“Daniel, here’s your chance.”

When he heard his agent say such words on the phone, Daniel Kaluuya’s heart almost jumped out of his throat.

“what chance?”

“Mr. Meyers is going to make a horror movie, and you will be the leading actor.”

“What, this is true! ?”

The agent’s words made Daniel Kaluuya almost jump.

“It’s true, it’s true, Mr. Jeff Raymond called himself -”

“No audition required?”

“No, Mr. Meyers assigned you to play the role”

“God I can’t believe it”

“Haha, I just heard the news and couldn’t believe it. Dude, you’re going to play the male lead.”

“That’s great, that’s great”

Meyers Films Headquarters Building

“Martin, why did you choose to make a horror film this time? It’s not easy for a horror movie to be a hit, so I’m a little worried. Drew said while looking at the script.

Martin smiled and said:”Don’t worry, dear, others may fail when they suddenly switch to making horror films, but I won’t. Don’t forget, I was making horror films back then.” I still hold the box office record for horror thrillers”

“But, that’s you as an actor”

“Not only actors, but also screenwriters, and you have also seen the storyboards I drew. It is no different from the director, all the scenes are in my head. You should read my script first, I think it will surprise you”

“Okay, okay, let me take a look first.”

Drew lowered his head, opened the script, and read it attentively.

At a glance, he knew that this was still a thriller and horror story.

This was just a literary script, and Martin was still working on professional scripts and storyboards.

But even if It is a literary script, and with Martin’s profound storytelling skills and excellent writing style, it still looks very attractive.

“Chris is a young black man who is in love with a white girl, Ruth. In order to take the relationship further, they plan to let their parents meet. Chris is invited by Ruth to spend the weekend at her parents’ house, and nothing seems amiss. When Chris met Ruth’s parents, he found that they were very enthusiastic about him.”

“In this small town, Chris gradually felt the strangeness of the people around him. When the clues accumulated bit by bit, he discovered that there was a quite terrifying conspiracy hidden behind this meeting. What awaits Chris will be a dark and bloody journey……”

“Wow, amazing ending. Martin, you are such a genius. Your idea for this horror film is very original!”

Drew saw the end of the script and was shocked by the sudden reversal. At the same time, his hair stood on end, and his confidence in his man also increased a lot.

Just reading the script is so scary, if it is filmed…

Moreover, this The script is not just scary, but also has many meanings worth thinking about and digging into. It makes people shudder and makes people think at the same time. At this time, she thought of another question,”If a black man plays the protagonist, is it possible?” risk?”

“Ivanka has done some data evaluation, and now the box office market for black people has matured, and as long as the movie is attractive, it doesn’t matter what skin color the male protagonist is – think about Will Smith and Jack Chan, who are not white. And having a black protagonist as the main character makes the ending of this story even more shocking, doesn’t it?”

Asking for flowers

“Okay, you convinced me.”

Three days later, the”Escape” project was officially approved.

Daniel Kaluuya also received the complete script of the film

“Oh Shet, I’m getting goosebumps.”

This was Daniel Kaluuya’s first reaction after reading the script.

He touched his arm and started to read it a second time.

While reading, he began to think about the character and also made a biography of the character. (Read Baoshuang novel, Go to Flyoo Novel Network!)

In Daniel Kaluuya’s view,”Escape” is a story that makes people think deeply. It does not have too many stomach-churning bloody and violent scenes, and there is not a single scene. The plot is shocking and confusing, and there is no shot of LUO showing off his eyeballs. The scare in the plot will never appear when you think it is coming, but the atmosphere created in the script makes people feel spine-tingling all the time. Cool.

The male protagonist Chris is always thinking about how to protect himself, always hiding and escaping, and never seeking death.

When he connects the clues step by step, the secret hidden behind gradually emerges, and this secret is bigger than It’s bolder and scarier than anything you can imagine.

Compared to Martin’s previous films,”Get Out” has a smaller scene and fewer main characters, but Daniel Kaluuya doesn’t feel at all that this story is any better than those. The special effects blockbusters are inferior to them, and I even think they are even better.

“This is an Oscar-worthy story. If it wasn’t a horror film, it might actually win.……”So he thought.

To be honest, when Martin saw this film from the memory of China Martin, he also felt that the screenwriter was a genius.

In the original timeline, this movie not only achieved huge box office success at a very low cost.

At the same time, it was still in the awards season, and it went all the way to the Oscars, received multiple nominations, and finally won the Oscar for”Best Original Screenplay”.

It is not an exaggeration to say that it is an Oscar-worthy story.

At the same time, in Martin’s manor, Scarlett also fell in love with this story

“Wow, I get to play the heroine, this evil badass woman.”
