Lindsay grinned, obviously pinched, but she still resisted and said in a normal tone, "Don't worry, I know the difference between confidence and pride, Angie!"
"I agree," Liam looked at Angela and then at Lindsay, and suddenly laughed, "Although Lindsay has many shortcomings, at least she still understands this aspect."
"Did you see that, Angie, Lim said that about me." Lindsay with ears pricked up immediately shouted proudly.
Angela couldn't help raising her eyebrows, her eyes swept between Liam and Lindsay, until the girl pouted a little unhappy before she smiled and said: "I have to admit, you are really a matching father. Female."
"Of course, playing with Lim is really flattering." Lindsay nodded sharply, as if she liked this statement. Angela couldn't help raising the corners of her mouth. She seemed to think of something: "So, if there is another opportunity to cooperate, you will definitely not refuse it?"
The beautiful eyes curled up, and then glanced at Liam: "I suddenly feel that there is a role that suits Lim."
"Really?" Liam raised his eyebrows, surprise and doubt flashing in his eyes. The meaning in Angela's words couldn't be more obvious, but everyone knew that she almost only wrote scripts for close friends around her now, and it was almost impossible for others to ask her to write a script or something, and now she But say so...
"A retired agent, he has a lovely adult daughter who lives with his remarried ex-wife," Angela said with a smile, "He loves his daughter very much, but unfortunately he can't give her anything more, only I can silently guard my side. Until one day, my daughter, who is about to become an adult, fell into the hands of human traffickers because she did not listen to her father's advice when she traveled to Europe. The father of the retired agent had to go back to his old business to rescue his daughter. There are only 72 hours, after this time, he will never be able to find his daughter again, so he will do whatever it takes to kill everyone who stands in his way!"
"Wow, that sounds really cool!" Angela called out just after Lindsay finished speaking, her eyes were full of twinkling little stars: "So my character must be that daughter?!"
"Don't be too happy, that role will not be played for more than 20 minutes, I promise." Angela hit her slightly. Although Lindsay showed a stunned look, she waved her hand indifferently: "It doesn't matter, anyway, Lim is my supporting role in this movie, so I should be a supporting role for him."
"You see it very well, Lindsay." Angela raised her eyebrows unconsciously. Does this girl have an Electra plot
Liam coughed dryly at this time: "I have heard that Enwei, the genius lady, is agile and may have inspiration at any time. I finally saw it once today. I have to say, it is very surprising."
"Thank you for your compliment, Lim," Angela said with a smile, "it's just an outline, and it will take time to complete it. In fact, this idea was conceived a few years ago. At first, I mainly wanted to write a father and a Daughter's story..."
Speaking of this, her heart couldn't help but move, but she continued to talk: "When I was thinking about how to express a father's love for his daughter, I was constantly swinging between literary and entertainment films. I thought about delicate I've been trying to describe their relationship conflict, and I've also thought about using a father to take back his daughter from a bad guy. Since I've been unable to make a decision, I put this idea aside and I'll talk about it later, until I see the two of you. …”
Angela's mouth curved: "An idea jumped into my mind, this can be a father of an excellent retired agent who can keep calm in everything, and he loves his daughter more than anyone, so When his daughter is in danger and falls into the hands of human traffickers, he can do anything to save his daughter!"
This script is naturally "Hurricane Rescue", and it is also the movie that Angela has the deepest impression on Liam. When she first saw Liam in "Schindler's List", her first reaction was this movie, and you can imagine how familiar Angela is with "Hurricane Rescue".
Although this is a complete commercial entertainment film, it is undeniably very good-looking, so it was put into the "treasure box" by Angela early on. Although in her mind Liam is still the best person to play the agent's father, this film is not suitable for release before 2000, if it is not for seeing Lindsay and Liam so close, like a real couple Father and daughter, she may have to put it off for a few more years.
Angela's outline is gone here, and after pondering for a long time, Liam sighed: "I have to admit, Angela, your description touched me, although it is still an idea, I have become curious..."
"So, you agreed?" Angela immediately hit the snake with a stick.
"Of course, Lim will definitely not refuse, right?" Lindsay, who had been holding back her speechless words, screamed again, blinking her eyes and looking at Liam beside her with a look of anticipation.
Little idiot, did you say that? Angela had the urge to roll her eyes. To her surprise, however, Liam laughed after looking at Lindsay: "Obviously, I can't say no."
Good guy, as expected of a father and daughter. Although so slandered, Angela still showed a surprised look: "Really?"
Following her, she added: "I have to remind you, Lim, that this script is not finished yet, and even if it is finished, because someone may have to delay it until 2003."
Angela said, glancing at the excited Lindsay: "I don't believe that someone can act like a 17-year-old girl should be now."
Lindsay, who heard this, immediately refuted her chest, but she swallowed the words that came to her lips under Angela's gaze. Liam, who was looking in his eyes, smiled and shook his head: "Didn't you already make up your mind for me to appear?"
"Then it's settled." Since Angela is not hypocritical, "I will match your schedule when the time comes."
"Thank you." Liam gentleman nodded, and the girl grabbed Lindsay: "If you don't mind..."
"Oh, of course." Liam immediately made a please gesture.
After holding the girl to the corner and seeing that she was still looking away reluctantly, Angela, who was so angry and funny, couldn't help but ask, "Is Lim worth your nostalgia?"
"Of course," Lindsay said, turning her head sharply, "Lim is funny, gentle, caring and caring, and he helped me a lot while filming in Tennessee. And he plays the guitar really well, too. , he plays me and sings the theme song much better than I play me!"
Seeing her chattering non-stop, Angela couldn't help but feel a little pantothenic in her heart: "So, you fell in love with him?"
"Hey, what are you talking about?" Lindsay's face suddenly fell, "I respect Lim a lot!"
After saying this, her face suddenly changed a little, and her tone began to become a little sad: "Actually... It's not wrong to say that I fell in love with him, if my father... "
Seeing the lonely look on Lindsay's little face, Angela's heart softened. Despite her many worries, the situation about Michael Lohan was always in control. Although that guy didn't do anything out of the ordinary, he was still not worthy of the word father, and he was still doing a lot of dirty things. In this regard, Angela has no other way, as long as the other party does not cross the bottom line, she can only watch.
Four years left... Angela sighed inwardly, and patted Lindsay's arm comfortingly: "Don't think so much, you still have us, and Lim, don't you?"
The reason why she assigned "My Good Girl is a Big Star" to Lindsay, in addition to being the right age, was mainly because it was a father and daughter story. Obviously, Liam, the father, did a pretty good job, just look at Lindsay's nostalgic appearance, and Disney really found the right person. Angela raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and it would be a good thing for them to continue their father-daughter relationship in "Hurricane Rescue".
Thinking of this, her heart moved slightly again, and a familiar face suddenly emerged from her heart. My father never made a statement about his teachings, always trying to guide him, and whenever he made a decision, he always found his way to support him. Bit by bit crossed her heart, Angela unknowingly pressed her chest.
Recalling what Liam had said before, in fact... I can try it myself... Of course, not yet, now... Angela's brows suddenly wrinkled, and her spirit suddenly became a little dazed. That question... still unanswered...
At this time, a hand reached out to him and shook it, followed by Lindsay's voice: "Hey, what are you thinking about?"
"What?" Angela finally came back to her senses, and Lindsay looked at the center of the venue and waved her hands exaggeratedly: "God, you are actually in a daze in such a place. If you are remembered and seen, your image will be completely ruined!"
"You're finished after you say it?" Angela shook the fist in her hand as a threat.
"Okay," Lindsay didn't pay attention to her actions at all, she reached out and pushed Angela's fist away, puffed her chest out and patted the other's shoulder carelessly, "Don't worry, Angie, Lim is just me Very respected elder, you are the person I love the most - always!"
"I'm the one you love the most?" Angela looked stunned, and then realized that the girl had misunderstood her expression just now. She couldn't help but shook her head with a smile, and pinched Lindsay's face affectionately: "It's a touching confession, but it doesn't mean you can get away with it—what about Jesse?"
"Um... I think it should be..." Lindsay suddenly became stunned, and she whispered after a while, "Well, I don't know, we separated when I wanted to talk to Lim."
Angela rolled her eyes and didn't know whether to smile bitterly or what: "I remember you promised me, Lindsay."
"Of course, of course I promised you, and I've already..." Lindsay suddenly closed her mouth, rolled her eyes and suddenly revealed a narrow smile, her voice lowered a lot: "Have you quarreled?"
"Hey, what are you thinking in your head?!" Angela opened her eyes in dissatisfaction to hide her guilty conscience.
"I mean that kind of quarrel." Lindsay continued to laugh, and she waved her hand when she saw that Angela seemed to be angry: "Well, one day you will admit it - Jesse has been doing well recently, but occasionally I'm in a daze and don't know what I'm thinking, most of the time I'm in a good mood."
"Really?" Angela asked suspiciously.
"Of course, why should I lie to you?" Lindsay spread her hands.
Saying this... My guess should be correct, Jesse is the least likely person to hide his emotions, so maybe it's just a little... Angela sighed inwardly.
How to speak
"Listen to me, Angie, if there's any problem, just say it and Jesse won't forgive you."
"Really?" Lindsay's serious tone was completely inconsistent with the naughty expression on her face.
But she quickly thought of something again, and her eyes suddenly widened: "Don't you fall in love with that Natalie and want to break up with Jesse?! You can't do this, Angie! Otherwise I'll be very angry! "
Angela bit her tongue and didn't know what to say for a while, before sighing: "Can't you stop targeting Nat, Lindsay? You've done a great job at the birthday party, Don't think that Nat is afraid of you if he doesn't talk back, think about what you said was simply diverted by her. Why don't you like her?"
"Why should I like her?" Lindsay pouted.
The girl sighed and suddenly felt a little headache. She didn't understand why Lindsay and Nat were not at odds? When talking about Nat in the past, she often showed a look of disdain. At the birthday party more than a month ago, she used to run on Nat from time to time - this is what Jesse said to her.
Of course, with her simple and reckless personality, Nat and Nat are not at the same level of opponents. If Nat hadn't let her and she knew that this was his birthday party, God knows if Nat would have scolded him completely.
Strange, they obviously haven't seen each other a few times? Angela rubbed her temples. It seems very early, by the way, when everyone was filming "Little Ghosts and Thieves", they seemed to be a bit... Why is this
"Anyway, Angie, if you dump Jesse because of that Natalie, I'm sure I'll never finish with you..." Lindsay was still rambled, fortunately the premiere was about to begin.
"Okay, it's time for us to go in. Let's talk about what we have to say." Angela squeezed the girl's cheeks and dragged her away quickly.
Although the main line of "The Good Girl is a Big Star" by Angela has not changed, it is about the daughter who has become a star and is becoming more and more proud. Faced with all kinds of temptations, the father takes her back to help her daughter. The hometown of Tennessee began a story of ordinary life.
But she made a lot of careful adjustments in the details. For example, at the beginning, Emily played by Lindsay wore a wig and sang loudly at the concert, and the atmosphere was lively. When the camera cuts to campus, the classmates are talking about the popular singer's concert, while Emily, who has taken off her wig, sits with her best friend—who also knows her true identity—worrying about her homework. Even when she was asked what she thought about Emily's concert, she was scolded as a "hillbilly" behind her back because she didn't respond.
Angela uses this method to reflect the huge contrast between the popular singer's Emily and the student's Lindsay - yes, she randomly named this character's identity on stage, and it's very unscrupulous Let the real identity use Lindsay's real name. This added to the persuasive power of Lindsay's growing pride.
There are many other places like this. For example, in order to highlight the feeling of "an ordinary person when you don't need it, and a big star when you need it", she specially set up an interesting scene in the boutique: Can't you buy it as an ordinary person? OK, go out for a few consecutive shots of hair removal, make-up, and tidying up, and then go in, all groveling.
Another example is that in order to highlight her father's good intentions, she specially arranged a simple party in the small town. After chatting a lot with her daughter, her father came to the stage and sang a country ballad for her daughter.
The director has a good grasp of what she wants to express, and coupled with the beautiful rural scenery of Tennessee, the whole film looks beautiful. As for the acting, both Lindsay and Liam were excellent.
Lindsay's well-placed exaggeration makes the movie a lot, and the deliberately practiced southern accent sounds funny without being objectionable. And Liam, who has completely changed his temperament and is no different from a country singer, plays the image of a father who is worried about his daughter.
The most popular place is the father and daughter watching the dark clouds in the distance in the small pergola, when the opponent sang "Butterfly Fly Away" after a scene. Whether it is Liam or Lindsay, their emotions are very devoted and in place. When the music starts to sing, the soft singing accompanied by the clear guitar seems to have a magic that makes people just want to listen quietly. In addition, the lens unfolds and the surrounding scenery is included, and the whole picture is very beautiful.
Even in the end, when Lindsay sang "The Climb" loudly against the breeze on the stage, it couldn't match the warmth of this moment.
When Lindsay herself saw this passage, her eyes couldn't help showing aftertaste and nostalgia. Angela, who was sitting next to her, saw it all, and immediately put her arms around the girl's shoulders, and Lindsay naturally leaned on her shoulders.
Do you understand what I'm trying to say, Lindsay? Yes, I gave you a father in the movie, even if it was very brief, I believe it can comfort you somewhat. But, you know what else I want to say? Of course, when you become the star, can you resist the temptation? Are you ready? Do you have your own perseverance
Don't let me down, Lindsay, don't let this stain your innocence! Don't... be like me...
