Chapter 306. Unexpected script [ask for subscription]
Under the spotlight is the glittering party scene, elite men in leather shoes are chatting and laughing with wine glasses, girls in various dresses, charming and moving, accompanied by flower clusters, crystal clear wine in the goblet keeps flowing, the whole scene is indescribably drunk.
However, in Sun Yi's eyes, it was the innocent young man who shrunk in a corner and the little girl who was holding the corner of his clothes with pleading eyes.
He didn't know why Liu Yifei's mood changed drastically.
It could be her kindness, or it could be compassion, or something that made her feel emotional.
He didn't have time to delve into that right now.
He had just set foot in the United States for the first time, and the first person he met was this somewhat wooden young man in front of him, Matt.
Although they have not been in contact for a long time, only a few days, although their relationship is not very deep, they are not close friends.
But in the current situation, Sun Yi also felt that he had to do something.
At the very least, honest people should not be the original sin of being bullied.
But how can he help?
This kind of thing, it is useless to rely on the mouth.
Wait a minute
Screenplay!
By the way, the script, I can start with the script, it's a big deal to help him adapt it, with the huge number of works in my head, it's completely feasible to do so.
Thinking of this, Sun Yi first patted Matt's shoulder heavily, didn't care about his reaction, stood up and held the back of his girlfriend's hand, stroked it comfortingly, and gave her a look of "rest assured, everything has me", turned to face the well-dressed crowd in front of him, and showed a confident smile on his face.
"Gentlemen, I heard that there is a good script, can you read it too?"
"Oh, of course, let's take a look at our Director Sun, and talk about his unique insights by the way."
This sentence was said by Korean director Bong Joon-ho, and the appearance of Sun Yi at this moment made him feel very happy, even a little joyful.
I especially look forward to what Sun Yi can say in a while.
Originally, he didn't have any special mentality at this international young director exchange meeting, just as an opportunity for young directors from various countries to communicate with each other, but after arriving, he realized that he actually had the treatment of being invested in making Hollywood movies and releasing them.
This news made him completely uneasy, I have to say that the conditions given by Harvey are too generous, not only investment, but also responsible for distribution and release, which is a good thing like pie in the sky.
Although the quota given by Wihenstein Pictures is one or two, even if it is one, he is confident that he can definitely succeed in winning it, and his achievement, the film "Monster of the Han River", which created Korean history, is a leading existence compared with all the directors present, no matter from which point of view.
But I never expected that Sun Yi would suddenly come out in the middle.
He didn't know this person originally, but he had only seen a brief personal introduction on the list of exchange meetings.
In addition, at the exchange meeting a few days ago, Sun Yi didn't say a word, just like a little transparent, he directly identified Sun Yi as the existence of soy sauce.
But at today's party, Mr. Harvey's attitude shocked him, in addition to those directors in the United States, Mr. Harvey's first choice of conversation partner turned out to be this Sun Yi.
Regardless of whether he recognizes it or not, Mr. Harvey's attitude says it all.
This made him feel a full sense of crisis in his heart, and he also became a loser in the opportunity to shoot a Hollywood movie, and even secretly regarded Sun Yi as a competitor.
Seeing that Sun Yi was also interested in this unpopular script, I really wanted him to quickly say a few different words, so that he could show it from a professional point of view, and maybe he could change Mr. Harvey's attitude and win that precious investment spot.
People in the entertainment industry are the ones who can best see the height of their eyebrows, so the crowd gathered on the periphery gave up their place to Sun Yi very interestingly.
Sun Yi took the script with a smile on his face and just stood in the center of the crowd and watched it.
Harvey stood aside and looked at Sun Yi, taking a leisurely sip of wine, he was also looking forward to the goal he had set, and what amazing performance he would have next.
Manuscript?
Fortunately, the handwriting is quite neat, and I can probably read it.
Science fiction?
Oh, just a futuristic world, set in the setting of an alien invasion, and the story doesn't focus on the aliens.
Doomsday shelters, underground cabins?
Male protagonist, female protagonist, only two people?
That's right.
Damn, isn't that the movie!
Tsk, these people don't act either, and you can't tell if the script is good or bad.
At this moment, looking at the script, Sun Yi's mind has flashed the movie picture of his previous life, although there are many differences from the current script, but after 8 years, when the movie is finally released, I don't know how many versions have been changed.
The current script is obviously still very rough, but the core is still there, and it does not affect Sun Yi to recognize it at a glance.
In fact, before Sun Yi came to participate in this exchange meeting, he considered whether he could take this opportunity to make a small-cost, high-income movie and make some extra money.
It's just that he has only been here for a short time, and the specific model of Hollywood has not yet been figured out.
At that time, he chose this one among the few films he chose, but he didn't expect to encounter it on this occasion.
Matt turned out to be the screenwriter of the original book.
Obviously, in the future, this honest boy will still succeed.
Since you have encountered it, it means that it is the arrangement of fate.
If God doesn't take it, he will be blamed.
I'll shoot it this time.
After making up his mind, Sun Yi put down the script and didn't say anything, but turned around and walked towards Matt in everyone's doubts.
"Man, the script is good, how about selling it to me, I want to shoot him."
Matt came back from his trance, his lips trembling in disbelief.
"Mr. Sun Sun, what you said is true?"
"Of course it's true, is there any good in me lying to you?"
At this time, the directors behind him also came back to their senses, and they all looked at Sun Yi, an excessively young Chinese director, with a look of surprise.
Korean director Bong Jun-ho chuckled, and the smile on his face unconsciously grinned.
"Director Sun, are you sure you want to shoot this script, in my opinion, this is not a good choice, first of all, although its sci-fi background is grand, but it is not perfect, the dramatic conflict of the plot is also very far-fetched, and the characters are also a little thinner, if you want to make this script into a complete movie, it takes strong directing skills and rich experience, in my opinion, making it into a movie is a thankless thing. As a director who has personally shot a sci-fi movie, I don't recommend this choice. ”
Look, look, what people say.
In the end, he is a cultural person, first pointing out the flaws of the script, then giving his own suggestions from a well-intentioned point of view, and finally emphasizing the required directing skills and experience in shooting science fiction films.
On the surface, there is nothing wrong with these words, but they are good words and persuasion.
can taste it carefully, Feng Junhao's words are equivalent to directly roasting Sun Yi on the fire.
But when Sun Yi repented at this time, he admitted in disguise that he couldn't see the flaws of the script, and the director's skills and experience were not as good as him.
Did Sun Yi see the flaws in the script, of course he saw it.
As for the science fiction theme, he really hasn't filmed it, but who hasn't had the first time, besides, he has the original film for reference, and he can still be afraid of this.
smiled at the moment and replied:
"I like this story very much, the script can be improved a little more, and as for science fiction films, I am also very interested."
Fatih. Ah Jin watched from the side for a long time, and this meeting also came up to persuade him.
"Director Sun Yi, as a director, it is indeed a very wonderful thing to be able to find a story that you like, but in my opinion, this script needs to make up for various shortcomings, and it takes a lot of energy, so you must be psychologically prepared."
This is quite human, Sun Yi nodded at him, and replied, "Thank you for the reminder, I will pay attention."
"Mr. Sun Sun, I am very grateful to you, but you don't have to be like this, I know my own script."
Matt suddenly stopped Sun Yi at this time, he felt that Sun Yi made this decision to help him save face, and he didn't want to drag Sun Yi into the water while being grateful.
Rub, this unlucky boy, why don't you believe me?
Sun Yi was a little helpless, and was just about to explain to Matt, when the big tooth brother on the side came out again.
"Brother, don't be impulsive, what a precious opportunity we can come to participate in such an exchange meeting this time, besides, this is a movie, not a joke."
Sun Yi's face was crooked, and he couldn't wait to give him two feet.
This stupid big guy hasn't seen the situation clearly.
"OK, OK, I repeat, I'm serious, I really want to make it into a movie."
As he spoke, he looked at Matt again.
"Well, man, see my sincerity, would you like it?"
Matt's eyes flickered, obviously still a little incredulous.
At this time, Liu Yifei stood up and said to Matt with a smile:
"Don't worry, my brother is a very powerful director, it must be fine."
I don't know if it was Sun Yi's sincerity that persuaded Matt, or if he was moved by Liu Yifei's healing smile, and finally bit his lip and nodded fiercely at Sun Yi.
Sun Yi smiled and pulled Matt up and patted him on the back.
"Man, wise choice."
