Next day Aiden went to film university. He went to Sean's office and told "Professor I want to talk with you for a movie script. " Sean replied " Aiden are you going to talk about the short film. What have you thought. "
Aiden replied " Well Professor I have not thought about it. Actually I want to talk about another film. " saying this Aiden was showing a copy of his novel "Behind the scenes" to Sean.
Seeing the novel Sean replied I have already read it when was published and I quite liked it. So are you thinking about making of movie based on this novel.
Aiden replied in Yes. But Professor actually I am pretty confused on what type of project it should be. I plan to make it a small budget movie of 5 million dollars so I wonder should it be a film or a webseries. Although the novel has such a unique storyline I donot think it can be a box office hit.
Sean replied" I am glad you made such an observation. The Hollywood audience is quite unique. Check your hit movies too, Action King or Black Saints or 30 Days of Hapiness. All these movies were trendsetters. So I believe although the novel can be a streaming hit, it is tough to make this film a box office hit as people would like to watch the story of struggles more in their own homes rather than watching in box office.
He added" But Since you are acting and you will be making the albums I believe you can easily make profits on a 5 million dollar project.
He added Its also better to modify the script almost fully as a lot of people would not watch the film if its same as the novel.
Returning home Aiden began to think about what Sean had said. Finally he decided to go for a film because a film is only around 2 hours but a series would have minimum 15 hours of content. So it was realistically impossible to make a good series in a low budget.
Finalizing the format he started working on the script. He began to write and then deleted it feeling it was not a good one and rewrite. He was feeling that he needed to somehow completely change the course of the story. Finally an idea came to his mind and he started writing it.
Noone knew that Aiden was preparing script for a film which was going to be a sleeper hit.
