Chapter 463: At the mercy
"It's been negotiated, I gave him a year to prepare, remember to adjust the schedule, maybe the filming will start at the end of the year. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info" Li Xu said with a smile at the dinner table.
"Got it. Isabel was slightly cold.
Well, this is her norm, and if it weren't for the fact that the little one was also at the table, she would be even more cold.
It's a pity that she just doesn't know that the more cold a beautiful woman is, the more it will irritate a man - maybe she understands, but she can't be kind to Li Xu.
"How do you understand that history?" Li Xu asked again.
"I've seen some, where are you going to start?" When it comes to the movie side, Isabel is still very concerned, especially when it involves a damn bet.
"I will give you a novel by Alexandre Dumas, and the script will be based on this novel. Li Xu said.
"Queen Margot?" Isabel blurted out.
"You've done your homework, Isa. Li Xu raised his eyebrows, but he was a little surprised.
"You said that the tragedy of St. Bartholomew is the background, of course I have to collect detailed relevant information, Dumas is the most famous novel, how could I not have read it. Isabel said lightly, but the smugness in her tone could not be concealed.
Then she said, "You want me to play Princess Margaret?"
"Of course," Li Xu nodded, "You have watched "Queen Margot", you should know that the love between Margaret and Ramour is a very important main line. ”
"So, this is a romance movie?" Isabel asked, looking at him.
"Putting aside the tragedy of St. Bartholomew and just describing love, I don't think I'm so neurotic. Li Xu smiled, then carefully took the tissue and wiped the corners of the little guy next to him.
"Dad, what is that case? Annabelle asked, her tongue knotted.
"That's history," Li Xu touched her head, "To understand that, you need a lot of knowledge." ”
"Oh......" Little Tomato replied, no longer asking, very well-behaved.
"What, no confidence?" Li Xu looked at Isabel again, "Okay, I seem to have heard that the French film industry doesn't have a very high opinion of you now, and they all say that they have lost some of their previous aura?"
"Trapped around people like you, no matter how much aura you get, it will dissipate. Isabel sneered unceremoniously.
"It's okay, if you're not interested, I'll let Sophie come. Li Xu said with a smile.
"Huh?" Sophie, who was drinking the soup, opened her eyes wide, and then showed a wary look, with a "don't involve me in your affairs" expression.
"Did you hear it, do you want to try it?" Li Xu asked again with a smile.
Sophie didn't pay any attention to it, and Isabel didn't feel it, and she was bent on scratching the chicken on the plate with her knife and fork.
"Okay, I'd better find another Isabel, I believe she should be interested in this role," Li Xu said leisurely, "especially after we think she is better than someone." ”
There was a bang, and because she had cut too hard, the knife in Isabel's hand pressed against the plate, and it was so loud that it seemed that the whole table was trembling.
Sophie stuck out her tongue and closed her mouth tighter, and the little tomato blinked her eyes, but asked with concern, "Mom, what's wrong?"
"It's okay, my hand slipped, dear. Isabel smiled at her daughter, and then glared at Li Xu fiercely.
"I didn't say I wouldn't act. She snorted.
Even if she knew that Li Xu was agitating, she had to jump, the two Isabel in the French film industry have been constantly compared from the beginning, who made them all have the same name, and their acting skills have been affirmed.
As long as it is related to literature and art, as long as there are similarities, this kind of comparison will never be less, and then cause contradictions between the two people being compared.
is like Sophie, who has been called little Adjani since her debut, so she has not dealt with Isabel so far.
Isabel Adjani and Isabel Huppert have no conflict, but after using it for a long time, it is inevitable that there will be a difference between high and low, or the idea that they will not lose to each other.
So when Li Xu said this, Isabel couldn't take it even if she didn't want to, not to mention that she actually wanted to try it in her heart.
"Then it's settled. Li Xu nodded and looked at Sophie again, "It's a pity, Sophie, I can only find another role for you - have you considered having children?"
"Huh?" Sophie was stunned again, completely confused as to why his mind had jumped to it.
"You see you're getting along well with Anna, and Anna needs a few friends, but you can't be by her side every day, so why don't you have a sister for Anna. Li Xu said.
Sophie was still stunned, and Isabel was also stunned, neither of them knew how he connected the logic.
Instead, Annabelle interjected, "Dad, I have friends." ”
"Of course Dad knows that Little Tomato has friends, and Mom often takes you out to play," Li Xu touched her head, "But wouldn't it be nice if you had a sister and brother who were always by your side?"
Although she is not bored at home every day, on the contrary, she has flown back and forth between Europe and America countless times at a young age, and has seen a lot of scenery. But because of the problem of parenthood, there are almost no peers around, only occasionally playing outside with my mother, or bullying my younger siblings in San Francisco.
It's also a shame that Sophie still has a childlike heart, and her personality is a little masculine, and she is willing to protect the little guy and play around.
"Like Xiaoxiao?" asked Tomato, tilting her head.
"That's right, it's Xiaoxiao's kind. Li Xu nodded.
"Who is Xiaoxiao?" asked Sophie.
"Little Tomato's brother. Li Xu asked in a very ordinary tone.
"Do you have any other children?!" Sophie's eyes widened.
"Surely, do I look like someone with only one child?" Li Xu shrugged.
Sophie was speechless, of course she knew that he had other women, and there were quite a few, didn't she see two at the Cannes Film Festival last year, not to mention the maid and the secretary.
But......
"So you should have one, too. Li Xu said with a smile.
"I'm done. Sophie didn't say a word, wiped her mouth and got up to leave.
"Well, Sophie is shy. Li Xu didn't care at all.
It's very simple, after dinner, I played with the little tomato for a while, and when the time was almost up, my daughter began to yawn, and after sending her back to her room to sleep and telling a pillow story, Li Xu knocked on Sophie's door.
According to her temperament, generally speaking, she won't open it, but the problem is that even if she doesn't open it, Li Xu can still take the key out and open the door, this manor belongs to his family, so he still doesn't do useless work.
"What are you going to do?" Sophie looked wary, "I won't agree." ”
"Do you still need to agree to this kind of thing?" Li Xu looked inexplicable, "I just throw it in it every time." ”
"You ......" Sophie turned pale with anger.
"Okay, I didn't come here to tell you this, your director's theoretical level was not very high last time, Sophie. Li Xu waved his hand and said.
"I have a big head when I look at those theories, can't I not learn them?" Sophie immediately looked dejected at the sight of this.
"You mean, you're not interested in developing in the direction of directing?" asked Li Xu with an eyebrow.
"I ......" Sophie opened her mouth, but didn't say it, her expression hesitant.
After all, Li Xu made it clear that he could support his woman to do anything, but it was not without a price.
Sophie can give up learning directing theory, this is her freedom, and she can also ask Li Xu to support her to do something else, as long as Li Xu is willing. But correspondingly, Li Xu made requests, especially some excessive requests, and she had to agree.
Everything is mutual, and since Sophie was forced to follow Li Xu, he has been instilling this in her. And she was originally a girl whose three views were not sound, and after a long time, she subconsciously recognized this.
Therefore, she usually occasionally learns from Isabel to behave, Li Xu really wants the overlord to bow hard, and if she wants to enlarge her belly, she can only choose to accept it.
Basically, from the moment she obeyed Li Xu, her life was greatly split from another time and space. Truth be told, Sophie Marceau is really not smart enough, and it's really easy to manipulate.
But for the sake of insurance, Li Xu still forced her to study, anyway, she can be a director in another time and space - just do it badly - from now on, let her continue to maintain a pure image and act in movies, while learning director theory, that's okay.
In short, it is to polish away her flamboyant and overly egoistic side, after all, it is very dangerous to show off herself and have no brains.
"How about it, do you want to stop studying as a director, or do you want to continue?" Li Xu asked after waiting for a while.
"Let's go ahead. Sophie said after gritting her teeth.
Well, she still has a bit of perseverance and persistence, otherwise the other plane would not have borrowed 1 million francs to ransom Gaumont.
"Then so be it," Li Xu stood up, "good night." ”
Sophie was immediately stunned again: "You...... You're just leaving?"
"Of course, do you want to go with me?" Li Xu made a surprised look, and got closer with a smile, "It's okay, I haven't tried to ...... you together"
"I'm going to sleep. Sophie immediately jumped up and hurriedly hid in the bathroom.
Li Xu laughed and left her bedroom to Isabel's.
"Are you still reading?" Sitting directly at the head of the bed, Li Xu looked at it, "There is actually a book at home?"
"I'm not going to lose. Isabelle, who was looking at "Queen Margot", said lightly.
Then he frowned again: "Go take a shower." ”
"Okay, okay, I'll ......" Li Xu snorted, bounced up from the bed again, walked two steps and turned around and asked with a hippie smile: "Speaking of which, Isa, have you thought about it at all......"
"No!" how could Isabel not know what he was thinking, and replied categorically without waiting for him to finish.
Originally, she didn't agree to it, but she added with some disgust: "At this time, there is nothing else in your mind except to use women as goods." ”
