Hollywood, the largest film industry base in the world, will always be a beautiful sight in Los Angeles, even if it always wants to become the city of Hollywood. Every tourist who travels to Los Angeles from California will be very sorry if they don't go to Hollywood, because it is not guaranteed that they will meet a big star whom they have admired for a long time.
For example, "Hannibal" enjoying delicious macaroni in an Italian restaurant, "Corleone Godfather" drinking coffee comfortably on the street, and "Moulin Rouge Girl Satine" shopping with an assistant, etc. . Of course, if you can meet Miss Angel in Hollywood, it is definitely the most exciting thing.
No one knows Hollywood but doesn't know Angela Mason, in a sense, Miss Angel is a symbol of Hollywood and the whole of America.
Even if she's not as groundbreaking in song and dance as Michael Jackson, even if she's not as well-rounded and brilliant in show business as Barbra Streisand, she's always been an American national icon.
"No one has ever achieved such astonishing achievements like her, and everything she does is based on her own efforts," her fans said.
"She doesn't like us, even if she always smiles in front of us. No way, her news will always be the most valuable." The reporter said happily and helplessly.
"When you're relaxed, you can make fun of her at will, she won't get angry no matter what you say, and she's very approachable; but when it's tough, keeping silent is your only option, otherwise you might be greeted with vitriolic ridicule. Of course, we We all understand her, she is a perfectionist," said the company's employee.
"You never know what she's going to ask, and while it's not a big deal, it feels like she's leading us by the nose. There's nothing we can do about it, because she doesn't care about it with everything she has. What a pity," sighed the photographers who had photographed her.
Her legendary road started at the age of 11, writing scripts and playing important roles in them, and then stepped into the entertainment industry. At that time, people just treated Angela like a normal bright child star with great potential, even if she wrote romantic dramas like "Sleepless in Seattle" or horror movies like "Hide and Seek".
But Angela was quick to correct people's minds, and the Grammys for Best Newcomer and Best Instrumental Performance, and subsequent Oscar nominations for Best Supporting Actress and Best Screenplay, took the public by surprise: This is what a little girl can do thing
As her life experience surfaced, various speculations also emerged. The most famous one is the rumor that "the parents funded to establish a creative group for her, and all the scripts and songs are just in her name". Even though there is a lot of evidence that this is nonsense, people still talk about it.
After repeated explanations to no avail, Angela immediately launched a counterattack - at least in the eyes of many people - using "Blair Witch" to play the public hard, and people have to admit that this girl has an extraordinary imagination. What is even more surprising is that she actually started to be a director, and Angela, who has never received systematic learning, actually directed a film with a peculiar structure based on what she had learned from her long-term observation, and it was also sought after by many young people. .
However, in retrospect, many young people are expected to be stunned because of this. In their opinion, if Angela hadn't been encouraged because of this, how could they waste their music career and become a director.
Angela stumbling over the director's movie—
The second work was a failure, but then regained a city with the same type of film - but did not give up her work as a screenwriter, and a classic and widely influential film was born from her hands, such as "Titanic" ” or “The Matrix” and so on. Moreover, she won the best soundtrack Oscar for the first time she was responsible for the soundtrack of a movie, which showed her talent and strength in music. Perlman, who had invited her to be a guest of the concert, regretted more than once: It’s a pity that Angela is not herself. s student.
Similarly, Angela did not give up her dream of directing, and then gave a surprise to those who followed her at the end of 1998. With "American Beauty" nominated for best director at the age of 18, it is not only the youngest nominated best director, but also the youngest nominated best female director.
Well, this has become one of the reasons for her fans to beat their chests. If it wasn't for the Film Academy's nomination of Angela as the best director, how could she have fallen into the movie and couldn't come out? Well, in short, their idols are absolutely right.
Since then, Angela has been out of control on the way to directing, and she has started to create her own film works at the rate of one film per year. For this reason, she did not hesitate to reduce her efforts in music, and even her acting and screenwriting began to change slowly. less. Peter Jackson finally persuaded her to play Legolas instead, but she was so upset that the entire crew had to make adjustments for her again and again. If it wasn't for her excellent performance, Peter Jackson Must be crazy.
"Love it and hate it!" Peter Jackson's line was once echoed by producers, photographers, magazine editors, and studio bosses who had worked with Angela.
This kind of pay, the harvest is also huge, from 1998 to 2004 was nominated for the best director 7 times in a row! The subjects she directs include the crisis of the middle class, the disaster of World War II, biography, homosexuality, collisions between people, politics, etc. The subject matter is different almost every year, and each time she directs will cause controversy. Each time she slapped people who didn't think she was a good fit.
Although, for one reason or another, she has lost 6 times in a row in the best director - the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has been under pressure for this, especially the "Pianist" session, which was almost attacked by a crowd - But she finally got her honor after being nominated for the seventh time in a row, and she was only 24 years old at this time.
Oscar's youngest best director, Oscar's first best female director, Oscar's youngest best female director, as well as 7 consecutive best director nominations and so on, all kinds of records continue to improve her. 's halo. These achievements and her age have become an extreme contrast. There are basically very few people, especially women, who have achieved this level. In addition, she is so beautiful, so people unconsciously regard her as a beautiful modern woman in their hearts. and a model of wisdom.
Moreover, the biggest difference between Angela and other big stars and directors is that she is very rich!
That's right, she is very rich. Although the income of the big stars is very high, there is no one who can have the money to her level. Even though Angela was born in a wealthy family, with a father who has a net worth of 20 billion and a mother who is inextricably linked to the British royal family, she basically makes money by herself, and her father only helps her a little.
Angela's first investment as early as 1994 - an injection into Pixar - made her the youngest billionaire in history.
Then she bought the North American screening rights of "Titanic" with James Cameron in a forward-looking way, and she received a net profit of 150 million US dollars! Then the 150 million was invested in Apple - which was undoubtedly a bad decision in the eyes of the industry at the time, and Jobs was not necessarily able to save the crumbling Apple. But now, the facts have proved how unique Angela's vision is.
After that, he sold Cisco shares to cash out before the Internet bubble, and then purposefully acquired many IT stocks, such as eBay, Yahoo, Google and so on, during the downturn in the IT industry. With the recovery of the IT industry, she also jumped up every three days on the "Forbes" rich list, until after Google went public in 2004, it directly ranked third with a net worth of 40 billion, second only to On Gates and Buffett.
When "Forbes" announced the news, many people were so surprised that they didn't know what to say, and just bought a few stocks to put the most wealthy woman before, Alice Waugh, the eldest daughter of the founder of Walmart in her fifties. Duncan and the 80-year-old head of L'Oreal, Liliane Bettencourt, were far behind. What makes people speechless is that she also repeatedly stressed that she has no business talent.
"Financial statements are probably the only business and finance-related information that I can understand. I may be able to master some business skills through learning, but it is difficult for me to make accurate judgments in a large amount of financial information. ." This is what Angela said in "Born Rich", a documentary about the life experiences of the children of the richest families in the world, which aired in 2003 on HOB.
When she said this before, people chose to believe it, but as her wealth became more and more tired, especially after she ranked third in the world, she really didn't know what to say. Buffett is still running his own fund, so he can buy and sell in the financial world; Gates has at least developed Microsoft into a leading large-scale IT enterprise; but what about her? After buying a few stocks, they didn't move, except to ensure that the percentage of holdings remained unchanged. I didn't expect that she would buy one right away. Could she be the god of stocks
"I'm just optimistic about the prospects of the IT industry and keep myself from being greedy. Just like when I'm making a movie, I always tell myself to understand what you know and master, and what you don't know and ask others for advice. I will choose to buy those stocks in the IT industry, all based on the detailed information given by the consultant." Angela made such an answer in the documentary "Born to be Rich".
Although this answer is not very satisfactory, it is acceptable. After all, Pixar has a market value of nearly 20 billion, and she takes at least one-third of the credit. As long as she approves of the movie, it will basically sell well, such as "Harry Wave" Special" series.
She is the girl kissed by God, the angel of Hollywood. People say so.
