Yang Jian told Jennifer Aniston about a famous romantic comedy movie in the parallel world, "The 10-Day Dating Guide" starring Matthew McConaughey and Kate Hudson.
This movie achieved terrible box office results when it was released in 2003, with a box office of 100 million US dollars in North America and more than 70 million overseas. The story is simple and interesting, and it is an excellent popcorn movie. The audience does not need to waste time watching it.
brain.
Although one of them did it for a bet and the other did it to publish a column, when the male and female protagonists chose each other, they actually chose people they liked. Just like Yongqi fell in love with Xiao Yanzi, it was love with one stone.
Yang Jian added some details and chatted with Jennifer as if telling a story. The more she listened, the more excited she became.
"Could it be that you and Drew came up with "Fifty First Dates" because of the conversation? I've never seen anyone who is better at telling stories than you."
"The script didn't come out of conversation. I wrote a story about amnesia on a whim. There are too many movies and TV series about amnesia. I thought about what would happen if the protagonist did not lose his memory for a long time, but lost his memory every day. I was on holiday
It was written and made up."
Jennifer swallowed and made up her mind again. There was nothing she could say to let Yang Jian run away. He was really a "prosperous" genius. With him, it would be difficult to succeed in your career.
"When are you going to write the complete script?"
"I may not have time to write, so I can write an outline first, and then ask a professional screenwriter to help refine it. You have met my friend Drake, who helped refine "Fifty First Dates"."
Jennifer thought for a while and asked: "That handsome blond guy who is about the same height as you? I'm impressed."
"Yes, that's him. Maybe I can see him tomorrow and I will talk to him about it." Yang Jian did whatever came to his mind without delay.
He liked the movie very much and remembered a lot of details, so he knew it had a future.
Derek Croft will definitely participate in the filming of "The Ring". He has returned from a previous trip to Europe, and there is no conflict in time.
If this movie stars Jennifer, 80% of the box office will be higher than in the parallel world. Her popularity is much higher than that of the original heroine. The original Kate Hudson has no advantages except that she comes from an acting family. Her performance lacks humor.
It feels a bit artificial.
To put it simply, she is not sweet enough in person, and the photos show her trying to be cute. Matthew McConaughey's performance is obviously better than that of the heroine.
Yang Jian feels that Kate's popularity is largely due to the fact that her mother is the famous actress Goldie Hawn and her stepfather is Kurt Russell, who has good connections in Hollywood.
Yang Jian finished the script in advance and it was produced by Huaer Pictures. Barrymore could also make a lot of money. He has too many good movies in his mind, and the biggest problem at the moment is that he has no time to make them.
Drake hung out with Jon Favreau and others at Huaer Pictures, and it was absolutely wonderful. Ryan Reynolds was also lucky to become famous early, and Yang Jian said to call him when there is a suitable role.
.
Drake will be busy next. Yang Jian also wants to find him to refine the script for "The Fast and the Furious". He is not needed for "Death Comes", so just ask Huang Yiyu.
Drake's writing is very efficient and he is a talented writer. He will find time to finish the two scripts.
The next morning, Jennifer went to the set to continue filming "Friends", while Yang Jian went to the audition location to watch the casting of "The Ring".
As soon as Yang Jian arrived, the level of the audition immediately improved a lot. Some young girls who participated in the audition asked him for his autograph, and they were all very excited. They thought Yang Jian would participate in the movie, but Yang Jian said that he was the chief screenwriter.
.
Everyone knows him, and his coming here means that he does have a close relationship with Huaer Pictures and Barrymore.
After Yang Jian entered the house to meet his girlfriend, he greeted director Gore Verbinski. Verbinski, who was 185cm tall and slightly chubby with glasses, suddenly seemed less tall.
"Yang, it's nice to meet you. I heard that you wrote the script and suggested that I direct the movie. I was really surprised." Verbinski shook hands with Yang Jian vigorously.
He is 12 years older than Yang Jian, but Yang Jian is so famous and an international superstar that he acts like a younger brother.
Yang Jian smiled and said: "Gore, I have seen your short film and I believe that you have the talent to make this movie. I am very happy to cooperate with you."
"Me too." Verbinski said with a smile: "The rhythm of this story is very good. It will definitely be a good movie that is both suspenseful and terrifying."
"I believe the movie will be a hit at the box office. If there is a chance in the future, I really want to work with you in a movie. Unfortunately, I have to play basketball and don't have that much time." Yang Jian's words are sincere.
If possible, he would like to replace Johnny Depp in "Pirates of the Caribbean". Anyway, Jack Sparrow's look and make-up make it impossible to tell which country he is from.
It's a pity that he can only think about it and doesn't have time to make such a blockbuster film. And if he plays Captain Jack Sparrow with his physique, ten little blacksmiths are no match for him, and they can easily push Orlando Bloom to the ground and rub him.
Verbinski was also a bit gossipy and asked Yang Jian in a low voice: "Can I ask what the relationship between the heroine and you is? Naomi is not famous, but she is the default heroine."
"She is my girlfriend, and I wrote this script for the novel adaptation rights I bought from her." Yang Jian did not hide it. This way the director would give Naomi face during filming and take special care of her.
Actors should speak out when they have a backstage. This is not the time to be low-key.
Verbinski said: "I thought your girlfriend was Barrymore. You guys have been in the entertainment news."
Yang Jian nodded. "She does too."
"..." Verbinski just wanted to say, "The aristocratic circle is really chaotic." He really didn't expect that Yang Jian had a girlfriend who was much older than him, and she admitted it so generously.
But he could also understand that Naomi was an impressive beauty who was stunning at first sight. As soon as he saw the heroine, he felt that the film would be a solid box office hit and would definitely attract audiences.
At this time, Drake came to chat with Yang Jian again and asked in a low voice: "When we audition for the third female lead later, can I insert someone in?"
Yang Jian was stunned and asked with a smile: "Is there a third female lead in this film? The second female lead is a daughter, and the third female lead is a ghost, right?"
"No, I'm talking about the character Becca, the schoolgirl who didn't die at the beginning. She had some scenes." Drake whispered: "When I went to Europe, I attended a party and met a German female model.
.I bragged that I was a producer, and she wanted to get into the film and television industry, so she came back with me."
"Huh? You actually kidnapped someone from Europe?" Yang Jian teased. It would be crazy for Drake not to find a girlfriend nearby when he is in love.
"She asked me to come back. How can this be called abduction? We are dating, I like her very much, and we are living happily in Europe. She is living in my house now, so I want to help her pick up a few small roles to practice
Practice." Drake needs Yang Jian's permission.
He himself was just starting out because of his relationship with Yang Jian, and he was afraid that inserting actresses into the crew would cause resentment. As long as Yang Jian was willing, Barrymore would have no objection.
Yang Jian patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Brother, you are not bragging, you are indeed a producer. You are also a super promising screenwriter. You will have a lot of work in the future. As long as her image is good enough, let her
It’s okay to be a vase heroine.”
Drake was immediately excited. "Thank you. Let's go talk to Drew? After all, she is the first producer."
"Let's go, it's a piece of cake."
The two went to chat with Barrymore for a while, and Drake introduced his German girlfriend, Diane Kruger, who was studying the script clips outside.
"What did you say her name was?" Yang Jian asked.
"Diane Kruger, what's wrong?"
"It's okay, the name is quite nice." Yang Jian took a deep breath, knowing that the butterfly effect was happening again.
