Hollywood Secret Garden

Chapter 213 Intersection

A trace of unnaturalness flashed across Nicole's pretty face: "He has his own business, so I came alone."

How could Angela fail to catch this expression, but she still put on a nonchalant expression, and then changed the subject: "I heard that your performance in "Batman 3" was very good."

"Really?" Nicole shrugged, "Maybe, I think the role of a female psychologist is different from what I imagined, and she was quite NG on the set."

"Don't be humble, Nicole, you know that when I was filming "Heat" before, Val Kilmer was also filming this film, and the current Mr. Batman said so himself." Angela said seriously, "You Look, he's over there, or can you call him over and ask yourself?"

Nicole was amused by the girl's tone: "Okay, I believe what you said, in fact, in "The Edge of Body Heat", I have already realized which roles should be suitable for me."

"The Edge of Body Heat"? Oh, my God, didn't you say that you will always play that kind of vicious and cruel woman in the future?"

"Hey honey, Trish has gone through a lot of changes to become like that."

"Okay, okay, I see." Angela smiled and spread her hands, suddenly her heart moved slightly, she stroked her chin and looked at the other party with interest.

"Is there any problem?" Nicole was a little strange.

"I was thinking, if you were to play the role of a neurotic mother, how would you... express her emotions?" the girl replied with a smile.

"Well, this is too simple, at least you should tell me the environment she is in, why she is nervous, etc."

"Okay, let me briefly describe the plot. After World War II, Grace was raising two children alone while waiting for her husband to return from the war. The children were allergic to sunlight and had to stay indoors in the dark. One day The only servant left without saying goodbye, and Grace had to recruit again. This time she hired three people, a nanny, a gardener and a dumb maid. But then she found that there was a strange change in the house. The door would close automatically, and the piano would automatically close. Speaking and so on, my daughter even said that she saw someone who didn't exist, and the house seemed to be inhabited by ghosts. And the three servants became more and more weird. Grace, who couldn't wait for her husband, became more and more anxious and began to collapse. Hovering on the edge. Finally one day, she covered her own child with her head, and then shot herself!"

Following Angela's words.Nicole couldn't help covering her mouth lightly: "This is too bad! Is this...a horror movie?"

"It's a thriller to be exact!" The girl pinched her chin lightly, with a half-hearted smile, "But what I just said is not the whole story, in fact... this mother and her child are still alive. Three of the servants are already dead, and they... are the ghosts!"

"Sounds...it seems to be similar to your "The Sixth Sense"?" Nicole thought carefully for a few minutes before she put down her hand covering her mouth, and she suddenly had a little understanding in her heart.

"In fact, this story is an extension of "The Sixth Sense". There are similarities with "The Sixth Sense", but there are also differences. But I have always been distressed by the characters, because the original idea was that Two children are the protagonists, which obviously repeats "The Sixth Sense". Until...you reminded me when you mentioned Tracy." Angela looked into the blue eyes of the other party, "I think we can add a mother The role goes in, the kind of mother who loves her child and is afraid, neurotic, and somewhat hysterical! If it were you, how would you express that feeling, Nicole?"

"Anxious and uneasy, but at the same time suppress your emotions, you can't change your expression too much, but you must always hang that nervousness on your face, and other things can be expressed through small movements or other methods... I After all, there is no complete script." Nicole is not an idiot, she has already understood Angela's thoughts, and she is surprised and happy in her heart. After her performance in "The Edge of Body Heat" has been well received, she has gradually moved away from Tom. Cruise came out behind her back. If she can be like a character who won the box office again and received double harvest from film critics, she will have her own sky!

"Okay, I think it can be finalized, but I'm afraid there won't be a complete script until the second half of the year or next year." Angela blinked.To be honest, it is not a whim to move out "Small Island". After "The Sixth Sense" appeared in advance, not only "Scream" was also brought forward, but also made suspenseful and horror movies popular. , Among the many follow-up works, there is a movie called "Ghost Villa", which is very similar to "Spiritual Villa". If this is the case, who knows if "Small Island" will be advanced?So at the beginning of the year, she began to write an outline.

However, I haven’t started writing since then, because it’s not easy to choose the heroine. Nicole’s performance in the film is too impressive. They say it’s her best movie—in terms of acting—but now Nicole is still a bit of a vase, and the girl is very worried about whether she can grasp this role.

It wasn't until she saw each other again at this premiere that she suddenly remembered that Nicole really succeeded in "The Edge of Body Heat" and "Batman 3". Although her acting skills may be lacking, if she can find someone With a director who is good at communication, the movie may not have the original weirdness and shock.

"It's okay, I think I can wait." Nicole didn't mind much, after all, Angela had a great reputation.

"That's how it is," Angela nodded, and turned to look over there. Sophie had already left the chatting crowd and walked to the side alone, just as no one was bothering her.

"Want to go there together? Nicole, I really like her movies."

"Oh, of course."

The two walked over together.

"Hello, Miss Marceau." Angela greeted in French.

Sophie was slightly surprised, turned her head in Xunsheng, and looked at the girl: "Hello, you are..."

"Angela, Angela Mason," the girl stepped forward and shook hands with her, while introducing Nicole beside her: "This is Nicole, Nicole Kidman, my friend."

Although Nicole couldn't understand what they were saying, she also knew that the girl was introducing herself, so she immediately stretched out her hand: "Hello Miss Marceau, I'm Nicole."

"Hello, Nicole, I know you, please call me Sophie." Sophie smiled and shook hands with her. I have to say that her smile is very attractive.

Then, she looked at Angela again: "Angela? Your French is really good, are you French?"

"No, I'm American, and my mother is British. I often go to England, so I can speak French pretty well." The girl explained with a smile.

Sophie remembered something at this time, and she showed a surprised look again: "I remembered, you are that Angela, the genius girl in Hollywood, right?"

Angela nodded.

"Well. You know, I've heard your French song, it's really good. Mr. Luc Besson also mentioned you. He thinks you are the most spiritual girl he has ever seen, so he couldn't cooperate with you It's a pity." Sophie sighed a little, "Now I know he's not lying."

"Thank you for your compliment, Sophie, you are also one of my favorite actresses." The girl also made no secret of her liking, "I have heard people say that you are pink, and now I believe that he is not lying talk."

"You can talk, Angie." Sophie chuckled.

The three of them started chatting from the movie. Sophie spoke very directly and thoughtfully, which is somewhat similar to Nicole, so the chat went well. Angela was reduced to a supporting role again. When she first started talking about movies, she was right. Quite a lot, but after talking about the topic between women later, she can only occasionally interject a sentence or two.After all, no matter what, this is not what she is good at.

But Angela didn't feel anything else. Anyway, she came to the premiere just to meet and get to know Sophie.Of course, she didn't like the certain Polish director she lived with.

"France is indeed a romantic country, even homosexuality." Sophie suddenly said this.

The girl with her ears pricked up asked mysteriously: "Speaking of homosexuality, have you ever kissed your close girlfriend before, or have you done anything further?"

The two ladies cast their surprised eyes on her at the same time.

"Angie, you mean..." Nicole made a questioning gesture.

"En. That is to say..." Angela coughed lightly.She didn't know why she suddenly asked such a question, if it was before.This is absolutely impossible.

"Let's put it this way, when I was reading some books, I found such a text, which means that about 80% of girls will prefer to kiss with the same sex when they are young, and among them, 50% The girls will comfort each other, and 20% of the girls will have a further relationship..." The girl gestured with her hands, looked at Sophie and Nicole, and was a little nervous, "Did I offend you? ?”

It was this nervousness that made her ignore her heart, not realizing that something had spread.

"I suppose you don't have a boyfriend yet, Angie?" Nicole laughed now.

"Yes, I have a lot to do, and besides, I don't like football captains." Angela shrugged.

"Actually," Sophie smiled, "I did have the experience of kissing my girlfriend. Relatively speaking, kissing with the same sex is more common."

"That's it, I've had it too." Nicole also nodded.

"So... how about going further?" Angela seemed to be planning to continue asking.

Sophie and Nicole's cheeks flashed a blush very quickly, and then Nicole looked at the girl and emphasized: "Honey, this topic should not be discussed here!"

"Um... ha, yeah... I just... I mean I do... oh, I mean, surveys show that lesbians seem to be... damn, what am I talking about!" Angela muffled He pursed his lips and lowered his head, as if he didn't dare to look at them, "Okay, I think I should go find a boyfriend."

Both Sophie and Nicole were silent, and each tilted their heads. The girl's words seemed to arouse something in their hearts. Fortunately, at this time, the person in charge of Fox came to the middle and tapped the cup lightly to make a speech. It didn't make the sudden silence embarrassing.

Angela didn't know how much impact her words would have. Of course, there may be more than just these words, but there are other factors, but it is undeniable that the change started from these words .

And a long time later, when the girl thought about it, she was still not sure.Is it completely intentional, or is it just driven by the subconscious to say that.

------

Angela pressed the last key, and the melodious music finally slid to the end. Then she stood up amidst the thunderous applause of the audience, and bowed to thank the audience.

Here is Carnegie Hall in New York on May 5, the last stop of Itzhak Perlman's nationwide charity tour.According to the agreement, the girl will be the guest performer again, but this time is different from the Kodak Theatre, she is only performing two pieces in the middle, after all, she will not appear here in the original plan.

But Angela didn't care. When she agreed to Yitzhak, her motives were not pure, and the show was performed in Los Angeles, so she hugged Yitzhak on the chair.After kissing his cheek again, he thanked the audience again and left the stage gracefully.Come backstage.Angela breathed a sigh of relief and immediately began to change clothes. Although the evening dress she wore tonight was not shoulderless and low-cut, it was still very uncomfortable to expose her collarbone.

After two or three changes into a shirt and jeans—which had become her standard—the girl went to the dressing room to ask a makeup artist to remove her makeup before she left and went back to Long Island. I said hello.

In fact, at first she planned to wait for the end of the concert and wait at the entrance of the concert hall, but firstly, if people saw it, it would cause unnecessary trouble; secondly, she was really not sure whether Natalie would come to the scene, so It's better to go back to Long Island and wait until the concert is over before visiting.

"Miss Angela." When the girl was packing up her things and was about to leave, a staff member suddenly pushed the door in. "There is a lady who wants to see you. She said she is your friend."

"My friend?" Angela was taken aback, her heart skipped a beat. Could it be that Natalie left early to see me?Resisting her excitement, she didn't even ask any more questions, and nodded immediately: "Okay, she's outside. I'll come!"

"No, I'm already here." A girl in a pink Barbie suit jumped out from behind the staff, which surprised the staff. He didn't expect her to follow her: "Hey, miss, so did not qualified."

"Come on, Angie has already promised to see me, and you have nothing to do here." The girl made a face at him, and quickly hid behind Angela.Then he poked his head out and waved to the other party.

At this time, Angela wiped off the expression of wry smile, helplessness, and dizziness on her face, and said to the hesitant staff: "Okay, it's nothing, let her stay here for a while."

The other party nodded and left, while the girl sighed in her stomach and turned around: "Okay, Paris... well, I mean, it's nice to meet you."

"Me too." Paris Hilton hugged Angela out, "You know, you are amazing, I have never heard such a beautiful song!"

"Hey, Paris, this is Mr. Yitzhak's concert, I'm just a guest performer, and if you want to compare, I can't compare with Mr. Yitzhak." Angela took her hand from her waist .

"But you know a lot more musical instruments than him." Paris exclaimed disapprovingly, "In my opinion, you are much better than him. You should hold a concert and he should be the guest performer..."

Angela really wants to correct her, it's a concert, not a concert, and the number of musical instruments she can play does not necessarily mean she is good at it, but seeing how she can't keep her chatterbox shut, she can only smile wryly and listen to her chatter, anyway, it's " You are awesome", "I really want to be able to do this too", etc.

"Okay, Paris, let's stop here," the girl looked at the time, and if she dragged on, the concert would be over, so she had to interrupt her, "Anyway, I'm glad you came to see me backstage, I have other things to go now, bye."

As she said that, she patted the other party, turned and walked out. Paris hurriedly shouted from behind: "Wait, Angie, can you live with me today? My sister and I are looking forward to you."

"Sorry, no, Paris, I have a date with someone else!" Angela ran out without moving her head, and quickly disappeared into the corridor. Paris, unable to catch up, immediately turned her mouth down, a little Desperately looking at the place where the girl disappeared, he finally stomped his feet in resentment, turned around and left from another place.

Of course Angela would not pay attention to these, she left through the side door accompanied by Sparrow and got into Pu Guanshui's car.

"Shall we go back now, Miss?" Pu Guanshui asked.

The girl looked at the time, and the concert would end in 20 minutes. After hesitating for a moment, she bit her lip: "Let's go to the front door and wait for the concert to end."

Pu Guanshui nodded, started the car, turned a corner, came to the front door, found a relatively secluded location with a clear view of the exit, and stopped, then began to wait quietly.

10 minutes is not too long, not too short, and it finally started to end. Angela, who had been looking at the door of the concert hall eagerly, opened her eyes wide at this time, trying to distinguish Natalie carefully. It's a pity that although the street lights are bright, it is still impossible to illuminate them as clearly as during the day.

The girl could only try her best to identify them. She was lucky. She saw Liv who was alone and Scarlett's family. Unfortunately, she couldn't get out of the car to say hello to them.And tonight's goal never appeared.

"Okay, I think we can go back." Angela finally sighed as she watched the crowd at the door dwindle, and waved her hand in a disinterested manner.

Pu Guanshui clicked, started the car and was about to drive to the driveway, the girl suddenly yelled: "Wait!" and asked him to step on the brake quickly, but the strong inertia check caused Sparrow to hit the glass , and Angela leaned directly on the back of the car seat, but she couldn't care less.Hurriedly looking out of the window again, on the street, a couple was talking and laughing, followed by their daughter, Angela could see clearly that there was no one else except the Hessler family!

The girl only felt that her heart suddenly fell back, as if something had been unloaded from her shoulders, and her whole body was relaxed.

"What's the matter?" Sparrow, who was relieved, asked at this time.

"It's nothing, I think... we should go back as soon as possible. Go back to Long Island." Angela's eyes flickered.

------

Coming out of the concert hall, Natalie followed her parents to the parking lot while listening to their parents' low-pitched discussions absent-mindedly. Her current thoughts were all on the figure playing the flute and piano on the stage.

Angie is so pretty.She thought so, and she was even more beautiful than she had seen on TV before.

In fact, after that phone call, she was basically not angry anymore, and she was not a fool, of course she knew why Angela agreed to Mr. Perlman's invitation.But she still didn't talk to her too much. If she forgives too quickly, she won't learn the lesson.

I came to the parking lot, got into my father's car, and drove to my home in Long Island.

"Honey, you should have reconciled with Anji thoroughly, right?" Mother asked suddenly during the exercise.

Natalie frowned slightly.Looking in the rearview mirror, her father was also looking at her, and he couldn't help shaking his head in his heart. Mom and Dad are still in the same trench as Angela, which is really depressing.

"There's nothing between us, Mom." She shrugged.

"Oh, yes, so shouldn't you go and see her tomorrow?"

Natalie couldn't help but secretly rolled her eyes. She didn't mind going, but when she thought of having sex with Angela there, she felt a little nervous, probably because of a psychological shadow.

"I think, maybe it's okay." She said vaguely, suddenly startled, followed by lying on the car window, she was already home outside, and on the street outside the fence of her house, a petite figure was walking back and forth Walking slowly, although she was wearing a hat and the light was very dim, Natalie still recognized who it was. She sometimes put her hands behind her back and sometimes crossed her arms, occasionally looked up at the sky, and sometimes looked down at her toes, as if Who is waiting in loneliness.

Natalie's heart moved slightly, and an inexplicable emotion slowly climbed into her heart. Is she waiting for me?

At this time, the father stopped the car on the side of the street, and the sound immediately attracted the girl's attention, and she opened her eyes wide.

After Natalie shook her head lightly and cleared her mind of thoughts, she opened the door and got out of the car with her mother.

"Ms. Shirley, and Nat!" The girl immediately greeted happily, "Oh, and Mr. Avner in the car."

"Hi, Angie." Shirley also recognized Angela at this time, and waved to her.

"It's nice to meet you, you are..." The girl hesitated, as if she wanted to ask but didn't dare to ask.

At the same time, he touched the girl lightly.

Natalie knew what her mother meant, and she felt pity for the anticipation that Angela just showed, and she waved her hand immediately: "Hi, Angie, your performance is really good."
