Chapter 235 The main line of the suspense film
"Okay, I'll have someone come over right away to get the list..." Jon said seriously.
"Well, okay." After saying that, Zhou Shaoming had already hung up the phone.
After a while, there was a knock on the door outside. Zhou Shaoming guessed that it was Jon who sent someone over, so he quickly said to the outside: "Come in."
"Thank you." A female voice rang from the door, and then a beautiful figure appeared in Zhou Shaoming's office. Zhou Shaoming originally thought it was Jon's beautiful secretary Vivian, but after a closer look, it turned out that it was not Vivian at all.
An, but another beauty, Zhou Shaoming asked doubtfully: "Who are you? Why isn't Vivian here?"
The beautiful woman smiled sweetly, and then said: "Dr. Jay, my name is Emily, and I am Vivian's best friend. You have met me at Lionsgate before. Have you forgotten?"
"Well" Zhou Shaoming then remembered that he had indeed met the woman in front of him at Lions Gate, but he just didn't know why she came to his company now. After thinking about it, Zhou Shaoming asked: "Why did you come to us?"
Company?"
After listening to Zhou Shaoming's question, Emily smiled slightly, and then said: "Vivian was transferred to the production department by Manager Jon, and is now an important figure in Supernova Pictures. Manager Jon has one less secretary.
On Vivian's recommendation, I switched jobs from Lions Gate, and I ask your boss to take good care of me in the future."
After hearing what Emily said, Zhou Shaoming came back to his senses. He had been too busy these days. He only knew that Christina had become the manager of the operations department of Supernova Company. He had forgotten that Jon had told him that
Vivian was transferred to the production department and made a joke.
Thinking of this, Zhou Shaoming touched his head and awkwardly said something he once said to Vivian: "Okay, let Jon take care of you."
With that said, Zhou Shaoming handed the A4 paper to Emily, and said: "This is this document, take it to Jon, and tell him by the way, if you can, you can start helping tonight.
I made an appointment."
"Okay, boss." Emily took the A4 paper and walked out of Zhou Shaoming's office.
After taking care of the performers, Zhou Shaoming relaxed a little. After a while, Ben's phone call made him busy again. Ben had already got the script of "Fatal ID" and wanted to study it carefully with him.
Zhou Shaoming thought for a while and decided that it would be better to talk about this kind of thing in person, and then he said: "Well, are you free now? If you can, come to my office. Regarding "Fatal ID", I want to talk to you in person.
Let’s talk.”
As soon as he heard that Zhou Shaoming wanted to talk about his movie, Ben's voice immediately rose a few levels. He only heard him say excitedly: "When you are free, boss, I will be there soon." As he said this, he didn't care whether he was talking to him or not.
The boss called, and Ben hung up the phone angrily.
Seeing how excited the other party was, Zhou Shaoming could only smile helplessly. He was also a person who loved movies, and he could understand Ben's current mood.
Because it was about the movie he was about to shoot, Ben almost ran to Zhou Shaoming's office. When he first opened the door, Zhou Shaoming was startled by the panting and sweating man in front of him.
Aren’t we just going to make a movie? This is so exciting.
Because he ran all the way here, Ben breathed for a long time before he recovered. Zhou Shaoming saw his appearance and quickly asked him to sit on the sofa, poured a glass of water and handed it to him, and then Zhou Shaoming sat down.
Returned to his position.
As soon as he sat down, he couldn't wait to say: "Boss, here is the storyboard for "Fatal ID", please take a look!"
After saying that, Ben took out a folder from a handbag he carried with him and handed it to Zhou Shaoming.
Zhou Shaoming took the script and read it carefully and carefully. At the same time, he used points to buy the movie in the original time and space and made detailed comparisons.
This is the first movie of Supernova Pictures. It has great historical significance, and it also shoulders the important task of making Frank despair. Zhou Shaoming will never dare to be careless.
After a long time, Zhou Shaoming looked at Ben, who was looking forward to it, and said with a smile: "I want to hear your thoughts and your understanding of the plot of this movie."
"OK, "Deadly ID" is a suspenseful mystery murder crime movie. It mainly tells the story of a fat murderer who was sentenced to death on the eve of his death. His attending psychiatrist discovered a diary written by the fat man when he was a child. This diary can fully confirm
The doctor believed that the fat man’s murder was caused by his schizophrenia, so the doctor told the judge that he wanted to urgently interrogate the fat man, and the following story begins.”
"On a rainy night, Fatty was taken from the prison to the room of the judge, prosecutor and lawyers. The doctor forced Fatty to pull out the evil personality from his body. There were a total of eleven personalities split in Fatty's body.
One of these eleven personalities is the evil personality."
"But I plan to put this plot to the end for filming. I plan to turn these eleven personalities into specific characters. I will cast these eleven characters as being gathered together by chance and unable to leave, and then start a journey.
It was a killing game, and the truth of it all was revealed at the end, and who was the real evil personality." Ben said his thoughts in one breath.
Zhou Shaoming kept smiling and listened carefully to Ben's words. Then he opened the director system at will and scanned Ben's data. Soon the director system collected Ben's data.
"Name: Ben Slater
Occupation: Assistant director, production manager of Supernova Pictures
Appearance c-, body c, physical strength b, quality b, potential b, wisdom b, charm e, acting f, directing ability b+, singing level d, eloquence e, overall evaluation: an assistant director with average potential, if he can get the appropriate
If he develops, he can become a slightly famous director."
After reading the data of specialized directors given by the system, Zhou Shaoming was a little surprised. You must know that at the beginning, his directing ability was only B+, and his potential was only as low as C-.
That's all. Although in the later period, his directing ability has been improved through continuous practice.
But compared to his original foundation, his foundation is still a bit poor. If Zhou Shaoming hadn't been a time traveler, he wouldn't have been able to achieve such great success in a short period of time. Compared with other directors, Zhou Shaoming not only has excellent directing abilities
, and also has the ability to foresee things. The combination of the two gave him the reputation as the father of the chainsaw and Zhou Shaoming's current net worth.
But Ben's potential and qualifications are actually higher than mine, which shows that as long as he has the right opportunity, Ben can still make a name for himself in Hollywood.
Zhou Shaoming believed that under his guidance, Ben, who had been a famous director since childhood, could be transformed into a famous film director. Thinking of this, Zhou Shaoming said: "Ben, your idea is good, and it works well."
It’s an idea, and I’m very optimistic about you, but I still need to remind you of a few points.”
Ben quickly sat up straight and listened carefully to Zhou Shaoming's words.
"First of all, multiple personalities are a very common reality in real society, but people often don't notice it. The movie exaggerates this common phenomenon. Each personality of the fat man should correspond to the characteristics of ordinary people.
Character traits, for example, the outdated female star symbolizes the hypocritical and selfish part of human nature, the driver corresponds to the incarnation of all justice images, and the serial murderer corresponds to strength, violence and ferocity. Each character should fully express the characteristics of human nature, every gesture,
The language and facial expressions must correspond one to one." Zhou Shaoming said while pressing his temples and analyzing carefully.
And Ben quickly took out a small notebook, desperately recorded Zhou Shaoming's words, and then kept clicking with his head like a chicken pecking at rice.
"There is one main line in the script. This is not good. It will not easily confuse the audience's judgment. If the audience is asked to guess who is the final evil personality from the beginning, the movie will have no meaning. You can modify it.
Two lines are run in parallel and presented alternately, which will give the audience an illusion. Especially the stormy weather when the judge and doctor interrogated the fat man, coupled with the other main line in which everyone was trapped in a motel due to a flash flood, this will make the audience feel confused.
The audience thought these were two events that happened on the same day, but in the end they realized that this was just an elaborate arrangement by an evil personality."
Ben was a little puzzled at first, then slapped his thigh suddenly and couldn't help but praise: "Boss, you are absolutely right! I will definitely pay more attention to this."
"The combination of multiple personalities and suspense films cannot make the audience feel that we are making things up after watching it. Every shot and every metaphor must have a red line running through the whole scene. You can ask the screenwriter to modify it, for example, use
A poem or a song serves as a guide, which appears at the beginning, and then appears as a reminder in the play, so that the audience suddenly realizes the role of this red line." Zhou Shaoming read the script several times, but he didn't see it.
The little poem Fatty ID Fatty had been chanting appeared and reminded him.
"Good boss!" Facing his friend, mentor and boss, he could have been learning with an open mind, but Zhou Shaoming taught without reservation.
After a pause, Zhou Shaoming continued: "Well, when I start filming The 300 Spartans, you will start filming Fatal ID together. During this time, you will also start to select actors. As for the cast, I will use
With my own connections, I will try to get an all-star cast for you. Isabella will play the role of a popular female star, Robert Jr. will play the hotel owner, and Jeremy, Tobin, and Jason Statham should not be there either.
