"Where are you talking?"

"Neo, we're talking about your new script!" Fitzgerald excitedly said, "Zelda and I met Mr. Griffith on the train, and he told us about the Famine Orphan Girl you were working on. I asked him to borrow your script and read it, and it was really ......"

“AESOME！”

"yes, it's really great!" Mrs. Fitzgerald nodded in agreement with her husband.

In fact, Zelda was also an intellectual woman, and her husband "plagiarized" her work.

In the future, Fitzgerald would draw on large sections of her diaries, letters, and even her psychiatric experiences in his work. He persuaded Zelda to publish her short stories under his own name or as a co-author, as his reputation would be much higher.

So this talented woman can naturally see the extraordinaryness of "Famine Orphan Girl".

It's really not to brag about our Master Yuan, but even if he doesn't plagiarize the works of later generations word by word, he should be able to mix well in the economics and literary circles. After all, he is a future man who has a hundred years of knowledge more than modern people. And the next century will be an information age with an explosion of knowledge unprecedented in human history.

So many ideas, ideas, theories, ideas...... Yuan Yan had a few at his fingertips, and it was not difficult to become a master.

Therefore, even if "The Orphan Girl of Famine" is his original script, the entire plot structure and narrative method are quite mature, not weaker than the first-class screenwriters at the time, and even more "groundbreaking" than them.

For film scriptwriting, it was not the lack of inspiration that constrained him, but the rudimentary technology of the time.

"But with all due respect...... "I don't think there's ......enough lines in this script Well, in place. Mr. Yuan's lines are too elegant, unlike those spoken by poor women in Ireland. ”

"Huh?"

As soon as she said this, the smiles of several people around her froze. Especially her husband wanted to say something but didn't know what to say, so he had to touch his face in embarrassment.

But Yuan Yanqian himself knew that Mrs. Fitzgerald was right, and this was his weakness. After all, he was not really a writer, nor did he know much about the way the Irish of the mid-nineteenth century spoke to the American pauper of the day.

The reason is that he and his great-great-great-grandfather studied "academic English", and his life in the United States is actually very ungrounded.

For example, he has been in the United States for so long, but he rarely sees black people. (Author's note: Some patients mentioned this problem, so Murong will explain it by the way.) ）

This is because at that time, black Americans had not yet entered the city on a large scale, and even if they did, they were hidden and segregated, and Master Yuan, who was basically mixed with the upper class, naturally rarely saw them.

Yuan Yanqian smiled and nodded seriously: "What Mrs. Fitzgerald said hit the bull's eye, I think so myself!" ”

He pondered for a moment and said, "Madam, since you can see this, are you willing to become one of the screenwriters of this movie?" ”

"Me?!" Zelda was taken aback, pointing to herself and not knowing what to say.

"Yes, it's you, madame!" Master Yuan had already made up his mind at this time, and with a small flap of his butterfly's wings, maybe he could really change the tragic fate of the couple in the future.

It's entirely possible.

If Zell had become a full-time screenwriter, they might not have gone to Paris in 1924 but stayed in the United States, and she wouldn't have known any French pilots.

And a woman like her, who is not willing to be lonely, has her own career, maybe she won't complain that her husband is busy writing but doesn't care about herself, she won't run out to make so many scandals, and she won't learn any ballet at the age of 27.

It is difficult to change the general trend of history, but it is really not difficult to change a person's destiny.

And human beings are so strange, so contradictory, so "hypocritical".

Master Yuan himself knew that the "grand plan" he promoted would inevitably cause more tragedies, but he couldn't bear to watch the pair of golden boys and girls finally become tragedies.

He said solemnly: "As long as you ...... And, of course, Mr. Fitzgerald agrees, and you're the screenwriter of "Orphans of Famine." ”

"Really?!" Mrs. Fitzgerald turned her head to look at her husband, her eyes rolling and her mouth whispering, "Francis......"

"OK, of course." Mr. Fitzgerald looked back fondly at his little wife and said, "Whatever you like!" ”

"I love you!" The rich girl with an unrestrained temperament jumped up and hugged her husband's neck and kissed her fiercely.

"And ...... Thank you! Then she pounced on our Master Yuan again......

"Zelda, welcome to you!" Miss Lilian-Jixu, who had already been on guard on the side, immediately stepped forward and stopped among them with a very open face, allowing Yuan Yanqian to "escape".

Just as the two beauties were arguing, FDR walked over.

He nodded politely to everyone and said to Master Yuan, "Mr. Yuan, I'll leave first." ”

"Oh, I'll send you then." Yuan Yanqian apologized to everyone and walked out with Roosevelt.

"Mr. Roosevelt, are you going back to New York?"

"yes, this afternoon's train. When will Mr. Yuan go back? ”

"I don't know yet, maybe this week or next month. I'm sure I'm going to trouble you when I go back to New York anyway. Haha......"

"Hehe, Mr. Yuan said with a smile, what's the trouble? I'd like to see how your box office polls are doing. ”

"Rest assured, Mr. Roosevelt, the results and procedures of this poll will be delivered to you immediately."

With that, the two came to the door of the hotel and shook hands and said goodbye.

FDR took Yuan Yanqi's hand and said in an apologetic tone: "Mr. Yuan, please forgive me for not helping much this time. ”

Master Yuan naturally understood what he meant, and said with a smile: "Mr. Roosevelt, you have already helped a lot. In fact, at this time, there are actually some things...... I won't let you call the shots. ”

It doesn't matter now, when you can call the shots in the future, then you can't help it.

Roosevelt showed a relieved smile and said, "Mr. Yuan, thank you for your understanding, then goodbye." ”

Yuan Yanqian also said very sincerely: "Goodbye New York, Mr. Roosevelt." ”

He waved FDR goodbye and walked into the rosewood to continue the meal. And when he walked into the lobby, he saw the lobby manager greeting him: "Mr. Yuan, there is your phone." ”

"Thanks, Frank." Master Yuan walked over and picked up the phone and said, "Hey, I'm Neo-Yuan, may I ask where you are?" ”

"What? You're in the White House office! ”

"What? Mr. President wants to see me! ”

…………………………

Hell, I couldn't even search for the book list for a long time, so what's the problem?

Let's talk about it on the weekend.
