"Oh, come on, Dad, do you think those tabloid reports are more credible than your daughter's? Do you really think I'm saying no to my father by making this film? Or against myself. Family?" Angela put her hands on the round table in the garden, leaning forward and looking down at her father angrily.
"Who knows?" Father shrugged with a smile, "Besides, the Los Angeles Evening News is not a tabloid."
"But that doesn't mean they won't write random things!" Angela waved her arms excitedly, "Reporters know how to write to please their readers. The difference between big newspapers and tabloids lies in the degree of exaggeration. The former More clarity on where the boundaries are—I thought you knew that, Dad! I didn't forget, what the LA Evening News did ten years ago!"
"Miss Angel's Memories of First Rebellion Against Her Father? ", this is the title of a report of the Los Angeles Evening News after Angela's interview on Halloween, it is very big and eye-catching. The article first begins with the revealed movie plot, attaches some details to various things in Angela's life in detail, and then talks about several cooperations with Al, such as "Why did you invite Al? Is Pacino playing the role of father really just because he has worked together before? You know that was ten years ago - of course, this must be one of the important factors. But at the same time, is it also implicitly taking this opportunity to Is there a catharsis on the father in the movie? After all, in the first three collaborations between Angela and Al, except for "Virtual Idol", Al's father image is the kind of character with a sense of oppression, especially "Hide and Seek"!"
Of course, these affiliated associations are all based on speculation, and the author himself said that these are just one-sided remarks for reference only, so it is not easy to find fault with each other. If it's just like this, it's fine. As long as they don't insist that this is the truth, Angela will turn a blind eye and ignore it. But this report didn't know what was going on, and it turned out that she had invested in Pixar in the back.
"It is said that in 1993, Angela wanted to invest in Pixar because she was optimistic about computer animation, but as her father, Mr. Jared objected, and Angela had to find information in the field that she was not good at to convince My own father. According to people familiar with the matter, Angela complains a few times every time she talks about it.”
God knows where these guys got the news, maybe the Pixar staff accidentally leaked it? Anyway, Angela has talked about it in different places and at different times. Well, it's a complaint, but it's mostly a joke, like a little joke when chatting about the past. But being written in this way by the newspaper, guided by a little vocabulary, gives the impression that she has suffered a lot of grievances at the beginning. It is no wonder that her father would ask her around the corner: If she rejected this investment at the beginning, what would she do now? Will there be a falling out with the family
In fact, I can't blame my father for thinking too much, who made Angela refuse to fully reveal the specific content of the new movie. According to the plot known to the public, after the simplification, the daughter living in a single-parent family gradually grew up, and the father's education method went wrong, so there were many contradictions. When the daughter wanted to go to Hollywood to pursue her dream after graduating from high school, the two quarreled again, and finally the daughter slammed away.
"From what has been revealed, Angela's new film seems to be no different from a traditional youth film, but as a Hollywood-famous Miss Angel, will she really make such a film? Although we have already seen some films made in Angela has also revealed a lot of details about the photos on the set, but you should take a reserved attitude until the specific content appears. After all, Angela's record is obvious to all."
This is an article in The Hollywood Reporter, and everyone can't help but guess what Angela is trying to express in this movie, and she certainly won't make a simple movie. While every big-name director gets this treatment—especially those known for being paradoxical—there's clearly a lot more speculation about this "Father," who made Angela slapped in the face? Although basically the other side came over to endure.
Too much speculation will inevitably lead to her life, and Angela's experience itself is legendary enough that many publishers want to write her biography - Vincent Maxime, because of Angela An old friend of the father's father who took the opportunity to become a North American publisher when he went to the North American publishing rights of "Harry Potter" has also scolded her several times - there are even several so-called unauthorized biographies on the market, so Can't blame others for leaning on it.
"Okay, don't get excited, dear, I can always read these reports as novels!" Father smiled and spread his hands.
Angela still wanted to emphasize something, but luckily her mother came over with her younger siblings at this time, which relieved her father.
"Sister!" Willie ran directly to Angela and jumped up, hugging her sister on all fours like a koala. Ike, who was following behind, hesitated for a while, and only after Willie came down did he step forward and hug Angela lightly.
"What's the matter, Ike?" Angela noticed that her younger brother had a different expression.
"It's nothing." Ike shrugged in disguise.
"Ike lost the basketball game and has been depressed for several days." Willie grimaced beside him.
"I'm not depressed!" Ike retorted immediately, staring at his twin sister condescendingly.
The two children are almost 13 years old, Willie is okay, and has maintained an average height of 4 feet 7 inches for this age, while Ike is growing faster, and they are already 5 feet 6 inches, almost taller than dimension. Li half head.
Willie snorted and grimaced again, but she didn't speak again. Gone are the days of casually bullying Ike.
"Okay, you two." Angela shook her head amusingly, then looked at Ike: "It's just a game of basketball, don't worry about it, Ike, your sports have always been great... Except for American football. "
"If it wasn't for my mother's permission, even if I didn't like it, I could still be a quarterback." Ike immediately puffed up his chest proudly. No wonder he did this. In school, Ike's homework is not only A+, but also sports. He has never fallen behind in school. He is very good at basketball and baseball. In addition, he has been trained by his mother to be quite graceful, and he has never stopped kung fu practice. He is very popular in school - of course, always better than Anji. Pull this perverted sister.
"Okay, okay, got it!" Angela patted Ike's shoulder heavily and turned to leave, but Ike immediately stopped her: "Sister!"
"What's wrong?" Angela looked back at him incomprehensibly.
After hesitating for a few seconds, Ike leaned into her ear with a worried voice, and asked hesitantly in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "You... do you... do you have something with my father... what... "
"Ike!" Angela whispered, dumbfounded, "How can you think like this? Do you also think that the things published in the tabloids are the truth? Me and Dad... Can't you see it?"
"The Los Angeles Evening News isn't a tabloid," Ike muttered. "Besides, you rarely come back here now."
Really father and son, even the tone is exactly the same. Angela rolled her eyes in her heart, but the last sentence was right. In the past two years, she seldom returned to her parents' house except for festivals.
"Okay, Ike, I know you're worried about me, trust me, nothing is wrong, I love Mom and Dad, and I love you and Willie too." Angela patted her brother's shoulder again, then lowered her head He kissed lightly on his cheek, "That's it, be happy. If you lose this basketball, you can win it back in the next game!"
After Angela finished speaking, she turned around and walked towards her parents. The poor younger brother blushed, with a hint of gloom in his eyes, and finally sighed and walked over.
Family gatherings are as harmonious as ever, even if there are always awkward things going on. Needless to say before, Wei Li privately expressed that she wanted to study fashion design, and hoped that her sister could be her model.
"I don't want to hear any refusal or rejection, don't forget, my dear sister, you have a handle on me." Willie said triumphantly, smiling like a little devil, Angela just rolled her eyes to respond .
Also, my mother asked her in private why she didn't bring her lover here to the party, but, like Willie, her question was so... speechless.
"Anyway, you have 7 lovers, can't you just bring any one? If you want to bring two or even... all of them, we... can accept it." That's what my mother said, with a smile that's not a smile. Not thinking about anything.
Angela could only sneer at Nuo Nuo, feeling a little regretful in her heart, and she would not have told her father about it if she had known this.
After the family reunion, Angela plunged headlong into the studio again and started working on a new film. Although she explained the idea of the new movie through various means, such as interviews, TV shows and blog updates.
It's a pity that because many places still need to be kept secret and can't disclose too much, and the public has an extraordinary interest in the gossip of celebrities' private lives - not to mention Miss Angel's -, all kinds of speculations are still springing up. Especially on the Internet, it is endless, and fortunately, most of the comments are biased towards Angela.
Even so, Angela still doesn't think that letting things go is a good thing, but there is no way to stop it for a while, so she has to speed up the post-production work and edit a trailer earlier, which may divert the public's attention.
This is not impossible, although it has only been over a month in post-production so far, the progress is quite rapid. Angela has already sketched out almost every sub-shot in her mind, the editing is naturally very smooth, and even the theme song is written in the middle of the editing - I have to say that inspiration is indeed very important for creation.
However, this song is different from what Angela thought at first. She originally planned to write a theme song related to her father, but after thinking about it, it seemed a little unfair. She wrote a song for her mother almost ten years ago. If the movie tells a story about her father, and the same song is accompanied by the same song, then... will she be called eccentric by her mother
For this reason, Angela had to temporarily put aside the idea of creating the theme song. When editing a certain scene, it was necessary to compare a picture with a brighter sun. Angela, who had been looking at the screen on the way, suddenly got an inspiration, and then wrote the song called "Sunshine", which tells the story of as long as you think more about others , After understanding each other, the contradiction will always be the past song.
Walter Bigkins, who composed the film, also got a lot of inspiration from it and accelerated the speed of composing the score - although Angela would like to compose the film herself, her main energy must be used on editing and the quality and quantity must be maintained. No loss, so I invited other composers. Fortunately, Walter's soundtrack was inspired by the theme song she wrote, which is very appetizing.
So, at the end of November, around Thanksgiving, the first trailer for Angela's group movie "Father" came out.
"You are my daughter... I hope you can grow up happily, I hope you will not be hurt, I hope that if one day I have to let go, there will be another pair of hands to protect you..." The opening is a hoarse male monologue , with the sound of vicissitudes, the picture gradually revealed, because the nostalgic atmosphere deliberately created seems a little dim and outdated.
A little girl looked at the shaking camera coldly and awkwardly. Although she didn't look very friendly, her round face and soft and delicate facial features made her look very cute.
"… I tried my best, I know I'm not good enough, but I'm always doing my best. Sometimes I'm annoyed, why can't I make you happy? Sometimes I'm angry, why can't you understand me ? Anyway, I still try my best, because you are my daughter and I love you…”
Along with this monologue, coupled with the piano sound that sounds like the finishing touch from time to time, the dim picture is constantly changing. The little girl changed from being indifferent at first to being well-behaved to being lively, and then gradually chased by the camera. of growing up. Finally, as the hoarse male monologue ends, the camera slowly fades out.
What follows is a series of fast and dizzying scenes, which quickly explain the contradictions and conflicts between the daughter and the father in terms of friend conversations, family atmosphere, neighbor visits, etc.
"No, Bonnie, you shouldn't say things like that. You don't know what happened to me."
"I just want you to respect me a little bit, Chrissy!"
"Don't let me stay here, even the air I breathe weighs me down here!"
Of course, there is no shortage of soothing shots, wandering with friends in the park after the rain, wandering lonely on the lively street, excited and carnival after getting good news. Every shot is brilliantly handled, either peaceful and beautiful or warm and intense, not to mention the lines that are occasionally puzzlingly detailed.
In the end, with the sentence "You can't control my life", the daughter broke out of the house and hurriedly stopped a taxi to get on and leave. The father who chased him stopped on the street and watched the taxi get more and more away. farther.
This is the first trailer for "Father". Originally, the public had made countless speculations about this new movie. After the trailer came out, these speculations became even more.
"Maybe Angela wants to dig deeper into the rift between parent and child, but that could turn out to be a thankless act, and if she can pull back a little bit of the sharpness she's shown before maybe we'll see a A completely different film from her previous work. But will she take it back?" wrote one well-known film critic in his column.
"From the information revealed by the lines in the trailer, we can find that the contradiction between the father and the daughter is not as sharp as we thought, but it is very awkward. Can you please tell us what you think? In addition, I am very Loved the episode where Al and Angela glared at each other, both did a great job." This was a popular thread on a forum.
"The trailer looks good, but we all know that sometimes the best thing about a movie is the trailer. I hope Angela doesn't lose her old spirit and talent." In a tabloid that turns against Angela 's report.
Although it caused a lot of repercussions, Angela did not take it to heart, and rarely answered questions when surrounded by reporters.
Even, she was a little proud in her heart: after all, it still achieved results.
That's right, after the trailer was broadcast, the people who were discussing the connection between the movie and Angela's family turned around and began to guess what kind of story the movie wanted to tell, which naturally made Angela in a good mood.
However, depressing things still happen at any time. For example, during Thanksgiving at home, my mother brought up that embarrassing topic again.
"Okay, Mom, if I want to, I'll bring someone here." Angela said to her mother half resentfully and half complaining.
Frankly speaking, it's not that she hasn't thought about taking someone to spend Thanksgiving at her parents' house. Although she has been isolated a few times before and was tested on Halloween, the general situation has not changed. But the problem is that all the lovers have expressed their refusal.
"Don't think you're the only one spending Thanksgiving with your parents." Natalie lifted her chin slightly.
"There's very little time to go back in a year, so..." Avril shrugged.
"You're not alone anyway." Kate's eyes were meaningful.
Very well, they obviously don't plan to let me go, and I won't be at peace if I don't tease me twice in these small places. Should I be so teased by them? Well... it should be. Angie lowered her head and thought in dejection, and then became very resentful.
In retaliation for Halloween in New York, she suggested that everyone live at Natalie's villa on Long Island. She is very familiar with that villa. If everyone lives in it, there will be two people in a bedroom. There will always be someone who can't escape the palm of your hand.
Unfortunately, on the night of arriving at the villa, Natalie suggested that everyone sleep together. They emptied one bedroom, put a thick carpet on the floor, and slept on it together. If they don't agree, they can choose any other room. Never stop.
Angela never imagined that her dream of being slept together would be realized in such a tragic situation. She could do nothing with delicious "food" right in front of her. She couldn't do anything but straighten her body. 7 For sharp eyes, the resentment generated in this situation can be imagined!
