Screenwriter Mystery

Script 2: "Strange Bar"

Plot overview: Day and night seem to be separated by two completely different worlds.

In Los Angeles, the atmosphere of Thanksgiving is permeating the sky over the city.

Even the chaotic neighborhood of Compton seemed to be infected with such a happy atmosphere.

However, it is not just ordinary humans who are affected by the festival.

At night, a noisy and brightly lit bar suddenly appeared at the corner of an unknown street in Compton, and the burning bone signboard came to life.

Several drunk men and women looking for fun found the bar and entered it...

…

"It's finally done."

Compared to "Circulation", which was created in a hurry before.

Zhao Yuan obviously spent more thought on the creation of this new script.

After incorporating all the details about the bar in the script into the system, Zhao Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and rubbed his slightly sore forehead.

He looked up and checked the script in the system panel again and again, and there was no omission.

He decisively pressed the [Generate] button under [Script Evolution].

"Ding! Please put in conformity..."

With the previous experience of "Cycle", seeing the prompt popped up on the broken panel of the system, Zhao Yuan's face did not show the slightest difference.

Instead, he had long expected to bring up the prepared [materials] and put them in.

[Material 1]: Wine glass—1000 [plot value] (exposed from the house)

[Material 2]: Red suit - 100 [plot value] (purchased at a thrift store)

[Material 3]: Leftover fried chicken bones - 50 [plot value] (yesterday dinner)

[Material 4]: Abandoned dolls (multiple)—150 [plot value] (left by the former tenant)

If we say that "Circulation" created by Zhao Yuan before is a one-act drama with a simple overall structure.

Then, the new script "The Strange Bar" to be evolved this time is a complete group drama. Although every character involved in the play is not necessarily eye-catching, it is crucial to the composition of the entire script. important. With the increase of materials, the [plot value] required by the script also increased a lot.

[plot value]: 1620

"I hope the [plot value] harvest this time will be worthy of the expenditure."

Looking back from the [plot value] at the top of the data panel, Zhao Yuan somewhat understood the director's feelings at this moment.

There are only so many costs to cover the budget. It is necessary to shoot the entire film as perfect as possible within a limited cost. It is no wonder that so many directors are asking for help because of funding problems.

I don't know when, I can completely ignore the [plot value] consumption of the evolution script.

With good expectations in my heart.

However, Zhao Yuan is very clear that such expectations may never be realized.

After all, even in Hollywood, even big directors like James Cameron are still struggling with financial problems.

Although, from a certain point of view, this big director is indeed talented in spending money.

When filming "Titanic", the constant extra budget almost forced Fox to go bankrupt.

Shaking his head, he restrained the mixed thoughts in his heart.

Zhao Yuan put his attention back on the [script evolution] of the system in front of him.

"And choose an evolution location!"

"Choose an evolution location - Compton Streets and Alleys!"

"Ding! The evolution location is confirmed. A total of 1,500 [plot value] points are required to evolve the script, whether to evolve it or not!"

After completing a series of operations on the system step by step, Zhao Yuan resolutely confirmed it when he saw the last query on the data panel.

【Evolution begins】

At this point, except for the last remaining 120 points of spare [plot value] on the system panel.

Zhao Yuan has already invested all the [plot value] obtained from his two previous scripts, "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" and "Circulation", into the evolution of the new script.

…

Under the invisible power fluctuations.

In the Compton neighborhood, in an unknown alley, a brightly lit bar suddenly appeared there, and loud noises came from the bar.

A burning bone hangs from the neon sign at the entrance of the bar.

There was a faint smell of burning burning in the air.

On the street, a few drunken men and women appeared there staggeringly.

"...Fu**you, Ian, don't think I don't know what you're thinking!"

Stepping on high-heeled shoes, she walked on the road with a pair of knowledge that she would fall but not fall. Among the crowd, a blond woman with heavy makeup threw away the man's arm and shouted and scolded.

"You're drunk, Cathy..."

Facing the accusation from the blonde woman, Ian, who was also full of drunkenness, opened his drunken eyes and replied with a smirk.

"I'm not drunk, don't try to deceive me with this sophistry, I know you've always wanted to **** me, Ian..."

The whole face was flushed with drunkenness, but Cathy, the blond woman, still said stubbornly.

"I think you're drunk and confused, Cathy, haha."

"That's right, otherwise, why would you say such drunken words, and you actually forgot, Ian is GAY, he likes men just like you, how could he go to you, it's almost the same if you let him be **** by Bert. UU Reading www. uukanshu.com”

"That's right, hahahaha."

"Hey, why do you want to get involved with me, I'm not gay."

Hearing the nonsense and drunken talk of the blond girl Cathy, everyone burst into a huge laugh.

"You're so disgusting, Cathy."

And as another party in the whole incident, Ian.

However, with a look of disgust, she made a gesture of disgust towards Cathy.

Undoubtedly, Ian's reaction caused the men and women around him to laugh even more.

A few drunken drunkards were playing drunken madness in the uninhabited neighborhoods of Compton.

Such an unscrupulous approach is obviously to show off his status as a fat sheep to be slaughtered by those coveted guys in Compton.

Under normal circumstances.

They will have a high probability of encountering the warm 'hospitality' of the guys in Compton, whether it is Cathy who likes men, or Ian who likes men, will be penniless the next morning. Waking up disheveled from some garbage dump.

If you are a bit unlucky, you may not even have the chance to see the sun the next day.

However, strangely enough.

In the past, that group of stray dogs roamed around the neighborhood of Compton, wandering around, diligently 'subsidizing' their families, but they couldn't drive them away.

Tonight, it was unexpectedly quiet.

It was as if they, who had been homeless in the past, had all found a home at once.

And at one end of this quiet, quirky neighborhood.

Under the shadow of the old street lamps, a tall figure with a height of two meters, dragging a long shadow, walked stiffly towards the Cathy and the others.
