Chapter 680: Help Each Other
There are many rumors about Leonardo and Gisele Bonchen.
It is said that once last year, seeing that Leonardo did not return all night, Gisele Bonson went to the club to look for it, found Leonardo buried in a pile of women, packed his bags and moved out that night, and made up his mind to break up with Leonardo.
Leonardo bought a 3.35-carat diamond ring and a diamond necklace weighing 6 carats, went straight to the hotel where Gisele Bonson was, and when the soft grinding and sweet words did not work, he had to use the last resort, bought another pink diamond ring, proposed to Gisele Bonchen, and promised to get married in the first half of this year.
Finally waiting for this day, Gisele Bonson relented and didn't know how much he forgave Leonardo.
But in some ways, Leonardo is the same kind of person as Ronan.
Therefore, Leonardo has not mentioned marriage since he gave away the ring.
It's almost September, and I don't know where the wedding is.
Probably similar in some ways, Ronan could guess Leonardo's mentality, he was in love with Gisele Bonchen, but he was afraid of being tied down, and he felt that he had a natural desire for freedom and indulgence.
Some time ago, Leonardo and Gisele Bonson attended a business event together, and when the latter confessed in public that he hoped to enter the marriage hall with Leonardo as soon as possible, Leonardo pretended not to hear and turned his head to the side.
If it weren't for that, perhaps Giselle Bonson wouldn't have become Mrs. Brady.
After the two sides exchanged pleasantries, they quickly got to the point.
Gisele Bonson had known Ronan before and said directly: "Ronan, I like Pepper Potts very much, this character is stylish, sophisticated, beautiful and capable. Although she is not the future Ji Niangniang, and she is only one of the many first-line models in the modeling circle, she is very confident: "My personality and temperament are very compatible with this role." ”
In fact, when he saw that the final candidates were Gisele Bonchen and Carolina Kokuva, Ronan was extremely inclined to Giselle Bonchen.
But Leonardo's visit specifically for this gave him something else to do.
Ronan asked, "Your audition worked well, but Giselle, why do you suddenly want to appear in a movie?"
There were also several supermodels who initially participated in Pepper's auditions, such as Heidi Krum, but Gisele Bonson was not on the list, she was later named.
Gisele Bonson glanced at Leonardo, saw that Leonardo had no objection, and said: "There is something wrong with my cooperation with Victoria's Secret, I may not be on the Victoria's Secret show from this year, except for fashion, I need to maintain a certain degree of exposure in North America, I can't play too difficult roles, movies that are not popular enough have no effect, Leo suggested that I choose your project, I fancy Pepper Potts." ”
Leonardo said to Ronan in a rare tone of admiration: "Others are not optimistic about "Iron Man", but I think you can succeed. ”
To a certain extent, he also watched how Ronan rose from the bottom step by step.
Those who have seen it have more confidence in Ronan.
Ronan said, "Let's put it this way, Giselle, you're one of the only two people in the role. ”
"I've heard that. Giselle Bonchen is not surprised: "The other candidate is Karolina Kokuva. ”
Kevin Feige was very eye-catching and took over the topic: "Miss Bonson, I would like to reiterate here that if we can reach a cooperation, there are two prerequisites. One is that you need to sign a long-term contract with Marvel Entertainment for the role of Pepper Potts, and the second is that your fame and influence in the modeling industry cannot be fully applied in the film industry, and your salary may be much lower than that of a model. ”
Gisele Bonson is a smart man, and he has already considered Leonardo more than once when he has heard about Ronan's past: "It's okay, I don't care about the salary, what I care about is the influence that the film can bring me." ”
Compared with most supermodels, Gisele Bonson is very business-minded, since she really became famous, she has been using fame and influence to expand the business territory, and now she has achieved a small success, and the high exposure of future supermodels and celebrities is the best commercial.
Gisele Bonchen admires Leonardo's vision of taking over the movie, and Leonardo privately admires Ronan's vision, so Gisele Bonchen believes that the project selected by Leonardo has a great possibility of being a hit.
A long-term contract is a restriction for Hollywood actors, but for Gisele Bonson, it is equivalent to a long-term advertisement.
Gisele Bonson said: "I don't have a problem. ”
Ronan smiled and said, "Giselle, I will let you know as soon as there is news. ”
Gisele Bonchen sighed secretly and did not continue, this kind of private struggle must also be stopped.
"Okay. Gisele Bonson said with a smile: "I am very much looking forward to the call from the crew. ”
After a few polite sentences, she said goodbye and left, and Kevin Feige and Jon Favreau were sent to the door out of politeness.
Leonardo deliberately fell behind and came to Ronan's side: "Can you talk a little?"
Ronan nodded: "Of course." ”
"What this project needs is an excellent vase, and as long as the basic conditions are qualified, it doesn't make much difference who chooses. Leonardo has been in the industry for many years, and this simple thing can still be understood: "Am I right?"
Ronan looked at Leonardo, had an idea, and said, "Of course, choose the best and most cost-effective one." ”
Leonardo seems to really have a special affection for Giselle Bonchen: "Do me a favor, I know we are not friends, when I owe you a favor." ”
"No, I don't. Ronan said casually, "You can do me a small favor." ”
"Leo!" Giselle Bonson called Leonardo from the outside.
"Say it. Leonardo still got a vaccination in advance: "It won't be too difficult, right?"
Ronan lowered his voice and said a few quick words, Leonardo was surprised: "Just talk about the past?"
"Of course. Ronan won't tell Leonardo specifically, and he won't expect too much, he has done a lot before, but it just adds up: "I don't need you to do more, and it won't affect your relationship, old friends meet for a meal and chat." ”
Leonardo thought about it carefully, and it was true, it was normal for old friends to catch up, and immediately responded: "Okay." Don't worry, I do what I say. ”
Ronan shook hands with Leonardo, who is also in Hollywood and has a good reputation.
Leonardo stepped out of the conference room and walked outside with Giselle Bonchen.
"What did you talk to him about?" said Giselle-Bonson, curious.
Leonardo has always been very good at selling well in front of women: "Let him do him a favor and give you this role." ”
Gisele Bonchen grabbed Leonardo's arm: "Aren't you unfriendly?"
"It's that there's no friendship. Leonardo shrugged slightly: "So, I'll also do him a little favor." ”
Gisele Bonchen leaned over and kissed Leonardo on the cheek: "Thank you, Leo. Then he asked, "Don't you be embarrassed, right?"
Leonardo was in a good mood and said casually: "A little thing, not worth mentioning." ”
The two got into the car, and Gisele Bonson asked, "Do you think this movie will be a hit?"
Leonardo said: "I know Ronan better than most people in this circle, because I used to think he was a failure, but he has succeeded in breaking my perception again and again. Giselle, Ronan first spent a huge amount of money to buy Marvel, and then invested $150 million to shoot and produce "Iron Man", if he is not sure, will he do it?"
Gisele Bonson is also very business-minded, nodded slowly and said: "If it were me, I would never do this without great certainty." ”
"If it were another producer, he would be confident and sure, and it may be that a few successes have caused his confidence to be overly inflated. The mature Leonardo sees the problem far more clearly than the average Hollywood person: "But Ronan is different, his self-confidence has been tested by too many film projects." ”
Gisele Bonson said: "I trust your judgment that this collection will definitely be another successful career for me outside of modeling. ”
"I'll make a phone call. Leonardo picked up his phone, dialed a number, waited for the other side to connect, and said, "It's me, Leo." Some time ago, you hid, I couldn't contact you, I heard that you came out, so I quickly called you, lest you hide under the Pacific Ocean or the Atlantic Ocean, and when do you have time, have a meal together? What can I do, I haven't seen you for a long time, get together. ”
The other side quickly responded.
Leonardo put away his phone: "Honey, tomorrow night, someone will come to our house as a guest." ”
Hughes Aircraft Plant, conference room.
"Karolina Kokova and Gisele Bonchen are not too much apart. Jon Favreau, knowing that he had no decision-making power, asked, "Which one do we choose?"
Kevin Feige looked at Ronan, and Ronan said directly, "Giselle Bonson." ”
As Gisele Bonson becomes more and more famous, the role of Little Pepper may also attract a large number of fans in the future.
used to be a fan of Ji Niangniang, and she has already stepped out of the fashion circle.
To exaggerate it, the former Gisele Bonson has reached the peak since the emergence of supermodels in terms of business and influence.
In terms of business, no one is sure if there will be anyone who will come later, but the height that Gisele Bonchen has gone to can be said to be unprecedented.
Gisele Bonson is paid extremely well for modeling, but in the actor industry, the first film is only paid $100,000.
Ronan also thought that if Gisele Bonson responded better, he could add some Pepper scenes, and perhaps with the help of Gisele Bonson's later achievements, he would bring a different Pepper to the movie.
After "Iron Man" signed the actress actor, Jeff Bridges was finalized to play the villain Iron Overlord, and all the main actors were present.
But when it comes to the roles in the later films, the actors sign long-term contracts.
The film will begin filming in January or February next year, with an expected shooting date of three months, and then be officially released in the summer of 2006, thus kicking off the Avengers series.
