Chapter 310: Preparations for the Youth Pie
Lin Yuan is not interested in the topic of appearance in reality.
If someone asked Lin Yuan who the most handsome man in the world was, Lin Yuan would give different answers according to different age groups.
At first, it was a dinosaur team, then it became Ultraman, and then it became Kamen Rider.
Now......
It's Transformers.
Therefore, the outside world is concerned about whether Lin Yuan Shenlong Award will show his face, but Lin Yuan is more concerned about what benefits this award has brought to him.
It's beneficial.
Because after winning the Shenlong Soundtrack Award, Lin Yuan noticed that his film and television reputation had suddenly skyrocketed a lot, reaching 280,000.
This made Lin Yuan realize that the Divine Dragon Award had a very high prestige bonus.
Then Lin Yuan thought of the script of "Life of Pi" that he had already gotten his hands on.
It's about the system tasks.
Although it is certainly impossible to shoot this film for the time being, it is time for the company to prepare.
Lin Yuan took the script and found Lao Zhou.
"New script?"
When Lao Zhou learned of Lin Yuan's intention, he immediately perked up, and said with anticipation on his face:
"I'll see!"
Lao Zhou was completely convinced of Lin Yuan's script creation ability, so when he learned that Lin Yuan had written a new script, Lao Zhou attached great importance to it.
"Hmm. ”
After Lin Yuan handed over the script to Lao Zhou, he didn't stop here and left after he finished reading it.
It's useless to say too much now, it depends on the company's evaluation of the script.
If the company doesn't pay attention to this script, Lin Yuan plans to invest more money himself.
Lao Zhou didn't watch it alone.
He came to the film department for the first time, walked into the conference room, and said to the assistant behind him in a serious tone:
"An ad hoc meeting will be held, and all the middle and senior management of the film department will be present. ”
"Understood. ”
The assistant notified the news as soon as possible.
The purpose of this kind of meeting is to get the film department to set standards for Lin Yuan's new film circle on cost and the like.
Soon.
The senior management of the Xingmang Film Department gathered in the conference room, and the success of "The Tuner" has attracted the company's attention to Xianyu, so everyone dare not delay.
"Director Zhou. ”
To Lao Zhou's surprise, the company's number one director, Du An, also came, and Du An was followed by the company's big screenwriter Zhang Yu.
"Can we read the script together?" Zhang Yu said with a smile.
"Of course, I can also ask two seniors in the industry to give advice. Lao Zhou smiled politely, and then said, "Everyone, please take a seat, and we will distribute the script." ”
The crowd took their seats.
Du An and Zhang Yu also found a place to sit down.
It stands to reason that Xianyu's new script has nothing to do with them, but when they learned that Xianyu wrote a new script, Du An and Zhang Yu were a little curious.
So I followed.
Soon, the script was distributed.
The crowd saw the information of the script.
Title: Life of Pi (aka Life of Pi)
Genre: Drama, Adventure
There was no nonsense, the conference room was quiet, and everyone silently read the script.
The reading time of the script is generally more than half an hour and less than an hour.
In this process, in the conference room, there is only the sound of paper turning.
The story isn't complicated.
At least, it's not complicated to describe.
At the beginning of the film, a family is introduced, the family runs a private zoo, and the male protagonist is the youngest son of the family, called Pie.
Let's call him Juvenile Pi.
The official plot of the script begins with the family's decision to relocate.
When Pi's father decides to sell his animals and settle elsewhere, the family gets on a ship to another place.
As a result, they were shipwrecked.
Except for Juvenile Pi, everyone else died.
Pi and a tiger drifted in a lifeboat for 227 days.
Man and tiger form a strange relationship, and eventually overcome the adversity together and be reborn.
If you take it literally, the story structure is not complicated.
But......
When everyone finished reading the script, the conference room fell into a deathly silence.
Thereinto.
When screenwriter Zhang Yu flipped through the last few pages of the script, his fingers even trembled slightly.
And director Du An, when he finished reading the script, his breathing was slightly short, and his eyes obviously flashed a trace of heat!
"Let's talk about it......"
Lao Zhou swallowed and broke the silence in the conference room.
Against all odds.
The first person to speak turned out to be director Du An, and his voice was obviously eager: "Can you shoot this script for me?"
After speaking, Du An looked at Zhang Yu with a wry smile: "I'm sorry......"
"Understood. ”
Zhang Yu didn't get angry, but took a deep breath: "This is one of the best scripts I've ever seen since I started in the industry!"
"So ......"
A high-level executive seemed incredulous: "Pi ate his own family?"
Zhang Yu sees it most thoroughly, after all, she is an experienced professional screenwriter: "According to the metaphor of the script and the dialogue between the youth school and the writer at the end, it is like this, just like the setting of "The Tuner", the protagonist told a big lie...... The script is of high quality, and the envy is even more powerful than I imagined. ”
Zhang Yu seemed a little shocked.
As a result, the conference room suddenly became noisy:
"Cannibalism?!"
"I broke out in a cold sweat!"
"When I saw the middle, I felt that something was wrong, on the surface, it was a sea drift between a boy and a tiger, but in fact, there was no tiger at all!"
"The script of Envy Fish is too heavy, and the difficulty of filming is surprisingly high!"
"No, not at all. ”
Du An suppressed the excitement in his voice: "This script can be presented in the most beautiful way, the so-called heavy taste is just a reflection left to the audience after the plot is over, which is a huge challenge for the director......!
Du An looked at Lao Zhou again, and after he saw this script, a voice echoed in his heart:
I want to shoot this script!
Lao Zhou didn't immediately agree: "It depends on the meaning of Xianyu, Director Du should know that Xianyu's crew is the core ...... screenwriter"
Du An's brows instantly furrowed, distressed and entangled.
In his heart, on the one hand, he is happy to see the hunting, and on the other hand, he is the bottom-line pursuit of the director's core system.
"Let's not talk about this first, first of all, the quality of the script, there should be no problem, right?"
"Nope!"
"This script is better than 'The Tuner'!"
"It's just that the cost estimate is not easy to control. ”
"The special effects are too demanding. ”
"It's definitely going to be an immersive shot. ”
“......”
There is no problem with the script project.
Lao Zhou nodded: "Then there is the problem of cost and preparation, and the casting is not easy, we may be busy, as for the final candidate of the director, we will consider it, anyway, it is basically impossible for this movie to start filming this year......"
As he spoke, Lao Zhou glanced at Du An.
Du An is still struggling.
He doesn't want to give up the dominance of the crew, and he really wants to shoot this script, but he is a firm screenwriter core system.
However, what is certain is that the preparation for the movie "Life of Pi" is about to begin.
