"Can you tell us about your original intention or inspiration for writing this script?"

Despite believing in the pie? Kingsley wouldn't cheat on him about this kind of thing, and the woman and boy across from him didn't look like they were acting, but Harvey? Weinstein still has to make sure for himself before he can rest assured.

"The original intention? Inspiration? Ryan smiled knowingly, he knew very well that age was a big issue, but it was a help when used well, after all, some things coming out of an adult's mouth and a child's mouth are completely different things.

"Well, Mr. Weinstein, although I wrote the play as a thriller, it should essentially be relegated to family ethics. I don't know if Pat told you about it, I'm an orphan, I have been living in a welfare home before I was adopted by Nicole, and since I was sensible, everyone in the orphanage except the old director has called me a freak, no one wants to be friends with me, and no one wants to play with me. ”

Ryan smiled self-deprecatingly, "Of course, this has something to do with my somewhat withdrawn personality and somewhat out-of-the-box behavior, but it is undeniable that I have lived in a cold and indifferent environment since I was a child, especially when I watched my peers being adopted one by one, and I was never cared for, and sometimes I wondered, will someone help me out of this predicament?" ”

"Dean Katie of the orphanage is a warm-hearted lady, if she hadn't helped me, I really don't know how to survive those cold years, in a sense, Dr. Malcolm in the script is the embodiment of Dean Katie."

"When the old dean retired, something even worse happened to me, and the sky was not only cold for me, but also full of darkness. This went on until I accidentally got Nicole, took me in, and broke the bank into a lawsuit over the guardianship, without whom I couldn't imagine what I would be like. ”

Speaking of this, Ryan seemed to be touched by feelings, and showed a grateful smile to Nicole, "Although under Nicole's care, my personality is much more cheerful than before, but I am still a little withdrawn and detached, and I often get into trouble, whenever this happens, Nicole will have a good talk with me, not the kind of teaching reprimand, but the exchange and communication on an equal footing, as we get to know each other more and more, the feelings are getting deeper and deeper, those problems about communication in the script, That's why communication reduces the fear of the unknown and deepens the relationship between relatives, isn't it? ”

"Except for those supernatural things, most of this script is based on the life I experienced." Speaking of which, Ryan added in particular, "The single mother who loves her son deeply is actually the real Nicole, without her, there would be no story, and there is no script for "The Sixth Sense", I worked hard to write this script to commemorate this special friendship between me and her." ”

"Can you take the liberty of asking which orphanage it is?" Harvey? Weinstein's eyes sparkled.

"Right in Los Angeles, the Northston Welfare Home in North Hollywood."

Ryan didn't worry about the other party going to investigate or something, after all, almost all of what he said was true, but he just copied it into the script, and what he said was full of inadvertent hints and guidance.

Of course, Weinstein's experience will naturally detect this, but don't forget that Ryan is now only a child under the age of ten, and adults will wonder if the child is lying, but they will not think about whether some words have deliberately dug a hole for someone to step on.

Actually, after Ryan said this, Harvey? Weinstein already believed that a child under the age of ten could express his words so clearly and in an organized manner was enough to show how intelligent he was, not to mention, he had always been confident in his vision.

Besides, the Northton Welfare Institute is on the edge of Hollywood, and the truth of these words makes it clear at a glance if you ask casually.

"Ryan~" The boy's words made Nicole feel a lot more, although he knew that the two had a deep relationship, he didn't expect that he would always remember her kindness to him, and at this time, a thousand words could not compare to a hug full of feelings.

Yes, the fat man who hadn't fooled the other side had moved Nicole to a mess. Nestled in Nicole's soft arms, Ryan felt a little and a little helpless.

This script Harvey? Weinstein has read it more than once, and there are quite a few minor problems in it, especially in terms of lens division, but this is exactly what it was written by a novice, and he and his brother Bob? Weinstein discussed that the story is undeniably excellent, especially at the end, which will definitely surprise everyone.

Moreover, the investment in this type of film is not large, as long as there are no catastrophic problems, the profit is completely predictable, and he even has several candidates for the director and the actor.

But the little boy Cole is the most headache for him, it is not easy to bring such a unique boy to life, after so many years of making movies, Harvey? Weinstein knows that animals and children are two of the most uncontrollable beings in filmmaking, and it's hard to tell them what they need to say, especially children, when they perform poorly, they can directly ruin a movie, and when they perform well, they can save a movie.

However, after listening to Ryan's words, a thought couldn't help but pop up in his heart, since most of the content of the script is adapted from his experience, then Weishenme doesn't let him play this role, and even he doesn't need to substitute or deliberately perform, it is enough to maintain his true colors.

The most important thing is that he is a complete newcomer, and he can save a lot of money in terms of salary, besides, even if he holds a wide range of auditions for this role, who can guarantee that the selected boy will be more suitable for the role based on himself than him.

There is also that Australian woman is a well-known actor, I also watched her star in "Sail Over the Horizon" some time ago, in addition to being a little too beautiful, her acting skills are still quite good, and she can play the single mother, so that their feelings and experiences in reality will be moved to the big screen in another way, isn't it very suitable for publicity and hype?

This buy-one-get-two-free deal is simply too cost-effective, and as for the woman's age and appearance, under makeup and post-production, it is just a small trouble.

Almost in a moment, Harvey? These thoughts flashed through Weinstein's mind, and after calculating the pros and cons, I have to say that he is indeed a mercenary businessman.

"Ryan, Nicole, this script is very good, Miramax has already decided to make this movie, so we hope to buy this script as soon as possible, but Ryan is not a professional screenwriter and a newcomer, and the price will be lower, the price I can give is fifty thousand dollars."

Seeing the puzzlement and confusion on Ryan's face, Harvey? Weinstein explained, "It's Hollywood convention, and $50,000 is a lot for a newcomer." ”

Despite knowing Harvey? Weinstein is telling the truth, and he understands the status of Hollywood screenwriters in this era, but Ryan still finds it difficult to accept in his heart, after all, compared to the income of the movie, this money is a little pitiful, and it is not even comparable to the manuscript fee of one of his novellas.

Nicole is more familiar with Hollywood, and knows that the other party's offer does not deliberately lower the price, but she has never made decisions for boys in this kind of thing, and said at the moment, "Ryan, you make your own decision." ”

Sighing, Ryan could only look at his agent, and Ms. Kingsley nodded, "The price is fair." ”

"Mr. Weinstein, I agree to give this script to Miramax, and the specifics can be discussed with Pat."

Until now, Ryan can't be sure whether the other party jumped into the pit he dug or not, but there are some things that come out of his mouth and the other party takes the initiative to have a completely different effect unless it is absolutely necessary.

Harvey? Weinstein didn't let him waste his efforts in vain, in the case of Pie? After a few simple words, Kinsley looked directly at Nicole? Kidman, "Nicole, if I could, I would like to invite you to play the single mother in the script." ”

"Me?" Nicole clearly didn't expect it to be on her.

"Of course, it can be heard from Ryan's words that the prototype of this role is you, and no one is more suitable for this role than you!" Don't wait for Nicole to react, Harvey? Weinstein continued, "Age is not an issue, it's the relationship between you that matters, and I'm sure Ryan would love to see you on the big screen in that way." ”

"That's right, Ryan." Harvey? Weinstein looked at the boy and smiled like a fox.

"Yes. Nicole is unique to me. Ryan stared at the Aussie girl with bright eyes, Nicole? Kidman only thought for a second, then nodded, "Well, it looks like I don't have a choice. ”

"Since Nicole is going to play Mother, what about you, Ryan?" Harvey? Weinstein had a sense of treacherous success.

"Me?" Ryan feigned surprise, as if he really didn't understand the meaning of the other party's words, "What does this have to do with me?" ”

"Let's put it this way, Ryan, did you have any previous acting experience?"

"No, if playing the violin and guitar on the school stage doesn't count." Ryan shook his head, but there was another thought in his heart, does acting every minute and every second count?

Ryan's answer has gone beyond Harvey? Weinstein's anticipation, he preempted Nicole, who had a look of surprise, and said, "I want to invite you to play the role of Cole." ”

"I disagree!" Is the person who refuses Nicole? Kidman.
