On Natalie's last birthday, Donn had a brainstorm and created a "blackout" storm in the Star Wars studio, using candles to create a vast night sky, and swaying the romance to the fullest.

As a result, the two established their relationship and changed from friends to lovers.

This time, Don wants to repeat his old tricks and take the relationship between the two further.

The clever Natalie, apparently discovering his intentions, resolutely refuses.

She is already an eighteen-year-old girl, and she is still perfect, which is almost impossible in Hollywood. Even a few good sisters in her school secretly laughed at her.

Of course, Natalie wanted to try it out and see what kept Don so happy.

However, with her IQ, she quickly figured out that keeping a distance from Don at this stage was the best choice.

There are too many leprechauns in Hollywood, and one after another, coming from all over the world, endlessly.

It's impossible for Natalie not to worry, and to insist on keeping her body, letting Don En ask for it, and always having a constant pursuit and mystery about her body is the best means to maintain the relationship between the two.

After a few hints, Don understood her thoughts, and gently put her in his arms, without saying anything.

He has no shortage of women, and physical pleasures are called. The relationship with Natalie is more of a spiritual pursuit.

Of course, Don wants to break through the last layer of relationship with Natalie, but since she wants to defend herself, Don will definitely respect her choice.

Speaking of birthday presents, Natalie made a request that made Don stunned-

"I want to make movies. ”

Natalie's idea was simple, the university's acceptance letter was issued in December, and she had a gap of more than half a year.

Of course, she understood Don En's idea of letting her rest and relax, but watching Tang En's hard work to make a movie, she was leisurely, how awkward she looked.

Don was a little speechless, he had previously rejected Shirley Hirschler's film offer to Natalie, because he didn't want Natalie to star in a bad movie.

But at Natalie's age, unless she plays some very inconspicuous small supporting roles, it is really hard to find a movie that can make her have a brilliant performance.

Unless Don Pictures personally shoots!

Don had enough ideas in his head.

But the point is that now that Don Pictures has no money, it can't veto the filming plan of "A Beautiful Mind" and tailor it for Natalie, right?

He had promised Nicole Kidman.

Donn contacted Hilda Qualley, who said something similar to his guess that there is currently no script for Natalie, unless she is willing to play some inconsequential role.

Sitting in the office, Don leaned back in the boss's chair, half-squinted, and muttered silently.

Natalie is the person Don cares about the most, and he will definitely do his best to meet her request, not to mention that this is a birthday present?

"Reese, come in!"

Through the telephone, Don summoned a secretary.

"What's the matter?"

"What script do we have now?"

"What?" Reese Witherspoon frowned slightly as if she saw Done's intentions, "Done, I want to remind you that we have launched the Spider-Man project, and the script of A Beautiful Mind is being adapted according to your intentions, and there is no extra energy and money to make another movie." ”

"I know!" Tang En waved his hand, "Invest between 30 million and 40 million, literary films, mainly for awards." ”

Reese gave him a deep look, "Is that Nat?"

"Well, you're smart. Don En smiled a little wryly, "She is a little idle, and she wants to make a movie to hone her acting skills." ”

Reese raised the corner of her eye and reacted, "Are you going to ...... Abandon "A Beautiful Mind" and switch to another movie?"

Don shrugged, "Is there anything else possible besides this?"

"What about Nicole?"

Don has a headache, Nicole Kidman has read the book "A Beautiful Mind" three times, and plans to visit her in the near future to communicate with Mrs. Nash in person, and live by her side for a while to study, research, and figure out the characters.

Such a hard-working, professional actor, looking at the world, there is only Hollywood.

"It's really not good, just open a multi-heroine play, and let Nicole and Nat play it, hmm...... Maybe you can play a role, and Naomi can do it too. ”

"I'm not going, I'm the heroine now!" Reese Witherspoon rolled her eyes, but a flash of inspiration flashed in her mind, "How many heroines? Donn, I suddenly thought of two scripts. ”

"Oh? ”

"The first one is called 'Fallen Sisters.' ”

Don hasn't heard of it, "The original script of our screenwriting department?"

"Well, I love this script so much. Reese said with two glows, "It's about a pair of sisters who are lonely. In order to take care of her sister, my sister married a rich bastard, and when my sister grew up, she was slim and tainted by this bastard, and then ......"

"It's challenging the bottom line of the American people, and it's not good for Nat's image. Don immediately interrupted Reese, since it was "Fallen Sisters", the result must have been through the struggle of human nature, social constraints and moral kidnapping, the sisters chose to settle down.

The story is very avant-garde, but this is the value of challenging American imperialism, which is the category of B-grade films. Mainstream films, whether commercial or artistic, do not cross the red line.

For example, "Billy Lynn's Halftime Fight" was reviled and condemned in North America.

Natalie doesn't need hype, and There's no way Don wants her to star in an overly controversial film, "What's the next script?"

"It's an adaptation of a novel, "The Soul Shifter". ”

"Soul Girl?"

Don's eyes lit up, the copyright of this novel, which Downe Pictures got two years ago, was pinned on by Manora Daggis. As long as there are the right directors and actors, it is very likely to hit the Oscar for Best Picture.

The theme of this movie is very much in line with the taste of Lao Mei, and it is also the favorite of the Oscars, which is equivalent to the female version of "One Flew Over the Asylum", but the theme is more distinct and profound.

It's just that the original version of "Soul Shifting Girl" hired a rookie director, and the female number one Winona Ryder had mediocre acting skills, which seriously limited the expressiveness of the movie.

However, the supporting actress Angelina Jolie won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress with her outstanding performance in the movie, thus embarking on the road to superstardom.

Reese Witherspoon said: "This is an adaptation of Susanna's novel about her being sent to a psychiatric hospital, where she meets many unusual women, and it is a typical multi-heroine movie." ”

Don slapped him hard, "Let Manola come here!"

……

The next day, there was an internal meeting within Donn Pictures, and the topic was about the two movies "Spider-Man" and "Soul Girl".

The script of "Spider-Man" is the framework proposed by Donn, because the Marvel universe is very vast and the timeline is very long, so it is frozen in the high school years of "Peter Parker".

The script was written by Nina Jacobson, president of Marvel Studios, with the Marvel Entertainment Creative Committee providing the element outline, and the Marvel Studios Screenwriting Department responsible for writing;

It was then handed over to the parent company's market analysis department, which was reviewed by Andrew O'Hare and proposed for further adaptation by the writers at Down Pictures.

Hollywood is a streamlined film industry, and it is normal for a script to be adapted by twenty or thirty screenwriters.

As for "Soul Shifting Girl", Don En directly put forward a clear film framework and theme requirements -

"Each of us will experience sadness, pain, and even despair at some point in our lives. But we must be like a warrior, through this emotional sandstorm, and only after experiencing baptism can we truly move forward with our feet on the ground, no longer swaying, no longer wandering, no longer staying. If you refuse everything to happen because of fear, you will stagnate and grow, and you will end up trapped in a dark and small space, and become your own demon. When pain comes into life, first accept it, then experience it, and eventually cross it. ”

To this end, art analyst Manola Daggis led the screenwriting team of Down Pictures to stop the rewriting of "A Beautiful Mind" and instead began to adapt the novel "Soul Shifter", the heroine is based on Nicole Kidman, and the second female lead is based on Natalie Portman.

At the same time, Donn's casting assistant Glenn Feiero also looked for a needle in a haystack and set out to choose a suitable director for "The Soul Shifter".
