You don't understand the happiness of the director

"They and I are just ordinary friends hanging out for fun, but we are the best in the world!"

Wang Quan reassured Dorothy and then said, "And we international students also have their own small circles. It is normal for some of them to hang out in Silicon Valley, but that is not the point. The point is what do you think of my proposal? Is this plan feasible? .”

By promoting real-life escape rooms to become a current trend, and then taking advantage of the situation to launch a movie, it directly entered the theaters based on the popularity.

It's theoretically possible, but it's very difficult. The network of relationships that needs to be mobilized is too huge. Ordinary producers simply can't make such a big splash, but Dorothy is not an ordinary person. Wang Quan took a fancy to this, and he also We won’t stand idly by and do it well. This is a win-win situation, or even a win-win situation for all parties.

"I have a wealthy cousin who runs a chain of haunted houses. He is a suitable partner. However, I need to do some research to make sure there is a market for this real-life escape room. So how far is your script? It should be done in one night. What a good character."

Wang Quan looked at the time and said, "You are sure you want to watch it now. Didn't we make an appointment with J.J. Abrams?"

"Oh, I almost forgot about business, let's go," Dorothy said, "You gave me a new problem. I will not care about you after I send you there. I have to recruit people and investigate the escape room."

Wang Quan, "It's worth the hard work. Maybe someone will help us pay for the movie."

Dorothy thought about that possibility and stepped on the accelerator to the bottom, her heart burning.

Although J.J. Abrams' Bad Robot Pictures is affiliated with Paramount, the company's address is located in the beach resort of Santa Monica. The specific address is 10 Coverlo Drive.

That's right, it's the current name of "The Basement", and J.J. is also very casually named.

Because of the beautiful scenery, there are also many film companies here. Dorothy even thought about opening her company here, but in the end she gave up the idea because it was far away from home.

Although Bad Robot is not a big company, it is much more impressive than Long Zhang. In their conference room, the boss J.J. and his best friend Matt Reeves received Wang Quan and the two.

Although they had imagined it before, Wang Quan's youth and handsomeness still shocked the two old day lilies.

Dorothy introduced them, and King Quan was already very familiar with J.J., who was not tall, but looked very shrewd, and looked very Jewish. As for Matt Reeves.

J.J. introduced, "Matt is the future director and writer of "The Coffolo Files."

Oh, it's the so-called "sequel" to "10 Cover Road". It hasn't been filmed yet, and the script is still being revised.

Wang Quan learned about this director through the film and television library. In the future, he will direct the new version of the "War for the Planet of the Apes" trilogy and Warner's reboot of "The New Batman", which is simply a professional reboot.

Matt and J.J. got acquainted during a film festival in high school and have been good friends for more than 20 years. They made short films together and were hired by Spielberg to restore the film. They also made TV series together. They were considered golden partners. .

Looking at the young Wang Quan, Matt sighed with emotion, "I didn't expect that our ideas would be so close. Young man, what do you think of the apocalyptic disaster?"

Wang Quan, "Suddenly, it must be very sudden. No one is prepared. It is best not to give any hint of the doomsday disaster at all, so that it will be fun."

Matt clapped his hands and said, "Yes, that's it!"

This is the same as what he wrote in "The Coffolo Files". In a joyful atmosphere, disaster suddenly struck, and he immediately started chatting with Wang Quan as if he had met a close friend.

Matt, "The story you wrote is so exquisite, J. J. Do you really not consider inviting such young blood to participate in the writing work of "The Coffolo Files"?"

Dorothy declined directly on behalf of Wang Quan, "Sorry, he is writing a new script and preparing for his second feature film."

Hearing this, J. J. obviously showed regret. He really wanted to bring these two people into the company, but it's a pity. I originally wanted to look at the bright moon, but the bright moon shines in the ditch.

They already knew each other. Dorothy whispered a few words to J. J. and then took the first step. She was too busy.

When she went downstairs, she saw the charming Megan Fox, and the two greeted her familiarly. Dorothy was optimistic about Megan's development, and Megan also felt that Dorothy was worth getting to know.

Of course, Wang Quan is also worth making friends with. Such a young multi-millionaire is also a director with a promising future, but he probably doesn’t want to make friends, he just wants to make friends.

Today is a meeting before the reshoots of "10 Cleveland Lane". Director Wang Quan, actress Megan Fox, producer J.J. Abrams, and Matt Reeves are just watching.

Wang Quan asked, "As for photography, should I still use the original Jason?"

"Unfortunately, he has other jobs now. I have found a new one. His standard will definitely be higher. He will go directly to the set tomorrow."

Wang Quan, "No problem, you are the one paying for it anyway."

Megan asked, "What about the scene? Has it been rebuilt? Will it delay the progress?"

Wang Quan, "Dorothy has made arrangements in advance. She can go to the photo shoot anytime. It will still be the same farm as before."

J. J. looked at Wang Quan, with a sense of taking a test, "Many of the remaining scenes involve special effects. David, do you have any questions in this regard?"

He speculated that an important reason why King Power did not film the real finale was that he did not know how to film special effects scenes.

In J.J.’s eyes, there are no science fiction films in China at all, and the special effects are very primitive and rough. The film schools in China probably don’t teach them how to make science fiction movies. He knows a lot about science fiction. “10 Cloverfield Lane” is better because of the plot and reaction. Turn, it has nothing to do with science fiction.

Wang Quan took out hand-drawn storyboards and detailed design drafts about alien creatures from his backpack. Ever since he knew that he was going to shoot the real finale, Wang Quan has been busy working on this. In order to make the buyer feel that they are worth their money, His design is very rich and even more exciting than the original version.

J. J. took it and looked at it, surprised, "David, have you studied art or design? Your painting is great!"

In the content previously shot by King Quan, the alien spaceship monster was only glimpsed, and there were no details to speak of. The main theme was a hazy beauty.

But in Wang Quan’s current design draft, he has perfectly presented a huge monster with tentacles that looks like both a cold mechanical spaceship and a living thing on paper, and there are even features that are not needed at all. The internal structure that was photographed was also drawn in detail, with data next to it, which looked extremely rigorous.

These can save Matt a lot of effort when filming "Cloverfield" later. This design can be used directly.

This skill may have surpassed that of many painters and designers, and this painting is enough to reflect the artist's science fiction literacy, which no one dares to underestimate.

As the first heroine of King Power, Meghan still knows him very well and is very good at flattering him. "Director Wang is very good at painting and has even published a picture book."

"Oh?" Auditor Matt was surprised, "I knew you were good at writing scripts and had been nominated for an Oscar, but I didn't expect that painting was also at a professional level."

"What, Wang, you were nominated for an Oscar?!" Megan interrupted a little abruptly.

Wang Quan laughed, "The script I wrote before was nominated for Best Original Screenplay, which is not a major award."

Megan, "That's amazing!" And she didn't even know that Wang Quan had written other scripts, and his creative energy was as strong as his physical strength!

Wang Quan was neither arrogant nor impatient and said, "Script writing is indeed my strong point, but that picture album is just a game of doodling. I drew some of the things I usually dream about."

Then he added, "I need to meet with the special effects team. You can't make a good science fiction movie sitting in an office."

J. J.: "Downstairs is the special effects company we often work with. Although they mainly serve TV series, I think it should be enough."

Then they went downstairs together, and Megan followed. She had been in youth movies before, and it was rare to make a science fiction movie. The experience accumulated this time can be used in the subsequent "Transformers".

When he arrived at the special effects company, J.J. watched Wang Quan chatting with the people in the special effects department. It was obvious that he was no stranger to the shooting process of special effects shots.

He still felt that the Chinese film school would definitely not teach this, so it must be taught by the University of Southern California. At this moment, he regretted not working hard to get into the University of Southern California. He and Spielberg had known each other for a long time, and they were both Jewish. , if my grades were better, it shouldn't be difficult to get a letter of recommendation from him.

After all, he is also one of the most famous star alumni of the University of Southern California, and Lao Si still has some respect.

In the end, they agreed to leave tomorrow to complete the re-shooting, which was expected to be completed within three days, and no more than five days at most.

After walking out of the building, Wang Quan looked at the sky and the ground, and finally sighed and looked at Megan Fox, "Can you give me a ride? I'm not driving."

Megan showed a very charming wildcat-like smile, "Oh, so you want to drive my car~"
