. The original plan required to shoot a week of mtv, and it took only four days to complete it. There are factors that only need to be shot in the studio, but more because Angela's condition is surprisingly good and belongs to her. The shots were almost all at once, making director David amazed.
In fact, everyone can see that Angela has always been wearing a smile of contentment, joy, and happiness. I don't know what happened to make her so happy. Pu Guanshui, a bodyguard, secretly asked Did she fall in love and ended up with a grimace and a "You die!"
However, although not too far away, the girl will be so happy. Who else besides Natalie? Obviously, after Natalie said a leak that night, her heart suddenly let go. In fact, after the time at home, she tried to violate Natalie several times when she wanted to be alone, but she was afraid of losing her.
Of course, now, for the time being, this problem no longer exists. That night at the hotel, Angela finally managed to linger with Natalie again, and after Natalie said that she was leaking, she seemed to be arrogant. , And then lost in the feeling of mingling with water, and hug the girl to sleep in the morning.
"I hope this is the last time, Angie! I don't want us to not even be friends in the future." Although after waking up, Natalie seemed to have stepped out of her inner tangle and warned Angela with her teeth gritted, However, she didn't dare to look at each other from the beginning to the end, and even Angela was deaf to her ears. It is conceivable how firm she could be in such an emotion, so Angela didn't take it seriously. Until sending Natalie out, she still hugged her and kissed from time to time.
Since MTV was finished shooting, it was necessary to start propaganda to other states, so Angela reluctantly bid farewell to grandparents, and Scarlett and their family left the big apple and got along with Liv for so many days. Friends, exchanged phone numbers and addresses.
As for Natalie. Although she has been avoiding herself since the night of the hotel, Angela is not angry, anyway, there is time to meet afterwards.
Along the New York-Philadelphia-Houston-Kansas-Los Angeles line, Angela signed the sale all the way. As more than a year has passed since the last record, coupled with Disney's propaganda efforts and a little tricks-such as giving away one of the three posters immediately when buying the album, many die-hard fans have been willing. Buy more and buy more, so the first day sales reached 80,000 copies, and the first week exceeded 700,000 copies. Just one week, "Front" reached the top of the "Bulletin Board". "So" and "An Angel." The other seven songs are on the list, plus "Light", which is still up and down within a hundred, can not be ignored.
Girls have come along this way, and there are enthusiastic fans everywhere, especially now that she is no longer a girl like last year, and beautiful girls are always able to attract more people ’s attention, so there are always more than the scale of each signing Fans arrived, and while in Houston, many fans drove from other cities. Encouraging the girl, she was frequently warned by the local police.
It wasn't until three weeks later that some exhausted Angela returned to Los Angeles. Although it was very hard, there was no shortage of gains, such as the horrible dance skills, after several live performances. It's better now, but ... it's just a few.
"Sometimes you think she's stiff and completely manipulated puppets, or Angela wants to create a new dance like mj? Puppet dance?" Said Rolling Stone magazine.
"We acknowledge her musical talent. We are also amazed by her musical creativity. But as the old saying goes. God gives you something. It must take away something. Obviously for Angela. Alas. You still stand Sing there. "Bulletin Board criticized mercilessly.
"Actually. I really don't have much talent for dance. Plus I spend all my energy on music. So ---- if you find it unsightly. Just laugh out loud. I won't mind." At a certain show. The girl said so self-deprecatingly.
but. This shortcoming and the frankness of the girl made her feel a lot closer. Let more people like her. This was probably unexpected for Angela.
of course. She doesn't have much extra thought to think about it now. There is still much to be done for her. Take a look at Jessica or Lindsay. Or just go to the place where Gang and Julia came back from London to explore the attitude of the grandfather. And complete the "Brave Man Game" script, modify the Warcraft novel and so on. but. The most important thing is to invest in Pixar!
"Hey. Wait. Dear. How much do you say?" Classically in a European-style study. Jared opened his mouth and looked at his daughter in surprise. The pen in my hand was not noticed on the desk.
"Not much. Only 20 million." Angela said with a smile.
"20 million ... just?"
"Yes, I will pay interest, Dad, don't worry, everything will follow normal business procedures." The girl shrugged.
"Look, Chris, you've just been home for three days, why are you thinking about coming over to talk to me about a loan or something? What do you ... do?" Jared asked amusedly.
Angela blinked: "I thought you knew?"
"Why should I know?" Father sighed
"Because I told Mr. Sparrow what I wanted to do, didn't he tell you?" The girl spread out her hand, and as early as Sparrow came to New York to discuss with Vincent about "Azeroth's Ten Stories" 》 When it was published, she commissioned her agent to make a preliminary investigation of the current situation under Pixar.
Sparrow's homework is doing well. According to his survey, he only needs to inject about 20 million to get 30% equity. In Angela's view, this is really a good deal, but unfortunately ---- She has no money!
Oh, that's not true. To be precise, there is no liquidity, sufficient liquidity! The girl ’s current personal worth is almost close to 40 million, but under the care of his father ’s assigned team, she bought 10 million Dell and Microsoft stocks, and several million shares of a technology company called Cisco, and some others. In other cases, the working capital is only over 7 million.
It goes without saying that Dell and Microsoft, especially Microsoft, once win95 in 1995, doubled immediately, how can it not be thrown away. As for Cisco, even if it is sold, it is only a few million. If it is added to the working capital, it still does not have more than 20 million. Besides, although Cisco has no impression, it is a company that works as a network. According to Angela ’s limited financial memory, there is still considerable room for appreciation before the dot-com bubble burst in 2000. So think about it, and find out that anyway, what you want to invest in, must be allowed by his father, so just ask him to borrow it.
"You mean Steve's Pixar Animation Company?" Jared finally remembered, jokingly, "Kriss, do you think of Jack as your financial adviser?"
"Isn't it?" Angela looked at her father with her arms folded. "Anyway, you gave it to my financial management team, and I couldn't tell it."
Father smiled. Back to the topic: "Are you sure you want to do this? Honey?"
"Of course!" The girl replied affirmatively.
"Well, then, as you said, normal business procedures, give you a chance to convince me." Jared leaned on the back of the chair, folded his hands on the armrest, and looked at his daughter with a smile.
Angela opened her mouth, but found that she didn't know what to say. Could she tell her father that Pixar's 3D animation would be very, very profitable in the future? It's crazy!
"Well, that's it. At the beginning of the summer, Lisa showed me a short 3d animation made by a Pixar staff member for her. I think they did a great job if they would do a completely digitally produced 3d Animated movies, then it will definitely cause a sensation and walk down the trough! "The girl said after thinking for a few minutes, while praying that her father would not go to Lisa for support.
"Two questions!" Jared sat upright. "First, do they have plans and experience to make fully digital long-form 3d animation movies? Second, how to ensure that the 3d animation movies made can make money and save lives? The whole company? "
"Well ... I think they have been working with Disney to produce computer animation feature films, and the relevant experience should have accumulated. Their program development team also won this year's Oscar Science and Engineering Award! As for the second one, I already have related The script idea and the character's image probably, you should believe in my strength, Dad? "After thinking about it for a long time, Angela said," This is not possible, my dear, this degree can't convince me. "My father stood up and said Fingers shook.
"Oh, don't do this, Dad!" Angela stood up and looked at her father with a pleading look. "I'm not over yet!"
"This is not something that has yet to be paid, Chris," Jared said seriously. "The investment of 20 million is not large, but you must have a detailed plan and sufficient profit expectations to convince others. No In that case, no one would loan you 2 million. "
"So, dad, if these 20 million are losing money, I will quit the entertainment circle, this head office!" The girl did not care about these, said hurriedly.
"Hey, my dear, we are talking about investment, but we can't get ridiculous." Jared shrugged.
Angela closed her mouth and stared at her father for a while, then left the study angrily. The father watched his daughter leave and shook his head with a sigh of sigh, and his daughter really was not suitable for the financial industry.
He thought about it and picked up the phone on his desk:
"Yes, it's me. I need more information about Pixar Animation ..."
Eh ... I came back at 4:30 in the afternoon ... Fortunately, Mu drinking, as for the second more ...) 2k novel reading network
