Money or money is still a trivial matter. Like Hallie, she talked to herself about the real-time stock market, who could bear it. Song Ya severely rebuked her the next day, but a phone call at the close of the day was inevitable. This situation lasted for half a month, and finally stopped after her fresh energy gradually passed.
"Probably that's it. The plot is not complicated, but there are a lot of songs and dances, so dance instructions are very important."
At night, the office of the president of A+ Records was brightly lit. Song Ya handed the printed first version of the script to Yeremov. Taraji, Hayden, and two gunmen screenwriters were also present, a forty-year-old white man. He and a black man in his thirties are both men, and they are not cheap. They are among the top batch of gunners who are willing to remain anonymous.
The black screenwriter was added later. In order to help modify the dialogue between the protagonist and his friends, he must not use too much Chicago black slang according to Song Ya’s original idea, which would make the foreign audiences fall into the clouds and fog, and not lose the taste of the street. , This is a street dance movie after all.
"Looking for a dance means that it is very late. Of course, if you really want to make this movie, you have to increase the amount of dance training."
Yeremov shook his head. The A+ Records Publicity Director picked up his old career in production and suddenly became more confident and directly took over the leadership of small meetings. "Okay, I believe everyone here has seen it. The script has been written more than once. Today, we will make it simple again. We will bring up our respective issues and brainstorm. Those areas still need to be revised. If you have anything to say, Mr. APLUS can withstand the blow."
They and Song Ya both laughed, "Let me just talk about it first." Yeremov didn't take the initiative when seeing the two screenwriters, and pointed to the opening paragraph in the script and asked: "Are there any considerations for the opening of this movie? He is too much like a MV. Now, the time for Showmethemoney is a bit slow."
"In the tall dance practice room, there is a ballet dancer in tight clothes and a street dancer in a messy street. The contrast between the two different scenes suggests two different classes. One belongs to the rich, introverted, and stereotyped female protagonist. , Refusing to change, a poor man, publicity, free movement, and full of vitality like a male protagonist."
Song Ya answered.
"It's not bad. This is a pavement for a series of drama conflicts caused by the differences in personality and cognition between the men and women behind because of the family environment and life philosophy." The white screenwriter put his hand to his mouth and said.
The black screenwriter also nodded, "I also think that the title is very relevant. The one side represented by the street dance and the other represented by the ballet, from not understanding each other, to conflict, and finally merged into a performance at the end of the film, echoed before and after."
"But it's still a bit..." Yeremov was not easily persuaded, and made a mark on the script. "This paragraph will be polished after the director is in place."
"guide……"
The black screenwriter looked at Song Ya in surprise, "Don't you really want to make a movie APLUS? There are so many dance scenes in this show, investment is indispensable."
"Why should I hire you if you don't make it into a movie!?" Song Ya replied quietly.
"It's time to shoot some small productions and practice hands." The white screenwriter asked Yeremov with a smile, "didn't you persuade him?"
Yeremov made a gesture of wiping his neck.
"My main concern is APLUS in terms of human design." The black screenwriter said: "Ngers from three poor families smashed the glass of the art school and stole the car. This kind of plot will not be liked by African-Americans."
"I think so." Taraji echoed.
Yeremov and the white editor also nodded.
Song Ya thought for a while, and indeed, the starring in the original movie was a white man, and the black people did not have any sensitive thoughts about these things with two black people, but didn't he want to be the leading role? So the editor was asked to write all three as black, and the question suddenly appeared, "I have to change it, how to say?"
"It doesn't matter if you smash the glass, car stealing can be changed to a relatively low crime level, such as...er, such as..." The black screenwriter didn't think of a suitable replacement plot for a long time. Obviously, it was written as robbery, trafficking, etc. Serious, and acts such as petty theft or bullying are more destructive than car stealing, not to mention that car stealing is also associated with a large plot before and after.
Setting the character background is a deep knowledge. The car is a dead thing. The discomfort of the audience watching the protagonist stealing the car is far lower than that of directly grabbing someone else's 20 dollars, although the value of a car is much higher than two. Ten knives do not know how many times.
The protagonist and his two partners are young people from slums and idlers. The movie must show the ubiquitous criminal life of the low-level youths who cannot get rid of the mud, but also cannot make the audience feel too much disgust.
It is very difficult to grasp this degree. The original movie has been set up very balanced. After a little change in the character setting, it will affect the whole body. In the original movie, the protagonist is a white man. It is not easy for the audience to steal the car with the white man. The association of ethnic crime rate is replaced by all black car stealing...
It is true that the black crime rate is high, but it cannot be photographed so straightforwardly. At that time, the black group will definitely attract a lot of scolding, not to mention that they have black ancestry, and they will be scolded more fiercely, ethnic traitors black skin and white heart. It must be indispensable.
And it can't please white people.
"How about changing the protagonist's friend to white?" Yeremov suggested.
"Change to white people? No, it will appear to be inconsistent with reality. The protagonist’s partners are two brothers. Changing one means that their family background must be changed. Then how do you make the plot of the death of the younger brother?" The two screenwriters Grieved.
It seems that even with the apocalypse of the whole movie, there is still a long way to go before the actual copy of the finished product. "I will replace my brother with a white man and give the protagonist's family back to their brothers."
Song Ya came up with the idea that the original white male protagonist was an orphan and lived in an adoptive family appointed by a welfare agency. That kind of adoptive family adopted children only for the subsidy of the welfare agency, and often adopted more than one, but for children who were not related by blood. Our education is naturally laissez-faire.
Therefore, there are occasional whites in black neighborhoods ganging up behind blacks, which is based on reality. In addition to this kind of adoption family, some impoverished white families who are unable to move out of slums where there are more and more black people have to let their children grow up in this environment, and they will become hip-hop like the original movie hero. Dressed up, smashing glass with black companions in a black accent, stealing cars, dancing hip-hop, the kind of people who have no sense of time.
"What about the protagonist's white sister?" the white screenwriter asked.
"Change to black." Song Ya said, "Just put the protagonist’s family background to my real family, copy everything from my aunt and sister. The protagonist’s two friends live in an adoptive family, so there is no blood relationship. White, my brother is black."
"That's the question again. What about the gag lines that the white brother is in charge of?" The black screenwriter was unhappy. "Those lines will be tasteless from the white mouth, and what about his personal settings that are expected to be in professional basketball?"
In the original movie, the protagonist was a dull white man who was not good at speech. Song Ya also continued this point. Just like what Escobe did in the movie of The Street Boy, the singer crossed the boundary for the first time. It is best not to try that A role that requires a high level of acting skills, this kind of dull and dull person is very helpful to cover up their unprofessional acting skills.
So his black friends are naturally responsible for the babbling and funny parts, just like Eddie Murphy has always done in movies, and he plays basketball very well, which is also in line with the usual stereotype.
"Black people talk and talk slang and gag. This is a stereotype, right?" Song Ya asked, "I remember a movie last year that white people could also jump in, so I tried to flip this stereotype. White people are dull and black people are shrewd. The whites dunk, and the blacks collected money. This anti-traditional characterization effect was unexpectedly good, and the box office proved this."
"Didn't you dislike that movie?" Taraji asked.
"Don't interrupt Taraji, I just don't like the actor Wesley Streep." Song Ya said: "But the movie itself is very desirable, and his performance is also impeccable."
"Okay~www.wuxiaspot.com~ The white companion is responsible for gagging, you are responsible for basketball masters, and hip-hop masters." Everyone chatted enthusiastically and set the tone.
"If you change this way, the character of the protagonist's sister will be a bit cumbersome." Yeremov began to talk about the third question. "Since the protagonist's family background has changed, some conversations with her sister will have to be drastically deleted. ."
"Yes, change it." Song Ya nodded, "Continue to publish the second edition, but don't be too self-assertive." He doesn't want to change the original film beyond recognition, then the box office will be difficult to tell, although she does not know the film Whether it was successful in another time and space, but his intuition should be good.
"No, you are the one who pays." The script was customized as requested by the funder, and the two screenwriters had no opinion.
The discussion around the first version of the script continued until late at night. After Yeremov and the two screenwriters were sent away, Taraji took the jacket and helped Song Ya put it on. "Do you really want to shoot it?" She ask.
"When did you see me doing something without purpose?" Song Ya asked back.
"Well, the script is very good."
Taraji turned off the office lights, and the two of them walked to the elevator. "You can see that you have written a lot of life in it, such as the paragraph of Charity Theron." She asked: "You will take the heroine Give it to her?"
Not knowing the existence of Apocalypse, she reversed the causal relationship between the two things, Song Ya shook her head, "I have asked Amy to practice more."
"But the heroine won't be 100% hers, right?"
"Of course, this is my first movie. It must not be screwed up, otherwise I will become the laughingstock of Hollywood."
"Can the black female protagonist girlfriend give me the supporting role?" Taraji asked suddenly.
"What?"
"I learned acting at Howard University."
"Stop making trouble..."
