Hollywood Secret Garden

Chapter 637 How about 2000 million salary?

The reason for saying this is because the latest episode of the Harry Potter series, Order of the Phoenix, was published half a month ago.Of course, as the best friend of the magical mother and producing her own new movie in London, Angela had seen the manuscript a month ago.To put it simply, the contents of the book seem normal to other readers—after all, the main character is Harry Potter—and careful and keen readers may find something strange, but they will never overdo it in the absence of evidence. Guess more, only those who understand will read the things hidden between the lines.

Although Luke's role in the whole book is similar to that of the previous "Goblet of Fire", its importance is only slightly less than that of Snape and Hagrid.It's very simple, first of all, she is not a member of the Order of the Phoenix, and secondly, when Harry asked about Sirius, he coughed dryly and said that she should be credible.

"It should be credible? I can understand that you are skeptical, but there is no evidence?" Harry said.

"No, I mean...she should be trustworthy." Sirius said dryly, "Okay, Harry, that's it. I believe Dumbledore will make the same judgment."

There are quite a few passages like this, such as the one Angela complained about before, the beginning of Sirius and Lux's private conversation at 12 Mowgli Place at Christmas:

"Oh, Lux, Lily's best female friend." Sirius gasped, his thick eyebrows raised high.

"Oh, Sirius, James' best male friend." Lux kept smiling as usual.

The corner of Sirius' mouth couldn't help twitching, his expression became a little weird but he quickly regained his composure.

Of course, it's somewhat obvious in isolation, but Rowling clearly intends to put an aura of mystery on Lux or confuse the reader, making it unclear which side she is on, just like Snape did.For example, he never helped Harry positively, and basically guided the three of them in a way that inspired Hermione, and when Harry set up the DA division, he stood by Umbridge again-Ron did not Instead of teasing her, and Harry had been hesitant, Hermione was adamant that she was helping them.

"She doesn't intend to write this character as a copy of Snape, does she?" Angela was very depressed after finishing the book.

She couldn't help but wonder, because some places were too... For example, when Dumbledore asked Snape to teach Harry Occlumency, the two had a small conflict.

"Why not Miss Luke for the job? I don't think she's as good at fingering as I am, can she, Miss Luke?" Snape asked in his characteristically oily tone, and then showed a Vicious smile: "If you are worried about something, you can put it in the pensieve."

"No one is better at Occlumency than you, Severus," Lux said quietly, "Of course, I understand your mood, you have never changed as before."

Snape's face suddenly turned pale with anger, and for a few minutes Harry thought he would get angry, but he stared at Lux's face and gradually calmed down, and finally pursed his lips and said coldly: " All right!"

Looking at these descriptions, Angela can basically guess who Rowling paired this character with, and she can also imagine how she will execute this character in the last movie, so there is a previous temptation.

"Don't worry, honey, I promise you will be surprised when the time comes." Rowling said so promised.

"Yeah, once you announce it, everyone will be surprised." Angela muttered in an imperceptible voice.

At this time, the filming of the studio not far away had stopped, and Angela immediately turned her attention to it. Only then did she realize that the three protagonists were not on the scene.

"They happened to have a short visit today, so I allowed them to come a few minutes late, anyway, they were shooting the panorama of the auditorium." Director Columbus explained, after more than half a year of vacation, he looked rosy In good spirits.

However, if you think you can persuade him to continue directing, it is definitely impossible. It is really not easy to direct such a film, not to mention that he has directed three consecutive films.In fact, the style of the later novels tends to be dark, and it is not suitable for him to continue.

As soon as Columbus finished speaking, a black commercial vehicle came to the set, and then Daniel, Rupert, and Xia Xia walked down one by one.Angela approached them enthusiastically to say hello, but she was really "thundered" after seeing Xia Xia's attire clearly.The clothes are ok, the hair is ok, but the eye shadow is a bit...

"Which idiot put on this makeup for you?" Angela couldn't help asking, twitching the corners of her mouth.

"The makeup artist of the TV station," Xia Xia looked at her puzzled, "They all said it would make me look more mature and attractive, and Dan and Ruburt also thought it was pretty good."

"Pretty good?" Angela rolled her eyes, then turned to look at Daniel and Rupert next to her: "Do you think Emma looks beautiful like this? Then please tell me what is beautiful?"

"Hmm...it looks very sexy." Rupert said after holding back for a long time.

"I think there is a kind of decadent beauty, that's what eye-smudged clothes are, isn't it?" Daniel said a few more words.

"You little bastards..." Angela shook her head with a sigh, then took Xia Xia's arm and walked to the commercial vehicle that brought them over, and at the same time called to Alizee: "Lily, ask the crew to borrow them." vanity case!"

"What's wrong?" Xia Xia who was stuffed into the car asked a little displeased, "You think I'm so ugly?

"Wait first." Angela made a gesture, drove the driver off, waited for Alizee to bring the makeup box over, closed the car door and opened the makeup boxes layer by layer, explaining while picking out the things to use Get up: "Although the makeup you are wearing now is not harmful to the image, it is not suitable after all. Don't forget that you are only a 13-year-old girl now."

"Can't a 13-year-old girl wear more mature makeup? A little girl will grow up to be a big girl." Xia Xia couldn't help pouting, obviously disagreeing with Angela's remarks.

"It's not impossible, but if you want to put on some mature makeup for a 13-year-old girl, you must be careful." Angela said as she picked up a few tools and turned her body sideways, "Okay, now turn sideways Come and look at me, honey, after I change your makeup, you can judge the pros and cons."

With curiosity, Xia Xia turned around obediently, letting Angela pinch her face.Angela didn't speak any more, she kept changing the tools and meticulously changed the girl's makeup, concentrating on it as if she was embellishing an exquisite work of art.

"You look so serious, and you look like this when you put on makeup for yourself?" Xia Xia suddenly burst out laughing.

"Don't move around, or I'll be irresponsible if you turn into a grimace." Angela stopped waving her hand even though she said softly, and then stared at Xia Xia's little face in silence.

"What's wrong? Did it really turn into flowers?" Xia Xia asked worriedly.

"No, no, it's just that the light is a bit dim, we're like this..." She asked the little girl to change her position and wanted to get on top of her, but thinking about it, it would be troublesome, so she simply sat up straight, "No, like this Come on, ride on me."

"Okay, okay, it's really troublesome." Xia Xia muttered and sat on Angela's lap with her legs spread apart, "Now?"

"Don't move, I'll continue." Angela let the light from the car window shine on the little girl's face and continued to complete the rest of the task. The car suddenly became quiet, only foundation brushes, eyebrow pencils and other utensils would occasionally rustle the sound of.

The two of them were so close that they could almost see the cute soft down on each other's face, and the hot breath from their breath was itching on it.The rays of light in the eyes intertwined and collided, Xia Xia involuntarily closed her eyes, and her breathing became a little short.

"Okay, let's see how it goes now." Angela finally stopped her movements, and calmly looked at Xia Xia who was close at hand with her eyes closed and a shy reddish face on her face.

"Well, are you ready?" Xia Xia opened her eyes, scratched her face with some embarrassment, took the small mirror handed by Angela, and her eyes widened in surprise after only one glance.

"How did you do it?!" Xia Xia looked up several times and asked, Anji looked at her with a half-smile and couldn't help showing an angry look, and suddenly opened her mouth and leaned towards her.He didn't remember anything until he was about to bump into it, so he quickly shut his mouth, and ended up kissing Angela's face firmly with a slap.

"Are you finally willing to express your enthusiasm in a different way?" Angela said jokingly, bending her eyes.

Xia Xia pursed her mouth and let out a heavy snort from her small nose, then looked carefully into the other person's eyes, and after a long while, she suddenly asked softly, "You seem to have changed, Anji?"

"Change? What changes will I have?" Angela frowned immediately.

"I don't know, it's just that your eyes... seem to have lost their vitality..." Xia Xia said carefully.

A trace of complexity flashed in the emerald green eyes, and Angela suddenly leaned in front of the little girl and kissed the corner of her mouth, then smiled: "Don't worry, this kind of thing happens often, and it will get better after a few days of rest."

"Okay," Xia Xia shrugged without thinking too much, and climbed down from her, "Then I'll go out now and surprise them!"

After the re-makeup Xia Xia appeared in front of Daniel, Rupert and the others again, the two brats opened their mouths first.The thinning foundation, black eye shadows that are faintly visible, and red lips with gloss, all of these make Xia Xia show her youthfulness and at the same time reveal a hint of maturity, which is quite attractive.

"I have to admit that Angie is very good at makeup." Rowling said half teasing and half joking.

It's a pity that Xia Xia's beautiful appearance didn't last long, because the movie was going to be filmed soon, so she had to remove her makeup and remake it.The little guy complained quite a bit, saying that he finally became beautiful and couldn't keep it for a while, or that constantly putting on and off make-up would cause great damage to the skin and so on.It wasn't until Angela comforted her with some kind words and promised to teach her well in the past few days.

After resting in London for about two weeks, Angela then went to Florida to visit the crew of "Pirates of the Caribbean" which was filming in the Bahamas.As for how her character in "Harry Potter" will be abused by Rowling... She doesn't bother to care about it anymore, can she still interfere with the other party's creation?As for whether to act in the film or not... we will decide at that time.

The vacation in the Bahamas was also lackluster. Although Keira was very happy with Angela's arrival and liked the style of clothes she chose for herself, she was busy making movies and couldn't play and have sex with her every day.And it’s okay to be on the south coast of Grand Bahama Island. The scenery here is beautiful. Many Americans with private yachts like to vacation here in summer. Angela has been here with her parents before, but Ikzuma at the end of the island chain It was a bit bad when I went to the island.

Ikezumas Island and its surrounding islands are sparsely populated. If it weren't for the arrival of the "Pirates of the Caribbean" crew, some small islands may have never seen traces of people. It is for this reason that The film crew chose here to film the competition for the heart of Davy Jones.It's just that those unknown bugs are really disgusting. If they are accidentally bitten, they will immediately become red and swollen, and rubbing them will not help.

Of course, there are still some interesting things. For example, Bill Nighy, who played the gas rock singer in "True Love Actually", came here again to play the octopus king Davy Jones. This lovely old man would run out every time he was resting The gag is muddled, and Johnny Depp is a pair of live treasures of the crew.

The other thing is to force Kayla to eat. Whenever she pulls the food on the plate into her mouth under Angela's "oppression", she is very cute no matter whether her expression is resentful or pitiful.

"I just want to stay in shape. Obesity is the enemy of every woman!" Keira once tried to persuade Angela.

"The problem is, it looks like your health is your worst enemy right now." Angela added more to her plate as she answered.At this time, Keira could only crawl down her head and eat.

Keira didn't understand why Angela could always eat herself to death. She even felt that she was a bit masochistic, just a doormat—well, there was a sweet doormat in her heart.

It was already the end of July when I returned to Los Angeles again, starting with the inspection of the aircraft. Angela adjusted from the rest—Boeing delivered her private jet half a month ago and recommended an experienced pilot group. When I came back from Florida, I was on this plane for the first time.

On the whole, Angela is still very satisfied. The comfort level of the plane is comparable to that of her father's Sky.It was just that when she named the plane, she was silent for a long time before using the three capital letters NJK as the name of the plane.As for the explanation... there is no explanation, as the boss can do whatever he wants.Of course, these behaviors are all seen by caring people.

"After leaving London, she hid all her thoughts, and she hid them well. Even Keira, who was with her day and night, didn't notice. If I hadn't been observing her all the time, and I had taken precautions in my heart, I wouldn't have Discovered." After returning to Los Angeles, Alizee said this to Anne, and she sighed for the first time.

"Thank you." Annie gently hugged her. "Let's leave it at that for now. After all, there are some things we can only watch...Of course, if I have time, I will have a side-by-side chat with her."

Having said that, for a long time Annie didn't get a chance because Angela was busy again. Since "The Queen" is going to be released at the end of the year, of course we have to hurry up in the later stage. Although this year's time is more abundant than in previous years, we can't relax.In addition, I have to discuss with other screenwriters the concept of the animated version of "The Matrix" that I promised before, and who is better to hand it over to - Pixar's style is obviously not suitable, so Angela finally set her sights on the Japanese In any case, their animation is quite good, and the relationship between Pixar and Ghibli is also good.

At the same time, those paparazzi who are everywhere will pester and ask this and that as long as they seize the opportunity.

The third "Matrix", the new movie "The Queen", the documentary "Born to be Rich" that is being played by HBO, the "Transformers" that is still burning money, etc., I can't wait to reveal all her privacy to the public before.

In addition, there are also big directors who come to her door and invite her to play movie roles.

"It's really disappointing. I thought you came to me to attract investment for a new movie." Angela turned her eyes back from watching the vicious sun outside, threw away the USB flash drive in her hand, and looked at the scene in front of her with a smile. Old man, "Know that investing in your film is basically a sure-fire business."

"If you want to make a steady profit without losing money, your movie is the one." Steven Spielberg raised his eyebrows, "Although the income is not much, the investment is not large, and it has a very good reputation .”

"Okay, let's read your script first, I'll be very embarrassed to be praised like this." Angela shrugged, and inserted the USB drive into the laptop.

Angela was stunned after calling out the document and seeing the title clearly. She shifted her gaze to Spielberg, who made a gesture of please continue.Angela calmed down and read it quickly, then closed the document and pondered for a while before looking at the smiling old man with a half-smile: "Are you going to invite me to play the leading role?"

"Of course," Spielberg spread his hands, "Any questions?"

"You know, although I have made some appearances on the big screen in the past few years, it doesn't mean that I will shift my focus to acting." Angela said leisurely.

"Come on, Angie, how about you set out your own conditions first, and then we can discuss it?" Spielberg said with a smile, "I don't believe you are not tempted."

"That's it..." Angela tapped her fingers on the table, and suddenly showed a narrow smile: "How about the 2000 million salary?"
