Chapter 574 The Last Step
The most special thing about the movie "Butterfly Effect" is that it is not limited to time and space travel, but is based on changes in psychology to clarify the context and framework, that is to say, everything They all have roots.
It is precisely because of this that Mikey and Eric are particularly disgusted when other laymen point fingers, because they don’t understand anything.
It is precisely because of this that when Anson approached the topic from its roots and motives, McGee and Eric couldn't help but get involved.
However, Anson has not done in-depth research on psychology, and he is not sure. He can only throw out a possibility and wait for the brainstorming of inspiration.
"Perhaps, we should leave a clue."
"For example, although Evan is now in a relationship, he is not happy; for another example, Evan always thinks that there is something missing in his life, and inadvertently It’s easy to be in a daze but can’t find the reason.”
“For example, he can retain some of the purest and simplest beautiful memories, or lifestyle habits. This action or state can be linked to Keller. , connecting to the past from a psychological level. "
"Many people believe that first love is irreplaceable. There are many possible reasons. One of the main reasons is that the original love was simple and not mixed with interests. and the troubles of life, a pure relationship, so people tend to equate first love with ultimate happiness, as if we long to return to childhood
"It is precisely because of this that Evan believes that to achieve first love, life It will be perfect. ”
"In the first scene of the movie, you don't need too much, you just need to leave a thread, a memory, a habit, a connection from Keller, which can become the key to the subsequent story."
Anson is also working hard to give the characters room to extend and expand without affecting the script framework and narrative rhythm as much as possible.
In fact, for genre movies, actors just need a small performance space. They don’t need to be greedy or ambitious, just the right amount.
The last thing Anson wants is to break the narrative rhythm of the film itself -
That is the real disaster.
Therefore, Anson did not give specific information to tell McGee and Eric what to do, but instead threw out an inspiration and then returned the creative initiative to the two screenwriters.
So, what’s the result?
Although Anson has been extra cautious, although Anson naturally cuts to the point through a series of layouts, although Anson has firmly grasped the attention of the two screenwriters, and is about to successfully reach the high ground.
But McGee was still alarmed at the last moment.
“Are you teaching us how to write a script?”
In one word, the atmosphere immediately cooled down.
McGee finally got rid of control and returned to his senses. His face was full of vigilance and questioning. His brows were furrowed and he was staring at Anson with all his vigilance, his edge leaking out.
Anson was slightly startled, glanced at Eric, and found that Eric also tensed up. He couldn't help but sigh lightly, and he didn't hide it.
“Ah, we almost succeeded.”
McGee:? ? ?
Anson did not shy away and looked at McGee calmly.
“No, I’m not teaching you how to write a script, I’m participating in the creation of a movie as an actor.”
“You should know that in the creation of a movie, in addition to the screenwriter and In addition to the director, there are also actors, photographers, lighting technicians, and others, right?"
McGee muttered, "That's a strong word."
That. The attitude is not friendly.
But Anson was not angry, but found it interesting——
As he and Edgar said, he was in a similar position to McGee and Eric, and he understood their mentality and their persistence. and resistance; but the difference is that he has a choice, while McGee and Eric are standing on the edge of a cliff.
"McGee." "You know, I have a choice."
"I can make a request as a producer, and you must modify it like this, otherwise The cooperation fell apart.”
Anson noticed that McGee was about to speak, but this time, he beat him to it.
“Of course, you can refuse, the negotiation ends here, there is no need for us to waste each other’s time, you continue to look for the next investor, and I will continue to select the next project.”
“ But, I didn’t.”
“Going in circles, I am fighting with you to launch publicity. It is definitely not because I have too much time. I would rather lie in Cancun and bask in the sun during this time. It's better than sitting here and watching your faces; it's because I like this project, agree with your ideas, and sincerely hope that we can complete the creation of this project together."
"You can say, get out. , you have spent seven years on this script and know every detail of this script better than anyone else.”
"At the same time, you must also admit that the authorities are obsessed with it, and perhaps the perspective given by a third party can often open up a new way of thinking for creation."
"So, the story still returns to the starting point."
" Put aside your paranoia and think about whether the discussion we just had is of value."
Anson was considering every word -
He did not discuss right or wrong, nor did he give condescending instructions. Jiang Shan did not use aggressive cynicism and always insisted on his cooperative stance.
Eric's heart was obviously moved. He looked at Anson and then at McGee who was unmoved. He called "McGee" anxiously, but McGee didn't respond.
Anson was not surprised. He showed a smile and said, "I think today's discussion ends here. If you are interested, you know the phone number of my agent."
Finished , Anson picked up the soda water, took a sip, then looked at the price list, took out his wallet, and kept the cash for his glass of soda water.
Under Eric's stunned gaze, Anson finished the series of actions slowly and unhurriedly, then nodded and stood up to leave.
Eric's eyes went back and forth crazily between Anson and McGee. He watched Anson leave the cafe and met two more movie fans at the door. Anson politely refused the request to take pictures but He gave them a hug each, causing others to marvel and scream.
Eric couldn't bear it any longer, turned to look at McGee, and shouted.
"McGee!"
McGee had to use all his strength to control the urge to turn his head.
Eric was very depressed.
"McGee, he is already the perfect choice, even if it is not a perfect score, it is still 99 points."
"He was right."
"His ideas and inspirations completely shut both of us up. Not only did he know the project well, he had researched the characters and the script, but he could also lead us Come invest, what are you asking for?"
McGee was also a little angry, "It is precisely because of this that he is dangerous. Either he knows nothing and is just in charge of acting; or he is proficient in everything and is not just a producer. , can provide professional advice on distribution, promotion, etc.”
“It would be a disaster for a dabbler like him who thinks he is very good and likes to point fingers during the cooperation process.”
Eric didn't care, "So, do you think any of the producers or actors we've met so far doesn't criticize and is not self-righteous? Which one is better than Anson?"
"At least Anson is trying hard."
"So, what are you still asking for?"
