Although Angela vowed to accompany her family well before returning to school, it is a pity that the plan will never change quickly. There was news that "The Grudge" was about to start, and she had to take another time to go to Tokyo.
Although Angela has been in contact with the Japanese side by email and phone, because the script was delivered before Christmas last year, most of the things, including the negotiation, were handled by the film department, and she only occasionally Knowing how the progress is, I originally thought that it would start to start at least at the end of February, but I didn't expect it to be so fast. Although both parents expressed understanding, Angela was still very depressed about this. Fortunately, she spent several days with her family before receiving the news, so she still took Sarah and a few who had already been selected in the midst of the noise of the little guy. The American actor boarded a plane to Tokyo.
"I hate flying for a long time, it feels too bad." Angela, who woke up from the daze, rubbed her face and muttered in a low voice, watching the sunlight coming in from the other windows.
"Because of the jet lag?" Kate, who had already woken up and was reading a magazine, smiled and turned her head.
"Almost." Angela shrugged, glanced at Kate, then took her hand and said with a smile: "But it's not so bad with you by my side, it seems that it would be wise to drive Sparrow into business class. choose."
"You're so happy to drive your agent behind?" Kate said teasingly.
"I can't say that, I'm just generally happy when he's sitting next to me, and I'm much happier when you're sitting next to me, aren't you two different," Angela grimaced, "Okay, I'll check it out later. Look at them."
After asking the stewardess for a warm wet towel to wipe her face to relieve her fatigue, Angela untied the safety belt and walked to the back. Although it didn't matter to reserve a first-class seat for Sparrow, she didn't want to have it. Personally, I listened to the private conversation between myself and Kate, so it's better for the agent to feel wronged, and business class is not bad.
Affected by her, Sparrow was also taking a nap while wearing a black eye patch, while the two bodyguards were taking turns resting, but several of the actors and their assistants were chatting in a low voice.
"It looks like you guys are talking quite speculatively." Angela leaned on the back of the seat and looked at the man and woman in front of her with a smile, and raised her hands after they turned their eyes: "If it bothers you, I am sorry."
"Of course not, in fact Sarah happened to be chatting with me about you." The gentle man sitting by the window with a face that all America would love smiled, he was the first to destroy the earth in Emmerich's 1996 film In the "Independence Day" of President Bill Pullman, who drove a fighter plane to face the aliens, Angela only appointed Sarah to play the heroine, and the other roles were handed over to Bruce. It happened that Bruce met Pullman again and invited him to play the role. a small role.
"Talking about me?" Angela looked at Mann and then at Sarah. "Let me guess, she'll probably say..."
"Don't make useless guesses, Angie." Sarah raised her head and flashed a trace of dissatisfaction in her eyes, but there seemed to be something hidden in this dissatisfaction, and Angela, who knew all about it, glanced at Pullman, and leaned down. In Sarah's ear, she teased in the lowest voice: "Don't do this, I just want to help Mina take care of her baby."
As if stung by a scorpion, Sarah slammed back and glared at Angela, but Angela was still smiling and seemed to ignore her anger at all until the cockpit captain came over and said, "You can go back. At your place, Miss Mason, we'll be in Tokyo in half an hour."
"Of course, I'll go back right away." Angela nodded with a smile, blinked at Sarah again and turned away.
But Sarah chased after a few seconds, grabbed Angela and asked the flight attendant for a compartment, then glared at her with her arms folded and frowned: "Maybe you're just joking, but I don't think it's funny. ."
Sarah's face was full of annoyance: "You know what, Angie, you're...you're...you're bothering me...it bothers me! We're just...drunk unconscious behavior, not what you think...like!"
"Ah... oh... um..." Angela stared at Sarah for a long while, until the other party was a little restless before nodding seriously: "Okay, I know, if I offended you before, I apologize. ."
Sarah was obviously relieved and pointed to the aisle: "Then... I'll go back."
"Of course, we're almost there." Angela spread her hands and watched Sarah leave before returning to the first-class cabin with a smacking mouth.
"Did something interesting happen?" Kate, who was watching the movie, noticed that Angela, who had returned to her seat, was full of surprise and snickering, and couldn't help taking off her headphones and asked curiously.
"It's really interesting, but I can't be sure about anything yet, so I won't tell you for the time being." Angela shrugged with a smile. To be honest, whether it was the teasing at the premiere or the previous tricks, most of them were joking, but When she was talking to Sarah alone just now, she saw some clues.
Why is Sarah so angry? And under this anger, there is also anxiety. Angela touched her chin, and after grinding her teeth on her lips, she decided to leave it alone for the time being, if it's like her guess... Hehe...
At 6 o'clock in the afternoon, under the faint afterglow of the sun sinking into the horizon, the plane finally landed slowly at Chengtian Airport in Chiba Prefecture, southeast of Tokyo. They were greeted by Sam Raines, who was in charge of the film department. In addition to the others, there was Tsukasa Miura, the general manager of Kadokawa Films, but at the same time, there was also a large group of guys in black suits who knew they were bodyguards at first glance.
Angela was still puzzled at first, but she immediately understood when she came to the departure hall. Although it wasn't crowded here, at first glance, the dark crowd of young men and women blocked the exit, and when she appeared, she immediately Screams and shouts rang out, accompanied by the cracking flashes of reporters.
Although they seemed very excited, it was a pity that they were half-baked in English, and there were also a few Japanese pronunciations in the middle, or simply Japanese, which was so confusing that Angela could not understand or understand at all. Of course, in this case, she would You don’t need to guess what you are shouting, and they drowned out the voices of reporters with good English, so although Angela rolled her eyes in her heart, and kept complaining that she forgot to say hello to the Japanese side, she still kept it on the surface. He smiled and waved to the screaming young people, then ignored the reporter's questions and walked out under the escort of bodyguards.
When she got out of the airport and saw the car that was picking her up, Angela was struck by lightning again. It was actually an extended Rolls-Royce! With such a big fanfare, are you really afraid that others won't know that she came to Japan? Under the pursuit of reporters and fans, I came all the way to the Garden Hyatt Hotel in Shinjuku, and finally breathed a sigh of relief after entering the presidential suite.
"Mr. Miura, I think you have misunderstood something." Angela asked straight after Miura knocked on the door and came in. The other party's smile froze on his face after hearing the translation.
"I don't know what Miss Mason is dissatisfied with, we must correct it immediately." Miura Gang bowed 90 degrees in fear, and Angela couldn't help but be stunned. Although she had heard a lot about the nature of the Japanese, but Faced with such a situation, it is not easy to take any pretense, and after thinking about it, he said: "I want to remind Mr. Miura that I came to Tokyo neither for promotion nor for concerts, but for the movie "The Grudge". I only have a few days and don't want to be bothered by anything else!"
Miura is also a person with a flexible mind. After listening to the translation, he immediately understood, so he nodded and replied: "I will notify the person in charge of the public relations department to refuse all forms of interviews, advertisements, etc. intentions."
"Then that's it." Angela nodded and didn't say anything more. Anyway, her trip to Tokyo will be reported in the newspaper tomorrow. It's pointless to dwell on it. Unfortunately, she originally planned to have a good time in Tokyo.
After Miura left, Angela immediately looked at her agent again, and Sparrow immediately raised his right hand: "I will cooperate with them."
"That's the best way." Angela nodded, but quickly frowned again: "Since Kadokawa Yinghua clearly wants to use me to build momentum for them, can it really be obedient with just one word from me?"
"It's not surprising," Sparrow explained to her, "Kadokawa Pictures is a film company under the Kadokawa Group. It has always been in the helm of the Kadokawa Group's eldest son, Kadokawa Haruki. In business, he has a crazy temperament of artistic supremacy. He has worked as a producer, actor and even director. It is said that he has made many excellent movies. It was only in 1993 that he was arrested and imprisoned because of a drug scandal, which forced Kadokawa Yingka to withdraw from the film industry. , but he began to plan a comeback immediately after he was released from prison in 1997. Last year's "Midnight Bell" made them re-start their brand, and then naturally they want to further stabilize, and cooperation with us is likely to allow them to enter the US market, So I will never disobey you."
Angela noticed that Sparrow's tone was a little sarcastic at the beginning of the "excellent movie". She was a little puzzled at first but quickly understood, but she didn't say much and just concluded: " Simply put, they want me, right?"
"So to speak." Sparrow nodded, then got up and said goodbye when he had nothing else to do.
Angela sighed softly after thinking for a few seconds with her arms folded, and Kate, who had been sitting beside her without speaking, suddenly said, "Don't you think the experience of Haruki Kadokawa is very similar to you? looks like?"
Angela was stunned for a while. After she reacted, she felt a chill, followed by ups and downs in her heart. Then she glared at Kate fiercely: "You mean I might end up in jail for a drug scandal in the future?!"
"Well..." Kate rolled her eyes and got up immediately, "I didn't say anything."
Angela immediately rushed over: "Don't try to change the subject! If you dare to say this, you will pay the price!"
