"Listen, guys! We have to redouble our efforts now! I don't allow any mistakes until it's done! Understand! Don't allow any mistakes!" In Angela's angry roar, the members of the temporary studio all Some scalps can't help but tingle, they don't understand why Miss Genius has become so pungent after the Thanksgiving holiday!
No way, it's hard for the employees to describe her current state, can't say that Miss Genius is gnashing her teeth like a man without image, right? And even if he gnashed his teeth like a man, it should be a very beautiful man gnashing his teeth.
"I hope that when I go back to Los Angeles for the premiere of "Never Compromise", I can take "American Beauty" to make the final composite recording!" Angela was still chattering, and Alizee, who was sitting in the corner, glanced at Glancing at her, she shook her head imperceptibly and continued to help sort out the documents.
Angela's appearance is of course related to the test screening of "Never Compromise". Although the logo at the beginning and the letters at the end have not been cleaned up, the film is really good, and the whole story is humorous and witty. And it's also very easy, and Julia's performance of Irene, who is strong, pungent, but always full of swear words, is very good, so that the inspirational taste of "Never Compromise" is brought into full play.
"In fact, I almost fell in love with the strong and somewhat headstrong Erin - of course, the Erin in the movie, and not including the swear words." Frank, who accompanied his wife to the test screening, said at dinner that day Said, as for whether you really look at Julia's reaction, you will know.
All in all, just Julia and Albert Finney's performances are enough to give the film a 60, and then Soderbergh's shot can get another 30, even if he's just starting to transform, still The film is very well controlled, especially let a few preaching scenes be completed in a relaxed and entertaining atmosphere. The court scenes at the beginning are also very good. The only good thing is that the emotional scenes are a little weak, but the flaws are not hidden. Still an excellent movie.
Of course Angela would be delighted by that alone, but she always wondered how Soderbergh managed to make it in nearly six months.
"It's very simple," Soderbergh, who returned to her gentlemanly appearance, answered her question readily. "You don't need to consider special effects in post-production, which saves a lot of time."
Of course Angela is not satisfied with this answer. There are not many special effects in "American Beauty". Even if there is some obstruction in the soundtrack, there will not be such a gap, right
"Remember our feud? Your opinion inspired me a lot, so I think my pretence on the first video call was worth it," Soderbergh continued with a gentlemanly smile. down.
Angela rolled her eyes immediately, dare you to tease me just to observe the reaction of "Miss Genius"? Well, even so, what do you mean by saying that I inspired you a lot? I don't think you, who are so individual, like to listen to other people's opinions, so there must be a reason, and I need to know the reason!
Of course Soderbergh understood what she was thinking, so he spoke quickly: "Speaking of which, I would like to thank you for not having such a detailed collection of information—even a lot of it with your comments on it. I certainly wouldn't do it. So fast and so good, and based on what you've thought and compared to your script and your storyboards, there are indeed a lot of novel ideas and a lot of them haven't been used in "Never Compromise", so you're really smart, very clever."
He made it so fast with the help of the information he had collected. This fact should make Angela very happy. In fact, she was quite complacent at the time, but she didn't show it, but after calming down, she suddenly became depressed. Angela has accumulated a lot of experience in filmmaking. She is very clear that if she were to shoot a brand new film herself, even if there were detailed information for reference, even if someone discussed with herself, she wanted to achieve such a speed. It's still an impossible character, although she knows that Soderbergh can do it because of his brilliant mind, think about this guy who can win the Palme d'Or at the age of 26, but Angela cares more about herself. In this regard, children who still need support to walk.
Yes, if it weren't for the accumulation of past lives, could she have created so many miracles? Maybe she still has room to play in music, but Angela is still a child who needs support in filmmaking. When will she grow up
Angela, who was troubled by this kind of thoughts, seemed really depressed, but she had to hide it from being seen, so the employees of the temporary studio became victims in such an awkward mood. But fortunately, this situation did not last long. Angela still has her own plans and goals after all. Only by adjusting her mentality can she achieve it better.
"You can't make a fat man in one bite, and my mouth is not big, so I can eat it one bite at a time." Angela said to herself. After returning to Boston after Thanksgiving, she began to spend all her spare time. All of them are put on work, and they are often busy until 10 o'clock in the evening, so they often live outside, but they don't come back to the dormitory.
"It looks like you're really busy, or just live outside, so as not to run around sometimes." Benita suggested when she rarely returned to the dormitory to rest.
"Why, don't you like living in the same room with me anymore?" Angela, who collapsed on the sofa, asked jokingly.
"You really make me sad when you say that." Benita couldn't help rolling her eyes.
"Then why don't you rent an apartment outside?" Angela sat up and asked with a smile, "You are already in the fourth grade."
"Why outside? Isn't it bad here?" Benita shrugged, "There are apartments here as well, but the apartments are not as close as the dormitory to the library, museum, restaurant, classroom, etc. You can get a few extra minutes of sleep and it's a lot cheaper, so why should I live outside?"
"It's a good reason," Angela nodded, "then it's also the reason why I chose to live in the dormitory."
"Don't be kidding, Angie," Benita rolled her eyes more exaggeratedly than before, "I don't believe you're renting a house in Boston for your babysitter, so let's be honest, there are a lot of people out there. They're all guessing."
"It's very simple, if you don't live in a dormitory for college, then college life is undoubtedly incomplete!" Angela said seriously, of course, there is another reason, but it can't be said.
Benita blinked: "That's it?"
"That's it," Angela shrugged and thought about it before saying, "Of course, I promised my parents to live independently, so as I said before, the villa is prepared for my work."
"But your work always ends... well, forget it," Benita dropped the topic, after all what Angela did was her business, "So, Angie, are you free this weekend?"
"Of course—no." Angela declined her invitation with a smile. "Sorry, my work isn't done, and I'm going to Los Angeles for a movie premiere this weekend."
She really doesn't care about the parties held by the Sisterhood every three days. Well, it can't be said that they hold parties every three days, but at least two or three times a month. is a regular thing. Although Angela has attended many parties, she doesn't like the atmosphere of the sorority very much. It exists only for venting, just like some cocktail parties exist only for socializing, so she participated in the sorority twice before and after Benita. After the party, she began to decline in various ways, and work was the best excuse, especially during this time.
Finally, when the first weekend of December came, Angela basically completed the later stage of "American Beauty", and then hurriedly boarded the plane to rush to Los Angeles. In the evening, it was the premiere of "Never Compromise".
The time is really tight, because Angela was a little late on Friday night - although she knew she could go back to Los Angeles to do it - so she didn't get up until 9 o'clock, and it was already 10 o'clock when she got on the plane. Three hours at night in Boston, after coming home to say hi to mom, have lunch, and get rid of the little guys, she immediately sent the master tape to the film department, but had to pay some attention because there was no work on the weekend. The main points were written on the paper and posted on the memo column. After going back and forth, it was already 5 o'clock when I went home again, so I quickly changed my clothes and went to the Chinese Theater.
It's not bad, you don't have to be too particular about your clothes. If I look like this every day, I will definitely go crazy. Angela, who sat in the car, sighed in her stomach. The black dress with thin shoulders and the brown belt with gold trim are enough to show off. Her charm is gone.
The premiere is still the same. The reporters take pictures outside, ask questions, chat inside, and communicate. No matter what movie is, it is this procedure.
"So unless it's a very special premiere, such as something that impresses me, I take this as a task to complete." Angela said to Kate, who was standing beside her, gazing at the well-dressed people around her.
"Don't say that, my dear, you only attended the premieres of 3 movies this year, oh, there's one more to come, that's 4, and they're all yours, so how can you count as a mission? If another movie invites you to a premiere, that's a job, and you have the right to say no," Kate whispered, wearing a shiny leather dress with sleeves and stockings and little leather boots, too. It's also black and looks very sexy.
"Yes, yes, I know, this is my responsibility, I know." Angela pouted, her playful appearance made Kate want to laugh, and then she leaned into her ear and said softly: "Today Come to my house tonight."
Angela glanced at Kate with a charming look, and then it turned into regret: "Sorry, Kate, I'm going back to Boston tomorrow afternoon, so I can't go to your place tonight."
After a pause, she smiled again: "Don't worry, it's Christmas and New Years soon, and Radcliffe College won't start until February, so I'll have a lot of time."
There is no need to say much about the excellence of "Never Compromise" and Julia's excellence. The applause after the film is enough to explain everything. Julia, Albert and Soderbergh have all become the main entertainers at the subsequent press conference. Object, this made Angela, who was hiding in the corner, greatly relieved, but unfortunately the reporters still found her at the end.
"I heard that you became interested in the news about Ms. Erin Blokovic on the report, and after learning her story from other sources, you decided to adapt it into a movie, is that so? "
"The answer is correct, maybe I should give you ten points, Mr. Reporter." Angela raised her eyebrows. This kind of question should have known the answer when the movie was promoted, right
However, the reporter had no other reaction, and continued to ask: "How did you think about it when you were writing the script?"
God, how can there be such a problem? Angela thought depressedly, and after thinking for a few seconds, she said, "I don't know what you think, but in my eyes, Ms. Erin is a typical American, she is very persistent, strong, and very strong. Smart, and does some things much better than most men - like using your strengths!"
There was a chuckle at the scene, and everyone knew what Angela was talking about. There is a scene in the movie where Ed asks Irene: Why do you think you can walk into the water conservancy county and check the information as you like? Erin answered bluntly: Because I have big boobs. These words are enough to see how Erin's character is.
"It is precisely because of her persistence, strength and intelligence that she finally won 300 million compensation for more than 600 families!" Angela returned to the topic after humor, "Irene is not that kind of traditional hero. Twice married and three children - no doubt, it's a fact, the information I gathered and what I knew about Ms. Erin was far from what this little script could show. But it was a woman who did a lot What everyone thinks is impossible! So I think her story deserves a movie because I think her story is the best interpretation of perseverance. I'm glad Julia and Albert are in both A major character, and I'm glad that Steven directed this film, I can't find a better word for what I want to say than excellent."
Speaking of which, the host, who had already received a hint, immediately announced the end of the reception, followed Angela and slipped out amid the noisy questions from the reporters, and then quickly got into the car and drove away.
"It's over at last, I don't know what the film review will be tomorrow?" Angela leaned on the car seat and muttered to herself, "Ha, let's make a bet first, I'll definitely say that I'm touting my aunt's relationship. Category."
In fact, she was only partially right, because most of the film reviews the next day were applause.
"This is the age of hero scarcity, which is why Erin Blokovic's story is so compelling and has a wonderful taste of rebellion, no one would have thought that this high school dropout, confusedly married twice , a woman with three children can finally do such a deed. The story does not need to be repeated, I just want to say that Julia's performance is really wonderful, and I was more than once in the middle of watching this strong, smart and cute. Infected by the female role, this should be Julia's best role in recent years.
Albert is equally remarkable, and the simple and honest old man is a little shrewd and philistine. It is worth mentioning that the director is Steven Soderbergh, who is good at black comedy. This should be his first directing after the transformation. Even in such a literary film, his performance is still quite good. Of course, this is also the first time that Miss Angela has tried to adapt the script based on real events, and the level is still excellent. She seems to have an inexhaustible source of inspiration in her head. "—The Hollywood Reporter
"This is without a doubt one of the best inspirational films of the year, and Erin shows us how important self-improvement, persistence and respect are in life!" - Los Angeles Times
"The reason why our country is so strong is because of the spirit embodied in Erin, the spirit of never compromising and never giving up for justice!" - "USA Today"
"A great film, a great director, a great actor, even if there are problems of one kind and another, but they can't stop the inspirational effect of the film, Erin tells us what is most important." - "The New York Times"
It's not surprising that Erin's story is indeed very inspiring. Think about it, a single mother who was caught in such a predicament and was beaten again and again, with her enthusiasm, persistence and strength, brought down a large company with a market value of tens of billions, no matter who it is. I will cheer for her when I see it, after all, people's feelings tend to be weak.
In addition, Erin's story is also very consistent with the value orientation of mainstream society, humanity, human rights, justice, fairness and justice and the American dream - as long as you work hard, you will succeed, so it is inevitable that it will be sought after by the audience and critics.
Of course, the voices of criticism are not absent, but most of them are limited to criticizing the editing or the shooting methods that are not too brilliant. Although the movie is smooth but not innovative, and it inherits the consistent style of Hollywood, etc., some grandstanding people naturally also would think that Angela was touting Julia, of course they wouldn't criticize what the movie was trying to say, so just brushing aside that Julia was good but only good, she could have done better or something of.
Angela didn't care about it. In fact, she was trying to tout Julia's idea. After all, this movie was for the best actress Oscar for her aunt.
Obviously, "Never Compromise" should achieve the effect I want, so I will watch my "American Beauty" next, Angela, who is sitting on the Sky, ready to take off back to Boston, thinks so, although there is a preview on Monday But for the movies that she personally supervised and edited, she felt that there was no need to watch it with her. Anyway, she still had to attend the premiere, didn't she
But at this moment, Angela's body suddenly trembled, and her brows suddenly wrinkled. She found that she had been ignoring a problem, a big problem!
