Looking back on it afterwards, Angela herself was surprised that so many thoughts went through her head in just a few minutes. If the editorial team found that the script of "The Mummy" surprised and delighted her, then "A Middle-aged Man" "Death" made her very happy, because this script should be renamed after it was made into a movie: "American Beauty"!
The script that should have appeared in DreamWorks has now fallen into the hands of the Pixar Film Department. I have to say that fate is really wonderful. This is a movie that has won both box office and word of mouth, and it is also a big winner at the Oscars! It seems that I can take the time to go to the editorial team occasionally to see, maybe I can find some good movies with only vague concepts, and then give the production department full responsibility. It can grow quickly over time.
But this is not the most important, "The Death of a Middle-aged Man"... Well, the appearance of the "American Beauty" script has given Angela a better choice, although it is planned to be officially announced after her 18th birthday next year. At the beginning, but she was still hesitant to choose which one to start with. Each has its own strengths and weaknesses, and they are not so easy to drive.
It was not until she discovered the script of "American Beauty" that Angela realized that she had forgotten such an important movie. Fortunately, her luck was always good. Obviously, using this movie as a starting point is much better than other films, not to mention word-of-mouth and box office, it is enough that there is no big scene, as for understanding what the script is trying to express, it is not a problem for Angela at all, so in those few days. After a few minutes of thinking, she immediately decided to buy the script, and after repeated reflections and memories in the next few days, she was even more convinced that it was a wise decision.
The efficiency of the film department was very fast. The script for "The Death of a Middle-Aged Man" was negotiated in just a few days. This is not unrelated to Angela's request to win it. Anyway, the screenwriter Alan Ball is opposite. The price was very satisfactory, but Angela also clearly told Allen that the film would not start shooting until at least early next year, and that the script still needs to be revised. After a while, she will sort out her opinions and hope he can make changes. , Although Alan was a little surprised - Angela's scripts are mostly horror films, comedies, romance films, and family ethics films don't seem to be involved - but he nodded and agreed, after all, the title of Miss Genius is there, he is very I want to know what kind of opinions Angela can come up with.
As for the signing of "The Mummy", I encountered a little trouble. Fortunately, Angela made a simple investigation on Stephen Sommers, and then I remembered the previous small unpleasant experience. No wonder I feel a little bit. Familiar.
This made her a little embarrassed. After all, she really didn't know how to restrain herself and went too far. Fortunately, this Mr. Sommers is also a character who has become more and more courageous. He has achieved good results in terms of director and producer, but the screenwriter has But nothing was accomplished. This time, the "The Mummy" script was also completed by his friend after he proposed the idea. In fact, this script will be sent to the Pixar film department entirely by his friend Chat Jeffcott.
I don't know if Somo still remembers that unpleasant incident. Anyway, he was quite a lion. He asked not only to direct this movie but also to be a producer. Angela naturally agreed, anyway, according to what she collected. According to the data, Sommers's directing skills are still very good, and his conditions are mostly tentative. If the film company invests, then even if the director is also the producer, the opinion of the producer assigned by the film company is still the main thing. His offer for the script is also within the acceptable range.
Angela's cheerfulness made Somo a little at a loss, and the unpleasantness disappeared immediately. At the same time, there was no objection to the girl's opinion that filming would start this time next year. Although there were some minor ups and downs in general, Angela's plan was realized, so she was very happy, but even more happy was that Jobs gave her an affirmative answer!
"What should I say." Jared leaned back on the large chair, put his hands folded on the armrests on both sides, and looked at his daughter with a playful smile, "You came to the office on purpose, did you mean it? Have you heard the will of God again?"
"Okay, Dad, this is just a normal investment." Angela shrugged, "I think Apple deserves a capital injection right now. As a member of the board of directors, you don't want to see new capital injections into the company. ?"
"I resigned from Apple's board of directors at the beginning of last year, my dear, your news is not very well-informed." The father chuckled and shook his head. The girl couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed and grabbed her head in embarrassment. She seldom cares about her career, but it's not that she doesn't care about her parents, but she has never thought about it at all.
"I just wanted to ask, Chris, what kind of charm does that guy Steve have that deserves your attention?" Jared asked jokingly, Angela's face immediately turned red, and she glared at her father. shouted in protest, "Dad!"
"Okay, okay, I said the wrong thing." Jared laughed and quickly raised his hand, "Darling, don't be nervous, I just want to sigh." He said, staring at his daughter's beautiful face , "Although my daughter is still cute, she has become more beautiful and charming than her mother. Sometimes I can't help but think which lucky person will make her wear a wedding dress."
The girl turned her head away somewhat uncomfortable, and couldn't help coughing: "I'm only 17 years old, Dad!"
"Yes, I know, but sometimes you feel mature beyond your 17-year-old. And sometimes you feel like you're just in your early 10s." Father said leisurely.
"Dad! I'm here to discuss my investment today, are you against it?"
"Objection? How is it possible," Jared smiled wryly after recovering from his sigh, "If you object, God knows how you'll make me restless, and I'm also optimistic about Steve this time, but I didn't expect that he would You get the investment there."
"That's great, Dad thank you!" Angela immediately jumped up and rushed behind the desk to give her father a big hug. The accountant had already told her that if the capital injection was successful, she would have at least 19% of the shares, which is too cost-effective !
Jared smiled and patted his daughter's head lovingly. The scene of a father's kindness and filial piety was quite warm, and then the happy girl was about to leave: "Then I won't disturb your office now, Dad, I Disappear immediately!"
But her father suddenly called her: "Wait, Chris."
"What's wrong?" Gila, who had already reached the door, turned around.
"You recently..." Father; weaved the words, "Did something happen between you and Annie recently?"
Angela was stunned for a while, followed by Qi Qi Ai who was a little embarrassed and said, "We had a quarrel once, over a trivial matter." The movement was natural, and there was no other emotion in it at all.
"Jennifer once told me she saw Annie wiping away her tears more than once," Jared said with a small pause. "You shouldn't make your friend sad, Chrissy!"
The child sighed softly, and an imperceptible hesitation flashed in his eyes: "I see, Dad."
On the way home, Angela kept thinking about this issue. Of course she saw Annie's sadness, but she still didn't want or dared to talk to her. As long as Annie appeared in front of her, she would be stripped naked. The feeling made her extremely frightened.
But her father's words made her have to re-examine herself. Obviously, even now, Annie has kept this secret well for her and didn't tell anyone. She obviously did something... No, it's too much!
Some pictures suddenly flashed in my head, the surprise of meeting for the first time, the brand new room that was always tidy up, the joy of everyone being together during the filming of "Little Ghosts and Thief", and the coffee cup I always handed in front of me when I was sleepy writing ... Angela only felt that her heart was stuffy, and she felt like she wanted to preach loudly.
Apologize, she is your friend and your sister! The girl said to herself in her heart.
When I got home, my mother was not there. After saying hello to the housekeeper, Angela went back to her room. She rested for a few minutes, then got up and adjusted her clothes, facing the full-length mirror. When documenting, he bit his finger for a long time and didn't type a single letter. He just looked at the door from time to time. Although he had already decided to apologize, what should he say
The knock on the door finally rang, Angela was slightly startled, and then quickly tidied up her clothes again, rubbed her face again, sat down in front of the notebook, and put her hands on the keyboard before using an indifferent expression. The tone said: "Please come in."
Annie walked in, her face was very calm, and she could not see any other emotions. She went straight to the closet with the clothes basket in her hand. After opening it, she sorted and hung the clothes or folded them and placed them in categories, as carefully as expected.
Angela absently typed on the keyboard, completely unaware of the irregular letters in the document.
Speak up, haven't you already made up your mind! The girl said loudly to herself in her heart, but every time it reached her throat, she couldn't get up again, as if something was blocking it.
Soon, Annie had packed everything up, and still picked up the basket and walked out silently. Angela was a little anxious, and stood up with a loud voice: "Annie, wait a minute!"
Annie stopped in her footsteps, turned her body and lowered her head and asked in a low voice, "Is there anything else, miss?"
Although the tone was flat and had no emotional ups and downs, the phrase "Miss" deeply stabbed Angela's heart. Have they reached this point
"I'm sorry Annie," she blurted out, "I know I hurt you, and I'm sorry about that, God knows, I didn't mean to! I'm sorry. That's the most secret thing in my heart, I never thought of it Being turned out like that, I'm just scared, I don't know how to face you, do you think it's bad. That's why it's so gaffe... "
Angela exhaled and slowed down: "Annie, forgive me, please, I'm really sorry, I don't want to lose you, and I don't want us to become like this, okay?"
The girl's mood was agitated, and it seemed that apology was not so difficult. But Annie had been standing quietly, without making a sound or raising her head, which made Angela a little nervous.
"Annie..." She whispered, but the other party didn't respond. When she was about to say the second sentence, Annie's shoulders trembled slightly, and finally she raised her head, her beautiful big eyes were full of tears. She just bit her lip and didn't want to make a sound.
Angela's heart suddenly softened, and after a slight sigh, she walked over, hugged Annie from behind, and said in the lowest voice in her ear, "I'm sorry!"
