Chapter 516: The Lucky One on the Assembly Line
After spending more than an hour, Charlize Theron got her hair done, put on the trench coat she had chosen not long ago, and came to a floor-to-ceiling mirror in a beauty shop.
The girl in the mirror wears light makeup, her long light hair is dyed golden brown, and her waist-cinched khaki trench coat, black slim trousers, and knee-length boots that are also black make her body look more slender.
A beautician who had just served Charlize Theron looked at the girl in the mirror with some envy and complimented: "This young lady is so beautiful, but I noticed that you don't seem to have spilled perfume, maybe you can try the MissDior series of eau de toilette, fresh, elegant, very much in line with your current temperament." ”
Charlize Theron glanced at the agent standing next to him, with an inquiring look in his eyes, at the beginning, watching the agent lightly brush thousands of dollars for a trench coat, Charlize Theron was still a little nervous about how long it would take her to repay the money if she failed this time, and then the expenses again and again also made her gradually numb.
It's come to this point, so let's be thorough, plus a bottle of perfume money is nothing.
Anyway, if she fails, she will definitely not be able to repay the money.
Michelle Simmons looked at Charlize Theron with satisfaction, nodded slightly, and when she heard the beautician's words, her face showed a moment of hesitation, and finally shook her head again: "That's fine, perfume is not necessary." ”
Charlize Theron, although a little puzzled, did not refute, from yesterday to now, from the agent has been constantly explaining all kinds of precautions during the meeting and this outfit that makes his temperament very different from the past. She could also roughly guess what was on the paper with Eric Williams' name written on it last night.
It must be that guy doesn't like women to wear perfume.
I thought so. After checkout. The two didn't do anything superfluous, and got in the car and drove straight towards the Preavista neighborhood south of Culver City.
When she arrived at Firefly Studios, it was only half past ten, Michelle parked her car in a parking lot outside the studio, and the two got out of the car, Charlize Theron involuntarily looked towards the wall of Firefly Studios.
Although it is obscured by a wall more than two meters high, the huge sound stage in the studio still reveals its huge body.
Michelle Simmons looked at his watch, and instead of taking Charlize Theron across the street towards the studio, he found a café nearby.
Ordered two cups of coffee and a stack of snacks. Michelle Simmons said, "Charlie, do you remember everything I told you?"
Charlize Theron recalls what Michelle Simmons had told her since last night, and then slowly repeats it to her agent.
Michelle Simmons waited for her to finish and nodded, "Very good, but one more thing, I know you're a smart girl, but, in front of Mr. Williams, don't show those little cleverness, just be natural." If you're really nervous, you'd rather talk less. Don't be incoherent either. ”
Charlize Theron remembered the lazy face in the audition room more than a week ago, and felt that the agent was a little too serious, but nodded obediently.
"Do you think I'm making a big fuss?" Michelle Simmons asked suddenly, looking at Charlize Theron's expression.
Charlize Theron shook her head in a panic, "No, no. ”
"Don't think these are trivial things, he became famous at the age of eighteen with a few films, he has a lot of power in Hollywood at a young age, and he is a director, either of these two factors will make his personality seem a little ......childish," said Michelle Simmonston, who paused, did not use the word 'childish', and hesitated for a moment before saying, "Somewhat ...... Some emotional, maybe just some inadvertent small mistakes, will make him feel disliked, and just this 'dislike', you may not have this chance, this kind of thing has not happened, it is rumored that in the process of auditioning for the heroine of "The X-Files", both producers were optimistic about an actress, but he just gave an inexplicable 'I don't like this woman', and vetoed the other party. ”
Charlize Theron opened her mouth, listening to Michelle Simmons's casual industry gossip with some surprise, remembering "The X-Files", a TV series she had just watched, and curiously lowered her voice and asked, "Michelle, I ...... I've heard that the heroine of The X-Files is also his lover, is that true?"
Michelle Simmons glared at her: "That's not what you should care about. ”
Charlize Theron brushed the hair in front of her forehead, she was still quite confident in her appearance, looking at the agent's expression, she was worried again: "That...... If he asks me to do the same, do his ...... So what should I do?"
"If this is the case, you will immediately become the envy of 99% of Hollywood actresses, and you will also have everything that ordinary people can't touch in a lifetime in a short period of time, the top material life, the dazzling star's smooth path, high salary, the best treatment, no need to succumb to the rules of Hollywood, no need to work hard like other stars to maintain their status......"
Michelle Simmons said, seeing that the eyes of the girl opposite were already full of yearning that could not be concealed, so he unceremoniously poured a basin of cold water: "But you can rest assured, he shouldn't have taken a fancy to you." ”
Charlize Theron couldn't stand it, and asked a little unwillingly, "Why...... Why?"
Michelle Simmons shrugged: "Who knows why, like we still haven't figured out why he suddenly laughed at the audition for Buffy, but with his personality, if he had taken a fancy to you, he would have taken action when you auditioned for Buffy, and the truth is that not only did it not happen, he even forgot about the meeting he had agreed with you." So, girl, the most important thing for you this time is to be able to take advantage of the opportunity that Capper said, and don't think about the rest. ”
Charlize Theron's shoulders slumped slightly, and a hint of disappointment appeared on his face.
Michelle Simmons took a sip of coffee. Soon said again: "But." You wouldn't have forgotten what I said to you on the phone that night, right? Remember, don't say no, it's definitely good for you, Hollywood wants to climb into his bed with a lot of actresses, and he's not one of those old and ugly old men, and you don't suffer. ”、
Charlize Theron rolled her eyes slightly, but nodded without rebuttal.
The two spent time at the roadside café until half-past eleven, when Michelle Simmons picked up his mobile phone and dialed Eric's assistant's number. After talking for a while, he took Charlize Theron and walked towards Firefly Studios.
The doorman of the studio was also instructed in advance, and after confirming their identities, they handed over two temporary passes to the two before letting them in.
The main road of the park is very spacious, and there are many trucks, battery cars and exquisite nanny cars parked on both sides of the studio, and near noon, many people enter and exit through the open studio door, and occasionally you can see a group of celebrities coming out of it and getting into the nanny car.
Walked a few hundred meters through the studio area. Across a small square, a row of commercial lofts with steel frames and glass as the main body appears in view. Walking further, the two finally came to the administrative area of the studio.
Michelle Simmons made another call, and soon a young man in his thirties greeted him from an office building, introduced each other a few words, and said, "Mr. Williams is already in the dining room, come with me." ”
……
In addition to the large staff restaurant, there are several relatively high-end specialty restaurants in the studio, and after the scandal a week ago, Eric and Nicole did not go out to eat every day when they were in the studio, but chose one of them.
After the morning's work, Eric looked at the time, and took Nicole to the place where the two often had lunch in advance, Eric did not rush to order, but called Alan to inform him, and he sketched it on the sketchboard he brought from the office.
Looking at Eric, who was sketching quickly on the sketchboard next to her, Nicole couldn't help but say, "Don't you really need me to avoid it?"
Eric looked up at Nicole and said with a smile, "No, I asked Alan to bring that girl and her agent over, just to meet, have a meal together and have a casual chat." ”
Nicole also knew the ins and outs of the matter at this time, nodded, and looked at the sketch that had been revealed in Eric's hand, and in the background that looked like a flame, stood the heroic figures of three girls: "What is this, the concept art of the "Breaking Bad" that you planned?"
Eric nodded, and when he saw Nicole's face coming over, he moved the drawing board towards her, and the pencil in his hand continued to add lines, explaining: "Yes, I plan to make a complete adaptation of the TV series "Charlie's Angel", and if possible, make it into a female spy series like 007. ”
Eric didn't like the original "Breaking Bad" series too much, because the original version not only had a scattered plot, but also the traces of the music MV were too heavy, it is said that the director at the time, Joseph McGenty Nicher was originally a music music video director, but he did not change careers like David Fincher and Michael Bay to more or less get rid of the MV shooting method, so there are large sequences similar to music MVs in "Breaking Bad".
If it weren't for the real stunts burned by the original money, as well as a series of gimmicks such as female action movies, it is unlikely that the movie would succeed at the box office. As a result, the series came to an abrupt end after two installments and could not be restarted for a long time, and the subsequent remake of the TV series version also ended in failure.
Now that the control of the series is in his own hands, Eric is not only not ready to follow the style of the original again, but also has a bigger ambition, that is, to make this story into a relatively long-term series of action movies, even if it can't catch up with the classic 007 series, he must work in this direction.
"007 has already made sixteen films, and it's not easy to develop a similar series, and Frank Maccasso, who has just taken over MGM, is also planning to reboot 007's 17th installment, and they have sent me an invitation to ask if I have any intention of playing Bond Girl. ”
Nicole's casual words made Eric have an idea, turned his head and looked the girl up and down a few times, Nicole was inexplicable for a while, shrunk her neck back, and smiled: "Hehe, haven't you seen it, I thought you were starting to get tired of it." ”
Eric caught up and pecked the girl on the lips, and said with a smile, "How is it possible, I just suddenly thought of a good idea." ”
"Oh?"
Eric said: "Since 007 has a Bond girl, then "Breaking Bad" should also have a more typical villain, huh...... Let's call it the fallen angel. ”
"Fallen Angel, you don't want me to play it, do you?"
"How is Bingo, the first fallen angel?"
"No, since you want to develop a new series, then the three heroines selected should not be too famous, if I am the villain, even against the three girls, it is enough to crush them in all aspects, and then the audience will focus on me, the movie will definitely lose its balance," Nicole said confidently.
Eric also quickly realized this problem, and the recent "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" successfully created a strong queen aura for Nicole, and if she follows her own plan, the three new actresses will definitely be difficult to suppress.
"Since the first part is not good, then the second part is good, just right, use the first part to start the fame of this series, and then use the second part to consolidate the fame of the fallen angels, and the subsequent series development will be smoother. ”
"That's pretty much it, I can try it then," Nicole nodded.
While chatting, Alan led Charlize Theron and Michelle Simmons into the dining room.
Nicole's gaze stayed on Michelle Simmons, who was dressed in a black suit and had short hair, for a moment, then moved to Charlize Theron, looked up and down, and suddenly smiled and leaned into Eric's ear, and whispered, "Your food." ”
"I haven't ordered my food yet," Eric replied softly, standing up.
"Hello, Mr. Williams, I'm Michelle Simmons, it's a pleasure to meet you," Michelle Simmons walked over, and Eric warmly held out his hand, then greeted Nicole, and quickly gave up his spot to Charlize Theron, who was next to him.
"Miss Theron, we're meeting again," this time it was Eric who took the initiative to greet him, and unabashedly looked at the lucky man in front of him on the assembly line of the Hollywood film industry in the original time and space.
