Chapter 7 'Adventure in the Center of the Earth' Project
"Hey, grandma, I sold the movie today."
"We don't know yet, but there will definitely be more than ten or two hundred thousand."
"Grandma, wait until I go back to build a big house for you."
…
"Mom, my movie found a distributor today, and they still want to buy the copyright."
"How about a few thousand yuan... I didn't even agree if they wanted to give me two million."
"It's okay, I'm not tired. The company has arranged a dormitory for me. Don't worry, I've signed a contract,"
"Well, you guys should also take care of yourselves, I understand."
"It's too early to talk about a girlfriend... I'll call you back when the money comes out. You first pay a down payment for a house and build a new building for grandma at home..."
…
After wandering around the living room and making several phone calls for half an hour, his mother's surprise and grandma's joy on the phone gave Lin Juan a sense of satisfaction. He recollected the joy of this success.
Then he sat on the soft sofa in the hall, with his backpack on the coffee table. On the coffee table were his laptop and a script with a white cover. There were only four words on the script: "Journey to the Center of the Earth"
This is his first job. To be honest, there are a lot of things happening today. The release of the movie has been finalized, the copyright has been negotiated, he has also signed a contract, and he has also received a new movie. The pace is a bit fast, but he is calm and relaxed.
, behaved calmly. After living alone for so many years, he had long been accustomed to hiding everything in his heart.
And he is now very interested in the script in front of him. He has even put aside the matter of buying sheets and quilts. He really loves movies. This is the first half of his life, and it should also be the second half of his life. This script is in front of him.
It belongs to him.
Bo~
Lin Juan opened the cover, and the brand new pages made a pleasant sound as he scratched his fingers. He looked at the first page expectantly.
【First scene, day, inside.】
【Daytime, break, university lecture hall.】
[Lin Hai gets up and packs his schoolbag]
[Xu Wen rubbed Lin Hai’s shoulder and joked: Why are you in such a hurry to finally get an appointment with Miss Tang? 】
[Lin Hai: Look at my face, what is written on it.]
[Xu Wen looked carefully: bad! 】
[Lin Hai rolled his eyes and tossed his schoolbag: It’s over then. Let’s go. I’ll go to the library. If I don’t make up for the lessons, it’ll be over. 】
[Xu Wen smiled and Lin Hai walked out of the classroom]
…
Gu~
The sunlight in the room gradually became dim, and then dimmed. When Lin Jian, who had been concentrating on the script, came back to his senses, the light in the room was almost hard to see the words on the script. His stomach made a growl. He looked at the time and saw that it was already.
It was around six o'clock in the afternoon. He had read it for about four hours and only read half of the script.
Preliminarily speaking, this is a...well...not that outstanding, but not that cliché script either.
If it were in the system, Lin Juan would probably give it a C rating, probably because the subject matter is fresh.
The investment in this project is only 50 million, so it is not a blockbuster. The story tells the story of the daughter of a geology professor who became curious about the possible location of the entrance to the center of the earth due to her father's research and speculation, and determined to explore, but was killed.
The male protagonist discovered that he wanted to dissuade her, but of course he couldn't resist the woman.
How can a man win over the woman he likes?
Then the two people embarked on a journey to find the center of the earth, and accidentally successfully entered a secret place in the center of the earth, encountering crises and adventure stories along the way.
Generally speaking, perhaps due to funding issues, the script is not very imaginative, the underground space lacks diversity, and there is also a lack of emotional communication between the male and female protagonists.
Of course, this is in Lin Juan's eyes, maybe it's good enough in the eyes of others.
"Bang bang."
When Lin Juan got up, there happened to be a knock on the door. He rubbed his dizzy head and walked to open the door. When he got to the door, he turned on the light in the living room and opened the door. He frowned and looked at the stranger in front of him.
face.
This is a black man.
Why are there black people here?
"Hello Director Lin, I am your neighbor who lives next door. I am also an actor in Chenguang. My name is Will Bruce." Will looked nervously at Lin Juan as he introduced himself. His eyes were filled with nothing but nervousness.
There is also desire.
He didn't look very old, about 25 or 26 years old. Lin Juan looked at him and asked doubtfully, "Do you know me?"
"Of course, the actors in Chenguang may now know that our company has signed a director, and my agent told me that he lives next door to me. I hesitated for an afternoon and decided to come to visit. I hope I won't disturb you."
It could be seen that Will was a little nervous, but he spoke clearly and deliberately, deliberately making his tone lighter, and gestured to the fruit in his hand as he spoke.
Hey, I'm quite familiar with this Chinese routine.
Lin Juan smiled. He was always polite to people: "Thank you, do you want to come in and sit down for a while?"
"Of course, thank you." Will nodded and smiled, looking a little excited.
To be honest, Lin Jian is a little face-blind towards black people and feels that they all look similar. For example, he thinks this Will looks very similar to the actor named Will Smith in the system. He is a powerful actor, but obviously
He is not that Will.
As soon as he turned around, Lin Jian roughly sorted out the clues. The news of his signing should have spread in the company, and then his agents told his actors that he might have a lot of entertainment in the future.
This gave him a headache.
"Sit down wherever you want. I just came here and I don't have much at home. I was just going to go out and buy some." Lin Juan said with a smile, calmly and calmly.
"It doesn't matter. Do you want to buy quilts, toothbrushes or something? I know where they are sold, and I can take you there." Will quickly said after putting down a bag of fruit in his hand, and stood at the door politely, with a look in his eyes.
The color of expectation.
Lin Juan burst into laughter. He noticed that Will's eyes would glance at the script on the coffee table from time to time, but he pretended not to see it. There were no black characters in this play.
Nowadays, some Chinese science fiction films, war films, and mythological blockbusters occasionally have black characters, but they are still rare, and none of them have a black man as the leading actor. I don’t know what this guy thinks when he comes to China to develop his career.
?
Lin Juan thought for a while and said with a smile: "Okay, by the way, I'll treat you to a meal, and we will be colleagues from now on."
"I please, I please." Will said happily with a smile. He had reason to be happy. The young director in front of him didn't seem to be difficult to get along with.
Lin Juan had nothing to deal with, so he took Will out the door. Along the way, Will showed off his racial talent as a black man and kept talking, introducing himself as if he was rapping.
"I'm from Los Angeles, USA. You know it's too difficult for actors to survive there, especially for black people like me. I've played many small roles, but never had a real chance. Just when I was desperate, I saw a
It's a Chinese movie, that movie is called "Star Alliance", you know, that movie is great..."
