"It's only been a month since she won best supporting actress for a record-breaking third time at the Academy Awards, and Miss Angel's new movie is on the pier in Long Beach again, and it seems she feels like she's rested enough after more than a year. , So I went back to the movie and started the previous practice of one work every year. Will this be the end of Hollywood directors

Well, this is a joke. Anyway, Angela has not been nominated for Best Director at this year's Oscars, so everyone can breathe a sigh of relief. Of course, it's only a slight sigh of relief, because only God knows what stunned Angela will do.

According to people familiar with the matter, this new film is a suspenseful story about an FBI agent solving a case. As we all know, Angela's works have always paid attention to details. This time, she specially sought support from the Los Angeles branch of the FBI. She not only invited FBI agents to serve as consultants, but also visited many retired agents and did a lot of preparation work.

Frankly speaking, it's normal for Miss Angel to turn her attention to the subject of the investigation this time - of course, the normal thing here is that she has chosen a new subject, anyway, she has only filmed the same subject once so far. Movie. As for this work? Sorry, it's not like forecasting. We all know that Angela has never been polite to those who questioned her. When asked on the set yesterday evening why she was suddenly interested in this subject matter, she once said that it was her own business to be interested in what subject matter, and she would naturally want to make it when she suddenly got inspiration, and she did not need to report to others. Or ask for instructions. So let's wait and see what kind of works Miss Angel will bring us this time. "Angela flipped through the newspaper and read today's entertainment news aloud in a cadenced tones, and it was undeniable that she read very well.

Unfortunately, this expression was in vain. Xia Xia and Lu Lu kept chatting. Natalie was absent-mindedly cutting the bread, but Alizee glanced at her but immediately lowered her head indifferently and continued to eat breakfast.

"Really, I don't respect people at all." Angela pouted and put away the newspaper.

"What?" Natalie asked, returning to her senses at this time.

"No, it's nothing... just expressed some emotion about the newspaper report." Angela shrugged.

"Don't you care what they say?" Natalie picked up the sliced bread with her middle finger and thumb, put it in her mouth, took a small bite, and then chewed it slowly. This action made her less attractive.

Angela looked a little dumbfounded, but then she rolled her eyes covertly, and Natalie really didn't listen to the report she just read.

"Of course I don't care, but it's okay to see it as a joke." Angela said with a sigh.

As she said before, the big newspapers are actually very measured. For example, the article I just read was from the "Los Angeles Times", and it was basically about movies, and no gossip was mentioned. Although the tabloids waved the photos and shouted loudly, they even enlarged and published the photo of Angela thrushing Natafe. Unfortunately, Angela posted several photos on her blog that night, including Xia Xia, Lulu, and Lindsay. The photos inside, so no matter how much they swear they have an unusual relationship, it won't be much convincing.

After breakfast, everyone began to prepare to go out, but Xia Xia and Lu Lu did not plan to follow them to the studio today.

"Lindsay said she wanted to be my guide to show me around Los Angeles, so I won't go to the studio today." Xia Xia said with a smile, and then deliberately winked her eyes, "Besides, don't you also want us to make trouble? ?"

Faced with this situation, Angela could only raise her hands to express her helplessness, and then she thought of something and said, "Tell Lindsay, if she does anything against the rules while I'm away, I won't go around it. she!"

"Okay, okay, got it," Lulu waved her hand in disapproval, "really, we are not children, Anji is getting more and more nagging and more and more like an aunt, and she is already old."

What... what does it mean to be old? ! Angela's eyes twitched as she stared at the car that was carrying the two guys away. It was only her 27th birthday last month! But this kind of indignation quickly turned into depression and depression, no wonder, plus I have lived for almost 57 years in my last life, although I have forgotten many things and are still naive in some aspects - there are many old and young children in the world. The combined age of her previous life could be called an old child - but her mentality was slowly changing, and her relationship with Xia Xia and the others was weird and unusual, so she cared about them in her own way and nagged. A few sentences are unavoidable.

When Lindsay finished work last night, she suggested to Xia Xia and Lulu to go to a nightclub to have a look. But Angela refuted it mercilessly, even if Xia Xia protested loudly.

"I didn't go to a nightclub when I was in London. My friends often held parties there. Could something happen?!" Xia Xia said dissatisfiedly.

"Honey, this is America, this is Los Angeles, and God knows what's going to happen. Also, the rule here is 21 to drink, and while most people see this law as nothing, think about it, if it's in the paper tomorrow What kind of turmoil will Liden get out of the 'Hogwarts' Miss Wizard nightclub to get drunk." Although Angela used a friendly address, the irresistible tone in her tone was very obvious.

Seeing this, Lulu, who wanted to help and said a few words, suddenly shrank back, and Lindsay, who was reprimanded, tried her best to pretend that she had nothing to do with her. Although Xia Xia was a little unhappy, she could only accept it.

"To be honest, even I think you're a little too much in control." Natalie suddenly said to Angela when she got into the car and was about to head to the Long Beach Pier studio.

Angela didn't refute, just shrugged: "I know, I just... don't want them to have any trouble."

Having said that, she deliberately gave Natalie a teasing smile: "Don't you mean something else when you say this?"

Natalie glared at her, snorted softly and did not change the subject: "If it's Lindsay, it's justified that you have such worries, but Xia Xia doesn't. She is a smart girl and knows how to What to do and what not to do. Although she is heartless in giggling in front of you, it doesn't mean that she will do the same in other things."

The surprised look flashed across Angela's face, what to say to Natalie's keen observation? Even Lindsay's problem could be seen. However, she immediately shook her head and wanted to continue changing the subject. Then I heard Natalie sigh clearly.

Natalie turned her head and looked at Angela with a complex look of thinking, helplessness, and self-deprecation: "Although you are used to this, I have to admit that you have a... a completely relaxing charm. ."

Angela scratched her face and coughed lightly: "Okay, don't show off your psychological knowledge here, I know you have research in this area, but don't always treat me as a research object, okay?"

Seeing that Natalie didn't speak anymore, Angela continued: "Actually, I would treat Xia Xia and Lulu like that, of course, because of unnecessary worries, but also for the sake of their future. You know, Xia Xia and Lulu are now positioned as teen idols, and the fans in the group are basically 16 and 7 teens, if they do something inappropriate, the parents' saliva alone is enough for them."

Consider the turmoil that Daniel caused after his naked performance in "Horse Love", of course, he doesn't seem to have that plan right now, but if he did "again" it would be the same, after all, "Harry Porter's image is deeply rooted in people's hearts.

The same goes for "Hermione", so Angela rejects Xia with the question "What would happen if news such as Miss Wizard's drunkenness in 'Hogwarts' was published in the newspapers tomorrow?" summer.

"This is the helplessness of teen idols. I have experienced this so I know it very well." Angela shrugged, and then looked at Natalie with a mocking look: "Speaking of which, you avoided this time very well."

"I'm not the same as you, and no one is like you, great genius." Natalie said casually, and then brought the topic back: "But they can't be teen idols forever, if they don't want to do it Changing words will definitely be regretted in the future, like Mike - you know who I'm talking about, right?"

"Macaulay King, performed in the "Annie Diary" stage play." Angela nodded and sighed leisurely.

What Natalie said is exactly what Angela is worried about. Lindsay is okay, and now she has gradually focused on the movie, releasing singles and so on is now more of a ticket, although she is talented in music. It's okay; Lulu is a little too high. Although she has played both a supporting role and a leading role in several youth movies in recent years, she has also released two singles. There are many young people. Popularity is still far from the point of single-handedly being the leader; as for Xia Xia, not to mention, the "Harry Potter" series has achieved her and limited her, and she wants to transform after the completion of these seven movies. It will be very difficult to erase the "Hermione" image left to fans unless it is performed exceptionally well.

Hey. These things are a pain in the ass. Angela pursed her lips and thought. In fact, Lindsay doesn't need to worry, she has chosen the direction of development based on her words and deeds, and she also knows that she can't be compared with her.

As for Lulu, frankly speaking, if I knew that Disney would be like this, Angela would definitely not recommend Lulu to sign with them. They now put their revenue targets entirely on teenagers. , 7-year-old young idol, and then squeeze out all the commercial value in a few years as much as possible - such as acting in TV series, movies and albums, anyway, the fresh-keeping period of teen idols is only a few years - as for teenagers who like the new and hate the old. What to do with idols who have lost their commercial value, it is not within the scope of Disney's consideration. As long as they want to pick up new idols at any time, there are many boys and girls who want to become famous.

Besides, "Those who can cheer up and find their way in this environment can achieve great things." This is what Michael Eisner, the former CEO of Disney, said, and such predatory measures similar to destroying the environment are also his customized. Fortunately, he was ousted a few years ago, and the successor CEO Robert is adjusting his strategy, but because of huge inertia, Disney is still walking on this road.

But don't worry too much about Lu Lu, don't forget that she also has a famous aunt. Julia began to slowly reduce film production since marrying Frank, and then moved to work as a producer behind the scenes. A film and television production company was established with Frank's support, and it was a pleasure to work with Pixar's film division. The reason why Julia let Lulu sign with Disney was that she wanted to hone her niece. After all, under the protection of her and Angela, Lulu developed almost smoothly in this circle.

So Xia Xia? There is no solution to this. Only after the final filming of the entire "Harry Potter" series is completed, we can slowly and carefully select some characters and change them little by little.

Although it takes a lot of time, it is the safest method. After all, it is very difficult for an actor to meet a role that is very suitable for him, even if Angela often tailors roles for others. That is also based on a very understanding and familiarity.

If appropriate measures are taken, this transformation process can also be accelerated, right? For example, there is a person who is familiar with her to guide her, or she can start the transformation as soon as possible. I don't know how thick the "Deathly Hallows" will be published soon. Maybe the shooting can be divided into two episodes? Having said that, what choice will Lex Luke face in the end? In "Order of the Phoenix", Sirius looks weird every time she mentions her, and people who are not from the Order of the Phoenix are trusted by Dumbledore; in "Half-Blood Prince", Snape is also forced to look ashen Can't lose his temper, and even say "don't think I don't know what you're thinking" in an unusually sharp tone!

To ordinary readers, it was just Lex's awareness that Snape wanted to kill Dumbledore, but to someone it had a different meaning. Thinking of Rowling's hint to her, no matter how you look at it, Lex seems to have some connection with Harry's mother. She originally thought that Rowling would be written as Hermione. After all... Then again, "Half-Blood Prince" was actually cancelled. Ron and Hermione's love setting, the two are still friends, this is too strange, if I knew it was Christmas, I should have asked Rowling who is...

After realizing that her thoughts were jumping like a fly, Angela patted her head to wake herself up a little. Turning to look at Natalie, she is closing her eyes, apparently preparing for the upcoming shoot. Angela frowned but didn't say much. She opened the field notebook in her hand and began to think about today's shooting.

Today's filming is still not smooth and the number of reporters on the outside is almost doubled. Miss Angel's new movie always attracts a lot of guys who want to chase the news. But Angela was not angry or depressed because of this, she was very calm, whether it was Natalie or Will who NG a few dozen times in one shot, or those reporters who sneaked in to interview when the crew was resting, she did not something special.

"If I were you, I would take at most a few pictures and leave. You must know that your behavior has disturbed our work. We can sue the court." A certain guy was caught by Angela while taking pictures. A straight, but still cheeky question to her, and Angela replied.

"Remember what I said yesterday? Take your time, there is time." Angela then comforted Natalie like this, "These scenes are indeed difficult, but it is not without benefits, as long as you can shoot smoothly. After the scene here, the rest of the scene will naturally be no problem - you should not have suggested it to me because you thought so."

Natalie smiled reluctantly, and after a while, she sighed and said, "That's why you slowed down the shooting today, didn't you?"

"Of course, it doesn't matter if you only shoot one shot a day, the key is what you have mastered while shooting." Angela shrugged and spread her hands.

"I know, but," Natalie pursed her lips, "I'm not like you, I don't have many shots, and I have a guide tube, and I wrote the script myself... I don't seem to be suitable for such a fragile and strong woman. Strongman image…”

Angela couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded. Although her role is the big boss behind the scenes, her total scene is less than one-third of Natalie's. According to her own calculations, if it is edited according to the ideal effect, her scenes will only occupy at most. 15 to 20 minutes. It is precisely because there are not many roles in the role that she will agree to play.

"Okay, Nat, why did you say such a thing in just a few days?" Angela squatted down in front of her, holding Natalie's hand and looking at her tenderly regardless of the eyes around her. " The Nat I love is a calm, serious, and smart girl. She will never be discouraged by a small setback. Even if there is a big difficulty, she will move forward bravely and overcome it with her own wisdom. Drop. As I said, we have time, so don’t worry, since I let you play the heroine, I naturally have confidence in you, so you just need to do it well.”

Natalie looked at Angela, she opened her mouth and seemed to want to say something, to refute something, to talk about something, but in the end she didn't say anything. After lowering her head and grabbing Angela's hand and kneading it a few times, Natalie lifted it up again and nodded vigorously: "I will."

"That's right," Angela smiled and patted her arm and stood up, "then let's continue!"
