Although there are such and such problems, "The Matrix" is still progressing at a slow pace. The people from the Pixar animation department are really good, and they have done a very good job of several CG scenes that have come out, especially the endless " The wheat field” and the picking machines fully reveal that black gothic style.
Angela couldn't help but want to smile bitterly when she was pleasantly surprised. When she was looking for them to make CGs, she overlooked a point. The people in the animation department obviously didn't know what it meant to save money. It jumped up and down, so after watching a few good episodes, the first thing Angela did was to be amazed, and the second thing was to call Ed and ask to control the cost.
If you do this later, it will cost hundreds of millions of dollars including the cost of publicity. Angela knows that she will definitely earn it back after the release, but please, try to save as much as possible.
The simultaneous production of "Death Comes" is slightly faster, although there is the same problem - all the shots were done by director James Huang, and the parts I remember are only for reference. However, James Huang is not Ridley Scott after all. Although Angela will also discuss with him, most of the time he will give priority to his own opinions. Besides, "Death Is Coming" hardly needs much CG.More The only thing is the special effects of the movie, and she doesn't need to worry about the soundtrack. It is naturally much faster than "The Matrix", but the overall progress is not very fast because of the need to run from both ends.
According to preliminary estimates, at the current speed, "Death is Coming" should be completed in mid-April, and it can be launched directly without considering other factors. Although "The Matrix" can be completed by the end of May, it is as planned. conclusions, and plans can never keep up with changes. Angela has some headaches in her mind, she still has three AP exams to take in May to get at least a B-, so she must work harder in her homework, and more importantly, if it is agreed, the AP exam After that, it should be... and my plan has to be officially launched. It seems that there is no way to squeeze time.
Forget it, as long as it's released during the summer vacation, don't be so stupid to supervise the production of several movies in the future. Angela said to herself with a sigh in her heart, she was somewhat at a loss, if it was just curiosity and fun or making money before, now as part of the whole plan, she had to try her best to maintain her image, maintain and gain more. Capital, is it worth it or not? It's a really hard question to draw conclusions about. But compared to the troubles that haven't come yet, there are some things that make her have to be more careful.
"I can't say that, Jesse, of course I admit that your performance was better than the original, but it doesn't affect the whole movie," Angela gestured to Jessica who was sitting next to her, "You know Yes, it wasn't filmed in the order of the story progression, so your performance after editing, while not terrific, was definitely better than before."
Having said this, she laughed: "You know? In the edited footage, I like the incredible look of surprise and fear on your face when you face the plane explosion at the airport. It's extroverted and reserved, just right. ."
"If you say that, I can't wait to see the final result." Jessica shrugged.
"There will be opportunities soon, and some of the scenes still need your dubbing, so I can show you the edited version, and prepare to be surprised." Angela said with a smile, and looked outside after the car stopped. Opened the car door: "Hey dear, get in the car, I hope you didn't wait too long."
"I'm so happy to see you, Angie." Lindsay, who was holding her sister into the car, greeted excitedly. After sitting in the back, she couldn't wait to come over to give her a kiss, and Angela just turned her head. Come to have something to say, so the other party's small mouth was placed on Angela's lips impartially.
Angela was immediately stunned, and after a few seconds, she leaned back: "I didn't know you still had this hobby."
However, Lindsay completely ignored what she said. She slapped her mouth with a smile and said seriously, "This feels really good, how about doing it again?"
As she said that, she posted it again, but then Angela pressed her hand on her face and pushed her to the seat: "Don't even think about it!"
"It's so sad, I just want a kiss," Lindsay said, leaning on the backrest, "Looks like you don't love me anymore, are you going to abandon me?"
Angela rolled her eyes, then glared at Jessica, who was covering her mouth and snickering. Didn't you see your girlfriend being molested? But that only made Jessica laugh harder.
"Are you going to complain like this for the rest of your life?" Angela snorted, then turned to the bodyguard sitting in front: "Buckett drives, let's go, don't glance, Ryan!"
Lindsay also ended her performance at this time and hugged Angela from behind, rubbed her cheek affectionately, and then hugged her 4-year-old sister into her arms: "Ellie is also happy to meet you. "
The fleshy Ellie waved her small arms and smiled and said in a child's sweet and crisp voice: "Hello, Angie."
"Hey, little one," Angela rubbed the little guy's head lovingly, she has always liked children, "it's great, I can finally call others little ones too."
"Don't you ever call someone that?" Jessica asked curiously, "Like Lulu? Or Isa and Crow?"
"Whether it's Lulu or my younger brother and sister, when they were born, I was called "Little" by Aunt Jennifer, how could I be called someone like that." Angela spread her hands helplessly, and suddenly remembered again What Hu turned around and opened his eyes wide to look at the two sisters behind him: "You actually took your sister to the party, Lindsay?!"
"What? Is there anything wrong?" Lindsay was a little puzzled.
"Of course not. This is Kate's party, and it's all adults. How can you bring a 4-year-old kid?"
"I'm only 11 years old. Since I can go, why can't my sister go." Lindsay frowned, she could see that she was a little dissatisfied, and her hand around her sister involuntarily tightened a lot.
"That's..." Angela gestured and wanted to smile bitterly in her heart. The reason why she called Lindsay was mainly because she had been a little unhappy during this time, and it was certain that this was her family's reappearance. What happened.
Having been with Angela for so long, Lindsay has become more and more dependent on her. Whenever she encounters something unpleasant - especially the kind related to her family, the little girl will always run to her house - Angie La promised the little girl very early that she could come to her as long as she wanted to, as she did a few years ago, so even if Lindsay still feels sad and bored with her parents now, at least the girl's heart is still intact.
Therefore, Angela was very curious about what made her suddenly become like this. Although Lindsay never talked about it several times, Angela wanted to take this opportunity to bring her out to have fun, but she didn't expect her to bring her sister too. up.
Taking the time to let the bodyguard slow down the car, Angela sorted out her own words: "Okay, Lindsay, there are many people at the party, so what if something happens with Ellie? You just Almost 12 years old can take care of herself, but who will take care of Ellie? Are you so reassured that she is in such an environment?"
Lindsay bit her mouth and was silent for a while, then shook her head resolutely: "If Ellie can't go, then I won't go either. I will never leave her at home alone, never!"
Although the little girl's tone was very calm, the two of them never spoke decisively, which made Angela's head swell for a while. At this time, Jessica pulled her arm: "I think I can help take care of Ellie."
"You?" Angela opened her eyes wide and looked at her in surprise.
"Do you think I can't even take care of a child?" Jessica said jokingly, then turned to Lindsay: "Besides, Lindsay will never leave her sister alone, will she?"
"Of course," Lindsay said, hugging Ellie tightly in her arms, and then looking down at her sister: "You'll always follow me and Jesse and won't run around, right Ellie?"
Although he didn't fully understand what the sisters were talking about, the little guy nodded vigorously: "Yes!"
"Then... well," Angela helplessly spread her hands up, "I'll try my best to take care of her."
Hearing this, Lindsay couldn't help cheering, followed by holding Angela's face with lightning speed and kissing her lips firmly: "I love you, Angie! You are so kind! It's gone!"
Touching her lips and crying, Angela shook her head, and then tapped her on the head gently: "You should thank Jessie, I don't know how much time it will take up for her."
"Of course, of course." Lindsay nodded sharply, hugged Jessica again, and kissed her firmly on the lips.
"You bastard!" Jessica exclaimed, and the car burst into laughter.
The car soon came to Blenkert Street, where Angela used to live. Although the sky hadn't completely darkened, and a fiery cloud was still standing on the horizon, the entire villa was already brightly lit.
"You're finally here. I've been thinking about why you haven't come yet. Now it seems that every time you don't fall to the last few, you won't show up." Although Kate said this, she gave Angela a big hug , and at the same time kissed her cheek and pressed the corner of her mouth. Although there were not many people around, Jessica and Lindsay around her could see clearly.
"So there are still people who haven't arrived yet? It seems that I should have been later." Angela said with a smile.
"It's fine if you just want to be the finale guest," Kate said angrily, then said hello to Jessica, Lindsay, and little Ellie and left the room temporarily, while the three girls plus a little girl It goes around to the garden at the back.
"I'm jealous, Angie." Jessica couldn't help whispering in her ear as she walked down the road.
"Why didn't you feel jealous when Lindsay kissed me?" Angela curled her lips, pretending to be dissatisfied.
"That's different..." Jessica thought for a while, then shook her head, "I'm just jealous anyway."
Angela rolled her eyes: "Okay, okay, I'm jealous too, because Lindsay kissed you—by the way, I forgot my handbag in the car, you go first and I'll be right back."
As she said that, she looked around and saw that there was no one but Lindsay and Little Ellie, so she quickly touched Jessica's lips, then dropped the girl who was stunned in shock and ran away.
It was only after she ran to the front door that Angela slowed down. Although there was no expression on her face, she sighed heavily in her heart. Just when Jessica said she would take care of Ellie, Angela suddenly sighed. I was relieved, because Jessica's time and energy would be taken up by more than half. In fact, if Kate invited Jessica through her, Angela would definitely help to decline, but Kate called Jessica directly.
Angela took a deep breath and looked at the sky. There was not a single star in the sky where the ink color began to render. They were all hidden in the lights of the city. At this time, Pu Guanshui's voice sounded: "Miss, what's the matter? Need some help?"
"Oh, nothing, I forgot my handbag in the car." Angela turned her head and smiled at the bodyguard who was guarding the car. After adjusting her mood, Pu Guanshui opened the car door and got the handbag, just as she was about to go back At that time, he suddenly thought of something, and looked at Pu Guanshui again: "Have you never brought her to a party? Any party?"
Pu Guanshui was stunned for a moment and then reacted. He shook his head with a wry smile: "What kind of party can I take her to? Besides, how could I take her to a party? After all, she and I are not the same kind of people, and she is still a child."
Angela heard something but didn't say much, nodded silently before saying: "I can infer from the letter that Lily should be very withdrawn in school."
"Yes, I know, but... I can't change anything." Pu Guanshui looked very rogue.
"You... have you thought about adopting her?" Angela asked suddenly.
"Adoption? Miss, please, I'm only Chinese, and... how can I adopt a white girl." Pu Guanshui's slightly self-deprecating smile woke Angela up, and he shook his head with a wry smile in his heart. A loyal bodyguard said sorry and left in a hurry.
There were a lot of people at the party, this time it wasn't an all-female party, so there were men, women, actors, directors, producers, directors of film companies, etc. With the release of "Fake Tenjin", even though Kate's performance was criticized For the vase, but it can't stop her from becoming a first-line actress. Naturally, there are a lot of people attending the party, and the party is also a good place to talk about things and deals. Maybe the producer and the director or actor have a few exchanges, and a big production will be ready.
"I heard that you have been busy with production recently, so you have held this party, so you can relax and work harder tonight, right?" said Kate, who was walking side by side with Angela.
"Thank you, Kate." Angela patted her arm and said sincerely. She looked at the lively crowd. Although this was not a dance party, the overall atmosphere was still very warm, but at the same time, it was relatively harmonious. It felt very comfortable to look at, and Kate must have put a lot of thought into taking into account the tastes of all those invited.
"I wonder if the paparazzi who are guarding outside will find a way to sneak in from somewhere, and then hide in the corner and press the shutter desperately." The girl said sarcastically.
"Don't worry, it's fine even if someone comes in, I know what to do." Kate said with a smile.
Angela was stunned for a while and then realized that she had misunderstood her meaning, shook her head with a smile, took Kate's arm and shook it affectionately, then released: "I'm not talking about us, dear."
She sighed faintly: "I'll be 17 years old in about a month. I used to hear people say 17 years old is an interesting age. I don't understand why there is such a saying, until now I suddenly realized that 16 Both the age of 18 and the age of 18 have special meanings, and the age of 17 is the most presumptuous and safest period in life. Because at the age of 16, you can do many things that you could not do before; and at the age of 18, you are an adult. You can watch the NC-17 movie, and you can let the paparazzi use the camera to target everyone and everywhere.”
Speaking of which, she spread her hands, showing a sad and playful look, which made Kate cover her mouth and laugh.
"Of course, what's more important is that adults should take their own responsibilities." Angela added at the end.
"Sounds... do you want to propose to me?" Kate suddenly said after laughing.
"Well, it sounds good," Angela frowned deliberately with her hands on her cheeks to show a thoughtful expression, and then asked very seriously, "What do you think?"
Kate opened her mouth, although there was still a smile on her face, but there were more things she couldn't say, and the two of them became silent for a while, until they were broken by a familiar voice: "Ha, I said very familiar, it turns out that You are here."
"Hi Nicole, I'm so glad you're at Kate's party too." Angela turned to greet Nicole Kidman with a smile, then glanced at the women walking with her.
I couldn't tell the other party's age for a while, with long curly blond hair, soft lines on the face, and taupe eyes, no matter what appearance or figure was lost to Nicole, Angela wondered why such a woman and Nicole But walking together instead of her husband Tom Cruise, are those gossips from last year true? Is something ahead of schedule
"How could the invitation from the British Rose of Hollywood not come." Nicole said with a smile, and then pulled her friend to introduce: "Angie, Kate, this is Naomi Watts, my best friend. ;Nami, this is Angela Mason, this is Kate Beckinsale, Hollywood's Miss Genius and the English Rose!"
