Hollywood Secret Garden

Chapter 413 Trivia

"If you don't mind, can I sit here?"

"I don't mind." Angela said without raising her head, still looking at the book in her hand.

"But, Miss Mason, there are no other spare places around here, and here is only..." Before the other party finished speaking, Angela closed the book and stood up directly: "Then I will let you go."

Since she dared to strike up a conversation, she had to be prepared to be rejected. She glanced at the embarrassment of the other party, packed up her things and quickly left the bench under the shade of the tree. Then, let me go to the head office of the cafe.

After finding a small round table by the window in Fred's Cafe and sitting down, Angela ordered a cappuccino and opened her book again. Even if someone strikes up a conversation in the cafe, she won't be too shameless, after all, here The people here are relatively dense and men still have to face, especially after Angela mercilessly mocked a few people in the cafe, it became a safe haven, so whenever Angela was entangled After getting bored, she will run here and stay here, but today she still can't find peace even in the cafe, not because of the boys' flirtations but——

"Is that Miss Genius? She looks so beautiful, completely different from ordinary American girls."

"She is a big star and rich man, not an ordinary American girl."

"I know this. I went to the cinema several times last year. I know that she sang "My Heart Will Go On" and that..."Peacock Flies to the Southeast". Liu Yu and the others also told me that she was born in a wealthy family... "

"Don't look at her with the things you have come across in China, idiot. Do you know why she is called Miss Genius? She earned more than 6 billion personal property for herself when she was 10 years old. Do you understand, it is personal property!"

"And he is proficient in acting, singing, screenwriting, and directing. Otherwise, how could he be called a national idol in the United States."

"Damn it, so if someone marries her, they won't have to worry about eating and drinking for the rest of their lives."

"Fool, you think you can marry when you say you want to marry. Obviously, if a rich family like her wants to marry, it is the right marriage."

"I don't think any man dares to marry her. It's not like you haven't seen that the people who want to strike up a conversation with her are ridiculed. There are also many children from wealthy families."

"Who knows, the smarter a woman is, the more stupid she will be once she falls in love with her. You probably know that some people have already made bets on dating, falling in love with Miss Genius, and even—sexing!"

"Don't those people feel a little boring... Speaking of which, why don't you try it? I'm not joking. Hasn't she taken the initiative to chat with Zhang Yue and the others for more than a month? And American girls are very open, I Bet she's not a virgin, maybe just trying to get exotic."

Although the voices of these boys are very low, they communicate in Chinese. Even though the environment is not very quiet, they still fly into Angela's ears like fireflies in the dark night.At the beginning, she didn't pay much attention to it, but it became more and more unbearable afterward, and she couldn't help frowning deeply, and even a few fine wrinkles appeared on her usually smooth forehead.

It seems that they need to teach them a lesson.Angela thought coldly and looked at the time at the same time, it happened that the class was not far away, she could go to the classroom a few minutes earlier to read the rest, so——

"Sorry, classmates." She stood up with a harmless smile, walked to the small table not far from her in two steps, and looked at the few Asian faces sitting there, "Can we talk again next time?" Keep your voice down?"

Ignoring their already petrified faces, Angela smiled and continued in Chinese with a straight accent: "I know you all did a good job and maintained proper etiquette in public, but I'm just a little too sensitive. I still hope that next time, please keep your voice as low as possible, of course, if you think my request is a little rude, please ignore it."

Fine, that's it, and leave before they know it.In fact, Angela did the same.After taking two steps, she still couldn't hold back and turned around to look at the "stone statues" that were about to crack with sympathetic eyes: "Since you know that I sang "The Peacock Flies Southeast", why didn't you think of it?" Can I still speak Chinese? I should be able to check my AP Chinese score, right?" Then she walked out of the cafe with big strides.

Angela laughed wildly after leaving the cafe. Thinking of the hellish situation of those students, she couldn't help but want to crawl on the ground and hit the ground hard.And even now, thanks to the fact that she covered her mouth and lowered her head while shaking her shoulders violently, otherwise passers-by would definitely think she was insane.

After laughing, although I feel that the recent depression has been swept away, but at the same time there is a little sadness that I don’t know how to describe. If it is because of the existence of certain things in 96 that she ignored, then before The dialogue has made her further aware of the insurmountable gap as wide as the Pacific Ocean.Yes, further, Angela is not unaware that she just doesn't want to admit it, which is why she likes to chat with Harvard Chinese students.

It's okay, this doesn't affect my determination to carry out the plan, Angela said calmly to herself, I know what I'm doing and what I should do.

After finishing the afternoon class and hiding in hiding, she came to the temporary studio again. Although the number of paparazzi chasing and intercepting outside these days has increased unabated, it is still going smoothly. As for why she and Jonathan both said yes Even if we broke up peacefully, there will still be so many reporters coming...

"It's normal, and I like it after listening to it." Steven Soderbergh smiled reassuringly on the screen.

"Then shouldn't I just say something, I'm honored?" Angela twitched the corners of her mouth.

"Even if I want to say that, I should be the one who said it." Steven said very seriously, and at the same time picked up the newspaper and shook it in front of the screen: "Look, the critics think this is your best writing so far a song."

Angela couldn't help but rolled her eyes. Of course she knew this. It's not like Boston couldn't read the newspapers. Although the EP was released very low-key and there was almost no publicity, but where is Angela's identity? Their sense of smell is not generally sensitive, so they reported it immediately, and then praised it with unanimous praise.

"Another piece of heaven, Miss Genius never ceases to amaze." - The New York Times

"Impeccable from lyrics to singing!" - "USA Today"

"It's a beautiful dance of sadness and hope, of assertiveness and subtlety." --Los Angeles Times

The "Hollywood Reporter" article is the most detailed among all print media: "...according to reliable sources, Miss Angela has devoted considerable effort to "Angel's Gaze", and Eric White, who is also a producer, also admits I have never seen her so serious, it seems that she has used all her energy to make this song. To hear such a beautiful singer and music, I can only say very Eric They are right, if Miss Genius is willing to be serious Treat yourself to a music career..."

In short, even if there are a few critical voices, they are not on the point, but more like nitpicking. Fans also like this song very much. Some people even say that even if they listen to it more than ten times a day, they will find it beautiful. The only problem is It's easy to sing but not easy to sing well, but this leaves room for another song on the EP, and Angela is secretly relieved that if everyone focuses on "Angel's Gaze" If she ignored "Flying Polka", she would be very depressed.

But just because the song is excellent, paparazzi don’t need to guard the vicinity of Cambridge like this, but the problem is that the British “Sun” immediately claimed that this song might be written for the late Princess Diana, So all the reporters realized that whether Angela admitted or denied it would be a piece of news worth writing.Oh, Miss Genius, you are a veritable topic maker, you can always find news on you!then……

"To be honest, I really want to know who you wrote this song for? Can you tell me if you don't mind? I promise not to disclose it to the media." Steven said with a smile, the occasional signal interference made him His face looks distorted.

"Please pay attention to the current time, Mr. Soderbergh!" Angela glared at the videophone screen. If it doesn't matter if it's an unnecessary waste, then we can change another day!"

"Okay, let's start now." Steven immediately changed into a serious look, and Angela was stunned for a long time by the quick change of expression, and it was not until the man over there tapped on the screen that he came back to his senses .

"Oh, I think Snow brought the master tape, basically I have no objections..." Angela said as she signaled the staff next to him to turn on the TV. She was a little puzzled, although she and Steven I don't know much about his attitude at work, but why are you making fun of yourself for no reason?

But Angela quickly put these things behind her. Now work is the key. It is necessary to ensure that "Never Compromise" will be released at the end of the year, and "American Beauty" will also be released at the end of the year as much as possible.

The edited picture on the master tape lasted about 20 minutes, and there were basically no major problems. Steven answered those small questions over the phone. Although there was an argument at the end, Angela was still convinced by him. It went well.

After the call ended, it was naturally the later stage of "American Beauty". Although the editing was still progressing quickly, the soundtrack was still the same, although Angela had already completed half of the tracks.

"It's okay, there's still time." Angela said to Anne when she was staying outside as usual. Not every track will appear in the movie in its entirety. You can re-arrange the finished music and add it, but then you have to be more precise about what music to add in which scene. In short, there are shortcuts, but it is not easy.

Angela finally accompanied Benita to the sisterhood party this Saturday. In a dormitory building in the northeast corner, the administrator allowed them to use the meeting room for the party.The president of the sorority is Hannah Makepeace, not very beautiful but very attractive, especially when she wears ribs among the men at the party, she obviously doesn't do anything provocative, but her gestures are always Can catch their eye, doesn't care to mingle with men but always pulls back before they cross the line.

She's an ambitious and measured... woman.Angela commented on the other party in her heart. After learning that Miss Genius was attending the peripheral party of the sisterhood, she came to arrange it in person. During the reception, Angela felt comfortable but not flattering. She knew how to attract men's attention and knew It's best if you don't get it, so that kind of comment is not bad at all.

However, Angela still feels that this woman can be dated. She is only a woman after all and the society is dominated by men. Even if Angela herself does not have the accumulation of the previous life, if she is not willing to do so in this life, she will have to become a character like Hannah.

Although there is a little affection for Hannah and her sisters, it does not mean that Angela will like this party. Although the decoration is not bad and the food is delicious, the environment is really noisy, and it seems that everyone wants to put their enthusiasm Released, of course, the role of alcohol is indispensable-after all, this is not a public place.

It's fine if it's just like this, but Angela has the feeling of wanting to collapse when the heavy metal rock sounds. She likes rhythmic music, but it doesn't mean that she likes this kind of thing that is basically the same as noise in her eyes , No, you can hear the complete rhythm after listening to the noise for a long time, but there is absolutely no such thing, so heavy metal rock is not even as good as the noise!I don't know that these partygoers are still so energetic. Are they all on ecstasy?

Well, Angela doesn't like heavy metal music. Fortunately, the whole party didn't play this kind of "scary" music from the beginning to the end, but this doesn't mean that Angela can be relieved. There are still people without music harassment.There were not only frat members at the party, but also many other male members, so she was approached a lot more than she had been in the previous week.

Angela admitted that if you look at it calmly and objectively, some people are still handsome and have good conversational skills, and they are very good at making girls happy.But when these things happened to her, she felt really sick and uncomfortable, and her "radar" became extraordinarily sharp because of this, and the goosebumps never disappeared from the very beginning.

"God, don't let me go to parties like this again." Angela rolled her eyes at Benita after returning to the dormitory.

"Why? Did someone upset you?" Benita blushed with excitement. She had a great time tonight.

"It's okay, I just think heavy metal rock is... terrible." Angela sat on the sofa and sighed.

"Don't worry, this kind of music isn't often played at sorority parties, so let them play something else next time." Relieved, Benita poured two glasses of water, and handed one to Angela herself. .

"Thank you." Angela took it, and then said with a moan: "Don't tell me there will be another time, I've had enough tonight! Did you see that? Those guys are buzzing around like flies If it is normal, you can wave them away with a wave, but in such a small space, even if you drive them away for a while, they will come back."

"That's because you are so attractive. Everyone wants to be favored by Miss Genius. Besides, you have broken up with your boyfriend now. Doesn't this give them a signal?" Benita said with a smile, "You must know that I am still the first Seeing Hannah look jealous once, though only for a few seconds."

"Now I'm wondering if you've taken some people's favors, so you came here to lobby for them." Angela raised her eyebrows, "If I haven't forgotten, you told me that some boring people take I'm gambling on the target."

"But you can't stop having a boyfriend because of this, can you?" Benita spread her hands.

"Under this situation, how do you let me make a boyfriend without worry? God knows what he is thinking, and I am very busy." Angela raised her eyebrows while sitting upright, "If you want, help me Get the news out."

"Okay, Miss Genius, but I don't guarantee that those guys will stop." Benita shook her head incomprehensibly, got up and went to the bathroom.

"It's okay, I'm just expressing my attitude." Angela yawned and started to go to sleep.

As Benita said, even though Angela expressed her attitude semi-openly, there are still people who tirelessly want to get close to her. Of course, the approach methods have become more subtle and polite.It's not that Angela doesn't know the meaning of the phrase "what you can't get is the best", but she is really too lazy to pretend to be false now.

Maybe get a boyfriend in California as cover before breaking up with Jonathan?Angela often thinks this way, and of course it's just a thought, how can she be so lucky to meet a gay man who needs to be hidden.

Although I have to be busy rejecting people in school and rushing to work on movies outside of school, there are still interesting things in life. For example, several Chinese students apologized to her through her tutor, Mr. Candita Best.

"They said that they said something that offended you unintentionally before, and it is not convenient to apologize in person, so they say sorry to you through me, and hope you can forgive them." The old professor shook his head while talking, "I don't know what these Chinese people are thinking. What, it's just an apology, there's nothing wrong with it."

"It's normal, Mr. Candieta," Angela struggled to hold back a smile as she recalled the situation at that time, "Oriental people are relatively reserved, I can understand."

"So are you going to forgive them?" The old professor shrugged, "Or let them apologize in person?"

"No, no need, it's too embarrassing for them. Please tell them that I didn't take it to heart, because I believe many people have said similar things in private, but I just heard them ,that's all."
