Hollywood Secret Garden

Chapter 608 Sarcastic New Movie

The hall, which was still cheering just now, became quiet as the lights went out.The colorful stage seemed to be splashed with a thick layer of ink that seemed to be insoluble, but countless lights flickered in the ink from time to time, like stars in the dark night sky.

A melodious tin whistle sounded, and the audience in the hall immediately clamored. This melody is too familiar. You must know that this song is one of the best songs in the late 90s.As the prelude will make everyone more excited, it is rare to hear her singing this moving song live.

"Everynightinmydreams, Iseeyou, Ifellyou..." With the slight tremolo singing, the screaming in the audience suddenly became much quieter, because the person who sang was another singer.The people who were waiting to listen to Tianxu couldn't help but feel that they had been poured cold water on their heads. Although the singer's singing skills are quite solid, and her interpretation of this song is not bad, even though people were still cheering for her just now, But the auditorium still couldn't help but let out several disappointed boos.

A beam of light came down and enveloped the girl singing on the stage. Her curly golden-brown hair was draped over her shoulders. Black trousers and a one-shoulder crop top of the same color made her look extremely pretty .Even though there were boos from time to time, she still sang without changing her face.

When the girl sang the line "Andmyheartwillgoonandon", she suddenly closed her mouth and walked aside. Before people figured out the situation, after the interlude, an ethereal singing voice different from her slightly thick voice sounded: "Love can touch us one time ..."

The crowd suddenly burst into violent cheers, and the name "Angela" resounded through the hall immediately.When the lights were turned off, Angela, who had changed into a golden evening dress, appeared on the stage immediately. Only then did people realize that the figure who played the prelude to the girl with a tin whistle in the dark was also her, and the cheers could not help but rang out again.

Angela, who was in the center of the stage, sang this song "My Heart Is Eternal" with great enthusiasm, and that singing voice seemed to have never changed.Even if the girl from before joined in midway, it still couldn't make her singing lose half of its color.The girl at the back simply harmonized for her, and the two matched perfectly.Many people who originally thought that the girl's thick voice was not suitable for singing this song finally changed their views.

At the end of the song, warm applause rang out in the hall, including the three judges at the front.

"It's wonderful, Kelly, I said you are an excellent singer," Simon Cowell said while clapping his hands, "If it wasn't for the safety of your life, I would even say that you can sing better than the original singer."

There was a burst of laughter at the scene, and even if there were a few boos, they were mostly laughing boos.But don't think it will be like this, is Simon Cowell, who is not mean, still Simon Cowell?Of course, he set his target on another person: "As for you, Miss Angela, although your singing voice is as good as ever, there is no need to steal the limelight from others, right? You hardly sing much anymore."

This time there were no boos, but a lot of exclamations. After all, Simon spoke the hearts of most fans.

Fortunately, Paula Abdul, who was sitting next to him, smoothed things over: "Okay, Simon, Angela's going up is not for your judgment."

Another judge, Ellen DeGeneres, also nodded: "Let's listen to Angela's evaluation of Kelly."

"I have to say that Kelly is an excellent singer. Her singing skills are very solid, and Typhoon is also quite good. She knows how to express her strengths. I think that as long as she continues to explore her own style, she will definitely shine very brightly." Angela looked at the girl beside her, Kelly Clarkson, the most powerful contender for the first season of American Idol, and said with a smile.

"Thank you, Angela, thank you." The excited Kelly immediately hugged Angela tightly. You must know that she is also a fan of Miss Angel, and she has sung Angela's songs from the audition to the final.

"I bet, Angela should be very happy." After a good-natured laugh, the host Brian Ducklerman came up, and then spread his hands to Angela again: "You won't blame me for putting you down." Speak your heart out."

There was another burst of laughter in the hall, and Angela immediately shook her head with a smile: "Of course not."

"Okay, our Miss Angel has commented on the last contestant, and it's time to announce the winner of the first season of "American Idol"!" With Brian's announcement, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became extremely enthusiastic.

Angela returned to her position as the special guest next to Ellen DeGeneres. She had promised to serve twice, but for the first time, she chose a random audition and met a very good person. The contestant of Chinese descent - it is said that this guy seems to have signed with some company now - the second time is now the finals.

As a special guest, what she has to do is still to comment on the contestants, because it is the finals, she has to go up and perform. In addition to the chorus with Kelly before, she also sang with several other contestants Justin Erini There is also cooperation.But now that she has completed her mission, she can sit in her seat and watch the show.

"Who do you think Kelly or Justin will win the championship, Angela?" Alan beside him suddenly asked in a low voice.

"Anyone is possible. Both of them are excellent. Otherwise, the organizer will not leave the decision to the public, and let the three of you just press the lights." Angela replied with a smile.

After a pause, the girl looked at the short-haired woman in front of her with some doubts. Since then, the other party has been getting close to her, and seems to have unusual enthusiasm for her. What's going on?

"Don't worry, Angela, I already have a girlfriend." Seeing Angela's doubts, DeGeneres smiled and whispered, but she obviously misunderstood what the girl meant.

"Have a girlfriend?" Angela blinked in a daze, but then she remembered that Ellen DeGeneres was a lesbian, and she publicly announced her coming out as early as 97.

It took a lot of courage to announce publicly at that time. Allen himself admitted in interviews that he was very scared when he came out publicly, and even cried secretly in private.Moreover, although the ratings of the TV series she starred in did not decline because of this news, the production company still suspended the filming for the first time, and then she did not have any work for three years.However, Allen survived, not only writing scripts for HBO, but also hosting. Her unique humor made her talk show very popular, and now she is a judge of "American Idol".

"Sorry, I don't mean anything else. I'm just thinking about the new movie recently, so I occasionally get distracted." Angela shook her head, and her tone became much softer. Such a woman should be respected.

"New movie? Oh, I see. I went to the cinema and saw this movie, it was excellent, and I'm sure many people will resonate with it. So no need to bother with those remarks, you said it yourself on the blog, this It's a personal story and has nothing to do with racism." Allen said comfortingly.

"No, no, no, I'm not worried about "Crash". I recently planned a new movie, a movie about... about true love." Speaking of this, a self-deprecating smile appeared on the corner of Angela's mouth involuntarily, followed by Hidden, "I have prepared ten short stories that I intend to describe in a multi-line narrative like "Crash". Among them, there is a couple of lesbians, and I am thinking... how to arrange them to break up due to pressure and then overcome difficulties The emotional world of coming together again."

"It sounds good, but I may not be able to give you much advice. Although I have been under pressure, it is only for me." Allen shook his head with some regret, "But I still want to thank you."

"Thank me?"

"Yes, my girlfriend and I are considering whether to go to Boston to register our marriage."

Angela immediately understood what she meant, and shrugged slightly: "This is due to the long-term appeal of gay organizations. Without my promotion, a certain state will allow gay marriage sooner or later."

"You're too humble, at least it wouldn't be so fast without your influence, isn't it?"

The girl smiled and didn't speak anymore, but the heart that had been suppressed to some extent started to surge undercurrent again.

The first season of "American Idol" ended with cheers when host Bryan announced that Kelly Clarkson was the winner with 54 percent of the vote.

After blessing the champion and other losers, Angela returned to the backstage and chatted with the people from the production company, then left the studio and prepared to go home.Of course, those reporters who were waiting outside early would definitely not let her go.

"Miss Angela, what do you think of the show American Idol?"

"Are you in favor of young people showing their talents through such talent shows?"

"From a professional point of view, which one do you think has more room for development, Miss Angela?"

Faced with these guys who pressed the shutter from time to time, the girl had to keep her smile and answer as she walked: "This is an excellent program, every link has been carefully arranged, and it provides a good opportunity for young people who are eager to show their talents. stage. I hope the producer can maintain the style of "American Idol" and play a more active role. As for which one has more room for development, sorry, although I also produce music, this kind of question is still for more professional people Better."

There were chuckles all around, and then a reporter asked: "Are you going to give up making music completely in the future?"

"Not necessarily. It was because I didn't have time before. Now that I have graduated, I should be able to better adjust my arrangements." Angela replied.

Although most of the questions were focused on "American Idol", which was broadcast live today and had an audience rating of 32%, it doesn't mean they won't ask other questions.Although "Crash" was released in a low-key manner according to Angela's instructions, how could the media with a sensitive sense of smell ignore the past so easily, and in addition to attracting so much attention during the filming at the beginning of the year, the film was only released in early September. Today, it immediately appeared on the homepages of various media.

And just as Angela expected, "racism" has almost become synonymous with this movie.Of course, those well-known media and famous film critics would not view "Crash" in such a simple way, but they couldn't stop the hype of those tabloids.Although it attracted a large number of people to the theater, it also caused a lot of negative effects. For example, several extreme minority organizations protested.

"You have kept quiet about the topic of "Crash" so far. Is it a guilty conscience because of the racism involved? Do you think it is profitable to make "Brokeback Mountain" after the controversy last year, and want to replicate it this year? The result?" A reporter asked at this time.

The surrounding noise suddenly became much quieter, and the colleagues all looked at this reckless guy with surprised eyes. Such a question is too much.However, after seeing the press card on this guy's chest, the others immediately understood that the reporters of these tabloids have always been "speaking insanely and endlessly".So they immediately focused their attention on Angela again, and no matter how she reacted, they could write a big one tomorrow.

Angela, who had already walked to the front of the car, was slightly stunned. She didn't just get into the car and drive away like many people did. After thinking for a few seconds, she looked at the complacent reporter with a look of pity: " I have made it very clear in my blog about this issue. It is just a story caused by people colliding with each other. I just expanded it a little. Regardless of race, region or gender, as long as you There are bound to be all kinds of connections with other people in society, good or bad. I don't think anyone who is resonated by these stories will come to such a ridiculous conclusion."

After speaking, Angela got into the car before the reporters could react, and the bodyguards started the engine and drove onto the street. The reporters who couldn't catch up had no choice but to shoot wildly at the cars going away.

"The answer was a little fierce, but it doesn't matter, the other party's question is stupid anyway." Sparrow looked away from the rear window, "But I still recommend you to participate in two or three talk shows."

"Okay, Jack, when I was in the studio, I even rejected Ellen's talk show invitation, so don't mention this." Angela put her forehead on her forehead and said with some depression, "I have to add it before it's too late." when."

"There will be no situation where you have to participate, as long as you are willing." Sparrow said so.

"Really, that's great!" Angela said a little irritably, and then slowed down her tone after a pause: "At least now I don't want to be on any shows, Jack, I want to do...something else, such as new movie……"

"Okay," Sparrow shrugged after a while, "About the new movie, there is good news. Most of the actors you need have verbally agreed to appear in it."

"Really?" The look of astonishment flashed across Angela's face, and she was finally excited, "Just based on a script that hasn't been fully written, they all agreed verbally?"

"Yes, after all, it's every actor's wish to work with you." Sparrow said half-jokingly.

"Ha, then should I be a little proud?" Angela smiled softly.

Sparrow didn't answer, but coughed cautiously: "However... I used another term when I was in contact."

"Another way of saying it?"

"Yes, what I said to them was, this is your first British film."

"The first... British-style movie?!" Angela was stunned for a while, then looked at her agent, "I never knew that you would be so cunning."

Sparrow shrugged and said nothing.

"Well, it's not necessarily wrong to say that," Angela shook her head immediately, "That's it, I think the preparations are almost done, let's arrange a plane to London as soon as possible."

Speaking of this, she couldn't help but pinch the bridge of her nose, thinking of the girl who was about to shoot this movie, she felt a sense of mockery.

"Love Actually", this is the movie that Angela is currently preparing.Knowing through Sparrow that there is no such film being produced or planned in the UK - not even one with similar themes - she immediately dug out the outline of the film from the "treasure box" and began to expand it, and at the same time forced to know the film. Department is always ready to prepare.

Although due to the short time, when Sparrow contacted the actors according to her instructions, the scripts he got were still unfinished, but these actors who are very famous in Britain still agreed to Angela's invitation.

The teenage girl should be happy—and she is—but depression comes with it, and the story is a great irony compared to her own.But Angela still wants to direct this movie, because the less she gets, the more she yearns for it?Or do you want to prove yourself or confess something?She didn't know it herself.

I just want to find something to do, something I am familiar with!Besides... this also allows me to solidify the multi-line narrative technique.Angela kept saying this to herself in her heart.Anyway, the turbulent undercurrent can suppress one day at a time.

"Okay, I will arrange it, but it may take a day or two," Sparrow said after writing it down, "Mr. Jared greeted me a few days ago, and he wants to By plane."

"Huh?" Angela was stunned, and it was only then that she remembered that she still used her parents' private jet until now.

"If I'm in a hurry, I can always book a first-class ticket to London," Sparrow added.

"Let's talk about it again, let me see the situation," Angela rubbed her face, "By the way, if you have time, place an order with Boeing. The various configurations can refer to Dad's sky number."

"Understood," the manager nodded, "There is one last question, about the various incidents caused by "Crash"..."

"Leave it to Ed," Angela interrupted. "Anyway, I have told them about the situation before, and I believe Ed will handle it well."

But...is this really all right?
