For Angela, it is really a hassle to hold a large-scale concert. It takes a lot of time from rehearsal to the official singing, especially if it is a US tour, it will take at least half a year. People who are very "lazy" in music, think It is absolutely impossible for her to use so much energy to run a lap from east to west, and have to keep training, rehearsing, and dealing with other miscellaneous things! Besides, she has other things to keep busy, and these all take time.
But this time, she had to seriously consider it. Sparrow is right. Even if she wants to go behind the scenes, it shouldn't be now, and she had already considered this issue when she hinted to Disney that there might be a concert, and she really wanted to do it. Early next year is the best time, because according to her plan, she will be very busy for several consecutive years starting from the second half of next year, and it is impossible to have extra time, so if it was not a big possibility before, it is basically necessary now. confirmed.
Of course, the specific situation still needs to be discussed. Although the SAT test in a few months will be fine, there are still three APs to try next year. She also needs to supervise the later work of "The Matrix" and two new scripts. time and energy.
After the fan meeting in Los Angeles, the promotion of the new album has come to an end temporarily, and the rest is nothing more than interviews. Loving you" and "To Mother", which takes the country warmth route, also topped the major charts one after another. The record company was naturally rejoicing and Angela also rested at ease, so the girl went to New York again after a week.
In the thunderous applause of the audience, the actors on the stage once again walked to the center and bowed to the audience. Angela put down her eyes and clapped with her eyes. She followed her and said a few words to Sparrow beside her, and then asked the waiter to let her go. He took himself backstage.
"Congratulations, darling, it's really excellent." After a warm hug with Natalie, Angela kissed the other's face gently, although Natalie rolled her eyes, she also kissed back One: "Thank you!"
The two girls both laughed, and then Natalie greeted several leading actors and took Angela out.
"I'm really happy that you can come to my first performance." Holding the girl's hand, Natalie looked at Angela with a smile. Although her tone was light, the joy and emotion in it were self-evident. .
"I promised, how could I miss the appointment, and this is your favorite "Annie Diary"." Angela patted the back of her hand lightly, "Your interpretation is very good, listen to the applause at that time every time. Every time is like thunder, and it takes so much time just for the curtain call, you should take at least 70% of the credit, and I bet tomorrow's newspaper will say the same."
"It's really flattering to hear such a compliment." Natalie exaggeratedly exclaimed, and then sighed with relief: "Actually, as you said, as my favorite story, how can I not do my best."
"Since I'm right, is there any reward?" Angela asked deliberately. As soon as she finished speaking, Natalie came over and touched her lips, then quickly glanced around and vomited after finding that there was no one else. Sticking out his tongue showing a good expression. Angela couldn't help but burst out laughing, stretched out her hand and squeezed lightly on Natalie's waist.
Natalie gave her a pretentious look before asking again, "Are you going back tomorrow?"
"Of course, we have to go to school on Monday." Angela nodded and smiled slightly: "However, it's okay to leave a little later tomorrow, so we still have at least one morning, how about shopping, lunch and watching a movie? "
"Do you want to watch your "Stealing and Kidnapping"?" Natalie blurted out, and Angela's expression changed slightly.
"Stealing and Kidnapping" was released three days ago. Although this week has not yet ended, it is estimated that the box office will not exceed 20 million over the weekend. The general feedback from fans is that the lines are very interesting. The scene transitions are smooth and the soundtrack is also very good, especially the ending is very surprising: after the three young people played by Sean and the others found nothing in the end, they instructed the girl played by Jordana to dispose of the fake gemstones and found the old man. The note that the dog Simi left them, only then did they know that the gems were real, so they hurried out to catch up; at this time, Xiao Qiao had come to the river, and as a woman, she liked these shiny things - even if they were Fake, so I have been hesitant to throw it away. But in the end, she threw it down, but she didn't throw it into the river, so she went down and picked it up again and began to hesitate, interspersed with the scenes of Sean and the others rushing over, and finally it was fixed when Xiao Qiao was ready to raise There are three other figures in the distance behind the hands.
From this suspenseful ending, it can be seen that Angela still put in a lot of effort, and then some problems are fatal. After those praises, fans all think that the clues are too messy and the plot is a bit fragmented, although the ending is understood But I don't understand why this is happening. Simply put, the story is not well told!
The fans' opinions are good, and the critics are completely one-sided. They have basically the same views on character performance. "Bento King" Simi Wu is the most eye-catching and the best. Jordana's image and performance are also well received, and several other young people are also remarkable. However, when it comes to clues and plots, although there is not a flood of bad reviews, they all hold guns and sticks, and they show no mercy.
"The dialogue is very humorous, and the language of the camera is quite satisfactory, but the messy clues make people look like flowers in the fog. Miss Mason obviously forgot where the thread went when she was knitting the sweater. As a result, although the clothes were knitted, the patterns were messy. , Obviously, although Miss Genius is very smart, she still needs to learn in terms of directing!"
This kind of evaluation is already relatively positive. Some people seem to see a water dog and can't wait to throw a stone and smash it into the bottom of the water.
"Personally, I think Miss Angelason should just go back to filming MTV for a few more years. Let's talk about it. Even those talented non-academic directors have created their own film language through countless attempts. A young girl of a few years, even if she is a recognized genius, can only make MTV-style movies like "Lola Run" at most. As for those movies with depth, especially those with non-linear narratives, they should be left to strong logic. Let’s do it with a male director!”
Although Angela had anticipated such a situation when she was preparing the script, and continued to understand herself throughout the filming and production, it was necessary for her to do so, but she was still not very comfortable when it happened.
The reason why she chose a semi-original script written by herself when she was the second director, instead of finding a relatively familiar low-budget movie in the "treasure box", was to see what advantages and disadvantages she had as a director, so she was in the "treasure box". When the director makes the production, it is completely based on what he has learned and mastered, which is why he has always done it very easily.
"I'm sorry, Angie." Natalie regretted it as soon as she said it, and she couldn't help but feel even more annoyed when she saw Angela like this.
"It's okay, Nat, it's true that I didn't do it well this time." Allah returned to his original appearance somewhat, shaking his head with a smile.
"Anyway, don't take it too seriously, Angie, those comments I've made are just a blowout of chauvinism." Natalie said comfortingly, "It's normal, whenever a particularly outstanding woman appears, always It will arouse the jealousy of some men, especially when they think that the areas they are proud of are inviolable, as long as they ignore them."
A blowout of macho chauvinism? Ha, I have a day like this myself, it's... funny! Angela smiled bitterly in her heart, but Natalie's comfort made her a lot happier. Her parents, Aunt Jennifer, Annie, Kate, Jessie and other friends, classmates, and colleagues are also more or less in the past few days. She, so it doesn't matter if she is uncomfortable. Besides, she has achieved her goal. At least she has a good grasp of the use of the camera, and the outline and construction of the scene are quite satisfactory, but the level of storytelling still needs to be honed.
"Don't worry, Nat, this is just an experiment, I just use it to analyze my strengths and weaknesses, it's not a failure." Angela patted the back of Natalie's hand, "When my next work comes out, They will naturally shut up."
Natalie smiled slightly and hesitated before saying: "Angie, don't you think... a little too aggressive? Although I hate the tone of those people, I also think it's better for you to accumulate some experience."
Angela raised the corners of her mouth, ignoring someone passing by, cupped Natalie's face and kissed her on the forehead lightly: "Thank you, Nat, I'm measured, let's go out first, let the snow Mrs Li has been waiting too long."
After holding her hand and walking a few steps, Angela suddenly stopped again, and turned her head to look at Natalie with a begging expression: "Can you stay at my house tonight, Nat, please, don't refuse me !"
Natalie rolled her eyes angrily, then stepped forward and grabbed Angela's arm: "Okay!"
After a pleasant and short day with Natalie on Sunday night, Angela returned to Los Angeles. The weekend box office of "Snatch and Kidnap" has already been set at only 19 million, and it is impossible to exceed this number. , At least half of it is earned from the popularity of girls, and many people also make a fuss about this big fuss.
Angela didn't take it to heart. After reading the newspaper for a few days after the movie was released, she didn't plan to watch it again. She also kept silent about the reporter's pursuit and questions, and put on a nonsense that you can write whatever you want. Violent uncooperative attitude.
Anyway, the film cost less than 10 million before and after, and 20 million at the box office is enough to break even, and no matter how bad the movie is, it will take at least 1 month to be released, even if it is lacking in storytelling. , but she has put a lot of effort into the details. Those who are interested in this content will definitely like it. Maybe she can make a small profit after downloading.
Therefore, the girl put her energy into the preparation of two new scripts, especially the selection of directors, both of which require some effort.
