A shy but talented music scout must find the next big thing — or lose his job — while battling to regain his hearing.
Check out a film called ‘Begin Again’ starring Mark Ruffalo and Keira Knightley.
You should start from the beginning; what sets this story in motion.
From reading this logline, what sets the lead character in motion is that he’s about to be fired.
So who is going to fire him? How about a new exec.
“When he’s about to be fired by the new exec the hired to cut the budget, a disaffected recording producer must find the “next big thing,” in order to keep his job.”
But even then, is this the real story, or is the story that he finds someone with talent but… they don’t want to be a singing star… or that they are rough around the edges… or that she’s young and her mom won’t let her sign a record deal.
In other words…
Is this the musical version of Glengary Glen Ross? (Produce or be fired)
Or is this a modern take on ‘my fair lady’? (turning an unknown into a superstar)
