"I heard from Johnny and the others that you were here, but they couldn't find you. I didn't expect to be in this corner." Kayla's angular but very beautiful face appeared in front of her, and she obviously looked for Angela for a long time. , otherwise, how could you show the expression of Yi Xi and Yi Xi, "You are really big, you are late and you are hiding in Tibet..."

Kayla, who was about to tease a few words, suddenly closed her mouth. She shrank her neck slightly and touched her face before carefully asking, "Is there something on my face...?"

"Ah? What? Oh, no, what is it!" Angela finally came to her senses, and after quickly turning her head away and pinching the bridge of her nose, she turned her head back and forced a shy smile: "Hi, Kayla , I just... thought of something else."

Kayla frowned slightly as she stared at An Jilai. The other party's previous gaze made her feel strange, as if she was looking at an item. But seeing her standing there smiling, it was completely different from the impression she had given herself before. The wonderful contrast made Kayla chuckle.

"Frankly speaking, you look a lot better when you smile. This is like a... 17-year-old girl." Angela said changing the subject. Keira was wearing a V-neck halter evening gown with a high neckline, and her smooth, slender back was very attractive, although she had no material on her chest. And she always raised her chin vaguely, although it gave people a arrogant feeling, but she didn't hate it, just like a little princess. Only the puffy smile just now made her feel like the girl next door.

"Why do you say that I didn't look like a 17-year-old girl just now?" After hearing Angela's words, Kayla immediately raised her chin and returned to her previous state, "Everyone is there all the time. Change, why do you have to set a standard for every age group to be like this?"

"Okay, I'm actually just a little emotional... When I first saw you... You and Nat were almost born out of the same mold." Angela suddenly said this, looking at Keira with a strange look.

Kayla didn't notice the other party's change, because her heart suddenly became a little uncomfortable. To be honest, she and Natalie have a good relationship, and they have often exchanged letters since the filming of "The Phantom Menace," but she doesn't like being said to be exactly who they are. Star Wars Prequels

After the first film was released, the children of the surrounding neighbors were blacklisted by her for saying that she was almost a twin with Queen Amirada.

Fortunately, Angela seemed to have woken up from something, and then squeezed out a smile and continued: "However, now you are so different from... Nat, like a princess who came from the other side of the ocean. Frankly Say, I can't wait to see you on the big screen."

"Leave the word princess to yourself, Angie," Kayla's mood suddenly improved, and her cadenced British accent became more rhythmic, "I don't think anyone can use this word to describe themselves in front of you. ."

"So, I should have played Queen Amidala at the beginning?" Angela, who had already adjusted her mood, said jokingly, and Kayla then curled her lips: "In this case, Mr. Lucas and the others will have to find another Someone else plays the queen's stand-in, and then we won't know each other, and I won't stand in front of you now."

Speaking of this, a picture suddenly burst into my mind, after being stunned for a few seconds, there was a blush on Kayla's face unconsciously, and Angela waved her hand with a smile at this time: "That's not necessarily, it's fate. This stuff is amazing."

Kayla was startled again, and the premiere just started when she had to say something.

This version of "Pirates of the Caribbean" is also quite attractive, whether it's the pirate attack at the beginning, or the pure beauty shown by Kayla when she suddenly wakes up from her dream, and the depression and helplessness when wearing a corset, or Orlando comes The embarrassment when arriving at the Governor's Mansion, and the unspoken admiration when she saw Kayla, caught the audience's attention after the opening.

And when everyone thought this was another cliché love story between a poor boy and a noble daughter, another protagonist or first protagonist Jack Sparrow appeared. He stood solemnly on the mast of the sailboat, looking up at the surroundings in high spirits as if nothing was difficult for him, and the camera gave him a 360° rotation shot.

Then as he entered the port, the camera moved down, when the sinking ship with only the mast on the water appeared in the picture, and Jack Sparrow still stepped onto the pier with an indifferent look, and smiled and gag with the administrator. After a while, the whole theater burst into laughter.

"What do you think of your image, Jack?" Even Angela couldn't help joking with his agent, but Sparrow just shrugged and didn't say anything.

Next, the hilarious and cursing look of the sissy Captain Sparrow made the whole theater laugh, especially the way Will Turner and Will Turner hijacked the Interceptor in order to save Elizabeth, making everyone laugh Can't help but admire. Depp perfectly interprets Jack Sparrow's crazy and uninhibited image. Although Orlando has a good grasp of Will Turner's upright and outdated qualities, he is still a bit young. Even if it forms a strong contrast with Depp, it plays more of a role in bringing out the charm of Captain Sparrow.

Not to mention the characters, the director handled those small details quite well. For example, when Turner asked Sparrow how to find Elizabeth, the guy smiled and didn't answer. He took out the compass and looked at it and waved his hands. Turner had to ask the mate: What's the use of such a malfunctioning compass that can't point north? Although the first officer did not give him a clear answer, the camera gave a close-up of the compass, and the curiosity of the audience was immediately raised.

Another example is when Barbossa was having dinner with Elizabeth, and when the moonlight came in to reveal her original shape, Elizabeth was frightened and ran everywhere. When Barbossa approached, she grabbed a small statue similar to an octopus on the table and threw it at him. past. And Barbossa, who turned into a skeleton, walked away calmly, picked it up and said leisurely: "You shouldn't do this, Miss Turner, this is someone's most important thing, if you throw it away, you will be in big trouble. already."

There are many such foreshadowings, and in the eyes of the audience, these are innocuous. Only Angela or Bruckheimer will know how much such a foreshadowing will cause in the next two films. Just look at those crazy Matrix fans,

The second part was only released a few days ago, and the details of it were studied over and over again.

It's a pity that although "Pirates of the Caribbean" is excellent in both the storyline and the performances of the actors and actresses, and its first weekend box office reached 40 million US dollars - even if it is lower than the 90 million US dollars of "The Matrix 2", but the other party is expected after all. A sequel for a long time - it can only be a very good commercial film, it is impossible to become a popular and popular classic.

In fact, the reviews after the premiere confirmed this. Everyone is praising the film's story for being interesting, imaginative, and for having a good grasp of all the details of the time, as for other aspects... It can be summed up in one sentence: "It's a good story, it's a movie Movies for summer fun."

That's all.

Well, anyway, it was just a commercial movie from the beginning, and for Disney, which invested in it, and Pixar, who invested in it and produced it, it was good as long as it made money. And it is definitely not a problem to see this momentum of box office sales. The Pixar film department has already begun to discuss whether to follow the example of "The Matrix" and shoot the latter two in one go. Anyway, because of Angela's relationship,

The set after the first filming is still preserved.

"Disney must be very jealous. If they had participated in the production or even bought the script, the benefits would have been much greater than now." Looking at the newspaper about the Disneyland game called Pirates of the Caribbean because of the movie The extremely hot news, Angela couldn't help chuckling.

"As Disney's CEO, Michael Eisner is very business savvy, and immediately after the movie premiered, he put up a promotional poster next to the Pirate game and a 1-to-1 character card. He was even looking for someone to play it in public... umm ... Captain Jack Sparrow, thus attracting a lot of tourists." Sparrow said after a dry cough.

"Why, is there anything you're not used to being a celebrity?" Angela couldn't help showing a sly smile.

When Sparrow and Angela appeared together in the public a few days ago, a reporter asked if Captain Sparrow in "Pirates of the Caribbean" was based on him, so the girl asked jokingly now.

Seeing that the other party remained silent like a reporter, Angela couldn't bear it and continued to tease: "If you want, you might as well play a few roles in the movie, maybe you will become a big star in an instant."

"I don't have time to think about this now, Angie," Sparrow, who couldn't hold it, had to change the subject, "I wonder if Disney will do something about it, you know the last few years..."

"The patent for "Pirates of the Caribbean" is in our hands, isn't it?" Angela asked interrupted.

"Yes." Sparrow nodded immediately.

"That's it, I think Michael will have a bottom line no matter how greedy he is." Angela said lightly, and the image of the Disney CEO ten years ago appeared in her heart, when he was ambitious and wanted to do something. career, and now with success it has become more and more insatiable.

When a person has been in power for too long, will his true face really be slowly revealed? The girl pinched the bridge of her nose to relax herself. For some reason, when she thought of certain words, another face appeared in her heart, the face that appeared at the premiere of "Pirates of the Caribbean".

Just at this moment, the phone rang, and Angela laughed at herself and hurriedly picked it up and pressed the answer button, and Alizee's calm voice rang: "How long will it take you? will come?"

"Don't worry, Lily," Angela looked out of the car window. "It rained heavily on the way here, so it was a little delayed. There are about five minutes left, so be patient."

"You should say that to Mr. Peter, not to me." She hung up the phone.

Angela shook her head with a wry smile, and couldn't help rolling her eyes when she remembered Peter Jackson. She's now on her way to Northumberland, a county in northeast England that borders Scotland, where the reshoots of "The Lord of the Rings" were filmed. Originally, Angela would not come to the UK to take part in the reshoots until next month, but she didn't want to stay in the United States for too long now, so she got in touch with Peter and adjusted the arrangement ahead of schedule.

Although Peter was very happy that she was willing to report to the crew ahead of time, he still had to nag and nag about some issues--apparently because she was afraid of her leaving every three days and two days last time--like being a little late now, and even if Angela had already asked her assistant to come to the crew first, and she still couldn't help urging.

"I think you're like an obsessive-compulsive patient sometimes, Peter, always dissatisfied with other people's behavior." Angela said half-jokingly and half-seriously after reaching the destination and giving Peter a light hug.

"That's because of you, Angie, you made me like this!" Peter immediately retorted.

"Don't try to push all the problems on me, Peter." Angela's eyes jumped involuntarily. "Do you want me to give an example? Elijah's? Viggo's? Or Sir McKellen's?"

"Come on, it's nothing at all, which director doesn't have a strong desire to control? You should know better than me, Miss Best Director. Unless your movies are directed by others, only your name is attached." said Here Peter blows his beard in disdain.

Angela couldn't help but startled slightly, and her expression became a little dazed. Fortunately, she controlled her emotions in time, and Peter didn't notice it, and the two came to the set immediately.

I have to say that Peter is very good at selecting locations. Northumberland is surrounded by the North Sea in the east, mountains in the north, mountains, lowlands, forests, moors, and river valleys. There are various terrains. It is really a good place to re-shoot "The Lord of the Rings". .

Angela, who came to the crew, also met many old friends, not to mention Ilya and Vigo, who were the first and second protagonists, and John, who played Gimli as a member of the Fellowship of the Ring, was also present, but McKellen was also present. Jazz left the crew early because the reshoots were over. It's just... What made the girl a little flustered was that Liv was still on the set!

"Cut!" Peter called out loudly, and after letting the photographer replay it a few times behind the monitor, he finally made an OK gesture: "Very good, then prepare for the 445th mirror fight!"

Angela breathed a sigh of relief, and the damn scene finally passed. She wanted to go over and ask if it was because of her own reasons or if Peter wanted to take more shots, but she finally gave up.

As soon as he returned to his chair, a cup of hot drink with just the right temperature was handed over. Angela who took it couldn't help but smiled at Alizie, then raised it in front of her and took a sip.

After closing her eyes and letting the drink reverberate in her mouth, she realized that Alizee was still standing beside her, frowning slightly as she watched that she hadn't left, and couldn't help but ask strangely, "Is there anything else?"

"No, it's nothing, you've seen all the arrangements, just..." Alizee shook her head, glanced aside, and then walked away. Angela looked inexplicably at the place she had glanced at, and suddenly her throat seemed to be blocked by something, and she couldn't cough.

They didn't say a word for the past few days, and even if there was occasional eye contact, they quickly moved away. Angela didn't know what she was thinking or what Liv was thinking, so she could only keep silent. Fortunately, these few days I'm either taking pictures of myself or Liv's. They don't have time to interact with each other, otherwise they might be noticed by someone with a heart.

But now it looks like someone has guessed something. Angela wanted to smile bitterly. With Lily by her side, although she didn't have to worry about the trivial things around her, it was difficult to keep secrets. You know, even Annie didn't know about the various entanglements between her and Liv.

With a wave of her hand to drive these messy thoughts out of her mind, Angela took a deep breath and put down the cup and walked towards Liv.

"Hi, Liv." Angela greeted softly after standing behind the girl.

After turning her head to take a look, Liv turned back: "Hi, Angel."

"Um... how are you doing?" Angela thought about it for a while, and at the same time, the resentful expression Liv said when she said "I want to hate you" at the premiere of "The Lord of the Rings" appeared in her heart.

"The old way..." Liv replied in a light tone.

"The old way?" Angela answered with some doubts.

"You look like this... you're really handsome." Liv turned her head suddenly, her blue eyes flashing with inexplicable light, "No wonder it's so popular."

"You... What are you talking about?" Angela showed a strange look, and she couldn't help but reach out and touch the silicone sticking to her face. Because she could start filming at any time, she still looks like "Legras".

To be honest, this is the first time that a woman who has a close relationship with her has praised herself for being handsome. You must know that they have never…

The girl shuddered and quickly came back to her senses, and Liv's voice immediately entered her ears: "I mean, I want to kiss you and slap you, and then kiss you and slap you again. "

Looking at the other party's serious expression, Angela didn't know what to say for a while, and she couldn't even smile bitterly.

"It's still the same, whenever I think I can face it calmly, when you appear in front of me, my heart will become chaotic." Liv's mouth showed a rare wry smile, "You can't ... can't you give me enough time to clear my mind?"

Angela looked at her blankly, and some words suddenly blurted out: "They broke up with me, and on the day of graduation, they broke up with me at the same time."
