Hollywood Secret Garden

Chapter 323 Entering the New Year in the Siege

This should be the longest Christmas that Angela spent in London, and it was also the longest Christmas that she stayed in Grandpa's Manor.She can't go anywhere, except that she managed to sneak out and Kate visited Rowling on the first day after the premiere, and she never had such a chance. The trespassing prosecution nearly broke single digits before the girl left London.

This is all due to the hot sales of "Titanic". Outside the theaters all over the UK during the Christmas period, the crowds in line have never disappeared. More and more people watched it three or four times in a short period of time, and the box office naturally increased. Climb steadily.

Although Angela didn't know the specific situation of the box office in the UK, she knew everything about it on the other side of the Atlantic. After all, she owned the North American screening rights of "Titanic".Because it was two days later than the UK premiere, the first week of screenings was limited, but even with only screenings, the box office still easily passed the 3300 million mark!Some people may disagree that there are not many movies with a box office of 3000 million, but the North American box office of "Titanic" doubled to 6700 million in the second week!In other words, in just two weeks or more than a week, this masterpiece took away 1 million US dollars!And its momentum continued unabated in the new year, taking another 7600 million by the end of the third week!

This surprised many people. Although many people thought that "Titanic" would be a big hit, they never thought it would be so hot. The "New York Times" column described the situation at that time like this: "This year's Christmas Tourists traveling to New York during the holidays will see a rare sight — the line from Fifth Avenue to Grand Central Terminal, people waiting to buy tickets to see Titanic!"

For this reason, Angela proudly showed off in front of her father, proving that her investment was completely worthwhile. Jared just smiled at his daughter's childishness, and deliberately said: "The schedule is not yet, dear .”

"It's okay, I'll show off in front of you again when the schedule is over!" The daughter spread her hands with a smile, as if she didn't care at all, as if she was definitely making money, "You will know at that time, it is a big deal for me to buy the rights to show in North America. What a right thing to do!"

Regardless of whether it can prove worthwhile at that time, at least this investment feels very troublesome now, because what the reporters want to know most is why Angela Ken spent 6000 million to buy the North American screening rights, what is the story behind this, plus The girl is also the screenwriter, soundtrack and lead singer of "Titanic". It is no wonder that the paparazzi will guard outside the manor 24 hours a day.

Of course, Angela didn't care about it, anyway, she had a good time in the manor, there was no troublesome AP homework, no busy film production, and her grandfather didn't ask her to attend receptions, so she slept as long as she wanted every day, After getting up, he often rides a horse and takes two sheepdogs for a walk in the manor. When he is tired, he writes in his room - the final part of "Fake God", the timetable of "Warcraft" and the outline of the new script.

And the script for the engagement gift for the aunt-to-be had already been written before coming to London—Angela had promised to write it before the end of the year.This script is naturally "Notting Hill". When the girl thinks about the gift, she immediately thinks of it. From the content point of view, it is so suitable!After reading it, both Julia and Frank admitted that this romantic and warm fairy tale is an excellent gift, but the uncle only showed two or three sides of what Angela arranged for him, and the specific image was basically outlined by the dialogue between the hero and heroine. The hideous playboy character is smiling bitterly.

"It's okay, dear uncle, as long as you act in your true colors, you know? There will be absolutely no problem in acting in your true colors." Angela comforted Frank solemnly, and the laughter broke out early in her stomach.

In addition, the girl has to deal with the harassment of a few little ghosts. Of course, Xia Xia will return to visit after Lulu visits at home, so the two guys have to start a "gnawing people" contest around Angela - to see who is The number and places where Angela was gnawed in a short period of time are the most!This annoyed the girl very much, the two little devils who were about to be a year older still enjoyed playing such childish and boring games!Don't they plan to grow up?

What makes people even more depressing and angry is that the two little girls brought Willie and Ike to death, so it is often the four little guys who attack together from different places, causing Angela to deal with it in a hurry, and finally gets really angry and kills them. Grabbing them into the room one by one, taking off their pants or skirts and slapping their bare buttocks a few times, they calmed down a lot.

But in general, this Christmas spent basically in my grandfather's manor was very pleasant. I didn't leave the manor again until I left London and returned to New York because I was invited by Diana to attend a charity fundraising event.However, he chose not to answer any questions related to "Titanic".

"In addition to movies, there are more things in this world that deserve your attention. Please don't focus on one place. They want only what you can do." Angela, who participated in the fundraising event, said in front of countless microphones After saying such a simple sentence, he walked away amidst the reporters' questioning.

Afterwards, on December 12th, the girl and her parents went to New York. It is customary to spend the New Year there this year. However, even in New York, she must be chased and blocked by the media. Who made her relationship with the movie "Titanic" So deep, some reporters have already inquired that Rachel was also recommended to Cameron by her, which gave them more reasons to chase girls.

Of course, this is not like London, where the paparazzi dare to guard the door blatantly or sneak up on the window to take pictures.Just like in the summer vacation, the reporters kept a tacit understanding of keeping a distance from Grandpa's villa, as long as they could observe Angela's comings and goings.

Although this does not mean that the girl can have a better life, because she has to stage a date with her boyfriend, such as having dinner with Jonathan in the revolving restaurant Lovers Seat on the top floor of the Empire State Building, watching a movie or something on Broadway, and then Waiting for the arrival of zero.

"What a strange New Year." Angela gracefully cut off a piece of fish and put it in her mouth after sighing.

"Really? Maybe, this is the first time I don't have to wait for the New Year with my parents and brothers and sisters." Jonathan smiled, and then looked at the girl: "What's the matter, have a date?"

"It's nothing." Angela shook her head. "When I was in New York, I always spent holidays with my friends."

If it wasn't for pretending to be dating you, maybe I'd be in my room with Natalie right now discussing John Leigh and the Beatles or the art of directing movies or whatever...well, except maybe she might It should be much better than now to suddenly turn the topic to those strange equations.

"Hey, you're distracted." Jonathan reminded, "It seems that you are very dissatisfied with today's date?"

"No," Angela shook her head after regaining her senses, "It just feels weird, it's the first time I'm celebrating the New Year with my...boyfriend!"

She couldn't help laughing at this point, and Jonathan laughed too: "Yes, but we have an agreement."

"I know. So I just sighed." The girl shrugged, "It's memorable, isn't it?"

"It's really memorable, it's a pity you can't drink, otherwise we can celebrate it with a drink."

"How about using fruit juice instead." The girl said with a smile and held up the hot orange juice in front of her.

"Not bad." Jonathan also raised his glass of red wine, and touched Angela: "Then, let's have a drink for this weird New Year!"

After dinner, the two wanted to go to a movie, but the popular "Titanic" is Angela's work, although you can also watch other movies, but if the girl appears in the movie theater...you know Because it was for the media and parents on both sides, Angela didn't wear makeup at all to cover it up. When she was watching the scenery on the roof of the Empire State Building after dinner.Many enthusiastic fans rushed over to ask for autographs. If you go to a public place like a movie theater and meet fans who just watched "Titanic", you can imagine what kind of madness it will cause.

So the two chose the Broadway opera in the end, but even that was troublesome. Angela originally proposed to walk there, but just after walking a few dozen feet out of the Empire State Building, they were surrounded by fans. After all, it was the last day of the year , it was overcrowded everywhere, so it was difficult for the two of them to move an inch - not that there were so many people blocking the road, it was just that people asked for autographs one after another, and the girl didn't refuse easily, so Jonathan had to ask the bodyguards to move the car away. Drive off to pick them up and leave.

Because of this, after coming out of Bailaihui, the two suddenly found that they didn't know where to go to wait for the zero o'clock. Whether it was the ice skating rink in Central Park that Angela wanted to go to, or the traditional Times Square where they waited for the crystal ball to drop. It's a public place, and it's a place where crowds will be watched. Could it be that... want them to open a room?

And even if you want to dress up a little bit to cover up, and then wander around the nearby streets, it won't work. Many journalists have been following Angela since she left the house.It's basically reminding Xing on the road who this girl is.

So after Jonathan drove the girl slowly for a few blocks on the crowded street, Angela asked him to take her back. After all, dating at this time is just to tell others that they are in a stable relationship. Since the reporter We took so many photos, the goal should be considered achieved.

"Then, good night." Jonathan opened the car door for the girl.He looked at the figure on the street corner again, and kissed her on the cheek as usual.

"Good night." Angela kissed back, there was no way, since the acting must be more realistic, at least kissing the cheek is better than kissing directly?

Waving goodbye to her "boyfriend", the girl looked at the figures in the distance again. Although she hated them, she had to admire their persistence, so she waved to them again. Anyway, they became friendly all night , It's not bad to say hello.

Angela turned around and walked towards the gate. In a few hours, 96 would pass by. How much can she do in the new year?
