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

How could Angela not capture this expression, but she still pretended to be indifferent, 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 there are many NGs on the set."

"Don't be modest, Nicole, you know that when I was filming "The Wire", Val Kilmer was also making this movie, and the current Mr. Batman said so himself." Angela said solemnly, "You Look, he's over there, or you can call him over and ask yourself?"

Nicole was amused by the girl's tone: "Okay, I'll take your word for it. In fact, when I was on the edge of Body Heat, I already realized what roles should be suitable for me."

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

"Hey dear, Tracy has gone through a lot of changes to become that way."

"Okay, okay, I see." Angela smiled and spread out her hands, and suddenly her heart moved slightly, touching her chin and looking at each other with interest.

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

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

"Well, it's too simple, at least you should tell me the environment she's in, why she's neurotic, etc."

"Okay, let me tell you a little bit about the plot. After World War II, Grace was raising her two children alone and 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 discovered that strange changes had taken place in the house. The door would automatically close, the piano would automatically Speaking up and so on, her daughter even said she saw someone who didn't exist, and the house seemed to live in a ghost. And the three servants became more and more weird, and Grace, who couldn't wait for her husband, became more and more anxious and began to collapse. Wandering on the edge. Finally, one day, she covered her own child with her head, and then shot herself!"

With Angela's words. Nicole covered her mouth gently: "This is too bad! This is... a horror movie?"

"It's a thriller to be exact!" The girl squeezed her chin with a faint smile, "but what I just said is not the whole story, in fact... this mother and her child have three A servant is already dead, and they... are ghosts!"

"Sounds... It sounds similar to your "The Sixth Sense"?" Nicole thought carefully for a few minutes before putting down her hand covering her mouth. She suddenly felt a little enlightened in her heart.

"Actually this story is an extension of The Sixth Sense. It's similar to The Sixth Sense, but it's also different. But I've been struggling with the characters because the original idea was that Two children are the protagonists, which is obviously a repeat of "The Sixth Sense". Until... You reminded me when you mentioned Tracy." Angela looked at each other's blue eyes, "I think we can add a mother role. Go in, the nervous, hysterical mother who loves her child and is scared at the same time! If it were you, how would you express that feeling, Nicole?"

"Anxious and uneasy, but at the same time, you have to suppress your emotions. You can't change your expression too much, but you should always put that nervousness on your face. Others can be expressed through small movements or other ways... I think That's all, there is no complete script after all." Nicole is not an idiot, she already understood Angela's mind, and she was both surprised and delighted. Ruth came out from behind. If she can win the box office and film review again, she will have her own sky!

"Well, I think it can be settled, but I'm afraid there will be a complete script in the second half of the year or next year." Angela blinked. To be honest, it was not a whim to move "Frightening Island" out. After the early appearance of "Sixth Sense", it not only made "Scream" ahead of schedule, but also made the suspenseful horror type movie popular. , There are many more follow-up works, including a movie called "Ghost Villa", which is very similar to "Spiritual Villa". In this case, who knows whether "Frightening Island" will be ahead of schedule? So at the beginning of the year she started writing an outline.

However, since then, I have not started writing, because the heroine is not easy to choose, and Nicole's performance in the film is so impressive that they all say that it is her best movie - in terms of acting skills - but now Nicholas But there is still a bit of a vase feeling, 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 was really successful through "Body Heat Edge" and "Batman 3". Although her acting skills may still be insufficient, if she could find someone For a director who is good at communication, the movie is not necessarily as weird and shocking as it was originally.

"It doesn't matter, I think I can wait." Nicole didn't mind, after all, Angela was famous.

"That's it," Angela nodded and turned to look over there. Sophie had left the chatting crowd and walked to the side alone, just in case no one disturbed her.

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

"Oh, of course."

The two walked over together.

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

Sophie was slightly surprised, Xunsheng turned her head 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, and immediately extended her hand: "Hello Miss Marceau, I'm Nicole."

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

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

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

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

Angela nodded.

"Hmm. You know, I've heard your French songs, it's really good. Mr. Luc Besson also mentioned you, he thought you were the most energetic girl he'd ever met, and couldn't work 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 once heard people say that you are pink, and now I believe he is not lying. talk."

"You really can talk. Angie." Sophie chuckled.

The three of them started chatting from the movie. Sophie spoke very directly and had a lot of ideas. This is somewhat similar to Nicole, so the chat was very good. Angela became a supporting role again. When she first started talking about the movie, she said it Quite a lot, but when she talked about the topic between women later, she could only insert a sentence or two occasionally. After all, 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 has no sympathy for a Polish director who lives with her.

"France is indeed a romantic country, even gays." Sophie suddenly said these words.

The girl who had been pricking up her ears asked mysteriously: "Speaking of homosexuality, have you ever kissed your close girlfriend or done anything further?"

The two ladies invariably cast their surprised eyes on her.

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

"Well. That is to say... " Angela coughed lightly. She didn't know why she would suddenly ask such a question, if it had been before. This is absolutely impossible.

"Let's put it this way, when I was reading some books, I found this text, which means that about 80% of girls prefer to kiss the same sex when they are young, and 50% of them 100% of the girls will comfort each other, and 20% of them will have a further relationship..." The girl gestured with her hands, looked at Sophie and then at Nicole, a little nervous, "Did I offend you? "

It was this tension that made her ignore her own heart, not realizing that something had been extended.

"I don't think you have a boyfriend yet, Angie?" Nicole laughed at this moment.

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

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

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

"Then... how about going further?" Angela seemed to intend to continue asking.

Sophie and Nicole's faces flashed a blush quickly, and then Nicole looked at the girl and said, "Honey, this topic shouldn't be discussed here!"

"Um... Ha, yes... I just... I mean I do... Oh, I mean, the surveys seem to show that lesbians seem to be... Damn, what am I talking about!" Angela covered her mouth and lowered her head Go, seems afraid to look at them, "Okay, I think I should go get a boyfriend."

Sophie and Nicole both kept silent, their heads tilted their heads, and the girl's words seemed to evoke something in their hearts. Fortunately, at this time, the person in charge of Fox walked in the middle and tapped the cup lightly to make a speech. It didn't make the sudden cold scene embarrassing.

Angela doesn't know how much impact her words will have. Of course, maybe it's not just these words, there are other factors, but it is undeniable that the change starts from these words .

And a long time later, when the girl looked back, she was still uncertain. Is it completely intentional, or is it just subconsciously driven to say that.

———

Angela pressed the last key, the melodious music finally slipped to the end, and then stood up to the thunderous applause of the audience, and bowed to thank the audience.

This is the last stop of Itzhak Perlman's National Charity Tour at Carnegie Hall in New York on May 30. According to the agreement, the girl was to be a guest performer again, but this time, unlike at the Kodak Theater, she only played two pieces in the middle. After all, she would not appear here in the original plan.

But Angela didn't care. When she promised Itzhak, her motives were impure, and all the performances that were supposed to be performed were performed in Los Angeles, so she hugged Itzhak in the chair. After kissing his cheek again, he thanked the audience again, and left the stage gracefully. Come backstage. Angela took a sigh of relief and immediately started changing clothes. Although the evening dress she wore tonight was not shoulderless and low-cut, it was still very uncomfortable to have her collarbone exposed.

Two or three times she changes into a shirt and jeans—it's become her standard look—and the girl goes to the dressing room again to ask a makeup artist to remove her makeup, and then she's leaving and heading back to Long Island, where she'd spoken to Itzhak earlier. Hello.

In fact, at first she planned to wait for the concert to end and wait at the door 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 finishing her things and was about to leave, a staff member suddenly pushed the door and came in, "A lady wants to see you, she said she is your friend."

"My friend?" Angela was stunned, her heart skipped a beat, did Natalie leave the stage early to see me? Squeezing her excitement, she didn't even ask more, 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 other party, he didn't expect her to follow: "Hey, miss, so did not qualified."

"Come on, Anji has promised to see me, there is nothing for you here." The girl made a face at him and quickly hid behind Angela. Then he stuck his head out and waved at the other party.

At this time, Angela wiped away the wry smile, helplessness, big head and other expressions 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 nice to meet you."

"Me too." Paris Hilton hugged Angela out, "You know, you're amazing, I've never heard such a wonderful tune!"

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

"But you know more instruments than him." Paris cried out in disapproval. "In my opinion, you are much better than him. You should hold a concert and he will be the guest performer..."

Angela wanted to correct her, it was a concert, not a concert, and the instruments at the concert were not necessarily perfect, but seeing how she couldn't keep the chatter away, she could only listen to her chatter with a wry smile, anyway, " You're awesome", "I really want to be able to do this", etc.

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

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

"Sorry, no, Paris, I still have a date with someone else!" Angela ran out without knowing her head, and quickly disappeared in the corridor. Paris, who couldn't catch up, immediately dropped her mouth, some In despair, he looked at the place where the girl disappeared, and finally stomped and turned away from another place.

Of course Angela ignored this, she left through the side door accompanied by Sparrow and got into Puguanshui's car.

"Are we going back now, miss?" Pu Guanshui asked.

The girl looked at the time. In 20 minutes, the concert was about to end. 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 hidden place but had an unobstructed view of the exit and stopped, and then began to wait quietly.

Twenty minutes was neither too long nor too short. It was finally over. Angela, who had been staring at the door of the concert hall, opened her eyes wide, trying to distinguish Natalie carefully. It's a pity that although the street lights are bright, it is impossible to illuminate them as clearly as in the daytime.

The girl could only try her best to identify her. She was lucky. She saw Liv alone and the Scarlett family, but unfortunately she couldn't get out of the car to greet them. And tonight's goal never came.

"Okay, I think we can go back." Angela looked at the dwindling crowd at the door, finally sighed, and waved her hand in dismay.

Pu Guan dipped the water, and was about to start the car and drive into the driveway. The girl suddenly called out, "Wait!" He asked him to step on the brakes quickly, but the powerful inertial check caused Sparrow to hit the glass. , and Angela was lying directly on the back of the car seat, but she couldn't care less. In a hurry, he looked out the window again, just on the street, a couple was walking talking and laughing, with their daughter beside them, Angela could see clearly, there was no one else except the Hesliger family!

The girl only felt that one of her hearts 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 flashed.

———

After coming out of the concert hall, Natalie followed her parents to the parking lot while listening to their parents' low-pitched discussions absentmindedly. Her mind is now on the figure playing the flute and piano on the stage.

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

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

Came to the parking lot, got into his father's car, and made his way to his home in Long Island.

"Darling, you should have made a complete reconciliation with Angie?" The mother asked suddenly during the exercise.

Natalie frowned slightly. Looking at the rearview mirror, my father was also looking at her, and he couldn't help shaking his head in his heart. Mom and Dad were still in the trenches with Angela, which was really depressing.

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

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

Natalie couldn't help but secretly rolled her eyes. She didn't mind going, but when she thought that she was actually having sex with Angela there, she felt a tingling in her heart, probably because she had a psychological shadow.

"I think, maybe." She said vaguely, suddenly stunned, and followed Bu on the car window. It was already home outside, and on the street outside the fence of her house, a petite figure was coming and going. Although she was wearing a hat and the light was very dim, Natalie still recognized who she was. She sometimes held her arms behind her back, sometimes 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

The father stopped the car on the side of the street at this time, and the sound immediately attracted the girl's attention, and she opened her eyes to look here.

And Natalie shook her head gently and cleared the thoughts in her head, opened the door and got out of the car with her mother.

"Mrs. Shirley, and Nat!" the girl 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, looking like she wanted to ask but didn't dare.

At the same time, he touched the girl lightly.

Natalie knew what her mother meant, and the kind of expectation Angela just showed made her feel pity, and immediately waved: "Hi, Angie, your performance is really good."
