Just got to work in the early morning, the bright sun slipped through the window, illuminating Rachel Weisz's face, the British actress who was still sad in the same period last year, and now her excited eyebrows are almost running to the sky.

"There will be no variables. With the brightest smile of a year, she said to Matthew, "Benjamin Millepide gave Natalie Portman the most fatal blow. ”

Matthew put down the teacup in his hand, "The man who has been hurt is like a lion with vengeance. ”

Rachel Weisz took her cup from the coffee table and said before drinking, "Another Natalie Portman victim." ”

Matthew smiled, some things are destined to be unbearable for men, and if it were him, he would probably have done more than Benjamin Miepide.

Natalie Portman is completely treating Benjamin Mipayer like a fool, wanting Benjamin Mipayde to take over and be a happy father, and also wants to use him to make a profit.

There is no such good thing in the world.

"Natalie Portman's character is broken. Rachel Weisz became happier the more she spoke, "Her career is over." ”

Matthew nodded lightly, saying that Natalie Portman is too exaggerated, but it is inevitable that her career will suffer a cliff-like decline, and if no miracle happens, it won't be long before she quickly withdraws from the vision of fans and the media, and goes to the TV circle or B-grade films to mix supporting roles.

Want to make a comeback? Not everyone is as lucky as Robert Downey Jr.

Rachel Weisz suddenly said, "The taste of revenge is so sweet that it is simply fascinating. ”

"So to speak. Matthew's fallacies have always been many, "If you have revenge, you must take revenge, otherwise it will only be you who is depressed." ”

"Yes, you're so right!" Rachel Weisz couldn't agree more.

Matthew took another sip of tea and asked curiously, "What about Darren Aronofsky?"

"Leave him alone. Rachel Weisz seemed to take out all the hatred on Natalie Portman and looked like she let go, "That bastard is my son's father anyway." ”

Matthew agreed, "It's okay to not let the grievances between adults affect the children." ”

The person he wants to liquidate is Natalie Portman, who has nothing to do with Darren Aronofsky, the two belong to different circles and have never had a conflict at all.

Rachel Weisz looked at her watch and said, "It's almost time, I'm going to the nominees' luncheon, would you like to join us?" I remember that you starred in Inception and applied for multiple Oscars. ”

Matthew shook his head slowly, "Go ahead." ”

Rachel Weisz smiled at him and nodded, turned and walked towards the door, Matthew kept sending her to the elevator room, the elevator came up from below, and when the door opened, Helen Herman walked out of it.

She glanced at Rachel-Weiss and nodded lightly at her, "Good morning, Rachel." ”

"Hello, Helen. Rachel Weisz greeted politely and stepped into the elevator.

Helen Herman waited until the elevator closed and asked Matthew, "What is she here for?"

Matthew walked towards the office first, and said as he went, "If you have a big revenge, you must always talk to the only person who knows." ”

Helen Herman also knew something about Natalie Portman and couldn't help but shake her head, "Your heart is too small." She followed Matthew into the office, sat down on the couch, and said, "Natalie Portman is right to have calculated and betrayed you on the two projects of Cloud Atlas and Alien Battlefield, but isn't that what you planned?"

Matthew poured her a glass of water and placed it on the coffee table, "You mean it's immoral to say that I took advantage of her and threw her into the mud again, right?"

Helen Herman said lightly, "I never overestimated you on a moral level. ”

Matthew sighed, "You won't understand, Helen. ”

"Huh?" Helen Herman wondered.

Matthew thought for a moment, picked up what he could say, and said, "I have been poisoned by Matilda, and I am still the most poisoned kind, the stubborn, self-willed, independent, and mature girl who is extremely inappropriate for her age......"

Suddenly, he didn't know what to say.

"Then you come across a real-life version of Matilda. Helen Herman, however, quickly figured out some of Matthew's mentality, "Finding that Natalie Portman, as Matilda's real-life version, is completely different from what you think." ”

Matthew smiled, "Matilda is crooked. ”

Is life always so painful, or is it just when you were a child?

Ever since he saw Natalie Portman with his own eyes, he knew that Leon's answer was correct.

Helen Herman glanced at Matthew, "I didn't expect that a person like you would yearn for beauty." ”

Matthew ignored the faint ridicule in these words, and said very pretendedly, "I am in the dark, and my heart is towards the light!"

"Wrong!" said Helen Herman unceremoniously, "you are in the dark, but you yearn for a darker place." ”

"You ......," Matthew said helplessly, "you don't have to talk about me, we're the same kind of people." ”

He then changed the subject and asked, "Do you think Natalie Portman still has a chance to be nominated for Best Actress?"

"Nope. Helen Herman didn't think about it, "Probably not at all." ”

Matthew deliberately asked, "Why?"

Helen Herman gives a short answer, "Deception is unforgivable." ”

"That's not right. Matthew frowned slightly, "Hollywood is full of lies, and there are many people who win awards by cheating, right?"

"Is deception without exposure called deception? That's public relations. Helen Herman said lightly, "The deceived know that they are cheating, and the deceived know that they are being deceived, but as long as they are not exposed, the old men will turn a blind eye to the deception." ”

There was a faint sneer on the corner of her mouth, "If it's exposed, it's completely different." Those old men are very thick-skinned, but they also have some face. ”

Matthew understands what she means, it's nothing more than that you lie to me, and I know that you lie to me, I don't care if you lie to me, but you can't let everyone who is watching the excitement know that you are lying to me, otherwise you are slapping me in the face.

In this situation, if Natalie Portman can still be nominated, if nothing else, the fairness of the entire Oscar will be questioned.

Although there is never a shortage of doubts, the Oscars always have a fig leaf.

"By the way, I told you something in advance. Helen Herman then changed the subject, "I signed McKenzie Foy, and you asked James Wing or Bella Anderson to negotiate with me. ”

Matthew nodded, "There's no hurry, the script on James' side hasn't been finalized yet, and it is estimated that it will take another two months for the project to start preparation." ”

It's not easy to create a cinematic universe that doesn't have comics as a foundation like Marvel superhero movies, and James Win has been revising Tony DeRosa Grunde's script to not only establish a certain connection with the previous "Latent", but also allow for more expansion possibilities in the future.

Helen Herman added, "There's good news. Her voice lowered slightly, "I just went to Amanda's, and the person in charge of contacting Bob Weinstein reported that Bob Weinstein complained about Harvey Weinstein significantly more often, and after more than twenty years of patience, it seems that he doesn't want to endure it any longer. ”

Matthew thought for a moment and said, "I still need to gather more evidence on my side, and the time is not yet ripe for him to continue his friendship with Bob Weinstein." ”

Helen Herman nodded, then said, "How's it going on over there?" ”

"Ronan Farrow has been investigating. Matthew didn't hide it from Helen Herman either, "There's a lot of evidence out there, but most people have considerable skepticism about coming forward to point out Harvey Weinstein. ”

Helen Herman is calm, "Don't worry, the social environment is moving in our favor." ”

The feminist movement is now thriving.

It was fast around noon, and the Oscar nominees' luncheon was drawing to a close at the Regent Hotel, also in Beverly Hills.

This is a banquet where some people are happy and some are worried.

The nominees are happy, but the battle called the Oscars is only halfway underway, and the sprint behind is the key, and they are not allowed to relax.

Christopher Nolan got the Best Director nomination and Best Picture nomination as he wished, but in the case that the actor didn't do any public relations at all, and didn't even have the most basic attitude to rush for the award, the Best Actor nomination must not be with "Inception".

In the ballroom, Natalie Portman is particularly low-key, and even a little inconspicuous compared to Mira Kunis, who is sitting at the same table.

This is Hollywood, and even though she secretly hates Mila Kunis, she still has to sit at the same table with her.

Mira Kunis, who was next to her, suddenly said, "Nat, the next thing is the Best Actress nomination." ”

Natalie Portman glanced at Mira Kunis and didn't say anything, no matter what she said, it didn't improve her situation in any way.

As long as she gets the nomination! She's here today with one last glimmer of hope.

Jennifer Garner, who was the one who announced the list of nominees, read, "The list of nominees for Best Actress, Annette Bening, "The Children Are All Right." Nicole Kidman, "Rabbit Hole" Jennifer Lawrence, Winter's Bones Michelle Williams, Blue Valentine's Day Amy Adams, "The Fighter" ”

All five candidates have been announced.

As soon as Jennifer Garner's voice fell, the names of these nominees appeared on the screen behind them.

Mira Kunis looked at the names and said to Natalie Portman, "It's a shame there's no name on it." ”

Natalie Portman was stunned and didn't say a word, trying her best to control her emotions and not let herself collapse in front of so many people, and she invested millions of dollars in money, but nothing came of it, what should she do next?
