From the beginning of 1996 to the present, Angela has been very leisurely for almost half a year. Apart from her studies, her work is nothing but music and guest appearances. Of course, after signing a long-term contract with Disney, she has to produce and record for the new album.
In short, she has pushed invitations for several films, many of which are big directors like Tim Burton, and only a few interview shows have revealed the production of "Blair Witch", and she has never taken commercials. - This is unimaginable for actresses who work hard in Hollywood. Even if it is still in the early age of the Internet, if you lose attention for a long time, it will inevitably decline in popularity.
However, this law doesn't work very well for Angela. Even if she stays out of the public eye for a long time, a random topic can still attract everyone's attention! In fact, there are many things in her that cannot be measured by common sense. To give the simplest example, which record company would bow down to its own singers to such an extent? Even though Hollywood Records was established in 1991, it is still a newcomer in the industry today, but its parent company is the animation giant Disney!
Family background is certainly one reason, but the strength she shows is the most important thing. Think about the previous "Blair Witch", and then think about her ability to compose and sing in movies and music. Although there is no one who cannot be replaced in Hollywood, it also depends on the situation. A person who can bring the greatest benefits at an appropriate price at any time is not someone who can be replaced if he wants to, such as Spielberg! Angela may be a lot worse, but no one can deny that she is developing in this direction.
Well, the topic has gone too far. The reason why the girl turned down the movie invitation and asked Disney to push the release date of the album to the end of 8th was because of the trip she had planned for a long time. In fact, this plan existed a long time ago, only However, there were no conditions to achieve it, and she had to put it in a corner until her 16th birthday, but even so, when she first proposed it in front of her parents, she still incurred their opposition.
"Shanghai, China? My dear, why did you think of going to China?" This was the mother's question.
"Why not?" Angela shrugged, "Grandma is half Chinese, and she cooks delicious Chinese food. She even taught me to speak Chinese. I have long wanted to visit that ancient country."
"Actually, you don't have to go to China. Haven't you been to many places in Europe? If you really want to go to Asia... How about the Maldives?" Mother tried to keep her tone calm.
"Come on Mom, it'll be alright, I just want a private, simple round-the-world tour, in Shanghai for a few days, then I'll go to Hong Kong, then Mumbai, then Europe, and Ryan Stein with me Me." Angela seemed very helpless, she didn't understand why her mother and grandma had always gotten along very well, why she still didn't have an intuitive impression of China. If her mother would not take the initiative to collect information in this regard, then she should be very clear why her father did not. disagree
"Or we can wait until you're 18, how about a family trip to China?" My father said tactfully.
"I'm 16 years old, Dad!" Angela emphasized.
Now that I'm 16, why can't I make my own decisions? Besides, have I worried you all over the years? —That was her subtext, but it was a long time before she knew what her father was really worried about.
After much consideration, her father finally agreed to her request, but at the same time he suggested that not only Puguanshui would follow, but Bucket would also go, and it was better to travel together! If it's not a problem to bring two bodyguards. But the latter one made her troubled.
"Go on a trip with you?" Natalie blinked in confusion, not understanding why Angela would make such a request at this moment.
"Yes." The girl explained her plan briefly, "I wanted to invite Jessica and Kate—oh, you haven't seen her yet, over there, wait to introduce you to each other—to come together. Yes, but one of them has a TV series appointment and the other has a movie appointment, so you are the only one left."
Of course, this is a bit false. How dare she invite Jessica, Kate and Natalie together, but this does not prevent her from saying so. Speaking of this, Angela couldn't help but sigh again. She knew that she would postpone the travel plan to her parents until the summer vacation. As a result, when she wanted to invite Jessica or Kate, they had already signed own film contract.
So the girl could only stare at Jessica beside her with a flat mouth, and Jessica could only shrug her shoulders and return an apologetic look. As for the other two equally helpless little guys, let's not say that they also have their own film contracts. Even if they don't, their parents will not allow them to travel with Angela.
"Don't reject me, okay? I know you just made a cameo role in Woody Allen's new movie, but it should be finished, right?" Angela deliberately pretended to be pitiful.
Natalie looked at Jessica and the others at Angela, sighed and spread her hands: "Don't you want me to answer yes or no now, Angie?"
"Of course not, I just hope you can think about it." Angela finally had a stone in her heart, as long as Natalie didn't refuse, then there was a way to get her to agree.
Next is the premiere of the movie. Angela is full of tension and anxiety in her heart like the first time, but she is very good at hiding these under the smiling face.
As far as the overall quality of the whole movie is concerned, it is still very good. Although the laughter of those plagiarized movies from the future certainly makes the audience laugh, but Angela's own made up scenes are also not bad! For example, in one of the scenes, which is a parody of Tom Cruise's "Spy: Impossible", Angela is about to jump out of the vent, and then Natalie complains to her: "What the hell is going on in your head? "Spy: Impossible" Did you watch too much?"
However, Angela on the screen waved her hand carelessly: "Don't worry, we are professionals!"
Although Cruise can't be seen, as long as he listens to the laughter around him, I believe he won't be too bad.
And several girls played their roles very well, especially Angela was full of joy, and Chris Columbus had a good grasp of the faint sense of nonsense when directing, it can be said that this "" "Little Ghosts" is not much worse than "Home Alone", but for some reason, Angela always feels that something is missing.
The 100-minute movie came to an end soon. After the lights came on, warm applause rang out. Obviously everyone was satisfied, but the real test had only begun. Angela, who stood up from her seat, could not help but clenched her fists. Take a deep breath.
"What's wrong?" Natalie, who stood up, noticed her small movements.
"It's nothing, I just..." After hesitating, she said it anyway, "I'm just thinking about what questions the reporters will ask later, I think the movie seems to be missing something."
"No, I think it's pretty good." Jessica replied, and Lindsay and Scarlett also nodded in agreement.
"I know, I heard everyone's laughter." Angela made a gesture, but she didn't know what to say for a while, and finally she simply waved: "Let's go out first, don't let those reporters wait in a hurry. already."
Just as she was leaving the screening room, Natalie suddenly accelerated her pace and came to Angela's side, and said softly, "Angie, aren't you nervous?"
"Nervous? Probably some, after all, I've been playing since 1991.
Second pure comedy. The girl shrugged calmly, while Natalie turned her mouth slightly up after taking a deep look at her and didn't speak.
Angela, who had a panoramic view, breathed a sigh of relief in her stomach. Nat's observation skills were really keen. Fortunately, when she was with Jessica and Kate just now, there were only some small mood swings between them. It's not good to come out.
In the front hall, the reporters after watching the movie are already waiting here. The next thing is that the producer, director, and starring will say a few words, and then the reporters will ask some questions, and then it will end.
"I'm glad I heard everyone's laughter while watching, I'm sure it wasn't because I thought my friend's performance was too clumsy. For a comedy movie, it's already very successful to make the audience laugh from the heart. , thank you for your support!" Angela's speech was very simple.
But the reporters would not let her go because of her low profile. A reporter immediately raised his hand and asked, "Miss Angela, did you personally choose the supporting roles of "Little Ghosts"?"
The girl squinted her eyes, and she understood what the other party meant. After all, the "Los Angeles Evening News" incident 4 years ago, although ordinary people don't know the inside story, but the insiders of each newspaper know it to some extent. Now both parties are involved. In front of them, they naturally had to take a side-kick.
"Actually, I didn't know that Disney invited my friends to the show, but if I were asked to choose actors, I would still choose them, because I always add the characteristics of the people around me when I design the characters, Na Tully, Jessica, Lindsay, and Scarlett are all my friends, so it's perfect for them to play." Angela smiled and spread her hands, saying that in 1992, many people only Will shrug in disapproval, but that's different today!
Therefore, the reporters did not continue to entangle on this topic, and another female reporter raised her hand again: "Miss Angela, we all know that you and Miss Natalie are friends, when are you and the other three young ladies? know?"
"We met very early, Jessica and I went to elementary school together until graduation, and she played my stand-in in "Born to Be"! As for Scarlett, if you still remember, in "Hide and Seek" There is a cameo girl character in it is her..." Angela glanced at the girls around her covertly as she talked eloquently.
They've always been low-key - even Natalie - barely noticed by the media, but not after today, when the pervasive reporters will soon clean them up like Kate, that way It might be better to say something first, so that the tabloids don't make a big fuss about it.
At this time, another reporter raised his hand: "Miss Angela, does the appearance of "Little Ghosts and Thief" indicate that you intend to enter the field of nonsense comedy films?"
This question made the girl suddenly stunned. The reporter's question was very simple, but it made her unintentionally understand why she always felt that something was missing from the movie!
