"Hello, Miss Mason, I'm a reporter from FOX TV, can you tell me what you think about the title of genius girl?"

"Miss Mason, I'm Carlson from ABC, can you talk about how you wrote those scripts?"

"I'm Byrne, the Post reporter, how did you do it, Miss Mason, you're only twelve years old!"

"I'm… "

"I'm… "

Facing these sudden mushrooming news media, Angela was stunned for the first time—good tutoring made her take it to the bottom of her heart and did not appear on her face, but she was really puzzled, why the weekend after the premiere I haven't seen any superfluous reactions in the news media for the past two days, why did it suddenly come out now

Seeing the reporters swarming outside the school in front of her, and the clicks that accompany them, she could clearly feel the excitement hidden behind the microphone, like a hound finding its prey, which she always wanted to avoid. , although she had told her father that even if she couldn't handle these things, it would be good to give it a try when she decided to appear in "Born to Be", but for her who knew enough about the entertainment media in her previous life, she didn't She never thought about appearing in the media. From the beginning to the end, she planned to be able to act in a movie and be a low-key person, so she did not attend the premiere of "Born Together", so she did not attend the premiere of "Hide and Seek" after the premiere. After the interview, she sneaked away first - for this she has to thank Al and Judy for helping her attract firepower - even when she released an EP, she also asked others not to use her own image, and every time Sparrow brought the contract with advertising intentions. rejected by her. Now, though, it looks like her luck has come to an end.

"Gentlemen and ladies, I have to remind you that this is a school. Please don't crowd here. The school has been closed, so you will affect the traffic." Angela spread her hands and said with a smile, although her heart His chest was beating wildly, but his head was surprisingly calm.

"Miss Mason, are those works really done by you alone?"

"I think you can ask Mr. Anderson of the Los Angeles Times on this question, and of course, you can also ask the major film companies."

"Miss Mason, are you really only twelve years old now?"

"There's no doubt about it. In fact, there are many students in school who think I'm only 11 years old."

"Miss Mason, as a 12-year-old, wouldn't it be strange that you could write something like this?"

"Sir, why should I wonder about my work?"

"Miss Mason..."

The reporters seem to have endless questions. They always come again before they have finished answering them. Angela can't take one step forward. She can't help but get a little anxious. Lilith's palms beside her were obviously sweating coldly.

At this moment, a familiar voice came in from the periphery: "I'm sorry, gentlemen, please let me go!"

Followed by a middle-aged man who pushed aside the surrounding reporters and squeezed a path to Angela's side: "I'm sorry, miss, I'm late."

"Thank you, Mr. Dick." Angela nodded and breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Mr. Driver was here, otherwise she really didn't know what to do. But the reporters didn't plan to let her go at all, they still moved around her and asked all sorts of inexplicable questions, some even asked: "Can you write "Hide and Seek" and play the girl in the film well, Is it about your family?"

Are these people idiots or idiots? Angela thought angrily, but fortunately, the school quickly organized guards to help stop the crowd after getting the news, so that the girl and her friends could get on the bus smoothly.

"David, shall we hurry up?" Angela frowned as she looked at the reporters who were taking pictures through the car window outside.

"Okay, miss, please take a seat." David, who sat in the driver's seat, nodded, started the car and quickly drove to the front, watching from the rear window that the reporters who were thrown away did not get on. The meaning of the car chasing, Angela finally breathed a sigh of relief, leaned on the seat, and turned to look at Lilith, she still looked dizzy, and she couldn't recover.

"Lilith, are you alright." The girl asked worriedly, and then said angrily, "I'm so sorry for involving you. How did those people know that I went to school here, two days ago..."

She closed her mouth when she said this. Although she is sometimes confused, she is not an idiot. According to the abilities of those reporters, after the premiere, as long as you have the heart, you can find out her address and family situation. She had a very comfortable life all day, and there was no situation where the media surrounded the house. Although there were so many relevant reports in the newspaper, they were all published in the "Los Angeles Times" that day. Obviously, her father used some means to protect her. Otherwise, when he was in the administration office today, Mr. Black would not have promised that he would not let the media know that she was going to school here, but it seemed that his assurance was useless.

"Oh, God, I was so nervous just now," Lilith finally came to her senses, patted her chest and said, "You know, Angie, you didn't seem nervous at all, and you could answer in a methodical manner. Their problems, I really admire you."

"Actually, I'm just as nervous, but I'm hypnotizing myself and seeing them all as potatoes." Angela said a little embarrassedly, and Lilith couldn't help laughing because of her pitiful look.

"Okay, then, David, let's take Lilith home first, and by the way we can see if anyone is following." Angela leaned on the back of the co-pilot and said to the driver.

David nodded: "As you wish, miss!"

"Angela Mason, known as Hollywood's genius girl, is currently attending Nakmas Girls' Private High School behind me. This 12-year-old girl only officially started her high school career in September this year. It is difficult to Imagine that the girl who just graduated from elementary school will be the screenwriter of "Sleepless in Seattle," which currently holds the top box office chart, and Ms. Nancy Meyers has made it clear that Miss Mason is the main creator, and she is only doing it. Editing some details... Well, school is out, we're going to check with this girl in person... Look, she's out, um, she looks cute... Hi, Miss Mason, I'm Ashley, ABC reporter, May I ask what you think of your work "Sleepless in Seattle"?… Miss Mason, we all know you are only 12 years old, what made you write such a mature script?… Miss Mason, it is reported that "Seattle" "Sleepless" was made by you for Miss Meg Ryan, is that so?… Miss Mason! Miss Mason!… I'm sorry to the audience, because the scene was so confusing, Miss Mason only answered a few questions. Left in a hurry, we'll follow up further, ABC reporter Ashley Blair reports for you!"

With a snap, Jared turned off the TV, shrugged and looked at his wife, Elena thought for a while and said, "Well, every TV station is reporting, it's hard for me to say which one is better, it seems, Ke Liz is still very photogenic."

"Just very photogenic, Mom?" Angela, who was sitting on the single-seat sofa, leaning on the backrest with her hands resting on her head, bit her lip, not knowing whether she was happy or helpless.

"Then I can also praise you for coping well." Elena said with a smile, "This is the truth."

"Eileen!" Jared increased his tone at this time.

"It's okay, Jedi, aren't we all standing behind Chris?" Elena spread her hands.

"Yeah, I know, I'm just unhappy, those people..." Jared waved his hand and didn't continue.

Angela stood up at this time, came to her father a few steps, and hugged him gently: "It's okay, Dad, I am very grateful for what you have done for me, but some things still have to be faced by yourself, don't you?"

"Well... you already know?" Jared was slightly embarrassed.

"Do you think your daughter who wrote the script would be an idiot?" Angela stuck out her tongue mischievously.

"But I don't think you're really ready, dear." Father said lovingly, stroking her head.

"I admit that I'm not ready, or even... maybe not at all, but it's here, it's impossible to escape, and even if I tell them that I won't write scripts or make movies in the future, it will only cause a bigger turmoil. , so even if you are not prepared, you have to face it, don't you?" Angela looked up at her father and said firmly, then she clapped her father's hand, and then looked at her mother: "Anyway, you are not standing behind me?"

Jared was silent for a moment, then looked at his wife, each saw the smile in each other's eyes, and his father nodded: "Okay, then how are you going to deal with it?"

"I think there will definitely be a TV station who will contact Uncle Sparrow and invite me to participate in some talk shows. I can choose the most influential ones to participate, and then contact the print media for an exclusive interview. Of course, these will take a while to wait for people. My curiosity reaches the highest point, and then once I vent it out, I can temporarily reduce their attention to me greatly." Angela said thoughtfully.

Father touched his chin: "It sounds like a good plan, but you didn't think about it..." At this point he suddenly closed his mouth: "Oh, can't say, you have to think for yourself!"

"Why?" The girl immediately called out: "Why can't you tell me if there is a problem!"

"Dear, you just said you would face it yourself." The mother said with a smile.

"But..." Angela stopped after shouting, rolled her eyes, and folded her hands in a fit of anger, "Okay, come by yourself!"

She thought for a while, then suddenly said, "By the way, Dad, if they knew our address..."

"Don't worry, honey," Mom took over. "We'll find someone to clean up the Beverly Hills villa, and the two houses in Malibu, and we can move in anytime we need!"
