After returning to the United States, Fatty Wei continued to return to the "Star Wars" crew and was busy filming, while Lu Yuan called James.
The meaning on the phone is obvious, just talk about the script of "Reaper Is Coming".
James came over immediately after receiving Lu Yuan's call without even having breakfast.
"Reaper is Coming."
It was strange when James first heard the name.
He hopes to make a movie that is a little closer to reality, but no gods come out directly.
However, the title "Reaper is Coming" directly contains the word death.
This makes James very confused for the first time.
When he sat down, Lu Yuan handed him a script.
When he opened the script, he suddenly discovered that the script this time was not as detailed as the previous "Chain Saw", and even completely different from the scripts written by Lu Yuan before.
There is only an outline of less than 400 words and...
"Mr. Lu, this is..." James' eyes widened after seeing the many incredible killing methods in the script.
"This is the outline of the movie..." Lu Yuan looked at James and laughed.
"Huh?" James was taken aback.
"The setting of this movie has a beginning and an ending. As for the rest, just follow my unexpected method..."
"Let me see……"
When James slowly read the details of some killing techniques, James' expression became serious.
Although the title of "Reaper is Coming" has the word "Reaper", in fact, there is no "Reaper" in the content. Instead, it is a series of incredible accidents and some so-called psychological hints.
The first time I saw it, I didn't think there was anything, but when you really simulated the scene, even James himself felt a kind of creepy feeling.
The closer to reality, the more likely it is to happen, and the more terrifying...
"how about it?"
"Boss... If this movie is made well, it can indeed lead a new wave of horror films..." James looked up. "However, boss, the content of the script is connected... Also, this script is very good. , But a bit rough, if you shoot..."
"James..." Lu Yuan looked at James.
"Ok?"
"I think the movie is not my own movie, but everyone's movie..."
"Huh?" James looked up, a little confused about the situation.
"I hope that the screenwriters of our crew can hold a meeting together. While discussing the shooting of "Reaper Is Coming", they can instantly complete the "Reaper Is Coming" series. After all, there are many unexpected death techniques in life, and I Some unexpected plots in the script can only temporarily support a movie, not a series of movies, do you understand?"
"Boss, do you mean that every movie gives everyone a sense of participation? If the plot is negotiated, it can be integrated into the script, so that everyone can have a sense of accomplishment?" After listening to James, he suddenly remembered Fatty Wei once said to him that "remote" is everyone's "remote", and then he found that he felt very deeply in his heart.
Before, he wondered why Lu Yuan came up with a rough, seemingly incomplete script.
but now……
He suddenly understood!
"Yeah." Lu Yuan nodded.
In fact, it’s not that he didn’t want to write a mature script, but that when writing the script of "Death is Coming", he found that he could not remember many unexpected plots of "Death is Coming" and only remembered a part of it. If the other one really wants to fill in the plot, it will take a long time.
Therefore, at this moment, Lu Yuan tried another technique.
That is, he throws away the framework and concept, and then directors such as James and the following screenwriters have been perfecting this concept. Of course, he decides whether to change the final perfect script.
Of course this was an adventure. If it succeeded this time, Lu Yuan would be able to relax completely.
after all……
There are a lot of story outlines in his mind, but if you want to bring it out in detail, you have to rack your brains...
Moreover, as the number of familiar movies became less and less, Lu Yuan realized that sooner or later he would have to kill Jiang Lang.
Instead of this, it's better to try it earlier.
Of course if it fails...
Then...
Just fail.
Anyway, I can't be reduced to the point of begging no matter what?
"Boss, I see. By the way, Boss, do we have to hire several screenwriters from the crew?"
"Well, hire screenwriters?"
"Our company's screenwriter seems to..." James hesitated, then looked up at Lu Yuan.
"what?"
"The only real crew adaptation is Mr. Qian Zhong. Mr. Qian Zhong is running in four or five crews every day. He gets up early every morning and then usually does not go back until midnight... I'm afraid he will work with us to make up the "Death Coming" script, he would be...tired..."
"Huh? Our company has no other screenwriters?" Lu Yuan was stunned when he heard this.
"No more..."
"How could this be?"
"Boss, the main reason is that our company does not recruit people on weekdays, and the requirements for recruiting are very strict. The average person cannot enter at all, and Mr. Qian Zhong's ability is quite good. One person is responsible for three or four crews. It’s like a fish in water, so we don’t have any other ideas... But if we put pressure on him again, he might..."
"..." Lu Yuan was silent.
He was lost in thought.
Although "long-distance" entertainment seems to be very strong, strong in combat effectiveness, and well-known, it has grown to this day, and it seems that the total number of people is still about the same as that of second-rate entertainment companies...
and so……
Am I going to expand?
"Boss, or..." James hesitated for a while, then looked at Lu Yuan.
"Hmm..." Lu Yuan nodded, and then when he saw that James' expression was a little nervous and expectant, he was suddenly surprised: "James... do you have anyone to recommend?"
"Ah..." James was asked by Lu Yuan, and then his eyes were slightly dodged.
"James...we are friends, aren't we? I hope you can tell me something..."
"Boss, I do have one recommendation, but..."
"He may not have a high degree of education, nor is he graduated from a professional college. His previous occupation was an electrician."
"Huh? Electrician?" Lu Yuan was dumbfounded when he heard this.
Electrician and screenwriter.
The gap between these two professions...
It's really not that big.
"Yes, but I guarantee his talent is not bad. When he was in Hollywood before, he participated in the scriptwriting of several movies, although there was no signature..."
"Why is there no signature?"
"Because he has no educational background, no family background, and no money. He can only be an assistant to some screenwriters. I only discovered him a few days ago..." James silently said what was in his heart. After saying it, He looked at Lu Yuan again.
After seeing Lu Yuan not disgusted, he was relieved.
after all……
Since he joined Remote, he found that everyone in Remote is an elite among the elite, and he knows that there is a non-statutory rule in Remote, that is, only one in a million can enter.
Therefore, his little screenwriter is too small compared to Jin Guangcan's "remote" crowd.
"Let's do it, James, sign a confidential contract, and let him participate in "Death is Coming"..."
"Good!" James breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this.
Then he left Lu Yuan's office excitedly with the script of "Reaper Is Coming".
After James left, Lu Yuan looked at the sun outside the window.
Suddenly there was a feeling of hope and positive energy.
He stretched again.
Continue to deal with "remote" affairs in silence.
time flies.
In the evening, James suddenly knocked on Lu Yuan's room again.
"Huh? James, what's the matter?"
"Mr. Lu, the script of "The God of Death is Coming" is finished, can you see?"
"What? So fast? Wait, how come there are two scripts?"
"Well, one is made by Mr. Qian Zhong, and the other is made by Lilian..."
"what?"
Lu Yuan frowned.
Is it all right so soon?
Then carefully opened the two scripts.
The more I turned around, the more surprised Lu Yuan became, and the more I turned around, the more I felt that he might have found a treasure.
About half an hour later, when the sunset went down, Lu Yuan closed his eyes.
The two versions of "Reaper is Coming", both versions follow their own outline as written in their own accidents, and also add some original scenarios of their own.
and……
Compared with the original "Reaper Is Coming", the logic of some connections seems to be more detailed.
If the two scripts are to be compared, since each has its own merits, Lu Yuan himself doesn't know how to choose.
"Boss, do you think... this Lillian..."
"I want to see her."
"She and Mr. Qian Zhong are outside..."
"All come in."
"Ok."
………………………………
Under the moonlight.
Qian Zhong and Lilian left Lu Yuan's office at the same time.
The two looked at each other.
"You are very good." Qian Zhong looked at Lilian with a smile.
"Thank you." Lilian flushed slightly, then lowered her head and fiddled with the notebook in her hand.
That is the script of "Reaper Is Coming".
"Come on! Welcome to be a member of the "Remote" family. I hope you can cherish this hard-won opportunity."
"I...I will."
"Make a bet."
"what?"
"In the future, I will get the honor of best screenwriter faster than you."
"I..." Lillian lowered her head, seeming to be filled with a sense of unconfidence, but then forcibly raised her head to look at Qian Zhong, "I bet you!"
"it is good!"
Qian Zhong turned his head, his smile remained the same, but he reminded himself that he must work harder in the future.
otherwise……
It was so much fun to be thrown off by the screenwriter who just came in.
That old man...
Wouldn't it be shameless to stay in "remote"?
Two versions of "Reaper is Coming"...
Mr. Lu did not choose any version, but selected the two versions to a certain extent.
Changed to the first and second part.
Lillian’s version is considered the first, and his version is the second.
From the first to the top...
Qian Zhong lost a little bit this time.
Of course, Qian Zhong did not feel uncomfortable, but a sense of challenge.
Been in "remote" for so long.
Qian Zhong has always wanted to prove the value of his existence.
And the honor of best screenwriter is the value.
Now, he felt that it was his dormant period for the time being.
………………………………
After looking at the direction Qian Zhong left.
Lillian clenched her fists.
He looked back at Lu Yuan's office in the distance.
This is where the dream begins.
Three years!
Three years ago, since she watched the "Buried Alive", she suddenly had a mark in her heart.
Unexpectedly, the script could be edited like this...
then……
She made a decision.
She wants to be a screenwriter, a very good screenwriter.
It's a pity that everyone is laughing at her self-defense.
In the past three years, she has indeed experienced a lot of ridicule and a lot of contempt and unfair treatment.
She even tried to write a lot of original scripts, but these scripts fell to nothing.
After all, Hollywood is a place where there is no shortage of screenwriters, and they all talk about qualifications.
Maxima, Bole?
How could it be possible.
When she felt that she would go on like this for the rest of her life, without any hope, she met James.
When James told her that Mr. Lu planned to give her a chance.
Let her take this opportunity!
then……
Everything that follows is like a dream.
Mr. Lu met her and talked to her about the script.
After asking...
Mr. Lu stood up and officially invited her to join the company.
then……
She almost cried.
………………………………
Lu Yuan silently read the two scripts of "Death Is Coming" again.
Until now, he still had some surprises in his heart.
"Boss, thank you."
"no need thank me?"
"Thank you for opening a back door!" James was inexplicably grateful.
"James..."
"Ok."
"We are friends...Don't talk about it, just say it."
In fact...
The appearance of Lilian seemed to Lu Yuan as if he had fallen asleep and gave a pillow.
Thinking of the details of some other scripts that I asked before, and after Lilian could make up very smoothly, Lu Yuan was extremely satisfied!
He is sure!
Indeed, I found the treasure!
………………………………
When James and Lu Yuan decided to invest about 15 million dollars in "Reaper Is Coming" and confirmed the approximate shooting date, James finally left the office contentedly.
Andorra’s superhero universe is being laid.
And the same horror universe is also being laid...
James feels that in the near future, coming from the family boss will create an era of horror movies.
And he...
He will become the leader of this era of horror movies!
In his hands, various types of horror films will be born.
Going out of the house, looking at the sky full of stars.
James is full of accomplishment.
After finishing "Reaper Is Coming", Lu Yuan rubbed his head and was about to take a good rest, but the knock on the door rang again.
"Come in."
Lu Yuan looked up.
Saw a girl pushing the door in.
"Mr. Lu Yuan, good evening."
"Ah? It's Miss Vivienne, Miss Vivienne, you are..."
"Looking for you are three things. One thing is that I resigned. The other thing is that I hope to join your company. The third thing is that the Grammy will be arranged for your female companion in two days. Already? If it is not arranged, I want to be your female companion..."
"what?"
……………………………………
"Mr. Forster, congratulations, your forty Guinness Records certification has already begun... You are sure to apply for these, such as the person who hangs the most spoons in his mouth in the world, and the person who carries the most dishes at once in the world , And the certification record of the person who blinked the most in a second in the world?"
"Yes!"
"Are you sure, you want to hit the person with the most Guinness record in the world?"
"Yes!"
"Well, in the next year, we will start tracking your forty applications...Here, we sincerely wish you can break the record!"
"Thank you!"
morning.
A young man with a baseball cap walked in from the Guinness World Records Certification Office.
The youth submitted their identity information and some certification information.
After the submission, he breathed a sigh of relief.
but……
Not long after he walked out of the certification center, he received a call again.
"Sorry... Mr. Forster, if you want to hit the Guinness record with the most Guinness record, then you need to do ten more applications!"
"Why? The previous thirty items are not..."
"Oh, we have added some information about the Guinness World Records. The original 30 records have now become 40. If it is confirmed that he will attend this year's Grammys and win the annual song award, Then I’m afraid the Guinness Book of Records will increase to forty-five items...so..."
"what!"
After answering the call, the young man named Foster's eyes widened.
This……
What does it mean?
