If Angela were to choose ten different movies from the movies she had seen in the previous world, "The Truman World" would definitely be among them, this ironic movie is like "Forrest Gump" Generally, every time you watch it again, you will have a deep understanding. The first time you may only care about Jim Carrey's comedy talent, and the second time you will doubt whether the people around you are also acting, but after a few more times, you will Will note that it contains a sharp mockery of the film industry and filmmakers! And a merciless attack on the idea that "the media is omnipotent"! And the screenwriter of this movie is Mr. Andrew Nicole in front of him. In fact, if he hadn't failed to convince the producer, maybe he would be the director of "The Truman World"!
What's more interesting is that after Andrew gained a firm foothold in Hollywood by virtue of his own strength, the first time he worked as a producer, director and screenwriter was "Virtual Idol"!
Although a little surprised, Angela is no longer a newcomer who has just entered the entertainment industry, and still maintains a calm smile: "Can you talk about your idea, Mr. Andrew?"
"Of course," the other party nodded, and then started talking: "In my opinion, the director Victor Taransky in the novel is a real artist, and he has a crazy pursuit of directing the perfect movie. That's what led to his unemployment - Hollywood doesn't need perfect movies, they just want profit - so when the perfect virtual number one appeared in front of him, he didn't hesitate to use her, and he got deeper and deeper! Adapted into a script, such factors should also be completely retained, but it can be arranged in the film company, such as making his wife the manager of the film department…”
Andrew talked eloquently, and Angela also listened carefully. Although the novel version of "Virtual Idol" is not her original work, she still added a lot of things to it. In the movie, the department manager is the director Victor's ex-wife, but the girl abandoned this slightly warm place in order to reflect the coldness of the film company's interests.
However, the biggest change is the ending. The ending of the movie version is that after the director was imprisoned, her daughter killed the virus that infected the virtual No. 1 and brought the virtual character back. So that his father was acquitted. But Angela completely "killed" the director in the novel. Not only did the court sentence him to life imprisonment, but everyone spurned him, including his wife and daughter, because he killed the national idol!
This is the difference between novels and movies. In most movies, no matter how desperate the content is, the audience will always see a ray of sunshine at the end. Even if it is a cult movie, the movie that is really dark from beginning to end is always in the Non-mainstream status, anyway, 80% of the audience who go to the cinema to watch a movie is to vent rather than find guilt.
But novels are different. This is especially obvious in "I Am Legend". The ending of the movie is very sunny whether it is the public version or the director's cut version, but most people do not know that in the adapted novel, the protagonist finally committed suicide by taking medicine! So Angela revised the ending. Although the story of "Virtual Idol" is quite flawed, if some reasonable parties read it, they will definitely be sprayed with nothing to do. However, in the sense of the story itself, the more absurd criticism Sex is stronger! So what could be more ironic than the fact that the director Victor, who made it all, is thrown into prison by people who don't believe their idols are virtual characters? So the girl wants to hear what Andrew thinks about how he handles the ending.
But obviously, Andrew thinks this kind of ending is not suitable for the movie. Not only that, he also made some of the sharper passages in the novel more subtle, almost the same as the original version, which made Angela slightly surprised. , but then relieved. She vaguely remembered that Andrew's work after "The Truman World" was "Virtual Idol". There were comments that although his work was humorous and witty, compared to "The Truman World", the criticism was much weaker. , think about this is normal, anyway, he still lives in the movie circle, isn't he
And now, although Angela has forgotten how the other party became famous, it is obviously not now, and it will not be because of "The Truman World", so it is necessary to hide her edge!
"Thank you for your explanation, Mr. Andrew." Angela applauded lightly. "I don't think I have any opinion on this. Mr. Sparrow will talk to you about the specific situation in detail later."
"Thank you, Miss Angela." Andrew seemed to be relieved, and he could see that he was very concerned about getting it.
In the girl's mind, Andrew's idea is basically okay, and it's okay to leave it to him to operate, but—
"However, I have a small condition." Angela changed the conversation, "I hope that my name will not be on any publicity."
"If...if possible, can you tell me the reason?" Andrew frowned slightly. He is a smart man, otherwise in another time and space, the irony effect of "Virtual Idol" will not be worse than "The Truman World". The reason why he went to buy the adaptation rights of the novel after knowing that Angela was the author was because he wanted to use the girl's fame to open up a situation for himself? But if Angela isn't allowed to advertise and sell in her name, what's the point of doing it herself? Although I really like the story.
The girl laughed at this time: "I think you misunderstood, Andrew, my meaning is very simple, if a film company buys the script and makes it into a movie, I can't have my name in the promotion site - the original column You can write a pen name."
The other party let out a sigh of relief, and at the same time knew that Angela already knew what he was thinking, so she couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed and coughed dryly: "I think I'm fine, but the film company..."
"It doesn't matter, if they call, I will explain it to them." The girl picked it up quickly, vaguely remembering in her memory that the box office of "Virtual Idol" didn't seem to be very good, she didn't want to be questioned for it, even if she didn't Participate in the adaptation, but the media that is afraid that the world will not be chaotic will inevitably continue to hype it again, which is very annoying; if only the film company knows that even if the box office fails, it will only produce the idea of "It's a pity that Angela did not adapt it herself". For girls, this will not only help improve their rights, but also buy favors for Andrew. I have to say that this one played really well.
"Then that's it, I'm sorry for now." The girl stood up, nodded to Andrew, and walked outside, when Sparrow, who was supposed to take over the negotiation, suddenly stopped her: "Please wait a moment. , Angela."
"What's wrong?" The girl turned around.
Sparrow walked over quickly, then lowered his voice slightly: "There is an important invitation, I think you should tell you now, so that you will have more time to think about it."
"It's so important to say it now? Does Time Magazine want me to be on the cover?" Angela asked jokingly.
Sparrow didn't laugh, but said seriously: "Mr. Perlman will be at the Kodak Theater on April 26th at the first concert of his national tour, and he wants you to be his guest!"
"Itzhak Perlman?! You mean Mr. Itzhak Perlman?! I heard that right, Jack!" Angela was a little surprised, knowing that she had an intersection with the famous violinist It was only limited to the few days of filming "Schindler's List" in Poland. Although they chatted happily at that time, they were not close enough to invite her as a guest performer, right
"That's true. Mr. Perlman's assistant called me in the morning, and I asked him personally," Sparrow handed a note. "This is Mr. Perlman's phone number, he said. You can call if you have any questions."
The girl took the note with the phone number written on it, and she still can't make up her mind. Although she knows that her instrument is good, even now she never stops practicing every day. Many people praise her, saying She had the level of a quasi-master, but she never thought so herself, and she couldn't help feeling flattered that violin master Itzhak Perlman invited her to be the guest performer in his first concert.
Until she returned to the garden, she was still a little dizzy. It was so sudden that Angela couldn't help but want to ask herself: Is it possible
At this moment, a whistling sound came from the side, and he turned his head to see that Clark and Isabelle were walking slantingly on the grass under the leadership of the maid, although the two of them were about to Turned 2 years old, but the small arms and legs are not enough for them to fully support their bodies. But there are a few words to say.
Probably feeling the eyes of their elder sister, the two little guys turned their heads in unison, then screamed happily, struggling to walk towards her.
"Hey, you two, do you miss me so much?" Angela put the question aside for a while, walked over with a smile, first picked up her sister, and kissed her pink cheek, the little guy was so happy He waved his hand, opened his mouth, and said something he didn't understand. Clark next to him was unhappy at this time. He thought that his sister was biased, and he would cry out when his face collapsed.
"Hey hey, Claude, I didn't say I didn't want you!" The girl hurriedly shouted, hurriedly squatted down, hugged her younger brother in her arms, and as usual, with the help of the maid, put the two little boys together. Picked up one by one, then sat down on the chair under the parasol, letting them rest on their bodies.
Only in this way will the younger siblings feel fair and stop making noises, but then they start tossing on the elder sister in a tacit understanding, such as grabbing the elder sister's hair with their hands, or wiping saliva on the elder sister's clothes or On the face, it would be even better if it dripped into my sister's neckline.
Angela also allowed them to make trouble. After all, it was her own brother and sister. She was a single child in her previous life, and it was impossible to have a brother or sister.
"If only you were in New York now," the girl said with a sigh while playing with the two little guys on her body, "Maybe I can rely on you to reconcile with Natalie."
The little guys couldn't understand it at all. They looked at her with bright eyes and could only scream, and occasionally they could say a word. For example, Isabelle called out, "Fiddle!"
"Have you learned this word? So I'm doing a good job in education." Angela said with a smile, her heart suddenly moved, and a few seconds later she slammed her sister into a kiss: "It's great, Isa ,I love you!"
Just as the younger brother was about to protest, Angela immediately nibbled on his face again, then handed the two little guys to the maid, and followed the windy lookout house, Isabel's word reminded her that she was going now Give Perlman a call, maybe she can win Natalie's heart back if a few things are certain!
