screenwriter mystery

Chapter 197 Prototypes
New York, Universal Studios Building.

Facing Zhao Yuan's idea of ​​a superhero script, Ron Meyer looked a little surprised, but felt that everything was reasonable.

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

Zhao Yuan has established a well-deserved identity in the "pseudo-documentary" style of film.

He is the first name that comes to anyone's mind at the mention of 'pseudo-documentary'.

After all, from "The Blair Witch" to "The Ghost Story" which was released not long ago, and "Modern Family" which is still broadcast on ABC TV and is about to usher in the finale of the first season.

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

Well, the successive achievements in films of the same theme are enough to prove that Zhao Yuan, at least in the aspect of 'pseudo-documentary', does have direct uniqueness.

"Just, 'pseudo-documentary' and superhero movies."

Ron Meyer just couldn't connect the two subjects.

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

"However, at this point, if the object of the superhero is selected as a superhero that actually exists in the real world, then this problem can be well avoided."

"what do you mean?"

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

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

Ron Meyer reacted.

Zhao Yuan intends to bring the setting of the script to the three 'superheroes'.

"Based on reality."

"This idea is simply..."

Hearing Zhao Yuan's idea, even Ron Meyer couldn't help clapping his hands.

The entire Hollywood is frantically pursuing superhero themes because of the emergence of real superheroes.

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

Compared with the superheroes of those comic IPs, the three superheroes may not be very eye-catching, and even if they are placed in the comics, they will only appear as "superheroes" of the type of set-up to set off the aura of the protagonist.However, all of this is obviously very different in the real situation.

As "superheroes" that really exist in reality, even if the three of Andrew are inconspicuous, once they are put on the big screen, the topic they will cause is absolutely unprecedented.

This kind of screenwriting of real characters into movie scripts is not uncommon in Hollywood.

There are many beautified films in Hollywood based on real people. However, this kind of material selection is often to adapt some well-known characters or stories. Like Zhao Yuan, the method of adapting movies on themes that happened not long ago in the real world, It is still quite rare, and it is usually shot in the form of a documentary.

"Just, is it possible?"

After lamenting Zhao Yuan's unconstrained script ideas, Ron Meyer calmed down, but he inevitably became worried.

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

On the one hand, Ron Meyer expressed his expectation for making realistic superheroes into movies, but on the other hand, he was worried about possible problems when the movie was actually shot.

He had seen news reports that those superheroes could set off a car with a light wave of their arms.

Ron Meyer didn't think the Universal Building could withstand the wrath of superheroes.

"We're just drawing on their backgrounds, not really making a documentary."

Regarding the concerns expressed by Ron Meyer, Zhao Yuan spoke to comfort him.

"Don't forget, what we are shooting is a 'pseudo-documentary'. Although it bears the name of a documentary, it is only a fictional movie after all. If you are a superhero just because of the fictional plot of a movie, you are not satisfied, and even dangerous move, then they're not superheroes, they're supercriminals."

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

But in fact, if he is the one who is least afraid of 'Andrew' and others, he is naturally the creator of this script.

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

This is also true for the spirit occupying Andrew.

However, he, the creator, actually wants to counter the popularity of the characters in the plot and use their popularity to make movies.

From a certain point of view, it is also somewhat mysterious.

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

Looking for superheroes for likeness rights to shoot their movies?
Such a suggestion, even for Ron Mayer, was somewhat outlandish.

As Zhao Yuan said, where is he going to meet these three superheroes.

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

Ron Meyer finally gritted his teeth and made a decision.

"Just as you said, Zhao, to make superhero 'pseudo-documentary' movies."

Looking at Ron Meyer, who looked like he was going all out in front of him, Zhao Yuan couldn't help but twitched the corners of his mouth and asked with a suppressed smile.

"Aren't you afraid of superheroes getting in trouble for you, Ron?"

"As you say, it's a 'pseudo-documentary,' a fictionalized plot of the film."

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

Of course, it's different from Zhao Yuan's calmness when he knew that 'Andrew' and the others couldn't hurt him.

The reason why Ron Mayer is still willing to let Zhao Yuan to write the script is because he knows that shooting this movie may cause 'danger'.

Naturally, it is clear that once such a movie proposed by a superhero is actually filmed, it will definitely make money at the box office without losing money, or even explode.

With such an attractive prospect, it is difficult for Ron Meyer to say no to Zhao Yuan.

"Maybe, we should do something, like put a reminder at the end of the movie that everything is fiction."
