Chapter 310. Actor fixed angle [ask for subscription]
That morning, Liu Yifei was really angry, don't want it.
Sun Yi took a lot of effort to coax Xiao Nizi well.
When I returned to the house, I don't know when, Liu Yifei actually prepared breakfast.
Although it is just a simple bread and milk, this is Xiao Nizi's heart.
Sun Yi was overjoyed at the moment and sat directly at the dining table.
Liu Yifei's eyes were quick, she dragged the plate over, and said viciously:
"I won't give it to you."
"Alas, didn't they all admit their mistakes just now, why do you still hold grudges."
"Just remember, who made you go so far."
Although Liu Yifei's expression was fierce, she was not really angry, she just vented her dissatisfaction just now, and after giving Sun Yi a white look, she reprimanded again.
"Go wash your hands first."
"Okay."
After Sun Yi finished washing and came back, he found that the bread was still specially fried in butter, golden and golden, and looked very appetizing, so he picked it up and took a bite.
"Click."
It's a little brittle.
Sun Yi turned it over and took a look.
Well, the other side is clearly overfried.
looked up at Liu Yifei and found that Xiao Nizi lowered her head with embarrassment, and when she looked at it again, she found that the dishes on her plate were even more finished, not even one side was fried.
Liu Yifei was like a child who made a mistake, and explained in a low voice:
"There's just this bag of bread at home, no. Without. ”
Sun Yi understood, it turned out that she had never done it before, and now she practiced, and it took a whole bag of bread to succeed in this half of the slice and give it to herself.
"It's delicious, I don't believe you can taste it."
As he spoke, Sun Yi tore off half of the bread in his hand that had not been bitten, handed it to Liu Yifei's plate, and tore off half of the bread that had been fried on both sides from her plate, and took it back.
Then he raised it to her and said:
"It's delicious, half for one person, and no one needs to eat more."
Hearing Sun Yi's words, Liu Yifei pursed her lips, her eyes bent into a crescent moon, and she nodded happily.
After breakfast, the two cleaned up and set off to meet Matt.
I made an appointment with him last night to talk about the script today.
There are commercial streets on the USC campus, not the kind of specialized commercial streets, but some shops that serve students and meet the daily needs of students.
For example, a café.
Sun Yi and Matt made an appointment here.
The three of them have been sitting for a long time.
In addition to coffee and a few snacks, the table was full of manuscripts.
Liu Yifei was stirring coffee spoonful by spoonful beside her, while listening to her brother give Matt his revisions.
"The sci-fi background is no problem, just expand it simply, but the film won't show too much, after all, we are a small-budget movie, but it will serve as a suspense to attract the audience to keep watching."
"The reversal in the script is not enough, to add more, the story of the script is quite complete, but it is still a little thinner, only around a basement, and there are not many scenes, so it must be reversed again."
"The role is not enough, in addition to the male protagonist and the female protagonist, plus a role, his positioning is equivalent to a third-party decryptor, in the process of the female protagonist's investigation, give some suggestions and help, and then conflict with the male protagonist, increase the drama."
Matt bit the tip of his pen and thought about Sun Yi's words, he had to say.
Many of Sun Yi's suggestions were very pertinent, which made him feel like he was suddenly open.
Many questions that I didn't understand when I was creating before, so that Sun Yi suddenly became enlightened when he said this in a few words.
As soon as Sun Yi paused, Liu Yifei beside him immediately dug down a piece of cake and sent it to Sun Yi's mouth.
"Hmm, it's delicious."
At this time, Matt lowered his head tightly, not enough to peek at all, but he was still a little helpless in his heart.
I'm like this, and you're still like this.
It's really good!
"That's right, Sun. Mr. Sun, what do you have for actors in this movie? After asking, he hurriedly added an explanation, for fear that Sun Yi would misunderstand him and want to interfere in the choice of actors.
"Mr. Sun, when I adapt the script, it will be much more convenient if I can have a definite actor and follow their image."
"Man, don't be nervous, I understand what you mean, just call me director, don't be so polite anymore, persuade you to regret it first."
"No, no, no, Mr. Sun, ah no, director."
Matt waved his hand in a hurry.
"That's right."
When Sun Yi first arrived today, he had already slapped a check for $80,000 in front of Matt.
It's not that he's pretending, it's that he just understands a truth like that.
If you want a horse to run fast, you have to give it grass.
As for why $80,000, isn't it more or less?
That's because there is a screenwriters guild in the United States, that is, the WGA, and they have clear rules on the bidding of scripts, the original script must not be less than $72,600, and the adapted script must not be less than $63,500.
Matt, this is an adapted script, and he is still a pure newcomer, which should be at the level of $63,500.
Sun Yi gave him the original price, and he also made up a whole price.
As for why he didn't give more, that is a "Shengmien, fighting Mien" principle.
As a newcomer, Matt will inevitably have some other ideas in his mind if he finds that his script is worth so much money.
Wealth is moving, and many people are unworthy.
Besides, Sun Yi knows very well that human nature can never stand the test.
So, there's no need to pretend to be stupid.
Besides, the price of 80,000 yuan has already been raised for him, and if the film is successful in the later stage, he will be given an additional red envelope.
When Matt saw the check, he was so flattered that he almost cried.
Holding the check, he said a lot of words of thanks incoherently.
Sun Yi was stunned at the time, he had known Matt for nearly a week, and what the two had said before was not as much as this time.
Generally speaking, that's what it means.
"Bu Piao has been floating for half his life, he only hates that he has not met the master, if he does not give up, he is willing to worship as his father!"
Of course, Sun Yi can't recognize this son, but Matt's attitude is still very encouraging.
As for the actors, the character design of the heroine in the original book is very good.
Unlike some other suspense movies, the protagonists in them are often very stupid and forcibly reduce their intelligence, and the recommendation of the plot often relies on them doing something that people with normal IQ can't understand.
And the heroine in the original book is an independent and intelligent woman with her own goals from beginning to end. Every decision she made in her panic was the best decision in a desperate situation.
Slender in appearance, but calm and brave, very much in line with her own little girl.
At the moment, the premise is that she puts the tooth flower away.
And this film does not have too high requirements for the acting skills of the actors, especially the acting skills of the heroine, but more of a sense of suspense rendered by shooting techniques and environments. The acting role of the whole film is actually focused on the male lead.
In this way, the film is more friendly to his girlfriend, as if it was tailor-made.
"Well, heroine, what do you think of this beautiful lady in front of you?"
Sun Yi looked at Liu Yifei beside him with a playful expression.
Liu Yifei was working a piece of fruit cake, her cheeks bulging, and she still had a spoon in her mouth.
After hearing his brother's words, his eyes widened, and he looked incredulous.
Sun Yi patted his head and sighed leisurely.
In this way, the screenwriter is very kind to be able to survive for 10 minutes in the movie.
Matt also blinked at Sun Yi, as if he was saying something in his heart.
“Are you kidding me!”
Liu Yifei's face flushed, and she swallowed the cake three times and five by two, as if she was choking.
She really didn't expect her brother to ask him to act.
Yesterday at the party, although I heard Mr. Harvey propose this, she took it as a compliment.
She's not stupid, Harvey obviously doesn't know her, her "King of Kung Fu" hasn't made much waves in North America at all, even if there is, it's concentrated on Brother Cheng Long and Brother Lianjie, Harvey is a little familiar with herself at most, and it is estimated that it is now investigated.
And her brother set foot in Hollywood for the first time, as she has been in and out of the United States for many years, she knows Hollywood better, this place does not believe in failure, and there is never a second chance.
So when she learned that her brother was going to make a Hollywood movie, although she also had the expectation of wanting to appear in her heart, she didn't say it at all, she knew her level, for fear of dragging Sun Yi down, she only thought that during her brother's time in the United States, she could accompany him and take care of him, and she didn't think much about it at all.
This will Sun Yi said that she would play the heroine, but she was greatly surprised.
"Don't make a fuss, I can't do it."
"Don't move, now the director is auditioning for you."
"Huh?"
"Be serious, let's get started."
"Oh"
"You followed your mother to the United States, the language barrier, surrounded by strangers, but you still have to live, today you are at school, there are classmates who have bad intentions towards you, and neutral classmates, you can only go home to see your mother if you carry it today."
"I'm just a classmate who has bad intentions towards you, Matt is neutral, and now I need you to show your bravery and strength, as well as wisdom."
Liu Yifei didn't understand at first, but Matt understood, and began to look forward to Liu Yifei's performance intently.
Sun Yi compared seeing his mother to escaping and ascending to heaven, the ill-intentioned classmate was the male protagonist who kidnapped her, and the neutral classmate was the third person who joined temporarily as Sun Yi said just now.
Liu Yifei didn't know why, but looking at the serious expressions of the two, she finally paid attention to it.
She hadn't read the real script, and when Sun Yi talked to Matt, her focus was on the little cake.
However, the scene her boyfriend said was obviously what she had faced when she was a child, and she began to recall her experience during that time.
And then slowly substituted into it.
When facing Sun Yi, she pursed her lips, her brows were slightly locked, her eyes were very firm, and her muscles were tense, she knew that when dealing with people with bad intentions, weakness would only magnify their malice.
In the face of Matt, his eyes were obviously softer, and there was a hint of a smile on the corner of his mouth, this is the person she needs to fight for, and women are naturally weak, and for men, they will subconsciously generate a desire to protect.
Liu Yifei's body skeleton, in the East, is actually not slender, after all, the height of 170 is there, but if it is compared with some Westerners, it is very slender.
Plus she has a somewhat subtle oriental beauty.
Compare it to the huge kidnappers set in the script.
The contrast is great.
Born to let the audience substitute.
Matt was shocked.
"Miss Liu Liu, it's very good, it's very consistent."
Sun Yi shrugged his shoulders as if to say.
"Look, I'm not the only one who says you fit."
Liu Yifei pursed her lips a little excitedly, she wanted to laugh.
She was happy that she could finally help her brother.
Of course, Sun Yi's audition is very far-fetched, and he is obviously suspected of releasing water, but he doesn't believe it, he doesn't act in this film, and when the time comes, he will teach it by himself, and he won't believe that his girlfriend's elm head can't bloom.
The actress is so decided, and Matt is also ready to make some adjustments according to Liu Yifei's situation.
The heroine becomes a Chinese girl, and the setting is brave, strong and wise.
As for the actor, a veteran, a somewhat neurotic kidnapper, plus a little neuroticism, and a hypocritical sense of mission that considers himself a savior.
Sun Yi was very impressed by the male protagonist in the original work.
John. Goodman, one of Hollywood's famous old actors, is like a golden supporting actor in Hong Kong films,
As a senior green leaf actor, his acting career is very comprehensive. Whether it is a decent role, a sinister villain or a comedy, he can be familiar with it, and plays an important supporting role in many classic movies.
You can believe that he has appeared in classic films such as "The Artist", "Transformers", "The Impostor", "Monsters, Inc." and so on.
Therefore, Sun Yi is also ready to follow the original book and find him directly.
In this way, among the three people, to be exact, the fairy sister basically played soy sauce throughout the whole process, and under the discussion between Sun Yi and Matt, the whole script and the main actors were released one after another.
