Hollywood Secret Garden

Chapter 610 High School Reunion

Facts proved that Angela was not worried in vain. A few days later, the entertainment gossip page of "Daily Mirror" published the following headline: Miss Angel specially traveled to London to make a completely British-style love movie.

"We all know how good this girl is. She does things that many people can't do in a lifetime. She creates miracles all the time. Look at the movies she directed and produced, each of which is thought-provoking. It's a pity that Oscar's gang of old men never gave her the credit she deserved.

Now that she's in or back in Great Britain - and we shouldn't forget that she's also a British citizen - she's going to make a new British-style romance movie, which is really surprising and surprising.

According to people familiar with the matter, Angela once said that she wanted to make such a multi-line narrative film that tells the love stories of several people at the same time. Everything in England keeps her inspired.It's just that she had to put it on hold for some reason, and now that she finally has more time, she naturally put the movie on the agenda.We have every reason to believe that this thick British-style love movie will be her best work! "

I have to admit that these tabloids are still full of energy. Although Angela allows people around her to properly disclose some news about the new movie, what she wants is to reveal it bit by bit.Unexpectedly, these paparazzi mobilized their hands, tried their best to use various means to obtain different fragments from different people, and then pieced together such a report.

Angela is very depressed, because although this report is full of a lot of very obvious low-level provocations, it has received a lot of response from the mainstream media. A columnist in the "Times" once wrote: "I am very happy that Miss Angel There's something fascinating about British cinema, too, coming back from Hollywood."

In addition, newspapers such as the "Guardian" or "Daily Telegraph" have published articles with similar content, and the BBC even opened a special topic to discuss what kind of love movie Miss Angel is filming.

In fact, it's normal to think about it. Although Britain and the United States are better than wearing a pair of trousers in some respects, the British still dislike Americans in their bones.The reason is very complicated, at least it goes back to the founding of the United States.In short, this kind of war of words in the media will be fought every now and then.

However, Angela, who rejected the interview invitations from various media and ordered her assistant to find someone to prevent reporters from going to the set to listen to the news, did not have any bad emotions other than depression.

"Anyway, it's like this, and there is also a scene in the script where the British Prime Minister is displeased that the American President is molesting a woman he likes, so he becomes a national hero at the press conference. Instead of spending time explaining it, we should hurry up and shoot. It’s better if it’s over. People only see what they want to see, and it’s not time to give an explanation, isn’t it?” Angela said to Alizee in private——as a personal assistant, basically Lily is where she is.

So Angela is now putting all her energy into filming, and all the British staff in the crew—including Thompson and Rickman and the others—are extremely cooperative. reports have been brainwashed.The girl didn't bother to explain, anyway, it was good for the shooting, besides, she was still worrying about the script.

What she said to Ellen DeGeneres in the "American Idol" finale was not groundless. Angela really wanted to arrange a lesbian story in "True Love Actually."For this reason, she canceled the plot of the man and woman who filtered the light for the A movie. Although it is a bit regretful, it is not a big deal.Besides, she's never made a film with a dewy shot, and this time is no exception.

The lesbian plot Angela has already arranged, cutting through the little boy, and leading out that the headmistress of the school is a gay thing, and the headmistress's female lover is a teacher in the school.It is conceivable how much criticism such a pair of lovers will attract. Although the social environment for homosexuality is constantly improving, if a person in an educational position is exposed as gay, the pressure from the parents alone is enough to make him resign.

So this should be as tragic as the story of giving up love for the mentally ill brother. In fact, when Angela first wrote it, the female headmistress ended by committing suicide. After she finished it, she realized that this ending was not in line with Christmas and the theme of the whole movie. .Faced with this ending that was written without much thought, the girl was in a daze for a while, and then changed to Christmas Eve. Under pressure, the female headmistress had to break up with her girlfriend and attended the Christmas party with a strong face and a smile. After returning home, I thought about all the previous things and wept alone.

However, Angela is still dissatisfied with the ending. After all, the theme of the movie is "True Love Comes First". The sister who gave up her love at least gave her love to her younger brother, and the man who fell in love with his friend's bride got a farewell response from the other party after confessing his love.It can be imagined that if the headmistress ended up like this, it would undoubtedly be equivalent to finding a dead mouse in a pot of delicious soup after drinking it!She herself will also face numerous criticisms and speculations.

It's just that this dissatisfaction is not satisfactory, but Angela has always been a little stubborn and inclined to use this ending.She doesn't know what she's thinking, just like she doesn't understand why she suddenly came to direct the "Love Actually" movie.

"It's a pity that I didn't bring a camera. If Rupert saw Mr. Allen like this, his jaw would drop." Xia Xia sighed and ran to the front, and Angie, who was in deep thought, suddenly came back to his senses.

"You can tell him the truth." The girl rubbed the little guy's head with a smile. Xia Xia became more and more temperamental as she got older. How could it be an exception.

"What do you think is more shocking to tell him with words, or with photos or watching videos?" Xia Xia leaned on the armrest of the chair with one hand resting on her chin, and looked at Angela without blinking.

"When did you become so interested in Rupert?" Angela asked half-jokingly.

"Because he is a little cuter than Dan, but they are both cute." Xia Xia said and waved her hands, "I just don't like to read and study, sometimes I think about the characters of the three of us and the characters in the book Their personalities are too similar."

Speaking of this, she suddenly thought of something and bent her eyes, put her face in her hands and moved in front of Angela, and said in a narrow tone: "Don't worry, I still love you the most, and this won't change with time. .”

As she spoke, she licked the corner of her mouth with her small tongue, showing an eager expression, but after a few seconds, it changed to depression and frustration: "Damn it, time has changed at least one thing."

Angela rolled her eyes with a smile, and immediately reached out and kneaded Xia Xia's face for a while: "Do you only want to bite me all day, Xia Xia?! Be careful that I will lock you up someday and put you in the past ten years." Bite through and bite back!"

"Hey... that... what are you writing?" The ravaged little girl had to find a way to change the subject.

"The ending of the last story still doesn't feel very good." After letting go of Xia Xia, Angela looked at the screen of the laptop, tapped her fingers on the table and sighed.

Xia Xia, who read it quickly, frowned immediately: "This ending is really bad-you have already started directing, but you haven't even finished the script? My God, Angie, how could you do this? The media said it would It is your best work!"

"When can we fully believe the words of the media?" Angela immediately rolled her eyes at the little girl, and then explained: "It is precisely because I want to take better pictures that I want to modify it."

"Okay, okay, this ending is really bad, anyway, I don't like it." Xia Xia shrugged, "Even homosexuals should have the qualifications to love and be loved, as you once said."

"I know, and I try my best to make this story conform to this point, but the ending must conform to reality. However, whether it's two people resisting the pressure and coming together, or the female principal resigning to find her girlfriend, there is something..." Angie La Tan shook her hands and didn't continue talking, obviously she was really troubled.

"Frankly speaking, I can't give any advice. But I remember you said more than once that a good director will explain half of his point of view in the movie, and let the audience guess the rest. I don't know if this is helpful to you. Help?" Xia Xia said helplessly, no matter how smart she is, she is only 12 years old now.

"Let the audience guess?" Angela was stunned suddenly, a flash of inspiration flashed across her mind, but immediately followed by a bit of bitterness welling up in her mouth.

"I have an idea, thank you, Xia Xia." The girl said as she hugged the little girl and kissed her on the cheek.

"Did I help you? That's great!" The surprised Xia Xia then giggled and kissed Angela back, and then touched her face with some embarrassment: "Well... there is something on my face ?"

"Oh, no, it's nothing." Angela, who came back to her senses, turned her head away and coughed dryly.

What the hell are you thinking!The girl cursed secretly in her heart, but when her eyes swept over Xia Xia's face, her eyes still stayed on her moist lips for two or three seconds, as if something gushed out of her heart and then sank again.

"I think everyone has rested enough, let's continue filming, anyway, the ending is already here." Angela said as she closed the laptop, and called the director's assistant to let everyone prepare.

"Can you secretly tell me how the ending will be?" Xia Xia tugged at the corner of her clothes with anticipation.

"I'm sorry, honey, not now." Angela shook her head, and after the little girl showed a disappointed look, she suddenly asked with a smile: "Are you interested in making a cameo in this movie, Xia Xia?"

"You mean a cameo? In "Love Actually"? You directed it?!" The little girl immediately asked with bright eyes.

"What? Miss Know-it-all doesn't want to?" Angela said jokingly, and then said seriously: "However, I plan to let you appear as a passer-by or something else. Anyway, I won't make an official appearance."

"Why?" Xia Xia, who was still happy just now, suddenly collapsed.

"Because when people find out that the name 'Hermione' is actually in the list of actors after the end, I think most of them will watch it again and find a way to find you!" Angela proudly picked eyebrow.

Xia Xia stared at her with her mouth wide open for a while, and finally shook her head: "You are so bad, Angie!"

The filming continued, and during this period, the story of the couple between Rickman and Thompson was filmed, although several other characters were interspersed in it-such as Laura Linney's mentally ill younger brother. And the sister who gave up on love - but not much in general.

Angela's plan is to shoot stories one by one, so that it is convenient for several actors with tight schedules to make adjustments, and she can take this opportunity to take time to revise the last story.Although she has solved the headache of the ending problem, she has no plans to change her shooting method.

Therefore, it took about a week or so from the start of filming to the present, and the story between the couple was filmed in detail, and then she flew back to Los Angeles on the Sky, and there was a party that she had promised to attend early on.

"Hey, are you having fun?" After the uproar died down, the host emerged from behind the stage with a sudden beam of light, "I think everyone can't wait to go to the dance, right? Take it easy, We will start right away, and the opening dance music will be performed by one of the most outstanding students who graduated in the same class! I think everyone should have guessed who it is, yes, she is welcome to come on stage!"

As the rhythmic electronic music sounded, Angela, who was wearing a lace black wide-shouldered vest and dark skinny jeans, with her belly button slightly exposed, came out from the backstage, flicking her hair to reveal a wild and unruly look , pick up the microphone in the harmony of the people next to you and start singing:

"Hey Mr. DJ, incase you forgot, ICame to get down So you get strikes make it hots..."

Although Ms. Angel's speech was a bit vague, the unusually magnetic voice and the rhythmic music passed through the crowd like an electric current, making them want to twist their bodies accordingly.

When the men and women in harmony came out from the backstage and danced with the rhythm in the center of the venue, and Angela, who was singing on the stage, also began to twist her waist slightly, people's enthusiasm was immediately detonated. Many men brought their own The partners come to the center of the venue and dance against each other to this rhythmic music.

Of course, many single men focused their attention on the sexy and wild Angela, who was completely different from the quiet and beautiful at the beginning, thinking about whether they could invite Miss Angel to dance with her later.

"Even if it's just dancing together." Someone said so thoughtfully.

"Stop joking, it's up to you? How could Angela agree." Someone immediately said mockingly.

Then a group of men began to quarrel in low voices. However, if someone admires, someone must be jealous.

"Look at her appearance, she doesn't look like a billionaire when she is posing on it, she doesn't have the demeanor she should have at all." A woman said sarcastically, the pride on her face was obviously a famous lady.

It's a pity that if you dare to speak like that, you must be prepared to be ridiculed as well.

"It's a pity that no matter how good someone is, they can't make one-third of others' results." Another woman in the crowd said so in a low voice, which immediately drew a few chuckles.

"You..." The woman before turned her head full of anger, but she couldn't find anyone who spoke.She had no choice but to hold back and stop speaking. After all, the person on the stage had already reached the point where she could only look up to her. The sour words she said before were just because of a momentary loss of composure.

Angela on the stage naturally didn't know this, but even if she knew, she wouldn't take it to heart.After singing the song, he readily bowed to everyone, followed the call for another one and went directly to the backstage.

"It's really great, Angela, you sing so well!" Several people in charge backstage immediately came to her and nodded and bowed with smiles that could almost be called flattering.

However, Angela didn't care. She glanced around and shouted loudly, "Jim!"

A few minutes later, Jim Ford rolled over and came over with a flattering smile: "Well... Hey, Angela, you are still so good, this song is really good."

"Don't tell me this," Angela folded her arms and stared at him, "What did you tell me before, it's just a simple singing, it's not a big deal, but I'm in a bad mood right now!"

"This..." Jim scratched his head and looked around for help, but these guys who persuaded him before seemed to know nothing at the moment, and they were busy as if the next performance was very cumbersome.

hateful!If I knew it earlier, I shouldn't have agreed to Ronald... Jim cursed angrily in his heart, but the most important thing now is to find a way to appease Angela who seems very angry in front of him: "This...maybe...because..."

A flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in the hesitating Jim's head, he immediately straightened his body and straightened his chest, stomped his feet vigorously and replied loudly: "Report sir! No excuses, sir!"

"You..." The corners of Angela's mouth twitched, "Do you think it's enough to just bring out the rogue style in the film club!"

"Report sir! Don't report any hope, sir!" Jim still stood up straight, his nostrils turned into the sky, and shouted loudly.If it weren't for the deafening music outside, maybe the whole hall could hear his voice.The guys in charge of the dance all around lowered their heads and tried their best to endure, and they might laugh out loud if they were not careful.

"You... you..." Angela nodded at him for a long while but didn't say a complete sentence, so she could only shake her hands and walk inside: "I'm going to change clothes now, don't come here if you have nothing to do disturb!"

Then she wailed and sighed as she walked: "Damn, why did I agree to join the high school reunion! Why did I agree to write songs for you!"

There was finally a burst of laughter backstage.
