Hollywood Secret Garden

Chapter 573 Influence and others

"What are you talking about, Meiss?" Angela, who turned her head, stopped pushing, but kept winking at Meiss.But Meiweisi seemed not to notice, and continued the previous words: "His Royal Highness has about seven bodyguards, five are in the lounge and two are in the corridor outside, but there should be plainclothes in the crowd outside the theater."

"Did you hear, Chris, I didn't lie." William straightened his clothes and said a little proudly, then extended his hand to Meivis politely: "Thank you for your righteous words, may I know your name?"

"Mavis von Neurich." Mavis shook William's hand calmly.

"Feng?" William showed a look of surprise just like Angela back then.

"It's just a name, Your Highness." Meivis still said in that indifferent tone.

"Mess is personally responsible for my safety." Angela's voice cut in, "Besides, she is an FBI agent."

"You said... the beautiful Miss Mavis von Neurich is an agent of the FBI?" William was completely stunned, "It's surprising, what position do you hold in the White House, Ke Liz?"

"In fact, it is said that terrorists wanted to kidnap me, so the FBI sent someone to protect me." Angela spread her hands and pouted her lips. "It's just that nothing has happened since the beginning of the year."

"Nothing happened? Don't think I don't know anything when I'm in England, Chris," William frowned and looked the girl up and down, "Shooting with gangsters in the street, saving people under the World Trade Center during 911... God Ah, are you really that Angela Christina Mason I know?"

Listening to the resentment in the other party's tone, Angela only felt goose bumps all over her body!Well, you are the first person who can make yourself like this without physical contact, amazing, William!

Fortunately, Meivis helped her out: "By the way, Angie, Ms. Rowling seems to be looking for you, go and have a look when you have time."

"I'm free now, I'll go there right away!" Angela said quickly, "Sorry, William, let's talk later when I'm free."

After the girl finished speaking, she dragged Meivis away in a hurry, leaving the depressed Prince William standing alone, the expression of "how could you do this" on his face was really interesting.

"Thank you for your help. If you hadn't dismantled my platform in the first place, this trouble would have been solved long ago." After burrowing into the crowd to make sure William didn't catch up, Angela complained to Meivis.

"Sorry, I didn't know that your IQ would drop to such a low level at this time." Mavis retorted.

The girl couldn't help but twitched the corners of her mouth: "Okay, okay, I just thought... Hey, you look pretty today."

Compared with the first meeting a few months ago, Meivis's hair has been grown a lot longer, and it is parted on both sides and placed on the shoulders just right. Although it is simple, it is quite tasteful.That blue-black long dress with thin shoulders set off her long-term exercised curves just right, and with her own unique temperament, her graceful appearance was no less than anyone else's.

"Thanks, I guess it's just a compliment, right?" Mavis glanced at her.

"Of course..." Angela nodded, and then she reacted and looked at the female detective with a strange look, "Why, do you think there is something in my words? Hey, I'm really complimenting you!"

"I'm just asking casually, so don't be so nervous." Meivis shrugged, then the corners of her mouth suddenly turned up, with a hint of teasing in her smile: "Frankly speaking, I didn't know you were so attractive to men .”

"What!" Angela petrified instantly.

The ending of the premiere of "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" has no suspense. As Chris Columbus, who often shoots G-rated movies, he handles this theme very well.Besides, the first two films in the entire series are also the most childlike, so some plots have to be cut, but the quality of the movie is still quite good.

Especially when the Great Hall of Hogwarts appeared on the big screen for the first time, the countless candles flying on the ceiling caused murmurs of admiration to resound one after another in the auditorium. Even Rowling, who was sitting next to Angela, couldn't bear it. Zhu murmured something like "that's great".Although she stayed on the set from the beginning, watching the scene of her dreams being built with her own eyes, the shots that appeared on the big screen were all optimized effects, which naturally gave people a better feeling.

Therefore, after the movie ended, there was a burst of applause in the hall. Faced with such a situation, there was no need to consider the low probability of failure, so the question now became a matter of how much money could be made.

"The total box office may not exceed one billion...but it should be very close." Angela, who was sitting in the car, recalled carefully.The previous premiere reminded her of a lot of scenes from the original version of "The Sorcerer's Stone". Compared with the current version, although it is half a chip better, the advantage is not very obvious, so whether the box office can reach 10 billion depends entirely on luck. .

Forget it, don't think so much, let nature take its course.Angela said so in her heart.

But then his face became bitter again, what would he think if he didn't think about this?William's deceitful attitude or Mavis's suspicious speech?

Just when her head was a little big, Xia Xia in her arms suddenly made a "uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu to roll over and wrap her body around the girl's neck naturally. , continue to sleep soundly.

"Here we go again. If I had known, I would have asked your mother to accompany you to the premiere. Why would I bother with such an errand?!" Angela rolled her eyes.Having said that, not only did she keep her voice to a minimum, but she also raised the arms holding the little girl so that she could lie down more comfortably.

Xia Xia was indeed exhausted. After all, she was not yet 12 years old, so she fell asleep leaning against Angela not long after getting in the car.The pitiful girl hugged her in her arms, intending to let her sleep comfortably, but the little guy was extremely dishonest, twisting and turning from time to time.I didn't think there was any problem when I was young before, but now that Xia Xia is developing into a big girl, it is inevitable that she will often encounter some sensitive places that embarrass Angela.If she did it on purpose, she was indeed sleeping, so even if Angela got angry, she couldn't express it.

Damn kid, someday you'll pay for what you did, everything from when you were born!Looking at Xia Xia who was soundly asleep, Angela said viciously in her heart.And the little guy in the girl's arms who didn't know anything about it didn't know what he was dreaming of at the moment. He couldn't help but gently soothed her face.

At this time, the RV stopped, and after making sure that there were no paparazzi around, Angela carried Xia Xia to the door of the apartment under the dim street lights.After muttering, "You're so heavy," she rang the doorbell.

"Hi, Mrs. Jacqueline, I sent the little one back intact." Angela smiled and said to the lady who opened the door, "It's just a little late, and she fell asleep in the car."

"It's okay, thank you for sending her back." Jeblin said, reaching out and hugging the little girl from Angela's arms.

"Mommy..." Xia Xia, who was in a haze, was awakened, and immediately recognized her mother, and opened her arms to allow her to hug her into her arms.Fortunately, she didn't forget anything. After yawning cutely, she turned her head and grinned confusedly at Angela: "I love you, Angie."

Seeing her drowsy look of not knowing where she was, Angela couldn't help but chuckled, and immediately leaned over and kissed her on the cheek: "I love you too, Xia Xia."

"Why don't you come in and sit down?" Jacqueline said.

"No need, it's already late, besides..." Angela turned her head and looked at the two cars following the RV, and shrugged self-deprecatingly, "There are many people following me."

"So, good night, Angie." Jacqueline nodded with a smile, and then closed the door.

And Angela took a long breath of the cold air and walked back to the car slowly. Thinking of Xia Xia's cute appearance in a drowsy sleep, her heart suddenly became lighter.

The girl hurried back to Boston the day after the premiere. It was already doomed that "Harry Potter" would take the lead in blowing a magical whirlwind in this year's Christmas file, so I hurried back to "Brokeback Mountain" 》The final finishing work is better.As for movie reviews?Come on, what praise do you have for this kind of completely children-oriented movie? At most, it is to criticize the film technique and the performance of the actors. If you are a die-hard book fan, you will be dissatisfied with the deletion of some plots. Such a problem Anybody can pick out a bunch of them.

No matter what, it can't stop "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" from topping the box office charts everywhere. In North America alone, it took away 1 million US dollars in the first weekend!

"This little wizard with glasses just waved his wand, and countless children flocked to the cinema." A certain film critic wrote in his column with some acid.

The major film companies are also jealous, and anyone with a little business sense can see the commercial value contained in this series of novels.It's a pity that it's impossible for them to get a share of the pie now. Pixar not only won the production rights of the first three films early, but also has the right of first refusal for the next four films.

As for the idea of ​​making the next four volumes... Don't be stupid, let's talk about the relationship between Miss Angel and Magic Mom.

But Angela doesn't care about these things, except that after writing a few words on the blog about her feelings about the premiere and her love for this series of novels, she plunged into the finishing work of "Brokeback Mountain", anyway, she is not in this movie Assuming any position—even if she got in touch with Rowling and she recommended Xia Xia to play Hermione—so naturally there is no obligation to promote it.

Anyway, the magic mother agreed to accompany the promotion throughout the whole process. The popularity of the three young leading actors will naturally not decrease after the movie is released, and Angela is just icing on the cake.But then again, Angela seems to have never fully fulfilled her duty of publicity. Even the movies she starred in or directed mostly disappeared without a trace after participating in the premiere.

If it's just directing, it can barely be justified if it doesn't attend other promotions, but as a leading actor, it's a bit of a big name if it doesn't participate.But no one said anything about Angela because of this. Of course, this is because the girl did a good job—she didn’t completely quit participating, and she would reach an agreement with the producer in advance to obtain an understanding—the main reason is that Angela herself It's just a huge publicity machine. Think about it, who can make a movie like her that will provoke endless debates in the United States and even Europe?

Although Angela began to "oppress" the studio employees even more horribly after returning from London, so that Thanksgiving was spent with her grandparents in New York, but some things still need to be responded to.

"If necessary, we can provide the TV station with all the footage of Emma's audition," Angela said coldly as she walked outside the school, "It's true that I watched her grow up, but these don't hinder I recommend her to director Columbus and Joe, don't I? Some people just like to speculate like everything else is done with a dark secret. I have nothing to say to those people, but I'm glad they aren't Work in national security."

After she finished speaking, she ignored the yelling of the reporters and the sound of the shutter clicking, and got into the car under the escort of the bodyguards, and waved her hand in disgust to signal Bucket to drive away quickly.

"It's really rare. This is the first time I've seen you show such disgust towards the reporter." Meivis said after looking at the reporter who was thrown away through the rearview mirror.

"If it's just telling me right and wrong, it doesn't matter anymore. But do they think they are really uncrowned kings because they speculate about a child so maliciously?" Angela said angrily.

Although she knew that after Xia Xia became famous, she would be turned upside down by the reporters, and her relationship with her would inevitably be exposed to the public, but Angela really did not expect that these guys from "The Sun" would make a big fuss about this relationship Propaganda, saying that the audition is actually a scam, the three protagonists have already been pre-appointed, Pixar is simply for hype!

"Probably with the passage of time, people have forgotten the "Los Angeles Evening News" incident, so I don't mind letting them remember it again." Angela gritted her teeth and pinched her fingers.

Although it was my father and grandfather who helped me achieve that result, but now I am completely different from what I was then.And Angela knew that Ed was definitely ready to fight back at this time. If this statement was accepted by most people, it would have a very bad influence on Pixar, so she planned to make the counterattack more violent.So after disappearing, Angela immediately granted Sparrow full authority and asked him to cooperate with Ed. Although doing so in his current capacity was a bit pricey, it was worth it for Xia Xia.

Thinking of this, an unspeakable feeling suddenly came to Angela's heart. In fact, the little guy's mentality is not bad.

"It was really annoying at first, but I'm relieved after thinking about it. I did join the crew because of your recommendation, didn't I? But I also participated in every audition seriously, didn't I?" Xia Xia said in Angela After calling, he said so, and his tone was steady without any anxiety or unhappiness, just like a little adult.

Another kid was about to grow up, Angela held her cheeks a little disappointed, then thought of the other Emma in her uncle's house, couldn't help but shrugged her shoulders with a smile.Regardless of the fact that the two guys are only one year apart, if Lulu encountered such a thing, she would have been wronged and slipped into her aunt or her arms.

"Finally I can rest, you don't know how busy I have been during this time," Angela chattered after returning to the villa in Boston, after taking a sip of the soda water brought by Annie, "It's just the soundtrack Adding editing was a hectic enough job, and supervising the dubbing and film print in Los Angeles was daunting."

Annie just chuckled a little bit at these almost callous words, while Lily still sneered unceremoniously: "I thought you should like this, don't you do it every year? Miss Workaholic."

Angela curled her lips, and then sighed: "To be honest, Lily, I should have caught you and continued to be my personal assistant. Amy Brown, who is the assistant this time, is not bad at work, but Sometimes I don’t know what I need at all! It takes me a long time to remind me to understand...Damn it, I don’t even know how to reprimand me if I want to.”

"It sounds like you can't live without me." Alizee snorted softly, turned and left the bar and walked towards the back room.

Angela rolled her eyes, shook the cup in her hand, and looked at Anne again: "When I return to Los Angeles to attend the premiere of "Brokeback Mountain" next week, you and Lily will go back with me? You can go to my manor Check out the villa."

"Has the decoration been completed?" Annie, who was wiping a glass behind the bar, showed a look of surprise.

"Almost, I saw the photos, they are very beautiful, you will like them, we will move in after graduation next year." Angela nodded with a smile, "Are you ready?"

"Do you want to preview it in advance, Miss?" Annie smiled and spread her hands, slightly shortened her body and made a curtsey.

"I have to admit that you are the prettiest when you smile, Anne." Angela said, raising her finger and stroking her lips sideways with narrowed eyes, "similarly, if you smile, you will be very ugly." .”

Annie immediately gave her a blank look, turned around and left Angela, who couldn't stop laughing, and entered the back room.

"This is the measure we prepared for the premiere of "Brokeback Mountain". Let's take a look." Meivis walked over at this moment, and handed the document in Angela's hand.

"Damn it, it shouldn't be any different from the previous one, right?" Angela scratched her head depressedly, and then raised her palm before Meivis could speak, "I know, the various facilities and entrances are different in every place. , I have to understand, but..."

Angela suddenly leaned in front of Mavis's head and frowned: "Mace, do you still think that terrorists will kidnap me?"

"That's not something I should be thinking about," Mavis said softly, looking into her eyes.

"Ha, who should that be? Me? Or your boss?" Angela rolled her eyes and was about to continue, but suddenly froze again. She found that her head seemed to be... too far away from Mavis. near.
