"Does that mean you're done talking?" asked Angela, who tapped her finger on the car window with a wireless phone that had begun to develop into a small size. Although this thing is small enough for people today, But the girl still felt that this thing was a little bigger.
"Yes, it's settled, 20th Century Fox and Paramount are investing $120 million in filming, and I'm going to the Rosari coast in northern Mexico in a few days, where I'm going to build an aquatic studio, There's a copy of the Titanic 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, "Are you afraid that the film company will bother you with extravagance for you every three days?"
"Mexico will let me make the model of the Titanic more perfect... What's the problem?" James asked suddenly.
"Of course, don't forget that you promised me that the script should not have a word," the girl raised her eyebrows, "and I will do the soundtrack, don't you think I have time to fly to Mexico often?"
"Yes, yes, I promised, I like the script, especially the part where Jack and Ruth spit, I promise not to change a word. But... but..." James seemed hesitant, you can imagine him How embarrassing.
"I know what you are doubting, James, but trust me, I will give you a satisfactory answer. Besides, you are the director and you are the tyrant. If you are not satisfied, you can change people, right?" Angela changed holding a phone in hand. "But if you don't even give me a chance, I'll put the theme song written for the movie on my new album immediately! 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 conversation: "But you also said that if you are not satisfied, I can make a substitution."
"Of course. I have confidence in myself. Have you received the sketches I sent you? How about the costumes of the hero and heroine and the interior decoration of the ship, after they were shown to the professionals around me?" An Ji La suddenly asked again.
"Very good!" James praised it. "Do you know Ken Marshall? He's a friend of mine. He has been involved in many expeditions on the Titanic, and is now one of the art directors. He is watching I also liked your drawings very much. I can see 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. The incident dates back to the April 17 premiere of "Forrest Gump". The previous warehouse fire burned one-third of the film to ashes, and Paramount had to reshoot, but this made "Forrest Gump" The attention of Forrest Gump has once again increased a lot. The box office reached 30 million in the first week of its release, and after that, it has been rising steadily. As Angela knows, both word of mouth and box office have achieved a bumper harvest.
But film critics couldn't help but sigh, if it weren't for that fire, what would the 66th Oscars be like? Is this lucky or unfortunate
Nonsense, of course lucky! Angela, who almost directed Mars to hit the earth, said in her stomach. Of course, for "The Shawshank Redemption" that will be released this year, she can only say sorry. Anyway, you were killed by "Forrest Gump" in your previous life, and now you are not But it just repeats the tragedy.
Well, back to the topic, as the third screenwriter of the script of "Forrest Gump", the girl was also invited to the premiere, so she met James J. Cameron, after receiving Angela's script, the other party began to invest It's all like a joke, that's why the conversation just now.
Should be done. Sighing lightly, the girl finally felt relieved. If this guy doesn't agree, I'm afraid he will have to increase his investment in exchange for the other party's promise. If my father invests... well, maybe $300 million can be spent.
"Chrissy, dear, why... do you have to be the soundtrack of that movie?" Frank in the driver's seat asked at this time.
"Because this will be the second-largest movie in history, and it will be a very classic movie, and I want to put my name on it, that's all." Angela shrugged.
"Really? How much investment?"
"Currently 120 million."
"Just 120 million? It can only be regarded as one of the relatively large investments. The second largest investment in history is not necessarily the second largest investment in history. Maybe there will be more investment than it in the next few years." Uncle said disapprovingly.
"Please hear what I'm saying, Uncle Frank," the girl shook her finger, "What I'm saying is that at present, according to Mr. James Cameron's habit, this investment must be at least doubled. !"
"You mean James Cameron? That 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, rather than delayed until January this year, so that it might still be at the Oscars A piece of the pie." Angela shrugged, then looked at her uncle with interest, "You seem to be more and more familiar with Hollywood, uncle?"
"Oh, of course, I think it's necessary to know more about Hollywood, and not just stop at the appearance of the film as before." Frank nodded yes.
"Well, think I should worry about Sister Julia." The girl gave him a sideways glance.
"This is a slander, my dear, your outlook on life is so bad, I think it's necessary to talk to your mother..." Frank looked at Angela, who had rolled his eyes, and quickly changed his words: "Well, let's not talk about this , talk about other things, you already wrote the theme song for that movie?"
"Of course, the script was written by me, who else understands its theme better than me?" Angela said with a snort.
"Okay, then why not write a theme song for... um, 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?!"
"Hey darling, it's just a small favor, for God's sake, today I'm giving up my date with Julie to be your coachman, can't that also get you a theme song? ?" Frank said with a smile.
"You planned this long ago?" Angela grinded her teeth, glared at her uncle, and sighed after a while: "Okay, I know, I will write it, but don't hold out too much hope."
"Bingo!" Frank snapped his fingers rarely, and it was obvious that she was confident in the girl. Angela smiled bitterly. Although the theme song of "My Best Friend's Wedding" is not like "My Heart Will Go On" 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 have to listen to it again, and it is also very good.
In fact, the girl really wanted to come up with her own original songs, but because these are classic movies, she was afraid that something went wrong and that it would have a bad impact, so she just thought about it, she had to continue to study, just like her Be sure to participate in the soundtrack work of "Titanic", honor and interest are the same thing, and more importantly, copy-imitation-original, the way is this way, just like she painted in her previous life, not to mention her. Not incapable.
The same is true of the script. 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. The "Ten Stories in Azeroth" that hit Ru Lenggong was re-read, and after finishing it, it was sent to the fantasy version of "Amazing" magazine. The story is adapted from ten classic missions, such as the opening mission of the Black Dragon Princess of the Alliance or “Love and Family”. The origin of Xerath, and its history, are linked together and then buried in it for readers to read thoughtfully. As for Blizzard... Who cares about it, besides, when "Warcraft" first came out, there was no background. Besides, "Warcraft" and "World of Warcraft" were preemptively registered by her, so Blizzard should just cry on the side and say Maybe they will develop another classic world because of this.
In order to accomplish this, in the second half of last year, she declined the invitation of the "Interview with the Vampire" crew. The author of the novel, Anne Rice, was very disappointed. She felt that Angela was suitable for the role of Claudia.
No matter what, you have to work hard. The girl touched her chin, and suddenly thought of another question, a troublesome question, should I sing "My Heart Will Go On" by myself, or still give it to Celine Dion? Although "Titanic" may not be completed by the end of 1995, if you practice more before that, you may be able to perform well, but can you really surpass Celine Dion in her peak period? But if it was handed over like this, she was really not very reconciled.
This choice is really difficult. Angela thought with a headache. 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 house next to it and the yard were decorated with birthday ribbons and balloons. Looks colorful in the sun.
"Here we are, my dear," said the uncle now.
