As soon as Gal Gadot was sent away, Murphy received a call from Bill Rosses, a film private equity fund that was established some time ago, heard the financing news of this project specially released by CAA, and just contacted him, interested in investing in "Gone Girl", and wanted to meet him, the director and project planner.

Murphy, of course, would not refuse, and asked Bill Rothes to finalize the time and place of the meeting with the other party as soon as possible.

After several phone calls, nearly an hour later, Murphy and the head of the film private equity fund finalized a meeting in Century City in the afternoon.

Bill Rothes's active liaison has played an important role in this, and CAA has always been known for its efficiency.

Murphy then hung up another phone call to Gal Gadot, who had arrived at Rhodel Avenue and was having coffee with Natalie Portman.

Inside a café on Russell Street, Gal Gadot buttoned his phone.

Natalie Portman, who was sitting across from her, took her eyes off the script in her hand and turned to Gal Gadot's side, "Murphy?" ”

"Hmm......" Gal Gadot nodded slightly, "he's going to talk to the head of a private equity fund about investing in the afternoon, and I'll go back in the evening." ”

"Exactly." Natalie Portman laughed and said affectionately, "We haven't seen each other in a long time, we can hang out a little longer." ”

Gal Gadot pointed to the outside of the café, "The premise is that there aren't so many paparazzi following." ”

"As the girlfriend of a popular director." Natalie Portman deliberately said, "Haven't you gotten used to it? ”

"I guess I'll never get used to it." Gal Gadot shrugged.

"It's good if it's been a long time." Taking a sip of coffee, Natalie Portman changed the subject, pointed to the script brought by Gal Gadot, and asked, "You just said that Murphy went to meet the investors, is it this project?" ”

"That's it." Gal Gadot propped up one arm and lifted his chin, "This is Murphy's new project, and he plans to start preparing for filming before the end of the year." ”

"Murphy is really a very thoughtful director." Natalie Portman muttered.

Gal Gadot didn't quite understand what she meant, and looked at the other side suspiciously.

Natalie Portman picked up the script and shook it in front of Gal Gadot, "Don't you think the setting inside is amazing?" Especially the heroine ......"

"I just watched a beginning." Gal Gadot shrugged slightly, "This kind of story is too dark, I don't like it very much, so I didn't continue to look down." ”

She asked curiously, "Murphy's scripts are all dark, is this "Gone Girl" really as good as you say?" ”

Natalie Portman was clearly interested in the script, saying, "It's a script that touches on marriage, relationships, media, justice, class and cultural differences, and there's a lot of questions to be discussed. ”

Gal Gadot looked at Natalie Portman with fluttering eyebrows and said, "Isn't this a love story with dark overtones?" ”

"Is this really a love story?" Natalie immediately gave the answer, "Yes, but not really." It's not so much a love story as it is a women's story – a story of a woman's self-growth, destruction and reconstruction. ”

"Everyone has read this script, and it is estimated that there are very few people who like the heroine, although she has the halo of a Harvard, almighty, excellent and even beautiful goddess, but her arrogant, paranoid, neurotic, crazy and pathological character is prohibitive, chilling, and secretly praying to let such a madman stay away from his life."

Seemingly completely attracted to the role, Natalie Portman closed her eyes, if she played it herself, how should the character of Amy be shaped? This role will be disgusting, but it will be extremely attractive, especially the contrast between before and after, in terms of performance, explosiveness is extremely needed, as long as the level of directors and actors is guaranteed, the role will naturally make people very, very brilliant.

Isn't this kind of role that is easy to shine and not so normal exactly what she has been looking for? Isn't that exactly what the old men at the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences love?

The most important thing is Amy's character setting, which is ...... with her

Thinking of this, Natalie Portman nodded slightly, if she plays Amy, she only needs to release her heart and perform in her true colors, this kind of performance is also the easiest to shine, as long as the director does not make too many mistakes, she can even leave a classic role.

Is the director's level guaranteed? Natalie Portman has seen several of each other's films, read about him from the media, and his agent, Martin Miller, has always been bullish on him......

All of this allows her to form a very clear judgment.

Natalie Portman suddenly became distracted, Gal Gadot gradually saw something, but she didn't pay much attention to it, she also heard from media reports and Murphy's mouth, some excellent and aspiring actors, when they meet their favorite roles, their performance is often quite surprising.

After a long while, seeing Natalie Portman open her eyes, Gal Gadot looked at her and asked, "You're interested in the heroine?" ”

"Hmm." Natalie Portman nodded unabashedly, "This is the most outstanding role I've seen since playing Padmé Amidala." ”

She closed her eyes again, "This is a woman living in her own world, she is beautiful and charming, has a high education and a good family background, and has perfect conditions in the eyes of others." She had a clear judgment of herself, so much so that she believed that even without going through it, the preconceived motto of her married life would be the preconceived motto of her married life, such as 'marriage is about compromising with each other, working harder, communicating and compromising, and then doing another round of business'. ”

Gal Gadot has only seen the beginning of the script, and the rest is not very clear at all, but in this case, he still acts as a qualified listener.

Natalie Portman continued, "This kind of woman has the ability to convince herself of things that do not exist in a way that is constantly repeated and reinforced in consciousness, and to make it a certain fact through infinite imagination and concrete practice. She did this for the sole purpose of revenge, which stemmed from inner turmoil and undeniable jealousy. And, when she makes some sacrifices against her will, it will stimulate her ability to reach a breaking point even more, and at the same time, she gradually finds her original self in the process. ”

Just by reading the script, this character strongly aroused her emotional resonance, and those emotions that were hidden in the deepest part by public relations, publicity, performance, artificiality, etc., in the past, had a strong resonance with Amy.

She suddenly felt that with her own ability and the setting of this role, she could even impact the little golden man!

"Gail!" Natalie Portman opened her eyes, and the emotions that had just fluctuated instantly calmed down, and she returned to that smart, wise, beautiful, generous, and kind state, "Can you help me make an appointment with Murphy?" ”

Her William Morris Company is a direct competitor to Murphy Stanton's CAA, and there seems to be some misunderstanding between the agent Martin Miller and Murphy Stanton, and it is certainly not the best choice to go the agent route.

But...... Natalie Portman glanced at Gal Gadot without a trace, the little girl she met in Jerusalem didn't expect it to be useful.

"About Murphy?" Gal Gadot frowned slightly, "You are ......"

Natalie Portman didn't hesitate, she seemed to be very straightforward with her friends, as if she didn't have any reservations, and said very directly, "I like the role of Amy, I want to play the role of Amy." ”

After saying that, her eyes opened wide and round, just like Matilda facing Leon, looking at Gal Gadot expectantly.

But her mind was spinning rapidly, this girl from Israel, her admirer, regarded her as a very good friend, young and inexperienced, although precocious and a little clever, compared to herself, she was a standard stupid girl.

Natalie Portman is confident, she believes that Gal Gadot will agree in the next second, and will take the initiative to help herself and help herself win the role......

"I'm sorry, Nat." Gal Gadot smiled apologetically, "If it's a character's problem, I can't help you." ”

"Uh......" Natalie Portman was slightly stunned.

What's going on? How did she reject herself? Why would you reject yourself?

Gal Gadot doesn't seem to have changed anything from just now, and it seems that she is still a stupid girl who admires and likes the Jewish actress opposite, but the words that come out of her mouth don't mean anything that is ready to help Natalie Portman.

"Murphy doesn't like people interfering in his work." Gal Gadot sighed, looking very regretful, "I'm no exception, he will show me what he writes or shoots, but he never likes to listen to my advice." ”

These words are just as true.

Natalie Portman is Natalie Portman after all, but she was stunned for a moment and came back to her senses.

"It's okay." She went back to that perfect look, "I was negligent, I can't do it because of this ......"

She suddenly accentuated her tone a little, "This kind of insignificant little thing affects the deep relationship between you. ”

Gal Gadot's hand hanging under the table suddenly grabbed the handbag on the chair next to him, and he had the urge to grab the bag and turn around and leave, and sighed in his heart, he was still too stupid and naïve compared to Murphy, a cunning old fox.

I'm afraid the woman on the other side doesn't regard her as a friend at all, right? Maybe it was indeed a friend before, but when she refused, this so-called friendship had been thrown away by the other party.

She had just said such a thing, what is a trivial matter? What does it mean to have a deep relationship? Do you really think you're stupid? (To be continued.) )
