Chapter 72: Forrest Gump

"I don't know much about Mr. Scott Rudding and Mr. Andrew Nichol, but that script of theirs looks good."

"What, you're interested in investing?" The time he has been with Jerry is not short, except for "Titanic", I really haven't heard of any script he is interested in.

"A little. However, this is a matter for DreamWorks management, and I'm just building a bridge. ”

"I don't think it's just matchmaking. What's so special about that script? ”

"If you're interested, come to me in two days and help me send the commercial footage and script of Mr. Andrew Nicol to DreamWorks at the time. Ms. Dorothy had already given me an ultimatum that if I disappeared from class for more than a month, she would tell all the teachers to fail me. ”

"You're starting to get scared now?"

"Hey~ Which side are you on?"

"Lady Dorothy is terrifying."

Jerry pouted.

"The itinerary for July and August has been arranged, do you need me to inform you in advance?"

"So fast?"

"If it weren't for the fact that you had to stay in school all the time in June, I could have started in June. The two most important things, one is the filming of the "Song and Dance Youth" series Zuihou, and the other is the filming of "Titanic". ”

One Jessica Alba who treats Jerry coldly, and the other James Cameron who gives Jerry a headache.

"This is an arrangement that can no longer be pushed off. Even Robert Zemeckis's premiere arrangement, I helped you push it off. ”

"Forrest Gump has been produced, when will it be released?"

"In June. If you can make it, I'll arrange it for you. ”

In June, Jerry was supposed to be in Salt Lake City filming the third part of "Youth Musical."

Speaking of "Forrest Gump", it is also a good thing, and the film adaptation rights of the novel were acquired by Jerry and included in Jerry's script system. After learning that the novel was about to be adapted into a movie, Winston Groom, as the author, joined the crew of Forrest Gump because he was worried that the core values of the novel would be changed to a mess. And his fears have come true! Because both the director Robert Zemeckis. Or the script editors at DreamWorks who were involved in the film adaptation thought that Forrest Gump's critique of politics was too sharp and the events involved were too cumbersome: space travel, cannibal tribes, dancing with orangutans, chess, wrestling stars, and even a visit to China with Nixon, which was so dazzling that it was impossible to know what the novel was trying to express.

To belittle for the sake of belittlement, to be sarcastic for the sake of sarcasm, is actually the lowest and uninteresting thing.

In the novel, Forrest Gump is always unexpectedly blessed when he can't do what he wants, and he is wise and talented, regards wealth as dung, and advocates liberalism. Such a tragic and overly dramatic treatment of the plot is not supported by a core value - that is, the spirit of the American Dream.

For Robert Zemeckis and the DreamWorks editorial department to give the adaptation advice, although Winston Glum is very angry, but he can only helplessly argue for it. After all, the film adaptation rights of the novel have been handed over, and as one of the screenwriters, he can only try to keep the plot of "Forrest Gump" as much as possible.

Oh~Shit~ They even whimsically put a brace on one of his legs and made him run all over the United States.

Groome sometimes really wants to walk away.

But "Forrest Gump" is also his hard work, and it can't be simply destroyed in the hands of a group of guys who smell of copper, not to mention that he signed an agreement with DreamWorks.

So the work of "Forrest Gump" has been delayed again and again, starting from 1994 when DreamWorks announced that it would adapt "Forrest Gump". It was not until mid-1995 that the script adaptation was officially completed, and "The Shawshank Redemption", which was filmed at the same time as "Forrest Gump", was already popular in theaters in mid-1995. At the Oscars in 1996, Darabont also won the first Ostros Award in his life for this movie.

Robert Zemeckis is in a hurry, and that can't be helped. There is no script, and a bird is filmed. He even flew to the crew of "Band of Brothers" to visit the class during this time!

"Forget it. I didn't even attend the premiere of "The Shawshank Redemption", so I can't choose one over the other, right? ”

"To be lazy is to be lazy. It's so high-sounding. Emily spat Jerry, "By the way, I got Miss Lindsay-Lohan a job." ”

"You're becoming more and more of an agent."

"There's no way, who made your announcement a little, I'm also a person who has to eat and spend money!"

"Am I paying you less?" Jerry was extremely disdainful, although Amy was only a halfway agent, but because she was well versed in legal affairs and had a background in the financial field, so after recommending her to Jerry in May, Jerry still spent an annual salary of one million yuan in pain.

"I have to stay in a five-star hotel, use a C&C bag, wear Prader's made-to-order products,......"

"Alright, alright, don't pretend. You're a mash-up nouveau riche at best! Jerry interrupted Amy mercilessly. Aren't you just trying to ask me for something? Say, I'll listen. ”

The guy who wears a professional suit all day long, and talks about fashionable luxuries.

"Don't ask for such ugly words."

"If I don't say it, I'll hang up the phone."

"Hey~ don't. I just want you to see the script! ”

"Aren't you an agent?" Jerry smiled and asked, "Besides, lawyers are also very good at reading copywriting." ”

"If it's in the field of law, hundreds or thousands of pages are fine. But the script, let me go! ”

"A favor." Jerry Hahadaxiao.

Amy said dissatisfied, "Okay, you door-slammer. ”

"Whose script?"

"Nancy Meyers."

"Haode, I see. When you come over, bring the script with you! If nothing else, I'd have to hang up, and the Bennington guys are waiting impatiently. ”

"Oh~ there's one more thing you might be interested in. Sachiko Uraike is in New York! ”

"Sachiko-sama? What is she doing in New York?" Jerry felt his anxious heart beat violently.

"I heard that it was an overseas filming of the new album." (To be continued......)
