Many years later, whenever Angela thinks back to this night, she will be both grateful and regretful. Fortunately, she originally planned to put the camera in the room to record this memorable moment, but because the camera was too It didn't work very well, so she finally gave up on the plan - it became one of the few times in her miserable life that she left no evidence.
And regret is not leaving the camera! When she woke up in the morning, everyone was sleeping on the ground, her head was against Lindsay's belly, and the other party pressed her thighs against her face, Natalie huddled in her He was holding one of her arms in his arms, Jessica was holding her from behind, one leg was on her waist, and Scarlett was resting on Jessica's other leg and hugged her thigh again. In her arms, while Anne's legs were sandwiched between her other legs, around Natalie's waist, in short, a few girls, you and me, and you were intertwined, lying on the floor whirring big sleep.
For the first time Angela noticed they were different when they slept, Lindsay would drool - all on her head; Scarlett would bite - there must be teeth marks on her thighs; Jessica's hands were always tight Written something - just on her chest; Annie's legs were so tight - the one she was holding was almost numb; only Natalie was better, she just held her arm tightly Don't relax, it's obvious that this has more or less traces of bullying her last night.
But the girl at that time didn't have the slightest thought of revenge, and her mind was full of regret and pity. If she had a camera in her hand and photographed them all, it would be the best memorial!
In short, she felt that this morning was the best morning in her life. It's better than swimming at Marbury's private beach on the weekend, or having a picnic in the woods on the outskirts. Angela doesn't know the reason, and she doesn't want to know, maybe because there's something behind it that you can't and don't want to touch .

"If you can't stop her, then we're finished. My suggestion is to knock out and take it back!" After Natalie finished reading this line, she couldn't help but look up after not seeing the other party's response for a long time. Jessica was in front of her. Looking away in trance.
"What's the matter, Jesse? You asked me to come here because you were in a daze over the lines." Natalie frowned imperceptibly.
"What?" Jessica came back to her senses. "Oh, sorry, there seems to be something wrong with Angie over there."
Natalie followed where she was pointing. By the water tower of the leased venue, Angela was arguing with director Chris Columbus. Several assistants and Disney's production manager were also persuading her. Agent Jack Sparrow similarly objected to her shaking her head, but it was clear Angela was sticking to her opinion.
"I think it might be better for us to go and have a look." Jessica said this. So far, "Little Ghosts" has been filmed for more than two weeks, and this is the first time I have seen Angela arguing with the director like this.
"Sometimes Angie is stubborn, and our persuasion effect is better than others." Jessica added. It was obviously the first time for Natalie to hear about it, and she was a little surprised: "Really?"
"Yes. I remember when I was in elementary school, the school wanted her to perform at the Christmas party, but because she had to wear a skirt and stockings, she didn't want to, even if Mrs. Elena persuaded her to listen. Finally I chatted with her a few times, and she asked me if I really wanted to see her perform, and I answered yes, so I reluctantly agreed." Jessica's mouth unknowingly revealed a smile, as if recalling scene at the time.
Natalie saw all this, and she felt a little jealous in her heart: "You have known each other since elementary school, and it is normal for her to listen to you."
Jessica, who was thinking about something, didn't hear the tone of Natalie's words. Of course, with her relatively simple personality, even if she listened carefully, she might not be able to hear it, so she just pulled her: "Let's go. , let's go and see. Lindsay and Manny's filming is over, the two of us can persuade her."
When I came to the edge of the water tower, I happened to hear Angela calling her bodyguard: "Ryan, come here."
Soon, Pu Guanshui separated the crowd and came in from the outside, and then Angela held her chest out, with her hands on her hips and her thumbs pointing proudly at the water tower behind her: "Tell them, Ryan, if I jump from above with a rope attached , will something be wrong?"
The other party looked at her and then at the water tower, then glanced at Sparrow beside him, and then shrugged: "Sorry, miss, this is not a question I should answer."
"Damn it! What is this!" Angela cried, "Guiding me when my grandma wasn't around? Who told me to keep exercising?! Who said that even if I can't defend myself, do something difficult? There is no problem with the action?!"
"Miss, I think you'd better calm down." Pu Guanshui raised his hands with a wry smile, and glanced at Sparrow beside him.
At this time, Jessica and Natalie, who came over, had roughly guessed what they were talking about in their conversation. There is such a scene in the movie. After Betty decided to take over the task, she entrusted Lilith to collect information. While pulling on Martha's training to take off the eaves and wall, one of the shots is Betty jumping off the water tower with a safety rope, and one rolls over and stops firmly 3 feet above the ground.
"Angie, don't you want to jump from above yourself?" Jessica called out immediately.
"Aren't you pairing the lines, Jesse?" Angela turned her head.
"That doesn't matter!" Jessica stared at her seriously. "What matters is you, Angie! Are you crazy! The water tower is at least dozens of feet high, what if it falls?"
"How could that be?" The girl shrugged disapprovingly. "I've seen it in the props team. They've done a good job of protecting them. Besides, the stuntmen can do it, so why can't I?"
"Damn it! Stuntmen are trained so they know how to react when something goes wrong. Don't you know that?" Jessica looked a little exasperated.
"Who said I didn't know?" Angela smiled suddenly, then looked at Natalie: "Nat, do you remember the wooden stake in my grandma's house? The plum-shaped one?"
"What?" Natalie, who had been observing Jessica carefully, did not expect that the girl would suddenly ask her a question, so she couldn't help being stunned, but she immediately responded: "Yes, you are coming upstairs. The thing that went away."
"Bingo! That's it." Angela snapped her fingers, then patted Jessica, and glanced at the people around her who were waiting for her to change her mind: "Okay, everyone, just give me a look!"
Followed her to the ladder of the water tower and started to stretch her arms and press her legs to do warm-up exercises.
"What is she going to do?" Jessica looked at Angela in confusion and asked Natalie beside her. Not only she doesn't understand, most people around don't understand.
"What is Angie going to do?" Sparrow also asked Pu Guanshui.
"Probably..." Pu Guanshui scratched his chin, not knowing what expression to use, "she wanted to prove that she could perform this scene herself.
"She wants to tell us she can do it herself," Natalie told Jessica.
"Okay!" Angela's voice rang out, and everyone immediately turned their attention to her. The girl took a deep breath, her knees slightly bent and she suddenly kicked hard, jumping up like a spring, her dexterous hands grabbed the ladder and instantly jumped up to 5 or 6 feet high, followed by one foot hooked in the exclamations of the crowd. He turned upside down and came back, and then turned over several times to perform several difficult movements, making everyone put their hearts in their throats.
Angela's time to practice martial arts is not short. Although there is no grandmother to supervise in Los Angeles, there is Pu Guanshui next to her to "instruct" her according to her grandma's request - he can do everything, except for martial arts, according to his words, it has become a habit and instinct from childhood to adulthood , so don't be sloppy at all - although the girl often screams, but the body is more and more sensitive and flexible, and even the chest has grown several times.
With another exclamation, the girl volleyed over and fell to the ground steadily, followed by warm applause from all around, only Pu Guanshui shook his head slightly. After Angela landed, she looked back and leaned back. If she hadn't sunk her body quickly, she would have at least stepped back several steps in a row. Obviously, no matter how she practiced, she was still showing off her legs.
"Oh my God, Angie, how did you do that?!" Jessica was visibly stunned.
"This is the Chinese Kung Fu that I practiced with my grandma, you know? Chinese Kung Fu!" Angela said with a smile, "Nat knows a little bit, she watched me practice."
"Yes, when I was in New York." Although Natalie said it plainly, there was a glimmer of joy in her heart, there was always something you didn't know!
At this time, the director came over after discussing with Sparrow and the staff of the props team: "Angela, miss, in principle we can agree to you to act in this scene in person."
No promise, no, the girl's actions have clearly shown her determination, so all they can do is to work harder on safety.
"We're going to add two more safety lines in addition to the original ones."
"Okay, I know it can be removed with a computer in post-production, but don't you think it's too much to add two more?"
"we must… "
"Well, Mr. Chris, let's add one," Angela said, shrugging. "Look, instead of arguing over this issue, it's better to start shooting as soon as possible."
Chris touched his chin and immediately nodded in agreement, so the shooting of this shot started.
As long as the girl insists on going into battle in person, she is still influenced by some movies and wants to try to do this kind of dangerous action. But no matter how well she thought about it in her head, if she actually did it, it would cost her life. Anyone jumping from dozens of feet of water towers wouldn't feel good—even with a safety line attached—and had to jump on it several times, which made Angela so depressed that on the last few occasions, she simply refused the job around her. The personnel checked the security situation for her, and they only wanted to finish it as soon as possible and then go down.
"Prepare! This is the last time!" The camera rose to the middle of the water tower, "Start!"
Angela looked down and took a deep breath, opened her arms and jumped down, calculating the length of the rope in the whistling wind, while the rope pulled herself violently, she twisted her body and became the letter "I" in the air. ".
"Very good!" Chris clapped his hands, Angela in the air finally breathed a sigh of relief, and it was over.
At this moment, a slamming sound came from behind, followed by his body suddenly falling down.
This is? ! Angela was taken aback, and before she could react, with another cry, the safety cable connecting her shoulders came loose, and her whole body suddenly hung upside down in the air.
There were screams all around, and the girl's mind went blank. Although she had shown the ability to deal with danger before, she was inexperienced after all, so she didn't know what to do at all, and the safety cable connected to her feet finally broke. There was a disconnection, and in front of everyone's eyes, Angela fell straight down like a wooden stake.
boom!
