Chapter 347: The Story of Pursuing Self
"Do you know, Kate, my full name is Famke Berman Jensen, in fact, my nickname is Fang Ji, my parents call me that, but Eric keeps calling me Fami, ex For a few days, I couldn't help but help him correct it, and then he said he was right, and he also looked for a lot of reasons, which is really interesting and urgent, hehe."
Catherine Bigelow glanced at the two men, then leaned in front of Famke Janssen: "He's just a little guy who just turned 20. It's inevitable that he will be willful."
"Little bastard is more or less the same," Famke Jansen said in a tone of intimacy unique to couples.
Catherine Bigelow also whispered: "Actually, Jim is the same, both of them are paranoid."
Catherine Bigelow stared back in dissatisfaction: "Today was supposed to be about discussing 'Terror Point', you two are just wasting my time, I didn't say anything, what qualifications do you have to express dissatisfaction? of?"
Eric just looked at his watch. It was already fifteen o'clock, and the Cameron couple came over at nine o'clock. It has been more than an hour now. Cameron also realized this and said reluctantly: " Eric, can you show me the scripts for those disaster movies, and then you can go and discuss with Kate about the movies."
"Of course no problem," Eric opened the safe. He took out the script of several films such as "Tornado" and handed it to Cameron: "I don't plan to direct all of these films myself. You can take a look. If you are interested, you may choose to direct one in person."
Cameron nodded noncommittally. Although he was very interested in the ideas of these films, whether he could cooperate in the end depends on the quality of the script and the conditions set by Eric. Because of the "Piranha 2" incident, Cameron hates others to point fingers at the movies he directed, and Eric is obviously a guy with a strong desire to control, if Eric does not give him enough control. Cameron would not take over the project even if he was interested.
After taking over Eric's script, Cameron couldn't wait to open the top "Tornado" and read it, and quickly entered the plot.
Eric came to the sofa, sat down beside Famke Janssen, and said to Catherine Bigelow on the other side: "Ms. Bigelow, show me the script of 'Shocking Point'."
Catherine Bigelow took out the script of "Point Panic" from the bag she had been carrying, and handed it over, along with a seven- or eight-page supplement: "The above is the script, and the following is me and Jim these days. The budget made is about $20 million.”
The $20 million budget is very conservative for this project. However, Catherine Bigelow's tone was still slightly unconfident.
The few films she directed before were only a small cost of two or three million.
Eric put the budget table aside and directly opened the script and read it.
The male protagonist is a named Johnny. Utah was originally a promising football player. He had to give up this profession because of a knee injury. After graduating from the police academy, he became a detective.
Eric feels that this setting is very interesting, because Katherine Bigelow's favorite actor is Keanu Reeves. In reality, Keanu Reeves was originally a promising hockey player, but also because of a knee injury, and finally turned to an actor.
A group of crazy bank robbers appeared in Los Angeles. They wore masks of the heads of the previous presidents of the United States and robbed more than 20 banks in a row. However, because these people were very restrained, they did not covet the bank's coffers, but only for a short time. In 90 seconds, the cash in the robbed bank counter was swept away and left in a hurry. The method was neat and did not leave too many traces, so it was frequently successful, and there was nothing to do about it.
The young, frivolous and passionate Johnny Utah persuaded his boss, Angelo Pappas, an unhappy old fritter who was always immersed in the glory of the past, and the two embarked on a hunt for these crazy fugitives. journey.
Among the clues accumulated in more than 20 robberies in the past, Angelo Pappas locked the identity of the robbers on a group of surfers. In order to get close to the surfers at La Digo Beach in Los Angeles, Johnny Utah began to learn to surf , and fabricated a bi-parental identity close to the beautiful surf coach Tyler Dickett. While the two fell in love, Johnny met Bowtie, a crazy surfer through Taylor. Johnny soon found Bowtie and his It is very likely that his companions were the bank robbers, and it was finally determined through the whereabouts of Bowtie.
But Bowtie and his partner escape from Johnny and Angelo during another bank robbery, revealing the identity of Agent Johnny.
Because there was not enough evidence left, Johnny could not directly arrest Bowtie and others. After consulting with his companions, Bowtie kidnapped Johnny's girlfriend Taylor, in order to threaten Johnny to do what he said.
Booty took Johnny to the last bank robbery and skydiving together. In the end, the desperate madness factor in Johnny's heart was inspired, and he had a sympathetic resonance with Booty. During the last arrest, Johnny undid the handcuffs on Bowtie's hand and let Bowtie run towards Australia's once-in-a-fifty-year astronomical tide on a surfboard. He himself threw the agent's badge into the into the sea.
Although many points in the script seem far-fetched, overall, this is a story of self-seeking.
Johnny Utah thought that his goal was to become a top-level detective, and he would do whatever it takes to get close to Tyler, for example, to make up the lie of his parents' death without any pressure, but in the end, Johnny found that becoming a The elite is not what he wants. That will only make him a person like his boss, Angelo Pappas. Angelo is an elite. Luo Pappas has studied hundreds of essential oils and even became an expert in this field, but he is still a frustrated person who is difficult to promote. Instead, his younger and mediocre colleagues all ride on his head. . (To be continued...)
