Of course.

Duck Duck is now video chatting not for books, but for movies.

After they got off the plane, they couldn't wait to go to work. Then, near noon, the assistant suddenly said that two people who claimed to be script agents and directors were looking for her.

Duck Duck knew it was Trevor and Mike as soon as he heard it.

When she was in England, the two men took the trouble to call her. Yaya was very busy during that time, and in the end he was annoyed and had no choice, so he could only give them the time and the address of the company after he was busy, and agreed to talk when he was busy.

Duck Duck remembers this.

She just didn't expect these two to be in such a hurry, and as soon as she came back from here, they came.

Duck Duck went out to meet them.

And then—

Neither side is good.

Duck Duck listened to them on the phone and knew that they were a little old, but he didn't expect to be so old.

I'm afraid of crawling all over my face with age spots, and I guess I can't breathe when I climb the stairs, and the most important thing to do now is to find a place to bask in the sun and spend my old age in peace, instead of talking about the script.

Old Cui and Mike's surprise was no weaker than that of Duck Duck.

After the script was unpopular, Duck Duck listened to the news found on the Internet and threw the script to the blacklist website.

This website is a website with a relatively standardized drama screening mechanism.

Lao Cui: They used keywords when screening scripts on this website.

As an agent, Mike is sure that when they chose the script, the key word they used was "Yiduli".

Trevor can also be sure that the script he picked is a story about a little boy who grows up with the movie, and the screenwriter has to be at least a Westerner, even if he is not a fool, why is this girl an Oriental?

Got in touch with the wrong person?

After the two sides sat there and looked at each other for about half a minute, Duck Duck asked, "You guys, do you want a script?" ”

Lao Cui spoke almost at the same time, "The script of "Paradise Cinema" is yours? ”

Duck Duck shook his head, "No, a friend of mine." ”

Trevor and Mike weren't surprised.

They picked the scripts on a professional script screening website. At that time, the key word was "Yi Duli", and they selected many scripts, many of which were written by Yi Duli, but none of them impressed them.

It wasn't until they saw the script of "Cinema Paradiso" that the two of them were immediately attracted by the original flavor of their childhood film life in this script. If this wasn't written by a foolish person, it would be too.

Lao Cui and Lao Mai came with great sincerity this time.

The price they gave, in Mike's words, is very high among the new screenwriters on the site, and they can all talk about other conditions, but Yaya never nodded.

Lao Cui was anxious: "Is it because there is something dissatisfied with the price?" ”

They can add more!

Duck Duck shook his head, "Both, to be honest, my friend doesn't care too much about money, whether it's box office share or anything else." My friend is more interested in whether it can be filmed as soon as possible and whether it can present the bridges in it well. ”

But the two in front of her are so old, she really doesn't think they have the energy.

Lao Cui felt that if this was the case, he should hand over the script to them.

They have been friends since childhood, and when they first entered the cinema at the age of eight or nine, they fell in love with movies and never thought about doing anything else. For them, their lives have always been through the film, so they can empathize more with the romance that the script expresses for the filmmaker.

Duck Duck really touched them a little.

Lao Mai took the opportunity to say: "Or, you can let us talk to the screenwriter." If he can write such a script, he must have feelings for the movie, and we believe that we can win his trust. ”

Duck Duck thought about it too.

She didn't understand any of this, so let's let Li Qingning talk to them, so she had this video call.

Li Qingning glanced at the eel that had already been grilled, "Let's talk to you when I go back?" ”

When Duck Duck saw them eating, he also knew that it was inconvenient.

Just as he was about to convey this, he saw Jiang Yang clipping a piece of grilled eel and feeding it to Li Qingning, "Be careful of scalding." ”

He also poked his head in front of the camera, "Hello Sister Duck." ”

"Childish."

Yaya rolled his eyes and relayed Li Qingning's words to them.

Lao Mai and Lao Cui agreed, but their return tickets for the afternoon had already been booked, and they hoped to negotiate as soon as possible.

Li Qingning thought about it, so he asked Yaya to trouble them and collect the information first.

Since they're going to make this script, they have to at least know what they've been through.

Ya Ya agreed, hung up the video, asked the two of them to leave some past information, and then went to the company's lounge to rest for a while, and then talked about it when the time was right.

Lao Mai and Lao Cui agreed, and they muttered in their hearts, is the screenwriter really a foreigner.

After they went to the break room, Duck Duck looked at their information.

As a director, Lao Mai has made a lot of movies, but Ya Ya has never seen any of them, and I don't know if it's because of the movie of the same name, anyway, this resume looks like -

In the Far East there are no plus points, and even minus points.

Yaya invited the company's employees to come over and consult, this director belongs to the director who is not outstanding in China, and now that he is older, he is even less well-known. The employee looked it up on the Internet and found out about the director

is more famous on the lace news than his films, and his last film was more than ten years ago.

"It's-"

Yaya shook his head and told Li Qingning the news by voice.

Just when she was doing everything in the office, someone knocked on the door, and Yaya looked up and saw Lao Cui standing at the door of the office. Duckduck told him that it was still early and that he could wait.

Trevor shook his head, "I want to have a few words with you." ”

Hearing this, Yaya put down the pen in his hand and invited him to sit.

"Thank you."

After Trevort sat down, he said that the information just now was actually not very outstanding.

Duck nodded and asked his assistant to pour him a glass of water.

After Trevor thanked him, he pondered for a moment before saying, "It's just like I said just like in the script, when we first entered the movie theater when we were eight or nine years old, we liked the things on the screen. ”

They talk about movies, they talk about stars, they talk about shooting techniques, and so on. At that time, Lao Mai also had a multi-purpose camera in the script at home, and they filmed a lot of things, and then Lao Mai decided to become a director.

Lao Mai did become a director.

"But sometimes—"

Lao Cui looked at the office with a very artistic decoration, "You should understand that most of the people who have lofty ideals and succeed in the end are the protagonists of the movie." More people are supporting roles, and even passers-by. These people also have dreams and ideals, but they don't have the ability to realize them. Some people really eat because of God, and some people are just ordinary people, even if they work hard, the results they get are just ordinary results. What's more, no matter how much many people love, they are far from reaching the point of working hard. So ordinary is the norm, fate is so unfair, but we can only accept it. ”

Duck Duck looked at him.

It's a bit like the plot of a movie, using long lines to influence people, and then people are really influenced.

But—

If you think that this set can move Li Qingning, you will be a little underestimated.

Many people think that the Great Demon King has written many touching songs, and they think that she is very emotional, but in fact, she is very wrong.

Duck Duck knows her sister, she is a very planned and rational person.

Her life is always full of planning, then setting goals and working them one by one. For example, in life, she wants a living environment where she can make music with peace of mind, so her man will never make any trouble for her.

Li Qingning once told her that if you want to live a life, you have to plan and work hard; If you want to be innocent, don't choose the one you know in a bar; If you want to be content, don't look for someone who has a desire to compare......

So if Lao Cui wants to rely on these words to persuade Li Qingning, it is almost impossible.

"But—"

Lao Cui continued: "Life shouldn't be like this. ”

The saddest thing for a person is that a lifetime has passed, and in old age, there is not even a thing worth remembering. "There is no family, money is not earned, career is not successful, love and love are not chased, dreams and dreams are not realized. Even when we watch other people's movies, good movies can only be watched once, because the better they are, the more envy, jealousy and hatred. ”

I don't have the life to be the protagonist, but I have the heart to be the protagonist.

That's who they are.

They now take pleasure in complaining about bad movies.

Now the movie, they really can't understand it.

When Trevor was a kid, movies were sacred to them.

Because there were no televisions, no mobile phones, and no computers at that time, the theater was the only place for people to escape from reality, and everyone's soul seemed to be separated from the body, gathered together in a confined space, traveled to another world, and felt different joys, sorrows, and sorrows. And now, the movie is a special effect, a scene, and even the picture is full of points, and there are many people who watch it.

Both Android and Apple are available. 】

Duck Duck felt that this was inevitably biased.

Movies are the art of making dreams, and realistic dreams are also a kind of film art, aren't they?

Trevor isn't here to fight for this.

He and Mike also complained about the movie one day, saying that the movie was dead or something like that, and was reproached by young people, asking them to have the ability to make their own film, and then he and Mike had the idea of making a movie.

That's when Trevor started picking scripts on blacklist sites.

Trevor said that their idea of making a movie was just a moment of frustration, so they looked through the script and enjoyed it, and it is estimated that after a few days, the enthusiasm subsided, and they continued to bask in the sun and complain about the movie.

Then, they saw Cinema Paradiso.

They accept the ordinary, but never accept to be ordinary.

In other words, some people are ordinary, but they just haven't found that extraordinary opportunity.

This script gave them an opportunity.

Duck Duck called good guy in his heart.

dared to make such a big turn, just to praise the script for being powerful.

If she were Jiang Yang, she would definitely die as a confidant, and this script would be you.
