Today's four watches! Make up for the debts owed last month! The rest will be made up before the end of the month. One chapter is at twelve o'clock at noon, and the other chapter is at six o'clock in the afternoon. In addition, ask for a commuter pass and a recommended ticket!

"Why hasn't it come out yet?"

Sitting in the lounge of the lobby on the first floor of the Fox Building, Paula Barton looked at the exit of the elevator hall with a little anxiety, "It's not going to be out again, is it?"

Early Monday morning, she arrived at Century City's Fox Building with her boyfriend Francis Lawrence, who had a film project to direct, and whom Francis Lawrence's agent at CAA, Kevin Howayne, recommended to Twentieth Century Fox.

Presumably it was the CAA's recommendation that played a role, and Twentieth Century Fox named Francis Lawrence as one of the directorial candidates.

Today, she accompanies Francis Lawrence to the Fox Building, just to attend the director's audition.

Of course, Paula Barton is just a very ambitious young actress who is not qualified to accompany Francis Lawrence into the interview office of Twentieth Century Fox, so she can only wait in the lobby on the first floor.

Looking at the time, it was close to eleven o'clock in the morning, and there was still no Francis Lawrence in the elevator room, Paula Burton became more and more anxious, she very much wanted to know, what kind of project was Francis Lawrence interviewing?

It's really not easy for a small actor to climb up in Hollywood.

Paula Barton knows this very well, and originally caught a budding director like Francis Lawrence, hoping that he would piggyback on her, but at first it seemed quite good, Francis Lawrence got the position of director of a super production project like "I Am Legend", and was ready to seek a supporting actress in it.

Who would have thought that Francis Lawrence, a dignified director, would be bullied by the actor during the preparation and audition process, not only did her supporting actress fail, but he even lost the director......

For a while, Paula Barton really wanted to kick Francis Lawrence, but she found out that CAA's famous agent, Kevin Howayne, still had expectations for Francis Lawrence and was ready to seek a suitable project for him, so she put up with it for the time being.

It's always easier to get ahead with a director who may still have a future than to break through alone.

But......

Paula Barton's eyes narrowed as she stared at the elevator exit, and if Francis Lawrence failed this time, there was no need to waste time and affection on him again,

Just as she had such thoughts, the figure of Francis Lawrence turned out of the elevator hall and walked towards the rest where Paula Patton was, his face was calm and unsurprised, and Paula Patton could not see the result of this directorial audition.

"Hi dear. ”

Seeing Francis Lawrence approaching, Paula Barton immediately stood up, reached out to take his briefcase, pulled out a chair for Francis Lawrence to sit down, and sat next to him again, before asking, "Did the interview get results?"

"Hoo ......"

Francis Lawrence let out a sigh of relief, then took Paula Barton's hand and said, "I passed the initial audition and became one of the last three director candidates. ”

"Really?" Paula Barton seemed genuinely happy, "Honey, you're amazing! you're going to win this director!"

Francis Lawrence, however, was a little less confident and said, "The competition is very strong, and I am not sure that I will win!"

Paula Barton shook Francis Lawrence's hand hard and said, "I believe in you!

"I'm going to do my best. Francis Lawrence looked at Paula Barton with affection in her eyes and said, "For you, I'm going to take this director too!"

Hearing this, Paula Barton subconsciously thought that Francis Lawrence was aware, and instantly felt a little embarrassed, not knowing what to say.

However, she clearly misunderstood, and Francis Lawrence went on to say, "This project is the same as the first part, the main character is a woman. ”

The embarrassment on Paula Barton's face disappeared in an instant, and then was replaced by surprise, and there was only one voice in her head: heroine...... Heroine!

"I ...... I ......" Paula Barton adjusted her breathing and spoke smoothly, "Can I be the heroine?"

Francis Lawrence swore that "as long as I get the director, I will do my best to help you become the heroine." ”

Paula Barton is not a little girl anymore, and after the huge surprise, she gradually calmed down and asked, "What kind of movie is Twentieth Century Fox preparing?"

"The sequel to the blockbuster movie. "Francis Lawrence deliberately sold a pass.

Paula Barton is even more excited, and sequels to blockbuster movies often attract much attention.

Francis Lawrence didn't keep Paula Patton waiting, adding, "The sequel to Alien vs. Predator." ”

"Oh. Paula Barton nodded, "I've seen the first one, and the absolute protagonist of the first part is a woman. ”

Although it is for Alien and Predator, she knows very well that even such a role is very rare at this stage.

She immediately leaned over and gave Francis Lawrence a solid kiss.

Then, Paula Barton took Francis Lawrence's arm and walked out of the Fox Building together, intimate and sweet, and there was no sign that she had just kicked Francis Lawrence.

Before getting on the bus, Francis Lawrence bought a copy of Premiere magazine, and as a wannabe director, he has always been very concerned about the dynamics of the North American film market.

Paula Patton got into the driver's seat and waited for Francis Lawrence in the co-pilot to buckle up and start the car to leave Century City.

Not far from the car, she took a look to the side and found that Francis Lawrence's hand flipping through the magazine stopped, and his originally calm face seemed to be a little ugly.

"My dear. Paula Barton played the role of an intimate lover to the fullest, and asked with concern, "What's wrong?"

Francis Lawrence did not answer immediately, but remained silent, staring closely at the report in Premiere magazine.

Although the overall market has fallen below industry expectations since the start of this year's North American summer season, the long-awaited "Pirates of the Caribbean 2: Soul Coffin" has a strong edge, and this action-adventure film starring Johnny Depp, Matthew Horner and Keira Knightley has won the latest North American box office charts with an absolute advantage. ”

"According to the released film market data, the weekend box office of 44 films reported about $211.96 million, an increase of 32% from the previous month, of which Disney Studios' "Pirates of the Caribbean 2: Coffin" earned $156 million, contributing to the strong rebound of the North American film market......

Seeing this, Francis Lawrence gently closed the Premiere magazine, and Matthew Horner, the one who led him to leave the crew of "I Am Legend", had just achieved great success.

He's still struggling for a position, and what about that guy?

$156 million, what a terrifying number, Matthew Horner is one of the two main characters, how many people and companies will revolve around him?

Paula Barton's voice came over at this point, "Honey, what the hell is going on. ”

Francis Lawrence came to his senses, casually threw the "Premiere" magazine to the back of the room, and said, "Pirates of the Caribbean 2 starring Matthew Horner and Johnny Depp grossed $156 million at the North American box office in its opening weekend. ”

"What?" Paula Barton couldn't believe the numbers she heard, "Honey, how much do you say?"

Francis Lawrence repeated, "$156 million." ”

Paula Barton's mouth opened in surprise, "Oh my God! Matthew Horner's bastard film got such a high first-week box office? God, did you even open your eyes!"

Francis Lawrence was somewhat depressed as he found that the gap between him and Matthew Horner seemed a little too big.

"Has there been any other film that has grossed such a high first-week box office?" asked Paula Barton again.

"No!" As a film director, Francis Lawrence is very sure of this, "Although I dislike Matthew Horner very much and hate him a little, he starred in this film that set the record for the highest opening day release, the highest single-day box office and the highest opening weekend box office in North American film history." ”

Paula Barton was momentarily speechless, this series of records sounded too amazing.

Francis Lawrence sighed depressedly and said, "If I'm not mistaken, Matthew Horner starred in this film, and it also set a record of more than 100 million at the box office in two days of release." ”

"How does he make every movie a big hit?" Paula Patton was a little upset, and couldn't help but pat the steering wheel, "Why can't he be the unlucky one?"

Matthew Horner made her lose an important supporting actress, and she couldn't like Matthew Horner at all.

Francis Lawrence is also incomprehensible, "probably...... He's really popular with movie fans. ”

Paula Barton thought of the lost character and couldn't help but say hatefully, "One day he's going to become unpopular." ”

Francis Lawrence also wanted to see this day, but knew that it would not be easy, "maybe ten or twenty years from now." He shrugged helplessly, "A lot of media say that Matthew Horner is like Tom Cruise, who was popular in any movie in the 90s." ”

"Hmm. Paula Patton nodded, "I've read similar statements in the newspapers. ”

As the car drove out of Century City and met a red light at the intersection, Paula Barton slowly stepped on the brakes, waited for the car to stop, turned to look at Francis Lawrence next to her, and said, "The last time Spike Lee came to our house, he made a suggestion, and I thought it was very good. ”

Francis Lawrence didn't speak, clearly hesitating.

Paula Barton reminded, "Honey, don't forget about the current state of affairs in Hollywood. ”
