Hollywood Secret Garden

Chapter 613 Music Disturbance

English: "Thank you, by the way, a character in the book will be named after you."

Portuguese: "Alternatively, you can name a character in the book after me—or give me 5% of the profits."

English: "Maybe I can give you 5% of the profit."

Portuguese: "What kind of book is that? Hmm... woo, um... haha, um... a romance novel..."

English: "Understood! This is Ben-ha! Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!"

Portuguese: "Ah...thriller...crime? Horror novel..."

English: "Crime! Crime...murder, yes, crime, murder. Crime, murder!"

Portuguese: "Huh, scary? Frightening?"

"Cut!" As Angela's voice sounded, the camera stopped shooting immediately.Frowning, she came to the two actors, walked around and said to Colin: "It was wrong just now. Although I emphasized the need to show the feeling of spiritual connection, it is impossible to be so obvious at the beginning. This requires a process of change. The first two lines of dialogue are the beginning of change, and I hope you can express that gradual feeling."

Listening to Angela's words, Fels nodded after pondering for a moment, saying that he was as reticent as ever.Angela, who was used to it, didn't care about it, and looked at Gemma Cosby.After hearing what the translator said, the other party immediately nodded to Angela to show that they understood.

"Okay, then let's continue." Angela clapped her hands and sat back on the director's chair behind the camera.

The reason why the story of the writer and the housekeeper is wonderful and interesting lies in this scene.The two people who ended up sitting together talking and laughing with their clothes on because they were fishing for manuscripts in the water. Although they didn't understand the language, the words they spoke were very cohesive, which gave them a strange sense of resonance.The ensuing conversation with guesswork, and turning their heads to look at each other when they left to change clothes, but missed each other's eyes, all added a little bit of romantic atmosphere.

Yes, such plots are a bit corny and there are too many coincidences, but what does that matter?Aren't movies or stories driven by various coincidences?Besides, this movie is a fairy tale in a sense.

"A fairy tale about true love." Angela murmured looking at the computer screen and closed the file. Finally, the final story was completed: the gay headmistress finally broke up with her lover under pressure, but attended the school on Christmas Eve. After returning home from the party, I found an unsigned Christmas card. In addition to "Merry Christmas", in the bottom corner of the square side, there was a shallow word "love" drawn out with no idea what it was used for.The headmistress caressed the marks and smiled through her tears. She turned her head and looked out of the window. Those colorful lights kept flickering, and the story ended here.

Under Xia Xia's reminder, Angela finally chose such a blank ending and left it to the audience to imagine.This is neither a tragedy nor a comedy, but also in line with the theme of the story.

"True love is never a fairy tale, it's just that some people can't seize the opportunity and have to watch it slip through their fingertips." The cup was gently placed aside, but the tone was still merciless.

Angela remained silent and did not answer, but Alizee cleared the small table and said, "I really don't know why you conceived such a script and directed such a movie, don't you think it's ironic?"

"Lily!" Angela raised her head abruptly, bit her lips and glared at her.

"What? You want me to shut up and not talk about this?" Alizee didn't care about her eyes at all.

"Yes." Angela said after gritting her teeth, she was already prepared to meet the other party's more violent sarcasm.But Alizee shrugged her shoulders, said "Okay" lightly, then turned and left, leaving Angela to sit there in a daze, and only after a long while did she cover her forehead dejectedly.

The shooting in Portugal is a bit cumbersome. In the manors in the suburbs, the shots are relatively coherent. After entering the city, it is almost like shooting here and there, shooting a little during the day and running around at night.Although this was in the crew's plan and the shooting progress was not delayed, the reporters had a lot of loopholes to take advantage of.

For example, on the night of shooting Christmas Eve, Fels hurried back from England to propose to Gemma. In one scene, Gemma’s father took him to the restaurant where his daughter worked to find someone, and the second daughter followed him while walking. Shouting something like "Father is going to sell my sister to this Englishman", in the end a large group of people followed behind.

Under such circumstances, it is easy for reporters to sneak in and take photos. Fortunately, there are not many paparazzi from the UK, and the local reporters in Portugal are not as professional as their British counterparts, so it is easy to find them out.

It's just that even though these guys were constantly caught and even warned that they would be prosecuted if they continued to do so because the sneaky flashlights ruined the filming, it still couldn't stop these guys from wanting to get close to Angela.

"Very good, the last shot is very good, thank you for your cooperation." Angela applauded as she spoke, and when the translator translated this sentence, the entire restaurant also burst into applause and cheers.

After the girl breathed a sigh of relief and explained a few words to the assistant director, she turned around and found Alizee: "Lily, let the car take me back to the hotel first, it's better to stay bored in the room than to be constantly harassed by these guys. "

"Understood." Alizee nodded and took out the phone to make a call. Since the conversation that day, she hadn't ridiculed Angela's affairs in words, but Angela was not used to it.Why are people always so weird?Angela asked herself this with a wry smile in her heart.

"They are waiting outside. I suggest you go through the side door and let a few assistants cover you." After the call, Alizee said, and after a pause, she reminded: "I suggest you take the Time to check out your blog, I figured - you must have not updated in a while."

"Of course, I've been busy shooting in Spain during this time, how can I take care of it..." Angela, who was flipping through the schedule, looked up and looked at her personal assistant with a questioning look: "What happened?" ?"

Alizee shrugged and said nothing.

It did happen, with massive petitions online and headlines like "We want to hear your voice" filling the forums on her official website and comments on her blog.And what triggered all this was the video of Angela singing "Floorfiller" at the class reunion, which was uploaded to the Internet by someone.

"...we've been waiting, even with little hope; we've been waiting, for that little extravagant hope; we miss your singing at the scene: we miss your dancing at the concert: oh~ it's just that I can't see it anymore , oh~ it’s just that I can’t see it anymore...” A few talented fans also made a song and put it on the Internet, and it was placed next to the video of "Floorfiller", which immediately caused a sensational response.Not only major portal websites began to repost, but many paper media also made relevant reports.

"Angela's fans should be the most pitiful group of fans, but their favorite idols have always ignored them. You know, no singer has ever had such an attitude, even MJ, who is plagued by lawsuits. My fans are responsive. To be honest, it would be better for Ms. Angela to announce her withdrawal from the music industry. This kind of behavior is undoubtedly very shameful." A tabloid fanned the flames with malicious intentions.

Then as the reports fermented, the media on the Atlantic side also began to gather excitement.Although the British side immediately turned their backs because they had just touted Angela's badness, but the reporters on the Portuguese side still tried their best to get some news from Angela's mouth—all for the newspaper's sales.So there was a scene where these guys tried their best to get close to Angela.

"Well, I admit that I did a bad job in this matter, but I definitely didn't want to do it on my own initiative." Faced with the eyes all around her, Angela spread her hands helplessly and said, "I did spend money on movies. Too much work was done because I made a detailed plan for myself and had to complete it. It was my negligence not to take music into account in the plan, but the plan can be modified but never cancelled.”

"So, you already have an idea?" A fancy-dressed old man asked while sitting on a chair with his hands folded and shaking his head.

"Yes, or do you want to hear it, Bill?" Angela raised her eyebrows.

"Well, let's not do it. After all, we are going to shoot an old rock singer recording a new song. I don't want to be stopped dozens of times." Bill shrugged exaggeratedly, and sat next to the microphone amidst the laughter He took a stance.

"Okay, everyone, I've said what I have to say, let's continue filming," Angela smiled and waved her hand, "Bill is already waiting to show his singing voice, let's see the best actor in England Is one of the songs very nice too?"

Now filming is the story of the old rock singer and his fat manager among the four main stories.Although the music problem has not been dealt with, Angela still decided to continue filming as planned after returning to London.As she said just now, her plan can be modified but not interrupted.

It's just that most of the shots can be done in the studio, as long as the paparazzi want to pester her as long as they don't go outside.

Of course, Angela is not indifferent to the demands of fans. As her manager, Sparrow has already released the news immediately, announcing that Angela will still release a new single this year.Although this does not appease the restless fans, it at least shows their attitude that Ms. Angel did not give up on them.

And Angela also immediately posted a new article on her blog, apologizing to the fans generously, and at the same time also wrote what she said to Bill and the others in it, and hoped that everyone can Be considerate of her.

"... I once again admit that this was my negligence and sincerely apologize to everyone, but unfortunately I have to continue with my film plan. Of course, I will definitely make adjustments and find ways to meet everyone's needs this year. It's a promise, it has nothing to do with my many identities, it's just a girl's promise to someone who likes her!"

This blog post was quickly reposted. Although the media or the tabloids still had to say something like "Miss Angel is just perfunctory", "Let's get rid of the singer as soon as possible", most of the fans They all expressed their acceptance of her promise, but at the same time urged Angela to reveal the details of the new song as soon as possible.

"No, no, Jack, it's only three songs at most. If I add more, I might as well just release a new album... Yes, I know, but you also know that I don't have much time to screen or write. Create another , plus "Floorfiller" and a cover of an old song, that's enough... ok, I'll do it as soon as possible, so be it, bye."

After finishing the call, Angela took a long breath and turned off the phone, stretching out her hand to pinch the bridge of her nose.To be honest, sometimes she really wants to quit the singing world, she has almost forgotten the feeling of singing on stage.

Maybe it's because I'm too old and I'm not used to jumping on the stage.Angela thought a little self-deprecatingly.It's a pity that for her plan, she must continue to persevere.

Why the hell can't I finish it next year?Angela tapped her head angrily, and then felt a burst of frustration. The so-called script problem has never been solved. What is missing? !

Forget it, I want to get things done right now, calm down, it will definitely be resolved.Angela took a deep breath.Moreover, even if you want to say goodbye to the music scene.It should also leave in a good manner, instead of letting the media make irresponsible remarks.

At this time, there was a knock on the door, and Alizee's expressionless face appeared at the door: "Anji, everyone is waiting for you."

"Okay, I'll come." Angela cleared the table, then followed Alizee and walked out.

Although there are many scenes of outdated rock stars, the old man Bill played very well, interpreting the feeling of decadence, unwillingness and self-deprecation just right.If he hadn't had to leave midway because he still had a contract for a stage play, Angela would have been able to finish filming the scene of the outdated rock star in early October.

But it doesn't matter, the story of the rock star is the most independent one, so it doesn't matter if we shoot it later.Besides, with old man Bill's acting skills, it should be easy to play this kind of role.

So now we are filming one of the four main stories, the story of the father who lost his wife and his adopted son - the story of the Prime Minister is the most important and the one with the most scenes, so she plans to save it for the last filming - Needless to say, the father is still Yulia Tom Neeson played the role, and after going around the role of the adopted son, Thomas Sangster still fell on the recommendation of Hugh Grant, who had already agreed to play the role of Prime Minister.

"Is everything in place?" Angela asked as she walked.

"Yes," Alizee nodded, and then reminded, "But an unexpected guest came to the set."

"Uninvited guest?" Angela blinked in confusion. Although Lily agreed to put away those sarcastic words without expression, there was still a bit of dissatisfaction in her tone.

When Angela was about to ask in detail, the set had already arrived, and she froze after glancing around. Keira was standing not far away talking to someone.Wearing a black beret hat, a gray jacket and black trousers underneath, a few strands of brown hair hang down from the brim of the hat, and the slightly curved corners of her mouth make her look like a girl next door She was as innocent as she was, and the t-shirt with her belly button slightly exposed inside the jacket made her a little sexy.

Keira immediately found Angela who was staring at her, and turned her head to show a bright smile.That sunny smile made Angela dazed for a while, and the two faces overlapped again in her head.

"What are you in a daze for?!" The familiar voice suddenly rang in her ears, and Angela couldn't help but shuddered, and turned her head to look at the sound, and then she was stunned again.Although the brim of the hat was pulled down very low, Lindsay's playful expression was clearly reflected in her eyelids.

"Lin... Sai, why are you here?" Angela asked in surprise.

"Why can't I be here?" Lindsay spread her hands innocently.

"But... you shouldn't..." Seeing the gazes from around her, Angela didn't know what to say.

"I finished the promotion of my new album and I don't have a movie contract. It's normal to come to London to visit my dad." The girl said seriously, but her gray and green eyes clearly said: You think I came to see you specially of it? !

"Dad?" Angela showed a blank look, but then looked at Liam who was speaking to Thomas in the distance.

"It is said that Disney intends to make a sequel to "Good Girl is a Big Star", and you also said at the beginning that he still has a chance to play my father." Lindsay said with a smile.

"You really never forget..." Angela forced a smile with the corners of her mouth twitching, "Don't worry, I won't forget."

"That's good." Lindsay nodded pretending to be satisfied, and then grabbed Angela who raised her leg and walked towards Keira: "By the way, when are you going to go back to Los Angeles to record?"

"Back to Los Angeles to record?" Angela asked puzzled, who had to stop.

"Of course, unless you plan to record your new song in London, what about Vivi?" Lindsay folded her arms and winked at Angela, "You promised Vivi back then that you would let her try As your producer, you can't miss the appointment because she doesn't have time to come, can you?"

"But..." What Angela wanted to say, she really had plans to record it in London, anyway, according to Sparrow's plan for her...

"Hey hey hey, what was I talking about just now, are you really going to miss the appointment, Angie? When Vivi feels down because of the postponement of the concert, let her go?" Lindsay kept her voice down, but The playful expression became more and more obvious.

"Aren't you..." The girl suddenly glanced at Keira not far away, "Have you been fascinated by something?"

Angela was taken aback, and she suddenly remembered that it seemed Lindsay was talking to Keira before?
