"… Under the influence of that person, Gardner resigned and changed careers. But he had just been hired by a securities company, and before he went to work, the person who hired him was fired, so the new job was lost. When he continued to apply for a new job, he and his wife The quarrel alerted the police to come to the door to mediate, and was chased by the police for more than 1,000 US dollars in illegal parking fines, and then sentenced to several days in prison for being unable to repay the money. But the nightmare did not end there. After he was released from prison, he found that his wife and son had disappeared. , he became nothing. When his wife showed up again a few months later, it was not that she wanted to rehabilitate but that she did not want to take her son." Angela said slowly while recalling.
"This guy is really miserable." Will frowned and supported his chin, listening carefully, obviously attracted.
"That's not enough, the boarding house he used to live in after his son returned to his side was no longer available. Chris and his son were forced to live on the streets. Cheap hotels, parks, train station toilets, office desks, etc., have become The place where the two fathers and sons live..." Angela continued, although it took a little longer, but if you recall it carefully, you can still remember most of it.
"… After he became a stockbroker, his career was smooth sailing. In 1987 or 1988, he opened a brokerage firm in Chicago and became the owner. No matter how bad the environment was, Chris always insisted, he often said to himself: If you have a dream, you must Guard it; if you have a goal, go all out." Angela paused for a long time, then looked at Will next to him: "Don't you think this spirit is very worthwhile for people to learn, Will? "
After rubbing his chin for a while, Will raised his hands: "I admit, your story touched me, but... You said, you want to wait until Jaden is a few years older and play with me?"
"Yes," Angela nodded, "Chris plans to publish an autobiography first—of course, the film adaptation rights have been verbally promised to me. When his autobiography is published, Jaden should also talk to his then son. It’s almost the same age, you two will definitely attract a lot of attention when you play together as a father and son, after all…”
"I promise." Will said suddenly.
"Um... what?" Angela couldn't react for a while.
"I said I agreed," Will leaning on the table folded his arms and raised his eyebrows, and his distinctive pair of ears moved, looking quite interesting, "Everyone knows angels Miss has a very keen eye. I have no reason to refuse."
"Then it's settled." The girl pursed her lips and nodded with a smile.
Very good, another one, this method is really convenient and fast, but there is a time limit... But before that, I have already completed the plan. Angela shrugged and returned to her place when the director started greeting.
After two or three more shots, Angela's role was over. After saying goodbye to Will and the crew of "Black Super SWAT", Angela walked out of the studio accompanied by bodyguards. Look it's not even 4 o'clock. Because I want to make a cameo appearance in "Crash" to be filmed today, it's all night shots, so I just went home and rested for a few hours to appease Willie and Ike. These two guys have been begging or threatening for three days since they heard that she was going to move out, trying to get her to dispel the idea in various ways. Needless to say, Lulu must have also contributed to the flames behind.
These little devils... Although Angela muttered in a low voice complaining, a smile appeared on her face involuntarily. After a few seconds, the smile disappeared, replaced by a long sigh with nostalgia and reluctance to let go.
Perhaps because of her previous life, Angela's attachment to her family was stronger than anyone else's, so those who still stayed with her parents were reluctant to leave. Although there are many people in the United States who still live with their parents in their 30s and 40s, most of them stay at home because they cannot or do not want to be independent. Those young people who are determined to break out into their own careers, who didn't move out early and become independent, let alone children born in a family like Angela.
Look at the people around, Jessica, Natalie, Scarlett and the others are temporarily ignored. Avril has rented an apartment and lived alone since she came to the United States as an exchange student. Now even Lindsay is planning to go out independently. Not to mention a girl from the same background as Ivanka or the Hilton sisters.
However, no one can accuse her of anything, as a saying goes: when you are only a little better than others, they will envy you; and when you are too much higher than others to be looked up to, they will just adore you. Maybe half of Miss Angel's net worth is based on luck and the help of her parents, but her talent in movies is unquestionable. Many people who question her end up being ridiculed.
But no matter what, Angela herself always wants to be independent, and she can't live with her parents for the rest of her life, can she? Of course, it is inevitable to sigh and sigh. Since she started to step into the entertainment industry, her parents have not interfered with her decision much, nor have they had any objection to her staying at home. Now it is natural to move out. won't say much. But Angela clearly remembered how obvious the nostalgia in her mother's eyes after she told her mother to move out.
Forget it, anyway, my villa is not far from home, I will leave when I have time, and I will not officially move in until after graduation... By the way, Annie seemed to like the villa very much when she passed by, but it is a pity that Lily always faces I don't know what I'm thinking, expressionless, can I get pregnant if I give a smile? ! Angela tapped her head and interrupted her jumping thoughts, because Alizee was talking to Mavis beside the car not far away.
"Hi, Lily, Mess, what are you talking about." The girl smiled and went forward.
"It's nothing, a little troublesome thing." Mavis, who was talking to Alizee, immediately raised her head.
"A troublesome thing?" Angela blinked in confusion, looking at Alizee and then at Mavis.
"It's not too much trouble, just need to be alert and pay attention." Maeves continued in a relaxed tone.
Before waiting for the girl to ask, Alizee had already handed over the document in her hand to her, and took it in her characteristically maddening indifference: The Oscar nomination list has come out. "
After she finished speaking, she turned around and walked to the other car, completely ignoring how Angela would react. Although Angela with itchy teeth wanted to rush over and bite her a few times, she was immediately attracted by the name of "Brokeback Mountain" on the list. Apparently, conservative groups calling for a film school boycott of "Brokeback Mountain" failed. But Mavis grabbed her arm at this time: "Look while you walk. Otherwise, you might be surrounded by a lot of people in a few minutes."
Thinking that this year's Oscar nomination list should be known to many people at this time, and it is not a secret thing for her to come to make a cameo, Angela nodded immediately and got into the car with Mavis. Of course, she also understood what the female detective meant by the little trouble. I am afraid that many reporters will come to the set for the shooting tonight.
Although Angela was already mentally prepared, she doubled the number of reporters who might come over at night with a wry smile after opening the nomination list. "Brokeback Mountain" received 7 nominations, Best Picture, Best Director, Best Score, Best Adaptation, Best Cinematography, and Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor!
If the first five nominations were to be expected, the last two were a real surprise. While Angela thinks Heath and Gyllen Hill are performing very well and definitely deserve these two nominations, they are too young for those veteran actors. But after thinking about it carefully, the girl was relieved. Thinking that Michelle and Sarah were not nominated for the leading actress and supporting actress, then the nominations for the best actor and the best supporting actor are just the film academy. Compromise or confession of the organization. There are many people who oppose homosexuality, but there are also many people who agree with homosexuality. However, in this case, the probability of Heath and Gyllen Hill winning the award is less than one in ten thousand.
Forget it, given their age, the nomination alone is enough glory, and it doesn't matter if they can't get the golden statuette. Angela shook her head slightly, then focused her thoughts on her own problem. With "Brokeback Mountain", she has three nominations for Best Director, Best Score, Best Adaptation, and one more... Best Supporting Actress nomination!
Yes, The Devil was nominated for two Oscars, Best Actress for Kate and Best Supporting Actress for Angela! This is the second time since 1997 that she has been nominated for four at the same Oscar.
"Frankly speaking, I feel flattered." Angela, who was looking at the nomination list, suddenly said this, and she didn't know whether she was talking to Meiweis beside her or she was talking to herself.
"Why?" Mavis took over her words, with a hint of curiosity flashing in her eyes.
"Um..." Angela scratched her head, and suddenly pretended to smile and changed the subject: "By the way, Mei Si, did I say that you will look prettier when you come back..."
"Even this time, I've said it eighteen times. I said, can't you change the subject?" Mavis raised her arms slightly over her head and looked at Angela with a half-smile, she had to admit that her hair It is indeed much prettier to stay on the shoulders.
"Okay, Mess, it's not a big deal. I just sighed that I was nominated for Best Supporting Actress again." Angela raised her hands and added: "By the way, you are really much prettier than before. ."
Mavis waved her hand with a laugh, she was about to say something, but after thinking for a few seconds, she finally just shrugged. However, Angela could guess Mavis' question, after all, the curiosity on her face was so obvious.
"The Devil" is what she has been doing in the past few years
The first acting feature—although "The Lord of the Rings" was filmed before the release date came after "The Devil"—was nominated for Best Supporting Actress. Even if the film critics unanimously approve of Angela's acting skills, it is still surprising to be nominated for Best Supporting Actress after a few years without an actor's work and suddenly launch a work.
Yes, she always works miracles, so you can take it easy after the surprise. So how did you stay this way when you didn't act in a few years, Miss Angela? Oh, because I've been acting all the time for more than 20 years, and I've experienced it when I'm acting... Come on, even people around me can't help but make some associations when they hear it, not to mention those gossip reporters. However, did Mess see anything in the end
After returning home to rest for a few hours, during which time I did sports, practiced musical instruments, and by the way, I was well groomed for the next two little guys who came home from school; Angela rushed to the set before night fell.
What I'm going to shoot tonight is both the beginning and the end of the movie, that is, the young white policeman who seems to be disgusted with racism kills a black hitchhiker by mistake, and then gets discovered by other policemen.
"Don, your tone and expression can be a little more dazed, yes, it's like you've become a little neurotic after a crash. Of course, after getting out of the car and breathing in the cold air, it's like returning to normal until you walk over and say The last two sentences and then I saw the body of my brother, understand?" Angela carefully explained the play for the black actor Don Cheadle in front of her.
After the other party nodded to show her understanding, she said a few words to the other actors and then called the assistant director: "Stanley, let everyone prepare. Let's do the scene just now."
After a pause, she went to the distance again, and there seemed to be a lot of people standing there. After twitching the corners of her mouth, Angela spoke again: "By the way, Stanley, by the way, let those reporters stay farther away. If there is another flash that destroys the shooting scene, I don't mind suing them."
As Mavis had expected, the smelly reporters followed her before she even got to the set, and at least dozens of photos were taken in the short minutes from getting off the car to entering the set. Although they were all blocked from the set, from shooting with a hyperfocal lens to sneaking in, these guys had all kinds of methods and it was really hard to prevent.
At first Angela chose to ignore them. Until a rash guy clicked the shutter at a critical moment, the flash suddenly made the original shot completely invalid. The furious Angela of course made people drive these annoying guys away, and now even threatens to sue them if this happens again.
In fact, if you think about it carefully, it is understandable that the reporters will be so uncompromising. This is Angela's record-breaking fourth consecutive Best Director nomination, and the fourth consecutive Best Film nomination for a Pixar film. At the same time, she was nominated for Best Adapted Screenplay for the third time in a row, and she was nominated for Best Supporting Actress when she played a role again after a few years of silence. Not to mention being nominated for Best Voice for the third time, the film's leading actor is also nominated for Best Actor for the fourth time.
In addition to the particularities of "Brokeback Mountain" and "The Devil" - Angela is very clear that she can be nominated for Best Supporting Actress, although her acting skills account for the majority, and the character's homosexuality also adds a lot of points - Therefore, even if she was irritated and asked her to scold her a few words, there would be a lot of content the next day.
Of course Angela knows this, so things like chasing people out are left to others to do. Even so, journalists can still make up news, after all, that's what they eat.
"It seems that Miss Angela's new film is moving closer to the suspenseful aspect. Last night, a new set of scenes she filmed in the suburbs seemed to be about a murder case. She didn't look very happy at the time, not only berating the actors and the crew. The staff, and the reporters were thrown away several times. I think it may be because even though I was nominated for the best director for three consecutive years, I didn't get the golden man I deserved. I don't know if I can get it this year. wish..."
The girl sighed and threw the newspaper aside. Then he continued to tap on the keyboard: "To be honest, I was a little surprised when I got the nomination list. Not for being nominated again for Best Director or Best Adaptation and Best Score—I don't think so. I didn't have that qualification—but because of Best Supporting Actress. What could be more pleasing than being in a role again a few years later, and then being recognized by everyone..."
After typing here, Angela suddenly stopped and watched the two fingers of her right hand on the computer screen pressing back and forth over the keyboard. After a while, she continued to type again. It is also necessary to show proper pride. Modesty is a virtue, but excessive modesty will only make people look down on it. Everything must pave the way for one's own plan.
It's just... My life seems to be occupied by my own tricks? For a few seconds, such a thought crossed Angela's mind. But soon she was thrown into the corner and continued to type.
At this time, there was a knock on the door, and before Angela could say please come in, the visitor had already pushed in. The girl in front of the computer couldn't help rolling her eyes, only one person could break in so unscrupulously.
"This is today's itinerary. If there is no problem, I will get a copy for Mess." Alizee handed the document to her and said in her characteristic indifferent tone.
"Thank you." Angela took it in angrily. Although Shi Fang went in and out so recklessly every time, she never did this when she was in a bad mood, making the girl who always wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to make trouble. Can't hold the handle.
After taking a brief glance at the schedule, Angela nodded with satisfaction, and after turning Alizee's eyes a few times, the girl slammed her arms around the other's waist without warning, and then buried her head in Lily's belly. There was a burst of grief in Li: "God, if you are no longer my assistant, what should I do!"
It's a pity that she complained for a long time and didn't see Alizie's reply, so she couldn't help raising her head, and then looked at Lily.
"Is there anything else, Angela-Miss?" The other party's tea-brown eyes were calm, and he was dazed that he had stopped taking this set-to be exact, he had never eaten hers.
"Okay, it's alright, get a copy for Mess." Angela let go of her hand depressed, and then asked again, "Where is Mess now?"
"I think she should be chatting with Madam." Alize walked out without looking back, and turned around again when she reached the door: "By the way, go see Annie if you have time. I listen to Willie and Ai K said they were going to kidnap Annie to force you to stay at home."
These two little devils. Angela couldn't help rolling her eyes.
"Okay, I know," before the words were finished, the door slammed. The girl was stunned for a while, and then she clenched her fists angrily: Dead ice cubes, sooner or later, I will show you a good look!
