Go abroad to become a director and overturn Hollywood at the box office

Chapter 28 discusses the new script, completed in the late Jurassic period

David Smith hung up the phone.

Lying on the sofa at home, holding a piece of bread in one hand and checking the laptop in the other.

When I opened the mailbox, there was indeed a script document inside.

"This man is from the earth..."

"Hi~~ It sounds like a science fiction movie."

"Look at it first."

He took a bite of bread and read line by line.

"This... seems to be a sitcom, with a high density of lines."

"Moving every ten years?"

"The male protagonist is too mysterious!"

“Is this really the role for me?”

His expression gradually became serious.

The script is very long and contains long dialogues.

Ten minutes later, he was still watching.

He no longer cared about eating the bread, his face was full of shock.

"I even bought Karma!!"

"This guy actually lived for 1 years!!"

"Oh my god! The views of these professors were shattered by him."

“Does he think he’s Jesus?!”

"..."

The remaining bread in his hand fell to the ground, and his entire brain went blank for a short time.

It was as if he had suffered a critical hit of ten thousand points.

When you turn to the end, the script is not finished.

He immediately sat up from the sofa, took a deep breath, and his throat rolled.

"The story is so fascinating."

"Wow, I'm the leading actor..."

……

This is a coffee shop.

Qin Feng ordered a latte and came over early to wait.

Holding in hand the book "The Art of Film Directing".

David Smith opened the coffee shop door.

He has a regular appearance, blurred eyes, and a melancholy temperament. He is wearing dark brown clothes.

Qin Feng naturally remembered him in his mind and waved.

"Mr. Smith, here."

David Smith saw it and came over.

Nodding and asking: "Are you the director?"

This director is a bit too young.

Did he write the script?
Qin Feng put down the book, stood up, and the two shook hands.

"Yes, my name is Qin Feng, and I am the director of this film."

"That script..."

"I'll keep the rest, but we need to talk first."

"OK, all right."

The two sat down and Smith also ordered a latte.

The surroundings were quiet, and the whole environment smelled of coffee.

Qin Feng adjusted his sitting posture and tried to relax himself.

"Mr. Smith, what have you been busy with recently?"

"Oh...it's nothing, just taking some small roles."

"That's just right. Have you finished reading yesterday's script? How do you feel?"

"finish watching."

David Smith leaned forward, his eyes became hot, and he said solemnly: "I have to say, this story is great! I have never seen such a great script!"

"Director Qin, tell me, was it written by you?"

Qin Feng smiled and nodded, "Yes." "Wow! You are so awesome, how could you come up with such a great idea!"

"Thank you, so you are willing to act?"

"I want to express my gratitude. It was an honor! I haven't received a decent role for a long time!"

"You're welcome, Mr. Smith, relax."

"As you can see, this is a low-budget drama wrapped in a sci-fi guise. I can guarantee that no audience has seen a similar movie before."

"The film is cleverly thought-provoking and the actors' performances are crucial."

"It is conceivable that as long as it is released in theaters, it will have good results."

David Smith nodded repeatedly, “I very much agree with this.”

What was on his mind, "Director Qin, what stage of preparation are you at now? Have you found other roles?"

"It's just starting. You are the male lead. I haven't found other roles yet."

"Besides, Mr. Smith, my budget is not very sufficient right now. But as you know, this film basically doesn't cost much."

David Smith took a sip of coffee and said, "Well, I saw it. It doesn't cost anything, but you have to rent a house. There are some props in it. In fact, we can all scrape together."

Qin Feng smiled, "Yes."

"Mr. Smith, do you have any ideas about the salary?"

David Smith paused: "It's rare to come across such a good script, and the actor is the leading actor. You can just give me the salary."

"Well, I'm going to buy it out and pay you 80 meters in one lump sum. Can you accept it?"

"what?!!"

He was startled, his hands trembled, and some coffee spilled on the ground.

"80 meters of gold? This... so much? Director Qin, didn't you say that the initial budget was not sufficient?"

80 meters of gold, for an actor like him, I'm afraid he has never dreamed of it.

"No, but it will happen in the middle and later stages of this movie. I have another movie to be released. In short, your salary will not be less for me."

"Oh, that's it...as long as the director thinks it's okay, I promise I'll be willing."

"Okay, let's make this decision first, and I'll print out a contract later."

"You can also help me find other actors. Their acting skills must be good, and they don't have to be famous... After all, I can't give them much money except you."

"I understand, director, don't worry."

……

A month later.

All special effects for Jurassic have been produced.

Color grading and sound effects are also completed.

The movie is just waiting for promotion and release.

On this day, Spielberg called Qin Feng into the office.

"Qin, it's been almost half a year in the blink of an eye. It's not easy. This movie is finally going to meet the audience."

"Has the release date not been decided yet?" Qin Feng asked.

"Kennedy is working to get it released as soon as possible."

"The distribution department has also taken action and started contacting some theater channels."

"Qin, you don't have to come every day during this period. Just come for half a day on Mondays and Fridays."

"Good director."

Spielberg took off his glasses and rubbed his brow, "What are your plans when this movie is over? Are you still going to stay with us at Universal Pictures?"

Qin Feng paused, "I should be able, director, I have some work and I still need to stay here."

He looked at Director Si and said in a sincere tone:

"But sir, you also know that I have always wanted to be an independent director, and I want to be someone like you."

"In the future, I'm afraid I won't be able to be your assistant anymore. I have some ideas and want to start with low-cost films."

"But I want to say, it's not that I can't live without Universal, I can't live without you!"

"I have learned so much and experienced so much in the past six months. I really want to thank you, sir!"

Director Si was moved. After half a year of getting along, the two of them were like master and disciple.

He looked at Qin Feng kindly. Although his skin color was different, it was like looking at himself when he was young.

Determined, persistent, and full of love for movies.

"Hey, you're great, Qin Feng. You have the greatest potential among the young directors I've ever seen."

"Don't worry and go take pictures! No need to have any scruples, just follow your heart."

"If you need anything in the future, just ask me."
