There will always be excuses as long as you are willing to look for them, and sometimes they may even be delivered to your door. For example, in the afternoon, after browsing the news of a certain website and receiving an e-mail, Angela finally found an excuse that she had been thinking about for a long time, and then quickly began to make calls. As for the meaning of what Annie said at the time... I'm sorry, I don't have time now.
After waiting for a while in nervousness, a voice finally came from there. The original anxiety was immediately thrown out of the sky by Angela, and the voice was the same as before: "Oh, Kate, I'm so sorry, I only called you now."
"Angie?" Kate's voice was a little weird, "It's okay, I'm busy these days. You know, I've already reported to the crew, I've been rushing outside for filming these days, and Ridley's request is very demanding. Strictly, so…”
"Yes, I know, I will try it in a few days," Angela maintained her tone, "By the way, Kate, do you remember the script I told you before? The film department has already approved the project, are you ready?"
"The script you're talking about... Road Girl Killer?" Kate asked after thinking about it.
"Correct answer, it looks like I should give you ten points." Angela said jokingly, and then coughed softly: "Don't tell me you quit, you know I've been preparing for a long time."
"But it doesn't sound like you're going to direct," Kate said suddenly.
Angela couldn't help raising her eyebrows, she seemed to catch something: "I never said I would direct this play, did I?"
After a long silence over there, Kate's disappointed and somewhat anxious words came: "Is that so?"
"Kate, listen to me, the plan to make Brokeback Mountain is already there. If it weren't for the theme being a little too weird compared to my age and gender, it would have been announced long ago instead of letting reporters come up with this kind of stuff. Passive situation," Angela's head turned quickly, "I originally planned to make the fact that filming started first, like the previous year's "The Pianist", and then ignore whatever the public opinion said... Kate, are you listening?"
"Well... yes, of course, I'm listening. I'm just thinking... I mean it's the right thing to think about, but..." She was visibly absent-minded.
"Don't worry, I'll pick an excellent director to shoot, trust my vision. Besides, I don't want to experience that feeling of yelling at you because of a certain shot." Angela said with a smile Then he added, "Of course, I will also be named in the producer column, and I will ask about the situation at any time."
Speaking of this, she felt a little moved in her heart and continued: "Well, Kate, I will send the script to the mailbox first, you can read it first. When I report to the "Matrix" crew in a few days, we will meet face to face. How about a good talk?"
"Oh... well, of course, no problem." There was a clear sigh on the phone.
The hand holding the microphone tightened, and Angela spoke again: "By the way, Kate, although I don't want you to worry, I have to tell you... I have admitted to my parents that we are dating."
"What?" Kate exclaimed. "You... you... you mean..."
"Yes, everything between us has been told to them," Angela felt a little guilty at this point, but she quickly restrained her emotions, "Don't worry, they didn't say anything extreme, it's mother Slightly unacceptable. Anyway, I'll tell you in detail when I come to the crew in a few days. Trust me, Kate, it'll be alright."
This sudden news obviously disturbed Kate's situation. She wanted to say something on the phone, but she finally sighed with a wry smile: "Okay, I get it... I'll wait for you, Angie."
Angela finally breathed a sigh of relief after putting down the phone. Thinking about her performance just now, she could only smirk bitterly. However, there was another phone call to make, and not only was the excuse poor, but it was far more difficult to deal with than Kate. Even so, she still called, she couldn't imagine what her life would be like without any of them.
"Hi, Nat, is that you?" Angela asked, trying to stay calm after the long beep.
"Angie? I didn't expect you to call me." Natalie's voice was equally calm, which made Angela a little uneasy. It's okay to say if her mood fluctuates, but... the calmer the lake, the more likely it is to chant undercurrents.
"God, I've been so busy lately, I have to admire the perseverance of those reporters," Angela said, "especially tabloid reporters, who really dare to make up everything. I saw a ranking on the website. They actually listed all the women who might date me, almost all women I had a relationship with, and you ranked third. The most outrageous is that Nicole, Cameron They're also on the list because mature women make me feel warmer! Heck, their imaginations are so rich, it's a big loss not to write fantasy novels. I bet if it wasn't for my aunt already married to my uncle, She'll be on the list for sure."
"It sounds like you are very happy and proud?" Natalie stabbed her slightly.
"No, no, I just... have a feeling of crying and laughing." Angela hurriedly explained, "It's just to prepare for the next movie, but it's too bad to cause such a big disturbance."
"If you just want to tell me not to think too much, then I can guarantee that I didn't think about anything else." Natalie said very directly, and immediately blocked everything she was going to say next.
This made Angela extremely depressed and at the same time even more uneasy. As a last resort, she had to throw out the previous topic in advance: "Hey, Nat, this is not what I want to say!"
"Really? What is that?" Natalie's tone was still calm.
Angela took a deep breath and said in a dignified tone: "I have... told my parents everything about me, including when we started dating, what it was like at first, etc., all It's all said."
There was silence over there, and Angela waited patiently for a long time without hearing Natalie speak again, only the sound of rapid breathing could be vaguely heard. Just when she was getting more and more anxious, the other party's voice finally rang: "Your... your parents... already know?"
A little dry and a little flustered, this made Angela stunned for a few seconds, and she could almost picture the disturbed Natalie on the phone in her mind. To be honest, I really wanted to see, um, and hear her gaffe, although Angela knew that she would have such a reaction because it was different from Kate's experience, but there was a hint of joy at the same time as she was shocked.
"Don't worry, Nat, although Mom was a little squeamish about it for a while, Dad was non-committal. I think... he probably neither supported nor opposed it, and it didn't matter, they didn't get mad at you or say bad things about you. Everything... I make the decision myself, but now only my parents know about the family, and my uncle, aunt, and grandparents are still kept in the dark, so it is necessary to keep silent properly." Angela said in one breath, gasping for breath. He whispered again, "Nat, are you listening?"
"I... I... I'm listening, of course I'm listening, I heard everything you said. Well... that's good, Mr. Jared and Mrs. Elena, well... well. At least we can be more... More upright... no no no, not yet... I mean... I mean, at least our pressure..." Natalie was visibly incoherent.
"Calm down, Nat, calm down! I've talked to my parents separately, it'll be fine." Angela suppressed her excitement and said in a soothing tone. If Natalie was in front of her at this moment, she would definitely hold her in her arms and comfort her.
"Sorry, Angie, I think I have to hang up, this news... this news is a bit..." It sounded like Natalie was smiling wryly.
"I know, Nat, if you suddenly told me that Mr. Avner and Mrs. Shirley knew about us, I would be at a loss as well." Angela breathed a sigh of relief, "I will come to New York next month, We'll talk more about it later. Anyway, don't worry, okay?"
After finishing the call, Angela stood up and stretched out her hands and stretched completely, and then sat back on the bench with a hint of dejection. The feeling of exhaustion suddenly came to her heart, making her not even have the strength to smile bitterly.
"That's it," the girl muttered to herself, "at least it's all right for now."
The shock caused by the confession to her parents calmed Kate and Natalie for a while—although it would only be confirmed after they met—but Angela knew it wasn't a long-term solution, and the parents could just leave her alone and take care of her own. The problem does not mean that it will cover up for her. So I tried to confess to Kate and the others, and hoped that they would accept their own explanation. This kind of thing was put on the agenda again. Even if you run far away, you still have to face it in the back.
I hope... I hope it's not too bad, Angela said to herself in her heart.
"Hey!" Keanu in the center of the set suddenly called out, and Angela quickly let go: "Are you alright?"
Keanu grinned and rubbed his elbows for a while and didn't speak, he just gave Angela an annoyed look. After exchanging opinions with the director, Tiger Chen outside the set walked in with a wry smile: "Okay, let's rest for a while."
After saying that, he took a few steps to Keanu's side, raised his arm and looked at it: "It's not a big problem, right?"
"I don't know, as soon as my elbows go numb, I can't use my strength." Keanu pointed to the joints of his arms, "It's much better now."
"Well, should it be alright?" Angela, who was standing beside him and didn't walk away, asked cautiously, "I don't think Keanu's bones were broken, right?"
"You're practicing Wing Chun, not Vajra Fingers, Miss Angela!" Tiger said angrily, and then showed a curious look: "However, your reaction is really sensitive, and you can find the position very accurately. ."
"Thank you, my strength is not enough, so I have to start from other areas." Angela suddenly looked at Keanu with a smug look, and closed her mouth after noticing the other party's black face.
"Is this the third or fourth time, Angela?" Keanu asked annoyed and helpless, "I can consider the first and second times to be accidents, and again and again, I can only say that you definitely have something for me. dissatisfied."
"Oh, don't do this, Keanu, that's just my conditioned reflex under long-term practice," Angela quickly raised her hand, "There won't be another time, I promise!"
Keanu, who was rubbing his elbows, glanced at Angela angrily, and then asked Tiger: "Are people who often practice kung fu like this?"
"Of course—no!" Tiger shrugged and looked at Angela with mocking eyes, "Actually, people who are proficient in kung fu know how to send and receive freely, only those who practice often but are not good at learning will have conditioned reflexes in the competition. ."
"Come on, tiger, people who are proficient in kung fu will have conditioned reflexes, if I pick up a plastic baseball bat and sneak up behind you, and suddenly knock it down on your head, you will also put me on the first place. Fall to the ground!" Angela, who lost her face and couldn't hang herself, immediately retorted.
"But at least we know how to send and receive freely, and we can judge by feeling whether to strike lightly or hard, rather than—" Tiger dragged his voice, "When filming action scenes, we subconsciously attack the opponent's flaws!"
Although Angela tried her best to make her face look ugly, Tiger could also see that she was posing, so he continued in a mocking tone: "Mr. Ridley had suggested that you do exercises with me before, but you refused. , so it's obviously your problem - of course, you have nothing to say about denying me, you're the boss."
Angela hated her teeth for a while, but she didn't say much, the problem was indeed her own. So after taking a few deep breaths and calming down, he politely said sorry to Keanu, and then gave Tiger a blind eye before turning Shi Shiran and walking towards the rest area.
It's just that sometimes when she wants to rest, she can't rest. Just after she took a sip from the water glass, Ridley's voice rang beside her: "How do you feel, Angie?"
"What are you trying to say, Rayleigh?" Angela raised her eyebrows as she put down the glass. "If you meant my outfit, the answer was told to you weeks ago."
The white women's Tang suit, the black shoulder-length wig and the special sunglasses are completely in line with the theme of the "Matrix" series that pursues a "cool" appearance in the matrix. In addition, Angela's temperament showed according to her own speculation, which complements the whole movie, and the costume designer should be rewarded.
"Your image is really good, but I have to say more than that." The old man smiled, then blinked his eyes narrowly: "I want to know if you are a little dissatisfied after agreeing to this role under some pressure. ?"
"Hey, Rayleigh, the tiger has already laughed at me, do you want to laugh at me too?" Angela was really dissatisfied.
"Okay okay, I apologize, I'm sorry," Ridley quickly spread his hands, but his grin didn't change at all. Angela didn't really want to get angry, so she pouted and said with a bitter face: "You have to understand, Rayleigh, this is my first time in a sci-fi movie, and it's my first time in an action movie, so it's okay to be uncomfortable. Excuse me, right?"
"Of course," Ridley put away his smile and nodded, "but this is not your first time in a movie, so you shouldn't be able to adjust your state after so long, right?"
"I know, don't worry, I'll be fine, I was just getting used to it before." Angela nodded earnestly, and then blinked jokingly: "Don't worry, I won't and won't let Keanu miss out on it. You can't get up from lying on the ground."
Ridley laughed and was about to go elsewhere. After taking two steps, he turned his head: "Don't always have a bitter face when you encounter problems. That's for women... so be it."
This guy! Angela rolled her eyes at the old man who was running away. Now that she knew, why did she run over and talk about it? But having said that, it's only a small part of the relationship between having a bitter face and filming not going well, right
Thinking like this, the girl couldn't help but looked up and searched the crowd, but as soon as she raised her head, she rolled her eyes again, and a big black man was holding his son and walking towards her with a smile on his face.
"Hello, Miss Angela, it's a pleasure to meet you. This is my son Jaden. Jaden, this is your idol, Miss genius Angela." The big black introduced his three-year-old son enthusiastically. He has a pair of very distinctive ears, and he looks very handsome with thick eyebrows and big eyes.
"Hello, Will, and Jaden." Angela smiled and shook hands with the other party, and said hello to the laughing guy in his arms, "I don't think you should have a role today, come and visit the wife class of?"
"Yes, Jaden misses his mother, I'll bring him here to see, and by the way, I can meet his idol, why not?" Will shrugged and complained jokingly: "Say To be honest, you gave me too few scenes, and I was killed after only showing a few faces. And it was still so useless to be killed, at least you should let me and Neo or Smith fight a few tricks before being killed? "
"Even the guardian angel will be easily killed by Smith in the end. For your simple protection procedure, it is not bad to persist for two seconds," Angela raised her finger and shook it, "Don't be too greedy, Will. "
"Okay, you're the boss and you're the screenwriter." Will shrugged helplessly, then asked for an autograph for his son and said hello to find his wife.
This guy is naturally Will Smith, the leader among black male stars. When the crew asked his wife Jada to play the role, he made a lot of effort. And he himself likes the movie "The Matrix" very much, and has been lobbying to play a role in it, even if it is not paid.
After hearing about it, Angela generously gave him a program agent role, which was similar to the one in "Men in Black", but was beaten by Neo first, and then was beaten by Neo during the first duel between Neo and Smith. Smith was assimilated.
Even so, Will was very happy, so he had a lot of friendship with Angela. So, complaints like today are often heard.
Come to think of it, what movie would suit this guy? Angela looked at the back of Will holding her son away and thought like this, it seems that there is a movie that he and his son starred in together, it seems to be called...
At this time, she raised her eyebrows unexpectedly, and the figure she had been waiting for seemed to have just walked past the crowd.
