The movie script was held in Theron's hand, flipping through the pages. From the first time she saw this script, she was immediately drawn into it. Sitting next to her, Levy didn't interrupt her reading, just watched quietly, admiring her attentive expression.

The movie wasn't for her, but Levy didn't mind her flipping through it. Theron looked at the script, and the surprise in his expression grew. There were so many things in this movie script that she couldn't have imagined. She originally thought that Levy's new script would be a new political film, but who would have thought that Levy's new film and politics would not be next to each other at all?

"This script is really incredible."

Halfway through the page, Theron had already raised her head, and there was obvious surprise and disbelief in her eyes, "Is this really the script you wrote?" Only half a year of scripting? I haven't seen you in the past six months, when did you finish it? ”

This script surprised her incomparably: after watching this movie, it turned out to be a romantic comedy. Moreover, Theron has never seen such a romantic comedy, and even if she saw the script, it was difficult for her to imagine how such a movie should be filmed to be able to shoot those whimsical things.

The name of the movie is Angel Amelie.

The various situations written in the script amazed Theron. Through the previous movie, she already knew that when Levi conceived the script, she could write a small group of things with exquisite structure and good hooks before and after, but this movie has already shown the difference everywhere from the script. Although it is a real-life story, with the wonderful arrangement, this world is completely like a magnificent world of whimsy. Many of the sketches and instructions in the script illustrate a completely different shooting technique from realism, and using such a surreal method to shoot a completely realistic story will find it incredible that whoever sees the script will find it incredible.

Is such a thing actually Levy's work? Although the camera position of his last movie is very strange, the shooting technique is very realistic. Theron looked at such a script, and couldn't imagine that Levy would create such a script in less than half a year.

As for why the script was completed in half a year, the reason is even simpler: Diana died at the end of August, and Levy couldn't have started writing about Diana's death before Diana died.

Levy just smiled at the question, not knowing how to explain it.

Angel Amelie cannot be regarded as Levy's own creation, but to a greater extent, it is still borrowed from the famous French film in Levy's memory. This movie is also one of the classics that Levy has seen, and it is also a movie that he thinks is worth remakeing.

In memory, the film was released in 2001, and its director claimed that he wrote this script for 20 years. However, Levy also remembers very clearly that in this movie, there is a very important plot, that is, Diana crashed into the street. Levi doesn't believe it, the director began to write Diana's street scene before Diana hit the street, Levi has seen that movie, he is more willing to believe that the director has already had an idea for this play, many of the details in the play are the accumulation of his 20 years of life, but the overall plot and other things, more are temporary creations: Levy also knows one thing, that is, the reason why this movie got its name is because during the creation of this movie, it was originally created by Emily Watson as the prototype. also wanted her to star, but then Emily Watson's schedule couldn't be adjusted, so she changed to someone else. Since it is based on an actor who has only become famous in the past few years, how can it be written for twenty years?

It's relatively safe to use this movie as a remake, but there's no need to say it......

"I'm a genius, genius idea, what's impossible?" Levy gently brought over the question of whether he was original or not, and who he was talking about as a genius, "What do you think of the script?" ”

The script of the film, Levy changed a lot of things.

The change in the last movie, he only replaced the German version of the actors, all of them with the American version, and he started to make some changes to some details in the movie. The last movie was revised and the evaluation was good, and in this movie, he revised it even more.

Since it was filmed by Levy, Levi did not use Paris as the background anymore, he changed the location of the story to New York, and changed the details of the story to the story of New York. In the original movie, it showed the style of Paris in the 50s, and the director wanted to shoot the Paris in his heart. Levy's own scripts are more about modern New York – Levy believes that even if the times and places are different, as long as they can grasp the essence of the original essence of the film, the film can be successful.

The film was a huge hit all over the world, and even people who had never been to Paris and didn't know the difference between the 50s and 90s in Paris didn't have any bad reviews for the movie. It's important that the film is the essence.

The part accumulated by the director in the original work is precisely the part that can be completed quickly, and what is more important about this movie is the connotation of the movie.

Of course, since the script should have arrived in New York, the details in the story naturally had to be changed to the story of New York. A lot of things are rewritten. Levy has done a good job in these areas: Mystery now has more than 30 screenwriters, and it is not difficult to find a few people who are familiar with New York to help find and revise the script.

It's just that after the creation of such a movie script has been completed, he also wants to know what others have to say.

"It's bold, but I don't know how it works. Your last movie was still shooting realistic themes, so deep that the heroine committed suicide, and the next movie will go straight into the world of fantasy, isn't it a little too out-of-the-box? Theron questioned.

"The theme is still the same, and I want to try more shooting techniques for this movie, but the theme of the movie hasn't changed much. The difference is that Wiesler's loneliness is saved by Dryman, while Emily is saving herself. ”

This film is very different from Levy's first film, however, there is not much difference in the theme of the film. Levy has always believed that the theme of the film is the soul, and the shooting technique is the coat, as long as the theme remains the same, other places, even if there are some changes, it is not a problem.

Where are political films so good to make? The right subject matter is hard to come across. Isn't even Oliver Stone trying to transform? Now that I have just made a movie, the transformation is easier, and romantic comedies are also common themes, as long as the theme can remain the same, it can be regarded as a good attempt.

Moreover, after the filming of the first film, Levy has also been thinking about shooting some works that require higher skills, greater difficulty, and more directorial level to train himself. Therefore, Levy also chose this one: the filming techniques and stunts required for this movie are much stronger.

Levy didn't fully understand Theron's explanation, and she knew that her worries were unnecessary, and Levy must have thought about it before she was so sure. She flipped through the script again, and she felt a little pity to put it down, "I can't act in this film, it's really not suitable for me." ”

Theron knows that it is difficult for her to appear in such a movie: her appearance can be said to be perfect, but as a model, she is a little cold in temperament, which is completely inconsistent with the heroine Emily in the movie. The heroine in this movie is a naturally optimistic person, to put it mildly, she is a complete female literary youth, the girl in the movie is more frank and natural, happy and worry-free, Theron can't play such a role well.

Theron has such self-knowledge, and Levy has expected it: now she is also learning how to read scripts and how to take on plays, not when she didn't understand anything before. She knows what kind of role she is suitable for and what role she is not suitable for.

Moreover, Levy still didn't say a word: Although the heroine in the eavesdropping storm has a heavy role, she is still the lightest of the three leading actors, although the difficulty of the performance is there, but Levi can still play well as long as he manages it a little.

But Angel Emily is different, the absolute protagonist of this movie is Emily, and it is largely her one-man show. Can Theron play such a role well? Levy is not sure.

"Have you figured out who you're going to star in the movie?" Theron asked, she knew that such movies almost all revolve around an actor, and there are a lot of new ideas and technologies in the movie, no matter who plays the role in such a movie, as long as the movie is successful, this actor will definitely be a super lucky person.

"I haven't thought about it yet, I hope the actor in this play is an actress with good enough acting skills - I say good enough, it has to be very, very good." Levy was also a little distressed, the script was written, but the actors were really not easy to find, "I have now sent the script to the actors' union, I want to see if they can give me any advice." ”

"So, the preparation for the movie is stuck?" Theron asked rhetorically.

"No, I can't say that, I have to do some other preparations in order to shoot this movie, this movie is different from the previous one, the shooting techniques, equipment, and stunts need to be improved a lot, and I need to prepare for these."

"What is there to prepare for these?" Theron was a little puzzled: Isn't it enough to find a specialized company for these things?

"Of course there's something to prepare for – because I'm thinking about whether or not to buy a special effects company."
