Chapter 70: I'm going to change it all
Ex's concern about Kate's future touched Lin Mingyang, and he suddenly found himself a little selfish, as a person with reborn memories, he could have changed all that, just as he could have changed the plot of "Terminator 3" to have Kate Beckinsale have a more important role than just a vase in the film.
Because Warner is restarting the filming of the sequel to "Terminator" for the sake of money, Lin Mingyang has been watching from the sidelines, and he knows what kind of failure will be encountered in a movie made with a plot like this. And he is willing to join, even with a little bit of a excitement mentality. Using the overall failure of the film to set off the success of his own performance, and using the pain of others as a footnote to his own happiness, when did he become so cruel?
At the same time, there is also a voice in his heart that is constantly condemning him, as a loyal fan of the "Terminator" series of films, do you want to watch such a classic decline, and when will your love for movies become so utilitarian?
Faced with inner torture and guilt about this film, Lin Mingyang thought seriously for a night, and then he felt that he should have a serious talk with Jonathan Mosto.
Lin Mingyang thought that he had thought maturely enough, but when he actually put it into practice, he found that the situation was not as simple as he imagined. As the filming deadline approached, the entire crew was running at high speed, and the office building was full of busy people and pieces of paper scattered everywhere. Lin Mingyang waited outside the door of the director's office for an hour, but the assistant still told him that Jonathan Mostow was not available now.
After another hour of waiting, I got the same answer. Lin Mingyang wanted to make an appointment, but the assistant told him that the person who met Jonathan Mosto was scheduled for next week.
"Are you sure it's next week?" The faint anger in Lin Mingyang's eyes made the assistant feel a little uneasy.
"I can talk to Mr. Jonathan, if he's willing to meet you in advance..."
Lin Mingyang sneered, he knew that this was just an excuse from the other party, and if he waited like this, he didn't know that he would not be able to see Jonathan Mostoto until the Year of the Monkey, and the daylilies were already cold at that time.
During the two hours he waited outside the door, the phone in Jonathan Mosto's office kept ringing, because it was a temporarily rented office building, and the telephone line was also temporarily connected, so the wire head interface was outside the door, and the long wait had already exhausted all of Lin Mingyang's surname, he did not pull out the cord this time, but dragged out the telephone line inside, and then directly ripped it off with violence.
Under the assistant's stunned gaze, Lin Mingyang smiled at him indifferently, "I think this way Mr. Jonathan can meet the guest!" β
As soon as he finished speaking, Jonathan Mosto's roar came from the office, "Jerry, take a look at the phone line, damn it's suddenly disconnected, I'm answering an important call!" β
Without waiting for the other party to agree, Lin Mingyang walked straight past the assistant, opened the door of the office and walked in. At first, Jonathan Mosto thought it was his assistant, but he didn't look up, and he was still talking about something related to the phone line.
"Mr. Jonathan!" Lin Mingyang had to raise his voice, and Jonathan Mostow realized that the person who came in didn't seem to be his assistant.
"Felix, why are you here?" Jonathan Mosto's face was full of surprise and looked at Lin Mingyang, who had boldly intruded.
"I've been waiting outside the door for 2 hours!" Lin Mingyang tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart and said in a very calm voice.
"I'm sorry, I've been so busy during this time, you see, different calls come in every day." In front of Lin Mingyang, of course Jonathan Mostoto would not blame him for his rash move, but he transferred all his anger to his incompetent assistant, "Jerry, I'll give you a minute, get the phone line for me right away, otherwise you will fuck me out!" β
The assistant who followed Lin Mingyang into the office looked at his boss innocently, he wanted to say that he couldn't stop Lin Mingyang at all in that situation just now, but he was swept away by Jonathan Mosto's sinister gaze, he was so frightened that he didn't say anything, turned around and ran back to pick up the phone line that was torn off by Lin Mingyang.
To be honest, Jonathan Mosto must have been dissatisfied with Lin Mingyang's actions in his heart, but he couldn't scold Lin Mingyang like he scolded his assistant, so he calmed down calmly, "Okay, you can also see it, I'm very busy now, if you have anything to say, just say it!" β
"I want to talk to you about the script..."As soon as Lin Mingyang opened his mouth, the hapless assistant couldn't wait to rush in. Just now he used his speed to replace a spare telephone line.
"Sir, the phone line has been repaired!"
"Good, get that call back in!" Jonathan Mostow grabbed a pen while picking up the conversation and holding it between his head and shoulders, then sat diagonally on his desk, and then handed Lin Mingyang a look for him to continue.
"I want to talk about the content of that script..."Lin Mingyang's words were interrupted again, because he saw that Jonathan Mostoto had already chatted enthusiastically with the other end of the phone about today's weather, and his attention was not on him at all.
In the next moment, he made a frenzier move than he had just torn the phone cord by, and he pressed Jonathan Mosto's phone directly with his hand. Jonathan Mosto, who was holding the microphone, was about to cut to the chase with the other party, and then he heard a busy beep.
βfelixοΌοΌβ Jonathan Mostoto finally couldn't help but get angry.
Lin Mingyang's fingers were still stubbornly pressed on the hang-up button of the phone, and then he met the other party's fire-breathing gaze without hesitation, and said word by word: "Let those damn phones go to hell!" If you wish you had screwed up the film, I'd be gone right now; If not, then give me half an hour and listen to me! β
"What exactly do you want to do?" Jonathan Mosto threw away the microphone in annoyance, "You've read the script, and now it's about to start filming, and then you come over and tell you that you have an idea for the plot!" β
"The plot of the whole script is inexplicable, if you are really a fan of "Terminator" as you say, you should know that such a plot is a kind of naked betrayal of the first two films! In the first two films, we were inspired by 'the-future-is-not-set,' but this film takes a 180-degree turn: 'maybe-the-future-has-been-written,' and the tone of the film changes to 'never-stop-fighting.'" If you, as a movie fan, can accept this contradictory premise, then I just want to say, **-you! Lin Mingyang pulled his neck and roared out the anger in his heart.
"Sir, do you need me to call a security guard?" The assistant who thought he was smart standing at the door looked at the two red-faced people in the office and whispered a question.
"Get out!" Jonathan Mostow yelled at him, "For half an hour, I didn't see anyone and didn't answer any phone calls!" β
When the assistant was so frightened that he hurriedly closed the door, Jonathan Mosto sat back in his seat like a deflated ball, and he looked at Lin Mingyang, "Are you satisfied now?" Then you'd better give me a reasonable explanation! β
Since the other party has softened, Lin Mingyang does not have to make a tense posture, he quietly returned to his seat, and then began his statement:
"I'm not optimistic about the reason for the current script, I have made it very clear just now, fans will definitely not be able to accept such a change, a movie made according to such a plot is not a tribute to the classics, but an insult to the classics, a kind of naked trampling under the money game!"
Jonathan Mosto didn't speak, although he kept finding all kinds of reasons to convince himself, he admitted that those were just self-comfort, and today he was so troubled by Lin Mingyang that he realized that he had been living in self-comfort.
"I think it's necessary to make some adjustments to the plot, and the current plot is just a lame reason for changing and then making a clumsy parody of the previous work. If your confidence beyond the classics is based on such a plot, then I can tell you very directly that the result is doomed! β
Jonathan Mostoto nodded helplessly and motioned for Lin Mingyang to continue.
"My original idea was that if robots can go back from the future back to the present, why can't humans travel from the present to the future? Based on this assumption, I think the plot should be adjusted, and the robot T-850 does not return to the present to save John Connor before the judgment comes, but instead to convince John Connor to travel to the future to continue his mission. β
"This doesn't seem to have anything to do with the previous plot!" Jonathan Mosto thinks that Lin Mingyang's idea is very creative, but it is somewhat out of reality, this is a sequel movie, and the investors are still counting on making a big fuss about the classic sign, so they will definitely not agree to such a modification, unless Lin Mingyang has a better reason.
"In the previous episode, Skynet was destroyed, and then John Connor lived a normal life, and after his mother died, he met his adoptive parents and then felt the warmth of home under their care. In this episode he is already in college, has a beautiful girlfriend in school, and lives a life that is the envy of most people. β
"But the appearance of T-850 disrupted his beautiful and peaceful life, Skynet has indeed been destroyed, but what they have changed is only the future of this space-time dimension, and the space-time dimension that T-850 comes from, the war between robots and humans still inevitably broke out, as the leader of the human resistance movement, John Connor was assassinated, so the purpose of T-850's return this time is to bring John Connor back to that space-time dimension in the future, so that he can continue to shoulder the ultimate mission of saving mankind."
"The space-time dimension?" Jonathan Mostow heard an unfamiliar concept from Lin Mingyang's mouth.
"In this space we live in, there are different dimensions, and in each dimension there is a same self and a same world, and under normal circumstances, the dimensions are not related to each other. In a future dimension, the Human Resistance has mastered the ability to travel through time and space, but this ability is not a return to the past of their own dimension as they previously thought, but a parallel time travel to another dimension, because the time between the dimensions is different. You can understand that the future is running at the same time as the present in a certain spatial dimension, and the technology of time and space travel is actually just communicating different time and space dimensions, which can well explain why time and space travel back to the past and change history, but it has no impact on the present. β
From Lin Mingyang's explanation, Jonathan Mosto generally understood what he meant. Years of directing experience have made me keenly aware of the value of such a concept for a science fiction movie. This concept of space-time dimension can even be compared with the concept of virtual and reality in "The Matrix", and if it is really put into the movie, the sensation will not necessarily be less than that of "The Matrix".
This thought made Jonathan Mostow sit up straight with excitement, and then Lin Mingyang continued to describe his redesigned plot to him, "The Human Resistance finally discovered the existence of the space-time dimension, unfortunately John Connor was assassinated, in order to continue his unfinished business, John Connor's future girlfriend Kate decided to send T-850 back to this space-time dimension and bring John Connor back to the future of that space-time dimension. β
But John Connor didn't want to continue his mission as a savior, because he thought his mission had already been accomplished in this plane. Helplessly, T-850 can only find his girlfriend, Kate, who sent him in the future space-time dimension. At first, Kate can't accept this seemingly absurd statement, but the appearance of the villain robot T-X, who follows her, shows a cruel sabotage surname, makes Kate decide to help John Connor regain his faith and bravely face his mission. β
"T-X's mission this time is still to kill John Connor and prevent him from returning to the future to continue leading the human resistance. She killed John Connor's adoptive parents and captured Kate, a series of events that made John Connor have to face the reality that he could not escape his mission, so he could only fight bravely. β
In the end, with the help of T-850, he successfully rescued Kate, and then rushed to the time rift located in a volcanic crater together, and naturally had a fierce battle of wits and courage with T-X on the way, and finally T-850 sacrificed himself and died with T-X. With Kate's encouragement, John Connor bravely jumped off the crater to take on the mission of being his own savior in the future dimension of space. β
