Hollywood Secret Garden

Chapter 773 Intense Christmas File

"A great movie!" Angela waved her hand excitedly after taking off the 3D glasses. The screen of an imax theater is already bigger than that of an ordinary theater, and the impact produced by the 3D processing is far beyond ordinary 3D cinema.

"Except for the huge visual impact, I don't see anything special about it." Natalie next to her took off her glasses, took a long breath and rubbed her temples. Obviously, the huge impact made her a little uncomfortable.

"But... at least it's very beautiful, it's very... shocking, isn't it?" Jessica retorted a little first, but she couldn't explain her point of view well for a while, so it sounded a little bit Unconvincing.

Fortunately, Angela took over the topic in time: "You must look at the problem comprehensively, dear Nat, I admit that this story lacks novelty, but it cannot be denied that it has made a major breakthrough in technology, can't it? The first thing people need when they go to the cinema It is relaxation or stimulation, followed by thinking through movies, and putting the cart before the horse is very bad."

"Nat just said one sentence, don't you need to criticize like this?" Scarlett interjected from the side.

"Why? Is it wrong to criticize?" Angela spread her hands with a smile.

"Yes, I support Angie!" Kayla on the other side immediately stated.

"Kyla doesn't seem to realize it yet." Avril and Liv, who were sitting in the front row, whispered, "The more Angela loves someone, the more she likes to hit him in this kind of place. She likes to control everything with a strong force."

"You mean, Angie doesn't actually love us?" Liv replied after thinking about it.

"Well..." Avril was stunned, but she smiled again after a few seconds, "I actually want to say that we are happier than Nat, because we can peel off Angie's strength without any difficulty."

"Really," Liv thought about it again, "but I remember, when we chatted before, you said that you were just Angie's... private pet for a while! Is that the word?"

"Liv!" Avril's eyes widened, "We're talking about Nat now! Not me!"

In the back row, the good old Jessica defended Natalie again: "Actually, Nat's statement is not wrong, after all, everyone has the right to express their own opinions."

"Jessie, you will be called a double-faced person like this." Keira said dissatisfiedly, and Jessica's face suddenly turned red.

Fortunately, Kate stepped in: "Okay everyone, our Miss Angel is going to meet the director of this movie now, so stop arguing. If you really want to debate, we can hold a small debate after we go back." Yes, the prizes are the same as always."

As she spoke, she glanced at Angela beside her. Angela grinned and shook her head, turned and walked away, and then a low laugh sounded.

It's okay, it's normal, relax, relax, don't matter.Angela kept saying this to herself in her heart, and then set her sights on James Cameron who was receiving congratulations not far away.

Frankly speaking, Cameron surprised her when he produced "Avatar" at the end of 08. Isn't this guy too sharp?Angela could still vaguely remember that the time should go backwards.But if you think about it carefully, it's not hard to understand why this guy made this work that can almost be called a full CG movie in advance.

Quite simply, Angela put him under tremendous pressure.Under normal circumstances, after the investment rating of a movie is set, it is not credited to the account at one time, but into the account of the other party in batches, so that since it is convenient for the investor to better judge whether it is necessary to terminate the contract, it can also reduce the producer's use of money. probability.But this time was different. Although Angela joined forces with Warner and Fox to invest, she called Cameron all at once. Her private funds and Pixar's funds accounted for almost 75% of the total investment!

Whoever gets the money will feel hot. Although Cameron is considered a madman, he is not a fool without a brain. This kind of trust is also a huge pressure. If Angela fails, he will be embarrassed even if he doesn’t say anything. Stay in Hollywood.Therefore, Cameron has basically stayed in the studio every day for the past three years. Many employees were squeezed by him and threatened to resign, but instead of being knocked down, he moved into the studio to eat. Let's face it, after the filming started, he took the title of studio tyrant to the extreme, even those actors wearing motion capture devices were pissed off by him, but such a demanding job brought him extraordinary success.

That's right, Angela, who was a little worried at the beginning, thought after watching that the current "Avatar" is much better than the one in memory.Although the one in her memory was slightly blurred due to time, she still made such a judgment.Because of her hint a few years ago, Cameron made reasonable changes to the story during production. Not only did the time go down to the end of the 21st century, but also the small details in the movie-such as the current situation of the earth and the company's mercenaries The difference from the regular army, etc. - Explained without leaving traces.

Even if the whole story framework has not changed much, it still seems a bit old-fashioned, but this way of starting makes it more exciting.

"Good job, James." Angela came to Cameron's side to congratulate and said, and the other people who were still talking and laughing left knowingly, leaving time and space for the two of them.

"Thank you, how do you feel?" Cameron said with a laugh. Although he shaved off his beard and combed his hair, he looked very energetic in a suit, but his sunken cheeks still showed his fatigue.

"It's excellent. From the perspective of visual effects alone, this is an amazing movie." Angela praised sincerely.

"Just visual effects?" Cameron was slightly disappointed.

"The story is also good. It's exciting. It's relaxed. Your level of storytelling hasn't declined—there's only one problem, which we've discussed many times." Angela shrugged.

"Well, I'm just worried that if the content is too profound, the audience won't be able to understand." Cameron spread his hands helplessly, "If you want to see better, give me another year to reshoot a certain How about some parts?"

"Really?" Angela raised her eyebrows and asked with an extremely serious expression.

Cameron raised his hands two seconds later: "In that case, investors will fry me up and eat me."

"Absolutely not, I can guarantee it." Angela said with a smile, "I'm not interested in frying you."

"Really?" Cameron asked with a serious expression this time. This guy is indeed a perfectionist.

"Of course not," Angela sighed. "I don't want to be told one day that some set tyrant collapsed in the studio and can't get up. So be it, commercially speaking, this movie is already pretty good , and this kind of visual effect is enough for you to be proud of, this is another miracle created after "Titanic", I believe you will definitely have a place in the future film history, James."

"Is this flattering?" Cameron laughed, "I just hope that this movie can break the record set by "Titanic", otherwise I will be too sorry for your investment."

"I think this goal will definitely be achieved, just wait for them to write you a huge check." Angela said with a smile.Frankly speaking, if it weren't for the fact that the ticket price of IMAX first-class 3D theaters is higher than that of traditional 2D theaters, it is difficult to say whether "Avatar" can surpass "Titanic" and set another record.And if inflation is taken into consideration... Let’s forget about it. If inflation is really considered, the number one box office should probably be "Gone with the Wind" decades ago or something?

Taking a deep breath, and temporarily throwing away these messy thoughts, Angela said jokingly again: "Are you going to shout 'I am the king of the world' at next year's Oscar ceremony?"

"If they are willing to award me the best director, I really don't mind doing it again." Cameron raised his chin, and then became a little proud and arrogant.

Angela smiled and shook her head: "Unfortunately, I'm afraid you will be disappointed, James, and my new movie will probably be released around Christmas."

"That movie with big-name actors?" Cameron asked unceremoniously.

"Hey, James, you have to remember that I'm your boss now!" Angela shouted half-truthfully.

"That was before you said that, we are competitors now!" Cameron looked at her seriously.

"Then let's see. I'd like to know if you can change those old fashioned ways of awarding the best film and best director to sci-fi films and their directors." Angela shrugged gracefully and turned to leave. But Mellon stopped her suddenly: "Wait, Angie."

"What, are you going to admit defeat?" Angela looked at him with a smile.

"Don't always try to seize the opportunity to hit me anytime and anywhere, I won't be so easily influenced." Cameron straightened his collar, looked at the few girls who were still talking in the distance, "Actually , I just want to ask, who among them are you dating."

Angela looked at him in astonishment for a long while without saying a word.

"Don't look at me like that, everyone is more or less interested in gossip," Cameron said solemnly, "Don't worry, I won't say it. To be honest, I didn't treat you as a woman a lot of times. So it's perfectly normal for you to have a girlfriend."

"Are you complimenting me or mocking me?" Angela pouted, "Since your observation is so meticulous, James, you might as well guess."

After she finished speaking, she turned around and walked towards the lovers without waiting for the other party to answer, leaving Cameron alone on the spot with his hands and shoulders shrugged.

But at this time Angela was neither worried about being exposed, nor proud of making fun of the other party, but was full of depression.She suddenly realized that the competition for this Christmas file was so fierce. Leaving aside the big productions of other companies, there are two strong competitors in her company alone. "Avatar" is one of them, and the other is the animation department. That big-eyed robot.
