Chapter 680 In France (eight)
Over the past few days, a picture has appeared in Honore's mind from time to time.
That is the sketch hand-painted by Luo Kai.
This is not a simple picture, it represents a movie script, a story about the silent killer and the revenge loli.
Luo Kai's painting was carefully collected by Baptist. As a witness to the cooperation between the two parties, Honore actually liked it very much. If he asked Baptist for it, Baptist would definitely give him this face.
But Honore didn't want it, but the content of the picture was firmly imprinted in his heart.
Then I often think of it, and sometimes even appear in my dreams.
He felt that Luo Kai's story was tailored for himself. Although this idea was incredible, his intuition was so.
As the number one male star under Senna Pictures and Baptiste's confidant, Honore's current position in the circle is actually quite embarrassing.
He was unwilling to continue to hang out in the circle of art films. In recent years, he has filmed many commercial films and went to Hollywood to work hard, but he has not achieved any achievements and has not made his own sky in Hollywood.
In desperation, Honore had to return to France.
Although Senna Pictures has not changed his support, it is difficult for Honore to realize his wish due to the limitations of European films.
He urgently needs to prove himself with a movie with good reputation and box office, and he is also looking for it!
Then Luo Kai came.
A story for him was given, which was the movie script he was holding now.
The name of the movie is: léon.
The content of the script is written in English, and Luo Kai used his free time to tap it out. It took more than ten days to go, which can be said to have consumed a lot of thought.
The story is set in the slums of New York. Starting with a professional killer named Leon, he possesses superb assassination skills, ruthless, cold and powerful skills, but his life is very simple and regular.
One day, the neighbor's little girl Matilda suddenly knocked on his door and asked him to avoid the murder. Her father was punished by evil police officer Stanfield because of her embezzlement of drugs, and the whole family was killed.
Matilda survived the rescue of Leon, and the two began a wonderful life of cohabitation. Matilda helped Leon manage housework and taught him to read, while Leon taught the girl to use a gun, and the two got along well. And a wonderful chemical reaction occurred between them...
However, Matilda never forgot to take revenge, because her beloved brother died at the hands of Stanfield. She followed the other party to seek revenge, but was accidentally arrested.
Leon arrived in time to rescue the girl. They moved again, but the police came to the door again. Their residence was surrounded by a group of fully armed special police officers, unable to escape like a bird in a cage.
At the critical moment, Leon showed his wisdom, first helping Matilda escape from the ventilation duct, and then disguised himself as a special police officer, but when he was about to win freedom, Stanfield appeared behind him and pointed the gun at his back...
This script was written in the first draft. Honore read it very seriously and read it word by word, so he ignored the hot cocoa sent by the waiter. He liked to drink a cup of hot cocoa after the meal.
The story of Leon and Matilda deeply touched Honore.
There was a voice in his heart shouting, this was the character he wanted and the movie he wanted to make!
But Honore, who was introverted, controlled his inner excitement, put the script he had read on the dining table, and said in his low voice: "A great story."
Luo Kai smiled and said, "But it's not perfect enough. I only completed the first draft. The details need to be filled and corrected by your screenwriter, so I will no longer participate."
"léon" is part of the cooperation agreement between Star Dream Media and Senna Pictures. It was originally not available, but appeared because of Luo Kai and then became a bargaining chip for negotiations.
Luo Kai likes this story very much, but "Léon" is obviously not suitable for localization. Even if it is placed in Xiangjiang as the background, it is not very appropriate, and the protagonist's character is not consistent with him.
He took out "Léon" to Senna Films, first of all, because of Honore. This taciturn French man is at least seventy-sixth-something to the protagonist of the original "Léon", which evokes his memory.
Then the original work is a French film. If you take it out and cooperate with Senna Pictures, it will undoubtedly kill two birds with one stone and produce a win-win result.
All Luo Kai had to do was just write this story.
Honore was a little surprised: "This is your story!"
“I don’t have much time…”
Luo Kai explained: "I think the screenwriter of Sena Pictures can definitely improve it, but one thing I have to remind you is about the relationship between the male and female protagonists in the story."
He paused, and Honore showed a serious listening look.
"This feeling..."
Luo Kai continued: "If the director of the art film was directed, he would definitely be able to portray it vigorously in the taboo field, but such practices would cause the film to lose the US and the market here."
A deep thought flashed in Honore's eyes, and he couldn't help but nod.
Of course, he is very clear about the nature of European directors who love art films. He knows what kind of content this script will be filmed if it falls into the hands of a European director.
“So my advice is…”
Luo Kai said: "Let me find a director who is familiar with the rules of commercial films to complete it."
Honore couldn't help asking, "Why aren't you?"
Honore has witnessed Luo Kai's ability in directorship. Since this story was written by Luo Kai, wouldn't it be the most appropriate for him to direct it?
Luo Kai smiled, "I just said that I don't have much time."
According to the previous agreement, if this script is recognized by Sena Pictures, Xingmeng Media and Early Xia Culture will participate in the investment, but the shooting and production will be completed by Sena Pictures.
Luo Kai does not intend to participate in the actual shooting. This time, in order to shoot "The World of Heaven", he had to separate Niu Niu for a month. He doesn't want to repeat this experience.
If he was asked to direct "Léon", it would be even longer to see Niu Niu.
Luo Kai no longer cares about fame, fortune and honor.
"That's a pity..."
Honore shrugged, he picked up the script again and said sincerely: "Your opinion is very important. I will definitely convince Mr. Baptiste to complete this work as you wish!"
"I really hope it will appear on the screens of the United States and your China!"
Luo Kai smiled and said, "This is what I hope."
After this dinner, Honore drove Luo Kai and Mo Lan back to the hotel in person-
Chapter completed!
