After returning to the room, Li Qing began to check the synopsis of the story "Three Hours of Despair" word for word. In his previous life, the reason why "Titanic" became a classic and led the global box office was not just because of its sinking.
What's more, the details before and after the disaster, the ugliness and beauty between people, and all kinds of human nature are vividly displayed in just a few hours.
"Three Hours of Despair" in the hands of Li Qing is just the skeleton of this magnificent masterpiece.
How to plump the skeleton and fill in the flesh requires Li Qing to write it down bit by bit through memory and thinking.
Taking advantage of the flash of inspiration in his mind, after Li Qing returned to the room, he did not start washing immediately, but quickly started his second creation.
He is not a god, and his memory cannot reach the level of a god. Whether it is "Soldiers", "Westward Journey", or "The Truman Show", compared with the original version, many details have actually changed.
The movie script also overturns Li Qing's personal thinking. While ensuring that the plot goes in the right direction, it also fills in some plots that he thinks are appropriate and reasonable.
Li Qing was worried at first, but fortunately, both the box office results and audience feedback were comparable to the original version, or even better. This further strengthened Li Qing's confidence in his second creation. Of course, of course, this
There is also the reason why Li Qing's own writing skills are extremely strong. Without the accumulation of two generations of writing creation, Li Qing would not be able to perfectly reproduce the pictures in his mind through the words of his pen.
For many novelists, writing down the various images that come to mind on paper is the most basic creative skill.
When many new writers are writing, they often feel that the characters and scenes they write are slightly different from the storyline they originally set, or even completely deviate from the outline setting, precisely because of a lack of training.
The stimulation of lightning and thunder outside the window had completely brought out the images buried deep in Li Qing's memory.
The pictures intertwined with each other in his mind, appearing in front of Li Qing's eyes in just a few breaths like a real movie. Li Qing could not help but tremble all over and make his hair stand on end, as if he had witnessed this disaster.
Of course he must seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and write down the clear pictures in his mind...
At the same time, in the Fuhai Cruise Restaurant, the bearded old white man looked at the roster in his hand and fell into deep thought.
The middle-aged man next to him said excitedly: "I am very familiar with the chief mate of this shipping company, and I got the roster from him. You see, these two Chinese characters are Leesin's Chinese name. He is in
Boarding the cruise ship at Nansha Port in Guangdong Province, the final destination is Seattle, he is really Leesin, you read that right!"
The old white man said strangely: "I heard that he is filming a movie now, but I didn't expect to see him here. The fate in the world is so strange."
"Maybe his movie is finished!"
The middle-aged man said excitedly: "Hey, Scott, do you feel your blood is boiling? The author of "Harry Potter" is right in front of us. If we can get the copy of "Harry Potter"
Filming copyright, my God, just thinking about it makes me feel so happy..."
"No, Tony."
The old white man put the roster on the table, shook his head and said: "You are too happy too early, haven't you read the news? The film rights of the first "Harry Potter" have been acquired by Warner Bros., they are not fools,
The copyrights for subsequent works in the "Harry Potter" series must have been bought by them in advance. Moreover, even if we discuss this matter directly with Leesin now, I don't think there is much hope. Oh, I know your
Don’t worry, even if I can’t make Harry Potter, I will definitely come up with a qualified film next year.”
Hearing this, Tony looked frustrated, "Scott, you are the greatest director, but you are too unproductive! Although every movie you made was a box office hit, the time between them was really too long.
!Do you remember when your last movie was shot?”
"It's just been two years, hasn't it?" the old white man said with a smile.
Tony smiled bitterly and said: "Which world-class director with such influence as you doesn't make one movie a year?"
"But I haven't encountered a good script." Scott chuckled: "I am very interested in "Harry Potter", but Leesin doesn't seem to have considered me..."
"Well, Scott, even if we can't make "Harry Potter", Leesin's other works are definitely not bad."
Tony looked at the time and said: "It's already very late today. I'll ask my friends to recommend it to us tomorrow. Leesin is the most popular fantasy novel writer in Europe and the United States. He must have more weird stories in his mind.
Let us look forward to meeting you tomorrow."
When Tony said this, his eyes were filled with light.
He is of Italian and Chinese descent, but his overall genes are more Italian. Although he is only in his forties this year, when it comes to Luca Toni, he is definitely a figure who can be treated with courtesy in Hollywood.
He was originally an actor and was not very popular, but he also starred in several popular movies. Later, he saved up funds and founded Max Films in the mid-1980s.
The company is one of the most famous independent film companies besides the six major American film companies.
The reason why Max is where he is today is entirely due to the director named Ryan Scott in front of him.
When Scott was young, although he often shot short films, he never thought about becoming a director. It was just out of interest.
After dropping out of college, Scott had been doing odd jobs to make ends meet. Later, in order to make a living, he became a professional truck driver. His life was not rich, but it was definitely decent.
By chance, Scott saw the science fiction film "Star Wars" by the world-class director Lucas. It was the first time for him to see such an amazing movie. It was not so much about the story, but the magic in the film.
The dazzling special effects refreshed his understanding of movies and completely activated his love for movies in his blood.
So the idea of making a movie came up.
He created a horror film script in the shortest time, and learned how to shoot and edit movies. Then, he used the 70,000 US dollars of savings he could use to rent shooting equipment, recruit actors, and then in just a short time
In one month, I worked hard to complete a 90-minute horror film "Peeping".
Although the duration of the movie was much shorter than that of a normal movie, and he was rejected many times, Scott was not discouraged. Finally, a month later, through the introduction of the movie star Sapir, he met Luca Toni, who had just failed to start a business.
The two hit it off and founded Max Films.
After more than ten years of hard work, Max Films has now become a well-known independent film company in Hollywood. Although it is not as famous as the six major film companies, it can definitely make all film actors lower their worth.
The reason why I came to cooperate with the company is because of Scott's directorial talent.
In just over ten years, Scott made eight movies. Although the output was low, each of his movies ranked among the top ten box office movies in the United States that year.
Even with an investment of less than 100,000 US dollars, the box office return rate of "Peeping" reached an astonishing 150:1 that year.
Three years ago, Scott won the 25th Saturn Award for Best Director and Best Screenplay for his self-written and directed movie "Infinity", completely reaching the pinnacle of his life.
The Saturn Award is a special award given to European and American science fiction and horror films. It is the highest award in this genre. Although it is not as valuable as the Oscars, it is also an absolute recognition of the presenter both inside and outside the industry.
Many Oscars for Best Director and Best Actor have more or less won the Saturn Award.
Of course, Scott is also very eager for Oscar awards, but unfortunately, except for his debut film "Peeping" which won the best picture, Scott received nothing at the Oscar ceremony.
Although he was nominated for Best Director once, he still became a running guest in the end.
This is the regret in Scott's heart and the regret in the hearts of many Scott fans.
After filming "Infinite Killings", Scott became even more unproductive and did not prepare a new film for nearly three years. From the outside, it seemed that Scott wanted to quit the film industry.
Of course Tony didn't want to see this scene, but the script "Harry Potter" that Scott was most interested in had already been pre-empted by Warner Bros., which made Scott look even more depressed.
And it was definitely an unexpected surprise to meet Leesin unexpectedly today.
Although it seems that there are not many opportunities to cooperate with "Harry Potter", if Leesin has a suitable creative script, Tony and Scott will certainly not let it go lightly.
You know, "Harry Potter" has already begun to be adapted into film and television. With the strong influence of the IP of this novel, as long as the adapted movie is not too bad, then this movie is destined to become a box office hit.
Not to mention that the director of this movie is James, who is a more famous director than Scott, and the cast has been absolutely carefully selected.
Therefore, the popularity of "Harry Potter" is almost destined.
By then, Leesin's works will inevitably rise even further.
It's the perfect time to get to know Leesin, even if I can't get the script for the "Harry Potter" series.
The next day, Tony and Scott dressed up and, under the guidance of the shipping company's chief mate, solemnly knocked on Leesin's door.
Not long after, the door was opened.
The first thing that caught my eye was an oriental face with heavy bags under his eyes but a very energetic face. He frowned and looked at the three people in front of him, opened his mouth slightly, moistened his throat, and then asked: "What's the matter?"
