Hollywood Secret Garden

Chapter 576 The Year 2001 Is About to Pass

The premiere of "Lord of the Rings" is also without any suspense. The novel has a deep enough background and a lot of fans. Peter Jackson spent so many years preparing and using his imagination to outline these words into pictures. Applause and blockbusters are a sure thing - as soon as the film ended, there was warm applause in the theater, and almost everyone was full of praise for the film.

Accepting the congratulations, Peter grinned from ear to ear, and he also seemed more excited in the subsequent press conference, and even accidentally helped Angela block a few unfriendly questions.However, after the reception, this guy immediately revealed his true colors, and he swore to Angela proudly that after the release of "Lord of the Rings", it would not only pull "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" off the box office charts, The total box office is also sure to exceed that of the children's novel adaptation.

Angela scoffed at this, not to mention that "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" has occupied the top of the North American box office chart for four consecutive weeks, and it is normal to be pulled down now.A movie based on a novel aimed at adults wants to compete with a movie based on a novel aimed at children?I really don't know what's going on in Peter's head. It's impossible for adults to be suitable for children, but children's products are completely suitable for adults. Of course, I believe Peter still knows this, but he is too excited.

After all, this can be regarded as his long-standing wish. Although the dust has not yet settled, judging from the reaction to the premiere, it is still very successful.

Angela agrees with this, although her focus is on her role as Legolas - frankly, even if she is mentally prepared, even if she has seen it in the mirror countless times during filming , the girl was still stunned when Legolas appeared on the stage.

That handsome appearance perfectly expressed the elf's handsomeness and slenderness, masculinity and femininity reached a wonderful balance among the colors displayed in the movie, Angela even touched her cheek with some envy.

She looks like this, not to mention what expressions other people should have. Ilya said to her jokingly after the film ended, "Fortunately, you are just a man on the screen, otherwise you might attract women all over the world." .”

Of course, he immediately covered his head and wailed and hid away. After retracting her hand, Angela also took this opportunity to warn the people around who had the same thought with her eyes.It was only after noticing William's dark eyes with hints of resentment and depression, as well as his expression of hesitating to come or not, that the girl showed a mocking expression in her heart.

You can't blame yourself for this, can you?He didn't come early or late, but he appeared in front of him with a little bravado after Liv left.Angela excused herself in her heart.At that time, she was in a bad mood because of Liv, so she had to ridicule this big peacock that could hide very well, but because she treated William as a little kid, she stopped her mouth for a while and was a little bit mean. So it didn't take long for His Royal Highness to retreat with a pale face.

Although Angela adjusted her mentality later, she knew that William was not at fault—when you saw someone talking, did you wait for them to finish and then join in, or cut in midway?But she didn't want to apologize to the other party. Since she was a child, Angela has never confessed her fault to His Royal Highness. After thinking about it, she decided to ignore it. Anyway, this situation didn't happen once or twice, and she didn't see William. How long does it take to hold grudges, and... now as long as I see him, I will think of Liv's appearance when she left her.

Liv... the girl sighed in her heart, but she didn't speak to Liv until the end of the premiere.

With the release of "The Lord of the Rings", the newspapers on the second day finally stopped reporting "Brokeback Mountain". The applause and can't wait to look forward to the next two.At the same time, many diehard book fans who raised objections to Angela's "Leglass" after seeing the stills have also changed their views. Except for those who hated Miss Angel, most of them think that the image of the girl's elf prince is very photogenic.

Of course, there have been complaints that she might be better off playing an elf princess or elf queen, but there's no denying that Angela's "Leglass" persona has been fully validated.However, there were many troubles that followed. For example, amidst the screams of the girls, Angela was firmly at the top of the list of women most wanted to date in various gay magazines or websites such as "Coming Out".

Even many non-homosexual girls aged [-] and [-] left comments such as "I love you", "I love you", Language like "I want to date you", "Can I try a same-sex relationship?"

Therefore, the media or the American media started a new round of debates about homosexuality-although there were no more reports on "Brokeback Mountain", these debates were not missing for a moment.

Of course, Angela didn't care about these things, anyway, it didn't matter if she had reached this point, as long as her secrets were not exposed to the public, it wouldn't affect the plan too much.As for these disputes, it was Sparrow's responsibility as a manager to handle them. The girl only needed to cooperate with his actions.

Originally, on the second day after the premiere of "The Lord of the Rings", Angela planned to take the Sky to return to New York.It's almost Christmas.But she spent another day in London after thinking about it, and then risked being followed and recognized by Keira Knightley.

"Pirates of the Caribbean" was postponed to the next summer vacation, which was the result of discussions between Pixar, Disney executives and Bruckheimer.Although they still have a lot of confidence in this movie after watching the sample, but compared with "Harry Potter" and "Lord of the Rings", it has inherent deficiencies. "Pirates of the Caribbean" is not like these two novels. That has a huge book fan base as the backing.Even if the magic movie is really popular, it can compete with "Harry Potter" and "Lord of the Rings" at the box office in the Christmas time...forget it.Besides, it is not a big deal to postpone until next summer vacation, and we can also observe the market reaction.

It is a blessing for Angela to be able to attend one less premiere. No matter how beautiful and interesting it is, once it is intensive, it will only make people unappetizing. It is correct to put it too far. Besides, the girl had no special feeling for the red carpet.The only thing that caught Angela's attention was, how would Kyla thank her when she found out?She's been in touch with her all along, and it's clear that Kayla wants to know how her first Hollywood project will pan out.

It's just that Angela knew that the decision to postpone was already after "Harry Potter" was released, otherwise she would definitely have visited Keira's house at that time—of course, it's not too late now.

However, to the surprise of the girl, Keira did not express any dissatisfaction or other expressions about the postponement of the movie.

"It's just a postponement, and it's not that it won't be released." Keira, who was sorting out her things, said.

A black and white plaid dress and dark leggings make her look quite British. If she wears a beret, she will be even more beautiful.It's a pity that her chest is still flat and shows no tendency to develop. Although Keira is not yet 18 years old, she still can't escape the fate of "Princess Taiping" in the future.

"But what if, for some reason, only DVDs can be released?" Angela asked deliberately after withdrawing her gaze. No matter what Kayla's figure will be in the future, it has nothing to do with her, and besides, small breasts have the charm of small breasts. .

"Such a large investment will give up the release in theaters and release DVD? Unless Mr. Bruckheimer's head is broken." Keira stopped her hands and gave Angela a blank stare.

"That's not certain, Keira, God knows what will happen in the next six months?" Angela spread her hands with a smile on her face, completely ignoring Keira's gaze of "Are you an idiot?"

"So, what should I say? Pray to God that Pixar or Disney won't go bankrupt within half a year?" Keira raised her eyebrows and sat down in front of Angela, but the other party looked at her with a smile on the back of the chair Just don't talk.

"Okay, then I'll flatter you - there have never been any movies about Miss Angel that couldn't be released in theaters, even the previously controversial "Brokeback Mountain". So, I I don't think she will let that happen anyway, right?" Keira said and leaned in front of Angela, the corners of her mouth slightly raised with a touch of sarcasm and more teasing, the sharp edges and corners were very There is something attractive about soft faces.

Therefore, in the next second, Angela, with narrow eyes, kissed Keira lightly on the cheek.

"What are you doing!" Keira jumped up immediately, and looked at Angela strangely after walking a few feet away.

"It's just a kiss, don't be so nervous, right?" Angela spread her hands innocently.

"It's just a kiss?" Keira looked at her annoyedly, her chest heaved slightly as if she was very unhappy, "Are you really gay, Angie?"

Angela couldn't help being stunned, Kayla was making too much of a fuss, right?Immediately raised eyebrows, showing a playful expression: "Yes, that's right, I'm gay, and now I've fallen in love with you and want to pick you up, how about it?"

As she said that, she leaned in front of Keira again, raised her chin slightly and looked at her provocatively, and even lifted the girl's chin with her fingers very frivolously.Keira's face turned red and then turned pale. As soon as she said those words just now, she knew it was a bit too much. She was about to make up for it, but she didn't expect Angela to put on a stick and put on a "I'm gay, I just want to pick you up" appearance, which made her angry Couldn't bear it and couldn't bear it anymore, so he could only grit his teeth and stare angrily.

"Okay, that's it." Angela accepted it as soon as she saw it. She just came to see Keira, and she should leave after her goal was achieved.

But just before she got up to leave, she touched Kayla's lips with lightning speed, and then giggled and quickly left the room amidst the other's low growl.Although Angela and Keira don't meet many times, they can't help but want to tease her every time.In addition to feeling that Keira and Natalie are somewhat similar, it is mainly because she finds that there is always an unrevealed arrogance hidden under the other's calm appearance, so Angela can't help but want to find out.

Forget it, let's make less jokes like this in the future.Angela thought after glancing at Mavis beside her.After saying goodbye to the Knightleys before, as soon as I got into the car, I was greeted by the female detective with a playful smile. Fortunately, she didn't stab a word or two.

After shaking her head to stop thinking about it, Angela patted the driver's seat: "Buckett, go to the airport."

The reason why I stayed an extra day was to come and see Keira. Since there is no problem, I should go back to New York. As for whether the little blacksmith will have any thoughts on the delayed release... who cares.

Another Christmas is coming, but unfortunately, in 2001, which should be a time of family reunion for Westerners, many families have lost their loved ones.Countless candles were lit on the ruins of the World Trade Center on Christmas Eve. The glowing candlelight enshrined people's mourning, which would be difficult to cover up even with the heavy snow that day.

Even so, beyond this heartbroken place, smiling people hurried down the streets shopping for festive supplies.The ubiquitous Santa Claus also sends gifts everywhere, and life always goes on.

"Let's go, Nat, we'll be recognized if we stay any longer." Angela whispered as she tugged at the corner of Natalie's shirt.

"Let's go." After looking away from the ruins, Natalie took a long breath and nodded.

"So, where are we going next? Ice skating in Central Park?" Angela tried to keep her tone as light as possible.

"Ice skating in Central Park? Frankly speaking, Angie, you don't have to do this to please us, do you?" Scarlett poked her head out from the other side and looked at Angela with teasing eyes.Although the purple wool hat made her look beautiful and cute, the thick down jacket made her look bloated.

In fact, whether Angela or Natalie wears the same amount of clothes, all fashion and beauty are now completely lost without a trace.This has more to do with the colder weather than before, but more with keeping from being recognized.

"I am pleasing you?" Angela glared at her with brows upside down. She was about to say something, but after sneaking a peek at Natalie, she coughed lightly: "Although my skating skills have not been very good, But at least I can give everyone a sense of presence, can't I, Manny?"

Speaking of the girl, she showed a little pride. Although Scarlett played the role of Ennis' eldest daughter in "Brokeback Mountain", she was completely ignored by the film critics. You must know that her independent film "Ghost World" released in the summer vacation "The performance in " has received a lot of praise.

"Yeah, the deep sense of presence impresses everyone who skates." Scarlett made a face, not paying attention to what Angela said, and she pretended to rub her chin and then suddenly smiled She clapped her hands: "By the way, I have to buy a few ice packs first, so that I won't be in a hurry."

The corners of Angela's mouth twitched. If this was not on the street, she would definitely punish Scarlett.

"What do you think, Nat?" The girl turned her head to Natalie and asked, her tone was much gentler.

"Forget it, it's better to go to Seventh Avenue for a stroll, after all, there are many people following you." Natalie said with a smile, brushing her hair around her ears, and Angela couldn't tell from this smile as always What.

"That's right, then let's go." The girl sighed softly, pulled herself together and took the lead in the direction of Seventh Avenue.Scarlett then caught up and secretly gave her a comforting look, Angela smiled back and didn't say much.

This Christmas is no different from usual. The younger brothers and sisters are still polite in front of others and naughty in the end.In addition, when the godfather came over as a guest, he made a special drink for Angela.

It’s just that when I want to go out for a walk, I have some troubles. Meivis and Warren have gone home for the holidays—they and Angela are not in an employment relationship, and besides, they have provided protection for more than half a year, so they must rest—— Girl There are only a few bodyguards left by his side.If you go to the street in groups, you will be surrounded by crowds within half a mile.

Angela didn't want to be surrounded on the street or stay in the house all day, so she had to let them follow from a distance.It's not that she wants to be willful, but Natalie agreed to her invitation on the phone.

Whenever Angela was in New York for the holidays, she would hang out with Natalie and take turns staying at each other's houses.So under the current circumstances, it is undoubtedly positive for the girl that Natalie will agree to the invitation.However, in order to prevent embarrassing situations, Angela pulled Scarlett along.

"When I was a child, I lived in the UK for a long time. In summer, I liked to look up at the night sky in the Scottish Highlands. Facing the bright stars in the sky, I lost my mind. It's a pity that the city lights are no longer so pure. It's a starry sky." Angela said as she walked, the street was intertwined with light and dark under the street lights.

"There are two things in the world that can shake people's hearts, the inner morality and the starry sky above their heads." Natalie said softly, walking side by side, as a response to Angela, but she kicked the pebbles on the street while walking.

"Yes, Kant's words are worthy of people's deep thinking at any time." Angela shrugged. Although she felt that Natalie seemed to mean something else, she didn't want to think too much at this moment.

"I've arrived at your house." After stopping in her tracks, Angela looked towards the small villa.

"Yeah, then... good night." Natalie nodded, without any intention of stopping her, "It's a pleasure to be with you and Manny today."

After walking two steps, Natalie suddenly turned back, her brown eyes sparkling in the half-light: "By the way, Happy New Year."

"Happy New Year." Angela smiled and did not avoid the other party's gaze, and then Natalie suddenly leaned over and gently kissed her on the lips, then turned and strode home.

Angela was stunned for a while, until Natalie's figure disappeared at the door before she realized: She kissed me on the street in front of her house? !
