Hollywood Secret Garden

Chapter 450 Heart Talk and Misfortune

The evening wind blew the curtains on both sides through the balcony, and Angela looked at Warsaw under the night with her arms folded.Although the night view here is not as good as that of New York and London, as a historic city, it also has its own charm.

Ding dong ding dong, the doorbell rang, and Angela brushed the messy hair around her ears, turned around, came to the door and opened it.Then she was startled a little: "Mr. Yitzhak... oh, Ian."

"What? You think I'm surprised to come to see you?" Perlman said with a smile.

"A little bit." Angela shrugged, and pushed his wheelchair to the middle of the room: "Do you need something to drink?"

"A glass of hot water is enough." Perlman looked around the room, "I basically don't drink beverages."

"You don't even drink tea?" Angela handed the water glass in front of him.

"Occasionally drinking some black or green tea is good for your health." Perlman took a sip and placed it on the coffee table.

"Indeed, it seems that I should also change my habits." Angela sat down opposite. "I often drink coffee, and I am even a little addicted. Because I need to use it to refresh myself a lot, and I hate cigarettes."

At this point, the girl curled her lips and seemed not to want to continue, so she changed the subject: "Tell me how you feel today? You must know that there are not many people outside the crew who can enter the set. How does it compare with Steven?"

Seeing her smiling face, Perlman couldn't help laughing: "You know, Angie, you are like a little girl right now, with 'compliment me' and 'compliment me' written all over your face."

"So what, don't forget that I'm only 19 years old this year." Angela said plausibly.

"It's you who made us forget your age, isn't it? However, you still have a childish side, which will reassure many people." Perlman waved his hand with a smile, "Okay, no Let’s talk about this. I don’t know how to direct a movie, so I can only tell you that, from the perspective of a layman like me, your handling is very good, and I suddenly have the urge to see this movie in the cinema. In addition..."

He paused for a moment before pressing it and said, "You played the piano very well today."

"Thank you," Angela smiled slightly. Although she was praised by the violin master, she was not overly excited. "The directing work these days has given me a slightly intuitive understanding of that period of history, so I feel that Brody After I didn’t play out the emotions I should have, I would want to play by myself and make a summary by the way.”

"In any case, your playing is very beautiful, as if you have used all your strength to perform it." Perlman sighed a little, and then asked: "But why did you play it again? And deliberately played it away at the beginning sound."

"Let's put it this way," Angela thought for a while, "When I played for the first time, I only figured out Spearman's mood at that time: at the beginning of playing, there should be confusion and fear of the German officers; Anger and sadness about my escape, misfortune for myself and my family; at the end, I came back to reality. It's much weaker than it was in the beginning."

Speaking of which, Angela spread her hands: "Although I integrated these feelings into the performance and aroused everyone's resonance, I ignored one problem: Mr. Spielman's physical fitness at that time. Even if his His musical literacy will not change, but his hands have been calloused by bricks and frozen stiff by the severe cold, so it will definitely not be very smooth when he plays at first, but when he keeps playing to find the familiar feeling That problem doesn't exist anymore."

Perlman was silent for a while, and finally applauded lightly: "I have to say, you observe very carefully."

"Actually, I visited Mr. Spielman before. Although his current physical condition is not optimistic, we still talked a lot. He has a positive attitude towards this part of the story." Speaking of which, Angela seems to be Thinking of something, he suddenly added: "He said that failing to rescue William Hosenfield from the prisoner-of-war camp was one of his greatest regrets."

Not understanding why she said that, Perlman had to cough lightly and change the subject: "It's really a pity, it's like this a lot of times. However, you did put a lot of effort into this movie, and you were meticulous. "

After a pause, he opened his mouth again: "You know, today's piano performance made me even more regretful. I have always thought that you might be the second Jacqueline Dupre."

"The second Jacqueline Dupre?" Angela looked at Perlman in surprise, "Did I hear it wrong or did you use the wrong word?"

"You heard me right, and I'm not wrong," Perlman said with a smile, "Many times..."

"No, no, Ian, no!" Angela waved her hand and interrupted Perlman impolitely, "You know, this statement is too exaggerated. You can say that I have reached Marta Agri With the potential of Ms. Qi, it can also be said that I have the possibility of catching up with Mr. Yehudi Menuhin, and even... you can say that I may become the second Yitzhak Perlman."

Both of them couldn't help laughing at this point, but Angela straightened her face immediately: "But you have to say that I am the second Jacqueline Dupree...I don't deserve it. No one...no one can be like her Same……"

Angela made several gestures and finally sighed: "Jacqueline is playing in a way that burns her life!"

"Although I heard her music when I was very young, I didn't really know her until I was 6 years old. At that time, I was involved in many instruments, but I was only interested in other than the three I was best at. I got a general understanding until I re-listened to her performance of "Elgar: Cello Concerto", "Angela recalled, "As others said, she let the cello break free from the restrictions of the role, it can be said that it was not her , I will not be the best at the cello after those three instruments."

Speaking of this, her tone began to become severe: "It's a pity that I can't see her, but she passed away in 87, and when she left this world in loneliness, her husband had already established new family."

"Well...About this, Angie, I want to say..." Perlman smiled wryly and wanted to say something, but Angela interrupted him with a wave of her hand unceremoniously: "Don't defend Barenboim, Iraq Well! On this point, I am on the same side with most of the British, what he fell in love with is Jacqueline music, he is a selfish and irresponsible man!"

Perlman made a rare movement of rolling his eyes, raised his hand and still maintained the previous wry smile.

"Actually," Angela's subject suddenly changed, "If it wasn't for my lack of influence, I would definitely find a way to block the damn movie "Cell Love"!"

"That's a really bad movie." Prayuman agrees, frowning.

"It's terrible? No, no, no, Ian, I think it should be shameless!" Angela shook her head again and again, "I only watched this movie after the Oscars, although I heard that you all have very good reviews for this movie. It's bad, but I think no matter how bad it is, it won't be too outrageous. But what I didn't expect was that it would be such a shameless movie!"

The corners of her mouth curled up in a mocking smile, making no effort to conceal her distaste for the film: "Sometimes I really want to pull Hilary Dupree into church and have her raise her hand before Christ." Then ask her if Jacqueline had sex with her husband at all! If a biographical movie can be made without the most basic truths in the name of art, can people also film A Roosevelt with his head in water, and then confidently telling the public that this is art?!"

Angela waved her hand vigorously: "I can imagine that when the children born in the 90s grow up, you ask them: Do you know who Jacqueline Dupre is? They are likely to answer: It is the brainless one who asked to share her brother-in-law A woman without principles?"

Speaking of this, Angela snorted coldly: "Let's put it this way, Ian, Anand Tuker is the kind of man who fanatically embraces the big golden letter 'Man'. Once a woman makes achievements that no one can make And when there is no doubt, this kind of person will take a roundabout way to criticize from other aspects, such as family and private life, and then infinitely magnify it, and triumphantly announce: Look, this is a woman and this is a genius.”

As the girl marked the full stop with a fierce tone, Si Ran became silent in the room.Angela let out a sigh of relief, it's no wonder she would have such a reaction, the huge gender contrast in her previous life and present life made her particularly sensitive to certain things.In fact, as long as it is a human being, once it achieves a result that no one can achieve, some people will definitely try their best to destroy her or him, think of Jacqueline Dupre, think of Michael jackson.

Angela knew very well in her heart that if she hadn't had enough family background, if her family hadn't used the "Los Angeles Evening News" incident to issue a warning as soon as there was a sign, what she would face today would be infinitely more complicated.

Maybe, I need something else.She said this to herself in her heart.

"Your reaction exceeded my expectations, Angie." Perlman opened his mouth softly, looking at the girl in front of him with concern.

"Sorry, I'm really a little too excited." Angela rubbed her nose in embarrassment.

Then she seemed to remember something and got up and went inside to take out the violin, bowed slightly to Perlman, put the violin on her shoulders, put on the bow and pulled it up.

The melodious sound of the piano flows from the bowstring, slow and sad, as if talking and sighing.It's a pity that the piece is very short, only about 2 minutes, and it doesn't sound very suitable for the timbre of the violin.

"It's beautiful music, a bit like classical music but not all," Perlman said savoring, "You wrote it?"

"This piece of music is called "Light and Shadow", which is adapted from the first 2 minutes of Offenbach's "Jacqueline's Tears". I don't know who adapted it and forget where I heard it from, but this sad melody is really It's very attractive," Angela smiled emotionally, "It was supposed to be played on the cello, but there is only a violin here, so I temporarily changed the way of playing."

"It's still beautiful, isn't it?" Perlman's eyes first fell on the violin in Angela's hand, "If I'm not mistaken, your violin is probably made by Pistoni."

"Yes, you are right, Ian," Angela handed the violin to him, "Mr. Pistoni made it himself, my first violin, and it was also a birthday present for my 5th birthday. It has been more than ten years Yes, the timbre is just right, but still much worse than 'Mrs. Tanna'."

"'Mrs. Tanna'?" Perlman blinked involuntarily, and Angela realized that she seemed to have slipped her mouth.

"Hmm...that...yes, Stradivari's 'Mrs. Tanna' is kept in my house...it was given to me by my grandfather when I was 18 years old." Angela said a little embarrassed .

"Have you ever played with it? I mean how does it sound?" Perlman suddenly became interested.

"I played it for my grandfather once, you know, for this kind of historic violin, the collection value is greater than the use," Angela said with a smile, "As for the timbre, from my point of view, it should be similar to that of Menuu. No match for the Saul Strady that Mr In gave you."

After a pause, she suddenly sighed: "I'm really sorry, Mr. Menuhin lives in New York, but I haven't visited him once."

"It's really a pity. May Yedi be happy in heaven." Perlman also sighed softly, and suddenly put Angela's violin on his shoulder, and raised his hand, a beautiful melody sounded, a brisk tune Changing to a refreshing feeling, the elegant and joyful music made Angela even want to stretch out her hands to follow the rhythm.

"It's great, you deserve to be one of the best violinists." The girl applauded immediately after the music ended.

Perlman smiled slightly, and handed the violin back to Angela's hand: "How about you play it for a while?"

"Did I hear you right?" Angela looked at him in surprise, "You asked me to open the door? You asked me to open the door in front of you?!"

"Just pull

That's all." Perlman's smiling expression was like an old urchin, "If you can't remember the music score, I have it there, and it will take a few minutes for someone to bring it over. "

"Are you going to laugh at me?" Angela yelled angrily, "You can't do this, Ian!"

"Could it be that the famous Miss Genius is so arrogant? To refuse an elder's request so mercilessly." Perlman smiled more and more cunningly, causing Angela to stare viciously with her mouth open. he.

"Okay," she finally gave in, picked up the violin a little depressed, "don't laugh at me!"

Perlman bid farewell to Angela and left Warsaw after lingering for three days, but Williams remained on the set.

"I have to admit, you have thought about a lot of things," John said seriously to Angela, "I am surprised that what you did made me impeccable, maybe... this movie will not be inferior to "Schindler's List" in the future .”

"I don't think so, John, I still have a lot to learn." Angela disagreed.

Although the shooting has been going on for a month and a half, the progress is not too far behind the original plan, but it is not too far behind. If it is really not possible, it will be enough to work a few more shifts when shooting indoor scenes later.But those messy fragments brought about by thinking made her head a little bit confused, especially through the ending of William Hosenfield, associating with John Rabe and Minnie Vautrin, she couldn't help sighing that Sim Dele is lucky, but at the same time he hates war more and more.

Although this slight confusion has not affected the shooting of the film for the time being, Angela is still a little uneasy.It felt like she was just learning how to ride a horse and might let it go at any moment.

Keep the reins firmly in your hand.After realizing this, Angela said to herself in her heart.

"So can I take it that you've promised me the score for this movie?" she asked right away.

"It's a pity. I thought I had made my statement by coming to Warsaw." The helplessness in Williams' tone made it hard to tell that it was pretending.

"Don't bully a girl like this, okay?" Angela snorted and glanced at him, "This is not something a gentleman should do."

"Okay, okay," Williams laughed, "I already have a rough draft, would you like to play it then?"

"Me?" Angela was a little dumbfounded. She suddenly felt that it was a wrong decision to record the perfect version of "Ballade No. [-] in G Minor" that day. "It's impossible, John, you know I'm still in charge of editing."

"Is it okay to only play the piano part?" Williams asked puzzled.

"I don't know, after all, I hope this movie will be released at the end of the year." Angela shrugged helplessly.

You must know that she still has a lot of things to do. Although she settled the record company with a selection album and an EP, she must go to the recording studio to record the EP, right?And "The Lord of the Rings" may start before the end of the summer vacation. Although it may not start shooting Legolas and the Fellowship of the Ring, she has not yet started practicing bows and arrows.

"If you must ask me to play, I can only ask if I can spare some time when I see it." Angela said to Williams in the end.

In short, it would be great if the shooting can be completed by the end of July.Unfortunately, sometimes things go wrong when you want to go well, and Angela unfortunately caught a cold during the filming of the scenes where Spearman labored on the construction site.

Because those scenes wanted to highlight the changes of the seasons, there were sunny scenes and rainy or snowy scenes, and when the fire truck was invited to "rain", because it was set to be light rain, Angela wanted to observe carefully. Some, simply put on a prop raincoat prepared for the German army and stood in the rain.

God knows how at night she started to feel sick, and then she was weak, and when she woke up she started to have a fever.

(Note: In my opinion, "Cell Love", that is, "She is Lonely Than Fireworks", is indeed a very shameless movie. It is a biographical sign, but it is almost completely inconsistent with Jacqueline's life. "Schindler's Although "The List" also has artistic exaggerations, Schindler did save so many people. This is the most basic fact.

Another thing: Jacqueline's "Light and Shadow", also called "Shang", what is going on, I can't find it on the Internet, so I made up a statement, please don't take it seriously. )
