Los Angeles is just an abbreviation, originally known as Village of Our Lady, the Queen of the Angles of Porciúncula, which means "the town of the Virgin Mary of the Angels". California is one such magical place, where people born and raised in Sri Lanka vehemently deny the influence of Spain on them, but are accustomed to the Spanish elements around them, such as the street signs on their doors and the names of their cities.

The government of the country of hope has been emphasizing de-Spainization since the time of George H.W. Bush, and the official and non-governmental organizations have spent a lot of energy and resources to do this, but they have always had little effect, and what the Spanish colonizers left behind has long been deeply rooted in the marrow of the local population, and it cannot be washed away or exhausted.

Liang Baoguang has not come to Los Angeles once or twice, but this time he came to attend the Academy Awards, and his mood was completely different from before, and when he looked at the white words "Holleywood" on the mountain in the distance again, he actually had a sense of "ownership". Smiling at himself reflected in the glass, hundreds of "tomorrow's superstars" will look at the big signs in the Hollywood Hills and have the same thoughts as him, but unfortunately this is not only a place where dreams come true, but also a huge cemetery where dreams are buried.

"Welcome to Hollywood." Natalie Portman glanced sideways at Liang Baoguang and saw that he was staring at the big white sign on the mountain, so she smiled and picked up the shelf of her seniors. She is not only Liang Baoguang's senior sister at Harvard University, but also a sister who is four years older than him, and a senior in the entertainment industry who debuted more than ten years earlier than him.

"It's mine, the lights, the camera, the shot." Liang Baoguang was possessed by the soul of a Korean woman named Song Hana (if you don't know, please Baidu yourself) at this moment.

"What did you say?" Natalie Portman, who was driving, didn't hear clearly.

"It's nothing, it's just a feeling of boredom." Liang Baoguang shrugged.

Natalie Portman not only drove to the airport to pick up Liang Baoguang in person, but even the room at the Montage Hotel was booked in advance by her, and even asked a friend with a package ticket for two sideline seats for the Los Angeles Lakers vs. Miami Heat game on the night of February 11, ready to watch it with Liang Baoguang, even if it is her own sister.

Liang Baoguang is deeply taught by Mr. Shuren, and has never been afraid to speculate on the people of the Lighthouse Country with the greatest malice, so even if Natalie Portman is the eldest sister who brought him to the top of the throne, he still feels that this woman has other plans for him, "If you just let me take you to the red carpet, you don't need to be on a one-stop service, right?" ”

"What kind of one-stop service, I don't know and think I'm going to take you to some strange place, just as a friend to contact the feelings, can't you?" In the Celestial Empire, when Hollywood is called Hollywood, there is always a little more inexplicable, because this is one of the largest gold caves in the United States, and there are many gambling hotels near Madison Park in the south, but Natalie Portman herself has never been there.

If there are dramas to shoot in Los Angeles recently, or other commercial activities to run, then it is normal for Natalie Portman to take care of Liang Baoguang "by the way". But a person who doesn't have a house in Los Angeles and stays here and also wants to stay in a hotel, doing so much and saying nothing at all just to connect with feelings, probably Natalie Portman herself doesn't believe it, but she hasn't figured out how to say it yet.

Liang Baoguang rolled his eyes, Natalie Portman is recruited because of this character, their relationship is so close that they still play around the bush and stop talking, no wonder a lot of black fans say that she is too utilitarian, too snobbish and has more eyes, and forcibly ranked her as the fourth of the top ten green teas in Hollywood. It's normal for her to be like this in the Celestial Empire or Japan and South Korea, and most women are like this, but in the United States, like Jessica, who is straightforward and even a little brainy, is the mainstream, saying that inserting your left nostril will not insert your right nostril.

"Haha, then I can just enjoy life?" Liang Baoguang said tentatively.

"Okay, it's not a movie thing, aren't you tired of writing scripts and filming alone, I know a few good script writers, they have ...... in their hands" Liang Baoguang has promised Natalie Portman that she will definitely tailor an excellent work for her, she originally thought that it would be okay to wait for a while, but the recent successive setbacks have made her gradually lose her patience to wait.

In 2007, Natalie Portman was busy in vain, "Blueberry Night", which specializes in international film festivals, failed to sink into the sand, and was blown up by Liang Baoguang's "Miryang", which was shot casually by Liang Baoguang, and "Another Pauline Girl", which specializes in the British and American markets, although it has not yet been released, she has already seen the finished product in its entirety, and she directly sentenced it to death. She doesn't care about the former, but for the latter, she has 10,000 MMPs in her heart and is going to say it immediately.

The cast of "Another Pauline Girl" is unprecedentedly strong, and later some fans of the Celestial Empire laughed that this is the Tudor version of "The Founding of the Nation", and the person who gathered so many well-known actors was not the director or producer, but the female lead Natalie Portman. In order to recruit people into the film crew, she doesn't know how much she owes a debt of affection, and Scarlett Johansson is paid for her friendship because of her best friend's status, but she didn't expect the director hired by the producer to ruin everything.

Justin Chadwick is the director who debuted in 1985, has made movies for nearly 30 years, and has worked with countless big names, but has never won any awards, and was evaluated by Roger Ebert as "I don't know why he is also a director". A heart-wrenching historical blockbuster was made into a miniature version of the British court drama, and Natalie Portman's mood can probably only be described in two words: angry crying.

"It's easy to write and shoot the script yourself, if you really like that script, you can show it to me first." Hearing the strings and knowing the elegant meaning, Liang Baoguang already understands the intention of the senior sister, and if he were someone else, he would probably push it off with excuses such as the schedule or the shooting plan has been set, but Natalie Portman said that he really couldn't refuse, and he couldn't not return it at all if people helped him so much, "I'm not busy at the end of this year, so I should be able to find time." ”

Natalie Portman finally relieved when she heard him say this, in fact, she had already inquired before coming to Los Angeles, in addition to the film she was making about the RB market, Liang Baoguang also promised to shoot a new film for the Weinstein brothers, originally thought that he would at least push and complain, but she didn't expect to agree so quickly, which made her a little embarrassed to say the following words, "That...... If you can, please invest a little money, it is always disturbed by investors to make really good works. ”

Even independent films are not without investors, and in a capitalist society where capital is king, the person who pays for it is always the uncle. Liang Baoguang didn't know where Scarlett Johansson got her emotion, but looking at her expression, she was probably not less angry, "What, you were so disgusted when you were filming?" ”

"It's disgusting." Natalie Portman's ability to endure people can say such straightforward words, which shows what it looks like to be angry. "Another Pauline Girl" is produced by the BBC film and television department, and the whole movie is full of the BBC's unique pompous, remote, self-entertaining, and mentally retarded lame taste, but the actors are not allowed to give opinions, she didn't have a seizure on the set to save face, "BBC idiots British pig ......"

"This is species discrimination, who is the pig recruiting?" It's not that Liang Baoguang subjectively thinks of the British, but that these guys are objectively weird, and they say seriously in science and education programs that pigs often gnaw Willies (minors, please be under parental supervision), except for them, they probably can't find a second home. The most infuriating thing is that they said in a Hong Kong Island documentary that the Year of the Horse (Horse) is **年 (Whore), and the pronunciation of these two words is too different, if it is not intentional, it is really mentally retarded.

"Haha, that's a good point." When Natalie Portman was filming, there was actually a British costume designer calling her behind her back, and she happened to hear her. The word Juyu is deeper than Kyke's malice, it is a very serious insult, she cherishes her feathers and does not want to scold back, but Liang Baoguang is still very happy to say this.

Liang Baoguang was not interested in wasting time commenting on the BBC, so he turned the subject back to the movie, "If the budget is not very exaggerated, I will fully support you." ”

"What kind of budget is exaggerated for you, to build a real Titanic?" Natalie Portman had heard that Liang Baoguang had made a lot of money by taking advantage of the subprime mortgage crisis, and she would not have been able to open this mouth if it weren't for this, knowing that his previous films were all small budgets.

"That's not an exaggeration." Liang Baoguang shook his fingers tremblingly.

Even if the impact of inflation is taken into account, the cost of the Titanic back then was only a little more than 100 million pounds, and with today's technology and material channels, this figure can be further reduced. If you build a bigger and more luxurious princess or ocean-class luxury cruise ship, it may cost between five and one billion pounds, but it is still within the acceptable range for Liang Baoguang.

"It's nice to have a rich man as a friend." Natalie Portman sighed.

"You are too persistent, otherwise you would have become a rich woman." Natalie Portman is too picky about the script, and has been acting in independent films or non-independent literary films since the Star Wars series, and she can't get much paid at all, unlike Scarlett Johansson, who is shown as a literary girl like her, and high-paying commercial films are also accepted, so the two of them have already bought a house in Beverly Hills, and the other is still living in a rented house.
