Hollywood Secret Garden

Chapter 769 Modifying the Script

"How dare you say such a thing, Lawrence! When I was fighting for this country in Vietnam, you would only stand under the Washington Monument and show off your eloquence!" Inside the room, the black old man waved his arms to the white old man. .

"I have to remind you, Mark, first of all, I'm not being eloquent, I'm just exercising the most basic rights that this country has given me; and second, you have to admit that the Vietnam War was a stupid war, and we didn't have any The reason for fighting." The old white man retorted without haste.

"Everything needs to be analyzed in detail. Do you dare to say that this war is meaningless from the beginning to the end? If you are against this war after 64 years then I will admire you, but you have been a coward from the beginning !” The old black man shouted angrily.

"They're here again." The two little girls who were chatting not far away shook their heads in unison. Concentrated look.

"Give-me-shut-up! You two!" The elderly woman with a plate came out of the kitchen, then glared at the two old men who were facing each other and shouted loudly, "Aren't you even worse than children! "

The two who were still ridiculing each other just now fell silent, but looked at each other with dissatisfaction in their eyes.

"Cut!" Angela shouted loudly behind the camera, and after everyone stopped, she tapped on her head with the rolled script, thought for a moment and then looked at the monitor before responding to the person who served the plate just now. Helen Mirren said: "Helen, you should be stricter and less impatient, because this is the second time they have quarreled, but be careful not to use too much force."

After Helen nodded to show that she knew, she looked at the old man Morgan again: "Morgan, you have to pay attention to that Mark's participation in the Vietnam War was one of the things he was most proud of, because he relied on his bravery in battle in a country where racial discrimination prevailed. was recognized for the first time in the [-]s. But this pride is only for the beginning. In his heart, he did not agree with the entire Vietnam War. He only argued with Lawrence when he felt that his honor was damaged. Therefore, his It's not very confident, it needs to be covered up with a louder voice, and you can pay attention to it."

"If Al doesn't mind my saliva splashing on his face, I have no problem." Morgan Freeman spread his hands and said humorously, and there was a burst of laughter all around.

"Don't worry, Morgan, I'm sure I won't have any objections." Al said with a raised eyebrow with a smile.

Angela just shrugged, and then looked at Al: "As for you, Al, you did a good job, please keep it up."

After seeing these explanations, she immediately turned to the two little girls: "Kolo, Zuti, you two are not bad, please note that after this scene is your performance moment, hold your emotions well, let the old guys see it The new generation is amazing!"

I have to admit that Angela has an incomparable attraction among the new generation of actors. She became friends with these young actors shortly after the start, and is very familiar with them now, so Chloe Moretz immediately shouted Repeatedly said: "No problem, let the old guys see how powerful the new generation is!"

The voice immediately attracted sideways glances and snickers, and even the slightly quiet and weak Judy Fran couldn't help but cover her mouth.

"Hey, little girl, the old guys are not dead yet." Morgan, who was resting, couldn't help jokingly said something.

The laughter at the scene grew louder, and Angela also shook her head with a smirk, and was about to wave her hand to announce the continuation when she suddenly stopped.She stood there for about 2 minutes, then started to circle around.The surrounding voices quieted down, and everyone knew what Angela was thinking of.However, she didn't stop after walking for several laps, and the look on her face was constantly changing, sometimes pleasantly surprised, worried, hesitant, and annoyed.After turning around for an unknown number of times, she finally stopped, her brows were firm, and she had obviously made up her mind.

"Lawrence, Coster, Hamblin, come with me." Angela greeted and said, these three people are the assistant director, director assistant and executive producer of the crew.

The four of them came to a distance, and there was nothing wrong at first, but following Angela's narration, the executive producer began to shake his head, and the assistant director also hesitantly expressed his objection, only the assistant director did not speak.Even so, Angela didn't mean to stop and still insisted on something.Needless to say, both the producer and the assistant director gave in in the end. After all, this is Angela's work, and all they can do is persuade.

"I have something to announce." After returning to the crowd, Angela took the lead to gather the actors together. "The filming is currently suspended for a week. After a week, you will get the revised script. Everyone can take a week's vacation as the crew , but please come back as soon as you receive the news."

"A week... Do you want to overhaul the script, Angie?" Al asked for everyone after thinking about it.

"No, I just want to make changes to some places. When I recalled some things just now, I suddenly got inspiration again. You should have encountered such examples of scripts that were stopped and revised midway, right?" Angela smiled said.

"But it's rare to encounter a case of stopping for a week." Helen next to him said in an interface.

"Seldom doesn't mean none, does it?" Meryl, who had been resting before, retorted with a smile.

"But it's basically because of conflicts between the producer and the director or the actors. Do you think Angela is competing with herself?" Helen also retorted, "Are you asking me to talk to you, Meryl?"

"Okay, please don't bring the emotions in the movie into reality," Angela hurriedly raised her hand to stop, "Actually, in a sense, I am indeed competing with myself, so there is no need to discuss this issue Yes. In short, the shooting time may be extended, I hope it will not delay everyone, if there is a conflict in the arrangement, please let me know as soon as possible, okay?"

"Don't worry, we always set aside time, at least I don't have any special arrangements." Morgan said first.

"Indeed, I'm just waiting to see what's so special about your revised script." Al also said with a smile, and the others echoed, and the matter was settled.

After returning from the set, Angela immediately began to revise the script. The reason why she made such a sudden decision was because Morgan and Al's lines were associated with the situation when her parents came to the house before, and then many new ideas emerged. .

Angela didn't expect her parents to move so quickly, so she agreed, and she would go there with her the next day. In a hurry and her parents insisted on taking the same car with her, there was no chance to inform her lovers.

Fortunately, the lovers performed flawlessly despite their astonishment, even when their father asked them what they were thinking in front of everyone.If it is normal, it is undoubtedly very rude to do so, but my father has enough reasons to do so.Anyone who learns that their daughter is not only marrying her own same-sex partner, but living with several entangled same-sex lovers will want to figure it out.

Not for anything else, just out of father's love for his daughter.Fortunately, the lovers also understand this, so the atmosphere is always harmonious.

"Speaking of which, Angie and I have known each other for more than 20 years. If someone told me what would happen after picking her up, I would not have believed it. But sometimes it is so strange that you think it is impossible to happen. But it just happened, and I couldn't get it out when I fell into it. Jedi, Erin, you can be regarded as watching me grow up, did you ever think that there would be such entanglements between me and Angie? But, some Now that something has happened, you have to face and accept it. I gave up once, but then I realized that I just gave up on myself. When I want to catch it again, the best time has passed. I am not reconciled I don’t want to, some pain once is enough, so I have the current situation. Sometimes I often ask myself, what is the charm of this guy, so many of us are willing to pay for her, cuteness is love If I understand it, it is not love. Even if I may give up again for various reasons in the future, I can’t let myself let go now anyway. I believe that the reason why we compromise like this is because of this.” In the living room , everyone is in the situation, facing Jared and Elena, Kate said this on behalf of all lovers.

Although it should be Jessica who did this, after all, it was her unreserved dedication that caused the chain reaction, but she politely refused because she was shy and felt sorry for the Masons.Faced with such an answer, Angela really couldn't laugh or cry, but she didn't know what to say to her. In the end, she just hugged Jessica and asked Kate for the matter.

This speech should be regarded as a success. After listening to it, Jared and Elena both sighed and did not speak again. Before that, they had talked with Scarlett and others individually, so it is natural to know that their feelings are not fake.So even though Ike and Willie, who followed with shameless faces, were still making trouble and asking some weird questions, their parents had already tacitly agreed, and they couldn't make any troubles.

After that, it was natural to have dinner together and talk about some topics. The happy appearance made Angela feel jealous while putting down a big stone in her heart.Because the lovers are trying to please their parents, the mother has praised Keira to her daughter in private more than once for her ladylike demeanor, which makes Angela very depressed.Ladylike?Where did she look like a lady when she launched Biaolai?I actually told myself to treat them well, this joke is too big, why didn't I tell them to treat me well? !Do you know what kind of life I live!

Of course, such words would never be said, so Angela could only roll her eyes and watch the lovers chatting and laughing with their parents.It's not that she didn't pay attention to her moodiness. Ike and Willie came to comfort her.

"It's normal, they are helping you get the approval of your parents in disguise." Willie said.

"Yeah, at worst, if they do this again in the future, just kick them out." Ike also said immediately, and then Willie gave her a hard look: Are you so impatient?

Angela, who saw it, laughed immediately, and hugged her younger siblings intimately in her arms: "Okay, you are all my younger siblings no matter what, and this matter will not disappear with the passage of time." changed."

Even though they were not very happy in their hearts, the two still accepted this reality. Although the last sentence of the sister had no other meaning, it was appropriate to use it here, not to mention the deep relationship between her and them.

The visit of her parents was basically smooth, and Angela lifted another obstacle in this way. You must know that she had used her brains a lot for this matter. And 6 other lovers.Although she can not care about other people's opinions, she cannot help caring about the opinions of her family, especially her parents.Fortunately, parents still gave support, just like before, how could Angela not be moved?

After the scene shot on the set, there was a segment of a son and his father arguing fiercely, which happened not long before the parents came to visit, which evoked Angela's various memories.The new movie is originally a movie about American history and an ordinary family relationship. It also has a detailed description of the relationship between parents and children. Due to the limitations of the scene, the plot basically needs to be promoted by conversation. "Twelve Angry Men" is full of arguments, or it is full of suspense like "The Man From Earth" - technically "[-] Angry Men" is also suspenseful.

Therefore, there are many disputes and quarrels in the script, such as Robert and his older son-in-law Al, Al who participated in the anti-Vietnam War demonstrations and Morgan who participated in the Vietnam War, Robert and his wife Helen, and so on.Naturally, there are also conflicts between the children and their parents. Angela even deliberately arranged a plot to allude to her father and grandpa-this is not the specious description in "Father".This time when the movie comes out and is released, grandpa and father will definitely see it if they go to watch the movie.

Under the influence of memories, Angela suddenly found that the language in the script was a bit too sharp, and at the same time, the tone of concern implied was not fully expressed, so she planned to suspend work and revise the script.Of course, if this was not enough for her to stop for a week, when she was thinking about how to modify it, she suddenly found that the script lacked one thing, that is, the suspense that runs through the entire movie.

Whether it is "[-] Angry Men" or "The Man From Earth", there is a clear line of suspense that runs through the entire movie. The suspense of "Twelve Angry Men" lies in whether the child is really a murderer, and whether Henry Fonda can convince the other eleven people; while the suspense of "The Man From Earth" lies in whether the hero is really alive. Wannian, and whether he can convince several other people that he is Jesus.And that is exactly what is missing from Our Lives.

It stands to reason that Angela shouldn't make such a mistake. She noticed the choice of theme early on, so how could she ignore the setting of suspense?The point is that she spends all her energy on the dialogue, after all, all plots are driven by dialogue, and her goal is not just to make a good movie, and it is inevitable to ignore other things.

If something goes wrong, it will naturally be corrected, so Angela immediately shut down for a week, and at the same time, she is glad that she didn't find out until the production was completed and it was about to be released.It is not too difficult to modify the suspense that runs through the whole play.Perhaps it was subconsciously aware of this problem at the beginning. There are many places in the plot that can be used, and they can be pinched together with a little adjustment.Otherwise, it would not be a problem of shutting down for a week, and the previous expenses would probably be wasted, even if she is rich, she can't waste it like this.

"Hey, how long are you going to be busy?" Kate's voice came from behind, and Angela, who was clacking on the keyboard, finally stopped, stretched her waist lazily and turned her head: "Okay, Today's is done."

Then she was stunned, Kate was standing at the door of the bathroom, her upper body was leaning slightly by the door, her upper body was wearing a thin white shirt, the bulge underneath was faintly visible, and her lower body was only a pair of panties, beautiful and beautiful The slender legs rubbed together slightly, and the mature aura exuded was fatally attractive.

"Are you... tempting me?" Angela took a deep breath in order to maintain her composure.

"What do you think?" Kate walked to the edge of the bed and sat down, then slowly moved her legs up.

Angela's breathing suddenly became much faster, she narrowed her eyes, and suddenly rushed forward.Kate originally wanted to say something, but she didn't expect Angela to move her hand so suddenly, and was immediately pressed down on the bed by the other party.Not to be outdone, she started to fight back, but for some reason, she didn't go straight to the point as before, so after several rounds, Angela still held the initiative and was firmly pressed on the bed.

"I see!" After laughing for a while, Angela's voice suddenly sounded, with a little complacency.

"What do you know?" Kate asked slightly panting, her shirt was already crumpled, not only the spring was leaking out, but the softness of her chest fell into Angela's hands.

"I said why are you so vulnerable." Angela, who was riding on Kate, bent down with a smile, and looked at her with an indescribable smile in her emerald green eyes.

"Oh? Maybe you're not sure if you've been drinking." Kate said nonsense with her eyes open.

"Since you know whether I've drunk or not, why are you so inexplicably worried and jealous?" Angela put her arms around Kate's neck and put her nose against her nose, "Fool!"

On the day her parents came to visit, her mother called Natalie to another room and chatted for a long time before she left. When she came out, Natalie's face was slightly red, and she looked at Elena with gratitude.Although I don't know what they said, no matter who asked about Natalie, they kept silent, but I can guess some, after all, only she and Angela will enter the palace of marriage.In this way, even if other people are already mentally prepared, there will be some adverse reactions more or less.
