Angela and Peter finally accepted this plan. Although this is a compromise plan, it is relatively fair, but Angela has to reconsider and practice the method of singing, so this scene has to be shelved for the time being.
It doesn't matter, if this shot can't be taken, then the next shot is fine. The advantage of being in the wild is that you can shoot a completely different shot from the previous one by changing the set and location. Of course, Peter will not allow a situation where only one shot is taken in a place.
But it is a pity that until Angela is leaving New Zealand, the filming of this scene still cannot start. According to her words, there is no time. Basically, when she has spare time, she is surrounded by satellite phones. It is already December, but the editing of "The Pianist" still has a little tail that has not been completed, which directly leads to the fact that the soundtrack, subtitles, and other bits and pieces cannot be combined. When they got together, that's why she asked to leave just after the first ten days.
To be honest, Peter didn't want to let him go. He hoped that Angela would not leave until at least the 15th, but Angela clearly told him no, and even half-jokingly threatened to quit the crew to force the other party to agree. Of course, as compensation, Angela promised to return to the team after the Christmas-New Year holiday as much as possible. This gave the dark-faced Peter a little comfort.
"I didn't expect you to come and see me, Liv." In the VIP lounge of Wellington International Airport, Angela looked at the woman who was still puffed up, "I thought I had to wait for the next time. You will only talk to me when we meet."
"I don't want to, either," Liv said childishly with her arms crossed. "It's just that I have to come to see my friend."
"Okay, Liv," Angela sighed, "Don't be like this, you don't have to ask me to be your girlfriend."
"Of course, of course, you're a big star, a big director, and a millionaire. I'm not worthy of you." Liv bit her lip.
Angela couldn't help frowning: "Hey, it's a bit too much to say that, I thought we were still friends at least."
Liv glared at her without speaking, and after a while, she sighed: "Okay, I apologize, I'm a little upset."
But then she pouted again: "As compensation, I want to know the name!"
Angela feels a little ironic, I don't seem to have said to accept your apology, right? However, Liv obviously saw that she was actually hard-hearted and soft-hearted, so she asked so aggressively, so the girl smiled narrowly: "What's your name?"
"Don't pretend you don't understand," Liv hummed, "I want to know who stole you when I was hesitating!"
"Is it important?" Angela asked angrily and hilariously, "What's the point even if you know?"
Liv's pretty face was still full of childish unwillingness, Angela just sighed and said sternly: "I won't tell you, Liv. It's not that I want to hide it on purpose... I love them, the more people I know, the better The more unsafe it is, if you want to bear the pressure, let me bear it.”
Maybe it was because of excitement or because it was difficult to let Angela go. She should be thankful that Liv was in front of her, otherwise it would not have been so easy to pass. Angela, who woke up on the plane, was terrified, so she was more careful.
"I can hear it," Liv seemed a little dejected, "the... emotion, strong emotion in your tone."
"Okay, Liv, anyway, we're still friends, right?" Angela said and hugged Liv, then gently touched her lips: "Let's keep it like this. Go down."
With the takeoff of the Sky, Angela finally left New Zealand, and she thought she was handling Liv's sudden feelings well. It's just that she ignored the noncommittal attitude of the other party when she left, and she didn't reflect on her feelings or dig further, she could only say that she was only responding with intuition.
The plane flew directly back to Los Angeles, and Angela did not go back to the film department despite the jet lag. As early as she arrived in New Zealand, the Boston studio moved back to California. After all, Los Angeles and Wellington are separated by 4 longitude lines. time zone, while Boston is separated by 7 time zones. For example, Wellington at 18:00 on December 1st, 2:00am on December 1st in Boston and 22:00 on November 30th in Los Angeles. Which time is more suitable for work needless to say. Even so, when Angela arrived at the film department, the scene she saw was still "corpses everywhere".
"To be honest, Angie, if it wasn't for the high salary and many collaborations, I would have quit the job long ago," an editor complained after everyone was woken up.
"I know, I'm really sorry, but there's really no way. Well, tomorrow is the weekend, everyone should stay at home and have a good rest for two days, get paid, and work harder from the day after tomorrow." Angela said sincerely, Seeing how sleepy she was when she came over as soon as she got off the plane, everyone agreed with her arrangement.
However, the girl immediately showed a hideous face: "Then now, everyone should act immediately! You must complete my request before leaving get off work! Otherwise, you are not allowed to leave!"
Although the complaints came one after another, the people in the studio were still running quickly. This time, there was no sign of stopping until the beginning of the lantern, and it was only after Elena called and ordered Angela to go home immediately.
"Darling, I don't think you need me to remind you, right?" The mother who sat down at the dining table said gently, with concern and helplessness at the same time.
"I know, Mom, but Dad doesn't eat dinner at home every day." Angela, who regulated the dining posture for her younger siblings, replied with a smile, her naughty appearance was exactly the same as when she was a child.
"But I won't continue to work when I'm very tired, dear." Jared, who was sitting at the top, raised his eyebrows.
"I've taken paid leave from the studio, Dad, don't worry, okay?" Angela spread her hands.
"That means my sister can play with us tomorrow?" Willie immediately exclaimed excitedly, looking at her sister without blinking, Ike also raised his hands in agreement. "Sister hasn't been home for half a year again."
Angela looked embarrassed, and after a few seconds of hesitation, she still showed a smile: "Okay, let's go out to play tomorrow, you can go wherever you want, I will be your nanny."
"Okay, okay, let's go to Lulu's class, she's making a movie." Willie said enthusiastically.
"Hey, it's up to you," Angela shrugged and looked at her parents, "if my parents don't object."
After chatting a few words with the parents after dinner, and playing with the two little guys for a while, Angela returned to her room. The layout was basically unchanged, and it was very clean. Her luggage had been sorted by the servants, but it still gave Angela a sense of incongruity.
"Because Annie is still in Boston?" Angela suddenly thought of this after she opened the notebook and found that the position was not correctly placed, and she patted her forehead a little depressedly: "Damn it, don't you get used to it without Annie at home? Or am I already Forgot all about how to do housework?"
Rolling her eyes, she stood up again and walked around the room a few times. She glanced at the phone and seemed to want to make a call. After a while, she sat in front of the piano and opened the lid and started playing. She didn't know what note she was hitting, she just moved her fingers by feeling, and in this way, the depression in her heart finally disappeared a lot.
As soon as the piano stopped knocking on the door, the thumping sound started, Angela swept the long hair beside her ear, stretched herself, walked to the door and opened it, then showed a surprised look: " Mother?"
"Who do you think it will be?" asked the mother, who entered the bedroom, jokingly.
"Who else is there except my lovely brother and sister." Angela deliberately gnashed her teeth when she said the words "brother" and "sister".
"Why, where did the little guys provoke you?" The mother looked curious.
"Just as I was going upstairs, two little devils were arguing about which one should sleep in my room tonight," Angela said, snorting as she moved the chair to her mother, and snorted with the back of it facing her with her hands on it, " They never consulted me on this issue, never!"
"Angie." Mother suggested, pointing to the chair at the same time.
"Oh, no, Mom, it's not in front of outsiders, why can't you sit like this in private?" Angela said reluctantly, pouting her head on her arm.
"Okay, my daughter is old and rebellious. I know how to refute it." The mother said jokingly.
"Mom!" Angela protested.
"It's strange, my daughter can reject her mother, but she almost never said no to her younger siblings." The mother said something leisurely at this time, and Angela, who was about to shout something, suddenly got stuck.
"You promised very reluctantly at dinner, don't think I didn't see it, dear." The mother smiled and soothed her daughter's face, "You have your own date, right?"
"Hey, yes," Angela rubbed her nose, "but I haven't decided yet, you know, I just got back."
"So who? Kate? Jessie? Or your rumored boyfriend?" The mother blinked.
"I thought I had clarified the truth, Mom!" Angela said angrily.
"So my daughter doesn't have a boyfriend now?" the mother said with interest.
"Yes, I have a lot of things to do right now, I don't have time to fall in love, and... The men in the university are too frivolous, and the ones in the entertainment industry are too slick, so it's hard for me to like them." Angela said plausibly, "So let's wait a few more years. There will always be someone who has feelings, or that sentence, don't worry, okay?"
"Of course, of course, I'm just asking, after all, you've never brought your boyfriend home except Jonathan, and sometimes I even wonder if you'll bring one..." Mother's words changed, "Girlfriend comes back ."
"It seems that I brought my girlfriend back a lot, right?" Angela raised her eyebrows and smiled slyly.
Elena pursed her lips: "That's it, you just came back from New Zealand, rest early."
"Yes, mother, you should rest early too." Angela stood up and hugged her mother lightly, sent her out of the room, closed the door and locked it, then leaned against the wall and let out a long sigh, secretly thankful that she passed the test. But I couldn't help but be afraid, why did my mother suddenly come to the bedroom and tell her this
After leaving Angela's bedroom, Elena went straight to her husband's study. Jared was writing something on the desk with the lamp on, and he raised his head when he heard the door open: "How is it?"
"I don't know, Chris is still joking with me because of this." Elena said worriedly while sitting on the single sofa.
"You know what I'm trying to say, honey, you're thinking too much." Jared put down the pen and stood up to his wife, "I know you care about her, and Chris is mature in some ways. She's still a child in some ways, but she's an adult after all, and we shouldn't dictate too much about her life."
"So you won't tell her for now, will you, about Jonathan." Elena asked, looking at her husband.
"Yes, after all, I know it by accident, and the Vogels may not know it," Jared shrugged. "Chrissy will know one day, but not now."
"What if, I mean if, Chris already knew about it long before she dated him?" Elena frowned slightly.
"Mary, you're really thinking too much, and even that doesn't mean much." Jaydende comforted his wife, "I don't think you're going to ask Sparrow to come over and ask her questions, or investigate her friends. right?"
"No no no, Jedi, I'm just a little… You know, it's a woman's intuition," Elena took a deep breath and looked her husband in the eyes: "Jedie, if… Chris really… what would you do? Do?"
Jared fell silent, crossing his hands together, wondering what he was thinking.
Lulu, this little devil, has gradually entered the entertainment industry since filming the public service advertisement directed by Angela. In the past few years, he has filmed a lot of various advertisements and has made cameo appearances in many TV series. Moreover, she also has a queen aunt, a duke adoptive father, and a gifted sister, and she is also cute and cute, so her journey to stardom can be described as smooth, and now she is playing an important role in Warner's "Little Rat".
Don't ask Angela why the movie is only starting now, don't ask her why it was made by Warners, and don't ask her why the boy in the movie turned into a girl. If anyone could figure out the traces of butterfly wings, humans would have landed in Centaurus long ago.
Back to the topic, even though Emma Roberts' cuteness and cuteness is a recognized fact, it is only an image in front of others. Angela will never want to enjoy this kind of treatment, even a dead kid on the set can still be fine The little one "bullies" her freely. Of course, the little guy does it very secretly.
Therefore, Angela can only endure her harassment while echoing the praise of the director and starring: "Yes, she is very talented and has always been excellent. As long as she keeps learning, she will be another dazzling child star."
Fortunately, the time spent on the set was not long, which was a small consolation in the depression.
After that, Angela played with the little guys for two days, and the confidentiality work was not bad. The reporters did not realize that she had returned to Los Angeles. In addition, in the game of hide and seek with the paparazzi, Angela's disguise level has always been maintained. At a certain level, a few people had a good time.
Of course, the secrecy only lasted for two days. After all, she went to visit Lulu's class, and the staff who saw her entering and leaving the studio didn't immediately notify the media that it was already a good idea.
Naturally, the reporters gathered outside the villa, although with Angela's departure, the debate on "The Pianist" slowly began to cool down. But after the announcement of "The Pianist" landed on major TV stations and newspapers after December 5th, the public's attention once again focused on Miss Genius' over-the-top work, so how could the reporters who smelled it miss this opportunity? .
In addition to announcing on her blog that she has returned from the crew, Angela still does her own way and ignores the reporters. Every day, she is doing two-point and one-line sports between her home and the film department. It's better to hurry up and finish the movie than to nag them and let them distort their statements. She has already decided to speak with facts, isn't it
It's just that the girl apologized to Kate and Jessica on the phone a lot. She originally planned to take time to see them anyway after she was with her younger siblings, but it was a pity because most of the time was occupied by the later part of the movie, plus And these nasty guys were always snooping around, so she had to scrap those plans.
Fortunately, both Kate and Jessica understood this, which made Angela feel a touch of sweetness under the pressure.
The final finishing work of "The Pianist" is not complicated. After spending a few days editing the final part and then re-producing some of the previous unsatisfactory clips, the editing part is finally completed. Then all the "parts" are done and all that's left is the assembly work.
However, this assembly work should not be careless, otherwise Williams would not have specially flown in from Boston to discuss the use of the soundtrack in depth with Angela. In a word, everyone is in a row. This is the current portrayal of the studio. After all, it will be Christmas-New Year's holiday soon. Everyone knows that if they can't complete the task, Miss Genius will definitely coerce and lure them to the utmost to keep them honest. of staying in the studio celebrates the holidays with work.
Finally, after seven hellish days, "The Pianist" is 98% complete, the remaining 1% is the opening and ending issues, and the other 1% is the preview!
"The preview will be arranged immediately, and some special audiences can be invited." Angela, who was relieved, said to McKinley.
