Gila and Sean are not familiar with each other. Although the first generation of 007 has a good relationship with the British royal family, the girl has only met her grandfather a few times when she is with her grandfather. It's just that for Sean, it's impossible not to be familiar with Angela, not to mention the names of Duke Albert's granddaughter and Hollywood genius girl, the incident of last year's "Braveheart" alone is enough to raise eyebrows. , by the way, the old man is Scots.
"I heard from the crew that you were coming over a few days ago, but I didn't expect to meet today." Sean said with a smile, touching his iconic stubble.
"Yeah, I really wanted to come over earlier to see the old but still vigorous figure, but unfortunately some things were delayed, and I missed the most exciting scene. Fortunately, there is still the second exciting part. Look." Angela gave the old man a small hug, of course, the most handsome old man in history is really good.
"To be honest, Miss Angela..."
"Angie!"
"Okay, Angie, I didn't want to play this role, but the producer, Mr. Iverson, told me that you specified the last name and asked me to play it. I'm just now, can you tell me why?"
"You know, Your Excellency..."
"Xiao, please call me Xiao."
"Well, Xiao, I don't know if the producer told you, I actually wanted to write a story similar to 007 at first." The girl smiled and spread her hands.
"They didn't say this, but Iverson described the matter of you dictating the script in public in a very detailed way. I can't believe it. It's the first time I've heard that someone can write a script like this." The old man smiled. stand up.
"That's nothing, I just..." Angela made a gesture, "I just recited it. I'm afraid there are no people who write the script orally in public."
"Rather than that, I want to know how a beautiful and beautiful girl like Miss Angela can write such a completely manly movie!" A voice came from behind Sean, a thin and brown-haired Michael Bei walked over, "You know, I will take over the directorship of this film, and it has nothing to do with the screenwriter being Miss Angela."
"God, so I'm the only one who participated in the show because I liked the character?" It was Nicolas Cage who came over at the same time, and the surprised look on his face made several people laugh.
"I should be honored to say that, shouldn't I?" The girl raised her hand.
"Maybe it should be us who feel honored, after all... This is a gifted girl
What about the script for the first man play? "Although Michael was smiling, the small pause in the middle revealed his meaning.
Angela doesn't care about this. Anyway, this kind of thing has never happened since she stepped into the entertainment industry. Who made her a girl? Remember who can say that if a woman wants to be treated equally by men, then she must be as good as them; and if a woman wants to be respected by men, she must be at least twice as good as men! She is probably more aware of this point than many women.
"Like I said to Disney at the beginning, oh, I mentioned it to Xiao just now. Originally, this script was to imitate the 007 series. By the way, I like this series." The girl smiled and explained the origin of the script. The rhetoric originally said, "Since the role of the old British agent itself is the shadow of 007, I can't think of anyone more suitable than Xiao; and the role of chemist, after I learned that Mr. Nicholas spent time training with the FBI. After that, I realized that my decision was definitely right! As for the director, Mr. Michael, who can make excellent commercial films like "Jedi Boys", should not be unfamiliar with similar themes. If Mr. Michael has any good suggestions for the script , you can communicate with me completely!"
The last sentence raised Michael Bay's eyebrows and nodded unequivocally: "Of course there is no problem."
The handsome old man Sean and the handsome young man Nicholas looked at each other and shrugged with a smile.
Although Michael did not mean to underestimate Angela, in the next shooting, the girl still surprised him. When he was about to shoot the old agent throwing the CIA director out of the building and threatening the chemist to escape at the same time, Michael arranged Sean overturned another agent with lightning speed and then threw the director out.
"What do you think?" he asked Angela after communicating with several leading actors.
"I think you can arrange a few more CIA agents to catch Xiao, and after Xiao beats them down with lightning-like punches and kicks, then grab the director who wants to escape and throw him out." The girl pinched her own Chin said with a smile, until the other party's brows were slightly wrinkled before he stopped smiling: "Mr. Michael, you are the director anyway, I don't want to point fingers at your work, so I only use my point of view, the screenwriter's point of view. Share your opinion and hope you don't kick me out like James Cameron!"
This made everyone laugh, and then Angela continued: "In my opinion, no matter how good this agent was before, he is old now, and he has just been released from prison, let him It's almost impossible to be as flexible as a young man, so since he's already tethered the other CIA agents to the living room with a big meal, why can't he just leave the director, the hairdresser, and the chemist on the balcony? His escaping action seemed simpler
Yes, I know, the old agent was about to go big on Devil's Island, but it wasn't the same then, wasn't it? When I was writing this script, I didn't want to portray this old agent as a hero. He has his own hesitations and desires. At this moment, he just wants to escape and meet his daughter, so it is simpler and faster. Action he deserves! What do you think? "
Michael folded his hands and looked at her for a long while without blinking. After making the girl slightly annoyed, he sighed: "I have to admit, you are very reasonable, Miss Angela."
Then he turned around and discussed with the assistant director in a corner. Angela was secretly relieved and shrugged at Sean's thumbs up. After all, she just restored the scene.
In the next shooting, Michael Bay listened to the girl's advice and arranged the process to be very simple, but at the same time very intelligent, and the old man also performed well, not only escaped easily, but also appeared Calmly, he won unanimous applause from the audience.
In the next two days, Michael Bay's scenes in the hotel were almost finished, because Angela's performance proved that she could write such a masculine character, so he was willing to discuss some issues with her on the script, The girl also took the opportunity to observe and learn the other's directing techniques.
She has worked with many directors, and basically each director has his own uniqueness, such as Spielberg and James Cameron's mastery of the overall situation, or David Fincher's arrangement of the weird atmosphere, even if It is the director Chris Columbus who is used to making family comedies, and he has a good grasp of the atmosphere of the comedy. For the girl who was determined to be a director in front of the old lady (see the previous chapter), these are rare experiences. , and Michael Bay has his own unique views on commercial films, so naturally he has to ask for advice.
"Yes, the scenery here is very good, the sun is shining and the sun is shining. I am standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window now. The car below looks not much bigger than an ant." The girl put her hand on her forehead, squinting her eyes through the glass Looking up at the sky, the sun in San Francisco seems to be much stronger than in Los Angeles, and even so, the eyes still sting.
"So did you go out for a walk? Dad and I tasted a lot of seafood at Fisherman's Wharf last time." Jessica's chuckle came from the phone in her hand.
"Of course not. I don't know which idiot in the crew revealed my whereabouts. As a result, a lot of reporters, as well as fans and fans, surrounded the hotel. How could I go out like this." Angela was helpless. Said, sticking in front of the glass and looking down, you can vaguely distinguish between the crowd on the street, those who are reporters and those who are movie fans.
"Really? That's really bad. I remember you said that you would only stay there until Sunday. If the crew wants to rest, you can come back earlier." Jessica's tone was hopeful.
With a wry smile in her stomach, Angela didn't know what to say, because she also said the same thing when she was talking to Kate before. Of course, Kate was more flamboyant than Jessica's gentleness.
"If you were with me in Los Angeles, then it wouldn't have happened, right?" she said.
"Okay, I'll see the situation." Although it was the same perfunctory, but the tone was inaudible at all, obviously the performance had begun to penetrate the girl's bones.
Turning off the phone, after Angela sighed, the knock on the door rang again.
"Please come in."
It was George Wells who pushed the door and came in. He came to San Francisco one day later than the girl. As soon as he arrived on the set, he started to ask about relevant matters without stopping. He only said hello to Angela, and now he suddenly came to her, what would happen?
"What's wrong? Your expression makes me think you saw a Martian!" The other party said jokingly.
"Sorry, please take a seat," the recovered girl hurriedly said, "I was just surprised by your presence, knowing that you seem to be busy all the time."
"Of course, this is a gifted girl
The first fully masculine work, you have to be careful, don't you think? "He stretched out his hands and said teasingly.
"Please, don't mention the 'genius girl'
The first fully masculine work' this sentence! "The girl rolled her eyes. Although everyone recognized the fact that talented girls who are good at writing horror and love stories can also write stories about men because of their previous performance, some people still think it's unbelievable. After all, girls can write well. It's not the story of an ordinary man! So in private, they called "Brave the Deadly Island" "the first fully masculine work of a talented girl", and even Michael and Nicholas laughed and called it, which made Angela very is depressed.
"Okay, then I won't mention that," George smiled and waved his hand. "Actually, I'm looking for you for something else."
"Oh?" Although her tone was doubtful, Angela, who had been thinking a few times in her heart, quickly understood the other party's intention, and couldn't help but feel a little amused that she actually asked you to be a lobbyist, so what can you say? Impress me? Mr George
