Levi admits that he never imagined that he would meet such a temperamental actor: Winona Ryder, after hearing that she was against his idea, immediately said that she would immediately come over to talk about whether the director had anything else, she didn't think about it at all, and was completely self-centered when doing things - this kind of self-doing style can be described as full of big names.

Moreover, what surprised Levi even more was that Winona Ryder, who came to the Mystery Company, did not come here alone, behind her, there were more than a dozen people in a mighty manner, and the appearance of these people made Levy's party disrupted all of a sudden. The music stopped in an instant, and all eyes were on the door.

"You said that if I want to act in your movie, I'll come and give you an interview -- now that I'm here, you want an interview, you can do it now."

The entire queue looked at the door, but the uninvited guests standing at the door had no awareness of what they had done wrong. Winona Ryder stood there with an unpredictable sweet smile and was still greeting someone she knew at the party.

Around her, bodyguards, assistants, agents, public relations heads, makeup artists, drivers, she alone brought a whole star team, no less than ten people. And among a group of people, Winona Ryder can definitely be said to be the most eye-catching: this 27-year-old actress still looks radiant and quite beautiful.

"This guy is crazy, does she think we're her babysitter, and we have to do everything according to her?" Clark looked at Winona and said with some dissatisfaction.

Clark's displeasure is due to Winona's pomp and circumstance, which disrupts the party. As soon as she stood here, she immediately became the focus of everyone's attention, and Levy looked at Theron beside her, although she had an unconcealed envy on her face, but more of a jealousy that had been robbed of the limelight.

Levy waved his hand, stopping Clark beside him from speaking. Although he was also a little surprised in his heart that Winona's approach was too arrogant, he also knew that Winona might not really be looking for trouble. These stars who became famous at a young age, in many things, sometimes may not be very clear. Living under the halo since childhood, they inevitably do things differently.

"Miss Ryder, we're having a party."

Levy pointed to the hall, and Winona understood something, she waved her hand and motioned for her people to step away, leaving only her agent to follow her, and then, she also gently accused her agent, "Jason, you should tell them to have a party, I don't want to be a party spoiler." Sorry to bother, I didn't mean to, I just wanted to talk: I have my own thoughts to talk to you about this movie. ”

Sounds good but insincere...... Levy complained in his heart, but he also knew that at this point, it would not work if he didn't talk about it. With a wave of his hand, the party music started again, and he gestured for Winona to walk into a nearby room with her agent.

The people on the dance floor jumped again, but many people in the venue were staring at the room not far away, wanting to know what was going on with the two people in the room.

Inside the room, Levy also felt a little tricky at this time. Although Winona basically didn't bring anyone in, as soon as she walked into the room, her agent Jason arranged for her to sit on the couch, and then he himself sat next to Levy.

Negotiations with brokers or something, the most troublesome.

"My client is here to talk to you about the filming of your screenplay, Angel Emily. Mr. Levy, my client has shown enough sincerity, and I hope you will do the same. ”

Winona didn't speak, but Jason was the first to speak. Sure enough, in this negotiation, it was not Winona who spoke, but him.

Enough sincerity? Levy sneered inwardly. You big stars, you don't understand the word sincerity very differently than we earthlings.

"I know what your client thinks, but don't you think you want to come to the audition, you should call me first? At the very least, you can prepare the shots and see how to shoot the right ......."

"Mr. Levy, you're talking to my client, Miss Winona Ryder. What's the point of posing in front of the camera? ”

Jason spoke in a proud tone. Levy glanced at the agent who was talking with some dissatisfaction, but he also had to admit that there was indeed nothing wrong with what he said. Winona Ryder's face shape is outstanding, so good that the camera can't find any trouble, even Levy can't deny it.

From the moment Winona entered the door, Levi was observing her: both in appearance and in that calm temperament, she looked quite perfect. She came to play this role, which can be said to be very good.

"Now that I'm here, there's no need to talk about those basic auditions. I think the only thing we really have to discuss is whether or not you're willing to teach me this character. Jason may have seen that Levy didn't get down to business for a long time, and was a little anxious, "SAG's side, the distribution company's side, and any other mess, I can handle it." I just want to ask: the conditions I give you are very generous, you don't have to worry about losing money, the investment is mine, the loss is mine, and the money you make is yours, why don't you want to cooperate? ”

"I'm not short of money." Levy immediately replied, "I still have the little money to make movies." I refused your investment because I wanted the final editing rights. ”

"We needed to make sure that Miss Ryder had enough positive images on the film, and that's what we needed." Jason immediately opened his mouth, "Our return is not low, in exchange for this money for you to shoot a movie for Miss Winona, we can take what we need." ”

"Sir, this happens to be where our contradiction lies, what I need is not to make a movie for her, but for her to make a movie for me. What I need is not money, but good movies. ”

Levy's words made the agent's face cold. His tone hardened a lot, "Mr. Levy, you should know what this movie means to Miss Ryder. ”

"Clearly, isn't it just that I have shot three movies in a row and hit the streets, and I want to find a chance to turn over." Levy also replied without hesitation: from just now, this agent was very arrogant, which made Levy a little angry.

This sentence hit the street, so that Winona's face that had not reacted all this time finally changed, and her agent immediately opened her mouth to scold, "What you say is too funny......

"Alright, Jason, shut up. You're deceiving yourself, do you really think I don't know what a bad movie is? I know you're doing it for my good, but there's no need to hide anything from me. ”

Finally, Winona, who had been silent, opened her mouth, making her agent stop with some shame and injustice at this time. It wasn't until this time that Levy understood: Winona Ryder took a fancy to the movie and thought that she could shoot it easily, and she didn't care what Levy's film company did. And her agent, on the one hand, constantly whitewashed the peace in front of her, telling her how successful the movie was, and on the other hand, hoping to rely on her fame to make Levy give in and give her the movie.

It's hard to say that this broker is doing the right thing. Levy also sighed a little: relying on his client to be a big star, he dared to quarrel with the director, and for his client, he deceived her and coaxed her to be happy, even if such an agent has the right starting point, but his ability to do things is to make people anxious - Winona Ryder has acted in many bad movies in a row, and maybe it is inseparable from this unfavorable guy.

But from the current point of view, Winona at least knows that when she should come forward, she can't rely too much on her agent. Although she values this agent, she is not 100% obedient.

"Director Levy." After stopping the agent's words, Winona didn't let him speak anymore, but chose to communicate directly with Levy, "I want to participate in the production, the first is to make the film faster, and the second is also out of selfishness, hoping to shoot myself better." Even if the final editing power is in my hands, I won't come nonsense, and even, we can discuss it, can't we? ”

"Miss Ryder," Hearing Winona's words speak very clearly, Levy said bluntly, "You're an actor, you have some thoughts, you shouldn't move." To make yourself act well through editing is self-deception. If you want to take your acting skills to the next level, you have to think more from the perspective of the movie, rather than from your own perspective. A movie is a work of art only after it is filmed, and if it is separated, it is nothing, you can't make a good movie like this, what you need to reverse is your own ideas. I'm a director, and I'll make sure to keep the image of an actor, and you're an actor, so you just think about playing every role. ”

"Miss Ryder doesn't need you to tell her what to do." The broker opened his mouth again.

However, this time Winona did not immediately object, she tilted her head and stared at Levy's face for a long time before speaking, "I heard this once before. ”

Oh? She'd heard that before? Levy was a little surprised, but Winona spoke again, "The first time I heard this, it was Tim Burton who said it, and although it wasn't said to me, I remember it very well. To be able to say such a thing is definitely trustworthy. ”

As if the name Tim Burton had a great influence on her, Winona, who was still insisting on her own production just now, became no longer insistent after hearing Levy say this.

Winona leaned forward with a smile on her face, "So, tell me how you're going to secure my image, okay?" ”
