Legendary Hollywood Producer

A busy scene in a studio at Warner Studios.

Roman looked around: the set designers cooperated with the crew to set up the surrounding background, the camera crew was fiddling with the photographic equipment, debugging and maintenance; the cast found an empty place next to them for rehearsal, except for the guest O'Neill. , The other actors are all in place.

Roman approached the director, Mr. Steve Oldcock, and asked concerned, "When can I start filming?"

The crew has been running in for two days and hasn't officially filmed yet. Roman needs to know the exact time so that he can estimate the course of the next filming.

"Tomorrow will be fine." Director Steve Oldcock continued, "In the past few days, the actors and I have sorted out the lines and scenes of the entire script, so that the shooting will be smoother, Roman, don't you worry. , I will definitely finish the filming within the plan."

Roman nodded. Steve Oldcock gave himself a copy of the filming plan yesterday. The estimated filming time above is about 40 days. That is to say, the filming of the film "The Hangover" can be finished in early October. .

Roman no longer interrupts the work of director Steve. Naturally, matters related to filming have to be left to the director. In this respect, they are professional.

After walking around the studio, Roman went to the place where the actors were.

In the open space of the studio near the left door, the main characters gathered together and gesticulated something.

"Kim Carey, Catalina, Passit, Helms... hello." Roman came over and greeted them.

"Hello, Mr. Roman..." Everyone also greeted Roman politely.

"What are you discussing just now? I'm a little curious about it so enthusiastically." Roman asked with a smile. ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? asked with a smile.

Ed Helms, the host of the "Daily Show", suddenly said seriously, "Mr. Roman, we are just discussing how to make a comedy more comedy. Is this a good proposition?"

Seeing Helms spoke such words in a serious voice, everyone was amused.

Roman also found it interesting. No wonder the director Steve recommended him. He was indeed very happy.

"Guys, play well and use all your comedy inspirations. I hope to see a movie that makes people laugh all the time. This will be great. I look forward to your wonderful performances."

"Yes, sir, we will complete the task unless we can't get out of bed." Kim Carrey put his head in his hands and made a very irregular salute, and said solemnly.

Roman was amused again. This group of people was really happy. Using a little gesture and some words made people laugh.

After chatting with them for a while, Roman took the initiative to leave, "I'm leaving now, guys, see you tomorrow."

see you tomorrow..."

Roman returned to Manhai Entertainment, and told Mie to check the crew’s accounts. Roman didn’t want the crew to have a deficit or mismatch. Although Lamy is also the producer of the film, she will do the whole process. Participated in the filming of "The Hangover", but there are too many things to do with the accounts, so you must keep an eye on it.

Mie is also a sensible person, and Roman feels relieved by handing it to her.

After finishing the trivial matters, Roman looked for any scripts worth investing in from the film library in the office.

Many unknown screenwriters or newcomers like to vote for their work to n production companies, hoping to get the approval of one of them, this is also a way to expand the probability, anyway, the script has been filed with the copyright office. , America still protects this piece very well. Roman often hears that a big-selling movie is suspected of plagiarizing a screenwriter's work. In fact, these people are just hype to borrow the heat. As long as a movie is similar to the script they wrote, they will yell. Those who say plagiarism are often settled out of court, and those production companies randomly give thousands of dollars, and they will bet on their lips.

Roman opened the cabinet door, and it was full of scripts. This was only one-third of the company's script library. The rest was because the cabinets in the office were full and they were still in the storage room.

Choosing dozens of scripts from them, Roman sat in his seat and flipped through it quickly.

In fact, many of Roman’s scripts have no names. Of course, Roman did not choose the scripts based on the names. In fact, after many scripts are adapted into movies, they will change to a better name and more suitable for the movie. .

In order to avoid missing a good script and to speed up his own speed, Roman first briefly read the story of the script, mainly looking at the character image and background setting of the script, and then think about whether he has seen a similar movie or heard of it. Over.

Hollywood releases more than one hundred movies every year, and 30% of them are sequel development and adaptations of best-selling novels. About 40% of the hot movies and cross-industry filming are out of practice. For movies, the remaining 30% are adaptations of original scripts.

Roman was flipping through stacks of scripts. Most of the scripts were only a dozen pages long, and occasionally there were those honest writers who cast the entire story in. It was dozens of pages thick, and Roman was too lazy for a script like this. Look, it doesn't take any time to figure out what the main line of the story is.

After dinner, Roman rested for a while before going through the script.

A few hours passed, and Roman read about 50 scripts. When he saw the back, he felt numb. These scripts are pretty good, at least the writing is pretty good, the sentences are not fluent, and even the storage room of Manhai Entertainment is not accessible, it will be brushed off.

But even so, no script can impress Roman. It’s no wonder that Hollywood’s screenwriter status is not good enough, but the competition pressure is too great. So many people have good writing skills, and anyone can write scripts. How high is the value? If you don’t write, I’ll change it. Someone will write. After reading what he was holding, Roman continued to take out a stack of scripts from the bookcase to check it out.

After watching it for a while, I pulled out a script and threw it in the trash can. This has been filmed. It is a movie produced by New Line Pictures this year. What’s the name is "Lianlian Notebook". It has been in theaters for several months. A bit impressed. It's a pity that this movie has such a good reputation, it became popular with Rachel McAdams and Ryan Gosling, but it was shot by New Line Pictures first. Roman only saw it in the script library now, hey.
