Hollywood Secret Garden

"Have you participated in any performances before this? School plays also count."

"I have acted in four dramas, two of which have played the main role and the other two are live props. Of course, they are all fairy tales. If poetry recitation is also counted, then it can barely be counted as a little experience."

"What do you think of Hermione as a girl?"

"Smart, confident, proud, unyielding, and stubborn at the same time, takes discipline very seriously, and speaks directly without mercy."

"What do you think you have in common with Hermione, and what are the differences?"

"The same thing is that we are all smart, confident and have the belief that we will never give up until we reach our goals; the biggest difference is that I am not as stubborn as Hermione. If one method does not allow me to achieve my goal, then use another method."

Seeing Xia Xia, who was surrounded by the crowd but answered the questions fluently without any stage fright, Angela felt quite relieved and proud.She didn't deny what Rowling said before that the effort spent on the little guy's appearance had added a lot of points to Xia Xia, otherwise why would she take Xia Xia to Bolevard and Bajit?But the maturity and innocence shown by Xia Xia at this time belonged entirely to her—well, if she had to do the math, her subtle influence on her should be regarded as a kind of help.

"You can always surprise me, Angie." Rowling, who was sitting with Angela, retracted her gaze at this moment, and then sighed, "I accompanied Chris and the others to read a lot of little girl's information and The video tape, it wasn't until you showed up with Xia Xia that you realized that the person you were looking for was right in front of you."

"It's not surprising. There is a proverb that says: It is always dark under the oil lamp. It is normal for you not to think about the people around you." Angela said comfortingly, "Besides, you are not the main person in charge of casting. "

"Who said I didn't think about the people around me." Rowling glanced at Angela and said something in a low voice, then raised her eyebrows and said calmly: "It sounds like you are boasting about your unique vision, aren't you?"

Angela immediately rolled her eyes, and called out in a more emphatic tone: "Joe!"

"Okay, okay, I'm just a little jealous," Magic Mom raised her hands helplessly, "Actually, Xia Xia played Hermione more than once when playing with Jessie, and I just remembered it. "

At this point, she paused, and suddenly laughed: "However, I think Chris and the others may be even more depressed. They were really busy with the previous busyness and the preparations that started at the end of last year."

Especially Chris, who has to read at least hundreds of children's materials every day, and always yells that these children have no magic power.But you easily solved a big problem when you came here. If you weren't the boss, he might pull you to ask you to stay and participate in the casting. "

"I don't think we can't do it without me, and I believe that Chris's enthusiasm is enough to solve these problems. You must know that he has drawn the storyboards of the movie." Angela waved her hand indifferently.

Rowling didn't say anything more, but picked up the magic school robe that Xia Xia took off and looked at it carefully: "If you guessed right, this dress should be designed by you, right?"

Then she pulled out the wand from the inside of the robe: "Excellent work of art, vine wood, 15 inches, it should be Hermione's wand, I don't know if there is really a dragon heart tendon in it..."

"If you are willing to provide it, I will have someone redo it immediately." Angela said with a smile while sipping black tea.

The magic mother smiled and shook her head, put the wand on the coffee table, and then looked at Angela without blinking: "Have you considered designing costumes and props for this movie, Angie?"

Angela, who was holding a teacup, was slightly taken aback: "Why did you suddenly have this idea, Joe?"

"The designers who made costumes for the film have come up with several proposals, but I was still not satisfied until this costume appeared in front of me," Rowling pointed to the robe and inner garment that Xia Xia took off, " It’s pretty good, it’s both fashionable and classic, and with a slight change in color, the four colleges can be distinguished, it’s worthy of being an Oscar winner for best costume.”

"Hmm... this..." Angela's face turned red, she was too busy getting clothes and props for Xia Xia, but forgot to ask the crew how the Hogwarts school uniform was designed, so...

"And this wand, so I won't repeat it," the magic mother continued, "We've known each other for almost ten years, Angie, you watched me write this novel, so I think you design these Props are going to be great."

After all, Angela has done too many of the same things, so she quickly adjusted and spread her hands regretfully: "I'm sorry, Joe, you know I always have too many things to be busy. You can't Putting an important matter in the hands of someone who isn't very professional — well, it should be said that he doesn't care about it."

She paused at this point, and then laughed when she thought of something: "Why don't you try to design it yourself? Since you can describe the scene in your mind with words, why can't you describe it again with pictures? Besides, there are still some problems here. There are so many professionals out there who can help you. Give it a try, Joe."

"The professional I'm looking at refuses to help me." Rowling rolled her eyes and took a sip from her teacup, but she could see that she was still a little tempted by this proposal, so Angela persuaded her while the iron was hot: "Don't Well, Joe. I do have something else to do, but you can call me when you need it."

Rowling shook her head helplessly, and then changed the subject: "So you plan to officially announce that you have come to London today? There are at least twice as many reporters outside."

"It's been arranged a long time ago, it's just that there is a little deviation." Angela pouted, today is her 20th birthday, and she hasn't celebrated her birthday in London since she started school, so grandpa prepared for her A large-scale party, she also plans to use this party to tell the public that she has come to the UK.

But it is not easy to keep it secret if you hold a large party. Early this morning, paparazzi all over the UK ran outside the manor to wait.Fortunately, Angela only went back once in the past two days because of Xia Xia's affairs, and stayed in the hotel most of the time, otherwise it would still be a problem whether she could come out of the manor today.Even so, there were quite a few reporters on the company's premises staying outside, and it took a lot of effort to hide and hide when they came in.

"God, it's finally over." Xia Xia's voice came over at this moment.

The little girl sat down next to Angela and let out a long breath, and then showed a sweet smile to Rowling: "Aunt Rowling, I don't want to complain, it's just that there will be more torture like this." It will be really exhausting if you do it again.”

"Okay, little guy, don't take advantage of it and act like a good boy." Angela fiercely hugged her into her arms and ravaged her before letting go, "You performed very well, you are worthy of pride."

It's not in vain that I have spent so much effort.

Xia Xia made a grimace before speaking, and Chris Columbus' voice rang out: "Miss Emma's performance is indeed surprising, and Angie's vision is also excellent. If possible, can you participate in the rest of the casting work? ?”

Angela immediately rolled her eyes and looked at Rowling, while the magical mother had already covered her mouth with a smile.

There were quite a few people invited to Angela's 20th birthday party. Apart from the brains behind the preparation of "Harry Potter" and Rowling, Xia Xia and other close people, there were also many irrelevant ones, such as those who were closely related The family or the business partners of relatives and friends, etc.

Although Angela couldn't help but complain in her heart, "My birthday party has become a place for socializing", but she didn't show it, after all, it was Grandpa's wish.Besides, even before she stepped into the entertainment circle, the birthday party she held was not less a place for socializing.

The good news is that her parents, uncle, and aunt all came to London from Los Angeles. The aunt with a slightly protruding belly has shown signs of being rich, and she is often worried that her figure will lose shape after giving birth.At this time, my uncle would comfort me and say some nasty words like "you are always the most beautiful in my heart", which made Angela who was watching roll her eyes non-stop.

It's a pity that the three troublemakers couldn't make the trip because they were going to school, otherwise they don't know what kind of trouble they will have with Xia Xia, especially Xia Xia has already confirmed that she will play the role of Hermione.

"The party that grandpa held for you can be described as perfect, my dear." In the lively atmosphere, the father said to his daughter while observing the environment of the manor. The surrounding layout combined classical and fashionable styles, which is rare for the old duke Ken let people move around like this in the manor.

"Yeah, I was surprised too." Angela nodded, she was still very grateful for grandpa's kindness, but then changed the topic: "I'm even more surprised that you actually put down your work and came here from Los Angeles. "

"Since when is it surprising to attend your daughter's birthday party?" Jared raised his eyebrows.

"I thought you would be busy with business in the company. You know, the stock market has been turbulent these days." Angela said deliberately serious, it seemed that she wanted to show something.

"Let professionals do professional things, we just need to grasp the general direction, don't we?" Father smiled slightly, how could he not see her little thought.

Angela finally couldn't hold her breath: "Although it was with your help that I was able to cash out the Cisco stock perfectly, anyway, if I hadn't successfully predicted the decline of technology stocks, the 25 billion might have been lost. net!"

"May lose some, but not too much." Father still had that smiling expression, he thought for a few seconds before opening his mouth again: "Actually, I had plans to attack Cisco, and I also I have arranged a retreat for the 25 billion worth of stock in your hand, but I have always hesitated, after all, at that time Cisco was still very large at least from the outside."

After a pause, the father continued: "Of course, it was your call that made me finally make up my mind. Since my daughter trusts me so much and provides such a sum of money, how can I let her down?"

At first, Angela pretended to be indifferent, but then her mouth opened wider and wider, and she was speechless.In the end, her father patted her on the shoulder: "Don't force yourself, Chris, we all understand some things, it's nothing, it's not difficult to accept, besides, I've never been too demanding, have I? Let's have a good time today Bar."

After her father left her side, Angela suddenly became dejected. At this moment, she just wanted to squat to the corner of the wall and hug the pillow and bite it.Originally, she thought that she could be proud of winning. Even if she cashed out the stock with her father's help, how could she do it without her "foresight"?However, what her father said just now made her understand that everything is actually still in the hands of her father.

"This is so tragic, how could this happen!" Angela murmured depressed and sadly, "Okay, okay, as long as my plan goes well, I will never touch anything related to business from now on! Never again !"

Although she was hit hard by her father on her birthday, she still had to cheer up to deal with the guests.Chatting with Rowling and Columbus somewhat relieved her depressed mood, and Xia Xia, who sometimes pretended to be mature and sometimes mischievous and cute, made her smile a lot, but what made Angela most happy was Kate's arrival.

"I'm sorry I'm late. There are reporters and paparazzi everywhere outside the manor." Kate in a windbreaker took a few steps forward, opened her arms with a smile and gave Angela a big hug.

"It's okay, I'm very happy if you can come." Angela hugged Kate's waist, her lower body was attached to her lower abdomen and her upper body was slightly leaned back, quite like a little lover.

Kate stared into her eyes for a few seconds as if about to kiss, but finally coughed softly: "Angie."

Waking up, Angela quickly let go of her hand, and looked around with a guilty conscience. Fortunately, the servants and guests were all on the back lawn, there was no one on the vestibule side, and the gate of the manor was in the other direction.

"Let's go, let's go, let's go to the back." She said and took Kate's arm affectionately.

"You know, you look so beautiful today." Kate looked Angela up and down as she walked.

"Thank you, many people praised me as beautiful as a princess today." Having said that, Angela's tone was not at all happy, she pulled up the corner of her skirt and waved it, then let it go depressed.

Frankly speaking, this pink and white corset dress not only exudes temperament, but also sets off the graceful figure. With the addition of those small accessories, necklaces, earrings, etc., the beauty displayed makes every man admire Will not move his eyeballs.However, this is exactly what Angela doesn't like.

"So I would rather hold a party with only a few people than make it so... grand." Angela sighed, getting used to it is one thing but being indifferent is another.

Kate shrugged her shoulders to express her understanding, but leaned back with her other hand, as if to cover up something, and Angela noticed this movement immediately: "What are you holding?"

"Hmm..." Kate thought for a few seconds, then handed the rectangular box wrapped in ribbon to her hand: "Birthday present for you."

"Wow," Angela who took it showed a surprised expression, "Can I open it now?"

"If possible... I think it's better to open it in my room when I'm alone." Although Kate spread her hands with a smile, her eyes wandered a little.

"Oh?" Angela raised her eyebrows, rolled her emerald green eyes, and then suddenly pulled Kate into the house.

"Wait, Angie, where are we going?" Kate was a little confused, "Don't you still have guests?"

"The party has been held for a while, so it's okay for me to disappear for a few minutes, isn't it?" Angela waved her hand indifferently, and took Kate straight to her room. After entering the room, she closed the door and opened it without saying a word. up the box.

Kate smiled and shook her head: "I hope...you won't be too..."

"What the hell..." Angela asked without looking back, but soon realized why Kate was so vague, because the gift in the box was... a set of erotic lingerie!A set of hollow black lace lingerie!

The corners of Angela's mouth twitched a little, and she put down the thing in her hand after a while, and looked at Kate strangely: "Very well, it seems that your interest in me has shifted away from the uniform."

Angela wears a lot of nurses, policemen, OLs, etc. in Kate's house for fun—basically they are all worn under coercion.

"Come on, besides, I'll wear it too, won't I?" Kate folded her arms leisurely.

"What a unique birthday present!" After throwing the underwear back into the box, Angela walked up to Kate with her hands on her hips and looked at her intently.

"Barely considered chic," Kate shrugged with a smile. "Although I have learned it for about two months, there are still many shortcomings in making it."

"You did it yourself?" Angela raised her eyebrows in surprise.

"Of course, don't you always only like gifts made by me?" Kate blinked.

"So you went to study for two months?" A warm current reverberated in Angela's chest, and she wrapped her hands around Kate's neck and said nothing.They both stared at each other silently, and after a long time, their lips kissed together. This was a kiss that was neither warm nor lengthy but worthy of deep aftertaste.

"Kate."

"Ok?"

"There is something I planned to tell you in a few days, but it's no big deal to say it today."

"I am listening?"

"I want you to play a role in the next movie I will direct. I want you to do your best to play this role well. I want you to play 200% of your strength. If I approve..."

"How about it?"

"You're going to get another role, a role that could hit the Best Actress Oscar!"
