When Martin took out a dozen pages of A4 paper filled with words, Yu Dong was very surprised. It seemed that Martin was really prepared.

These pieces of paper are filled with Martin's ideas for the script.

Of course, Yu Dong couldn't read every page carefully. Martin explained to him: "There are only seven characters in the novel. I think it is a bit too few for a movie, so I decided to add a few characters. The temporary idea is

Add three to seven more. Of course, the background must be changed to the United States. What I want is to change it to a remote town. I plan to keep the rainy night element..."

After listening to it for about once, Yu Dong couldn't help but sigh, a famous director is a famous director, and his work is truly extraordinary. When Yu Dong writes commercial novels, he will definitely take some basic things into consideration, such as the three elements of the novel and its composition.

The four parts of the novel.

The three elements are characters, plot, and environment. The environment is divided into human environment and natural environment.

Four components: beginning, development, climax, and ending.

These are junior high school knowledge, but you have to think about it, because in general, these are the things in novels.

And what Martin gave - can't be considered a script, because it's all fragmented, but even so fragmented, Martin has divided every part of the script.

The entire movie is divided into a typical four-act format. The opening first attracts attention, and then arouses emotions. When entering the second act, the audience should have expectations...

Yu Dong has been studying script writing recently, and he benefited a lot from a casual chat with a master like Martin.

"However, I have never been able to figure out how to deal with the names and numbers in the novel. Jimmy mentioned before that they could be named after the Roman gods, but I don't think it works very well."

Yu Dong smiled and said, "Don't you want to set the background in a small town? You can be more specific. Everyone gathers in a hotel, and then they live in different rooms, with room numbers from one to ten or eleven.

, the specific number depends on how many characters you arrange. Then the order of death of the characters can be related to these numbers."

Martin stared at Yu Dong and blinked. He originally just casually mentioned the difficulties he encountered and did not ask YU to help him solve it. But what he didn't expect was that YU immediately came up with a good idea.

"YU, since you thought of these, why didn't you include them when you wrote the novel?" Martin asked doubtfully, "Didn't you consider these at the time?"

Yu Dong explained with a smile, "Because novels are different from movies, I don't need to use these to serve my theme. If these designs are used too much to arouse readers' emotions, it is likely to weaken the psychological description in the novel."

"But the script you are adapting now is different. I can feel that you want to highlight the suspense in it and give the movie a continuous sense of tension. Then these things can be added."

Yu Dong didn't say the rest. If Martin wanted to increase the suspense, he would have to discard some things, such as the discussion of family, school, and youth in the novel.

This choice is not right or wrong, and Martin is also responsible for his own work.

And what Yu Dong just mentioned is actually the design in the original "Fatal Identity" movie.

But Martin didn't know this. He couldn't help but give a thumbs up to Yu Dong: "YU, it makes sense that every novel you write is a best-seller."

Then he said with excitement: "What do you think about the way each character dies? My idea is..."

For the next half day, Martin and Yu Dong discussed the script in great detail.

Later, when Yu Dong sent Martin off, Martin held Yu Dong's hand and sighed, "Actually, the screenwriting should be left to you."

Yu Dong smiled and said, "I can only make some trivial suggestions. I mainly rely on you, Mr. Scorsese."

"Chinese people are indeed very humble." Martin smiled and waved goodbye to Yu Dong.

He was in a good mood, at least the wait these days had not been in vain.

After seeing Martin off, Jiang Jie said at the side, "The 300,000 spent this time around the world is really worth it."

Isn't it worth it? Originally, Universal Pictures only wanted to let Yu Dong have a name. Thinking of Yu Dong's hard work and hard work, Jiang Jie watched the whole process and saw a complete script slowly coming out.

Yu Dong himself didn’t feel much. Even if Universal Pictures didn’t give him screenwriting fees, he would try his best to help when Martin came over. And if it was worth it, Yu Dong’s meeting with Martin this time was worth it, because he really never

I learned a lot from Martin.

In addition to novels, he will definitely write some scripts in the future. The last time he collaborated with Bi Feiyu on "Shake, Shake", it was just a practice. Later, he will have to start some serious plans.

He wanted to reproduce some excellent movies, but he couldn't write a novel for each movie. It was most efficient to write the script directly.

Yu Dong looked at Jiang Jie again, "How have you been these past few days? I followed Jimmy around for a while. What do you think?"

In the past few days, Yu Dong and Cheng Yanqiu were having fun, but Jiang Jie was not idle. He spent most of the time learning from Jimmy.

Jiang Jie said with a smile, "Mr. Ji is very busy. I feel like he uses all his time separately. But it is precisely because he is so busy that I can learn from him. At the same time, I also realize my own shortcomings. I will definitely do it in the future."

…”

Yu Dong waved his hand, "No need to say any clichés. I'm just asking casually. It's up to you to learn more or less. I think you should understand this."

"I understand." Jiang Jie nodded, "That's why I don't dare to slack off for a moment.

"Well, I've worked hard for you during this period. Let's take two days off after returning to China. By the way, is there any news in the United States recently?"

Jiang Jie began to report: "The entertainment industry is basically all about the Academy Awards. ABC made a special episode in which you, Mr. Yu, were mentioned and a scene was given. In addition, many news

While reporting on "Second World" winning six awards and beating "Forrest Gump", Madonna's filming of a bullfighting music video was protested by environmentalists, Winona's new movie "Resident Evil" will be released in the summer, and her ex-boyfriend John

Nee Depp will also have a new movie coming out in April..."

"Wait, what's hers?"

"Ex-boyfriend."

"Winona was in a relationship with Johnny? And then they broke up?"

Jiang Jie nodded, "According to the information I collected, Winona and Johnny were engaged before and broke up the year before last. Winona's current boyfriend is the lead singer of Soul Refuge..."

Yu Dong didn't want to listen to these gossips, but he finally understood what he said before that stopped Winona from continuing the conversation. It turned out that he and Depp still had such a past.

"Next time, don't collect gossip about these celebrities... Even if you collect it, don't report it to me."

Jiang Jie nodded, "I will pay attention to filtering information later."

…

After Yu Dong and the others returned to Golden Arts, they learned that the Academy Awards had been a hot topic in China during this period. A lot of news was reporting that "The Second World" swept the Oscars and won six awards.

Domestic readers don’t understand the Oscars either, and they just believe whatever the news says.

The news also said that Yu Dong also won an award.

This is actually true, and he did go on stage to receive the award with others. However, the specific circumstances were not reported in the news.

This is the same for domestic and foreign media. They only report news that is beneficial to them.

Foreign media are bragging about "The Second World" because Universal Pictures paid publicity fees, while domestic media simply know that such reports are what domestic readers love to watch.

The Academy Awards are given every year, so why are they so popular among domestic audiences this year? Isn't it because of "The Second World" and because of Yu Dong?

So it is definitely right to direct the news to Yu Dong.

After Yu Dong returned to school, he first went to the dormitory to put down his things, and then went to the new house to see the progress of the decoration. The floor had been transported and the masters were ready to install it. Once the place was installed, there were not many processes left.

If everything goes well, they can move in in two months.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! After seeing the decoration, Yu Dong came out of the new house, and Yu Hua just came out of the house, and was about to light a cigarette when he saw Yu Dong.

"You're back?"

Before Dong Dong could answer, Yu Hua shouted again, "Feiyu, Yu Dong is back."

In just ten seconds, Bi Feiyu ran out of the house, "Hey, you are really back. Where is your little golden man?"

"What little golden man?" Yu Dong rolled his eyes.

"The news said that you won an Academy Award. Didn't the winner have a statuette?"

"No, it's just that the movie won an award, I personally didn't win."

Bi Feiyu smiled and said, "I see, we were all saying before that you didn't win the Nobel Prize for Literature, but you won an Oscar first. It seems you still have to work hard."

Yu Dong said disdainfully, "It's just Oscar, will I see it?"

Bi Feiyu poked Yu Hua with his hand, "You're right. This guy went crazy after attending the award ceremony."

Only then did Yu Hua light up his cigarette and said with a smile, "This is the bad habit of capitalism. Now that he is back, we must correct him in time."

"How to bring order out of chaos?" Bi Feiyu asked.

"Invite him to a meal and let him bleed. The blood contaminated by capitalism must be drained from his body, so that he can change his ways and start a new life."

"I think it will work." Bi Feiyu nodded.

Yu Dong was amused by the two of them, "It's easy to talk about eating, but Yu Hua, have you written too much about selling blood recently? Everything can be related to bloodletting. By the way, Yu Liang asked you to go on TV, how about it?"

"

"It's not released yet, "Alive" has just started selling."

"Have you started selling "Alive"? How is the situation?"

Yu Hua shook his head, "General."

Then he may feel that the word "average" is not appropriate, and adds: "Not ideal."

Bi Feiyu on the side felt that "not very ideal" was not very appropriate, so he added for Yu Hua: "It is very unsatisfactory. Yesterday we went to the bookstore to buy books... He insisted on dragging me to buy books, so I followed him, and we

The two of us stood in the bookstore for a long time, and one copy of "To Live" was sold. When Yu Hua came back in the evening, he couldn't even eat."

"Don't talk nonsense. I can't eat anything. I ate three bowls of rice last night!"

Yu Dong smiled and comforted, "Actually, it's not bad. Think about it, if a bookstore sells one book in half a day, it will sell two books that day. A thousand bookstores will sell two thousand books in a day. It's a real bestseller."

Novels, in this market now, who else can sell them better than you?"
