Yes, Angela has a lot of things to do again, not to mention that 16 new songs from 8 concerts are enough for her to think about it, not to mention she has to cooperate with the preparations for the concert and even hold a low-key on-site in the city. visit.
to be honest. The new songs of the other 6 concerts are not bad. Whether it is the United States, the United Kingdom, or Australia or Canada, all of them are mainly in English. As long as Angela is given enough time to come up with 10 high-quality songs, there is no problem. As for France, the same is true. After all, she is relatively proficient in French. At most, the efficiency is a little worse than that of writing English songs. But Japan and China are more difficult, because Angela wants to write the lyrics in Japanese and Chinese for the four new songs released at the two concerts in Tokyo and Shanghai.
Japanese is fairly simple, she just needs to compose a good song and then ask those more famous Japanese lyricists to help fill in the lyrics. Anyway, her Japanese is not very good. Besides, Angela doesn't plan to put more effort into this. Anyway, this is just to appease the Japanese a little bit and explain that the new Chinese songs will be released in the next Shanghai concert without discrimination - after all, those biases are better buried in the heart, and it is better to wear a fair hat - she I still remember some good Japanese songs in my head, so the most troublesome ones are Chinese songs.
It really feels like shooting yourself in the foot. Although Angela can also use the same method to compose a good song and invite a certain Lin and Fang to fill in the lyrics - of course, she will not deal with the past with a melody that she can still remember like a Japanese song, and she will get some points for her first concert in China. Come out with sincerity. But the question is, who made her "create" "Peacock Flying Southeast" and "Mudanjiang" 10 years ago
There is a big difference between filling in Chinese lyrics and filling in English lyrics. Compared with English lyrics, Chinese lyrics pay more attention to the matching of rhythm, especially the matching of pronunciation of words and songs. Simply put, it is easy to read. It sounds easy but it's really hard to do because there's more to the lyrics than the rhythm. If it's just a rap type of rap, it's fine. If you don't work on the rhythm and the meaning of the words if you follow the Chinese style, the final product will definitely be bad. So he still can not be regarded as the top level.
So unless Angela just wants to write an ordinary Chinese song, then she has to work hard and think about it, the only consolation is that she needs to write a song. And the lyrics of another song can invite others. Even so, the pressure is still not even if it can't reach the level of "Peacock Flying Southeast" or "Mudanjiang", at least the lyrics of another song can't be too much, otherwise it will not look good on the skin.
In addition, Angela is also busy with film matters. Although most of her energy is now on concerts, it does not mean that she can ignore the film department. After all, although she has no position in the film department, she has more right to speak than anyone else, who makes every high-investment and high-box-office movie inextricably linked to her
So even with the addition of McKinley's ability under the suggestion of Shijira, the film department makes more money than it loses in the middle-invested movies, but in some aspects, it is still necessary to ask Angela's advice from time to time. Opinion. For example, if so many movies have already been made and have received good returns, can "Iron Man" be put on the agenda; or the director of "Transformers 2" since James Cameron went to work on a new movie Has not been settled. In the end who will take over is better and so on and so on.
"I still think it will be better to wait until the filming starts next year. Don't worry about the actors, I already have a candidate in my heart." Angela said about the arrangement of "Iron Man".
She knew that they were in a hurry. After all, the adaptation rights of "Iron Man" had been bought for a long time, and they should be converted into profits, but the conversion must be maximized. As for the fee paid to Marvel, to be honest, Angela really wanted to advise Ed that they bought Marvel. Anyway, the current Pixar is not the Pixar of another world. With the release of blockbuster animations and movies, plus the release of the latest expansion of "The Sims 2" and the much-anticipated "World of Warcraft", it will be carried out within the end of the year. According to the test, it can be regarded as a big company in Hollywood.
Of course, maybe Angela would suggest that, but whether to do it and how to do it is up to Ed and the others!
As for the director of "Transformers 2", she has no good way. The reason why she was able to persuade Cameron at the beginning was that she promised to invest in the other party's new movie and promised not to interfere. Now she can't go back, right
But this guy
The first film was really well done. The investment of more than 200 million US dollars was not in vain at all. The plot was compact and relaxed, and it was indeed a master of storytelling, but it also created a lot of obstacles for the successor. Come to think of it, what a terrible thing it would be if the successor made something that wasn't accepted by the audiences who were fed up with the first movie.
Angela has also considered Michael Bay, at least this guy can make up for other deficiencies with hot scenes. It's just that Michael Bay is notorious for not liking being a successor, and the return of the people who went to contact proved it.
There are too few to choose from, just a handful of people like Gore Verbinski and Sam Raimi.
"My opinion is that Michael Bay is still the first choice. This year's "Escape from Clone Island" made DreamWorks lose money. He must be eager to make a comeback, so he might as well make a fuss about it. Sam Raimi In fact, it’s not bad, if it doesn’t conflict with the schedule of “Spider-Man 3”, after all, the male protagonist is also a student like Peter Parker... Well, my opinion is only for reference, the specific things are up to you to decide.” This is Angela Thoughts on Transformers 3.
In addition, there are actually many more, but the less important ones were all postponed by Angela under the pretext of being busy with the concert.
However, there's more to it than that, another important thing is... Enforcing the agreement in Hawaii: schedule appointments with everyone reasonably, and try to be as fair, impartial, and open as possible!
Avril, Jessica, and Kate are currently living in Los Angeles, so Angela must allocate their time well, otherwise, whether it is Avril's straightforward questioning, Kate's hinting reminder, or Jessica's gentle talk, it will make the difference. She suddenly felt a very heavy sense of guilt, and then felt restless all day. And when Liv and Scarlett came over from New York, she had to readjust to make sure everyone had enough time. Fortunately, Kayla couldn't come to film "Pride and Prejudice" in London, otherwise I don't know what will happen. Even so, if Angela forgot to return her e-mail within a certain period of time, the urgent call would immediately come from the other side of the Atlantic.
"I'm at work at all, where's the date!" Angela complained to Lily more than once in private, but unfortunately every time it was only met with unsympathetic ridicule: "This has a proper noun called: deserve it!"
deserve it? Of course, Angela actually thinks so in her heart, so she's not bored with spending time with them to coax them, and it's a great pleasure to date no matter who it is, except... in bed.
Well, sometimes it's good, like when you're tired from chatting, you just hug each other and fall asleep; but sometimes...
As I said before, something is becoming a reality little by little. Beginning with Kayla, Avril, Scarlett, and once upon a time those who were at her mercy are now starting to... "Turn over serfs and sing"!
"I'm so happy, you're a hundred times better than what Lindsay said!" Avril pressed Angela, who was squinting and blushing, against the wall of the bathtub, fiddling with her earlobe with her small tongue, and in a tone of uncontrollable excitement said.
"You know, Angie, I used to look forward to this day very, very much." Scarlet said excitedly when she pressed Angela, who was unable to resist, on the long table and put her hand into her cutie.
"I don't want to live this kind of life!" Angela roared so miserably and angrily in the bathroom more than once.
It's a pity that these things will not be changed because of her roar. God seems to think that she owes them too much, so she wants her to make up for it while giving her a chance. In short, Angela is completely fucked up this time, no matter what she does—putting on all sorts of uniforms as Kate asks, short skirts and black stockings for Jessica, mannequins for Liv, naked for Avril Lavigne Playing the guitar, jumping off clothes for Scarlett and discussing how to please them, in exchange for them are repeated violations that cannot be resisted.
Jessica is slightly better, as gentle as always, and occasionally lets her go, but for the overall situation, this is just a drop in the bucket, so Angela is too—miserable!
"Huh? What?" Angela, who recovered, looked at everyone in a trance, and the people around couldn't help but be speechless.
"Sorry, there are... too many issues to think about recently, so I lost my mind." Angela immediately reacted and explained with an apologetic smile and gestures.
"Then you can completely push this matter to the back and finish the concert first. You don't have to hurry anyway, right?" said the man sitting in the fourth position on the right of the long table in the conference room.
"Yes, I know. I just want to ask everyone's opinions and leave some impressions. After the concert is over next year, I can start preparations and filming as soon as possible." Angela shrugged, then looked at McKinley on the left.
"Well... I said it just now, Miss Angela, I don't have too many opinions," McKinley spread his hands, Angela couldn't help but touched his nose embarrassedly because of his distraction. Fortunately, the other party didn't care, he Continuing: "It's just that this script seems... not quite the same as your previous style."
"Not quite the same?" Angela blinked, "What style do you think I used to be?"
"Almost every time there is a controversy," McKinley replied after thinking about it.
"That means this script is too mediocre?" Angela looked at him with interest.
"I can't say that. Some scripts seem mediocre, but the actual shooting is amazing. In fact, if "The Pianist" only reads the script, many people will feel mediocre." McKinley explained briefly.
"Okay, I know what you mean," Angela nodded. "It's just that the plot is a bit cliché, right? But, McKinley, don't you think it's tiresome to keep arguing all the time? I'm now Just wanted to tell a story, a story between a father and a daughter."
"I understand, Miss Angela, we'll make a record so we can start planning anytime after the concert," McKinley said.
"Thank you very much, by the way, I have already been selected for the role of father. Do you have candidates for the role of daughter?" Angela, who was about to end the meeting, suddenly asked again.
The people in the conference room looked at me and I looked at you. They obviously didn't expect Angela to have such a problem, so the names they said were familiar to Angela:
"Jessica Alba?"
"Scarlett Johansson?.
"Lindsay Lohan?"
…
"Okay, gentlemen," Angela knocked on the table angrily and funny after hearing these names and grinding her teeth in secret, "Believe me, I am more familiar with them than you, so before that, I I've thought about it. Frankly speaking, they each have their own strengths and weaknesses, and what I need is someone who fits the role 99 percent of the time."
Everyone closed their mouths, and McKinley, who had not spoken for a long time, opened his mouth: "Can you first ask in your heart, who is the person who plays the father?"
"He's not tall, he has a temper, he's good at hiding his emotions, but he's explosive - Al Pacino, there's nothing more suitable than him." Angela shrugged, "In fact, from the last few paragraphs, you should As you can see, the character was tailored to Al's image—the one that was portrayed in the movie."
There was a low voice of conversation in the conference room immediately, and after exchanging countless glances to confirm that everyone agreed Miss?"
"Myself?" Angela was stunned for about ten seconds, then shook her head, "No, no, McGinn. I don't think I'm a good fit, you know, I never thought it was a good thing for a director to be an actor. , it's easy to get distracted. I know there are many examples of those that have been successful, but special doesn't mean universal, and I prefer to be a calm bystander."
Speaking of which, she paused and said jokingly: "And I'm already 25 years old, so I'm going to play a high school student, even if it's an 18-year-old high school student... I'm already 25 years old."
Angela suddenly screamed: "God! I'm 25 years old! How can I be 25 years old!"
This sudden high-frequency sound wave made all the people in the conference room feel the urge to cover their ears.
"Sure enough, you can't raise your age with a woman," McKinley shook his head and whispered to the people around him, "especially beautiful women!"
