[US Entertainment] Hollywood reverses life

Damien Chazelle.

Americans are not familiar with this name now, because he is only a student of Harvard University.

Although his dream is to make movies and his interest is to play jazz, he has not succeeded in any of them.

He wrote a lot of scripts during his college years outside of his courses, and he felt that maybe one day he would sell them, and even if he couldn't sell them, he would be able to make them into movies himself.

He has written many scripts, but basically no one cares about them, he can only write some horror scripts.

Among those scripts that no one cares about is the musical film "La La Land", which will be shortlisted for 2017 Oscars at the 14 Oscars in the future, and finally won 4 awards.

It's just that his classic scripts "La La Land" and "Burst Drummer" haven't met anyone who appreciates them.

He had to do it himself, and made a black-and-white musical film "Guy and Adeline on a Park Bench."This is Chazelle's first work, and it is also the prototype of "La La Land", but due to insufficient funds, the filming of this film stopped.

Damien Chazelle.

Joey's mind was full of the man's name.

She wants to find him.

She is going to bring the musical film "La La Land" that shocked the entire United States to the Broadway stage.

She believes that this excellent and exquisite script will definitely shine on the Broadway stage.

She found it, under a camphor tree full of plant smell.

Damien Chazelle is discussing with his good friend, Justin Hurwitz, the future famous Hollywood jazz soundtrack master, about the soundtrack for a self-made movie.

Because Joey was eager to rehearse the musical, she stopped being polite and briefly explained the purpose of her visit. She learned some news about his script "La La Land" from some investors. I am very interested and want to adapt it into a stage play, hoping to buy the copyright of the stage play of "La La Land".

At the same time, I also hope that Justin Hurwitz can personally write the music in this musical. She knows that he has almost created it.

In the future, "La La Land" will go down in several cities in Hollywood, and the greatest contributor is the composition of this master. After all, "La La Land" is a musical movie, and the actors basically sing and dance while acting.In this movie, the master used his talent for jazz to conquer all audiences with jazz.

She knew that Damien Chazelle was a genius who won the Oscar for best director at a young age, and she also hoped that he could participate in the writing of the script of "La La Land".

The two young people were taken aback by Joey's arrival. They never even dreamed that "La La Land" would have people from Broadway wanting to buy it.

Most importantly, the one in front of me is Joey Grant!

Idol!Their idol!

This genius director actually fell in love with his "La La Land"!

Can he not agree, after all the idols have spoken.

Damien Chazelle.He agreed to sell the copyright of the stage play of "La La Land" and negotiated for 30 knives in one breath. He is already very happy. As a fledgling newcomer, his play will soon be put on the Broadway stage?

Didn't you hear that the plays on Broadway are basically adapted from famous novels or famous movies?

Can such an unknown screenwriter's work be performed on Broadway?

Surprise.

At the same time, Damien Chazelle also agreed to participate in the adaptation of the song and dance script of "La La Land". Joey knew that Damien Chazelle was also a genius-like winner in life, and his talent, talent and persistence were serious and unmatched. If she loses to anyone, he will do the same thing, and he will provide her with a satisfactory answer, so she will be at ease if she gives it to him.

The transaction for the copyright of the purchased version of the script was concluded, and a contract was signed with the parties in the next few days.

She is now ready to break the news to the cast.

When she returned to the theater and waited for all the members to arrive, she would tell the news, and they would have a new script coming soon.

The stage actors below all showed puzzled expressions.

"New script? Already bought the copyright?"

"Is it based on some famous old movie, or some original book?"

Asking this question is a very natural process, because on Broadway, those famous musicals, stage plays, musicals, dramas, etc., basically have the original original form.

Most of them are scripts adapted from well-known old movies, famous novels and other popular original works, such as old-fashioned operas "Phantom of the Opera" and "Les Miserables", or "Hairspray" and "Spring Awakening", which have become popular in the past two years ", etc., or adaptations of well-known historical events, such as "Chicago".

So when Joey said, "There is no original script, I found an original script. It's called La La Land."

"La La Land? I've never heard of something. Which playwright wrote it?"

Joey smiled frankly, "It wasn't written by any playwright, it was written by a Harvard student."

"WTF? Are you making an international joke, do you think we are a test case?"

"Are you kidding us? Let's rehearse an original play written by a Harvard student? Do you know that the script is the soul of musical theater? Can an inexperienced playwright write a good play?"

"That's right, this is Broadway! It's not a place for you to practice writing! Although we have no plays to rehearse, we can't be so casual!"

Joey tried to quiet their excitement, "I know this is a bit hard to accept, but this script is very good, and it is also very suitable for adaptation into a musical."

"It's not up to you, you inexperienced director."

"What about the music? Who did the composition?"

Joey looked at them who were filled with righteous indignation, and replied calmly and restrainedly, "The composition was also created by a Harvard student. This is a jazz genius."

As soon as the voice fell, the bottom was fried immediately!

"jazz?!"

"WTF!"

"Aren't you out of your mind? You actually use jazz? Director, do you intend to use jazz for the entire musical?"

Joy is not plausible, but just expounding the facts, "Yes, the whole play is composed of jazz music."

"Do you think you are rehearsing "Chicago"? For so many years on Broadway, there are very few musicals that can use jazz to cause a warm response. Besides "Chicago" and "West Side Story", which jazz musical can you remember? ?”

"That's right, jazz is generally used more in those light musicals in Europe. On Broadway, jazz is an imported product, and there are almost no works that can be used well."

It's not that they are so against jazz, but that it turns out that there are very few audiences who can really appreciate jazz on Broadway. When it comes to jazz, besides "Chicago" or "Chicago".

But the director of "Chicago" is a genius!

Can you break out with "Chicago" at a time when jazz is the least important thing on Broadway, but can Joey do it?

She is just a newcomer who has never directed a stage play, and she wants to use her Hollywood routine to come to Broadway, then she is waiting to die!

They don't want to accompany her to die!

They also want to continue their careers!

Moreover, the script was written by a college student, and the composer was also a college student, which is really whimsical!

Did she really think her eyes were x-rays?crack shot?

Be more confident!

Everyone below looked at Joey with a straight face, as if they were about to fight with their sleeves.

Joey knew that he couldn't do it if he didn't suppress them. If this continues, there will be a peasant uprising.

She looked at the crowd coldly, "I have already made a decision, and the contract with the theater has been signed. If any of you are unwilling to act, I agree with you to leave now, but I hope you can think clearly, most of you People who love stage plays or want to develop a second career, most of them have their own jobs, and only this idle theater will accept you, leaving here you have nowhere to go, other theaters must recruit professional actors."

Joy continued: "I hope you believe me, this is a chance we give each other."

After listening to her words, the people below still didn't buy it, and they all looked at Joey aggressively.

"Director, we hope you reconsider accepting this job, or reconsider the script to be rehearsed and the way to score, otherwise we cannot compromise."

Joy was silent for a moment, and didn't ask them to think it over right away, she decided to give them some time. "My thoughts and goals will not change. I know that you need to consider the time, think clearly, and report tomorrow. I hope that since you choose to stay in this theater, you will believe in the choice of this theater and my choice. "

After speaking, she opened the door of the dressing room first and left.

After she's gone, you can hear exploding curses coming from the locker room.

"We're going to the theater manager's office to complain now!"

"I've had enough of this woman. What else can she do besides pretend? Who can show her aloofness all day long!"

"This woman only knows how to pretend all day long! She doesn't understand anything at all! She doesn't understand musicals! She doesn't understand Broadway! Have you Googled her past? She is a scum of drugs, alcohol, and hedonism! This woman, she's fucking terrible!"
