Screenwriter Mystery

New York, Universal Studios Building.

​​

Faced with the idea of ​​a superhero script proposed by Zhao Yuan, Ron Mayer's expression was a little surprised, but he felt that everything was reasonable.

​​

With the release of the movie "Smart: Ghost Story" and the box office hit.

​​

Zhao Yuan has established a well-deserved identity in 'pseudo-documentary' movies.

​​

Anyone who mentions "pseudo-documentary" can think of the first name, it is him.

​​

After all, from "Blair Witch" to "Smart: Ghost Recording", which was just released not long ago, and "Modern Family", which is still broadcast on abc TV, and will soon usher in the finale of its first season.

​​

If the success of a work can be classified as luck.

​​

Then, the successes made one after another in the film of the same theme are enough to prove that Zhao Yuan, at least in the aspect of 'pseudo-documentary', does have a direct uniqueness.

​​

"It's just, 'pseudo-documentaries' and superhero movies."

​​

Ron Mayer just couldn't connect the two themes.

​​

"In fact, it's very simple. The most important thing about 'pseudo-documentary' is to create a sense of presence for the audience, so that the audience who is watching the movie can unknowingly be brought into the documentary, thinking that what they are watching is not a movie, but a documentary. In this way, if you choose those well-known superheroes, after all, there will be a certain level of estrangement. After all, the audience who enters the theater to watch the movie will unconsciously bring the characters in the comics into their minds..."

​​

"However, in this regard, if the object of superheroes is chosen as superheroes that really exist in the real world, this problem can be well avoided."

​​

"what do you mean?"

​​

Being able to become the vice president of Universal Pictures' film and television distribution department, Ron Mayer is naturally not a rigid existence.

​​

Therefore, the next second after hearing Zhao Yuan's explanation.

​​

Ron Mayer reacted.

​​

Zhao Yuan planned to bring the script's settings to those three 'superheroes'.

​​

"Based on reality."

​​

"This idea is simply..."

​​

Hearing the idea proposed by Zhao Yuan, even Ron Mayer couldn't help but want to clap his hands.

​​

The whole Hollywood is madly pursuing superhero themes because of the appearance of real superheroes.

​​

However, it was overlooked that among the many superheroes, the most eye-catching ones were precisely the three superheroes in rough uniforms.

​​

Compared with the superheroes of those comic ips, the three superheroes may be inconspicuous, and even if they are placed in the comics, they will only appear as dragon-type 'superheroes' to set off the aura of the protagonist. However, all this, in the real situation, is obviously very different.

​​

As the 'superheroes' that really exist in reality, even if the three of Andrew are inconspicuous, once they are put on the big screen, the topicality caused by them is absolutely unprecedented.

​​

It's not uncommon in Hollywood to script real people into screenplays.

​​

Hollywood has many beautifying films with real characters as the theme, but this kind of material selection is often based on adaptations of some already well-known characters or stories. Like Zhao Yuan, the practice of adapting films to themes that happened in the real world not long ago, It is still quite rare, and it is usually shot in the form of a documentary.

​​

"Just, is this possible?"

​​

After sighing about Zhao Yuan's unrestrained script ideas, Ron Mayer calmed down, but he was inevitably worried.

"After all, they are superheroes in the real world. If the movie we shoot does not meet their intentions and anger them, Universal has no power to resist their anger."

​​

On the one hand, Ron Mayer expressed his anticipation for the filming of real-life superheroes, but on the other hand, he was worried about the problems that might arise when the film was actually filmed.

​​

He had seen the news reports that those superheroes could lift a car with a slight wave of their arms.

​​

Ron Mayer doesn't think the Universal Building can withstand the wrath of superheroes.

​​

"We just borrowed their backgrounds, and we didn't really shoot documentaries."

​​

Zhao Yuan comforted the concerns expressed by Ron Mayer.

​​

"Don't forget, what we are shooting is a 'pseudo-documentary'. Although it bears the name of a documentary, it is only a fictional film. If you are a superhero, you are dissatisfied with the fictional plot of a film, and even make a movie. Dangerous move, then they're not superheroes, they're super criminals."

​​

On the surface, Zhao Yuan used the 'pseudo-documentary' as an excuse to comfort Ron Mayer.

​​

But in fact, if the one who is least afraid of 'Andrew' is the creator of his script.

​​

After all, judging from the previous contact with the characters in the script, in the eyes of the characters, Zhao Yuan, who created the script, is equivalent to the existence of the creator.

​​

This is also true for the spirit occupying Andrew's body.

​​

However, he, the creator, actually wanted to take advantage of the popularity of the plot characters and use their popularity to shoot movies.

​​

In some respects, it is also somewhat mystical.

​​

"Of course, if Universal is really worried, you can also find those superheroes and ask for their approval, provided you can find them."

​​

Looking for superheroes to solicit likeness rights for their films?

​​

Such advice, even to Ron Mayer, was somewhat odd.

​​

As Zhao Yuan said ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ where is he going to meet these three superheroes.

​​

So, in the office, after a few minutes of hesitation.

​​

Ron Mayer finally gritted his teeth and made a decision.

​​

"Just as you said, Zhao, shoot a 'pseudo-documentary' movie of superheroes."

​​

Looking at Ron Mayer who looked like he was going out in front of him, Zhao Yuan couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth and asked while holding back a smile.

​​

"Aren't you afraid that superheroes will trouble you, Ron?"

​​

"As you said, this is a 'pseudo-documentary', a fictional plot of a movie."

​​

Throwing Zhao Yuan's consolation back, Ron Mayer used this method to convince himself.

​​

Of course, it was different from Zhao Yuan's calmness when he knew that 'Andrew' could not hurt him.

​​

The reason why Ron Mayer is still willing to let Zhao Yuanyuan write the script when he knows that shooting this movie may be "dangerous".

​​

Naturally, it is clear that once such a movie proposed by a superhero is actually filmed, it will definitely make a steady profit at the box office, or even explode.

​​

Under such an attractive prospect, it was difficult for Ron Mayer to say no to Zhao Yuan.

​​

"Perhaps, we should make some preparations, such as putting a reminder at the end of the movie that everything is fictional."
