China Entertainment’s rescue plan is hard to come by

Chapter 313: Actor’s role [please subscribe]

That morning, Liu Yifei was really angry.

Sun Yi spent a lot of effort to coax Xiao Nizi.

When she returned to the house, Liu Yifei had already prepared breakfast.

Although it is just simple bread and milk, it is Xiao Nizi’s intention.

Sun Yi was overjoyed immediately and sat down directly at the dining table.

Liu Yifei, with quick eyes and quick hands, grabbed the plate and said fiercely:

"I won't give you food."

"Hey, didn't you admit your mistakes just now? Why are you still holding a grudge?"

"Just remember, who asked you to go so far?"

Although Liu Yifei's expression was fierce, she was not really angry. She just vented her dissatisfaction a little, rolled her eyes at Sun Yi, and then scolded him.

"Go wash your hands first."

"okay."

When Sun Yi came back after washing up, he found that the bread had been specially fried with butter. It was golden and looked very appetizing, so he picked it up and took a bite.

"Crack."

Why is it a bit brittle?

Sun Yi turned it over and took a look.

Well, the other side was obviously overcooked.

Looking up at Liu Yifei, I found that Xiao Nizi lowered her head with an embarrassed look on her face. After another inspection, she found that what was on her plate was even worse, not even one side was fried.

Like a child who made a mistake, Liu Yifei explained in a low voice:
"There's only this bag of bread at home, it's gone."

Sun Yi understood. It turned out that she had never done it before. She was a newbie. It took a whole bag of bread to succeed in getting this half piece, and she gave it to herself.

"It's quite delicious. If you don't believe me, try it."

As he spoke, Sun Yi tore off the unbitten half of the bread in his hand and handed it to Liu Yifei's plate. He also tore off half of the bread that had been fried on both sides from her plate and took it back.

Then he raised his head to her and said:
"Half of the delicious food is for each person. No one needs to eat more."

Hearing Sun Yi's words, Liu Yifei pursed her lips, her eyes curved into crescents, and nodded happily.

After breakfast, the two packed up and set off to meet Matt.

I made an appointment with him last night to discuss the script today.

There is a commercial street on campus at the University of Southern California. It is not a specialized commercial street, but some shops that serve students and meet their daily needs.

Such as a coffee shop.

Sun Yi and Matt made an appointment here.

The three of them have been sitting for a long time.

Apart from coffee and a few snacks, the table was full of manuscripts.

Liu Yifei was stirring the coffee spoon by spoon while listening to her brother give Matt his suggestions for revision.

"The science fiction background is okay, just expand it a bit, but the film won't show too much. After all, this is a small-budget movie. Instead, it will serve as a suspense to attract the audience to keep watching."

"The twists in the script are not enough. We need to add more twists. The story of your script is quite complete, but it is still a little thin. It only revolves around a basement and there are not many scenes. Then you must add more twists."

"The role is not enough. In addition to the male protagonist and the female protagonist, there is another role. His position is equivalent to a third-party decryptor. In the process of the female protagonist's investigation, he gives some suggestions and help, and then develops a relationship with the male protagonist. Conflict, ramp up the drama.”

Matt bit the end of his pen and thought about what Sun Yi had to say.

Many of Sun Yi's suggestions were very pertinent and gave him a feeling of enlightenment.

Many issues that I had been confused about during my previous creation suddenly became clear after Sun Yi said this in a few words.

As soon as Sun Yi paused, Liu Yifei beside him immediately dug out a piece of cake and put it into Sun Yi's mouth.

"Well, it's delicious."

At this time, Matt lowered his head tightly, not enough to peek at all, but he still felt helpless.

I've already been like this, and you two are still like this.

Really good!

"By the way, Mr. Sun, what are your requirements for the actors in this movie?" After asking, he quickly added an explanation, for fear that Sun Yi would have some misunderstanding about him and want to interfere in the selection of actors.

"Mr. Sun, when I adapt the script, it will be much more convenient if I can have certain actors selected and follow their image."

"Man, don't be nervous. I understand what you mean. Just call me director. Stop being so polite. I'll convince you to go back on your word first."

"No, no, no, Mr. Sun, ah no, director."

Matt waved his hands anxiously.

"That's right."

When Sun Yi first arrived today, he had already slapped an $8 check in front of Matt.

It's not that he's pretending, it's that he understands the truth.

If you want a horse to run fast, you must feed it.

As for why it is $8, not more or less?
That's because there is a Writers Guild in the United States, also known as the WGA, and they have clear regulations on script bids. Original scripts must not be less than $7.26, and adapted scripts must not be less than $6.35.

Matt is an adapted script, and he is still a pure newcomer, so he should be in the $6.35 range.

Sun Yi gave him the original price and even raised the price.

As for why they didn’t give more, it’s the principle of “giving rice a favor and losing a favor”.

As a newcomer, if Matt finds out that his script is worth so much money, he will inevitably have some other ideas in his mind.

Money and silk touch people's hearts, but many people are not worthy of their virtue.

Besides, Sun Yi knew very well that human nature could never stand the test.

So, there is no need to act stupid and generous.

Besides, the price of 8 yuan has already been paid to him. If the later film is successful, he will be given an extra red envelope.

When Matt saw the check, he was so flattered that he almost burst into tears.

He held the check and said a lot of words of thanks incoherently.

Sun Yi was stunned at the time. He had known Matt for nearly a week, and the two of them had said more words together than this time.

Generally speaking, this is what it means. "Bu has been living half his life, and he only regrets that he has never met his master. If he doesn't give up, Bu is willing to be his adoptive father!"

Of course, Sun Yi cannot recognize this son, but Matt's attitude is still worthy of encouragement.

As for the actors, the character of the original heroine is very good.

Unlike some other suspense movies, the protagonists are often very stupid and forcibly reduced to intelligence. The recommendation of the plot often relies on them doing things that people with normal IQs cannot understand.

The heroine in the original work is an independent and intelligent woman with her own goals from beginning to end.Every decision she made in panic was the best decision in the desperate situation.

She looks slender, but is calm and brave, which is very suitable for her little girl.

Currently, the premise is that she keeps Yahuazi in check.

This film does not have high requirements for the actors' acting skills, especially the heroine's acting skills. It is more about the suspense created by the shooting techniques and environment.The acting responsibility of the entire film is actually concentrated on the male protagonist.

In this way, the movie is more friendly to my girlfriend, as if it was tailor-made.

"Well, heroine, what do you think of this beautiful lady in front of you?"

Sun Yi looked at Liu Yifei beside him with a playful expression.

Liu Yifei was working hard on a piece of fruit cake, with bulging cheeks and a spoon in her mouth.

After hearing what his brother said, his eyes widened, as if he couldn't believe it.

Sun Yi slapped his forehead and sighed leisurely.

That's it, if I can survive more than 10 minutes in the movie, it's because of the kindness of the screenwriter.

Matt also blinked and looked at Sun Yi, as if he was saying something in his heart.

"Are you kidding me!"

Liu Yifei blushed and swallowed the cake in three gulps, seemingly choking.

She really didn't expect that her brother would ask him to act.

Yesterday at the party, although she heard Mr. Harvey's suggestion, she took it as a compliment.

She's not stupid either. Harvey obviously doesn't know her. His "The King of Kung Fu" didn't make much of a splash in North America. Even if it did, it was concentrated on Big Brother Cheng Long and Big Brother Lianjie. Harvey is very proud of himself. Maybe they looked familiar, and I guess they were investigated later.

It was her brother's first time setting foot in Hollywood. As someone who has been in and out of the United States for many years, she knew Hollywood better. This place did not believe in failure and never had a second chance.

So when she learned that her brother was going to make a Hollywood movie, although she also had expectations of starring in it, she didn't say it out loud at all. She knew her own level and was afraid of dragging Sun Yi down. She only thought about her brother's time in the United States. As long as I can stay with him and take care of him, I don't think much about anything else.

Now Sun Yi asked her to play the heroine, but she was greatly surprised.

"Don't make trouble, I can't do it."

"Come on, don't move. The director is going to audition you now."

"what?"

"Be serious and start right away."

"Oh"

"You came to the United States with your mother, you don't understand the language, you are surrounded by strangers, but you still have to live. Today you are in school, there are classmates who have ill intentions towards you, and there are neutral classmates. You can only survive today, Only then can I go home and see my mother.”

"I am the classmate who has ill intentions towards you. Matt is neutral. Now I need you to show your bravery, strength, and wisdom."

Liu Yifei was confused at first and didn't understand, but Matt understood and began to look forward to Liu Yifei's performance.

Sun Yi compared meeting his mother to escaping and ascending to heaven. The malicious classmates were the male protagonists who kidnapped her, and the neutral classmates were the third person who temporarily joined Sun Yi just mentioned.

Liu Yifei didn't know why, but looking at the serious expressions of the two people, she finally paid attention to it.

She had never read the real script, and when Sun Yi was talking to Matt, her focus was all on the little cake.

However, the scene her boyfriend talked about was obviously something she had faced when she was a child, and now she began to think about her own experiences during that time.

Then slowly entered it.

When facing Sun Yi, she pursed her lips, frowned slightly, her eyes were firm, and her muscles were tense. She knew that when dealing with people with ill intentions, weakness would only amplify their malice.

Facing Matt, her eyes were obviously softer, and there was a faint smile on her lips. This was the person she needed to win over, and the natural weakness of women would subconsciously arouse a feeling of weakness in men. The desire to protect comes.

Liu Yifei's body frame is actually not considered slender in the East. After all, she is 170cm tall, but compared with some Westerners, it is extremely slender.

Coupled with her somewhat subtle oriental beauty.

Compare it with the huge kidnapper set in the script.

The contrast is great.

It’s natural to let the audience take in the action.

Matt was shocked.

"Ms. Liu Liu, she is great and fits the bill very well."

Sun Yi shrugged his shoulders as if to say.

"Look, I'm not the only one who says you fit the bill."

Liu Yifei pursed her lips in excitement, wanting to laugh.

She was happy that she could finally help her brother.

Of course, Sun Yi's audition was far-fetched, and there was obviously a suspicion of cheating, but he didn't believe it. If he didn't act in this film, and he would teach her step by step, he wouldn't believe that his girlfriend's slender head couldn't blossom.

The actress was decided, and Matt was ready to make some adjustments based on Liu Yifei's situation.

The heroine becomes a Chinese girl, and she is set to be brave, strong and wise.

As for the actor, he is a veteran, a somewhat neurotic kidnapper, plus a little neuroticism, and a false sense of mission as a savior.

Sun Yi was very impressed by the male protagonist in the original work.

John Goodman, one of the famous veteran actors in Hollywood, is just like a golden supporting actor in Hong Kong movies.
As a senior green actor, his acting skills are very comprehensive.Whether it is a decent role, a sinister villain or a comedy, he can handle it with ease, and he has played an important supporting role as the finishing touch in many classic movies.

Believe it or not, he has appeared in classic films such as "The Artist", "Transformers", "Fake Gods", "Monsters, Inc." and so on.

Therefore, Sun Yi was still planning to go to him directly according to the original work.

In this way, among the three people, or to be precise, two people, the fairy sister basically took care of the whole process. With the discussion between Sun Yi and Matt, the entire script and the main actors were released one after another.
