Hollywood Secret Garden

"I want to say, baby, you scared me." After watching Nancy and George leave, Elena turned her head to look at her daughter and said, her eyes were full of surprise and love.

"Because we're made of meat?" The little girl blinked.

Elena then leaned down, pinched her daughter's face affectionately and amusedly: "No matter what you are made of, you are my daughter!"

"Okay, I know what you want to say, but Mom, all this is actually a misunderstanding. I just want to earn some pocket money." Angela said seriously. Compared with the previous lies, she was the first time Tell the truth.

This is normal. For American families, it is almost a tradition for their children to use their vacations to earn pocket money. Although the children are small, they can't do many things-such as delivering newspapers or something, but this is not only exercise. Having children and saving expenses, so even for rich families like them.

Of course, these are not mandatory, and parents will not actively ask for them. They are often just reminders, for example, children have to prove themselves, or there is such a way to achieve their goals when pocket money is not enough.

In fact, for Angela, she has no such needs at all. Of course, she will not pursue fluffy dolls or beautiful Barbie dolls like ordinary girls, and her 8 years of otaku life is almost exhausting. All her aggressiveness was gone.The reason why she thought of earning some pocket money was because Hasbro launched two new limited-edition models of Brother Zhu and Brother Tian this year. She dared to bet that these two models had never appeared before, at least in It has never appeared in China. As men who came from that era, Transformers are definitely something they are obsessed with, so even Angela, who has always been "heart-like", was moved.

However, this waste material who is used to being free has no interest in delivering newspapers early in the morning, so she chose the easiest way to make money as a reborn person, yes, that's right, plagiarism!What?You said the easiest way is to buy stocks?Oh, of course, you can make a lot of money by buying Microsoft or Apple stocks in the 80s. Even people who are nerds should know about these two companies, otherwise, what do you use for nerds?

However, money is not the problem, the problem is no money!Have you ever seen a child of how old ask his parents for money to buy stocks?Angela was also ambitious at the beginning. Ao Ao said that since the old lady (?) was reborn, she could build her own financial empire. However, when she tried to ask her father for money and declared that she wanted to buy stocks, Jerry De very readily gave her 10 dollars, and said that if it was not enough, she could overdraft the allowance for a whole year, so she had no choice but to give up in the end.

"The fact that the short sci-fi was the one I was really trying to make money on, the script for 'A Couple Made' was just a spur of the moment, and 'The Lion King' was written to pass the time, I didn't think about it that much at the time .” The little girl said swearingly, but, obviously, her mother didn’t care about this.

"Okay, honey, I know how smart you are, and I know you are very good, I just want to say that when you decide what to do, you must tell us, don't let us worry, okay?" He squatted down in front of her, leaned against her forehead, stared at her and said softly.

"I see, Mom, I'm sorry." Angela's voice also lowered, she didn't want her mother to worry, but she really didn't know what to say, no matter how good she was, she was still just an 11-year-old girl , I believe that most parents, after hearing that their 11-year-old children are going to write scripts and science fiction novels to make money, probably just encourage them verbally and then laugh it off.

However, with Miss Nancy's visit now, she is relieved that everything has been clarified. At least her mother is not too surprised. She doesn't want her mother to treat her like a monster. She loves her. This is her home. As buried deep in memory long ago.

"Okay, after saying sorry, should I know what to do?" Irene smiled and looked at her daughter.

Three black lines immediately hung down on Angela's head, she pursed her lips forcefully, and said helplessly, "I will practice for half an hour longer."

Little Loli sat down straight on the chair in the living room, and at the same time put three books thick with index fingers on her head. This is one of Eileen's etiquette training-keep this posture for at least 30 minutes. It is said that except In addition to exercising your posture, you can also exercise your willpower and concentration.

But Angela scoffed at this. At least she never felt that her willpower and concentration had been exercised. It was true that her waist was sore, her legs hurt, and her head was dizzy every time she finished. Of course, these words can only be said in her heart. On the surface, you still have to do the training in a regular manner.

Although there was an extra half an hour today, the little guy didn't complain at all, on the contrary, she was a little elated, because she managed to make Erin ignore the receipt of her check exchange.

You know, for an 11-year-old kid, it is almost impossible to cash a check-of course, almost.

Remember what Macaulay King did in Home Alone 2?Yes, movies can't be life, but life occasionally has movies, and it's actually very simple to trick my father into signing, so I must not let my mother know about it, otherwise the consequences will be serious!Even if everything I have done has been exposed, my mother will definitely hold me accountable for this kind of thing. Well, to be precise, I am looking for excuses to increase my etiquette training, so it is important for my own happiness anyway. shut up!

"To be honest, I thought there would be a little harvest today, but it didn't. There were some very, very big gains. I really can't believe it. You know, Nancy, that's just an 11-year-old kid!" George waved one hand He was talking endlessly about the animated script of "The Lion King" in his hand. In such a state of mind, Nancy had to remind him: "You are driving, George."

"Yes, I'm driving, I know, nothing will happen, Nancy, but 20 yards an hour, I can control," he continued waving his hand with the folder, "I want to sign this girl, Screenwriter or actor, it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter if you can't sign a long-term contract, or the Children's Association has to supervise at any time, this is not a problem, I believe that as long as she can be signed, a little manipulation will definitely be of great benefit to Disney Films !"

"Okay, George, you're just the leader of the editorial team, do you have the confidence to convince the board of directors?" Nancy asked with a sigh.

"It's still very difficult if we only rely on the script of "A Couple Born", but with the animation script of "The Lion King", as long as the gentlemen on the board have a little bit of brains, they will definitely agree." George said and looked at Nancy. Nancy may not be clear, but as George, who once held a position in the head office, he understands the meaning of the animated script of "The Lion King". , will absolutely ignore anything.

"How about letting her play the twins in "A Couple Made in China"? One person plays two roles!" George said suddenly.

Nancy was stunned. In fact, when she left Mason's house, she had already faintly thought about it. Angela's performance has obviously far exceeded what an 11-year-old girl should have. Besides, she is also the author of the script. The grasp of the characters is definitely stronger than others, and she herself admits that the creation is based on her own family. It can be said that the two characters are her incarnations at all, but the problem is...

"Of course I agree, but George, are you sure you can convince her guardian to let her make a movie?" Nancy shrugged.

George opened his mouth, but he didn't say anything. This is indeed the biggest problem. As long as the Children's Association implements their regulations, there will be no problem. The gentlemen on the board of directors are very pragmatic. As long as it is sure that it is profitable, they will It's not a problem, but as we have seen before, Angela's family is not a middle-class family. Will rich people like them let their children make movies?Even if it is of a playful nature, it is only after the child can exercise his own power when he is an adult, so how can he convince her parents?

"See if this works, Nancy, if I can convince the board of directors, you can talk to Miss Mason alone." George said suddenly.

"Talk alone?" Of course Nancy knew what he was thinking, but why not? .To be honest, she has been in Hollywood for so many years, and she is considered a well-known independent producer in the industry, but the atmosphere of contempt for female producers here still makes her feel powerless, which is also one of the bad habits of Hollywood, so here There are countless female stars, but few female directors and producers.What Nancy lacks now is a heavyweight work. Although "The New Father-in-Law" is very good, it is a remake after all. First of all, the audience is a little narrower, not to mention some critics who are born to be naive. Be picky and nag.

The appearance of "A Natural Couple" brightened her eyes. The script is very interesting, romantic and lively, as if it was tailor-made for her. If it is indeed produced by her in the end, she has absolute confidence that it will be It's made the most successful movie out there, so if Angela gets in, she's at least 90 percent sure it'll be stellar.

Nancy did not overestimate the little girl. Although she only had contact with her for a few short 10 minutes, and most of the time she focused on the script, this did not prevent her from observing Angela. Unlike George, she Pay more attention to the little girl's conversation and knowledge, so Nancy is very clear that although the little guy is about the same age as her two daughters, she doesn't know how much mature psychologically, and she fully believes that Angela is qualified for this role.

"Okay, I will, George." Nancy agreed without hesitation, "I'll wait for your news."
