Entertainment: Start with Succubus and play Hollywood

on Monday.

Meyers Studios Building.

In the office.

Martin stretched greatly and looked at the thick stack of scripts on the desk in front of him with joyful eyes.

He finally finished the script for District 9, which took him seven days.

Most of the time is wasted on drawing storyboards.

He picked up the landline phone on the table and called Drew's office."The script is ready, and the crew is almost ready to be assembled. Taking advantage of the fact that"Iron Man" is still doing special effects, I filmed this one first to save time." Squeeze together."

Drew came up personally to get the script, and after a warm-hearted exchange with Martin as usual, he returned to his office, opened the script, and started reading.

In Drew's eyes, the scripts of his own"Magic Martin" have always been very distinctive, and this is also recognized by Hollywood.

That is Martin's script. Unlike normal scripts, there are many"two-five-seven" branches, several endings, and even contradictory content.

A normal movie script, its content and length will definitely not be just the 90 or 120 minutes on the big screen.

In fact, what the story of a movie will look like in the end is not determined by the script, but by the scissors of the editor or director.

Especially for the early written scripts, many directors have already changed the published script beyond recognition when drawing the shots.

This is also the reason why in Hollywood, screenwriters are not taken seriously. Not to mention that they are not as good as directors, sometimes they are not even as good as editors.

But Martin's script is different.

His script is very concise.

Especially the split-shot script, there are no branches and branches.

There is no need to shoot a bunch of footage and then sort through that pile when editing.

As long as it is shot according to his shot script, the film will be nearly 90% complete, and the remaining work will become very simple.

This is why people in the industry have been saying that filming Martin's movie is not difficult for the director, and it can be done even with a dog tied to the director's chair.

Perhaps directors with self-creation desires will not like Martin's concise script, but major film companies definitely like it.

As we all know, the more material, the higher the cost of the film.

So why does a blockbuster burn through eight or even nine figures of funding? In addition to special effects, this aspect is also one of the reasons.

Martin's script is much more economical, and it can even be said that he also did the work of directing and editing when writing the script.

Drew liked Martin's script very much, especially the storyboards, which were like reading comics.

Soon, she was immersed in this story called"District 9".

In 1980, a huge alien spacecraft suddenly landed on Earth.

This huge spacecraft hovered over Los Angeles County, causing great panic in mankind.

At first, no one dared to touch it for fear of bringing unimaginable disaster to Los Angeles and the earth.

But after a period of waiting, people found that there was no movement from the spacecraft, and no aliens came out.

So, the government finally sent a task force to force their way into the spacecraft cabin.

As a result, what humans saw was not an army of well-equipped aliens, but millions of alien refugees. They were very ugly—like a combination of lobsters and humans, and their bodies were also very weak. , looks no better than those African refugees.

Human beings took these alien refugees off the spacecraft and temporarily placed them in an area called"Area One".

Time flies, twenty years have passed.

In the past twenty years, aliens have multiplied in large numbers, and their living area has also changed from District 1 to District 9.

This is a high-walled, unregulated slum.

The social organization of these aliens is like an ant's nest, with a small number of elites controlling a huge group of workers. However, the elites on this spacecraft have died, and the rest are low-level creatures with low IQs and bad tempers.

They killed, robbed, and fought, making the security environment in Los Angeles a mess. In addition, they continued to conflict with surrounding humans. Humanity's attitude towards these alien refugees also changed from sympathy at the beginning to hatred.

In the past 20 years, the government has naturally been conducting research on aliens and alien spacecraft in secret.

However, due to budget problems, the government contracted the management of aliens to a company called the"Multinational United Organization (MNU)". MNU is also one of the world's leading weapons manufacturers, and its purpose is also to crack those alien weapons..

Because these alien weapons are DNA machines, they need to decipher the alien DNA first.

As the complaints from the people of Los Angeles become more and more intense, in order to save management costs, the government and MNU decided to move the aliens to more remote locations. area - District 10... and the person who performs this task is our hero - Wikus.

Wikus is the senior administrator of District 9, and his father-in-law is the president of MNU, so this"fat job" fell to him.

You must know that although these aliens are poor, those"alien gangsters" still have some resources and money.

However, as the old saying goes, good fortune and misfortune depend on it. (To read exciting novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)

During the mission, Wikus was sprayed by a bottle of energy liquid that the alien Christopherson and his friends spent 20 years collecting. Due to assimilation, Wiggs began to embark on the path of transformation, slowly mutating into a beetle-like alien.

This transformation also gave him DNA that could activate alien weapons. For a time, Wikus became the target of pursuit all over the world.

Therefore, Wikus could only endure the pain of mutation, while escaping, while looking for the possibility of returning to a normal person.

……

Isn't this a variation of Kafka's"The Metamorphosis"?

No, no, there is something else - racial discrimination?

African immigrants?

Gang-infested slums?

After reading the script, Drew mused.

At the same time, I also felt a little depressed. The torture about human nature in the script is too gory, especially at the end when the protagonist completely turns into an alien, living alone in District 10, missing his wife, and waiting for what he did three years later. The promised Kristofferson returns for that segment.

That's really 4.6, it's extremely heavy

"Drew, I'm here, let's go shopping."Cameron Diaz's voice sounded, and then the office door was pushed open,"Ho Nechet, why is it so dark, why don't you turn on the light?"

"Turn on the light?"Drew Barrymore looked up blankly and looked at the clock on the wall. It was already six o'clock in the evening.[]

"Where's Martin?"She asked subconsciously

"Are you stupid? Didn't he say yesterday that he had to go home and spend the night today?"Cameron Diaz waved his hand in front of her eyes in confusion.

Bang!

Drew Barrymore, who came back to his senses, knocked Diaz's hand off and stood up,"Let's go shopping. , I want to buy a lot today."

She has to use her passion for shopping to dilute the depression caused by the script.
