Hollywood Secret Garden

Chapter 471 After the Release

On January 2000, 1, "The Pianist" was released in 5 movie theaters across the United States.This treatment is much better than that of "Schindler's List". When Spielberg's film was released in 1000, it did not reach 93 until three days later, and at most it was only 100.The debate surrounding her this year has really played a big role, otherwise, even with Ed's ability to persuade the theater bosses to extend the screening time of "Death Comes" and "The Grudge", they may not be willing to do so The increase in the number of theaters at the time of release.

The public is also very face-saving, even though many people have read the survey conducted by the "New York Times", and some young people have also expressed this opinion on the Internet-they think that the movie Miss Genius is boring, dull, and not good-looking, Only the soundtrack and the piano played by the German military officer are better, but they also agree that "The Pianist" must not be called a bad movie.

However, the major theaters were basically full on the first day of release. After all, there are not many movies that can cause quarrels on both sides of the Atlantic. After a year of fermentation, these key words are enough to arouse people's curiosity to see the beauty, so 19 million US dollars were received on the same day!

This figure is completely comparable to the one-and-a-half-week release of "Schindler's List", which is already a terrific figure at the box office among those dull literary films. No wonder some media couldn't help but say sourly "Young Pretty is good." This kind of saying.However, most of the people who make such voices are from the European media. Although the critics on the other side of the Atlantic basically know the situation of "The Pianist", after all, the movie will not be released for a while, and there is no way to see it again. There is always a little bit of embarrassment, maybe it's just such a miss.

The American media, which should have been arrogant and arrogant, surprisingly did not fight back at this time. They are now spending their time making up for their previous criticisms of Angela and interviewing other directors and actors. How can they have no time to control the guy on the Atlantic side? Instead of continuing to fight, it is better to "discuss" with them after the film is released in Europe. At that time, readers who come back to it will also like to watch it.

"It's a great movie, and Angela did some of the details better than I could. I'm excited to see another great movie about that history, she's a genius who can challenge anyone's imagination ’” Spielberg said in an interview with the media.

"She has extraordinary intelligence, maybe you will be confused by her beautiful appearance, and then doubt whether she has this ability, but after you cooperate with her, you will know that all doubts are untenable. "This is Brody Adrian's answer when asked about his impression of Angela on a talk show.

"As long as she decides something, basically there is no failure, because she always does it wholeheartedly." "Duchess" Julia Roberts, who was stopped by reporters on the street, replied with a smile, and with her Emma Roberts, the niece who was together, waved her fist at them and said mischievously: "There is nothing in this world that Angie can't do!"

Most directors and stars in Hollywood also spoke highly of "The Pianist" and Angela.As Angela's friends, James Cameron, David Fincher or Nicole Kidman, Kevin Spacey and others naturally praised sincerely.As for the others, because of jealousy, sympathy, or flattery, who knows?

"It's finally released, and I'm glad I can finally breathe a sigh of relief.

It's not really an entertainment movie, and I didn't bring it up for fun.I just want to restore what happened at that time as objectively as possible through the biography of Mr. Spielman.Of course, this is a film, not a documentary, and necessary modifications and artistic processing are still necessary.

Fortunately, it looks like I'm not doing too badly, and it would be even better if Mr. Spielman personally praised the film after its release in Poland.

I hope that more people will go to the cinema to watch this movie, and then go home to re-read the novel "The Pianist", and then carefully search for relevant historical materials, so that people may have a deeper understanding of that period of history.In any case, saving one person is like saving the whole world! "

This is the latest article on Angela's blog, which has been reprinted by major newspapers and periodicals with permission. Critics generally believe that this is for the German officer named De Hosenfeld.Spielman's son, Andrez, has asked Israel's official Yad Vashem memorial several times to honor D'Hossenshold with the title of International Martyr, but has been turned down each time.

The TV media also contacted Angela through various channels to ask her to be on the show, but they were basically declined as before, even for the Oprah talk show.

"I don't want to offend you, Op, but I really don't have much time, and I'm going to report to the crew in a few days-actually I should leave today, but it's been too long since I've been away from my friends , I had to ask the crew for a few days off. I want to leave all the time for them, so I am very sorry that I cannot agree." Angela said on the phone.

"Is that so? Well, I think I can understand. It's really a pity. If possible, I hope to know when you are free?" The other side said regretfully.

"Sorry, I can't give you a definite time, because the movie is filmed abroad and the cycle is quite long." Angela explained, "And I still have a lot of things to deal with."

"I understand. I hope to hear good news from you next time." The other side finally gave up the idea of ​​persuading her.

"Oprah is indeed an outstanding woman, I was almost tempted. It's a pity that I'm really not in the mood to be on the show right now, not at all." Angela curled her lips after hanging up the phone.Jessica, who was sitting next to her drinking coffee, couldn't help but rolled her eyes: "It's really sarcastic, many people who want to be on her show have no chance."

"If I'm on her show, should I consider other people's? Then how can I spend time with you?" Angela put her head on her crossed hands and looked at Jessica with a smile. "It won't be in the future. No chance, why bother."

"Yeah, for a person who can turn down the opportunity to be on the cover of "Time", what else is there to care about." Although Jessica said this deliberately, her eyes were full of tenderness.Angela gave her the same smile, and then looked at the two little guys who were still muttering: "How long are you going to dawdle?"

"Why are you in such a hurry, you said you still have time." Although Lindsay complained, she still sat down with her guitar in her arms, and Avril patted her shoulder encouragingly: "You can do it, Lindsay Race!"

The little girl nodded and smiled at her, and then turned to Angela.After Angela signaled to start, she plucked the strings and sang: "The dream that floated in front of my eyes, lingering in my heart, seemed to never reach the other shore..."

This is a country-style song, with the light guitar sound and Lindsay's slightly husky voice giving this song a different flavor.Angela, who was still smiling at first, gradually became surprised. She did not expect that Lindsay only gave Lindsay one-third of the original song and the general meaning of the lyrics, and the little guy actually made a song similar to the original song. song!

When the little guy sang "This is climbing" with deep emotions, Jessica, who was listening, couldn't help but beat the beat lightly, and Avril, who had helped a lot, He raised his hands happily.

Is it such a coincidence that I resonate with this melody because I am eager to prove myself because I don’t admit defeat?Angela looked at Lindsay with relief.This is great, my hard work was not in vain.

But at this moment, the sound of the music suddenly stopped, and Lindsay, who was singing, looked straight ahead and didn't know what to think.

"What's the matter, Lindsay?" Jessica asked with concern, and Avril yelled out in a hurry: "What are you doing, Lindsay! Why did you suddenly stop when you sang very well?! You Do you still want to pass the test!"

"Wait, wait." Lindsay held up her palms to stop their questions. A few minutes later, she showed an excited look, jumped up with her guitar and shouted at Avril Lavigne: "Give me pen and paper, Violet!" Vi, give me pen and paper! I think of a better line! I need to write it down! Now!"

"Huh?" The three of them, including Angela, were taken aback for a moment. That's why she stopped singing in a daze?Avril couldn't help but rolled her eyes: "If you still have memory, you should know where the paper and pen are placed!"

Lindsay was stunned and immediately ran to the original table and chairs, and at the same time shouted excitedly: "I'll be right back, this test doesn't count! I can come up with better things!"

Seeing her lively back, Angela smiled and shook her head, glanced at Avril next to her and asked with interest: "To be honest, Weiwei, how much have you helped her?"

"Who? Lindsay?" Avril couldn't help raising her eyebrows, "Why, you suspect that she cheated?"

"Hey, I didn't say that," Angela rolled her eyes. "It seems that I asked you to help her. I just want to ask how much you participated in, and how much she created herself."

"Lindsay did most of it by herself. I'm just a consultant. You know I'm better at rock than country." Avril looked at her strangely, "Don't you have any confidence in her?"

"Where did you come to such a conclusion?" Angela rolled her eyes again, she just wanted to verify her judgment.It was a coincidence, and a great coincidence!

Angela changed the subject: "Tell me about you, Weiwei, how is the new song receiving? I heard that the release date is July."

"It's already been prepared. Although I can't take care of my entire album like you, I have passed all five songs I wrote, and I can start recording next month at most." Avril Lavigne said enthusiastically.Then she looked at Angela with some embarrassment, and asked a little bit expectantly: "That...Angie, can you..."

Angela chuckled lightly: "I wrote two songs for you, and I have handed them over to the company. You will like them."

"That's great, thank you!" Avril immediately hugged Angela's neck and kissed her.

The girl accepted the kiss with peace of mind. Those two songs were original punk rock songs that she painstakingly tailored for Ai Zang'er, so they deserved the kiss anyway.

"After the millennium, the world of music will be mine!" Avril Lavigne declared with confidence.

"Really? Then postpone the release date to September with mine." Angela said so deliberately.

"Don't even think about it, I will surpass you, but not now." Wei Wei was not fooled at all, she rolled her eyes and said with a smile: "You know, Brit and Christine are going to have a concert this year, If you don't work hard, maybe they will surpass you before me."

"It turns out that I'm so easily surpassed. I never expected it." Angela smacked her lips pretending to be emotional.

"Hey, I'm just referring to the music, don't think about it." Avril Lavigne reminded.

"Don't be too complacent, honey, if I have time..." Angela snorted, and the subject suddenly changed: "It sounds like you have a good relationship with Brit and Christine."

"Not bad? Forget it, they are a popular group, just ordinary friends." Avril curled her lips.

"When did you start talking like that?" Angela couldn't help laughing.

Wei Wei scratched her head, and said a little depressed: "Brit, that guy knows how to show off all day long, like a child who doesn't grow up. Christine is a little better than her, but it's just a little bit. Sometimes I really I don't want to be with them."

"Do you think you have the right to say that women older than you are like children?" Angela asked with interest.Speaking of which, Britney always looks docile and well-behaved in front of me, and the wild and arrogant side is only heard from Christine and some staff members of the record company, so what are the two of them in Weiwei's eyes What does it look like?

However, Avril Lavigne did not describe her feelings in detail, but said a little strangely: "To be honest, Angie, I think there is something weird between Brit and Christine. They seem to have a delicate relationship."

Angela was slightly startled, but on the surface she still pretended to be nonchalant: "A delicate relationship? Probably because they live together so far, and the tacit understanding between them is relatively deep."

"Is that so?" Avril showed suspicion, she thought for a while before she said: "Anyway, I think something is wrong, I remember one time when I went to their house, Brit actually tried to kiss me... I think she Like seducing me."

"Wh... what?" Angela couldn't help feeling like she was about to sweat profusely, and at the same time she was a little annoyed. What was Brit thinking?Didn't Christine take a fancy to her?

Fortunately, at this time Lindsay called out: "Vivi, can you come and help me, it's just a few minutes."

"No problem!" Avril immediately ran towards her, and Angela couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

In any case, they are changing under their own influence.The girl said to herself, just like Lindsay can write lyrics and music similar to the original version of "Theclimb", probably because of her father, she has also smiled a lot recently—I hope Michael Lohan can hold on for a long time— —Maybe Brit's behavior was just a prank?but……

Angela sighed in her heart, and she thought about the meeting on Fifth Avenue that day.

"I didn't expect to see you here. It's a great honor."

"Ah, do you like this one? Then sell it."

"It feels great to walk on the runway. You don't have to worry about too many things, just show your good side."

Nikki was quite friendly to her that day, but Paris had a formulaic smile, her tone was lukewarm, and she was clearly repulsive.But after more than a year, she is no longer the little girl who would deliberately raise the price with Angela at the auction, and always naively show off in front of the "Miss Genius" to show off that she wants to be recognized. She is already a fashion magazine. A woman who can be described as glamorous and lazy.

Angela didn't understand why her unintentional actions had such a result?What happened after Paris and Nikki had a relationship?When the two sisters left that day, Paris held her sister's hand tightly as if the other party would disappear from her side at any time.Unsolvable problem... But maybe it's a good thing for Paris?

"Angie, why are you in a trance again?" At this moment, Jessica's voice brought her back from her wild thoughts.

"Huh? Oh, sorry, you know I always..." Angela spread her hands in embarrassment.

Jessica pouted slightly: "You're always like this."

"Okay, okay, I'm sorry." Angela put her arm around Jessica's shoulder and shook her affectionately.

"I don't blame you for anything." Jessica smiled understandingly, and then asked seriously: "Angie, if Lindsay meets your requirements, will you really write a script for her?"

"Of course, I don't care what I say." Angela raised her eyebrows proudly, "And it's already been prepared, don't worry, Jesse, I guarantee the little guy will like this story."

The script that Angela prepared for Lindsay is the movie "Good Girl is a Superstar" adapted from Disney's TV series "Hannah Montana"!She knows very well that the success of this movie has something to do with the popularity of the TV series. If it is copied directly, it will definitely be unacceptable, so Angela did not spend less effort when adapting it, such as increasing the little girl's life as a big star and making it more popular. Its conflict with ordinary life is slightly more acute.But the two core selling points—usually ordinary girls become big stars if they need it, and the interaction between father and daughter—Angela has retained and brought into play.

There are many youth idol inspirational movies in Hollywood every year, as long as the quality of this movie is a line higher than ordinary standards, and then there are some hype topics-for example, Miss Genius wants to return to ordinary people's lives and so on.The box office will definitely not be a big problem again, and the title of sweetheart will not be given to Lindsay.

As for the Disney TV series and Miley Cyrus...who cares!
