"Cheers, Eva. ”
In the Black Mamba Bar, Matthew raised his glass to Eva Green, who was dressed in black, took his glass, touched it with Matthew, and said, "Cheers." ”
Both drank the brandy from their glasses at the same time.
"Where's Depp?" Eva Green put down her glass, "won't it come?"
Matthew shrugged, "There's a friend coming, he's going to socialize with friends, and it's estimated that he won't be able to come back for a while." ”
He picked up the wine bottle and brought a small glass for each of them, and Eva Green's face on the other side was already flushed with drunkenness, and the three of them drank a lot just now when Depp was still there.
Johnny Depp didn't leave on purpose, Keanu Reeves came to the bar, and he went to the private room on the second floor of the bar with Keanu Reeves.
Matthew actually knew that Keanu Reeves had some opinions about him, so he didn't go over to say hello and continued to drink and chat with Eva Green.
Wine is a thing that can sometimes ruin a person, but sometimes it is also a very good tool, and after a few glasses of wine, the distance between people will often be shortened a lot.
"You just said you have a twin sister?" Matthew continued the conversation.
Eva Green picked up her glass and said, "A sister who was born four minutes after me is named Joey. "Probably because she drank a little too much, she talked obviously more than usual, "Joey is different from me, everyone says that she is as warm as the sun, unlike me who always gives people a gloomy and cold feeling, in order to distinguish ...... from her"
Eva Green pointed to her hair, "I've dyed my blonde hair black since I was fourteen. ”
"I think brunette is more suitable for you. Matthew picked up his glass and drank with Eva Green, and continued, "Your dark hair, which matches your appearance and temperament, can make you stand out in any situation, and make people look at you without taking their eyes off you. ”
"You're really good at talking. Eva Green shook her head, as if the alcohol was coming up, "Actually, body and beauty are not things I care about. ”
Matthew followed up and asked, "What's that......?" What do you care about?"
Eva Green spread her hands, "I don't know either. She asked Matthew, "What do you think is the best thing about me? ”
"Like Venus. Matthew remembered "Dreaming of Paris" and said directly, "It's impeccable beautiful, but you can't have it." ”
Hearing this, Eva Green laughed, held out a finger, pointed at Matthew and said, "I'm a witch." ”
Knowing that she was talking about a character from Pirates of the Caribbean, Matthew shook his head with a smile and poured her another glass of wine.
Eva Green took her glass, drank it all in one gulp, and said, "Do you know the world of witches, Matthew?" and without waiting for Matthew to answer, she gave her own answer, "If I can't have you, dear, I'll destroy you." ”
"You're not Tia Madow. Matthew remembered that it seemed to be out of the script, "I'm not Davy Jones either." ”
There weren't many people in the Black Mamba Bar tonight, and although Matthew and Eva Green were sitting in the lobby on the first floor of the bar, it was quiet around.
Eva Green put down her glass, motioned for Matthew to continue pouring the wine, and said, "Venus, why does everyone think of me when they talk about "Drama in Paris"? ”
Matthew said directly, "Because your performance can always satisfy people's fantasies." ”
"At the end of the day......" Eva Green's eyes drooped even more, "you people pay attention to me just because I dare to take it off and dare to shoot nude." ”
Matthew did not deny this, but said, "Are there any literary films made by European directors that cannot be taken off?"
Eva Green thought for a moment, nodded and said, "That's right, too." She answered. "Bernardo Bertolucci actually told people that I was beautiful and lewd! Saying that my mesmerizing body and bed scenes are the highlight of "Drama in Paris"! I don't like Bernardo Bertolucci! I don't like it!"
"If you don't like it, why do you take his play?" asked Matthew.
"Because I don't have a choice. Eva Green burped, "It's the fastest way to become famous, and it's the shortcut to success!"
She obviously drank a little too much, and some words came out involuntarily, and her attitude was not twisted at all, "I sometimes feel like a romantic action movie actress." However, sex is a part of our lives, so I think it's a good thing to do. Of course, every actor hates filming bed scenes, no one likes them, that's scary. However, I would see such a shot as a very objective and rational thing, and I would rehearse it in advance, and I felt that I was an expert in this area. ”
These words surprised Matthew, who thought for a while and said, "I've also filmed a lot of bed scenes. He raised his glass, "Cheers to the bed!"
"Good!" Eva Green picked up her glass and touched him hard, "Cheers to the bed!"
After drinking a glass of wine, Eva Green took the initiative to pick up the bottle, poured a glass for each of them, and asked Matthew, "Do you like bed scenes and nudity?"
Matthew shook his head, "No, that's just suffering." ”
He suddenly remembered Jessica Alba, who had had a few nights of stands, with the exception of the one when "Dawn of the Living Dead" was filmed.
"I'm just willing to do what I love. Matthew added, "I need to connect with the character, I need to like the character, I don't work for the sake of the job." ”
Eva Green smiled and said, "I like the role of a witch, I like it very much." She thought for a moment and added, "I like characters who are strong and have secrets, and they all have rifts. It reminds me of Leonard Cohen's quote that there is a crack in everything, and that's where the light comes in. ”
Matthew felt like he couldn't keep up with Eva Green's talk, and he had no idea who Leonard Cohen was.
Eva Green is completely different from Jessica Alba and Scarlett Johansson whom he met before, even if she came to Hollywood to develop, she also has the literary atmosphere of a French actor.
"I don't want people to just focus on my bed scenes, as an actress, I want people to see what I'm doing and see the roles I'm performing, otherwise I'll be a model. Eva Green closed her eyes and said, "Every time I performed, I gave a little bit of my soul. ”
Hearing these words, Matthew clearly felt that he and Eva Green were not all the way.
To put it simply, Eva Green is highly educated, and sometimes unconsciously comes up with quotes that may be philosophers or other scholars, but Matthew doesn't know the source, and he hasn't heard it at all.
His cultural literacy is quite far from Eva Green's.
This is something that Matthew feels very clearly.
If he pursues Eva Green as his girlfriend, the two will soon have no common language, but fortunately, he has never thought of chasing Eva Green as his girlfriend.
The more he drank and the more he talked, Matthew became more and more aware that Eva Green was far from being as simple as it seemed, and that she was not a simple vase.
Matthew combined Eva Green's drunken words and gradually came to a general judgment.
She has everything an actress must have, a skin that stands out from the crowd, a mysterious temperament that constantly attracts people to excavate, an introverted and sensitive heart, and the edification of being born in an artistic family, and even has the conditions for being born in an acting class.
So she wants to be successful more than anyone else, but that success is by no means limited to business.
Maybe getting the role of a witch is not only that she has no choice after the failure of "Heavenly Dynasty", but also that she really wants this role, because she has expressed her preference for evil, crazy, paranoid, and desperate characters in and out of her words, and she likes to challenge abnormal characters.
It may be drunk and spit out the truth, or it may be drunk too much and talking nonsense.
Matthew's goals haven't changed, though.
Whether it is literary or artistic, or highly educated, Matthew only thinks that Eva Green exudes a mysterious and weird dark temperament that is rare for Hollywood actresses, and people can't help but want to explore it deeply.
Of course, he won't be as nonsense as Harvey Weinstein.
Nearly eleven p.m., Matthew and a drunken Eva Green left the Black Mamba Bar and left together in a Mercedes SUV driven by a substitute driver.
The car arrived first in front of Eva Green's rented detached house on the outskirts of Beverly Hills.
Matthew got out of the car first, came to the other side of the car, looked at the door, helped Eva Green out of the car, and said, "Shall I send you back?"
Eva Green was drunk, tilted her head to look at Matthew, and suddenly said, "I'm not Venus. ”
Matthew laughed and helped her towards the door, "I don't like Venus, I like witches. ”
Arriving at the closed wrought iron door, Eva Green broke free of Matthew's hand, took the key out of her bag, and said, "Thank you for sending me home." She pointed to the door, "Now I'm here." ”
Matthew understood what he meant, hesitated, and said, "It was a pleasant evening. ”
Eva Green leaned against the door and looked at Matthew, "yes, it's a pleasure to get along with." She laughed, "Later, when we have time, we will continue to drink." ”
Matthew knew very well that the Frenchwoman was very smart, and while politely rejecting him, she also deliberately left hope.
"Yes. Matthew knew he couldn't be in a hurry, took a step back, and said, "Goodbye, Eva, see you tomorrow with the crew." ”
Seeing that Matthew was not entangled, Eva Green was somewhat surprised, raised her hand and waved, "Goodbye, Matthew." ”
Matthew was like a gentleman, and after a polite farewell, he turned to get in the car and left, as if he had just come to see Eva Green home.
In the car back, Matthew closed his eyes and sat on the passenger seat, Eva Green is a client of Angel Agency, the two will see each other often, and there will definitely be opportunities in the future.
And Helen Herman mentioned to him that she wanted Eva Green to play the heroine of "The Three Hundred Warriors of Sparta".
