บท 71: Chapter 71: I'm going to change all of this
Ecks' concern about Kate's development prospects touched Lin Ming Yang, and he suddenly realized that he was a bit selfish, speaking as a person with reborn memories, he could have changed all of this, just like he could have changed the plot of Terminator 3 so that Kate Beckinsale would have a more important role, rather than just being a vase in the film.
Because Warner is rebooting the Terminator sequels with money in mind, Lin Ming Yang has been watching with a cold eye, knowing what kind of failure a movie made with the current plot would suffer. And he was willing to join in, even with a bit of a watchful eye. Using the overall failure of the movie to set off the success of his own performance, using the pain of others as a footnote to his own happiness, since when did he become so cruel?
At the same time, there was a voice inside him that constantly condemned him, as a loyal fan of the Terminator series of films, do you want to watch such a classic go down the drain, your love of movies, when did it become so utilitarian?
In the face of inner torture and guilt over this movie, Lin Mingyang seriously thought for a night, and then he felt that he should have a serious talk with Jonathan Mostow.
Lin Ming Yang thought he had thought maturely enough, but when he actually went into practice, he realized that the situation was not as simple as he thought. As the shooting date approached, the entire crew was running at high speed, with busy people and pieces of paper scattered everywhere in the office building. Lin Mingyang waited outside the door of the director's office for a whole hour, but the other party's assistant still told him that Jonathan Mostow was not available at the moment.
After waiting for another hour, he still got the same answer. Lin Mingyang wanted to make an appointment, but the assistant told him that Jonathan Mostow's appointment had been scheduled for next week.
"Are you sure it's next week?" The hidden anger in Lin Ming Yang's eyes made the assistant feel a little uneasy.
"I can talk to Mr. Jonathan, if he's willing to meet with you earlier..."
Lin Ming Yang sneered, he knew that this was just a pretext for the other party, if he waited like this, I don't know how long it would take to meet Jonathan Mostow, by that time the yellow flowers would have gotten cold.
He waited outside the door these two hours, Jonathan Mostow office phone has been ringing non-stop, because it is a temporary rental office building, the phone line is also temporary access, so the line interface is outside the door, the long wait has long been Lin Mingyang all the patience is worn out, he is not unplugged this time, but the inside of the phone line dragged out, and then use violence! directly ripped off.
Under that assistant's dumbfounded gaze, Lin Ming Yang smiled at him indifferently, "I think this will allow Mr. Jonathan to see his guests!"
As soon as his words fell, Jonathan Mostow's growl came from the office, "Jerry, go check the phone line, damn how did it suddenly cut off, I'm taking an important call!"
Not waiting for the other party to agree, Lin Ming Yang crossed straight over that assistant, pulled open the office door and walked in. At first Jonathan Mostow thought it was his own assistant, he didn't look up and cursed under his breath or something related to the phone line.
"Mr. Jonathan!" Lin Mingyang had to raise his voice, and only then did Jonathan Mostow realize that the person who came in didn't seem to be his assistant.
"Felix, why are you here?" Jonathan Mostow was filled with surprise as he looked at Lin Mingyang who had ventured in.
"I've been waiting outside the door for 2 hours!" Lin Ming Yang tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart and said in a very calm voice.
"I'm sorry, I've been too busy during this period of time, you see, there are different calls coming in every day." In front of Lin Ming Yang, Jonathan Mostow certainly wouldn't blame him for his presumptuous behavior, but he transferred all of his anger to his incompetent assistant, "Jerry, I'm going to give you one minute to get the phone line right now, or you're out of here!"
The assistant who walked into the office right after Lin Ming Yang looked at his boss with an innocent face, he wanted to say that he couldn't stop Lin Ming Yang at all in that situation just now, but when he was swept away by Jonathan Mostow's shadowy gaze, he was so scared that he didn't say anything, he turned around and ran back to pick up the phone line that had been ripped off by Lin Ming Yang.
To be honest, Jonathan Mostow definitely had resentment in his heart towards Lin Ming Yang's actions, but he couldn't scold Lin Ming Yang as well as he scolded his assistant, so he calmly composed himself, "Well, as you can see, I'm very busy right now, so if there's anything you have to say, you can just say it!"
"I want to talk to you about the script..." just as Lin Ming Yang opened his mouth, the unlucky assistant rushed in impatiently. Just now, he had used his fastest speed to change a spare phone line.
"Sir, the phone line has been fixed!"
"Very well, reconnect that phone just now!" Jonathan Mostow grabbed a pen while picking up the talking head and holding it between his head and shoulder, then sat down diagonally on his own desk before handing Lin Ming Yang a wink that told him to continue.
"I want to talk about the content of that script..." once again, Lin Ming Yang's words were interrupted as he saw that Jonathan Mostow had already enthusiastically chatted about today's weather with the other end of the phone, his attention not on himself at all.
In the next moment, he did an even crazier move than ripping off the phone line just now, he used his hand to directly press Jonathan Mostow's phone. Jonathan Mostow, who was holding the microphone, was about to cut to the chase with the other party before he heard a beeping busy signal.
"Felix?!" Jonathan Mostow finally couldn't hold back his anger.
Lin Mingyang's finger, still stubbornly pressed on the phone's hang-up button, then he righteously met the other party's fire-breathing gaze and said, word for word, "To hell with all those damn phone calls of yours! If you wish you'd messed up this movie, then I'll disappear right now; if not, then give me half an hour and listen to me seriously!"
"What the hell do you want?" Jonathan Mostow dropped the microphone in exasperation, "You've read the script, and now you're about to start shooting, and then you come running over here and tell me you have an idea for the plot!"
"The whole script is inexplicably articulated, and if you're really as much of a Terminator fan as you claim to be, you should know that a plot like this is an abject betrayal of the first two films! Whereas in the first two films we were always motivated by 'The-future-is-not-set' (the future can change), this movie takes a This movie takes a 180-degree turn: 'Maybe-the-future-has-been-written'. Maybe-the-future-has-been-written', and the tone of the movie changes to 'Never-stop-fighting'. If you, as a movie fan, can accept this inconsistent setting, then I just want to say, Fuck-you!"Lin Mingyang yelled out the anger in his heart as he pulled his neck.
"Sir, do you need me to call security?" The assistant standing at the door who thought he was smart looked at the two people in the office who were arguing with each other and asked in a low voice.
"Get lost!" Jonathan Mostow yelled at him, "I won't see anyone or answer any phone calls for half an hour!"
Only when that assistant was so scared that he was busy closing the door behind him did Jonathan Mostow sit back in his seat like a deflated ball, he looked at Lin Ming Yang, "Are you satisfied now? Then you better give me a reasonable explanation!"
Since the other party had already given in, then Lin Ming Yang didn't have to make a show of saber rattling, he quietly returned to his seat and then began his statement:
"The reason I don't favor this current script, I've already made it very clear just now, the 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, it's rather an insult to the classics, a kind of naked trampling under the operation of the money game!"
Jonathan Mostow didn't say anything, even though he had been finding all sorts of reasons to convince himself, he admitted that those were nothing more than self-congratulation, and today, after being made to feel so bad by Lin Ming Yang, he realized that he had been living in self-congratulation.
"I think it's necessary to make some adjustments to the plot, the current plot is nothing more than changing a lame excuse and then making a poor imitation of the previous work. If your confidence in surpassing the classics is based on such a plot, then I can tell you very directly that the result is doomed to failure!"
Jonathan Mostow nodded helplessly, signaling Lin Ming Yang to continue.
"My initial idea for the revision was that since robots can return to the present from the future, why can't humans travel to the future from the present? Based on this conception, I feel that the plot should be adjusted so that the robot T-850 does not return to the present in order to save John Connor before Judgement Day, instead he has to convince John Connor to travel into the future to continue his mission."
"This doesn't seem to have any connection to the previous episodes!" Jonathan Mostow felt that Lin Ming Yang's vision was a good idea, but it was a bit out of touch with reality, this was a sequel movie, and the investors were counting on making a big deal out of the classic's signature, so they definitely wouldn't agree to such a modification, unless Lin Ming Yang had a better reason.
"In the last episode, Skynet has been destroyed and then John Connor lived a normal life, after his mother died, he met his adoptive parents and then felt the warmth of home under their care. In this episode he has gone to college and has a beautiful girlfriend at school and lives a life that is generally envied."
"But the appearance of the T-850 disrupts his nice 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 the T-850 comes from, the war between robots and humans still inevitably breaks out, and as a human John Connor, the leader of the resistance movement, was assassinated, so the purpose of the T-850 coming back this time is to bring John Connor back to that time dimension in the future, so that he can continue to shoulder the ultimate mission of saving humanity."
"Time-space dimension?" Jonathan Mostow heard an unfamiliar concept from Lin Mingyang's mouth.
"In this space we live in, there are different dimensions, each with an identical self and an identical world, and under normal circumstances there is no interconnection between the dimensions. In one of the future dimensions, the human resistance has mastered the ability to travel through time and space, but this ability is not to go back to the past of their own dimension as they had previously thought, but rather to travel in parallel to another dimension, because the time between the dimensions is different. You can understand it as the future is running in a certain spatial dimension and the present at the same time, and the technology of time travel is actually just communicating different spatial and temporal dimensions, which can well explain why time travel back to the past has changed history but has no effect on the present."
From Lin Mingyang's explanation, Jonathan Mostow largely understood what he meant. Years of directing experience made keenly aware of what kind of value such a concept had for a sci-fi movie. This concept of space-time dimension could even be compared to the concept of virtual and reality in The Matrix, and if it was actually put into a movie, the sensation caused would not necessarily be smaller than that of The Matrix.
This thought made Jonathan Mostow sit up straight in excitement, and then Lin Ming Yang continued to describe his redesigned plot to him, "The Human Resistance Army finally discovers the existence of the space-time dimension, and unfortunately John Connor is assassinated and killed, in order to continue his unfinished business, John -Conner's girlfriend in the future, Kate, decides to send the T-850, back into this time dimension, to bring John Conner back to the future of that time dimension."
"But John Connor doesn't want to continue his mission as a savior, because he thinks his mission has been accomplished in this time dimension. The helpless T-850 had to find his girlfriend, Kate, who had sent him here in that future time dimension. At first Kate can't accept this seeming absurdity either, but the appearance of the villainous robot T-X, who trails off and stops, and who shows brutal destructiveness, makes Kate decide to help John Connor regain his faith and face his mission with courage."
"T-X's mission this time around continues to be to kill John Connor to prevent him from going back to the future and continuing to lead the human resistance movement. She killed John Connor's adoptive parents and captured Kate, this series of changes made John Connor have to face the reality, he can't escape his mission, then he can only fight bravely."
"Finally, with the help of T-850, he successfully rescued Kate, and then together they rushed to the time rift located in a certain crater, on the way, naturally, and came to stop the T-X had a battle of wits and courage of the fierce battle, and finally the T-850 sacrificed himself and T -X. Encouraged by Kate, John Connor bravely jumps off the crater to take on the mission of being his own savior in that future dimension of time and space."
