There were only five people in the spacious conference room, Matthew, Helen Herman and Chris Kyle, sitting on the side, looking at the not-so-thick script, Clint Eastwood, who led the script writing, and Jason Dean Hall, who was the writer, waited patiently.

Matthew quickly browsed the script, and compared and confirmed it with the content of the original work of "American Sniper".

The script is still very hard, just like the original, without too much reflection and regret, but Clint Eastwood still removes some of the overly sensitive things in the original.

Of course, the setting of the male protagonist is very similar to that of Chris Kyle in reality, and the recognition is also very high, making people know at a glance that this is a tough Texas guy.

As the second largest state in the United States in Alaska, Texas is vast and sparsely populated. Therefore, the Kyle family has its own deer hunting ground. It is here that when Kyle was seven or eight years old, he owned his own hunting rifle and hunted various animals including turkeys, pigeons, quails, and wild deer.

Then there is the rumored training of special forces.

According to the descriptions in general literary works or movies, these devil training must be full of secrets that are not passed down. The trained soldier king can handle dozens or hundreds of people alone.

But Chris Kyle's description, no matter how outstanding the soldiers are, they cannot withstand the siege of more than a dozen people who have received basic military training.

For example, snipers like him are relatively poor in fighting with bare hands.

Clint Eastwood's script completely inherits the description of Chris Kyle in his autobiography. The so-called secret of non-transmitting or training of thousands of enemies does not exist.

Regarding the "Devil Training" of the "Naval Seals" in the early stage, it was rumored to be magical in many film and television works, but both of them were Chris Kyle and Clint Eastwood, they all took an understatement of them. While push-ups, they were shot by the instructor's high-pressure water gun, and took an inflatable rubber boat to sea and then swam back to the coast, lying on the cold beach to endure the baptism of sea water. These trainings may be difficult to experience in person, but they are not beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

In addition, the script adopts flashbacks and interludes to a certain extent.

However, Matthew had communicated with Clint Eastwood before, and the narrative of the script was simple and clear enough to ensure that the film could be easily understood.

This is not a video showing off narrative techniques.

To be honest, Clint Eastwood is not the kind of director who likes to be mysterious in Hollywood. The films he makes are like his old cowboy-like personality, and he pays more attention to being straightforward.

Otherwise, Matthew wouldn't have asked him to be the director.

At the end of the script, if not in the original work, it should be the inner monologue of the male protagonist specially added by Clint Eastwood.

This monologue is very tough and has the style of a Texas cowboy.

"The people in this world are divided into three types: sheep, hungry wolf and sheepdog. Some people naively think that there is no devil in the world, and when hatred comes to their doorsteps, they are sheep. The opposing existence is a predator who uses violence. These people believe in the prey of the weak, and they are like hungry wolf, preying on the weak. In addition, there are some people who are kind by nature but are given the talent for hunting. They protect the flock. This small number of people are born to face the threat of jackals, that is, sheepdogs. My family does not take sheep in my house. If anyone wants to be hungry wolf, I will definitely not allow it. We protect our family."

Matthew closed the script, but did not speak, and waited patiently for Chris Kyle to finish reading the script.

"Can you tell me what I think?" Chris Kyle came over today, so as not to point fingers at the script inconspicuous way. However, he still had some objections to a major plot of the script and immediately said, "The terrorist I sniped from a very long distance is not what the script described. We don't know his past, and we even know that his name is Mustafa."

Clint Eastwood glanced at Chris Kyle and said, "The script should work more in line with the original work. As a sniper, you are very powerful. No one on the battlefield may have posed a real threat to you, but in the film, as a heroic male protagonist, you need to have a powerful enemy worthy of you."

Matthew echoed, "The plot of the film needs to be twisted and turns, and appropriately modifying your enemies can make the plot of the film more attractive."

In the script, a terrifying sniper who works hard for the opposition is fictional. Chris: Kyle's main opponent is a sniper named Mustafa in the film.

Mustafa was mentioned in a passage in the original book "American Sniper", but the script portrayed him as the medalist for the Syrian Olympics, a man who worked for Fallujah's Sunni rebels and Shiite Machi's army.

These are all for the plot needs.

It is not new to Hollywood movies adapted under the banner of real events, but adding materials to the plot and characters. Everything is for the attractiveness of the movie after it is completed.

After all, for Hollywood, movies are a business.

Chris Kyle still trusted Matthew very much. Seeing that he said this, he didn't express any further opinions. The main plot of the script was decided, and some details can be modified slowly in the future.

Of course, like all Hollywood biographies or autobiography videos, Chris Kyle in the script is just very similar to Chris Kyle in reality.

Few people who have watched more movies will think that the characters in Hollywood autobiography are what they look like in reality.

Movies, especially autobiographical movies, can only express one aspect of the character.

Just talking about Chris Kyle, the reason why he was mixed with Matthew was not only Texans, but to some extent, the two had many similarities.

Once, Matthew said that he would donate all the profits of "Fast and Furious 4" for charity, and he did do the same, but the profits on the accounts were really limited.

After the publication of the book "American Sniper", Chris Kyle said similar things to donate all the profits of this autobiography to help veterans charity.

Then he found Matthew and asked if there was a suitable way to deal with it. Matthew recommended him to PricewaterhouseCoopers.

With reasonable and legal evasion, Chris Kyle has only donated $52 so far and has collected the remaining $30,000 into his pocket.

Matthew has been with him for a while. This American soldier may not have enough social experience, but he has a bit of his style. He can find a very open reason and excuse when doing anything.

For example, when he deals with Harvey Weinstein, he gave himself a reason, which was to save the female compatriots in Hollywood from the shadow of the demons.

To make yourself motivated, you not only need to have enough desires, but also have a strong goal.

Regardless of whether this purpose is correct or not, as long as you think it is great enough, the whole person will be full of fighting spirit.

Chris Kyle is like him, better at these things.

Whether it is the autobiographical description or the usual remarks, Chris Kyle retired by claiming to save his marriage and return to his family.

Many Navy SEALs have been deployed overseas for a long time, dealing with high-intensity battles every day, witnessing comrades being injured, killed, or even injured themselves. Over time, it will have a great psychological impact on anyone.

In addition, due to long-term deployment overseas, the divorce rate of Navy SEALs is as high as 80% to 90%, which is reasonable for him to choose to retire for his family.

And it does take the dominant factor in this regard.

But another noteworthy detail is that his contract with the US Navy had expired at this time, and although he was born and died on the Iraq battlefield, he could only be promoted to platoon leader. The huge psychological gap will inevitably make this veteran want to retreat.

Matthew was not very clear about the situation in Texas, but after coming to Los Angeles, Matthew had contact with Chris Keldo. After returning home, Kel did experience the discomfort with the peaceful environment, but it was far less serious. In fact, like many veterans who participated in the Iraq War, he turned around and devoted himself to the business of forming a private defense contractor (another way to write mercenaries) company, and opened the company with Matthew and Neborah.

Then, publishing personal autobiography and participating in various reality TV shows is part of its business activities.

Chris Kyle took the lead in leaving. Helen Hull, who had been silent, did not make any suggestions. Matthew did not leave and continued to communicate with Clint Eastwood about the film itself.

Neither of them has taken the Iraqi battlefield. In addition to Chris Kyle, they will also hire several former SEALs who have fought in Iraq as interim advisers.

Matthew heard Brown Williams talk about many situations in Iraq and knew that the battlefield was much crueler than expected.

In Iraq, using mobile phones near the U.S. military is dangerous, and users are often targeted by U.S. snipers, because they are often considered anti-American armed personnel who attempt to detonate suicide bullets with their phones.

In addition, passers-by who walk on highways where the US military often patrolled with tools such as shovels often die under the guns of US snipers because the tools in their hands are suspected to be used to bury suicide bullets on the roadside, and they may be just farmers or construction workers.

Chris Kyle himself admitted this.

As for whether he was a wronged soul under his gun, he couldn't even tell him clearly.

Matthew is not a saint, and he is not so stupid as to speak from an Iraqi standpoint in the movie, and the Iraqis will not buy it for his movie.

As a movie with high investment, we must first please North American audiences.
