Western time, Monday, February 25, 1986, the sixteenth day of the first lunar month. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Location, West Hollywood, Los Angeles, South End of Sunset Boulevard, DreamWorks Corporate Headquarters.

The weather is sunny to cloudy, and the temperature is low, so it is suitable to wear autumn coats.

So when Cameron walked to the front desk, he was indeed wearing a brown leather jacket.

"Hello, Mr. Cameron. ”

As soon as Ai Mei at the front desk saw the arrival, she smiled and said, "Miss Wang has already instructed you to take the elevator directly to the chairman's office on the top floor." ”

Cameron didn't even have time to say a word: "How do you know who I am?"

Emily chuckled: "Miss Wang has already explained, saying that as long as you see a white-haired man in his early thirties, with an unruly face and a handsome appearance, he will neither arrive at the company too early nor be too late, it will definitely be you, Mr. Cameron." ”

"Cut, that girl guessed quite accurately. ”

Cameron smiled and took the elevator to the top floor.

To say that the company's interior decoration is still very good, and the potted plants everywhere are obviously the masterpieces of girls, Cameron strode all the way, and couldn't help but feel a little funny for Lawrence. is the owner of a large company, but the interior layout has to listen to the ideas of his daughter and girlfriends, but he really spoils them.

Then, he directly pushed open the door of the chairman's office.

"Oh, Mr. Cameron!"

The first thing I saw in the room was naturally the well-dressed Lawrence: "Look, Alice, Mr. Cameron has arrived!"

"Well, come over here, James, let's talk straight to it. ”

It was Alice in front of the reception couch, but she knew that she would never have to be polite to this tyrant on the set.

Cameron really laughed, "Okay, let's talk about it, Mr. Lawrence, do you have coffee here?"

Of course, Lawrence couldn't do the coffee himself, and after Cameron poured it himself, he sat down in the reception area with the other two.

Alice said simply: "The copyright of the alien, my Uncle Roger will negotiate with Fawkes, so let's just talk about making a sequel." ”

That's right, after only one face, Cameron went to DreamWorks the next morning to cooperate, of course, for Alice to buy the copyright of the alien and shoot the second sequel!

"I thought about it all night last night. ”

Then he had to find someone to talk to after holding it all night, Cameron couldn't wait to speak: "The sequel must not be the same style as the first one." "Alien" is about the traditional thriller in which monsters kill humans in a limited space like a spaceship. If the sequel is just like "Texas Chainsaw Massacre II", just find a random reason and stuff a group of people and aliens together, it will be garbage!"

Indeed, although that kind of film can guarantee a certain box office, it will definitely not become a film and television classic. ”

Alice is very satisfied to realize that Cameron is on the right track from the start: "The alien genre has a lot of potential, and it would be a waste to let it be reduced to a normal monster movie." ”

After speaking, she took a sip of milk tea, and then said: "After thinking about it all night, should there be more than that, do you have any ideas for the script?"

"First of all, we have to change places, and we must no longer be any more ships. ”

Cameron obviously really had an idea: "Actually, the movie directly gave us a good place, which is the unknown planet where the merchant ship landed." Ridley had thousands of alien eggs there, and it would be a shame not to have a thrilling battle!?"

Good guy, looking at Cameron's excited appearance, Alice is really a little skeptical, isn't this guy really a traverser?

Cameron's production must be a high-quality product, which has been verified by the market, and he wrote and directed "Alien II" back then. As a sequel to the prequel, the biggest difference between the second part is that it completely abandons the essence of the previous work as a horror film, that is, the sneak attack of monsters in a small space, and instead shoots it into an outright action movie.

Didn't the former director Ridley arrange an alien?

Okay, Lao Tzu Cameron has thousands of them!

Didn't you Redley lock the shooting location in a spaceship?

Okay, I'll let the space version of the American GI fight head-on with the alien army on the small planet that your kid prepared for me!

To be reasonable, Cameron is Cameron, and if you don't accept it, this idea is really subversive.

What do you mean?

Think about it, the "Scream" series, the "Death is Coming" series, the "Chainsaw" series, the "Fatal Bend" series, and the "Ghost Street" series are not all horror film series that countless directors shoot step by step according to the rhythm of the first part?

That is, the so-called "Stinky and Long" series is also~

But Cameron's move is tantamount to taking "Alien" out of the "Stinky and Long" series, and then shaping it into a classic. Because it was in this movie that Cameron brought out the concept of "Alien Queen"!

Isn't that amazing?

But the problem is that it's normal to think so, after all, Alice is now asking Cameron to shoot it, and it was a movie he wrote and directed.

But it seems like a day and a night's work, right?

Figured out the most crucial place so quickly!?

"Great idea!"

Alice's joy is really not pretending: "Then since the location is chosen on that asteroid, what about the plot? The protagonist will definitely be Ripley, what reason does she have to go back?"

In the end, the time of day and night is still short, Cameron said calmly: "I'm still making up, do you have any good ideas?"

Alice said without thinking, "The asteroid has become a colony, there are dozens of families living there, and Ripley went back to save them, what is the reason for this?"

As soon as these words came out, Mr. Lawrence, who had been listening, couldn't help but say, "Isn't that planet uninhabited? How can it become a colony in the blink of an eye?"

Cameron just sat back and waited for Alice to give an answer.

"Well...... at the end of "Alien", didn't Ripley fight with the alien who infiltrated the exit pod, so he eliminated it. Then suppose that she accidentally deviated from the course while in a state of hibernation, and as a result, she drifted in the universe for more than 50 years before being discovered?"

With a relaxed face and a devastating remark, Lawrence silently opened his mouth and choked fiercely: "Fifty...... years!?"

Cameron said calmly: "You must have some purpose for setting it like this, right?"

"More than fifty years, just enough for her child to die, we can assume that her child is unmarried or unmarried for the rest of her life precisely because of the disappearance of her mother. Then think about it, when the heroine wakes up, things are wrong, her true love son and daughter have just passed away, and she is alone in a strange world. Then at this moment, I learned that the original planet had become a colony, and there were dozens of families in the ...... And then what?"

Alice focuses on the word "family".

This time, for a long time, the two adults in the room were silent.

"Alas......"

Finally, Lawrence sighed slowly: "Lone hero, Cameron, if you are in the early stage of the movie, describe this plot well, and then echo it back and forth." Then with this alone, the box office of this movie is guaranteed. ”

In this way, most of the filming details of "Alien II" were quickly discussed, and Alice even said the setting of the alien queen, not to mention a large number of quite key plots. As a result, when it was close to lunch, Cameron screamed angrily.

"Are you shooting it or am I!? So many wonderful settings, even the idea of the 'virtual environment system' has been said, you just shoot it yourself! Bastard! You big bastard! How do you let me conceive this!?"

Alice said quite innocently: "I didn't say anything about letting you write the script, I just said let you shoot it." ”

As a result, Cameron suddenly lost his temper.

Yes, Alice has always said that he should shoot it, and she only asked him what he had in mind, but she never said that she would let him write the script by himself......

"Okay......"

He looked deflated: "I have to admit that your idea is really good. Alien Queen...... Honestly, if someone had given me a script, I would have to scoff at it, but now you've told me so much......"

Alice: "How~?"

"It's so enjoyable!"

Cameron said rather cheerfully, "I want to ask, Alice, are you sure you're not coming back from the future!?"

"Hmm...... Actually, I'm pretty sure I am, what do you think?"

"I believe it!"

"Oh yes, then Microsoft stock is going public, can you buy some? Buy some, trust me, you're going to make a lot of money." ”

"Oh, really? Microsoft I know, are you sure its stock is going to make a big profit?"

"I'm from the future=Mah...... Ahem, I've got inside information, you see, James......"

Belch......

Lawrence, who was on the sidelines, said that it seemed that the topic was crooked......

However, the topic did not last long, and the office phone, which had been quiet for a long time, suddenly rang, and Lawrence had to get up to answer it.

"Hello, I'm Roger Lawrence. ”

"Oh, Frey, you're looking for Alice?"

Lawrence smiled and looked at the girl looking up, "Looks like you've made new friends, Alice, and Frey are complaining to me that they forgot to ask for your home phone number yesterday." ”

"What is she looking for me for?"

Alice was a little strange, and took the phone and said, "Hey Frey, is there something wrong with me?"

On the other side of the phone, Frey's voice was visibly nervous: "That...... Alice, are you free this afternoon?"

The girl's gentle voice was like a lark. (To be continued.) )
