Chapter 77 I Will Be a Millionaire

After Claire changed the script to a western story, the location became a place that needed to be carefully chosen.

America has its poor and its slums.But a field of low bungalows, the houses are not even made of bricks, and the road between the bungalows is muddy. Such a scene is not very easy to find.There are no such slums in America.Or there used to be, but not now.

There are still a lot of poor people in the United States, and they are also concentrated in fixed areas. Therefore, there are slums in the United States, but they don’t look dilapidated like the slums in other parts of the world.America's poor are flocking to the suburbs.

What Clare wants to shoot is not such a sparse one-story slum with American characteristics, she wants to find an image that is generally suitable for all countries.

So after a long period of investigation between her and the set designer, they finally found the filming location she wanted.

Coincidentally, the filming location is also in Los Angeles, California. It is hard to imagine that in the most luxurious and wealthy place in the United States, there is such a backward place with more than 6000 homeless people living here.California has the largest number of billionaires in the world, and it also has the opposite of the chicness of spending a lot of money.

Claire is very emotional about the people of this place.

With the collapse of the economic bubble, bankrupt and unemployed people have gradually joined here.But the homeless wanderers here are either active or passive, and most of them have lost the motivation to struggle.This is the bottom of the society, the most chaotic place, no education, no medical conditions, some are fighting fiercely, some are gang crimes.

Life here is bleak.

Once upon a time, her living conditions were not much different from those here.

Nina said that Leonardo came from the bottom, but Leonardo was a famous child actor in his teens.And it took her more than 20 years to break free from this shackles.

Without education, without movies, how could she get out of this huge quagmire.

She is full of emotions, and this movie also brings her own insights and wishes. It means a lot to her.

------------

She and the set designer were quite satisfied with the environment, no need for more decoration, just its dilapidated and chaotic scene is enough for the background.

David's script was finally corrected belatedly after Claire had found all the personnel.

After reading the script, Claire patted him on the shoulder: "You are such a genius."

David: "No, I'm not, now my body has been hollowed out by you, and there is hope that we will never see each other again..."

The script that David painstakingly revises is hardly the same as the previous script in terms of theme.

The hero, the heroine, and the hero's brother have lived in the slums since childhood.The male protagonist was strong and reliable when he was a child. He started by collecting waste products, and then sold soap boxes. Step by step, he became a well-known department store in the local area. Relying on the steady progress in the early stage, he caught up with a new wave of policy, and finally turned the department store Supermarkets became department stores and millionaires.His personality is no different from his childhood personality, full of hope for life and never tainted by haze.

The elder brother who was separated from the hero when he was young is still fighting fiercely, bullying the weak, and making ends meet.

The heroine, who was separated from the two brothers, still relies on the gang boss through the flesh and blood business.

When the three of them grew up, they were very happy to meet each other.

The male protagonist asked them to live with him, but the male protagonist's brother said that he could not adapt to working life at all and rejected him.The heroine has always had a crush on the hero, but she was too ashamed to tell about her experiences over the years, so she also rejected him.

The male protagonist asked the reason suspiciously.

The older brother of the male protagonist feels that he is not good at anything, he can't even settle accounts for his younger brother, and he feels ashamed to be inferior to his younger brother.And he doesn't like the feeling of working for others at all. This kind of reckless life and happy life is what he wants.

The actor's brother kept mocking him: "I'm just a bastard that everyone hates, and I will make your company stink. Even if you want to support me, can you support me forever? Don't be kidding, And I don't care about your stinky money."

The actor's brother has been assimilated by the life in the slums, and he cannot accept the actor's way of life.

The hero persuaded him earnestly: "You are my brother, I have always respected you. Brother, it is wrong for you to fight all day long, no matter it is moral or legal. Come with me and integrate into society."

The elder brother became angry with the thief: "I can't help you, the thief's son will always be a thief, and no one can escape."

The younger brother objected: "No, look at me, I have never stolen."

The elder brother said: "I don't regard you as my younger brother at all. You are born to be a person who doesn't fit in with the people around you. You make me feel uncomfortable!"

The younger brother felt that his elder brother was dying of illness, so the conversation broke up unhappy.

The younger brother couldn't imagine that the elder brother who loved him since childhood and helped him turned into such a social scum after 20 years, even their brotherhood had to be refuted.Obviously, after their mother was killed in the chaos, the two were homeless. It was the elder brother who asked the younger brother to go out and beat others in the face.

After the two were separated, the younger brother went to work, and the older brother joined the gang in order to make a living and stability in the slums, and robbery gradually became the norm in life.

The younger brother was so sad. The kind and brave elder brother whom he was so proud of taught him turned into a stranger who was full of bad words, withdrawn and surly, hated the rich and hated the work.

He turned to persuade the heroine. Although the heroine is used to this kind of life, her bones have not been corroded.At this time, she is in the transition period from the initial shame and low self-esteem of prostitution to getting used to it.

The arrival of the male protagonist saved her who was in the mud.

The hero is the soul of the whole movie.He is brave and firm, optimistic in poverty, and strong in wealth.

A male protagonist brother and a female protagonist should have fallen into degeneration and completely fell into the curse of the slums.

However, due to the appearance of the leading actor and their own characteristics, these two people have two completely different endings.

In real life, it depends on your own choice to save yourself like the hero, to rely on others to rescue you, and to be assimilated to the point where no one can save the hero's brother, and to regard the previously sniffy remarks as the standard.

After all, there are very few people like the hero who can save you, and there are too many invisible shackles and cages in life that you can't perceive.

It's all up to you.

Claire was so satisfied with the new script that she even gave David a [-]% salary increase.

Screenwriters generally finish writing the script, and their salary will be increased by 20.00% to [-]% to express condolences for their hard work. This is also an unspoken rule in the industry.

Now Claire only gave him ten percent, so David had a new understanding of her stinginess.Claire waved her hand: "This has added another layer of debt to me." David felt a little embarrassed when he heard her words, and felt that he was too snobbish and didn't consider the director's difficulties at all.

He shyly accepted the salary.It wasn't until he walked out of the door that he realized: "...No, it's not my fault. Why should I feel sorry? After all, I'm at a disadvantage!"
