SCRIPT DEVELOPMENT

There is nothing new under the sun. We always see our own lives in the stories of others on the screen. That's why the movie knows no boundaries.

Storytellers are always inspiring each other. Billy Wilder, one of the most brilliant and versatile filmmakers of the Hollywood Golden Age of cinema, was born in Austria and his native language was not English; 2019 Best Picture Oscar Winner, Parasite, was a Korean film; Martin Scorsese’s The Departed (2006) was remade from a Hong Kong movie Internal Affairs.

In recent years, Chinese practitioners have also begun to buy copyrights from abroad: A Woman, A Gun And A Noodle Shop (2009) was remade from the Coen Brothers' film Blood Simple (1984); The Miracles of the Namiya General Store (2017) was rewritten from a Japanese novel of the same name; Everybody’s fine (2016) was adapted from an Italian movie that was also remade in Hollywood.

A good story should never lack an audience, no matter where it is. In Hollywood, a host of talented writers longing for the opportunity to have their cherished scripts put on screen.
