Best Movie Star

In the conference room of Sky Dance Films, a director in his thirties turned and left, walked out of the door of the conference room, and the conference room returned to silence. Matthew, David Ellison, Bearded Jack and Helen Helen Mann didn't say anything for the time being, and seemed to be making his own judgment based on the director's words and plans just now.

The bearded Jack took the lead to say, "He is inappropriate and inexperienced. He has just moved from the advertising industry to the film industry, and many concepts are still stuck in advertising shooting and production."

"Jack is right." Helen Herman said for the second time, "We all wanted him to be the second Michael Bay, but not every advertising director enters the film industry with the brain of Michael Bay. wide awake."

David Ellison looked at Matthew, "Is this not considered?"

"Yeah." Matthew nodded lightly, "Don't think about it, let's change to the next one."

The bearded Jack waved to a staff member, the staff member went out to bring people over, and he said to the three Matthew, "The next one, who has worked hard in the independent film circle before, has directed five works, and his experience It is very rich, and now there is also the idea of ​​​​transforming to commercial genre films.”

Matthew nodded. The directors of some commercial blockbusters are also from the independent film industry. After all, compared to commercial films, independent films with small investment and small production are easier to accept new directors.

Sky Dance Films has been selecting the director of "The Fast and the Furious" for some time, but it has not been able to find a suitable candidate. It is like a blind date between men and women on the other side of the Pacific Ocean. The man who likes the man is unwilling; the two parties look at each other, but the bride price can not be agreed...

To put it bluntly, in the series "Fast and the Furious", the selection of directors is somewhat high.

According to his and David Ellison's ideas, it is best to choose a well-known director with enough successful experience to direct, but well-known directors are not so easy to ask, the price is easy to say, and the film is required to be shot according to their ideas. The production had to have enough power, but they couldn't accept it.

To choose a new director, who does not have enough experience in the past and has no successful qualifications, who would dare to hand over such a big project to him rashly?

A few of them even demanded that a step-by-step box-office share like a gambling agreement must be added to their pay.

In the past, he was just an actor, and he often joined the crew one or two months before the film started, and before the starring entered the group, those commercial films with large investment may have been planned for a year or even longer.

Now, as an investor and producer, he has been involved in the operation of a large-scale production film from the initial planning stage, and only then did he fully appreciate the complexity and difficulties involved.

Huge investment must bring huge risks and pressures.

If nothing else, the choice of the director alone is a headache. The importance of the director to a film can be said to be second only to the producer.

The writing team led by Gary Scott Thomson has completed the script, and there is no very suitable director candidate.

The door of the conference room opened, and the staff walked in with a young director in his early thirties.

"I'm Michelle Gibson." The young director briefly introduced himself, with inexplicable confidence in his tone, "I'm from Illinois..."

Matthew glanced at the director named Michelle Gibson, who could be described as confident and high-spirited.

Come to think of it, a director who is only in his early thirties has already shot and directed five films, even if they are small independent films that are not very popular, but at this age, he does have the capital of self-confidence.

The first impression of this person on him is very good, young and energetic, with good experience and qualifications, and looks quite confident...

At the beginning, Matthew has not spoken, David Ellison and Helen Herman have also remained silent, and bearded Jack has been talking to each other.

What Michelle Gibson said to Bearded Jack also made the three of Matthew nod again and again, and the other party was obviously a very professional director.

"The crew provided me with the script, and I read the script carefully." Michelle Gibson asked suddenly, "Excuse me, is this the final script?"

Bearded Jack thought about it and said directly, "No, this is just the first draft."

Michelle Gibson nodded slightly, "That's good, the script still has a lot of room for improvement."

Matthew heard something else and interjected, "Director Gibson, where do you think the script could be improved?"

"A lot of places!" Michelle Gibson glanced at Matthew with a confident smile on her face. "Better to overthrow and rewrite them all!"

"Uh..." David Ellison was stunned.

Helen Herman frowned, and the bearded Jack said calmly, "If you can, ask Director Gibson to talk about your thoughts."

Michelle Gibson said seriously, "The story structure of this script is too simple, the plot logic is not rigorous, and too many plots are left to speeding cars, fights, gun battles and explosion scenes, and the narrative time will inevitably be severely compressed in the future."

"And!" he added, "all the settings are too simple and mindless. With all due respect, have you ever wondered why "Tokyo Drift" failed? Why is one of the previous trilogy inferior to one? Because of the lack of deep themes, the lack of attention to social issues, and the lack of digging into people’s hearts and humanity.”

David Ellison's eyes suddenly turned to Matthew.

Matthew sighed secretly in his heart. He was sure he had just lost his sight, ignoring the impact on one person after shooting multiple independent films in a row.

Michelle Gibson didn't finish his words, and continued, "America is a country that lives on cars, where drag racing and illegal modification are becoming more and more serious. Such a subject can be made into a film with a deep theme, sobering and social significance. We …”

Hearing these words, Matthew exchanged glances with David Ellison and Bearded Jack, who interrupted Michelle Gibson.

"Director Gibson," he said aloud, "We understand what you mean. Well, we will seriously consider your suggestion and notify your agent of the specific outcome within a week."

"That's good." Michelle Gibson stood up, her face still confident and proud, "Goodbye, everyone."

He turned and left the conference room.

"This can't be used!" David Ellison was the first to speak.

Bearded Jack nodded firmly, "Don't think about him."

Matthew didn't say anything, but nodded in agreement. He couldn't say that there was something wrong with what Michelle Gibson said. He could only say that the two sides had different ideas. It's okay to shoot an independent film with his suggestion. Shooting a large-scale commercial film is purely courting death.

This young director has good qualifications and high professionalism, but unfortunately he is not the same as them.

He and David Ellison, including Bearded Jack, have long agreed that the "Fast and the Furious" series is a simple and pure popcorn entertainment movie. This is the most basic core concept. All dodge.

"If the next person is not suitable..." Bearded Jack said at this time, "We have to select suitable candidate directors again."

Matthew also had a headache, "Let's talk about it."

Even though most of the work of the crew is in charge of the bearded Jack, he and David Ellison are considered to be most of the hands-off shopkeepers, but a lot of work is still difficult to carry out.

Behind any successful movie, there are hard work and choices that are hard to see by outsiders.

Bearded Jack said to the staff again, "Let Justin come over."

Soon, a Chinese director walked into the conference room and sat across from the four of Matthew.

The director was also very young, but in his thirties, Matthew looked at his black hair and black eyes. As before, bearded Jack was in charge of communicating with him.

Matthew won't just be sure that this is the director because of his appearance. That's just an international joke. He may invest in more films in the future~www.readwn.com~ If he chooses only based on this standard Director, it is estimated that it will not be long before bankruptcy.

Bearded Jack was communicating with the other party, and Matthew only listened to it for the time being.

When he just got the copyright of the "Fast and the Furious" series and was about to recruit a screenwriter to write the script, the Chinese director came to the door and met him and David Ellison, but out of concern for "Tokyo Drift" Worrying about a double defeat at the word-of-mouth box office, the two of them dragged it off at the time, and planned to wait until the official selection of the director.

This Chinese director is Justin Lin, the director of "Fast and Furious 3: Tokyo Drift".

Matthew is actually very clear why Justin Lin is so obsessed with this project. "Tokyo Drift" has a double box office hit, which has put Justin Lin under great pressure and has been unable to receive a new director job for a long time. Such a failure is a fatal injury to a Chinese director in Hollywood.

Matthew couldn't deny this objective fact.

He didn't really talk to Justin Lin, and his impression of him basically came from the film "Tokyo Drift".

Therefore, Matthew listened carefully to the conversation between Bearded Jack and Justin Lin. The very talented director just now made him realize a problem. A good director may not be a suitable director.

Justin Lin's eyes occasionally fall on Matthew and David Ellison, especially Matthew.

To save his directorial career, he needs a chance to prove himself to all Hollywood studios, but such an opportunity is too rare for him, so he chooses to stand up wherever he falls.

He knew he had to impress not just the bearded producer on the other side, but Matthew Horner.
