It was originally planned to shoot for a week of MTV, but it took only four days to complete. There are factors that only need to be filmed in the studio for the rest, but more because Angela is in surprisingly good condition and belongs to her shots. It was almost a one-off, which surprised the director David.
In fact, everyone can see that Angela has always been wearing a smile that combines satisfaction, joy and happiness recently. I don't know what happened to make her so happy. Pu Guanshui, who is a personal bodyguard, secretly asked. Was she in love, but she was greeted with a slap in the face and a sentence, "Go to hell!"
However, although it is not far from the middle, the girl will be so happy, who else but Natalie? Obviously, after Natalie leaked the leak that night, her heart was suddenly relieved. In fact, after the one at home, she tried to violate Natalie several times when she was alone, but she was just afraid of losing her.
Of course, now, for the time being, this problem no longer exists. That night at the hotel Angela finally got her wish and Natalie lingered again, and Natalie seemed to give up on herself after she leaked it, and was still at the mercy of Angela. , and then lost in that feeling of water and milk, and hugged the girl to sleep until morning.
"I hope this is the last time, Angie! I don't want us to be friends in the future." Although after waking up, Natalie seemed to have come out of her inner entanglement, and warned Angela through gritted teeth, However, she didn't dare to look at each other from the beginning to the end, and even turned a deaf ear to Angela's words. It was conceivable how firm her words could be in such an emotion, so Angela didn't take it to heart at all. Until I saw Natalie out the door, I still hugged and kissed her from time to time.
After MTV finished filming, it was time to start promoting to other states, so Angela reluctantly said goodbye to her grandparents, and Scarlett and her family left the Big Apple. made friends, exchanged phone numbers and addresses.
As for Natalie, although she has been avoiding herself since that night at the hotel, Angela is not angry, anyway, there will be time to meet in the future.
Along the New York-Philadelphia-Houston-Kansas-Los Angeles route, Angela signed all the way. Since it has been more than a year since the last album, plus Disney's publicity efforts and a little trick - such as one of three posters that come with the purchase of the album, many die-hard fans are willing to pay more Bought it, so the first-day sales reached 80,000 copies, and in the first week, it exceeded 700,000 copies. In just one week, "Front" topped the "Billboard" list. In the top 10, "As It Is" and "An Angel". The other seven songs are all on the list, and "Light", which is still in the top 100, cannot be underestimated.
The girl has been full of enthusiastic fans along the way, especially now that she is no longer the girl she was last year, and a beautiful girl can always attract more people's attention, so every time there is a signing, there are always more than the scale. The fans were present, and when they were in Houston, many fans drove from other cities, which encouraged the girl and was frequently warned by the local police station.
It was not until three weeks later that Angela, who was somewhat exhausted, returned to Los Angeles. Although it was very hard, there was no lack of rewards. For example, her terrible dancing skills, after several live performances, finally got better, but... It's just Just a few.
"Sometimes you think she's stiff, a completely manipulated puppet, or that Angela wants to create a new dance like MJ? Puppet dance?" Rolling Stone teased.
"We acknowledge her musical talent. We're also surprised by her musical creativity, but as the old saying goes, God gives you something and takes something away. Obviously for Angela, well, you still stand Sing there." "Billboard" criticized mercilessly.
"Actually, I don't really have any talent for dancing, plus I'm putting all my energy into music, so—if you guys think it's ugly, just laugh out loud, I don't mind." On a certain show , the girl said sarcastically.
However, this shortcoming and the girl's frankness made her feel a lot closer, and more people fell in love with her, which was probably unexpected by Angela.
Of course, she doesn't have much time to think about these things at the moment, and there are still many things for her to do, such as going to see Jessica or Lindsay, or going to the uncle who just came back from London with Julia to find out about her grandfather's attitude , as well as completing the script of "Jumanji", modifying the Warcraft novel and so on. However, the most important thing is to invest in Pixar!
"Hey, wait, dear, how much did you say?" Jared looked at his daughter in surprise with his mouth open in the classical European-style study, and he didn't notice that the pen in his hand fell on the desk.
"Not much, just 20 million." Angela said with a smile.
"20 million... just?"
"Yes, I will pay the interest, Dad, don't worry, everything will be done according to normal business procedures." The girl shrugged.
"Listen, Chris, you've only been home for three days, why are you thinking of coming over to talk to me about a loan or something? What are you... going to do?" Jared asked amusingly.
Angela blinked: "I thought you knew?"
"Why should I know?" Father sighed.
"Because I told Mr. Sparrow what I wanted to do, didn't he tell you?" The girl spread her hands, as early as Sparrow came to New York to discuss with Vincent about "Ten Stories of Azeroth" ” published, she entrusted her agent to conduct a preliminary investigation of the current situation of Lower Pixar before she came.
Sparrow has done a good job in his homework. According to his investigation, he only needs to inject about 20 million to get 30% of the equity. In Angela's view, this is really cost-effective, but unfortunately - she has no money. !
Oh, that's not true, no liquidity, enough liquidity! The girl's current private net worth is almost 40 million, but under the management of the team assigned by her father, she bought 10 million shares of Dell and Microsoft, as well as several million shares of a technology company called Cisco, and some Others, the working capital is only more than 7 million.
Needless to say about Dell and Microsoft, especially Microsoft, as soon as WIN95 came out in 1995, it doubled immediately, and it was impossible to throw it away. As for Cisco, even if it is sold, it is only a few million, and it is still not more than 20 million when combined with the working capital. Besides, although Cisco is not impressed, it is a network company. According to Angela's limited financial memory, there is still considerable room for appreciation at least before the burst of the Internet bubble in 2000. So after thinking about it, I found that if I want to invest in something, I must ask my father's permission, so I just ask him to borrow it.
"You mean Steve's animation company, Pixar?" Jared finally remembered and said jokingly, "Chrissy, do you take Jack as your financial advisor?"
"Isn't it?" Angela raised her arms and looked at her father teasingly, "Anyway, I can't instruct the financial management team you gave me."
Father smiled and returned to the topic: "Are you sure you want to do this? Darling?"
"Of course!" the girl replied affirmatively.
"Okay, then as you said, normal business procedures will give you a chance to convince me." Jared leaned on the back of the chair, folded his hands on the armrests, and looked at his daughter with a smile.
Angela opened her mouth, but found that she didn't know what to say at all. Do you want to tell her father that Pixar's 3D animation will be very, very profitable in the future? Crazy!
"Well, here it is, at the beginning of the summer, Lisa showed me a short 3D animation the Pixar staff made for her, and I think they did a great job, if they would do a fully digital 3D animation Animated film, then it will definitely create a sensation and get out of the current low point!" The girl said after thinking for a few minutes, while praying that her father would not go to Lisa for support.
"Two questions!" Jared sat up straight. "First, do they have plans and experience in making fully digital feature-length 3D animated films? Second, how to ensure that the 3D animated films made can make money and save lives. The whole company?"
"Well... I think they have been working with Disney to make computer-animated feature films, and they should have accumulated relevant experience. Their program development team also won this year's Academy Award for Science and Engineering! As for the second one, I already have the relevant script. The idea, and the character image, you should believe in my strength, Dad?" Angela said after thinking for a long time.
"That's not good, my dear, it's not enough to convince me." Father shook his fingers.
"Oh, don't be like this, Dad!" Angela stood up and looked at her father with a little pleading, "I can't pay it!"
"It's not something that's not worth it, Chrissy," Jared said seriously, "20 million investment is not a big deal, but you have to have a detailed plan and enough profit expectations to convince others that no If you do, even 2 million won't be loaned to you."
"Well then, Dad, if I lose the 20 million yuan, I'll quit the entertainment industry, this is the head office!" The girl didn't care about this at all, and said anxiously.
"Hey darling, we're talking about investing, we can't mess around." Jared shrugged.
Angela closed her mouth and stared at her father for a while, then left the study angrily. The father looked at the figure of his daughter leaving, sighed and shook his head with a wry smile, his daughter is really not suitable for the financial industry.
He thought about it and picked up the phone on the desk:
"Yes, it's me, I need details about Pixar Animation..."
