The premiere of "The Lord of the Rings" is also without suspense. The novel has a deep enough foundation and a lot of support. Peter Jackson spent so many years preparing and using his imagination to outline these words into a picture, It's a sure thing to be applauded and well received - as soon as the film ended, there was warm applause in the theater, and almost everyone was full of praise for the film.
Peter, who accepted the congratulations, laughed from ear to ear, and seemed more excited at the subsequent press conference, and even unexpectedly helped Angela to block a few unfriendly questions. However, after the reception, this guy immediately revealed his true identity, and said what Angela swore with pride. After the release of "The Lord of the Rings", not only can "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" be pulled down from the major box office charts, The total box office is also sure to surpass the film based on the children's novel.
Angela scoffed at this, not to mention that "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" has dominated the North American box office chart for four consecutive weeks, and it is normal to be pulled down now. A movie based on a novel for adults wants to compete with a movie based on a novel for children at the box office? I really don't know what Peter's mind is thinking. It's impossible for adults to be suitable for children, but for children it is completely suitable for adults. Of course, I believe Peter still knows this, but he is too excited.
After all, this can be regarded as his long-term wish, and although the dust has not yet settled, it is still very successful from the reaction of the premiere.
Angela agrees, even though her focus is on her role as Legolas—and frankly, even though she's mentally prepared, even having seen it countless times in the mirror while filming, The girl was still stunned when Legolas appeared.
That handsome appearance showed the handsomeness and slenderness of the elf just right, and the masculine and feminine achieved a wonderful balance in the colors displayed in the movie, Angela even touched her cheek with some envy.
She looks like this, let alone what other people should look like. Ilya joked to her directly after the film: "Fortunately, you are only a man on the screen, otherwise you might attract women from all over the world. ."
Of course, he immediately covered his head and wailed and ducked away. Angela took this opportunity to warn those around him who had the same idea with his eyes after withdrawing his hand. It was only after noticing William's indignant and depressing eyes, as well as the hesitant expression on his face that he could not come, the girl showed a sneering expression in her heart.
You can't blame yourself for that, can you? Sooner or later, but after Liv left, she appeared in front of her with so much brilliance. Angela excused herself in her heart. At that time, her mood was extremely bad because of Liv, so she had to ridicule this big peacock who could hide very well. As a result, because she had treated William as a child since she was a child, she didn't shut her mouth for a while and was a little mean. So it didn't take long for His Royal Highness to retreat with a white face.
Although Angela then adjusted her mentality, she knew that William was not at fault - when you see others talking, do you wait until they have finished talking, or join in midway? But she didn't want to apologize to the other party. Angela has never admitted her fault to the prince since she was a child. After thinking about it, she decided to ignore it. Anyway, this situation has not happened once or twice, and I haven't seen William. How long do I have a grudge, and... Now, whenever I see him, I will think of what Liv looked like when she left me.
Liv... The girl sighed in her heart, but she didn't speak to Liv until the end of the premiere.
With the release of "The Lord of the Rings", the next day's newspapers finally did not have any more stories about "Brokeback Mountain". Although the film critics praised and criticized the film, the vast majority of fans who have read it He was applauded and eagerly looking forward to the next two films. At the same time, many die-hard fans who had objected to Angela's "Legras" after watching the stills before also changed their views. Except for those who hated Miss Angel, most of them thought that the image of the girl's elf prince was very photogenic.
Of course, there are also complaints that she might be better off playing the Elf Princess or Elf Queen, but there's no denying that Angela's "Legras" image has been fully endorsed. However, there are also many troubles that follow. For example, Angela is firmly at the top of the list of women who want to date the most in various gay magazines or websites such as "Out of the Closet" amid the screams of the girls.
Even many non-gay 16- and 17-year-old girls, after watching the movie, left messages such as "I love you", "The Lord of the Rings" movie website or Angela's personal website and blog. Languages like "I want to date you" and "Can I try same-sex romance?"
Therefore, the media or the American media has started a new round of debates about homosexuality - although there is no more coverage of "Brokeback Mountain", these debates have not been lost for a moment.
Of course, Angela doesn't care about these things. It doesn't matter if she has reached this point anyway. As long as her secrets are not exposed to the public, it won't affect the plan too much. As for these disputes, Sparrow dealt with it, that was the responsibility of the manager, as long as the girl cooperated with his actions.
Originally, on the second day of the premiere of "The Lord of the Rings", Angela planned to return to New York on the Sky. It's almost Christmas. But she thought about it for another day in London and then went to see Keira Knightley at the risk of being stalked.
"Pirates of the Caribbean" has been postponed to next summer, which is the result of discussions between the heads of Pixar and Disney and Bruckheimer. Although they still have a lot of confidence in the film after watching the sample, but compared with "Harry Potter" and "The Lord of the Rings", it has congenital deficiencies, "Pirates of the Caribbean" is not like these two novels That's backed by a huge fan base. Even if fantasy movies are really popular, competing with Harry Potter and The Lord of the Rings at the box office on Christmas Day... forget it. Besides, it is not a big deal to postpone the summer vacation until next year, and you can also observe the market reaction.
It is a fortunate thing for Angela to be able to attend one less premiere, no matter how beautiful or interesting anything is, once it is dense, it will only make people unappetizing. Besides, the girl had no special feeling for the red carpet. The only thing that caught Angela's attention was, how would Kayla thank him when she found out? She's been in touch with her all the time, and it's clear that Keira wants to know what she'll get with her Hollywood debut.
It's just that Angela knew that the decision to postpone was already after the release of "Harry Potter", otherwise she would definitely have visited Keira's house at that time - of course, it is not too late.
However, to the surprise of the girl, Keira did not have any dissatisfaction or other expressions about the delay of the movie.
"It's just an extension, it's not that it won't be released anymore," said Kayla, who was sorting out her stuff.
A black and white one-piece plaid skirt and dark leggings made her look quite British, and it would be even more beautiful if she wore a beret. It is a pity that the chest is still flat and has no tendency to develop. Although Kayla is not yet 18 years old, it seems that she will not be able to escape the fate of "Princess Taiping" in the future.
"But what if for one reason or another, only DVDs can be released?" Angela asked deliberately after taking back her scrutiny. No matter what Keira's figure will be in the future, it has nothing to do with her. Besides, poor breasts have the charm of poor breasts. .
"Will such a large investment give up on theatrical release and release DVD? Unless Mr. Bruckheimer's head is broken." Keira, who stopped her hand, gave Angela a rude look.
"It's impossible to say, Kayla, God knows what will happen in the next six months?" Angela spread her hands with a bashful smile, completely ignoring Kayla's "are you an idiot" look.
"So, what should I say? Pray to God that Pixar or Disney don't go out of business within half a year?" Kayla raised her eyebrows and sat down in front of Angela, but the other party looked at her with a smile on the back of the chair. Just don't speak.
"Okay, then I'll be flattering—there's never been a movie about Miss Angel that hasn't been released in theaters, not even the controversial Brokeback Mountain. So, I think She wouldn't let that happen anyway, would she?" Kayla said and leaned in front of Angela, the corners of her mouth were slightly raised with a touch of irony and more ridicule, the angular but very soft The face is not attractive.
Therefore, in the next second, Angela, whose eyes were full of narrowness, kissed Keira lightly on the cheek.
"What are you doing!" Keira jumped up suddenly, and looked at Angela strangely after she was several feet away.
"It's just a kiss, don't you need to be so nervous?" Angela spread her hands innocently.
"Just a kiss?" Kayla looked at her annoyed, her chest heaving slightly and seemed unhappy, "Are you really gay, Angie?"
Angela couldn't help but be stunned, Kayla was too fussy, right? He immediately raised his eyebrows and showed a playful expression: "Yes, that's right, I'm a gay. Now that I like you and want to pick you up, how about it?"
Saying that, she leaned in front of Kayla again, raised her chin slightly and looked at him provocatively, and even raised the girl's chin very frivolously with her fingers. Kayla's face turned red and white. She knew what she said just now was a bit too much. She was about to make amends, but she didn't expect Angela to slap a snake on a stick and put on a look of "I'm gay, I just want to fuck you", which made her angry. Unable to bear it any longer, he could only hold on to his teeth and glared angrily.
"Okay, that's it." Angela closed it when she saw it, she just came to see Kayla, and it was time to leave after her goal was achieved.
But just before she got up to leave, she suddenly touched Kayla's lips with lightning speed, then giggled and quickly left the room amid the other's low roar. Although Angela and Keira didn't meet many times, they couldn't help but want to tease her every time. In addition to thinking that Keira and Natalie are so similar, it was mainly because she found that the other party's calm appearance always concealed the arrogance that had never been revealed, so Angela couldn't help but want to find out.
Forget it, this kind of joke should be less open in the future. Angela thought so after glancing at Mavis who was beside her. After saying goodbye to the Knightleys before, as soon as I got in the car, I was greeted by the female detective's somewhat playful smile, but fortunately she didn't stab a word or two.
After shaking her head to stop thinking about it, Angela patted the driver's seat: "Buckett, go to the airport."
The reason why I stayed an extra day is to come and see Kayla. Since it's all right, it's time to go back to New York. As for whether the little blacksmith will have any idea about the delayed release... Who cares.
Another Christmas is coming. Unfortunately, in 2001, which should be a family reunion day for Westerners, many families have lost their loved ones. Countless candles were lit on Christmas Eve on the ruins of the World Trade Center. The glowing candles were filled with people's mourning. Even if there was heavy snow that day, it would be difficult to cover up.
Even so, beyond this sad place, people hurried down the streets with smiles, shopping for festive items. The ubiquitous Santa Claus is also sending gifts everywhere, and life goes on.
"Let's go, Nat, if we stay any longer, we will be recognized." Pulling on the corner of Natalie's shirt, Angela whispered.
"Let's go." After taking her eyes back from the ruins, Natalie took a long breath and nodded.
"So, where to go next? Skating in Central Park?" Angela tried to keep her tone light.
"Go skating in Central Park? Frankly speaking, Angie, you don't have to use this method to please us, right?" Scarlett stuck her head out from the other side and looked at Angela with teasing eyes. Although the purple woolen hat made her look pretty and cute, the thick down jacket made her look bloated.
In fact, no matter if Angela or Natalie wears the same amount of clothes, any fashion or beauty is now lost without a trace. It's not unrelated to the colder weather than before, but it's more about preventing recognition.
"Am I to please you?" Angela glared at her with a raised eyebrow. She wanted to say something, but after sneaking a glance at Natalie, she coughed softly: "Although my skating skills have never been very good, But at least I can give everyone a sense of presence, right, Manny?"
Speaking of which, the girl showed a little pride. Although Scarlett played the eldest daughter of Ennis in "Brokeback Mountain", she was completely ignored by film critics. You must know that she released the independent film "Ghost World" in the summer vacation. "The performance has won a lot of praise.
"Yeah, the deep sense of presence impresses everyone who skates." Scarlet made a face, not paying attention to what Angela said, and she pretended to rub her chin and suddenly smiled. He clapped his hands: "By the way, you have to buy a few ice packs first, so that you won't be in a hurry."
Angela's mouth twitched, if it wasn't on the street, she would definitely punish Scarlett.
"What do you think, Nat?" the girl asked, turning her head to Natalie at this time, and her tone was much gentler.
"Forget it, it's better to go shopping on Seventh Avenue. After all, there are many people following you." Natalie said with a smile, brushing her hair from her ears. Angela, as always, couldn't tell from this smile. what.
"That's right, then let's go." The girl sighed softly and took the lead in the direction of Seventh Avenue. Scarlett then caught up and secretly gave her a consoling look, Angela smiled back and said nothing.
This Christmas is no different from usual. The younger brothers and sisters are still polite in front of others and naughty in the back, and the family is equally happy, that is, father and grandfather are less tit-for-tat. In addition, when the godfather came to be a guest, he specially made a toast for Angela.
It was a little troublesome when I just wanted to go out for a walk. Mavis and Warren both went home for the holidays - they and Angela are not in an employment relationship, and they have provided protection for more than half a year, they must let people rest - the girl's side Only the bodyguards remained. If you go out in a crowd, you will be surrounded by crowds if you don't walk half a mile.
Angela didn't want to be surrounded on the street or stay in the house all day, so she had to let them follow from a distance. It wasn't that she wanted to be wayward, but Natalie agreed to her invitation on the phone.
As long as Angela was in New York for the holidays, she would hang out with Natalie and take turns staying at each other's houses. So under the current circumstances, it is undoubtedly positive for the girl that Natalie will agree to the invitation. However, in order to prevent an embarrassing situation, Angela also pulled Scarlett up.
"When I was a child, I lived in the UK a lot. In summer, I like to look up at the night sky in the Scottish Highlands. Facing the splendid stars, I have no idea in my head. Unfortunately, the city lights are not so pure now. The starry sky." Angela said as she walked, the street was intertwined with light and darkness under the street lamps.
"There are two things in the world that can shock people's hearts, inner morality and the starry sky above their heads." Natalie said softly, walking side by side, as a response to Angela, but she kicked the small stones on the street as she walked.
"Yeah, Kant's words are worth thinking about at any time." Angela shrugged, although she felt that Natalie seemed to be referring to something else, but at this moment she didn't want to think too much.
"It's already at your house." After stopping, Angela looked at the small villa.
"Yeah, then... good night." Natalie nodded, without any intention of leaving her, "I'm very happy today, with you and Manny."
After walking two steps, Natalie suddenly turned back, her brown eyes shining in the half-darkness: "By the way, Happy New Year."
"Happy New Year." Angela smiled without avoiding the other's gaze, and then Natalie suddenly leaned over and put her toes on her lips and kissed her gently, then turned around and strode home.
Angela was stunned for a while, until Natalie disappeared at the door before she reacted: Did she kiss me on the street in front of her house? !
