Only if he works hard to make more friends of the opposite sex, he won't be alone like he is now when he needs them.
…
Thinking of this, Alan already had a vague plan in his mind. If he wanted something exciting, he had plenty of subject matter. He didn't even need to copy anything. He had seen too many of them. What he should worry about now was not whether the film was stimulating enough, but whether the excitement he created would pass the review.
If the film is too stimulating and becomes the most restricted level, it will also affect the box office revenue.
"Master...Master?"
Patrice looked at Alan who was in a daze and called out to him softly twice.
"Yeah! I'm thinking about the general framework of the new movie. I already have some ideas."
"Oh? Master, you have an idea for a new movie so soon? What kind of subject are you going to shoot? Do you need my advice?"
"No!"
Alan knocked on the table, glanced at Patrice and said, "I need you to help me find some actors after a while."
"First of all, I want an actress who looks mature, even sexy, especially..."
Alan placed his hands in front of his chest with his palms facing up and made an up and down lifting motion.
When Patrice saw this action, he understood it immediately!
"big?"
"Yes! Not only must it be big, but it must also look good, round and natural. And it can't be too old, try to choose someone under 30 years old!"
…
After understanding Alan's conditions, Patrice closed his eyes and thought for a moment. There were actors who met these conditions, but for now, he had not thought of any actor in China who met several of the conditions.
"Also... I need a young actor who is about five or six years old, male or female is fine. Um... I also need a handsome and manly male actor, preferably under 30 years old."
Allen then added two more candidates.
These actors are being prepared first, and it won’t be too late to find other minor supporting roles once he has thought out the specific framework.
"Master..."
After hearing Alan's request, Patrice said with some embarrassment: "This actor, what standard do you use to describe this handsomeness you mentioned?"
Patrice's eyes were fixed on Alan's face. If the young master asked him to find the one according to his standards, it would be too difficult!
"Why are you looking at me? Just find someone you think is handsome. Bring him the photo so I can take a look. If it's hard to find someone in China, look abroad or even Hollywood. Siphis is familiar with this, so ask him to help you."
"I see. I'll arrange it right away."
Patrice picked up the data on the table and slowly left Alan's study.
…
The study became quiet again. Alan picked up a pen and paper, but did not rush to write. Instead, he lit a cigarette, relaxed, and sorted out his thoughts.
Curious and exciting.
This is not difficult for him.
Holding the cigarette between his lips, Alan first confirmed the location of the story's background.
Time: Modern drama
Location: America!
There is no need to think about this at all. Any strange thing becomes reasonable as long as it happens in America.
Characters: A young American couple with one child.
Event: Emotional entanglement in marriage.
…
The premise of the story is listed, which makes it seem bland and unexciting.
Allen added additional conditions after the line about the characters.
[My wife is fickle, has a habit of cheating, is amorous, and loves to have affairs with other women.]
Um……
This way, the excitement level is raised a little bit.
But this is far from enough, keep adding more.
[The man knew his wife was cheating on him, but he was a peeper and felt both pain and pleasure.]
Um……
Once this additional condition was added, Alan felt that the whole story instantly reached a higher level.
It becomes more dramatic.
But it's still not enough.
No one can doubt the professionalism of a former professional in skirting the rules when it comes to exciting things.
Keep adding!
[Men are jealous and will kill their wives’ cheating partners after spying on them.]
hiss……
Alan stopped writing and looked at the overall effect, which was a bit perverted.
We need to add some settings to neutralize it.
[The wife knew that her husband had killed her cheating partner, but she continued to do as she pleased, and even increased the time interval between each affair.]
Tsk tsk tsk…
This way, it will be more exciting, right?
They're a bit like a psychotic couple.
It still needs some revisions to add some warmth, but it can't stray too far into the realm of psychosis.
Add more scenes of warm family atmosphere when they interact with their children.
In this way, the image of a couple who love their home very much when they are at home, but become a little abnormal as soon as they go out is roughly described.
As for the large amount of details that need to be filled in, that is the screenwriter's job. He now has two screenwriters, one male and one female, which is enough!
…
"Siphis! The young master has a new project. You need to be prepared. The young master has just told me to start looking for actors."
Next to a side hall on the first floor of the manor is the office of Cephis and Patrice.
At this time, Siphis was wearing glasses and looking at data reports.
Hearing Patrice's words, Siphis slowly raised his head, took off his glasses and rubbed his brows, and said with some embarrassment: "Did the young master say what kind of film it is? Have you thought of the story outline?"
"Oh? What's wrong? Is there any problem on your side?"
"Something went wrong with our screenwriter, and the female editor left..."
"this……"
Allen required one male and one female screenwriter at the time, preferably one who was good at writing romance novels.
The female screenwriter is responsible for improving and filling in the female characters in the script, while the male screenwriter is responsible for the male characters. The two of them cooperate with each other and make it look very good.
But now a female screenwriter is gone.
"Then I'll look for a new screenwriter in the next few days. Before the young master has figured out the plot, I'll fill in the gaps first."
"That's all I can do. Thank you for your hard work, Patrice. This is also the first time I've done this kind of work. There are too many things for me to take care of."
Siphis was relieved to see that Patrice took the initiative to take over the job.
Usually Allen is a hands-off boss, and everything from film distribution to post-production tracking and maintenance is up to Ceface.
But Siphis was also a novice in the film industry, and many things he did were very awkward, so he could only learn as he went along.
"Well... I'll start preparing for finding actors. I'll follow your previous commissioning model. Also... the school I work at has some very good students. We can give them some supporting roles when the time comes."
"OK!"
Siphis agreed with Patrice's plan. This old guy had extensive connections in the film industry, especially in the country, which came in handy at this time.
