Hollywood Secret Garden

"Although I said it the day of the premiere, I'll say it again, if you're going to discuss something with Angela, forget that she's an 18-year-old girl!" - Kevin Spay West said so.

"She has two extremes. When she is smart, she is far beyond many experienced middle-aged people, but when she is cute and shy, she looks like a child who is only thirteen or fourteen years old." - Annette Bening said.

"I didn't know what my role was at the beginning, but I agreed without thinking about it, not only because I had worked with "Run Lola Run" before, I trusted her vision." -Mina Suvari said so.

"At the beginning of the filming, my performance should be the worst. I was the one with the most NGs every day, but she never said anything more, just warned me to do it a few times if I can't do it once. As long as I can see my problem Then it will always work out, even though she is younger than me but sometimes more like a sister." -Sarah Michelle Gellar said.

"You can never imagine what it's like when she yells at you on the phone because she doesn't like the script, of course my stubbornness is part of the reason, but I will say that she is really scary in that situation But she can see a lot of different places, I have been thinking after watching the movie, if it is shot according to the original script, I am afraid it will not have such a good effect, you have to admire her."—— Alan Bob said so.

"Yes, I can understand that feeling, I have spent at least ten hours a day on drawing, music and reading since I was 4 years old, because I like the feeling of being immersed in it, and it is often full of passion, but also It will be boring after a long time. At this time, we must learn to make changes or rediscover. So in a sense, Lester is brave. Of course, what he pursues is not the desire for Betty but to break through the trap. The shackles of all living beings, Allen’s script is indeed very good. I don’t intend to criticize or criticize anything, I just lift it up for you to see, because what everyone sees, understands, and reflects. There are similarities and differences ’” said Angela Mason.

The "American Beauty" tidbit broadcast on Fox TV was a success in a certain sense, satisfying the public's curiosity to a certain extent, even though Angela was very dissatisfied that the topic focused on herself, but anyway This did reduce some of the paparazzi guarding outside the villa, and she also had more time to do other necessary things, such as——

"Listen to me, Andrew, I can let you take any position except director." Angela took the phone and walked to the French window to look at the blue sky outside. The rain is probably the most stingy thing in Los Angeles. "I watched you direct last year." I also admit that it is a good movie, but I still don't think you are suitable for directing "The Truman Show". Compared with the satire of the movie "Virtual Idol" a few years ago, it is more pungent and direct. "

She said and turned around the room twice: "Of course I know, but it can be seen from the script that you always want to add a lot of things into it, so when you make choices as a director, you will inevitably be biased. I don't want to What's wrong with 'The Truman Show' because it's going to go down in cinema history if it's done well."

After a pause, Angela slowed down: "Please forgive me for being straightforward, I think our conditions are very good, aren't we? ... No, I will not direct, I will find a more mature director, "Death How is the director of Poetry Society, Peter Weir? ... Well, I hope I can hear good news from you next time."

Turning off the phone, Angela shrugged. Anyway, it’s time to say everything. If Andrew still chooses another film company, she has no choice but to pray that "The Truman Show" will not become too bad, especially if Jim Carrey didn't play the leading role—Angela always felt that Truman's nervous look was best played by this guy.

But if you think about it carefully, Andrew is still very likely to hand over the script to the Pixar film department. The reason why he has been running between major companies and spent several months from last year to this year is to convince the film company Let him be the director, and the executives of various film companies agree with Angela.

However, among so many film companies, only Angela offered to be an executive producer, and the others just took a fancy to Andrew's script. In addition, the release of "American Beauty" gave Angela a lot of points, so the film department thought The probability of winning the script of "The Truman Show" should be the greatest.

Wait for his call.Angela put the phone back in place. Anyway, she has already planned Pixar's movies for the next few years. Let's not talk about the film adaptation and production rights of the "Harry Potter" series, nor the future "Matrix" Two sequels and "Pirates of the Caribbean" in planning, at the end of last year, the film department had already negotiated with Hasbro to obtain the film production rights of "Transformers" - Angela contributed to this success, all Hollywood knows now , Miss Genius started writing the script in order to save money to buy limited edition Transformers models.

In addition, the film department is in contact with Marvel Comics, with the goal of "X-Men" and "Iron Man". Although Angela really wants to do it all in one pot, the behavior of eating alone is not more welcome after all, and not all comic heroes are adapted. After the film is completed, it will be a blockbuster, so two profitable ones are enough.

Of course, it would be nice to win "The Truman Show". In this case, she just used it to try to co-produce with other film companies. "50 First Dates", which is in post-production, is jointly invested by Pixar and Disney. Although the cost is only Tens of millions, but Disney will join because Angela made it clear to the major companies that if this model is good, more movies will be produced in the form of joint ventures in the future.

Angela's goal is simple, to expand her influence as much as possible before the plan is completed, and make sure that Hollywood film companies feel that as long as they cooperate with her, they will definitely be profitable, so they will give some more or less when needed. face.

Moreover, this joint venture model has been very popular since the large investment and large production model appeared in the 21st century. Obviously, Angela also has to plan for the more distant future. Isn't it good to lay the foundation?She couldn't close the film department after she completed her plan.

Of course, all kinds of power still have to be in their own hands - otherwise Naomi would not have gotten the heroine of "50 First Dates" so easily - other film companies only need to invest.

At this moment, the landline beeped, and Annie's voice rang immediately: "Angie, Jesse and the others are here."

Angela, who heard it clearly, immediately cheered, tidied up briefly, and then quickly ran out of the room and went straight to the lobby. Jessica was already waiting there and was talking to Annie. She didn't lift her head lightly. At the beginning, he happened to meet Angela's eyes, and after being slightly stunned for a while, he showed a gentle smile that was so familiar.

Angela's footsteps suddenly slowed down, and something seemed to pierce her heart. Jessica seemed to be thinner than before.She didn't know why she made such a judgment, but her intuition told her that the girl who stood in the middle of the hall and smiled softly at her had indeed lost weight.

Angela, whose heart was rippling in circles, suddenly sped up again, wanting to run over to give her a big hug, but when she stepped on the ground of the living room on the first floor just now, a black shadow flew towards her.

"Angie!" Lindsay screamed and hugged Angela, because she flew onto her body with too much force, and at the same time took Angela around several times before stopping.

"Damn it, Lindsay! Do you want to stun me!" Angela yelled angrily, and after finally stopping, she immediately broke free and was about to hit her on the head, but Lindsay, who was holding her, He didn't intend to let go, but just shrank his head and looked up at Angela with an aggrieved expression.

That cute appearance made Angela feel soft-hearted. After calculating, she has not seen Lindsay and Jessica since she went to Harvard. She usually communicates by phone, email and occasional letters, so her hand dropped. After that, it finally changed from knocking to pinching - pinching the girl's face fiercely.

"It looks like it will hurt."

"My sister is so cruel."

Willie and Ike, who had been with Lindsay before, stood beside them and kept tsk-tsk, and after Angela glared at them, they quickly ran away laughing.

"Are you going to keep holding me like this for the rest of your life, Lindsay?" Angela then looked down at the girl in her arms again.

Lindsay stuck out her tongue, then let go of her hand reluctantly: "I just miss you, Angie."

Angela shook her head slightly, touched her head and walked towards Jessica: "It's nice to meet you, Jess."

"Me too." Jessica's smile didn't change, and she opened her arms.

The two embraced lightly and then separated. Although it only lasted a few seconds, Angela still felt Jessica's emotion of not wanting to let her go, especially when her hands were on her back.

"I hope you didn't encounter any obstacles when you came here." Angela tried her best to hold back the sudden agitation in her heart, and said with a smile while maintaining a calm surface.

"If you don't count the reporters in twos and threes outside the villa, we are indeed going well." Jessica shrugged playfully, staring at Angela without blinking, the brown eyes seemed to be burning at any time.

"By the way, Jesse, come up with me first, I have something to show you." Angela said this suddenly, then took Jessica's hand and walked upstairs.

"Wait, I'm going too." Linzhai yelled to follow.

"No, honey, this is a private topic, we will come down soon." Angela simply rejected the little girl who wanted to follow, and pulled Jessica straight back to the bedroom.

After entering the room and closing the door, she turned around and was about to say something, when Angela was pressed against the door and made a bang, and then two wet lips blocked her mouth.
