"I believe you have read the information in your hands. This is the general idea," Sean continued to speak in a very sincere tone, "I admit that it is very complete,

But overall it seems a bit too cliché."

It's not just cliché, it's just trash. Harvey Weinstein hummed in his heart. The young actor who was so excited that he went to Hollywood had suffered all his hardships and wanted to give up. In the end, he was discovered by a well-known old actor and became a big star.

After success and fame, the old actor began to decline, and became depressed and wanted to commit suicide; but in the end he was inspired by the young actor and became excited and starred in a movie together after hardships, both of which won praise from people.

It's simply ****! Weinstein immediately added to his heart. Such scripts are everywhere in Hollywood, and he is so embarrassed to say that it took several months to make people laugh.

It is indeed not easy to write a love letter to the Oscar, but the one in your hand is so bad that it has no value at all - well, it is not worth at all. In fact, this idea is still very operational, and all the inspirational

Movies are almost the same routine, the only difference is whether they can be filmed well.

If we want to make a great work based on the current script, we need to be at least top figures like Spielberg and Scorsese. Sean can tell them that this is obviously for him to measure it.

A script directed by a body?

Moreover, even if they agreed, the quality of the movie is very good, and the old guys in the film academy may not necessarily like it. They are willing to see the Oscars or the film industry being touted, but they will not hope to be so direct and fight with them.

Weinstein, who has been in numerous dealings, can be sure of this.

But Sean should have obviously realized it, so he would not invite so many people to come and hold a brainstorm. Unfortunately, Weinstein would not think it would have any effect. Brainstorming sounds cool, but at some point it is indeed a bit confusing.

But when some people brag about it, the taste immediately changed, as if it cures all diseases. If you encounter any difficulties, you can ask a few capable people to join them and brainstorm them.

Unfortunately, this is wrong. You should know that creating this thing requires inspiration. Everything is easy to say when inspiration comes, but if the inspiration is gone, there is nothing to do with it. If a person's chance of drawing inspiration is 1%.

, the probability of inspiration from a few people colliding together is 2%, at best, you can try it, but it is a very stupid behavior to rely entirely on it.

At this time, Sean was still doing the persuasion work: "This is indeed a difficult and troublesome job, but everyone here knows me very well, or is the best screenwriter and producer in Hollywood, so

We will inevitably produce brilliant sparks.”

I have to say that these secretly flattering words are indeed somewhat contagious. For a few seconds, Weinstein wanted to say a few words, but he finally decided to remain silent.

"I think the timeline might be pushed back," someone spoke soon. "It may not be very pleasant at the current stage, and we can't make the film, which looks like Sean's biographical movie,

So… maybe we can put the background in the 90s?”

Everyone immediately looked at this person together, and Weinstein also showed an interesting look. As a veteran producer, he didn't spend much time understanding what the other party wanted to say.

"In the 1990s, there were "Schindler's List", "Forrest Gump", "Titanic", and "American Beauty". Unlike now, there are not so many special effects, they all rely on the plot to win. Take this as

Background, if we make a fictional character and put it in it, like Forrest Gump, people will definitely be surprised." The person continued.

The audience may like stupid ideas, but the film school will definitely not. Weinstein commented in his heart.

"That's better to put it in the 1980s, which was the darkness before dawn," someone immediately stood up to refute. "As we all know, in the early 1980s, even though we had the Star Wars series, E.T and Jaws,"

The overall film industry is still in a downward state. If it were not adjusted, it might have entered a cold winter. But at the same time, countless outstanding actors and directors appeared during this period, and they laid a solid foundation for the glory of the 1990s.

We really need to incorporate a virtual character into reality, this is the best opportunity, and the old feeling is stronger."

Obviously, he caught the preference of a group of people in the film school, which was nostalgia, very nostalgia.

However, some people disagree: "If this is the case, it would be better to put the time into the fifties and sixties, which is the golden age."

"That's right, even if we know what the so-called golden age is like, in the publicity, it was an era that countless people envy. If you want to play the nostalgic card, that era is undoubtedly more suitable than the 1990s and 1980s."

Someone echoed.

Not that stupid. Weinstein commented in his heart. The method of adding virtual characters to real historical events can be used like "Forrest Gump", but it needs to be used in the entertainment industry... the same sentence,

Film Academy will not like to add real historical figures to films in this area, which is a natural avoidance mentality.

Then, the first debate began in the living room, including those who supported the 1990s and 1950s. In general, the least supported the 1990s and the most supported the 1950s. After all, nostalgia is a good brand.

, while the 1990s and 1980s were not that old.

Weinstein was still drinking beer on his own and did not join the discussion. If he only talked about the nostalgic background, he actually had a better choice in his heart, but he was too lazy to say it, but...

"Why don't you think about the 1930s?" A voice suddenly rang out, and the previous debate disappeared completely, and the people present looked at it one after another.

The person who spoke was Eric Rees. He had spoken very little before, but now he was holding his chin and thinking. After achieving good results in "Eavesdropping", he finally cheered up, and now he is on both sides of the movie and TV series.

All done well.

"We all know that the first major technological update in the film industry was in the 1930s. Yes, I'm talking about audio movies eliminating silent movies," Rees said, "This is the history of films.

The most profound change. In the past, people needed to play a band on the spot to listen to music when watching movies, and needed to fully understand what the story was telling through subtitles, but there should not be too many subtitles, which would affect the actor's performance.

With the arrival of audio movies, everything has changed.”

He paused for a while, organized the following words before continuing: "The cinema no longer needs bands, the movie no longer needs prominent subtitles listed separately, the actors' performances no longer need to be so exaggerated, their performances can be more

Near the reality. Many studios that have slower transformation have declined, and many famous actors who have become famous by silent films have begun to be out of place. Charlie Chaplin has publicly boycotted audio films. Therefore, put the male lead in this way

In an environment with strong conflict, feel the wave of audio movies replacing silent movies, feel the confusion and discomfort, but in the end, change yourself. This inspirational and old rhythm will definitely like the film school.”

After hearing this, no one here said anything, but this situation of not speaking already represents their attitude. If other factors are not taken into account, Reese's suggestions are indeed very operational.

So they quickly looked at Sean together, he was the one who made the idea, and Sean pondered for a while, then turned to his assistant: "Tell me all of this, Emma, ​​but put the 1930s as a key test.

The object."

Then he turned back: "Well, now we are on the basis of replacing silent movies in the 1930s, and how to perfect the story and make it appear more credible?"

It was just a small progress. If you could not realize where the biggest problem was, it would not do whatever era you put the background. Weinstein shrugged in slightest.

"So do we continue the original setting?" someone asked, "a story about a young actor and an older actor encouraging and helping each other?"

"Why not, isn't this a good inspirational story?" someone echoed.

"But there are two problems here," someone else was negative. "First of all, there are no important female roles, don't forget that the film school also has many veteran female members; secondly, this kind of role cannot reflect Shawn's.

Characteristics in the performance, aren’t it?”

"Then let's change one of them to a female character? But if it's an old one, it's not appropriate to change it to a female. If it's a young one, but the perspective of the story revolves around the young one, Sean may be able to complete it very well

That character, but that's at most a supporting role."

"Then let's turn the story outline and position the old actor as the protagonist, for example... the male protagonist is a big star in the silent film period, but because he failed to adapt to audio films, he was about to be eliminated by the times. Just when he was most confused,

I met a young girl who had been venturing in Hollywood. Their vitality infected him. He finally cheered up through helping each other, and they successfully got together."

"In this case, the male protagonist can't be very old, and this is once again cliché, right?"

"What should I do? Let them maintain a pure friendship. Do you think the audience is a fool?"

"Then let the male protagonist get married, then get divorced because of his career decline, so he got together with the female protagonist."

"That's worse, it's not worth encouraging to appear on the big screen, even in Hollywood."
