Chapter 102: You're so old-fashioned
"Simon, you must be complimenting me on purpose. In "Once Upon a Time in America", the most impressive female character should be Deborah when she was a girl. ”
"It's definitely not a compliment, Ms. Fruger. I can't say why, but I'm often attracted to the casual words of some women in movies. Maybe it's a special 'I'm sorry', or maybe it's a 'beg for mercy'. Then, I felt that they were simply charming at that moment. ”
The Coldwater Canyon community on the western edge of Beverly Hills.
At the party scene of Jonathan Friedman's house, in order to impress Robert De Niro, the agent obviously put a lot of effort into the details of the party, and specially invited some stars under MA who had worked with De Niro to attend.
Simon is talking about Hollywood actress Dalanee Frueger, who plays De Niro's girlfriend Eve in "Once Upon a Time in America".
Dalani Fruger is about thirty years old, blonde and blue-eyed, with a typical German girl appearance, but her appearance and temperament have a bit of Naomi Watts' feelings.
At this time, hearing Simon say this, Dalani Frugg looked at Simon with great interest and said, "What about me, Simon, which line of mine are you attracted to?"
Simon made a small deal and said, "Guess what." ”
Dalanee Fruger doesn't have many scenes in "Once Upon a Time in America", and after thinking for a while, she can only shake her head: "I don't know." ”
Simon listened to the woman's answer, but a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and said, "That's it, 'I don't know'." At the beginning of the movie, several thugs break into Eve's house and ask about the whereabouts of the noodles, and Eve says, I don't know, twice. Ever since I first watched Once Upon a Time in America and heard "I don't know" twice, I've always been very convinced that Eve is the most charming woman in this movie. ”
"Oh, Simon, you're very attentive and very good at talking," said Daleni Fruger, whose pretty blue eyes flashed, "So, do you think I could try out the role of Mia in 'Vulgarity'?" I handed in my resume, but unfortunately it was brushed off. ”
Westerners don't pay attention to subtlety, Simon listened to the woman take the opportunity to recommend herself, just smiled and shook his head, and said: "It's a pity, Mia's role needs to be about 180CM tall." ”
Dalanee Fruger felt a little strange about Simon's metric height measurement, but she didn't give up easily, saying, "Isn't it okay to wear high heels?"
"Mia is barefoot most of the time in the movie," Simon explained, adding, "but I think we'll definitely have a chance to work together." Perhaps, you can leave me a contact information. ”
Dalanee Frug looked at the big boy with a harmless smile in front of her, but her expression was slightly hesitant.
There was silence for a moment, and the woman was about to speak, when another white man in his thirties trotted over from the side of the villa. Approaching, the man reached out and grabbed Dalanne Fruger's waist, looked at Simon with some uncertainty, and asked the woman next to him, "Honey, what are you talking about?"
Dalanee Fruger felt the change in Simon's eyes, smiled reluctantly, and raised her hand to introduce the two: "Simon, this is my husband, Michael Small." Mike, this is Simon, Simon Westeros. ”
With the success of two consecutive films, Simon already has a very big reputation. However, he himself is not the kind of person who likes to show his head, and it is not surprising that Michael Small did not recognize him for a while.
Hearing his wife's introduction, Michael Small showed a sudden expression and stretched out his hand to Simon very enthusiastically to say hello.
After a few more conversations, Michael Small took Dalanee Frug and turned away.
Simon took a sip of his cocktail from the glass in his hand, and walked over to Sandra Bullock and Keanu Reeves, who had just been standing nearby chatting.
Seeing Simon coming, Keanu Reeves just said hello and turned to leave.
Simon looked at Keanu's figure in a hurry to suppress some emotions suspiciously, and then looked at Sandra in front of him, saw a smile on her face, and said, "What's wrong?"
"It's nothing," Sandra shook her head, but the smile on her face grew stronger, and she couldn't help but say, "I, it's just that I just heard a very impressive line." ”
Simon made a helpless expression and said, "I didn't think you still have a hobby of eavesdropping on other people's conversations." ”
Sandra gave Simon a blank look and retorted, "Keanu and I were standing here before you stopped the woman from talking, okay? I'm not deaf." ”
"Okay," Simon shrugged, "my bad." ”
Sandra made a 'it was your fault' expression, the smile on her face still didn't dissipate, she looked at Simon and said, "Don't you guess which line I was impressed by?"
Simon asked rhetorically, "Is there a reward for guessing correctly?"
Sandra grinned, "What reward do you want?"
Simon didn't answer, but deliberately narrowed his eyes and looked Sandra up and down.
The theme of today's party is more relaxed and there is no formal attire.
Sandra was wearing a black close-fitting cardigan and white slacks at this time, and the high-necked cardigan also exposed two rounded shoulders, making her look inexplicably a little more sexy.
Noticing that Simon's eyes were looking at his shoulder, Sandra suddenly felt a little weak, hurriedly retracted her smile, and deliberately made a fierce look to glare at Simon and said, "What do you see." ”
After saying this, Sandra regretted it a little.
It's so unladylike.
"It's just that a joke came to mind," Simon said, pointing to Sandra's off-the-shoulder cardigan, "and then I felt the urge to sew up the shoulders of your clothes." ”
Sew it up?
Sandra was puzzled for a moment, then raised her hand to draw a box in front of her, and said, "You're so old-fashioned." ”
Simon looked at Sandra's movements and smiled, "Have you read the script of "Vulgarity"?"
Sandra's gesture just now happens to be the same gesture that Mia does when she mocks Vincent who refuses to go to Bunny's restaurant in "Vulgar", and in old-fashioned cartoons, characters often use the form of a box to mock someone for being old-fashioned.
"Yes," Sandra nodded, with a little resentment in her eyes, "Although you didn't invite me, I still want to see if there is a suitable role for me in the script." ”
"I wanted to give you the role of a bunny. However, if you think about it, this role will not be good for your future career development, but will destroy the screen image you have built up from "Lola Run", so forget it," Simon also regretted a little, and said: "By the way, I heard that the project of "Back to the Future 2" has also been suspended, and your audition for the heroine must have been fruitless, right?"
Sandra actually thought of the character of the bunny.
If she can participate in Simon's new movie, she doesn't care what the outcome is.
However, hearing that Simon actually thought of a place with herself, and gave up this idea for her sake, the small resentment in Sandra's heart suddenly dissipated.
Hearing Simon's last question, Sandra nodded and said: "Universal is in a hurry, and has provided several production plans before and after, but Robert Zemeckis has released himself between "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" and "Back to the Future 2". So, this matter can only be delayed until next year. However, Universal has already offered to sign me for the heroine film, and Jonathan is still talking to them about the salary. ”
Simon listened to Sandra's words and said with a smile: "Then congratulations." ”
After "Lola Run", plus two destined hits in the "Back to the Future" series, Sandra's position in Hollywood will be completely consolidated. In the future, as long as there are no continuous film selection mistakes, it will not be a problem to maintain the coffee position of a first-line actress for ten or twenty years.
Sandra obviously understood the joints in this, and also smiled happily, but suddenly remembered what had just happened, and stared at Simon dissatisfied: "I was almost bypassed by you, the line just now, guess it?"
Simon said helplessly: "'This is my husband', satisfied?"
Looking at Simon's depressed expression and recalling what had just happened, Sandra couldn't help laughing again, covering her mouth and whimpering for a moment, tears squeezing out.
After a while, Sandra gloated and asked Simon, "How do you feel now?"
Simon reached out and took out a business card from his trouser pocket and shook it in front of Sandra, and said with a smile: "It's not good, someone secretly stuffed a business card, I'm still hesitant now." ”
Sandra stared at Simon's business card for two seconds, then suddenly reached out.
Simon easily dodged Sandra's little hand, slowly stuffed the card back into his pocket, and said, "This can't be given to you, if a woman steals a woman, we men will lose face." ”
Sandra's gaze disappeared into Simon's pocket with the business card before she said, "You're not really going to call, are you?"
"Didn't you just hear that? If there's a suitable movie, I'd love to work with Eve, the kind that's serious. ”
Sandra listened to Simon's righteous and awe-inspiring tone, and said with disdain: "Do you think I will believe it?"
"So, there's no need to explain this kind of thing to you women, I don't believe it anyway," Simon smiled, noticing that Jonathan and De Niro had come out of the villa together, and looked at him, and said to Sandra, "I'm going to talk to them for a while, by the way, do you want me to take you home later?"
Simon said, gesturing to the glass in Sandra's hand.
Sandra wanted to say no, her assistant Gina was nearby, and she would be sent back later.
However, after a pause, Sandra nodded and said, "Okay." ”
"That's it. ”
Simon didn't think much about it, nodded, and greeted Jonathan and the others, who had already walked over.
