Chapter 53
In the editing room, Shyamalan had a heated argument with the editor.
The dispute between the two originated from a clip.
Shyamalan was unwilling to cut it, but the editor believed that adding this section would make it look dragging, so he insisted on cutting it, and the two argued.
Now that Martin is here, Shyamalan seems to have found a backbone and immediately throws the question to him.
"Which paragraph?"
Martin is a little strange. The shots of his movie are drawn according to the script of his previous life. Wouldn't it be better to edit according to the shots?
"Martin, look, this is it. Shyamalan pointed it out.
What caused the dispute was the last paragraph of the film.
At the end of the film, the little boy was sitting in the car with his mother and told his mother that a woman had died in the car accident ahead.
The mother asked her son who he was. How do you know? The boy said he could see it, right by his window.
The boy asked his mother if she also thought he was a freak. Although the mother did not believe her son's words, she solemnly told her son that she would never think so.
But In his heart, he blamed this on himself for not taking good care of his son.
Next, there was a conversation.
Boy:"Mom... Grandma says hello to you."
Mom:"It's wrong of you to do this. You know that grandma has passed away. Boy
:"I know, she wants me to tell you……"
Mom:"Oh, stop talking……"
Boy:"She asked me to tell you that she saw you dancing... She said that when you were little, you had a fight with her, just before your dance performance.……"
(Mom starts to show an expression of disbelief）
"You thought she didn't want to see you dancing, she went to see you, she hid behind you, you didn't see her……"
"She said you look like an angel……"
(At this time, my mother had already started sobbing silently, trying her best to suppress her sadness.）
"She said that you once went to her cemetery and asked her a question, and she said the answer was……‘every day’"
"Mom, what question did you ask her?"
The mother sobbed, looking at her son aggrievedly like a child, and said:"I... I asked if there was a moment... that made her proud.……"
Martin frowned,"I should have this section in the script, why should I omit it?"
The editor smiled contemptuously,"I think this section is too delayed, unnecessary sensationalism, and inconsistent with the atmosphere of the entire movie.!"
"You're talking nonsense, this scene is clearly the most important scene in the film, you idiot! Shyamalan said with red eyes. He felt that Martin had written this paragraph into his heart. If it were released at the end of the movie, it would definitely be a tear-jerking bomb.
Martin looked at the editor and said calmly:"I think this paragraph should be kept." With"
"No, no, no, Martin, you are too young. You don’t understand. Not all sensationalism can gain empathy. This paragraph is not interesting."
Martin glanced at him and walked out.
The editor thought he had won and glanced at Shyamalan proudly.
Shyamalan also walked out angrily, but as soon as he reached the end of the corridor, he heard Martin at the corner of the corridor. is calling
"Harvey, that editor, I don't like him, replace him"
"Replacement? Isn't this ready-made? Let Shyamalan be responsible for editing."
"What's the problem? As long as he divides the shots according to my script, there won't be any problem."
"Okay, thank you!"
Martin turned around the corner. There was no one in the corridor. A smile appeared on his lips.
In the editing room, the editor looked at Shyamalan who had left and returned, and said strangely:"What are you doing back? It's useless. , I said I wanted to cut that section, and it would be cut. Shyamalan did not answer him, but smiled mysteriously and said:"You may have a call.""
As soon as he finished speaking, the phone rang.
The editor picked up the phone on the table. After talking for a while, his head was covered with cold sweat.
"okay, I get it"
"Got it, Mr. Harvey"
"Okay, okay, I understand. After a moment, the call was hung up.
The editor looked at Shyamalan bitterly and said angrily:"You, isn't it you!" Shyamalan shrugged,"
Can you leave now?""
"Huh, let's wait and see, I want to see what kind of hell you will edit the film into, an Indian, haha!"
The editor opened the door and saw Martin leaning on the corridor, looking at him with a smile. He wanted to say a few more harsh words, but looked at Martin's eyes that still looked cold even when he smiled. , after all, he still didn’t say anything and left in embarrassment.
Martin pushed the door open and looked at Shyamalan,"Director, the final editing rights are yours. You should know how to edit, right?" Shyamalan patted his chest and said,"Don't worry, Martin, I will edit according to your storyboard. If there are any problems, I will notify you in time.""
Shyamalan turned into a licking dog, but he licked willingly. Martin's storyboard script was very much to his liking.
"Very good, leave it to you!"
Martin left.
After getting in the car, he received another call from Harvey
"Yes, that editor has left and Shyamalan has taken his place, thank you"
"OK, we'll work together again if we have the chance."
On the other side of the phone, Harvey put down the phone, and his brother Bob Weinstein frowned and said:
"Harvey, are you too, too, too fond of Martin?——"
"Okay, okay, I know I'm being too flattering, but that little genius is a gold mine, and there's absolutely nothing wrong with building a good relationship with him."
"Harvey, are you too optimistic about him? After all, in the film industry, he only succeeded in one movie"
"One piece? Are you questioning my vision? Look, this"The Sixth Sense" will definitely be a blockbuster."
In terms of his eye for movie scripts, Harvey is much better than his younger brother. Bob's strength lies in administrative management skills.
In fact, in addition to scripts, Harvey is also interested in novels published by Martin
《Not to mention"Kung Fu Panda", even if this novel is to be turned into a movie, it will only be in the form of an animated cartoon.
But"Ready Player One" is different.
Harvey had read this book no less than five times and was already familiar with it.
He found that Martin seemed to have considered the adaptation of the script when he wrote the novel. The overall structure of the novel was the three-part structure of the movie.
The little boy apparently also had the idea of adapting it into a movie.
If the cooperation on"The Sixth Sense" goes well this time, then why not continue to cooperate next time...
And Martin is only twelve years old, and there will definitely be more works coming out in the future. For what this can bring to himself Harvey doesn't mind kneeling and licking people who have interests.
If Martin liked it, he would even offer himself a pillow.
Martin, who had just hung up the phone, said,"Ouch!"
Strange, why did he suddenly feel sick?
At this time, Jessica's call came in
"Martin, when will you be free? Lindsay, Dorothy, and I want to take you to the movies."
