The Greatest Showman

The focus of attention was originally on Tim, but after the topic of "Frank Marshall" changed, all eyes were instantly on Renly.

After the end of the "Pacific War", Renly and Steven seem to have never met again, but there have been rumors in the industry that the two producers, Steven Spielberg and Tom Hanks, do not praise Renly. Absolutely, "Buried Alive" can win Oscar nominations, and Steven and Tom have contributed greatly.

However, rumors are only rumors after all. In public at least, Renly appears to have severed all ties to the two top figures in the industry. Today, Frank's words are relayed through Tim, and all the threads are connected again. Not only Paul, but even Lucinda was impressed.

"Huh, I guess I should say something at this time." Renly pursed the corners of his mouth, and the relaxed and freehand tone made everyone smile, "I'm not quite sure what Frank meant, because I didn't hear it live. So, I should either be thankful now or be responsible for thinking of a whole new movie title. Since Frank isn't on set, I'll automatically choose the latter."

Those witty and humorous words were full of self-deprecation, but there was a dazzling confidence between the eyebrows, and the atmosphere suddenly became relaxed, and everyone couldn't help but chuckle.

Regarding Frank's topic, Renly heard it for the first time today. I'm not sure what happened, whether it was Andy who pushed it behind the scenes, or whether it was Jeff who contacted Steven, or whether Frank browsed the blacklist. Interested in the project after that? But one thing is for sure, Frank is leading the lineup of producers, which is good for Killing Reincarnation.

In the last life, Tom Cruise was the only master of the "Edge of Tomorrow" crew. There is no room for two tigers. Naturally, there is a lack of big names in the producer list; Such a top producer sits in the town, which is a good thing and no harm.

Renly's eyes fell on everyone, "Do you have any special thoughts?" Subconsciously, Renly looked at Derek, because he was the author of the first version of the script, "The original novel is more serious and profound. style, discussing the reincarnation and fate of oriental culture; but now our script is lighter and even has some dark humor. Indeed, the name 'Killing Samsara' is still too heavy and too cruel."

Derek didn't have much thought, frowned and shook his head; Paul, who was sitting next to him, took the initiative to express his opinion, "I think we need to determine the ideological core of the whole work first. The core of the original novel is reincarnation, And what about the heart of our film? It's the first step in clearing the mind."

This is the first meeting between Renly and Paul, but Renly likes Paul's style very much, the style of a journalist, accurate and sharp, based on the big picture, and then starts from the details, and sees the big from the small. This kind of conversation The way of communication seems to have returned to that distant university period.

"The current script has a good story, a good rhythm, and a good idea. But, it's too Hollywood." Paul's tone of speech is very plain, not too exaggerated, not too restrained, down-to-earth and straightforward, rather than Rather than "blaming" Derek's script, it's more about exploring, "This can be an excellent commercial film on the assembly line, but I don't see the qualifications for him to become the third blacklist."

Derek was the one who was "attacked", but he didn't care, he touched his bald head, with a simple and honest smile on his rosy cheeks, "I actually thought about this when writing the script. But, to be honest, I know too little about the reincarnation of Eastern culture, and I can't write anything, but it will slow down the rhythm, so I just cancel it all."

"That's why the script can be blacklisted." Tim expressed his opinion next to him and expressed his support for Derek's work. "Because it's a commercial screenplay that's brilliantly creative, has a smooth story, and is different."

"I didn't see the different parts." Paul said bluntly, shaking his head and denying it, "I don't see any depth in this version of the script. It's just a smooth single-player game story with a framework. , has content, but no soul."

"Reincarnation is actually not difficult to understand." Seeing Paul and Tim coming and going, Renly interrupted directly and returned to the subject, "It's the meaning of time. On 'Groundhog Day' In the script, the screenwriter first makes time meaningless, because every day repeats, no matter how hard you try, it is the same; then re-imagines time. Reincarnation can also be understood in this way.”

Renly pondered for a moment. If he wanted to explain reincarnation in Buddhist literature, it was obviously a huge and profound topic, and even Renly himself could not be said to have a deep understanding. Therefore, he intends to express it in a simpler and more popular way, "Reincarnation can be simply understood as a causal cycle, a kind action may bring positive effects; a wrong decision may be punished. In the movie, Kai Qi is suffering from the effects of the killing cycle."

"You mean, every killing has a different impact on Cage?" Billy spoke for the first time, his voice was hoarse, like a crow. After Li replied affirmatively, Billy shook his head firmly, "It's impossible, we're shooting a movie, not a novel, we can't write the impact of every killing, that will lead to The script is too trivial, and the plot is too heavy. Most importantly, the commercial popcorn properties are gone.”

"I think this

not a problem. As long as after each killing, leave one shot or several sets of shots, or switch to different methods of death, the different pictures that he saw before his death bring out the changes in Cage's heart. It was Paul who spoke, and his thoughts switched to director mode again. "I believe this is enough. For Renly, he is enough to express the emotional changes of the characters without dragging down the rhythm of the film. "

This is a compliment and trust to Renly, but this is not a good time to tout each other, Renly cut to the topic directly, "No, that's not what I meant." Renly sorted out his thoughts, "Cage was originally a What kind of character? Selfish, greedy for life and fear of death, cunning and treacherous, and eloquent, he is the kind of typical salesperson, but this time, what he sells is war and victory. In his heart, he is high above look at the war with scrutiny..."

"Oh?" Paul exuded a happy voice, and immediately connected Cage with the senior officials of the White House from these simple words. The keen touch of news is indeed different, and this difference is also projected on him. in each of the works.

Renly couldn't help laughing, and glanced at Paul, "Commercial movies, we are making commercial movies now." The two people's eyes exchanged a tacit look that only they could understand each other, and before the others could react, Renly He went on to say, "But in this cycle of killing again and again, he began to learn to take responsibility, he began to learn to empathize, he began to cherish the friendship of his comrades in arms, he began to understand the cruelty of war, and he also began to understand that in human beings In the face of life and death, all interests are meaningless."

Both Derek and Billy showed contemplative expressions, and Billy took out a notebook from nowhere and began to quickly record something.

"During this process, he began to grow. From the very beginning of running away, to facing it bravely; in the face of death after death, he endured great pain, so he decided to go it alone. Not because he wanted to Become a hero, but because he can't bear to see his comrades die again and again, and because he finally tries to bear the weight of the war on his own shoulders. However, he still fails. At last he understands that this is not a The burden of man is the burden of all soldiers who came together not to be heroes, but to protect their beloved family and last home."

Derek suddenly stood up excitedly, "This can be echoed at the beginning of the story, the other members of the j team, why did they participate in the war? Why do they hate Cage as a deserter so much? It's not because Cage is greedy and afraid. Death, but because Cage took this war as a reason for the game to have no fighting, no meaning of survival, and naturally lost the color of life."

Facing the excitement of Renly and Derek, Billy shook his head, "You know what this means? It means that we need to write the characters specifically, and make the characters become as they are without slowing down the whole script. To be full, and more importantly, to establish a connection between other characters and Cage. This is easy to say, but it is extremely difficult to operate. The heroine Rita is easy to say, the love line is pulled, two conversations, two times of suffering, That's enough. But what about the other characters? Jesus Christ, we don't have that much room."

"Renly means that the core thread of the whole story is the growth and transformation of Cage, and the core meaning is that in each killing process, different characters die in different forms in front of Cage, again and again, which makes Cage There was a wonderful connection between Qi and them. The epiphany was completed at the end."

It was Paul who was talking, and his eyes brightened, staring at Renly, gushing, and the inspiration in his mind bursting out, this feeling is really amazing.

"Actually, this is the same as 'Groundhog Day'. Every time the time is reset, every reincarnation experience, the protagonist is going through the test. For others, they are just repeating the same day, but For the protagonist, he has gone through thousands of times of life and death. The contrast between the protagonist and the supporting role does not require writing and ink at all, and naturally reflects the core of the film: the meaning of war , the meaning of death, the meaning of life. Is that so?"
