Chapter 138: Natalie, who is not confident

The secretary is also a more important role by Donne's side, and of course he can't arrange a vase.

Ira Fisher may not have the same lofty background as Reese Witherspoon, but she is a writer, which gives Donn the confidence to appoint.

Especially after Bill McNick pointed out the "three impossibilities" of his acquisition of Universal Pictures, Donn urgently needed to strengthen his position and influence.

The Oscars are the main direction, and the side forces are also indispensable.

Writing a book is another of Donn's methods!

Don hasn't read many books, but he's a movie buff and has seen too many movies, many classic movies, based on bestsellers.

For example, Don authorized Ella Fisher to write it.

Don doesn't mind adding another "best-selling author" to his titles as a capitalist, businessman, director, producer, and screenwriter.

In March, the post-production was officially completed, and Towne Pictures also cooperated with Universal Pictures to launch pre-release publicity work.

Although the propaganda has been blocked by ABC and Fox, NBC and CBS will not refuse the lure and influence of money.

The crew that can be attracted to participate in a talk show is the guarantee of ratings and hot headlines.

Don obstructed Disney and Fox behind his back, and remained silent, as if he had swallowed his anger.

But those who know him well know that this guy is by no means a good lord.

Today you can give him a black foot, and tomorrow he can give you a black shot!

It's just that Donne, who is weak now, didn't show his edge, he and the crew rushed to New York to participate in a talk show.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Donn and Scott Swift completed a major layout in the futures market. At the same time, I went to Cambridge City in Boston.

Harvard has already started, and Natalie Portman has officially become a college student at Harvard.

But when he saw Natalie again, Don saw not relief, but haggard and confused.

Natalie's face was yellow, and her pretty face was still beautiful, but she showed tiredness and gloom that she couldn't hide, and she couldn't open the joy of coming to study at the world's top school.

Tang En was a little panicked, took her in his arms, and asked with concern, "What's wrong?

Natalie flattened her mouth and almost burst into tears.

At the end of the day, she's not yet 19 years old.

Tang En was even more nervous, hugged her tightly, his heart was ruthless, and he gritted his teeth and said: "I know that there are many people from wealthy families at Harvard, but don't be afraid! Nat, tell me, who bullied you? No matter who it is, I can't spare him!"

Natalie bit her lip and shook her head gently, "No, no one bullied me. ”

Tang En raised his eyebrows, "What the hell is going on?"

Natalie wrinkled her nose stubbornly, as if she didn't want to say anything.

Tang En said with a bitter face: "I said eldest lady, what is the relationship between us? You are my girlfriend, ...... in the future." You'll be my wife, we're the closest people. ”

Natalie was silent for a long time before she squeaked, "I feel ...... I don't deserve to be here. ”

"Huh?" Donn was stunned for a moment, "Nat, what are you talking nonsense?"

Natalie gently rested her head on Donn's shoulder, threw her whole body into Donn's arms, and whispered, "I can't handle it at all, I don't think it's possible to read 1,000 pages of professional books in a week, and I can never write a 50-page paper." ”

Don finally understands that Harvard is under too much pressure and has Natalie on the verge of a breakdown!

Natalie continued, "But do you know my classmates? They all come from the top high schools in the country, and for them, Harvard homework is so easy, and I am terrified to see their calm eyes." ”

"People think I'm only here because of my fame, and that's how I think of myself. I felt like something had to go wrong, and I didn't think I was smart enough to deserve to be here. Every time I spoke, I felt compelled to prove that I wasn't just an idiot actress. ”

Natalie raised her face and cried slightly, "Donn, I'm really afraid, I'm afraid that people will think that I came here because of fame, and I am afraid that others will think that I am not worthy of Harvard's intellectual standards." ”

Tang En let out a long sigh and could only hug each other tightly.

Natalie's intelligence is top-notch in Hollywood, but at Harvard, it is at most in the middle of the stream. And the psychology she studied was one of the most difficult majors at Harvard.

Don gently stroked her back and hesitated, "Honey, you have to understand that I have the ability to take care of you and make you the happiest woman in the world." ”

"I know! I know! but...... But I'm just not reconciled!"

Natalie raised her head again, and this time, her cheeks finally slipped through two lines of tears.

Tang En gently wiped away her tears, trying to make her happy, and said with a smile: "Do you know, there is a website called TDLER recently, which has been selected, and you are the first place!"

Natalie said coldly, "So what? when people call you a beauty, you are left with your appearance in their hearts, and your charisma and intelligence become less important. I don't want to be a stupid actress!"

Donn had a headache and thought for a moment, "Nat, think about it, are there still few beauties in Hollywood? But who else can go to Harvard to study in actresses?"

"But I'm just an actor!" Natalie looked down, looking really unconfident.

Don frowned, "What's wrong with being an actor? It's your job to be an actor!"

"But...... But don't you think acting is a frivolous thing? I also come from an academic family, my dad is a surgeon, and my mom is well-versed in taxes and law, but what about me? I'm just an actor!"

"That's enough!" Don was a little angry and said in a deep voice, "Nat, do you think acting can't be compared to academic research?"

"Am I wrong?"

Natalie had never seen Don lose her temper with herself, and she was in a daze.

"It's wrong, and it's a big mistake!" Don was a little distressed, and he also hated that iron could not be made of steel, "Film is a discipline, and acting is a noble art!"

"Art, but I don't have ......"

"Alright, Nat, the jackpot will prove your worth!"

"Oscar?" Natalie looked at him with a startled look, her eyes sparkling, "but I didn't get nominated for an Oscar." ”

Don smiled, "Oscar has to wait, after all, you're still young." But isn't there a Cannes International Film Festival in May? it's the greatest film festival in the Renaissance!"

Natalie blinked, half-convinced.

Tang En smiled slightly, and didn't persuade anything more.

Natalie's lack of self-confidence is a psychological manifestation of a normal person. In a place like Harvard, unless you are eating and waiting to die, if you are a little self-motivated, it is a pressure like Tarzan.

If she wants to overcome such unconfidence, it takes time to accumulate, and it is definitely not something that Don can make clear in a few words.

But an art award can always help somewhat, right?

Don had a clear goal, but he secretly sighed bitterly.

He came over this time, wanting to take advantage of the excitement of Natalie's enrollment to open a new chapter in the relationship between the two, but now it seems that it will be delayed again.

Natalie wasn't in a good mood.

……

George Paxton, Don's personal assistant, stayed with him most of the time, and when he left Harvard, Donn asked, "Is Nat's security okay?"

"No problem, there are a lot of special people at Harvard, so there are a lot of plans on the university side. "George apparently did a meticulous investigation.

"Not enough, I'm going to make sure it's safe!" Don En muttered, and said unquestionably, "You go and arrange a bodyguard, ask for a woman, and keep her safe at all times." ”

George Paxton frowned, "I'm afraid...... Harvard, for its part, will not agree. ”

"In the name of Down Pictures, give Harvard a $10 million donation!" For Donn, the problems that can be solved with money are not a problem, "It's better to let Harvard's personnel directory block Nat's information, she is studying at Harvard, what I need is Hollywood high-profile and academic low-key!"
