Nine hundred and ninetieth chapters do not take the usual path

“This series is so special.”

In the office of Angel Agency, Helen Hermann said to Matthew, "The novel is described from the first perspective of the heroine. You'd better find a female director."

Matthew nodded slightly, "I think so too."

For some reason, he has been hiring female directors recently. Sofia Coppola and Patty Jekins have created two successful series, "Twilight" and "The Hunger Games", and now he is looking for a female director to take charge of "The Fifty Shadows of Gray".

Is he really a friend of women?

Helen Hermann also said, "The selling point of the movie should be the male and female protagonists, and the male and female protagonists must find someone with excellent appearance."

Matthew smiled, "I already have the right person to choose the heroine."

The plan for this series is still on paper for the time being, and preparations will be as fast as next year. If everything goes well, Amber Hilder will be able to play the heroine.

He had had conversations with Amber Heard before, and Amber Heard was not at all reluctant to star in this series, but was very happy.

The heroine of such a super popular novel is enough to attract countless people's attention without the filming of the movie.

Helen Herman looked through the documents in front of him and said, "I contacted four female directors, and they all refused." She rubbed her forehead gently, "The content of the novel is still too sensitive."

Matthew also had a headache and could only say, "Stay calm and look for it slowly, you can always find the right person."

Like actors, there are also many directors waiting for opportunities.

However, the poor reputation of this series is also an undeniable fact.

The trilogy of "Fifty Shadows of Gray" still creates amazing sales every day. However, while the popularity has surged, the media and the public have given one-sided negative comments on the quality of the book.

Without waiting or admitting that compared to the magical world of "Harry Potter", "The Song of Ice and Fire", "The Fifty Shadows of Gray" tells the old-fashioned story of a domineering president falling in love with Cinderella. Except for the s and m plots where hormones break, everything is no different from the Mary Sue novel that once took a handful of female videos.

The media generally scoffed at the literary value of the book. When "Grey's Fifty Shadows" topped the bestseller list, the New York Times published a comment saying: "This book is poorly written, and some parts are extremely poorly described, and it cannot win any awards at all. If you can temporarily put aside your doubts and suppress the desire to slap such an unlovable heroine, then you may also like this book."

Even if the person who bought the book was not only used to describe and imagine certain taboo scenes with sensitive plots, he was also very dissatisfied with the plot of the novel.

Some netizens claimed: "I have never seen a publication that is worse than it is written. In contrast, Twilight has become War and Peace."

At the end of this month, when Publishers Weekly selected Gray's Fifty Shadows as the "Publishing Annual Publication", countless media mourned the "end of civilization".

But Hollywood has proved countless times that the widest demand for ordinary people in the world is far greater than the elegant spring and snow.

The hot sale of "Fifty Shadows of Gray" is undoubtedly the best reaction in this regard.

Readers complain about the boring writing of the novel, but keep spying on some of the plots, because the novel not only eliminates quirks, brings bundlings and whips into airport bookstores and reading groups around the world, but also eliminates the complexity of certain sexual behaviors, bringing them out of castles, boudoirs and other high-end French mansions and planting them on the land of the general public.

Even "The Fifty Shadows of Gray" has spawned countless works of quirks on the Internet, targeting the unspeakable fantasies in the minds of tens of millions of readers.

This kind of book is to make people find fun.

Therefore, Matthew also made certain ideas that future film adaptations should display those sensitive things within the maximum scale allowed by MPAA.

As for offline products such as DVD, it is better to make it into n-17 directly.

Perhaps in addition to normal advertising, you can also attract a unique sponsor? There are also big manufacturers that produce those utensils.

Next is the screenwriter. If you want a movie to be more interesting than a novel, the director is the most important thing, and the screenwriter cannot ignore it. If you want a screenwriter who adapts such a series of novels into interesting scripts, you must definitely find an old driver.

Whether it is a male or a female driver, they must drive frequently, and they also like the ones that do not take ordinary roads.

Matthew thought about the screenwriters he knew, whether Aziva Gossman, Chris Morgan, or Sophia Coppola, it was not very suitable.

The first two are taking the high-end commercial film route, while the latter is accustomed to screenwriters and directors.

With their status, they will not join this series.

Finally, he asked Helen Hermann to pay attention to see if he could find an experienced driver, preferably a female driver.

"You can adapt it yourself." Helen Hermann said directly, "When I went to your house half a year ago, I visited the first floor and saw an interesting game room."

Matthew did not deny it because he had no intention of keeping Helen Herman secret at that time, otherwise she would not have opened the door and looked at it casually.

Helen Herman continued, "You have rich experience and adapt your practical experience into the script. The video must be very interesting."

"With my writing skills, can I do it?" Matthew asked back.

"Yes." Helen Hermann said the basic facts, "Screen writing is an impossible character for you."

Matthew nodded, "My cultural foundation is too poor."

After several years of hard work, he spent a lot of time to solve the basic reading and writing problems. Now he can write something coherently and will not have the most basic grammar errors, but it is too far from writing.

Helen Herman thought for a while, "You can hire a screenwriter, it's better to be a female screenwriter. You dictate and then let her rewrite your dictation into a script from a professional perspective."

She suddenly laughed, "Screenwriter Matthew Horner, what a big gimmick."

Matthew resisted the urge to roll his eyes and said, "I remember you once said that you tried writing scripts when you were in school, right?" Before Helen Herman could speak, he quickly said, "It's better to be this screenwriter."

Helen Hermann held up his glasses, his face was not embarrassed at all, and he said calmly, "I am an economical person and cannot directly participate in the creation of the film."

"You only act as a gunman." Matthew said lightly, "The screenwriter only has my name on it, isn't that going to solve it?"

Helen Hermann didn't expect that the matter would finally be on his head. He glanced at Matthew and said, "Let's talk about the screenwriter when the director is confirmed."

Matthew nodded, "You find the director first."

For commercial films, directors are much more important than screenwriters, especially for such adaptations, the screenwriter needs to do a topic-setting essay.

Then, Matthew talked to Helen Herman about some secret planning and left her office until noon.

After going down the second floor and coming to the entertainment room on the first floor, Matthew found Margot Robbie who was bored to play games alone.

"I'll go to see Director Nolan later and have lunch with him." Entering the entertainment room, Matthew looked at Margot Robbie, "Are you going home or?"

Margot Robbie picked up his phone and shook it. "I received a call from my agent and I'm going to Warner Brothers first in the afternoon." She continued, "But Helen Hermann asked me to have lunch together, so you go there first."

Matthew nodded and was about to go to the Warner Building to find Christopher Nolan. Margot Robbie seemed to remember something and called him again.

"By the way, Matthew, your phone is here with me." Margot Robbie handed over a smart phone to Matthew.

When he got off the bus, Matthew's cell phone landed in the car and called Margot Robbie on the first floor to take it out so that anyone could not get the call.

Matthew took the phone and Margot Robbie said, "There is a girl named Emma who has called you."

Emma Matthew's two names Emma Watson and Emma Roberts immediately popped up inside his head. Except for these two people, it seems that no other girl knows her private mobile phone number, right?"

Margot Robbie said again, "She said something strange, saying that winter is coming, she is a little cold and wants to keep warm."

"I understand." Matthew didn't explain, and it was hard to explain such things. He could only say, "It's still the things that happened before."

Margot Robbie understood what this meant and said, "She seems to have a bad temper. I didn't understand. When she asked her to say it again, she actually scolded me directly, and I hung up the phone."

Matthew sighed inwardly and comforted, "Just leave her alone."

Margot Robbie nodded and said nothing.

After leaving the Angel Agency, thinking of the cold weather and his irritable temper, Matthew naturally knew that it was Emma Roberts who called. He opened his phone and looked at it. There was a strange landline number inside. He had no intention of replying the call. He got in the car and said to the driver directly, "Go to the Warner Building."

In ten minutes, Matthew met Christopher Nolan in a newly opened restaurant on the first floor of the Warner Building. The two met and discussed "Interstellar". Moreover, Christopher Nolan gave him several more books, all of which were about astronomy and technology, so he could take time to read them carefully.

This film involves many profound scientific principles at present. Matthew knew nothing about those things and could only do it with all his might.
