Chapter 236: A Movie with Only One Actor

The drawer is gently opened.

The original script of "Mine Bottom", which has been dusty for more than a year, has not been dusted with the passage of time, and there is not even any trace of being torn, but it is very well preserved, just like it was a year ago.

Zheng Jun sat obediently on the chair, his expression was slightly restrained, and his former pride had long been smoothed out by life.

Although his heart is still there, and his willpower is as tenacious as ever, the emotions of uneasiness and apprehension permeate his whole body, and his eyes are firmly fixed on "The Bottom of the Mine".

That year......

He made a movie with a lot of money, and like other directors who wanted to make a name for themselves in this world, he took the film overseas to participate in a small pheasant film festival without permission.

He was shortlisted and screened, and although the results of the screening were very average, he sold the first overseas film rights in his life.

He returned to China with great pride, ambitiously planning the next step of his life......

However, after returning to China, he was not greeted with infinite glory, nor was he recognized by the mainstream film association and received an invitation to join the club, let alone became famous all over the world in one fell swoop.

He received an official ban and was one of the "underground directors" who were dealt with seriously.

His script cannot be signed, copyrighted, and cannot be filmed in any way......

The joy of success is struck hard by reality.

Repeated complaints, active admission of mistakes, public apologies, and relationship ......

He had used all these methods, and they had no effect at all except for draining the money in his pocket.

He watched his peers endure the hopeless days and began to change careers one by one......

Some became clerks in movie theaters, some went to work in factories, and some even started their own stall vendors, and they were bent over by life.

Only he persisted......

Although he couldn't appear in any public place, he kept writing the script and conceiving the story in his heart.

To make a living, he started selling scripts.

The script of "Mine Bottom" was sold by him during that period.

He remembered that day, he was in debt, and he really had no choice but to be poor, so he finally sold his carefully prepared script "The Bottom of the Mine" to a script middleman for 20,000 yuan.

"These pictures are beautiful! But 20,000 is still a bit expensive.,After all, this kind of big-made book.,No one is destined to ...... Forget it, it's considered charity, and by the way, it's a hoard......"

He still remembered that the middleman of the script silently held the notebook, with a hint of contempt on his face.

Lost, disappointed, but he had to smile, watching his notebook being stuffed into his pocket, and humbly added that he could still write a notebook, and after he finished writing, it could be cheaper......

The dignity is crushed, like an old dog with a tongue sticking out and constantly waging its tail at people and begging for mercy.

But he had to live!

That year......

After Huaxing's "Mine Bottom" was released, he ran to the cinema and watched "Mine Bottom" with excitement and anticipation.

He thought it was his own book, thought his book was released, and even looked forward to the director presenting the underground world in his heart.

But it's a pity.

"The Bottom of the Mine" is not the "Bottom of the Mine" he wrote, but a movie of the same name, although it was shot very realistically and moved him, it was not his after all.

Later, I heard that "Mine Bottom" won the award, which caused a sensation in China......

And he is still hiding in the dark basement, writing the book over and over again, not knowing when the ban will be lifted......

Although he was strong, his mood became more and more depressed, and he wanted to commit suicide by jumping off the building several times, but in the end, looking at the books all over the ground, he still gritted his teeth and survived.

"Don't be inhibited."

"Over the years, it can be seen that you have suffered a lot......"

"Okay, you can tell me about the plot of "Mine Bottom" first."

in the office.

Zhou Yang looked at him with a gentle smile on his face, especially when he saw that Zheng Jun's ID card was only thirty-one years old, but he was already half of his white hair, and his skin was strangely white, obviously after staying in a small space for a long time, he sighed slightly in his heart.

"The film is based on the theory that the Earth is hollow, and modern physicists believe that the mass of the Earth is almost a billion times that of 6 megatons, which is already quite grandiose, but if the Earth's interior is solid, the mass should be more than that...... It follows that it is highly likely that the earth is hollow, or partially hollow......"

"Zhang Mingyang, a modern geological prospector, accidentally had a major collapse during an exploration of the bottom of the mine, and when he woke up, he found himself in a magical world, and according to his speculation, he was very likely to have reached the legendary "center of the earth" ......"

"He struggled to survive alone in that world......"

“……”

Although more than a year has passed.

The plot of the script of "Mine Bottom" is still echoing in Zheng Jun's mind over and over again.

In order to write the script "The Bottom of the Mine", he once consumed unimaginable energy from ordinary people, reading all kinds of classics and illustrations over and over again......

Every animal, every plant, and even every rock in the movie can be logically justified by the content of evolution......

This is his most completed script, and it is also his hard work!

He said it over and over again, and Zhou Yang's expression began to become more and more serious.

When he finished talking about the plot of the script of "Mine Bottom", he saw Zhou Yang silently put down the script.

"It takes a lot of investment in this movie, right?"

"Eighty million is needed, the minimum is eighty million......" After Zheng Jun looked at Zhou Yang's serious expression, he was silent for a long time before finally saying this.

The ridicule and shock that Zheng Jun imagined did not appear, and Zhou Yang did not seem to be surprised by the number of 80 million, and he did not feel that he was opening his mouth widely.

Zhou Yang's expression was very serious, and he stared at Zheng Jun seriously: "Eighty million is enough?" ”

After Zheng Jun faced the questioning, he finally continued to be silent for a long time.

The evening sun shone through the window, and the remnant sun was like snow in the distance.

Zheng Jun's lips moved, and then lowered his head: "If you really want to shoot the effect, 80 million is far from enough......"

"Oh, that's a pity, it doesn't seem to be able to shoot yet."

There used to be many old American blockbusters in the original world, all of which told stories of adventure in the center of the earth, and although the box office was uneven, the really well-made movies did not hit the streets.

The script of "Mine Bottom" is really well written, the plot is impeccable, and there is even a hand-drawn version of the special biological composition of the underground world in the script, which makes him very amazing and full of strict logic.

Zhou Yang himself was not sure that he would be able to shoot well, and it was even more impossible for Zhou Yang to let Zheng Jun get the book and shoot it......

He is not a person now, he is the head of a company, and he has to be responsible for his every action.

"I know, so I'm not here today for 'Mine Bottom,' I'm here today for another movie, 'Struggle,'......"

"Another movie?"

"Yes!" Perhaps Zhou Yang's interest in "The Bottom of the Mine" made Zheng Jun's originally nervous mood settle down a little, or he had absolute confidence in his script, Zheng Jun stood up and handed the "Struggle" he wrote to Zhou Yang: "Mr. Zhou, this is a movie that only requires five people to participate, and the amount of initial investment is very small, as long as one million, no, five hundred thousand can be done!" ”

Zhou Yang did not speak after looking at Zheng Jun's excited expression, but took over the script of "Struggle".

Zheng Jun, the screenwriter, is definitely very qualified, at least the script format and the supplement of the script during filming are more perfect than Zhou Yang, especially the script is full of various shooting skills and means, especially he also drew the storyboard clips of the characters himself, which is simply a movie shooting instruction book......

When Zhou Yang saw the content in "Struggle", Zhou Yang was slightly surprised.

He thought of a movie he had heard by chance, and the name of that movie was "Buried Alive"!

The script of "Struggle" is similar to the main line of "Buried Alive", in which the protagonist is imprisoned in a dark world, tormented by claustrophobia and fear, and tries to escape by all means.

The main line of the script is that there is no problem, and the detailed description makes Zhou Yang feel extremely amazing.

But there are some contents that make Zhou Yang a little dazed.

"Why is the hero of the movie called Jeff? Although he is in Iraq, he is a Chinese, right? ”

"Nowadays, many directors like films with foreign names...... I think it's very compelling to have a Western name, and the script is relatively easy to sell......" Zheng Jun replied honestly.

"Why is it that in the end of the movie, after the protagonist was rescued by the old American soldier, he deliberately emphasized that the old American soldier was very kind, benevolent, and kind, and there was a faint feeling of whitewashing this war?" Zhou Yang frowned deeply and stared at Zheng Jun.

"Because it is easy to write and sell like this, many directors and many producers in Huaxia like this kind of book, and it is easier to pass the ......review overseas," Zheng Jun continued to answer.

"Oh, this content makes me feel very separated...... Zhou Yang nodded, seeing the kindness of the old American soldier to the Iraqi civilians in the last scene, he felt full of disobedience.

In the 07 years of this world, Lao Mei still has that war, and the trajectory of the original world is almost exactly the same.

Even more than just the trajectory is exactly the same, many of the major events are no different from the original world.

"Mr. Zhou, you shouldn't be ...... Well, you shouldn't be a public knowledge, right? After thinking of the content of "Chainsaw" filmed by Zhou Yang, Zheng Jun seemed to realize something, and subconsciously asked tentatively.

"It's not." Zhou Yang shook his head.

"That war was not just, if I were filming, I would prefer to shoot real scenes, I would prefer "Struggle" to be an anti-war theme and a movie that exposes the truth, this is a true thing that a friend of mine told me in Iraq, and this version for you to show you is the version that many directors asked me to revise......" Zheng Jun put his mind at ease, finally sighed, and then took out another version of "Struggle" from his arms.

"Huh?" Zhou Yang took another version of "Struggle" in surprise, and when he read it again, he couldn't help but nod.

This version of the struggle focuses on describing the protagonist's escape and all aspects of psychological interpretation, and all the embarrassing and deliberate kneeling and licking content is deleted, which looks much smoother!

"Mr. Zhou, what do you think of this version?" Zheng Jun looked at Zhou Yang cautiously.

"This movie actually only needs one actor!"

"One ......"

"Yes!"
