Heads Up Hollywood

Chapter 31 The Screenplay

The sunglasses system brought Tang En great benefits.

For example, Glenn Fierro, project evaluation 94, casting 97, in terms of the values ​​of these two producers, it is enough to kill all Hollywood gold medal producers in seconds!

However, production: 0.

It turned out to be an idiot who didn't even have the slightest production ability. How could such a person get a position as a producer or production assistant in Hollywood?

What an idiot!

But Twain is different. He can appoint Glenn Fierro as a production assistant, as long as he borrows his two super high-value abilities of "project evaluation" and "casting".

After spending an entire afternoon, Tang En finally sorted out his royal team——

Production Assistants: Morgan Carey, Glenn Fierro, Erin Kelly

Assistant Directors: David Knight, Abel Smith, Andy Thompson

Market Analyst: Andrew O'Hare

Art Analyst: Manola Daggis

Writers: Deacon Whistler, Bryce Roach, Nia Vardalos

Photography: Alice More, Vincent Burton

light……

Tang En recorded 42 names on paper.

Of course, this is by no means the entire crew. They are just Tang En's core team. Once a big movie is shot, additional temporary crew members need to be recruited to expand the crew to one or two hundred people.

And these 42 candidates carefully selected by Tang En will definitely accompany him to reach the pinnacle of life in their respective positions.

Tang En called George Paxton and handed over the paper, "Contact these 42 people immediately. If they are out of town, travel expenses will be reimbursed, and invitations will be issued in the name of Dunn Films and me, just say... Dunn Walker invites them Come to Hollywood and create brilliance!"

...

Tang En's candidates are all low-level people who live in poverty. If they have the opportunity to work in Tang En Pictures, which is now well-known, they can come to Hollywood to pursue their dreams. Who would refuse?

Three days later, all 42 people were in place, and none of them was absent!

After delivering an energetic speech, everyone officially became a member of Tang En Pictures.

Tang En called market analyst Andrew O'Hare, art analyst Manola Daggis and the three screenwriters to his office.

These five people will become Tang En's most core team in the film industry in the future.

Deacon Whistler is good at writing action, war, and historical dramas; Bryce Roach is good at science fiction, mystery, and reasoning stories; Nia Vardalos is a woman who is good at family, ethics, comedy, and female-oriented stories. work.

Three screenwriters learn from each other to write stories, and two analysts find faults to create an excellent script.

Twain now needs to seize the time to come up with a project, complete the filming, and release it next year to compete with "Blade Warrior".

The investment in this project can't be too high, but it needs to have a wide audience, a good box office, and complete the crushing of "Blade Warrior". Tang En naturally thought of the classic comedy "The Hangover".

"I'll make a long story short. The company now needs to make a movie as soon as possible and release it next year. So now we need to establish a project and write a script as soon as possible..."

Before Tang En finished speaking, Bryce Roach interrupted him, "Boss, since you are in a hurry, why do you want to make up a new story? It will take at least two or three months to write a successful story, right?"

"Huh?" Tang En frowned, "What do you mean?"

Bryce Roach said: "Use ready-made ones, we have all registered with the Screenwriters Union."

Tang En came to his senses and blinked his eyes, "You mean... you have all registered scripts with the Screenwriters Union?"

"yes."

All three screenwriters nodded.

Tang En sighed inwardly. These three screenwriters have superb story writing ability, but their market vision is really bad. Can they write good stories without the help of market analysts?

Tang En didn't believe it, but it was the first meeting after all, so it was hard to discourage their enthusiasm, "Okay, tell me, what scripts have you all written?"

Bryce Roach laughed: "I wrote a detective script "Black Inspector"..."

"No!" Andrew O'Hare immediately interrupted, "It's not the 1950s or 1960s. This traditional type of detective film has no box office market."

Bryce Roach's face changed, a little annoyed.

Tang En immediately said sternly: "Andrew is the market analyst I accept my fate, and is currently the highest authority in the analysis of the company's film market. If he says no, he will definitely not do it!"

Andrew O'Hare smiled slightly, and gave Tang En a grateful look, while Bryce Roach grinned sheepishly and said nothing more.

Deacon Whistler, who has a screenwriting ability of 99, stutters, "I... I won't... I won't say much, this...here is the script."

Tang En took over the script, and on the cover page was written "Blood Remnant", a very tragic name.

Except for Deacon Whistler, the others gathered around and read the script.

The script is a concise version, with a total of more than 20 pages. Tang En flipped through it for more than half an hour, and then let out a long sigh.

It really is a good story!

This script tells the story of an American veteran.

He was a hero of the Gulf War. He was shot in the leg and had his right leg amputated. After being commended by the Congress, he returned to his hometown town and was warmly welcomed by the people in the town.

He's a hero, he's the pride of the town!

However, he has only one leg, and he is a slope.

No job wants to use a handicapped man with blood on his hands who kills countless times, whose kids are scorned and bullied at school, teased that his father is a cripple.

He wanted to attend his old classmate's wedding, but was turned away because the old classmate's family didn't want the blood on his body to affect the happiness of the newlyweds.

He was originally a war hero who defended his family and the country, but he suffered all kinds of discrimination and indifference. He was disheartened and mournful.

However, something happened that made him even more heartbroken. He found out that his beloved wife had cheated...

He was angry, he picked up a shotgun, killed the adulterer, and wanted to destroy the body, but was discovered by the neighbor. In desperation, he killed his neighbor's family. However, more people discovered his crime.

kill!

He set off killings throughout the town.

In the end, he looked at the sad eyes of the child and chose to commit suicide...

"The story is very good." Art analyst Manola Daggis nodded appreciatively, "If you modify a few places to make the anti-war theme deeper and the reflection on human nature more sharp, you can go to Europe to win the highest award at the film festival. .Choose a suitable actor and hope to be nominated for an Oscar for Best Actor.”

Tang En frowned slightly. What he needs now is not to win prizes, but box office! His eyes looked at Andrew O'Hare unconsciously.

This script definitely wasn't made into a movie in his previous life, and Tang En wasn't sure about the specific market prospects.

Andrew O'Hare pondered for a while, then shook his head and said: "This is not in line with American values. Movie fans don't like this subject matter, nor do they like the overly complicated human twist. Even if it is made into a wonderful action movie, the North American box office must be poor. Overseas The box office can be expected."

Deacon Whistler looked unwilling, "I...I can...repair...modify..."

Tang En waved his hand, "There is a problem with the subject matter of this script, so there is no need to get too entangled. Nia, what about you?"

Nia Vardalos is in her thirties, has big eyes, and is an extra. She has been playing tricks in various production crews, and created a script in her spare time.

Now that she has joined Tang En Pictures, she has a stable job with a good monthly salary, so she doesn't want to suffer the pain of playing tricks anymore.

"I also brought my script, Tang En, you should read it first."

Actors are also actors, and they are very good at pleasing leaders. Nia Vardalos gently placed the script in Tang En's hand, and the plump chest "unconsciously" slid across his arm.

Tang En glanced at her, and immediately saw a strange light shining in her pair of radiant eyes.

"Ahem..."

Tang En quickly covered it up. In the office, it was not easy for him to flirt with a female subordinate in front of so many subordinates. After taking the script and looking at it, his eyes froze.

My Big Fat Greek Wedding!

Looking at the face of Nia Vardalos again, Tang En felt vaguely familiar, no wonder... so she is the screenwriter and starring role of "My Big Fat Greek Wedding"!

A few years younger, it really looks more charming than in the movie...

"Huh? Did my appearance change the trajectory of her future life?"

Tang En couldn't help being a little amused.

But what is the future of being an 18-line actress? Why not be my queen screenwriter...
