Meiman's extraordinary journey

Just like the title, this chapter is an idea for the adaptation of Star Wars 7.

After the premiere, Luo Yang and Caroline came to the private banquet hall on the top floor of Huaxia Theater.

Not long after, Kathleen Kennedy arrived at the private banquet hall with two capable and beautiful female assistants and a middle-aged man.

Catherine is now a well-known producer at Universal Pictures and has successfully created numerous film series.These people with Kennedy in their surnames feel like they are the proud sons of heaven~

"Hello, Mr. Luo." Catherine came to Luo Yang and introduced: "This is JJ Abrams, the director of the new Star Wars series. I think you should be familiar with him."

Of course Luo Yang knew about this JJ. In the original world, Abrams was also a famous director in Hollywood.

The famous director known as JJ Abrams, whose full name is Jeffrey Jacob Abrams. JJ is an indescribable pronoun among Chinese people, but it has no dirty meaning in Europe and the United States.

Abrams is not only the controller of Bad Robot Studios, but also directed the classic American TV series Lost. He also has many film credits, including Mission: Impossible 3 and Star Trek Into Darkness.

, Abrams, who looks ordinary, has a wise light in his eyes.In the field of directing, JJ is definitely a genius.He is good at directing science fiction movies and is comfortable with large-scale productions.

When filming Star Wars 7, the Kathleen Kennedy of this world still asked Abrams to direct.

"Good evening, Miss Kennedy."

"It's an honor to meet you, Mr. Abrams."

Luo Yang shook hands with Yiyi and briefly introduced his older sister Caroline.

Luo and the famous producer had already made an appointment to meet.The matter being discussed is exactly about Universal’s new movie planning Star Wars 7

"You mentioned in the email that you have some ideas about the plot of Star Wars 7 and the following two, so I took the time to meet you today." After sitting down, Catherine quickly spoke.

For someone like her, every minute is precious.

Of course, the influence of Titan Films is gradually increasing. For Kaiser, she has to see Luo Yang because of face.

Back then, Titan Pictures was just a small studio.It's different now, the scale has expanded rapidly, Titan Films has a lot of successful experience in producing films, and it has strong resources. It can almost be regarded as the strongest among small film companies other than the Big Six.

Naturally, this was not the first time Luo Yang had dealt with Ms. Kennedy. He put aside the unnecessary polite words and went straight to the point.

"Ms. Kennedy, you have always known that Titan Pictures is very optimistic about the Star Wars 7 project. I want to do my best to provide investment and technical support. At the same time, our requirements for box office dividends will not be very high."

Catherine showed embarrassment: "First of all, I can be sure that this movie is destined to be a hit. The question is how popular the box office can be. Secondly, there are now many investors who want to cooperate with us to produce this movie. Funding is not an issue.”

"I would like to emphasize again that Titan Pictures will never open its mouth." Luo Yang continued, "Furthermore, I believe that Miss Kennedy also hopes to grasp the long-term development of the Star Wars series." You not only want to make new movies I want to fill out the Star Wars universe with side stories, right?"

Seeing Katherine Kennedy's expression of affirmation, Luo Yang went on to say: "If the shooting plan of the Star Wars movie is very dense, it will inevitably lead to a decline in quality. I suggest that you complete the trilogy first, and then choose from excellent scripts. Come up with a suitable rumor and start shooting."

Catherine thought for a moment and then said: "Great suggestion. We can maintain communication on the structure of the Star Wars series in the future. Although Mr. George Lucas is no longer involved, he mentioned something and hoped that we would not Ruined his hard work.”

George Lucas, the great god who constructed the Star Wars universe, the director of New Hope and the prequel trilogy, the Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi are also his ideas.

After hearing this, Luo Yang turned to director Abrams: "I want to hear the script that has been confirmed now."

"I brought the final draft of the script. Of course, I can introduce it to Mr. Luo."

As a Star Wars fan, in fact, he has long been familiar with the plot of Star Wars 7.

Anyway, this story is about a group of people fighting for a reclusive Jedi, and then at the end of the film, just like New Hope, they blow up a huge Death Star inexplicably.Except for some new surprises in the character setting, the plot is really routine.

Luo Yang almost fell asleep after listening to JJ Abrams’ introduction.

"This is how it ends." After a few minutes, Abrams finally finished the script.

Luo Yang took a sip of water and then spoke: "First of all, what I want to say is that the plot imitates classics. The protagonist Rey of Star Wars 7 lives on a desert planet and encounters a robot that holds important information. This is too Nothing new, right? bb8 is just a copy of r2d2. In addition, whether it is A New Hope, Return of the Jedi or The Phantom Menace, a huge sphere always ends up being blown up. Either the Death Star, the semi-finished Death Star, or the Trade Federation Sphere Mothership. "

"Can we come up with something new in Part 7 of The Force Awakens?" Luo Yang asked.

JJ Abrams looked slightly embarrassed: "The tradition of Star Wars is to blow something up at the end of each movie."

That's true, but this tradition is too old-fashioned.

"You are not a fool for always bombarding Star Wars fans. Your plot structure is so similar to A New Hope, and your intention to remake it is too obvious."

Abrams responded: "I tell you, if labor and management are to accept this script, let the protagonist live on a desert planet, let bb8 play R2D2 again, and then blow up a super Death Star at the end."

"What happens next?" Luo Yang frowned and looked at Director JJ.

"If you make it up like this, old Star Wars fans will still say that this is what they want to see," Abrams replied.

The clever director is right again

Later, Star Wars 7 took the lead at the North American box office, far behind Titanic and Avatar.The global box office is also almost the same as Titanic, slightly lower than Avatar, ranking third in the world.Moreover, the box office record of Star Wars 7 is difficult to surpass.

"If we don't imitate A New Hope and make some slight changes, it can make the subsequent plot smoother and make Star Wars 7 another classic comparable to The Empire Strikes Back."

"Then according to you, what should be changed? In the script I polished, the First Order's Starkiller Base destroyed the main planet of Hosnia and the surrounding planets, disarming the Republic's counterattack force, and forcing the Resistance to attack Starkiller. "If you cancel the bombing according to your ideas, how are you going to intensify the conflicts and write the ending?" Abrams said excitedly, spitting like stars.

Luo Yang had already thought about how to change it in his mind.He analyzed calmly: "The plot before the emergence of Starkiller Base does not need to be changed much. After entering the middle of the film, you can set up the First Order fleet to use black technology to destroy the main planet of Hosnia and the Republic fleet, or, It doesn’t matter if we keep the Hosnia galaxy.”

"Kylo Ren kidnapped Rey, and there is no need to change, but a new foreshadowing can appear here. bb8 hiding the USB flash drive was also kidnapped by Kylo Ren, forcing the resistance to rescue Rey and bb8.”

"The final battle begins when the rebels raid the First Order outpost planet. On the ground, Han Solo and Finn lead the rebels into the base to save Rey. In the air, Poe Dameron leads the X-Wing fleet to attack. The final outcome , of course the rebels recaptured bb8, and Rey also defeated the injured Kylo Ren."

"In addition, the First Order cannot have heroes other than the Knight of Ren. If the First Order also has an ace pilot similar to Poe Dameron, then the air battle will be more interesting."

JJ Abrams listened carefully to Luo Yang's opinions.He thought carefully and then responded: "The adaptation of the ending is indeed of great reference significance. But the details still need to be refined."

He raised his head and looked at Luo Yang: "Sure enough, Mr. Luo has unique skills in controlling the plot."

Luo Yang almost didn't roll his eyes. You know, although your film is well-made, the plot of The Force Awakening has been criticized by film critics and fans.

"Ms. Kennedy, Mr. Abrams, I have another suggestion." Luo Yang stared at Kathleen Kennedy and smiled, "Can Obi-Wan Kenobi's side story be filmed first?"

Catherine Kennedy smiled lightly and said, "Obi-Wan's rumor is in the plan, don't worry."
