Hollywood Secret Garden

Chapter 519 Publicity

"If necessary, I need you to work overtime." Angela stood in the center of the editing room and said with folded arms, glanced at the surrounding staff and laughed again: "It seems that you are already mentally prepared? "

"Of course, since you went to New Zealand and asked us to wait by the phone, we knew that there would be such a day." An editor spread his hands helplessly, and the few people present at least started from "American Beauty" I just cooperated with Miss Genius, so Angela's words didn't cause much ripples at all.

"Don't be so sad," Angela waved her hand carelessly, "This time, I won't be in a hurry all day like last year. Although the progress is behind schedule, it is still within the acceptable range. So the content of overtime work is limited to Subtitles, dubbing, opening and closing credits, etc., I will completely leave these rights in your hands. Oh, yes, there are also trailers and part of the soundtrack, and I will submit Mr. Ennio Morricone soon Part of the soundtrack is selected and handed over to you."

"It seems like we should celebrate, and at the same time pray that Miss Angela's mentor will be stricter with her in the future," another staff member said jokingly, "At least she won't hold everything in her hands."

"If I were you, I would pray for that guy to graduate as soon as possible, so that he can free up time to polish slowly instead of pressing every day like this!" Angela raised her eyebrows, "Don't forget, if things can't pass my test All the words must be taken back and reworked. Therefore, if the progress is delayed, I don’t mind taking a few days off to supervise you in the studio.”

"Is this a threat?" The previous editor shouted in "panic".

"No, this is a warning," Angela said solemnly. "You can try to see if this warning is true or not. I guarantee that those who try will regret it very much!"

As she spoke, she showed a "sinister" smile, and at the same time clenched her right hand into a fist and waved it.And the few people who were already familiar with her style immediately began to chat with each other, exchanging opinions on work in twos and threes, treating Angela in the middle as air.

"I don't have any prestige at all, what a failure." Angela looked around and muttered something in a low voice, then clapped her hands: "Then that's it, rest now, we will continue in half an hour."

"No problem." This time they answered in unison.

Angela rolled her eyes and turned around to leave the editing room. She deliberately left a gap when closing the door, so the words of those guys were heard in every word.

"God, I have to work overtime again. I really don't know why Angela is in such a hurry to make the movie."

"Yeah, except for the production of "American Beauty" for three consecutive years, when there was a little more time, both "The Pianist" and "A Beautiful Mind" felt that 24 hours were used as 48 hours, especially "The Pianist" Late stage."

"What's interesting is that even in the face of last year's tight time situation, the quality of the movie is still maintained at a very high level. How did Angela do it? Isn't her judgment too amazing?"

"Who knows, a genius must be different from ordinary people."

"But this is a bit too much... It can be said to be a bit weird."

"Maybe her soul is male, otherwise how can she make a movie like this? And when she talks about it here, I basically don't realize that she is a female."

"You mean, you're gay? Otherwise, it doesn't explain why you didn't realize that this beautiful young woman in front of you is a woman."

"Damn it, shut up, you bastard, you know what I mean."

"What do you mean? You're trying to court Miss Genius? Come on, man, that's not realistic."

These guys... Angela rolled her eyes at the door, resisting the urge to push in.Forget it, let them do whatever they want, as long as they don't take it out and talk nonsense, it's considered venting.

The girl shrugged, not knowing whether it was helplessness or what, she turned and walked towards her office.Half an hour is enough for her to do a lot of things, such as the thesis is still waiting to be handed in.

"That's it, it should be in line with the professor's appetite." Angela muttered and typed the last character, raised her hands and stretched her waist, and then a glass of water was handed to her.

"Thank you, Lily." After taking the cup, Angela smiled and looked at the other party and said, but Alizee just nodded and sat back on the sofa to read the book again without saying a word.

Really, say one more word and not get pregnant.Angela slandered endlessly, and looked at Alizee carefully while drinking water.After not seeing her for another two months, she has become more and more calm. By the way, Anne has graduated from high school, and now Lily goes to school alone. I don't know if she is happy in school.And there is...

"Lily." Angela suddenly opened her mouth to listen, and the other party's tea-brown eyes immediately shot over with inquiries.

"Have you ever thought about..." the girl considered the words, "What will you do in the future?"

Alizee frowned slightly, and shook her head after thinking carefully: "I haven't thought about it, at least not yet."

"Why didn't you think about it?" Angela showed surprise, and then turned into worry, "Everyone should have a goal they want to achieve, right? Regardless of the long-term or short-term, there is hope if there is a goal Only with goals can there be faith and goals can there be motivation. If a person doesn't even know the goal of her own efforts, what else can she do?"

Angela came to her senses after the whirlwind was over. She looked at Alizee with an embarrassed look, and scratched her nose in embarrassment: "This... sorry... Lily, I'm... a little excited... "

And Alizee, who had been staring at Angela's foaming mouth in a bewildering bewilderment, suddenly burst out laughing when she saw her suddenly become like this. That iceberg-thawed smile was enough to move anyone's heart, so Angela was dumbfounded.

Alizee seemed to realize something and immediately put away her smile, returned to her usual calm appearance, and replied in an indifferent tone: "The short-term goal is to graduate smoothly, while the long-term goal is still under consideration and selection. "

"So... have you considered going to college?" Angela asked after thinking about it, and then explained a few words after her: "It's just a question, if you don't want to answer, then don't answer."

"I won't think about it, I still know you after we have been together for so long." Alizee replied calmly, raised her head and thought carefully for a few minutes before she spoke again: "It hasn't been formally decided yet, and it doesn't have to be now Going to college, I agree with Anne on this point. It’s just that I don’t know what to do if I don’t go to college.”

"So..." Angela's eyes flickered, "Have you considered becoming a singer or an actor?"

"Singer or actor?" Alizee turned her gaze to Angela, "Why?"

"In this way, I can provide you with some help," Angela did not deny her intention, "After all, I still have some right to speak in this circle, and I think you have that potential?"

"Have that potential?" Alizee's tone was sarcasm, "I don't think any movie or music producer would like me, a girl who can't even smile."

Although a little embarrassed, Angela still looked at the other party calmly, she believed that Lily understood what she meant.

And Alizee, who finished speaking in one breath, stared at Angela for several seconds, and then sighed softly: "I don't plan to make changes in some aspects, but you don't need to make too many associations, I know What are you doing?"

This line is so familiar.A feeling of helplessness emerged in Angela's heart.There was silence in the room, and after a while, Alizee asked again in a low voice: "Angie, if... I mean if..."

"What?" Angela quickly raised her head.Although the other party looked at him with piercing eyes, his opened mouth closed again, with a hesitant expression as if he was thinking about something.Finally she shook her head: "It's nothing, let's talk about it later."

Really unhappy guy.Angela's brows furrowed slightly, and then smoothed out.Forget it, anyway, she still has two years before graduating from high school, or she can ask Annie to help her find out.

Just when she was thinking this way, Alizee reluctantly spoke again: "What is your goal, Angie?"

"My goal? I'm so disappointed, I thought you knew." Angela said rather "grievously", but Lily didn't respond, she just watched her quietly and waited for the next sentence.In this way, the girl could only wave her hand discouragedly: "The short-term goal is of course to make "A Beautiful Mind" as perfect as possible while ensuring the basic credits. In the long-term..."

Having said that, she suddenly stopped, and her eyes became distracted. After a long time, she replied softly in a daze: "Direct a movie that I really want to direct."

Alizee raised her eyebrows with a strange look in her eyes, while Angela, who came back to her senses, smiled and shook her head with her index finger on her lips.This action is enough to explain the situation, so Alizee didn't continue to entangle, but she immediately asked another question: "So, what about the goal in another aspect?"

"Another aspect?" Angela was stunned for a moment, and soon understood what she was talking about, and her face couldn't help but become a little ugly.

However, Alizee, who started the conversation, didn't explain anything, she just stood up and said, "If I have nothing else to do, I'll go back first. There is a party held by a classmate tonight, and I want Annie to accompany me."

Angela bit her lip and looked at her for a long while before sighing: "Then you go back first."

Alizee nodded and quickly packed her things, then sorted the scattered documents on the desk, and then turned and walked out.At this time, Angela covered her head angrily, and growled in a low voice: "Damn it, it was finally thrown behind my head and turned out again."

Of course she knows that Alizee has good intentions, and it is impossible to hide these things forever, but... and now she is still entangled with Liv...Damn it, I just went to drink whiskey because of a short circuit in my head, what did I say that night? what?Angela thought depressed and worried.

There will be a way, there must be a way.So far, she can only comfort herself like this.

If you are restless in some aspects, the best solution is to divert attention, such as the post-production work of "A Beautiful Mind".Compared with last year, although the time was tight, Angela was still only in charge of editing - Ennio Morricone, who was invited for the soundtrack, is also a master composer, and the soundtrack for the film met the requirements very well.And the theme of "A Beautiful Mind" is not as heavy as "The Pianist", and those miscellaneous items are fully entrusted to others, so it is easier.

"I don't think I'll ever take on that kind of movie that lasts more than a year. Unless I have a lot of free time, it's not a good thing for the crew or myself." In the stage play " When visiting Natalie in the backstage of Seagull, Angela said so confidently.

"You're just talking about this now? I bet you should have known the length of the filming cycle when you auditioned, and your work for the past two years must have been prepared. But you still participated in the filming, so... ..." Scarlett, who was grabbed by Angela and came to cheer, followed her to the backstage, spread her hands.

"You should know, Manny, this is Angie's habit." Natalie stood by Scarlett.

Although she really wanted to refute, but in the face of a two-on-one situation, Angela always shut up obediently.

Time quickly turned to November 2000, and Thanksgiving was still spent at grandpa's house. For Angela, it was undoubtedly a happy thing to enjoy the turkey dinner made by grandma.Especially at this time, grandma would always cook some authentic Chinese dishes for her, which really made her salivate.

At the beginning of December, the number of reporters outside Cambridge gradually increased, and many even dressed up and wandered around the campus.As for the reason, of course it is because the first trailer of "A Beautiful Mind" has already appeared on major TV stations.This movie has attracted a lot of attention from the beginning of filming, and everyone is curious about the chemical reaction that the two geniuses can have together.It's just that Angela made preparations early, using the method she learned from Peter to firmly keep the paparazzi out of the set.

Even if the Princeton students revealed something about the plot, even if the tabloids used photos to claim that Angela and Kate were at odds, even if Angela once dismissed Cello on the blog, it would only make the public more curious.

It can be said that Angela has become a phenomenon since the release of "The Pianist", an inexplicable and elusive phenomenon that challenges the imagination.So from this aspect, it is inevitable and understandable for Ed to use her as a free publicity tool!
