Chapter 125: Like-minded

Jeffrey raised his hands, and said with a frustrated and stubborn face, "You want to compete fairly, and I can't stop you, but... I can't continue talking to you about the script anymore."

"So you chose to side with Roland." Lance's calm words were without any emotion, but Jeffrey suddenly raised his head and frowned, "I don't..." Subconsciously wanted to deny, But as soon as the words came out, they couldn't help but stop on his lips. Lance's blue eyes made all his excuses disappear, because he knew that this was the truth.

"It's not fair." Jeffrey held his head in frustration.

"It's really unfair." Lance agreed, but it was such a simple sentence that hit Jeffrey hard, because Jeffrey clearly understood... The script of "The Day After Tomorrow" is constantly being revised and perfected. Up to the present stage, it is largely thanks to the help of Lance.

Lance put forward many opinions before, and Jeffrey thought they were great ideas, but they were all rejected by Roland, and the script still could not satisfy Mark. In the past few days, Jeffrey plans to revise the script according to Lance's opinion, and then look at the finished product, and then persuade Roland, and finally hope to convince Mark.

But if this is the case, Jeffrey can't use Lance's opinion—he and Roland will return to the original point, the origin of the two people's constant disputes; but if Lance's opinion is used, but the script is handed over to Roland, standing On Roland's side, it's not fair to Lance.

Jeffrey just felt that his head was about to explode. This feeling of entanglement and collision was so bad that he couldn't think at all.

"Jeffrey," Lance's shout caused Jeffrey to raise his head suddenly, his eyes blank, "Mark didn't say that your script should be completely replaced, nor did he say that you would change the screenwriter, he just wanted me to mention some Opinion. So, why don't you give it a try, write a version of the script as Roland thinks, and then write a version of the script as mine, or I do the revisions, which is the same, and see how Mark ends up choosing. "

"You mean...you want me to abandon Roland and stay alone in order to keep my job?" Jeffrey looked at Lance in disbelief, even more surprised than when he heard the shocking news just now. Lance is almost advising him to betray Roland, which is unacceptable to Jeffrey!

Lance shook his head, "You're wrong, whether it's me or Roland as the final director, you will stay. Because Mark has no intention of changing you from the beginning." The same question, interpreted from different angles, but Different meanings were born, "Of course, if you are willing to live and die with Roland for the sake of loyalty, I think there are only two results for your script, one is to be bought by Twentieth Century Fox, and then revised, in the screenwriter column Your name is included in it; one is completely overthrown, and the entire project must be rebuilt from scratch, but... who can guarantee that it will be completely different from your script?"

Jeffrey felt his head turn a little bit, and a lot of information turned his head into a pot of paste. Lance circled around, looked at Jeffrey and said earnestly, "I'm begging for a chance of fair competition. The script is also written according to the framework of your story, and then divided into Roland's version and my version. After all Which one can impress Mark, fair competition. I believe that even Roland is willing to accept such a challenge, don't you have confidence in his strength?"

Jeffrey felt that what Lance said was very reasonable, and he couldn't find a reason to refute it for a while, "But..." But Roland's current script is the source of the dispute, and it is also the reason for Mark to find someone else. The so-called fair competition, In fact, it's not fair anymore.

"We all know that there is a problem with the script. Now we will see who can write a better script. Jeffrey, I am asking for a chance to compete with each other." Lance's words made Jeffrey feel the last twitch in his heart. His doubts disappeared. He took a deep breath, looked up at Lance, gritted his teeth and hesitated, and finally let out a long breath, "I see."

Lance also let out a long breath, as if unloading a burden, "I think it would be too cruel to ask you to write for my script. So, according to the framework of your script, I put my thoughts The structure and my thoughts on the plot are all written out, then sorted out and handed over to Mark. As for the final choice, it is beyond my control.”

Jeffrey nodded, but his mind was still muddled. He didn't know what to say. Seeing that Lance turned around and was about to leave, he subconsciously called out, "Lance." This made Lance's footsteps He stopped, with a hesitant and tangled expression on his face, but he couldn't open his mouth at all.

In the end, it was Lance who helped him solve the pain, "Are you going to adopt the suggestions we made on the script last time?"

"Yes..." But as soon as he said this, Jeffrey realized that it was inappropriate. He couldn't help baring his teeth, and waved his hand, "Roland and I will figure it out. I just want to ask..." Jeffrey found out In fact, it is really unfair to Lance, because Lance shared most of his thoughts and ideas with him, and he also agrees very much. If he can persuade Roland to accept, then Lance is the one who can't do anything . This thought made Jeffrey unable to speak at all, his brows were tightly knit together, with a painful expression on his face, "Did you really decide to divide the second half into two main lines?"

Lance chuckled lightly, "Jeffrey, don't worry, after I nodded and agreed in the office this morning, I knew what I was facing. I just want to try my best and see if I succeed or not." It's natural. So, you can ask me with confidence, but I can't guarantee it, and I have no reservations now."

This magnanimous gentleman's appearance made Jeffrey chuckle and scratched his head, "I mean, if you arrange two lines in the end, wouldn't it be too bloated? Parents embark on a journey To save the children, how do they reunite? Sam’s father Jack, we have set it up, he treks in the snow field, which is reasonable; but what about other parents? Their starting places are different, and their own hardware is also different. At the same time, the departure will also take up part of the time to explain the problem, which will only make the plot too bloated, weaken the sense of rhythm, and the climax/tide may not be as good as expected."

Obviously, Jeffrey has been thinking about this issue for the past two days, and he spoke clearly and clearly.

If Lance wanted to avoid Roland knowing what he was thinking, he should avoid talking about it, but Lance knew that in order to really achieve his goal, he had to impress Jeffrey and really get Jeffrey to stand on his side . Unlike Roland's friendship, Lance needs to rely on real materials to impress Jeffrey. Therefore, he had no intention of hiding it.

"The reunion of parents is not a problem at all, it can be solved very simply. After Jack and the others set off, they accidentally met a group of people in the snow field—because they set off from the same place to the same destination, Jack originally thought it was the backwardness of the retreating troops. However, they accidentally discovered that they were the parents of Sam's classmate, and everyone had the same purpose. Of course, they could argue, because the others were amateurs, and they were likely to die in the snowstorm, but the greatness of family affection made They reached a consensus."

Lance's explanation was very clear, Jeffrey suddenly realized, and said excitedly, "This is the core emotion of the whole movie." Through parents' quarrels, exchanges and crises, the family relationship is further sublimated. This is undoubtedly a simple but ingenious way, and according to Lance's way, the plot can be integrated into the main line of the story invisibly without adding more scenes. Not only will it not become bloated, but it will make the conflict more convincing.

"Then...what about the New York branch? The children need to encounter danger, otherwise it would be too boring to hide in the library all the time, but must there be so many conflicts? This will make the climax/tide of the plot always wobble." Jie Foley felt that his whole brain was active, and his thoughts were like a fountain. This is completely different from the state in the morning!

"This is the job of the director." Lance put an end to all the doubts in one sentence. While advancing the two lines together, it will not weaken the plot, but will enhance the climax step by step. It depends on the skill of the director. "What's more, The children are hiding in the library, which witnesses the contradictions between races and the conflicts between ages. In addition, the children encounter more and more dangers, and even hurt Sam and others, increasing the suspense. Also makes the climax of the ending more powerful!"

Jeffrey suddenly stopped talking ~www.readwn.com~ and began to think seriously in his mind. The problem that the script of "The Day After Tomorrow" is slightly weak in the second half is also an important part that Mark has been dissatisfied with. However, Lance's method is so painful that he almost completely changed the framework of the second half, which made Roland always Can't agree. But now it seems that although Lance's method is troublesome, it is the most effective, and it can make the film's appeal to a higher level.

Raising his head, Jeffrey looked at Lance in front of him, and the voice of admiration had come to his lips. Although he knew that Lance was very talented, he was still amazed by Lance again at this time, and he had a good grasp of the overall situation of the script. Really good, even in a story structure with little room for development like a disaster movie, Lance can show his skills.

Lance saw the excitement in Jeffrey's eyes, knowing that today's task has been accomplished, he quickly raised his hand, and said with a smile, "I refuse to talk about other details. In order to maintain my competitiveness, I still turn around." It would be wisest to leave."

Jeffrey couldn't help being stunned. After his brain recovered, he realized how powerful an opponent Roland was facing. Perhaps, Lance is more suitable for the script of "The Day After Tomorrow". There are always countless sparks colliding between the two of them, especially the resonance between the two "novices"; Aggressive is also too unrealistic, and conversations don't always go well. But... just maybe.

Taking a deep breath, Jeffrey looked at Lance who left in a cool way, and forced himself to withdraw his attention. He should at least talk to Roland before talking~www.readwn.com~ The hottest serial works are all at ~www.readwn.com~ Mobile phone users please go to read.
