After returning to the United States, Fatty Wei continued to return to the "Star Wars" crew and was busy filming, while Lu Yuan made a call to James.
The purpose of the phone call was obviously to talk about the script of "The God of Death".
After James received Lu Yuan's call, he came over immediately without even eating breakfast.
"Death is Coming".
James was surprised when he first heard the name.
He hopes to make a movie that is a little closer to reality, but without the direct appearance of gods.
But the title "The God of Death is Coming" directly contains the word "Death".
This made James very confused at first.
When he sat down, Lu Yuan handed him a script.
When he opened the script, he suddenly discovered that this script was not as detailed as the previous "Saw" scripts, and was even completely different from the scripts Lu Yuan had written before.
Just an outline of less than 400 words and...
"Mr. Lu, this is..." James' eyes widened after seeing many incredible killing techniques in the script.
"This is the synopsis of the movie..." Lu Yuan looked at James and laughed.
"Huh?" James was stunned.
"The setting of this movie has a beginning and an ending. As for the rest, just follow my unexpected approach..."
"Let me see..."
After James slowly read through some details of the killing methods, James' expression became solemn.
Although the title of "The God of Death" has the word "Death", in fact, there is no God of Death in the content. Instead, it is a series of incredible accidents and some so-called psychological hints.
When I first saw it, I didn't think it was anything, but when you actually simulated the scene, even James himself felt a creepy feeling.
The closer it is to reality, the easier it is to happen, and the more terrifying it is...
"How about it?"
"Boss... if this movie is made well, it can indeed bring horror movies to a new climax..." James raised his head, "But, boss, the content in the script is connected... Also, although this script is very good
, but it’s a little rough, if you shoot it..."
"James..." Lu Yuan looked at James.
"Um?"
"I feel that the movie is not my movie, but everyone's movie..."
"Ah?" James looked up, a little confused about the situation.
"I hope that the screenwriters of our crew can have a meeting together to discuss the filming of "The God of Death" and at the same time, they can complete the series of "The God of Death" in an instant. After all, there are many unexpected ways of death 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, are you saying that every movie should give everyone a sense of participation? If a good plot is agreed upon, it can be integrated into the script so that everyone can have a sense of accomplishment?" After listening to this, James suddenly remembered
After realizing that Fatty Wei once told him that "remote" is everyone's "remote", he found that he felt something deep in his heart.
Before, he had wondered why Lu Yuan came up with a rough and seemingly incomplete script.
But now...
He suddenly understood!
"Yeah." Lu Yuan nodded.
In fact, it wasn't that he didn't want to write a mature script, but that when he was writing the script for "Death is Coming", he found that he couldn't remember many of the accidental plots in "Death is Coming" and could only remember part of it.
If you really have to fill in all the plots yourself for another film, it will take a long time.
Therefore, at this moment, Lu Yuan tried another method.
That is, he throws out the framework and concept, and then directors like James and the screenwriters below continue to improve the concept. Of course, it is up to him to decide whether to change the final completed script.
Of course, this is an adventure. If it succeeds this time, then Lu Yuan will be able to relax completely.
after all……
He has a lot of story outlines in his mind, but if he wants to translate them in detail, he has to rack his brains...
Moreover, as there were fewer and fewer movies that he was familiar with, Lu Yuan realized that sooner or later, he would be exhausted in the future.
Instead of doing this, it is better to try it sooner.
Of course if it fails...
So……
Just fail.
No matter what, you can't be reduced to begging for food, right?
"Boss, I understand. By the way, boss, do we also need to recruit a few screenwriters for the crew?"
"Well, hiring a screenwriter?"
"The screenwriters under our company seem to..." James hesitated for a moment, then looked up at Lu Yuan.
"What?"
"There is only one real screenwriter, Mr. Qian Zhong. Mr. Qian Zhong now works in four or five crews every day. He gets up early in the morning and usually doesn't go back until midnight... I'm afraid that he will work with us again on "The God of Death"
"Come" script, he will... collapse from exhaustion..."
"Huh? There are no other screenwriters in our company?" Lu Yuan was stunned when he heard this.
"there is none left……"
"how so?"
"Boss, the main reason is that our company doesn't recruit people on weekdays, and the recruitment requirements are very strict. Most people can't get in at all. Moreover, Mr. Qian Zhong's ability is quite good. He is responsible for three or four crews by himself. It seems that he is still
He is at home like a duck in water, so we have no other ideas...but if we put more pressure on him, he may..."
"..." Lu Yuan was silent.
He was lost in thought.
Although "Remote" Entertainment seems to be very strong, has strong combat effectiveness, and is not small in reputation, but up to now, the total number of people seems to be about the same as that of a second-rate entertainment company...
so……
Do I need to expand?
"Boss, how about..." James hesitated for a while, then looked at Lu Yuan.
"Well..." Lu Yuan nodded, and then when he saw James's expression was a little nervous and expectant, he suddenly felt strange: "James... do you have anyone to recommend?"
"Ah..." James was asked by Lu Yuan, and then his eyes averted slightly.
"James...we are friends, aren't we? I hope you can tell me something..."
"Boss, I do have someone to recommend, but..."
"He may not have a high degree of education, and he may not have graduated from a professional school. His previous occupation was an electrician."
"What? Electrician?" When Lu Yuan heard this, he was stunned.
Electrician and screenwriter.
The difference between these two professions...
It's really not that big.
"Yes, but I guarantee that his talent is not bad. When he was in Hollywood, he participated in the screenwriting of several movies, although he was not signed..."
"Why no signature?"
"Because he has no academic qualifications, no family background, and no money, he can only work as 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 that Lu Yuan was not disgusted, he breathed a sigh of relief.
after all……
Since he joined "Remote", he found that everyone in "Remote" is the elite of the elite, and he knows that there is a rule in "Remote" that is not a rule, that is, only those who are selected from a million can come in.
Therefore, his little screenwriter is really insignificant compared to the golden "remote" people.
"Let's do this, James, sign a confidentiality contract, and then let him participate in "Death Is Coming"..."
"Okay!" When he heard this, James breathed a sigh of relief.
Then he excitedly left Lu Yuan's office with the script of "Death is Coming".
After James left, Lu Yuan looked at the sun outside the window.
Suddenly I felt full of hope and positive energy.
He stretched again.
I continued to handle various "remote" matters silently.
Time passes quickly.
In the evening, James suddenly knocked on Lu Yuan's room again.
"Huh? James, what's wrong?"
"Mr. Lu, the script of "Death is Coming" has been completed. Do you want to take a look?"
"What? So fast? Wait, why are there two scripts?"
"Well, one was made by Mr. Qian Zhong, and the other was made by Lillian..."
"ah?"
Lu Yuan frowned.
Will it be fine so soon?
Then I read these two scripts carefully.
The more Lu Yuan looked through it, the more surprised he felt, and the more he looked over it, the more he felt like he might have found a treasure.
About half an hour later, when the sun set, Lu Yuan closed his eyes.
There are two versions of "Death is Coming". Both versions follow their own outlines and integrate their own accidents, and also add some original plots of their own.
and……
Compared with the original world of "Death is Coming", some of the connecting logic seems to be more detailed.
If the two scripts were to be compared, they would each have their own merits, and Lu Yuan himself would not know how to choose.
"Boss, what do you think...this Lillian..."
"I want to meet her."
"She and Mr. Qian Zhong are both outside..."
"Come in, everyone."
"Um."
…………………………
Under the moonlight.
Qian Zhong and Lillian left Lu Yuan's office at the same time.
The two looked at each other.
"You are very good." Qian Zhong looked at Lillian and showed a smile.
"Thank you." Lillian blushed slightly, then lowered her head and fiddled with the notebook in her hand.
That's the script for "Death Is Coming".
"Come on! Welcome to become a member of the "remote" family. I hope you can cherish this hard-won opportunity."
"I...I will."
"Let's make a bet."
"ah?"
"In the future, I will get the honor of best screenwriter faster than you."
"I..." Lillian lowered her head even lower, as if full of unconfidence, but then forcibly raised her head to look at Qian Zhong, "I'll bet with you!"
"good!"
Qian Zhong turned his head, his smile remained the same, but he reminded himself in his heart that he must work harder in the future.
otherwise……
It would be great fun to be thrown away by this new screenwriter.
Then this old man...
Isn’t it shameless to stay “remotely”?
Two versions of "Death is Coming"...
Mr. Lu did not choose any version, but screened the two versions to a certain extent.
Changed to part one and part two.
Lillian's version is considered the first, and his version is the second.
Let’s talk from first to last...
Qian Zhong lost a little this time.
Of course, Qian Zhong didn't feel unhappy, but felt a sense of challenge.
I have been in "remote" for such a long time.
Qian Zhong has always wanted to prove the value of his existence.
And the honor of best screenwriter is where the value lies.
Now, he feels that it is his hibernation period for the time being.
…………………………
After looking at the direction Qian Zhong left.
Lillian shook her fist.
Then he looked back at Lu Yuan's office in the distance.
This is where dreams begin.
Three years!
Three years ago, after she watched the movie "Buried Alive", she suddenly felt a brand in her heart.
I didn't expect that the script could be written like this...
Then……
She made a decision.
She wants to be a screenwriter, a very powerful screenwriter.
It's a pity that everyone is laughing at her for overestimating her abilities.
In the past three years, she has indeed experienced a lot of ridicule, a lot of contempt and unfair treatment.
She even tried to write many original scripts, but these scripts fell into the dust after being submitted.
After all, Hollywood is a place where there is no shortage of screenwriters, and qualifications are all important.
Chollima, Bole?
How is it possible?
When she thought she would go on like this for the rest of her life without any hope, she met James.
James told her that Mr. Lu planned to give her a chance.
Let her seize this opportunity!
Then……
Everything that follows seems like a dream.
Mr. Lu met her and chatted with her about the script.
After asking...
Mr. Lu stood up and formally 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 was still a little surprised.
"Boss, thank you."
"Thank me for what?"
"Thank you for opening a back door!" James was inexplicably grateful.
"James..."
"Um."
"We are friends... don't say these things. If you say these things, you will be outspoken."
In fact...
To Lu Yuan, Lillian's appearance was like giving him a pillow when he fell asleep.
Lu Yuan felt extremely satisfied when he remembered that Lillian could fill in the details of some other scripts that he had asked him before and answered them smoothly!
He is convinced!
Indeed, I found a treasure!
…………………………
When James and Lu Yuan finalized about US$15 million to invest in "Death is Coming" and confirmed the approximate shooting date, James finally left the office with satisfaction.
Andorra's superhero universe is being laid out.
And his horror universe is also being laid...
James feels that his boss will usher in an era of horror movies in the near future.
And he...
He will become the leader of this era of horror movies!
In his hands, various types of horror films will be born.
Go outside and look at the stars in the sky.
James feels full of accomplishment.
After finishing "The God of Death", Lu Yuan rubbed his head and was about to take a good rest, but unfortunately the knock on the door rang again.
"Come in."
Lu Yuan raised his head.
I saw a girl pushing open the door and entering.
"Mr. Lu Yuan, good evening."
"Ah? It's Miss Vivian, Miss Vivian, what are you..."
"I'm looking for you for three things. One is that I resigned. The other is that I hope to join your company. The third is that you have arranged your female companion for the Grammys in two days.
Are you ready? If there are no arrangements, I would like to be your female companion..."
"ah?"
………………………………
"Mr. Foster, congratulations, your forty Guinness record certifications have begun... Are you sure you want to apply for these, such as the person with the most spoons hanging from his mouth in the world, the person with the most plates at one time in the world?
, and the certified record for the person who blinks the most in one second in the world?”
"yes!"
"Are you sure you want to challenge the person with the most Guinness records in the world?"
"yes!"
"Okay, in the next year, we will start tracking the forty applications you submitted... Here, we sincerely wish you can break the record!"
"Thanks!"
Morning.
A young man wearing a baseball cap walked into the Guinness World Records Certification Office.
The young man submitted his identity information and some authentication information.
After submitting it, he breathed a sigh of relief.
but……
Not long after he walked out of the certification center, he received another call.
"Sorry... Mr. Foster, if you want to hit the Guinness record for the most Guinness records, then you need to make ten more applications!"
"Why? The previous thirty items weren't..."
"Oh, we have added some new Guinness World Records information here. The original thirty records have now become forty. If it is confirmed that he will attend this year's Grammy and win the Song of the Year Award,
Then I’m afraid the number of Guinness records will increase to forty-five…so…”
"What!"
After answering the phone, the young man named Foster's eyes widened.
