Hollywood Secret Garden

Chapter 437 New York Birthday Surprise

John Williams didn't speak for a while, he folded his arms and stood on the wall, frowning slightly, his eyes fell on the girl sitting on the sofa through the lens, full of surprise, doubt, astonishment and disbelief, while Angie La Ze also didn't speak while holding the water glass, but just looked back at Williams calmly and firmly.

"You mean the autobiographical novel by Valladisro Spellman?" The old man stroked the gray beard on his chin and said in a serious tone.

"Yes." Angela nodded seriously, and after thinking for a while, she said, "Let's put it this way, John, the publisher who released this book is one of my uncles, and I bought it from Mr. Spielman. When selling the adaptation rights and production rights, republishing this novel is also one of the conditions."

If it weren't for the fear of colliding with that book, it should have been released as early as 97.

John wasn't talking and lowered his head. He didn't know what he was thinking about, but his brows were getting tighter and tighter. After a long time, he raised his head and looked at Angela and asked with a sigh: "When did you start planning?"

"If I counted from this idea, it should be after I finished filming "Schindler's List"; if I started to count from the specific plan, it should be after I accidentally learned about this book when I was traveling in France." Angela put the water glass on the tea table and shrugged with her hands spread out, then said half-truth.

"What a crazy idea, you're only 18 years old." The old man waved his hand and said with a wry smile, "This is really crazy news. It took Steven ten years to compose Schindler's List on the screen! I know you are very good, and I think you should be nominated for the movie "American Beauty", but this does not mean that you can master this subject! There are many things that are not based on IQ It can be made up for! If you want to make a good film about the Holocaust, then what you have to do is to train yourself instead of trying to reach the sky!"

Listening to these, Angela just smiled slightly, she knew that John only said these things out of caring for her and loving her, of course she knew that this subject matter was not easy to manage.

But what could be more productive than learning by doing?The films chosen for the project from the very beginning serve the purpose of learning, not to mention adjusted.So John's persuasion didn't work in the slightest. On the contrary, Angela was sure of persuading him, because he didn't refuse outright.

"Well, John," Angela calmly took out a few floppy disks from her backpack, "Here are my script and a few shots, you can take it back and have a look first, of course, please don't spread it or Tell me you don't have a computer."

Of course, the script alone cannot convince John Williams. After all, a good or bad script of a movie will only play a part and the director is the key, so Angela met him again in the soundtrack master's office three days later. .

"I've read it twice, and I have to admit that it's quite good in terms of the script. It condenses the original novel just right, but..." John took off his glasses and pinched the bridge of his nose. He thought a lot during these three days : "A good or bad script of a movie only plays one-third of the decisive effect, and the director's skills are the most important. It's okay if it's other types of movies, but if you don't pay attention to this subject, you may have problems. The problem is that what you have to face at that time is not just a few criticisms. You are a genius, but geniuses also need experience!"

"I know," Angela nodded calmly, "What do you think are the characteristics of this novel, John?"

The old man couldn't help frowning, he understood that the other party didn't listen, but John also wanted to hear Angela's opinion, after all, the script was pretty good, so he raised his hand and made a question instead of answering. Please move.

"A true record made with an objective approaching a cold attitude," Angela replied word by word, her emerald green eyes flickering, "So, to put it simply, if it is to be made into a movie, it should be an artistic documentary! "

Before Williams could speak, she immediately went on to say: "I am very grateful for your concern, John, I know what I am doing. This subject is a difficult challenge for me now, but since I am in If I choose this theme at this time, then I have the confidence to do it well.”

Although Angela's tone was still so calm, the determination in it was extremely obvious, and the strong self-confidence revealed from it made it impossible to ignore the rules.

"So, are you willing to help me, my teacher?" Angela finally asked softly.

The old man's complexion was complicated, he looked at the girl in front of him without blinking, suddenly stretched out his hand and scratched it in the air, sighed lightly and then smiled in relief: "It's really amazing, maybe it's Spacey or Ray De Lidu once mentioned that you are always very confident about certain things, as if all the situations are under control, people can't help but want to follow you. Although this is the first time I feel it now, I have to admit What they said was true."

"So, you have already agreed?" Angela's tone finally brought a little joy.

"I can't say yes or no," John Williams raised his hands with an inexplicable smile, "reason tells me that it is impossible for you to challenge this subject, but intuition tells me that I am good at creating Marvel's Miss Genius might surprise again—the film hasn't even started yet, has it?"

At this point, Angela finally showed a smile: "I hope you can come to the set to take a look."

Although he didn't get a clear answer, at least the other party didn't refuse. At least half of the goal was achieved, so Angela was a little relieved, but the secrecy needs to be strengthened. Whether Ed or Williams listened to her All plans looked at themselves with strange and surprised eyes, so did the media and the public know about it?

At that time, I am afraid that laughing at one's own arrogance is the lightest attack, and what will grandpa say if he knows?Will the Jewish Association use the pressure of public opinion to ask itself to "treat it with caution"?Angela was thinking wildly for a few days, but she quickly adjusted her emotions and put them aside. As long as the filming starts as soon as possible and becomes a fait accompli, no one can force her to turn off the phone. will disappear if only...

Everything was proceeding in an orderly manner according to her idea. After Sparrow went back and forth between the United States and Europe three times, he basically collected the information Angela wanted, and the film department began to send people to Poland or Germany, In this case, Angela ushered in her 19th birthday.

"Happy birthday, dear." The godfather warmly hugged Angela, and then kissed her on the cheek.

"Thank you." Angela kissed back with a smile, and then looked at the young girl beside him with interest, "Who is this?"

"Eleanola Brooke, you can call me Ellie, Miss Mason." The other party extended his hand in a friendly manner.

"Nice to meet you. Please call me Angela or Angie." Angela smiled and shook hands with her, then raised her eyebrows at the godfather meaningfully. The godfather rarely brought his girlfriend in front of her.

"Ellie and I met in Paris a few months ago." Brian said calmly, and Angela didn't ask, anyway, there will be opportunities in the future, she immediately stretched out her hand and asked a little mischievously: "Okay , so what is my gift? You know, this is my first birthday in New York."

"I think you should like it." Brian conjured up a small beautifully packaged box and handed it to her.

Although she wanted to take it apart and have a look right now, Angela handed it to the servant beside her and made a gesture of invitation: "I'm sorry, godfather, your adult party is over there, and I want to share with my friends together."

It's rare to hold a birthday party in the garden of Grandpa's villa, but the scale is not large, it can only be regarded as a small party at best, and the people who come are either uncles and aunts in the family or close friends of the family, in addition to Angela's friends them.

"As long as you guys come, it doesn't matter if it's lively or not." Angela smiled and sat next to Natalie, as for the godfather, it's fine to go by occasionally.

"Forget it, you just don't want to be too ostentatious." Everyone laughed in Natalie's teasing voice. You must know that there are many reporters guarding the street outside at this moment, God knows if they will would sneak in.

After Angela visited John, she no longer stayed in the school. Although she still refused to answer the reporter's questions, her picture finally appeared in the newspaper, and the description of the picture was also very strange. "Miss Genius Appeared for the First Time, Depressed and Suspected of Too Much Pressure" and "Angela Disdainful, Disapproving of the Best Director Nomination" These headlines full of gimmicks temporarily boosted the sales of many tabloids.

"If being flamboyant can make many people admire you, then it doesn't matter if you are flamboyant; but if you can only attract flies by being flamboyant, then why bother?" Angela gave Natalie a "I'll see you later" look, and then He crossed his hands and looked at Scarlett, Liv, Ivanka, Annie, and Alizee in front of him with a smile: "Didn't you prepare a surprise? Take it out and let me see how big it is?"

"I promise you won't even be able to speak!" Scarlet snorted, "You know, I was taken aback at the time."

"Oh?" Angela couldn't help raising her eyebrows.

Several girls exchanged glances with each other, and suddenly got up and formed a semi-circle to block Angela. Although Angela was surprised, she still sat firmly on the chair and waited out of curiosity.

Immediately, the singing of "Happy Birthday" rang out. Although several people sang in a strange way, the flavor of blessing in the singing could not be concealed. Angela was also a little depressed while being moved. Just a surprise?

However, when the song "Happy Birthday" ended, the girls still stood in front of her and did not sit down. Angela was slightly taken aback and before she could ask, the sound of electric guitar sounded behind them, followed by clear singing.

This is an inspirational song, telling the story of a girl who worked hard for her dream and finally stood on the stage. Although the lyrics and singing skills are still a little flawed, the clear singing voice makes up for it all, especially the intense rhythm at the end of the song It was almost shouting, but this kind of singing had a special taste, which attracted the godfathers over there to look here.

"Be honest! When did you come here!" Angela jumped up as soon as the singing was over, bypassed the people in front of her and threw herself at the girl behind, and Angela heard it when she opened her mouth to sing.

Avril Lavigne didn't expect Angela to move so fast, before she had time to make a move, she let out a scream, and Angela took her into the cup with the guitar.

"Okay, okay, I won't run away." As the other party rubbed her face, Avril cried out sadly, but what she got in return was a kiss on her cheek. Can't help but feel a little dizzy.

"Tell me honestly, when did you come to New York." Angela stopped the urge to continue ravaging, and asked viciously with her eyes bent.

"Hmm... I came here a few days ago." Avril Lavigne said hesitantly, her blue-gray eyes turned around and refused to meet Angela's gaze.

"Really?" Angela showed a playful smile, then glanced at the other girls whispering next to her, hugged the petite girl into her arms again, pressed her forehead against her waist Showing a smile like a wolf grandmother: "You have three seconds to modify the answer."

It's a pity that Avril Lavigne, who wanted to confess, didn't open her mouth before Scarlett called out: "She came to New York half a year ago as an exchange student, and I just ran into her by chance in Central Park last month knew!"

Having been with Angela for a long time, Scarlett also knows her attitude towards "one of my own", so she "sells out" Avril without hesitation at this time. She screamed and fell into Angela's arms.

"Very good, you came to New York as an exchange student half a year ago, but not only did you not come to see me, but you also lied to me on the phone and email. You did a very, very good job." Although Angela said with a smile, her hands were on Avril Lavigne. The little girl's waist was kneaded and pinched without stopping, and the little girl was squeezed with just the right amount of strength until her bones were crispy, and she kept calling for help.

"Okay, Angie, do you think it's an honor to embarrass a girl who is four years younger than you at your birthday party?" Natalie persuaded angrily and funny.

"Of course." Angela said plausibly and her hands didn't stop, Avril Lavigne's voice of forgiving was filled with tears.

Fortunately, Angela suddenly thought of something at this moment, and shifted her gaze to Natalie and the others with a sneer: "If I'm not wrong, each of you has a share in deceiving me, right?"

Then, before they could defend Angela, she rushed forward.Immediately, the garden was full of screams, sneers, and shouting. Even if the table was knocked down, no one cared about it.

Angela, who was playing crazy, caught which one, and the innocent Ivanka still stood there and declared calmly: "I don't know anything, I didn't lie to you, they just asked me to help you."

It's a pity that she didn't see that Anne had already run away early. Even Alizee, who had been cold for thousands of years, quietly hid aside, so Angela still pressed her hands on the chair. Among everyone, only Scarlett was "betrayed" Avril Lavigne was not attacked, and at the same time, he followed Angela triumphantly and made trouble everywhere.

However, if you walk too much at night, you will always encounter ghosts. Where there is oppression, there will be resistance. Therefore, under the planning of Natalie's eyes and gestures, Angela was caught off guard by Liv, who was half a head taller than her. They hugged him firmly, and then the others rushed up and pressed the culprit to the ground. In the blink of an eye, the hunter became the prey.

Angela was still threatening at the beginning, she yelled: "Let me go, or you will all regret it!"

However, under the endless offensive, he quickly threw away his armor and begged for mercy, but it was obviously not very useful.

"Angie's begging for mercy is also very nice." Liv, who was pressing her shoulder, said with a childish smile.

"Then let her scream for a while longer!" Ivanka threw away her ladylike appearance in front of her parents, regardless of her status, her reserve, and her temperament, and gritted her teeth to keep everything she had suffered intact. What could be more satisfying than ravaging a billionaire on Angela?

"Why don't she scream louder?" Natalie sneered and pressed Angela's right hand, pinching her face from time to time.

"I agree." Alizee, who pressed her left hand, shrugged and followed briefly. Although Annie, who was sitting on Angela's lap, did not speak, she also shrugged her shoulders, looking like she was watching the show.

Although Scarlett was also in the queue to be liquidated, but because of suppressing Angela, it took up too much manpower, so in the end only Avril ran around chasing Scarlett in the garden. Unfortunately, she wanted revenge on Scarlett and Taking revenge on Angela, Scarlett couldn't catch Scarlett with a hesitant look.

Thanks to the garden here, if it is in the room, maybe the incident five years ago will happen again. It was fine when I was fourteen or five years old. If I was an adult and was spanked by a group of people, then Angela His face was really embarrassing.I have to say that she just has the magic power to make people lose their minds and go crazy with her.

The gentlemen and ladies sitting on the other side chatting did not care about the noisy garden.

"It's nice to be young." Old Mr. Mason said with a smile as he tasted the green tea he made for himself.

"Yeah, it's nice to be young." Brian echoed, shaking his head, he didn't know whether he was envious of those young women or regretted that he was no longer young.

"Bligh, your goddaughter... has always been like this?" His little girlfriend Eleanora asked in a low voice, which was really difficult for her who was also born in a big family. understand.

"You're right, honey, she's always been like this." Brian nodded slightly, and then grinned: "And everyone is used to it, geniuses, there are always things that are different from others."
