Chapter 117 Cannes Palme d'Or
When the film's casting was almost finalized, Cao Yang also wrote the framework of several scripts. He didn't need to write in too much detail. As long as he wrote the general outline, he could go to the US Copyright Office USCO to register the copyright.
What are the roots of Hollywood?
Some people think it is a complete film industry system, others think it is advanced concepts and execution capabilities, and still others think it is mature processes and guarantee systems.
Many people in the industry also believe that scripts are the foundation of Hollywood. In its long-term practice, a mature development system has been formed around scripts. This is the lifeblood of Hollywood movies to maintain global competitiveness.
But no matter what, the importance of Hollywood scripts cannot be denied.
Without the ability to innovate, it is not far from decline.
In addition, Cao Yang believes that some distinctive directors are also one of the foundations of Hollywood.
Cao Yang just wanted to dig into this foundation a little bit.
Regardless of whether it's useful or not, at least it's a bad breath.
Maybe it can also bring many benefits.
It's best to let Hollywood comic movies and game toy adaptation movies take the "bright road" in advance, run wild without looking back, and earn effortless dollars while having fun.
If you lose innovation, you will also lose competitiveness.
Cao Yang has a total of five scripts to register this time, including "Inception," "Interstellar," "2012," "The Martian," and "Gravity."
Register these scripts first, and then try not to shoot them with the original directors, and try to see if you can get these directors to turn around and make superhero movies.
Maybe it would be a good idea to give some guidance when the time comes.
Cao Yang also thought that Hollywood film companies would not follow principles and directly shoot similar movies.
In fact, there is no need to worry about this. No one knows whether the story will be successful before the movie is made.
What's more, Cao Yang is not a nobody, he is also a well-known director in the world. For a story that is not sure whether it will succeed, he offends Cao Yang and triggers global public opinion?
They also need to consider the impact this will have on the company.
If the truck driver hadn't had the idea of filming "Avatar" as early as 1997, Cao Yang would have wanted to register this "forced demolition" story to trick the truck driver.
Cao Yang suddenly felt that he had become a little evil, and then shook his head to expel this thought. What is evil or not? I am just doing as the Romans do.
On this day, Cao Yang was discussing the shooting with Gu Changwei. Behrman stumbled in and kept saying greetings starting with F. He didn't know who he was greeting.
Cao Yang's heart skipped a beat, something bad happened again?
This fucking America is killing me, right?
"Cao, come on, come on, turn on the TV and tune in to the damn Fox News Channel. I can't even fucking believe this is true, F..."
Cao Yang quickly turned on the TV. What bad thing happened again?
Tune into Fox News Channel and see Sean Penn appearing.
"... All of this information is stored in the government's archives and is trustworthy. These videos are also footage of news interviews from that year. The information here is from news reports from that year, as well as interviews with Milk's friends... …”
I saw Sean Penn displaying page after page and playing the recording of the interview...
The content of the recording is a woman. She said that she was Milk's neighbor and that Milk had pursued her back then. She also said that many people in the neighborhood knew that Milk was a normal man and had had many girlfriends.
Then Sean Penn played another recording. This person claimed to be Milk's campaign assistant and also his lover. She had always known that Milk was a normal man. Milk's so-called boyfriend was hired by her with money. of...
Then the videotape was played, which showed Milk holding a party with a group of beauties when he was young, wearing very little, and there were scenes of hugging and kissing... The other videotape was a news interview. Milk was a successful man at that time. The businessman, who was interviewed with him, was his girlfriend at the time.
There is also a lot of information, all of which were displayed by Sean Penn. It can be seen that he must have spent a lot of effort on these information.
Finally, Sean Penn concluded: "Milk is a despicable politician. He takes advantage of these poor gay people to achieve his dirty purposes...
The bills he wants to push after becoming the Ombudsman are all to defraud support...
He is a liar. Even his homosexual identity is disguised. He is a complete political fraud! ”
"It's over!"
Bellman muttered to himself.
"It's all over now. What will happen to our movie? We have such a good script and it's almost ready. Now it's all over...Sean Penn, this damn bastard, is so confused. What on earth does he want to do?" ?”
"Bellman and Sean Penn's actions can be regarded as knocking down a flag erected by the left. Will those people watch Milk fall?"
"He is a bullshit flag. We photographed him. With influence, those people will make him a flag. Now he is nothing but a bullshit. He is just an opportunistic politician." Behrman said through gritted teeth.
He took a breath, and then said angrily: "He was indeed pushing for those bills, otherwise he would not have been killed by the conservatives, but that was more than thirty years ago, who cares about this?"
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Cao Yang thought for a while and suggested: "I don't think it's necessarily all bad. As long as this matter gets bigger, we can change the script and become a 'despicable politician', and satirize those conservatives." .”
Bellman's eyes lit up and he began to carefully weigh the pros and cons, wondering if there was anything he could exploit.
He is also concerned and confused. This is his first time as a producer and his first full cooperation with Cao Yang. If he fails, he will never change his career as a producer again in this life.
Hollywood is the stronghold of the left, and movies that satirize conservatives must be politically correct.
But regardless of whether Milk is opportunistic or not, he is obviously a radical. It is not politically correct to include him in the film as a caricature.
"My dear Mr. Director, what are you going to do with Milk? He is obviously also a radical. We can't satirize the conservatives and then satirize the radicals. This is obviously a thankless task. .”
Every time Behrman calls Cao Yang "my dear director," it shows that he is excited, agrees with Cao Yang's ideas, and hopes that Cao Yang will come up with another good idea.
"This is not simple. The social atmosphere at that time was generally conservative, and San Francisco was dominated by conservatives. As a successful businessman, Milk definitely wanted to join the conservatives."
Cao Yang thought about it for a moment, and then continued: "He must have hated and looked down on homosexuals at first, but after several failed elections, he realized that he could use the power of these people to help him succeed in the election.
In short, he is just a speculator, and everything he does is for himself. ”
Who says bad things can't turn into good things?
As long as this change is made, it is also in line with Hollywood's political correctness.
More importantly, this kind of plot is what the three major European companies like to see most. They can't compete with Hollywood, but they like to watch the jokes of American imperialism the most.
As long as it works properly, the top three prizes in Europe may be coveted again this time.
The Palme d'Or in Cannes seems to be pretty good too.
Start writing a script.
