The reason why I say this is because the latest episode of the Harry Potter series, Order of the Phoenix, was published two weeks ago. Of course, as Magic Mama's best friend and working on her new film in London, Angela had seen the manuscript a month earlier. Simply put, the content of the book seems normal to other readers - after all, the protagonist is Harry Potter - careful and keen readers may find a little strange, but in the absence of evidence, they will never guess too much. , only those who understand will read what is hidden between the lines.
Although Lex Luke's role in the entire book is similar to that of the previous Goblet of Fire, its importance is only slightly less than that of Snape and Hagrid. Very simple, first of all she was not a member of the Order of the Phoenix, and secondly when Harry asked about Sirius, he said after a dry cough that she should be believable.
"Should be credible? I can understand that you are suspicious, but there is no evidence?" Harry said.
"No, I mean... she should be trustworthy," Sirius said dryly. "Okay, Harry, that's it, I'm sure Dumbledore will make the same judgment."
There are quite a few passages like this, like the one Angela complained about before, at the beginning of a private conversation between Sirius and Lex during Christmas at 12 Mowgli Place:
"Oh, Lex, Lily's best female friend." Sirius breathed in, his thick eyebrows raised high.
"Oh, Sirius, James' best male friend." Lex kept her smile as always.
The corners of Sirius's mouth twitched involuntarily, and his expression became a little weird but quickly returned to calm.
Of course, it's still a bit obvious when seen alone, but Rowling clearly intends to put an aura of mystery on Lex or to confuse the reader and make it difficult to tell which side she's on, just like Snape. For example, he never helped Harry directly, and basically guided the three of them with the method that inspired Hermione, and when Harry set up the DA division, he stood on Umbridge's side - Ron no less taunted her, and Harry had been hesitant, but Hermione was adamant that she was helping them.
"Should she plan to write this character as a replica of Snape?" Angela was very depressed after reading the book.
She couldn't help but doubt it, because some places were too... For example, when Dumbledore asked Snape to teach Harry Occlumency, the two had a small conflict.
"Why not let Miss Luke do the job? I don't think she's as good at it as I am, is she, Miss Luke?" Snape asked in his characteristic slick tone, before revealing a Vicious smile: "If you're worried about something, you can put it in a Pensieve."
"No one is better at your Occlumency, Severus," Lux said quietly. "Of course, I understand your mood, and you've never changed as before."
Snape's face suddenly turned pale with anger. For a few minutes, Harry thought he would get angry, but he gradually lost his anger as he stared at Lex, and finally pursed his lips and said coldly: " All right!"
Looking at these descriptions, Angela can basically guess who Rowling has paired this character with, and can also imagine how she will execute this character in the final film, so there is the previous temptation.
"Don't worry, honey, I promise you'll be surprised," Rowling promised.
"Yeah, as soon as you announce it, everyone will be surprised." Angela muttered in an imperceptible voice.
At this time, the filming of the studio not far away had stopped, and Angela suddenly turned her attention to it, only then did she realize that the three protagonists were not there.
"They happened to have a short visit today, so I allowed them to come a few minutes late. Anyway, they were shooting the panorama of the auditorium." Director Columbus explained, after taking more than half a year of vacation, he looked flushed In good spirits.
However, if you think that you can persuade him to continue directing, it is definitely impossible. It is not easy to direct such a film, not to mention that he has directed three consecutive films. In fact, the style of the later novels tends to be dark, and it is not suitable for him to continue.
As soon as Columbus finished speaking, a black commercial car came to the set, and then Daniel, Rupert, and Xia Xia walked down one by one. Angela went up to greet them with high spirits, but after seeing Xia Xia's dress clearly, she was suddenly "thundered". The clothes are ok, the hair is ok, but the eyeshadow is a bit...
"Which idiot put on this kind of makeup for you?" Angela, who twitched the corners of her mouth, couldn't help asking.
"The makeup artist of the TV station," Xia Xia looked at her puzzled. "They all said that this would make me look more mature and attractive. Besides, Dan and Luber also thought it was pretty good."
"It's pretty good?" Angela rolled her eyes, then turned to look at Daniel and Rupert next to her: "Do you think Emma is beautiful this way? Then please tell me exactly where she is beautiful?"
"Well... it looks very sexy." Rupert said after holding it for a long time.
"I think it's a decadent beauty, that's what eye-smoked outfits are, isn't it?" Daniel said a few more words.
"You little bastards..." Angela shook her head with a sigh, then took Xia Xia's arm and walked towards the commercial car that was carrying them, while calling to Alize: "Lily, ask the crew to borrow theirs. Makeup box!"
"What's wrong?" Xia Xia, who was stuffed into the car, asked a little displeased, "Do you think I'm not good-looking like this
"Wait first." Angela made a gesture, drove the driver down and waited for Alizee to bring the vanity box over, then closed the car door and opened the vanity box layer by layer, explaining while picking out the things to use Get up: "Although the makeup you are wearing now is not harmful to your image, it is not suitable after all. Don't forget that you are only a 13-year-old girl now."
"Can't a 13-year-old girl wear some mature makeup? A little girl always grows into a big girl." Xia Xia couldn't help but pouted, obviously disagreeing with Angela's remarks.
"It's not impossible, but if you want to put on some mature makeup for a 13-year-old girl, you must be careful." Angela said, picked up a few tools and turned her body, "Okay, now turn to the side. Come and see me, my dear, when I change your makeup, you can judge the quality of it."
Out of curiosity, Xia Xia turned around obediently, letting Angela pinched her face. Angela didn't speak anymore, and kept changing tools and meticulously changing makeup for the girl, as if she was concentrating on a beautiful piece of art.
"You look so serious, and you look like this when you do your own makeup?" Xia Xia suddenly burst out laughing.
"Don't move, otherwise I will be irresponsible." Although Angela scolded so softly, the waving hand stopped, and then stared at Xia Xia's little face silently.
"What's wrong? Has it really turned into a flower?" Xia Xia asked worriedly.
"No no no, it's just that the light is a little dark, we're like this..." She said that she asked the little girl to change her position and wanted to get on top of her, but thinking about it would be a little troublesome, so she just sat up straight, "No, that's it , you ride on me."
"Okay okay, it's really troublesome." Xia Xia muttered and sat on Angela's lap, "What about now?"
"Don't move, I'll continue." Angela let the light from the car window hit the little girl's face to continue the rest of the task, and the car suddenly became quiet, only the foundation brush, eyebrow pencil and other utensils occasionally rustled the sound of.
The two were so close that they could almost see the lovely soft fluff on each other's faces, and the hot air they exhaled was itchy. The rays of light in the eyes collided, Xia Xia closed her eyes involuntarily, and her breathing became a little faster.
"Okay, let's see how it goes now." Angela finally stopped and said calmly, looking at Xia Xia, who was close by with her eyes closed, with a hint of shyness on her face.
"Well, is it all right?" Xia Xia opened her eyes, scratched her face a little embarrassedly, took the small mirror handed over by Angela, and only glanced at her eyes widened in surprise.
"How did you do it?!" Xia Xia raised her head and asked after scrutinizing it several times. An Jiwei couldn't help but look at herself with an angry look, and suddenly opened her mouth and leaned towards her. It wasn't until I was about to meet that I remembered something and quickly closed my mouth, and as a result, a firm kiss was placed on Angela's face.
"Are you finally willing to express your enthusiasm in another way?" Angela said teasingly with her eyes bent.
Xia Xia pouted and let out a heavy hum from her small nose, then looked at each other's eyes carefully, and suddenly asked softly after a while, "It seems that something has changed in you, Anji?"
"Change? What changes will I have?" Angela frowned immediately.
"I don't know, it's just that your eyes... seem to have lost their vitality..." Xia Xia said carefully.
A hint of complexity flashed in her emerald green eyes, Angela suddenly leaned in front of the little girl and kissed the corner of her mouth and smiled: "Don't worry, this kind of thing happens often, and it will naturally get better after a few days of rest."
"Okay," Xia Xia, who didn't think much of it, shrugged and climbed off her, "then I'll go out now and surprise them!"
After Xia Xia reappeared in front of Daniel and Rupert, the two little devils opened their mouths first. The thinning foundation, the faint black eye shadow, and the tender red glossy lips all make Xia Xia express her youthfulness and at the same time reveal a mature charm, which is quite attractive.
"I have to admit that Angie is very good at makeup." Rowling said half-jokingly.
It's a pity that Xia Xia's beautiful appearance didn't last long, because she was about to shoot a movie, so she had to remove her makeup and reapply. The little guy complained a lot, saying that if he finally became beautiful, he couldn't keep it for a while, or that the constant makeup and makeup would cause great damage to the skin. It wasn't until Angela comforted her with some kind words and promised to teach her well in the past few days.
After a two-week break in London, Angela immediately went to Florida to prepare to visit the crew of "Pirates of the Caribbean" filming in the Bahamas. As for how her role in "Harry Potter" will be abused by Rowling... She doesn't bother to care, can it still interfere with the other party's creation? As for whether or not to act in a movie... I'll talk about it later.
The vacation in the Bahamas was also lackluster. Although Kayla was very happy with Angela's arrival and liked the style of clothes she chose for herself, she was too busy making movies and couldn't accompany her to play, play, make love and do things every day. And on the south coast of Grand Bahama Island, it's not bad. Many Americans with private yachts like to vacation here in summer. Angela has been here with her parents before, but Ixuma at the end of the island chain It was a bit bad when I went to the island.
Ixumas Island and several surrounding islands are sparsely populated. If it weren't for the arrival of the crew of "Pirates of the Caribbean", some small islands may have never appeared. It is for this reason that the crew Chose where to shoot for Davy Jones' heart. It's just that those unknown bugs are really disgusting. If they are accidentally bitten, they will immediately become red and swollen, and rubbing anything will not help.
Of course, there are still interesting things. For example, Bill Nighy, who played the pissed rocker in "Love Actually" before, came here to play David Jones, the octopus king. This lovely old man will run out every time he takes a break. Gag, and Johnny Depp are a pair of live treasures on the crew.
In addition to this, it is forcing Keira to eat. Whenever she draws the food on the plate into her mouth under Angela's "oppression", it is cute whether her expression is resentful or pitiful.
"I just want to stay in shape, obesity is the enemy of every woman!" Keira had tried to convince Angela.
"But the problem is, it seems that health is your worst enemy now." Angela added more things to her plate while answering. At this time, Kayla could only crawl off her head to eat.
Kayla doesn't understand why Angela can always eat herself to death. She even thinks that she has some masochistic tendencies, and is completely a gas bag - well, she has a sweet gas bag in her heart.
It was the end of July when I returned to Los Angeles again, starting with the inspection of the aircraft. Angela adjusted from her break - Boeing delivered her private jet half a month ago and recommended an experienced pilot team from Florida. Florida was on the plane for the first time when she came back.
On the whole, Angela is still very satisfied, and the comfort level of the plane is comparable to that of her father's Sky. It was only when she named the plane that she was silent for a long time before using the three capital letters of NJK as the name of the plane. As for the explanation... There is no explanation, just do what you want as a boss. Of course, these behaviors are watched by people with a heart.
"After leaving London, she hid all her thoughts and hid it so well that she didn't even notice Kayla, who was with her day and night. If I hadn't been watching her, and I had been prepared, I wouldn't have Found it," Alizee said to Annie after returning to Los Angeles, and she sighed unprecedentedly.
"Thank you for your hard work," Annie hugged her gently. "Let's do it for now. After all, there are some things we can only watch... Of course, if I have time, I will chat with her side-by-side."
Having said that, Annie didn't find a chance for a long time, because Angela started to get busy again. Since "Queen" is going to be released at the end of the year, of course, it must be done quickly in the later stage. Although this year's time is more generous than in previous years, it can't be relaxed. In addition to discussing with other screenwriters the idea of the previously promised animated version of "The Matrix", and who would do it better - Pixar's style was obviously not suitable, so Angela finally set her sights on the Japanese. , anyway their animation is pretty good, and the relationship between Pixar and Ghibli is also good.
At the same time, as long as the ubiquitous paparazzi seize the opportunity, they will entangle and ask this and that, which is still hot.
The third "Matrix", the new movie "Queen", the HBO documentary "Born to Be Rich", the "Transformers" that is still burning money, etc., I can't wait to reveal all her privacy to the public before.
In addition, there are also big directors who came to the door and invited her to play movie roles.
"It's really disappointing, I thought you came to me to get investment in a new movie." Angela looked back at the hot sun outside, and threw away the USB in her hand and looked at the person in front of her with a smile. Old man, "You must know that investing in your movies is basically a sure-fire business."
"If you want to make sure you don't lose money, your movies are the ones." Steven Spielberg raised his eyebrows, "Although it doesn't make much money, it doesn't invest much, and it has a very good reputation. ."
"Okay, let's take a look at your script first, I will be very embarrassed to be praised like this." Angela shrugged and inserted the USB flash drive into the laptop.
After calling up the document and seeing the title, Angela was stunned. She turned her eyes to Spielberg, and the other party made a gesture of please continue. Angela gathered her thoughts and read it through quickly, then closed the document and pondered for a while before looking at the smiling old man with a half-smile: "Are you going to invite me to play this heroine?"
"Sure," Spielberg spread his hands, "what's the problem?"
"You know, although I have appeared on the big screen again in recent years, it doesn't mean that I will shift my focus to acting." Angela said calmly.
"Don't be like this, Angie, why don't you make your own terms first, and then we can discuss it?" Spielberg said with a smile, "I don't believe you are not tempted."
"Is that so..." Angela tapped her fingers on the table, and suddenly showed a narrow smile: "How about a salary of 20 million?"
