Hollywood Secret Garden

Chapter 152

"Does that mean you've reached an agreement?" Angela asked, holding a wireless phone that had begun to develop into a smaller size, and tapping her fingers on the car window. Although it was small enough for people today, But the girl still felt that the thing was a bit bigger.

"Yes, it has been negotiated. 20th Century Fox and Paramount have invested 1.2 million US dollars to shoot together. I will go to the coast of Rosa in northern Mexico in a few days. I plan to build a water studio there. A copy of the Titanic is placed there." James Cameron's laughter came from the other end of the phone.

"Why do you have to go to Mexico? San Jose is also a good choice." Angela frowned and asked, "Afraid that the film company will bother you for your extravagance?"

"Mexico allows me to perfect the model of the Titanic... What's the problem?" James suddenly asked.

"Of course, don't forget that you promised me that you don't deserve a word of the script," the girl raised her eyebrows, "and I will do the soundtrack. Do you think I have time to fly to Mexico often?"

"Yes, yes, I promised, I like the script very much, especially the part where Jack and Ruth spat in the competition, I promise not to change a single word. But...but..." James seemed hesitant, he could Imagine how embarrassed he was.

"I know what you are doubting, James, but please believe me, I will give you a satisfactory answer. Besides, you are a director, you are a tyrant, if you are not satisfied, you can change people, right?" Angela changed phone in hand. "But if you don't even give me a chance, I'll put the theme song I wrote for the movie on my new album right away! I bet you'll regret it! Yes, that's a threat!"

"Okay, okay, I agree to your request, Angela." James said helplessly, and then changed the topic: "But you also said that if you are not satisfied, I can change people."

"Of course. I have confidence in myself. Have you received the sketches I sent? How about the costumes of the male and female protagonists and the interior decoration of the ship, after showing them to the professionals around you?" Angie Ra asked again suddenly.

"Very good!" James praised this greatly, "Do you know Ken Marshaw? He is my friend. He has engaged in many expeditions about the Titanic and is now one of the art directors. He watched I also like your sketches very much. It can be seen that you have also checked a lot of relevant information."

"Okay. Thank you for your compliment. I'm going to hang up now. If you need me to prove my strength, please call me. Goodbye." After the voice of goodbye came from the other end of the phone, Angela turned off the wireless phone .

I knew it.The girl muttered in her heart.This matter dates back to the premiere of "Forrest Gump" on April 4. A fire in the previous warehouse reduced one-third of the film to ashes, and Paramount had to reshoot, but this made "Forrest Gump" The attention of Forrest Gump has increased a lot again. The box office reached 17 million in the first week of its release, and it has been rising steadily since then. As Angela knows, both word of mouth and box office have achieved a good harvest.

However, film critics couldn't help sighing, if it weren't for the fire, what would the 66th Oscars be like?Is this luck or misfortune?

Nonsense, of course it is lucky!Angela, who almost directed Mars into the earth, said so in her stomach. Of course, she can only say sorry for the "Shawshank Redemption" that will be released this year. Anyway, you were killed by "Forrest Gump" in your previous life. It's just a repetition of the tragedy.

Well, back to the topic, as the third screenwriter of the "Forrest Gump" script, the girl was also invited to the premiere, so at the premiere I met James Cameron, after receiving Angela's script, the other party began to attract investment. Angela asked him to make the soundtrack on the grounds that he was familiar with the script. James also agreed with a smile, but what do you think? They all seemed to be joking, that's why we had the conversation just now.

It should be done.Sighing lightly, the girl finally felt relieved. If this guy doesn't agree, I'm afraid she will have to increase investment in exchange for the other party's promise. If my father invests... well, I'm afraid I can spend 3 million US dollars.

"Chris, my dear, why...you must be the soundtrack of that movie?" Frank, who was in the driver's seat, asked at this time.

"Because this will be the movie with the second largest investment in history, and it will also be a very classic movie. I want to put my name on it, that's all." Angela shrugged.

"Really? How much investment?"

"Currently it is 1.2 million."

"Just 1.2 million? It can only be regarded as one of the relatively large investments. It may not be the second largest in history. Maybe there will be investments that exceed it in the next few years." Uncle said disapprovingly.

"Please listen to what I'm saying, Uncle Frank," the girl raised her finger and shook her finger, "What I'm saying is that at present, according to Mr. James Cameron's habit, this investment amount will at least double !"

"You mean James Cameron? The studio tyrant?" Frank asked slightly surprised.

"Yes, the studio tyrant who can always exceed the investment budget. In fact, if it weren't for this, "True Lies" could have been released in November last year instead of delayed until January this year, so it might still be at the Oscars. Take a share." Angela shrugged, and then looked at her uncle with interest, "You seem to be getting more and more familiar with Hollywood, uncle?"

"Oh, of course, I think it is necessary to have a better understanding of Hollywood, instead of just staying in the appearance made by movies." Frank nodded in agreement.

"Well, think I should worry about Sister Julia." The girl gave him a sideways glance.

"This is slander, dear, your outlook on life is too bad, I think it is necessary to talk to your mother..." Frank looked at Angela who had rolled his eyes, and quickly changed his words: "Okay, we won't tell Well, talk about the rest, you already wrote the theme song for that movie?"

"Of course, I wrote the script, who else understands its theme better than me?" Angela snorted and said.

"Okay, so why not write a theme song for...well, that..."My Best Friend's Wedding"?" Frank coughed dryly.

"God!" The girl rolled her eyes, "You're always like this, uncle, don't be so greedy, okay?!"

"Hey honey, it's just a small favor, for God's sake, today I gave up my date with Julie to be your coachman, can't that get a theme song ?” Frank said with a smile.

"You planned it long ago?" Angela gritted her teeth, stared at her uncle, and sighed after a while: "Okay, I know, I will write, but don't get your hopes up."

"Bingo!" Frank snapped his fingers in a rare way. It could be seen that she was very confident in the girl. Angela smiled wryly. Although the theme song of "My Best Friend's Wedding" is not like "My Heart Will Go On" I was deeply impressed, but I can also recall it. After all, this song appeared at the very beginning of the movie. Every time I watch it, I must listen to it again, and it is also very good.

In fact, the girl really wants to make her own original songs, but because these are classic movies, she is very afraid of making a mistake and having a bad influence, so she just thinks about it all the time, and she still needs to continue learning, just like her Be sure to participate in the soundtrack of "Titanic", honor and interest are the same thing, what is more important is to copy-imitate-original, the road is made in this way, just like her painting in her previous life, besides She is not incompetent.

The script is the same, Angela has decided to come up with her own original script at least two years later. Although she has written several scripts, she still feels that she is lacking in some aspects, so she will not hesitate to use the script she has already written. "Ten Stories in Azeroth", which had been in limbo, was dug up again, and after finishing it, it was sent to the fantasy edition of "Amazing" magazine. This is much more difficult than recalling details and supplementing the script. The story is adapted from ten classic missions, such as the mission of opening the door of the Black Dragon Princess of the Alliance or "Love and Family". The origin of Xerath, and its history are connected in series, and then buried in it, making readers think about it.As for Blizzard... Who cares about it, besides, when "Warcraft" first came out, there was no background at all, and "Warcraft" and "World of Warcraft" were already pre-registered by her, so Blizzard should go aside and cry, Maybe they will develop another classic world as a result.

In order to accomplish this, she declined the invitation of the crew of "Interview with the Vampire" in the second half of last year. The author of the novel, Anne Rice, was very disappointed. She felt that Angela was very suitable for the role of Claudia.

Anyway, I still have to work hard.The girl rubbed her chin, and suddenly thought of another question, a troublesome question, should she sing "My Heart Will Go On" by herself, or leave it to Celine Dion?Although "Titanic" may not be able to be filmed by the end of 95, if I practice more before then, I may be able to perform it well, but can it really surpass Celine Dion at her peak?But if she just handed it over like this, she really wouldn't be reconciled.

This choice is really difficult.Angela was thinking with a headache, and she didn't know what to do for a while. At this moment, the car slowed down and stopped on the side of the road. The houses and yards next to them were decorated with birthday ribbons and balloons. It looks colorful in the sun.

"Here we are, dear," said the uncle now.
