Hollywood Secret Garden

Chapter 541 It's All Done!

Sarah Michelle Gellar easily agreed to Angela's invitation. As for the reason, according to the lawsuit, that is, Miss Genius who is also a producer, director and screenwriter: because she looked crazy enough at the time The words were sincere enough, and Sarah was eager to make another breakthrough in her image, so they hit it off.

As for whether this is the truth, no one knows, because another person involved has said in private more than once: If someone grabs your collar viciously, gives you an ultimatum with a murderous face, and swears what to say If you don't agree, you're dead, so what else can you do besides nodding desperately?

This statement is also debatable. Everyone thinks that Miss Genius should not be the kind of person with violent tendencies.So what happened at that time, like a mystery hidden in history, was shelved after the truth could not be found.Well, these are all things for later, and now Angela is still busy with the casting of the new movie.

Heath and Michelle have also agreed, and Sarah already has suitable candidates for most of the main roles, so there is only one person left to fool.Angela moved her gaze from the computer screen to the car window.

I really want to know, Mr. Jack Gyllenhaal, will there be any rumors about you and Mr. Heath Ledger?Angela gritted her teeth and hummed as she thought.Obviously, even though the main responsibility is not on Gyllenshire, and she has regained her place at the sorority party, she still has some grudges about the gossip two years ago, and it really is a vengeful... woman.

Not long after the doorbell rang, the door was opened, and a young woman with brown hair, about 22 to 28, appeared in front of her eyes. She looked at Angela and Sparrow behind her suspiciously. There are also two bodyguards: "Sorry, what can you do?"

"Excuse me, does Mr. Jack Gyllenhaal live here?" Angela took off her sunglasses and hat, showing a polite smile, "I'm Angela Mason, I should have called Gyllenhaal directly Sir. But his answering machine said he was going to stay with his parents for a few days, so I had to take the liberty of visiting."

The young woman blinked her eyes and finally came to her senses: "God, it's Miss Angela! Nice to meet you, I'm Maggie Gyllenhaal, Jack's sister."

"Nice to meet you too, Gillen - may I call you Maggie?" Angela shook her hand.

"Of course, Angela." Maggie stepped aside, "Please come in."

Maggie's parents, Stephen Gyllenhaal and Naomi Foner, also came to the living room later, and after Maggie made an introduction, they exchanged pleasantries with Angela.One of the couple is a producer and the other is a director, so there are many topics to talk about.

"A woman like Angela who can achieve such achievements at such a young age, and even surpasses men in some respects, will only come out in a few hundred years." Mrs. Fang Na praised, while Mr. Gyllenhill shrugged unnaturally. shrugged.

Angela couldn't stop laughing, but still said modestly: "I just work harder than ordinary people."

At this time, there was a sudden bang bang sound on the stairs, and several people in the middle of the living room immediately looked for their reputation.In the meantime, Jack Gyllenhaal was holding on to the handrail of the stairs with a slightly slanted body, and seemed to almost fall off, with a slight surprise and a little bit of fear on his face, and Maggie beside him looked stunned.

"What's the matter, dear." Mrs. Foner stood up.

"It's okay, Mom, it's okay. I slipped and almost fell just now." Jack explained, his eyes glanced at Angela from time to time, and the surprise and fear before seemed to be because of her.

Is it that serious?Angela muttered something in her stomach, and immediately got up to say hello: "Hi, Jack, how are you?"

"Hmm... hello, Angela, I heard... you need me?" Jack said, glaring at his sister, apparently because Maggie didn't tell him who was coming when she went to look for him.But Maggie didn't take her younger brother's dissatisfaction seriously, and shrugged her shoulders disapprovingly and went aside.

"Yes," Angela nodded with a smile, "If possible, how about going to your room to communicate?"

"Why..." Jack Gyllenhaal showed embarrassment, but before he finished speaking, Angela glared at him and immediately changed his words: "Okay, then... please come up."

One after the other came to Jack's own bedroom upstairs. Before Angela could speak, he rushed to the corner by the window: "Okay, is there anything you can say now?"

Angela couldn't help but rolled her eyes, and said angrily and amusedly, "What are you doing hiding there?"

"I think it's better for everyone to keep a distance." Jack faltered and gestured.

"Please, that only happens when you're drunk," Angela ground her teeth, "Besides, I've already apologized."

"Are you sorry? I'm sorry, it seems that I haven't heard it." Jack folded his arms and snorted.

"Yes, not in person, but someone gave you a note!" Angela also folded her arms.

"Okay, let's stop here, OK?" Jack immediately raised his hands in the air, "If this is the business, then I have forgiven you; if this is not the business, then please say the business!"

"Okay, business." Angela snorted heavily in her stomach, "You dropped out of Harvard last year. It is said that you want to concentrate on developing in the entertainment industry. How do you feel now?"

Jack Gyllenhaal hesitated and answered briefly: "Not bad."

"Not bad? So you're satisfied with your position?" Angela raised her eyebrows, "A young man in adolescence, rebellious and unruly living in his own world?"

"So what? I'm not yet 21 years old, what else can I do if I don't play this kind of role?" Jack complained.

There is drama!Angela's eyes lit up: "That's true. Even if you are willing to play an older character with a rich heart, you may not be able to play it well. After all, there are some things that you can't understand without certain experience."

"Hey, don't think you know me well, Angela," Jack waved his hand unhappily, "I'm indeed young, but it doesn't mean I can't play those older characters well. If I don't have enough experience, I can use other methods It doesn’t seem to be admirable to make up for it with experience and judge blindly, aren’t you only 20 years old when you can make those movies?”

"I really didn't expect you to use me as an example. You think so quickly," Angela clapped her hands with a smile, "Well, since this is the case, there is an opportunity in front of me. I don't know if you want it or not?"

"I'm sorry, what do you want to say?" Jack asked puzzled.

"A supporting actor, would you be interested in acting from the time he was 25 to 45 years old?" Angela asked sternly.

Jack frowned as if he still didn't understand, and after a while he showed an expression of disbelief: "Brokeback Mountain?"

"The answer is correct, plus ten points!" Although Angela said it playfully, she stared at him without blinking.

"This... this..." Jack was at a loss, "this is crazy!"

"Really?" Angela frowned slightly, "You think so?"

"Well...I mean..." Jack adjusted his emotions, "Well, I actually wanted to say that this is so weird, how could you... want me to play a gay role, and the time span is so long .”

"Well, it seems that someone said just now that no one gave him a chance." Angela pinched her chin and said jokingly.

Jack Gyllenshire blushed for a moment.Before he could speak, Angela continued: "I think you must have never read this novel, so you don't understand how this is a character worth exploring. To be honest, if I were a man, I might try it. In addition, the average age of the actors selected so far plus me as the director and screenwriter will not exceed 22 years old!"

"This...sorry, it's not that I don't...but..." Jack gestured as if he didn't know what to say.

"To be honest, Jack," Angela raised the corners of her lips slightly mockingly, "If the man in front of you is a male director in his 50s or [-]s, he has also been nominated for three consecutive Oscars for best director, and he also has the title of genius. This Would you be so shocked when someone sends you an invitation?"

After a pause, she crossed her arms and showed a proud expression: "Crazy? Maybe. But since I dared to make a movie like "The Pianist" a year ago, I also dare to use a group of young people to shoot this movie now. "Brokeback Mountain"!"

"It doesn't seem to be going well?" Sparrow asked after Angela got into the car.

"Really?" Angela raised the corners of her mouth slightly, "Don't worry, everything is under my control - if he doesn't call after two days, remember to remind me to call him."

To be honest, it was much harder to convince Jack Gyllenhaal than Heath Ledger.Even if she has the advantage and trump card, Gyllenhill does not have the desire to break through her own image like Heath.Therefore, the effect of the trump card may be greatly reduced, and his family may not approve of it, so Angela must find a way to start from other places.For example, putting himself in a position of being discriminated against, and then making himself arrogant because of it, in order to stimulate his adolescent rebellious mentality.

Fortunately, it basically went well. When it came to the end, Gyllenshire was obviously a little tempted, but he didn't give a clear answer, but said like Heath that it would take time to read the original work and think about it. It is estimated that the answer may be around 80%.Angela breathed a sigh of relief, as long as he nodded, even if his family objected, he could ignore it, and it was not in vain for her to even bring up the saying "If I were a man, maybe I would try it".If that's the case, let's forget about the director being able to act.

"No problem," Sparrow nodded, "Do you want to prepare a contract for Mr. Jack like Mr. Heath?"

"Of course, the sooner you tie the rope, the better." Angela shrugged and jokingly said, "You know, Jack. When you talk about Mr. Jack, you seem to be talking about yourself."

"Maybe it's because I wanted to be a cowboy again after being a captain," Sparrow joked.

"Are you sure - you really want to be this kind of cowboy?" Angela asked in a drawn out voice.

Sparrow couldn't help but coughed dryly and stopped talking, while Angela laughed loudly.She couldn't help being in a good mood. After thinking about "Brokeback Mountain", she finally put the unplanned things back on track. Anyone will feel a sense of relief that the burden has been lifted from their shoulders—even if the burden has not yet been lifted. Remove completely.

No problem, since we can get to this point, there is no reason why we can't keep going, even if everyone is young.Angela gritted her teeth and thought, give you two or even three months to learn riding skills, learn southern accents, and experience the life of cowboys and gays, so what if you are young!

After taking a long breath, Angela frowned slightly again, and after a few minutes, she looked at the time, then took out her phone and started calling: "Hi, Dad, it's me... yes, if you can, Please arrange the Sky, I want to go to New York right away...to see my grandparents and...you know...thanks...okay okay, I'll definitely buy it, that's all."

After turning off the phone, she stared at the phone in a daze for a few seconds before raising her head: "Bucket, we're going to the airport now—sorry, Jack, you need to drive back by yourself."

Although when Sarah was emotionally talking about her relationship with Mina, Angela focused more on comparing her feelings with Lulin's in the book, but it doesn't mean that she didn't have other feelings when she recalled later. idea.

It's certainly not weird why Minaj would date Jennifer Love Hewitt, or how to help Sarah get her back in her relationship - Angela did have the idea, it's just that it's obviously not something she should be involved in .

Angela was a little worried, she didn't want this kind of thing to happen to herself.Although it was ridiculous to say this, she still stubbornly believed that she was different from Mina.Whether it is an excuse or an escape, at least she is trying to find a way to solve it now.However, the conflict must not be expanded until it is resolved, so I had the phone call to my father before.

After a flight of about three hours, Sky touched down at Kennedy Airport in the Big Apple.After tidying up a bit, Angela left the airport through the VIP passage surrounded by bodyguards.Although she was still thinking about "Brokeback Mountain" when she was on the plane, she calmed down and cleared her mind, leaving only one question.

"Hi, Nat, it's me," Angela pulled out her phone after the car started to type. "Are you free tonight? How about going out to dinner? Yes, I'm in New York right now, just off the plane."

She looked at the scenery out of the car window, the tall buildings completely blocked the sun behind, leaving only a large expanse of burning clouds in the sky: "Don't worry, nothing will go wrong... Great, I'll pick you up right away."

After turning off the phone, Angela sighed silently, covered her forehead and began to close her eyes to rest, and unconsciously pressed her other hand on her heart.It should... be fine.

The melodious and melodious music reverberated in the restaurant, the voices of low-pitched conversations kept coming and going, the waiters walked among the tables like butterflies on flowers, and the slightly dim lighting made the surroundings look romantic and elegant.

"I have to admit, they have a unique way of handling mushrooms." The girl at the round table put the food in her hand into her mouth and chewed slowly, then nodded appreciatively.Although she was not considered a first-class beauty, everyone was fascinated by the intellectual aura emanating from her bones.

"That's great, I knew you would like it." The girl sitting across from her laughed, her shoulder-length black hair and bright eyes and bright teeth can be called a stunner, especially the pair hanging on the The small glasses on the high bridge of the nose made her even more tempting.

"However, they should have boiled it in chicken soup first..." The intellectual girl continued, but the one on the opposite side interrupted immediately: "Please, Nat, honey, only those who lose weight will treat fat as a morbid enemy. Strict In a sense, vegetarians should advocate eating more vegetables and fruits instead of completely rejecting meat."

"I just said something, Angie, don't you need to look like this?" Natalie raised the corner of her mouth slightly, "It's as if someone stepped on your tail."

"Don't be so sarcastic, okay? We're dating." Angela puffed up her cheeks and said in a reproachful tone.

Natalie coughed lightly: "Please pay attention to the occasion."

"Okay, okay, I see." Angela glanced around, then sighed: "I should have booked this place earlier."

"Then why didn't you pack it?" Natalie asked lightly.

"First, you have to make an appointment in advance; second, under what circumstances would two women book such a restaurant?" Angela shrugged slightly.

"So what, anyway, your level of make-up is pretty good and the light is dim, don't worry about it being seen out, right?" Natalie lightly sipped the ice water in the glass.

"What if you were spotted?" Angela asked back, "I don't want to make mistakes, Nat."

"That's true. After all, you got into a scandal in San Francisco last month." Natalie said in a nonchalant manner.

"Oh, speaking of it, I have to admire those reporters, who can recognize me from the photos. Of course, I was careless at the time... Hey, wait, what did I hear?" Angela suddenly narrowed her eyes He closed his eyes and stared at Natalie with a half-smile, "There seems to be something sour, is it an illusion? Oh, I thought it would never happen again."

"What are you talking about?" Natalie frowned.

Although the light in the restaurant was relatively dark, Angela could still clearly see a blush flashing across the other's face, and she couldn't help but feel a little relieved.

"What am I talking about? Do you really want me to repeat it?" Angela grinned.

Natalie didn't speak any more, she took a sip of the ice water in a concealed manner and turned her head to the side.

At this moment, Angela deliberately lamented and shook her head: "Just a trip to San Francisco can make you like this, if I let you know that I will play a gay role this year, tsk tsk..."

"What are you talking about, you have a gay character?" Natalie turned around suddenly.
