Best Movie Star

There were only five people in the spacious conference room. Matthew, Helen Herman and Chris Kyle sat on the side, carefully looking at the script that was not too thick. Clint Eastwood, who led the script, and Clint Eastwood, who wrote the script Writer Jason Dean Hall waited patiently.

Matthew quickly flipped through the script, comparing it with the content of the original American Sniper.

The script is still very hard, like the original, without too much reflection and remorse, but Clint Eastwood still removes some of the overly sensitive things in the original.

Of course, the setting of the male protagonist is very similar to that of Chris Kyle in reality, and the recognition is also very high, which makes people know at a glance that this is a sturdy Texan.

As the second largest state in the United States after Alaska, Texas can be described as vast and sparsely populated, so the Kyle family has its own deer hunting farm, and it was here that Kyle owned it when he was seven or eight years old. Own shotgun and hunted all kinds of animals including turkey, pigeon, quail, wild deer.

Then there is the rumored special forces training.

According to the descriptions in ordinary literary works or novels and movies, these devil training must be full of secrets that are not passed on.

But Chris Kyle's description, no matter how good a soldier is, can't withstand the siege of a dozen people who have received basic military training.

For example, a sniper like him is relatively poor in hand-to-hand combat.

Clint Eastwood's script completely inherited the description of Chris Kyle in his autobiography, and the so-called secret or training of ten thousand enemies does not exist.

Regarding the "devil training" in the early stage of the "SEALs", it has been rumored in many film and television works, but whether it is Chris Kyle or Clint Eastwood, they all take it lightly. , while doing push-ups while being sprayed by the instructor’s high-pressure water gun, going out to sea in an inflatable rubber boat and then swimming back to the coast, lying on the icy beach and being baptized by the sea water, these trainings may be really hard to experience, but they are not beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

In addition, the script adopts flashbacks and interludes to a certain extent.

However, Matthew has communicated with Clint Eastwood before, and the script's narrative style is simple and clear enough to ensure that the film can be easily understood.

This isn't a show-off narrative film either.

Frankly speaking, Clint Eastwood is not the kind of director who likes to confuse things in Hollywood, and the films he makes are like his old cowboy-like character, and he is more straight-forward.

Otherwise, Matthew would not have asked him to be the director.

At the end of the script, there is a paragraph that does not exist in the original work, it should be the inner monologue of the male protagonist specially added by Clint Eastwood.

This monologue is very tough and has the force of a Texas cowboy.

"There are three kinds of people in this world, sheep, hungry wolves and shepherd dogs. Some people naively think that there are no devils in the world, and when hatred comes to their doorstep, they are unable to protect themselves. These people are sheep. The existence of opposites, They are predators who use violence. These people believe in the strong prey on the weak. They are like hungry wolves, preying on the weak. In addition, there are some people who are naturally kind but endowed with the gift of hunting. They guard the sheep. This small group of people are born It is to face the threat of the jackal, which is the shepherd dog. My family does not accept sheep, and if anyone wants to be a hungry wolf, I will never allow it. We protect our family."

Matthew closed the script without speaking, waiting patiently for Chris Kyle to finish reading the script.

"Can you tell me your opinion?" Chris Kyle deliberately didn't come over today without Taya Kyle, who tends to cause trouble, so that she would not point fingers at the script, but he still had some opinions on one of the main plots of the script. , and immediately said, "The terrorist I killed at a very long distance is not as described in the script. We don't know his past, and we only know that his name is Mustafa."

Clint Eastwood glanced at Chris Kyle and said, "The script needs to be more in line with the movie. As a sniper, you are very powerful, and there may be no one on the battlefield against you. There have been real threats, but in the film, as a heroic hero, you need to have a strong enemy worthy of you."

Matthew echoed, "The plot of the film needs twists and turns, and appropriate modifications to your enemies can make the plot of the film more attractive."

In the script, a fictitious terrorist sniper who worked for the opposition, Chris -: Kyle's main opponent is a sniper named Mustafa in the film.

Mustafa was mentioned in a passage in the original American Sniper, but the script casts him as a Syrian Olympic medalist, a Sunni insurgent for Fallujah and a Shiite Machi army life-threatening people.

These are all for plot needs.

Hollywood movies are adapted under the banner of real events, but it is not new to add material to the plot and characters. Everything is for the attractiveness of the movie after it is completed.

After all, for Hollywood, movies are, after all, a business.

Chris Kyle still trusts Matthew. Seeing what he said, he didn't express his opinion any more. The main plot of the script was settled, and some details can be revised later.

Of course, like all Hollywood biopics or autobiographical films, the scripted Chris Kyle is only very similar to the real Chris Kyle.

Few people who have seen more movies would think that the characters in Hollywood autobiographical movies are what they look like in reality.

Films, especially autobiographical films, can always express only one aspect of a character.

As for Chris Kyle, in addition to being a Texan, the reason why he mixed up with Matthew is to a certain extent, because the two have many similarities.

Once, Matthew said that he would donate all the profits from "Fast and Furious 4" to charity, and he did so, but the profits on the account were very limited.

Chris Kyle said something similar in an interview on a talk show after the book "American Sniper" was released -- donating all the proceeds from the autobiography to charities that help veterans.

Then, he found Matthew and asked if there was a suitable way to deal with it. Matthew recommended him to PricewaterhouseCoopers.

Under a reasonable and legal circumvention operation, Chris Kyle has only donated $52,000 so far, and put the remaining $3 million into his pocket.

Matthew has been in contact with him for a while. This American soldier may be inexperienced in society, but he has a bit of his style, and he can find a fairly upright reason and excuse for everything he does.

For example, when he dealt with Harvey Weinstein, he gave himself a reason to save his fellow Hollywood women from the shadow of the devil.

To keep yourself motivated, you must not only have enough desires, but also have a strong goal.

Whether this purpose is correct or not, as long as you think it is great enough, the whole person will be full of fighting spirit.

Chris Kyle, like him, is better at that.

Whether it's an autobiographical description or his usual remarks, Chris Kyle has retired from the service claiming to save his marriage and return to his family.

Many SEALs have been deployed overseas for a long time, dealing with high-intensity battles every day, witnessing their comrades are injured, killed, or even injured themselves. After a long time, it has a great psychological impact on anyone.

In addition, due to the long-term deployment overseas, the divorce rate of SEALs is as high as 80% to 90%, which is reasonable for him to choose to retire for the sake of his family.

And indeed this is the dominant factor.

But another noteworthy detail is that his contract with the U.S. Navy has expired at this time, and although he was born and died on the Iraqi battlefield, he could only be promoted to platoon commander. The huge psychological gap will inevitably lead to the emergence of this veteran. retreat.

Matthew's situation in Texas is not very clear, but after coming to Los Angeles, Matthew and Chris Keldo had contacts. After returning home, Kyle did have that kind of discomfort with the peaceful environment, but Far less serious, in fact, like many veterans of the Iraq War, he turned and plunged into the business of forming a private defense contractor (another word for mercenary) company, with Matthew and Nie Bo. Pull together to open that company.

Then, publishing his autobiography and participating in various reality TV shows are part of his business activities.

Chris Kyle took the lead to leave. Helen Hull, who had been silent, did not make any suggestions. Matthew did not leave and continued to communicate with Clint Eastwood about the film itself.

Neither of them have taken the Iraq battlefield, and in addition to Chris Kyle ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ will also hire a number of SEALs who have fought in Iraq as temporary consultants.

Matthew has heard Brown-Williams talk a lot about Iraq and knows that the battlefield is far more brutal than expected.

Using a cell phone in close proximity to the US military is dangerous in Iraq, and users are often targeted by US snipers because they are often seen as anti-US fighters attempting to detonate suicide bombs with their phones .

In addition, passers-by walking on roads frequently patrolled by the US military with tools such as shovels are often killed by US snipers, because the tools in their hands are suspected to be used to bury roadside suicide bombs, and they may only be Be a farmer or a construction worker.

Chris Kyle himself admitted this.

As for whether his gun is a ghost, even he himself can't tell.

Matthew is not a saint, nor is he stupid enough to speak from an Iraqi standpoint in the film, and Iraqis will not buy into his film.

As a film with high investment, it must first please the audience in North America.
