Hollywood Secret Garden

Chapter 345 Meaning and No Meaning

The three men present stared wide-eyed. Ridley couldn't understand what he was talking about, while Master Yuan and "Tiger" were surprised that the girl could speak Chinese so well, even though she could sing Chinese songs. Everyone knows it, but singing is not the same as talking.

"We... know each other?" Although Master Yuan had a strong Cantonese accent, Angela still understood the meaning.

"I don't know if Mr. McKinley told you, Master Yuan Heping, I asked you to come to Hong Kong." The girl turned her head slightly, closed her right eye playfully and raised her index finger, "The Hong Kong movies I've seen , especially kung fu movies are quite a lot!"

"I believe this, even though your clasped fists are not standard." It's rare that Mr. Yuan can still joke, but the slightly fierce-looking pimple-faced smile has a strange feeling, which makes people laugh without being afraid or not. .

"I've only learned kung fu for a few days, and then watched a lot of movies. This is the first time I've fisted someone." Angela, who had smacked her tongue in her heart, still had a smile on her face.

"Have you really learned Kung Fu, Miss Mason?" The young man named "Tiger" couldn't help interjecting.

"Sorry, who are you?" Looking at this young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes and cool short hair, the girl showed a puzzled expression.

"My name is Chen Hu, and my ancestral home is Sichuan, China." The young man smiled brightly, "The English name is the pronunciation of Tiger, because he once worked as a coach in a martial arts gym in San Francisco, which fits the criteria of 'young, fluent in English, and able to teach foreigners—oh, It’s the experience of teaching Westerners—martial arts’, so the master asked me to be his assistant.”

"Nice to meet you, I believe your kung fu must be very good." Angela couldn't remember whether Yuan Baye had such an assistant when he was the action director of "The Matrix", maybe he didn't, maybe he just forgot, Hey, what do you care about so much, as long as Master Yuan can fully reflect the charm of Chinese Kung Fu in fighting.

"It's not bad. I came to the United States after I won the Chinese Junior Wushu Championship. I won the championship in the 60-kilogram karate competition in the United States, as well as the all-around champion in the San Francisco International Wushu Invitational Tournament." Chen Hu was a little proud , "May I know what you study? Karate? Or Bruce Lee's Jeet Kune Do?"

"Well... I have learned a little bit of Wing Chun." Angela shrugged, "It's just embroidering legs with fists, and it can barely defend itself."

"Wing Chun?" Yuan Heping and Chen Hu couldn't help being taken aback.

Ridley interrupted at this moment: "I said, gentlemen and ladies, can you communicate in English? Please don't bully me, an old man who doesn't understand, okay?"

Angela burst out laughing, and quickly reached out her hand: "I'm so sorry, Mr. Scott, I'm sorry."

"It's okay, you can call me Ridley or Rayleigh." The old man smiled and shook hands with the girl, "In this way, I can also call you Angela, right?"

"It's an honor, I'd be happier to call me Angie." Angela said and looked around. Several leading actors were still training hard, and she couldn't help but winked at Ridley: "Then, please tell me Ridley , are you here to see their training, or do you intend to train with them?"

"Me? Let's forget it, my old bones can't stand the toss!" As if to comment on Ridley's words, Keanu's screams sounded immediately, and he straddled the ground like a big split On the floor, a martial artist was pressing down on his shoulders.

"It looks like that's true." Angela couldn't help but twitched the corners of her mouth a few times. Although there was a distance, Keanu's grinning expression was still very clear.

"I just came here to ask Mr. Yuan, what will be the effect of the actions you designed." Ridley continued, "I have to admit, the effect will definitely be good after shooting."

"That requires Master Yuan's guidance." The girl spread her hands with a smile, and then looked at Yuan Baye and his apprentice Chen Hu, "Maybe Master Yuan will say in his heart that this action design is really bad." .”

Chen Hu couldn't help regurgitating the chuckle, and then translated the words to Yuan Heping, and the old man also laughed out loud. At this moment, Angela thought of something and turned to Ridley: "So Do you have all the blueprints with you?"

"Yes," Ridley nodded, and took the folder aside: "What are you looking for?"

"I would like to ask a professional about the design of certain movements." The girl took out what she was looking for in a few moments, and then handed it directly to Yuan Baye: "Master Yuan, how do you look at this, don't worry, When I was painting, I had already annotated in both Chinese and English formats."

Yuan Heping took it and watched it carefully with Chen Hu, while Ridley thought for a few seconds before asking the question he had wanted to ask a long time ago: "Angie, can you explain your script to me in detail? idea?"

"What?" Angela raised her eyebrows, as if she didn't understand.

"I mean..." The old man gestured, "The world you have constructed is simply wonderful, just like the line of Murphys you wrote in the script: What is reality? How should reality be defined? If it refers to touch, smell, taste and vision, they are all electronic signals received by the brain. The virtual world can simulate these, but in the real world, we also rely on senses such as smell and taste to receive information from the outside world! I have never Thinking that it can be interpreted in this way, who am I? Where am I? This kind of philosophical question, as well as the future of man and machine, although there are two other outlines in hand, I believe there must be many interesting ones. You didn’t mention the place, I’d like to know what you thought when you conceived it.”

It seems like everyone likes to ask me how I came up with it, from Nancy back in the day to Michael Bay last year.Angela was a bit disgruntled, even though Ridley's eager eyes clearly told her that he simply wanted to have a discussion.

In this case... the girl turned her lips up in her heart, and then said with a very serious expression: "Actually, as you said, this is a reflection on who I am and where I am. It was there at the moment, and there is still no answer until today. Why do we exist? In what form? I remember reading a short science fiction suspense novel, when all observers no longer observe, when the quantum is no longer in collapse What will our world be like when we are in a state of being? And what will we be?! This is the key, what is real! Who can be sure that it is real! Is our existence inevitable or accidental?! Yes The result of the thinking of the universe is that God sneezed?! No one can give the answer! Maybe there will never be an answer! This may be the tragedy of mankind!"

When it came to the end, Angela waved her hands, and the excitement on her face was like a fanatic. Ridley's eyes widened and he looked at her in disbelief. After a long while, he asked a little later: "Really?"

The girl raised her head to the ceiling with a pitiful and genius look, took a deep breath before turning to the old man, and said a word very seriously: "Fake."

Ridley coughed and coughed several times, while Angela covered her mouth and giggled, knowing that it took a long time for the old man being tricked to recover, and looked at the girl angrily and amusedly, but before he could ask, Angela had already spoken first.

"No thinking about life, my dear Raleigh!" said the girl with a smile. Influenced by the ladies, I spent some effort in naming them. It was only because of the development of computer technology that I came up with the idea of ​​writing a story with a virtual world as the content, and then I came up with this script!"

"But..." The old man gestured unconsciously, as if he was a little confused.

"There are a thousand Hamlets for a thousand people. The interpretation of the story is in the hands of the people who see it, not the people who write it. To be honest, Raleigh, "Blade Runner" is indeed a good movie, but you think the current evaluation And how much is the initial evaluation related to what you want to express?" Angela spread her hands, her eyes were full of wisdom that didn't match her age.

"There are quite a few, but..." Ridley understood what the girl wanted to say, he sighed and spread his hands, "They obviously think more than I do."

"Yes, that's what I want to say. Once a work is elevated to a point, it will be interpreted to make sense even if it has no meaning. Maybe the author just wants to write a story, but some people will think it is a story. The world!" The girl shook her head.

In the previous life, I saw those long-winded comments and thoughts on "The Matrix" on the Internet more than once. They thought more than anyone else, and they could interpret things that the screenwriter and director didn't have at all!As if that were the case!Someone once swore that the trilogy was planned a long time ago, and it is linked together!

Regarding this, Angela, who knows enough about the Hollywood movie model in this life, completely scoffed, if "The Matrix"

If the first film fails miserably at the box office, no matter how good it is, it will be swept into the trash. If you are lucky, it will be recognized like "Blade Runner" in the near future, and if you are unlucky, it will become a representative of bad movies!

After the unprecedented success of "The Matrix" at the box office, the film company began to have the idea of ​​​​pursuing the victory and chasing the concept of the next two parts.The way Hollywood movies work makes

The first one left enough suspense to make a sequel, plus some small tricks-the mountain is a mountain, the mountain is not a mountain, the mountain is still a mountain-so a movie with deep philosophical thinking relies on the hands of many fans to slowly develop into a new movie. Build it up, even if entertainment and business are its number one priority!

"So there's no need to delve into it carefully, just shoot according to your understanding," Angela said to Ridley in this way, "Of course, I will put forward my views from time to time, as long as we can communicate well."

"I believe that." The old man nodded.

It is undeniable that if you really want to delve into "The Matrix", there will be a lot of interesting things. The understanding of Chinese metaphysics and the handling of the false and the real, the real and the false, Angela has also written a lot of her own in her previous life. I understand, but in this life...

I don't care what meaning it has and how to interpret it, its purpose is only to strengthen Pixar's film department, just to make my plan smoother!
