Hollywood Secret Garden

Chapter 705

Yes, Angela is busy with a lot of things again, not to mention that the 8 new songs in 16 concerts are enough for her to think about, not to mention the preparations for the concert and even the low-key field trips in the city study.

to be honest.The new songs in the other 6 concerts are not bad. Whether it is the United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, or Canada, they are mainly in English. As long as Angela is given enough time to come up with 10 high-quality songs, there is no problem.As for France, the same is true. After all, she is relatively proficient in French, at most, her efficiency is a little lower than that of writing English songs.But Japan and China are more difficult, because Angela wants to write lyrics in Japanese and Chinese in the four new songs released at the two concerts in Tokyo and Shanghai.

Japanese is fairly simple, she just needs to compose the music and find some famous Japanese lyricists to help write the lyrics. Anyway, her Japanese is not very good.Besides, Angela didn't plan to work hard on it.Anyway, this is just to appease the Japanese a little bit and explain that the release of new Chinese songs in the upcoming Shanghai concert will be treated equally—after all, it’s better to bury those biases in the heart, and it’s better to wear a fair hat— ——She still remembers some good Japanese songs in her head, so the most troublesome ones are Chinese songs.

It really feels like shooting a rock at your own foot when you say it.Although Angela can also use the same method to compose a good song and invite a certain Lin to write lyrics-of course, she will not deal with the past with melodies that she can remember like Japanese songs. Come out with sincerity.But the question is, who asked her to "create" "The Peacock Flies to the Southeast" and "Peony River" 10 years ago?

Filling in Chinese lyrics is very different from filling in English lyrics. Compared with English lyrics, Chinese lyrics pay more attention to the matching of rhythm, especially the matching of the pronunciation of the words and the music. Simply put, it is catchy to read.It sounds easy but it is very difficult to do, because besides the rhyme there is also the meaning of the lyrics.If it’s just a rap type of rap, it’s fine. If you follow the Chinese style, if you don’t work hard on the rhythm and meaning of the words, the final product will definitely be terrible. The reason why Fang’s lyrics are sought after is because he is good at it, but even In this way, he still cannot be regarded as the top level.

So unless Angela just wants to write an ordinary Chinese song, then she has to work hard and think twice. The only comfort is that she needs to write a song.And the lyrics of another song can invite others.Even if the pressure is not enough, even if it can't reach the level of "Peacock Flies to the Southeast" or "Mudanjiang", at least it can't be too far behind the lyrics of another song, otherwise it will not look good on the surface.

In addition, Angela is also busy with film affairs. Although most of her energy is now on the concert, it does not mean that she can ignore the film department.After all, although she has no position in the film department, she has more power to speak than anyone else. Who makes every high-investment and high-grossing movie be inextricably linked to her?

So even if McKinley's ability is added to Shijila's point, it is not bad. The film department earns much more than it loses in medium-investment movies, but it still needs to ask Angela about certain aspects from time to time. Opinion.For example, so many movies have already been cast and have received a lot of money, so "Iron Man" can be put on the agenda; or since James Cameron ran to work on the new movie, the director of "Transformers 2" It has not been settled.Who is better to take over and so on.

"I still think it would be better to wait until the filming starts next year. Don't worry about the actor, I already have a candidate in my heart." Angela said this about the arrangement of "Iron Man".

She knew that they were a little impatient. After all, the adaptation rights of "Iron Man" had been bought for a long time, and it should be converted into benefits, but the conversion had to maximize the benefits.As for the fee paid to Surprise, to be honest, Angela really wanted to suggest that Ed and the others buy Surprise.Anyway, the current Pixar is not the Pixar of another world. With the release of blockbuster animations and movies, the release of the latest expansion pack of "The Sims 2" and the much-anticipated "World of Warcraft" will be launched at the end of the year. It is estimated that it can be regarded as a big company in Hollywood.

Of course, maybe Angela would propose this, but whether to do it or not and how to do it is Ed's business!

As for the director of "Transformers 2", she has no good idea. The reason why she was able to convince Cameron at the beginning was that she agreed to invest in the other party's new movie and promised not to interfere. Now she can't go back on her word, right?

but this guy put

The first film was really well done, the investment of more than 2 million US dollars was not wasted at all, and the plot is compact and relaxed, which is worthy of being a master of storytelling, but this also created a lot of obstacles for the successor.Come to think of it, how bad it would be if the successor made something that wasn't accepted by audiences who were fed up with the first film.

Angela has also considered Michael Bay, at least this guy can make up for other deficiencies with hot scenes.It's just that Michael Bay is notoriously disliked being a successor, and those who approached him came back to prove it.

There are so few to choose from, and it's just a few people like Gore Verbinski and Sam Raimi.

"My opinion is that Michael Bay is still the No.1 choice. This year's "Escape from Clone Island" made DreamWorks lose the sky. He must be eager to make a comeback, so he might as well make a fuss about it. Sam Raimi It's actually not bad, if there is no conflict with the schedule of "Spider-Man 3", after all, the actor is also a student like Peter Parker... Well, my opinion is just a reference, and the specific things are up to you to decide." This is Angie Pull on "Transformers 3" views.

In addition, there are actually many more, but the less important ones were postponed by Angela under the pretext of being busy with the concert.

However, there is more to be busy than that. Another important thing is... to implement the agreement in Hawaii: arrange the appointment time with everyone reasonably, and try to be as fair, just and open as possible!

Avril Lavigne, Jessica, and Kate are currently living in Los Angeles, so Angela must allocate time well, otherwise, whether it is Avril Lavigne's direct questioning, Kate's hinting reminder, or Jessica's gentle talk, it will make people She suddenly felt a heavy sense of guilt, and then panicked all day long.And when Liv and Scarlett came from New York, she had to readjust to make sure everyone had enough time.Fortunately, Keira was filming "Pride and Prejudice" in London and couldn't come, otherwise I don't know what will happen.Even so, if Angela forgot to answer her email within a certain period of time, a desperate call would come from across the Atlantic immediately.

"I'm at work, not on a date!" Angela complained to Lily more than once in private, but every time she only got ridiculed without sympathy: "There is a proper term for this: Serve it right!"

deserve it?Of course, in fact, Angela thought so in her heart, so she didn't feel tired of spending time with them to coax them, and no matter who she was dating, she was very happy, except...in bed.

Well, sometimes it's good, like falling asleep in a hug when you're tired from chatting; but sometimes...

As said before, some things are becoming reality little by little.Starting from Keira, Avril Lavigne, Scarlett, those people who were at her mercy in the past are now..."turned serfs sing"!

"I'm so happy, you're a hundred times better than what Lindsay said!" Avril pressed Angela, who was squinting and blushing, against the wall of the bath, and fiddled with her earlobe with a small tongue while speaking in an irresistibly excited tone Said.

"You know, Angie, I was very, very much looking forward to this day." Scarlett said excitedly when she pressed Angela, who was powerless to resist, on the long table, and stretched her hand into her cutie.

"I don't want to live this kind of life!" Angela roared so miserable and angry in the bathroom more than once.

It's a pity that these things will not be changed because of her rants. God seems to feel that she owes them too much, so she has to make up for it while giving her a chance.In short, Angela is completely fucked this time, no matter what she does-put on various uniforms as Kate wants, dress Jessica in short skirts and black stockings, act as a mannequin for Liv, and go naked for Avril Lavigne He played the guitar with his body, danced and stripped for Scarlett, and talked about how to please them, all in exchange for violations that could not be resisted again and again.

Jessica was a little better, as gentle as ever, and occasionally let her go, but for the overall situation, it was nothing more than a drop in the bucket, so Angela was too— miserable!

"Huh? What?" Angela, who came back to her senses, looked at everyone in a daze, and the people around couldn't help being speechless for a while.

"Sorry, there are...too many issues to think about recently, so I accidentally lost my mind." Angela reacted immediately, calmed down and explained with gestures with an apologetic smile.

"Then you can definitely push this matter to the back and finish the concert first. You don't need to be in a hurry anyway, right?" said the man sitting fourth to the right of the long table in the conference room.

"Yes, I know, I just want to ask for everyone's opinions and leave some impressions on you. After the concert next year, I can start preparations and filming as soon as possible." Angela shrugged, and then looked at McKinley on the left.

"Well... As I said just now, Miss Angela, I don't have much opinion," McKinley spread out his hands, and Angela couldn't help but rubbed her nose in embarrassment because of her distraction. Fortunately, the other party didn't care. He continued: "It's just that this script seems... different from your previous style."

"Not quite the same?" Angela blinked, "What do you think my style used to be?"

"There will be controversy almost every time." McKinley replied after thinking about it.

"That means this script is too mediocre?" Angela looked at him with interest.

"I can't say that. Some scripts seem mediocre, but the actual filming is amazing. In fact, if you only read the script of "The Pianist", many people would think it mediocre." McKinley simply explained.

"Well, I know what you mean," Angela nodded. "Simply speaking, the plot is a bit clichéd, right? But, McKinley, don't you think it's tiresome to always cause arguments? I'm Just wanted to tell a story, a story between a father and his daughter."

"I understand, Miss Angela, we'll have a record so we can start anytime after the concert," McKinley said.

"Thank you very much. By the way, I already have someone for the role of father. Do you have a candidate for the role of daughter?" Angela who was about to end the meeting suddenly asked again.

The people in the conference room looked at each other. They obviously didn't expect Angela to have such a problem, so they said names that Angela was familiar with:

"Jessica Alba?"

"Scarlett Johansson?.

"Lindsay Lohan?"

……

"Okay, gentlemen," after hearing these names and grinding her teeth in secret, Angela knocked on the table angrily and funny, "Believe me, I know them better than you, so before that I I've thought about it. Frankly speaking, they each have their strengths and weaknesses, and what I need is someone who can fit the role 99% of the time."

Everyone closed their mouths, and McKinley, who had been silent for a while, opened his mouth: "Can I ask you first, who is the person who plays the father?"

"He is not tall, has a bad temper, is good at hiding his emotions, but is full of explosive power - Al Pacino, there is no one more suitable than him." Angela shrugged, "Actually, from the last few paragraphs you It should be seen that the role was tailored to Al's image — the image that was portrayed in the film."

There were low voices of conversation in the meeting room immediately, and after exchanging countless glances to confirm that everyone agreed, McKinley coughed lightly and looked at Angela: "So... have you considered playing this role yourself, Angie? Miss La?"

"Myself?" Angela was stunned for about tens of seconds, then shook her head, "No, no, no, McGinn, I don't think I'm suitable, you know, I never think it's a good thing for a director to also be an actor , it's easy to be distracted. I know there are many examples of those who have succeeded, but special does not mean universal, and I prefer to be a calm bystander."

At this point, she paused, and jokingly said: "And I'm already 25 years old, and I'm going to play a high school student, even if it's an 18-year-old high school student... I'm already 25 years old."

Angela suddenly screamed piercingly: "God! I'm already 25 years old! How could I be 25 years old!"

This sudden high-frequency sound wave made everyone in the conference room have the urge to cover their ears.

"Sure enough, you can't raise your age with women," McKinley shook his head and whispered to the people around him, "especially beautiful women!"
