Hollywood Secret Garden

Although Angela's only requirement was very strict, she finally reached an agreement with Peter under Sparrow's dealings. There is still a lot of flexibility, so Angela became the first officially settled actor of the "Lord of the Rings" crew.

Yes, the first one, although Liv has already auditioned before this, and Angela dressed her up exactly according to the image in memory on Halloween, but she cannot be compared with Angela after all, so even if the first time The audition has passed, but it is still only a candidate. Of course, it is also because of Angela that she can basically be regarded as the first choice.

Now that the contract is signed, it is necessary to cooperate with the crew. Of course, the crew is still in the process of preparation, and it will only start after 8 months at the earliest, so there is no need to keep it secret or publicize it. It is just Legola in the novel Si is an excellent archer who can penetrate Yang with a hundred steps, so Peter asked Angela to at least be able to master the bow and arrow proficiently before starting the machine.

"Very well, there is one more thing that must be done." Angela said helplessly after learning of Peter's request.

"It's not surprising. You are a smart person. Smart people naturally have to do a lot more than ordinary people." After listening to her self-mockery, Annie said half teasingly and half comfortingly, and Angela could only snort. It's over.

Although Radcliffe Academy will not start until mid-February, the extra one-month vacation does not mean much to Angela. She is still busy with her career. For example, Andrew finally let go of the script Handing over to the Pixar film department, Angela needs to consider whether it is better to use this opportunity to drag Warner into the water or Fox or Universal. There is no precedent for the box office failure of the script that is fancy, and these big companies will not give up the opportunity to try unless they fail after cooperation.

As for Disney, although CEO Michael Eisner has become a bit greedy due to his long tenure, which has led to a lot of friction with Pixar Animation Department in terms of animation, but in general the cooperation between the two parties is still smooth. .So in addition to "50 First Dates" which is about to be released on Plot People, Angela still considers "Pirates of the Caribbean", which is currently only an outline, to cooperate with them in investment after completion, otherwise she will have to make "Pirates of the Caribbean" Register and order Disneyland's "Pirates of the Caribbean" to either change its name or pay a fee.

Of course, this is the worst plan. Although Eisner has become greedy, he is not blind. Therefore, the "Pirates of the Caribbean" trilogy is enough to hang Disney, and other resources can be better allocated to other established film companies.

In addition to this consideration, she also decided on several important roles in "The Truman Show". Needless to say, Jim Carrey must be the leading actor, and the director is also sure to be Peter Weir, and the producer is the big villain. It was "General Hammer" Ed Harris, who basically let them go as long as they said yes to the movie.

It would be fine if it was just these things, but what really took up her time was the advertisements for contract renewals. Although the previous jewelry advertisements agreed with her mother that she would only endorse for one year, the contract would not be renewed after 98, but George The old man has signed her for two years in a row, which is not enough. This year, he wants to sign another year. Angela can't say much. After all, the jeans from childhood to adulthood are designed by the old man himself and never leaked, so not only is he generous to renew the contract At the same time, in addition to print ads, a series of TV commercials were also specially shot.

Also signed for the third year is Chanel's girly perfume advertisement, although Angela complained endlessly: Isn't it all changed every year?Why do you have to speak for me?But after all, this perfume is a brand launched by Chanel in her name, and it also occupies a large share in the market of girly perfumes, so Angela, who couldn't hold back the other party's lobbying, finally agreed.

As for the other people who heard the news, they were turned away again. Anyway, she did not lack the money. Even though there were many famous manufacturers among these people, the only thing that made Angela hesitate was the invitation from Mattel. .

Ever since she turned 18 last year, Mattel has approached her door, hoping to be authorized to make a Barbie doll in Angela's appearance. At that time, Angela naturally refused without even thinking about it. Although she had a closet of Barbie dolls, she They were all given by the elders on birthdays or various festivals, and most of them were put in the box as decorations, only when the parents’ friends brought girls of the same age to visit at home, they would take them out, and then pretended Play with each other.

Besides, just thinking about the doll that resembles her being touched by many people—although most of them are girls—maybe even bitten by dogs, thrown around, and thrown into the microwave oven, Angela feels quite uncomfortable, although She knew that as long as she was still a public figure, she would be sexually obsessed, so she rejected Mattel's invitation several times.

But the difference this time is that the other party not only came to the planning department, but also brought a letter, a letter written by Mrs. Ruth Handler, the founder of Barbie who has long since retired.

The old lady didn't say too much in the letter. After giving Angela a small compliment in a calm manner, she sincerely hoped that she could "become a learning object for girls in the United States and even the world, and lead them to become a model of the new era." New women", and the phrase is neither humble nor overbearing, so that Angela can't help but feel good about it.

So after thinking for a long time, Angela finally agreed cruelly, but it was just a few models, and any method that could further occupy the hearts of these teenagers should not be missed.

Then the next step is to shoot print advertisements. Although Mattel did not do it too gorgeously due to Angela's request, it still changed a lot of costumes from the sister next door to the professional woman to the palace princess. Tai also collected her body data and planned to make it completely scaled down, which can be regarded as painstaking.

These things take up most of Angela's time in Los Angeles, so whether she is with Jessica, Kate, or guiding Lindsay to practice musical instruments and play with the three little guys, she has to plan and squeeze time, even recently Nicole, who was close at hand, could only chat a few words on the phone. From this, one could imagine how upset Angela was about the bow and arrow practice that had to be added to the schedule.

Fortunately, "The Lord of the Rings" will take a long time to leave the camera, so after discussing, I decided to hire a bow and arrow teacher to follow me after school starts, and use the spare time of directing on weekends and summer vacations to study and practice.

"Why are there always so many things to do?" Angela, who was typing in the warm sunshine, was a little sad, even though it was rare to stay alone for an afternoon, she still worked hard to write the script.

Of course, this kind of emotion comes and goes quickly. It seems that Angela is always surrounded by many things, but she is actually enjoying it. As long as it does not affect the quality of life, she will not change anything, because these things are It is what she thinks she must do, such as the script of "The Princess Diaries" she is writing now. After explaining it clearly to Sparrow, Angela made a few rounds at Anne, and after getting the same answer as last time She could only sigh softly. Since Annie stated that she would never set foot in the entertainment industry, she would never allow the movie "Princess Diaries" to appear in Hollywood!This movie can only belong to Anne!

"I knew you were here, the sunniest place in the garden." A voice came over at this moment.

"The sunniest place in the garden is not limited to here, dear mother." Angela stopped typing immediately, and turned her head to show a big smile to the walking mother, "What's the matter?"

"Could it be that I can't come to see my daughter if I have nothing to do? Or my daughter doesn't like her mother to see her when she grows up?" the mother sitting opposite said in a teasing tone.

"Mom!" Angela rolled her eyes directly, and the mother who saw it couldn't help laughing.

"Okay, I just came to see you. You are rarely at home these days." Mother touched her head lovingly.

"It will be fine in a few days. At that time, I will pester you every day, asking you to carry me around and help me bathe and feed me." Angela, who stuck out her tongue and looked naughty, did not have the slightest sense of maturity. Take off a child who hasn't grown up.

"Okay, Chris, don't be childish." The mother smiled and shook her head, tapped her fingers on the round table before saying: "Why don't you buy a yacht and take the whole family out to sea together?"

"Why should I buy a yacht?" Angela shrugged, "Isn't it okay to use the Mary to go out to sea?"

"It's being maintained." The mother said lightly.

"Where's the Jedi?"

"It's also under maintenance."

"Then..." Angela was about to call out the name of the next yacht when she suddenly understood it.

In the past, unless my father was too busy to get away, he would take his family to spend a few days in Los Angeles or Miami for a sea vacation during the summer vacation.But since she started making movies in 91, she seldom went out to sea with her parents. Except for always making movies in the summer vacation, she added a lot of work for herself. Last year, when her younger siblings came back from Miami, they often complained that my sister was too busy with work. go play with them.

"Mom, I...I'm not..." Angela pursed her lips and looked at her mother sadly.

"Fool, I don't mean to blame you," the mother smiled slightly, "You are an adult and you are so good, it's normal to focus on your own career, I just want to remind you not to ignore other things because of this." stuff, you know we all love you."

"I understand, Mom." Angela pursed her lips and suddenly opened her arms to hug her mother tightly. Somewhere in her memory suddenly churned, and bits and pieces of the past flashed through her mind quickly.

"As I said just now, I will have time in the next few days, and I will accompany you well then." Angela gently held her mother's hand, but the next second she waved her fist ferociously and screamed: " I want you to hug me wherever you go, help me bathe and feed me! I want to tell those two brats that my mother’s arms belong to me! No one can take them away!”
