MTL - Movie Master-Chapter 18 start adapting

Lance sat cross-legged in front of the window sill, surrounded by messy white papers. Under a stack of thick messy papers, the outline of a retro typewriter could be seen. The blurred ink marks could be seen everywhere, adding to the A trace of confusion. Lance didn't notice the situation around him at all, waving his hands in the air without any rules, sometimes he stopped suddenly and fell into thinking; sometimes he acted like Void was carrying a camera to shoot, trying to find a more suitable angle .

Writing a screenplay is not easy, never has been, and Lance knows it all too well. If it was in the previous life, Lance, who had no orthodox script education, would have found it very difficult to complete the script even though he was talented. The script of "Good Night, Good Luck" was co-written by Lance and George." The script of "City of God" took three years and only one-third of it was promoted.

But now things have changed, and Lance, who has regained his new life, has more advantages and accumulation. Leaving aside the crucial life experience and social experience, in the last life, Lance's thirteen years in New York were fruitful.

Lance has been on Off-Broadway and Off-Broadway for a long time. Due to various reasons—the most important being financial constraints, they must be omnipotent if they want to create works here, and even one step closer to making their works win the stage. From the director to the screenwriter to the actors, even the delicate things such as props, costumes, music, etc. need to be done by themselves.

Lance has not only experienced years of experience in actual combat, but also audited in the film department of Columbia University.

University film education is very interesting. They will let students form a film team in the form of groups, and then complete the semester project together. But at the same time, students will also be allowed to experience the knowledge of different positions-this time they will be the cameraman in the crew, then the next time they will be the director, and the next time they will have to complete the production work.

The purpose of such an education method is not to make students omnipotent, but to let students understand the different nature of work in each position, and finally let students find the most suitable position for them.

Before Rebirth, Lance worked with a group of juniors on a project in which he participated in directing and writing. The project was a huge success in campus productions, which earned him an off-Broadway stage performance. Therefore, even though Lance holds two jobs at the same time, he is still unwilling to give up easily. For more than two consecutive months, he only had less than three hours of sleep every day. Perhaps it was because of this that he was so exhausted that he died suddenly, returning from 2015 to 2002.

Even so, the script adaptation of "City of God" is still not that simple. The biggest highlight of this script is its authenticity and restraint. The story of the script covers three eras before and after, involving dozens of different characters, and the amount of information is huge, and the difficulty of including it in a movie script is beyond imagination.

What Lance has to do is not only to condense these stories into a script, but also to condense them just right. Fortunately, Lance had watched the work "City of God" in the previous two lives, and left a particularly deep impression, which was of great help to the script adaptation work.

In the process of writing the script, Lance couldn't help but see the lifelike images in his mind, the barren, dirty, real, dramatic, and fierce images between documentaries and feature films, gradually evolving into movie images— Even the pictures of life rushed to my face, and then helped Lance continue to complete the adaptation of the script.

After devoting himself to work, other messy thoughts in his mind were temporarily abandoned. He didn't need to think about Diorama Films, the next filming of "City of God", or what he should do next. Choosing which way to make a comeback is just a matter of devoting yourself to the creation of the script. The familiar enthusiasm slowly flows in the blood, and even makes people forget the passage of time, which is really a kind of enjoyment.

"Lance!" Accompanied by a chaotic sound of opening the door, a shout sounded like thunder on the ground, and suddenly exploded, stirring in the whole room.

"Get lost!" Lance yelled back without even raising his head, frowning slightly.

Crackling, the sound of debris falling on the ground made people irritated, "Lance, dear Lance! Lovely Lance!" The shout not only did not stop, but also intensified, shouting with various calls Get up, as if calling a pet cat.

"Go away!" Lance's head was full of black lines.

The voice also seemed to be angry, and it immediately roared, "Damn Lancelot! Where the **** are you?" The voice spread all the way from the living room to the study.

Lance also went berserk, and finally raised his head, and his thoughts were separated from the story of "City of God", as if he had quit the game. Being interrupted from work, Lance was in a bad mood. Just as he was about to look back to see who was making trouble, a hearty laughter came from behind him, "Haha, you are here!" The thunder made Lance's eardrums buzz.

As soon as Lance turned his head, a black shadow pressed down directly, and a furry brown bear hugged Lance directly from behind, then picked him up, and put him **** the ground. Lance didn't even have time to react to the pain, let alone fight back, and then he felt the big hand like a cattail fan ruthlessly trampled on his head, almost squeezing all the air out of his lungs . The hearty and playful laughter was like beating a drum, continuously attacking Lance's eardrums.

"Gawaine-Strelow!" Lance finally came to his senses at this moment, and shouted through gritted teeth. Originally, Lance was going to give the other party a hard blow, but after realizing who it was, Lance gave up resisting directly, and sat obediently, looking like he had nothing to love—with an active-duty of pro football players than tackles? Lance didn't think he had any chance of winning, and it would be wisest to give up.

The visitor happily ravaged Lance's hair, but soon found that Lance didn't resist at all, which suddenly became boring, "Little guy, why don't you resist? It's so boring, as if I'm bullying a child."

Lance said calmly, "I'm thinking about it, and I'll call Theo to talk about it later."

Hearing the name "Theo", Gawain immediately jumped up like an electric shock, not only let go of Lance, but also clumsily started to help Lance arrange his hair, and sat down in front of Lance with a flattering smile on his face. , "Lovely Lance, handsome Lance, kind Lance, you won't tell Theo? Right? Right?"

The man standing in front of Lance had long dark brown hair that was casually pulled into a bun, but he didn't look feminine at all. On the contrary, he revealed a wild sexiness and arrogance. His chin was rough and Messy stubble adorns the slightly cute baby face, under the cluttered and rough eyebrows there is a pair of piercing dark blue eyes, matched with the tall and strong figure, the strong and wild sportsman's temperament rushes towards his face.

This is Lance's third brother, Gao Wen.

Lance's parents died when he was three years old. Since he had no close relatives to adopt, he was sent to the child welfare agency and grew up in foster care. The children in the foster family are always coming and going, and few of them can stay for a long time. Fortunately, the four foster children including Lance have persisted. Gawain is one of them, and Theo Theodore-Strelow is another. Theodore is the eldest of their four brothers, thirty-eight years old this year.

Gao Wen's birthday is only one month older than Lance, but he has always regarded himself as "brother". Unlike Lance, Gao Wen is now a professional player of the NFL player Green Bay Packers, serving as a tight end. He has been a member of the Packers since joining the league in 1991. He also followed the team as the main force in 1997. He won the Super Bowl and is currently one of the top players in the league.

Lance pouted, "You're sitting on my script." Gawain jumped up high, almost making people think that there was an extra hedgehog on the ground. Looking at Gao Wen who was smiling flatteringly in front of him, Lance resisted the urge to roll his eyes, "Why did you come here suddenly? The summer in Green Bay is much more comfortable than in Los Angeles."

"The new season is about to start. Next week is the preseason game. Don't you remember?" Gawain looked at Lance strangely, and Lance's usual calm brows froze. A rare embarrassment. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com Gao Wen looked down at the messy papers around him, "How long have you been in the house without going out?"

Lance turned his head and looked at the chaos around him. Judging from Percy's message at noon today, he hadn't left the room for three weeks. Lance raised his eyebrows and showed an innocent expression, "The passage of time is always unpredictable, isn't it?"

Gawain thumped Lance's chest twice, and laughed loudly, "You are still so humorous, you always like to talk about philosophical things that I don't understand." After being thumped twice, Lance felt that he was about to vomit blood Yes, after all, I still couldn't hold back and rolled my eyes. Gao Wen was used to it long ago and didn't care at all. He said cheerfully, "Let's go, let's go, I just talked to Theo on the phone, and he will be there in 20 minutes. We also have to hurry passed."

Lance stood up and walked quickly into the bathroom. He hadn't gone out for a long time. He had to take care of himself first. Gao Wen followed step by step to the door of the bathroom, folded his hands on his chest, and asked casually, "Has there been any changes in your company recently? I called your office landline, and the person who answered the phone wasn't Percy. I thought Wrong number."

The movements in Lance's hands couldn't help but pause, he had forgotten that he had never mentioned Diorama Films to his family, whether it was as Lancelot or Li Jin. In his last life, he was discovered six months later. In a panic, Lance had a big fight with them and strongly refused their help. Years later, Lance realized how stupid his actions were and how badly he hurt his family.

So what about this time? Should he tell the truth?
