Chapter 175 Want to revise the script?
"Hey, Jesse, what are you doing? Have you picked up any movies or TV shows? . . There are so many people, it is wise for you not to come. Besides, the ones for you are already prepared, why don’t you come to my house to get them, you must know that you have never been to my house since I went to Beverly Hills... Well, then it's settled...wait, what?...oh sorry Jesse, you know I just released a record and you sure don't want to be on the street...oh? is that so? ...Okay, I see, let's come to my house directly, anyway, I haven't seen you for more than two months, I miss you very much...Okay, that's it, goodbye, Jesse, I love you!"
After hanging up the phone, Angela buried her head on the pillow and sighed deeply. After a long time, she lifted her head up again. After calling Jesse, the bad mood of having a bad nose at her father finally got over ease.
Forget it, don't think about it for now, there are still things to do.The girl got up from the bed and came to the typewriter beside the desk. "James of the Brave" was almost coming to an end.
Amidst the crackling sound, the last page of manuscript paper was being spit out slowly. Generally speaking, Angela's handwritten scripts accounted for one-third of the script. Anyway, the film company would handle it by itself after receiving it.But this is the first time that this script was typed out entirely with a typewriter. There is no other reason, because it was agreed with Vincent that the novel manuscript should be completely typewritten after it is handed over to him, and the novel and the script are exchanged. It was typed out, so I have been writing the manuscript with a typewriter.
In fact, there is an easier way. So far, the civilian Internet in the United States has been working very well.Angela can type the text on the computer and send it to Vincent or 20th Century Fox by email, but... the girl looked at the computer in the corner and sighed silently, although the interface of WIN3.2 It is already very close to WIN95, but as long as you think about its speed and the way to enter it from the DOS interface, girls can't bring up the idea of using it.
Let's wait until next year, Angela pressed the last letter.Then I took down the last page of the "James of the Brave" script, WIN95 came out, will WIN98 be far behind?
After sorting out the papers of the script and putting them into folders, it was the turn of the novel, which had already been modified and just typed out, but after putting the papers into the typewriter, she did not start to do it for a long time. It was the conversation with her father in the study before, she was still not reconciled.
Perhaps, it can be like this... Angela suddenly slid the chair to the adjustable table.Raised the table, took the drawing paper and drew carefully, soon a toy cowboy and a toy space fighter appeared on the paper, they were Woody and Buzz Lightyear, the two protagonists of "Toy Story" !
If this doesn't impress Dad, then there's nothing to do.The girl thought sullenly, only a guy like her who doesn't understand finance would think of using these methods to persuade others.
It took Angela two and a half days to draw the toy characters she remembered and write the relevant script.The most important thing is that the script has been slightly modified to make the whole story fuller. The two years of script writing have also improved her already good level-even if it is plagiarism-and then she has something to find come to your door.
"Hi, Miss Angela, I'm Bernie Reg, your financial advisor." The slightly rich middle-aged man in a suit in front of him extended his hand to the girl with a smile. "this is my name card."
"Hi, Mr. Bernie, nice to meet you." Angela took his business card with a smile.He shook hands, then looked at Sparrow next to him, and blinked.
"Mr. Jared asked Bernie to come over, we just met outside by coincidence." Sparrow knew what she was thinking and explained simply.
"Okay, I see. Let's go outside. How about the garden? The weather is just right now." Angela said, looking at the sky outside. The ten o'clock sun is very suitable for discussing issues in the open air.
After arriving in the garden and sitting on the seat arranged by the maid, the girl spoke first, "Who will speak first?"
Anger and Sparrow looked at each other, and Mr. Consultant made a gesture of invitation.Sparrow was also polite, and spoke first: "I have two main things here, the first is that 20th Century Fox wants to invite you to play the role of the little girl named Judy in "Jumanji" .”
Angela was a little surprised: "Their actions are really fast. The script was given to them the day before yesterday, and the preparations started today?"
"To be precise, your charm is too great, and they obviously hope that you can participate." Sparrow said with a smile.
"But they are destined to be regretful, please help me decline, Jack, at least I don't really want to accept the movie yet." Angela shrugged, and after thinking about it, she suddenly said: "By the way, tell them, I recommend Jesse Card for the role."
"Miss Alba?"
"Yes."
"Okay, I will convey it," Sparrow nodded, and then said another thing: "The second thing is that Mr. James has returned from Mexico, and he hopes you can go to his office , we have to talk about the script again."
"I knew it!" The girl rolled her eyes, "With his character, how could he really promise not to revise the script—well, when?"
"He would like you to come over this afternoon, if possible."
"I think so, well, it doesn't matter, Jessica and Lindsay are coming to my house tomorrow, it's best if I can solve it this afternoon." Angela shook her head, "Is there anything else?"
"Some endorsement invitations, do you need to see them?"
"No, no need, I don't have any plans to endorse products for the time being." The girl continued to shake her head, she had an instinctive resistance to advertising endorsements, might she dress like Britney in the Pepsi commercial?And who knows if there will be any kissing scenes, sex scenes, and bathing scenes, so even if the endorsement commercials are very profitable, she will not consider it, unless she can make up 2000 million after endorsing three or four commercials.
However, obviously, she got one thing mixed up. She is only 14 years old, and she would not go there no matter how explicit she is. She thinks this way, which is completely caused by her own psychology.
"Okay, then, Mr. Bernie, it's up to you now, what can I do for you? I think you should be responsible to my father?" Angela looked at the fat financial advisor.
The other party thought for about two seconds, and after considering the words, he said: "That's right, Miss Angela, to be more precise, I'm telling you that the advisory team will use Dell's stock as collateral to resign from Jay in your name." Mr. Reid borrowed 2000 million to invest in Pixar Animation Company."
"Wait!" Angela stood up abruptly, looked at the other party with her mouth wide open, and said after a while, "This... when did this happen?"
"Soon, when Mr. Jared's money arrives, we will negotiate with the other party..." Before Reg could finish speaking, Angela interrupted: "No, no, no, I mean—I When did my father give me a loan?!"
"This time is in your hands, Miss Angela!" Reg raised his hand with a smile, "Please don't get excited." He took out a thick stack of documents from his briefcase: "First, you must After reading these, I can help if there is something I don't understand. Then, talk to Mr. Jared."
The girl looked at the thick document in the other party's hand, and took it in doubt. She frowned after only turning a few pages, and then covered her forehead, not knowing whether to cry or laugh.
Angela sighed, and looked up again after a long while: "Okay, I know, after reading it, I will have a good talk with Dad, but not today or tomorrow, I have a date, if possible, please Come to my house on Friday morning?"
"No problem, then, I'll take my leave first, my number is on the business card, you can call me anytime." The financial advisor nodded, then got up and left.
"I'm taking my leave for the time being. I'll come back at 2:[-] p.m.." Sparrow also left with Reg, and Angela returned after sending them out, then sighed and returned to the bedroom with the thick document .
In the afternoon, Angela and Sparrow went to James Cameron's place together. Apart from David who was driving, there was also the bodyguard Pu Guanshui. At the request of grandma, this kid followed from New York and continued to perform his duties Well, neither of his parents has any objection to this, but basically, he basically has nothing to do, so he occasionally acts as a guest at the door or as a gardener.
"Hi, Angie, how are you? Long time no see." James smiled and greeted the girl who walked into the office. "Hello, James, you look thinner than before." Angela responded with a smile.
"Oh, of course, so far, the replica Titanic has just been completed, and there is still a lot to do," James said with emotion, "I have to worry about everything, costumes, props, equipment, scripts, and scripts... Hey, where are you looking?"
"What?" Angela quickly retracted her gaze, "Oh, sorry, I'm a little distracted."
James looked at the place she was looking at just now. It was the exhibition shelf in his office. On the top were beautifully crafted models of Terminator and Alien.
"Well done." He laughed, after all, these are his two favorite movies.
"Yes, quite good." Angela nodded, and then brought the topic back: "Let's talk about the script."
"Oh, of course." The other party nodded, took out a stack of manuscripts from the drawer and put them on the desk.
The girl blinked her eyes in surprise, the stack of manuscripts was at least one-third the thickness of the original script!
