Some things are like this, although they have to go through twists and turns on the way, they are basically still moving forward according to the established route, such as "The Queen" being filmed or Angela and Kayla making out that night.
I have to admit that Xia Xia is very troublesome once it becomes difficult, especially when the pair of eyes swept over Kayla and Angela and asked suspiciously: "You are in a hurry to drive me away, what are you doing? Is it a human thing?"
Even so, Angela was not helpless, and immediately showed a serious look: "Kyla and I have important things to talk about privately, and we should have finished talking before that, but you suddenly came to pester us to chat. Let's talk about that, so we have to wait until you leave."
Although Xia Xia has a maturity that does not match her age, she is still a 13-year-old kid after all, and what Angela said is also true. At the earliest, she wanted to talk to Kayla about the next two "Pirates of the Caribbean". —After constant contact and negotiation by Ed and the pressure from Steve and Angela, a consensus has been reached within Disney that Eisner will step down sooner or later; at most the production of two "Pirates of the Caribbean" films after the summer vacation It is about to be put on the agenda, so Kayla, who is currently filming a literary film in the UK, must prepare early.
It's a pity that Angela has been nervously filming since the camera was turned on, and the paparazzi were very close when they were at Buckingham Palace. I haven't seen Kayla for a while, so when the enthusiasm was ignited, I forgot everything. Cloud Nine.
Therefore, although Xia Xia was still a little suspicious of Angela's words, she finally left the room under her coaxing and coaxing. As for the next thing, there is no need to say much, anyway, poor Kayla got up a lot late the next day.
"Anyway, I will notify you or your agent in advance if there is news, remember to adjust your schedule." After a pleasant weekend in Balamore and Claridge, Angela was sending Kayla away Say so.
"Got it, I won't forget it." Kayla deliberately made her voice particularly cadenced, with a bright smile on her face. Those crooked eyes were full of nostalgic smiles. If there were no other people around, she would have snuggled into Angela's arms and said something more intimate, and then said goodbye with a French wet kiss: If she didn't know that Angela is now being The paparazzi are concerned that it is not necessarily safe even in Balamore, she will definitely stay by her side for ten days and a half months. It can be said that Kayla's heart is now completely on Angela's body.
Angela is also aware of this, but the two faces in her heart are sometimes separated and sometimes closed, which is really difficult to handle. Take care of him, take it slow, Kayla is her own now, isn't she
"Hey, the two of you," Xia Xia came over at this time, tilting her head with her hands on her hips and looking at them, "Why do I look at you in the corner from a distance... It's like sweet talk to a couple."
A hint of depression flashed in Keira's eyes, and then she rubbed Xia Xia's head for a while before Angela spoke: "The intimate conversation between two women in a corner is a couple's words, and the lace edge in the world is too much. A little more."
"I think there are two reasons why she would talk like this," Angela took the topic with a smirk at this time. "Or, she thinks the bounty published in the tabloids is very attractive, and she wants to get that bounty."
"That's not it!" Xia Xia immediately exclaimed with a small mouth, "Am I still coveting that bounty?!"
"That's because—" Angela stretched her voice, "what you think in your heart, what you see in your eyes!"
Kayla and Xia Xia couldn't help being stunned by this half-concealed remark. After a while, the two of them reacted immediately. The little girl's face flushed and she bit her lip and glared angrily at Angela. Although Keira tried her best to look like nothing had happened, the corners of her mouth that didn't turn up betrayed her inner thoughts.
Who made you wicked brat make fun of us just now!
"Okay, no kidding," Angela waved her hand and rounded up the scene, "After the filming of "Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban" starts, I'll probably have almost finished it here, and I'll definitely finish it by then. Going to visit your class on set - don't say anything like I never took you to heart."
"This is a promise?" Xia Xia blinked at Angela, revealing a faint glow of excitement.
"Yes, it's a promise." Angela nodded earnestly, and then secretly made a "I'm also a promise to visit your class" to Kayla. Speaking of which, she suddenly thought of something, pulled Lakaila and Xia Xia and put on a serious expression: "By the way, if you have symptoms such as chest tightness, fever, and cough, you must go to the hospital for examination."
"why?"
"Did something happen?"
The two looked at Angela and asked in unison.
"You should have seen in the newspapers that a severe and severe respiratory infectious disease broke out in Asia. Although it is far away from us, I think we still need to pay attention to avoid any mistakes." Angela explained, seeing Kai Both La and Xia Xia were still somewhat disapproving, and she added to her tone: "I'm not joking, the World Health Organization has issued a warning, Canada has become an epidemic area, and God knows if there will be a major outbreak elsewhere. "
"Okay, I'll definitely pay attention." Kaila nodded first, and Xia Xia agreed immediately.
"Don't perfunctory me." Angela also asked her mother-in-law and mother's advice, but in exchange she received two blank eyes.
The SARS that was still coming made Angela's heart a little heavy. Although her charitable fund donated $3 million in medicines as soon as the World Health Organization issued a warning, it was only a drop in the bucket for the epidemic.
In fact, Angela can donate ten times the number of medicines, but she can't do it. So far, the total number of drugs donated in the United States is only about 4 million, which still does not take her donation into account. Angela can call on everyone to donate enthusiastically, but never personally donate more than the total amount of donations in the United States. Otherwise, what will others think? Does the image she maintains for the plan still work? She did the same during the 1998 flood.
This is also a form of compromise. Angela said to herself silently in her heart.
The word "compromise" was once again deeply experienced by her during this period of time. From Buckingham Palace to Baramore, Angela has been slowly groping the Queen's inner world during the filming. Although she is always a little foggy, she has to admit that Queen Elizabeth II is quite decisive. Once it is clear that something cannot be done, it is time to compromise unambiguous.
From the beginning of insisting on a low-key silence and holding a funeral, to the Balamore Palace holiday and not returning to Buckingham Palace, and then being forced to announce a change in the size of the funeral and the lowering of the flag at half-mast at Buckingham Palace, and finally before delivering a national speech on TV, according to the Prime Minister's suggestion, "as Queen" "Changed to "in the identity of a queen and an old grandmother", which all reflected her oath of "country first, individual second". Even if Angela didn't like her conservativeness, she had to admire her unhesitating steadfastness in her beliefs.
So when I was filming at Buckingham Palace before the Queen came back from Balamore, visited in front of the pile of bouquets and met the crowd gathered there, Angela arranged for a little girl to present her a bouquet of flowers and said: This is for you . This is one of the reasons why the United Kingdom maintains respect for the royal family while listening to it wants to abolish the royal family.
The more things you have to shoulder, the more you have to give up, such as personal feelings... Angela sighed faintly while summarizing this in her heart. Fortunately, what I insist on is about to be completed, as long as the last problem is solved.
Her thoughts suddenly came back to the night when she came back from the outing, and she said a word when dealing with Xia Xia, which made her stunned for several seconds. The final question is... Am I putting too much personal opinion in it
"I want you to understand, Boris, that Mr Blair was devastated by the dwindling approval ratings after taking office more than a year before this disaster, so he needs to take this opportunity to erect a new image in front of the public. After repeated compromises, he, who originally wanted to further suppress the royal family, began to hesitate, but the hesitation at this moment has not yet shaken his decision, so you should hide that hesitation under the excited expression, Instead of being so obvious!" Angela, who stood in the center of the set, explained to the actor who played the current prime minister what to pay attention to.
This actor named Boris Bodley was recommended by Alan Rickman. Although he was just in his early forties, he has performed well in stage plays, TV series and movies. Most importantly though, this guy looks a lot like Tony Blair, especially with makeup at least 80%!
"Why don't... work on small movements?" Boris suddenly asked after thinking for a long time, "For example, although his face is happy, his fingers are constantly tapping on the documents? Or when the assistant reminds him that he can pursue the victory. , just stunned for two seconds?"
"This idea is good, you can try it." Angela nodded after turning around in place for two times, then clapped her hands and raised her voice: "Okay, everyone, let's do it again!"
If it is possible to compromise, Blair is actually not much different from the Queen, otherwise the relationship between the two will not be so harmonious now. It is said that the difference between a politician and a politician is that a politician knows when to compromise and when not to compromise. Although Angela hates politics, she has to admit that this sentence is right, or that all good people know when they can compromise and when they can't. Just knowing is knowing, whether it can be done or not is another matter...
"Are you going back now?" After Angela asked her assistant to inform everyone that today's filming was over, the girl who had been sitting beside her without saying a word suddenly asked.
"Well... yes." Angela, who handed the worksheet in her hand to Alizee, hesitated for two seconds and then nodded.
"That, Miss Kayla, will you come to see you today?" the girl asked again.
Angela rolled her eyes, automatically ignoring the mockery in Alizee's eyes, took a deep breath and looked at the other party: "What's the matter, Lindsay? I think you should remember what I said to you."
Lindsay suddenly fell silent, but looked at Angela's eyes flashing a trace of dissatisfaction from time to time.
"Okay, let's go back to the hotel." Angela waved helplessly after sighing.
The girl arrived in London yesterday afternoon. She went to Paris for the location of "Hurricane Rescue". Because there were not many shots, she crossed the channel to see her sister after filming - this is Lindsay's original words. It's just that Kayla just happened to find time to sneak into the hotel to see her, and Lindsay arrived just after the two made out, so the girl must have seen something.
so what? Anyway, I have rejected her. After returning to the hotel suite, Angela hummed softly in her heart. It's just that Lindsay only maintained basic contact with her after that. After the scandal with Weiwei spread, there was no way to know someone's news through her, so Angela still had something about Lindsay that she didn't even notice. resentment.
Even so, after Lindsay came into the room, she smiled and started chatting with the girl: "How does it feel to work with Lim as father and daughter again? This time the father is a strong character."
The script for "Hurricane Rescue" was finished in February at the same time as "The Magic Remote", and it was similar to the previous ones. Angela provided the outline and then let other writers complete it. It's just that this time she is the first in the screenwriter column. After all, one of the two scripts is given to Lindsay and the other to Jennifer. Although she can't do it herself for various reasons, at least it is better to be the first screenwriter to show her sincerity. .
As for the director of "Hurricane Rescue", Angela still contacted Luc Besson, just like ten years ago. After receiving the script, the other party readily agreed to direct it, and then it took two months of preparation to finally start the film in France not long ago.
"It's not bad, but I feel a little bit different from before. I'm not so excited anymore." Lindsay folded her hands between her legs and said in a rare light tone.
After looking at Angela for a while, she suddenly asked, "Are you on a date?"
Angela, who was drinking coffee, frowned slightly, and then admitted generously: "Yes, we are dating."
"Why?" Lindsay continued, staring at her.
"No reason, I want to find a lover, that's all." Angela waved her hand impatiently.
"What about the others?" Lindsay raised her voice abruptly.
"I told you, I prefer you to be my sister, no matter what?" Angela stared at her.
"I..." Lindsay's throat trembled, and her expression suddenly became angry, "I'm talking about Jesse! Do you know what she is like now?! I didn't dare to mention you when I went to see her, When it touches her a little, she will become very dazed and her eyes will turn red, even if she is very serious and hard at work, she hardly communicates with others when she can rest..."
"That's not my fault!" Angela also raised her voice, she stood up abruptly, her forehead kept beating, her hands were clenched tightly, and her whole body was shaking.
"I'm ready to solve it! I'm ready to accept the possible ending! But they didn't give me a chance! They didn't give me a chance!" Angela roared in a complacent manner.
Lindsay leaned back and seemed to be frightened by her. After a while, she stood up and gritted her teeth and continued: "So you are looking for such a woman as your lover?! You think I can't see it, you are just looking for her. It's because she..."
"Enough!" Angela's face turned blue, she pointed to the door forcefully: "If you just came to tell me this, then please go out!"
Lindsay's lips quivered again, and suddenly she asked calmly, "What about Weiwei?"
"What?" Angela was shocked.
"She told me you were dating her," Lindsay stared into Angela's eyes, "I went to see her after she came back from Canada, and I drank a little more at home, and then I jokingly asked her who were you? Not really dating, she admitted."
After a pause, she continued: "Then I told her that I slept with you."
Angela's beautiful face suddenly became contorted, as if someone had punched her hard.
"No wonder... She hangs up after only a few words every time she speaks for the past two months... The emails returned are only a few words..." Angela murmured, feeling a little lost for a while.
"How...how did you become like this, Angie?" Lindsay showed a sad expression, "You were dating Vivi but hooked up with Kayla, did you forget that Jesse and the others graduated last year when you graduated. Did you break up at the same time that day? Why... Why is the current you completely different from the previous you?!"
"Don't say anything different to me! I'm me! It's nothing different!" Angela suddenly shouted excitedly, "Don't think that you can point fingers at me because you've slept with me! You don't understand at all Me! Not at all!"
Lindsay stared blankly at Angela, her shocked expression finally turned into heartache and disappointment.
"I really don't know you, Angie," Lindsay said softly, looking at her, "all I know is that the person who protected me from the wind and rain by my side, the one who made me want to be her lover. , even if it is used as a substitute, it doesn't matter who has left."
Saying that, she bit her lip and took a deep breath, turned and walked to the door.
"Good night." Lindsay said, and left without looking back.
Angela, who had been standing still, stood there for a long time before she slumped softly on the sofa. She raised her head with empty eyes that seemed to have lost her emotions and stared at the ceiling for a long while before she shrank her body on the sofa. Hug on top. The hands that were wrapped around her chest were firmly grasped on her arms. Although the trembling of her body gradually became severe, she never made a sound, and her eyes were still empty.
Damn, how can this be... Damn! How can you do this!
