"The Mind Catcher" tells the story of Will, a teenager who has excellent mathematical skills but cannot use it for the right path and is willing to be a cleaner. With the support of mathematics professor Lan Bo, psychologist Sean, and friends, he finally opened his heart, walked out of the shadow of loneliness, and achieved himself.

This is a story about "a prodigal son who returns and doesn't change gold". Not only Chinese people like this tone, but even Americans also like it.

For example, in "The Romance of Mom", Barney, as a famous New York playboy, ended up falling in love with Robin and having a break from his previous unruly self, and finally became a self-disciplined single father.

For example, in "Iron Man", Tony Stark was also a famous playboy before becoming Iron Man, but after becoming Iron Man and falling in love with Little Pepper, he suddenly realized that he had become the twenty-four good boyfriends.

Of course, the routine of "the prodigal son returns and does not change gold" is not new. The reason why "The Spirit Catcher" has gained nine nominations at the Oscars is that its story is well told.

Most of the article "The Mind Catcher" is focused on the psychological offensive and defensive battle between the rebellious genius Will and the psychologist Sean. The two sides fought verbally, and they collided with each other, creating a spark of wisdom.

This is not common in other Hollywood movies. The new bottle of old wine has made the clichéd story of "the prodigal son returns and never changes gold" come alive.

...

Xia Tian is not unfamiliar with the story of "The Spirit Catcher". He has watched it many times in his previous life.

It has to be said that Robin Williams' acting skills are really superb and amazing. As a young actor, Matt Damon is not at all inferior when playing against this old actor, which shows his talent.

So Xiatian gave a very high review of this movie. At least, he felt that he could not write such a good script.

Of course, this is also related to the national conditions.

Psychology therapy is a very common thing in the United States. Many people have their own psychologists who will tell them their worries and ask for help from them.

Chinese people prefer to bury their worries in their hearts, and they will never even say some privacy out of their lives. If they really need help, they are more inclined to burn incense and worship Buddha, ask for a fortune teller, and do not consider telling their privacy to a stranger.

Therefore, domestic psychotherapy-themed films and TV series are not good at all. Even if there are a few occasionally, most of them are set as mentally ill patients with mental illnesses.

It is worth mentioning that this is actually not helpful for promoting psychotherapy. Ordinary people also need psychological counseling, but because of the defilement of film and television publicity, people think that people who see psychologists are crazy, which makes people feel like "disguised and avoided doctors".

...

"Mart, I have to say, your script is very well written." After reading it, she smiled at Matt Damon, "You are very talented, very thoughtful, and really good."

"Really? Thank you Mr. Xia." Matt Damon was very happy when he heard this.

Affleck also hugged Matt excitedly, "It's really great."

This script was actually written by the two of them together. The reason is that Ben Affleck is tired of starring in youth idol movies and is tired of making vases. Matt Damon is unable to find a performance opportunity because of his limited appearance.

So they both wanted to write the script themselves and then star in it themselves. This "The Spirit Catcher" is the result of their efforts.

"Are you planning to cooperate with us in this script, or are you going to find other partners?" Xia Tian asked with a smile again.

"Of course we are willing to cooperate with you." Seeing Xia Tian ask, Matt Damon immediately blushed with excitement.

"Mr. Xia, Matt has another condition, I hope you can agree." Seeing that Matt agreed so happily, Affleck hurriedly poked him secretly and said.

"Yes, Mr. Xia, I still have a condition." Matt Damon suddenly realized and quickly added.

"You probably want to be the leading actor yourself, right?" Xia Tian said with a smile.

Matt Damon and Ben Affleck were all shocked when he heard Xia Tian say this. Unexpectedly, Xia Tian guessed their thoughts thoroughly. It was incredible.

"How did you know?" Matt asked in surprise.

"I think the role positioning in the script is very similar to you. I think you must have based yourself on your own when writing this script?" Xia Tian said with a smile.

When Matt heard this, his face turned red. When he was writing this script, he did put himself in the protagonist. But this is not surprising, because this movie was written for him.

"Don't be embarrassed." Xia Tian smiled, "It's not that you can be the protagonist. The premise is that your acting skills must keep up. You must know that the role of "Will" is not simple."

"Mr. Xia, there is absolutely no problem. I can definitely act well." Seeing that Xia Tian was willing to let him act, Matt Damon immediately nodded and said.

"Okay, then let's settle it for now." Xia Tian smiled, "When the time comes, if you want to be shot after the audition, I can't help you."

"I won't." Matt Damon waved his hand quickly.

"Well, I hope you won't, too." Xia Tian nodded.

Seeing that Xia Tian was really willing to invest in this drama and really agreed to let Matt be the starring actor, Affleck couldn't help but be happy for his old friend.

...

"The Mind Catcher" was then handed over to Jerry Brookheimer by Summer, and the film was officially put into production.

According to Summer's guidance, the protagonist of "The Mind Catcher" is still starring Matt Damon and Robin Williams.

The reason why Xia Tian didn't promise the protagonist directly to him in front of Matt Damon was actually because he was afraid that he would be proud.

The ancients said it well that arrogant soldiers will be defeated.

There have always been many people in the entertainment industry who have climbed Gao Zhier and are so arrogant that they don’t know what their surname is. As a result, when they are abandoned by Gao Zhier, they will immediately penetrate the center of the earth and fall into the people who everyone calls for beating.

Summer likes young talents like Matt Damon, but he doesn't want his normal trajectory to be disturbed by his care.

It is worth mentioning that Ben Affleck did not appear in "The Mind Catcher" like he did in his previous life.

Because he is taking on the filming of "The Butterfly Effect" of Summer, and Summer will never allow actors to play, and no matter how famous actors are, they cannot. Ben Affleck naturally does not have the courage to pick up Summer's tiger beards.

However, although Ben Affleck did not go, his younger brother Cassie Affleck had an awkward role in the movie, playing Matt Damon's classmate.

Cassie Affleck is also a well-known Hollywood movie star, but unlike his older brother Ben Affleck who often takes the commercial route, Cassie Affleck made more appearances in art films.
