Facts have proved that Angela is not worried in vain. A few days later, the "Daily Mirror" entertainment gossip page published such a headline: Miss Angel deliberately traveled far away to make a love movie in London.
"We all know how amazing this girl is. She does things that many people can't do in their lifetimes. She is always creating miracles. Look at the films she directed and produced, each of which is thought-provoking, It's a pity that Oscar's old men never gave her the honor she deserved.
Now that she's coming to or returning to Great Britain - and we shouldn't forget that she's also a British citizen - to make a new, British-inspired romance movie, it's really surprising and unexpected.
According to people familiar with the matter, Angela has said that she wanted to make such a multi-line narrative film that tells the love story of several people at the same time, and everything in England inspires her all the time. It's just that she had to put it on hold for one reason or another. Now that she finally has more time, she naturally put this movie on the agenda. We have every reason to believe that this strong British-style love movie will be her best work! "
I have to admit that these tabloids are still full of energy. Although Angela allows the people around her to properly disclose some news about the new movie, what she wants is to slowly reveal it little by little. Unexpectedly, these paparazzi mobilized people, tried their best to get different clips from different people by various means, and then pieced together such a report.
Angela is very depressed, because although this report is full of a lot of very obvious low-level provocations, it has received a lot of responses from mainstream media. A columnist in The Times once wrote: "I'm very happy with Miss Angel. There's something fascinating about British cinema as well, coming back from Hollywood."
In addition, newspapers such as "The Guardian" or "The Daily Telegraph" have published articles with similar content, and the BBC even opened a special topic to discuss what kind of love movie Miss Angel is shooting.
In fact, it is normal to think about it. Although the United Kingdom and the United States are good enough to wear a pair of trousers in some aspects, the British people still hate Americans very much. The reason is very complicated, at least it goes back to the founding of the United States. In short, this kind of war of words in the media will be fought every three times and five times.
However, Angela, who refused the invitation to visit from various media and instructed her assistant to find someone to prevent reporters from going to the studio to listen for news, did not have any bad mood except depression.
"It's like this anyway, and there is also a scene in the script where the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom became a national hero at a press conference because he was unhappy with the US President's molesting the woman he liked. It's better to hurry up instead of spending time explaining it. It's better when it's over. People only see what they want to see, and it's not time for an explanation, isn't it?" Angela said to Alizee privately—as a personal assistant, basically Lily is where she is.
So Angela is now putting all her energy into filming, and all the British crew members on the set - including Thompson and Rickman and several other actors - are very cooperative, needless to say, all of them have been reported in a row. Brainwashed. The girl didn't bother to explain, anyway, it was good for the filming, and besides, she was still worrying about the script.
What she said to Ellen DeGeneres in the "American Idol" finals wasn't groundless, Angela did want a lesbian story in "Love Actually." For this reason, she canceled the plot of the pair of men and women filtered for porn, which is a bit regrettable but not a big deal. Besides, she's never made a dew point scene in any of the films she's made, and this time was no exception.
The lesbian plot Angela has already arranged, cut in through the little boy, leading out that the headmistress of the school is a gay thing, and the headmistress's female lover is the teacher in the school. It is conceivable how much criticism such a pair of lovers will attract. Although the social environment for homosexuality is constantly improving, if a person in an educational position is exposed as a homosexual, the pressure from the parents alone is enough to make him resign.
So this should be a tragedy like the story of giving up love for a mentally ill younger brother. In fact, when Angela first started writing, the headmistress's ending was suicide. After finishing it, she realized that the ending didn't match the theme of Christmas and the whole movie at all. . Faced with this ending that was written without much thought, the girl was in a trance for a while, and then changed it to the headmistress, who had to break up with her girlfriend on Christmas Eve under pressure, and attended the Christmas party with a forced smile. After returning home, I recalled all the previous tears alone.
However, Angela is still not satisfied with this ending. After all, the theme of the movie is "true love comes first". The sister who gave up love at least gave her love to her younger brother, and the man who fell in love with his friend's bride received a farewell-like response after his confession. It is conceivable that if the headmistress's ending is like this, it will undoubtedly be equivalent to finding a dead mouse in a bowl of delicious soup after drinking it! She herself will also face countless criticisms and speculations.
It's just that this dissatisfaction is dissatisfaction, but Angela has always been stubbornly inclined to use this ending. She had no idea what she was thinking, just like she didn't understand why she suddenly came to direct the movie "Love Actually".
"It's such a pity that I didn't bring a camera. If Rupert saw Mr. Allen like this, his chin would definitely drop." Xia Xia, who sighed, ran in front of him, and Anji, who was in deep thought, suddenly came to his senses.
"You can tell him the fact." The girl smiled and rubbed the little guy's head. As he grew older, Xia Xia became more and more temperamental. Even Lulu was promoted from a kid to a little girl. How can there be an exception.
"Do you think telling him in words, or telling him in photos or videos, which one is more shocking?" Xia Xia leaned on the armrest of the chair with one hand on her cheek and looked at Angela without blinking.
"When did you become so interested in Rupert?" Angela asked half-jokingly.
"Because he is a little cuter than Dan, but they are both very cute." Xia Xia said and waved her hand, "I just don't like writing and studying, sometimes I think about the characters of the three of us and the characters in the book. Their personalities are too similar.”
Speaking of this, she suddenly thought of something and rolled her eyes, put her hands in front of Angela, and said in a narrow tone: "Don't worry, I love you the most, and it won't change with time. ."
She said, licking the corner of her mouth with her small tongue, showing a look of eagerness, but after a few seconds it changed to depression and depression: "Damn, time has changed at least one thing."
Angela smiled and rolled her eyes, and immediately reached out and kneaded Xia Xia's face for a while: "Are you just thinking about biting me all day, Xia Xia?! Be careful that one day I will lock you up, and I will lock you up for more than ten years. Bite through and bite back!"
"Hey... that... what are you writing?" The devastated little girl had to find a way to change the subject.
"The ending of the last story has always felt bad." After letting Xia Xia go, Angela looked at the screen of the laptop, tapped her fingers on the table and sighed.
Xia Xia, who read it quickly, also frowned: "This ending is really bad - you have already started directing, but you haven't even finished the script? God, Angie, how can you do this, the media said it would be Your best work ever!"
"When can you fully believe the words of the media?" Angela immediately gave the little girl a roll of eyes, and then explained: "It is precisely because I want to shoot better that I want to revise it."
"Okay okay, this ending is really bad, I don't like it anyway." Xia Xia shrugged, "Even homosexuals should have the qualifications to love and be loved. You said that."
"I know, I also try to make the story fit this point, but the ending has to fit the reality. However, whether it's the two resisting the pressure to get together, or the headmistress resigning to find her girlfriend..." Angela She spread her hands and didn't continue talking, obviously she was really troubled.
"Frankly speaking, I can't give any advice. But I remember you said more than once that a good director will make half of his point of view in the movie, and let the audience guess the other half. I don't know if this has any effect on you. Help?" Xia Xia said helplessly, no matter how smart she is, she is only 12 years old now.
"Let the audience guess?" Angela was suddenly stunned, and a flash of light suddenly flashed across her mind, but there was a bit of bitterness that came to her mouth.
"I have an idea, thank you, Xia Xia." The girl hugged the little girl and kissed her on the cheek.
"I helped you? It's great!" The surprised Xia Xia giggled and kissed Angela back, and then touched her face a little embarrassedly: "Well... is there something on my face? ?"
"Oh, no, it's nothing." Angela, who came to her senses, turned her head away and coughed dryly.
Damn, what are you thinking! The girl cursed secretly in her heart, but when her eyes swept across Xia Xia's face, her eyes remained on her wet lips for two or three seconds, as if something came out of her heart and then sank.
"I think everyone has enough rest, let's continue shooting, anyway, the ending is already there." Angela closed the laptop and greeted the assistant director for everyone to prepare.
"Can you tell me secretly how the ending is first?" Xia Xia tugged at the corner of her clothes with expectation.
"I'm sorry, dear, I can't do it now." Angela shook her head, and after the little girl showed a disappointed look, she suddenly asked with a smile, "Are you interested in making a cameo in this movie, Xia Xia?"
"You mean cameo? In "Love Actually"? You directed?!" The little girl immediately asked with her eyes shining.
"What? Miss Know-it-all doesn't want to?" Angela said jokingly, and then said sternly: "However, I intend to make you a guest passerby or something, and in short, you won't make an official appearance."
"Why?" Xia Xia, who was still happy just now, suddenly collapsed.
"Because when people find out after the end that the cast list actually has the name 'Hermione' in it, I think most people may watch it again and find a way to find you!" Angela picked it proudly. eyebrow.
Xia Xia looked at her with her mouth open for a long time, and finally shook her head: "You are so bad, Anji!"
Filming continued, with the story of the couple Rickman and Thompson being filmed during this period, although several other characters were also interspersed—such as Laura Linney’s character who is in love with her mentally ill brother. Sisters who gave up on love - but not many in general.
What Angela planned was to shoot one story at a time, which would not only facilitate the adjustment of several actors with tight schedules, but also allow herself to take this opportunity to take time to revise the last story. Now that she has resolved that headache, she has no plans to change her approach to filming.
So it took about a week from the start of filming to filming the story between the couple, and then she flew back to Los Angeles on the Sky, and she promised to attend a party early on.
"Hey, are you happy?" After the clamor gradually subsided, the host emerged from behind the stage with a sudden beam of light, "I think everyone can't wait to go to the dance, right? Don't worry, We'll start right away, and the opening dance song will be performed by one of our best classmates who graduated from the same class! I think everyone should guess who it is, yes yes, welcome her to the stage!"
As the electronic music with a strong sense of rhythm sounded, Angela, who was wearing a black wide-shouldered vest with lace and dark skinny jeans, with a slightly exposed belly button, walked out from the backstage, with a toss of her hair revealing a wild and uninhibited look. , pick up the microphone in the harmony of the people next to you and sing:
"Hey Mr.DJ, in case you forgot, I came to getdown So you getter make it hots..."
Although Miss Angel's words were a little vague, the unusual magnetic voice and rhythmic music passed through the crowd like an electric current, making them want to twist their bodies along with it.
When the men and women in harmony came out from the backstage, they danced to the rhythm in the center of the venue, and Angela, who was singing on the stage, also began to twist her waist slightly. People's enthusiasm was suddenly detonated. Many men brought their own The dance partners came to the center of the venue to dance to this rhythmic music.
Of course, many single men focused their attention on Angela, who was completely different from the quiet and beautiful at the beginning, who looked sexy and wild, and wondered if they could invite Miss Angel to dance to a song later.
"Even if it's just dancing together," someone said with such an association.
"Stop joking, it's up to you? How could Angela agree." Someone immediately said mockingly.
Then a group of men began to quarrel in a low voice, but if someone loves it, someone must be jealous.
"Look at her appearance. She's scratching her head like a billionaire. She doesn't have the demeanor she should have." A woman said mockingly, her proud face was obviously a famous Shuyuan.
It's a pity that you dare to speak like this, so you must be prepared to be mocked as well.
"It's a pity that no matter what some people do, they can't achieve one-third of the results of others." Another woman in the crowd said in such a low voice, which suddenly attracted a few chuckles.
"You..." The woman turned her head angrily before, but she couldn't find anyone to speak to. She had no choice but to hold back and stop talking. After all, the person on the stage had already reached the point where she could only look up, and the sour words she said before were just because of a momentary gaffe.
Angela on stage naturally didn't know this, but even if she knew, she wouldn't take it to heart. After singing the song, he readily bowed to everyone, and went directly to the backstage following the call for another one.
"It's amazing, Angela, you sing so well!" Several people in charge of the backstage immediately came to her and nodded and said with a smile that could be called flattering.
However, Angela didn't care, glanced around and shouted loudly, "Jim!"
A few minutes later, Jim Ford came tumbling over, also with a flattering smile: "Um... Hey Angela, you're still so good, this song is so well written."
"Don't tell me this," Angela folded her arms and stared at him. "What did you tell me before? It's just a simple singing. It's no big deal, but I'm in a bad mood right now!"
"This..." Jim grabbed his head and looked around with a look of help, but these guys who persuaded him before seemed to know nothing at the moment, and they were busy as if the next performance was very tedious.
hateful! If I knew earlier, I shouldn't have agreed to Ronald... Jim cursed in his heart, but now the main thing is to find a way to appease Angela who seems very angry in front of him: "This... maybe... because... "
A flash of light suddenly flashed in Jim's head, hesitantly, he immediately straightened his body and raised his chest, stomped his feet hard, and answered loudly, "Report sir! There is no excuse, sir!"
"You..." Angela's mouth twitched, "Do you think it's enough to take out the rascal style of the movie club back then!"
"Report sir! No hope, sir!" Jim roared, his nostrils pointed upwards, still straight. If it weren't for the deafening music outside, maybe the whole hall could hear his voice. The guys in charge of the dance around them all kept their heads down and tried desperately to endure, and they might laugh out loud if they weren't careful.
"You...you..." Angela nodded at him with her finger for a long time without saying a complete sentence, and she could only flick her hand and walk inside: "I'm going to change my clothes now, don't disturb me if it's all right! "
Then she sighed as she walked: "Damn, why did I promise to participate in the high school reunion! Why did I promise to write songs for you!"
There was finally a burst of laughter backstage.
