Yes That's Right, The Matrix is what Angela said at the premiere of Titanic
The script of the second action movie, in fact, had already been sorted out long before the outline of the trilogy, so even though there was a lot of work and AP homework had to be taken into account, the script for the first movie was produced at the beginning of the year. , after all, is an important part of her extra plan.
If I want to describe this extra project from scratch and as simply as possible, it is that she needs to have a film company of her own, because only then can she possibly have more rights! Although now she has the right to advise the actors and directors, it is not enough, she needs to speak out on the film production, so that her whole plan can be completed smoothly. Moreover, an investment of more than 5 million yuan in an independent film is a big investment. No matter what, it is impossible for her to spend tens of millions in a film in her own name, even if she can afford it.
Besides, if you independently produce a movie with a box office of over 100 million, the final profit is only tens of millions, but if it is a film company, its market value will be at least a dozen times higher. What is the final value of tens of millions multiplied by this number? Needless to say which is more natural - after being nurtured by her father for a long time, Angela still knows some financial knowledge.
So, register a film and television company yourself? And then hire an experienced CEO under his sole responsibility? Of course it can! But the problem is—let alone not relying on the father's words, the CEO hired will not be deceived, and it is not that the CEO can be the boss after taking full responsibility! So she has the ability to manage a company well
Angela knew very well that her talent in business was simply scum, so after thinking for a long time, she decided to hit Pixar. Both Ed and Steve's business vision was first-class, especially Steve, who had suffered many setbacks. Booth, and John and the others are not necessarily worse than others in terms of Hollywood connections, not to mention she is a genius lady.
But at the same time, she is very worried about the attitude of John and the animators and the possible impact on the animation department. After all, why does the game department resonate with the animation department in many places, but the film department does not! So if it really affects the animation department, she will definitely give up this plan, there is no doubt about this.
Fortunately, Steve solved the problem easily, and because her confession made John and Ed support her approach, Pixar's film department was established during the girl's low-key volunteer labor. .
The first movie was naturally prepared for "The Matrix" for a long time! Whether Pixar established a film department or finally registered a film and television company, the first film will be it. The reason why Angela prepared this script and created momentum for it is to use the box office and word of mouth of this film to make it as soon as possible. Increase the prestige and value of the film department!
Another point is that Pixar's CG technology is first-class - Angela once asked Andrew Stanton Pixar if it is possible to make a live-action CG movie, and the answer is yes, of course, the cost can also make people faint on the spot - Naturally Bullet time can also be shot more smoothly, so The Matrix is the obvious choice.
Originally, she was very worried. According to a preliminary estimate, the budget of "The Matrix" may be around 50 million to 80 million - not counting the publicity expenses - even if someone invests or simply invests Angela herself, Pixar still has to bear a large part of the film. When the department was just established to shoot such a big movie, would such a burden make Steve and the others hesitate
of course not! You know these guys have always been CG fanatics. The relationship between the people of The Matrix and the virtual world is just too much to their taste, and they started burning money as early as the late 70s, and the cost of animation film production itself is higher than most live-action films, and they have long been used to it. Big investment, and the script is so good, and the title of Miss Genius, how could they back down
In addition, after the low-key period of voluntary labor, Angela immediately handed them the idea of bullet time in the form of pictures and texts—although she did nothing during the voluntary labor, she did not stop thinking in her head. , so I drew it soon after the incident basically subsided, and then Andrew and the others made a simple 3D model specially, and the effect was very good, so the preparations for the film began soon, and the girl naturally became one of the producers. one.
Yes, she is just one of the producers. Angela has no time to manage the production funds, or to review the shooting funds and the printing of the film, as well as publicity, sales, etc. Let her be in charge of a small-budget film like "Lola Run". Okay, let’s just forget about the big production. But she also has to choose directors, actors, and make suggestions on costumes and shooting styles, so the head of the film department just needs to find someone else to do these things.
Angela, who was in power at the beginning of the big production, was cautious in the selection of directors. After listening to many opinions and trying her best to recall, she chose Ridley Scott to be the director of "The Matrix".
Ridley Scott is an art director and a director who entered the film industry as a set designer, so his works are very effective visually. The early "Alien" established his status as a science fiction master. In 2000 "Gladiator" almost won him best director, and his use of new technology and his sensitivity to science fiction made him a good fit for "The Matrix."
Of course, you need to be careful not to let him make a jerky, too gloomy and depressing movie like "Blade Runner". Although "Blade Runner" is now recognized as a classic sci-fi movie, it just came out. At the time, it was not understood by everyone. "The Matrix" is quite similar to "Blade Runner" in subject matter, so at this point Angela thinks it is necessary to have a good conversation with this old British man.
As for the cast, of course, the lineup will not be changed. Keanu's Neo image is deeply rooted in people's hearts. Even if someone mocks him for his facial paralysis, it can't change this fact. Similarly, Lawrence Fishburne's Murphys is so cool The image can't be ignored, not to mention the big villain Agent Smith played by "King Elon".
The only thing that changed among the main actors was Trinity, who was named "Trinity". In Angela's view, Kelly Ann Moss was too unbeautiful, so she set Kate early!
"Are you sure you don't want to act? Really?" Angela tilted her head with a playful look at the corners of her mouth, then turned to Jessica and gestured to her to stand up.
"What's wrong?" Although Jessica didn't understand what she wanted to do, she stood up with her gestures, followed by a few puffs that made her scream and jump away, putting one hand on her butt and one on her chest. Although her blushing face was full of anger when she looked at Angela, she also had a hint of shyness hidden in her eyes, and in front of Kate again, her angry expression didn't seem real at all.
"It's a pity, Jesse, if it wasn't already in preparation, I could have postponed it for two years and let you be the heroine when you are fully developed." Angela squeezed her fingers and laughed thiefly, and let Jesse Ka couldn't help but want to give her a good treat.
But Angela sighed and turned to Kate with a helpless look: "Look, Kate, there's really no one else, can't you just make it harder?"
Kate burst out laughing and put her hands on the table: "Obviously, I can't refuse."
"That's good, that's good." The girl nodded vigorously, "So I don't have to redesign the image of the heroine!"
This is the truth. Angela originally wanted to directly use Kate's style in "Underworld", especially her curvaceous figure and cold and arrogant temperament are a big killer. However, the themes and atmosphere of the two films are still different after all, so the girl thought and revised several times before deciding on Kate's image. Although it was still a black tight leather jacket, she kept her short hair and cool looks but removed it. Lonely. Originally, she wanted to stop Kate from wearing sunglasses, but in that case, the character image would be too prominent and not in harmony with the overall atmosphere, so she finally tried her best to design a pair of sunglasses for her.
"Looks like I should thank you." Kate bent her eyes, and suddenly came over and kissed Angela's face.
Although the girl was startled, she didn't move, she still looked at Kate with a smile: "Then it's settled, but then we need to conduct a short-term kung fu training. If you are notified, you must go on time."
"Kung Fu training?" Kate was a little surprised. "The ones you usually practice?"
"Well..." Angela tilted her head and thought, "That's right, but there are still some differences. I learned it from my grandmother, and it can be used for self-defense. All you need to learn is to show off your legs, look. Kind of cool."
To say "The Matrix" especially
Where is the most attractive part of the first part, it's cool! cool! very cool! So cool! Sunglasses, trench coats, double guns, and Chinese Kung Fu, all of which will stimulate the audience, especially the nerves of young men and women. Someone once said that the fights in The Matrix are too soft and not good-looking at all. This is indeed a little bit but not that serious. If you really want to punch to the flesh like a Hong Kong movie, you will lose the charm of The Matrix. After all, that It's a virtual world, and kung fu is just a way to express program conflicts. And even so, no one can deny that "The Matrix" promotes Chinese kung fu. Trinity's opening kick is as cool and classic as Neo's 360-degree shot of dodging bullets.
Although the original "The Matrix"
In the first part, the proportion of Chinese Kung Fu is slightly less, and it is also a bit simple, but now it was created by Angela, so it will naturally be more worthy of the name. And one more thing was added to the girls outside of kung fu, very cool, right? Then it's even cooler! Cool you guys! After spending a lot of time adding that thing into the script, the girl once thought so triumphantly.
"In short, don't worry, there is a martial artist specially invited from Hong Kong to guide you, and you are not like someone, you have a dance foundation, so you will definitely be the fastest qualified one." Angela said "someone" The tone of voice was particularly helpless when she spoke, which made Jessica cover her mouth and laugh, and Kate wanted to laugh, but looking at the girl's green eyes, she always had a bad premonition.
"Okay, okay, I see," Kate didn't bother to search for the reason, "then I'll go back first."
"Why?" Angela was stunned for a while, and then called out: "Hey, Kate, wait! The first Angela Cup Tennis Open is not over yet, and if you run away, the champion will automatically be Jessica!"
"You can keep it for the next time I come, and then continue." Kate spread her hands, "Anyway, you are the organizer."
The girl immediately lowered her face, stood up with her hands on the table and leaned forward to stare at Kate. Although she knew that she was pretending, Kate still got up and hugged her: "Okay, Angie, since you forcibly took away the rest time, I have to go back and discuss with the agent and adjust the schedule to leave the spare time for you."
"Is that so?" Angela looked at her suspiciously.
"Berg arranged two advertisements for me, and you will be able to see it with your own eyes soon." Kate reluctantly spread her hands again.
"Understood," the girl said in a long voice, "then I'll take you out."
Before she could speak, Angela greeted Jessica and dragged her out of the garden. Kate had to pick up her pace to catch up along the way, as if it was Angela who was in a hurry to get out of here. Jessica couldn't help but want to laugh when she saw her staggered back, but then hesitantly sighed and finally shook her head firmly. She always likes to think too much, which is not good.
When Kate and Angela came to the door of the main building, a servant had already brought the red Chevrolet over.
"Then, I'm leaving." Kate took the car keys, tossed them, and said goodbye to Angela.
"Be careful on the road, the time to keep a low profile is over, I'll go see you over there whenever I'm free," the girl whispered as she adjusted her clothes, then gave her a hug, with Kate on her cheek He kissed lightly, and took a deep look at the girl before getting in the car and leaving.
It was not until the red Chevrolet came out of the villa's gate that Angela withdrew her gaze a little gloomily. In fact, her retention just now was not entirely sincere, right? interrupt! When Kate and Jessica appeared at the same time after her low-key period ended, why was the initial feeling of panic? interrupt! If Nat appeared with them now, how long could you hide it? interrupt!
After the girl covered her heart and took a few deep breaths, she finally cleared her head completely, but when she turned around, she was suddenly stunned. Elena stood at the door with Jennifer's help and looked at her gently.
"Mom? Why are you outside? You should be lying on the bed or sitting on the sofa, not standing at the door or walking around! You must know that you are still in a cast!" Angela rushed over immediately, angrily, Moreover, he gave the housekeeper a very dissatisfied look, grabbed the corner of his mother's clothes, pointed to the living room and asked her to go back.
"Okay, Chris, it's not like I've been deprived of my right to come out and get some air." Mom said jokingly.
"I don't care about that, I just know that the cast will be removed soon, and I don't want any problems before that!" At the girl's stubborn and firm request, Elena had to go back to the living room and put the pair on the couch and then sit down against the armrests.
"You must know that even if the plaster is removed, you can't take it lightly! Grandma once said that it will take at least 100 days for a bone to grow completely and completely, so you must do it according to the doctor's request." Angie also sat down on the sofa. La hugged her mother's legs in her arms, still muttering in her mouth.
"Chris, do you want to bring back the nagging I used to say to you?" said helplessly.
Angela closed her mouth immediately, and the words that were just on her lips were blocked. As a result, her cheeks bulged like two small buns, which made Elena and Jennifer, who brought tea, both laugh.
"Chris, did you have a good time today?" Mom asked after laughing.
"Of course, everyone chose to come today, which gave me a big surprise." The girl said with a smile, although some thoughts popped up from time to time, but self-protection was the first to cut them off.
"Yeah, why didn't Kate stay for dinner?" Elena asked again.
"You know, the film department that Pixar just established,
I wanted her to be the heroine in the first movie, so she needed to go back and negotiate with her agent to adjust the schedule. " Angela shrugged.
"Then why can't you make a phone call first?" Mom suddenly said thoughtfully, and Angela suddenly raised her eyebrows. Why does Mom seem to have something in her words
"Speaking of which, you and Kate have known each other for more than ten years. Your father and I also watched her grow up. I really didn't expect that a girl who was not good-looking at the time would be so beautiful now." Elena continued, holding The teacup seemed a little careless.
"Are you saying that the older I get, the uglier I get?" The girl deliberately looked wronged.
Mom smiled without saying a word, and after a while, she said, "By the way, how long have you and Jonathan haven't been in touch?"
"Half a month." Angela said a little resentfully, "except that he didn't call on the night of the accident, there was only one letter, and there were two e-mails, but they were all boring nonsense, obviously he didn't. Take me to heart, don't you? Maybe I should break up with him."
Saying that, she tilted her head and stood up: "Okay, Mom, I'm going to greet Jessica and the gang of little devils, remember to go back to the bedroom after staying in the living room for a long time, I'll be there for you tonight Play a nice flute tune."
After seeing her daughter go to the garden, Elena only withdrew her gaze, then shook her head and sighed softly.
"What's the matter, ma'am?" asked Jennifer next to her.
"It's nothing, Jane, nothing," Elena said with a smile, but her brows remained slightly frowning.
At this time, Angela, who came to the back garden, finally breathed a sigh of relief. Mom shouldn't see anything, her... acting skills have always been excellent, why is my mother pregnant? Is it because you have been staying at home all this time? Or does the mother have no doubts at all, just her own delusion
Whether it was an illusion or not, Angela didn't dare to make trouble, so she didn't dare to stay Jessica overnight after dinner.
"Goodbye, then." Angela said to Jessica standing at the door. Lindsay had already sat in and was looking at the two girls with interest from the car window.
"Okay, see you later." Although Jessica was smiling, she was reluctant to look at it.
"Actually..." The girl suddenly lowered her voice and pressed her hand to her ear, "Mom may have noticed something, so... I'm sorry, I really want you to stay."
Jessica's eyes suddenly lit up, and she whispered back in her ear: "Okay, I know it too, no need to say any more."
Angela couldn't help being stunned. Why did Jessica's tone suddenly become pleasant, so different from just now
"Hey, what are you whispering, I want to listen!" Lindsay yelled.
"Shut up!" Angela and Jessica shouted almost at the same time. The little guy shrank his neck, and then quickly got into the car and couldn't get out. The two girls outside laughed.
"Okay, I'm leaving, you can come to my house when you have time." Jessica blinked, her tone was light and slightly different from the previous smile, which made the girl stunned again.
Of course Angela wouldn't know, even though Jessica said to herself that she just thought too much, there was still a trace of unease and restlessness in her heart, especially when Angela told her that she couldn't stay at home for the night today. .
So at this moment Angela quietly told her that maybe when her mother had doubts, Jessica immediately felt relieved. I don't know if it was lucky or unfortunate.
After sending Jessica and Lindsay away, Angela stood there in silence for a moment before returning to her room, although Jessica reminded her that if the mountain does not come, I will go to the mountain. Of course, be careful. point is better. And it's not always the way, but how do you tell your parents? It's really a problem, if it's just another two years, I can just go out and live...
Anyway, another summer vacation is coming, and Weber High School has an earlier vacation this time, so Angela also has more time to do what she wants to do, such as starting the second step of the plan—
"Cut!" the girl yelled, standing up from her chair, waving her hands, her frown clearly telling everyone she wasn't satisfied.
"Sean, you don't feel right, you did look honest just now, but that's pretending to be honest, you have to be careful to hide this emotion, don't assume that everyone in the movie knows that just because the audience knows you're a liar I'm a liar, understand?" Angela looked at the heroine again after the actor Sean Adri nodded and said that he would pay attention.
This is a black-eyed girl with brown skin and black hair. Her facial features are soft and strong. When she smiles, she has a special flavor and is very charming.
"Do you know what your problem is, Joe?" The girl folded her arms.
The other party held his chin and thought for a while, and then shook his head honestly: "I can think of one thing, Sean is my boyfriend and my accomplice, when he pretends to be honest, it means that someone is taking the bait, I should Cooperate with him, but it was obvious that my body movements were a little flamboyant just now. I know there should be other problems, but I really can't think of anything other than this."
"Very good," Angela smiled, "and the problem is that your lines are wrong."
Xiao Qiao showed a stunned expression, then nodded: "I see, I won't make the same mistake again."
"It doesn't matter, sometimes it's justifiable to have wrong lines. Sometimes the wrong lines are more interesting than the script." Angela smiled and patted the girl who was about her own age before turning around and returning to the chair: "Now let's do it again, and we can rest when it's over!"
This is in a small town called Mungerton on the outskirts of Luoshan Yan, and Angela is directing herself.
The second director's work, a very interesting film.
