"Cut!" Angela called out loudly, and spoke again after the camera stopped rolling: "Remember what I said to you before, Hannah? You're in the wrong mood, it shouldn't be like this."
"I'm sorry, Angela, can I do it all over again?" Dakota immediately raised his hand obediently.
"Not for now," Angela shook her head. "Take a 20-minute break. I won't explain it to you this time. You have to figure it out for yourself. Also, Christine, you can try to talk to Hannah a few more times. , your performance just now was not very good."
"I understand, Angela." Kristin nodded. Although this girl seems to be beautiful and quiet, she is very open to going crazy in private. This is what Dakota said.
After everyone dispersed, Angela did not go to the monitor behind the camera to observe as before, but strode to a corner and reached out to pick up the guy who was hiding behind a female employee.
"Your scenes have already been filmed, why are you still here?" Angela looked at the guy in front of her with all her time.
"Hi, Angie," Lindsay greeted with a smile on her face, "Um... nice to see you, how are you doing?"
"Don't pretend to be crazy and fool me, Lindsay, tell me honestly, what are you trying to do here?" Angela asked with a half-smile, "Otherwise, in post-production, I'll take your number Cut all the footage in seconds!"
"Cut it, just cut it." Lindsay shrugged indifferently, and then found that Angela's smile became weird.
"I... did I say something wrong?" she asked cautiously, shrinking her neck.
"Of course - no!" Angela patted her cheek with a smile, "You just stated your purpose."
Lindsay blinked her eyes and immediately understood, and her face suddenly collapsed after showing a sudden look.
"How can you do this! You are cheating!" She whispered indignantly, clenching her fists very unwillingly.
"It's obvious that you were careless, how can you say that I'm cheating? But then again, if you don't mess around like this, I'll definitely wonder if you're Lindsay." Angela said leisurely, seeing Lindsay rolling her eyes Wanting to refute, she naturally wouldn't let her muddy the water, and immediately reached out and hooked her neck and dragged it to a hidden position, and asked, "Okay, tell me now, which is your goal, Hannah? Or Ke? Christine?"
Lindsay's face changed several times, and after a while, she said in a low voice, "Hannah..."
"It's pretty good," Angela gave a thumbs up approvingly, "Hannah is pretty, cute and smart, but I'm afraid you'll be eaten to death by her... Hey, why are you looking like that?"
Facing Angela's suspicious eyes, Lindsay spread her hands helplessly and sighed: "Her parents are very conservative and don't have the slightest affection for homosexuality. How could I tell Hannah that I like her?"
"Is that so..." Angela rubbed her chin. "Where's Hannah? What's her attitude to gays or lesbians?"
"I don't dare to ask, in case I can't even make friends..." Lindsay didn't say any more, but spread her hands helplessly.
"Not even a test?" Angela glanced at the crowd involuntarily, and did not see Dakota who was speaking with Christine, "I think you should test a little, and then slowly tell her how you feel. "
"But... but..." Lindsay hesitated, not knowing what to say.
"How do you know what Hannah is thinking? Maybe she has feelings for you too, but just doesn't understand? Lindsay, if you don't do anything, there's no chance at all," Angela put a hand on hers On his shoulders, "Do it hard, don't hesitate or worry, since I can provide Xiao Qiao and the others with some shelter, I can also provide you with it."
Lindsay looked at Angela in surprise. After a long time, the smile slowly faded from her face, then she stretched out her arms to hug Angela and squeezed it tightly, and then said softly, "Thank you, Angie."
The shooting progress was not very fast, but Angela did not take it to heart, because the entire film is expected to progress in only 6 weeks. The reason why it is so short is naturally due to the simplicity of the scene, although it is still not very easy to shoot, especially Angela as the director needs to consider a lot of things, but after all, the time is more generous than those movies that are often shot for two or three months. . Besides, there is no need to direct and perform this time, and the preparatory work in the early stage is very sufficient. In addition to reviewing the history of the United States around the main line of family, she also prepared a lot of excellent ideas, so she always directed with a relaxed attitude.
However, success in career does not mean that there will be no trouble in other areas. As the saying goes, there is no impermeable wall in the world. Even though Angela carefully protected her privacy and never let reporters confirm that she is Lace, but now she still has to prepare Open up about her sexuality, so let alone something she can't hide.
"I heard—are you planning to get married, Chris?" asked the father, who was sitting at the head of the dining table, casually.
"Well..." Angela forced a smile after the hand holding the spoon froze in midair for a long time, "Yes, Dad."
Quickly glanced at the faces of her father and mother, she quickly explained: "I should have told you a long time ago, but I haven't been able to find a suitable opportunity, and I'm busy with the new movie, so... Delayed again and again…”
She didn't believe it when she said it, even if she was really busy, it would be alright to call and let me know? What's more, who is sitting with the family and having dinner leisurely now
"Actually... I was going to tell you today... just after dinner, but I didn't expect you to... " Angela tried her best to explain while secretly scolding herself for being an idiot. During those few days in New York, her aunt and godfather visited her. , Father wants to know that her actions are too simple, and today he made it clear that he took the initiative to ask when he was impatient.
"I'm so sad, Chris, that I'm one of the last people to know about something so important," my father said calmly, "I thought you'd tell me when you got back to Los Angeles, I thought— When you need help, think of me first."
Angela's mouth twitched for a while, as expected of a father and son, this sudden vanity is really similar to grandpa, and the mother sitting opposite has lowered her head at this time, obviously enduring very hard.
Fortunately, Ike's voice rang in time: "Sister is getting married?!"
"Um... Well... It's sort of like that, but it's not completely sure yet." Angela responded with a smile, because her focus was on her parents, she didn't notice the excitement in her brother's tone.
"Who is it? Have we met?" Ike's voice suddenly increased a bit. Fortunately, Willie next to him pulled him from the bottom in time. The awakened Ike was busy with his parents and sister's eyes. Throwing over to adjust his emotions, he said in a steady voice, "Sorry, I'm just curious, it's impossible for my sister to marry someone we've never met."
As he grew older, Ike, who was already 15 years old and almost surpassed Angela, became more and more calm, and he had a fatherly demeanor and occasionally had some small problems, such as just now. Vili, who is as beautiful as her sister, is still lively. Although she doesn't pay much attention to studying, she is very sensitive to fashion. She escapes and remains calm at critical moments.
"I know, you've actually met her, Ike, and you used to play together a lot." Angela nodded to her brother, and after looking at Fu Za, she let go.
"She?" Ike suddenly looked surprised. "You... you mean... her?! You are talking about her, sister?!"
"Yeah, is there... what's the problem?" Angela shrugged inexplicably. Obviously, she subconsciously thought that her family should already know her sexual orientation, and she didn't realize that Ike was an exception.
"When... of course there is a problem, you said she was not him... Hey! Stop pinching me under there, Willie!" Ike cried out in pain, glaring at his twin sister, but he quickly realized something, look After looking at Willie, Angela, and her parents, her face became weird.
"Only... I don't know?" He looked at everyone and asked, his voice trembling slightly, "Only I don't know! My sister! My favorite sister! It turned out to be a... lace edge!!"
"Um... keep calm, Ike, I can explain that," my father said with a dry cough.
"What kind of explanation do you think you should give me, Dad?!" Ike tried to calm himself. "You know that, don't you? Mom knows that too, right?! Willie knows that too, Right! There are also grandparents, uncles and aunts, uncles and aunts, they also know, right!"
"Correct, Ike, Mom, Dad, and Willie do know, and so do grandparents, but aunts and uncles, aunts and uncles don't—of course, I don't guarantee that they have guessed it now." Angela took the topic, "Actually, I have to apologize to you, Ike, I didn't know you..."
"No, no, I don't need, I just... I just think..." Ike waved his hand and took a clear deep breath, and just as he was about to say something, Willie leaned over: "Go on, you're going to wear a gang It's gone!"
Ike was shocked, and immediately noticed the thoughtful flashing on his father's face. He quickly sorted out his emotions, and after secretly glanced at Willie with a strange look, he put away all the resentment, surprise, and excitement in his heart. He Qixi put aside all, and sighed at his sister: "Well, it's nothing, anyway... For my sister, if I don't do something surprising, then it's not my sister."
The whole family suddenly laughed. Of course, Angela's smile was more helpless.
"Okay, now that's the case," the father took over the topic, "Chrissy, tell us, who did you choose?"
"Who did you choose? Is there a lot of people pursuing my sister at the same time?" Ike, who was once again surprised, asked Willie in a low voice.
"Forget it, but I think she's pursuing a lot of people at the same time to describe it like this... 'reliable'!" Willie shrugged and replied in the same voice, followed by blinking her eyes, deliberately adding in her tone. Shang sighed with emotion: "It's a pity, my sister is about to get married, and she no longer belongs to us."
"So what, it's not marrying a man." Ike was not fooled, and looked back at his twin sister with a playful look, "So if you say sorry, it should be you, Willie."
"You..." Willie, who didn't know what to say for a while, glared at her younger brother.
However, the conversation between Angela and her father immediately attracted them and made them stunned again.
"We can discuss this after dinner, Dad." Angela initially rejected her father's proposal.
"Why is that, Chris?" Father obviously didn't want her to get away with it like this. "Everyone already knows that anyway, so what can't be said in person?"
"Because... this matter is very complicated..." Angela replied feebly, and at the same time gave her mother a look of help, but unfortunately her mother shrugged helplessly.
"Since it's complicated, it's better to say it. Maybe your mother and I can help you solve it." Father pressed step by step.
After all, I still transferred the battle between your father and son to me! Angela suddenly felt a sense of anger. Well, since you want to hear it so much, let me tell you!
"You might as well guess, Dad," Angela suddenly put on a relaxed look, "With what you know about me, you should be able to guess how I chose, right?"
"Don't you think this question is a bit simple?" the father asked curiously. "You asked your grandfather to convince the other's parents. Do you think I can't guess it? That girl named Natalie, right?"
"Wow, it's actually Nat!" Ike exclaimed in a low voice.
"Why not Jesse?" Willie frowned and muttered in dissatisfaction.
"Half right." Angela shrugged.
"Half right?" Father and mother looked at each other, completely understanding.
"Yes, I did propose to Natalie, and she did agree, but then something went wrong," Angela showed a big smile, "Kate, Jesse and the other six hope to continue Living with me, Nat agreed despite being very unhappy, but I had to prepare a unique proposal and a grand wedding."
With a bang, the fork in the father's hand fell on the table, and then the tableware in the hands of the mother and the younger siblings fell one by one, all looking at Angela with a dumbfounded expression.
"You mean... you mean... they... want to live with you... go down?!" After taking a deep breath, the father asked with great effort.
"Yes." Angela completely shattered her father's hope with just one word.
"GOD, this is just... this is just..." Father scratched his head and hardly knew what to say.
"Wow, it's so… so cool!" Ike, who opened his eyes wide, didn't know whether to be amazed or envious.
"Ike, don't say such things!" The mother stopped the two who wanted to talk for the first time, and then looked at Angela after calming down, "Chris, they... all... all volunteered. ?"
"Yes, Mom," Angela nodded, "Actually, I was also very surprised when I heard their confession."
"But... but..." Mother said several "buts" one after another, but no "buts" came out. Finally, she covered her forehead and sighed: "So, do their parents know?"
"No," Angela shook her head, and for the sake of her words, she was in front of her parents again, so there was no need to hide it any more, "This time I'm going to London, then to New York, and then back to Los Angeles. They were guests at their house, and by the way, my grandfather was a lobbyist for me. But I didn't mention it in the conversation, and I didn't talk about getting married or anything, just saying I wanted to live together - even with Ive Mr. Na said the same thing. By the way, grandpa and grandpa don't know either, please don't tell them, okay?"
"This is deception, Chrissy," the mother's brows furrowed slightly. "You are deceiving their parents, or you are deceiving their parents together with them. You shouldn't do it."
"But Mom," Angela asked calmly, "if we tell the truth, how would those parents react?"
The mother suddenly got stuck, and it was true. If she heard that her daughter wanted to share a man... or a woman with another woman, she would definitely object to it fiercely.
"They... just so firm..." Mother asked in disbelief, gesturing.
"Yes." Angela nodded seriously.
"Well, I don't know what to say anymore." The mother sighed and covered her forehead.
"Don't worry, Mom, their parents will naturally know when the time comes. They just want to use this method to tell their parents how determined they are. This is the best way they can think of." Angela slightly Guiltily spread his hands.
"Then you use this method to tell us how determined you are?" the mother asked with a wry smile.
"I said it from the beginning, we can talk in detail after dinner." Angela looked at her father innocently.
The mother glared at the father immediately, and the father coughed dryly and said nothing.
Angela smiled and then stood up: "I'm done eating, you can take it slow."
She said and walked to the door. After a few steps, her father stopped her: "Chrissy, I think... Maybe you can invite them here to gather together, it's not far apart, isn't it?"
"I think..." Angela turned her head with a smile, "It shouldn't be a problem, but Dad, why do you want them to come here instead of you coming over to me? It's not far apart, isn't it?"
Father shook his head dumbly and laughed: "Okay, let's choose a time to go."
It wasn't until his daughter walked out of the restaurant that Jared let out a long breath with a wry smile: "Sure enough, our daughter can always do some amazing things."
Linna didn't speak, just looked at the other two whispering to the children, and let out a long breath as well.
