Chapter 278: Tuner
"Norma, what's the name of that girl you were with just now?" On this day, Monet casually asked Monroe when he came to pick her up.
"You mean Betty? Betty - Grabul! Monroe asked rhetorically.
Hearing the name "Betty Grabul", Monet suddenly realized, no wonder I see her so familiar, it turns out to be Betty, the owner of millions of beautiful legs.
Because he was not interested in musicals, Monet had not seen much of Betty's works, and the reason why he knew her was because Fox had bought a million-dollar insurance for her leg, which was almost the earliest example of a star buying insurance for her body. Now this situation is naturally more common, such as Karen Mok who buys insurance for beautiful legs, Lang Lang who buys insurance for both hands, and so on. (Note that the sum insured is not equal to the premium.) )
Seeing Monet like this, Monroe quipped, "What? Got a crush on Betty? Can I introduce it to you? ”
"Can you introduce me to me? I thought you'd be jealous! Monet asked with some surprise.
And Monroe replied disapprerovingly: "What kind of jealousy am I, I didn't marry you!" ”
Then he leaned over and asked, "By the way, dear, I heard that you plan to make a new film?" ”
Monet nodded and replied, "That's right, that's why I came back from Tokyo on purpose!" ”
"Can that make me the heroine?" Monroe asked.
Monet refused without hesitation: "This is definitely not possible!" ”
"Why?!" Monroe asked displeasedly.
Monet explained: "Because there are no female characters in this film, how do you say I can make you the heroine? ”
"Huh?! No female characters? How is this possible? Monroe couldn't help but exclaim.
"Actually, no, because the name of this movie is "Twelve Angry Men"!"
In fact, after "The Dark Side" made a profit, Monet wanted to make two more films, but the "low-budget" films that met his requirements were really limited.
At first, he thought of "Buried Alive", because in terms of cost saving, there should be no movie that can surpass him, the whole movie is an actor, and in a coffin, it can be said that it saves money to the extreme, but the problem is that there are no mobile phones in this era, so it is destined to be impossible to shoot.
So he set his sights on the classic "Twelve Angry Men", which will appear in about ten years, because this movie is also enough to save money, just twelve old men quarreling in one room, there are no special effects and big scenes, and the test is the acting skills and scripts of the twelve actors.
Although Monet was telling the truth, Monroe didn't believe it very much, frowned and asked, "Can anyone like to watch this kind of movie?" ”
Because there is no way to explain too much now, Monet had to say perfunctorily: "Try it, the cost is not high anyway!" ”
"Yes, that's right!" Monroe chimed in, but then asked, "Honey, why don't you write a script like 'The Dark Side'?" ”
Monet spread his hands and said: "I want to write too, but I also have to write it, this kind of good idea is not available at any time!" ”
While talking, the two had already arrived at the place, and after walking out of the parking lot, Monroe said to Monet: "My dear, you see how powerful that person is, his eyes are no longer visible, and he can still talk about the piano so beautifully!" ”
Monet replied with a dark belly: "Do you know if he is really blind or pretending to be blind?" ”
But as soon as this sentence came out, Monet's mind suddenly flashed, and he thought of a classic movie, and immediately felt that he could actually shoot this first, because the script of "Twelve Angry Men" was never sorted out by himself, after all, the requirements for the script of this movie are too high, and these twelve actors are not easy to find.
Seeing Monet's stunned look, Monroe asked, "Honey, what's wrong with you?" ”
"I'm going to make a movie about pretending to be blind!" Monet replied casually.
And Monroe was a little displeased: "Tony, you're a little too much, how do you know that people are pretending to be blind?" And even if you pretend to be blind, there's no need to make a movie to satirize him? ”
"I'm not here to satirize him, you can understand the plot just by listening to me. The protagonist of this movie is a pianist, because of his average skills, so there are not many restaurants to find him to play, so he planned to come to New York to try his luck, but as soon as he arrived in New York, he had a little problem with his eyes, and he had to wear sunglasses according to the doctor's instructions, but he was mistaken for a blind man, because of the gimmick of a blind pianist, so several restaurants were willing to hire him, and even won the love of a girl because of this, which made him dare not expose the fact that he was pretending to be blind.
On this day, a rich man invited him to his home to play for his wife's birthday, when he came on time, he unexpectedly found that this was a murder scene, his wife and lover killed the rich man, and before he could dispose of the body, although his wife did not want him to come in, but because the old lady of the neighbor saw this scene at this time, he had no choice but to let him in.
Although the pianist was scared half to death by the scene in front of him, he knew that if he showed a little flaw at this time, he would definitely be dead, so he could only pretend that he didn't know anything and sat down to play the piano, and he didn't know if his wife and lover were testing him, in short, cleaning the room and wiping the blood in front of him. ”
Hearing this, Monroe couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "This pianist's psychological quality is really good, if it were me, he would definitely not be able to play anything!" ”
"This plot is needed, if his psychological quality is not good, then the story will not be able to continue." Monet shrugged.
"That's right, but what's next?" Monroe asked curiously.
Monet continued: "Next, the pianist finally survived until the end of the performance, and immediately rushed to the police station to report the case after coming out of the rich man's house, but just as he was halfway through the matter with the police officer who received him, he was suddenly horrified to see that the mistress just now actually walked in in the uniform of a sheriff, and it turned out that this guy was a policeman!" ”
"Well, that's too much of a coincidence, isn't it?" Monroe couldn't help but exclaim.
"What kind of movie is I going to make!" Monet said angrily, and then continued: "Then the pianist hurriedly ran out of the police station, but although he didn't finish the matter, his appearance at the police station has already attracted the attention of the mistress, after learning about it from the police officer who recorded it before, the lover is sure that the pianist already knows about it, if it wasn't for the fact that he happened to appear just now, maybe now the case has been filed!" ”
