Eric simply told the outline of the story of "Mr. & Mrs. Smith", Nicole listened carefully, and waited for Eric to finish, before saying: "It sounds nothing special, and it must be a gimmick like a killer shootout. The selling point of popcorn movies. "
"The solidification of human thinking is very serious. The word innovation is easy to say but difficult to do. Ninety-nine percent of Hollywood movies can find similar companions. The key is how to shoot."
Nicole glanced at Eric: "I just talked about my own ideas, you do n’t need to go up to the height of‘ human ’.”
Eric laughed: "Actually, your understanding of this story is only on the most superficial surface. Of course, this certainly represents more than 90% of the audience's ideas. But if a deeper deconstruction is carried out, this story It's a true portrayal of people's marriage in real life. "
"Huh?"
"John and Jane ’s marriage is the standard love at first sight, and in reality, many marriages are the product of this impulse. However, they do not really understand each other, although they love each other, they are not open to each other. Instead, they were careful to guard against each other, which meant that they would not be able to maintain the marriage for a long time. When the initial passion subsided, the relationship between the two parties tended to be dull and dull, and finally had to be psychologically consulted. At the same time , They received an order to kill each other, because of this change, the invisible barrier between the two collapsed, while attacking each other, they began to truly understand each other. This is very similar to the actual marriage relationship. When After the husband and wife are in a dispute, they have been carefully covering up the other side of themselves and will open to each other. Eventually. This marriage will either be rebirth from a baptism of fire, or split in two. "
After Eric finished speaking, he saw that Nicole had put down the cutlery in his hand, supported his chin with one hand, and looked at himself with eyes in amazement.
"What's wrong, did you suddenly admire my erudite genius? Relax, little girl. You are not the first, and you will not be the last."
"I was just thinking. When will your" John Smith "confess my true identity to me?"
Eric smiled and did not answer. He knew that many people around him were very curious about how the special features he showed came from. Some people asked more than once. However, this matter is destined to never be explained, and Eric does not mean to explain to others: "In many film and television novels, the protagonist often maintains a mediocre state for a long time, because of the stimulation of certain things, it is blockbuster, and eventually becomes rescue. Earth's Superhero, for example, Superman, Spider-Man, etc. "
Nicole made an unbearable expression: "Do n’t talk nonsense, I wo n’t ask."
"Ok, let's continue to say" Mr. & Mrs. Smith ". You come to make Heroine. This script can be used as the first part movie of Disney and Columbia. It just happens to let Paula Wagner serve as Producer. You can do more in one fell swoop."
Nicole nodded and looked at Eric: "Eric, how about you playing John Smith, haven't you played" 17 Again "?"
Eric shook his head: "I have no time."
Nicole also knew that he was a little whimsical. Compared with when he appeared in "17 Again" a few years ago, Eric now not only has to take care of the big Firefly film group. He also directed "Jurassic Park" himself, and some other movies from him. Eric is also impossible to let go completely, in this case, he simply can't spare half a year to appear in the movie.
The main work of "Jurassic Park" will not start until after Oscar at the end of March. Firefly Pictures after the acquisition of Disney is gradually on the right track. The cooperation with Columbia has also been finalized. Eric has a month of leisure time.
Therefore, although there is no time to participate in "Mr. & Mrs. Smith", there is still plenty of time to write this movie script in person. script, one page per minute, according to the memory in my mind, according to the current time background Modified and knocked out in less than a week.
These days, Nicole has also lived in Cliff Peak Manor. I personally watched Eric knock out the script of "Mr. & Mrs. Smith" on the computer. Occasionally when I went out with Eric, I was also taken a few photos by paparazzi. It is inevitably some gossip sex scandal.
After "Mr. & Mrs. Smith" script was released, both Disney and Columbia quickly saw the script. Although it was not a slight word for the special effects blockbuster, Columbia quickly accepted the project.
After the project was confirmed, while Eric had just had time to participate, Disney and Columbia could not wait to start the preliminary preparations. In just one week, the budget table of the film was made because it was the first step of the cooperation between the two films In order to ensure foolproof, film budget is quite loose.
In the screening room, Eric, Katzenberg and Peter Guber watched the shooting scene on the screen together. "Mr. & Mrs. Smith" involves a lot of shooting scenes. However, none of the Director alternative lists given by Disney and Columbia can satisfy Eric. Of course, for Eric, when it comes to shooting games, the first thing he thinks about is of course the classic Hong Kong such as "Heroes" and "The Killer".
"The most important thing about Hong Kong action movies is to make the audience enjoyable. You see, this shootout, the setting of the plot, the setting of the atmosphere, and the fierce shootout that lasted for three minutes all exemplified Director ’s superb control. For the "Mr. & Mrs. Smith", what I want is an elegant violence, a feeling that even the male & female leads holding a large-caliber shotgun seems to be flirting with the bomb, not the Hollywood Director. "Cruel and realistic," Eric looked at the movie screen and explained it softly, and what was shown on the screen was the famous Fenglin Pavilion shootout in "A Better Tomorrow".
The more than three-point shootout without any lines can be achieved in one go. For ordinary audiences, this scene is just the climax of a movie, but many Director regards this scene as an important imitation object.
"Eric, wouldn't you like to invite Hong Kong Director who only shoots B movie to direct" Mr. & Mrs. Smith "?" Peter Guber was a bit disdainful. He didn't realize the beauty of "A Better Tomorrow", but was rough on Hong Kong The set and the picture are somewhat scornful.
"Why not?"
"Nothing, I'm just a little worried that they will mess up this movie," Peter Guber replied with a smile, feeling the toughness in Eric's tone.
Eric also did n’t want to stalemate with Peter Guber, explaining: “Hong Kong ’s film market is too small. To ensure cost recovery, the Director there had to squeeze the budget. This does not mean that they will only shoot B movie.”
"Eric, did you fancy the Director of this movie?" Katzenberg pointed to the movie being played and asked.
Eric nodded, although Wu Baige in the original space and time later became a fan of epic films with a sudden change in painting style, a "Windtalkers" broke his own road to Hollywood, and a "Love and Let Love" stopped himself on the mainland. Development, but when it comes to shoots shootouts, the top few in the history of Hong Kong movies are basically the works of Wu Baige. Counting time, Wu Baige should almost enter Hollywood, because "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" is still making sequels. For this reason, Firefly has been in contact with Hong Kong, and now it is just time for the other party to match. (To be continued)
