109、109.
Yan Huibai was really depressed when he thought that the little heartless girl was thriving in Hollywood and was so happy that he couldn't even think of staying up late to write a script for her.
But how to say it?
They had known each other for only a year or two, and he had a very clear idea of who Xu Mi was.
Xu Mi, at first glance, she seems to be a familiar person who can chat with everyone, but in fact she is very independent. She is not very good at finding others when she can do things by herself. When she is busy, she doesn’t want to have a relationship at all.
In short, if you don't go to her, she will gradually remove you from her circle of friends.
Yan Huibai remembered that there was a time when Chi Yan was very close to her.
Maybe it was because there was a basis for cooperation at the time, but later on, she walked away as soon as the man hesitated and became reserved, so far away that you couldn't catch her no matter how hard you tried. On the other hand, Yu Yang, she didn't cooperate much with Xu Mi, but
This person is very good at making trouble. He will take the initiative to chat with her and complain to her. Even now, the relationship between the two is very good.
This woman is passive in interpersonal relationships.
Sometimes it can make people feel frustrated. Yan Huibai thinks that he has a strong ability to withstand blows. No, he is so angry that people still talk about it.
[A new movie? An action movie?]
Xu Mi was always surprised when she saw the news.
——[You actually know]
--[Shock!]
[Come on, don’t you know that domestic news is killing people?]
Xu Mi even lost a few words, but felt it was troublesome, so she directly answered the voice call and said: "I know, Yu Yang just described to me in detail what the current Weibo forum news website looks like, and he even told me that Gou
Don’t forget wealth and wealth. I didn’t expect that you would pay attention to these things when you write in seclusion!”
"Who told you that I was writing in retreat?"
"Isn't it? When we chatted last time, you said you had some ideas, didn't you mean you were busy for a while? Before I flew to country M, I originally wanted to ask if I could help you carry things, but I gave up when I thought you were in seclusion.
This idea, Mark said that you are most annoyed by being interrupted when you are writing in retreat. If your thoughts are interrupted at a key point in your writing, it will directly turn into a dark state."
Yan Hui's pale face has turned green.
"When did your relationship become so good?"
"I'm not very good. I'm just a friend on Twitter. He's from China. If I have something to ask here, he's pretty reliable. Your editor is very enthusiastic."
…
Yan Huibai wanted to fire the unlucky editor on the spot. His boss was unhappy and said: "I also grew up in country M. If you have any questions, you can ask me."
"Don't worry about such small things, write well, and think about the readers who are waiting for food."
"Why did it get involved with me? Isn't it talking about you? Are you going to make an action movie? Isn't that boring?"
Yan Huibai would go to the movies, but he mainly watched movies with complex plots that gave people space to think. He only watched movies that had no ideological connotation after just watching them. He rarely watched movies.
Even if they see little, people still know.
The plots of those popcorn movies are very simple, and the plot of one or two hours can be summarized in a few sentences.
For example, the heroes of an alien invasion gather to fight to the death, or the apocalyptic disaster comes, and the protagonist, who has finished the country, takes the opportunity to step forward to save country m... In the middle, small levels are set up, and the monsters are constantly defeated, the weapons are upgraded, and oneself is strengthened to supplement the plot line and finally understand the full picture of the war.
boss.
This kind of movie doesn't require you to use any brain. What you watch is thrilling, big scenes, handsome guys and beauties, and you're done with it after it's over.
Many viewers like to watch this.
Yan Huibai didn't like it and didn't expect Xu Mi to take the role: "Don't you think it's more fulfilling to watch a literary film take off at the box office than to become famous through a commercial film?"
Xu Mi said yes: "But I have experienced the sense of accomplishment you said. I haven't filmed a fighting scene yet. I also want to see the audience in the cinema marvel at it and say they didn't expect Xu Mi to be so handsome in fighting."
!”
This reason is very Xu Mi.
Yan Huibai shook his head helplessly: "Making an action movie is very hard, and setting up the scene is very troublesome. A scene of the same length is also slower to shoot than an ordinary movie, and it may be dangerous to jump from a car or a building."
Xu Mi thinks you are thinking too much——
Even if she hasn't seen the complete plot, she knows that the only one who needs to jump from a car or a building is the protagonist. Before the decisive battle, the villains are chasing the protagonist.
In this kind of movies, only the protagonist is beaten into a dog. How can the big boss be beaten into a dog? How can the movie be so good if the boss is so useless?
So isn't it Thomas Jones who is in danger?
Xu Mi reassured Yan Huibai that she would be fine and the filming would be completed smoothly, and asked Yan Huibai to stop worrying and go into seclusion.
It was past nine o'clock when she chatted with Yu Yang before, and she chatted with Yan Huibai again. Now it was her usual rest time, so Xu Mi said goodbye cleanly, hung up and went into the bathroom.
The big writer stared at the phone screen for a few seconds, remembered Mark's cheating thing, and sent him a message——
[Trick me?]
[Your manuscript is gone.]
Realizing that she might have to fly to Country M frequently in the future, Xu Mi made a plan to buy a house. Her agent sister was also helping her with this. She got her own script, which was a very standard popcorn movie structure. Her character
He has a relatively high identity in the villain camp, and is actually the superior of the boss in the first part.
In the original plan, the female villain would only show her face in the first film, but not her skills.
But people, when they get a treasure, they can’t wait to show it off to others. The producer has this mentality now. He wants the audience to see Xu Mi’s beautiful skills immediately, so he slightly revised the ending of the first part.
Originally, the protagonist should have met her for the first time in a Chinese restaurant in Chinatown. Through simple contact, the proprietress had a good impression of her as gentle and kind in his heart.
Then the second meeting is at the end of the first part. The male protagonist and the others successfully destroyed the villain organization's first conspiracy. After the big failure, the person in charge took the initiative to go to his boss, the female villain, to apologize.
They met in a secluded corner of Chinatown. In the original script, the female villain hated her for not being able to get things done and wanted to get rid of her useless subordinates. It happened that the male protagonist followed the trail and ran into the beautiful and kind-hearted woman.
The boss's wife was with this gangster, and he felt that he was in danger from the boss's wife, so he stepped forward and killed the gangster with a smooth move.
The "rescued" boss lady thought that it would be okay, so I wouldn't have to do anything. She looked at her subordinate's dog leash indifferently and took this opportunity to deepen her relationship with the male protagonist so that she could better fuck him later.
Of course, these inner dramas are not shown. The ending of the first part is the handsome hero saving the beauty.
This is already the past...
Ever since Jon Slattery fell in love with Xu Mi's skills at first sight, he had been thinking about adding drama to others. During those days, he was thinking about how he could add drama to others, and then he really thought of it!
Let the male protagonist stand up and be a hero to save the beauty. He just fucked the stage boss, and the boss lady thought that he would have to die in my hands. Who gave you the courage to fuck my subordinate in front of me???
The landlady just went crazy and beat the male protagonist into a dog. The first part ended with the male protagonist in a coma.
At the beginning of the second part, he woke up in the hospital. The proprietress apologized to him with a guilty look on her face, saying that he was a regular customer of the restaurant. She came forward after seeing the customer being beaten like that for no reason... It turned out to be a mistaken identity.
Anyway, I'm very sorry. The lady boss apologized very sincerely to the protagonist and expressed her willingness to compensate.
Everyone in the ward spoke for her, and the protagonist could only forgive her→_→
The protagonist asked the brothers where the bad guy was? Has he been locked up? What did he ask?
The brothers told him that after you were kicked away, you hit the person on the body. The person was seriously injured, but you hit him and died, leaving the body without any information.
Xu Mi almost died laughing when she saw this script.
As expected of a top producer, how dare you. He actually let the male protagonist complete the stage task in such a cool and handsome manner, bulldozing the mini-boss and then being rushed to the hospital by the big boss... He is really not afraid of being sent a razor blade by the audience.
Xu Mi just complained in her heart, and Thomas Jones, who was holding the male protagonist's script, was dumbfounded.
Ah this...
Am I really the fucking hero?
If the male protagonist is handsome in the end, why isn't it me?
You said that I have been handsome for more than an hour... What's the point? Audiences are all goldfish heads. After watching a movie, the most impressive thing for them is always the last part of the plot. When people come out of the cinema, they remember the boss lady's explosion.
After beating the protagonist stupidly, what else does the protagonist have?
Thomas Jones put it forward tactfully. Do you think this ending is not good?
The producer said you can understand movies better than me???
If the ending of a single film will definitely make the male protagonist look cool, I am going to make a sequel, and I have to continue several films without paving the way? I will just let the audience feel happy after finishing it. Will he be thinking about the next one? I must not give them any clues.
A hook?
"Don't worry, the audience will only mind that you were beaten by a strong man, not that you were beaten by a beautiful woman. Not only will they not care, they will also want to know why the person beat you and who she is? In this way, our second part will
Half the battle has been won before filming even starts.”
"But we can also use other methods to set the hook. For example, at the end of the first part, we can cut a scene directly to the boss lady and let her make a dangerous expression. We don't have to let the protagonist get beaten, right?"
Can the producers listen to him?
Not only do people not know how to listen, they also think that the plot you can think of is so cliche and boring? Do you want the audience to laugh at me for being so talented?
I, Jon Slattery, am a producer who makes people shine, and it is impossible for the audience to guess the entire plot.
Besides, I'm shooting an action movie, so why should I do it so implicitly when I can solve the problem directly?
In short, I have the final say on this movie, and it is impossible to change it. There are enough plots for you to be handsome and pretentious. If you need to sacrifice in the ending, just sacrifice it. Being beaten by a beautiful woman is called a blessing. What's the shame?
Thomas Jones felt that Xu Mike was dissatisfied with him early on, and he said that if he had other options, it would be better not to take the role. His agent also said that he was small-minded and superstitious.
Now it's good, it's come true...
Even if that woman only had a total of ten minutes of footage in the first film, with the highlight of the last fight scene supporting it, wouldn’t it be her who will be the most memorable to the audience???
There is no shame in being beaten by a beautiful woman, but as long as he thinks that this beautiful woman is her, Thomas doesn't feel good. What makes him feel even worse is that this is just the beginning, and he doesn't know what tricks will be done later.
It’s so irritating!
I couldn't help but hold my breath. The things decided by the producers cannot be changed by just one male protagonist.
Chapter completed!
