Unfortunately, Anne's words came true. "Miss genius party drunk, fights and kicks people without ladylike demeanor", this was the topic on the entertainment page of the newspaper the next day. These wonderfully crafted guys literally portrayed a girl who drank too much at a party to life.
Fortunately, Annie's prediction is not completely correct. This kind of report is not a headline, and because there is no direct evidence, it is all learned from the students' mouths, so the larger the media, the more cautious the content of the report, only those who make up the content. Only the tabloids will trumpet to gain eyeballs.
"Obviously, it's okay." Angela, who read these reports, was a little relieved. Although Annie and the others didn't understand why they said that, Angela didn't explain much - they couldn't tell them if they would be 10 years later, There will be a video online in at most tens of minutes after it happened, and the whole world will know in a few hours.
However, there were benefits of that time too, at least the tabloids couldn't overstate it! Look at what this "World News Weekly", which claims to be the only credible newspaper in the world, wrote: Miss genius is full of alcohol, not only swearing, but also fighting other men like a shrew!
Of course, Angela's biggest headache right now is not this, but the conversation with Alizee - no matter what she says, the little girl always answers indifferently: "I won't say it."
"You know, I didn't expect this to happen. As soon as I drink whiskey, I will... become a different person, so I definitely didn't mean to... " Angela looked at the little girl who was holding the book and took a deep breath. Or said it: "I definitely didn't intend to sexually harass you."
"Understood, I won't say it." Alizee said without raising her head.
Angela couldn't help but feel a little bored, why is she always reading books and books? She spends more time reading books than herself, and she always maintains that look of indifference to everything. Sometimes she really wants to take the book away from her hand and throw it away, then squeeze her face for a while, to see if she can still Can't be so indifferent.
"Please, Lily, I'm talking to you very sincerely, can you stop talking to me in a perfunctory tone? I've already apologized." Angela didn't rush up in the end, but continued to speak in a negotiating tone.
"I know," Alizee finally put down the book in her hand and looked directly into Angela's eyes, "I didn't perfunctory, didn't you say so much to ask me to help you keep this secret?"
The peculiar smell of French women makes 14-year-old Alizee look very pure, and her indifferent look for a long time makes her have a cold beauty, and the dark brown eyes hide her emotions very well.
"Um... Of course, yes, but..." Angela raised her head and gestured, "Okay, that's it."
She said, stood up and left Alizee's bedroom. She rolled her eyes and sighed as soon as she closed the door: "Since Lily said she would keep this secret and not tell it, it must be possible, isn't it?"
Angela came to the living room talking, and Kate was already standing by the window looking outside waiting for her.
"You're leaving so soon? Leave me alone and go back to New York?" Angela hugged her from behind.
"Honey, there are reporters outside, and the maid is in the yard," Kate reminded without looking back.
Angela was about to draw the curtains just to cover herself and most of Kate: "It's all right now."
"How clever, why didn't I think of that." Kate snorted softly, obviously still brooding about what happened the night before and yesterday afternoon. But she still answered the previous question: "I still have an ad in New York, and I was invited to the Chanel fashion show, so I can't be here with you all the time."
"Chanel invited you to the show?" Angela asked with interest, "How much is the invitation fee? In which row?"
"$60,000, 1st row, 8th position from left to right." Kate shrugged: "Or are you going to accompany me to the Chanel show on the weekend? Know that they really want you to go, as long as you offer the conditions. within the acceptable range."
"Come on, you know, I've never liked going to a fashion week or something - unless it's a private, faceless sneak." Angela put her head on her shoulder and pouted.
"Of course I know, which female star can compare with you," Kate turned around and gave her a helpless look, "No female star will refuse the exclusive interview and cover invitation of "Time", you must know."
"If they didn't insist on being on the cover, I might agree to their exclusive interview. If that's the case, then let's not talk about it." Angela said disdainfully, "I have rejected a lot of interviews, and I don't care about their family. ."
As the most influential "Times" in the United States, it is natural to issue an exclusive interview invitation. After all, Angela's achievements are unprecedented among young people, and the record-breaking Oscar-nominated best director is definitely eligible to be on the cover.
However, Angela did not think it was suitable to be on the cover of Time Magazine according to her own plan, so she declined the invitation directly. However, the other party was equally happy and did not retain it any more, and there were more people rushing to be on the cover, and there was no shortage of talented young ladies.
Neither side cared about it, and this matter naturally ended without a problem.
"I'm really leaving," Kate closed the curtains, turned around and hugged Angela's waist, and then touched her lips, "Anyway, you have a self-defense weapon now, so you don't need me by your side. ."
Although she knew that the other party was joking, Kate's serious look still made Angela's teeth itch a little: "Okay, let's have a drink before we leave, how about whisky?"
"Why, you haven't abused me enough?" Kate raised her eyebrows, and immediately scratched her hands on her waist.
After the girl screamed, she kept dodging amid giggling, and at the same time looking for a loophole to fight back. And ended.
Although Angela ignored the reports of her drunkenness, she still underestimated people's gossip mentality, so when she showed up at school the next day, she was immediately surrounded by surprised, amazed or gloating eyes .
"I can't believe that I actually became a clown in the circus!" Angela complained to Benita in the dormitory.
"Don't worry, it'll be all right soon." Benita reassured her absent-mindedly, although Hannah didn't blame her for a small problem at the party, but the other members of the sorority The mocking eyes made her very depressed, especially after learning the reason for Angela's problem on the phone.
And Angela, who was also depressed, also adopted her opinion to keep changing, so in the next few days, these eyes became more and more, and there were more versions circulating in the school than the tabloids outside. In addition, there is a kung fu called "Singing the Spring" of the Miss Genius Club from Chinese students. It is said that Bruce Lee also referred to it when he created Jeet Kune Do.
As a result, the number of men who had already approached Angela had dropped sharply, and Jack Gyllenhill would now hide away as long as he saw her—this was probably the only gain after the drunken incident. .
As various versions of the rumor circulated in the city of Cambridge, the media soon joined in again, and although there was no direct evidence, it was okay to use it as a tidbit to feed the conversation. Moreover, as before, the large media are relatively strict and the various tabloids are full of tricks. Under the cross, many people believe it to be true. This can be seen from the sharp increase in the number of comments below the blog.
"Okay, I originally thought it wasn't a big deal, but I didn't expect to be fired like this, so I'll just say a few words to clarify.
First of all, I don't want to say anything like reserving the right to sue certain media, because it's meaningless. They always report how they want, anyway, they will bear it sooner or later.
I don't want to say too much, but in short, I found a very serious problem: I can't drink whisky, and if you touch it, even a little will get drunk! Yes, it's an exaggeration but it's true, I've tried it many times, and I don't have any adverse effects with other wines, but whiskey is an exception.
The worst thing is that I can't remember what happened when I wake up, so I don't know what happened at the time. Of course, I admit that I did hit a few people, but it was definitely not serious. The friends who helped me with the experiment said it was just a little bit more excited than usual and liked boxing or something, yes I can do that... ok I admit it's dangerous when I'm drunk but it's definitely not like the papers say As you all know, exaggerating things is the paparazzi's favorite thing to do.
Anyway, I've removed whiskey from the list of alcohol I can drink in case something goes wrong, and hopefully it won't happen again in the future. "
This is Angela's latest blog, which is a summary of this drunken incident. As for what kind of reaction it will cause, she is too lazy to care. Anyway, the media's attention will soon be attracted to other places, because Angela boarded the Sky ship and went to Europe two days after uploading this blog, but it was not Poland but Paris, France!
The Champs-Élysées, the most famous and beautiful avenue in Paris, starts from Place de la Concorde in the east and ends at Place Charles de Gaulle in the west.
The apartment of the famous director Roman Polanski is located between the Champs-Elysees and the Seine. The decoration style is similar to that of the British painter David Hockney. It is small and comfortable. Since he fled the United States in 1977 because of molesting girls Been living here for over twenty years now.
As the script was almost finished with the occasional page-turning sound, Polanski, who was immersed in the reading, finally regained his senses and glanced at the girl sitting opposite while turning the last few pages.
She drank black tea calmly with her legs crossed and a teacup, her blond hair falling from her drooping eyelids. Although she was sitting on the sofa, she couldn't hide her beautiful figure, but her delicate face was very calm. It leaves no emotion at all and gives the feeling that everything is under control.
Very beautiful and very difficult to grasp. Polanski, who has seen many beautiful women and declared that sex is his best inspiration, made such an attribution in his heart. He was very strange and surprised. You must know that most of the young women like this girl are partying at various parties. There are many talented actresses in the film industry, but talented female directors are very rare. At this age, they are in charge of filming. I am afraid it is the first in the world to produce such an excellent film as "American Beauty"!
Because of the complicated emotions about Hollywood and his own sadness, Polanski was not interested in the so-called genius girl at first until "American Beauty" was released in France.
What was going on in her head? How does she think? How could she have understood so thoroughly? Polanski folded his hands on his lap and closed his eyes. If "American Beauty" only surprised him, then when he saw the script of "The Pianist" written by her, he could only be at a loss.
After this novel was published last year, he immediately contacted the publisher about the issue of the adaptation rights. The various descriptions in the novel reminded him of the days when he was young in a concentration camp, so he felt that he had brought this history to the screen. The time has come.
It is a pity that he was disappointed that the arrangement and production rights of "The Pianist" had already been sold out, so he could only return in frustration. Today, however, Angela Mason, who has the name of Miss Genius, suddenly came to the door and wanted to invite herself to be the special advisor of the movie "The Pianist", which will be filmed by her, because he is the only one who has experience in the massacre. A film director with a camera.
Polanski felt insulted at first, and let the other party into the room just out of politeness, but when he read the script, he couldn't help but immerse himself in it. The script seemed to be tailor-made for him, bringing him back to those dark days as if he had first read the novel, especially when he saw that someone had pulled Spearman from the crowd on the train. When he came out and told him to leave quickly and told him not to run away, if there was no guest in front of him and it was a lady, he might have called out in excitement.
Polanski looked up for the first time and looked seriously at this girl with the name of genius. She had played his cousin in "Schindler's List" a few years ago, but now she has picked up the guide tube and started. Direct the history with your own hands!
The other party stared at him without blinking, and there seemed to be something unfathomable deep in those emerald green eyes. She is so beautiful, Polanski said again in his heart, does she know how to direct this movie
"Based on facts, tell it from an objective angle that is similar to cold, and strive to achieve..." The girl opposite said in a pleasant voice, "Relatively fair!"
Only then did Polanski realize that he had unknowingly said the latter sentence.
"So, have you decided to agree to my invitation?" Angela spoke again.
After a few seconds of silence, Polanski shook his head: "I'm sorry, but my answer is: no."
The girl in front of him frowned but did not speak, while Polanski leaned back against the recessed sofa and closed his eyes as if he had put something down: "You are the director, you are the screenwriter, you are the producer, this is the Your movie is not mine."
If possible, he really wanted to ask him to direct, but unfortunately the other party's previous summary made him understand that she has enough comprehensive thinking, she is a strong woman, so she doesn't have to join in the fun. And... in front of this girl, he suddenly had the feeling that he could put something down.
After a long while, the other side finally spoke again: "So sorry to bother you, thank you and your wife for your hospitality."
With a muffled sound, the car door was closed, and Angela nodded to the front: "You don't need to go back to the hotel, just go to the airport and call them to tell them that I'm going to Warsaw soon."
Her face was calm and there was no other emotion. The reason why she came to Paris to invite Polanski as a special advisor was to make The Pianist infinitely close to the original version, so that she could be more confident.
It's really shameless, but - since you're a bitch, don't think about building a torii! If you have done it, do it thoroughly, as long as you know why you are doing it.
Angela did have a headache when Polanski refused at first, thinking about how to convince the other party - to be honest, she didn't like this guy who always made some noir movies, but the other party's words made her suddenly There is a feeling of drinking in the head. This is your movie!
Yes, you put your own stamp on it from the beginning, no matter how close you are to the original, whether you realize it or not, you always have something that belongs to you in it, because you are making a movie for yourself!
Angela pursed her lips tightly, why do you always think "If you keep copying and you don't have your own, then what else can you copy when you're about to shoot that movie"
Why did you already have this concern when you told Natalie you were going to be a director in Zurich a few years ago
Why do you always tell yourself to start from a learning perspective when you pick a movie for a project
She was suddenly a little fortunate, if it wasn't for "The Pianist", if it wasn't for the pressure, if it wasn't for dragging Polanski into the water, maybe she would continue to dwell on the surface and ignore the most fundamental things.
Every director makes a movie for himself first and foremost!
Is this my movie? No, not all, but I'm making movies for myself, so... I'll have my own movies. Angela said to herself in her heart.
Then, after the ease of letting go of her mind, something that had been neglected, suppressed and thrown into the most hidden corner for a long time suddenly appeared secretly and began to bite her heart.
So, who is it for you that you spend so much energy, so much time, and even risking everything planned out for? Who are you
