"How dare you say such a thing, Lawrence! When I was fighting hard for this country in Vietnam, you would only stand under the Washington Monument and show off your eloquence!" In the room, the black old man waved his arms to the white old man. .
"I have to remind you, Mark, first of all, I'm not showing off my eloquence, I'm just exercising the most basic rights that this country has given me; and secondly, you have to admit, the Vietnam War was a stupid war, and we didn't have any to go there A reason to fight." The white old man retorted unhurriedly.
"Everything needs to be analyzed in detail, do you dare to say that this war is pointless from beginning to end? If you are against this war after 64 years then I will admire you, but you have been a shrinking turtle from the beginning. !" cried the old black man angrily.
"They're here again." The two little girls who were sitting not far away and chatting shook their heads in unison, one was tapping with a laptop, the other was pressing with a mobile phone, all of them were a pair of The look of concentration.
"Shut up to me! You two!" The old woman with the plate came out of the kitchen, and shouted loudly, staring at the two tit-for-tat old men, "Aren't you even better than children!"
The two who were still sneering at each other just now didn't make a sound, but looked at each other with dissatisfaction in their eyes.
"Cut!" Angela shouted from behind the camera. After everyone stopped, she tapped on the head with the script that was rolled into a tube. After thinking for a while and then looking at the monitor, she didn't think about the person who was serving the plate just now. Helen Mirren said: "Helen, you should be more severe and impatient, because this is their second quarrel, but be careful not to push too hard."
After Helen nodded to show that she knew, she looked at old Morgan again: "Morgan, you have to pay attention that Mark's participation in the Vietnam War was one of the things he was most proud of, because he fought bravely in a place where racial discrimination was prevalent. It was the first time that everyone recognized the age of The confidence is not very strong, you need to cover this with a louder voice, you can pay attention to this."
"If Al doesn't mind my spittle splashing on his face, I'm fine." Morgan Freeman said humorously with his hands outstretched, and there was a burst of laughter all around him.
"Don't worry, Morgan, I will definitely not have an opinion." Al raised his eyebrows with a smile.
Angela just shrugged, then looked at Al: "As for you, Al, you're doing well, please keep it up."
After seeing these explanations, she immediately faced the two little girls: "Kolo, Zudi, you two are not bad, pay attention to the moment after this scene is your performance, hold your emotions, let the old guys see The new generation is amazing!"
I have to admit that Angela has unparalleled attractiveness among the new generation of actors. Soon after the startup, I became acquainted with these young actors, and they are very familiar with them now, so Chloe Moretz immediately shouted. Repeatedly said: "No problem, let the old guys see how powerful the new generation is!"
This voice suddenly attracted sideways and snickering, and even the slightly quiet and weak Judy Fran couldn't help covering her mouth.
"Hey, little girl, the old guys aren't dead yet." Morgan, who was resting, couldn't help but jokingly said.
The laughter at the scene was even louder, and Angela shook her head with a smile, and just as she was about to wave her hand to announce the continuation, it suddenly stopped. She froze in place for about two minutes, then began to circle in circles. The voices around him became quieter, and everyone knew what Angela had in mind. However, after walking for several laps, she did not stop, and the expression on her face was constantly changing, sometimes surprised, sometimes worried, sometimes hesitant, sometimes troubled. After turning around for an unknown number of times, she finally stopped, her brows were firm, and she had obviously made up her mind.
"Lawrence, Coster, Hamblin, come with me." Angela greeted, these three people are the assistant director, assistant director and executive producer of the crew.
The four people came to the distance. It was nothing at first, but following Angela's narration, the executive producer began to shake his head, and the assistant director also expressed his objection hesitantly. Only the assistant director did not speak. Even so, Angela didn't mean to stop and still insisted on something. Needless to say, both the producer and the assistant director finally gave in. After all, this is Angela's work, and all they can do is persuade.
"I have something to announce," Angela took the lead in bringing the actors together after returning to the crowd. "The filming is currently suspended for a week, and you will get the revised script in a week. You can be the crew for a week's vacation. , but please come back as soon as you get the news."
"One week... Do you want to overhaul the script, Angie?" Al asked for everyone after thinking about it.
"No, I just need to make changes in some places. When I was thinking about some things just now, I suddenly had inspiration again. You should have encountered examples of scripts that were stopped and revised in the middle, right?" Angela smiled. said.
"But it's rare to encounter an example of stopping for a week." Helen next to him said.
"Rare doesn't mean no, doesn't it?" Meryl, who had been resting before, retorted with a smile.
"But that's basically because the producer had a conflict with the director or actor. Do you think Angela is competing with herself?" Helen also retorted, "Do you want me to carry it, Meryl?"
"Okay, please don't bring the emotions in the movie into reality," Angela quickly raised her hand to stop, "Actually, in a sense, I am indeed competing with myself, so there is no need to discuss this issue. In short, the shooting time may be extended, I hope it will not delay everyone, if there is a conflict in the arrangement, please let me know as soon as possible, okay?"
"Don't worry, we always set aside time, at least I don't have any special arrangements." Morgan said first.
"Indeed, I'm just waiting to see what's so special about your revised script." Al also said with a smile, and others agreed, and the matter was settled.
After returning from the set, Angela immediately began to revise the script. The reason why she made such a sudden decision is because from the lines of Morgan and Al, I thought of the situation when my parents came to the house before, and then many new ideas came up. .
Angela didn't expect her parents to move so quickly, so she agreed. She would go with her the next day. In a hurry, and her parents insisted on sharing the same car with her, she had no chance to inform her lovers.
Fortunately, the lovers, although stunned, acted perfectly, even when their father asked them in front of the crowd what they were thinking. If it were normal, it would undoubtedly be very rude to do so, but the father had enough reasons to do so. Anyone who learns that their daughter is going to not only marry her own same-sex partner but also live with several entangled same-sex lovers will want to figure it out.
Not for anything else, just out of a father's love for his daughter. Fortunately, lovers understand this, so the atmosphere is always harmonious.
"Speaking of which, Angie and I have known each other for more than 20 years. If someone told me what would happen when I picked her up, I would definitely not believe it. But sometimes it's so strange that you think it can't happen. What happened to me happened, and I couldn't get out of it if I tried to figure it out. Jedi and Erin, you have watched me grow up. Have you ever thought that there would be such an entanglement between me and Angie? But , Some things have to be faced and accepted since they happened. I gave up once, but then I realized that I just gave up on myself. When I wanted to seize it again, the best time had passed. I Unwilling and unwilling, some suffering once is enough, so there is the current situation. Sometimes I often ask myself, what is the charm of this guy, so many of us are willing to pay for her, cute It’s love, and if you understand it, it’s not love. Even if I may give up again for various reasons in the future, I can’t let myself let go no matter what. I believe that the reason why we compromise like this is because of this.” In the living room, everyone is in the situation, facing Jared and Elena, Kate said this on behalf of all lovers.
Although it should be Jessica who did this, after all, it was her unreserved dedication that caused the chain reaction, but she politely refused because she was shy and felt sorry for the Masons. Faced with such an answer, Angela was really dumbfounded, but she didn't know what to say to her, so she just hugged Jessica and asked Kate about it.
This speech should be considered a success. Jared and Elena both sighed and didn't speak again after listening. They had talked to Scarlett and others separately before, and they naturally knew that their relationship was not. fake. Therefore, although Ike and Willie, who followed along with their faces, were still making things difficult and asking some bizarre questions, their parents had already acquiesced, and they couldn't make a fuss.
After that, it was natural to have dinner together and talk about some topics. The happy appearance made Angela feel jealous while putting down a big stone in her heart. Because the lovers thought that Fa'er would please her parents, the mother praised her daughter for her ladylike demeanor more than once in private, which made Angela depressed. Ladylike? Where did she come to look like a lady when she started to soar? I actually told myself to treat them well, this joke is too big, why don't you tell them to treat me well? ! Do you know what my life was like
Of course, such words would definitely not be spoken, so Angela had no choice but to roll her eyes to see the lovers and their parents talking and laughing. It's not that people who didn't pay attention to her low mood, Ike and Willie came over to comfort her.
"It's normal, they are also disguised to help you get the recognition of your parents." Willie said.
"Yeah, if it's a big deal in the future, if they do this again, just drive them out." Ike said immediately, and then in exchange for Willie's fierce rolling eyes: Are you so impatient
Angela, who saw it in her eyes, laughed suddenly, and hugged her younger siblings into her arms one by one: "Okay, you are my younger siblings no matter what, this matter will not change with the passage of time. changed."
Even if they were not very happy, the two still accepted this reality. Although the last sentence of the sister had no other meaning, it was appropriate to use it here, not to mention that her relationship with them was so deep.
The visit of her parents was basically a smooth one. Angela lifted another obstacle in this way. You must know that she used to think hard about this matter. Even if her parents were very open and open-minded, they would not object to her same-sex wedding, but after all she was by her side. And 6 other lovers. Although she can not care about the opinions of others, she cannot care about the opinions of her family, especially her parents. Fortunately, the parents still gave support, just like in the past, how could Angela not be moved
After the scene shot on the set, there was a scene of a son and his father arguing fiercely, just not long after the parents came to visit, which brought back all kinds of memories of Angela. The new movie is originally a movie about American history and an ordinary family relationship. It also has a detailed description of the relationship between parents and children, and because of the limitations of the scene, the plot basically needs to be promoted by conversation. If you want to promote it, either like "12 Angry Men" is full of quarrels, or "This Man From Earth" is full of suspense - strictly speaking, "12 Angry Men" is equally suspenseful.
Therefore, there are many disputes and quarrels in the script, such as Robert and his older son-in-law Al, Al who participated in the anti-Vietnam War demonstration and Morgan who participated in the Vietnam War, as well as Robert and his wife Helen and so on. Naturally, there are conflicts between children and their parents, and Angela even specially arranged a passage to insinuate father and grandfather - this is not the specious description in "Father". This time, when the movie comes out and is released, if grandpa and father go to watch the movie, they will definitely see it.
Under the influence of memory, Angela suddenly found that the language in the script was a bit too sharp. At the same time, the tone of implied concern was not fully expressed, so there was a plan to stop work and modify the script. Of course, if that wasn't enough to stop her for a week, while thinking about how to revise it, she suddenly found that the script was missing one thing, and that was the suspense that ran through the entire movie.
Whether it is "12 Angry Men" or "This Man From Earth", there is a clear suspense that runs through the entire film. The suspense of "Twelve Angry Men" is whether the child is really a murderer and whether Henry Fonda can convince the other eleven people; and the suspense of "This Man From Earth" is whether the hero is really alive. Ten thousand years, and whether he can convince several others that he is Jesus. And that's exactly what "Our Lives" lacks.
It stands to reason that Angela should not make such a mistake. She noticed the choice of the theme early, how could she ignore the setting of suspense? The point is, she spent all her energy on the dialogue, after all, all the plot is driven by dialogue, and her goal is not just to make a good movie, it is inevitable to ignore other things.
If there is a problem, it will naturally be corrected, so Angela immediately shut down for a week, and at the same time, she is fortunate that she did not find out when the production was completed and it was about to be released. It's not too difficult to revise the suspense that runs through the entire play. Maybe it was subconsciously aware of this problem at the beginning. There are many places in the plot that can be used, and they can be pinched together with a little adjustment. Otherwise, it wouldn't be a problem of downtime for a week, and the previous expenses are likely to be wasted, even if she is rich, she can't waste it like this.
"Hey, how long are you going to be busy?" Kate's voice came from behind, and Angela, who was cracking on the keyboard, finally stopped, stretched her waist lazily and turned her head: "Okay, Today's is done."
Then she was stunned. Kate was standing at the door of the bathroom, her upper body leaning slightly beside the door, wearing a thin white shirt on her upper body, the agitation looming below, and only a pair of bottoms on her lower body. The slender legs rubbed together slightly, and the mature aura exuded was fatally attractive.
"Are you... seducing me?" Angela took a deep breath in order to maintain her composure.
"What do you think?" Kate walked to the bed and sat down, then slowly moved her legs up.
Angela's breathing suddenly became much faster, she squinted her eyes, and suddenly rushed up. Kate originally wanted to say something, but she didn't expect Angela to move her hand so suddenly, and was immediately pressed on the bed by the other party. Not to be outdone, she started to fight back, but for some reason, she didn't get to the point as before, so after a few rounds, Angela still held the initiative and was firmly pressed on the bed.
"I see!" After laughing for a while, Angela's voice suddenly sounded, with a little pride.
"What do you know?" Kate asked with a slight panting, her shirt was already wrinkled, not only the spring light leaked out, but the softness of her chest fell into Angela's hands.
"I said why are you so vulnerable." Angela, who was riding on Kate, leaned down with a smile, her emerald green eyes looked at her with an indescribable smile.
"Oh? Maybe you're not sure if you've been drinking." Kate was lying with her eyes open.
"Since you know whether I drink or not, why do you have some inexplicable worry and jealousy?" Angela put her hands around Kate's neck and pressed her nose to the tip, "Fool!"
On the day of the parents' visit, my mother deliberately called Natalie to another room to chat for a long time before she left. When she came out, Natalie's face was slightly red, and she looked at Elena with gratitude. Although I don't know what they said, no matter who asked Natalie, they kept silent, but they could guess some, after all, only she would enter the palace of marriage with Angela. In this way, even if other people are psychologically prepared, there will be more or less adverse reactions.
