Vol 3 Chapter 248: Revised script

"Yes," Angela said with a smile.
If she only estimated as an actor, even if she back-starred in Legolas in "The Lord of the Rings", she also guest starred in a lot of guardian angels in "The Matrix" and won the Oscar's best again. "Supporting actress" is enough for ten thousand dollars. But the problem is. If you estimate from another identity, a well-known director, outstanding singer, country idol, and billionaire may not be able to impress her even if she has a pocket knife. .
So Angela is actually joking. Doesn't Hollywood have a 40,000 club? How about going around? However, in a sense she was actually rejecting Spielberg. Since the release of "The Lord of the Rings," film dealers have been coming to the door. In addition, she had a lively fight in the two later chapters of The Matrix, and now she played a lightsaber in the Star Wars prequel phenol released in the summer. Although most of the box office of these films are earned by their own word of mouth and charm. But it cannot hide her appeal.
She is a member of the most popular ring guard team. "Angela's posture of opening a bow is too handsome"; she is a guardian angel who has been turned over and over to figure out, "She does look good, but we want to know what it means" ; She is a memorable female Jedi master, "This is definitely the best idea for Lucas!"
Even though these films only showed half of her potential value as an actor, it was enough for filmmakers to still want to go on fire when they knew she had her own company and she was also a great director. Invite her to a role in the movie. Of course, they also knew that it was impossible to impress her with money. So various lobbying was conducted through many relationships. Angela was both annoyed and helpless. Those who act as lobbyists and middlemen are basically the top executives of various film companies. They can't refuse to be tough, so just take this opportunity to send an accurate signal to those filmmakers.
"This is really a thing," Spielberg made a few gestures, and the eyes behind the lens froze slightly. Then he suddenly exhaled, "What else is required? Let me hear it, Angie. "
"Nothing else." Angela shrugged. "Just ask for this umbrella."
"Really?" The old man's eyebrows suddenly raised again.
"Really!" Angela nodded extremely seriously.
"Well, when are you going to sign the contract?" Spielberg showed a satisfied look.
"If nothing else is busy," wait, what is signing a contract? "Angela stared at the old man suddenly.
"Now that we have reached a preliminary agreement, the next step is naturally to sign a film contract. Isn't it?" Spielberg said with a smile. "I promised you 40,000 films.
"Hmm" oh "this" Angela rolled her eyes, a little out of breath. But before she could speak, the other person had raised her finger and shook, "Don't tell me, Angel Sister intends to go back and forth."
Here the old man laughed deeply: "There are many ways to make a statement. You don't have to pass me or that sentence. Are you really not interested in this movie?"
Angela opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but then closed it again. it. It would be too cunning to let him hear it if it had been known for a long time.
How could it be uninteresting. First of all, the screenwriter was Andrew Nichol, an old acquaintance who once wrote "The World of Chumen". In addition, it was already attractive enough to talk to Tom Hanks behind. Andrew wrote an interesting story this time. Based on the real life of an inextricable exile stranded at Charles de Gaulle airport in France.
The general content of the script is: When Victor, played by Hanks, stepped into New York's JFK airport, a coup occurred in his home country, so all his identity documents such as passports became waste paper. He could only stay at the airport and couldn't go anywhere. He took a shower in the bathroom on the chair in the sleeping hall. Then live by serving passengers passing by. This life lasted several months. Victor also fully experienced American culture in the limited space of the airport.
Yes, that's right. This is the script of "The End of Happiness". However, it is interesting that in the memory of Angela, the heroine of the movie should be a stewardess almost forty years old, while the script in her hand is in her early twenties. Kind and optimistic young girl who has only been a stewardess for a few months.
"Do you know, Angie, when I was discussing with Andrew and several other screenwriters about adding Victor a stewardess who led him to understand American culture, I thought of you for the first time." Spielberg continued "" We will integrate the character you have shown into this role little by little. There is no better person than you. You have created a role for many people. This time, you may try others to give you How is your build? "
"Sounds, I should be honored, isn't it?" Angela replied with a smile, knocking on the table carelessly slightly, as if thinking something. The old man didn't say much, just sip the black tea in the cup and wait for the answer from the other side.
"Okay, it looks like I can't refuse, but I have other demands besides that." Angela suddenly turned her head, watching Spielberg say without blinking.
"I knew that the previous conditions were definitely not counted." The old man Ye Yu said. Then spread out his hand: "Okay, what is it? The pay has risen to 2.4 million Yingfeng?"
"You can't be naked, you can't have a passion show. You can't have a kiss show, Angela says straightforwardly.
"It sounds like you're going to star in a lonely heroine? ... Spielberg raised an eyebrow. He asked ridiculously.
"After listening to me, Steven" Angela shrugged. "If these two conditions are OK, let's talk about the most important one. Leave the script with me and I'll give it to you in a week."
"You want" to modify the script? "The old man looked surprised.
"Yes, and
I promise you will be satisfied.
. Angela put her hands on the table with a cross, and she seemed to tell the other side clearly that she would not talk if she did not agree to this condition.
Spielberg thought for a long time and didn't speak, but in the end he nodded: "Okay. Then let me see what the big screenwriter who has been nominated for the best script for ten consecutive years and the best script for three consecutive sessions can bring What kind of surprise i have
"Then wait and see. Angela said a long breath in her heart, and then jokingly reminded him:" Yes, the blade is worth ten thousand yuan, and one point is not small. "
Spielberg froze and laughed.
Angela's decision may seem casual, but in fact it can be said that it was well thought out. Although it's only a few minutes, many things go through my mind like a movie, so making this decision seems like a natural thing.
It is not difficult to revise the script within a week. The animated version of "The Matrix" has basically been discussed. The film department and the animation department accepted her suggestion and will cooperate with different top animators in Japan. Angela Except for providing ideas and appropriate advice, there is basically no involvement in production.
Therefore, there is currently only the latter part of the work of the Queen. As for the promotion of pre-Star Wars dramas and the invitations to various programs, it is basically possible to evade and quit, leaving a small back door on the contract anyway.
The revised script was quickly delivered to Spielberg, and the surprised old man immediately called: "This is your revised script ?! How did you join this plot?"
"What's the problem?" Angela asked lazily at the end of the phone. "Did the whole plot or the portrayal of the characters be bad? Or violate the main idea of ​​the script?"
"Of course not, you concentrated the story of those few, minor characters on one person to make the plot more compact. It's just" Spielberg over there seemed to smile a bitterly, "You need to know. You are a female protagonist
"Yes, of course I know," Angela said casually. "Or, do you think that I am just flying now, and I can't act like a woman with a concave age, right?"
There was silence for a long while. The old man finally breathed out a long breath: "You have given me a problem. Angie. This is true from common sense. But we all know that common sense does not work for you.
"So. Do you want to gamble, Steven?" Angela laughed.
"Frankly. I really want to see how you interpret a concave old mature woman. Just" said that there was a sudden silence there again, and a few minutes later the old man's full voice sounded: "That Just bet on it. "
"You won't regret it. Steven Angela said, turning off the phone. Then she breathed out again.
In the original script provided by Spielberg, Emilia is a kind and optimistic young girl who has just become a stewardess. She and Victor became friends in a very accidental situation. Tell each other their own stories. Spielberger used this role to guide the actor. A crash course on American culture at the airport, and the relationship between Emilia and Victor is pure and true.
But Angela changed the script to the original one. Victor met a beautiful and stewardess, and the two sparked love. Victor started to work hard in order to have dinner with Emilia, but Emilia was confused because she had an unknown side.
I was already looking forward to it. Angela looked at the phone in her hand, and the thoughts of her sister returned to Spielberg to find her, and in those few minutes, many things flickered across her mind.
At this moment, Jim's voice sounded: "Wow. It sounds like you are going to play a role over your age?"
"Is there any problem?" Angela shrugged. "People who play roles beyond their own age can be found everywhere. Lindsey in last year's" Hot Mom and Hot Girl "explained the middle-aged woman well.
"No no no, Anji, it's different." Jim's head shook like a rattle. "I watched that movie, because the mother and daughter exchanged their souls midway, so that made the audience. Compare the preconceived image of the previous daughter and the daughter-like form. It will let them automatically add points in their hearts. This is similar to the role of a child in a mature image. Because it is a child, it naturally adds points. Unless your new role is also as strong as "Hot Mom" Compare before and after, otherwise everyone's requirements will be much more demanding. "
Angela raised her eyebrows and was about to say a few words. Jim suddenly smiled and showed white teeth. Looking at her eyes we Hui: the second big and round! "How's my analysis. I've been in China for the past two years."
Reluctant to resist the urge to come to his head fiercely, Angela gave him a stern and funny white look: "Let's talk about your work first, how is the editing?"
"Okay, okay" Jim shrugged helplessly, and returned to his seat to bring out the edited picture. "I picked out about a few minutes from the documentary as you ordered, and then cut it into four small sections, and see if it works."
Angela looked at the screen, and the smile of Princess Diana was so familiar. Everything seems to have happened yesterday. She wiped her face. Then he patted Jim's shoulder: "That's it."
As she turned around and walked out, the inexplicable Ji Yun called to her: "Wait. Angie, is this over?"
Angela looked back and thought about it, then suddenly smiled and patted him again: "Good job."
"Hey, don't use this kind of words to perfuse me, don't you have any opinion?" Jim said dissatisfied, "This is not your style, Angie."
"What do you want me to say, is there something wrong with you here?" Angela looked at him with a funny look, and then sighed, "Remember what I said when I was preparing? I ca n’t bring in my own opinions and feelings too much during production, otherwise it ’s very bad. The reason why I asked you to cut out the necessary shots of Princess Diana from the documentary, in addition to believing that you can do well In addition, because my relationship with the princess is likely to affect my judgment.
Do you understand now? "
Jim made a few gestures, and finally spread out on both sides: "I see."
He followed his feet together and raised his chest with a standard military salute. He said with a full breath: "Guarantee the mission!"
In this regard, Angela smiled and rolled her eyes as usual.
All in all, the post-production of "Queen" went smoothly. Angela, who had no academic constraints, was not in charge of supporting roles or theme songs, but of course it was easier to make edits. Although the "Queen" she produced has been changed a lot according to the actual situation compared with the movie in memory, she has already conceived many pictures in her head before, plus the clips that have been trained in the past few years. The ability to make the film's post-production efficiency not worse than before.
, Million
After only passing through mid-August, the speed had to be reduced a lot, because "Happy Terminal" began to shoot. obviously. Spielberg's old man was already ready, and as long as she promised to act as the heroine, she could start immediately.
Although I have learned everything from all aspects, Angela was a little shocked when she came to the studio. Spielberg's team moved the entire Kennedy Airport to Los Angeles, with almost no ratio. Just after that, major airports have upgraded their security level. Of course, field shooting is impossible.
If only that was the case, at best, it would make people sigh for his generosity. But in addition, Spielberg also invited those who set up shops in the lobby of Kenny Force Airport to open a shop in this simulated airport. There are almost 30 or so Burger King, Starbucks, American Express cards, etc. A company came to this mock airport. Some businesses even hired their employees to do fake work, and really started business in mock airports. Even the businesses that hired extras to act as shop assistants carried out surprise professional training on these extras, striving to make them act like real employees.
"Very good. Steven, you have to admit, you are really brave." Angela looked at the mock airport and sighed in admiration, then narrowed and blinked: "Their advertising costs have been recovered. A lot of cost, right? "
"It's almost there. Just that. The rent for the big guy is up." Spielberg shrugged. Then pointed to the 7 offices rented from Boeing and parked outside. Previously, the old man had banged on the phone and asked if she could borrow Angela's private jet. Although she declined the request, she did not expect to get one.
It is indeed Spielberg. Angela thought so in her heart as she greeted greetings with other actors under the introduction of the old man, but she was so sad when she thought so
"It's worthy of Steven. I can invite the famous angel Miss to be the heroine." Tom Hanks and Angela shook a few words while shaking hands.
"When did Mr. Hollywood's good guys start to become so humorous?" Angela teased Hanks, even though she had only met each other socially for so many years. But it does not prevent her from expressing her favor.
"Mr. Well and humor don't seem to conflict, do they?" Spielberg stepped in again.
The three immediately laughed, and the old man waved his hand: "Well, let's get started, don't let everyone wait too long."
Angela and Hanks both nodded, but while Hanks walked to the set, Angela sat in her chair and waited. Spielberg had already told her before, and her camera was generally backward. Angela understands this. She understands that the old man wants her to brew well, after all, this is a challenge. 2k novel reading network
