Hollywood Secret Garden

Chapter 729 Coming Soon

"Oh come on, Dad, do you think the tabloids are more believable than your daughter? Do you really think I'm saying no to my father by making this movie? Or rebelling against my own? Family?" Angela put her hands on the round table in the garden, leaned forward and looked down at her father angrily.

"Who knows?" My father shrugged with a smile. "Besides, the Los Angeles Evening News is not a tabloid."

"But that doesn't mean they can't write scribbles!" Angela waved her arms excitedly, "Reporters know how to write to please readers. The difference between big newspapers and tabloids lies in the degree of exaggeration of things. The former Be more aware of where the line is - I thought you knew that, Dad! I haven't forgotten what the L.A. Evening News did [-] years ago!"

"Miss Angel's Memories of Rebelling against Her Father for the First Time? ", this is the title of a report by the Los Angeles Evening News after Angela's visit on Halloween, it is very large and eye-catching.The article first starts with the revealed plot of the movie, and attaches some details to various things in Angela’s life in detail, and then discusses the several cooperations with Al, such as “The reason why Al was invited Is it true that Pacino played the role of father just because he had worked with him before? You know, that was ten years ago-of course, this must be one of the important factors. But at the same time, is it also implicitly taking this opportunity, How about a catharsis for the father in the movie? After all, in the first three collaborations between Angela and Al, except for "Virtual Idol", Al's father image is the kind of oppressive character, especially "Hide and Seek"!"

Of course, these appendices are all based on speculation, and the author himself said that these are just one-sided remarks for reference only, so it is not easy to find fault with the other party.If it's just like this, it's fine, they arrange whatever they want, as long as they don't insist that this is the truth, Angela will just turn a blind eye and ignore it.But for some reason, this report turned up the fact that she had injected capital into Pixar in the end.

"It is said that in 93, Angela wanted to invest in Pixar because she was optimistic about computer animation, but as her father, Mr. Jared objected. Angela had to look for information in fields that she was not good at in order to persuade My own father. According to people familiar with the matter, Angela would complain a few words every time she talked about this matter."

God knows where these guys got the news, maybe the Pixar staff accidentally slipped it?Anyway, Angela has talked about it in different places and at different times.Well, it is indeed a complaint, but it is mostly a joke, just like a small joke when chatting about the past.But being written in this way by the newspaper and guided by a little vocabulary, people feel as if they were wronged at the beginning. It is no wonder that her father would ask her in a roundabout way: If she rejected the investment at the beginning, what would she do now? Will you fall out with the family?

In fact, this can't be blamed on my father's overthinking, who made Angela refuse to fully reveal the specific content of the new movie.According to the plot known to the public at present, after simplification, the daughter living in a single-parent family grows up gradually, and the father's education method has problems, so many contradictions arise.When the daughter wanted to go to Hollywood to pursue her dream after graduating from high school, the two quarreled again, and finally the daughter slammed the door and left.

"From what has been revealed, Angela's new movie seems to be no different from a traditional youth movie, but as a well-known Hollywood Miss Angel, will she really make a movie like this? Although we have seen some Angela also revealed a lot of details about the photos on the set, but you should take a reserved attitude until the specific content comes out. After all, Angela's record is obvious to all."

This is an article in the "Hollywood Reporter", and everyone can't help but guess what Angela wants to express in this movie. She will definitely not make a simple movie.Although every big-name director will get this kind of treatment-especially those guys who are known for their paradox-but there are obviously many more speculations about this "Father". Who made Angela slap others and get used to it?Although basically the other party came over to endure.

If there are too many guesses, it will inevitably be related to her life. In addition, Angela's experience itself is legendary enough. Many publishers have already wanted to write a biography for her——Vincent Maxim, who became famous because of Angela. The old friend of the father who got the North American publishing rights of "Harry Potter" and seized the opportunity to become a publisher in North America also made indirect remarks on her several times-even there are several so-called unauthorized biographies on the market, I can't blame others for leaning on it.

"Okay, okay, don't get excited, dear, I can read these reports as novels!" Father smiled and spread his hands.

Angela still wanted to emphasize something, but fortunately, her mother came over with her younger siblings at this time, which relieved her father's siege.

"Sister!" Willie ran directly in front of Angela and jumped up, hugging her sister with all fours like a koala.Ike, who was following behind, hesitated, and waited for Willy to come down before stepping forward to hug Angela.

"What's the matter, Ike?" Angela noticed that her brother's expression was different.

"Nothing." Ike shrugged.

"Ike lost the basketball game, and I've been depressed for several days." Willie grimaced beside him.

"I'm not depressed!" Ike retorted immediately, staring at his twin sister condescendingly.

The two children are almost 13 years old. Willie is fine and has maintained an average height of 4 feet 7 inches for this age. Li half of the head.

Willie snorted softly and made a grimace again, but she didn't speak again. The era of bullying Ike casually is gone forever.

"Okay, you two." Angela shook her head amusedly, and then looked at Ike: "It's just a game of basketball, don't worry about it, Ike, your sports have always been great...except for American football .”

"If it wasn't for my mother's permission, even if I don't like it, I can still be a quarterback." Ike suddenly puffed up his chest proudly. He never falls behind in school, he is very good at basketball and baseball, and he has been trained by his mother to be quite graceful, and he has never failed in Kung Fu practice. Angela, the perverted sister.

"Okay, okay, I got it!" Angela patted Ike's shoulder heavily and turned to leave, but Ike stopped her immediately: "Sister!"

"What's wrong?" Angela turned around and looked at him incomprehensibly.

After hesitating for a few seconds, Ike approached her ear worriedly, and asked hesitantly in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "You...are you...do you have something with Dad...anything? ..."

"Ike!" Angela cried in a low voice, dumbfounded, "Why do you have such an idea? Don't you think the things published in those tabloids are the truth? Dad and I...can't you see it?"

"The L.A. Evening News isn't a tabloid," Ike grumbled. "Besides, you don't come here much these days."

They are really father and son, even the tone of voice is exactly the same.Angela rolled her eyes in her heart, but the last sentence was correct. In the past two years, she really rarely went back to her parents' house except for festivals.

"Okay, Ike, I know you're worried about me, trust me, nothing will happen, I love mom and dad, and I love you and Willy too." Angela patted her brother on the shoulder again, then bowed her head in the He kissed lightly on the cheek, "That's it, be happy, if you lose this basketball game, you will win it back in the next game!"

After Angela finished speaking, she turned around and walked towards her parents. The poor brother blushed, and a trace of gloom flashed in his eyes. Finally, he sighed softly and followed.

Family gatherings are as good as ever, even if there are always awkward moments.Needless to say, Wei Li privately expressed that she wanted to learn fashion design, and hoped that her sister could be her model. If it’s just like this, it’s okay, it’s just...

"I don't want to hear any refusal or rejection. Don't forget, my dear sister, you have something in my hands." Willy said triumphantly, smiling like a little devil, Angela could only roll her eyes in response .

Also, Mom asked her why she didn't bring her lover here to the party in private, but, like Willy, her question was too... speechless.

"Anyway, you have seven lovers, so why not take any one? If you want to take two or even...all of them, we...can accept it." That's what my mother said, with a half-smile I can't see what I'm thinking at all.

Angela could only smile nonchalantly, and secretly regretted that she would not have told her father about it if she had known so.

After the family reunion, Angela plunged into the studio again to continue working on a new film.Although she explained the concept of the new movie through various means, such as accepting interviews, appearing on TV shows, and updating blogs.

It's a pity that because many places still need to be kept secret and can't reveal too much, and the public has an extraordinary interest in gossip about the private lives of celebrities—let alone Miss Angel's—so various speculations are still springing up like mushrooms after rain.Especially on the Internet, there is an endless stream. Fortunately, most of the comments are biased towards Angela.

Even so, Angela still didn't think letting go was a good thing, but there was no way to stop it for a while, so she had to speed up the post-production work and edit a trailer early to divert the public's attention.

It's not impossible, and although post-production has only been over a month so far, the progress has been quite rapid.Angela has almost outlined every shot in her mind, and the editing is naturally very smooth, and even the theme song was written in the middle of the editing - it has to be said that inspiration is indeed very important for creation.

However, this song is different from what Angela originally thought. She originally planned to write a theme song related to her father, but after thinking about it, she felt that it seemed a bit unfair.She wrote a song for her mother almost ten years ago. If the same song is added after the movie tells a story about her father, will her mother say that she is partial?

For this reason, Angela had to temporarily put down the idea of ​​composing the theme song.When editing a certain scene, it was necessary to compare the brighter sunlight. Angela, who had been looking at the screen on the way, suddenly came up with inspiration, and then wrote this song called "Sunshine". , the song that conflicts will always pass after mutual understanding.

Walter Biggins, who composed the soundtrack for the film, also drew a lot of inspiration from it and accelerated the speed of composing the soundtrack-Although Angela wanted to score the film herself, her main energy must be spent on editing and quality assurance There is no room for loss, so other soundtrack artists were invited.Fortunately, Walter's soundtrack was inspired by the theme song she wrote, which is very appetizing.

So, at the end of November, around Thanksgiving, the first trailer for Angela's group movie, Father, came out.

"You are my daughter... I hope you will grow up happily, I hope you will not be hurt, and I hope that if one day I have to let go, there will be another pair of hands to protect you..." The opening is a hoarse The male monologue, along with the vicissitudes of life, gradually reveals the picture, because the nostalgic atmosphere deliberately created looks a bit dim and old.

A little girl looked at the shaking camera coldly and awkwardly. Although she didn't look very friendly, her round face and soft and delicate facial features made her look very cute.

"...I did my best, I know I'm not good enough, but I'm always doing my best. Sometimes I'm annoyed, why can't I make you happy? Sometimes I'm angry, why can't you be considerate Me? No matter what, I still try my best to do it, because you are my daughter and I love you..."

With this monologue, and the piano sound that sounds like a finishing touch from time to time, the dim picture is constantly changing. The little girl changed from being indifferent at the beginning to being well-behaved to lively, and then gradually became more and more beautiful in the pursuit of the camera. grew up.Finally, the camera slowly fades out as the husky male monologue ends.

What followed was a series of fast and sharp shots that made people dizzy. The contradictions and conflicts between the daughter and the father were quickly explained from the aspects of friends' conversations, family atmosphere, and neighbors' visits.

"No, Bonnie, you shouldn't be saying that, you don't know what's going on with me."

"I just hope you can respect me a little bit, Chris!"

"Don't let me stay here, here, even the air I breathe makes me feel heavy!"

Of course, there is no shortage of soothing shots, hanging out with friends in the park after the rain, wandering alone on the busy street, excited and carnival after getting good news.Every shot is handled very well, either serene and beautiful or passionate and tense, not to mention the lines that are sometimes bewilderingly detailed.

In the end, following the sentence "You can't control my life", the daughter rushed out of the house, hurriedly stopped a taxi and got in the car to leave. The father who chased him stopped on the side of the street, watching the taxi go away further away.

This is the first trailer of "Father". The public has already made countless speculations about this new movie, and these speculations have become more after the trailer came out.

"Maybe Angela wants to dig deep into the rift between parents and children, but this is likely to become a thankless behavior. If she can take back the sharpness that she showed before, maybe we will see a little bit more. This is a film that is completely different from her previous works. But will she take it back?" A well-known film critic wrote in his column.

"From the information revealed by the lines in the trailer, we can find that the conflict between father and daughter is not as sharp as previously imagined, but it is very awkward if it continues continuously. You may wish to share your views? In addition, I very much Loved the scene where Al and Angela glared at each other, great performances from both." This was a popular thread on a forum.

"The trailer looks good, but we all know that sometimes the best thing to see in a movie is the trailer. I hope Angela will not lose her former vigor and talent." A tabloid that always opposes Angela reports.

Although it caused a lot of repercussions, Angela didn't take it seriously, and rarely answered questions when surrounded by reporters.

She even felt a little proud in her heart: after all, it achieved results.

That's right, after the trailer was broadcast, those who were discussing the relationship between the movie and Angela's family all turned around, and began to guess what kind of story the movie wanted to tell, which naturally put Angela in a good mood.

However, depressing things still happen at any time, such as when my mother brought up the embarrassing topic again during Thanksgiving at home.

"Okay, mom, if I think about it, I will bring someone here." Angela said to her mother half-blaming and half-complaining.

Frankly speaking, it's not that she hasn't thought about bringing someone to her parents' house for Thanksgiving. Although she was isolated a few times before and was tested on Halloween, the overall situation remained the same.But the problem is, the lovers all expressed their refusal at the same time.

"Don't think that you are the only one spending Thanksgiving with your parents." Natalie raised her chin slightly.

"There is very little time to go back in a year, so..." Avril shrugged.

"Anyway, you're not alone." Kate's eyes were meaningful.

Very well, they obviously don't intend to let me go, and I won't be at peace if I don't tease me a little bit in these small places. Do I deserve to be teased like this by them?Well...it should.Angie thought dejectedly, and then became extremely resentful.

Because of Halloween in New York, she proposed that everyone live in Natalie's villa on Long Island out of revenge.She is very familiar with that villa. If everyone lives in it, there will be two people in one bedroom. Now, there will always be people who can't escape from the palm of their hands.

Unfortunately, on the night of arriving at the villa, Natalie suggested that everyone sleep together. They emptied one bedroom, laid a thick carpet on the floor, and then slept on it together—if they didn’t accept it, they could choose other rooms at will , never obstruct.

Angela never thought that the ideal of sleeping together would be realized in such a tragic situation. The delicious "food" was right in front of her eyes, but she could do nothing but straighten her body, even the slightest movement would attract her 7 pairs of sharp eyes, the resentment in this situation can be imagined!
