Hollywood Secret Garden

Chapter 540

"So, Mr. Heath Ledger agreed?" Sparrow asked.

"No, no, no," Angela flipped through the documents in her hand and shook her head like a rattle, "He said he needed time to think about it carefully, after all, this is an important decision. But—his eyes betrayed his heart. "

If he was a man or five or six years older, I'm afraid he would have agreed at that time.Although she said so in her mouth, Angela still felt a little resentful in her heart, completely forgetting that any young woman had achieved what she had achieved.

"Okay, I'll tell McKinley to get them in touch with Mr. Ledger as soon as possible." Sparrow nodded and stood up, "If there's nothing else... oh no, how do you reply to those invitations?"

"Which ones?" Angela raised her head in a daze, then showed a dazed look, and waved her hand: "Let's forget it, it's just been nominated three times in a row."

"Just?" Sparrow sat back on the sofa and spread his hands with a wry smile, "How many directors can do it?"

"Okay, Jack, let's talk about the interview after I get the statuette." Angela waved her hand. "Unfortunately, I don't think it will be mine this year."

This year's competition for the best director is quite strong, except that Ann Lee of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is a little weaker due to some factors, and Stephen Daldry of "Life Dancing" is directing a film for the first time.Whether it is Steven Soderbergh of "Drug Network" or Ridley Scott of "Gladiator", it seems that a girl under the age of 21 is more suitable for the best director. Even this girl has been nominated for best director three times in a row.

My qualifications are still a little shallow.Angela felt a little helpless in her heart, just as although it was the first time for Dudley to direct a movie, he had directed stage plays for more than ten years before that, and many of his works had received good reviews.And it has only been a few years since I picked up the guide tube?Yes, three consecutive nominations for best director equaled William Wheeler's record, but William Wheeler was an excellent director in the silent film era.

But that's fine too, it's certainly helpful for me to get the best director, but the same is true if I can't.Angela then threw those helpless things out.And "Brokeback Mountain" disrupted my plan, maybe it would be better to delay it for a year or two, if...

"But the problem," Sparrow began again, "is not just three consecutive Best Director nominations, but also three consecutive Best Picture nominations and Best Actor nominations."

"I don't seem to be the only one who directed three films in a row and was nominated for Best Picture, right? As for Best Actor, it's a demonstration of the actor's own strength, isn't it?" Angela spread her hands, and then spoke again before Sparrow could speak. He waved his hand: "Well, I'll arrange an exclusive interview with the print media during this time, and the rest will be discussed after the awards ceremony. Also, tell them that I don't want to hear topics related to homosexuality during the interview!"

"I see," Sparrow nodded, "What about the others?"

"Well, regarding the villa, I have already selected two or three models, and I will send the one I like to your mailbox after I have time to look at it." Angela smiled again after finishing speaking, "Thank you You, Jack."

"It is my honor to serve you, Miss." Sparrow said solemnly, "If you consider..."

"Salary increase? Don't even think about it, Jack." Angela smiled and lowered her head to continue flipping through the documents.

"It's...a neat answer." Sparrow shrugged, got up and left.

"Planning to move out?" Alizee, who had been sitting not far from Angela, had been silent and was looking up something on the computer, suddenly asked, with her characteristic flat tone, "Have you figured out who you want to be with?" live?"

Angela, who had just picked up the cup, almost spit out the coffee in her mouth. She glared at the other party with a little annoyance and helplessness: "If you find a chance, you have to sarcasm me, can't you not?"

"The truth always hurts." Alizee replied flatly, "For example, have you considered Madam Elena's feelings?"

"This..." Angela twitched the corners of her mouth. Thinking of her mother's complicated tone when she stayed overnight at Kate or Jessica's and called home a few times before, she couldn't help feeling a little dizzy.

"Damn it, everyone will go out independently, everyone has their own choice, everyone..." Angela waved her hand, and she suddenly realized that she didn't know what she was talking about.

So he simply sat in front of Alizee, raised her chin and showed a vicious expression: "If I move out, will you follow me?"

And Alizee held a USB flash drive in front of her, and said with a blank face: "There are two files in it, one is an actress named Michelle at the beginning, and the other is an actress surnamed Williams. between the ages of 22 and 18."

"Damn, can't you have a normal reaction?" Angela rolled her eyes and complained, took the USB flash drive from her hand and inserted it into her laptop, and clicked depressed.

"Don't worry, Anne and I will go with you," Alizee said lightly, "We are all yours."

"Mine?" Angela, who had extremely sensitive ears, immediately opened her eyes wide and looked at Alizee exaggeratedly.

"I mean...we are the people around you." Although Alizee maintained a calm tone when explaining, the embarrassment and anger caused by the slip of the tongue that flashed from her face could not escape Anji pull the eyes.To be honest, when she suddenly showed that expression on her expressionless face, she was really cute and alluring.

"Oh, Lily, I love you so much!" Angela tsk-tsk and grimaced again, but fortunately she stopped when she knew it was good, coughed dryly and then turned her attention to the computer screen: "Okay, Let me see if I can find the one I want."

I thought it would take some time, but after a few minutes, Angela found the actress she needed, and she found it in the two lists at the same time.

"Michelle Williams? No wonder I always remember something about Michelle or Williams." Angela rolled her eyes.It's also interesting that there are so many young actresses who don't have the same name and surname as her.

Maybe God wanted her to play the role of Alma.Angela shrugged.Although she was also born in 1980, she was a little younger or even a few months younger than her, but she decided to make the whole crew younger, didn't she?

Very good, the leading actor and supporting actress are settled, just need to convince another guy, but there is one more... Just as Angela was thinking, there was a knock on the door, and then Annie pushed the door and walked in a few steps Go to the coffee table and tidy up.

After she put away the messy documents and put the cup Sparrow had used before into the tray to get up to leave, she suddenly realized that Angela was staring at herself intently.Annie, who was a little startled, couldn't help touching her face strangely: "Is there something on my... face, Angie?"

"Ah? Oh, it's nothing, I'm just fascinated by something." After waking up, Angela hurriedly waved her hand to cover up. Seeing that Annie seemed a little disbelieving, she stood up again and hooked Annie's chin with her fingers. He said in a frivolous tone: "By the way, Miss Anne Hathaway, I may move out in a while, will you go with me?"

Annie couldn't help raising her eyebrows: "It sounds like you plan to change the housekeeper?"

"Huh? Ah? Oh, of course not," Angela couldn't help sticking out her tongue in her stomach, calling herself a fool, "I mean...are you ready?"

"Of course, I have been preparing since I appeared in front of you, miss." Annie straightened her body and crossed her hands in front of her body, crossed her legs and made a very formal curtsy with a smile.

Angela couldn't help being stunned for a while, but she quickly reacted and stretched out her hands to hug Annie into her arms. After a long while, she whispered, "I'm so glad to have you by my side, Annie."

Annie patted her on the back lightly, then picked up the tray and walked out. When she reached the door, she suddenly turned her head and asked in a teasing tone, "Are you sure you want to move out? Are you sure you're ready?"

The inexplicable Angela finally came to her senses after being stunned for several seconds, and immediately raised her voice: "Annie!"

It's a pity that Annie had already slipped out at this time, leaving her with only an empty door.

"Damn it!" Angela gritted her teeth and said something, folded her arms and looked at the place where the other party left, and was a little dazed.

"You don't want to attack Annie, do you?" Alizee's voice sounded neither salty nor weak.

Angela, who heard it clearly, couldn't help coughing a few times, then turned her head and glared at Lily.However, she also knew that doing so was useless, so she simply sat down in front of Alizee with a smirk: "Yes, you are right, I am going to attack Anne! What? Miss Lily, who has always been on the sidelines, has nothing to do with this Advice?"

"No, that's your business." Alizee said with lowered eyelids, a trace of imperceptible anxiety flashed in her eyes.

Seeing that the effect she wanted was not achieved, Angela frowned, then walked around behind Alizee humming, leaned her head and kissed her earball suddenly: "What if I want to attack you? "

Unexpectedly, Alizee jumped up suddenly, stepped aside quickly, and stared at Angela with eyes mixed with anger and dissatisfaction.Angela, who hadn't expected her reaction to be so violent, was stunned, and asked cautiously after a while, "If, if I offend you, can I apologize to you, Lily?"

Alizee took a few deep breaths, and finally returned to her usual calm appearance, then walked back and sat down: "If you're okay, please let me continue, unless you don't need these things today."

"Oh, of course." Angela raised her hands, and after a while, she leaned over and asked in a low voice, "Are you really not angry?"

Alizee suddenly raised her head and gave her a hard look, Angela quickly bounced back to her place, muttering to flip through the documents in her hand: "Okay, okay, Lily is angry, Lily has never been so angry. been angry."

Alizee, who was grinding her teeth, retracted her gaze angrily, and a complex look of anger, dissatisfaction, and a little bit of confusion flashed across her face.After rubbing her face vigorously and taking a few deep breaths, seeing that Angela was really flipping through the materials and not paying attention to herself, she breathed a sigh of relief and continued to select for the other party.

In order to choose an actress who is suitable to play Lu Lin, Angela spent a few days looking at the information of the actors, and the film department also recommended many people in cooperation.

But she always felt a little inappropriate, after all, she planned to use the "original crew" to shoot.

It's not a good thing to procrastinate like this, so after thinking about it, Angela decided to choose among the young actresses she had worked with.

"So, you found me?" Sarah Michelle Gellar asked noncommittally as she looked at Angela with her chin resting on one hand.

"That's right," Angela nodded with a smile, "How is it? It's just an audition."

"I shouldn't have rejected you, Angie," Sarah sighed and made several meaningless gestures, "But I've been very depressed recently, and my manager told me to take a break, otherwise..."

"So, the previous rumors that the crew of "Buffy the Vampire" wanted to change people are true?" Angela asked in surprise, "How could this be? You have always acted very well, haven't you?"

"No, no, it's not like that." Sarah showed a slumped look, curled up her legs and rested her head on her arms as if she wanted to shrink her body into the sofa, "Although the crew gave me a warning, the conflict is not that serious. only……"

She shook her head with a wry smile, as if she didn't want to say anything more. Angela wanted to ask what was wrong, but seeing her listless appearance, she scratched her head and said annoyedly, "It's such a pity. You know, I only have you, Mi Na, and little Joe—Jordana Brewster—three candidates, and now you have no interest at all, which is really bad."

"Mina? Are you still planning to invite her?" Sarah sat up suddenly and asked.

"Of course, I told you that I plan to select among the young actresses I have worked with. After picking and choosing, I found out that there are only three of you." Angela spread her hands and curled her lips, following what she keenly captured .

"Why, is there something wrong between you and Mina?" She asked tentatively.

"What? No, no, nothing." Sarah froze for a moment, then shook her head like a rattle, but she couldn't hide the gnashing of teeth.

"Come on, don't try to lie to me—you broke up?" Angela narrowed her eyes.

"What are you talking about?" Sarah was startled and angry, "You came to me just to ask such inexplicable questions?"

"Really? I still remember the scene when you two got drunk and made love in my guest room. You called Mina a lot when you were filming "The Grudge" in Tokyo, and you did at the end of last year." You recommended Mina to play your sister in "The Grudge", didn't you?" Angela pinched her chin and said with a little complacency, and Sarah's face that turned red and turned white proved that her guess was pretty close.

"Oh, by the way, when my friend and I passed by a gay bar in West Hollywood last August, I thought someone looked familiar. Now that I think about it, you should be right!" This sentence is pure blackmail. Said that she was busy shooting a new film in Princeton last August, and rarely went to West Hollywood even if she was shopping with friends.However, this kind of blackmail is still effective, especially when the opponent is disrupted in the square inch and has not adjusted for a while.

"Okay, okay, we did break up! You are satisfied now!" Sarah pressed her hands on the sofa and raised her voice excitedly, obviously she needed to vent.

"Can you tell me what happened? If you are willing to confide in me." Angela said reassuringly.

After yelling out what was in her heart, Sarah quickly calmed down. She looked at Angela with a weird look, then frowned and asked, "Can I trust you? If someone else finds out, I don't have the kind of confidence you have." There will be nothing to say."

"Of course, I'll be conservative... Wait, what does it mean to say nothing?" Angela frowned.

Sarah spread her hands and said nothing, Angela couldn't help but feel a little nervous: Did she see something?impossible? !Just as the thoughts kept spinning in her head, Sarah started to talk: "You are right, I have started dating Mina since that unintentional relationship with Mina. I... …never felt this way about a woman before, but it was new and fun and exciting and...happy. It was such a wonderful feeling that I... found another life and we were like lovers in love In a relationship, I know you can feel it."

As she spoke, the corners of her mouth turned up, but immediately turned into anger, which made Angela, who was about to ask whether she felt it or not, shut her mouth and continued to listen: "Since before Halloween last year, I have noticed that she treats me Although we maintain a relationship as lovers, we always feel that she is a little absent-minded. At first I thought that because we were always busy with our respective careers, the long separation time would lead to a decrease in enthusiasm. It's been fine for a while. But I didn't expect... When I came back from a party at a friend's house on Thanksgiving, I saw her come out of the bar talking and laughing with another woman! That intimate look is definitely not ordinary friends, God , In the morning, she called me and said that she couldn't spend Thanksgiving with me because of something! Damn, how could she do this!"

Sarah clenched her hands into fists, breathing heavily while maintaining a calm surface: "She was dating Jennifer Love Hewitt. Although I found out soon, I never revealed it. I kept saying I hoped that she would tell me the truth, but she never said a word, as if... as if there was no such thing at all! I have been patient until..."

"That's how it feels!" Angela suddenly exclaimed, shaking her fist in surprise, "Lou Lin's reaction should be like this, you must play this role, Sarah!"
