"Indeed, or it may be even worse. Those people in Hollywood are simply a group of beasts. Don't expect them to have any conscience. They can cooperate with our so-called mutual benefit and win-win situation. They can't wait to bite down. Unless we and the seven In this way, it is possible to have more control, but if this is the case, then the quality of the film cannot be guaranteed.” Tonares said with a sneer, as a lawyer who has been practicing for many years, especially He and Anderson's former office was in California, and they had a lot of work contacts with these people in the dirty entertainment industry. They wiped their butts for countless times, so they naturally know their temperament very well. .

"Is there any reliable film company other than the Big Seven? Except for a few companies that make literary and artistic films, there is no film company that can control large investment. And my "Jurassic Park" is destined to be only Take the route of commercial films with large investment, and there are currently only seven directors who can make this category, or strictly speaking, there are only a few directors in Hollywood who can have this kind of control, and it is possible to make this movie well." Adam Wei Wei sighed and said, how could he not know this truth, but now it is only the early 90s, not the second-tier film companies such as New Line, Lionsgate, and Legend that grew up from independent films ten years later. (However, in the second decade of the 21st century, except for Lionsgate, which can still survive, the others have also been acquired by the seven major companies and incorporated into their banners, which is also a very regrettable thing)

"Oh? Do you also have research on movies?" Hearing Adam's straightforward words, Tonares felt that he wanted to update his image in his heart more and more. From what he learned from his investigation, Adam Baker As a young man in a small town, he has hardly been out of the town a few times, and the information channels are extremely narrow. To be honest, he really can't understand that he can have such a wide range of research.

"I applied for the University of Southern California's film production major, so I will naturally pay more attention to Hollywood." Adam pursed his lips and said modestly.

"That's a good university." Tonares gave him another like at the right time, and then continued to turn the topic back to business and said, "I can hear from your words, except that the film company hopes to be the top seven. , it seems that you still have requirements for the director?"

"Yes, I know this will be detrimental to the negotiation. After all, the more conditions we have, the more likely the interests of the final meeting will be reduced, but you all know the importance of a film director to a film." Adam could only sigh again Yes, he knows this very well. In the last life, DC and Marvel fought fiercely in the film industry. As a result, after DC had a good start with Nolan's Batman trilogy, in the end, several films in a row had poor reputation and were released by the same period. The mv's comic movie uses third-rate superheroes to open a huge gap. I have to say that in addition to the shit producer, the director's ability is also an important factor.

"So which director do you prefer?" Tonares asked. After all, this is also an important factor in the later negotiations, so I have to ask.

"If this "Jurassic Park" is classified according to the movie category, it is undoubtedly a monster movie, and the founder of Hollywood monster movies is Spielbold. It would be the best if he can personally guide it. .” Adam was a little tangled, but he still said his first choice.

Spielbod can be said to be the creator of the "Jurassic Park" legend in the last life. This classic movie he shot has earned nearly one billion dollars worldwide. Today's 90st century (of course, Kashen has proved himself with several movies at this time, but there is still a long way to go before becoming a god), and the sequel of "Jurassic Park" can still win after more than 21 years of restart. Compared with the crazy score of 20 billion US dollars, compared with the restarted "Independence Day 15", the grandma didn't even know it. The contrast is really obvious. (Jurassic World is not directed by Spielbold, but he is the producer and controls the overall situation)

"You know we'd better not put him in the conditions, otherwise we can only give away the copyright of our novels, or let alone share the copyright with them, it would be nice to get a copyright buyout fee of several million. "Hearing Adam's words, Tonares immediately interrupted Adam's words.

"Of course I just proposed the best candidate. If he can direct in the end, it is naturally the best choice, but other than that, if it is another film director, then I hope they can choose the script I gave. ...I can't accept that they ended up making a crap movie with Jurassic Park skin on it, so at least it can be constrained by the screenplay." Adam hangs his head, he is very clear that this is not Tonares' intention Embarrass him, after all, Spielbold dare to say the second in today's Hollywood, except for Star Wars, no director dares to face up to the movies made by Spielbold, so the price he pays for making movies is not ordinary Big, so Adam can only take the script into his own hands at the next best thing.

"Have you finished the movie script of the novel?" Tonares' eyes widened and he felt like he was about to start cooperating with this young man. He remembered that the other party could also draw comics. He was really a versatile and talented young man.

Looking at the admiring eyes of Tonares and others in front of him, Adam smiled a little awkwardly, and then said: "No, although I have a little understanding of movie scripts, I admit that at least for now I am not good at scripts. creation."

Hearing Adam's words, Tonares breathed a sigh of relief, secretly thinking that it's okay, but this also caused another problem: "If we don't provide an excellent script and get their approval before filming, Then they won't accept our arrangement."

"I know, isn't there still more than a month left? My idea is to come up with a movie script that satisfies me before formally launching negotiations." Adam nodded and agreed with him, but he said Out of his plan.

"Is one month too urgent, or we all need to arrange some screenwriters for you to help you create." Tonares said hesitantly, honestly speaking, an employer like Adam who seems extremely confident and even a bit proud , Sometimes it takes a lot of energy to communicate, and if you are not careful, you will make the other party feel that you have offended his dignity, which is really a headache.

But obviously Adam didn't feel that he offended himself, but he was very affirmative of his suggestion: "This is natural, you can't really think that I can do it by myself to come up with the script within a month." Yes, although I am more confident, I am not a fool."

"Haha, that's good. But if you have any requirements for these screenwriters, we can help you contact suitable screenwriters." Tonares breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Adam's words, and asked in advance.

"Since, as I said, the movie adapted from my novel is a monster movie, first of all, I need the screenwriter to be familiar with the script format of monster movies; For movie scripts, it would be even better to have rich experience in script creation, especially monster movie script creation experience; the third point is that I hope to be able to cooperate with my ideas, rather than asking me to cooperate with him.” Adam [-] Three lists the necessary abilities and characteristics of the screenwriter who cooperates with him.

Among them, monster movies have become one of the genres in Hollywood since the birth of Spielbold's stunning work "Jaws", and even became a stereotype in the [-]s. The script of this kind of movie has a format specially prepared for it, such as when to lay the groundwork, when to be small, when monsters will appear, kill, and be killed, etc. There are very detailed settings, just press this If the frame fills in the content you want, then it is a qualified Hollywood monster movie.

This format has also become a monster house. Until Adam crossed over, the monster movies that appeared in Hollywood every year were basically created according to this frame format, and even those outside of Hollywood, such as the not-so-famous Han River Monster, were created according to the frame format. A monster movie created by the rules of the monster house.

And does the Jurassic Park movie count?There is no doubt that it is, and all four of them are scripts built according to their frameworks, but the question arises, why are the movies with the same script frameworks, but the quality of the films is good or bad?

In addition to the fact that the director has to take the blame, whether the screenwriter carefully arranges the fillers in the framework as reasonable, interesting, and logically self-consistent is very important. In the end, since it is a monster movie, the most important thing is There is no doubt that it is a monster.

The reason why a monster movie becomes a monster movie is that the main character is a monster. Therefore, creating a monster that satisfies the audience's ideas about monsters, but does not make the audience hate or even disgust it, is a test. The ability of a director.

But Adam naturally doesn't need to think about this, because the book Jurassic Park has perfectly solved the most important protagonist of the monster movie for the director—the monster, but how to use it well still needs to be carefully considered, and this This is the focus of Adam's work in the future. He will use scripts and comics to show Hollywood that this is a project that will be successful and make a lot of money once it is filmed.
