Chapter 115 Unexpected

  "Ah, the script has been ready for you, but I don't have it with me right now. How about this? Tomorrow, I'll have someone deliver it to you!" Song Tang is thinking that he can stall for a bit, after all, he had already promised someone else's thing, no matter what the reason or purpose was, since he promised, he should do it, otherwise, it would be dishonest, and besides, the person sitting in front of him is a famous Hollywood actress, Song Tang doesn't want this big-mouthed sister to go around saying that genius Song is a big scammer!

  "That's great, I was just joking and didn't think there really was a script! You're the best, Song!" Julia burst out laughing after hearing that Song Tang had a script in hand.

  "Damn it!" Song Tang really wanted to slap himself in the face now, but it was too late. All he could do was go back and prepare a good script for Julia.

  "Hehe!" After seeing Song Tang fleeing in disarray, Julia couldn't help but burst out laughing, her eyes fixed on Song Tang's back as she lost herself for a moment, then let out a soft sigh. No one knew what was going through Julia's mind right now!

  "Dear, what's wrong, who made you angry again!" Jessica saw Song Tang coming back from outside, with a gloomy face, and couldn't help but ask him in doubt.

  "It's all the script's fault!" Song Tang couldn't help but sigh, then told how he met Julia Roberts at the Oscars and ended up agreeing to write a script for her after she praised him. Song Tang thought it was just a joke, but who knew that today he would run into Julia Roberts again and end in tragedy!

  "Hehe! Haha, you, Tang, you're so adorable!" Jessica couldn't help but cover her mouth and burst out laughing after hearing Song Tang's words.

  "Alright, sweetheart, you're actually making fun of me too!" Song Tang had been with Jessica for a long time and knew what she feared most.

  When Song Tang's hands kept scratching Jessica, Jessica couldn't help but beg for mercy. After a while of wrestling, Song Tang began to think about his script. After all, tomorrow he still had to go with Jessica and other script personnel to film the movie "Sweetheart". The time to write another script was not ample, it seemed like another overtime night, Song Tang thought to himself.

  It turns out that Julia is also a celebrity in Hollywood, and she has made many films, including some good ones. Among them, "Erin Brockovich" won her the Oscar for Best Actress. Unfortunately, Song Tang can't write the script for this film now because it's based on real historical events that haven't happened yet in his memory. In 1993, a chromium pollution incident occurred in Hinkley, California, USA. But now it seems like this hasn't happened yet, which makes Song Tang's plan fall through!

  "The Pelican Brief", after a long time, Song Tang finally confirmed the script. If Song Tang remembers correctly, this thriller and suspense film will also be released later this year, starring Julia Roberts. As for whether there will be a car accident phenomenon after Song Tang takes out the qualified script, Song Tang doesn't care.

  The plot of the movie is not very simple, but it's not complicated either. It mainly tells the story of professional killer Khami who receives a notification to kill Supreme Court Justices Rosenberg and Johnson. Law professor Galahan's girlfriend and student Darby reviews the materials and writes a report on the case, called "The Pelican Report". Black journalist Gray is the last person to see Rosenberg.

  Gray receives a phone call from someone claiming to be "Garcia", saying he knows who killed the two judges. Gray tracks down and takes a photo of this person but can't catch up with him. Walter goes to see the President, thinking Khami is suspicious. The President tells him not to get involved in the case.

  Gray recalls that two years ago, the newspaper reported that the President's main campaign donor was the Marston Group, and there was a close-up photo of the President with Marston. Gray takes Darby to a vacation house in the countryside to study the materials, and finally, someone recognizes "Garcia" as Morgan, who works in the oil department of a law firm.

  Gray and Darby find Morgan's wife, who hands over a tape recorder and a document left by her husband. The document is an oath signed by his company partners to work for Marston for five years and keep it confidential. The tape recorder records Morgan's confession, saying he inadvertently discovered that Marston was going to kill the two judges.

  The "Parallax View" is also an adaptation, in the previous life this film was condensed by Alan J. Pakula from the original work into a movie without losing its political interest conflict essence, the difficulty of which is higher than "The Manchurian Candidate", but the weakness of the movie lies in its logic and rationality, first involving the national leader's honor and disgrace conspiracy, it can actually let the reporter and Julia come and go freely on the streets, rather than being assassinated with the judge, which is an unbelievable stroke. The fact that the financial magnate mastermind reveals the murder plan on a note after the success of the assassination is also a fantasy. If we say that the movie has made mistakes, it is because its ambition is too big, to the point where it cannot be logically self-consistent, but in terms of popular drama entertainment, it still works, of course, what really makes one's eyes light up is Alan J. Pakula's subtle handling of the last two scenes, which is truly a stroke of genius! However, now that Song Tang knows about the mistakes Alan J. Pakula made while filming the movie, he definitely cannot make the same mistakes, so he deletes the unreasonable parts of the script, and after working hard for a long time, Song Tang finally comes up with the script for "The Parallax View".

  Looking at the script in front of him, Song Tang couldn't help but feel a little lucky that this film's script wasn't too much to handle. In fact, Song Tang had his own considerations for choosing this film, although it was given to Julia, it didn't mean he would give her the script and then ignore her. On the contrary, Song Tang thought to himself that he should invest in this film and let another director shoot it, so as not to occupy his company's personnel, and still make money from it. In short, this time Song Tang wanted to be a producer! Moreover, this film was also one of the few films in 1993 that had a decent box office performance, so there was no reason for Song Tang to give up on it.

  The next day, Song Tang, who had completed the script, did not personally deliver it to Julia, but instead handed it over to George and asked him to hurry up. Song Tang didn't want to work hard all night only to give up on this film because of a car accident!

  Today, the movie "Sweetheart" has finally started filming after a series of twists and turns. The script was only finalized at the last minute because of my own negligence. When it came time to start shooting, I realized that there was no male lead actor. With no other choice, Song Tang had to modify the script on the spot. Additionally, the premiere of "Brave Heart" delayed Song Tang for a few more days. Fortunately, filming is finally starting today.

  "Sweetheart, relax, don't be nervous, just follow the script and you'll be fine!" On the set, Song Tang looked at Jessica's tense face and gave her an encouraging glance.

  "Ah!" Jessica took a deep breath after seeing Song Tang's encouraging eyes, her gaze firmly nodded, and then she began to gradually get into the play according to the script of "Sweetheart".

  Strictly speaking, this should be considered Jessica's first film as a heroine. Some of Jessica's acting skills are still a bit awkward, although her acting talent is also good, but compared to that, people see more of her appearance! Flower vase, this is what every Hollywood beauty star will experience, it just depends on whether you have better acting skills to make others forget your appearance!

  In the movie "Honey", the most gorgeous dance is with struggle. This is a youth inspirational film with a clear style. The whole film is filled with Hip-hop song and dance style, bright images, beautiful pictures and strong rhythm. Whether from the plot or the way of expression, this film is different from those simple inspirational movies. The film tells the story of Honey selflessly helping people around her in life, constantly breaking through herself, a simple growth inspirational story. Song and dance, music runs through the whole movie!

  Although the film looks simple, it's still difficult to shoot. Looking at the crew, there are some awkwardness but Jessica is still insisting on performing better. Song Tang doesn't know if it's right to release this film so early, but all he can do to help Jessica is silently encourage her!

  "Cut! Alright everyone, take a temporary break. We'll shoot the next scene later!" Seeing that everyone was sweating profusely, Song Tang timely called for a halt. After all, this spicy dance scene had too many takes and it was exhausting the actors' physical strength. Song Tang could only film a few scenes before stopping to rest, then continue with the next scene.

  "Tang, am I too stupid! Can't even act out such a simple scene!" Jessica couldn't help but complain to herself after seeing Song Tang walk up beside her.

  "How could it be, the first time shooting will definitely be a bit awkward, and it will get better slowly. And you've already made a lot of progress compared to just now! Alright, sweetie, don't have pressure!" Song Tang knew that Jessica was feeling unwell in her heart, he had to explain carefully, hoping that Jessica could open up her mind, but Song Tang really wasn't good at comforting people!

  "Okay"

  "Don't give up, sweetheart. You have to remember that no one is born successful, it's only through continuous effort and struggle that you can achieve success!" Seeing Jessica wanting to say something, Song Tang stretched out his hand to stop her, then gently wiped the sweat from her forehead and said: "Take a break, the next scene will be very tough."

  "Alright!" Jessica didn't say anything more, but in her heart she was secretly thinking that she must make this movie even better!

  Seeing Jessica like this, Song Tang knew that Jessica would definitely not let go for a while, it seemed that he could only help her in the movie.

  The crew soon became busy again, and the next scene was a shot of Hani dancing in the movie. Jessica had been following and learning with Jennifer for a long time, and the moves weren't very difficult, so it wasn't hard for Jessica either.

  What was originally thought to be a simple shot by Song Tang turned out to be full of unexpected surprises. As soon as the camera started rolling, Jessica let out a cry and squatted down on the ground, clutching her ankle. Song Tang's heart skipped a beat at the sight.
