"How is it, my robot looks very oppressive?" James closed the editing room door and asked with a smile while walking, while Angela shrugged: "Not bad, but I prefer them to deform. When the shots were taken. Although there is no sound effects or anything, just the shots are enough, and choosing you to be the director was the right decision."
"Actually, I can do it even better, as long as you..." James blinked and was about to say something, but Angela interrupted rudely: "I'll give you everything that should be given to you, don't think of me adding even one more thing. An investment of cents!"
"Okay okay," James waved his hand complainingly, "You are not cute at all when you are the boss. I really miss you when you made "Titanic" six years ago, how serious and confident you were. and excellent."
"Okay, James, some things are over, and you always talk about what you did in the past?" Angela rolled her eyes, looking a little indignant. "Does talking about the past make you do better now?"
"Hey hey, I'm just sighing, don't you need to be so accusatory?" James raised his hands and raised his hands, then walked to the front to open the door, turned his head and made a gesture of please to Angela.
"What's going on here?" Angela walked in with a smile, "Looks like... dubbing?!
The smile suddenly solidified. Behind the wide glass wall, Jessica stood in front of the microphone and looked at the script on the shelf and said something with a smile. It's just that the smile in the eyes of familiar people is less than before.
Jessica, who was dubbing the voice inside, also noticed that someone was coming in, and after glancing at the door, she couldn't take her eyes away.
"What's the matter, Jessica?" The staff member in charge of recording raised his head angrily, and after noticing her gaze, he looked towards the door, and then showed a sudden realization.
"Okay, let's take a ten-minute break for now." He said this into the microphone, stood up and greeted James who came in: "Hey, James, what's the problem when you come here suddenly? I'm very serious Work, everyone can testify.”
There were low-pitched laughter all around, James laughed and shook his head: "Don't be so nervous, Byron, I haven't lost my temper with you for a long time, can't you be a little more normal in front of me?"
"A long time?" Byron raised his eyebrows, "I... I still remember before Christmas last year, because I was in a hurry to go home... "
"Okay, Byron, I didn't come here to talk about that," James stopped him by reaching out his hand. "I'm just bringing someone who has been caring about this movie to see the current half-finished product."
He turned his head and was about to call Angela over, but saw Angela leave the dubbing room in a hurry, and Jessica, who had just stood in front of her, looked blank, as if she didn't know what happened.
With a long breath, Angela slowed her pace, then stopped at the turn of the aisle, and then held her face with a low gritted snort. Damn, after saying hello, he clearly wanted to say something in a sarcastic tone, "Looks like, you've been having a good time recently", but why did it turn into a hesitant question, "Now... how are you?"? !
And no matter what comes out of her mouth, it will change and become completely different from what she wants to say. She can't even ask her with a sneer, "You came and left at the Halloween party last year, so you hated me so much".
Damn it! Angela closed her eyes and cursed, but her mind was full of the other party's depressed eyes and the pretended smile that was no longer bright. "It's been a long time... I haven't seen you, Angie..." She looked at herself and asked, the trembling in her voice could be heard, and the sadness in her drooping eyelids could also be seen, the inexplicable anxiety overwhelmed Angela .
A hard punch to the wall, that's what she really wants to do now, Jesse seems to have lost a lot of weight...
"Angie, what happened?" James came over at this time, and finally made Angela come back to his senses. In just a few seconds, she returned to her previous appearance, turned her head and asked suspiciously, "What?"
"Why did you leave so suddenly?" James asked, gesturing. "I thought you'd be happy..."
"Oh, I'm sorry, James, something went wrong," Angela interrupted him apologetically, followed by raising the phone in Yang's hand, "Jack just got on the phone and needs to talk to me, so I'm going to left."
"Is that so?" James squeezed his knuckles. "It's a pity, but it doesn't matter, you can come over at any time."
"Thank you." Angela apologized again and turned to go to the exit, but James immediately stopped her: "Wait, Angie, can I invite you to write a script for me?"
"Script?" Angela looked at James suspiciously.
"Yes, remember the new type of movie I told you before? Basically, it is ready for use. I plan to start preparing for the new movie after the "Transformers" is finished, and I have a general idea. The inspiration came from Having seen a dream of Star Wars, I hope you can write a script based on what I have provided." James said a little eagerly. Seeing Angela's hesitant look, she hurriedly added: "If you don't have time, if you don't mind, I can write an outline or even the first draft for your reference."
"Okay, that's it." Angela, who was entangled in certain things, nodded and agreed after thinking carefully.
After getting into the car in the parking lot, Angela breathed a sigh of relief, but it was impossible to completely calm down. After hesitating for a few minutes, she took out the phone and dialed: "Hi, Annie, I want to... have a small party at home... Yes, that's right, as for the guests... Vivi, Lindsay, and..."
The thumping water splashed, and the pervading water vapor made the whole room look hazy. The hilarious laughter was accompanied by the thumping sound from time to time, and the lotus root-like arms and calves were looming in the mist with water droplets. .
After a few more clattering noises, a man crawled on the wall of the bathtub, giggling and begging for mercy: "Alright, alright, I surrender."
"Is it too late to surrender now, eh?" Another beautiful body immediately came over and hugged her in his arms.
"Hey, you said that as long as I surrender, Angie, you can't be trustworthy!" Avril protested.
"I just told a fact, I didn't say to continue, did I?" Angela Yingying smiled, hugged her against the wall of the bathtub and immersed her body in the hot water, and then pressed the switch of massage surfing .
Perhaps the playfulness between them consumed most of her energy, and Avril snuggled quietly in Angela's arms, feeling the impact of the water waves, and occasionally gently caressed the other party or rubbed her ears.
"Angie, why did Lindsay become a little unhappy after the party that day? I seem to see what you said to her?" Avril suddenly raised her head and asked.
Angela brushed the wet hair on her forehead, and answered after a long while: "I said something... She didn't like to hear it, maybe she was angry... Don't worry, Lindsay is a simple girl and won't think too much. Many."
"But she always takes your opinion very seriously," Avril's tone involuntarily contained a bit of sourness, but it disappeared before she noticed it, "Angie, Lindsay just likes to play, she is still very measured, I can attest to that..."
"Okay, Weiwei, I know what you said, and I'm also measured," Angie stretched and scratched her little nose, then lowered her head and kissed the corner of her mouth, "Don't worry, okay? ?"
Having said that, Angela's mind couldn't help but resurface the conversation that day.
"Why can't I stay?" Lindsay asked angrily in the corner.
"Some things should stop, Lindsay." Angela said in a calm tone, "I understand what you're thinking, but it's not right. I don't like you like this, understand?"
"Then... so what?!" Lindsay waved her hands irritably, "I like you, that's my business..."
"But going to bed is different," Angela interrupted immediately, "I prefer... you are my sister."
"But we've done it, haven't we?" Lindsay said stubbornly.
Angela didn't speak any more, and after watching her for a while, she said coldly: "I met Jesse today when I went to James Cameron to supervise "Transformers", you think... let me feel her in you breath?"
Lindsay's face changed at the time, and she left the party angrily without saying a word.
Rejecting Lindsay... because of Paris? While Angela was wiping Avril's hair, a thought suddenly popped up.
Nonsense! She sneered inwardly.
Yeah? The voice rang again. Then why are you still unsure about your relationship with Weiwei? Why had she told her not to tell Lindsay about your sex with anyone? Or are you just… treating her like a toy
Angela's face suddenly became ugly, and Avril, who was combing her hair in front of the mirror, noticed her strangeness and turned her head and asked, "What's wrong, Angie?"
"No, it's nothing." Angela then smiled and hugged her flat belly from behind, kissed the back of her neck, and then looked at the mirror and said jokingly: "I found that your breasts seem to be smaller than before. "
"Are you showing off how big you are?" Avril rolled her eyes and suddenly turned around and grabbed the softness of Angela's chest. The two immediately started fighting in the bathroom until Avril conceded defeat. .
I can do what I want to do, how I want to do it, and I don't need anyone to tell me what to do! Angela, who made Avril's face flushed, said this coldly in her heart.
However, when she and Heng came to the bedroom with the girl in their arms, they placed the other side lightly behind the bed, looked at Aizan'er's gray-blue eyes for a long time, and then said softly, "Tonight, we just hugged to sleep like this, and we didn't do anything. do it, okay?"
At the end of January 2003, Angela returned to London from Los Angeles, she had taken care of forward-looking matters related to the new film, and now it is time to visit Her Majesty at Buckingham Palace.
And before that, she has other things to do. Although she handed over all the post-editing of "Love First" to the assistant director and others, it doesn't mean that she doesn't care at all, if it is because some details are not done well Your own brand name is worth the loss. At the same time, she has to deal with Jamie Johnson, who came from Los Angeles to make "Born Rich".
"Actually, I rarely go shopping for clothes, and I don't have a few rooms for clothes, shoes and accessories as rumored. It's not that I don't like it, but I don't have the time or energy to do it," Angela walked. Talking to a young man in his 20s around him, the photographer is close behind against the camera.
"Is it because your energy and time are spent on work?" Jamie Johnson asked with a smile. His facial features were sharp and angular, and he smiled very well. "Then this can confirm another rumor."
Angela smiled and opened the door in front of them: "I still have studies before this, but fortunately I have graduated. Frankly speaking, it is not easy to make movies while going to Harvard. I have been afraid that I will not be able to finish. industry."
"It would be much better if it was just filming, right?" Jamie asked. "There are many movie stars who go to college and Bingbai movies, and it would definitely take a lot of time to make them."
"The key is to arrange the time and let it go when it's time to let go," Angela said, pointing to the people around her who were working hard, "Look, they're making the later stages of "Love Actually." Because this movie is a tender The movie is going to be released this Christmas, so I have enough time to slowly make it, and I completely hand it over to them to come and see it occasionally.”
Speaking of which, she raised her voice slightly: "Can someone tell me how is the situation?"
The main person in charge did not speak, but after a few seconds of silence, a guy suddenly jumped up and straightened his body: "Report sir, everything went well, we have completed the 30-minute editing!"
Angela rolled her eyes and waved her hand amusedly: "Thank you for your answer, Sergeant Jim, please continue."
"Understood, sir!" Jim replied in a buoyant tone, followed by a low burst of laughter all around.
"Okay, let's go back to the conference room. I believe you should have a general understanding of where I work along the way." Angela said and walked out of the editing room, while shaking her head half complaining in her heart.
After the high school reunion, Angela called Jim as agreed. He has rich editing experience and likes the whimsical atmosphere of Pixar. clip. It's just that this guy is probably stimulated by the last class reunion, and he often likes to play the role of a combat soldier, and the people around him not only do not hate it, but also find it interesting, so the situation just now happens at any time.
"Obviously you're popular everywhere," Jamie continued, "but don't you think it's a little less majestic if you're always like this?"
"Lack of majesty? No no no, Jamie, I actually get tantrums when I'm directing with problems that I can't always solve, especially women are more emotional than men at certain times of the month," Angela said without any scruples, completely ignoring the embarrassing expressions of Jamie and others.
"Everyone will be careful not to offend me at this time, otherwise they will be ridiculed completely by me." Angela continued, "Of course, if you want to maintain the attitude of an executive like the CEO of the company, I will Can't do it. You know, I'm not talented in business, so I don't know what that gesture should be."
"There's a lot of news that you don't understand business, but anyway you put money into Pixar and Apple at the right time and made a fortune in the IT storm of 2000, didn't you?" Jamie asked immediately.
"Oh, don't talk about that, Jamie," Angela said with a wry smile and spread her hands, "if I had any interest in business before, after selling stocks in 2000, I realized that I would never be able to be in finance. It developed. The solutions that I racked my brains for were quickly turned into waste paper after I handed them over to my father, so I gave up those delusions and did what I liked to do.”
"Make Movie?"
"Telling a story to be exact, telling a story well and telling a good story are the most basic elements of a good movie..."
The interview of "Born to Be Rich" went on and off for about a week. In addition to Angela, Jamie also interviewed many people around her. Most of them cooperated and talked about their views on Angela from their own perspective. Of course, there are also people who are dismissive. For example, when Alizee was asked, she just said indifferently, "Just ask her" and then ignored it, making Jamie stand awkwardly for a while, and finally Angela cleared the siege.
"Don't take it to heart, she just doesn't like to talk too much." Angela said.
By the time Jamie Johnson left London, it was already early February, and although London was still cold, the paparazzi could not stop their enthusiasm. They were like frogs waking up from hibernation and began to jump out at Angela's There's a lot of noise around - because this year's Oscar nominees are out ahead of schedule.
Released at the end of last summer vacation, the controversial "Crash" was nominated for Best Film, Best Director, Best Supporting Actor, Best Song and Best Original Screenplay. Angela once again won three nominations! Especially the nomination of the last original script, she won two nominations for "Crash" and "Little Miss Sunshine" at the same time!
Thinking of the golden man who won the best adapted screenplay in the previous three years, some reporters exclaimed: Is Miss Angel planning to win all the screenplay awards while winning the best movie
Of course, more people still focus on whether she can win the best director this time. After all, this is the fifth time in a row that she has won this nomination.
Angela didn't take it to heart. Although she was a little surprised by being shortlisted for the original script, she still smiled bitterly. After all, the word "original" is quite ironic.
As for the nomination for best director, whether she gets it or not will not have much impact on her plans - although she hopes to wait until next year - so Angela will focus on other things.
