Even the scenes, there are so few.For some Hollywood blockbusters, the production cost is almost negligible.However, it is such a low-cost film.In later generations, because the script is super awesome.With a sci-fi-color-color lens, coupled with the hard-working performances of the two protagonists, it has raked in hundreds of millions of dollars in box office around the world. If it weren't for the 2012 Oscars that haven't arrived yet, it is estimated that the source code movie will also Nominated for an Oscar, it competes with other films for Best Picture.

The charm of Renren is really poor, especially under the forwarding of some enthusiastic readers.This made this source code script spread from China to the world at once.And Chen Jiayi is also waiting for contact from the film and television company.

……

Hollywood.

"Hollywood City" is located in the northwest of "Los Angeles City", the second largest city in the United States in the southwest of "California", and is a world-famous movie city.It can almost be said that here is the world's most outstanding film market base, the world's richest film investor, and the world's most outstanding directors and actors.Countless world-renowned stars will come to this place when their country develops to a certain stage.People like Jackie Chan, Jet Li, Chow Yun-fat, etc. also yearn for Hollywood. They hope to come to Shihan, a world movie center, to show off their own talents.

But I have to say that in Hollywood, he is a big stage.

Often you may be admired by thousands of people in China, but in Hollywood, you are nothing.Counting the Hong Kong stars, it seems that only Bruce Lee has had some good treatment in Hollywood, and the others... have not been very happy.Although from the publicity, it seems that these stars are doing very well in Hollywood.

"Director Donan, how are you doing recently?"

In a spacious and bright office, an old man about 50 years old is closing his eyes and thinking about something.At this time, another young man quietly came to his office.Judging from his appearance, he seems to be very familiar with this old man.

"Green... Nice to meet you, have you brought me another beautiful script?"

This young man named Green is a gold medal editor in Hollywood, and the more famous classic films such as "The Wandering Man" and "The King"... are his masterpieces.Many directors in Hollywood are looking forward to seeing this talented editor.Many people say that Green, he is the guarantee of the box office.As long as the filming of Green's masterpiece starts, even if it can't win an Oscar, it can still get a very good box office.

"No, Director Donan, I'm sorry, I haven't been thinking very well in the past few months, and I haven't come up with a suitable script."

American artists are like this, they have a natural romantic mood.The more famous the artist, the less he produces.Often within a few months, a film and television script may not be produced.The same is true for Green.However, if he writes a script, every one will be sought after by countless directors.

"Hey, Green, please stop hooking up with some girls. Just help me, old man, you know, I'm short of a script right now. Of course, you know, if it's a normal script, even if I don't make a movie, I’m not going to work casually either.”

"Well, I know, today, that's what I'm here for. I think you should act faster."

"Um, what?"

Green was empty-handed and didn't have any script, so Donan was a little confused.

"Well, I recently saw a script on Renren. This script is so good. I think, my old man, you should buy it quickly. Otherwise, maybe, this script will be sold by others. Bought it."

Now Green, as long as he thinks of the script he saw yesterday, he can't help but go crazy.

"My God, this is a work of genius."

The world of the past 8 minutes has simply given him an extraordinary experience.Even as an editor, he would be moved by it after watching it.So, he came to Hollywood today, ready to tell Donan.Because, he knew that if he didn't act quickly, with the excellence of this script, he would definitely be taken by other directors.

"Well, Green, what kind of script is this?"

Seeing Green's intoxicated look, Donan became interested.Based on his understanding of Green, although this guy is very talented, he doesn't necessarily think highly of others.Nowadays, it is really rare for someone else's work to make him show such an expression.Looking at it this way, "Donan" is becoming more and more interested in this work.

"Well, Donan, I'll tell you the story."

Green is very excited today, he really wants to see how surprised this great director is.

So, he began to talk about this "Renren Zhong" script.

"This is a movie that takes place in modern times, and it may also be in the future. The movie tells the story of a group of scientific madmen who used quantum theory to create a time in the past 8 minutes... The story begins here."

Half an hour later, "Green" fully expressed the script in his editor's unique dictated words.In particular, Green saw Donan's tongue-licking expression when he was excited, and Green knew it.This script completely fascinated the great director, and seeing him, Green laughed heartily.This comes from the heart, and only editors can experience the feeling that one's work is recognized and highly appreciated by others.

"Oh, God, Green, where is this script, I must buy it."

Donan couldn't wait after listening.

"Don't worry, my friend, this work is written by a Chinese."

"Chinese?"

"Yes, like you, I am also very surprised how they can write such a classic script. However, after seeing movies like Sleepwalking Jade and Legend of Shushan, I have no doubts."

In that mysterious ancient oriental country, it is understandable that some magical things appeared in him.Not to mention, in the past two years, Chinese movies have taken the world by storm.Even Green, who has always been obsessed with Chinese movies, had to re-examine. Are Chinese movies really the same thing?

Until, after he saw "Sleepwalking Zhu Xian".He suddenly discovered that the imagination of the Chinese people is much better than a lot of talented editors in Hollywood.Although, their acting is not so good.However, relying on the outstanding creativity and the magnificent scene, all the lack of actors was made up at once.

Just as he saw this script yesterday, he knew that it was another epoch-making movie.Yes, genius editor Green, he thinks so.This one, in his opinion, surpassed the previous series of movies, and even created a new movie genre.In this genre, it is not a kung fu movie, nor an action movie, nor a romance movie... It is a kind of memory thinking movie, which is like a detective investigating a case.However, this is much more magical than a detective case.

Green believes that this movie can completely rely on his outstanding creativity to conquer the world.If your actors perform better, maybe it is not impossible to win an Oscar.

"Oh, who cares. No matter what country the work is from, as long as it is a good work, I will take it down."

Donan started for a while, but after that, he didn't hesitate at all.

"Green, thank you, thank you for giving me this information today."

After finishing speaking, Donan called the secretary over.At this time, Green smiled slightly and left the office.He knew that Dornan was about to start the filming plan of the play.

And this script is the "source code" published by Chen Jiayi on Renren.com.

……

"Hello, I'm Stanley Donen..."

Early in the morning, Chen Jiayi received a call.

"Stanley, Donan?"

who?Chen Jiayi was in a daze, how could he know who this "Duo Nan" was.

"Excuse me, are you Mr. Chen Jiayi?"

"Yes."

"Great, sorry to bother you, I know, maybe, it's early morning in your place. However, I can't wait."

There was a good laugh from the other party, "I'm a director in Hollywood, I don't know, have you ever seen a movie directed by me before?"

"No."

Chen Jiayi is not familiar with Hollywood, even if he knows a few blockbuster movies, he doesn't know any big directors.

"Um, it's okay if I don't know."

The other party stiffened for a moment, but soon eased over.

Then, he made a joke, "There are still many people in the world who don't know me."

"Ha ha……"

Hearing this joke, Chen Jiayi became interested in this director.At least, the director's image of Chen Jiayi is very good.It doesn't have the temper of a big Hollywood director, and it always gives people a spring breeze, which feels good.

"It's like this. We have seen your masterpiece on Renren.com, and we think it is very good. We want to buy the movie copyright of the source code. What do you think..."

"So soon, have you considered it?"

In fact, Chen Jiayi didn't ask Donan, but he hadn't thought about it yet.

Although after the director reported himself, Chen Jiayi had already guessed that the director just wanted to buy his script.However, only two days after his script was sent to "RenRen", Hollywood directors have already rushed over.This surprised Chen Jiayi, how could it be so fast.However, think about it, an excellent script, he will definitely attract the attention of others.Not to mention, on a global "Renren" community platform, it was almost Chen Jiayi who published this work on Renren, and it spread to the United States in a few hours.

"Yes, we think that the source code is a very good work. Especially the last 8 minutes of creativity, it is simply too classic. We are fully confident that we will shoot one after another in 8 minutes."

Donen is very confident. Given his level of directing films for many years, he is confident that he will make this source code well.Moreover, he also saw the shock that this source code brought to the film world.It is possible that as long as the source code is released, another movie genre will be formed in the world. This genre is called thinking movie stream.And he is the patriarch of the sect.

This is what any director will be moved by.

Therefore, after "Donan" heard "Green"'s suggestion, he contacted Chen Jiayi immediately.Because, he was afraid that he would be one step too late, and some other directors in Hollywood would have to get there first.Yes, on the big stage of Hollywood, it has cultivated a large number of world-renowned directors, and their vision is not under "Donan".

"let me consider it."

Chen Jiayi did not agree so quickly.The reason is that he still has a glimmer of hope.This hope is to film the source code in China.However, he also knows that Chinese film techniques are really not good enough.

"Mr Chen, Hollywood is the best movie stage in the world, he can make movies that the world is crazy about. If you have any requirements, please feel free to say so."

Donan wants to further persuade Chen Jiayi.Although Chen Jiayi did not refuse, he was afraid that the night would have long dreams.Especially, if he put down the phone, it is estimated that another director, he might contact Chen Jiayi.

"Yeah, Hollywood is really a nice stage."

Chen Jia nodded.

This is also where he has always been contradictory. He wants to develop the Chinese film industry.No, this task is too big and big.He just wanted to spread Chinese culture, but he didn't want the "source code" to be ruined by the domestic film industry.Although Tsui Hark can be regarded as a good director, he is not bad in making blockbuster martial arts movies.But it is probably not possible to let him direct the source code.Especially the performance strength of domestic actors made Chen Jiayi very depressed.Compared with some famous actors in Europe and America, even some of the most outstanding actors in China seem to have no comparison.

"Tell me, how is this source code filmed in China?"

At this moment, Chen Jiayi asked about Donan.

He wanted to hear the opinion of this great Hollywood director.Although, he knew, "Donan" would certainly deny it.

"China?"

"What kind of movies can China make?"

Unnaturally, Donan said such a sentence.However, soon, Donan realized that he had made a mistake, so he quickly changed his words and said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Chen, I didn't mean that, you should understand what I said."

"It's okay, I just want to hear your opinion."

It is not a matter of a day or two that Chinese movies are not popular. Although under the influence of Shushan Biography and Sleepwalking Zhuxian, Chinese movies have gained a certain reputation in the international film circle.However, many well-known directors still believe that the performance of Chinese actors is really too bad.Even in Legend of Shushan and Zhu Xian in Dreamwalking, the performances of other actors are not very good.

"In recent years, I have seen the rise of Chinese movies. Yes, your Chinese movies are very good. Especially in terms of visual effects, we Hollywood should learn from Chinese movies. But, I think. "Source Code" A script, he is not a work with a big scene, on the contrary, he is still a small production movie. And in this "source code", every 8 minutes is not for outstanding acting skills. Otherwise, even this The creative filming may not cause much reaction. According to what I know so far, I think China is not very strong in the performance of actors..."

"Thank you, thank you for giving a pertinent opinion, I will consider it."

This Annan is not bad, what he said is very pertinent.

"Okay, my friend, I hope you can make a sensible decision."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Jiayi kept thinking.Whether the source code should be filmed in China, or let it be filmed in Hollywood.The pros and cons of both sides, in fact, Chen Jiayi has already thought about it, but for the time being, he can't make this decision.

Thinking of this, Chen Jiayi decided to give Tsui Hark a call.

"Good morning, Director Xu."

"What a ghost, I have been working for more than an hour."

The filming plan of Zhu Xian is Tsui Hark's top priority.Moreover, the performance of the previous "Sleepwalking Zhu Xian" was too impressive.Now this Jade Immortal has put a lot of pressure on Tsui Hark.Therefore, recently, Tsui Hark has been studying how to make a good film of Zhu Xian.

"It's hard work, hard work."

Chen Jiayi also felt that besides Tsui Hark's movies, there was a lot of busy work.

"Why, Mr. Chen, I won't have nothing to entertain me today."

"Haha, how dare you."

Chen Jia laughed, but he also had something serious to tell Tsui Hark, "Director Xu, have you paid attention to a script I wrote recently, the source code..."

"Good boy, if you don't mention the source code, I would like to tell you about it when I have time. How did you come up with this script? Even after I read it, my heart is moved."

Speaking of the source code, Tsui Hark also became excited.

"That's right, then I'll hand over the source code to you and finish the filming."

Chen Jia said jokingly.

"Give it to me to shoot?"

Tsui Hark was overjoyed at the beginning, and after 5 minutes passed, Tsui Hark replied, "This, I'm afraid it won't work."

"Then shoot after Zhu Xian."

Chen Jiayi continued.

"It's not a matter of schedule."

Tsui Hark shook his head and said, "I may have some experience in making purely Chinese-style martial arts films. However, I'm afraid I can't do anything to shoot real cities that require particularly high acting skills."

Tsui Hark didn't really understand his strengths and weaknesses until after the Legend of Shushan.

Speaking of which, Tsui Hark's movie life is really like this.

For purely Chinese-style martial arts blockbusters, this kind of freehand style completely captures Chinese culture, and Tsui Hark played it to the fullest.However, Tsui Hark can do nothing when he encounters a purely acting film like Modern City.In fact, Tsui Hark in the later period also made more literary films.However, no effect was achieved.

"Oh, then Director Xu helped me with a domestic director."

Chen Jiayi had no choice but to ask this expert.

"……this."

Speaking of this, Tsui Hark became silent again.

"how?"

"Are you telling the truth?"

"of course."

"I think it may not work in China. Why don't you try it in Hollywood. I think such a script will definitely attract those top Hollywood directors. Really, I can guarantee it. Even, I can give your script to you." them."

"So that's the case."

Chen Jia nodded, she understood.

"This morning, Hollywood director Annan contacted me, intending to buy the film copyright of the source code, but I have not agreed yet."

"Annan is a great director in Hollywood, and he is quite capable. Mr. Chen, you can think about it."

Tsui Hark suggested to Chen Jiayi based on his professional ethics.
