Ignoring what had happened on the first day home and the growing awkward situations between you and your mother, you unpack all your luggage and store your life-time treasures in your room.You then borrow a typewriter from the storage and setup a temporary studio in one of the available study rooms.
Your mother didn"t mind you, but secretly, she is happy that you are so focus on your dream. She went to work as usual, but before she did, she told the housekeepers to give you whatever you need.
As you sit in front of the typewriter, you begin to think of what kind of movie to choose. There are so many great movies in your memory, but it has been a long time since you had lived in the other world.
If it wasn"t for an explosion on filming set in your previous life, you wouldn"t be here right now.
However, since your brain isn"t a computer, many of the things you remembered have already become blurred, even those Hollywood movies that took a lot of time and energy to study. Even if you could remember the main plot clearly, the details are almost forgotten.
This is especially true for movies that you have only seen only once or twice.
Your experience is also severely lacking. While you have studied for more than 20 years in filmmaking combined from both lifetimes, you haven"t really directed any film projects yourself. Therefore, you are a complete novice at being a Director.
And according your mother, the chances of getting an opportunity in Hollywood is very small, almost non-existence to those without connection. Luckily, you have a connection – via your mother and her advertis.e.m.e.nt company.
That aside, you must think very carefully what film you should be aiming for, considering your skills in photography and editing process. The film"s genre should also be popular in Hollywood during 1991 to 1992.
That mean romantic comedy or action movies!
Romantic comedy can be discarded immediately because you never good at romance. It explains why you haven"t had a girlfriend in like forever.
Sure, you have plenty of s.e.x during high school and college, but s.e.x and romance are a very different thing.
That would leave you with action movies!
Your mind immediately tries to recall names and general plots of several movies. You began trotting down whatever comes to your mind, such as perspective of the plot, lens usage, actors acting, lighting set, post-editing, dubbing sound tracts, props etc.…
The housekeepers come and go from your room, bringing you foods and coffees. You ignore them as you completely focus on your task.
After a few taxing hours and a lot of coffees, you have plenty of films from your list to choose from as your first script. However, there is a nagging problem in the back of your mind.
What if the film you choose to write a script for have already exists? The screenplays might already exist somewhere.
Before setting yourself up to be sued in the future for plagiarisms, you pick up your phone and make a few appointment calls.
You then left your house in a hurry and drive straight to a branch of the Writers a.s.sociation in Los Angeles. It is there that you can ensure your future is smoother and more trouble-free.
After paying a fee, you can check the current scriptwriter"s records. With the list in your hands, you check it against their records. Fortunately, the task isn"t long as the a.s.sociation"s database have been upgraded with a computer archive.
After the whole afternoon, you finally narrow down your list to a few possibilities. Most of the film on there had been crossed out. They already exist in the archive – hence you cannot use it to reach your stardom.
Of course, it is possible that the script has been written already, but it is just not filed in the archive yet. However, you will cross that road when the time comes.
And if you must go to court to fight copyright in the future, you sure you will be rich and powerful by then.
Good old America! Justice is blind to everyone except the rich and powerful.
You check your list once more time and then choose the most suitable movie for your debut. There is no difficult in doing this. You decide on you way back home, because the least investments with huge payouts is the most suitable for you.
You didn"t bother to use your all-seeing eyes to strip people on the street, as your mind is fully focus on your goal.
Back home, you immediately lock yourself back into your temporary studio and began working on the screenplay.
You have to use all your brain power to recall the film from your memory. It takes a lot of effort, and anything you recall, you immediate write it down on paper.
You have dinner alone, stick to your typewriter, typing away. Your mother didn"t say anything about it as she has an appointment she must attend. Being head of a company is difficult.
Once you remember as much as you can, you began typing on the typewriter. A simple word fills the blank white piece of paper.
Speed.
You were thinking of making John Wick a house-hold name, by which you mean Keanu Reeves.
John Wick: Chapter 4 was just too awesome to not exists in this new parallel world.
