"Baby, you still haven't told me what you're talking about, don't you know what you're talking about, Mommy? ”
"Mom, I have my plans, and I'm fine now, nothing bad at all, it's just hype, for the movie, everything is for the movie. "Scarlett has a headache, her mother is annoying her to death these days.
But she could not say that what was said on the news was 100% true, so she had no doubt that there would be some additional problems.
I asked Rosie, and she said that you went to Los Angeles to shoot a movie, but she didn't tell you exactly when to take the script.
Mannie, I'm your mom and your agent, and Rosie is just an assistant. Melanie Sloan has been asking these days, and if it had been before, she wouldn't have asked much more.
But this time Rosie Andrea and her daughter's evasive attitude made her wonder what had happened.
Scarlett took Melanie Sloan's arm and said coquettishly: "Really no, why don't you believe me, this time it's a very small movie, his script touched me, I think it can improve my acting skills."
Mom, it turns out that I made the right choice, and I never felt that any step of the film helped me so much.
"Lost in Translation" and "The Girl with a Pearl Earring" are neither, even though these two films may bring me a lot of awards.
It's all as simple as that, Mom, and I ask you not to chase after it, okay?"
Just then, Scarlett's phone rang, and the phone screen danced with the ringtone.
Scarlett glanced at the screen, and the whole person couldn't help but be surprised, Melanie Sloan glanced at the phone screen, and she only saw that the caller's name displayed on the screen was miser.
"Who is the miser?"
"Mom, you're peeping at my privacy, I'm going to call, you're going out, you're going out. Scarlett stood up and pulled Melanie Sloan to her feet.
"I don't listen, I'll go myself. Melanie Sloan scratched Scarlett's nose and walked out of Scarlett's bedroom.
Scarlett's sneaky look made her even more suspicious, but she wasn't enough to eavesdrop on it herself.
"Christian, I have a job to give you, and I can give you five dollars if you can get it done. Melanie Sloan walked straight into Scarlett's brother Christian Sloane's room.
"Mom, what kind of work are you willing to say five dollars, oh my God, I can't wait to finish him, and then I can go buy a cone and treat myself. Ten-year-old Christian Sloan looks extraordinarily positive.
"Go and hear who your sister was talking to on the phone and what she said, but don't say I told you to go, or you won't have even a penny and pocket money for the next month......"
"Mom, you are violating my sister's privacy, although I am a child, I know that this is a crime. Christian Sloane was a young man who spoke righteously, and then changed almost instantly, "If you give me ten dollars, I can consider doing this." ”
"You cunning fellow, seven dollars. ”
"No, nine dollars, no matter how little, I will not only not do it, but also tell my sister. ”
"Nine dollars, deal, go ahead, if you get caught, you won't be paid. "Melanie Sloan is frustrated by this little slippery head.
"Mom, you have to pay me a deposit, only five dollars. Christian Sloan stretched out his hand, with a gesture that I wouldn't go if you didn't give me a deposit.
Slipping five dollars into his pocket, Christian opened the door and looked around, tiptoed out of the room, and pressed his face against Scarlett's door.
"Really, congratulations on your success, I'm sure this film is going to be a big hit. ”
"It's a credit to you, your acting skills are so good that the people at Lionsgate don't believe it's you. ”
"Justin, it's all your fault, I see that I look too much like a woman. Scarlett said with a grumbling voice.
"I know it, so to show my gratitude, I decided to wait for the movie to come out and give you a dividend. ”
"OH, IS THIS COMING OUT OF THE MOUTH OF YOU MISER? I CAN'T BELIEVE MY EARS, MAYBE I SHOULD WRITE IT DOWN AND FAX IT FOR YOU TO SIGN IT SO YOU DON'T REGRET IT. ”
"Hey, am I so stingy? ”
"Aren't you? Not only are you stingy but also forgetful, I have been so miserable by you, my mother has been asking me why I almost died in the coffin, I am about to collapse. ”
Although one is in Los Angeles and the other is in New York, Scarlett's crazy appearance seems to be in front of Chen Tian, and Chen Tian can't help laughing.
Scarlett heard the laughter and complained, "You're still laughing at me, I'm sorry that I'm still a friend, you stingy guy has let me down so much." ”
"No, it's not a mockery, by the way, I forgot to tell you that James and I were chipping on our second film, which was the day I went to McDonald's with you. ”
"Oh my God, you're really going to shoot it. Scarlett didn't expect Lin Sen to start filming instead of talking, "Okay, I believe you guys will be able to do a good job, and I will definitely do a good job if there is anything I need to promote." ”
Christian Sloane, eavesdropping on the door, was eager to get into the room by himself, and he could only hear sporadically.
Perhaps wanting to hear it too much, Christian Sloan leaned his body completely against the door.
Melanie Sloan walked out of the bedroom with the door closed open, and as Christian Sloan pressed all his weight against the door, the door was pushed open by his tiny body.
Caught off guard, Christian Sloan fell to the floor with the door pushed open, although he was only ten years old, Christian's acting skills were unexpected.
Before Scarlett could react, Christian cried out, "Fall me to death, Mom, the floor you mopped is too wet, sister, it hurts me to death." ”
Scarlett didn't think much about it at all, just hung up the phone and walked to the door.
"You're fine, you can't be careful, what if you fall and get hurt. Pulling Christian up, Scarlett rubbed his ass, "Didn't you fall, did you?"
"Sister, I don't have anything to do, I'm disturbing your rest, I'll go back first. Breaking free of Scarlett's hands, she stomped on the floor by the way, "Damn the floor, it almost killed me." ”
Looking at her brother's cute appearance, Scarlett couldn't help but laugh.
"You've done a great job, so I think I'll reward you with a dollar, but you can't tell anyone about it, and you can't eavesdrop on other people's privacy, you know?" said Melanie Sloan, touching her son's head.
"I will, I know that this is my mother's concern for my sister, and I didn't hear it too clearly.
I only know that Sister Lu Dao kept saying that the other party was a miser, and then they also talked about the movie dividends, and my sister blamed the other party for laughing at her, and I didn't hear the rest clearly. ”
"It's our little secret. Melanie Sloan gave another five dollars and got up to leave.
The day after Chen Tian and Lionsgate signed the contract, Lionsgate formulated a publicity plan overnight.
In Lionsgate's propaganda plan, Scarlett's almost death and Chen Tian's low-cost filming are not the focus, but the focus is around the Iraq war.
Lionsgate was preparing to incite an anti-war march that had been on a global scale since before the war broke out, most recently just over a month ago.
The news of the kidnapping and death of an American woman in Iraq was used to promote the content of the film, and when the film was released, Lionsgate was conceivably a lot of people who opposed the war would go to the theaters, and in fact such news was not entirely false.
Just as Lionsgate was debating how to incite the march, nearly 50,000 people marched against the Iraq War in London, England.
Mass demonstrations broke out in Barcelona, Spain, Paris, Germany, Lisbon, Greece, Denmark, Switzerland and Finland.
Almost simultaneously, in New York, pacifists blocked Fifth Avenue and 200 people were arrested for lying on the ground outside Rockefeller Center to obstruct traffic.
"God is all there to help us. Jon Fittimmel exclaimed excitedly as he looked at the news on the computer screen.
