Chapter 8： I disagree

"Can you tell me your original intention or inspiration for creating this script?"

Although I believe Pie? Jinsli will not deceive him on this kind of thing, and the woman and boy opposite do not look like they are acting, but Harvey Weinstein still has to confirm it personally before he can rest assured.

"Original intention? Inspiration?" Ryan showed a clear smile. He knew very well that age is a big issue, but when used well, it can help. After all, some things are completely spoken from the mouth of an adult and from a child. They are two different things.

"Let’s put it this way, Mr. Weinstein, although I wrote this script as a horror and suspense subject, it should be classified as family ethics in essence. I don’t know if Pat told you about it. I am an orphan. Before I was adopted by Nicole, I had been living in the orphanage. From the time I was sensible, everyone except the old dean in the orphanage called me a freak. No one wanted to be friends with me. No one wants to play with me."

The boy showed a self-deprecating smile, "Of course, this has something to do with my character a bit withdrawn, and my behavior is a little bit jumpy, but it is undeniable that I have lived in a cold and indifferent environment since I was a child, especially looking at my peers. Everyone is adopted by others, but I never care about it. Sometimes I wonder if someone will help me out of this predicament?"

"The head of the orphanage, Katie, is a warm-hearted lady. If she hadn't helped me out and helped me, I really don’t know how to survive those cold years. In a sense, Marko in the script Dr. Mu is the incarnation of Dean Katie."

"After the old dean retired, I encountered some worse things. The sky at that time was not only cold, but also full of darkness. This situation continued until I met Nicole by accident and she took me in. , I even went bankrupt and fought a lawsuit over the guardianship area. Without her, I couldn't imagine what I was like."

Speaking of this, Ryan seemed to have touched her emotions and showed a grateful smile to Nicole, "Although under Nicole's care, my personality is much brighter than before, but I am still a little lonely and detached, and often Sexual troubles. Whenever this is the case, Nicole will talk to me. It is not the kind of teaching reprimand, but the exchange and communication on an equal position. With the increase of time together, we treat each other The more you understand, the deeper the feelings. The problems about communication in the script are derived from this. It is communication that reduces the fear of the unknown between people and deepens the feelings between relatives. Isn't it?"

"Except for the supernatural things, most of this script is based on the life I have experienced." At this point, the boy especially added, "The single mother who loves her son deeply is actually Ni in reality. However, without her, there would be no such story, and no script of "Sixth Sense". I worked hard to write this script to commemorate this special friendship between me and her."

"Can you take the liberty to ask which orphanage it is?" Harvey Weinstein's eyes sparkled.

"It's in Los Angeles, the Norston Orphanage in North Hollywood."

Ryan is not worried about the other party doing investigations and other things. After all, what he said is almost all true. It is just that he has been copied into the script by him, and what he said is full of inadvertent hints. And boot.

Of course, Weinstein’s experience will naturally detect these, but don’t forget that Ryan is only a child under ten years old. Adults will wonder if the child is lying, but will not think about whether it is in certain words. Deliberately dug a hole waiting for someone to step on it.

In fact, after Ryan said these words, Harvey Weinstein believed 90% that a child under ten years old could express his words in such a clear and orderly manner, which is enough to show his intelligence. What's more, he has always been confident in his own vision.

Besides, the Norston Welfare Institute is right next to Hollywood. The truth of these words is clear at a glance.

"Ryan~" The words the boy said made Nicole feel a lot more. Even though he knew that the two of them had a deep relationship, he never thought that he would always remember her kindness to him. At this time, a thousand words could not be compared to one. A hug full of affection.

, the fat man who hasn't gotten to the opposite side has yet to be touched by Nicole in a mess. Nestled in Nicole's fragrant embrace, Ryan felt a little bit helpless.

Harvey Weinstein has watched this script more than once, and there are many small problems, especially in the division of shots, but this shows that it was written by a novice, and he discussed it with his brother Bob Weinstein. , The excellent level of this story is undoubtedly, especially the ending part, will definitely surprise everyone.

Moreover, this type of film investment is not that big. As long as there are no catastrophic problems, profit is completely predictable. He even has several candidates for the director and actor.

But the little boy Cole is what makes him feel the most headache. It is not a simple thing to bring such a unique boy performance to life. After making movies for so many years, Harvey Weinstein knows that animals and children They are the two most uncontrollable existences in movie shooting. It is difficult for you to tell them what needs to be expressed, especially children. When they perform poorly, they can directly destroy a movie, and when they perform well, they can save. a movie.

However, after listening to the boy’s words, he couldn’t stop thinking about it. Since most of the script was adapted from his experience, why not let him play this role? , Even he doesn’t need to be substituted or deliberately perform, just keep his true color is enough.

The most important thing is that he is a complete rookie who can save a lot of money in terms of salary. Besides, even if it’s a large-scale audition for this role, who can guarantee that the selected boy will be better than him. It is more in line with this role modeled on oneself.

And that Australian woman is a small well-known actor, I have seen her starred in "Across the Horizon" some time ago. Except for a little too beautiful, her acting skills are quite good, she can play the single mother, so that they will be The feelings and experiences in reality, moved to the big screen in another way, are they not very suitable for propaganda and hype?

This buy one get two free business is simply too cost-effective. As for the woman's age and appearance, it is just a small hassle under makeup and post-production.

Almost in a short moment, these thoughts flashed through Harvey Weinstein's mind, and after calculating the pros and cons, he had to say that he was indeed a businessman who only wanted to profit.

"Ryan, Nicole, this script is excellent. Miramax has decided to invest in this movie, so we hope to buy this script as soon as possible. However, Ryan is not a professional screenwriter and a newcomer, so the price will be low. Some, the price I can give is fifty thousand dollars."

Seeing the boy’s face showing incomprehension and confusion, Harvey Weinstein explained again, “This is Hollywood’s practice. Fifty thousand dollars is actually quite a lot for a newcomer.”

Although he knows that Harvey Weinstein is telling the truth, and he also understands that Hollywood screenwriters are not embarrassed in this era, Ryan still finds it difficult to accept, after all, compared with the income of the movie, this little money is a bit pitiful. , It almost can't even compare with the cost of a novella.

Nicole is more familiar with Hollywood, knowing that the other party’s offer did not deliberately lower the price, but she has never made the decision for a boy in this kind of thing, and immediately said, "Ryan, make your own decision."

sighed, the boy could only look at his agent, and Ms. Jinsli nodded, "The price is fair."

"Mr. Weinstein, I agree to hand over this script to Miramax, and I can talk to Pat about specific matters."

Now, Ryan can't be sure whether the other party jumped in the pit he dug, but unless he had to do something, the effect of saying something out of his mouth is completely different from the other party's initiative.

Harvey Weinstein did not let him bother. After a few words with Pie Kingsley, he looked directly at Nicole Kidman, "Nicole, if possible, I would like to invite you. Acting as a single mother in the script. UU看书"

"Me?" Nicole obviously didn't expect to get involved with her.

"Of course, from Ryan's words, you can tell that the prototype of this character is you. No one is more suitable for this character than you!" Before Nicole could react, Harvey Weinstein continued, "Age is not The problem, the important thing is the relationship between you. I believe Ryan would also like to see you appear on the big screen in such a way."

"Right, Ryan." Harvey Weinstein looked at the boy and smiled like a fox.

"Yes. Nicole is unique in my heart." Ryan stared at the Australian girl with bright eyes. Nicole Kidman only thought for a second before nodding in response, "Okay. , It looks like I have no choice."

"Since Nicole is going to play her mother, what about you Ryan?" Harvey Weinstein has a kind of treacherous pleasure.

"Me?" Ryan pretended to be surprised, as if he really didn't understand the meaning of the other party's words, "What does this have to do with me?"

"Let's put it this way, Ryan, do you have any acting experience before?"

"No, it doesn't count if playing the violin and guitar on the school stage." The boy shook his head, but he had another idea in his heart. Does it count if he is acting every minute and every second?

The boy’s answer has exceeded Harvey Weinstein’s expectations. He rushed to Nicole who showed a clear look and said, "I want to invite you to play the role of Cole."

"I don't agree!" The person who refused was Nicole Kidman.
