Hollywood Secret Garden

Chapter 20 Brazen Plagiarism!

The passionate and playful sound of music shoots out from the little girl's fingertips, and Angela's bright smile fluctuates with the rhythm, giving people a feeling of vitality.

"Sononetoldyoulifewasgonnabethisway" When Angela sang the first line, Jessica held up the small wooden beater that she got from somewhere, and knocked four times very interestingly.

"Your job'sa joke. You're broken;

Yourlovelife's D.OA;

It's like you're always stuck in second gear;

Whenithasn "tbeenyourday.yourweekyourmonthorevenyouryear." The little girl continued to sing cheerfully, and then she blinked at Jessica before the exit of the next sentence, and then sang: "but, I" llbethereforyou! "

Jessica, who has been playing the acoustic guitar, immediately smiled and said: "Whentherainstartstopour!"

Before she finished, Angela said again: "I" llbethereforyou! "

Jessica continued: "LikeI"vebeentherebefore! "

When the little girl sang for the third time: "I" llbethereforyou! "

Although Jessica still smiled and said: ""Cause you" rethereformetoo!" But she looked at Angela with emotion in her eyes.

The unpretentious lyrics quickly moved everyone. No matter who has setbacks and failures in life, there will always be help from relatives and friends when you are depressed. The charm of this song lies in the relationship between friends in life. Friendship is sung in an upbeat and playful spirit that one can't help but like.

The name of this song is "I"llBeThereForYou". This is not the famous "I"llBeThereForYou" by the Backstreet Boys, but the theme song of the famous American drama "Friends"!Yes, that’s right, it’s NBC TV that started broadcasting in 94. It aired for 10 seasons and became popular all over the United States. This TV series is not considered a big production, and there are no big scenes. It just writes about 6 good friends in 10 years The bits and pieces of living together may sound plain and boring, but only those who read them will know how interesting, wonderful and attractive the stories inside are. Angela has read them countless times in her previous life, and she is almost I also like the tailor-made theme song very much.

She once really wanted to plagiarize "Friends", but she just threw the idea out after turning around in her head. Unfortunately, if she was more than ten years older, plagiarizing "Friends" would be no problem at all. But, now, absolutely not!Even if she writes "Forrest Gump" now, it is much better than writing "Friends"!

It's very simple, writing "Friends" needs to be based on a deep social experience, to be able to observe and excavate those little humors, and those trivial things in life. Obviously, it is impossible for a little girl who is only 11 years old Have such an experience! "Friends" has a total of 10 seasons, each season has about 23 to 25 episodes, and each episode is about 20 minutes long. If you count 23 episodes per season and 20 minutes per episode, the 10 seasons will total 4600 minutes!To write 4600 years of life, friendship, troubles, laughter, conflicts, love and work of 6 friends in these 10 minutes, I am afraid it is not something a little girl can complete, even in her previous life, the entire "Friends" Scripts are written by many people.

Oh, of course, American TV series never have a complete script, and always listen to the audience's opinions and make various revisions before continuing to shoot after shooting a season or two, but even if the 4600 minutes are reduced by a tenth , 460 minutes, is not comparable to the longest 180-minute movie script. If you really want to write it, maybe the little guy will have to go to the National Academy of Sciences for the rest of his life, so if you want to write a TV script, you have to wait until she is an adult at least.However, just like buying stocks back then, this is only a small part of Angela's unfulfilled plan, so it can be skipped.

At the end of the song, the applause rang out again, and there was even a little whistle mixed in. Angela pulled Jessica and bowed to everyone with open arms like at the end of a stage play, and then returned to the bonfire.

"I finally understand why the crew called you 'surprise'." Meg said with a smile while clapping her palms.

"Yes, very nice music, Angela, how did you write these three different styles of music?" Dennis asked after taking the electric guitar returned by the little girl. "I"llBeThereForYou" has a special feeling.

The little girl glanced around, and Nancy, Charles and others who were sitting in front of the bonfire were all looking at her. She felt a little nervous in her heart, knowing that her performance tonight was a bit out of line. After all, as an 11-year-old girl, she It’s okay to write scripts, but at the same time, she can also write songs, perform and sing by herself, and she can sing so well. She doesn’t mind being called a genius, but if she is so talented that she needs to go to the national scientific report, then forget it Bar.

"I remember—I told Nancy that I used to..." The little guy brought out her ADHD statement again, but her music level is really not bad, so she can also answer the questions that people occasionally ask. The answers were fluent, and when everyone was admiring, there was one person who was deep in thought, that is, George Wells who had returned to the film company the day before, but came here in a hurry today!

This is very strange, isn't it? Although he has the position of production manager, he himself said that he only oversees finances on behalf of Disney. Besides, he is also the head of the editorial team of Touchstone Films. Could it be said that the editorial department of the film company has Leisure to the point of having nothing to do?

of course not!If someone had asked George this way, he would have yelled that there was obviously a reason why he rushed back to the set so quickly, otherwise how could he have just returned to Los Angeles and ran back to Napa Grapes in Northern California before taking a break? garden?

As for the specific reason, do you still remember the animated script of "The Lion King"?When the Disney company got it from the little guy, it had been working on the preparations until a few days later, when it was time to return the manuscript, someone discovered that there was still a stave and a few loose manuscript papers on the last page of the animation script!These manuscript papers were different from the paper of the script, they were obviously inserted. After careful inspection, it was discovered that these were two songs, and the stave was the music score of one of them.

That's right, these are the two theme songs of the original version of "The Lion King", "Endless Life" and "Unlimited Love Tonight". These two songs are basically tailor-made for "The Lion King". The majesty and majesty of "Never Stop" or the tenderness and sweetness of the episode "Love Tonight" in which Simba and Nana meet again are very classic, and it is because of these two songs that Disney is famous in "Forrest Gump". "The True Story" swept the 67th Oscar, and one can imagine what kind of shock will happen to Disney, which has recognized the great value of "The Lion King" after the staff reported the matter to the animation production department.

But for the origin of these two songs, Disney executives have different opinions, although the handwriting is indeed Angela's handwriting, and there are her own comments under the two songs, for example, she wrote this under "Living and Living": It should be When the sun rises and everything begins to recover, it begins with an African-style cry. Life may reincarnate and everything has its ups and downs, but life is endless.If the music and the picture match perfectly, everyone will be able to see a vibrant African savannah. If the main song is sung by a sweet and thick female voice, I believe it will form a strong contrast. Attractive effect.

But most people are skeptical about this, such as Evelyn Kant, director of the original painting department, said: "I absolutely don't believe it, gentlemen, she is just a child, an 11-year-old child who has never been to Africa, The Africa shown on TV is one thing, and the real Africa is another. I don’t know if she has received systematic music training, but she has had relevant systematic training, and she wants to write these two Different styles of music are also very difficult.”

However, in any case, no matter whether it is a work of a little girl or not, since it fits so well with the cartoon, they have to buy it, so in the end, CEO Eisner made the decision to let people go to work with the little girl. Make a polite and decent contact. If the author is her, then buy it first, and if it’s not her, try to find out who the author is. Naturally, George J. Wells was the perfect choice.

At this time, after listening to the three songs of the little girl, George's thoughts had already run away from this task. What he thought of was Hollywood Records, which is another subsidiary of Disney. Established on the 90st, it can be said that it has just started. The little girl's vocal skills may be insufficient, but when she sings, she doesn't feel immature at all, and she seems to be able to handle various styles of songs with ease , otherwise he wouldn’t have made three songs with different styles—obviously, he had no doubts about Angela’s ability to write lyrics and compose—if the record company wanted to gain a foothold in the music industry, signing Angela’s record contract Will be the best option, and anyone with a vision will do so.

It’s no wonder that George’s thinking jumps so much. Just think about who his uncle is and you will know how much pressure he has on him——Frank Wells, the current president and COO of Disney, is the current chairman and CEO Michael · Eisner's good friend!

For George, he absolutely does not want anyone to doubt his ability to work because he has an uncle of the president, so almost no one in Disney knows his relationship with the president, including his good friend Matthew.And at the same time, he also really wants to make a career as soon as possible to prove to everyone that he can do well without his uncle's help, so Eisner repeatedly advised him not to be impatient, and that's why he treated the little girl like this value.
