Hollywood Secret Garden

Chapter 453 Going to Berlin to Continue Filming

"Eating...jealous?!" Angela twitched the corners of her mouth in disbelief.

"Yes, jealous," Natalie turned her head away and rubbed her face in annoyance, as if it was a very embarrassing thing, "It's different from the half-joking jealousy before, this time it's a real feeling Here comes...jealousy, danger and menace!"

Angela, who was sweating a little on her back, turned her body, made a sign of the sign of the cross with imperceptible movements - which is really rare - and decided to preemptively: "Hmmm - I think you mean Kate and Jesse? "

Natalie suddenly showed a wry smile, she waved her hand irritably and then replied in a weak voice with some dejection: "Yes, I don't understand...I really don't understand...how could...I shouldn't... ..."

"Dear Nat," Angela held her shoulders, "Do you know what my conclusion is? You are under too much pressure!"

Natalie was about to refute, but Angela then raised a finger and shook: "Okay, let me analyze it for you this time. You want to be admitted to Harvard but you are worried about your grades, so You are always suspicious when you do things. You are worrying about yourself, and it will affect your judgment after a long time."

"Don't be kidding, Angie, I have great confidence in myself. Even if I don't get the AP National Scholar Award like you, it's absolutely fine to apply to Harvard." Natalie said a little displeased.

"Really?" Angela raised her eyebrows, "Then why didn't you attend the premiere of "Star Wars Prequel"? Although I am in Poland, I am still clear about certain things."

"Because I have exams, AP exams, and I don't have extra time, do you want me to give up the exams and go to the movie premiere?" Natalie folded her arms and stared at Angela, her eyes were full of "You are a fool Is it like the word.

"Sorry, Nat, I happen to know the date of this year's AP exam." Angela smiled like a cunning little fox, "Do you think that even if there are 5 days between May 12 and May 5, it's not enough for you?" ?"

Natalie rolled her eyes: "I have to be fully prepared."

"Yeah, I am very confident in myself, but I am worried that I will cause problems in the exam because of attending the premiere, and I completely ignore the one-week buffer." Angela said triumphantly while pinching her chin .

"It's always good to be more rigorous." Natalie continued to roll her eyes.

"Of course, then why are you still worried after that?" Angela asked back, and then waved her hand again: "Don't rush to refute, let me ask you: Did you forget to take anything after getting on the plane? Are you Feel like you tend to think too much? Are you having trouble falling asleep when you're resting?"

"Yes, I did forget to bring my own comb, but it's normal. Everyone will leave one or two things at home after packing up when they go out for a long time." Natalie said defensively, "And I definitely didn't think too much about it. Sleep well too!"

"Really——" Angela dragged her voice, and Natalie stopped immediately, opening and closing her mouth, opening and closing her mouth again, so that a frustrated and unhappy expression appeared on her face after a few seconds .

"Okay, Nat, listen to me, it's normal for this to happen," Angela put away her smile and said in a reassuring tone, "You see I'm doing pretty well now, right? But you know what, There were several times when I fell into a kind of trance and couldn't help myself. I had to let myself be a completely calm bystander to record what happened, but once some emotions came up, they couldn't be stopped. Nat, you have to understand that rationality and sensibility are always intertwined, maybe you rationally think that you don’t have such emotions, but in reality?”

"Okay." Natalie was silent for a while before opening her mouth, "I may...do feel a little stressed."

She didn't know that Angela breathed a sigh of relief when she said this: It was really not easy, and she was finally coaxed. If it was Kate or Jessica, she would have given up pursuing it long ago.

Nat is sometimes too smart, too calm and too rational, Angela sighed in her stomach.

After finally diverting Natalie's attention away from jealousy and other aspects, of course she can't let her think about those things again, so Angela changed the topic to other places, such as the previous visit by Perlman and Williams and The conversation with Perlman that night included a relentless criticism of the "Cell Love" film.

On the one hand, Natalie was extremely envious, and regretted not being able to meet Perlman; on the other hand, she also agreed with and understood Angela's views on the movie.

"When women do something that no one else can do, the guys start digging into their private lives trying to figure out something to program. Even more outrageous, the understatement problem that occurs with men is the same. Once it appears on a woman, it will be magnified many times." Natalie said this, and then she comforted Angela a little: "Fortunately, you are not yet a strong woman."

However, for this comfort, Angela could only answer by rolling her eyes.

With the emergence of a huge group of relatives and friends, the actors of the crew also began to change their views on Angela. The serious and perfect woman before finally had the brilliance of a girl-this is what Brody said, and the price was in the restaurant. The part of playing the piano was repeated more than ten times.But how much will affect the progress of the shooting.

Spearman's scenes on the way to escape have basically been completed, while the scenes in the Jewish ghetto are all group plays. Even if everyone is not required to be professional, at least they can't show any flaws, right?

Although the four little ghosts don't appear on the set every day, as long as they appear, they will always attract laughter from the extras. If they don't adjust when the filming starts, it is certain to repeat it several times.

Fortunately, after a week, the mother and the others left, and there were three of Natalie and the others.Of course, Angela took the opportunity to chat with Kate and Jessica in private.Both of them are much easier to coax than Natalie. Although the two of them didn't say anything about jealousy, they each have their own dissatisfaction.

"I'm not angry that you didn't tell me... well, I'm really angry, and what's worse is that I don't know why!" Kate came to Angela's room when no one was around, and chatted for a while. After the sentence, he said a little depressed.

"Just because I told Nat, reminded Jesse, but kept it hidden from you?" Angela said innocently, "I think I've already explained it, and I even kept it from my parents."

After Kate sighed softly, she suddenly hugged Angela tightly, "I'm just... a little worried. We can't and dare not make it public, so I'm worried... maybe I'll lose you."

"It won't be like this, I promise, Kate." Angela said in a slightly absent-minded manner, "And...we will appear on the street aboveboard, for sure." Then she was gagged by Kate.

Many things cannot be turned back once the bow is fired, especially for a woman (man?) with a personality like Angela, who is always indecisive in the face of this situation, unless there is a major change.

"You're going to call Lindsay once a week and only write me or email me, what else can I say?" Angela said when she went to Jessica's room one night At that time, the other party complained with a flat mouth.

"Don't tell me you don't know why I did this, Jessie," Angela hugged Jessica directly in her arms, "I've always been worried about her, after all, she doesn't have a model father like you. "

"It would be great if I were really like my father." Jessica snuggled into her arms and snorted softly.

"Why?" Angela raised her eyebrows.

"Because—" Jessica approached her ear and exhaled, "I won't be soft on you!"

As he spoke, his hands reached out to Angela's ribs like lightning, and the two of them started laughing and joking.Of course, because of such and such circumstances, Angela just had a little time with Jessica, just like kissing with Kate did not surpass anything. Besides, her bed was already occupied by four little ghosts in turn.

Jesse is always gentle, Kate is always warm, and Nat is always sensible.Angela could only sigh softly in her heart, but the more conflicted she didn't want to let go, so she could only bury her head in the sand again until they left.

Angela immediately asked the crew to work overtime after their mother and the others left.

"The progress has fallen behind a lot, and we have to make up for it." She said to the staff of the whole crew in this way. Of course, things like overtime pay will definitely not be less. She has long said that all problems that can be solved with money not a problem.

In fact, the shooting progress is not as Angela said. Although it is behind, it is always within the plan's expectations. Planned—even once.Anyway, I have worked overtime before, but the intensity is not very high, so it is not a big deal to improve now.

"Great job, keep it up everyone!"

"I hope you will be more rigorous and serious in the future!"

During this period of time, Angela often went into battle by herself and yelled at the extras with the loudspeaker in Polish. It was a bit clumsy at first, but after a few times, she became very proficient—of course, the complicated command still had to rely on Others do it.So when she left Poland, the smoothest Polish she could speak was just these few sentences.

In addition to these, Angela also often exchanged ideas with the assistant director, several assistants, photographers, lighting engineers, etc., trying to find ways to adjust the camera and make better and more reasonable use of time.Among the extras, the Jewish people she knew were also helping out. In mid-July, although they didn’t exceed the plan as expected, the progress that had fallen was basically made up, so the only thing left was to shoot in Berlin.

In Berlin in 99, the government's relocation work was coming to an end. As the capital of Germany, it was no longer a misnomer, and the Brandenburg Gate standing in the city center was still one of the must-see places for tourists.

But Angela didn't come here for tourism, and shooting in Berlin was much more troublesome than in Warsaw.Most locations and sets in Poland could be used several times, but the shots to be shot in Berlin were too fragmented.There are radio stations in Warsaw, the streets where Spearman fled, the walls of the Jewish ghetto and even the prisoner-of-war camps. In many places, a lot of effort was spent on preparing props and setting them up, and then only one or two shots were taken.

Although Angela is a little depressed, she doesn't care. Anyway, as long as the actors are in good condition, props and scenery are still a matter of money. After taking a good shot, I quickly rushed over to shoot another one.

The only thing that bothers her is that there are many more reporters in Berlin than in Warsaw. Although Angela puts the filming locations in the old city or the suburbs, these guys who want to get exclusive news can still be seen everywhere with their keen sense of smell.

"Very good, well done." Angela applauded, and most people also applauded, whether it was the persecuted outside the barbed wire, the German prisoners of war inside the barbed wire, or the surrounding Soviet soldiers.

"Take a break now, and start after the prop masters re-set the scene." After ordering the set to be re-arranged, Angela walked towards Brody, who was talking with Clutchman.

"It seems that you have a good chat." Angela said with a smile.

"Of course, he saved my life." Brody pointed at Clutchman solemnly.

"The problem is, you failed to save my life." I didn't expect Krechman, a serious German, to have humor.

"God, it looks like the sun is coming out from the south today." Angela blinked, and then patted Brody's arm regretfully: "It's a pity that I don't have a DV in my hand. If it is recorded, it may be sold in a few years. A good price."

"No, no, no," Brody shook his head repeatedly, "If I have the DV in my hand now, I can sell it for a good price immediately."

He said and pointed to the blurred and flickering figures in the distant mountains: "They have been waiting eagerly."

"I'm sorry to tell you, Ed, they're not TV reporters," Angela folded her arms, "so if you want to sell the tapes you'll have to go to town first, and I'll kill you before then .”

Brody immediately raised his hands, and Kretchman burst out laughing and said, go to remove makeup and change clothes.

"To be honest, since your mother and your friends came to visit the class, you have laughed a lot more." Brody suddenly said this after a long silence.

"Why, was I scary before that?" Angela asked curiously.

"This..." Brody thought for a while, "Can I not say it?"

"If you want to wait for a record [-] times of NG." Angela threatened directly.

"I remember that you have been emphasizing the need to ensure that the actual progress meets the plan." Brody reminded.

"Work overtime, anyway, the clauses in the contract are clearly written." Angela didn't care at all.

Brody could only raise his hands in defeat again: "Okay, okay, let me think... To be honest, although I took this role without hesitation, it was mainly because you got the most Best Director nomination—I admit, when I first got the script, I doubted your ability to make a film of this kind.”

"Then why did you agree to come down again?" Angela asked, pinching her chin.

"I don't know," Brody spread his hands, "Maybe he wants to take a risk, after all, you are a recognized genius."

After a pause, he opened his mouth again: "Facts have proved that you are indeed a genius. You have a good grasp of movies, but you can't see the characteristics that a girl should have in your body. Well beyond your age, you were always serious and slightly sad until your mother came to visit."

Angela was silent for a while before speaking again: "What about now? Much better?"

"Most of the time it's still the same, like . . . for the scene where I'm sadly walking down the deserted and untidy street, you're still the serious director," Brody shrugged, "but in the resting At that time, you were indeed more like a girl than before, such as the joke just now."

There was another few seconds of silence, and then Angela smiled and pushed him: "Okay, let's start preparing. If you really NG twenty times, I will definitely kill you."

"Understood, Miss Director." Brody took a step forward and said with some amusement, followed his face and turned around, patted Angela on the shoulder and said seriously: "I can cooperate with you." It's an honor, Angie."

"Me too." Angela nodded with a smile.

She understands Adrian's feelings. In fact, if it weren't for her mother, uncle's family, and Kate to visit the class, she might become as depressed as Spielberg was at the beginning.And while filming the scene Brody just said—especially when Spielman came downstairs to her house and saw the dead bodies of two men and a child lying on the ground, Angela would inevitably Feeling in a trance, after all, the impact on her is double.

So from this point of view, the visit of the mother and the others was really timely.

Angela took a deep breath and put these aside, and waved her hand to signal the assistant director and assistants to continue.But sometimes it is so easy to find the door, because the scene was filmed in the open air in the countryside, so the next day's "Sun" published a photo and an article, the photo shows Angela and Boo Lody smiled and stood together, looking very close because of the angle, and seemed to be having a very happy conversation.

"After numerous setbacks, our reporter finally captured something useful from Miss Talented's set. Apparently, Angela has met a male friend who is worth talking to. I don't know how Gyllenshire in New York will be. How do you feel about it? Of course, maybe he will be glad that he doesn't have to suffer from fists and kicks anymore, but he doesn't know if Mr. Brody is mentally prepared for this..."
