"So, Mr. Heath Ledger agreed?" Sparrow asked.
"No, no," Angela flipped through the document in her hand and shook her head like a rattle. "He said it took time to think about it, after all, it was an important decision. But—his eyes betrayed his heart."
If he was male or five or six years older, I'm afraid he would have agreed at the time. Although she said so, Angela still felt a little resentful in her heart, completely forgetting that any young woman had achieved what she had achieved.
"Okay, I'll tell McKinley to get them in touch with Mr. Ledger as soon as possible." Sparrow nodded and stood up, "If nothing else... Oh, no, how do you respond to those invitations?"
"Which ones?" Angela raised her head in a daze, then showed a stunned look, and then waved her hand: "Forget it, it's just been nominated three times in a row."
"Just?" Sparrow sat back on the sofa and spread his hands with a wry smile, "How many directors can do it?"
"Okay, Jack, let's wait until I get the golden statuette and talk about the interview or something," Angela waved. "Unfortunately, I don't think it will be mine this year."
The competition for best director this year is quite strong, except that Ann Lee of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" is a little weaker due to some factors, and Stephen Dedley of "Dancing Life" is directing a film for the first time. Whether it is Steven Soderbergh of "Drug Network" or Ridley Scott of "Gladiator", it seems that a girl under the age of 21 is more suitable for winning the golden man of best director, Even though the teen has been nominated for best director three times in a row.
His qualifications are still somewhat shallow. Angela was a little helpless in her heart, just like Dedley, although it was the first time he directed a movie, he had directed stage plays for more than ten years before that, and many of his works were well received. And how many years has it been since he picked up the guide tube? Yes, being nominated for best director three times in a row equals William Wheeler's record, but William Wheeler was a great director in the silent era.
But that's fine. Of course, being able to win the best director is helpful to me, but it's also helpful if I can't. Angela immediately threw those helpless out. And Brokeback Mountain messed up its plans, maybe a year or two later would be better, if…
"But the problem," Sparrow said again, "is not just three straight nominations for best director, three straight nominations for best picture and three nominations for best actor."
"It seems that I'm not the only one nominated for Best Picture for three consecutive films? As for Best Actor, that's a demonstration of the actor's own strength, isn't it?" Angela spread her hands, and then spoke again before Sparrow spoke. He waved his hand: "Well, arrange an exclusive interview with the print media during this time, and the rest will be discussed after the awards ceremony. Also, tell them that I don't want to hear about homosexuality during the interview!"
"I see," Sparrow nodded. "What about the rest?"
"Well, about the villa, I have already selected two or three models, and I will send the one I like to your mailbox when I have time to check it out." Angela smiled again after speaking, "Thank you. You, Jack."
"It is my pleasure to serve you, miss." Sparrow said solemnly, "if you consider..."
"A salary increase? Don't even think about it, Jack." Angela smiled and lowered her head to continue flipping through the information.
"Really... a neat answer." Sparrow shrugged, got up and left.
"Planning to move out?" Sitting not far from Angela, Alizee, who was looking up something on the computer, suddenly asked, her tone still carrying her characteristic dullness, "I have decided who I want to be with. live?"
Angela, who had just picked up the cup, almost spit out the coffee in her mouth. She glared at the other party with a little annoyance and helplessness: "If you find an opportunity, you will sneer at me, can't you?"
"The truth always hurts." Alizee replied indifferently, "For example, have you considered Mrs. Elena's feelings?"
"This..." Angela twitched the corners of her mouth, thinking of the complicated tone of her mother's voice when she called home several times when she spent the night at Kate or Jessica's place, she couldn't help but get a little head-scratching.
"Damn, everyone will go out independently, everyone has their own choices, everyone..." Angela waved her hand, she suddenly found that she didn't know what she was talking about.
So she simply sat in front of Alizee and raised her chin with a vicious expression: "If I move out, will you follow me?"
Alizee held a USB flash drive in front of her and said blankly, "There are two documents in it, one is an actress named Michelle at the beginning, and the other is an actress surnamed Williams, Aged between 22 and 18."
"Damn, can't you have a normal reaction?" Angela rolled her eyes and complained, taking the USB flash drive from her hand and inserting it into her laptop, and clicked depressedly.
"Don't worry, Annie and I will come with you," Alizee said lightly, "We are all yours."
"Mine?" Angela, who had unusually sensitive ears at this time, immediately opened her eyes and looked at Alizee exaggeratedly.
"I mean... We are the people around you." Although Alizee still maintained a calm tone when explaining, the embarrassment and anger caused by the gaffe that flashed on her face could not escape Angela s eyes. To be honest, when her expressionless face suddenly showed that look, she was really cute and seductive.
"Oh, Lily, I love you so much!" Angela tutted her face and made a face again, but fortunately she knew what to do when she saw it, and after a dry cough, she turned her attention to the computer screen: "Okay, Let me see if I can find the one I want."
Originally thought it would take some time, but within a few minutes Angela found the actress she needed, and she found it on both lists at the same time.
"Michelle Williams? No wonder I always remember something to do with Michelle or Williams." Angela rolled her eyes. It is also interesting that there is no one with the same name and surname as her in the information about so many young actresses.
Maybe God wanted her to play the role of Alma. Angela shrugged. Although she was also born in 1980, she is a little younger or even a few months younger than her, but she has already decided to rejuvenate the entire crew, isn't it
Very good, the male lead and supporting actress are all settled, just need to convince another guy, but there is one more... Just as Angela was thinking, there was a knock on the door, and then Annie pushed the door and walked in a few steps to come Packed up on the side of the coffee table.
When she coded the messy documents aside, and put the cup Sparrow used before in the tray to get up and leave, she suddenly found that Angela was staring at her intently. The little startled Annie could not help but touched her face strangely: "Is there something on my... face, Angie?"
"Ah? Oh, nothing, I just lost my mind." When she woke up, Angela quickly covered up and waved her hand. Seeing that Annie seemed a little disbelieving, she stood up and hooked Annie's chin with her fingers. He said in a frivolous tone: "By the way, Miss Anne Hathaway, I may move out in a while, will you come with me?"
Annie raised her eyebrows involuntarily: "It sounds like you are planning to change the housekeeper?"
"Huh? Ah? Oh, of course not," Angela couldn't help sticking out her tongue in her stomach, scolding herself for being a fool, "I mean... Are you ready?"
"Of course, I've been preparing since I appeared in front of you, miss." Annie straightened her body and crossed her hands in front of her body, crossed her legs and made a formal curtsy with a smile.
Angela couldn't help being stunned for a while, but she quickly reacted and stretched out her hands to shove Annie into her arms. After a long while, she said in a low voice, "I'm so glad to have you by my side, Annie."
Annie patted her on the back lightly, then picked up the tray and walked out. When she reached the door, she suddenly turned her head and asked in a mocking tone, "Are you sure you want to move out? Are you sure you're ready?"
The inexplicable Angela finally reacted after being stunned for several seconds, and immediately raised her voice: "Annie!"
It was a pity that Annie had already slipped out at this time, leaving her with only an empty door.
"Damn it!" Angela gritted her teeth and said, she folded her arms and looked at the place where the other party left, and she was a little lost.
"Shouldn't you be thinking of attacking Annie?" Alizee's voice sounded indifferently.
Angela, who could hear clearly, coughed a few times, turned her head and glared at Lily. But she also knew that this would be useless, so she simply sat down in front of Alizee with a wicked smile: "Yes, you are right, I plan to attack Annie! What? What does Miss Lily, who has always been on the sidelines, have anything to do with this? Any advice?"
"No, that's your business." Alizee said with her eyelids drooping, a hint of uneasiness flashed in her eyes.
Seeing that she didn't achieve the effect she wanted, Angela frowned and then walked around behind Alizee with a humming, leaning her head and kissing her earballs suddenly: "What if I want to attack you? "
Unexpectedly, Alizee suddenly bounced up, quickly stepped aside, and stared at Angela with a mixture of anger and dissatisfaction. Not expecting her reaction to be so violent, Angela was stunned. After a while, she asked cautiously, "If, if I offend you, may I apologize to you, Lily?"
Alizee took a few breaths, and finally returned to her usual calm appearance. She walked back and sat down: "If it's okay, please let me continue, unless you don't need these things today."
"Oh, of course." Angela raised her hands, and after a while, she leaned over and asked in a low voice, "Are you really not angry?"
Alize raised her head abruptly and glared at her, Angela hurriedly jumped back to her position, and muttered to the information in her hand: "Okay, Lily is angry, Lily has never been so got angry."
Alizie, who had gritted her teeth, retracted her gaze angrily, and a complex expression of anger, dissatisfaction, and a little bit of confusion flashed across her face. After rubbing her face hard and taking a few deep breaths, she saw that Angela was really flipping through the information without paying attention to herself, so she breathed a sigh of relief and continued to select for the other party.
In order to choose an actress who is suitable for the role of Lu Lin, Angela spent a few days looking at the cast information, and the film department also recommended a lot of people.
But she always felt a little inappropriate, after all, she planned to shoot with the "original crew".
It's not a good thing to delay and not solve it like this, so after thinking about it, Angela decided to select among the young actresses she has worked with.
"So, you found me?" Sarah Michelle Gellar looked at Angela and asked noncommittally.
"That's right," Angela nodded with a smile, "how is it? It's just an audition."
"I shouldn't have rejected you, Angie," Sarah sighed and made a few meaningless gestures, "but I've been very depressed recently, and the agent told me to rest for a while, otherwise..."
"So, are the rumors that the "Buffy the Vampire" crew wants to change people?" Angela asked in surprise, "How could this be? You've always acted very well, haven't you?"
"No, no, it's not like that," Sarah showed a sullen look, curled her legs and head on her arms and seemed to want to retract her body into the sofa, "Although the crew gave me a warning, the contradiction is not that serious. only… "
She shook her head with a wry smile, as if she didn't want to say anything more. Angela wanted to ask what was wrong, but seeing her listless appearance, she scratched her head and said angrily, "It's such a pity, you know that I only have you and Mi. Na, and Joe - Jordana Brewster - three candidates, and now you have no interest in it, which is terrible."
"Mina? Are you still planning to invite her?" Sarah suddenly sat up and asked.
"Of course, I told you that I plan to select among the young actresses I have worked with. After picking and picking, I found out that there are only three of you." Angela spread her hands and curled her lips, followed by her keen capture of something .
"What, did something go wrong between you and Mina?" she asked tentatively.
"What? No, no, nothing." Sarah was stunned and then shook her head like a rattle, but she couldn't hide her gnashing of teeth.
"Come on, don't try to lie to me - you broke up?" Angela narrowed her eyes.
"What are you talking about?" Sarah was startled and angry. "You came to me to ask such an inexplicable question?"
"Is that so? I still remember when you two got drunk and had sex in my guest room. You called Mina a lot when you were filming "The Grudge" in Tokyo, and also at the end of last year. You recommended Mina to play your sister in The Grudge, didn't you?" Angela pinched her chin and said smugly, Sarah's blushing and white face proved that her guess was inseparable.
"Oh, by the way, when my friends and I passed by a gay bar in West Hollywood in August last year, I thought there was a familiar figure. Now that I think about it, it should be you right!" This sentence is pure blackmail. Said that she was busy shooting a new movie in Princeton last August, and rarely went to West Hollywood even if she was shopping with friends. However, this kind of blackmail is still effective, especially when the other party is disrupted in Fangcun and has not been adjusted for a while.
"Okay okay, we did break up! You are satisfied now!" Sarah's hands slammed on the sofa and raised her voice and cried out excitedly, obviously she needed to vent.
"Can you tell me what happened? If you're willing to tell me." Angela said comfortingly.
Sarah quickly calmed down after shouting out the words in her heart. She looked at Angela with a strange look, and then frowned and asked, "Can I trust you? If someone else knows, I don't have the kind of ability you have. There will be the ability to say nothing.”
"Of course, I'll be conservative... Wait, what does it mean to say that there is nothing?" Angela frowned.
Sarah spread her hands out and said nothing, Angela couldn't help but feel a little furious: Did she see something? impossible? ! Just as her thoughts kept spinning in her head, Sarah began to speak: "You're right, I've been dating Mina since that unintentional affair with Mina. I… I've never felt this way about women before, but it's fresh, fun, exciting, and... happy. That wonderful feeling made me... It's like I've found another life, and we're like lovers in love, I know you can feel it."
As she spoke, the corners of her mouth twitched up, but it immediately turned into anger, making Angela, who wanted to ask what she felt and didn't understand, to shut her mouth and continue to listen: "Since before Halloween last year, I noticed that she Her attitude has changed. Although we maintain a lover relationship, we always feel that she is a little absent-minded. At first, I thought that because we were always busy with our respective careers, the separation time for a long time led to a decrease in enthusiasm. It's been good for a while. But I didn't expect... When I came back from a party at a friend's house on Thanksgiving, I saw her come out of the bar talking and laughing with another woman! That intimate look is definitely not an ordinary friend, God, She even called me in the morning and said she couldn't spend Thanksgiving with me! Damn it, how could she do this!"
Sarah clenched her hands into fists, gasping for air while maintaining a superficial calm: "She's dating Jennifer Love Hewitt, although I found out quickly but never said it. I kept going. I tried to tell me the truth, but she never uttered a word, as if... as if there was no such thing at all! I endured it until..."
"That's what it feels like!" Angela suddenly shouted, shaking her fist in surprise, "Lulin's reaction should be like this, you have to play this role, Sarah!"
