After completely solving the problem of the main actors, Angela will no longer be involved in the preparation of the crew. Anyway, the other actors and arrangements for Heath, Jack, and Sarah to study cowboy life can be handed over to the film department. As for figuring out things like life and communication between gay men, there's no need to remind Heath and Jack that they'll do it too. These are all things you need to do if you want to be a great actor.
For some reason, Angela asked them to hand in their opinions on the characters in the books every now and then, no matter how long or short it had to be, so she could make sure that Heath and Jack were on their own terms. Ideas to figure out the characters. Of course, these are all for later, Angela is currently busy with another embarrassing and important thing-writing the script of "Brokeback Mountain".
Because she was forced to make "Brokeback Mountain" by the situation, even if she had written an outline plus some beginning and ending, it was too rough and could only be used as a reference. Angela is sure to complete the script within a month, the premise is that she stays in the room quietly and does her best.
But look at what she has done since she threw this bombshell to divert the attention of reporters, cameo appearances in "The Matrix", appeases her lover, and fooled those young people to accompany her crazy - fool Heath and theirs. At that time, I didn't even have the first draft of the script, and I was completely cheating with the original novel.
So now she has to work overtime to start rushing drafts, can't let the actors just hold novels when they try to figure out the roles? If this is the case, it will not be necessary to re-create the novel to adapt it into a movie in the future.
"I really don't have time recently, so let's change it for a while, Kate," Angela said with the phone between her shoulders, typing words on the keyboard, "you know that I not only have to get the script out, but I also have to find time to figure out my new Characters. Honey, if you don't want to be teased by me after the boot, remember to think more about your characters when you take a break."
Without the other party refuting, she quickly closed the phone and threw it aside triumphantly.
"That's great, just need to change the title." Alizee, who handed over a stack of documents, gave her a thumbs up.
"Please, Lily, please don't do this?" Angela, who was still happy just now, suddenly became sad, and it was even more ironic to say such words with a blank face.
Heck, what the hell happened to Lily? The girl thought depressedly, since she helped select Michelle Williams' information that day, Alizee would always stab her a word or two from time to time. Although she used to be like this, but now the frequency is too fast, right? And the topic is always focused on her and the three lovers.
"The truth always hurts." Alizee shrugged, "Almost everything you want is here, call me again if you need to."
"The last two sentences are always different!" Angela wanted to defend herself, but the girl left the room without looking back. She could only roll her eyes and groan, bury her head on the table, and stab her fingers into her hair for a while.
Angela had just turned off Jessica's appointment five minutes before Kate called. And it was also because she was busy with the manuscript that Alizee sneered at her "just need to change the title."
"Damn!" Angela, who couldn't concentrate after trying to type a few words on the keyboard, called out angrily. If she does this again, I'm welcome! The girl thought so.
Of course, Angela was just thinking about it. She always had a guilty pity for Alizee, different from Lindsay, closer to Annie, but more guilty than Annie. So she tolerated Alizee's picky behavior very much.
"But that doesn't mean it can be tolerated forever! People's patience is limited!" Angela raised her head and howled, then quickly covered her mouth and looked around nervously.
Fortunately, no one came in. The girl breathed a sigh of relief. But what I said was right, I can't let Lily think like this all the time... I can say what I think, I'm very embarrassed.
So what's the lesson for her? Angela smiled and squeezed her fist, how about dealing with Lily the same way she dealt with Manny? Although hers is not as big as Manny, it looks like it should feel good...
Damn it! What are you thinking! The girl rolled her eyes and waved, as if she wanted to drive this absurd thought out of her head. However, there is still no writing state, so Angela simply got up and stretched a little, and then sat in front of the piano.
A song "To Alice" suddenly flowed out from the fingers, but the person who played it had an irresistible disturbance in the heart, so the song was obviously played faster. Angela knew it too, but instead of making adjustments, she played the whole song in one go.
Then he sighed and closed the lid.
Maybe, I can use a roundabout way? She suddenly thought so. Like testing Jesse through Lindsay or Vivi? Or have Manny ask Nat? Lindsay is still a kid though, and Manny seems to be leaning towards Nat... well, gotta get them on her side first... But what about Kate? Rachel? Do not be silly!
Angela felt a pain in her head, when Annie knocked on the door and came in: "Angie, time."
"Ah? Oh, sorry, I was so absorbed in thinking about things that I didn't pay attention to the time." Angela immediately responded, "Please tell mom, I'll be down soon after tidying up."
Annie nodded and was about to leave. After taking two steps, she turned her head and looked at Angela hesitantly: "Angie, I..."
"What's the matter?" Angela, who was taking off her shirt, stopped her movements when she saw her like this.
"It's nothing," Annie smiled, "Lily has been a little..."
She was still considering the words, and Angela waved her hand disapprovingly: "It's nothing, Annie. You know, I have always regarded you and her as sisters, although Lily is indeed a little bit too much, but it's not a big deal. things."
After a pause, the girl took a few steps to Annie, raised her eyebrows and deliberately pretended to be vicious: "However, you can tell her that if one day I can't bear it any longer, I will definitely launch a violent revenge!"
"Um..." Annie thought for a while, "Is this an ultimatum?"
"I think it may be better to use it as comfort." Angela raised her chin pretending to be arrogant.
"Okay, I'll pass it on for you." Annie pointed to the time and turned away.
Angela shrugged and continued to change her clothes in front of the mirror. Strange, although Anne often protects Lily, it is the first time that she has come to me so directly. What happened? The girl shook her head and then threw the thought aside.
After changing into a decent long dress, Angela pulled out of the bedroom, and before she went downstairs, she heard Willie's criticism: "This is not right, fighting is rude!"
"If I don't beat him, he won't beat me?" followed by Ike's unconvinced retort.
"Hey, are you guys going to argue about this issue for the rest of your life?" Angela shook her head amusingly and walked down.
Three days ago, the principal of the private elementary school where the two little guys are currently studying invited their mother over because Ike had overturned two children in the same grade as him at the school! As for the reason, according to Ike's words, those two guys wanted to bully him because they were taller, and after forbearance was fruitless, he moved his hands - easily knocked those two guys to the ground. Of course, Angela didn't know what the truth was, after all, she wasn't there.
Father and mother have completely different attitudes towards this matter. Father thinks it is normal for children to fight. He even used himself as an example, saying that when he was seven or eight years old, he had a lot of fights with Brian. Although the mother was noncommittal to the father's words, she asked Jennifer to supervise Ike to review the family etiquette again.
It was a terrible thing. Although Angela expressed sympathy for her brother in her heart, she had to pretend that she didn't see anything after the little guy looked for help. She didn't want to flirt with her mother's beard at this time. If her mother said "Chris, as a sister, how about setting an example for Ike", it would be a tragedy.
Therefore, the only thing Angela can do is to take the time to comfort the little guy. Although she also agrees with her father's statement, Ike has gone a little too far. It's okay to overturn the two guys with his own hands, but he still rides on one person from one end of the corridor to the other - that's why my mother is angry.
But the most interesting thing is that these days Willie always wants to pretend to be a sister in front of Ike. It's a pity that Ike is no longer the follower of a few years ago. Not only is he arguing with Willie, but if he is forced to be in a hurry, he can simply say aggrieved: "A few seconds earlier than me soon." It really makes people laugh.
"Okay, stop arguing, otherwise I won't talk to you before the summer vacation!" Angela waved her hand, and immediately blocked the words of the two little guys who were scrambling to judge.
Looking at the half aggrieved younger brother and sister, Angela squatted down with a smile and hugged the two little guys into her arms, and then kissed each other on the cheek: "Isn't it good now?"
Ike wasn't doing well yet, but Willie pouted first: "Sister is partial now, just like her mother, she is facing Ike."
Angela glared at her funny and angrily, and suddenly came over and kissed Willie's face again. This time, it wasn't like before and walked away with a touch of water, but it was like kissing Willie in the face. In the end, Angela simply turned into a bite, and at the same time smeared the saliva on the little guy's face, causing Willie to scream.
Finally, Angela let go of her sister, followed Haha and laughed and ran away. Willie naturally chased after him unwillingly, and Ike immediately joined in, and the hall was full of giggling voices.
It feels so good to have family around, oh my dear brothers and sisters, I hope you never grow up.
The chase finally ended with the arrival of his parents. Although Ike was being punished these days, his mother didn't say much, and the family came to the restaurant very harmoniously.
Although it is common for the whole family to have dinner together, it still makes people feel warm every time. At this time, even the lively little ones would sit in their seats properly - although Angela knew more about the power of their mothers - even the conversation between the seats was soft-spoken.
"I don't have any other work at the moment, just busy with the script of "Brokeback Mountain" and a new movie role. As for the musical talent, I haven't negotiated with the Hollywood record company yet." Angela said while pulling the chicken on the plate and smiling. .
In fact, it is not an issue that has been negotiated or not, but that both parties are hesitating. From the perspective of the record company, it is still necessary to retain Angela. Even if the C&B group is now red and purple, it is already recognized as the number one idol girl group in the United States; even if the newcomer Avril who just debuted is amazing, everyone thinks that her future is immeasurable.
The former can completely replace Angela as the company's signature, and the latter has the same possibility, but the problem is that Angela is not just a famous pop singer! If nothing else, how many people like her have been able to mess up 90% of the lyrics and songwriting of their released songs since her debut? Even if at the 43rd Grammy Awards before, Angela not only lost the opportunity to win the best single six times in a row, but also got nothing in the six nominations, but it still can't hide the light of five consecutive times.
Let go of such a singer, songwriter, producer? Unless the CEO of the company's head burns out. But the problem is that everyone knows Angela's laziness, think about what she has done in the past few years. If you continue to sign the contract, the benefits are huge and the trouble is not small. Besides, only God knows whether Miss Genius will take this opportunity to claim more and greater rights.
In fact, Angela's delay in negotiating with the record company is precisely in this regard. This year looks like it's going to be busy again and with the increasing popularity of mp3s and the release of iPods, the song distribution model is bound to change, and she'll have to maintain a certain level of influence in every way until she can achieve her goals.
"You seem to have too much work, dear," reminded the mother, "think about it, director, actor, singer, your energy is always limited. The result of trying to do everything well is likely to be , everything is not good.”
Angela couldn't help laughing bitterly in her stomach, and she knew that there was something else in her mother's words.
"I know, Mom, can you give me time?" Angela said with a sigh.
She has a reason to grab hold of her career, but emotionally
"By the way, Chrissy," my father said, changing the subject. "It's your 21st birthday in a few days. How are you going to celebrate it? You know it's just as memorable as your 18th birthday."
"Yeah, many things that were illegal in the past can become legal after the 21st birthday," Angela pouted, and then gave a wicked smile: "How about this, Dad, I'll ask some friends to undress How was the dance club celebration?"
The father opened his eyes wide in shock and laughed out loud, while the mother called out in a more serious tone, "Chrissy!"
"Okay, Mom, it's just a joke." Angela stuck her tongue out in her heart and quickly raised her hand. To be honest, she suddenly really wanted to go to a strip club to celebrate her 21st birthday.
However, Willie and Ike's subsequent words immediately made her put away this absurd thought: "Sister, what is a strip club?"
"Well... it's nothing," Angela stuck her tongue out in her heart again in the face of these two curious babies, and then changed the subject in her mother's slightly stern eyes: "I was just thinking about who to invite."
Speaking of this, her heart suddenly moved, and a thought suddenly popped up, maybe this is an opportunity...
"It's still up to you to draw up the list, I just want to ask..." The father was talking when he heard a word suddenly pop out of his daughter's mouth: "New York!"
"Sorry, Chris, what are you talking about?" Father asked incomprehensibly.
"I mean...I can...I want to..." Angela's head turned quickly, thinking about what might happen then and what words and excuses to use now, "I want to...celebrate my 21st birthday in New York. "
"New York?" The parents looked at each other involuntarily.
"Yes, New York. Most of the time, I spend my birthday in Los Angeles, and occasionally in London. There are almost none in New York. If it hadn't been for Harvard, I would have held a party in Los Angeles." Angela said in one breath came out, "Also, Grandpa would love to spend his 21st birthday in New York."
After a few minutes of silence, the father and mother exchanged glances and nodded to her: "Well, dear, you have the right to decide where to celebrate your birthday. But... I want to remind you."
A rare smirk appeared on my father's face: "The guest list may expand three or four times."
"Why?" Angela asked strangely, but his father just smiled and didn't answer directly.
The girl reacted immediately, and a beautiful face suddenly became bitter: "Can I not do this?"
"You know, Chrissy, this kind of party is a good place to socialize," Dad put away his smile and shook his head, "even if you're throwing a party in Los Angeles, unless you're going to celebrate yours in a low-key way from the start. Birthday. But if it's in New York, you have to convince Grandpa even if you want to keep a low profile."
"Dad!" Angela increased her tone, and her father immediately raised his hands.
"I've decided, it's in New York." The girl announced immediately.
"What about us?!" The younger brothers and sisters suddenly shouted in unison, their faces full of anxiety and dissatisfaction.
"And if Mom and Dad agree, let's go to New York together." Angela looked at her mother with a smile.
Mom smiled slightly and didn't say much, but judging from her appearance, she should not refuse, which made the two little guys cheer in a low voice.
"Of course, I don't force my father to go to New York," Angela said, grimacing at her father, and then looking at her mother after her father shook his head with a wry smile, "but mother must participate."
"Okay, okay, I will." The mother smiled and nodded.
Get it! Hurry back to your room and think about what to do when you think about it, don't make mistakes...
However, why is there always an inexplicable anxiety
