Hollywood Secret Garden

Chapter 8 George's Plan

Slap, turn off the bedside lamp, and Angela, who had already changed into her pajamas, shrank into the quilt. Although Yoyo yawned, she didn't feel sleepy at all. The words Jennifer asked her repeatedly rang in her head: Are you here? What are you afraid of?

"I'm not afraid of anything, I'm just not confident." The little girl stared at the ceiling with wide eyes and muttered.

Speaking of it, she is really an otaku, and she is also an otaku. The otaku life in her previous life gave her a unique advantage in certain information, but it also made her lack of aggressiveness and self-confidence. Guy, it's really hard for him to face reality boldly.The reason why she secretly wrote novels and scripts was the same. She didn't know what the result would be. Even though she knew that these were first-class works in her previous life, she still felt uneasy. After all, she plagiarized them!

Oh, of course, some people might say that Angela was not guilty when she talked to the producer Nancy and the head of Disney's editorial team George in the afternoon.But that's because this guy has been forced to retreat. You must know that "A Couple Made With Me" was a film written, directed and produced by Nancy Meyers in 1998. Sending the script to the original author is also Only a "genius" like her can figure it out. If it weren't for the strong rebound once it is pressed to the edge, God knows what it will be like in the afternoon.

Angela turned over and stared straight at the row of alarm clocks beside the bed. It was already past 10 o'clock, and she should be asleep at this time, but she still didn't want to sleep, and finally turned over and got up to snooze. Turn on the light, and then drag out a small cardboard box from under the bed. When you open it, you can see a lot of papers in it, some with several pages, and some with only one or two sheets.

The little guy pursed his lips and took out these things and slowly opened them. If someone who was reborn in the same way saw these things, his jaw would drop to the ground in shock. "Titanic" and so on, the little girl simply caught all the future Hollywood blockbusters!However, these things are neither completely finished, and some even have only a beginning, and they are not in the form of scripts, mostly between novels and content introductions.

"Okay, "Made in Love" is sold, so what about these?" Angela sat on the ground with her head on her knees curled up, staring at the works in the box and muttering to herself, I wrote "A Couple Born" just to earn some pocket money, and these were written for fun when I was bored before, so if I need money in the future, can I just pick one of them?So what should you do if you meet the original author?

I'm really crazy, why don't I get up and think about this?Angela tapped her head, thinking a little depressingly, she felt that after becoming a girl, she seemed to be less and less proud, even if she plagiarized, it's not like she didn't have her own things, just like this time "A Couple Born", the original version Because Nancy Meyers doesn't know much about the UK, most of the dramas in the UK are shot on a whim, but Angela is different. Her mother is British and has stayed in the UK since she was a child. In terms of these details And she has more say in the living habits of the British, which is also well reflected in the script, and she also designed different small movements for the twins in the play to distinguish their identities, so it is also true that she plagiarized It's not necessarily correct, and besides, even if you copy a certain screenwriter's play, that screenwriter may not necessarily starve to death because of it, and maybe he will write better ones because of it, so I am completely unfounded.

"Sleep! Sleep! What are you thinking about so much, there must be a way for the car to reach the mountain, let's talk about it when the time comes!" Once the bachelor's personality broke out, Angela didn't bother to turn off the lights and go to bed, and wrapped herself in the quilt and didn't care about anything.

George took a deep breath, straightened his tie again to ensure his appearance was tidy, and then walked out of the elevator. A white man in his 30s had already waved to him in front of the reception desk not far away.

"Hi, Matthew."

"Hi, George."

The two shook hands, and Matthew made a gesture of invitation and pointed to the door at the end of the corridor: "Come on, we're all waiting for you."

"To be honest, Matthew, we have worked together a lot, what do you think?" George took a deep breath again and asked.

"Don't be nervous, George," Matthew smiled lightly, but then restrained himself, "It's pretty good, I've read your submission, and the gentlemen on the board think so too, but... you'd better do it Be mentally prepared." Without waiting for George to understand, he stretched out his hand and opened the door of the conference room for him.

"Dear Mr. Chairman and fellow directors, I am George Wells, the head of the editorial review team of the film subsidiary. I believe you have read my opinion paper. I personally think it is worth the company's investment." Go straight to George, who was at the bottom, began to talk freely after saying hello. He was very confident, because the middle-aged man in his 50s sitting at the top of the long table was Michael Eisner, the current CEO and chairman of Disney Film and Television Entertainment. Well, since he came here from Burbank in person, it shows that he really attaches great importance to his submission.

As an old Disney employee, George knows very well that although Disney has dominated animation for a long time, it can be said to be synonymous with American animation. There are many areas for improvement and development. The current CEO Eisner is a courageous and courageous boss, so he fully believes that Eisner can see the potential value of "The Lion King" and "Natural Couple". He should also be able to see the value of Angela.

Soon the meeting came to an end. After George gave an explanation, several directors asked some questions, and he answered them one by one. From the satisfied expressions of the directors, it can be seen that the effect was good. However, as the big boss, Michael Ace But Na didn't say a word from the beginning to the end, just crossed his hands in front of his face and quietly listened to other people's discussions, which made George a little uneasy.

Finally, after the other directors had finished their discussions and the meeting room gradually became quiet, Eisner slowly said, "Mr. It means a lot to Disney, and I'm all for investing, but there's a problem..."

He stared at George: "How are you going to convince Mr. Jared Harris Mason, the boss of Pedro's company, to let his precious daughter make a movie?"

"Listen, George, I know that you want to make achievements with all your heart, but sometimes you have too much haste." Facing the empty conference room, Michael Eisner patted George on the shoulder leaning against the table, At this moment, she doesn't have the aura of a boss at all, she looks more like an elder, "I've always told you not to rush and take your time, this time it's still the same, the submission has been done very well, I appreciate it, as for that girl... Forget it, I've seen it a few times before - at Mr. Mason's private party, quite an attractive kid indeed, but don't try too hard on something hopeless"

"Well, Mr. Eisner, in fact, after I heard about her identity, I no longer have any idea about her." George also leaned against the table and replied with a wry smile.

"That's it, I'm going back," Eisner pointed to the door, "I can't make them wait too long."

George nodded, then remembered something, and looked at him hesitantly: "My uncle..."

"Okay, okay, Frank won't know about it." Eisner laughed and walked out.

George sent him all the way to the elevator, and then returned to his office with a little disappointment. This is really a pity. If he can win a dazzling child star, the influence of the film company will at least double, but He never thought that Angela would be the daughter of the boss of the largest consortium in the West!God loves to joke.

"Don't be depressed, no matter animation or movie, as long as you are successful, you will not be far from the position of general manager." Matthew walked in at this time, said comfortingly, and then said half-jokingly: "You know I You are only a deputy manager in the head office, and you can rise faster than me."

"Come on, Matthew, you know I'm not mad at this." George shrugged.

"Yes, I know," Matthew said with a smile, "you are so whimsical to think of the daughter of the president of Pedro Company, let me think about how you use words, oh, contemporary Fei Wen Li!"

"Hey, I'm serious," George glared at him, "Besides, I'm also thinking about the company, so you're just trying to comfort me?"

"Okay, I have a treat tonight, at Morton's Bar," Matthew shrugged, "I have to go, remember to come on time, don't wait when it's late!"

After watching Matthew leave, George shook his head and picked up the phone on his desk to make a call: "Hello, Miss Brant, can you pick up Nancy for me?"

"How about it, George, are you ready?" Nancy's voice quickly came from the other end of the phone.

"Yes, from now on you can already contact the actor or something, but..." George sighed, and explained the problem in detail. There was silence on the other end of the phone, and he could imagine that Nancy was also smiling wryly, But her answer took him by surprise.

"I want to try again, George." Nancy's voice was firm.

"You mean you still want to talk to Mason's house?" George asked in surprise.

"Yes, you should understand that if you do some things, you may still have a chance, but if you don't do it, you have no chance at all!"

George was startled. He still wanted to persuade him, but he didn't say it after all. He just said, "Then, I wish you good luck."

The moment he put down the phone, he thought, maybe it will succeed?
