Views:

Thomas Leméngde shook his comedy with a step from the script pile:

"How about this, "The President's Landing". (Please keep in mind the free novel) Device: No *, full text, more"

A ridiculous comedy about the 2008 Vice President of the United States. During his visit to the Middle East, the plane was crashed and forced to land in Afghanistan. As a result, he encountered a Chinese nv reporter in an enemy-occupied area. Forced to single-handedly arrest

Mai Weijian let out a "chick" from his teeth, and asked indifferently, "Is this kind of commercial comedy too vulgar? Do you think famous directors are willing to shoot? At least I don't want to. Go and make this stupid."

Thomas Ray Méngde is just a professor, and he is still a little less confident than those in the industry like Mai Weijian, so Yin can only put down the script of "The President's Landing" with a calm face.

Nonsensical comedy movies like this type are the genre that Hollywood is known to be the best at. There are countless shoddy movies every year, and it is also the genre with the highest concentration of bad movies.

However, if you analyze it carefully, top actors like Adam Sandler and Kim Kelly made their debut with this kind of film. The reason Thomas Ray Méngde did not directly refute it is that he is not confident of finding top stars to star in this absurdity. comedy.

To tell the truth, this outline plot is indeed very creative and easy to shoot, but the actors are a big problem. Yang Xiuya can indeed play this wise and brave Chinese nv reporter, but the vice president Yang Can thinks about it, only Tim. Allen can perform, but Tim Allen's schedule is already in the next year.

The content is very funny, the story is very beautiful, maybe one day it will be made into a movie, but it is definitely not now, the film screenwriter can construct the story itself in an unconstrained manner, but as a producer, Yang Can must thoroughly consider the entire film production process.

This plot is almost unsolvable, Yang Can finally sighed and came to this conclusion.

"I think this biographical film written by a Chinese student in San Francisco is very good. It is extremely authentic and highly detailed. It has reached a high level of art. It can be regarded as a jingle in the same type of film.

"What are you kidding about, such a full-life movie, even if I shoot it, it won’t have much commercial interest. This nv student finally entered a small supermarket business, not the mayor of Los Angeles. There is no legend. "Xing's movie is true and it is not attractive."

"Isn’t it better than the bāng ball legend that you picked for this movie? The story is jingcai. Because the nv people refused to discriminate against hun and became a pitcher in the boys’ college team, they actually entered the mlbbāng ball league and became a professional. Golfer, it's just a copy of Jeremy Lin's story. Is it too unrealistic?"

"What is reality? Is the art of not making money called reality? Just this script, I add Yang Xiuya and give me 30 million investment, and I can guarantee that I can guarantee a 100 million dollar house."

"Make money? You want to make money, why don't you go directly to Wall Street~"

Thomas Ray Méngde and Mai Weijian are both stinky and hard-tempered. They have different perspectives on evaluating a good movie. Chung-tough battles are constantly escalating. The script is also discussed from one section to the next, and there is no such thing as a red face. Both were satisfied with the result at the same time.

This is the reason why Yang Can asked them to come at the same time, an American screenwriter and a top director in China. They represent the conflict between the two cultures of China and the United States. If both of them can pass, it means that they will reach the point of fusion of the two cultures. , Then it can be considered as passing, the previous "Feng Shen Bang" also adopted this model.

Knowing that the time is almost the same, Yang Can narrowed his mouth, picked up the script of the one in the corner that he felt was the most satisfactory, and threw it to the two people who had already quarreled with blushing necks and thick necks: "I think this story is not bad. Take a look."

"Chinese wife?"

After reading this ordinary name, Mai Weijian and Thomas Leméngde didn’t want to pick up the script. Obviously, they had no interest in this story that they hadn’t seen just now. The structure of the story can be discussed.

Realizing that both of them were a little tired, they couldn't see clearly. Christina volunteered to raise her hand and said, "Principal, can you describe the script? I think it will be more efficient."

Yang Can smiled and nodded. Christina looked excited. It seemed that she really loved to turn over the script. If she hadn't come to her office in advance to sort out the script, she would not let her see it in advance if she saw that she was reading the script.

I saw Christina using her actor's charismatic manner to stand up happily, and began to introduce the plot very contagiously:

"This story took place in a public university in California. Our male protagonist Ross is an otaku freak in the law class. The nv kid spurned by the superb nerd who is often bullied by others~~" Christina's rich expression amused Yang Can.

"This kind-hearted nerd, Rose, was beaten up by football captain McGrady again one afternoon, and he was very depressed while sitting on the grass bench on campus. At this time, he felt that his life was gray, and life was for him. Too cruel suddenly~ At this time someone handed him a scented Chanel handkerchief. He looked up, wow~~ A gentle and lovely person, Dongfangmei nv looked at him with a pitying face~

OMG~Angel~Dream lover~Xing stunner~Marilyn Menglu went down to earth, all these adjectives popped out of Rose's mind in an instant~

In short~ He feels that his time has come to work~ Life has ignited hope again, yes, he finally mustered up the courage to try to get close to the oriental beauty nv who descended from the angel, and to his own surprise, the one who was the most in the academy The popular, hottest, and gentlest Chinese beauty nvjiāo changed her life, and she agreed to the invitation to date with him in one fell swoop..."

Christina was telling the story with eloquence, but after a long time, everyone didn't respond. She couldn't help feeling a little strange, and couldn't help but pause, looking at the three men opposite.

The two old men, Mai Weijian and Thomas Leméngde, were obviously both fascinated by the four charming blonde beauty in front of them. Their attitudes were constantly changing. They were a little stunned, and both coughed in embarrassment. He immediately said calmly:

"Well... I think this story is actually very ordinary, even a little bit emotional. It seems to be the plot in the féi soap opera."

Thomas Ray Méngde also reacted in the same way, putting away his embarrassment, and trying his best to express his professional tone: "I also think the story is a little bit old-fashioned. Even my high school son can write such a script."

"Yes so far, but I didn't seem to introduce the identity of the protagonist of nv?" Christina suddenly blinked her big smart eyes, as if satisfied with the reaction of the two big men, she slowed down her tone. Word by word:

"Our lovely nv protagonist Irene, his true identity is actually the only nv of the Hong Kong gang boss..."

Thomas Leméngde obviously adjusted his eyebrows, and a change of identity brought the whole story to life.

"Eileen was forced to study law at the University of Hong Kong because of the force of his Hong Kong parents. Her huge gang members are expecting her to become a legal counsel in the organization in the future, so as to expand and allow them to do better. But our nv My child’s real dream is much greater~~ She wants to be a top fashion designer."

Although Mai Weijian felt that using a great dream to describe the profession of a fashion designer, I am afraid that only an nv child like Christina would do something, but his interest was really hooked, and he guessed with his chin on:

"So this Irene should be a very assertive nv kid. Could it be that she applied to come to the United States for a jiāo replacement for a very special purpose? Maybe she found a very persuasive and obedient one while doing the jiāo replacement. American silly man gets a green card from fake marriage, and then leads the life he wants

Obviously, through observation for a period of time, most of the male students at the University of California are smart people, and the only kind and insufferable male protagonist Rose, who has the least kills, meets her conditions, and naturally becomes her ideal. the goal? "

Originally wanted to surprise the big director Mai Weijian, the blonde beauty nv, opened his mouth slightly, glanced at the script again, and said in surprise: "Exactly correct Director Mai, you have already seen the script?"

Thomas Lei Méngde smiled next to him: "This is probably the only reasonable plot that is not too out of logic. I really can't think of a second explanation." After speaking, he couldn't help but look at Mai Wei with great admiration. Jian, as a director, it may not be difficult to think of such a plot, but it is impossible to think of it in such a short period of time.

Yang Can also smiled in his heart. Thomas Leméngde is indeed very remarkable, but Mai Weijian can be called a genius. If it is not for his temper and his life is messed up, the outside world would also comment on him. It won't be as high or low as it is now.

Christina began to continue her eloquent script:

"In this way, under Irene's tactics, after a school trip in Las Vegas, Rose became confused with her as a legal couple, but returned to school afterwards, and even Irene did not kiss Rose to find out. I was deceived. Irene simply wanted to use him. The stubborn Rose had only her self-esteem trampled on. He had a fierce dispute with Irene. Sadly, Rose vowed to divorce Irene during college, absolutely not. Let her get her green card and become a real American citizen."

Slowly, Mai Weijian and Thomas Ray Méngde gradually shifted their attention from the blonde beauty nv to the story itself. In the middle of the plot, just imagine the joy of such a kung fu master gangster princess and the dumb otaku from the law department. Enemy combination is so beautiful

Originally, this was just a typical Qingchun campus comedy, but the story stretched out, and they discovered that it was more than that. Rose and Irene, a fake couple with diametrically opposite identities, naturally made a lot of jokes on campus. , But surprisingly, there are quite a lot of touching plots inside.

For example, under the protagonist of nv using the Chinese style of being a husband, the male protagonist slowly grows and becomes strong. From the beginning, Irene helped Rose to teach the football captain. Rose later confronted the tall football captain himself, in a scuffle, with The legal language frightened the other party and gradually gained respect from the students.

And Ross’s originally broken big family became happy because of the appearance of a Chinese daughter-in-law Fu, Irene. They each emphasized that their relatives and friends learned from the traditional Irene’s important family, that couple all day long. The quarreling elder brothers and sisters-in-law realized that to be tolerant to each other can only feel the emotion of each other's deep love, and the divorced parents slowly regained their old ji.

"At the same time, Irene slowly felt the kindness of this American family member, and Rose's parents gradually repelled the stereotyped impression of China from the beginning, and began to like this daughter-in-law from China, Christina, who described it very touchingly here. An exclamation:

"Are all Chinese nv kids so good? I'm so jealous, this character is simply too bāng..." The regret was overwhelming. Of course, she regretted that she definitely had no hope of performing Irene. Now she But Niandu alone is already addicted to drama.

"This should be the node of the second act, it is indeed very well written." Mai Weijian's tricky mouth could say such a thing, but Thomas Lei Méngde was also a little surprised. Of course, I have to admit that this story is super deep. As much as they expected.

The most important thing for the movie is that the three acts are all well-known, but now both of them feel that even if the third act is unsatisfactory, it can be regarded as the best script they have heard today.

But obviously Christina's pride in her eyes is not just because of this very innovative second act.

"After these eliminations in life and campus, our lovely two protagonists, Irene and Rose, even though they started to realize that they really fell in love with each other, they were always reluctant to admit it. Who told them to talk too much at the beginning? Ruthless

Rose even said to his friends that if I really like this violent Chinese girl, he will cut off his eggs.

Seeing that they are about to graduate, Rose’s divorce lawsuit is about to begin. Rose himself is struggling whether he wants to withdraw the complaint. At this time, a campus shooting happened suddenly. The méng face shooter rushed into the classroom to sweep innocent people. Student~

In a great crisis, the timid Rose wanted to be a hero in order to save Irene, but fell in embarrassment because of his lack of skill, and was shot in the foot by the gangster. Irene showed her agility. Protecting him in times of difficulty, he subdued the crazy South Korean campus shooters, and saved his classmates, including the son of a California congressman, Jonathan. "

"It's a good part of the scene. It happens to be the Korean perverted killer who swept the school campus before she." Thomas Leméngde nodded his head repeatedly, with light in his eyes. As a screenwriter, of course he was cleverly designed. Locally, the audience is not a fool. If the shooter in the design campus is a white student, it will greatly reduce his persuasiveness. If he is black, he may face accusations of racial discrimination.

The Korean man is really appropriate, and Rose's embarrassment contrasts sharply with Irene's heroic actions, which adds a lot of convincing power to the originally overly exaggerated incident.

And Mai Weijian didn't say anything, just listened to Christina's explanation in jingling attentively. He was looking forward to the big turning point in the third act, which is the most finishing touch in the whole movie.

"After the shooting, Irene naturally became a hero on campus. The student union even held a party to celebrate Irene’s birthday. At the party, Rose, who was embarrassed in the shooting, was secretly laughed at by everyone and walked behind. In the huā garden, Rose, who had drunk, took out the wedding ring he had already prepared in the moonlight and looked at it, secretly determined that he must formally confess his heart to Irene tonight."

Christina is completely brought into the plot here, and she is also worried about Rose, her tone is a little nervous.

"Walking to the swimming pool, he saw a scene that made him worry. The most handsome boy in the school, Jonathan, the son of a congressman, presented Irene with a diamond necklace and pursued Irene. Jonathan heard it. Rose was in the shooting. The conversation with Irene knew that they were fake marriages, but he didn't mind.

Jonathan’s graceful manner made Rose feel ashamed of himself. He turned and left without seeing Irene hesitate. At the most critical moment, éngde who rejected Jonathan almost jumped out the same word: "Continue~"

The irritable voice was so loud that Christina was startled, and she quickly calmed her emotions.

"At the moment when Irene was suffering, another blow came one after another. The U.S. Immigration Service investigated and made things difficult for her, and accused her of fraud on the grounds of her gang, depriving her of the right to become a U.S. citizen. She was kicked by Irene before. Jonathan in the swimming pool appears as an avenger, as a key witness in the fraud case.

Ross, our hun ball, Ross finally has a place to use it. His head that remembers all the legal provisions finally played a miraculous effect. He found out the advantages of the law and Irene’s long-term provisions, and knelt down on one knee in the court. He proposed to marry him again after preparing the ring, and said a period of proclaiming true love in the heart.

The scene was so full that it finally moved the jury."

The script hasn’t been read yet, and both Mai Weijian and Thomas Leméngde can’t wait to rush up to grab the script and shout: "I’ll read it first~"
