Chapter 968: Life Besides War III

"Hey, many people have seen you and Natalie go out one after the other, and they all speculate that this high-IQ Hollywood first-line flower may be blooming tonight, since you came to me, it seems that the news media reporters are going to be disappointed." When Jessica saw Wu Chen coming, she hurriedly brought him an ashtray and made a cup of green tea.

"You said it yourself, Natalie is a high-IQ flower, how can it be so easy to lose yourself? She wanted to participate in my movie, so she took the initiative to contact me, but I like this kind of actor who is good at seizing opportunities, opportunities are fought for by themselves, and only by fighting a prepared battle can you get twice the result with half the effort. Wu Chen listened to Jessica's words with vinegar and said with a smile.

Jealousy is a woman's nature, jealousy is the prerogative of a girlfriend, and although Jessica can tolerate her own flowery behavior, it doesn't mean that she will sit idly by, and it is not surprising to say a few words about those potential threats.

"Do you think of this as a hotel? Even if you live in a hotel or a hotel, you still have to pay for the room, but what about you, when you come to the house, you even eat and drink, and ask me to give you a massage, but you are at one o'clock in the morning, and you are still busy writing! Jessica rushed to the study, dissatisfied.

At this moment, she is wearing sexy silk pajamas, with bare snow-white and delicate little feet, it can be seen that she has just finished bathing, her hair is still wet, and she is only twenty years old at the moment She has a special charming style.

"Okay baby, I know your potential lines, it's nothing more than thinking that you've been snubbed, let's go, let's go take a shower, okay, don't be a deserter for a while!" Wu Chen put down the script in his hand, stood up and stretched, with a look of ill will.

"The first to fourth parts of "Twilight", I don't seem to have heard you mention that there are movies in this series before, but the name is very beautiful, dear, is this a new script you wrote when you were on vacation?" Jessica's attention was on Wu Chen's script.

"Yes, you think I'm on the island, and I'm obsessed with that little thing between men and women every day? Underestimate me, right? If it were to be made into a movie now, it wouldn't be too high at the box office, and it would smash my brand, so I'm going to find a writer and adapt these scripts. ”

"The theme of vampires and human love hasn't caused enough buzz right now, and I'm going to use the form to attract readers first, and this process may take several years, and then the movie will be extremely scary at the box office." Wu Chen reached out to pick up Jessica.

"Don't make a fuss first, I like to watch this like this the most, let's see what story this series of movies tells first, you go take a shower, I'll go over later." Jessica sat down in her chair instead and began to read the script.

The "Twilight" series of movies is very famous in Wu Chen's memory, and the box office is also quite high, he has watched it more than once, the plot and most of the dialogues in it are familiar to him, plus his skills as a director for many years, the script is very attractive.

"I said, you just complained that I treated my home as a hotel as a hotel, but you, the hostess, are you treating guests like this, and I give a bad review for your service attitude!" It's been more than half an hour, and Wu Chen, who is idle and bored, shouted to the study from the bedroom.

The war continues, life goes on, the war can stop, but life can't stop, in the end, it is the world's largest film market, although the first part of "The Lord of the Rings" was staged in such a special environment, it still achieved good results.

The good news came that the North American box office collected more than 300 million US dollars, second only to "Spider-Man", and the production cost was only more than 100 million US dollars, and all the investment has been recovered. Note that this is only the first-week box office record in North America, and it suddenly made the envy of all major Hollywood studios red.

At this time, Wu Chen held a press conference, announcing that he was openly recruiting magical love authors in the United States to adapt his new script "Twilight" into a series, and the author would get the right to sign and share the publication.

The requirements are that the applicant can not be a famous author, can not have his own masterpiece, or has no gender and age constraints, however, the author must have a deep literary foundation, have their own understanding of the elements of magic and youth love, and the self-recommendation letter must be accompanied by a short essay on a related topic.

In other words, the author needs to have his own thinking and fantasy, to put it bluntly, it is creativity, and he will give full play to it on the basis of the script, rather than copying the storyline of the script to polish it, so that Wu Chen will write it himself, and there is no need to hire the author.

Another point is that if the applicant has a novel idea, even if he or she is not selected as the author of "Twilight", MGM Pictures will judge the film, negotiate the purchase of the rights, and even hire a full-time script writer.

"Boss, the threshold you set is too low, and the scope is too large, it's only been three days, and our review team for this project has received more than 300 self-recommendation letters from literature lovers, according to this speed, it is estimated that there should be more than 1,000 letters by the deadline of the week."

"The funniest thing is that many authors also have their own photos in the envelopes of their recommendation letters, these are beautiful girls, and you are openly recruiting authors to catch up with the Miss World beauty pageant, maybe they think that the equal emphasis on beauty and talent will increase their competitiveness." said the general manager of MGM Pictures.

Who is Wu Chen, the only super director in the world, who has won the Academy Award for Best Director five times, and has won the Academy Award for Best Original and Adapted Screenplay many times, his talent does not need to be questioned.

Therefore, according to the script he provided, this series of movies will definitely become a very best-selling series, and becoming the author of "Twilight" will mean huge honor and huge benefits, fame and money are great, just Wu Chen's fans, the purchasing power is quite amazing, and sales are not a problem.

The script is to refine and condense the content, because the movie only has two hours or less, and conversely, it can also enlarge the content of the script to a limited extent, the main structure has been completed, and what the author needs is to fill the flesh and blood, for people with literary skills and writing ability, the difficulty is really not great, at least everyone thinks so.

"Since people think so highly of me, of course I have to respect them, so that you send all the self-recommendation letters to the office, and I will read them carefully one by one, brainstorm, and maybe I can find some good themes and a few good seedlings." Wu Chen smiled and said.

Why did Wu Chen have to find the original author in this way, it's very simple, although the other party is talented, he is not a writer now! The idea of "Twilight" will not appear until two years later, if you don't do this, it is one thing to change the author to satisfy yourself, and it is also a heavy blow to the original author, and it may be possible to lose the opportunity to become a writer, and it is better to leave some room for being a person.
