Hollywood Production

Chapter 5: Finalize the first choice

The second day after returning home, Duke unpacked his luggage, went to his mother's advertising company, fetched a typewriter from the office, and set up temporary studio in an empty room on the second floor with a balcony that overlooked the sea. Afterwards, he made some black tea and sat on a rattan chair on the balcony to enjoy the cool sea breeze while he thought about what movie to choose.

A long time has passed since he transmigrated. He doesn't have a computer-like brain, and many things have already become blurred, even those Hollywood movies that he spent a lot of time studying, he still clearly remembers the main plot, but many The details are almost forgotten.

Especially the movies he watched once or twice, he basically only have a very light impression of them, some he can't remember at all.

This limits his options.

In addition, he has shot two experimental films in the past few years, but he has to admit that he has not independently directed any formal film projects and lacks real experience. He is a complete novice. According to his and his mother's perception, the chances of getting a chance are very small, but he needs to shoot the type of film he is best at to give himself some hope.

In that case, literary and artistic films must be excluded first.

There are also horror movies, unfortunately, he was not a horror movie fan, and has only seen a limited number of them.

Lightly clasping the armrest of the chair, Duke's thoughts gradually shifted to the present. Movies are deeply influenced by the social environment. so the movie must be popular and acceptable to the majority of the audience.

What are the most popular movies in Hollywood today? Romantic romance and hot action movies!

The former can also be thrown away, while the latter... Duke's mind immediately thought of the names and general plots of several movies.

After careful research, he has concluded that these action films are the most suitable choices, based on the direction of the plot, the language of the shots, the acting skills of the actors, the lighting and scenery, post-editing, dubbing and soundtracking.

After drinking the black tea in the cup, Duke walked out of the makeshift studio, made a few appointment calls, and went straight to the Western Association branch of the Writers Guild in Los Angeles. After paying a fee, he checked the current scripts at the Screenwriters Association. Fortunately, they were all archived on the computer, with a clear brief introduction.

After spending an entire afternoon, Duke finally determined that the scripts of several films in his mind were not registered with the Writers Guild, so the chances of a copyright problem is much smaller.

Of course, it's also possible that the script is being written or not registered with the Writers Guild, but even if he get accused in the future, he can say it's just a 'coincidence'.

The rest of the work today is to choose the most suitable film from these options.

It wasn't difficult to make a decision, and Duke had already decided that a film with the least investment was the best fit.

His Mother had a party that night, Duke had dinner alone, went back to the studio on the second floor, sat in front of the typewriter, tried hard to recall a film that he had studied as a model, and gradually sorted out his thoughts.

The structure of this film is very simple, the theme is also very simple, even the name has only one word - "Speed"!

This is one of the most classic Hollywood action films of the 1990s, even though the investment for this movie is a little high, it is still low compared to the other action movies.

Fortunately, the Soviet Union has not disintegrated, Bill Clinton has not yet come to power, and even though the dollar has been depreciating, it is not as bad as a few years later.

Even so, this will be a movie with an investment of more than ten million dollars.

Shaking his head, Duke let out a long sigh and struck the first letter of the typewriter.

As he said to his mom, hope is indeed slim, but if you work hard, there may be a little chance of success, if you don't do it, there is really no chance.

"Only people with perseverance can create extraordinary achievements!"

Duke thinks this statement makes perfect sense.

For more than a week, Duke forget his financial troubles and worries about the future, and devoted all his heart and energy to put together a detailed script outline.

In this way, Duke has a pre-made template. Next, he only needs to fill in the blanks, and then a standard Hollywood-style commercial script can be obtained.

Even if there are many details that he has forgotten, the streamlined script writing can still be filled with suitable paragraphs.

If you want to have any chance of success, you need to make your script conform to Hollywood's operating mode and aesthetic standards. As a newcomer with no name, being innovative will only set you back.
