Become a dramatist from today

The Silver Queen variety is relatively common in China. Huang Baiyou quickly ordered a pot, which is expected to be delivered to his door tomorrow.

"Speaking of which, why was Leon designed to raise evergreens?" Huang Baiyou had a little question in his mind.

It doesn’t matter if you don’t know now. You’ll know why after analyzing the script and writing Leon’s prequel.

The film was all shot in New York, and there were no big scenes, so the filming schedule was only two months.

As the main investor, Daydream Pictures has negotiated with Columbia Pictures to promote the film and start filming in January next year, so as to fit in with Huang Baiyou's schedule.

The next work, Jeanne's "Joker" will start filming in April.

It’s not that Jeanne had any special arrangements, but the Hudson County Courthouse, a building listed on the National Register of Historic Places, was a bit difficult to shoot...

"How is Darwin?" Huang Baiyou sent a message to Lao Fu in the company.

Perhaps many people have forgotten that after all, it was only a year or two ago. When filming "Quick Chase", the job was to raise a beagle.

Because he often went out for several months while filming, Huang decided to borrow someone else's dog to raise him. The other person was Lao Fu from the company's logistics department.

Although he went back, Huang Baiyou would call from time to time to ask about his current situation, and buy some snacks and dog food to send over.

In the past, Lao Fu was just a warehouse manager in the logistics department. Now he is one of the seven supervisors in the logistics department, responsible for supervising the company canteen.

"Darwin is thirteen years old and his health is not as good as before. The friend he played with passed away a few days ago, so he has been in a bad mood for the past two days." Lao Fu answered.

Thirteen years old is really an old age for a beagle.

"I'll take some time to take him out to play. It should make him feel better." Huang Bai said.

Lao Fu hurriedly agreed. After all, he wanted the dog to be happier no matter what.

After finishing the chat with Lao Fu, Huang Baiyou started to read the negative reviews from film critics collected by Wu Xiaoxiao.

After a closer look, he found something he had not extracted...

"When it comes to acting, there is very little outsiders can do to help." Huang Baiyou was a little disappointed.

As early as "The Truman Show", ordinary movie fans almost always praised it, and sporadic criticism was also mixed with personal attacks, which did not help the acting skills.

Nowadays, the more professional film critics are useless.

"So this method can only be shelved here." Huang Baiyou murmured.

Another day.

The courier who delivered the potted plants called, and the courier was placed at the Cainiao Station. It could have been delivered to your door, but Huang Baiyou would never ask for it.

He had a handcart specially designed to pick up express delivery, dragging a small yellow cart, and retrieved it in a short time.

Coming to the living room, Huang Baiyou quickly opened the express box.

The box was very high, and the vases inside were fixed with foam. They were packed very well, and the potted plants did not suffer any impact.

"What precautions..."

Huang Baiyou opened the breeding guide sent by the merchant. It was a long string of words.

Evergreen Silver Queen has requirements on temperature, soil, and humidity. It is very difficult to grow and is extremely unfriendly to novices.

For example, it needs an awning to protect it from the sun, and it is neither drought tolerant nor heat resistant.

"Oops." Huang Baiyou realized that something was wrong. He could even feed a cactus to death. Isn't this just GG?

But at the same time, Huang Baiyou also understood why the script was arranged in this way, "It turns out that it is such a difficult plant to take care of, but the killer carries it with him wherever he goes. It reflects that this killer is very delicate."

"But why plants and not pets? On the one hand, it is more professional as a killer that does not make a sound. On the other hand, the ecological niche of companion rescue cannot be occupied by pets. It is a very clever design."

After placing the Silver Queen in accordance with the instructions, Huang Baiyou moved on to the first step, completing the attendance task and first analyzing the relationship between Leon and Matilda in the script.

[Leon is "love" for Matilda.

what is love?

In "The Feast", Plato uses the prophet Diotima to give a definition, "love" is the power of good and beauty.

When Matilda returns home, she finds that her entire family has been silenced, and her only chance of survival is Lyon’s room at the end of the corridor...]

Huang Baiyou suddenly stopped writing and wrote a clear definition in his heart. There is still a difference between "love" and love.

Leave a space here, maybe there is something to add.

Mentioning a new line, Huang Baiyou continued to write——

[Lyon struggled internally for a long time, and in the end it was the compassion in human nature that allowed him to overcome his own closure [painting]]

Huang Baiyou didn't get the storyboard script, but he had a picture in his mind at the moment, so he drew it immediately.

Just a simple drawing can probably express it.

The door opened, and the sun shone on the face of a crying little girl.

I originally wanted to draw the protagonist's image, but at present, Huang Baiyou has not yet completely constructed the image of Lyon in his mind.

Will add it when the complete build is complete.

[Habit is a terrible thing. Leon rescued Matilda. They drank milk together, lived together, and performed tasks together.

There is a basis of habit and opportunity creates dependence.

Leon taught her the basic skills of a killer.

Matilda taught him English.

...]

Gary is a capable director, and at least this script shows good screenwriting ability. The characters of Leon and Matilda are all portrayed with details, such as sleeping on the sofa and drinking milk to stay awake.

"It seems that the directors I work with write and direct themselves most of the time." Huang Baiyou suddenly thought.

This is no coincidence. It reveals the completely different production models of commercial films and artistic films.

Commercial films are big investments. You must first have a project, then determine the producer, director and actors based on your needs.

As for literary films, that is, the director uses the story to find investment.

"This Killer Isn't Too Cold" is not commercial enough and is more of a literary film...

"Whether she can play the role well or not, the role of the little girl plays a big factor." Huang Baiyou called to inquire, but the actor for Matilda was not yet confirmed.

Regarding this matter, we also had to communicate with the director. Huang Baiyou also paid attention to the time difference and found a suitable time to call.

"Otherwise, let's hold an audition. Can it be done in the name of Daydream Pictures?" Huang Baiyou asked.

"It would be better to use Columbia Pictures," Gary replied. "It would be better to use Sony Pictures and your name, Mr. Standing."

In auditions, the bigger the gimmick, the more actors sign up, otherwise you won't be able to screen out the ones you're satisfied with.

"Use me and Daydream Pictures together." Huang Bai lobbied.

"Okay, no problem. I believe there will be excellent child actors." Gary also breathed a sigh of relief. He couldn't find a suitable child actor and couldn't start the movie.

After hanging up the phone, Gary scratched his head and muttered, "Although he is a bit verbose, he is quite nice."

Within two days, the news that Standing Huang was auditioning for child actors in his new movie spread throughout Hollywood!

Time passed, and half a month flew by. Huang Baiyou received many Christmas blessings on his mobile phone.

Christmas, Christmas again.

This year’s Christmas was very cold for the domestic film industry, with only three new films released, a sharp decrease compared to previous years.

"Christmas Killing"

"Little Buddha"

"Farewell My Concubine"

Among the three works, Little Buddha is still a cartoon.

But even if there are few films, the cinema on Christmas night is not deserted at all, because "Farewell My Concubine" was released with a shocking screening rate of more than 50%!

Since it won the Golden Lion Award and Venice Best Actor Award in November, domestic movie fans have been eagerly anticipating it.

Coupled with the foundation laid by the previous "Thirteen Langs of the South China Sea", the word "shocking" is absolutely correct!
