Just being stopped by reporters on the street to ask a few questions, the public opinion immediately changed direction. The headlines in the newspapers were no longer exclusive to "Miss Jordana entered the church alone to grab the bride". Talk about money. Everyone knows that Angela's films will always be controversial, so what kind of film will this supposedly family-related film be? domestic violence? incest? Or something else
"This must be a wonderful work." This is the view of the fanatic Fans.
"We will wait and see, after all, each of her works is very characteristic." This is the view of rational Fans.
"It's hard to say. This can only be analyzed after we have a specific situation." This is the opinion of conservative critics.
"She's done it seven times, but not necessarily proportionally." That's the opinion of the naysayer.
In short, the news of Miss Angel's preparation for a new movie immediately covered all entertainment media, and she had to admit Angela's status, popularity and influence in Hollywood.
Although the news of Jordana's church grabbing Sarah immediately caught up with this news and became popular, the popularity has dropped a lot compared to the beginning, and after a period of fermentation, Jordana and Sarah are completely can appear in public.
"Frankly speaking, I really don't know how to thank you, Angie." Xiao Qiao grabbed Angela's shoulder and said with mixed feelings. Sarah stood beside her and looked at Xiao Qiao and Angela with a smile. There are a few boxes at the door not far away. The limelight had passed, and it was difficult for them to continue living - although Angela didn't care - so they rented a villa outside, packed everything up today and were about to move in.
"I've said it many times, Xiao Qiao, I just pushed you in the back." Angela shrugged.
"Okay, Angie, don't think I'm a fool, I know you're on the phone with my father." Jordana said seriously.
"I did talk to your father on the phone. But Xiao Qiao, if your father really wants to cut ties with you, it's useless. If you can, reconcile as soon as possible." Angela said sincerely.
"I know, I want to, but..." Jordana spread her hands with a wry smile. Although she didn't say it, Angela understood what she meant. Now it's mainly Mr. Brewster who has to untie the knot. Impossible.
"That's it, just seize the moment. You've seen part of the script for the new movie, right? Actually, some things are based on my own experience, of course, not so serious. In short, he is you no matter what. Father." Angela said in one breath, probably feeling a little nagging, smiled apologetically and then changed the subject: "By the way, do you have any plans for the next? The new movie is about to shoot. I need you. Report to the crew at any time.”
"No problem." Jordana agreed without thinking. After all, Angela not only sheltered her and Sarah, but also asked her to play a supporting actress in the new movie. Of course, she should reciprocate. However, Sarah then coughed anxiously, Xiao Qiao was stunned, and her face suddenly became embarrassed.
"What's wrong?" Angela's eyes swept between the two, raising her eyebrows unexpectedly.
"Well... this..." Jordana hesitated and didn't know what to say, while Sarah, who was coughing just now, covered her mouth and looked left and right, looking like "I don't know anything".
"Okay, Xiao Qiao, if you have any questions, just say it directly. Am I the kind of unreasonable person?" Angela looked at the two of them angrily and funny.
"Okay okay, actually... We plan to go to Boston to get married." Xiao Qiao said after taking a deep breath.
"What... what?!" Angela's mouth widened immediately, although she estimated that Jordana would definitely say something surprising, but she never thought that they would actually want to get married! Hell, how many days did they meet? !
"Go to Boston... to get married?" Angela repeated it laboriously, swallowed and finally regained her senses: "Why do you suddenly want to... get married? Massachusetts doesn't seem to accept registrations from non-state residents, right?"
"It doesn't matter, you know, I grew up in New York, and I can still find some relationships there." Jordana has obviously thought about it, "As for why you are getting married now, it is because you don't want this to happen again. Fortunately, Sarah and her fiancé plan to register after the wedding, otherwise the trouble will be doubled."
"So you plan to strike first?" Angela blinked.
"Make it a fact, so that the family will have some scruples." Sarah walked over and took Jordana's arm without saying much, "I don't want to lose Joey again, even if we may be separated in the future, but now I I just want to be with her."
"I can understand." Angela sighed softly, and then frowned as she thought of something: "So you're going to have a wedding next, and then travel for a honeymoon or something?"
"No no no, Angie, don't worry, we're just registering first." Jordana smiled and comforted, "As for the wedding, it won't take place for a long time, because... In any case, we hope that the family can be there... Bless us."
Angela pursed her lips and was silent for a few seconds, and finally nodded: "I believe your wish will come true."
Jordana and Sarah shrugged their shoulders in unison, and their arms around everything tightened. Jordana suddenly thought of something, gave Sarah a narrow look and said again: "You know, Angie, there's still more to leave here. A small reason…”
"Little Joe!" Sarah called out suddenly, looking very embarrassed. But Jordana didn't mean to stop at all, and continued with a smile: "Sarah said that if I continue to live, maybe one day I will fail."
Angela almost didn't squirt out, Sarah's face was even more embarrassed, Jordana kept laughing, but fortunately a voice interjected at this time: "Although I believe that Xiao Qiao will not be like some people, but Sarah's There's nothing wrong with worrying."
"Hey, Jesse, how can you say such a thing." Angela said half annoyed and half annoyed.
"What, poked your sore spot?" Jessica smiled and stretched out her fingers to deliberately poked Angela's waist.
Angela grinned and quickly changed the subject: "Is everything ready outside?"
"Of course, I came in to inform you." Jessica nodded and pointed to the outside.
Jordana and Sarah hurriedly said goodbye, packed up their suitcases and left. Angela and Jessica kept sending them to the front yard, and then returned to the house after watching the car carrying them except the gate of the manor.
"Finally, this matter has been resolved temporarily, and it will be up to them in the future." Angela said with some emotion after coming to the garden.
"Frankly, I didn't expect you to do such a thing." Jessica poured her a cup of black tea.
Angela rubbed her chin and frowned suddenly: "Why do you all say that? Don't I look like the kind of person who likes to do good deeds? Or... I hope I repeat it again and again... "
"Hey, dear, don't be so sensitive, okay?" Jessica hurriedly interrupted her, reaching out and holding Angela's hands, "I just imagined your little emotion, and I hope they can go well too. together."
Saying that, Jessica put her hands on her cheeks, and then looked at her tenderly: "As for me... I'm already very satisfied... At least now... At least compared to those two years... I'm already very satisfied."
"Jess..." Angela looked at Jessica fixedly, not knowing whether it was a sigh or what, when she moved the corner of her mouth, she finally grabbed Jessica's hand and brought it to her mouth and kissed it gently.
"You know, Jesse, I'm doing this because of a Chinese proverb, which is: I'd rather tear down ten gorgeous churches than a couple in love."
"Wow, it sounds like... God would be very upset if he heard that."
"No, no, dear, God will not be unhappy. It should be the church that is really unhappy."
"Why do you say that? How do you know God won't be upset?"
"Don't mess around like that, Jesse, God doesn't have time for us to whine or sigh."
"How do you know God doesn't listen? If so, why do we go to church?"
"Oh, it looks like my dear Jesse wants to have a good theology discussion with me, isn't it?"
"What are you trying to do?! We... we're just discussing issues, we can't just say... oops!"
…
Angela's new movie started at the end of July 2006, because she had to divert the public's attention before, so she has not disclosed the details of the movie, and only throws something after the popularity drops a little. In this way, a large number of reporters came to watch the movie when it was launched. Fortunately, the first shot was an indoor scene, so the shooting location was in the set built in the studio, so the reporters were all blocked in the studio. Outside.
Even so, they still took a photo of Al Pacino and Angela exchanging opinions, and Angela didn't plan to hide the concubine again, so they revealed the name and part of the movie in the reporter's questioning.
"Father, this is the theme of the new film. We all know that fathers often play an exemplary role in the growth of children. This role will have subtle changes as children grow older. There is a conflict, and I want to find one or two in this film." Angela replied.
Such an answer is quite decent, but who is a reporter? A guy who can turn a small thing into a big thing with the touch of a pen. In addition, although Angela said before that she did not know about Jordana's blatantly robbing the bride, but as the popularity of the incident gradually decreased, they also guessed that Angela not only knew that she might have given her advice - otherwise, How could they keep Jordana and the others at home, and how could they throw out news of a new movie at this time without revealing the details
So, you can imagine what the next day's report will be. Although the big newspapers will pretend to be serious, disdain, don’t want or… dare not write something too exaggerated, but it does not mean that their reports are not gimmicky. For example, the title of the Los Angeles Times is "Al Pacino" Renew the father-daughter relationship with Angela Mason! 》
"... It should be the fourth time that Al and Angela will play father and daughter. Although Angela's roles in "The Wire" and "Virtual Idol" are not many, they work well with Al. As for the first time for the two The cooperative "Hide and Seek" is not enough without anyone. So there is every reason to expect them to work together again after a lapse of several years, and this time Angela will try to serve as the editor and director for the first time. Although I don't know the specific content, I believe we will see it. A wonderful film work…”
In contrast, those medium-sized newspapers are a little more unscrupulous. Some newspapers say "Miss Angela seems to have added her own experience to the script of the movie", "We can't help but wonder about Angela and her. What kind of relationship is it with my father?", "Angela wrote movie scripts such as "Hide and Seek" and "The Sixth Sense" more than ten years ago, but she has always denied that the relationship with her father is very bad", "Now that her personal assets are far more than her father's, what will happen to the relationship between father and daughter?" and so on.
"Sometimes I have to admire them. In order to attract attention, I can even turn up things from decades ago." Angela sighed and shook her head while flipping through the newspaper. Because of her age, "Hide and Seek" and "The Sixth Sense" "The script problem is very noisy, and many people even hope that the Children's Association will investigate, even if Angela has repeatedly denied it.
This kind of situation gradually subsided until her family background was revealed, and then as she grew up day by day, she did more and more surprising things and didn't even mention it anymore. Re-appearing in the newspaper can't help but feel ridiculous and... people are different.
"Why, it's rare that you think someone will call on the Children's Association to conduct an inspection this time?" Al put down the other newspaper in his hand and said with a smile. After calculating, he will reach 70 in a few years, although the wrinkles are more than before. There are a lot more, and the bags under the eyes are relatively large, but the facial features that are chiseled by a knife are still a handsome old man.
Especially when he first arrived on the crew to report, with a beard and messy but not messy hair, he had a wild and uninhibited momentum. It's a pity that his character is a cowardly and irritable father, so he shaved off the beard he had grown for a long time, and Al sighed for a long time for this. Then he was tossed by the makeup artist for a while, and finally he was ruined into a look that was hanging out of the corners of his eyes, his eyes were dull, and he seemed to be awake.
However, I have to admire Al's acting skills and charm. As soon as filming starts, he will immediately become a mixed cowardly and irritable father-obviously he did a lot of homework with the script before-but once he takes a break, even with makeup like this can't stop him He exudes the charm of an old man.
"If there is, I will definitely introduce them to you." Angela shrugged, then patted her head thinking of something: "Oh, no, the children's association doesn't work, it should be the youth association, after all, I I'm only 17 now."
"It's weird, why isn't it written as 16 years old? It doesn't matter if you are one year younger according to the storyline, so you are ten years younger." Al looked at Angela with some playfulness.
"Oh? Do you want me to call you Papa Al again?" Anchora held her chin with a half-smiling smile.
Al raised his hands for the first time. This title could have been heard more than ten years ago, but now... let's forget it.
"Speaking of which, although this is the fourth time I've worked with you, it's been almost ten years, and time flies by so quickly." Al changed the subject, "You were really cute and quirky back then. , I still remember... On the set of "Pirates of Fire", your free play was amazing."
"Thank you for the compliment, but please allow me to remind you. Al, this kind of nostalgia happened once yesterday." Angela reminded.
"I know I know, I just want to sigh," Al gestured, "at that time I never thought that you would be so successful now, not to mention beautiful and sexy, not only rich but also so possessive Talent, the youngest best director, the first best female director... Frankly speaking, Angie, if you hadn't worked together before, I would have thought you were a different person."
"I didn't expect you to say such things, Al." Angela said half-jokingly, but her eyes began to wander.
Have talent? Oh, of course, just being nominated for seven consecutive best director and 12 consecutive best screenplay is enough to make people look up, not to mention the pile of trophies. only…
It's okay, now I'll prove myself! The corners of Angela's mouth were slightly upturned. She spent a lot of effort to write and revise this script. She has also thought about this film repeatedly for a long time. With so many years of accumulation, can't she produce a work that is completely her own
Strictly speaking, "John Rabe" is Angela's own work, and it has no similarities with the one in her memory except for the same name. It's just that in Angela's mind, this movie is just a paragraph, a paragraph that says goodbye to the past, and a movie that is completely in Angela Mason's identity and has nothing to do with what she remembers is her work.
"Miss Angela, everything is ready." An assistant came over at this time.
"Very good, I'll be right there." Angela nodded, then stood up and looked at Al with a smile: "So, let's continue? The running-in period is over, and now I'm going to get stricter."
"Only one day to break in? It's too stingy." Although the handsome old man complained, he had already stood up to organize his clothes. He glanced at Angela and felt a strange feeling in his heart, and the girl in front of him seemed to have something more. .
"Although it's my fourth time playing father and daughter, it's my first time working with you as a director. However, I believe it will be a great movie!" Al said.
"Thank you." Angela smiled.
