Hollywood Secret Garden

Although Angela's idea is good, the actual effect is not satisfactory. The reporters or the paparazzi are not fools after all, so it is more newsworthy to dig out Angela's views and feelings on the nomination for the best director.

They had planned it a long time ago, as long as Angela showed up and asked them to pass the microphone to her face, even if they didn't answer anything, they could still write a long article with wonderful pens.So they didn't have much reaction to the new actor's role revealed in the blog, but Angela's fans were extremely excited and kept asking questions.

In this case, Angela just stayed in the school and didn't go anywhere. Although it was extremely easy to sneak into the huge city of Cambridge, the reporters still had to weigh it if they wanted to flock to this place. Weigh.

Besides, apart from occasionally going to the coffee shop or library, Angela has been carrying out activities in classrooms, dormitories, and restaurants. Even if the reporters can find a few students to find out their whereabouts, are they willing to cover up for Angela? Quite a few, the stalemate made all the reporters outside the campus very depressed, and they all said that Miss Genius was as difficult to deal with as Jodie Foster.

"Adrien Brody? It should be him." Sitting at the small round table in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of the campus cafe, Angela looked at the guy on the computer who looked a bit like Al Pacino. murmured.

The place where she was sitting was just under the curtains of the French windows that had been drawn, so that she could hide her figure behind the curtains without being afraid of being discovered and get enough light.

It may be a bit early, but critics think he is very good, and Soderbergh also thinks he has great potential.Angela pursed her lips and scanned the information on the computer, thinking silently.The writing of the script has been going smoothly these past few days. After all, all we have to do is add flesh and blood. If we keep this speed, we should be able to come up with the first draft by the end of the month. Once the first draft is completed, I will feel a lot easier—at least I don’t have to rush up.

In order to maintain this speed, Angela has compressed her homework a lot. Anyway, she has already decided on her major, so she can naturally give up some of the subjects she has read through.Of course, proper adjustment is also one of the conditions for maintaining speed. Instead of writing scripts, in addition to drawing storyboards and reading textbooks, Angela will also look at actor files to prepare.

However, it was a coincidence to find Adrien Brody. When Angela browsed the news related to the Oscar nomination list on the Internet, she found that someone complained about a war movie that was released at the same time as "Saving Private Ryan". This war movie doesn't lose out to Saving Private Ryan, but it's unfair that it was only nominated for a couple of technical awards.

Angela didn't take it seriously at first, there are so many complaints every year, a movie can't satisfy everyone, and niche movies have their own supporters to some extent.However, she immediately thought of that war movie with a lot of famous brands, so she dug it out and saw that it was "The Thin Red Line".

I won’t talk about the good or bad of this movie. Those who like it think it’s the best war movie, and those who don’t like it think it’s contrived from the beginning to the end, but this movie is often talked about by people. Just a long list of actors.

George Clooney, Sean Penn, John Travolta, John Cusack and other first-line stars have all played roles in it, and some even disappeared after just running around. Angela also aimed at I just watched these sideshows. Although the film is boring, the performance of the actors is not bad. It is very interesting to look through their files now.

After flipping through it, I found Adrien Brody's photo. Although I didn't notice it when I was looking at the name, the other's eight-character eyebrows are so iconic, as conspicuous as fireflies at night.

"Although it's ahead of schedule, good actors shouldn't be buried." Angela said to herself, and then she came back to her senses, laughed at herself and called out the document to continue working hard. No matter what, she had to finish the first draft Get it out and talk about it.

"Excuse me, can I sit here?" A male voice suddenly sounded beside me at this moment.

Angela, who was buried in the document, couldn't help but frowned. Are these guys not done yet?She immediately raised her head and was ready to taunt the other party, but she couldn't help being slightly taken aback when she saw who was coming.

From the appearance, this young man is about the same age as himself, with a slightly long face and thick eyebrows lowered down, giving him a rough feeling, but the corners of his mouth are slightly turned up and somewhat embarrassing, he looks sunny and shy, in general He was very handsome and handsome, but Angela was not stunned because of this.

"Jack Gyllenhaal?" Angela asked tentatively after a few seconds.

This time, the other party was stunned, but he also reacted quickly, and nodded with a bright smile: "I really didn't expect Miss Genius to know my name—may I sit down?"

"Of course." Angela quickly glanced at the table in the corner not far away and the young people sitting around the table, "You know? I almost asked you to audition."

Jack Gyllenhaal, who was sitting down, was stunned again, and then he reacted and shrugged with a slightly wry smile: "No wonder you recognize me—should I regret this?"

"No, if there is a chance to cooperate, maybe I can get you a nomination for Best Supporting Actor." Angela smiled slightly, but her squinted eyes looked like Grandma Wolf, and Gyllenshire couldn't help shivering.

"Hmm... what?" He didn't turn his head around for a while. After all, although he had played some small roles before, no one would say that cooperation can get you the most when you first met. Best Supporting Actor nominations and stuff like that.

Angela did not repeat what she said before, but changed her posture and leaned back, leaning on the back of the chair with her hands crossed and her chin level, looking at Gyllenshire with an interested look, yes , Examining his gaze, Gyllenshire didn't know why he felt this way, but it definitely wasn't a good feeling.

"Are you also studying at Harvard?" Angela asked with the corners of her lips curled up.

"Well... yes, I originally planned to go to Columbia University, but after thinking twice, I applied to Harvard." Gyllenhill said a little depressed. Although his goal had been achieved, the rhythm of his speech was controlled by Angela .

"I've always been curious about how outstanding the young lady genius recognized by Hollywood is. You have to know that although you never pretended to the men who approached you in school, you looked like a very ordinary woman, but this time you were nominated for an Oscar for best performance. The director really surprised people." Gyllenshire thought for a while and decided to counterattack slightly.

"That's nothing - I heard that your sister is also an actress, and your parents are directors and producers, so you should be regarded as an acting family, right?" Angela didn't accept the offer at all, and directly changed the subject.

Gyllenhill couldn't help but feel a little at a loss. No matter what he wanted to say, the other party could always simply divert and lead the topic to other aspects. From the history of Oscar to the history of Harvard University, he talked a lot. The rambling words made him feel like he didn't know what to say. After a long time, he couldn't help but regret coming over to strike up a conversation.

Finally, Angela didn't make it too difficult for him. After checking the time, she closed her notebook and stood up: "I'm going back to the dormitory. It's a pleasure to chat with you. Besides, please order the coffee."

"Okay...wait a minute, what...what?" Gyllenhaal answered bluntly, and then realized something was wrong, "Why?"

"I think you won at least twenty dollars, right?" Angela pointed to the table in the corner with her thumbs up. go down.

"Hey... ah... that... I think you may have misunderstood, Angela," Gyllenhaal quickly argued, "I admit that they encouraged me to come here, but we didn't..."

It's a pity that Angela didn't give him a chance at all: "That's okay, it's also right for a man to treat a woman to a cup of coffee."

After she turned around and walked out of the coffee shop Shi Shiran, the stunned Gyllenhaal watched Angela's figure disappear before realizing that the rich man with a net worth of 20 billion asked him to buy a cup of coffee.

"Never offend Angela who hasn't gotten to know you well, that's asking for trouble." In the days to come, Jack Gyllenhaal would always mention this sentence whenever he talked about Miss Genius.

Angela put this guy out of her head immediately after returning to the dormitory. Although the adaptation rights of the novel "Brokeback Mountain" had already been acquired as early as when it was first published in 97, she did not intend to produce it by herself. After all, you can't hide your sexuality forever, so what could be more dizzying than the news that a lesbian made a gay movie?But nothing is absolute, it is better to be prepared than unprepared, and this is also the purpose of her winning the right to adapt.only……

Huddled in the dormitory in Cambridge, Angela continued to write the script of "The Pianist", and communicated with her parents, friends, and lovers only by phone.At the same time, I often write one or two articles on my own position from time to time. Although most of them are written eloquently, they are actually a bunch of nonsense and no nutrition.

Facing Angela, who was like a shrinking turtle, the reporters really felt helpless. Although the newspaper reports about "Miss Genius" keeping her door closed and not talking about the best director nomination appeared in the newspapers every three days, but also from her The classmate and the employees of her company dug a lot of things out of their mouths, but without a positive answer from the person, this is undoubtedly scratching the surface of the shoe. Gossip is time-sensitive and loses its appeal after a long time.Of course, it's okay for them to write something more exaggerated out of thin air, but if they do that, they will cross the line if they are not careful. These people are still clear about who can cross the line and who can't.

No matter how heated the controversy is, it will eventually cool down as people's enthusiasm fades away. What's more, the protagonists of the debate either say nothing or talk nonsense. By the end of February, reporters outside Cambridge had already started Disappeared, and more than half of it went straight after entering March. One of the reasons was that Angela couldn't shrink back, and one of the reasons was to release the pigeons for the Grammy again.

第41届格莱美颁奖典礼是3月1日举行的，地点在洛杉矶的神圣大礼堂（注：现实中41届是2月1日），原本打算借红地毯的此机会好好拷问安吉拉的记者们大失所望，天才小姐显然铁了心龟缩到底——虽然她打败肖恩·科尔文以《天使的凝视》再次蝉联了最佳单曲。

Although it has become a habit to show the pigeons of the Grammys, Angela specially recorded a volume of VCR this time for people to take it and broadcast it after the award. In the past, an agent helped her to accept the award on stage and gave a speech according to the script she wrote. , but this time Sparrow is still in Poland and Germany and cannot come back. The people from the record company will accept the award instead, so at least in form, we must show respect.

However, Angela tried her best to play tricks in the video tape, for example, she laughed and explained something to the person who helped to shoot next to her after the filming started, and even made an exaggerated gesture, humming and sneering and saying, "Let them see me the most!" A perfect image", when I heard that the shooting had already started, I covered the lens nervously with shock, and then took a long time to move away from the palm of my hand and carefully stared at the camera with emerald green eyes: "You... didn't see anything, yes ?!"

That appearance made everyone in the sacred auditorium burst into laughter. Even the host finally joked that Angela should not participate in the ceremony anymore, and just record the VCR and send it to the National Institute of Recording and Science every time.

Because this video was filmed in Harvard's dormitory, Angela in it is completely like a big sister next door without any mature appearance. Even if she is filmed without makeup, she is still cute and beautiful, which makes many fans happy.

"It's all due to me. It seems that I can also enter the film industry and try to do photography!" Benita, who helped Angela shoot the camera, watched the live broadcast on TV, and joked triumphantly.

For Angela, the best gift in March is not the consecutive Grammy Best Single, but the first draft of the script of "The Pianist" has finally been completed!Although it is only a first draft, it can basically be finalized in Angela's eyes. Even if it is revised, nothing can be repaired, because... this is cheating.

But even so, being able to come up with a complete script within three weeks is not a small achievement, and she is getting more and more experienced in screenwriting.Now that the draft has been finalized, the next step is naturally to select actors and other preparatory work. Although it is still early, I might as well inquire about it while I am still in Boston.

So, on March 3th, the few reporters who were still guarding outside Cambridge finally found that Angela's car drove in again, and drove out again a few minutes later, they were ecstatic. After laughing at the retreating colleagues, I couldn't wait to catch up, not afraid that you might not come out if you have any tricks.

But these guys would never have imagined that not long after they left, another small black Chevrolet family car drove out of the campus to the south of Boston, and the car didn't stop until the Boston Concert Hall.

"Thank you, Mr. Cadman, I am very grateful." Angela, who got out of the car, walked to the side of the cab and lowered her head, looking at the vice provost who drove her over with a pair of smiling eyes from behind the sunglasses.

"This is the only time, no next time." Burt Cadman raised his finger and shook seriously.

"Of course, of course." Angela agreed. After the other party drove away, she put on the hat and stuffed her hair in. Then she waved to Bucket who was following her: "Come on, let's go in."

After a certain employee led a person in charge to explain the situation, Angela entered the concert hall smoothly. Walking in the familiar and unfamiliar passage, she couldn't help feeling a little bit, when was the last time she came here? 5 years ago or 6 years ago?

Turning another corner, you should see your destination, but Angela, who was thinking this way, immediately bumped into someone when she turned around.After making a muffled sound, Angela immediately covered her nose, and two tears fell down in a sour moment. Her intuition told her that her nose had collided with the opponent's chin.

"My God, this really hurts." An old man's voice sounded, and he smacked his lips as if he had been hit hard.

Although it is as familiar and unfamiliar as the passage of the concert hall, Angela took a deep breath, raised her head and exclaimed in surprise, "Mr. John?!"

"You are?" The old man rubbed his chin, adjusted his glasses and looked at the slender and sexy woman in front of him with some doubts, until the other party took off his hat and sunglasses before he became the same surprise: "Ha, so you It's already here, Angie, oh no, it should be a genius—Miss."

"Okay, it's fine if others call it that, do you still want to call me that, John?" Angela sniffed and said dissatisfied, her tearful eyes seemed quite interesting.

"If you don't like it, then I won't applaud it very much," John Williams laughed loudly. "You have been at Harvard for the second semester and you have never seen me. I thought you called me an old man. I forgot."

"How is it possible, you are my teacher." Even though Angela said this, her face was still red.

"Okay, okay, let's not talk about this, I just finished practicing with the band members, so I went out for a walk, I didn't expect you to come," John didn't dwell on this topic, "You said something on the phone Looking for me, what is it?"

He suddenly patted his head: "What are we doing here talking so much, let's go to the lounge."

Speaking of John leading the way, they soon arrived at a fairly spacious private lounge.

"Want something to drink?" John took two glasses from the cabinet.

"Purified water is fine." Angela sat down on the sofa and said bluntly: "Of course I came here to see if I can ask you to make the soundtrack for my next movie."

"Why, even Miss Genius can't handle something?" John Williams put the water glass in front of her with a smile, "Speaking of which, we are still rivals in this year's Oscars." (Note: "American Beauty" There are also soundtrack nominations, which were omitted earlier.)

"It's pretty good that I can be nominated, and the soundtrack of "American Beauty" is not particularly good." Angela shook her head and then changed the topic back: "Although I really want to try it myself, the subject matter is too heavy. Directing takes up almost all of my energy."

"Oh?" The old man raised his eyebrows, "What's the subject matter?"

""pianist"."

""pianist"?"

"Yes, the "The Pianist" that caused a sensation after it was published last year!"
