Even if the influence of the role of "The Thread of Fire" on her continues, Angela can only leave it behind. No matter how good her idea is, she can't implement it now, and her energy is limited, so she can't patronize here. Above, as long as she wants, there will be many things to do, such as - the script.
George has asked her about the progress of "I'm Crazy for Mary" through Sparrow more than once, and not only Disney, but the other 6 major Hollywood studios all want to buy this script after getting the news, especially Universal, which has never cooperated before. , Columbia and MGM showed the strongest performance, especially MGM, which is currently only supported by the 007 brand, and urgently needs a good movie to turn over.
They have started with the right price and attractive additional conditions, such as having an important say in the selection of roles - this hand is not only for 20th Century Fox, but unfortunately, Angela will not consider Columbia or MGM, As for the former, it goes without saying that the latter... Although she is very sympathetic to the final outcome of MGM, it does not mean that she wants to cooperate with a film company with a Mafia background.
In fact, she never thought of handing the script to any of the seven major film companies. Apart from them, there are other medium-sized film companies in the film company that intends to cooperate. Angela has taken a fancy to one of them. , New Line Cinema best known for low-budget horror films. They were not chosen because of how good their conditions were. There was only one reason. She would take what originally belonged to them, and she would take more in the future, so she compensated them a little now.
However, although the film company that will operate the script has been set, in fact, "I'm Crazy for Mary" has not been completely finished, even though she has been slowly writing it since November last year.
After all, starting from Thanksgiving in November, with the three festivals of Christmas and New Year, no one will rush to work at this time, although Angela decided to finish it in February. But the start of filming of "Pirates of Fire" caused her to delay again. Especially when she is in a difficult mood, how is it possible to create words, and she can't know every detail of the movie, and she has to spend a lot of time thinking and supplementing. Therefore, the first draft was not completed until the end of February.
But these are all small details. What really made her slowly write "I'm Crazy for Mary" is that most of the energy she spent on the script was given to her original script in the true sense - "Little Ghosts and Thief"!
"If you're watching this channel right now, you should see right behind me, people running in panic, cops and robbers shooting each other fiercely! But don't worry. It's just a movie, otherwise. I Should be lying here to report for you.
This is the latest work of the famous director Michael Mann. The two leading actors, Robert De Niro and Al Pacino, performed together for the first time. Although we still do not know the main content of the film, but from the shooting of this street shootout As you can see, this will be an excellent work, as well-crafted as the rest of Michael Mann's work!
Hey hi, can you talk about your feelings about the shootout just now? "
"Wow, this is so cool, it makes the blood boil. You know, I just saw Robert De Niro! The way he holds the gun is so mesmerizing."
"No no no, I'd say Al Pacino looks cooler with a gun. Didn't you see that when he rushed over there just now! He's as strong as a cheetah!"
"Let me tell you, Johnny! It's true that Al is a cheetah, but Robert is a cheetah younger than him! If you put them on the same starting line, you'll know who's stronger!"
"Really, Luke? It looks like your middle school teacher didn't teach you biology well, so let me tell you..."
"Well... well, thank you for answering, I think I won't bother you to discuss biology, hi, everyone, I believe you have seen the level of anticipation of this movie, I hope Mr. Mike Mann can finish it as soon as possible, let Meet everyone! Billy Adway, LA has you covered!"
Slam, Angela with her feet on the table turned off the TV with the remote control, and then shrugged and sighed. It's a pity that today, "The Robbery" was filming the classic scene of the bank robbery on the street, but she couldn't participate.
If there is any regret in filming "The Wire", it is that I can't see Robert De Niro's acting skills in person! Even though her favorite is Al Pacino, there's no denying that Robert is a figure on par with Al.
It's a pity, this is the only classic movie where the two great actors play against each other. The girl thought a little dully, her few scenes have been completed, and the activities of the crew have nothing to do with her for the time being.
Well, maybe I can write a script for the two of them to play together again in the future, certainly not the "Just Killing" kind of shit. Angela thought a little bit YY, but then she rolled her eyes, let's write her own original script first, otherwise I'm afraid the script written is not as good as "Justifiable Murder"!
The girl put her feet off the table, picked up the typed manuscript and read it again. Compared with the original version of "Little Ghosts", her "Little Ghosts" probably only has the same name. The basic content is as follows:
The boss of a certain company was calculated when his business was booming. Not only did he lose the company, but he couldn't afford it. After the family got into trouble, his 7-year-old son wanted to help his father, but he didn't know what to do. Hesitantly, he entered a simple web page on the Internet. A low fee to help steal anything, so the little boy sent an email with great enthusiasm, hoping to help steal back to his father's company. What he didn't know, however, was that this so-called company of thieves was nothing more than something a girl from a single-parent family made when she was bored!
This girl named Betty is very kind and lovely, and likes to help others, but the beauty in the ointment is that she has a very strong talent, no matter what she does, she can screw up, so she really wants to do something to prove herself!
Because her favorite novel character is Yassen Robin, she was full of fantasies about being such a powerful phantom thief, so she entrusted her crazy good friend, Doris, who was very talented on the computer, to help make such a phantom thief. The page was lost online, and she never thought it would work until she got an email from the little boy.
Betty thinks this is a good opportunity to prove herself, so she decides to help the other party, but she doesn't know how to steal the company back.
After setting the goal, she pulls in a gang of best friends, including Doris, who are afraid that the world will not be chaotic. They plan to do a good job. They collect information, plan plans, and then sneak into the company. The process is full of jokes, because of Betty's existence. , The plans including the three backup plans were all screwed up, but with a little luck, they finally got into the vault, but they only got the documents in the other safe.
It seems that the plan failed, but when they were retreating, they sent the document to the little boy because of a series of coincidences. This is precisely the evidence that the little boy's father was framed. As a result, with this evidence, his father won him back. company of! The little boy also sent a thank you email to the girl.
Betty, who had been downcast because of this, finally cheered up, she finally helped others perfectly, which made her face every day with more confidence!
It's a very cliché and far-fetched plot, but it's very effective. No one really thinks Macaulay King can deal with two robbers alone, but "Home Alone" is also a box office hit, which is why Angela chose this theme.
But this kind of nonsense comedy is very demanding of detail. Those scenes are meant to make the audience laugh. Which parts should make the audience smile, and which parts should make the audience moved, these are all things that need to be paid attention to, and these are the headaches for girls at present.
"Damn, is it so difficult to create a script?" Angela scratched her head in distress and walked around the room. Even when she was writing a Warcraft novel, she had never been so distressed.
There is no shortage of jokes. You must know that she has seen a lot of movies in her previous life, but how to use it in this story and make the plot attractive is really not an easy thing, sometimes it really needs a flash of inspiration. , For example, in the original story, the protagonist Betty is actually a very smart girl with strong hands-on ability, but there are many unrealistic fantasies, but this is still the style of "Home Alone", which cannot be considered good.
Then on Christmas Day, because of the inspiration brought by Mr. Bean, she changed her to the character who can always screw things up but has great luck, so the laughs have increased a lot, but she always felt that there was something else. It's not right, so I have to continue to think and revise. If this script can't even be read by myself, how can it be shown to others? !
At this moment, the phone rang suddenly, Angela waved the manuscript in her hand, put it on the table, and then grabbed the phone: "Hello, who is it?"
"Hi, Angie, it's me." came Jessica's voice over there.
"Hi, Jesse, I'm so glad to hear your voice." Angela's depressed mood suddenly became happy.
"Well, today is the Grammy Awards. You have several nominations. I wish you the trophy and hope to see a beautiful you on TV."
"Thanks, Jessie, but I'm not going to the ceremony today." The girl shrugged.
"Don't go to the scene? Why?" Jessica was a little surprised.
"Because... I don't want to go, that's all." Angela said, in fact, the reason why she didn't want to go, last year's lack of income was only a small reason. After all, the results of "Front" are obvious to all, MTV Awards, Billboard He has won a lot of awards, and "Light" is still hanging on the rankings. If this year's Grammys are still like this, it will only be slapped in the face.
So, the real reason Angela didn't go was just because she didn't want to dress up. It's not interesting to know that as she grows older, there will be fewer and fewer people participating in this kind of celebration.
"Well, anyway, I wish you the trophy." Jessica didn't ask more.
"Thank you, by the way, Jesse, there are more than ten days left for my birthday. I think I will invite you and Lindsay to come to my house, and then we will go to other places to play together, how about it?" Angela Suddenly said.
"Um… well, if you want, then no problem."
"Then it's settled, then I'll let someone pick you up! Goodbye!"
Angela put down the phone with a sigh of relief. Every time she saw Jessica, she wanted to find out the reason for the separation between the two, but every time she left Jessica, she would forget it, really. It was annoying, and she wanted to use the time of the birthday party to solve this problem completely.
However, she didn't know what her birthday party would look like.
