Mark Gordon looked up at the confident but polite Lance. He stood at the desk, not taking the initiative to extend his right hand to greet him, nor did he sit down directly over the master, but straightened his back and stood there calmly, smiling, and his clear eyebrows seemed calm.

The first impression is illuminating.

However, Mark did not intend to talk too much. He did not like men and naturally had no interest in Lance. He was not a philanthropist and was not interested in sponsoring independent film companies. "I know your purpose, but I don't think we have to talk about it. The director and screenwriter of the 'day acquired' have already confirmed it, and we have made the decision on the cooperative production company. Therefore, there is no need to discuss this project and it is no longer at the negotiating table."

Mark did not give Lance a chance at all. He directly attacked hard at the beginning, and even saved the opportunity to expel people. Obviously, in Mark's eyes, this emerging director who has gained a lot of attention by relying on "City of God" has little value to say.

"If everything has been confirmed, then I don't know what the purpose of today's meeting is." Lance's counterattack was prompt and fast, and the wall hit the wall directly without any reaction time, which made Mark pause for half a second, giving Lance a gap to continue speaking. "I tried to make an appointment for this meeting for five times, and finally I appeared here. I think the reason is not just that you want to reject me in person."

This is Twentieth Century Fox, one of the eight major Hollywood film companies. If they really want to turn down an independent film producer like Lance, Lance doesn't even have the chance to enter the door.

Mark raised his fingers under the table and his heart slightly fluctuated, but his expression still did not react at all. When he was about to mock Lance's "arrogance", Lance continued to say, "What if I say, I have a way to perfect the script of the 'acquired day' and let everyone reach an agreement?"

After saying this, Lance paused clearly and waited for Mark's response. Not only Lance and Mark, but the whole Hollywood knew that Roland Emmerich was best at scene scheduling, not script writing. Even "Independence Day" with a box office win, the script was far from perfect.

But, as Lance said before, the most important thing about the popcorn commercial blockbuster film of audio-visual feast is not the script, but the rhythm. Therefore, Roland has also become Hollywood's best director at shooting disaster movies - if "Titanic" is not a disaster movie.

But no one can deny the importance of the script. This is the backbone of a work. Even Steven Spielberg and James Cameron cannot deny it. The "Star Wars" is famous in history, the script composed of its imaginative imagination and magnificent and complete background settings have made great contributions.

The script of a disaster movie can almost be said to have no main line, because the main line is disaster, destruction and chaos after the disaster comes. This also puts forward higher requirements for the script of a disaster work, how to show the scene, how to cooperate with the scheduling, how to set the plot, and most importantly, how to set the core idea, so that the disaster movie is not just a blast, blast, and then blasting like "Transformers".

"Are young people so arrogant nowadays?" Mark's eyebrows stood up, a hint of impatientness revealed in his eyes, and he said angrily, "I have said that this proposal is no longer on the negotiating table. You haven't understood it yet? Who do you think you are? You can be better than the script written by Roland? It's ridiculous and ridiculous."

Mark had almost no reservations, except for not directly swearing, and his tone was even more harsh. But Lance seemed to have not heard it, just listened with a smile, waiting quietly for Mark to finish his words, but at the end, he didn't hear Mark say "get out" or let the security guard come in and chase people.

"Arrogance never distinguishes age." Lance said softly and hard, making Mark look at Lance incredible. Obviously, he didn't expect that Lance would come back with such a hint and explicit irony. Such a bold move was really unusual.

However, Lance ignored Mark's actions, opened his handbag on his own, and then took out the information from it. It was still a book-sized cardboard, and it was printed out as a slide. The first page of the paper had the words "Ice Age" written on it, which was simple and clear. "As a disaster film, the main line is undoubtedly the simplest." The assumption at this time was that Lance had not read the "acquired" script, so he needed to explain from the beginning, "After global warming, the ice shells of the Antarctic and Arctic melted, which caused a sudden change in ocean currents, and the earth entered the Ice Age within one day."

One day? When Mark heard this word, his brows couldn't help but frowned slightly. This idea was far bolder than Roland.

"But the question is how people will deal with disasters. When my personal thoughts are, it triggers the ice crust of the Arctic melting and the entire northern hemisphere enters ice, so people have to go all the way south, which triggers two branches. The first branch is that people migrating south encounter obstacles, such as Mexico refuses the entry of Americans..."

When Lance said this, Mark blurted out "absurdity", which made Lance pause slightly. Immigration illegally smuggled in Mexico has always been one of the biggest troubles of the United States, but now Lance is going the other way, full of a strong black irony. This plot was actually from the "day acquired" of the previous life, which left a deep impression on Lance. However, Lance did not expect that Roland had not thought of this time.

However, Lance did not pause because of Mark's words, and then said, "For example, Africa refuses the entry of Europeans." This is Lance's own idea. One of the biggest regrets of the "day-absence" script is that the disaster covering the entire northern hemisphere is only concentrated in the United States. Japan and India have only flashed two shots. The globalization setting can make the scene more grand, and at the same time make the overseas market more resonant.

"The second branch line is the people who cross the United States along the snow line. This includes two parts of people. Some of them are eager to survive but not too late to rush to the south. They eventually freeze to death on the road," the light but decisive tone made Mark's eyes flash slightly. Roland also mentioned this part, but it was obviously not as clear as Lance. This branch line is also the core of the debate in the script recently. "The other part is the people who take the initiative to die, in other words, the troops to save their loved ones."

Mark supported his chin and fell into deep thought. The setting of this branch line, Lance, was very similar to that of Roland, but seemed to be very different.

"In my opinion, we can set some of the children trapped in New York, and then their parents form a team to cross the United States just to save their children. This team can accommodate about seven or eight people, but during the crossing process, they encounter continuous snowstorms, one after another falling behind."

Within a few words, the tension and intensity of the plot came to my face: on the vast snowy field, a group of people were trekking for a long distance, just to be able to reunite with their relatives. On the road, they passed through cities and saw that the landmark buildings of each city were buried in the thick snow, vast and magnificent, tragic and tragic.

"At the same time, these children are trapped in New York, and they also need to try to survive. I think it is possible to arrange for children to mix with people of different races, Asian, African, Hispanic, people from different classes, different professions and cultures to gather together, just like Noah's Ark."

This idea made Mark subconsciously pursed his lips, which was also a part they had never expected before, but it could definitely become the highlight of "political correctness".

"Under these two branches, the negotiations between politicians, the help of the state in the face of disasters, the confrontation between scientists and politicians, the relationship between parents and children, the relationship between children, the relationship between people trapped in the same place, the relationship between the expedition team that was trying to reunite with their families for a long distance... These can be polished in detail."

Lance did not explain in depth, but just showed a piece of cardboard with various character settings written on it, and then intertwined them with clues, which looked dazzling. In fact, the relationship between these characters and the relationship between power and power can be thoroughly deepened and become the highlight of the film's ironic reality. Without the need to add extra plots, the theme of the film is deeper.

After pulling out the jam, the special effects part was about. Lance drew some renderings of the special effects himself, but Lance looked down and saw the jam. He raised his head and smiled at Mark. "As for this part, I think Mr. Emmerich must be better than me, so I won't show off."

The subtext is to say that he is obviously better in the script part.

Mark couldn't help but sneer, "Arrogance and arrogance make people so ignorant."

Lance raised his eyebrows, "The same is true for self-centering." This was ridiculing Mark's tough attitude. Mark's face suddenly dropped, and he didn't look like he listened carefully just now. Mark snorted coldly, "I said that all the steps of this movie have been finalized, and I just waited for filming. You are just in vain."

Lance didn't care at all, and slowly put all the information into the briefcase. "If you don't try it, you won't know the result. I am such a person. As for the trial..." Lance shrugged with a chuckling, "Who knows?"

"I can tell you the answer. Failure is still failure!" Mark rolled his eyes and said mercilessly, "If you have tried it, then you can leave now. I don't want to waste more time for you."

"Fair enough." After Lance packed up the things, he didn't stop at all. He turned around and left quickly, "I hope he will have a chance to meet next time."
