Compared to the crowded dance floor, the corner of the garden is undoubtedly much quieter. The guests are chatting with each other politely, like a small reception. After all, there are people with identities here.
For example, many stars—Nicole Kidman, who has already started working with George Clooney and Spielberg on new films and came here after time; or directors—David, who was firmly in the front line because of the "Seven Deadly Sins" released last year. Finch; and executives from various studios and colleagues at Pixar—yes, colleagues, there's no such thing as top or bottom at Pixar.
"Actually I agree with John, but it's important to note that if the producer can really come up with three different, but equally good ideas, it's worth keeping even if they don't get picked, sometimes we're just I lack some good ideas to turn my thoughts around, and maybe one day I will turn from the old paper pile and produce an amazing work." Among John, Andrew and others, Angela talked eloquently, in the Here she is an elegant lady.
"I agree, we have no shortage of ideas, but we can't waste them, can we?" Andrew Stanton took over.
Angela still wanted to speak, but Sally, who had been holding back her yawning desire, finally couldn't help pulling her, and whispered in her ear, "Can we leave, Chris?"
"What's wrong?" the girl asked in a low voice.
"Don't you think it's weird?" Sally sighed amusingly, "This is your birthday party, why do we have a good time over there, but we have to come over and talk to them about work?"
"But we didn't talk about work." Angela showed an innocent expression, "Do you think we just talked about work?"
It wasn't until the other party started to stare at her that the girl burst into a smile and whispered: "I don't want to, Sally, but I'm the master, so I can't be too rude, right?"
She really doesn't want to, so, but there is no way, the reception is a place to communicate - even if it is not a formal reception - for example, James Cameron, who also took time to come, pays more attention to the quality and progress of the girl's soundtrack ; while Warners and Disney executives are taking great pains to sign Angela singer long-term contracts.
Similarly, the guests are also talking about topics of interest. For example, Sally's father, Steve Jobs, has been chatting with Jared and several investors. After Microsoft's WIN95 was released last year, Apple Inc. To make matters worse, it is said that he intends to acquire Steve Jobs' NeXT, and then ask him to go back to serve as CEO again. Whether this news is true or not, he has to prepare both hands, knowing that he is still the president of Pixar.
So, every time a girl comes over from the dance floor, take the time to talk to a lot of people, even if you don't make any decisions.
"Okay, then..." Sally looked at her watch, "you've been here long enough, should you go?"
"Got it, got it," Angela rolled her eyes, "I remember you went to college at Stanford, right? Aren't you interested in this?"
"Why should I be interested?" Sally asked rhetorically.
"Don't you plan to inherit your father's business in the future?"
"Will you inherit your father's career in the future?" Sally asked again.
Angela only thought for a few seconds, then took the other party's hand and clapped: "Let's go over."
After saying hello to Ed and the others, the two girls left the reception and returned to the party. On the makeshift stage, the invited band was playing hard, while the young men and women danced to the music. If you don't like dancing, there are also other things to play with.
"Hey, Angie, where did you go missing?" After Angela greeted a few classmates, Lindsay emerged from the side, her face covered in cream, and the all-you-can-eat ice cream was now hers Favorite.
"I have to run at both ends, it's not like you don't know." The girl pinched her little nose, "Don't eat too many cold drinks, dear, or it will be bad if your stomach is broken."
"I've told her many times, but she just doesn't listen." Jessica, who was chasing Lindsay, said angrily, and then said hello to Sally—as soon as they came, Angela Introduce each other.
"Is that so? Then I'll ask the waiter to stop serving ice cream to Lindsay." The girl looked at Lindsay narrowly, and the latter pouted unhappily, and then reluctantly said after a while, "Okay. ,I see."
"Hey, Angie, so you're here." The two girls came through the crowd one after the other. It was Britney and Christina. When they parted at the amusement park last time, Jessica asked her if she was invited. They attended her birthday party. Of course Angela couldn't tell if she didn't, so she invited the two of them in person, and they agreed readily, so they appeared here today.
"Have you had a good time?" If she was still a little embarrassed and hesitant when she invited her, but now she doesn't care about it anymore, and she has done it anyway, can she still deny it? It's better to let the two of them really settle down, so as not to trouble themselves.
"Of course, it's great." Christina seemed very happy, while Britney murmured to Lindsay, who had already wiped her face, smiling as if they were in a good relationship. If Paris was here too, And if you have a good time chatting with them, it will be really fun.
But Angela didn't bother to think about this kind of thing that hasn't happened yet. She looked around and decided to make the atmosphere warmer, so she clapped her hands and looked at Britney and Christina: "I'll go up and sing a song, Would you like to dance with me?"
The eyes of the two girls lit up, and both asked, "Which song?"
"Everyone is familiar, you should also skip "God is a Girl" when you practice!" The girl said with a smile, and walked to the back of the stage.
The band invited is from Disney. She has collaborated many times when she promotes an album. They are very familiar with each other. After listening to Angela's request, they agreed immediately.
So soon, the girl who changed clothes appeared on the stage: "Hi, how are you all?"
The young people who complained about the sudden stop of the music were shocked and looked at Angela on the stage in surprise. You must know that there are not many girls singing live, except for publicity, they only appear on the show.
Occasionally I sing once, which is very rare, so all the people rushed to the stage in an instant.
"Okay, today is my 16th birthday, I'm very happy that everyone can come to my party, so I'll sing the last song to express my thanks, thank you for coming!" The girl waved her hand, the familiar voice of "God is a Girl" The melody sounded immediately, making the young people below even more excited.
"One more word, in order not to make you feel sad, so don't force me, okay?" Angela grinned. Before everyone could ask, she opened her mouth to sing the lyrics, and put on her clothes and stood behind her. Britney and Christina began to dance. As the earliest dance song for girls, the dance moves of this song have long been familiar to everyone, but the two of them have a different taste when they dance. Because of their age, they appear more The enthusiasm and liveliness of the two of them, and the two of them have a tacit understanding to bring out this advantage. From this aspect, they are very talented in dancing.
Angela just held the microphone and the stand to sing, and occasionally twisted her body, as she said just now, it would be bad if everyone covered their faces and sighed, but this way, her focus was mainly on singing. , the magnetic voice made this fast-paced song more passionate and energetic than the original, making the young people under the stage whistle again and again.
"If I go up, I can dance just as well." Lindsay pouted in disapproval.
"Don't be silly, just because you're doing well doesn't mean you're doing well." Jessica tapped her on the head.
"It's the first time I've heard her sing live," Sally shook her head at this time, with some emotion. "Although we grew up together, I knew she would be extraordinary, but I never thought she would be so dazzling."
"You grew up together?" Jessica blinked, Angela briefly mentioned Sally's family when she introduced her, but said nothing else.
"Forget it, you know, our father is a business partner. I used to come here a lot to play. It wasn't until Mr. Jared decided to go down the mountain to live temporarily." Sally explained.
"So what was Angie like in the past? Is there anything interesting to talk about?" Lindsay's eyes widened immediately, and the fire of gossip was burning inside.
"Don't be like this, Lindsay, don't you think it's rude?" Jessica said this, but she glanced at Sally from time to time, obviously she also wanted to know.
Sally burst out laughing: "Okay, let me think about it..."
However, before she could figure it out, Angela's voice came over: "It's not a good thing to speak ill of others behind your back, Sally!" She brought Britney and the two of them down.
"Didn't I say it yet?" Sally stuck out her tongue, then looked at the crowd that had dispersed: "Just sing one? I thought you would sing more."
"I said I'll sing one song to improve the atmosphere, why do I need to sing more." The girl shrugged. After singing just now, even if everyone asked to sing again, the guys in the film club who were afraid of the world being in chaos even shouted. Call, but still did not let her change her mind.
"Really? It's really big, I thought I could hear a few more words." Another voice came, and Angela looked at the person who came over in surprise, it was Kate!
"You don't say a word when you leave over there." After coming to the front, the other party couldn't help complaining.
"But you should socialize over there, shouldn't you?" Angela spread her hands.
"Honey, this is your 16th birthday party, not a cocktail party, is it?" Kate waved.
"Okay, okay, since everyone is here, let's find a place to rest first." The girl didn't refuse, and a few of them chatted with each other in a slightly secluded corner of the garden.
"Of course he is handsome, and I like it too, especially the image in "Interview with the Vampire"!" Lindsay and Britney were talking about movies.
"It's actually not difficult to dance, but it takes effort to dance well, and when Brit and I were at Disney..." Christina explained the dance to Sally.
Angela occasionally interjected a sentence or two, and more of it was listening. She felt that it was a happy thing.
"Did Sally grow up with you?" Kate suddenly came over.
"What's wrong?" The girl turned around, a little surprised, then looked at her with a smile and asked in a low voice, "Don't you think there is something between me and her?"
Kate squeezed her face angrily and hilariously, and still whispered, "In your heart, I am this kind of person?"
"Okay, okay, you're not, I was wrong." The girl rolled her eyes, "Sally is my best friend to a certain extent. We were very close at first..."
After briefly explaining to Kate, Angela spread her hands: "So, that's it, what are you asking this for?"
"Jesse said that Sally knew a lot of things about you when you were young, and I want to know what I don't know." Kate said with a smile on her cheek with one hand.
"Really, I think it's better for you not to be delusional." The girl snorted and said.
At this moment, a plate was handed over: "Angie, Kate, would you like something to drink?"
Looking up, Jessica went to get a plate at some point and brought some drinks, and Angela, who was overjoyed, immediately picked a glass of strawberry juice: "Thank you, Jessie."
"It's nothing." Jessica smiled and turned to Kate. "How about you, Kate? No wine though."
"It's okay, the juice is not bad." Kate picked up a glass and continued chatting with Angela.
Bringing the plate to the other person, Jessica couldn't help but glanced at Angela. Seeing the other person's focused expression, she couldn't help sighing in her stomach and hesitated.
