Hollywood Secret Garden

Chapter 536 Acting in an action scene for the first time

There will always be excuses, as long as you are willing to look for them, and sometimes they may even come to your door.For example, after browsing the news on a certain website and receiving an email in the afternoon, Angela finally found the excuse she had been thinking about for a long time, and then quickly started making calls.As for whether there was any other meaning in what Annie said at the time... Sorry, I don't have time now.

After waiting for a long while nervously, a voice finally came from the other side. Angela immediately threw the original anxiety into the sky, and the voice was the same as before: "Oh, Kate, I'm so sorry, I only called you now."

"Angie?" Kate's voice was a little weird, "It's okay, I'm busy these days too. You know, I've already reported to the crew that I've been rushing out to film these few days, and Ridley's request is very Strict, so..."

"Yes, I know, I will try it in a few days," Angela maintained her tone, "By the way, Kate, remember the script I told you before? The film department has already approved the project. are you ready?"

"You're talking about... the script of the Highway Girl Killer?" Kate asked after thinking about it.

"The answer is correct, it seems that I should give you ten points." Angela said jokingly, and then coughed softly: "Don't tell me you quit, you know I have been preparing for a long time."

"But it sounds like you don't intend to direct." Kate said suddenly.

Angela couldn't help raising her eyebrows, she seemed to have caught something: "I never said I would direct this movie, did I?"

After a long while of silence over there, Kate's disappointed and anxious words came: "Is that so?"

"Kate, listen to me, the plan for making "Brokeback Mountain" has been in place for a long time. If it wasn't for the fact that the theme was a bit too weird compared to my age and gender, it would have been announced long ago instead of letting the reporters make this kind of Passive situation," Angela's head turned rapidly, "I originally planned to create the fact that the filming started first like the previous year's "The Pianist", and then ignore whatever the public opinion says... Kate, are you listening?"

"Um... yes, of course, I'm listening. I'm just thinking... I mean it's the right thing to think about, but..." She was clearly distracted.

"Don't worry, I'll pick an excellent director to shoot, trust my vision. Besides, I don't want to experience the feeling of yelling at you because of a certain scene again." Angela said with a smile He said, and then added, "Of course, I will also be named in the column of the producer, and I will ask about the situation at any time."

When she said this, her heart moved slightly, and she hurriedly continued: "Well, Kate, I will send the script to the mailbox first, and you can read it first. When I report to the "Matrix" crew in a few days, we will meet face to face How about we talk about it?"

"Oh... well, of course, no problem." There was an obvious sigh on the other side of the phone.

The hand holding the microphone tightened before Angela spoke again: "By the way, Kate, although I don't want to make you worry, I have to tell you... I have already admitted to my parents that we are dating."

"What?" Kate exclaimed. "You...you...you mean..."

"Yes, I told them everything between us," Angela felt a little guilty when she said this, but she quickly restrained her emotions, "Don't worry, they didn't say anything radical, it's mom It’s a little unacceptable. Anyway, I’ll tell you in detail when I come to the crew in a few days. Trust me, Kate, it’ll be fine.”

This sudden news obviously disturbed Kate's position. She wanted to say something on the phone, but finally sighed with a wry smile: "Okay, I see... I'll wait for you , Angie."

After putting down the phone, Angela finally breathed a sigh of relief. Thinking about her performance just now, she could only twitch a wry smile.However, there was another call to make, and not only was the excuse not good, but it was far more difficult than Kate's.Even so, she dialed anyway, she couldn't imagine what her life would be like without either of them.

"Hi, Nat, is that you?" Angela asked as she tried to remain calm when the phone finally got through after a long beep.

"Angie? I didn't expect you to call me." Natalie's voice was equally calm, which made Angela a little uneasy.It's okay if her mood fluctuates, but... the calmer the lake is, the more likely it is that the undercurrent is turbulent.

"God, I've been so busy recently, I have to admire the perseverance of those reporters," Angela said bravely, "Especially tabloid reporters, they really dare to make up anything, I just got a report from a tabloid I saw a ranking on the website. They actually listed the women who might date me one by one, including almost all the women who have a relationship with me, and you are ranked third. The most outrageous is that Nicole, Cameron They're also on the list, on the grounds that mature women make me feel warmer! Hell, their imaginations are really rich, and it would be a loss not to write fantasy novels. I bet if the aunt hadn't married the uncle, She's definitely going to be on the list too."

"It sounds like you are very happy and proud?" Natalie stabbed her a little.

"No, no, no, I'm just... a little dumbfounded." Angela quickly explained, "It's just preparing for the next movie, but it caused such a big disturbance, it's too bad."

"If you just want me not to think about it too much, then I can assure you that I didn't think about anything else." Natalie said very directly, and immediately blocked everything she was going to say next.

This made Angela extremely depressed and even more disturbed. As a last resort, she had to throw out the previous topic in advance: "Hey, Nat, this is not what I want to talk about!"

"Really? What's that?" Natalie remained calm.

Angela obviously took a deep breath, and said in a solemn tone: "I have... told my parents everything about me, including when we started dating, what it was like in the beginning, etc. It's all said."

There was silence immediately, and Angela waited patiently for a long while without hearing Natalie speak again, and could only vaguely hear rapid breathing.Just when she was getting more and more anxious, the other party's voice finally rang out: "Your...your parents...have already known?"

A little dry and flustered, Angela was stunned for a few seconds, and she could almost picture Natalie on the phone looking restless in her mind.To be honest, I really want to see, um, and hear her lose her composure. Although Angela knew that she would have such a reaction because it was different from Kate's experience, she was astonished and at the same time had a tinge of joy.

"Don't worry, Nat, although Mom was a little bit upset about it for a while, Dad was noncommittal about it. I think...he's probably neither for nor against, and it's okay, they didn't throw a tantrum or speak badly about it. Everything… ...It's up to me to decide, but now only my parents know about the family, and my uncles, aunts, and grandparents are still kept in the dark, so it is necessary to keep silent." Angela said in one breath, panting slightly Pan Cai asked again in a low voice: "Nat, are you listening?"

"I... I... I'm listening, of course I'm listening, I heard everything you said. Um... That's good, Mr. Jared and Mrs. Elena, um... It's good to know. At least We can be more...more aboveboard...no, no, no...I mean...I mean, at least our pressure..." Natalie was obviously incoherent.

"Calm down, Nat, calm down! I've already talked to my parents separately, and nothing will happen." Angela suppressed her excitement and said in a comforting tone.If Natalie was in front of her at this moment, she would definitely hold her in her arms to comfort her.

"Sorry, Angie, I think I have to hang up, this news... this news is really a bit..." It sounded like Natalie was smiling bitterly.

"I know, Nat, if you suddenly tell me that Mr. Avner and Mrs. Shirley know about our affairs, I will also be at a loss." Angela secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "I will come to New York next month, We'll talk about it in detail when the time comes. Anyway, don't worry, okay?"

After finishing the call, Angela stood up and stretched out her hands thoroughly, then sat back on the bench with a trace of slump.A feeling of exhaustion suddenly came to her heart, which made her even have no strength to smile wryly.

"That's it," the girl muttered to herself, "at least it's okay for the time being."

Kate and Natalie were temporarily appeased by the shock caused by confessing to their parents—although it will be confirmed after they meet—but Angela also knows that this is not a long-term solution, and her parents can ignore it and let her deal with it Just because she has her own problems doesn't mean she will cover them up for her.So finding a way to confess to Kate and the others, hoping that they would accept his explanation, was put on the agenda again.Even if you escape far away, you still have to face it later.

I hope... I hope it's not too bad, Angela said to herself in her heart.

"Hey!" Keanu suddenly yelled in the middle of the set, and Angela quickly let go: "Are you okay?"

Keanu grinned and rubbed his elbows for a while without speaking, but just glared at Angela angrily.After exchanging opinions with the director, Tiger Chen outside the set came in with a wry smile: "Okay, let's rest for a while."

As he spoke, he came to Keanu's side in a few steps, raised his arm and looked at it: "No big problem, right?"

"I don't know, once the elbow is numb, you won't need to exert strength." Keanu pointed to the joint of the arm, "It's much better now."

"Well, it should be all right?" Angela who stood by and didn't walk away asked cautiously, "I don't think Keanu's muscles were broken, right?"

"You are practicing Wing Chun, not Viking Fingers, Miss Angela!" Tiger said angrily, and then showed a curious look: "However, speaking of it, your reaction is really sensitive, and the position is also very accurate .”

"Thank you. My strength is insufficient, so I have to attack from other aspects." Angela immediately looked at Keanu with a proud expression, and quickly closed her mouth after noticing the other's black face.

"Is this the third time or the fourth time, Angela?" Keanu asked with annoyance and helplessness, "I can think of it as an accident the first or second time, but again and again I can only say that you must have something for me dissatisfied."

"Oh, don't be like this, Keanu, that's just my conditioned reflex after long-term practice," Angela quickly raised her hand, "There won't be a next time, I promise!"

Keanu, who was rubbing his elbow, looked at Angela resentfully, and then asked Tiger: "Is this the case for people who often practice Kung Fu?"

"Of course—no!" Tiger shrugged, and looked at Angela with mocking eyes, "In fact, people who are proficient in kung fu know how to send and receive freely, only those who practice often but are not good at learning skills will have conditioned reflexes during the sparring Condition."

"Come on, tiger, people who are proficient in kung fu will also have conditioned reflexes. If I sneak up behind you with a plastic baseball bat and suddenly hit you on the head, you will also release me immediately." Fall to the ground!" Angela, who lost her face and couldn't hold back, retorted immediately.

"But at least we know how to send and receive freely, and judge whether the hand should be light or heavy based on the feeling, instead of—" the tiger dragged his voice, "When shooting action scenes, we subconsciously attack the opponent's flaws!"

Although Angela tried her best to make her face look ugly, Tiger also saw that she was putting on airs, so he continued in a teasing tone: "Mr. Ridley suggested that you do exercises with me before, but you refused So it's clearly your problem—of course, I have nothing to say if you deny it, you're the boss."

For a moment, Angela hated her teeth, but she couldn't say much, the problem was indeed her own.So after taking a few deep breaths and calming down, he politely said sorry to Keanu, then gave Tiger a blind eye before turning around and walking towards the rest area Shi Shiran.

It's just that sometimes she wants to rest but she may not be able to rest. Just after she took a sip from the water glass, Ridley's voice sounded beside her: "How do you feel, Angie?"

"What do you want to say, Raleigh?" Angela raised her eyebrows after putting down her glass, "If you mean my outfit, I told you the answer a few weeks ago."

The white women's Tang suit, black shoulder-length wig, and special sunglasses fully fit the theme of the "Matrix" series that pursues a "cool" appearance in the Matrix.In addition, Angela's deliberate temperament based on her own speculation complements the whole movie, and the costume designer should be rewarded.

"Your image is really good, but that's not all I want to say." The old man smiled, then narrowly blinked his eyes: "I wonder if you were a little dissatisfied after agreeing to this role under some pressure ?”

"Hey, Rayleigh, the tiger has already laughed at me, are you going to laugh at me too?" Angela was really dissatisfied.

"Okay, okay, I apologize, I'm sorry," Ridley quickly spread his hands, but his smiling expression didn't change at all.Angela didn't really want to get angry, so she curled her lips and said with a bitter face: "You have to understand, Raleigh, this is my first time acting in a sci-fi movie, and it's also my first time acting in an action movie, so it's okay to be a little uncomfortable." Understood, right?"

"Of course," Ridley put away his smile and nodded, "but this is not the first time you have acted in a movie, so it shouldn't be so long and you still can't adjust your state?"

"I know, don't worry, it's getting better soon, I was just getting used to it." Angela also nodded seriously, and then blinked teasingly: "Don't worry, I won't and it's impossible for me to make Keanu lose my hand because of a mistake." Lie on the ground and can't get up."

Ridley laughed and was about to walk away. After taking two steps, he turned his head: "Don't always have a sad face when you encounter problems. In that case, it's for women... so be it."

This guy!Angela rolled her eyes at the old man who ran away, since she knew it, why did she run over and talk?But having said that, the fact that I have a sad face has only a small part to do with the bad filming, right?

Thinking of this, the girl couldn't help but looked up in the crowd, but she rolled her eyes as soon as she raised her head, and a big black man was holding his son and walking towards her with a smile on his face.

"Hello, Miss Angela, I'm so glad to meet you. This is my son Jaden. Jaden, this is your idol, Miss Genius Angela." The big black man introduced his three-year-old son enthusiastically. He has a pair of very characteristic protruding ears, and his thick eyebrows and big eyes are still very handsome.

"Hello, Will, and Jaden." Angela smiled and shook hands with the other party, and then greeted the laughing guy in his arms, "I don't think you will have a role today, come to visit my wife Ben of?"

"Yes, Jaden misses his mother, so I'll bring him over to have a look and meet his idol by the way, why not?" Will shrugged and complained jokingly: "Say To be honest, you gave me too little role, and you were killed after only a few appearances. And you were killed in such a useless manner, at least you should let me fight with Neo or Smith before I was killed, right? "

"Even the Guardian Angel will be easily killed by Smith in the end, for a simple protection procedure like yours, holding on for two seconds is not bad," Angela shook her finger, "Don't be too greedy, Will. "

"Okay, you are the boss and you are the screenwriter." Will shrugged helplessly, then asked for his son's autograph, greeted him and went to find his wife.

This guy is naturally Will Smith, the leader among black male stars. He contributed a lot when the crew asked his wife Jada to play the role.And he himself likes the movie "The Matrix" very much, and has been lobbying for a role in it, even if he doesn't need to be paid.

After hearing about it, Angela generously gave him the role of a program agent, similar to the one in "Men in Black", but was beaten up by Neo first, and then when Neo and Smith confronted for the first time, was Smith was assimilated.

Even so Will is very happy, so he has a lot of friendship with Angela.Therefore, complaints such as today will often be heard.

Come to think of it, what movie would suit this guy?Angela looked at the back of Will hugging his son and thinking like this, it seems that there is a movie in which he and his son starred together, it seems to be called...

At this time, she raised her eyebrows unexpectedly, and the figure who had been waiting seemed to have just passed through the crowd.
