Chapter 37: Reception (2)

. "Linda was actually injured when she filmed the last scene in the factory, but she didn't say it, and the staff didn't know, so I always asked them with the usual requirements, and finally shot the steel furnace repeatedly. After some time, I found her calf inconvenience, but I still insisted on shooting and yelled at the people who discouraged me. I didn't let the staff take her to the hospital until it was completely over. "The middle-aged man with a stubble but attractive look in the middle of the crowd shrugged and said to himself:" They're right to call me a tyrant on the set. "
Everyone around laughed lightly. Mr. T-800 raised his wine glass in his hand: "Whatever you say, you are the best, James!" He turned to the lady standing next to James, Jokingly: "You too, Linda, you are a real strong woman, not just in movies."
"Thank you, Arnold, but it's better to be a strong woman occasionally, or some people won't sleep." Linda Hamilton in a silver-gray low-cut evening dress smiled and stunned James at her side. Cameron glanced.
"No, no, no, I will never sleep, believe me, dear, that will only make me sleep better." James exclaimed, raising his hands exaggerated, letting the people around him laugh again, two It was almost a semi-public secret that people sparked sparks when shooting "Terminator 2".
"I have to say, Jim, your" Terminator "is awesome. Fortunately, our movie is not the same as your audience, and it is staggered. Otherwise, maybe there will not be this reception today." Pumping The old man Michael Eisner who came to the party time and patted James said that the relationship between them was very good.
"That is, of course, Michael. There will be more movies to give way to my movies in the future!" James Cameron laughed. Although a little arrogant, "Terminator 2" has basically been laid Given his status as a master, he did have such capital.
Although he knew his personality, Michael reminded him: "I heard that the original budget of this movie was 50 million, and then you asked them to add an additional investment of 20 million? And then you asked them to add 20 million more. , But was rejected. "
"I just want to say that Colombia's directors are all ghosts, and if they are willing to add another 20 million, I can make the film more perfect." James said dissatisfied. For his perfectionist, never Will be too little money.
"Jim, this is not the case. If you always overspend when shooting, then who will invest in your movie in the future."
"There will always be people, Michael, you bet it will eventually reach 180 million. Since you have money to make, how can you not find investors!" James said indifferently.
"200 million!" A clear voice came in from the outside, "in the end the box office was 200 million!"
Several people who had been whispering about each other could not help looking at the sound source at the same time. It was a very beautiful little girl. She stood with her hands on her chest, not far behind James, and her round face was like There is a smile, bright green eyes give people a dreamy color. The whole person has a naive and lively atmosphere, like a little lady, but at the same time shows mature taste, contradiction and unity, people do not want to remove their eyes .
"Hi, this is Linda Hamilton. Can you tell me your name?" Linda, who always loves children, came to the little girl and asked with a smile.
Before waiting for the little girl to speak, Michael Eisner has come over and introduced, "This is one of the protagonists tonight, Miss Angela Mason."
"Really?" Linda was a little surprised, and looked at the little girl carefully before she sighed: "It's amazing, Miss Mason, you can look more beautiful than in the movie."
"Thank you, Ms. Hamilton, you are a lot thinner than it looks in the movie. I can't believe you and that strong woman will be the same person." Angela smiled and stunned Michael, remembering when George introduced , Said he was Disney ceo, but seems to have seen it before.
"My dear, you can really speak." Linda hid her mouth and laughed. "You can call Linda."
"Okay, Linda, you can also Angela." The little girl nodded ladylikely, then came to James Cameron and stretched out her hand: "I'm glad to meet you, Mr. James Cameron, I am Like your movie. "
"I'm also glad to meet you, Miss Mason." James' eyes stared at her flickering. If it wasn't for Angela's understanding of this talented and talented director, I'm afraid he would be a strange uncle.
"You can call me Angela." The little guy shrugged.
"Well, Angela, although I'm glad you can be so sure that the box office of" Terminator 2 "can reach 200 million, but can you tell me why you are so sure?" James asked with interest, including Mr. Governor in Everyone showed a look of attention, and everyone was curious, why did the little girl say such a thing.
"It's very simple," Angela raised her finger without a panic, and said with a smile: "First, it's" Terminator 2. "
Then put up a second finger: "It's directed by James Cameron!"
Everyone looked at each other in puzzlement. It was a ridiculous thing to say such a flattering word from the mouth of a little girl, but the little one continued to say quickly: "Terminator 2 will become science fiction A classic in film history, there is no doubt that this film will be tied with Mr. Stanley Kubrick's "Space Odyssey 2001" and Mr. George Lucas' "Star Wars" because " For the first time, "Terminator 2" will be "will human beings be destroyed by robots created by themselves?" This question is presented in the most intuitive image in front of everyone. This is the same as that in "Terminator 1" purely relying on blood and Fighting to attract viewers is fundamentally different! "
As soon as this sentence was spoken, everyone in the room opened their mouths, but Angela didn't seem to intend to let them go. A series of comments came out of her mouth again, comments on the entire movie, and James' shooting methods. Analysis, the use and integration of stunts, etc., almost told the previous life about "Terminator 2" about the praise and praise, so that people around, whether it is Mr. Governor or Ms. Linda, or James, Michael can hear Faint, fortunately, Angela still kept some soberness, took a lot of technical terms, and tried to tell from the perspective of a little girl, otherwise God knows how people will react.
"... So with this writing factor in it, it is normal for the US box office to exceed 200 million. I believe the box office outside the United States may be more than 300 million." Angela finally ended her speech.
"My God, this is the most informative and accurate comment I've heard!" James suddenly picked up the little girl, and kissed her the cheek.
Although she couldn't stop panic, she didn't show her face, but frowned. "Mr. James, maybe you should shave your beard."
"I'm sorry, I'm very sorry," James said after the excitement, he put her down and kept apologizing. "I'm so excited."
"It's not surprising. Even I was surprised. Miss Mason, are you really only 11 years old?" Arnold Schwarzenegger nodded and said that he very much agreed with Angela's analysis of the role image.
"Angela, dear, did you really analyze it alone?" Linda asked at this moment.
"Most of them are my opinions, and there are some references to many movie reviews." Angela shrugged. Well, these are indeed her opinions in a broad sense.
"It's incredible, it's really shocking." James couldn't help but wonder after James calmed down completely, but Michael took the topic: "It's nothing incredible, I think you are watching" When I was born, I didn't notice that Nancy's name was written under Miss Mason in the column of the screenwriter. "
Everyone was stunned, and James reacted for a long time: "Michael, are you saying that your current screenwriter is Angela? Are you joking?"
The old man spread his hands with a smile and didn't answer directly, but the meaning was already obvious.
"You really surprised me, Angela, did I say I was getting older?" James said jokingly.
"I just did some processing on my life, and it's not too difficult." Angela shrugged.
"Look, Angela is starting to be humble again, you know that she finished a first-class script not long ago." Michael said at this time.
"Oh? What script?" James said with interest.
"You won't be interested, Jim. At least I haven't seen you make a romantic comedy movie."
"Come on, Michael, whether I can shoot you or not."
Seeing that two people were entangled on this issue, the little girl stuck her tongue out and wanted to slip away. She had planned to come and meet the talented director who pursued perfection and almost broke the film company and the future of bodybuilding Mr. Governor, but after getting hot, she said too much. At this time, she also vaguely remembered that he seemed to have seen Michael Eisner at his father's reception before. He just said so much that he was clearly thinking, so he left quickly and waited for the reception to finish.
But the idea was good, but it was not always possible. When she secretly backed up when everyone's attention was on James and Michael, she bumped into a person and accidentally stepped on his foot. on.
