And it can't please white people.
"How about changing the protagonist's friend to white?" Yeremov suggested.
"Change to white people? No, it will appear to be inconsistent with reality. The protagonist’s partners are two brothers. Changing one means that their family background must be changed. Then how do you make the plot of the death of the younger brother?" The two screenwriters Grieved.
It seems that even with the apocalypse of the whole movie, there is still a long way to go before the actual copy of the finished product. "I will replace my brother with a white man and give the protagonist's family back to their brothers."
Song Ya came up with the idea that the original white male protagonist was an orphan and lived in an adoptive family appointed by a welfare agency. That kind of adoptive family adopted children only for the subsidy of the welfare agency, and often adopted more than one, but for children who were not related by blood. Our education is naturally laissez-faire.
Therefore, there are occasional whites in black neighborhoods ganging up behind blacks, which is based on reality. In addition to this kind of adoption family, some impoverished white families who are unable to move out of slums where there are more and more black people have to let their children grow up in this environment, and they will become hip-hop like the original movie hero. Dressed up, smashing glass with black companions in a black accent, stealing cars, dancing hip-hop, the kind of people who have no sense of time.
"What about the protagonist's white sister?" the white screenwriter asked.
"Change to black." Song Ya said, "Just put the protagonist’s family background to my real family, copy everything from my aunt and sister. The protagonist’s two friends live in an adoptive family, so there is no blood relationship. White, my brother is black."
"That's the question again. What about the gag lines that the white brother is in charge of?" The black screenwriter was unhappy. "Those lines will be tasteless from the white mouth, and what about his personal settings that are expected to be in professional basketball?"
In the original movie, the protagonist was a dull white man who was not good at speech. Song Ya also continued this point. Just like what Escobe did in the movie of The Street Boy, the singer crossed the boundary for the first time. It is best not to try that A role that requires a high level of acting skills, this kind of dull and dull person is very helpful to cover up their unprofessional acting skills.
So his black friends are naturally responsible for the babbling and funny parts, just like Eddie Murphy has always done in movies, and he plays basketball very well, which is also in line with the usual stereotype.
"Black people talk and talk slang and gag. This is a stereotype, right?" Song Ya asked, "I remember a movie last year that white people could also jump in, so I tried to flip this stereotype. White people are dull and black people are shrewd. The whites dunk, and the blacks collected money. This anti-traditional characterization effect was unexpectedly good, and the box office proved this."
"Didn't you dislike that movie?" Taraji asked.
"Don't interrupt Taraji, I just don't like the actor Wesley Streep." Song Ya said: "But the movie itself is very desirable, and his performance is also impeccable."
"Okay~www.mtlnovel.com~ The white companion is responsible for gagging, you are responsible for basketball masters, and hip-hop masters." Everyone chatted enthusiastically and set the tone.
"If you change this way, the character of the protagonist's sister will be a bit cumbersome." Yeremov began to talk about the third question. "Since the protagonist's family background has changed, some conversations with her sister will have to be drastically deleted. ."
"Yes, change it." Song Ya nodded, "Continue to publish the second edition, but don't be too self-assertive." He doesn't want to change the original film beyond recognition, then the box office will be difficult to tell, although she does not know the film Whether it was successful in another time and space, but his intuition should be good.
"No, you are the one who pays." The script was customized as requested by the funder, and the two screenwriters had no opinion.
The discussion around the first version of the script continued until late at night. After Yeremov and the two screenwriters were sent away, Taraji took the jacket and helped Song Ya put it on. "Do you really want to shoot it?" She ask.
"When did you see me doing something without purpose?" Song Ya asked back.
"Well, the script is very good."
Taraji turned off the office lights, and the two of them walked to the elevator. "You can see that you have written a lot of life in it, such as the paragraph of Charity Theron." She asked: "You will take the heroine Give it to her?"
Not knowing the existence of Apocalypse, she reversed the causal relationship between the two things, Song Ya shook her head, "I have asked Amy to practice more."
"But the heroine won't be 100% hers, right?"
"Of course, this is my first movie. It must not be screwed up, otherwise I will become the laughingstock of Hollywood."
"Can the black female protagonist girlfriend give me the supporting role?" Taraji asked suddenly.
"What?"
"I learned acting at Howard University."
"Stop making trouble..."

Song Ya has become accustomed to the life of such a versatile assistant. Even the private meeting with Mariah Carey did not hide her from her. How could she let her be an actor, "You have a very good annual salary now. What's the point of remuneration? And in my future business empire, you will definitely have your managerial position. Compared with those Hollywood third-rate actresses who are working hard for a small role, it is not difficult to choose?"
What he said is not a picture, if he puts all his current business together, a proper medium-sized company.
"My ideal is to be an actor." She said: "If you don't be your assistant, I will have graduated now and go to Hollywood."
Her words made Song Ya a little unhappy, "Haha, so blame me for delaying your future?"
"No la."
She grabbed her arm and shook her like a child, "Just play as a role for me, okay?"
"It's also the second female girl. How could it be possible to play with someone? This is my first movie, and I can't fail." Song Ya is cold-blooded and ruthless, "and that character will sing on stage in the movie."
"Singing can be lip-synched, it is in many movies." After getting in the car, she did not go to the usual co-pilot seat, rushed to the back seat to help pinch her back and beat her legs.
"call……"
Song Ya was a little bit overwhelmed, "Come on, I haven't seen you so attentive normally, and I often roll my eyes. Then, can I give you another role?"
"That gangster woman, danced with you at the beginning and caused a fight?" Taraji read the script well.
"That won't work, I'm going to let Hallie come to help with a cameo."
That role only has one dance. Song Ya is going to find Halle Berry to dance. If the actors are not beautiful, such as Taraji, why should the male lead clashed with gang members for her? That way, the plot would be totally unconvincing, and of course he was not ruthless enough to say this directly to the assistant.
"Then there are no more female characters left? The principal of the art school?" Taraji was not reconciled.
"The headmistress must be white, and she must be older..."
Song Ya shook his head.
The plot of youth love plus musicals seems simple, but it is much more difficult to establish each character in a play than he had previously imagined. The art school in the movie is a metaphor for the survival of white people, rich people, and the male protagonist. The environment is completely opposed to the social characteristics, so the female principal must be white, and her appearance and demeanor must be elegant and aristocratic.
