Hollywood Secret Garden

Chapter 217 Unconscious

"Hi, dear Angie, nice to meet you." Al opened his arms, laughed and hugged Angela.

"Me too, Mr. Al, um, I'm going to call you dad again." The girl patted the back of the charming old man and said with a smile, "Counting it, this is the first time."

"The third time," Al counted on his fingers, ""Hide and seek", "Firewire" and this time "Virtual Idol". become my daughter."

"So, do you prefer to adopt a daughter or a daughter?" Angela spread her hands with a smile.

"Daughter!" Al gave her an affirmative answer, and then remembered something: "By the way, honey, if Julie is free to visit my class, then..."

"Of course, of course, I promised." The girl nodded immediately. Al's daughter Julie Marie is also a fan of her. Although she got a lot of Angela's autographs through her father, the two have never met That's why Al speaks like this.

At this time, Al's assistant Jeffrey and Sparrow came over together, interrupting the conversation between the old and the young. The crew needed them to start putting on makeup, and the filming was about to start.

Universal's Studio 23 is huge, with a height of tens of feet and an area of ​​hundreds of square miles, making it look empty, as if any set could be stuffed in and put away.

In Angela's opinion, there is no need for such a large studio at all, because the content to be shot in the studio does not require too many sets, and the only props are already placed in the middle, a large LCD monitor— — in the present age.I believe it cost a lot of money, and of course, there are other equipment to show that it is a more advanced computer.

After the girl entered the studio, Al was already sitting in front of the computer and began to pretend to adjust it—it always takes a little longer for girls to put on makeup——director Albert Taylor was beside him, communicating with him from time to time What, the rest of the crew are busy making preparations.

"It's a pity that you didn't manage the guiding tube." Angela took the time to walk to a middle-aged man who looked at the center of the field and wrote a few strokes in the notebook he carried with him from time to time.

"Ah, it's Miss Angela, how are you?" Andrew Nicole hurriedly put away his notebook, and shook hands with the girl.

"It's not surprising. Film companies always have their considerations," he explained. "I never thought I could actually direct this film. I made such a request. If they agree, it's a good thing. If they don't agree, then I'll try harder, anyway, I'm the executive screenwriter now, aren't I?"

"You have such a good attitude, it may be a loss for Universal not to let you be the director." The girl shrugged.She is really regretful. Although the Andrew she knows does not have many works, every movie has something to praise. She really wants to know what kind of situation Andrew can achieve if he is a director from the beginning. What is the difference from the original "Virtual Idol", this may be a good reference value for her.

"In fact, we think Mr. Andrew is very talented. But not everyone is James Cameron." At this time, a tall, thin man walked over, about 45 years old, in a neat suit, this is the production manager of Universal Gaumont Geller.

"So, Andrew should also learn from Mr. Cameron and sell this script to Universal at a price of one dollar." Angela looked at Andrew beside him teasingly, and the other party smiled.

"We have already given Mr. Andrew a long-term contract as a screenwriter, and with Andrew's ability, it won't be too long to wait for the director." Gaumont shook hands with the girl, always smiling, "Hello, Angie Miss La, we finally cooperated once."

"Actually, I am very happy to cooperate with Universal, and I believe we will continue to cooperate in the future." The girl responded with a smile.

To be honest, Angela never thought that Universal would win the script in the end. You must know that after confirming that the author of the novel is her, many companies have become interested. Although the competition is not fierce, it will definitely cost a lot. effort.

However, now it seems that Universal's winning of this script should have the taste of buying horse bones with a lot of money.However, just buy it, why did you choose such a director to direct?

The girl didn't have any opinion on Albert Taylor, she didn't know the director - at least in her memory, she didn't have any impression of him.Of course, there are countless directors in Hollywood, so it's not surprising that she doesn't know about them.

Judging from the information of the other party, this Mr. Taylor has directed many MTVs, and has also been responsible for the shooting of some short plays and some TV series on FOX TV station.But is it appropriate to hand this film over to a director with no experience directing films?

Well, she admitted that she was suspected of discrimination. David Fincher started as a director of MTV, and so did Michael Bay, so Angela cares about it, but she has never heard of this director.

Forget it, forget it, the girl said to herself.Anyway, as agreed, the film company cannot promote her in the name of the original author, and she is a supporting role. As long as she plays her role well, no one can say anything about her even if she loses at the box office.

At this time, among the busy crowd in the distance, a tall and graceful figure suddenly appeared in Angela's sight, which made the girl raise her eyebrows involuntarily.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Gaumont, I'm sorry." Angela said to Gaumont, who was talking with Andrew, and the other party made a gracious gesture of invitation.

As far as Angela can remember, there are only two actors in "Virtual Idol" that are the same as the original version, Al Pacino who played the male lead and Winona Ryder who played the big-name female star.For the latter, Universal originally planned to invite her to play the role of a female producer, Al's ex-wife, Angela's mother, but after reading the script, Winona became interested in the role of a big-name female star. Hearing the agent's persuasion, he asked for it.So after going around and around, this character who was originally her has returned to the original point.

However, other roles have changed drastically. For example, the role of the female producer just mentioned fell into the hands of Ann Heche. She is an excellent TV actress and won an Emmy Award in 91. In the development of the film.Angela always felt that she had heard this woman's name before, but she still couldn't remember it.

However, the most surprising thing for girls among these roles is that it is played by the virtual character Simone.Although in the movie, Simone is synthesized by computer, actors are still required to play during shooting, and then processed by computer in post-production.

The original version of Simone is the famous model Rachel Roberts from Canada, and the current crew is still selecting actors from among the models, because they want to make a national idol.Naturally, the more beautiful the cosplayer, the better, and the hotter the body, the better.Angela naturally knew this too, but she didn't expect that the woman would be the one to play in the end!

An assistant director was talking to the girl at this time, and the girl kept nodding in agreement.

She is about 6 feet 2 inches tall, with slender legs, curvaceous curves, a standard devil figure with bulges and backs, a head of blond hair hanging softly on her shoulders, and exquisite facial features, enough to make any man dream about it!

"Hello, Miss Theron." Angela cut in when the assistant director finished talking, and the woman who turned around was slightly surprised, and then smiled: "Hello, Miss Mason, you can call me Charlize, or Charlie."

Charming but with a different affinity, this is Angela's first impression, she is really very beautiful, worthy of being called a South African diamond.The girl's eyes narrowed slightly, and her tongue flickered from the corner of her mouth unconsciously. No one noticed, not even herself.Immediately, the girl showed the same charming bright smile: "Okay, Charlie, you can also call me Angela or Angie."

"I have to say, you are so beautiful, Charlie. Ever since I received the script, I have been thinking about who will play this perfect woman, but I never thought they would find one." Angela's expression was mixed with surprise and admiration And a little bit of envy, anyone would feel that her words came from the heart.

Sure enough, Charlize began to feel a little embarrassed. She was used to hearing this kind of words, and every man would say them to her, but now it came out of a girl's mouth, and it had a different taste, which made her feel very comfortable.

"You can talk, Angie," she smiled slightly. "I was lucky to get this role."

After a pause, she shrugged her shoulders mockingly again: "But they said that my face needs to be retouched during post-processing, so when the movie is released, I'm afraid it won't be me who appears in front of the audience."

"It's impossible, you are so beautiful, even if you don't make up too much, you underestimate your own charm." Angela said seriously.

"I have to say it again, you are very good at talking, Angie." Charlize also said sincerely.

"I heard that you are from South Africa?" The girl changed the subject without a chance.

"Yes, I came to America when I was 16..."

The two attractive women began to chat, causing the staff present to stare sideways.Under Angela's intentional or unintentional guidance, the two quickly became intimate.

"Miss Angela, Mr. Taylor needs you to come over." A staff member ran over at this moment.

"Are you going to start? Okay, I'll come." Angela nodded, and turned to Charlize again, "I'm sorry, Charlie. It was a pleasure chatting with you. Let's continue when we have time."

"Me too."

After the two nodded to each other, the girl walked towards the set, Aldi's scene was temporarily filmed, and then the scene of her and Anne Heche, who played her mother, was changed.

However, when Angela was about to walk to the center, she suddenly slowed down, and a doubt emerged from her heart. When she was chatting with Charlize just now, she obviously felt that something was wrong with her, but she couldn't tell what was wrong. .

I seem to be a little nervous, the girl thought consolingly, looked towards the center of the venue, and at the same time cheered up and began to think about how to act later.What Angela didn't know was that her every move, from the moment she chatted with Charlize, fell into someone's eyes, the eyes of Ann Heche who played her mother!
