"What I want to talk about now is the content of next week. There will be no mandatory homework next week, and the subject matter is not limited, but I will ask Mr. Conrad to record it as an extra point." Duke Harvey told the ring beside him said a member of the film club.
"God, this is also a non-mandatory homework, forget it Duke, just say it must be done or not." Only Bella, who is in the same grade as him, can shout at the current film club president like this. Brac.
Bella and another girl, Carol Tallinn, are, like Duke, the only three remaining members of the studio who worked on "Blair Witch" -- Morris and Jim both graduated last June -- so they are together. The relationship between them is much closer than the average member, and Bella is Duke's girlfriend.
"I've made it very clear, Miss Bella, it's just extra grades! If you think your grades are enough, you don't have to turn in this assignment at all." Duke rolled his eyes with a headache, "There are others. problem?"
"Can several people film together and borrow equipment from the film company?" Carroll has always come out to smooth things out.
"This is no problem, you can discuss it and write an application." Duke nodded, "Is there any problem?"
After seeing everyone whispering for a while, they all shook their heads to indicate that it was gone. He was about to announce that today was the end of the day, when Bella suddenly coughed lightly. Duke was stunned and then understood. He spread his hands and looked at the one sitting outside. Person: "Do you have any other comments or additions, Angie... Angie?"
"What?" Angela, who came back to his senses, was still a little dazed, "Oh... No, no, I don't have any opinion."
Suddenly, there were a few disappointing murmurs among the members, especially the 9th grade students who just joined last year. Almost all of them joined the film club because of Miss Genius, so when I learned that Angela didn't come to the movies very often. After the club, a lot of people left after the half term, and those who stayed were those who were really interested in movies.
"Okay, Miss Busy," Duke sighed, "but since it's rare to spend a little more time in the film department today, it's better to guide everyone. You're still the vice-chairman anyway."
"Actually, there's really nothing to say, because shooting and directing are completely different. If you want to give an example, shooting is a sketch, using simple tools to directly present a simple picture to the audience; while the director is painting oil paintings, canvases, and brushes. , paint, palette, etc. to consider. So just shoot like a sketch." Angela said briefly, then stood up: "I'm sorry, I have to leave first—and There are a lot of other things to do."
Smiling at everyone, she turned to pick up the satchel and went out. Duke immediately chased after him: "Wait, Angie."
"What's the matter? Don't tell me to stay." Angela grimaced, "I have followed your advice, I stayed here for two hours and just said a few words, because I went to London to attend the funeral. They are already very upset about the delays in the two films, and I have to find a way to make up for it."
Duke couldn't help laughing and went out: "I just wanted to ask, after this shooting assignment is completed, if you have time to browse it, and then make some simple comments, even if it is just written on paper and conveyed by me."
"Isn't this all the responsibility of your chairman and the instructor, Mr. Conrad?" Angela was a little strange.
"Come on, Angie, everyone knows that if you hadn't been busy all the time, how could it be my 11th-grade student's turn to be the chairperson?" Duke waved his hand, "Besides, you're still the vice-chairman, no matter what. Some of the blame is on you, and if you can get your comments, the members will definitely be more confident... "
"Okay, okay, I promise," Angela had to interrupt him, "it shouldn't take much time, right?"
"Of course, of course." Duke nodded again and again, and suddenly asked again at the end: "You really agreed?"
"Do I have a choice?" Angela rolled his eyes at him, then turned to leave.
Coping with other students' conversations, Angela went out of the building to the school gate, and got into the car before the ambush paparazzi jumped up: "Go to the film department now, they must be in a hurry."
After she finished speaking, regardless of the flashing lights surrounding the car, she leaned on the backrest and closed her eyes. She has been chased by paparazzi since she returned to Los Angeles three days ago. The reason was naturally Her Royal Highness's funeral, although she completed the ceremony. She fulfilled her wish to send Her Royal Highness the last journey, but it also became the focus again due to the exposure of her whereabouts.
Why not block Tom Cruise and the others! Angela was a little angry. She actually knew that this was very helpless. Who let her identity and relationship with the princess be there, so she just wanted to lose her temper. Anyway, the American paparazzi Softer than the British relative, albeit a little bit.
Fortunately, there were no reporters in Westminster Abbey, and the cameras weren't looking at her, otherwise... Angela bit her lip, thinking of the surprised and a little weird eyes around her, she couldn't help it. Wanting to shudder, God testified that she was only sympathizing with William and Harry, because the loss of a mother was really hard to bear. However, she is indeed a little reckless. You must know that there are so many people present. If she hadn't recovered enough composure, she might have fled in those eyes. You must know that there are members of the royal family around, even She felt that Queen Elizabeth II and her grandfather looked at her like this. So the day after the funeral, she hurried back to Los Angeles.
They should not have too many associations, Angela rubbed her nose, especially Her Majesty, hoping not to think of the word "seduce", although her reputation in the whole circle is not bad, but after all Entertainers.
Forget it, stop thinking blindly, this is totally unfounded. Does the queen think about inexplicable things like you all day long? Angela comforted herself in her heart and sighed again as she watched the street gradually rise. This time she went to London without saying hello, which caused a lot of confusion in the film department. After all, both films were She is the producer, and Ridley can help to provide reference for "The Matrix", but "Death Is Coming" is almost paralyzed.
Although Angela arranged for director James Huang and deputy manager Bruce to negotiate the editing temporarily in the floppy disk that Annie handed over to Sparrow, but only one-third of the daily thoughts were edited, and the rest was just written down, but It can only be said that post-production did not stop completely. So after she came back, she immediately hurriedly threw herself into the later stages. You must know that "Death Is Coming" was originally scheduled to be released at the end of April. If she hadn't gone to London for a week, she should have started promoting and waiting for the release now.
"Hi, Jesse." Angela hugged Jessica warmly, and then politely shook hands with several other actors: "It's nice to see you here, I think it's going well, right?"
"Not bad, if it weren't for you not coming, we would have left." Edward's words were still not very polite.
"He's actually jealous, because everyone says you're better than anyone else in those few minutes." Jessica grinned and whispered in Angela's ear, and Angela shrugged and patted Edward's arm with a smile without speaking.
After roughly watching the episode in which the actors were called to dub, she was basically relieved, and she did a pretty good job. If she worked hard, the film would basically be completed, and it was precisely because of the performance of the main actors today. Dubbing work, otherwise she wouldn't be able to take time to stay in the film club after school, she must know that the three days after she came back have been busy for her.
It cannot be said that James Huang is not good at editing, but this is his first time directing after all, and it is inevitable that he is quite satisfactory when editing, while Bruce's forte is management, and the role of producer is concurrent, so we discussed editing. In Angela's opinion, only half of what came out met her requirements, so she had no choice but to resort to overtime pay, and then in these three days, she finally made up most of the delayed progress.
So far, the editing of the film has been basically completed except for the beginning, which is still to be discussed. There are only some piecemeal work left, and the preview meeting can be held in a few days.
"Edward, I'd like to say that you did a great job," Angela said to Edward after announcing that today's work was well done. "You know, sometimes a few minutes of acting is easier to master."
"What should I say, thank you for your compliment?" Edward adjusted his clothes and didn't put his eyes on Angela. "Since there is no place to remake, then I can leave, right?"
However, after walking a few steps, he turned back to Angela's eyes and said calmly, "Thank you for your compliment."
"It seems that although you rejected him, it is impossible for him to forget you." Jessica whispered in Angela's ear at this time, the hot air was itchy in her ear.
"You mean, should I accept his kindness?" Angela turned her head and raised her eyebrows to ask deliberately.
"If you want to accept it, there's nothing I can do, right?" Jessica pouted, and Angela's rosy lips made Angela want to drag her into the corner and seal it tightly.
Of course, she didn't do that, but changed the subject: "How do you feel about your performance? I said that while you're not the best, you're definitely much better than before."
This is Angela's heart. Jessica's performance is indeed much better. Although most of the time there is still some lack of naturalness, there is no longer the feeling of being completely performing. Just spend more time to comprehend and polish. If you practice and craft it carefully, she will definitely have her own way of performing.
"Thank you for your affirmation, Angie, but I always feel like I can do better."
Jessica sighed a little unwillingly, but she cheered up without waiting for Angela to comfort her: "It's okay, I still have time, don't I?"
"Of course, sooner or later you will shine, I believe it!" Angela took her arm affectionately.
"By the way, remember the TV series I told you about?" Jessica said suddenly.
"The one that made you play the protagonist?" Angela raised her eyebrows. "The filming has already started? Then can you tell me the name?"
"Yes, the filming has just started. It is a sci-fi series produced by Fox's Home Entertainment Company. You can't imagine who the producer is." Jessica said triumphantly.
"Oh?" Angela squinted her chin. "Obviously, this should be someone you know, maybe you have worked with, and it's a science fiction TV series, shouldn't it be James Cameron?"
"Bingo!" Jessica showed a shocked look, "It's amazing, you guessed it at once."
"Well... I guessed it actually," Angela's eyes wandered, and she muttered "It's a coincidence" before asking again, "By the way, what's the name of the TV series?"
"It's called "Dark Angel". In fact, when Mr. Cameron came to me directly and said that there was a TV series that wanted me to audition, I was not very willing, but when I heard the name..." Jessica stared at Angela, "I don't think it could be closer to you or the opposite of you... well, I know it's childish, but I..."
"Don't talk about it, Jesse." Angela's hand holding her arm lightly and forcefully stared at her, "I know."
The two looked at each other and smiled, everything was silent, and then a discordant voice interjected: "It looks like your work is almost finished, isn't it, Angie?"
"Ha, it looks like you're off work, Rayleigh?" Angela turned her head, still holding Jessica's arm, and then introduced the two of them.
"Nice to meet you, Mr. Scott."
"Me too, Miss Alba."
After chatting with each other, Ridley said again with a smile: "Angie, when are you going to start returning to work here, you can't put this burden on an old man like me. Bar?"
"Come on, Rayleigh, to be honest, I have some regrets now. Maybe you should have been in charge of editing from the beginning." Angela showed a helpless and headache. "The Matrix" is also edited by director Ridley like "Death is Coming", but the daily editing part is one-fourth of his comments. After all, this movie is very important, but let her come back After taking the time to look at it, I felt that Ridley should be responsible for all the unimportant scenes, and there were very few parts that did not match her in the clips supervised by the old man.
"That's not possible, although I'd really like to, Mr. McKinley has already said that everything is subject to your opinion." Ridley spread his hands, "so you should hurry back to work here. "
"Okay, I see." Angela wanted to smile bitterly, "I should be able to edit the title after overtime tonight, so the work on "The God of Death" is basically completed, and then I will continue with "The God of Death" The end of The Matrix."
This is all because of "Memento," which was funded by Pixar instead of being produced independently. Although it missed the Independent Spirit Award, it still received numerous praises and the box office went up. Until the next stage, the North American box office was just over 100 million, and the cost plus publicity fee was less than 10 million. Naturally, Pixar made a lot of money, and it also increased Angela's words on the side of the live-action film department. Kwon, since she said before leaving that she would take her opinion, McKinley, the department manager who also serves as a producer, will definitely not allow any changes.
"If this situation of producing several movies at the same time happens again in the future, then I'm definitely the dumbest guy in the world!" Angela couldn't help but said angrily, looking at the crowd preparing to get off work outside.
"This can't be said too absolutely. If you really have to supervise several movies at the same time in the future, doesn't that mean slapping yourself in the mouth?" Jessica said with her eyes bent.
"So, you really want me to slap my own mouth?" Angela gave her a sideways glance.
"Hey, I didn't say anything." Jessica quickly closed her mouth and looked up at the ceiling at 45 degrees, as if nothing had happened, but after a few seconds she lowered her head again: "So you have to stay, too. Can't go back together after coming down to work overtime?"
"Yeah, as long as the title is edited, the movie will come to an end. Naturally, the sooner it is finished, the better." Angela shrugged, then hugged Jessica and whispered in her ear: "Don't worry, We have time."
"I know, then I'll go first." Jessica nodded understandingly, the corners of her mouth curved, even her smile was still so charming, Angela couldn't help but caressed her face gently, looking left and right No one grabbed Jessica's hand and dragged her into a small room, then pressed her against the wall and directly blocked her rosy lips.
With the slightest ambiguous gasp, the two girls kissed passionately.
As the post-production of "Death Is Coming" came to an end, preparations for the preview session began, and Angela was finally able to fully focus on "The Matrix", well, not completely, because there are still two The script is about to be written, especially the "Never Compromise" for my aunt, and the large amount of information collected has not yet been analyzed and sorted out.
But "The Matrix" can't be delayed. The original plan was to release it at the beginning of the summer vacation in mid-June, but it has been delayed for a week, and there are still three AP exams in May, and there are still more exams after the exam. There are important things to do, and she has to spend time preparing before that. The time is really not enough, so Angela has to add another week of work and stay in the editing room every night until 9 o'clock. I just went home, but the progress has indeed sped up a lot. It seems that the editing work may end in early May. This event is worth celebrating, isn't it
