"What are you talking about, Maisie?" Angela, who turned her head, stopped pushing, but kept winking at Maeves. But Maeves continued her previous words as if she hadn't seen it, "There are about seven bodyguards for His Royal Highness, five in the lounge and two in the corridor outside, but there should be plainclothes among the crowd outside the theater."
"Did you hear, Chris, I didn't lie." William said a little proudly after finishing his clothes, and then politely extended his hand to Mavis: "Thank you for your honest words, may I know your name?"
"Mavis von Neurich." Mavis shook hands with William calmly.
"Feng?" William showed a surprised look just like Angela at the time.
"It's just a name, Your Highness." Mavis still said in that indifferent tone.
"Mess is personally responsible for my safety." Angela's voice interjected, "Besides, she is an FBI agent."
"You said... this beautiful Miss Maeves von Neurich is an FBI agent?" William was completely stunned, "It's surprising, what position did you hold in the White House, Keri Silk?"
"In fact, it is said that some terrorists wanted to kidnap me, so the FBI sent people to protect me personally," Angela spread her hands and curled her lips. "It's just that nothing has happened since the beginning of the year."
"Nothing happened? Don't think I know nothing when I'm in England, Chrissy," William frowned and looked up and down the girl, "in the street and gangsters in a shootout, on 9/11 saving people under the World Trade Center... God , are you really the Angela Christina Mason I know?"
Listening to the resentment in the other party's tone, Angela only felt goosebumps all over her body! Well, you're the first to be like this without physical contact, amazing, William!
Fortunately, Maeves cleared the siege for her: "By the way, Angie, Ms. Rowling seems to be looking for you, come and have a look when you have time."
"I'm free now, I'll go over immediately!" Angela said quickly, "Sorry, William, let's talk later when I'm free."
After the girl finished speaking, she dragged Mavis and hurried away, leaving the depressed Prince William standing alone, with that "how can you do this" expression on his face was really funny.
"Thank you for your help, if you hadn't dismantled my stage at the beginning, this trouble would have been solved long ago." Angela said to Mavis with a complaint after digging into the crowd to make sure that William hadn't caught up.
"Sorry, I didn't know your IQ would drop to such a low level at such a time." Mavis retorted.
The girl couldn't help twitching her lips: "Okay okay, I just thought... Hey, you look pretty today."
Compared with the first meeting a few months ago, Maeves' hair has grown a lot longer, and it is combed on both sides and placed on her shoulders. Although it is simple, it is quite tasteful. That blue and black dress with thin shoulders perfectly complemented her long-term training curves, and she had a unique temperament, and her graceful appearance was no less than anyone else's.
"Thanks, I guess it's just a compliment, right?" Maeves glanced at her.
"Of course..." Angela nodded, then reacted and looked at the female detective with a weird look, "Why, do you think I have something in my words? Hey, I'm really praising you!"
"I'm just asking casually, don't be so nervous." Mavis shrugged, and the corners of her mouth suddenly turned up, with a hint of ridicule in her smile: "Frankly, I didn't know you were so attractive to men. ."
"What!" Angela instantly petrified.
The premiere of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" has no suspense at the end. As Chris Columbus, who often shoots G-rated movies, he handles this theme very smoothly. Besides, the first two parts of the whole series are also the most childlike, so some plots have to be cut, but the quality of the movie is still quite good.
Especially when the Great Hall of Hogwarts appeared on the big screen for the first time, the countless candles flying on the ceiling caused a low sound of admiration one after another in the auditorium, and even Rowling sitting next to Angela couldn't bear it. Live muttering things like "great". Although she stayed on the set from the beginning, watching the dream scene being built, the shots that appeared on the big screen were all optimized effects, which naturally gave people a higher level of feeling.
Therefore, after the movie ended, there was a loud applause in the hall. In the face of such a situation, there is no need to consider the possibility of failure, which is not a high probability, so now the question has become a matter of how much money can be earned.
"The total box office may not exceed one billion...but it should be very close." Angela, who was sitting in the car, recalled carefully. The previous premiere reminded her of a lot of scenes from the original "Philosopher's Stone". In comparison, although this version still beats the top half, the advantage is not very obvious, so whether the box office can reach 1 billion depends entirely on luck .
Forget it, don't think too much, just let it be. Angela said so in her heart.
But then his face became bitter again, what do you think if you don't want this? William's deafening demeanor or Maeves' snarky speech
Just when her head was a little big, Xia Xia in her arms suddenly made a sound of "uuuuuuuu", turned her body over and wrapped her body around the girl's neck naturally, followed by the soft arch that buried her head in her chest. , continue to fall asleep.
"It's here again. If I had known, I would have asked your mother to accompany you to the premiere. Why should I put up such an errand?!" Angela rolled her eyes. Having said that, she not only kept her voice to a minimum, but also raised the arm that was holding the little girl so that she could lie down more comfortably.
Xia Xia was really exhausted. After all, she was not yet 12 years old, so she fell asleep on Angela not long after getting in the car. The pity girl held her in her arms, her original intention was to let her sleep comfortably, but the little guy was extremely dishonest and would twist from time to time. I didn't think there was any problem when I was young before, but now Xia Xia is developing into a big girl, it is inevitable that she will often encounter some sensitive places that make Angela embarrassed. To say that she did it on purpose, but she was really sleeping, so Angela couldn't let it out even if she had a temper.
Damn kid, one day you will pay for what you do, everything since you were born! Looking at Xia Xia who was soundly asleep, Angela said fiercely in her heart. And the little guy in the girl's arms, who knew nothing about it, didn't know what he was dreaming at the moment, the corners of his mouth curled up to reveal a sweet smile, that cute appearance really made me feel pity, even the angry Angela He couldn't help but caressed her face lightly.
At this time, the RV stopped, and after confirming that there were no paparazzi around, Angela carried Xia Xia to the door of the apartment under the dim street light. After muttering "you're so heavy", she rang the doorbell.
"Hi, Mrs. Jacqueline, I sent the little guy back intact." Angela smiled and said to the lady who opened the door, "but it was a little late, and she fell asleep in the car."
"It's okay, thank you for sending her back." Jabenlin said, reaching out and picking up the little girl from Angela's arms.
"Mummy..." Xia Xia, who was in the haze, was awakened, and immediately recognized her mother. She opened her arms and let her hold him into her arms. Fortunately, she didn't forget anything. After yawning cutely, she turned her head and grinned at Angela's confused grin: "I love you, Angie."
Seeing her drowsiness that she didn't know where she was, Angela couldn't help chuckling, and immediately leaned over and kissed her on the cheek: "I love you too, Xia Xia."
"Otherwise, come in and sit down." Jacqueline said.
"No, it's very late, besides..." Angela turned to look at the two cars behind the RV, and shrugged somewhat self-deprecatingly, "There are a lot of people following me."
"Then, good night, Angie." Jacqueline nodded with a smile, then closed the door.
Angela took a long breath of the cold air and walked back to the car, thinking back to Xia Xia's sleepy and cute appearance, her heart suddenly became relaxed.
The girl hurried back to Boston the day after the premiere. It was already doomed that "Harry Potter" would take the lead in this year's Christmas season and blow a magical whirlwind. 》The final finishing work is done better. As for movie reviews? Come on, what is there to say about this kind of film that is completely child-oriented? At most, it is nitpicking on the film technique and the performance of the actors. If you are a die-hard book fan, you will be dissatisfied with the deletion of some plots. Such a problem Anyone can pick up a bunch of them.
No matter what, it can't stop "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" from topping the box office charts everywhere. In North America alone, it took away $100 million in the first weekend!
"This little wizard with glasses just waved his wand, and countless children rushed into the cinema." A film critic wrote in his column with some pantothenic acid.
The major film companies are also jealous, and anyone with a little bit of business savvy can see the commercial value contained in this series of novels. It's a pity that it is impossible for them to get a share of the pie now. Pixar not only won the production rights of the first three films early, but also has the right of first refusal for the last four films.
As for the idea of playing the last four... Don't be silly, let's think about the relationship between Miss Angel and Magic Mom.
But these Angela don't care, except to write a few words on the blog about the feeling of the premiere and the love of this series of novels, and then plunge into the finishing work of "Brokeback Mountain", she is not in this film anyway. In any position - even if she was the one who contacted Rowling and recommended Xia Xia to play Hermione - so naturally there was no obligation to promote it.
Anyway, the magic mother promised to accompany the whole process to promote, the popularity of the three young leading actors will not be bad after the movie is released, and Angela is just the icing on the cake. But then again, it seems that Angela has never fully fulfilled her publicity obligations. Even the films she starred in or directed, mostly disappeared without a trace after participating in the premiere.
If it's just directing, I can barely tell if I don't attend publicity in other places, but as a starring, I'm a big name if I don't participate. But no one said anything about Angela because of this, of course, because the girl did a good job—she did not participate at all, and she would reach an agreement with the producer in advance to get an understanding—the main reason was that Angela herself was a Huge propaganda machine, think about it, who would make a movie like her and cause controversy in the United States and even Europe
Although Angela began to "oppress" the employees of the studio even more terribly after returning from London, so that Thanksgiving was spent with her grandparents in New York, some things still had to be responded to.
"If necessary, we can provide the TV station with all the footage of Emma participating in the audition," Angela said coldly as she walked outside the school, "I watched her grow up, yes, but these do not prevent I recommend her to Director Columbus and Joe, don't I? Some people just like to speculate, as if everyone else is doing it with a shady secret, I have nothing to say to these people, but I'm glad they're not Working in the national security sector."
After she finished speaking, she ignored the shouting of the reporters and the click of the shutter, and got into the car under the escort of the bodyguard, and then waved her hand in disgust to signal Buckett to drive out of here quickly.
"It's rare, this is the first time I've seen you look so disgusted with reporters." Mavis said after looking at the reporter who was thrown away through the rearview mirror.
"If it's just telling me right or wrong, it doesn't matter. But such a malicious guess for a child, do they think they are really the uncrowned king?" Angela said angrily.
Although she knew that Xia Xia would have to be turned upside down by reporters after she became famous, and her relationship with her would inevitably be exposed to the public, Angela really didn't expect these guys in "The Sun" to take this relationship to the extreme. Propaganda, saying that the audition is actually a scam, the three protagonists have been pre-determined, and Pixar is simply for hype!
"Probably with the passage of time, people have forgotten the original "Los Angeles Evening News" incident, so I don't mind letting them remember it again." Angela pinched her fingers through gritted teeth.
Although my father and grandfather helped me to get this result back then, but now I am completely different from what I was then. And Angela knew that Ed must be ready to counterattack at this time. If this statement is accepted by most people, it will have a very bad impact on Pixar, so she plans to make the counterattack more violent. So after disappearing, Angela immediately granted Sparrow full power and asked him to cooperate with Eddard. Although doing so in her current capacity was a bit pricey, it was worth it for Xia Xia.
Thinking of this, an unspeakable feeling suddenly flooded Angela's heart. In fact, the little guy's mentality is not bad.
"It was really annoying at first, but I'm relieved when I think about it. I did join the crew because of your recommendation, didn't I? But I participated in every audition with the same seriousness, didn't I?" Xia Xia was in Angela After the call, he said this, and his tone was steady without the slightest anxiety or unhappiness, just like a little adult.
Another kid was about to grow up, Angela held her cheeks a little disappointedly, thinking of another Emma in her uncle's house, she couldn't help shrugging her shoulders with a smile. Don't look at the fact that the two guys are only one year apart, if Lulu encountered this kind of thing, she would have gone into her aunt or her own arms.
"It's finally time to rest, you don't know how busy I am during this time," Angela said chatteringly after returning to the villa in Boston, after taking a sip of the soda brought by Annie, "It's just the soundtrack. Editing is busy enough, and overseeing the dubbing and film copy over there in Los Angeles is choking.”
For these almost calloused words, Annie just chuckled twice, while Lily still sneered unceremoniously: "I thought you should like this, don't you do it every year? Miss Workaholic."
Angela pouted, and then sighed: "To be honest, Lily, I should have caught you and continued to be a personal assistant. Amy Brown, who is the assistant this time, although his ability to work is not bad, but Sometimes I don't know what I need at all! It even takes me a long time to remind me to understand... Hell, I don't know how to reprimand if I want to reprimand."
"It sounds like you can't live without me." Alizee snorted softly, turned and left the bar and walked towards the back room.
Angela rolled her eyes, shook the cup in her hand, and looked at Annie again: "When I go back to Los Angeles for the premiere of "Brokeback Mountain" next week, will you and Lily go back with me? You can go to my manor Check out the villa."
"Have you finished the decoration?" Annie, who was wiping the glass behind the bar, looked surprised.
"Almost, I saw the photo, it's very beautiful, you will like it, we will move in after graduation next year." Angela nodded with a smile, "Are you ready?"
"Do you want to rehearse in advance, miss?" Annie smiled, spread out her hands and made a curtsy.
"I have to admit, you're the prettiest when you smile, Annie." Angela said, raising her finger and stroking her lips sideways with narrow eyes, "Similarly, if you laugh, it will be very ugly. ."
Annie rolled her eyes at her immediately, turned and left Angela, who was laughing non-stop, and entered the back room.
"This is the measure we prepared at the premiere of "Brokeback Mountain", take a look at it." Mavis came over at this time and handed the document in her hand to Angela.
"Damn it, it should be no different from the previous one, right?" Angela scratched her head depressedly, then raised her palm before Maeves opened her mouth, "I know that various facilities and entrances are different in every place. , I have to understand, but…”
Angela suddenly leaned in front of Mavis' head and frowned: "Maesi, do you still think there will be terrorists kidnapping me until now?"
"That's not something I should consider." Maeves said softly, staring into her eyes.
"Ha, who should that be? Me? Or your boss?" Angela rolled her eyes and was about to continue, but she was suddenly stunned. She found that her head seemed to be... a little too close to Mavis .
