Reborn Hollywood Ladies

Chapter 901 Revelation
"Has the script been changed?" She simply asked Leonardo.

Unexpectedly, she was really right, the script was in his hands.

Leonardo took out the printed script from his bag and handed it to her: "Let's take a look. I read it first, and I feel that the places you marked have been modified. If there is anything wrong, let's Let's talk again."

From his point of view on the script, this one is obviously more exciting than the previous one.A few abrupt places in the original script were removed, and some conflicts were aggravated.The whole story is still very complete, but the quality is more than a level up?
Lyra took the script.

While she was watching, Andrew was so nervous that he couldn't breathe smoothly as if he was waiting for execution.

Leonardo couldn't help but laugh seeing him like that: "Why are you nervous?"

"I-I'm not nervous!" Andrew wiped his cold sweat stiffly.

Leonardo took a few tissues from the table and handed them to him: "She won't eat you, as for the sweat on this end?"

Andrew wiped his forehead silently, and the soft tissue was instantly wet with sweat, and he couldn't open his mouth even if he wanted to deny such obvious traces.He doesn't want to be so cowardly either!But there was Lyla Moran!A living Hollywood legend, the kind of man destined to be remembered in documentaries.It's an honor to have her read the script I wrote, isn't it?
In fact, if they had shown the script to Lila in advance and talked directly about the script when they arrived, he wouldn't be so nervous.

But now that they're waiting here, waiting for her to see it and give her opinion, it's a little too tortured.

Andrew really didn't want to hear from his idol that the script was poorly written. He spent so long revising it meticulously, and thought he had done it perfectly enough.If this still doesn't satisfy her, he doubts whether he will have the confidence to continue on the path of screenwriting.

Lyra did not hear their conversation, her attention was absorbed by the script at the moment.She has read the script for a few months and marked it carefully, so she already knows the whole script very well.

And this time I read it again, and a deeper understanding came into my mind along with the reading.For a director like her, the sentences she sees will become images and appear in her mind.Instead of simply watching a story, it directly constructs a world, so that those characters who are active on paper are endowed with real souls.

In fact, a movie script does not have many words. If it is converted into Chinese characters, it may be [-] to [-].English characters take up more space than Chinese characters, and they are less concise. Probably the script will be one-third or even two-thirds thicker.

But even so, it doesn't take much time to read a script roughly.

Laila reads very quickly, almost half an hour is enough time for her to filter it carefully.And when she put down the script, she heard a gasp.

Without looking up, you know whose mouth the voice is coming from.Lila politely didn't comment on this, she just pretended she didn't hear it. If Andrew's flushed face was ignored, the atmosphere in the meeting room was quite good.

"How?" Leonardo eagerly wanted to know her opinion.

Laila thought about it, and organized the words in her mind: "It's pretty good. I hope that the changes will be very good."

Andrew looked at her nervously, and didn't relax because of her affirmation, because in his memory, such words would usually be followed by a "but"!
However, the "but" did not follow Lila's next words, but she directly talked about the deficiencies or misunderstandings in the script.

"The processing here is still a bit blunt." Laila used a pen to draw a section of the plot on the script: "If you do this, it will indeed make the conflict in the plot more serious, and at the same time, it will also make many viewers unhappy. "

When Andrew heard her talking about the script, he finally broke free from his tension and was brought into the world of the script.

Her words puzzled him: "Our script tells a story full of conflicts, do we need to care about the feelings of the audience?"

In his opinion, this is obviously an award-winning script. Apart from exposing the dark side of the world and warning the world of various conflicts, no one should care about its box office, right?In other words, no one expects it to make much box office at all.

Lila shook her head: "Of course. Don't forget who your movie is for. If the audience is dissatisfied with the movie, do you think they will still like you? The same plot can be accepted by the audience as long as you change the method. , so why not do it? In my mind, there is no rule that art films do not need box office, and commercial films do not need word-of-mouth. Since I want to shoot, I must shoot the best, and that is my purpose.”

Andrew looked at her without even noticing that his mouth opened subconsciously.He seemed to understand why so many people liked her movies, and why she could make any movie so profitable.What she said is not wrong, the same plot, as long as it is processed in different ways, can make movie viewers feel differently.It is inevitable and why not consider it for the audience?

"It seems that you understand what I mean." Lila looked at him and continued: "You are a writer, don't you hope that your script can create better profits? In business, if you even The script can be made into a commercial film, do you think your script will be loved by more people?"

In Hollywood, there is no one who doesn't like a script that can make money.Even if you don't make a lot of money, as long as you can make a small amount of money, there will be a lot of people rushing to it.

Andrew's heart skipped a beat when she said it.yes!He shouldn't be content with selling the script.The impact of a losing script and a profitable script are completely different!

What is the meaning of a good script?Not just a story with connotation, but also to create profits!
In other words, if it is a story with the same connotation, do you want to buy it at a low price and not make money, or pay several times the price to buy it and get a good box office?
That’s what Laila means. It’s also about writing a story. Why not write a movie that satisfies the “customers” without hurting the story line and theme?
"You're right!" Andrew nodded sharply.He believes that today's exchange will definitely have an extremely important effect on his future creative life. If he will become an excellent writer in the future, it must be the inspiration from Leila!
"If you change the way of description, do you think this will work?" He said another way, and in the case that the plot has not changed, he replaced the place that made the audience uncomfortable with another narrative method.

　Lao Zhuang also thinks the same way, seeing those who say that art films do not need box office, as long as they have connotations.I thought it was complete bullshit.

　　No one goes to see your movie, so what if you blow it into a flower?

　　That's simply self-admiration.

　　People don't play with you anymore. No matter how connotative and educational your photos are, what's the use?Once there is no box office, it will be said that movie fans cannot understand how good the movie is.

　　That's right, I just don't understand!It is reasonable to shoot something that cannot be understood by others.

　　╮(╯﹏╰)╭ can't understand what those people are thinking.
