Chapter 573 A Seed
Anson can continue to be aggressive, and Anson can seize the opportunity to gain the upper hand and continue to inject his own opinions to destroy the defenses of the two screenwriters in one go.
However, he didn't.
Not only did he not, Anson also deliberately pressed the pause button, leaving room for breathing and reaction, allowing the two screenwriters to organize their thoughts.
He even politely thanked the waiter and took his soda. The waiter asked cautiously, "Are you Anson?" After receiving a positive reply, Anson also served as the waiter. Ying Sheng's apron signed.
Quiet, friendly, and a joyful and light atmosphere surges in the air.
Because fundamentally, Anson’s goal is not to destroy the two screenwriters’ firm grasp of the initiative and take over the entire project to truly become producers with the power of life and death; rather, it is to seek an appropriate solution with the two screenwriters and directors. cooperation method to complete the filming of a work together.
Anson is not prepared to completely take over the crew. He does not think it is necessary.
Strategy and means, the final destination is not power, but works.
So, under Anson’s control, the conversation pressed the pause button.
However, McGee and Eric never spoke.
It was only now that McGee realized that not only were they wrong, but they were terribly wrong.
They regard Anson as a financial sponsor, a vase who aspires to be a producer but has no artistic thinking, a marionette that can be manipulated casually, a stepping stone for them to complete their dream project, and a person to rely on. The lucky guy who has achieved success with good looks but his head is full of grass. He has an object, a check, and a label. He is not an actor or even a person with a complete personality and self-soul.
But now it seems that they are the clowns who have such ideas.
Over the years, they have boasted that the script is perfect and do not allow anyone to point fingers, let alone modify it. Even the slightest doubt will set off a landmine, which has also led to many difficulties in their cooperation negotiations.
They complain and protest that they blame all their lack of talent on others. They think that others cannot understand their creativity and hard work. They believe that they are the next James Cameron or Ridley Scott. No one appreciates it.
But now, Anson is willing to openly and honestly conduct self-examination——
Is he suitable for the role?
Maybe it is suitable, maybe not. The root of everything is that their script creation focuses on the concept of "butterfly effect", but they make the same fatal misunderstanding as many science fiction movies. They focus on the setting and ignore it. The people in the setting, the flesh and soul of those characters, are the key to connecting science fiction movies with reality.
Of course, that’s not to say that McGee and Eric haven’t thought about it.
They have indeed thought about it and made adjustments, constantly adding details to the characters, but fans of the authorities are always involved in science fiction settings again and again, thinking wholeheartedly about filling in the loopholes so that the influence of the butterfly effect can be connected, and unknowingly Take the character's motivations and settings for granted.
At this time, facing Anson’s frankness, sincerity, and forthrightness, the excuses and refutations were stuck in his throat. Looking at himself reflected in Anson’s blue eyes, he couldn’t help but fall into his thoughts and start to look at himself again. :
They think the script is perfect and they believe there is no one better suited to direct than them, but what if they are wrong?
Then.
Anson looked at the two screenwriters again and made sure they did not express their opinions before continuing.
"Actually, there is an explanation."
"Obsession."
"Perhaps, at the beginning, Evan just thought that if he could change the past, he could rewrite himself and his family. Keller's past history; slowly, slowly, this evolved into an obsession, as if this was the only path and way to happiness."
"When this happens. When your obsession cannot be realized, the futile loss and despair make you feel small and helpless in front of the giant of fate."
Anson cautiously threw out his thoughts. Anson understands the persistence of McGee and Eric. If someone were to stand in their position, it would be difficult for him to accept the judgment of others on his seven years of hard work.
But the point is that Anson believes that as an actor, the chemical reaction between him and the character is also an important part of the movie and cannot be ignored.
So, Anson did not act too hastily, but cut into the camp step by step, quietly turning the tables before the two screenwriters noticed the abnormality.
Sure enough, McGee was involved in Anson's rhythm.
McGee grabbed a life-saving straw from Anson's words, straightened his back instantly, and nodded without hesitation, "Yes, that's it."
At least, this proves that they haven't considered this.
Unexpectedly, Anson paused and raised the corners of his mouth slightly, "But if it is an obsession, the script needs to plant a seed so that the origin and motivation can take root and sprout with the development of the story. , otherwise the so-called obsession is just a wishful interpretation, nothing more than a castle in the air."
Eric showed a thoughtful expression, "What do you mean?"
Anson was not eager to answer. "You are the screenwriters, and the answer should be in your hearts. You know the script better than I do."
Calmly, Anson pushed back the initiative.
Eric thought for a moment, "You mean, in the beginning of the story, we should show Evan missing Kyler?"
"For example, when he was dating his girlfriend, he still Will he think of Keller; for example, he still has the love letter he wrote to Keller on his computer?”
“For example, he still keeps Keller’s souvenirs; or maybe he found Keller’s Mobile phone number, how many times did you try to call but still gave up? "
As expected of a screenwriter, he has been working on this project for seven years. Inspiration came at his fingertips, and he blurted out one setting after another without any effort.
Unexpectedly, Anson waved his hand, "No, no, no, this seems too straightforward and superficial. It will only make Evan look like a jerk."
"This setting is more like his first love being Bai Yueguang. He is obviously in a relationship but still misses the past. The crux of the whole story is completely about love. This seems very stupid and very superficial."
"The real genius should be that the regrets and shortcomings of the past are like dominoes, forming a series of influences in life, so that they lose the ability to embrace happiness."
"When he tried to trace the past and follow the When I looked back at myself, I realized that those shortcomings were deeply imprinted in my bones, because the family had certain shortcomings due to love and childhood experiences. "
"For example, the loss of the ability to love and the loss of trust. The ability to be happy. "
In this way, it is no longer limited to the rough setting of "First Love White Moonlight", but elevates the entire story, not just love, but a lack of happiness.
The most important thing is that it perfectly fits the script created by Eric and McGee——
From the beginning, Evan has been looking for his missing puzzle pieces through a psychiatrist.
Sure enough, as soon as Anson said this, the switch in the two screenwriters' minds immediately turned on, and their brains finally started functioning again. This way of opening was acceptable.
