After entering March, the temperature in Los Angeles gradually warmed up, and people began to reduce the clothes on their bodies. In the bright sunshine, many women who love beauty even put on clothes that can show their curves and walked on the streets, hoping that they would be caught by someone The scout discovered and then stepped into the entertainment industry and became popular overnight.
In the same way, Hollywood stars, big and small, have also increased the number of going out with the same thought, so the ubiquitous entertainment reporters will also be haunting at this time, looking for them on the streets with their well-trained eyes. the figure, and then press the shutter to take a picture to facilitate reading the picture and writing the story.
However, for many writers, a lazy feeling of not being able to lift up the spirit began to fill the body after entering March of this year. This does have something to do with the fact that the temperature in March 2002 was higher than before, but the main thing is that the new movie of Miss Genius and Miss Angel has been closed!
You must know that since Angela started shooting a new movie in Los Angeles, the sales of all newspapers have risen slightly, even if you take a few pictures from a distance and write something casually, people will read it. Especially after all kinds of news came out - such as not getting a Grammy nomination for the first time, or the conservative group calling for an Oscar boycott of "Brokeback Mountain", Angela once again won four nominations in this year's single, and some of the more nympho. Women want Oscar nominations for Angela for Best Supporting Actor and more. Newspaper sales would go up by several percent, and it would be even better if there were some more hilarious photos.
A reporter once took a picture of a young man burning a car on the set at night, and then wrote the content of the movie in the next day's report, and the newspaper sales increased by 10% that day! Anyway, during this period of time, as long as the news and Angela have a little contact with them, they will attract attention. Even financial magazines such as "Forbes" and "Fortune" in February have also increased a lot of sales. So how can journalists not be disappointed when the new film is closed
However, for Angela, the filming that was supposed to end at the end of February was delayed until the beginning of March, which is already a very bad thing, but not the worst.
"I should thank Matt Dillon for that guy, as if he was suddenly bent over by Brando, and several shots were taken at once. Otherwise, I'm afraid I would have to stop shooting, rush over to class and then rush back." Angela, who was walking, said this to Natalie beside her after pulling the scarf around her neck.
"Shut up, Angie, you've said this more than a dozen times." Natalie interrupted angrily.
"But I'm really grateful to him. Running back and forth is not only troublesome but also tiring." Angela shrugged.
"If you don't have to release a director's work every year, and you have to act and sing at the same time, you won't be troubled by these problems at all." Natalie rolled her eyes at her, frowned slightly after thinking for a few seconds. Then he asked again: "To be honest, Angie, what exactly are you doing this for?"
"Why?" Angela raised her eyebrows.
"Directing, acting, singing, going to school, all of them are not spared. I sometimes really worry about whether you will faint on the street because of overwork one day." Natalie said angrily, "You are now You are a talented young lady and an angel lady, you have unparalleled fame and wealth, but why do you want to be like this... as if you are urgently trying to grab something."
Angela suddenly stopped, watching Natalie's emerald green eyes suddenly become unusually deep, but then she laughed again: "Don't worry, I have always arranged it reasonably, except that the time is a little tight. It's nothing else, do you think I'm someone who may faint on the ground at any time?"
"Yeah, it's just that time is a little tight," Natalie couldn't help but snorted softly, "so tight that I don't have time to do anything other than work."
"Okay, don't you have time after graduation this year?" Angela said with a smile, and continued to walk forward.
"Don't change the subject, go back to just now." Natalie followed, "I don't understand why this is."
"Didn't you also go to school while filming?" Angela was still talking to him.
"Do you think the two of us are comparable?" Natalie raised her eyebrows and shouted in a serious tone, "Angie!"
Angela rolled her eyes and was about to say something, when she suddenly showed a narrow smile: "Anyway, you're good at psychology, why don't you try analysis and analysis, Nat?"
"You want me to analyze your mental activity?" Natalie squinted her eyes, and a sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth. She stopped and pinched her chin, looked Angela up and down and thought for a few seconds before speaking again: "My opinion is that you are very arrogant and narcissistic, you like to maintain as long as you think about it. Being in the spotlight is the state of the situation, so you want to get more attention all the time. It’s very possessive and never fills it up.”
Angela's face darkened immediately, she stared at Natalie in dissatisfaction, and the other party shrugged her shoulders needlessly with an innocent expression: "You asked me to analyze you."
The girl opened her mouth to say something, but in the end she didn't say a word, and her face was full of complicated expressions that didn't taste good. Fortunately this time. A timid voice with excitement rang from the side, interrupting the strange and awkward atmosphere: "Can I disturb you, Angela?"
"You are..." Angela looked suspiciously at the speaker, a young girl of 17 or 8 years old, wearing a thick fleece jacket, her long hair was thrown back and forth behind her head in a ponytail. The freckles make her look cute.
She stood in front of the girl with a shy smile, holding a few mini posters in her hand, looking at Angela's brown eyes full of expectations, and stammered and asked: "I can... I can... please... "
"Sorry, I think you should know that I don't usually sign in school." Angela said in a sincere tone.
"But... but..." The girl was disappointed and looked at the other side of the path involuntarily.
Angela followed her line of sight, and a group of girls were looking at this side with some schadenfreude and laughing. The girl immediately understood, raised her eyebrows and looked at the embarrassed girl in front of her again: "I think you just need an autograph, and there is no rule on how long it will take to get the autograph, right?"
"Yes!" The girl's eyes lit up.
"Then you can find an envelope or something to put these posters up and give them to the dormitory manager of my building. I'll let her pay attention. What's your name?"
"Lina, Lina Gandy." The girl replied excitedly.
"That's it, Lina, I'll put the signed poster in the administrator's place, you can come and get it later or tomorrow." Angela said with a gesture.
"Thank you, Angela, you are so kind." Lina took her hand and said gratefully. There are countless little stars flashing in his eyes, no different from those enthusiastic Fans. If it wasn't for Angela's dry cough, she didn't know when she was going to pull it.
"Sorry, then I'll..." Lina let go of her hand embarrassedly and was about to turn and leave, but the group of girls on the other side of the road suddenly made a noise, and the girl had to stop and look at Angela again shyly : "Can I... Can I make one more small request, Angela?"
Angela wanted to say no, but she felt a little soft-hearted when she saw her long-term Ai Ai: "Okay. Just don't go too far."
"Really?" Lina raised her head sharply, her face full of surprise. Angela suppressed her impatience and nodded while smiling. What she didn't expect was that the other party immediately surrounded her neck with lightning speed, and then kissed her lips heavily with a squeak.
The girl suddenly opened her eyes wide, and followed the girls on the other side of the road, shouting loudly and loudly. Without waiting for Angela to recover, Lina, who had kissed her forcibly, covered her face and ran away quickly.
"This... how..." The dizzy Angela couldn't utter a complete sentence for a long time. When she finally woke up, Lina and the girls had already disappeared without a trace.
"Nat... this... I..." Angela looked at Natalie strangely, as if trying to explain something.
"Go back to the dormitory first, unless you want to be watched by everyone here." Natalie pinched the bridge of her nose, looking like she was shocked just now. The girl glanced around. Although there were not many people, they could see the situation just now. They were all whispering something, and looked here from time to time, and even faintly heard a few chuckles.
Angela gritted her teeth angrily, and had to drag Natalie towards the dormitory.
"I can't believe it, I kindly tried to solve the trouble for her, but she actually treated me like this!" Angela started talking angrily as soon as she got back to the dormitory, "No, the so-called autograph is just a cover, she just I want to get close to me, and then... In short, this is premeditated!"
Speaking of this, she suddenly became puzzled: "Why did that Lina do this? What good would it do to her? Could it be... Someone nearby is holding a camera and wants to take a picture and take this opportunity to sell it to reporters? Or they have already... "
"Okay, Angie," Natalie raised her head sullenly, who had been collecting things, "if you spend more time at school, you should know that those girls are from the Sappho Society."
"Sappho Society? What is that?" Angela asked strangely, and Natalie's answer was a big roll of eyes. A few seconds later, the girl showed an expression of sudden realization, and her expression became strange again: "When was this club established? Why don't I know?"
"At the end of last year," Natalie shrugged, "I just said, if you've been in school a little longer, you should know this."
After a pause, she showed a half-smiley expression: "By the way, one of the founders of the club is Lina Gandy, who forced you to kiss. She entered Harvard last year and disclosed her lesbian identity early. —Her kissing skills are good, right?"
Not paying attention to the meaning of Natalie's last sentence, Angela replied subconsciously, "It's okay."
"Nice answer." Natalie nodded with a smile, picked up the book on the table and walked out.
Angela, who had regained her senses, hurriedly stood in front of her and smiled awkwardly: "Don't be like this, Nat, you should know that I was just quick-tempered, and... I touched my lips, I didn't let her... "
"I didn't say anything, Angie," Natalie held up a hand calmly. "Don't—be so guilty."
"Then... Then what are you doing?" Her throat twitched slightly, and Angela asked, pointing to the book in her hand.
"Of course I went to the library." Natalie looked like "Is there any problem?"
"Hey, we agreed to stay in the dormitory today, so I've already borrowed the books I'm going to use." Angela opened her eyes immediately. As if to say "how can you do this".
"You have already borrowed those books, but you haven't returned them." Natalie exposed her mercilessly, then spread her hands and shrugged: "I changed my mind."
"Oh, don't do this, Nat, we agreed." Angela showed a sad expression, but Natalie walked to the door unmoved, and the girl couldn't help muttering: "I knew, you still Thinking about what happened just now, but it was an accident, wasn't it? Think about it, you're going to kiss the great Anakin Skywalker in the upcoming Star Wars prequels, that's..."
"I've canceled it." Natalie, who had put one hand on the door handle, suddenly turned around and looked at Angela with her brown eyes without blinking, and an inexplicable expression flashed through it.
"Take... canceled?"
"Yes, I have already exchanged opinions with Lucas, there will be no kissing and passion scenes in the film, and it is written into the contract." Although Natalie's tone was light, it was enough to make Angela stunned .
However, before she could speak again, Nataho shrugged, opened the door and walked out. After a long time, Angela let out a long breath and sat down on the sofa with a wry smile.
Well, no matter what, this time somewhat captured Natalie's mind, but... Angela covered her face, and familiar faces kept flashing in her mind. After a while, she shook her head slightly. For the time being... Don't think about it too much, in a few months... It will be resolved properly, I... firmly believe!
When she was alone in the dormitory, she was most efficient. After completing the papers assigned in the previous class, Angela collected the things, then tidied up Natalie's bedroom, and pressed the note to prepare for her. Under the water glass, he left the bedroom after bolding the words "Don't go to bed too late".
"I know that everyone is working hard and maybe a little unhappy. They always have to run around with me. But I promise, this is the last time. As long as you graduate successfully this year, it will be impossible for you to come to Boston to work in the future, so I promise. Please cheer up and finish this work well." Facing the people who followed him to the studio in Boston after closing the lens, Angela said in an encouraging tone.
It's just that people don't seem to buy it very much. One of the editors asked loudly: "Is it still the same as before, starting in the afternoon and then in the evening, do you have to work overtime from time to time?"
Another staff member immediately replied: "Why, do you think there will be exceptions?"
The laughter suddenly rang out, and Angela frowned while holding her arms: "It seems that I should adjust my attitude towards you, otherwise..."
Before the words were finished, the room was already booing, and the girl had to raise her hand with a smile. "Okay, folks, get down to business. If I can, I'd like to finish post-production by early May at the latest, because that's when I'm going to be in — shooting the latest Star Wars prequel."
"Wow, really, Angela? What role?!" The last staff member wearing glasses called out immediately. Angela knew this twenty-seven or eight-year-old youth who had worked with him many times. It was a standard Star Wars fan, when Natalie came to the studio before, he was pestering him to ask for a lot of autographs.
"Don't ask too much, gentlemen, what are the characters and what are the contents, you will see when the movie is released." Angela raised her finger and shook it, "Now you just need to know that I have a film contract at that time. . But I don't want this news to get out of here, otherwise I'd be rude—hey, I mean it!"
After the other party put away the smile and raised her hands, the girl withdrew her gaze and continued: "Of course, it doesn't have to be completed before then. Anyway, the quality of the movie is the most important thing if it is not in a hurry."
Speaking of this, she suddenly smiled slyly: "However, if it can be completed ahead of time, I don't mind giving out an extra bonus."
There was a commotion in the room, "here again", "I knew she would say that" and so on, and Angela immediately coughed heavily: "Okay, are there any other questions?"
"Excuse me, is Alizee still your assistant?" An editor immediately accused Angela's girl and asked.
"Of course, why don't I ask her to come here?" The girl spread her hands, and a relieved voice sounded in the room.
Angela was a little inexplicable, but that didn't prevent her from leaning into Alizee's ear and saying in a teasing tone, "I can't see, you also have a lot of fans."
But in exchange, it was just an indifferent glance from Lily.
"If there are no other questions, let's start now." Although she closed the door, Angela didn't care, and clapped her hands in front of everyone and said loudly.
Following her words, everyone dispersed, and the girl went straight back to the office.
Regarding the role of the female Jedi master in "Star Wars Prequels", the solution is to concentrate her role in the filming in May. Anyway, according to the script, she is in
There are not many scenes in the second part, and one month is enough. However, in view of her "bad deeds" during the filming of "The Lord of the Rings", Angela replied to Lucas in a disturbed mood. Unexpectedly, the other party agreed to this plan after knowing her difficulties, but only asked that during the filming period, unless he was going back to attend the thesis defense, he could not leave the crew.
This ending is naturally a happy ending, that is, Angela has to spend a little time preparing for her graduation thesis.
There was a knock on the door, followed by Mavis, who was wearing a black women's trousers suit: "Angie, I want to talk to you about the protection measures for attending the Oscars."
