The three men present stared wide-eyed. Ridley couldn't understand what he was talking about, while Master Yuan and "Tiger" were surprised that the girl could speak Chinese so well, even though she could sing Chinese songs. Everyone knows something, but singing is not the same as speaking.
"Do we... know each other?" Although Master Yuan had a strong Cantonese accent, Angela still understood the meaning.
"I don't know if Mr. McKinley told you, Master Yuan Heping, I asked to go to Hong Kong to invite you over." The girl tilted her head slightly, closed her right eye playfully and raised her index finger, "I have seen Hong Kong movies. , especially there are quite a few kung fu movies!"
"I believe this, even though your clasping fists are very non-standard." It is rare that Yuan Ba Ye can still joke, but the slightly fierce face full of flesh smiled, there is a strange feeling, making people laugh is not afraid or not .
"I just learned kung fu for a few days, and then watched a lot of movies. This is the first time I have hugged someone." Angela, who had smacked her tongue in her heart, was still smiling.
"Have you really studied kung fu, Miss Mason?" the young man named "Tiger" couldn't help but interject.
"Sorry, who are you?" Looking at this young man with thick eyebrows, big eyes and refreshing short hair, the girl showed a puzzled expression.
"My name is Chen Hu, my ancestral home is Sichuan, China," said the young man with a hearty smile. "The English name is the pronunciation of tiger, because I once served as a trainer in a martial arts gym in San Francisco, which is in line with 'young, fluent English, and teaching foreigners—oh, yes Teaching Westerners - the experience of martial arts', so the master asked me to be his assistant."
"Nice to meet you, I believe your kung fu must be very good." Angela couldn't remember if Yuan Baye had such an assistant when he was the action director of "The Matrix", maybe he didn't, maybe he just forgot. Hey, no matter what, as long as Master Yuan can fully reflect the charm of Chinese Kung Fu in the fight, it will be fine.
"It's not bad. I came to the United States after I won the Chinese Junior Wushu Championship. I won the championship in the US 60kg karate competition and the all-around champion of the San Francisco International Wushu Invitational Championship." Chen Hu was slightly proud. "May I know what you study? Karate? Or Bruce Lee's Jeet Kune Do?"
"Well... I have learned a little Wing Chun." Angela shrugged, "It's just framing the legs, barely able to defend myself."
"Wing Chun?" Yuan Heping and Chen Hu couldn't help but be stunned.
Ridley interjected at this time: "I said, gentlemen and ladies, can you communicate in English? Please don't bully this old man who doesn't understand me, okay?"
Angela burst out laughing, and quickly stretched out her hand: "I'm so sorry, Mr. Scott, I'm so sorry."
"It doesn't matter, you can call me Ridley or Reilly." The old man smiled and shook hands with the girl, "So I can call you Angela too, right?"
"It's an honor, I'll be happier to call me Angie." Angela said and looked around, several leading actors were still training hard, and couldn't help but winked at Ridley: "Then, please tell me Ridley. , are you here to watch their training, or are you planning to train with them?"
"Me? Forget it, my old bones can't stand the toss!" As if to comment on Ridley's words, Keanu's screams immediately sounded there, and he strode like a split. On the floor, a martial artist pressed his shoulder down.
"It looks like that's true." Angela couldn't help twitching the corners of her mouth a few times. Although there was a distance, Keanu's expression of grinning and sucking in cold air was still very clear.
"I just came here to ask Mr. Yuan what the effects of the movements you designed will be." Ridley continued, "I have to admit, the effects must be good after filming."
"Then it also requires Master Yuan's guidance." The girl spread her hands with a smile, and then looked at Yuan Baye and his apprentice Chen Hu, "Maybe Master Yuan will still say in his heart that this action is really badly designed. ."
Chen Hu couldn't help but regurgitate his laughter, and then translated the words to Yuan Heping as it was, and the old man laughed out loud, at this time Angela remembered something and turned to Ridley: "So Do you bring all the blueprints with you?"
"Yes," Ridley nodded and brought the folder aside. "What are you looking for?"
"I want to ask a professional about some motion designs." The girl took out what she was looking for in a few seconds, and then handed it directly to Yuan Ba Ye's hand: "Master Yuan, look at this, don't worry, When I was drawing, I had already made annotations in both Chinese and English formats.”
Yuan Heping took it over and watched it carefully with Chen Hu, while Ridley, after thinking for a few seconds, asked the question he had wanted to ask for a long time: "Angie, you can explain your script to me in detail. idea?"
"What?" Angela raised her eyebrows, as if she didn't understand.
"I mean..." the old man gestured, "the world you've built is incredible, just like the Morpheus line you wrote in the script: What is truth? How is truth defined? If It refers to touch, smell, taste and vision, which are all electronic signals received by the brain. The virtual world can simulate these, but in the real world, we also rely on the senses such as smell and taste to receive information from the outside world! I never thought that It can also be interpreted in this way, who am I? Where am I? This philosophical question, and the future of man and machine, although there are two other outlines in hand, I believe there must be many interesting places You didn't say it, and I'd love to know what you thought when you conceived it."
Everyone seems to like to ask me how I came up with the idea, from the earliest Nancy to last year's Michael Bay. Angela was somewhat dissatisfied, even though Ridley's eager eyes clearly told her that he simply wanted to have a discussion.
In this case... The girl raised her mouth in her heart, and then said with a very serious expression: "Actually, as you said, this is a reflection on who I am and where I am, and this question is born from human beings. It was there at that moment, and there is still no answer to this day. Why do we exist? In what form? I remember reading a short science fiction suspense novel, when all observers no longer observe, when the quantum is no longer in a state of collapse What will our world be? And what will we be?! This is the key, what is real! Who can be sure that it is real! Is our existence inevitable or accidental?! It is the universe The result of thinking is that God sneezed?! No one can give an answer! Maybe there will never be an answer! This may be the tragedy of human beings!"
At the end, Angela waved her hands with excitement on her face like a mad believer. Ridley's eyes widened and he looked at her in disbelief. After a long while, he asked a little late: "Really?"
The girl raised her head and looked towards the ceiling with a pity and pity for a genius. After taking a deep breath, she turned to the old man again, and uttered a word very seriously: "Fake."
Ridley snorted and coughed a few times, while Angela covered her mouth and giggled, realizing that the old man who was being played took a long time to breathe, and looked at the girl angrily and funny, but before he could ask, Angela has already spoken first.
"There's nothing to think about life, dear Rayleigh!" the girl said with a smile, "I just wrote a story, a fun and cool story, that's all! Except for the characters' names, it was accepted by a writer who wrote a novel. It took me a while to name them. It was just because of the development of computer technology that I came up with the idea of writing a story based on the virtual world, and then I came up with this script!”
"But..." The old man gestured unconsciously, looking a little confused.
"There are a thousand Hamlets in a thousand people. The interpretation of the story is in the hands of the people who read it, not the people who wrote it. Let's be honest, Rayleigh, "Blade Runner" is indeed a good movie, but what do you think is the current evaluation And how much of the initial evaluation is related to what you want to express?" Angela spread her hands, and her eyes had wisdom that did not match her age.
"There are quite a few, but..." Ridley understood what the girl was trying to say, he sighed and spread his hands. "They obviously think more than I do."
"Yeah, that's what I'm saying, once a work is elevated to the point that even if it doesn't make sense, it will be interpreted as meaning, maybe the author just wants to write a story, but some people see it and think it's a World!" The girl shook her head.
In my previous life, I saw those long comments and thoughts on "The Matrix" on the Internet more than once. They thought more than anyone else, and they could interpret things that the screenwriter and director did not have at all! As if that were the case! Someone once swore to say that the trilogy was planned long ago, and it was a chain!
In this regard, Angela, who knows enough about the Hollywood movie model in this life, completely scoffs, if "The Matrix"
If the first film fails miserably at the box office, no matter how good it is, it will be swept into the trash, if lucky, it will be recognized like Blade Runner in the near future, and unfortunately it will become the representative of bad film!
After the unprecedented box-office success of "The Matrix", the studio began to have the idea of a two-part series after the idea of Chase. How Hollywood Movies Work
The first one left enough suspense to make a sequel, plus some small tricks—a mountain is a mountain, a mountain is not a mountain, a mountain is still a mountain—so a film with deep philosophical thinking is slowly built with the hands of many fans , even if entertainment and business are its first elements!
"So there's no need to dig into it, just shoot it as you understand it," Angela said to Ridley. "Of course, I'll give my opinion from time to time, as long as we can communicate well."
"I believe this." The old man nodded.
It is undeniable that if you really want to study "The Matrix", there will be a lot of interesting things. The understanding of Chinese metaphysics plus the handling of falsehood and falsehood, Angela has also written a lot of her own in her previous life. I understand, but in this life...
I don't care what it means and how I interpret it, it's only there to strengthen Pixar's film department, and it's just to smoothen my plans!
