Hollywood Secret Garden

Chapter 558 In Florida

When seeing Kate for the first time, Angela felt like laughing.She was so different from before, her eyebrows were shaved and her teeth were buckled, there were a lot of crow's feet around her eyes, and her skin was dried out by a makeup artist.

If Angela hadn't known this would happen, it would be impossible to recognize it right away.

It's just... Can he hit the throne of actress?The girl suddenly sighed in her heart, and her gaze became gloomy when she looked at Kate.She persuaded Kate to star in this movie in the first place, just to let her get the best actress statuette.Yes, it is not up to her whether she can get it or not. Every year, many powerful actresses are shortlisted, and there are various factors.But the biggest problem is that Kate unexpectedly won the Best Supporting Actress for "A Beautiful Mind" this year!

Best Supporting Actress in the first year, and Best Actress in the second year?Just kidding, let's not talk about whether this has happened in the history of Oscars. With Kate's current acting skills, it is only possible to do it unless she performs hundreds of percent above the standard and adds a little bit of luck.

Why did Kate win Best Supporting Actress for the role of Alicia?It's not that she doesn't act well, even the Nash couple are full of praise for her, but... the corners of Angela's mouth curled up slightly as she watched Kate.In fact, Kate should have won the Best Supporting Actress. The performance in "A Beautiful Mind" really showed 200% of her acting skills as Angela said at the beginning, because she was in charge of the director!

"Miss Angela? Are you okay?" Director Ike's voice pulled Angela back from her trance.

"Ah? Oh, it's nothing, I'm just thinking about something," the girl explained with a smile, "Sometimes when I get absorbed in thinking, I don't respond to the outside world at all, sorry."

"It's okay, if you have something to do..." Ike said and glanced at Kate who was talking to his assistant in the distance.

"No, no, let's talk about the specific situation here first." Angela shook her head and turned her body sideways.

"Okay, the current progress has come..." The director no longer refused, and asked the assistant to bring the schedule and the scene list to tell Angela.McKinley recommended to Angela the director Ike Cochlin. He has several independent film works and has a good reputation in the independent film circle.The lens language has its own style, and the most attractive thing is that it is good at constructing the emotions of the characters, and the keynote of "The Devil" is the emotional world of Irene Wuornos in the last few months, so Angela would He was selected among several recommendations.

"Thank you for your commentary, Ike—can I call you that? Thank you, I believe this will be an excellent movie in your hands." Angela smiled and shook Ike's hand.

"I never deny this, this is a top-notch script, I like it, so the public will definitely see a completely different Irene Wuornos from the news!" Ike said confidently, with a hint of with arrogance.

Sure enough, he is an independent filmmaker, and he still has the character he should have.Angela said so in her heart.She is not worried that the other party may pay too much attention to her personality and make the film deviate. You must know that she is not only the supporting role and screenwriter of the film, but also the producer.Of course, it is best to negotiate and resolve differences.

"That's right." Ike remembered something at this time, and after glancing at Angela's Meivis, he said again: "Because of certain things and Miss Meivis' notice, there is a Public scenes will be saved for the last shot."

"I understand." Angela opened her hands with a slightly wry smile.

After saying hello to them, the girl went straight to Kate.At this moment, she was sitting on a chair, flipping through the script seriously and carefully, as if she didn't know who came to the set.

"Hi, Kate." Angela suppressed the anxiety in her heart and called out.

"Hi, Angie." Kate raised her head and nodded slightly, then continued to look at the script in her hand, her tone was flat, as if she was greeting an ordinary person.

The girl smiled wryly in her heart. Thinking of the long stare on her back when she was talking to Ike before, she mustered up the courage to ask again: "Recently...how are you? I mean...how is the filming going?" .”

"It's not bad." It was still a short answer in that flat tone without emotion, but this time she didn't even raise her head.

Angela gritted her teeth and wanted to say something more, but her mouth grinned for a long while, but no word came out.Thinking of Natalie's polite barriers to herself during those few days at Harvard, and thinking that no matter how much she called Kate and Jessica, they would either not answer or hang up after a few words, all the strength in her body seemed to be exhausted. was emptied.

Just then an assistant came over: "Miss Angela, Mr. Ike asked when can you start?"

"Well...you can do it now." Angela smiled bitterly in her heart, looked at Kate who was reading the script with her head down, and then raised her hand to the assistant: "Take me there? Do you put on makeup first or change your clothes first? "

After she left, Kate looked up, her eyes full of complex expressions of resentment.

For the role of Sybil, Angela has worked hard to figure it out.Since agreeing to Kate, she asked Sparrow to help collect all the information about this woman. In addition to the experience with Irene Wunos, there is also the woman's previous life and family situation, etc. These materials Angela, who had already read a lot of case files at the time and wrote the script, had a deeper understanding of Sybil. It is no exaggeration to say that no one in the entire crew understood it better than her.

It's just that this kind of understanding is unpleasant, because it is difficult to evaluate this woman.Say she is selfish, it is human nature to seek good fortune and avoid evil, but she can only say that she is not really in love with Irene; say she is pitiful, but she always asks Irene to come over and go, and finally betrays her without hesitation I gave it to the police; call her hateful, but it made Irene feel a little warmth in this world at the end; in short, it is very contradictory and complicated.

This kind of role is the most difficult to perform well, and deviations will occur if you do not handle it well.Even if Angela has a lot of understanding, it is not easy to fully grasp this woman's psychology, but...

"Very good!" Ike raised his head behind the camera and exclaimed.

The two women on the set both breathed a sigh of relief. After looking at each other, Kate returned to her seat, took a sip from the water glass handed by the assistant, and then began to close her eyes and meditate.

Angela sighed softly in her heart, and returned to her seat to force her attention to the character.

At this time, her hair was cut short and all dyed black, and her beautiful face became very mediocre under the hands of stylists and makeup artists.Although not as bad as Kate's ugly outfit, it is completely different from the previous beautiful image.

This is not surprising, the movie "Devil" is not a story about handsome men and beautiful women.

The previous filming was a conflict between Sybil and Erin. Angela handled the role very well, and Kate's performance was also very tense, so Ike applauded loudly.

"Excellent, Miss Angela, you have mastered Sybil's selfish worries and fear of losing very well." Ike praised greatly, "I didn't expect your first scene to be so good .”

"So, my homework is not bad?" Angela shrugged with open hands.

"Of course," Ike said, slapping his head, "I almost forgot, you won the Best Supporting Actress in 94, and you wrote the script, naturally, you know a lot more about the characters than I do."

"It's okay, I hope I can keep this state forever." Angela showed a modest smile, but the smile was bitter in her heart.She gently squeezed her hands, the feeling of hugging Kate for the first time in so many days seemed to still be around her hands.

Because Angela just arrived today, and it took a lot of effort to make up and style, so I stopped after taking two or three shots.Then continue to shoot other Kate shots, maybe because Angela is on the scene or maybe because I have gradually adapted to the previous shooting, these scenes were shot quite well.

In the fierce conflict scenes, the tension of the previous confrontation with Angela was maintained, while in the plain and simple scenes, this tension was hidden in the eyes and simple body language.Ike raved about it, saying that it would be nice if the previous shoot was as good as it was, and maybe reshoots and stuff like that.But what made people laugh and cry was that he actually asked Kate jokingly: "Did you become more outstanding because of Angela's arrival?"

"Maybe, who knows?" Kate replied with a calm expression, but she didn't look at Angela who was not far away from the beginning to the end. Angela who heard it clearly smiled wryly.

Soon, night fell on the town.Because Florida is between the Gulf of Mexico and the Atlantic Ocean, and it is now summer in May, the climate is quite similar to California.But one thing is better than California.There is quite a lot of rain here, and it is impossible to have a situation where there is no rain in Los Angeles for ten and a half months.

Especially in summer, it often rains without warning.And it's not like London, which always has low-pressure clouds. Once it falls, it can't stop, and it usually comes and goes quickly.

"To be honest, it feels good. After the rain, the air will be much fresher, and the temperature will also drop." Angela said, who opened the window of the room and enjoyed the breeze.

Just like when Angela was making "Memory Fragments", the "Devil Head" crew also rented several independent houses in Kannersville as a place for crew members to rest and live.In the final analysis, this is still a low-budget movie. Except that the producer is named Angela and the production company is Pixar, it is not much different from other independent movies. Of course, there is no big budget to arrange for everyone to live. hotel.

Of course Angela can go to the hotel by herself, but that would easily attract attention, and besides, there are not very good hotels in the small town.So it's better to live with the crew, but it's inevitable to be nagged by Mavis.

"I have checked everything, everything is normal, there is no problem," the female agent came out of the bathroom, "Also, I live next door to you, if there is an emergency, you can knock on the wall, but it is best not to do certain things." matter."

"Do you think I have time to do those things?" Angela rolled her eyes, still looking at the street outside.

"I'm just reminding you." Meivis shrugged her shoulders, followed by a hint of curiosity: "Frankly speaking, Angie, you can't be really gay, are you? I've been by your side for several months, and I've never seen you and Men have dated."

Angela almost fell from the window, turned her head and gritted her teeth, looked at Mei Weisi with a sneer and said, "What? Did you see me? Want to sleep with me?"

Meivis raised her hands without saying anything, and turned her head when she walked to the door: "To be honest, I think the relationship between you and Miss Kate is really strange, it doesn't mean anything, it's just a kind of intuition."

Then, without waiting for the other party's reaction, he slammed the door and walked out. Angela, who was standing in front of the window, stared angrily.Damn it, I was too careless, I forgot that this guy is an FBI after the relationship improved, if she saw something, it would be... too depressing.

The girl looked at the night scene outside which was different from the big city. Kate and the others were filming a few streets away, and she couldn't see it anyway. Standing here was just to masturbate.

She closed the window and slammed the curtains, followed to the bed and plopped on it, never wanting to get up again.Closing her eyes and recalling the scene with Kate this afternoon, Angela suddenly didn't know whether it was Kate or Irene, and whether she was Angela or Sybil.Yet she could do nothing but sigh deeply.

To this day, she is still unable to confess everything to them, even though the words have come to her lips several times, she was finally swallowed back.She didn't understand that the more some things evaded the rebound, the greater the strength, and the more unpredictable the possible results were.Maybe she understands this, but just refuses to accept the possible consequences.Her stubbornness and cowardice are evident.

Faced with this situation, the only thing Angela can do is to put in more work.In addition to trying to figure out the role of Sybil every day and perform it well, I also have to communicate with various parties by phone.

For example, how did Jack Gyllenhaal, Heath Ledger and Sarah Michelle Gellar practice their riding skills, and how did the "Brokeback Mountain" crew inspect in Montana.At the beginning, she asked to express the training videos of Heath, Jack, and Sarah to her for observation every once in a while.

In addition, she also asked about "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" and "Pirates of the Caribbean".

The former is in the post-production stage. Director Columbus is full of praise for Xia Xia and the others, so that Xia Xia is a little proud on the phone, and Rowling is very excited because the scenes in the book are restored by the movie bit by bit .

As for the latter, it is also undergoing post-production now. Bruckheimer enthusiastically said on the phone that this will definitely be a big movie, and at the same time admitted that Keira Knightley is very suitable for the role of Elizabeth. First class.

Interestingly, if there are no accidents, these two movies will be released in the Christmas file by then, plus the "Lord of the Rings" that has already been set...Fantasy Wars?Well, let's hope all three movies don't come out on the same day, or Angela will have to split herself in thirds.

There are many things related to the movie, and many things not related to the movie, such as the release of her new single.Because there is only such a single released this year, if she wants to maintain her momentum, she must refine this song, and besides, she also wants to match the release of an ipod.

Although these things distracted Angela's attention, it didn't mean she was having a good time.For Angela, getting out of "Sybil" at the end of each day of filming was painful.

It's just that even if she can avoid some things, some things will still come to her.

"Well...you mean..." Angela glanced at the room, trying to make herself calm, "we kissed first, and then came to the bed, Kate took off my clothes and continued to kiss, I was lying on the bed The back legs are going to clamp her waist?"

"Yes, that's right, what's the problem?" Ike spread his hands naturally. Although he sensed the displeasure in Angela's tone, he didn't know why.

Angela folded her arms and looked at him for a while, then frowned and said, "I don't remember this paragraph in the script."

"No?" Ike was a little surprised. After the assistant handed over the script, he quickly flipped through it, and finally pointed to one of the pages and said, "Isn't it here?"

"What I wrote is: They made love. This is a sentence, not a scene." Angela said blankly.

"But...but..." The director scratched his head inexplicably, and after a few seconds he finally understood, and then smiled: "Don't worry, Angela, it's not a big deal, it's just a passionate scene. There won't be too many people there, I promise."

"It's just a passionate scene?" Angela raised her eyebrows, her face visibly turning ugly.

Ike was obviously at a loss: "Of course, if we are worried about the scale, we will be very careful when editing."

Angela stared at him coldly, and after a while, beckoned to him and walked to the corner.

Ike shrugged puzzledly and walked over, then Angela came up to him and gritted her teeth in a voice audible to two people: "No one can modify my script without notice when I'm on the scene! No one can just arrange a completely unnecessary passionate scene for me! No one can let me take off my clothes in front of the camera!"

The director opened his mouth, facing Angela exuding a cold aura, he seemed to be frozen and unable to move.At this moment, Kate's voice sounded: "Ike, let me talk to her."
