Vol 3 Chapter 39: invite discussion

    "Hey, man, how about a glass of whisky? The Chivas here is very authentic." The laughter reached his ears, which made the man drinking suffocated for a while.

    "Go away, I'm not interested in inviting others to drink." He said impatiently.

    Who knew that the unexpected voice sounded again: "Who said you were asked to drink? I mean, I want to buy you a drink, Eric."

    The man couldn't help but froze for a moment, then turned his head, and then showed a surprised look: "Xiao ... Sean?"

    "Yes, it's me, Eric, I didn't expect to see you here." Sean Tang in front of him smiled and patted his shoulder affectionately, "How are you doing recently?"

      "that's it."

    "What? Is there something unhappy?" Sean asked, aware of something.

    Reese opened his mouth and finally turned into a wry smile. He looked at the young man in front of him, but was still speechless. Who would have thought that a small extra who had to rely on himself to turn over , a few years later has been among the ranks of superstars.

    "What are you doing here?" He didn't answer, but asked separately.

    "Well..." Sean carefully observed his expression, "I made an appointment with a screenwriter to talk about things, talk about his script, and maybe invest in a TV series."

    Reese's face suddenly turned black, what could be worse than... a down-and-out screenwriter meets a former little guy and now a big guy in a bar, and he is discussing the script with other screenwriters?

    "How about coming over, Eric?" Sean said suddenly.

     

    "Forget it, Sean," he said in a low voice, "I haven't written a good work for a long time, I just can't be a good screenwriter at all, so I can't help you. "

      From October last year to now, Reese has not received a job. Compared with the scenery at the time, it is not bad for him to say that he is useless now, so that he is not even jealous of Sean anymore.

     

    Then he sighed: "And, you know, they all say I have a good eye, but in reality I just make my choices based on intuition. The script I'm talking about, although it looks good , but there are still many problems, I can feel them, but I can't tell where they are, so I need an experienced screenwriter to check for me. Although I also brought a few screenwriters over, but they played a role Don't fight, just when I was helpless, I saw your figure sitting downstairs."

    He looked at him with sincerity: "You helped me before, Eric, and you can help me now, right?"

    Reese was stunned again, completely did not expect Sean to say such a thing, an inexplicable feeling came out of my heart, a little excited and a little overwhelmed .

    The throat twitched, and he finally agreed: "In that case... well."

    If you just listen and give some advice, it won't take much time, and if you can…

    Soon came upstairs, Sean and their box, Reese met the screenwriter he said, Tim Kling. This made Reese a little relieved. As a senior screenwriter and producer, Kling naturally knew each other, but this knowledge has only been met a few times, not familiar but not unfamiliar. What Reese was most worried about was that after he came up, he saw people he hated. There were very few people in Hollywood that he would never want to see. In that case, he would be at a loss.

    "This is Eric, the person I admire most, he was the one who led me into Hollywood at the beginning. He is very good at screenwriting. I happened to meet him today, and I want to hear his opinion ." Sean introduced him to Krillin and the others.

    Reese blushed slightly, but he adjusted himself, greeted the others politely, and listened to their introduction.

    "I have to admit, at least it sounds really good." After a general understanding, Reese said after thinking for a moment, "But there is a problem, which is that all superpower TV series face issue, the balance of abilities.”

    "So I arranged for each character to have at least one editor who is responsible for character setting, and at the same time exchange opinions and arrange the plot." Kling was a little unconcerned.

    "I admit, this is a good idea, it can adjust the plot well, and make the characters better obey the set character," Reese said first, then changed the conversation, "But This is not impeccable, we all know that the more sophisticated the instrument, the more troublesome it is to maintain, as long as there is a problem in the middle link, it will affect the production of the entire TV series."

    "Are you saying that there may be a problem with my screenwriter, and it's a big problem?" Kling frowned.

    "I'm just stating the facts." Reese spread his hands.

    "So what's your opinion, Eric?" Sean came out to smooth things out.

    "Superpowers must be limited, or in other words, there must be weaknesses, and mutual restraint. Like Sierra, you need to observe the internal structure of the human brain to steal each other's superpowers, which is a It's a good setting, and Pete's setting is really too much, as long as you get close, you can copy it, so many abilities in hand, it is easy to make people dazzled and upset." Reese said.

    Krillin stopped talking. Judging from his expression, he should have been persuaded, but he just didn't want to admit it.

    Reese opened his mouth and wanted to continue analyzing the statement to prove that he was right. But after thinking about it, I was invited by Sean to give it, it is better not to be so aggressive, so the words changed again.

    "Don't worry, setting is always a very complicated thing, especially the setting of super powers, balance is necessary, but innovation is also necessary." He said.

    "That's right, maybe we can really find time to brainstorm or something." Sean agreed immediately.

    Kling couldn't help but sigh at this time: "It's really not easy, especially when all the stories have been told, how to tell new ideas becomes the biggest problem."

    "That's right, that's it," It was probably the other party's dark band, but it was very clear and helpless to infect Reese, and he couldn't help but sighed, "I thought about one before. The script, the movie script, a few police officers accidentally harvested a box of cocaine when arresting a drug dealer, they wanted to steal it, sell it and split the money, and finally died in an infighting, but unfortunately there are too many similar plots, I don't know how to write It's new."

    "Really? Can you tell me more about it?" Sean immediately showed interest, "It's just to improve the mood, we have discussed "Super Hero" for a long time before, Maybe you can come up with better ideas for a change.”

    Kling made a casual gesture, then looked at Reese, obviously, he was a little unhappy with the comments on his ideas before, and wanted to take this opportunity to get back on his feet.

    Reese was a little annoyed, but this topic was first brought up by Sean, and he didn't know what to say, and when he thought about it carefully, his idea was very general anyway. Big deal, besides... those jeering voices he'd heard before.

    "The concept is relatively simple at present. There are four anti-drug police officers. They usually have a good relationship, just like brothers..." Reese immediately got up. This story is not long, it took about 30 minutes That's it.

    "It's really ordinary, nothing bright." Kling shook his head after hearing this. This middle-aged man in his 50s has never seen any script in Hollywood, so he naturally knows that such a story is very interesting. Ordinary, but he didn't take the opportunity to attack Reese, but asked something: "Have you thought about changing the way to make them go against their goals? It doesn't have to be drugs, it doesn't have to be jewelry, as long as it's interests."

    "What could it be?" Reese shrugged, he'd thought about it all, but like drugs, most of them had been used.

    "How about the stock?" Suddenly someone interjected, it was an assistant on Krillin's side.

    "Stocks?" Reese and Krillin asked in unison, a little incredible, but full of interest.

    "It's impossible, do you want them to go to the Stock Exchange to arrest people?" Another assistant immediately retorted, it was the one brought by Sean.

    "No no no, I mean, just change a career, of course, a government law enforcement employee, so the story has a sense of irony, but it can be replaced by an FBI agent "The former one immediately said, "For example, someone made a profit in the stock market through backroom trading, and the Securities and Futures Commission could not find evidence for a while, so the police and the FBI jointly eavesdropped on key people."

    "It's impossible, such eavesdropping is illegal." Another person shouted, but unfortunately everyone looked at him with "idiot" eyes, so that he had to raise his hands: "Well, I mean, is it appropriate for something like this to be shown on film."

    "More government violations, which we've seen on film and television, worry about? Actually, that's what we're supposed to do," Kling snorted, then Turning to his assistant, "Go ahead."

    Hollywood has always been the stronghold of the left, and often shows the dark side of the government in its works. Even if the "Patriot Act" was introduced after 9/11, it could not be reversed for a while, otherwise Mike Moore's "Fahrenheit 911" It can't be released at all, so many producers make it their mission to "expose" the darkness of the government - of course, just grasp that line, such as someone is bad, but most of them are good, even if attacking the country's system, It is also limited to filling holes and so on.
