is the biggest cheat, making the impossible possible.
For Choi Jung-won, who has countless classic movie plots in his head, these are just pieces of cake. The only thing to worry about is. Typing too fast makes your fingers too tired.
The script of a movie is not long, and it only took him less than two and a half hours to complete the "creation".
During this time. Spielberg and Michael. Bei watched the whole process and had already imprinted the content of the script deeply in his mind.
The speed of typing is obviously not as fast as the speed of viewing, because hand speed is limited and the uptake of reading is too fast. Just like the article above at the beginning, it can take two to three hours for the author to write a chapter. And the reader can read it in five minutes at the slowest pace.
So when Cui Zhengyuan finished writing it all, the two directors were already excited because of the plot.
Before Cui Zhengyuan could breathe a sigh of relief, Spielberg grabbed him by the shoulder. At this moment, the old man burst out with all his enthusiasm and exclaimed vigorously. "Oh my God, Choi, you're truly a complete genius. Should I really send you to the institute to have a good dissection to see how your mind is made? ”
Cui Zhengyuan was startled and hurriedly assumed a defensive posture. He has always felt that plagiarizing these classic things will not be discovered.
Thinking that the speaker is unintentional and the listener is intentional, Spielberg's crooked attack is correct, but he can tell the weakness of a reborn person.
It's good for Michael. Bei interrupted Cui Zhengyuan's shock, "Cui, I love you to death." This one will definitely shock shijie. Oh my God, what kind of film is this? Disaster movies, God couldn't have imagined that disaster movies could be filmed like this. ”
He grabbed Spielberg again, his face distorted with excitement. "Steven, are you ready? The Oscar for Best Picture is ours. ”
For big directors like him and Spielberg, there are few secrets in the Hollywood film industry about which company and director is making movies.
More than half of 2001 has passed, and none of the films before the summer vacation can compete with the script written by Cui Zhengyuan.
Whether it is the quality of the movie itself, the audience's reputation, or the box office, it is not very ideal. Even Spielberg's own filming, "Artificial Intelligence", which has just been released, will be suppressed by this script.
In fact, there are not many scenes that require a big production in this movie, and the acting skills of the actors are also average. The surprising success lies in its themes and ideas, which completely break through the scope of previous films of the same genre.
All the wonderful shots in it are basically made through computer special effects, but they do not go beyond the scope of the existing jishu. For DreamWorks' special effects team, it was no fuss. I believe that in less than three months, all the work will be completed.
And in the meantime. All other shots can be shot. If you do the math, you may be able to catch up with this year's Christmas schedule. When the time comes, it shouldn't be a problem to compete for the Oscars.
Although Spielberg is a great director who has achieved fame, I don't know how many times he has won the Oscar. But people don't care about honors, and no matter when, the Oscar for Best Picture is a very exciting award.
As for the awards for Best Director, Best Actor and others, Spielberg and Michael. Bei saw it very clearly, with this movie is hopeless.
But there is still some hope for the best special effects and the best plot. But it's not big. At least it's hard to compete with "Artificial Intelligence".
Seeing that the boss was so happy, the others also cheered. This proves that they have a job to do and money to earn.
It wasn't until the two of them had gone crazy enough that Spielberg remembered the key question. "By the way, Choi, what's the name of this movie?"
"The day after tomorrow." Two words gently spit out from Cui Zhengyuan's mouth.
Yes, that's right, Choi Jung-won plagiarized this masterpiece of the history of disaster films.
I believe that at this time, the impact of "The Day After Tomorrow" will definitely not be less than that of "Transformers". And because of the unpopular subject matter. It's going to be even more fascinating.
Originally, Cui Zhengyuan thought of another classic masterpiece - "Bomb Disposal Unit".
But considering that 9/11 has not even happened, it is inappropriate to describe the story of the US attack on Iraq.
Only "The Day After Tomorrow" is the most in line with the current situation.
First of all, the script is good, at this year's Oscars. It's not a problem to win a few awards.
Secondly, it's a big production. There are a lot of classic movies in his mind, but either the means of Jishu are not enough, or the demand for funds is too great. Only "The Day After Tomorrow" does not have this problem, and the difficulty of filming is the least.
Otherwise. Cui Zhengyuan directly took out "The Lord of the Rings" to see how good.
Again, low requirements for other parts. To be honest, it doesn't matter if the few characters in "The Day After Tomorrow" are played by someone else. After all, this movie is not a test of actors' acting skills. In this way, there is no need to delay the filming process for the sake of the actor's schedule.
You must know that after such a long delay, not only Spielberg and others, but also investors have been urged.
Anyway, seeing everyone's surprise, Cui Zhengyuan knew that he had done the right thing.
After the warm atmosphere passed, everyone began to get into the working state. "Choi, do you have any recommendations for actors?"
Achievements determine status, and he came up with an excellent script on the spot, which made Cui Zhengyuan's status extremely lofty in the eyes of a great director.
Spielberg now has immense trust in Choi Jung-won. Anyone who sees a script created within an hour or two will have this trust, which is probably the shortest record of creation time in the history of Shijie films.
Cui Zhengyuan thinks it's better to follow the original work, if the original starring actor doesn't have a schedule, it's not too late to make changes. "Jack. Hall's role can be played by Dennis. Quaid comes to play, and Hall's son can choose Jack. Gyllenhill. If these two don't have time, you can choose someone else. I'm sure you can see that the requirements for actors in this movie are really not high. ”
"You're right, Choi. I didn't expect you to be so researched about the filming of movies, and it seems that we should really cooperate when we have time. "Michael. Bey agreed.
Seeing that they had finished speaking, Situ Keke came up and playfully tugged at Spielberg's goatee. "Alright, dear Uncle Steven, are you satisfied now? If you have any difficulties in the future, just find Brother Zhengyuan, and I will definitely solve it for you. ”
"Oh, girl, let go. Without a beard, how can I scare those disobedient employees in the future? Spielberg had no choice but to struggle with unconvincing reasons.
Speaking of which, it is also Situ Keke's elf who is eccentric and sweet and lovely. For a person like Spielberg who has watched her grow up since childhood, it's too late to love, where is he willing to say heavy things?
And the girl's frolic has always been very measured, and it will not be offensive.
Cui Zhengyuan couldn't stand it anymore and stepped forward to stop her nonsense. "Alright. Coco, don't disturb Steven's train of thought. You see, the little girl you brought with you is almost asleep. ”
"Huh?" was told by Cui Zhengyuan, Situ Keke remembered the little girl he brought over. When I turned around, I saw the little girl sitting quietly in the corner alone, her little head growing little by little.
She didn't understand what the adults were talking about, and she was afraid that she would disturb others. So when everyone was engrossed in watching Cui Zhengyuan's creation, she quietly found a corner to sit down and rest.
It's been too long, and she's already a little tired. As a result, no one noticed, and she fell asleep alone.
Look at her well-behaved appearance. Everyone lowered their voices unconsciously, for fear of waking up this little girl who looked like an elf.
Isn't it, a pink dress with two pigtails tied behind her bangs. Each one also has a crystal butterfly on it, and the lifelike appearance is just like the real thing. Two small calves like lotus roots, and a pair of delicate red princess shoes on the feet.
knew that the girl should rest, but today Situ Keke suddenly saw Cui Zhengyuan, but he didn't want to be separated from him.
So her gaze wandered back and forth between the two, looking very tangled. What did Choi Zhengyuan do when he came to the United States. She knew.
Because Cui Jichan had already informed Situ Jingyuan and asked the American Hongmen to help take care of it. After the secret agent's night attack, Cui Zhengyuan's everything made the family very nervous.
She was originally going to wait until her affairs were done before she went to meet Cui Zhengyuan. Who would have thought of such a coincidence. But I ran into him here at Spielberg.
After today, Cui Zhengyuan will start to be busy again, and I don't know what year and month I want to meet again. Let Situ Keke be separated from him like this, he must be unwilling.
It's not that Situ Keke has any thoughts about Cui Zhengyuan. She is two years younger than Cui Zhengyuan. Although girls are generally precocious, their minds are not so sound.
The two of them haven't seen each other for several years, and when Cui Zhengyuan was a child, he took care of her like a brother. This miss is more like family affection than anything else.
Seeing her dilemma, Spielberg smiled: "Okay, Cui, things are almost over here, you can find a place to catch up on your own." ”
"Really? I knew Uncle Steven was the best. The old man's understanding made Situ Keke very excited, shaking his arm and patting him vigorously.
Cui Zhengyuan asked, "Steven, are you sure you're okay here?" I'm telling you, I'm going back to Los Angeles tomorrow. If there is anything, it is better to deal with it all at once today. In the future, even if you beg grandpa to sue grandma, I won't have time to help you. "Calculating the time, he will prepare for the shooting of the MV when he goes back, and I am afraid that it will not end in ten days and half a month.
This time he was busy, and it was dark, and he couldn't stand running at both ends even if he was beaten with iron.
Spielberg was determined, urging them to leave. "Don't worry, lad. Filming movies, I'm much better than you. Such a drama that doesn't have much plot and acting skills, and you have to keep mentioning it, I'm not too inferior? ”
Cui Zhengyuan thinks about it, "Saving Private Ryan" and "Schindler's List", which test the director's skills very much, Spielberg can handle it flawlessly.
There's no reason why he can't do a disaster movie, at most it's not his strong point in special effects. But don't forget, he also has Michael by his side. The presence of shellfish.
This person's fame is based on science fiction movies, which of the previous life "Transformers", "Jedi Warriors" and "Shijie Doomsday" are not full of science fiction.
I believe that with his assistance, Spielberg will definitely be able to produce a more "The Day After Tomorrow" than the original. Otherwise, I'm sorry for the $70 million production cost, isn't it?
After thinking about it, he said goodbye to everyone. Compared to how much Situ Keke missed him, he had more important things to say to her.
Living in the United States for a long time to come, with the help of Hongmen, it will be much easier to deal with the enemy.
I believe that Cui Jichan also notified Situ Jingyuan in advance out of this consideration.
But before leaving, he gave Spielberg a phone number, which was Blizzard CEO Mike Brown. Mohan's.
Not only everyone in DreamWorks, but also Cui Zhengyuan himself is also angry about not being able to shoot "Transformers".
At this time, Blizzard was researching the application of 3D animation effects in online games, which is the prototype of "Warcraft shijie".
Cui Zhengyuan thought about asking Spielberg to contact Blizzard to see if there was a way to share it.
Don't underestimate that Blizzard is just a game company, but in terms of computer 3D use, they are more advanced than all the movie companies on shijie.
You can completely create a shijie space with the help of the Internet, not to mention helping DreamWorks make 3D models.
DreamWorks has a stake in the C.J Group, and Blizzard is a private company owned by Choi Jung-won.
He has now begun to consciously integrate the resources in his hands in order to maximize the benefits.
Although business management is not his strong point, if he wants to grasp the direction of the future, he must not rely on the help of others alone. Kim Young-min is going back, Han Sung-ho's ability is slightly insufficient, and Yoo Jae-seok doesn't even have a concept of money, which is not a long-term solution.
If you want to find someone from outside, you can't get his trust.
Anyway, he is still young, and the most important thing is time, so Cui Zhengyuan has begun to let himself get in touch with and learn the knowledge of business management.
He is not a person who waits for help, and the future business empire must be born from his hands, which is the most fulfilling. As a person who is arrogant at heart, he doesn't want someone above the peak to accompany him.
He is not a person who will share, and all the honors and achievements are eager to be taken to himself. It is better to have the loneliness of being worshiped by all people than to benefit all sentient beings.
