Chapter 374 TV - Baird's Magic Chapter 375 The great future of TV!(1/3)
Tee was angry by my reluctant attitude and stood up suddenly, "Why, can't you make a movie?"
"Okay, but what movie do you want to make this time?" I shrugged and said with a smile.
Heidi took out a script from her bag and threw it to me.
The other three women surrounded him curiously and were very interested in Heidi's script.
I picked up the script with a smile, and saw a name written on the title page that made me tremble at a glance: "The Song of True Love".
"Heidi, are you going to make a love movie?" I raised the script in my hand and said happily.
Heidi pouted and said coquettishly: "What else can he do besides love movies?"
"Love movies are great, my favorite love movies." Lenie held my arms next to her and shook them. The two plump breasts on her chest rubbed my arms and made my arms numb.
"You wrote the script?" I asked Heidi.
Heidi nodded, with a look of pride on her face: "That's right, I took two days to complete the script. If this movie was made, it would definitely make "The End of Flower" pale in comparison."
"Come on, it's better not to mention your screenwriter level in front of Andre." Garbo was amused by Heidi's graceful look.
I held back my smile and turned on the first page.
As I read, the original smile on my face disappeared and my eyes became heavier.
"How is it, Director Corleon, is my script OK?" Heidi became more and more proud when she saw my solemn look.
The plot design of this script is very problematic, and the dialogue is very dull and has no characteristics. The use of the camera, including many highlights, is very problematic, but the vigorous vitality inside still makes me have to admit that Heidi has the talent to be a director.
It is a love story, a love story about a man and two women, the main body is after the man dies. These two women have little conversations and memories. Such a movie can easily remind me of the "Love Letter" by Shunji Iwai in later generations.
Looking at Heidi, I nodded and said, "It's OK."
"What does it mean?" Heidi was very unhappy and I answered this ambiguously.
I took out a cigarette from the cigarette box, and Lenny next to me happily lit it. Then I took a deep breath and said to Heidi: "Your script has merits, but if you want to achieve great success, you must undergo a major surgery to make a comeback, otherwise the movie made according to this script will be the only result, that is, it will become a third-rate movie. You can only barely recover the cost."
"Why?! What's wrong with my script?!" Heidi was a little dissatisfied.
I smiled and pointed to the script and said, "First of all, the name of your movie is not good. "The Song of True Love" is too vulgar and has no connotation at all. The success of a movie. The name is one of the keys. The name of a good movie can not only summarize the main content of the movie, but also explain the meaning of the movie. In addition, it cannot be too straightforward or too implicit. What is particular about is a kind of beauty that makes people look at it and then create a few imaginations. The name of your movie is too vulgar and too bad, so you have to change it again."
Heidi was convinced by me and admitted that the name was not considered.
"In addition, the biggest problem that your script is not written in a movie language, but is like writing novels. Heidi, movie scripts and literary novels are different things. When you write, you must always think that these words are expressed in the camera. The audio-visuality of the movie makes the movie script have completely different characteristics from the novel. Look at what you wrote in the script, such as this sentence, the room is filled with a decay. If this sentence is placed in the novel, it is definitely a very beautiful sentence, but how do you ask the photographer to shoot such a sentence? Scene dispatch, scene difference, characters' in-play out of the play, and the connection between the camera, all of which must be carefully considered. It is a very detailed and particular word, and it is not careless."
"Also, now it is an audio movie. Character dialogue has become one of the most important criteria for the success of a movie. Different people say different things because they have different life experiences and different personalities. And what they say must be considered every word, not like ordinary street chats."
"In terms of plot arrangement, you have roughly explained a story. Objectively speaking, this story is very good, but it is handled so peacefully by you. You have to understand the audience's psychology when watching the movie, and it must be unexpected and reasonable. Only such plot design can make the audience feel fascinated and resonate with the movie."
My words made the smug look disappear on Heidi's face. Heidi lowered her head, frowned, listened and thought carefully, and nodded constantly.
"Andre, according to you, isn't Heidi's script unqualified? How can this be done? Why did Heidi take two days to complete it? It's so tiring to write so many words. Andre, just help her change it." Lenny next to him saw Heidi's frustrated look, and felt unbearable and pleaded for Heidi.
I smiled and said, "But Heidi, this movie has many advantages."
I don't want to pour a basin of cold water on Heidi, who is eager to try and try. For a director who has just embarked on the road of film, especially for a daughter like Heidi, who is usually arrogant and arrogant, an excessive blow will definitely outweigh the benefits.
"Really?! There is still something good about this script?!" Heidi looked at me in surprise, with a surprise in her eyes, a contentment and happiness after receiving my praise.
I nodded: "Yes, although your movie has many problems and looks rough, the creativity and keen emotional grasp in it are still very good. Such movies, at least in Hollywood, are not something that big men cannot make. Their love movies are too tough. And your movie has a different kind of delicate beauty. Perhaps, this is the difference between you women and our men."
After I praised Heidi, her originally lost look disappeared, she smiled cunningly, and raised her small breasts at Jiabao and others.
I put that script in my drawer and said to Heidi, "This is it. Your script is here for me, and I will finish the premiere of "Hollywood Story" and help
, and then talk about the shooting. But Heidi, you are not only the boss of Crescent Film Company, but in addition to making movies, you also have to pay attention to the management of the company. My personal opinion is that this movie should not be filmed at least during this Christmas period. After all, there are too many movies during this period, so you can prepare it first. Let's put it next year."
When Heidi saw that I promised to help her change, she immediately started to dance.
Lenny stood beside me and said to Heidi, "How about you, be happy, as long as Andre changes it for you, there will be no problem. Don't you thank me?"
Heidi gave Lenny a blank look. The others laughed.
"Leni, what have you done to me?" After solving Heidi's affairs, I pulled Leni into my arms.
This intimate action made the women next to them shouted indifferently.
"In two days, our clothing store will officially start releasing its first brand, so I want to ask you to support it." Leni looked at me and smiled like a blooming flower.
"Is it that 'Eve's temptation'?" I asked with a smile.
Lenny nodded: "Yes, this is the first brand in our clothing store, and it may become a famous brand in the future."
I immediately laughed: "You said that it is inappropriate for me to go to such a woman's underwear press conference."
Lenny hugged my neck and said coquettishly: "That won't work. You have helped Heidi change the script, so you must attend our press conference!"
I shook my head helplessly and looked around Jiabao and others and said, "Okay, okay, by that day, we will all go. You guys have a few sets of brand-name underwear. This kind of advantage will not be taken away."
After a long time of trouble, I took these women to the yard below for a meal of tea and some snacks. As soon as I came out, I saw Gans rushing out of the yard while wearing a coat.
"What's so urgent, so anxious?" I asked.
Gans hurriedly put on his coat, and then panted to me, "Boss, Sautal's subordinates called me just now and said that Baird had arrived at the dock, so I'll pick it up now."
"Belde is here? So soon?" I opened my eyes wide.
Gans touched his head and raised his eyebrows and said, "What's the quick thing? If he didn't delay the road for a few days, he would have arrived."
"Then you go and go back!" I patted him hard and sent him away.
Baird's arrival made me no longer have the intention to play with Heidi and his group of people. I was restless in the office, walked over with my hands behind my back, and rushed to the balcony from time to time to look at Harvey Street to see if the car in Gansti had arrived.
Heidi and others were confused by my miraculous behavior. They knew me and knew that something big must have happened.
"Andre, what Baird is talking about, what is the famous director?" Heidi, who was outspoken, couldn't hold it in the first place and asked with pulling my arm.
"No." I shook my head.
"Since you're not a famous director, who else can make you so restless?" Heidi asked.
I smiled, smacked my lips and said, "This Baird is a very amazing magician."
"Magician?!" Lenny jumped up suddenly: "I like Magician the most!"
Only Garbo and Holkina looked at each other, and a strange smile appeared on their faces.
After waiting anxiously for more than half an hour, I finally heard the sound of Gans' car parked in the yard.
"Here, come, that magician is here! But he doesn't look like a magician, but like a worker." Lenny, who had been guarding the balcony, waved to me.
The other three women in the room seized the advantageous terrain and wanted to see what wonderful performances this "magician" would bring to them.
"Boss, I'll bring it to you!" Gans yelled outside before he even entered the room.
I quickly stood up and walked to the door to greet me.
Then I saw behind Gans. He was about thirty-seven or eight years old. He was very thin and a little malnourished. He was tall, about 1.8 meters tall, wearing a plaid suit that British people like to wear, but it was already wrinkled. For such a thin person, this suit looked a bit big. His brown and black curly hair showed that he might have Jewish blood, pale skin, big forehead and deep concave eyes, and a slightly protruding chin, which made his angular face a little tougher. He was carrying a huge suitcase in his hand, and the few people following him were also carrying bulging boxes, not knowing what they were holding.
"Mr. Baird, this is Andre Corleon, the owner of DreamWorks." Gans pointed at me and introduced to Baird.
Baird looked at me and quickly put down the box in his hand. He stretched out his hand respectfully: "Boss, I'm happy to see you."
Maybe because of the journey, Baird looked very tired, but he still forced a smile on his face.
"Belde, welcome you to Hollywood. I'm waiting for you to wait." I held Baide's hand tightly and gave him a warm hug.
Baird was so overwhelmed by me that he was completely stunned.
After entering the room, everyone sat down, and the boxes Baird brought with him were placed in the office, which made Heidi and others very curious.
"How is it? Is the road going smoothly?" I personally made a cup of tea for Baird and handed it to him.
Baird was flattered, took the cup with both hands and nodded, "It's okay, it's great to take a plane and take a boat all the way."
After chatting for a while, Baird gradually breathed, Lenny said to Baird with a smile: "Mr. Magician. Can you show us your magic?"
"Magic?!" Baird was stunned when he heard this, and the second half of King Kong couldn't touch his mind.
Hahaha. Gans and I both laughed.
"Belde, I told them that your invention is magic. They have been waiting for it for a long time. How about it?" I pointed to the boxes.
Baird then realized it and smiled and said, "Magic? I like this word, yes, absolutely, I will demonstrate my invention to you now."
When Baird mentioned his invention, a proud smile immediately spread on his face. He took Gans to open the boxes and put the parts inside one by one.
I stood beside Baird's land, looked at the simple parts, and sighed secretly.
These parts made of wood and metal are completely different from those plasma flat-screen TVs in later generations. Heidi and others next to them looked radiant, but a hint of sadness surged in my heart.
It’s too simple, so simple that it’s a bit unpleasant. But those major inventions in history were all so simple at the beginning. As long as you have persistence and hard work, success will not be far away.
Baird placed the parts in the office and assembled them himself. The parts together were at least 100, and it was absolutely a very tedious to assemble them one by one. However, for Baird, these parts were simply no different from his body. Even if he closed his eyes, he could assemble them smoothly.
Baird installed a monitor on my desk in the office, and then he was busy placing some things in the next room that I had no idea what it was for. After working hard for more than half an hour, he finally got the job done.
Baird was sweating profusely after the installation and said to me nervously: "Boss, the TV has been assembled and you can start the magic show."
"Isn't this just a wooden box? Is there anything you can do? Will it turn a pigeon from it?" Heidi was very disappointed when she looked at these simple parts.
Baird looked at me a little embarrassedly: "Boss, can you allow me to ask one of the four charming ladies to help me complete this show?"
I laughed and said to Heidi and others: "Who would like to help Baird complete this show?"
