Chapter 74: The Shawshank Redemption!
Prison escape is a thing that exists in all eras, and it is fashionable in all eras.
Engaging in movies, Leo doesn't understand, he is a third-rate actor, but his ability to gossip and pick up girls is estimated to be comparable in Hollywood.
As soon as he heard that Victor was interested in the matter, Leo dragged it away.
"Victor, you can't do this, to be a director, you have to see and listen to all directions, and go deeper into life...... "Leo rarely taught Victor a lesson.
", hurry up." Victor slapped him.
Leo immediately became honest: "That's the case, Los Angeles No. 1 Prison you know, the most tightly guarded prison in the whole United States, there is a criminal in it, who is engaged in serial killing, and I don't know what the reason is, it seems to be revenge, and he was sentenced to life imprisonment." This guy has been locked up for twenty years, and he has been honest, just some time ago, he suddenly ran away. ”
"Doesn't that mean it's the most heavily guarded prison?" Victor Road.
"Yes. That guy not only ran away, but also ran away with all the money and property of the prison warden, and went out with a dozen brothers, and now the prison covers this matter very tightly, and no one knows how this guy escaped, so now the streets and alleys are talking about it, this is simply a rare thing in his mother's century. ”
"The result?" Victor rubbed his temples.
Leo spread his hands: "It turned out to be more fun, until now, the police don't know the whereabouts of that guy." The whole of California has completely quit smoking, and all the traffic arteries, stations, and docks have been searched, and they have dug three feet into the ground, and that guy hasn't caught a single hair, just like people evaporating, do you say this person is amazing? Fuck, it's just an idol, if I meet him, hehe, like he begged how to do it. This incident was so hilarious that even the New York Times reported it, and the whole country was shaken. ”
Victor listened, but remained silent.
"What's wrong? What do you think? Leo touched Victor.
Victor raised his head and looked at Leo: "Leo, you say, if I make a movie about prison breaks, will anyone like it?" ”
"What? Movies of jailbreak? Leo has been with Victor for so long, and he already knows Victor's temper: "You mean, put this on the screen?!" ”
"Build on the story and add creative elements." Victor Road.
"It must be fun! However, you have to explain how this guy could have escaped from such a tight prison, that place, bare-ass in and bare-ass out, you can find out a chopstick hidden on your body, how can you do it? Moreover, when it comes out, it will evaporate from the world......" Leo chattered.
Victor smiled slightly: "This story, I have thought about it, and I will talk about it when I write it, it is definitely a perfect reason." ”
Chirping! Leo stopped the car and turned around.
"What are you doing?" Victor wondered.
"Go back! Hurry up and write! Leo shouted.
"You're not going to drink and pick up girls?" Victor Road.
"Fuck it! Lao Tzu wants to know how you make up this story now! By the way, what's the name of this story? Leo said.
Victor smiled slightly: "Name, "The Shawshank Redemption", what do you think?" ”
"The name? It's not good, it's not exciting, I said, it's called "Old and Young Masters Break from Prison"! Leo Bullfork roared.
"Drive your car!" Victor was another slap in the face.
……
For the next period of time, Victor didn't go out of the door and locked himself in his office to grind the script.
"The Shawshank Redemption" is a classic in later generations. This movie, Victor doesn't know how many times I watched it.
But at the end of the day, it's impossible to write down everything, and besides, there are some things in this story that still need to be changed, and it's hard work to write it.
Fortunately, there is time, and you can take your time.
After more than two weeks of writing, this matter became known to everyone in the legendary film company.
Leo was a big mouth, and when he saw people, he said that it was a thing, and later, John Ford and others were also found.
"I heard, you've been writing a prison break novel lately?" On this day, John Ford and Nicholas Zink and others ran in.
Looking at the room of people, Victor, whose eyes were red, was stunned for a moment: "What's wrong?" ”
John Ford and Nicholas Zink look at each other, and John Ford gives Nicholas Zink a look.
Nicholas said: "Victor, I know that you have worked hard for this story during this time, but I have to say, you can't write it. ”
"Why?" Victor was taken aback.
Nicholas said: "We discussed this matter collectively and felt that it was inappropriate. First, in our experience, the theme of prison escape has not been made before, and in Hollywood, there have been not twenty or thirty such movies before, and all of them have been dismal at the box office without exception......"
"If others can't do it, it doesn't mean that we can't do it, according to what you say, this theme will not be filmed in the future. Nicholas, be a little confident. Victor laughed.
Nicholas glanced at John Ford and said, "And, second, now...... Now there is a company that is also working on this, and it is completely based on the background of the prison escape case, organizing more than a dozen powerful screenwriters to hear that the script has come out and registered the copyright. ”
"What!?" Victor has one head and two big: "How is it possible?!" Which company!? "Twentieth Century Fox." Nicholas Road.
"Twentieth Century Fox!? Fuck it! Victor had a headache when he mentioned this, Fox obviously couldn't get along with himself, but thinking about it, he didn't think it was right: "How could they suddenly focus on this subject matter when they are such a big company?" ”
All eyes in the room were on John Ford.
"What's going on?" Victor looked at John Ford and immediately understood, "Uncle John, you fucking ......"
John Ford blushed like a monkey's ass: "Blame me, blame me for this, I drank too much one day, and casually mentioned it, and it turned out that Fox's son of a bitch ......"
"I'll strangle you!" Victor flew and grabbed John Ford by the neck.
A bunch of people pull the rack.
"Nothing is enough, there is more than failure!" Victor was speechless.
"Victor, forget it, the market is not good, there is a crash, we can't get Fox ......" Nicholas said.
Victor shook his head: "!" Must do! I just do my own thing, no one else's business, isn't Fox going to make the same movie? Okay, let them do it, and then it's time to compete on the spot! ”
"No, you're an egg on a rock." Nicholas Road.
"It's not necessarily who is the egg and who is the stone." Victor sat down and waved his hand: "You guys get out of here, when my script is ready, it's not too late for you to say more." ”
A bunch of people went out in disgrace.
"Damn, it's really a house leak that happens to be rainy, and you meet enemies thousands of miles away. It's too much of a back. "Victor looked at the half-written script, which was called a depression.
