To be honest, Angela actually only wanted to say the first half of the sentence at first, but fortunately, she went through the information of Irene in her head before speaking, so she only had the latter half of the sentence.
In fact, Erin Brockovich is indeed worthy of the title of a legend. Anyone who reads her previous materials will find it hard to believe that this person who dropped out of school before graduating from high school has been married twice and three times. A woman who has no professional training and got a secretarial job in a law firm with no professional training, can persuade her boss, persuade the residents of the polluted town, and finally successfully sue her with her perseverance. Downed Pacific Gas and Electric Company, thereby winning the largest ever damages in a direct lawsuit of its kind - $333 million! The story is so inspiring, it's no wonder the studios brought it to the screen.
However, these also illustrate a problem, Irene is not a vain and snobbish woman. According to the information, she has also taken over many environmental protection cases since then, and she has also contributed a lot to public welfare undertakings. Would a vain and snobby person commit to doing such a thankless thing? Well, now Angela came and told her that she wanted to make her story into a movie, and the reason was that the story was gossip enough and people liked to watch it... Irene would frown even if she didn't drive Angela out, so Make bad comments about girls in your mind.
Although Angela lacked interest in her father's career, she also listened to his comments and analysis of others when she was a child. For a vain and snob, the slightly flattering words in the first half of the sentence will definitely impress him; but for a person like Irene, you have to stand in her position and show her respect for her actions and her career. and recognition. Therefore, the girl added a sentence in time.
This sentence is from the heart and not a polite word. After reading Irene's detailed information, she couldn't help but admire the other party's tenacity. Recalling the plot of the movie she has watched, it is obvious that the Chinese title of "Never Compromise" is better than "Never Compromise". The English title directly using Erin's name can better reflect the connotation of the movie, so while saying that half sentence, Angela also made up her mind to use "Never Compromise" as the title instead of "Erin Brockovich"!
It turns out that the girl was right, and Erin quickly accepted her rhetoric and opened the conversation.
"Do I look nice and well-mannered now? It's taken me a long time to get to this point, and even then when I get excited I'm still full of swear words, which Ed has been talking about since he hired me."
"I didn't think too much about it at that time, I just thought it was very unfair, why can the power company use hexavalent chromium without any scruples to harm the health of others, and at the same time want to keep everyone in the dark?"
"When she hugged me and cried because she won, there was a feeling I've never felt that ran through my body, it's hard to describe, but I know I did it right and should continue to do it!"
Erin is very talkative, and it is because of her talkativeness that she can persuade hundreds of residents to sign the indictment together. Angela has always been a good listener. Apart from occasionally interjecting to ask a question or two, she mostly listens to her narration attentively, and then quickly writes and draws in her own notebook, putting those valuable Record things. Sparrow became a spectator completely, but he was not in a hurry and sat beside him slowly drinking coffee, it was not the first time anyway. until-
"Irene! I've been waiting for you for more than ten minutes, you better have a better excuse!" The door of the office was suddenly pushed open, and a thin middle-aged man with a slightly convex belly and wide glasses followed. He came in, but he obviously didn't expect there were other people in the office, so he was stunned after speaking.
"Ha, can't you knock on the door before you come in. Ed?" Irene said immediately and rudely.
"I... you..." Ed, who was confused about the situation, didn't speak for a long time, and finally waved his hand vigorously: "Damn, I should have questioned you! I agreed to visit Tremond this afternoon. Several residents in the area should leave at 3 o'clock, but what time is it?!"
"Has it passed the time?" Irene raised her head and looked at the time, "It is indeed passed, well, I apologize."
"It looks like we've been delayed for a long time." Angela stood up immediately, "I'm glad to hear your story, Erin."
"Hopefully these will help you."
"Actually, it helps a lot."
The two shook hands happily, and Ed recognized Angela at this time: "God, I thought who wanted to ask this arrogant woman for help, it's nice to meet you, Miss Mason. I'm Ai De, Ed Marsley, the boss of this arrogant, rude woman in front of you."
"Yeah, it's really unfortunate for you to have an employee like me." Erin retorted, waved her hand, and then said, "I think I told you that I have a date before going out this afternoon, Ed."
"You mean, it's Miss Mason who is going to turn our lawsuit into a movie?" Ed was suddenly refreshed and looked at Angela: "I think she must have told you that after the power company's lawsuit is over, I was on the cover of a magazine…”
"Okay, you hypocritical guy, hurry downstairs and drive, I'll get down immediately." Irene scolded Ed and pushed Ed out, then turned around: "I can only go here for the time being today, Angie. "
"It's okay, I just took the time to sort it out," Angela nodded with a smile, "but I've been busy with other things recently, so I'll call you before the next visit."
"Of course there is no problem." Irene agreed immediately.
On the way back, Angela looked at the recorded things and Irene's information, looking for relevant images in her memory. The harvest is very good, she thinks so. Regarding the adaptation of the script, I only tried it in "Forrest Gump" in 1993, and that time I just talked about a few ideas and jokes to reconcile the conflicts between the other two screenwriters, those Except for the Little Rock incident that she added in the joke, the others were just repeating things from her memory. At that time, her goals were not clear, and the plan in her heart didn't even have a prototype, so she didn't learn much.
Then adapting Irene's story into a script is not a good opportunity for her. Although the impression in her head is already very vague, she can recall some parts when stimulated by these things, so that she can better Make these things your own, just like learning how to direct, and at the same time you can win a very likely best actress trophy for your aunt, so why not do it
"They are really interesting partners, but it is precisely because of this that such a case can be completed." Angela sighed, as if speaking to Sparrow beside him and as if to himself, "I have already If you can outline in your head how your aunt will play her, and if you find a good director, the chances of the golden statue are even higher... It seems to be Steven Soderbergh?"
"Have you already chosen a director in your heart?" Sparrow shook his head secretly and asked.
"Ah? Oh, not yet," Ann waved her hand naturally, without showing any signs of being taken aback, "I'm still thinking, because I had considered inviting Soderbergh to direct Memento, so He was the first to think of."
Followed her to change the subject: "By the way, I think I have to read some legal books and watch movies or TV related to court debates before I start writing."
"I have to remind you, Angie," Sparrow sighed, "do you have time to do anything else right now?"
Angela was stunned, and finally confessed honestly, dejected: "No!"
Christmas in New York is always surrounded by white snow, unlike Los Angeles, where rain is a luxury. Although it is more livable than the sunny climate in Los Angeles before, no one can deny that the Christmas tree covered with snow is the most attractive. human.
"Okay, let's all let go." Angela took a deep breath and waved her hand to let her friends release. Then she kicked the whole person and rushed out immediately, drawing an arc on the skating rink in Central Park, and then beautifully turned in a circle.
"My skills are obviously much better than before." The girl exclaimed triumphantly, skating back a few steps and turning in a circle, in the bright lights of the circular skating rink, her figure could barely be regarded as a perfect figure. Miaoman.
"We've all seen it," Natalie exclaimed angrily and hilariously, "don't slide too fast, there are many people here, it's best to get acquainted with it first."
"I don't think she can hear her." Scarlet, who was beside her with her arms around her arms, looked like a little adult, and shook her head seriously, "Think about how she complained before and refused to try new things without saying anything."
"Yes, I know, how could I not know." Natalie rubbed her nose lightly, looking helplessly at Angela who had already changed positions and slipped around, "I hope she can watch Son, don't wrestle in public."
Before she could finish her words, there was a startled voice from the skater on the other side of the circular ice rink. Angela fell to the ground without warning and turned into a rolling gourd, and stopped until she hit the guardrail.
The two girls who were startled hurriedly slipped past the crowd and lifted Angela, who was dizzy, her face seemed to touch the railing, and her eyes were so red that there were faint tears in her eyes.
"Are you all right, Angie." Natalie took off her skates for her and helped her sit down on the bench outside the arena, then checked her body nervously.
"Pain!" Angela finally cried out when she touched the spot where her face was red from hitting the railing, and tears rolled down, but she was no longer dizzy.
"God, I was startled!" Angela said, then glanced at the people in the skating rink who were looking here from time to time, and touched her wig nervously: "I didn't reveal anything? I didn't. Dew slump?"
She asked twice in a row, so angry that Natalie squeezed her cheek: "Now you still care about this? It was the face, not the head, that hit the railing just now!"
"I'm just worried," Angela said with caution and grievance after confirming that there was nothing wrong with her dress, "It's not that you don't know, the grand occasion when I attended the reception with Jonathan yesterday, God knows if there are any reporters nearby. of."
"First, who asked you to pretend to be a couple with Jonathan? Second, who asked you to agree to attend a cocktail party with him? Third, who asked you to shoot such an unusual movie?" Natalie He bluntly said, "So you deserve it."
"Hey, how can you say that about me!" Angela said very unhappily, but she turned her eyes and then bent again: "Okay, I was pretending to be a couple with Jonathan to find a cover, and we have already said Well, we will break up next year, but due to the inexplicable scandal before, we still have to maintain a relatively intimate image in front of the public for the time being."
Saying that, she shook Natalie's hand, and her smile became narrower: "Don't worry, I promise here that I will never fall in love with him, so there is no need to be jealous."
"Who... Who is jealous!" Natalie's blushing flashed and she tried to pretend to be expressionless, "I'm not jealous, I just... I just remind you that the problem is with you."
"Okay, okay, it's all on me." Angela's laughing expression made Natalie a little annoyed, and she immediately wanted to pull her hand back, so that she couldn't break free.
Scarlett's panting voice suddenly sounded: "Angie... I found an ice pack."
"Great, thank you, Manny." Angela quickly dropped Natalie's hand, turned the laughter into a smile, and took the ice pack handed by the girl, "You are so thoughtful."
"How is your face? Does it hurt?" Scarlett frowned slightly at the red and swollen part of her face, looked at Natalie and then at Angela: "You... what happened? ?"
Although the expressions of the two of them became very fast, there were still some traces of inertia, but Angela immediately changed the topic: "Manny, can you help me apply it?"
"Of course." Scarlett's attention immediately shifted to the ice pack. After she happily unpacked and rubbed it, she climbed onto the chair and carefully applied it to Angela's face.
Angela immediately sucked in a breath of cold air with clenched teeth. Scarlett couldn't help sticking out her tongue, and quickly changed to the other hand, but she still didn't handle the weight very well. Although Angela didn't take in any more cold air, she The wry smile couldn't be shaken off.
"I'll do it, Manny." Natalie shook it, took the ice pack into her hands and lowered her body to gently apply it to Angela. Although Scarlett was reluctant, she knew that she was not doing very well, so she had to sit next to her as a spectator.
Natalie's movements were so soft, as if she was caring for something precious, and Angela, who closed her eyes, smiled and seemed to enjoy it very much, making Scarlett who was looking in her eyes couldn't help but feel a hint of envy.
After this little episode, today's play is over, plus the time has passed 9 o'clock, the three girls got into the car driven by the bodyguards and left Central Park, arm in arm, and sent Scarlett to Scarlett. After returning home, we turned to Long Island.
"Finally, I don't need to wear these things anymore. Fortunately, I don't need to do this every day." Angela said, taking off her wig and contact lenses, and then fanning her hands in front of her with a slightly exaggerated hand.
"If you feel hot, you can stick your head out of the window, and you will be able to cool down soon." Natalie stabbed her slightly, Angela smiled and grabbed Natalie's hand: "Tonight is here. How about staying at my house?"
"Today? Are you kidding me, it's Christmas break!" Natalie rolled her eyes at her.
"My dear, it's Christmas Eve tomorrow, and I bet Mr. Avner and Mrs. Shirley wouldn't mind me occupying their daughter for one night." Angela said with a smile, and then took Natalie's hand into her arms. middle.
After moving slightly but failing to draw her hand, Natalie pouted and said helplessly, "Obviously, I have no choice."
"Hi, Mr. Thomas, thank you for opening the door for us." Angela took Natalie into the house.
"It's my honor to serve you, miss." The housekeeper, as calm as always, raised his index finger after him: "However, please prepare yourself before entering."
"Prepare in your heart?" Angela blinked and immediately understood, she couldn't help rolling her eyes, "God!"
"What's wrong?" Natalie was a little strange.
"I think you should be able to guess." The girl pointed helplessly from behind the entrance, and there was someone's voice vaguely heard.
"You have to understand, my dear father, now is not your time. It's right to be cautious, but if you focus on bold and pioneering spirit, you will only become more conservative in the end!" Jay sitting in the chair Red raised his hands to end his speech, but the words "my dear father" sounded a little more ironic.
"If caution is to be equated with conservatism, can I equate boldness with recklessness and reckless recklessness?" The opposite grandfather, Kleister, squinted his eyes and put his hands on the crutches, not losing his momentum at all. "Do you know what your problem is? Always exaggerate one thing as much as possible, but never pay attention to other details!"
"I didn't pay attention? Do you think so? Or you want to put your own problems..." Jared retorted immediately.
And the others in the living room, Angela's uncles and aunts, all gathered together in twos and threes to chat with each other, completely treating the two battling people as air. Anyway, this is not the first time nor will it be the last time. Over the years, the quarrel between the father and son has calmed down a lot.
"It seems that you... have a good conversation?" Angela, who appeared in the living room, looked at her father and grandfather and shook their heads helplessly, and then greeted the uncles and aunts in turn.
"Hi dear, did you have a good time?" Jared stopped talking immediately and looked at his daughter happily.
"Of course." Angela grinned, waved to Grandpa again, and then pulled Natalie, who was greeting her elders, "Since you guys are chatting so lively, then don't bother, Nat and I go to the bedroom go in."
After speaking, he went upstairs, and Jared watched his daughter disappear down the stairs before turning around to look at his father: "Where have we been?"
