Hollywood Secret Garden

Chapter 390 The Most Precious Gift

Whether Kate's party for her had the desired effect is really hard to say, anyway, Angela slept in her bedroom until midnight the next day - she didn't stay there - and had breakfast Afterwards, I went back to sleep and took a rest to recover most of my energy. However, since Monday, whether it is watching AP textbooks or supervising two movies, the efficiency has improved a lot, and even the words on the blog have become lighter. Not much, so people around jokingly suggested that she could relax like this a few more times.

Although Angela also jokingly agreed, she was beating drums in her heart. If you want to relax, you'd better choose various sports or camping. If you have a party... First, she is not a party animal; second, she There are not so many favors to sell.

It would be nice if two people talked privately and brought it up by themselves.Angela couldn't help thinking like this, and now she still has a script of "Never Compromise" to start writing, and she has to visit Ms. Irene again, how could she have time to write other things, it's really depressing .

As for the agreement with Lindsay, there are still two years left, and besides, I have already prepared it.Angela already had this idea a few years ago. After all, "A Couple Born" is already her own work, and it would be very bad if it affected Lindsay, so she found a "treasure box" that was still worth it. A pretty good script is going to be left for her, and the heroine can sing and dance well, so she can just urge Lindsay to learn more, but because of her age, she has to grow up a bit.

But Angela didn't know how to tell the little girl until that night. At the same time, Angela also hated her parents even more, and often played roles in horror movies?Hell, don't they know she's a kid?Don't they know why she is favored by advertisers?

What makes people happy is that Lindsay agreed to Angela's request without saying a word, hoping that she would do what she said.

Leaving this aside, since she promised Naomi she must keep her promise, so Angela chose and chose "50 First Dates", but if she wanted to finish it, she would have to wait at least a few months.

At the end of February, the Grammy Awards ceremony should be held, because the soundtrack of "Titanic" was released early last year, so "My Heart Will Go On" was shortlisted for the best single of this year, and the judges did not convulse. Angela was reelected smoothly again. Of course, the nominees for Best Female Singer and Best Album went to other companies as in the previous two years. Grammy judges are the most interesting, aren't they?

As for this Oscar, Angela originally planned not to go. Although "Memento" was nominated for the best original screenplay, she immediately gave up after reading the nomination list. The script of "Memento" is not very outstanding is one reason , Another reason is that one of the opponents this year is "Good Will Hunting"!

But in the end she still had to go. After all, it was Oscar's ninth birthday. How could she, a talented young lady who had set many records, be absent, and I heard that Mr. Gregory would also attend.

Of course, Angela still has a very important thing to go through before that-she is finally going to be an adult for the second time, which is really a memorable event. How many people in this world will spend two 18 years old?And it's 18 years old of a different gender!

Well, let’s not talk about that, after turning 18, although there will be a lot of troubles, there are also many things to be happy about, such as drinking and smoking in public places, going to casinos, strip clubs, adult clubs, or openly recruiting prostitutes - don’t be stupid , that has to wait until the age of 21.All I can do now is to watch NC-17 movies or porn movies, go to polling stations to exercise my right to vote, and run for mayor if I want to. Of course, I can join the army and become an American soldier.

But Angela lacks interest in these things. She has always hated politics, and the US military is not a fun place. Even if there are exaggerated elements in "West Point Revealed", it is not something she can bear.

In addition to these, Angela can officially move out, but even though she has a net worth of more than one billion yuan, she still does not have her own house. As for cars and yachts, they are all owned by her parents. After raising the money, it was proposed that some expenses could be shared gradually, and the parents agreed.In fact, Angela does not plan to go out independently after the age of 18. Even if there are more than ten people living in such a large villa, it still feels deserted. If she wants to buy a villa, she will definitely not be smaller than her own. Anne used to go, so it is better to live at home, because she is more home-loving in certain things.

And what Angela wants to do most is to be able to officially and legally own a gun and join a gun club. Although she can buy a gun at the age of 16, her father hopes that she should be more cautious in this regard. After all, she is a girl and a public figure. .In this regard, Angela is still very obedient. When she was a child hunting with her grandfather in London, she touched a shotgun and even tried to shoot a few shots, but she also knew that this thing needs to be treated with care based on her current body.

With a swish, the girl opened the curtains, and the sunny spring had arrived. Angela stretched lazily in front of the sun, let out a comfortable breath, walked to the closet, opened it, and began to choose clothes, although the closet It is very big, and there are many colorful clothes, but compared to girls from rich families of the same age, there are very few of them. Many of them have a room dedicated to putting clothes.

"Obviously, I'll never learn this." Angela muttered and found out what she was going to wear, then took off her pajamas and packed them in front of the full-length mirror, and sat down in front of the dressing table.Some things can be learned, such as makeup, dressing up and various etiquettes; but some things can never be learned, such as shopping and shopping.

This is her nature, this is her comment to herself, which is somewhat self-deprecating.Although there are only a few of the models in the cabinet that have been assembled, most of them are due to lack of time, unlike dolls and dolls that have not been moved after being put into the cabinet.

"What's the use of thinking so much, tomorrow will be a woman." Angela shrugged, adjusted her clothes in front of the mirror and brushed her long hair, giggled, rolled her eyes and patted her forehead and went out.

"Good morning, Annie." Angela passed Annie with a smile.

"Good morning, I thought you wanted me to wake you up again." Anne deliberately showed surprise.

"Hey, what you say makes me seem lazy, be careful I will sue you for slander." Angela said seriously, and then walked downstairs amidst Anne's laughter, and greeted the servants all the way to the home dining restaurant.

"Dear Chrissy, Ma'am, they are already waiting for you." Jennifer said as she opened the restaurant door.

"My sister is so lazy, we are already seated." Before she could step through the door, Willy had already yelled loudly, causing a chuckle.Angela walked in front of her sister with a calm expression, and then knocked on the door of her head with lightning speed: "I bet you are only two seconds ahead of me."

"I didn't say anything." Ike quickly raised his hand to show his innocence, but Willy stared at him and quickly put it down.

"Okay, sit down first, your father still has something to say." Mom smoothed things over with a smile.

"Okay, Mom." Angela shrugged and sat down opposite her mother, then looked at her father: "What's the matter, Dad?"

"Actually, it's nothing." Jared put away the newspaper in his hand and put it aside. "The first question, has the list of people to be invited been decided?"

"Basically," Angela nodded, "I'll give you the list later, I don't know if you want to invite anyone else."

"Let's talk about it after you give me the list." My father smiled slightly. "Second question, what kind of party do you plan to have? I mean, Miss Director has thought about planning her own 18th birthday Party?"

"Dad!" Angela yelled angrily and amusedly, and then shrugged her shoulders again, "I don't have any ideas, just leave it to a professional planning company, anyway, it's not the first time I'm having a party."

"You don't want to be a little surprised?" The father asked in surprise, but in the eyes of the daughter, the surprise was really not very pretending.

"Nowadays when many people are invited, especially when there are many well-dressed guests, surprises can easily backfire." Angela crossed her hands on the dining table, "So in order to avoid such accidents, it's better to be well-behaved. "

Jared and Elena looked at each other, and his father suddenly spread his hands and laughed.

"What's wrong? Is there any problem?" Angela couldn't help being a little surprised.

"Yes, I originally wanted to give you a gift tomorrow, but your mother said that you might not have time to open it by then, so I decided to come ahead of time." Jared said with a smile, "Actually, I planned to wait for you I will give it to you on your 21st birthday, but after thinking about it, my daughter is so smart, who knows if she will find something someday, it would be a bit boring. So I changed it to your 18th birthday, I hope you will like."

"What is it? Don't tell me it's a life-sized Optimus Prime." Although she said it in a joking tone, Angela's curiosity had already been aroused by her father.

Jared didn't answer directly. After smiling mysteriously, he gestured to the servant next to him.In Angela's puzzled eyes, an A3-sized box was placed in front of her, pure white without any fancy and very thick, with a simple bow tied with red silk on the upper right corner, it seems that there should be books inside something like that.

The girl looked at the box suspiciously and then at her father, who raised his hand to signal her to open it.Well, then open it and have a look.Thinking this way, Angela took off the silk and opened the box.

She guessed right, it was indeed a book inside, and it was printed on A4 coated paper, which was very exquisite.But this is definitely not an ordinary book, Angela will make such a judgment not because it is exquisite but because of the beautiful cover!

There are three chairs on the cover, the far left is a beige plastic children's chair, simple but cute; the middle is an ordinary wooden chair, simple but unique; the right is a high-backed chair, gorgeous but And elegant.As for the layout of the room, it can be seen at a glance that this is a home near the garden on Brenket Street. The sun is dappled from the outside, and the spots are reflected on the three chairs, giving people an indescribably wonderful feeling. .

Angela bit her lip and took out the book and put it on the table. She wanted to see if her parents had left a small card with the housewife's words in it, but obviously there was not, that is to say, they Is everything you want to say already in the book?

The girl looked at her parents again, and then turned to the first page. Even though she was mentally prepared, she still couldn't help but take a deep breath. If she didn't cover her mouth in time, she would definitely cry out immediately Come.

It was a very beautiful picture. The 11-year-old girl was running around the campsite with her arms open and her eyes squinted.

The delicate face is full of smiles, and the flying blond hair makes her look like a happy bird, followed by a girl with an angry smile, who seems to want to grab her and beat her up, while far away Standing in the middle of the staff, a lady put her hands together and yelled something. Everything was so natural. It can only be said that the photographer's capture was very good.

How could Angela forget what special scene this is, she remembers it clearly, it was the second day of filming "A Couple Made in China" in the San Bernardino National Forest Park, and she was "hunted down" by her for teasing Jessica Not only that, she was rescued until Nancy shouted that the filming was about to start, but...how could...

She turned several pages full of photos from the time she was shooting "A Couple Born", and the photographer used superb skills to record her emotions, making each photo so attractive.

Turning another page, Angela almost yelled again. It was a dark room, and a middle-aged man and a little girl were sitting beside a square dining table. The middle-aged man was asking something, but his eyes wandered. Thinking about something, but the little girl lowered her head and didn't show any expression, she seemed to have a lot of things on her mind and seemed to be just pure indifference.

The corners of Angela's mouth trembled slightly. She wanted to express something but didn't know what to do. Her head seemed to be unable to think, and her heart was completely occupied by memories.

Continue to scroll back, and the photos you click are all the photos from the shooting of "Hide and Seek". Dee Foster was snapped when he was wrapped in a blanket and carried out of the cave.

Turning another page, this time I jumped to the set of "Scent of a Woman". On the dance floor, Kate was trying to lower her body to cooperate with Al according to the director's request, while she was adjusting the violin in a place where the camera could not shoot. "a step far".

Angela smiled softly. She still remembered that her hands were sore from playing the violin continuously.

There are not as many photos in "Scent of a Woman" as before. After two or three photos, I switched to another scene. This time it is no longer a color photo. Old buildings, frightened and timid crowds, SS soldiers in uniforms and sneering , and a slightly haggard self, the red on her body is so dazzling in the black and white picture.

This group of photos is all black and white like a movie, and Angela's heart can't help but go back to that moment and become heavy.

The tone of the next photo is still gloomy. She closed her eyes tightly and knelt straight in front of many wooden statues of Jesus. Tears slid down her cheeks silently. captured the hearts of the audience.

Turning over and over again, shooting MTV with Liv, the wild boy in "Heart", the set of "Titanic" in Rosarito, directing the MV for the first time, etc., when she turned the page again Even though her mouth was covered, Angela still couldn't help crying out.

In the picture, Natalie tilted her head slightly and looked up at the ceiling in a serious manner, as if she didn't care about my business; while Angela herself was biting the pen holder, looking at the book in her hand, frowning and scratching at it. Lindsay couldn't do anything beside her, pouted angrily; Jessica and Scarlett were on the other side, shaking their heads and shrugging their shoulders, seemingly helpless.It happened that the light on the set was slightly dim, which gave the whole photo a nostalgic feeling.

Angela bit her lips tightly, she remembered very clearly that Natalie gave her several wonderful math problems at that time, every time she solved a mistake with a little negligence, she was laughed at for a long time, Lindsay thought If they want to help, the more they help, the more they help. In the end, Jessica and Scarlett came out to smooth things over.

There is no need to read any more, she can be sure that she will have a cameo in "Friends", directing "Run Lola Run", directing "Stealing and Kidnapping", and directing "Memory Fragments". An inexplicable feeling suddenly came from The bottom of her heart exploded and quickly occupied her whole body, making her tremble uncontrollably.

"A... Adam Ray... Raymond, is it him?" Angela tried her best to suppress her emotions, and said the name with difficulty, the liquid had already filled her eye sockets.

"Yes, it took some effort to convince him..." Before Jared finished speaking, his daughter rushed up and hugged him fiercely. The force was so great that the chair and the chair moved several inches. There was an ugly creak, and then she buried her head in her father's shoulder and her body trembled violently.

After being surprised, Jared smiled and stroked his daughter Gan: "I have to say, my dear, your reaction is beyond my expectation."

"Thank you, Dad." Angela choked up and raised her head. If she could, she really wanted to smile, but her trembling lips could only make tears flow down.

"You are our daughter, you are our baby, you are our pride, we just want to keep something for you, it's nothing, as long as you are happy, as long as you are happy." Father said Kissed her lightly on the forehead.

Angela finally laughed, although still with tears, she hugged her father again, and then hugged her mother as tightly as she hugged her father. Elena also smiled and kissed her on the forehead.

"This is the best and most precious gift you can give me. I love you all!"
