Ever since "The Man from Earth" became a hit, Walsin Brothers has gradually fallen into silence.

Fores worked conscientiously to help Lu Yuan manage the company, and would gather some of the company's recent status and arrangements every other week.

For more than half a year, the company has basically represented some well-known Chinese literary and artistic films, as well as some action films.

Although it didn't perform well at the box office, it was basically able to maintain a profitable level.

In half a year, this company brought Lu Yuan about more than two million US dollars in income.

More than two million US dollars, equivalent to more than 10 million yuan, is already a very good level.

After watching the company gradually become profitable and come back to life, Fores's mind suddenly became active.

The fire of directing has not been completely extinguished because of previous failures, but has become more active.

These days, he has been reflecting on the reasons for his failure, and at the same time, he has been observing the film market these days.

Hollywood blockbusters are emerging one after another, new ones are constantly emerging, and old ones are surging.

In fact, he felt eager to try again.

In the past few months, in addition to being an agent for Chinese films and screenings, he has been thinking about a horror script called "Photography Ghost".

American horror films were popular in the past few years, but after the explosion of science fiction blockbusters, the American horror film industry gradually stagnated. Although there were a few horror films released throughout the year, the box office was basically mediocre.

Even in the past two years, none of the horror films have been released in theaters, and even if they were released, they were canceled not long after they were released.

The box office was not ideal.

But Forrest doesn't think this is because of the market.

Forrest thinks this is entirely due to the horror movie itself.

Horror movies need a new approach, instead of pure blood and pure screams...

Therefore, with this idea in mind, he created a script for "Photography Ghost". After much refinement, he felt that if this film could be made, it would definitely not be too bad at the box office.

Although he was very satisfied with his script, Forrest still felt uneasy when he called his boss.

After all, I have a history of failure...

Will the boss give me this opportunity?

Forrest was very uneasy.

"Forrest... please pass the script over and I'll take a look."

"Oh, okay, boss, can I send it to your email?"

"Well, by the way, how much do you expect to invest?"

"Fifty... no, more than two hundred thousand!"

"An investment of more than two hundred thousand dollars?"

"yes."

More than 200,000 US dollars, equivalent to more than one million yuan.

After Lu Yuan did the math, he felt that the price was not expensive and acceptable.

However, after all, your own money is not brought by strong winds. No matter how small the investment is, you still have to read the script, right?

If the script was written in a mess, then Lu Yuan would definitely not be willing to invest in the filming.

After all, Hollywood companies have produced many box-office blockbusters, but also many bad films.

It's just the survivor effect that makes everyone think that Hollywood movies are just awesome and blockbuster movies.

Although Lu Yuan watched "Alien Killing" with gusto before, looking back now...

This movie is an absolute typical example of bad Hollywood movies.

"Okay, send me the script and I'll read it first."

"Okay, thank you boss!"

After hearing that his boss was not unhappy at all, and his voice was very gentle, Forrest immediately felt good. He quickly sent the tens of thousands of words of the script to his boss's mailbox. After sending it, he nervously waited for his boss's review.

.

Lu Yuan opened his mailbox and read the script from the beginning silently after seeing the script called "Photography Ghost"...

Lu Yuan originally thought it was an English script, but Forrest was very careful and made a Chinese script for himself.

The Chinese script Lu Yuan seems to be smooth at that time.

But when he saw half of it, Lu Yuan was stunned!

This "Photography Ghost" is very similar to "The Ghost Story" that Lu Yuan watched a long time ago. Although the plot is slightly different, the techniques and creativity that will be used in it are not far different from "The Ghost Story".

Of course, although this script is good, in Lu Yuan's opinion there is still some gap between it and "The Ghost Story".

It seems to have a lot of flaws, and there are a lot of plot points that Lu Yuan seems to have no need for...

After reading it, Lu Yuan shook his head and downloaded the script to his computer and opened it in Word. At the same time, he modified it according to the description in "The Ghost Story".

I don't know why, Lu Yuan's eyes were dazzled when he read English before, but when Lu Yuan read the script and revised it, his brain worked particularly well and he didn't feel sleepy at the same time.

However, when he thought of some of the plots in "Record of Ghosts", Lu Yuan became terrified, especially in the middle of the night. From time to time, there were gusts of wind blowing from a distance, which was very similar to some scary scenes in the movie.

sound.

In this world, it should be...

There are no ghosts, right?

Lu Yuan shivered, and then when he revised the script, he found that he was feeling more and more.

At about three o'clock in the morning, Lu Yuan sent the revised script to Forrest via email.

After he finished speaking, he stretched.

Then he looked at the time.

Damn it...

Stayed up so late again?

Lu Yuan was so frightened that he lay down on the bed without saying a word.

However, when Lu Yuan lay on the bed, he found that as soon as he closed his eyes, the plot in the script was echoing in his mind.

Then……

He felt that he might have insomnia.

………………………………

It’s three o’clock in the morning China time and eleven o’clock noon in the United States time.

After lunch, Forrest read the script sent by Lu Yuan.

"This, this...oh my god, boss, you...have you changed all my scripts?"

When Forrest opened the script, he was stunned instantly.

The name of the script is still the same, but the content in the script was completely changed by my boss.

In addition to retaining some of the protagonists' names and some general locations in my script, the main story line has completely changed.

"What...what are these things?"

When he saw the things marked on both sides of the script, Forrest was confused.

He suddenly discovered that there were countless shooting techniques and precautions marked in the script. When it came to the key plot, his boss also specially marked some framing and other suggestions in the script.

After reading it, Forrest was so surprised that he was speechless.

Then when he looked back carefully, he found that the script he had written was compared with the script written by his boss...

Completely two concepts.

It's completely incomparable to the revised script.

He was suddenly struck by Lu Yuan.

I have worked hard for so long to write a script, and I think it is a good script.

But the boss...

The boss just made random changes and it turned into a completely different script.

this……

Am I really not suitable for writing screenplays?

Or even say that I am really not suitable to be a director?

This moment...

Forrest found himself suddenly at a loss.
