Hollywood Secret Garden
Chapter 42 The Godfather Script
"Hi, Chris, you've finally appeared." Brian looked up and saw the little guy, and immediately stood up and laughed, and hugged her up, "Long time no see, you've become much prettier."
"It seems that according to the procedure of surprise, I should be the one who ran over and jumped on you, my dear godfather." Angela said with a smile.
"Well, since I stole your scene, what do you want me to do as compensation?" Brian put her on the ground and pinched her face as usual.
"I can't think of it for the time being, can it be accumulated until the next time?" The little girl blinked.
"Of course—no." Brian laughed and sat back on the sofa, but Jared said calmly while sitting on the single sofa: "It's okay, Chris, dear, I will help you Note down."
"Hey, it really is a father-daughter bond," Brian spread his hands, "It's a good thing Mary isn't here, otherwise..."
Before she could say anything, Elena's voice came over: "Why, is there anything I need?"
"No, no, it's all right, it's all right now." Brian raised his hand and shouted, he had already hit a lot of the combined force of the Mason family's three musketeers before, but he didn't dare to try it again.
At this time, Jennifer came over: "Jedi, Mr. Sparrow is here, just outside."
"Sparrow?" Jared was stunned and looked at Angela. The little girl shrugged, "I asked him to come. Someone from Warner Bros. will come over to talk about the script later."
"Are you writing the script again?" Brian asked with interest.
"Yes, what's wrong?"
"If possible, show me how it goes, maybe I can give you a good opinion." Brian said with a smile.
"Unfortunately, my dear godfather, the script is in the hands of Warner Bros. If you want to read it, you can see it when they come, but it is only a semi-finished product. Are you sure you want to watch it?" Angela wondered why he Some can't wait, but Jared knows it.
"He came here with a certain purpose. As for the purpose, you can figure it out after thinking about it." Dad spread his hands and said.
"Hey, I said Jedi, you can't slander me in front of the children!" Brian raised his hand and said.
"I remember someone said on the phone that they would come to Los Angeles soon. It should have been more than two months ago. Well, more than two months. It's not too long, is it, Bligh?" Jared shrugged.
"I think this is a misunderstanding, Jedi, you know we are very busy sometimes, it doesn't mean that you can leave if you leave. You can say that I don't keep my promise at most, but you can't slander me and say that I have other purposes."
"Did you, Mr. Benjamin, not go to Long Island when you left the Big Apple? Didn't you hear my father preach? Didn't you have anything entrusted to you by him?"
"Hell, why can't I go to Long Island, why can't I go and see old Mr. Clester, does that have anything to do with my purpose?"
Listening to her father and godfather arguing like children, Angela couldn't help shrugging and ignoring them. Anyway, this was not the first time. She really didn't understand how her father and grandpa couldn't get along. From the news, it seems that my father was very rebellious when he was young. After falling out with his grandfather, he finally ran away from home and started his own business. It seems that because of something, he reluctantly reunited. She was very curious about this gossip about her father, but everyone kept silent about it, and the only little news she got was from when she was a baby.
At this moment, Jennifer came over again and said to Elena and the little girl, "People from Warner Company are also here, talking to Sparrow at the door."
Only then did Angela understand why Sparrow hadn't come in for a while, and they met by such a coincidence. Elena nodded, indicating that they could come in, and then stood up: "Okay, here are the guests, what's the problem?" Let's settle it at night, even if you want to have a duel at that time, I have no objection."
Jared and Brian shrugged their shoulders respectively, temporarily stopping their topic. Soon, Sparrow and the two came in one after the other. Glasses, the other is a little fatter, the hair on the forehead is a little thin, they both look about forty years old.
"Nice to meet you, Mr. Mason." The lanky man shook hands with Jared, "I'm Paul Tuckers, the deputy manager of Warner Productions, and this is Bill Carter, the head of our editorial team. "Bill immediately shook hands with Jared, very respectful. Obviously, they did research before coming and knew the little girl's family background.
"Welcome, but since this is about you and my daughter, we won't bother you for now." Jared smiled, and then said to Elena; "Honey, let's go to the garden."
Elena naturally went with her husband, but Brian sat down next to the little girl, intending to watch the excitement. Jared shrugged, ignored him, and walked out with his wife.
Although Paul and Bill didn't know who Brian was, it seemed that Angela had no intention of introducing him, so they had no choice but to ignore it.
The two parties sat down according to the guests and hosts. Jennifer served coffee and tea, asked the guests what they wanted, and then the conversation officially started.
"Miss Mason, we have received your script. To be honest, we like it very much, so we want to buy it." Paul said straight to the point, and at the same time took out a contract that had already been prepared from his briefcase and handed it over.
As a manager, Sparrow took it first, of course, he opened it and browsed it briefly, but found nothing wrong, so he handed it to the little girl, but Angela didn't open it after taking it, she put the contract on the coffee table On the bed, eyes lowered, wondering what he was thinking, after tapping lightly on the armrest of the sofa a few times with his fingers, he raised his head and asked, "Mr. Paul, have you read the whole script?"
"Yes," Paul nodded, "I think it has the shadow of Master Hitchcock's "Rear Window", and at the same time, it is a bit like Mr. Stephen King's "The Shining". Of course, these are all well integrated. Together, this should strictly be the script for a psychological thriller worthy of action, not one of those blood-and-flesh horror flicks."
Angela just nodded lightly, and then said: "However, there are still several problems in this script. It is too blunt in the final link, and although it did a lot of misleading before revealing the truth, it didn't make sense in the end. Completely explain, if these things are not dealt with, the whole film will easily lose its color, does Mr. Carter, as the leader of the editorial team, have any comments?"
"On this point, you can rest assured that we will have a professional team to supplement the details." Bill replied immediately.
"Including the following novels?" Angela asked suddenly.
"Yes, we will invite more professional people to make the adaptation, such as Mr. Robert Liss." Bill answered in one go, and it was too late for Paul to stop, so he had to cough in embarrassment.
Angela shrugged and didn't say anything more. From Paul's first sentence, she knew that these guys didn't believe that she would write the script. After all, the description and handling of the psychological atmosphere in "Hide and Seek" is very good at least in the first half. Yes, and the structure of the whole script was very novel in 91. To be honest, Angela herself didn't think that a little girl who lacked life experience could write such a script. trouble.
She can basically guess what Paul is thinking now. Even if she is indeed the screenwriter of "A Couple Born", in their opinion, it is only because of her family background that Nancy's signature is under her. As for "Hide and Seek", God knows if it was written by someone else, and then asked her to copy it and send it to Warner, otherwise why didn't even write the address and name.
"What Bill said is that Ms. Mason is still in school, and the refinement of the script can be handed over to us. Of course, Ms. Mason is still one of the screenwriters." Paul said at this time, although he also knew that some Disney executives treated the little girl However, he stubbornly believed that it was still Angela's family background that played a role.
"Unfortunately, Mr. Tuckers, I want to withdraw this script now. To be honest, this is an unfinished script. If you really want to buy it, can you please wait until I finish writing it?" Angela said no She said in a calm voice, no matter what, her soul is still a Chinese, and she is still not used to rejecting others directly.
Paul frowned and wanted to say something, but at this moment Brian, who had been sitting with his legs crossed and watching, suddenly said, "Angie, how about entrusting me to operate this script?"
"Give it to you?" Angela looked at him in surprise, "But, godfather, what's the use of taking it?"
"Vincent had a little problem with Aywind Culture Communications, I asked him to resign, but he wanted me to give him another quarter, because he was going to buy a mid-level film company, if Mr. Tuckers gave up this As far as the script is concerned, I think I can give Vincent this chance." Brian shrugged, but his face was full of laughter.
Paul's brows seemed to furrow deeper, but then he recovered and said in a calm tone: "Of course we don't want to give up on this script—then Miss Mason, when can you finish it?"
"I still have to go to school, I think it might be the end of November at the earliest." Angela smiled.
Paul smiled bitterly: "So can we have the right of first refusal?"
The little girl looked at the godfather beside her, and stopped embarrassing him, shrugged: "Of course it's no problem."
"It seems that according to the procedure of surprise, I should be the one who ran over and jumped on you, my dear godfather." Angela said with a smile.
"Well, since I stole your scene, what do you want me to do as compensation?" Brian put her on the ground and pinched her face as usual.
