Hollywood Secret Garden

Chapter 520 Blackmail and Trap

"I sent it back to redo it because I think you can be a better match, not a bad match," Angela said into the microphone, leaning lazily on the high back chair, "I thought you knew the difference between the two. Difference, Kate."

"Of course, you perfectionist," said the same languid voice on the other end of the phone, "and I know what you're thinking besides that, thinking that the filming hasn't tortured me enough, has it?"

"Don't say that, my dear, if I don't think I've tortured you enough, I'll send you to Boston instead of Los Angeles." Angela corrected with a smile, but Kate scoffed at this: "It should be said that you are afraid of being dubbed by me." Revenge, Miss Genius? Unless you keep a bottle of whiskey with you at all times."

Angela could almost hear the sound of the other party's teeth grinding. Although it was amused in her heart, she was more resentful.If you threaten me again, you will really bring whiskey with you at all times!She cried out like this in her stomach.Of course, she could only slander, if she really wanted to say it, with Kate's personality, she would definitely book a plane ticket right away.

"Three-quarters of the film has been edited. To be honest, your performance is very good and Russell is not behind. I am now wondering if I should nominate you for an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress." Angela switched topic.

"So, should we hit the best supporting actress? Or the best leading actress?" Kate said in a needless joke.

Angela rolled her eyes: "How about taking both? It will definitely cause a sensation."

"Excellent idea, let's start planning to kidnap the relatives of the judges now." Kate said seriously.

"Okay, I'm not joking," Angela shook her head. "According to the current progress, I will return to Los Angeles in the middle of this month at the latest to prepare for the trial screening. When you see it, you will know that I am absolutely not exaggerating."

"Okay, then I'll wait for you." Kate's chuckle came from over there, and then she seemed to hesitate for a moment before she sighed and opened her mouth: "Angie, if we have time, let's go out together How about a two week trip?"

The girl holding the phone couldn't help being stunned, while Kate continued on her own: "We can rent a small island in the Caribbean or Hawaii first - if we are worried about being discovered by someone, we can also go to the Mediterranean Sea. During the day Surfing, swimming, chatting and playing games at night, enjoying a life of two people who are completely undisturbed. Then go skiing in Nordic ski resorts or visit places of interest around the world..."

Listening to Kate's words, Angela couldn't help but tighten her hand holding the microphone, and after a while, she sighed in her heart and whispered, "I'm afraid it won't work for a long time. You know, I take care of both ends and don't want to give up." .”

Speaking of this, she suddenly raised her voice again: "But, there will be time, Kate, I promise."

"It doesn't matter, anyway, what I said is to go when I have time," Kate still chuckled lightly, and was not unhappy about it, "Okay, that's it, I can't wait to see you in Los Angeles."

After putting down the phone, Angela looked at the desktop in a daze for a while.In fact, as long as she wants to, it is entirely possible to hold a test screening in Boston, so that the Nashes don't have to go to the West Coast.And yet... Angela insists on having it in LA for the same reasons she was careful to avoid Liv when she went to New York to see Natalie's play.

No, it's different... Angela shook her head to find out the difference, but she found that there seemed to be no difference in essence.The girl sighed and put her head on the table, at this moment the phone on the desk rang again.

"Hello, may I ask..." Angela, who picked up the phone and asked habitually, opened her mouth wide before she finished speaking, with surprise and a little bit of complexity in her eyes: "Jessie? I didn't expect you to give me a message at this time." Call up."

Although they usually talk on the phone, Jessica mostly calls Angela after she returns to the villa, and rarely chooses her class or work time, especially now that it is rare to call her office few.

"I read today's newspaper, and I'm a little... worried about you." Jessica's voice was hesitant, and Angela could completely picture the blushing girl on the phone in her mind.

"There's nothing to worry about, dear Jesse, you know those guys are masters at taking words out of context. As long as they want to, it's normal to pick bones out of eggs." Angela didn't try to expose her thoughts, and said with carefree words Said in a tone of voice, "I just said something like 'For a genius like Nash, it is boring and thankless to pay attention to and argue about those controversial places', but they can actually interpret it as 'Miss Genius Self-pity' stuff! I can't help but admire them. If it weren't for the restraint of the big media, I would really consider applying to the courts to keep these guys at least 500 feet away from me!"

"Angie, I actually want to say..." Jessica listened patiently to her complaints and vented for a long time, and finally found a chance to intervene, only to be interrupted by Angela: "To be honest, I think I should use my influence to find a way to lobby congressmen to pass a law about maliciously interpreting other people's speech! Although the First Amendment to the Constitution guarantees freedom of speech, it does not say that there is freedom to maliciously interpret other people's speech!"

Listening to Angela's nonsense, Jessica over there finally couldn't help raising her voice: "Angie!"

"What's the matter?" Although there was innocence in her tone, Angela was already laughing wildly in her stomach.Jesse is such a cute idiot. If you want to call and ask how you are doing, just ask. Why do you have to beat around the bush?

"Okay, okay, I actually want to ask when you're coming back to Los Angeles, and I haven't seen you for a few months." Jessica said with aggrieved words.And Angela, who was still laughing inwardly because of her own prank, immediately put away her embarrassment and complacency, tapped the microphone a few times with her fingers, and then said softly with apology: "Don't worry, Jesse , although I have to be busy with my studies and the post-production of the film recently, I have been doing well. But... we may not meet until next year, although I will return to Los Angeles for a test screening in the middle of this month, but I will be back soon Boston. I'm going to find a way to make up for what I missed this year, and I'm going to spend Christmas in New York this year..."

Speaking of this, Angela couldn't help closing her eyes, and the churning in her heart couldn't stop.And Jessica over there had obviously expected this answer, and after sighing lightly, she opened her mouth again: "It's okay, you've always been so busy anyway."

Although she was very calm, the faint disappointment in Jessica's tone could still be heard. Angela couldn't help but feel distressed: "It's only this year, you know, because the filming cycle of "The Lord of the Rings" I starred in is very long, and I I have my own plans to run around, so this year is a good time to be nervous. But now I have finished my part and am adjusting my academic content, I believe this situation will not happen again this year."

"But..." Jessica seemed to want to say something but then closed her mouth again.

"But what?" Angela asked strangely.

"It's nothing," Jessica sighed softly, "That's it, Angie, I'll wait for you in Los Angeles. Not only me, Lindsay, they also miss you very much, especially Lindsay often Complain about saying that you promised her to attend the premiere of "Good Girl is a Big Star"."

"The release time is early, why is she in a hurry." Angela couldn't help but roll her eyes when she thought of Lindsay's bulging cheeks. If the other party was right in front of her, she might reach out and pinch her cheek.

In this way, the previous depressed atmosphere also disappeared.

"Okay, I won't waste your time." Jessica's laughter came from the phone, and after a pause, she said briskly: "By the way, Angie, if we have time, why don't we go together How about traveling? Go around the world and see different customs and customs, you can’t always bury your head in work or study like this?”

Hearing this, Angela couldn't help being stunned, and her heart ached for no reason.

"Okay, as long as we have time, we will go on a trip together." She replied in a low voice, and only after the busy tone came, she put the handset on the landline with dismay, and once again curled up on the high-backed chair and stared at him blankly. Trance ahead.

However, only a few minutes later, the phone on the desk suddenly rang again.Angela, who was taken aback, immediately sat up, staring at the phone angrily.

how?Natalie's next call?Angela picked up the receiver with a sense of inexplicable worry, excitement and excitement, but after the call was connected, the voice of an old man came from the other end of the phone.

"Rayleigh? It's so rare that you actually called me." Angela said in a teasing tone, but she felt a little bit disappointed in her heart. People are so strange.

"I hope I didn't disturb Miss Genius' actions, well, I definitely didn't." The old man said humorously, "Even if I did, Miss Genius would definitely not care about me, an old man, right?"

"Are you so sure?" Angela grinned, showing her white teeth, "Then what if I refuse?"

She easily guessed the intention of the other party. She already knew the news about the filming of "The Matrix 2" during the previous call with Kate.

"Are you really going to refuse?" Ridley was a little surprised, and then turned into a joke: "You don't really want to say no, do you?"

Angela was taken aback for a moment before she realized that she never said that she couldn't do it without herself.The failure of being up for grabs made the girl curl her lips, step back and throw out her own conditions: "Unless there is an accident, the filming will be completed within a week, and it is best to complete it in January next year. If I can do this, I will I agreed to audition."

Speaking of this, she couldn't help but raise the corners of her lips, did she fail?Then blackmail it.However, the expected hesitation did not appear, and Ridley replied very readily: "No problem!"

Hearing this short but powerful sentence, Angela raised her eyebrows. Why did she feel that she had fallen into a trap instead?
