Hollywood Secret Garden

Chapter 635 Premiere Storm

If you were to choose the most anticipated movie sequel of the early 21st century, "The Matrix" must be unshakably at the top of the list.This sci-fi movie launched by Pixar in 98 attracted many fans all over the world as soon as it was released, and won countless praises after taking away 6 million box office.

Many diehard movie fans deconstructed the film over and over again, not only interpreting many things that Angela and Ridley hadn't thought about, but even extracting and analyzing every line.For example, a guy on a certain forum once wrote in his article: "When Trinity rolled down the stairs through the window and pointed the gun at the window, she said to herself getup three times, Another pun—getup means waking up in addition to getting up."

Angela, who accidentally learned about it, was baffled by this for a long time. It turned out that not only many people wake up herself every day, but she also wakes up many people—well, this is a joke, but similar to the way of assigning common words to more The practice of profound meaning abounds in those analytical articles, which is really dumbfounding.

After the second film was released, the fan base was divided into two groups. One group lamented that it was not at the same level as the first film, while the other group cheered that it was much better than the first film-fans are sometimes so funny.Of course, those various analysis articles are still flooding the Internet, about the words of prophets and architects, about the Frenchman and his glamorous wife, about the virtual virtual, it can be said that there is nothing they can’t analyze, even some This guy swears that Angela will play a guest role as a guardian angel, and wearing a Tang suit and a black wig is also a metaphor!

When watching these things, you must not drink or eat, otherwise you may suddenly spit out when you see some part.In short, these people can't wait to dismantle "The Matrix" into quarks or even small units, so that they can better find the truth.

At the beginning, Angela still took time to look at these things, and occasionally answered a few questions on the official website of the "Matrix" movie or her own blog.But it didn't take long for her to give up this approach. Instead of explaining the past and explaining the past, it is better to let them fantasize by themselves. If the words do not conform to their cognition, she still wants to correct her thoughts. This is not asking for trouble. eat?Anyway, Angela thinks that the story is more complete than the original version, and Ridley also understood her meaning well when directing, so she can interpret it however she likes, as long as she guarantees to go to the cinema to contribute to the box office. up.

"Fans will be satisfied with this one. We have put in a lot of work and energy. The box office will at least match the

The second was flat. "Ridley said nagging beside Angela, and then he complained again: "To be honest, I thought you wouldn't attend the premiere. You didn't attend last year—Angie? "

"Oh, sorry, I want to go to something else." Angela smiled apologetically, and shrugged after Ridley showed dissatisfaction: "Okay, I heard what you said just now, you are complaining I didn't participate last year, did I?"

Ridley smiled and shook his head: "How could you change your mind and attend the premiere again this year?"

"What, do you think I didn't attend the premiere last year on purpose, Reilly?" Angela said reproachfully, and then sighed angrily: "It seems that I should stay in London and continue to make new films, at least not Being fouled or something."

"Absolutely impossible," the old man Ridley laughed, "You must know that the film you are directing now is a political film, and the most prone to corruption is the political film-to be honest, how did you think of this subject? Many people They're all curious."

"Are the British curious?" Angela shrugged disapprovingly.

Compared with the British who were furious after learning about the content of the new movie, Americans have always maintained a calm attitude. Although they also respect and love Princess Diana, after all, Britain and the United States are still separated by the Atlantic Ocean.For them, it involves real characters and it's just a movie, so there's no need to make such a fuss at all, so the most discussed movie is that Miss Angel actually started to involve political themes.

From the time she started nominating Best Director until now, each film has a different theme: middle-class anguish, the Holocaust, celebrity biographies, same-sex love, race and communication.Now it's time to make a political movie, almost a Stanley Kubrick.And compared to Kubrick, her movies are easier to understand and have never suffered a loss, nor does she like to control everything like a tyrant on the set like Kubrick.

"So she is still some distance away from the level of a master." Someone concluded in this way.

Well, let’s not talk about the basis and logic of this evaluation. In short, Americans really want to know what kind of political-themed movie Angela will make. Few female directors can handle so many themes with ease. Even fewer make political films.Although everyone knew that Angela couldn't guess with common sense, she still had curiosity.

"Maybe you can consider sci-fi themes for your next movie. You know, no sci-fi movie has ever won an Oscar for best movie." Ridley said half-jokingly.

"Let's talk about it." Angela, who wanted to respond in the same way as a joke, became a little absent-minded again, because in just a few minutes, two familiar figures flashed in the crowd in the distance.

To be honest, Angela doesn't know why she came to "The Matrix"

At the premiere of the third part, when Ed asked on the phone, she originally wanted to decline, but God knows why she said: yes!

Is my head flooded?Why are you here? !Do you still want to... Angela has asked herself this question several times in her heart, but she has never answered it. She seems to be avoiding something.In fact, she had searched for that slender figure more than once, and then lost her courage before going up to talk to her.

Damn, what am I thinking!Angela said annoyed in her heart.She knew that Kate must have noticed her a long time ago. They had made eye contact several times, but Kate turned her head away immediately every time.

Or... because that woman was there?The more Angela thought about it, the more certain she became, and then her eyes fell on another woman with resentment.damn it!Why is Rachel also at the premiere? !

"What's wrong with Angie?" Ridley suddenly rang out with a surprised voice.

Angela shuddered and immediately came back to her senses, and quickly put on a smile: "It's nothing, it's just that my thoughts were suddenly occupied by other things. I'm sorry, Raleigh, sometimes I just get distracted so easily."

Ridley raised his eyebrows and was about to say something.Ed came over at this moment: "Hey, Rayleigh, Angie, we arranged a reception on the upper floor, how about coming over together?"

"Reception?" Angela was slightly surprised, "If I remember correctly, the movie will start showing soon."

"Yes, so it's just a small reception," Ed explained, "There won't be too many people attending."

"I won't participate, I'd better go to the screening hall to enjoy the movie." Ridley declined with a smile.

Angela wanted to refuse at first, but after hesitating for a few seconds, she nodded: "Anyway, movies can be enjoyed at any time."

Even though the reception was small, more than ten people attended. People gathered in twos and threes to talk about the world. The most discussed thing was the announcement of the retirement of Disney CEO Michael Eisner last month.

"He has stayed in that position long enough, he should have retired long ago." Someone said with emotion.

"But isn't it a little early? He's been doing pretty well in that position." Someone wondered.

"I heard that Disney's board of directors unanimously asked him to resign, and it was called retirement for the sake of sounding good." This person is well-informed.

"I've almost talked with the new CEO, Robert Taylorson. I have to admit that you are right. Prompting Disney to change to a new CEO has indeed benefited both parties." In the corner of the hall, Ed Low Gao was talking to Angela, and then he suddenly laughed: "It's a pity that although some people speculate that we and other people have made some actions in it, no one knows how much you have played—I bet that if the news spreads Their jaws will definitely drop if they go out."

"Because that would make me look a bit inhuman?" Angela replied absent-mindedly, her brows still frowning slightly.

"How come, for a genius, no matter what she does is normal, let alone a rare genius." Ed shrugged, and then asked suspiciously: "You seem to have something on your mind? Because the new Movie?"

"Almost." Angela said still absent-mindedly, glanced at the distance, said excuse me, and left.

damn it!What exactly is going on? !Coming to an inconspicuous corner, Angela stared resentfully at the two women who were talking in the crowd.The reason why she agreed to Ed's participation in this reception was because she didn't want to see Kate and Rachel. She had been regretting it since the moment she came to the theater, so she thought that it might be better if they staggered this way.

But what Angela never expected was that Kate and Rachel also came to the reception, and they were still talking together at this moment. Although the atmosphere between them seemed not harmonious, Angela felt like It hurts like being scratched by a cat.

Be calm, you have to be calm, don't forget that you have broken up, and don't forget that it was your behavior that caused the breakup.Angela took a deep breath, but the sudden anger lingering in her heart still persisted, just like in London.It was as if an invisible hand reached into her head, pulling her thoughts and making her lose her usual judgment.

After Angela managed to recover a little bit, she looked in the crowd, and the two of them were no longer in sight.She looked around and found Kate standing in a daze in an empty corner. After hesitating for a while, Angela finally took a step there, even though she was yelling not to go there deep in her heart.

"Kate..." She came to the other party and called in a low voice. Kate, who was wearing a black lace evening dress with thin shoulders and suspenders, was still so beautiful, especially when she was in a trance. People are attracted.

"...Angie?" Kate turned her head as if waking up, glanced at Angela, then turned her head back, and asked in an indifferent tone after a long while: "What's the matter?"

Although Angela gritted her teeth, she still kept her low voice: "Recently...how are you? I heard...Sommers is preparing a new movie and intends to invite you to play the leading role. Did you agree?"

Speaking of which, she was secretly glad that Pixar had not prevented Pixar from investing in Sommers' "Van Helsing" with all the monsters in it - the development of the film department was too smooth, and it should fail once in a while - and now there was an excuse.

As soon as these words were spoken, Kate suddenly turned her head and stared at her fiercely, as if fire was burning in her brown eyes.

"What? Do you have any comments, Miss Angel?" She asked with a sneer. Although there was only a short sentence, the sarcasm in it was extremely obvious.

Seeing it, Angela's face suddenly became a little ugly, her heart seemed to be severely twisted, her clenched hands trembled slightly, and she tried her best to suppress her emotions: "What do you think I should have?" Opinion?"

"For example—how about changing the heroine? Rachel is very good, anyway, she has worked with Sommers before, and she has practiced in "The Mummy 2"!" Kate bit her lip, and an unbearable flash of light flashed in her eyes. pain.

It's a pity that Angela didn't notice that the latter sentence hit her heart hard, and the severe pain quickly spread to her whole body, making it difficult for her to breathe.

"At that time...we hadn't officially confirmed the relationship..." Angela said with difficulty.

"So what happened at your house last year? Oh, yes, you can say we've broken up! And what about the two of them? Oh, you were ready to explain!" Kate continued sarcastically.

"I'm really ready to explain!" Angela gritted her teeth a little out of composure and said, but fortunately she remembered the occasion and kept her volume under control.

"Yes, yes, anyway, you always have your own excuses." Kate said with an exasperated smile, her chest rising and falling, "Enough, I don't want to stay for a moment, don't appear in front of me, Angie, never! "

She suppressed her red eye circles, covered her mouth and took a few deep breaths, turned around and walked out of the hall quickly without looking back.Angela, who also had red eyes, stood there for a long time, trembling.

Rachel smiled wryly and covered her forehead, she felt that she came to participate in "The Matrix"

The premiere of the third part was a complete mistake, why did you accept the invitation in the first place?Because of Kate?

I guess... Rachel shook her head with a sigh.Since that night, her relationship with Kate has completely dropped to a freezing point, and she hardly communicates except for nodding and greeting each other when they meet in social situations.After half a year, it finally picked up. With her unremitting efforts, Kate would at least answer her calls—although she could not say a few words.

Even if you can't go back to the past, at least don't be like this.That's what Rachel thought.But she never thought that that woman would also attend, and she would meet that woman at the premiere.

When she thought of Angela, all the events of that night would come to her mind, and the feeling of humiliation would also come to her heart at the same time.Fortunately, the other party didn't come to tease, tease, or tease, but she didn't dare to have too much contact with Kate because of this.Later, when someone invited her to attend the reception arranged above, seeing Kate went up, she agreed, but she didn't expect Angela to follow her to the reception.Even so, Rachel finally found a chance to chat with Kate, but the ending was completely different from what she had imagined.

I am a fool.Rachel walked into a corner where there was no one around and held her face with a wry smile. She spoke well at first, why did she say that?Because you want to be honest?

She remembered the soul-deep shock in Kate's eyes as she tried to maintain a calm expression.

"You said... when you went to her house one night... she slept with you?" Kate asked her.

"To be precise, it should be..." Rachel wanted to explain, but Kate didn't give her a chance: "Is it or isn't it?!"

"...Yes." Rachel smiled bitterly.

Needless to say about the next thing, Kate broke up with her after a few words of ridicule with gritted teeth. Rachel never thought that Kate would be so sensitive on this issue.

A big mistake.Rachel walked to the edge of the long table dejectedly while muttering, and reached for a long-necked cup filled with amber liquid.Before she could hold the cup, she snatched it with one hand, brought it to her mouth and poured it down.After gulping it down, the other party seemed to feel that it was not enough, and wiped his mouth without image and picked up another cup.

Rachel watched in surprise as Angela drank one cup after another. Although most of the alcohol provided at the reception was very low in alcohol, it was inevitable that she would not get drunk in this way of drinking.

So when Angela put down her wine glass again and looked at Rachel with red eyes, Rachel's heart tightened and her body trembled slightly. Under that aggressive gaze, she seemed to have no clothes on. , she couldn't help biting her lip.

"Are you scared?" Angela laughed, with contempt in her eyes, "You did it, and now you're scared again."

"How dare you...how dare you speak like that!" The sudden sense of shame and humiliation made Rachel grit her teeth, but she obviously misunderstood Angela's meaning.

"Why didn't I dare, did I say something wrong?" Angela sneered, "No matter how you want to change, you are still the same person as me! Do you think you can get rid of that thought in your head as long as you don't admit it? ? Impossible! Don’t you think about hugging left and right? Don’t you think I was talking nonsense that night?!”

Rachel trembled violently, a strange feeling suddenly came to her heart, which made her nervous and at the same time began to burn her nerves.
