Chapter 329 A Mental Patient in Hollywood (Earth)

When everyone saw Truman again, their attitudes were different.

That cautious state is like seeing a fragile porcelain that can be broken even by looking at it.

Especially director Justin, remembering that he had let this "violent man with severe mental illness" use any means to treat the BOSS to treat himself, a layer of cold sweat would appear on his forehead, that was simply desperate.

Actors with mental illness are not uncommon, and those with mental illness can be especially good at fighting. It is a rare species that those seemingly soft hands are weapons in the world.

The attitude of the screenwriters towards Truman has also changed from "angry" to "he is sick and let him order", that is, everyone comes to work, why bother to risk their lives for a script?
So Truman found that his words were respected, and many opinions were quickly rectified. When he was watching, even the most courageous screenwriter before would be timid, and director Justin would even avoid his calm gaze.

"Adam, you did a great job~"

Truman praised Adam sincerely, because Adam helped him solve a huge problem. If it weren't for Adam, the script revision work of "Shang-Chi 2" might have lasted for a long, long time.

"CH, that's not something to be happy about." Adam said, "You're a ticking time bomb right now. If you give Disney another chance to choose, they will never sign with you."

That's right, if Disney knew in advance that Truman was such a politically correct and rare elite monster with multiple buffs superimposed, Disney would never get involved with Truman, even if Truman was not only nominated for an Oscar, but actually won an Oscar... Well, if he really won an award, he might not consider it.

In short, although Adam's trick broke the opponent's "discriminatory attack", it also put Truman in an embarrassing situation where "no one dared to use it". Therefore, "Shang Qi 2" must be successful, otherwise Adam really doesn't know how to manage Truman.

Truman is not worried about this. He is just happy that the script of "Shang Qi 2" is revised so quickly. Every time a script discussion meeting is held, it is like a hot knife cutting butter.

Liu Tianxian has been in contact with Truman the most recently, and she has not seen anything unusual. It is impossible for her not to know about those rumors, and she can still maintain this mentality and attitude. It can only be said that she has enough trust in Truman.

With the joint efforts of the two, the script of "Shang Qi 2" began to take the right direction.

The two of them are not working as screenwriters, and they don't know how to modify those scenes and characters. They don't understand the golden rules of Hollywood about scripts, such as there must be 42 to 48 scenes, how many characters there must be, and every scene must have jokes, etc. They don't understand, but as Chinese, they know how to describe it is awkward.

"It's all based on Chinese culture, but "Kung Fu Panda" won't make people feel embarrassed. Is this the difference between live-action movies and cartoons?" Liu Tianxian complained about the script in front of him, "Even the dross that women can't go to the dinner table will be described as a national characteristic. What do these screenwriters think?"

"I asked them to change it." Truman wrote it down.

"If it weren't for the principle of confidentiality, we should really let other people participate in the script discussion, but we still can't think too thoroughly." Liu Tianxian also has dark circles under her eyes these days, she said with a sigh.

"Adam said that there are many people with mixed opinions. If the script is leaked to too many people, once this matter is exposed, Disney will happily terminate my contract." Truman said.

"If you are terminated, my heroine can't be kept." Liu Tianxian patted his face, "Come on, we can't lose to these foreign devils!"

"Come on." Truman also said.

Liu Tianxian suddenly began to look at Truman. According to her experience, as long as she stared at him like this, no one would be indifferent. But Truman kept extremely calm, her gaze seemed to be plunged into a deep pool without any response.

"You..." Liu Tianxian approached Trumen.

"What's wrong?" Truman asked.

The two of them were very close, Liu Tianxian said, "Why don't you have any dark circles under your eyes? Didn't you stay up all night? Could it be that all I stayed up were fake nights?"

"I drink a lot of water." Truman replied seriously.

"Hehe." Liu Tianxian smiled, "You are not a mortal, my god."

It was still early in the morning today when Truman came out of Liu Tianxian’s room, and then Zhang Ye, the agent who had spent the night next door to hear the news, knocked on Liu Tianxian’s door. Liu Tianxian opened the door with panda eyes listlessly. She yawned and expressed her agent’s concerns first.

"Nothing happened, just discussing the script, and it's almost over, there's a script that we're all happy with."

"If someone else told me such a thing, I would definitely not believe it." Zhang Ye had suffered enough for the past two days, his eyes were red, and he was afraid that there would be some undue love sparks and physical accidents between the two of them.

"You think too much. Looking at him, I have a guilty conscience for any thoughts that I shouldn't have. How can it be possible." Liu Tianxian laughed at himself, "We are so old."

"It's unimaginable that such a person has mental problems." Zhang also said with emotion, "He looks absolutely perfect."

"It's perfect because..." Liu Tianxian stopped talking halfway through, Zhang was also very curious about what she wanted to say, and Liu Tianxian had already swallowed the words 'no soul', it hurts too much, even behind other people's backs.

……

This should be the last script discussion meeting.

It has been held 10 times before, and for a full month, all the screenwriters were exhausted for Truman's various opinions. Now it has finally come to an end, and everyone is thankful that they survived this catastrophe.

Including director Justin, Disney vice president Tang Jun, screenwriter Dave, and two other named screenwriters all participated in this meeting, which made the scene a bit grand.

First of all, everyone is reading the script from the first version, which cannot be said to be "different" but can only be regarded as "different people". Although every scene in the new script is written by the screenwriters, the ideas come from Truman and Liu Tianxian. Justin also raised many opinions on the plot control. In short, after a month of running-in, this script should be the closest to everyone's acceptance bottom line.

"If everyone has no objections..." Tang Jun said, he attended this seminar to finalize the script.

"I have an idea." A slightly skinny white screenwriter spoke. Truman remembered that his name was Lee Malvo.

"I think the script is crap!" said Lee Malvoy.

While Lee Malvo was speaking, a fantasy appeared in front of Truman's eyes.

He stood on the plain where he could see 'Ziyu', and in front of him a strange and abrupt mountain was rising, it seemed to pierce the sky, and it hit 'Ziyu''s face.

"Here it comes, the devil has stretched out its minions..." Shen Yining's voice echoed in Truman's ears through the 'foolish' sky.

Truman came back to his senses again, just in time to see Lee Malvoy pull out the assault rifle hidden under the table.
