"Leading the technological revolution in the film industry?" Angela blinked, there was no reaction on the surface, but her head began to spin rapidly. What could make James Cameron, who can be called a tech madman, claim to lead a technological revolution in the film industry, and another tech madman George Lucas seems to agree
"Well... let me think about how to say, do you know about IMAX movies, Angie?" Cameron asked the same.
"That kind of super-screen movie?" Angela seemed to remember something, but she didn't know it very well. There seemed to be a lot of pictures spinning in her head, but she hid and refused to come out.
"Yes, IMAX movies have been around since the '70s, but they weren't popular in theaters for various reasons—although it worked pretty well. But IMAX movies have been evolving, I remember..." Cameron said, looking towards Lucas.
"Yes, The Old Man and the Sea, which won the Oscar for best short animation in 1999, is an IMAX movie." Lucas nodded, "Although IMAX movies are not developing fast, they are much better than the ups and downs of 3D movies. already."
"Wait, gentlemen, don't discuss technical issues at this time, okay?" Angela raised her hands with a headache, and then asked jokingly: "Don't tell me, you plan to make a 3D IMAX movie, James."
The stunned expression flashed on Cameron's face, and then he said excitedly: "Why not? In fact, I have to do far more than that. If you are interested, you can choose a time to talk about it. ."
Angela pinched her chin and took a good look at Cameron, and nodded solemnly, "I understand."
"Understood?" The four directors looked puzzled.
"When James shaves his chin clean, it's his best time to talk." Angela said solemnly.
Whether it was Spielberg, Lucas or Ridley, they all laughed out loud, but Cameron reluctantly touched his fairly smooth chin: "Well, if you are willing to listen to my plan, promise Shave off every time we meet."
"This condition is worth considering," Angela said jokingly, then looked at Spielberg and Lucas, "Frankly, if you're looking for investment, these two should be more suitable than me, right? ?"
"Actually, I've talked to George and Steven, it's just..." Cameron made a gesture with a little embarrassment, and Angela, who had worked with him, of course understood what that meant, and couldn't help showing surprise Look: "What, do you want to pull in an investment of several hundred million?"
"It's a story about aliens," Cameron touched his nose and changed the subject, "although the general idea was made a few years ago, but I think maybe after watching George's "Star Wars" such an idea…”
alien? Is it! Angela's eyes lit up suddenly. She finally remembered which movie Cameron might be running for, after all, his works can be counted on two hands.
If it's that movie, it's definitely worth the investment. Although Angela made such a judgment in her heart, the current funds in her hands are not very abundant. The plan made by the financial advisors in March last year is now in progress.
It's a bit too long, at least it won't pay off until 7 or 8 years later. The girl thought silently, she is not short of money now, and if the acquisition of the stocks of those IT companies goes well, there will be tens of billions in less than two years; she is also not short of fame, since she was 18 years old, nominated for the best director of the Oscar three times in a row is enough. People were amazed. But everything she does is for her own plan, and this plan cannot be delayed for 7 or 8 years, so it is not necessary to invest in this film and related technologies.
Forget it, let’s talk about it with James first. If you don’t invest yourself, you can let others invest. Like, in the name of Pixar? By the way, maybe... Angela had an interesting idea.
"Okay, James, let's make an appointment next time to have a good talk." The girl interrupted the other party's long speech. This guy kept talking about the advantages and disadvantages of IMAX cameras and 3D cameras. If you continue, you can write a paper. .
"Really?" Cameron was instantly happy, "Great, I knew you and I were the same type of person!"
The same kind of people? who? mad Men? Angela curled her lips covertly. But in a sense, it seems to be right... She stopped her thoughts and threw a long-planned topic: "But there may be some additional conditions."
"Additional conditions?" Cameron raised his eyebrows.
"How about directing a movie?" Angela said with a smile, "Funding and studio rights are all right."
"Oh? What movie can make Miss Genius so generous?" Cameron asked curiously.
Angela shrugged, spread her hands and said her name: "Transformers!"
"It seems that Miss Tianxia is finally going to put her favorite on the big screen." Lucas said jokingly after a brief surprise, and followed Ridley to laugh: "Angela is probably for this movie. Have you been preparing for a long time?"
Spielberg complained a little: "DreamWorks originally wanted to get the rights to the live-action film adaptation of "Transformers", but Angela was preempted."
And Cameron frowned uncertainly and asked, "A live-action "Transformers" movie?"
"Of course," Angela showed an expression of "is there anything else", "or do you think I want to invite you to direct animation?"
"You haven't thought about it..." Cameron thought for a while, "Are you directing yourself? Everyone knows it's your favorite!"
"Come on, James, I'm afraid I can't even match Michael Bay's grasp of this kind of scene, and besides, I have a lot of my own arrangements," Angela waved, "I can somewhat guess what you are hesitating about, But don't you think it is necessary to fully demonstrate the current top CG technology before 3D technology fully enters people's attention?"
Cameron pondered, but Angela knew that he must be a little moved, so he quickly struck while the iron was hot: "Think about how amazing you were when you launched "Terminator 2" in 1992, even if the CG technology is now mature, it can be Let people see how amazing the same technology can be in the hands of James Cameron."
"You know me very well, Miss Genius." Cameron smacked his lips. "I think we'd better spend another time talking about this in detail as well?"
"As you wish." Angela smiled and nodded, looking at the other big directors: "Then, I won't disturb you."
What a depressing birthday party, even I started talking about things not related to 21 and birthdays. After leaving several directors, Angela said something in her heart. Of course, this is just a thought, the party has become a party anyway - no wonder grandpa chose another villa here to hold it. By the way, after buying your own villa, you must build a private 3DIMAX theater in the manor, and it will definitely look very comfortable by then.
Angela, who had countless thoughts in her head, finally returned to her territory. Just like the previous birthday parties, the villa was divided into several areas, but this time there were more characters from Wall Street. Of course, they are not so clear-cut. The president of the film company will go over to chat pleasantly with the head of the investment company, and the fathers will also come to see their daughters, such as Donald Trump.
"Your father is a funny guy, Ini." Angela winked at Ivanka as she said that.
"He's always like this, I'm used to it." Ivanka looked at her father who was chatting with Naomi not far away and shrugged.
"What are you used to?" A voice interjected, and Paris followed.
Although the faint reserved smile on her face was not as cold as before, the look in Angela's eyes was still a thousand miles away, and Nikki would follow her wherever she went.
"Hi Pari, we're discussing Mr. Donald." Angela greeted with a smile. Because the Hiltons were also invited, she also sent invitations to the two sisters, but she didn't expect them to come.
"I see—sorry, Angela, can I talk to Ini alone?" Paris then looked at Ivanka.
"Well... Of course there's no problem." Angela shrugged.
Ivanka couldn't help but gave the girl an apologetic look, and she saw the change between Angela and Paris from being friendly to not dealing with Ivanka, but it was really hard to say that both of them were her friends. . Angela returned a knowing wry smile, and the thought of a prank suddenly came up when she was about to turn away.
"Then, I won't bother you," the girl said, looking at Nicky beside Paris, "Then, I'll take Nicky to visit somewhere else."
"Is it alright?" Nikki suddenly looked surprised, but after seeing her sister's cold face, she stuck out her tongue: "I think... let's forget it."
Angela, who also noticed Paris' expression, was a little surprised, and was about to say something to ease the atmosphere, but Paris' face changed and said in a very gentle tone: "Okay, be careful."
Then she stared at Angela with a warning look, and pulled Ivanka to go elsewhere.
"Your sister... seems to be very strict with you." Angela couldn't help asking after walking a distance from Nikki.
"How come, Pari loves me, and I love Pari." Nikki shrugged.
Angela wanted to ask how the family would react if they found out about the relationship between you, but in the end she gave up on breaking through the window paper and just smiled: "Your relationship is so good."
"Of course, we have each other." Nicky smiled, his face filled with happiness, which made Angela slightly jealous for a while. Nicky, however, realized that he had gone too far, and quickly changed the subject: "To be honest, Pari can be tough sometimes—don't tell her I said that."
Angela couldn't help but burst into laughter, patted Nikki on the arm and led her elsewhere. This is just a small episode at a party or talking about her territory, and there are more and bigger problems that give her headaches, such as—
"You didn't say much while I was away, did you?" Angela asked nervously after pulling Liv to the corner.
"Of course not. Since I promised not to talk nonsense, I would naturally do it!" Liv's face was filled with grievance and dissatisfaction.
"Okay okay, if you feel hurt, can I apologize?" Angela coaxed nicely.
"Don't worry, even if I want to talk about it, I will find another place to talk to Jessica alone." Liv hugged her shoulders and pursed her mouth and snorted. When she was 3 years older than Angela, once she became a child, she would talk to Angela. Pull indistinguishable.
"Speaking alone?" Angela raised her mind just as she put down her heart, "Can't you wait any longer, Liv?"
"Hey, I didn't say I'm looking for her now, and—" Liv leaned forward with her hands on her hips and leaned forward in front of Angie with the corners of her mouth slightly raised, "If I don't talk to her, how can I snatch you from her? "
Looking at Liv's azure blue eyes that were half-smiling, a strange feeling suddenly filled Angela's heart. Fortunately, she restrained her immediately and quickly shook her head: "No, Liv, you don't understand, what I mean..."
After hesitating for a while, Angela suddenly sighed: "Well, Liv, don't talk to Jesse for now, okay? I'll confess everything to you in a month at most, not two months later, okay?"
"Two months? So long? You don't know how much I miss you!" Liv suddenly got a little angry, "Don't think I didn't know you were hiding from me when you came to New York!"
"Okay okay, I was wrong, please, Liv." Angela begged with a bitter face.
Seeing her like this, Liv's heart was obviously softened, and she finally curled her lips: "Okay, but only for two months."
"No problem, just two months." Angela finally breathed a sigh of relief, but as if she was deliberately trying to trick her, Liv's next words startled her again: "Speaking of which, someone was still taking you The gossip is a joke."
"Just kidding about the scandal? Who?" Angela asked hurriedly.
"I can't remember who asked first, but Manny, Lindsay, Kate, Nat, Vivi, Brit, Kristin, etc. all made fun of Jesse about this." Liv thought about it. said.
Then she suddenly laughed: "That guy Lindsay is too daring to say that it's normal for you and Jesse to become a couple. She even argued with Manny about this, you know, Manny Thought it would be more appropriate for you and Nat to be a couple." Hmm... Looks like I'm going to have to figure out a way to get them both on my side first. "
Angela smiled wryly and groaned in her heart, knowing that she had a plan, why is it better to change every time? Suddenly she wanted to complain about Grandpa's arrangement.
However, the girl quickly came to her senses, thinking that she had exchanged glances with Kate, Natalie, and Jessica several times before when she was greeting and greeting everyone, and it seemed that there was nothing else.
Does that mean things aren't so bad? Angela, who was thinking about it, couldn't help but sigh, but it just sounded like Manny and Lindsay were a little bit tit-for-tat, so how to win over them and let them help out? Lindsay might be coaxing, but Mannica isn't one to give in so easily.
Angela and Liv, who had a headache, returned to the venue again, chatted with a few people, and then came to Jessica.
"I heard Liv say they were embarrassing you before? Are you okay?" Angela asked in a low voice, not getting too close.
"Don't worry, it's alright," Jessica smiled sweetly, "It's just talking anyway."
"Liv also said that Lindsay and Manny were arguing about something." Angela asked with some lack of confidence.
"That's a joke," Jessica said, looking at Angela suddenly, "Do you think so too? Are you going to break up with me and go after Nat?"
"Jesse!" Angela, who was dripping with sweat, forced a calm anger.
Jessica stuck out her tongue, when Kate's voice came: "Hey, what are you talking about?"
"Something, of course." Angela watched Kate bite the word "something" hard. Kate immediately understood, and gave her a meaningful wink with a smile: "Isn't it good that there are two girls competing for you?"
Angela suddenly had the urge to throw a few punches on her head, but before she could take action, Natalie's voice rang again: "Forget it, I don't want to hurt me and Jesse because of this. Feelings."
She slightly tilted the corner of her mouth, with a little pride but not annoying, just looking at Angela's eyes twinkling with light that only each other can understand.
"Okay, then, Jesse, would you like to stay tonight?" Angela rolled her eyes and hummed out of her nose. The more calm she was at this time, the more she had to let go.
"Don't even think about it, Angie." Jessica grimaced at her, laughing with Kate and Natalie.
I have to hurry up, I will take time to pull Lindsay and the others out and test them out later. Angela said so in her heart. Seeing Kate, Jessica, and Natalie joking and laughing together so harmoniously, her heart suddenly filled with hope.
At this time, Liv suddenly rushed over with a group of people: "Hey, she's here."
Following that, Lindsay, Scarlett, Avril, Britney, Christina, and the little troublemaker Lulu, etc. together with Kate and the others surrounded Angela.
"Well... is there something?" Angela glanced at the girls who were laughing constantly, and then handed a goblet to her hand.
"Wish, our Angie, happy birthday." Liv took the lead in raising the cup.
"Happy birthday, Angie!" Everyone raised their cups at the same time.
"Wow, I didn't expect it," Angela quickly raised the goblet in her hand, "Thank you, thank you very much, but unfortunately there are not many people who can accompany me to strip clubs and casinos tomorrow."
The laughter rang out, and Natalie came forward and kissed Angela's left cheek: "Happy birthday, Angie."
Angela looked at Natalie, who was dazzling, for a while, and before she spoke, there was another kiss on the right cheek, and then Jessica's always sweet smile appeared in front of her, followed by Kate and kissed the one on her left. on the cheek.
What's going on here? Angela suddenly felt petrified, but before she could react, everyone rushed over and kissed, and Angela, who couldn't laugh or cry, could only stand in the middle and let them be ravaged.
Yes, ravages, such as Lulu who kissed and bitten, Lindsay and Scarlett who "showed fierce eyes", and Britney and Christina who kissed her mouth provocatively, and so on. And someone kissed it secretly for a second time after one kiss was not enough. In the end, Angela had to scream: "Okay, okay, if you kiss again, the face will be rotten!"
Everyone couldn't help but burst into laughter, and finally Liv knocked on the glass: "Okay, now to... Wait, isn't Angie's glass whisky?"
"It shouldn't be, what's wrong?" I don't know who answered.
"That's good," Liv patted her chest immediately, "you know, if she drinks whiskey, she will ravage you like rubbing clay."
Perhaps because she was a little excited, she then smiled smugly and smugly: "However, if she doesn't drink whisky, then you can ravage her like rubbing clay!"
Angela's face suddenly turned white, if someone who didn't know the inside story would just laugh it off, but in some ears, it means...
