Section 133 Party
When Levy said goodbye to the set, he drove to Winona's house - his business was quite busy, at least today. Winona held a celebration party in her home - she was celebrating that one of the movies she starred in had finally grossed more than 100 million.
For such a celebration, Levy just smiled: the box office is closely related to the type of movie, and some types of movies are indeed relatively poor at the box office, and most of the movies starring Winona are such movies, and naturally the box office is not good. But no matter how bad the movie genre is, there is a problem with the level of shooting. It is said that foreign themes are not easy to shoot, but Woody Allen's shooting of Midnight Paris can still become his highest box office work, and there is a level problem in shooting movies themselves, it is impossible for a literary film to sell seven or eight billion at the box office, but it is not difficult to make more than 100 million - since 96, the American film industry has entered a prosperous era, and there are about fifteen movies every year with a box office of about 100 million, and the times have changed.
However, Winona obviously doesn't care about the affairs of the times. All she cares about is that the box office of this movie exceeds 100 million. Just four weeks have passed, and the movie has such a box office, so when it comes to the next painting, the box office of the movie will exceed 150 million. Moreover, the movie has now begun to be released in Europe, and the response from Europe is also very good, and she is ready to leave for Europe to promote, and this celebration is also a farewell for herself.
If this movie can exceed 200 million at the global box office, it can also be said to be an extremely successful movie. The box office of romantic comedy movies can be higher than that of political movies, but it is impossible to catch up with Private Ryan.
This result is enough for Winona to celebrate, and Levy, as a film director, is also among the invitees.
It's just that by the time he felt the banquet, it seemed to be late. Winona's house is full of people talking in twos and threes, and Winona herself doesn't know where she has gone.
"Excuse me, where can I find Winona?"
Finding himself late, Levy can only hope to find Winona first, who will soon get up and go to Europe to do publicity, and he also wants to say goodbye to Winona.
"Winona is probably talking to advertisers in Europe about appearing in commercials."
The waiter didn't get an answer, but there was a voice behind Levy, and behind Levy, a woman in a black dress had already walked over and picked up two wine glasses from the tray in the waiter's hand. As he turned to stand, he handed one of the cups to Levy.
"I don't want to drink...... Thank you, Miss Julie. ”
Looking at the white legs under the other party's black skirt and sexy red lips, Levy already recognized who it was. took the wine glass, Levy didn't drink it, but looked up and down at the actress in front of him. Julie didn't dislike his eyes, on the contrary, she puffed up her chest proudly.
"You're beautiful today." Julie's attitude. Let Levy understand something, and he casually struck up a conversation with her.
"I'm beautiful all day...... Just call me Angelina, Mr. Levy. Julie smiled, "You're late today." I heard you have a new movie to prepare, is it because this one is late? As soon as you get here, look for Winona - she's still your muse? ”
"Wouldn't it be nice to talk about other movies here?" Julie's words made Levy couldn't help but look at her more.
"I think so, as a rookie director. I guess you also want to work with more actors. Different actors will give people different feelings. ”
Levy looked up at Julie, such words. made him even more sure that Julie and himself did not meet by chance.
"If we can, hopefully we can work together at some time." Julie gently raised her glass and took a sip, but her eyes were always on Levy, compared to Jessica, her teasing skills were obviously more than a little better, "It's not appropriate to talk here, you can contact me sometime." This is my number, you don't have to contact my agent, just call me - anytime. ”
Taking Julie's business card, Levy rummaged through it in his hand. Unexpectedly, I met a lot of beauties one day today, and their attitude really made me quite excited.
"Looks like someone got the phone number of the beautiful woman." When Levi was still distracted, Winona had already walked over behind him, and after glancing at the business card in his hand, Winona had already let out a laugh, "Angelina is a big beauty." ”
Levy nodded: Julie is not his favorite actor, but he also has to admit that at least at this time, Julie, who has not lost weight like crazy, is indeed a rare beauty - but there is no need to say this in front of other women.
"Don't think about it, didn't she get married last year?"
"It's separated." Winona shrugged, "That's Angelina, she couldn't have been born to settle down......"
This evaluation is also appropriate, Julie has been the darling of gossip magazines since her debut, if the memory is correct, even if she has done charity for many years in the future, some people still say that she hype.
"I'm just a little curious as to why she came to me." Levy shrugged, "She's not short of ways to get in Hollywood, right?" ”
"Am I not also her way? What's so strange about knowing you through my doorway? Moreover, it is not a bad thing to have one more way, Julie is also a very well-connected person...... It seems that her career has been going rough recently, so she wants to expand her social network. ”
Isn't this a good word to have a wide range of conversations? Are you really her friend? How do you feel like you're saying bad things behind your back? Although this is 80% true......
However, Winona's other half of the sentence also made Levy very concerned: Is her career not going well? Levy frowned slightly, in his memory, Julie seemed to have been quite smooth in the past few years, right?
However, if you think about it carefully according to her memory, it seems that in the following days, she filmed "Soul Shifter" with Winona as an investor and won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress, before she began to turn her path to commercial films. and then acted in a successful commercial film, became an action star, and even caught up with Pete, becoming the most famous couple in Hollywood, which can be regarded as a good path.
Whether she will be able to follow that path, at least for now, is hard to say.
As soon as Angel Emily came out, people were saying that this movie had already locked in the Oscar for Best Actress half a year in advance. And if Gwyneth hadn't won Best Actress, then she wouldn't have left Pete behind to find the more popular Ben. It's hard to say whether Affleck, Pete and Aniston will be together. Not to mention Julie - even if they were true love, they had to have a chance to meet them. What's more, Winona Ryder is now successful, so the filming of "Soul Shifting Girl" is even more distant - the adaptation of the novel version of this movie is in Winona's hands, and she doesn't want to act now, so this movie will naturally not be filmed.
Even, even if she wants to shoot a commercial film, I'm afraid it's not easy to transform. The filming of CSI has made the difficulty of crime film and television dramas a lot. If you make a movie with too simple episodes, it won't be very flattering. Julie's transformation of the human bone puzzle is simply a remake of the routine of the Silence of the Lambs, and it is difficult to say whether this movie will be invested in by anyone if there are not many people willing to watch such a story now. That's another story.
Without the Oscar, without the transformation work, her acting path seems to be very troublesome. In addition, Levy has always wanted to attract martial arts instructors in Hong Kong on a large scale, if he really did that. I'm afraid it's going to be difficult for her to play Tomb Raider.
If there is no Soul Shifter, no bone puzzles, no Tomb Raider. There is not even relying on Pete to hype up the scandal, so what can Julie have left?
No wonder she's trying to catch herself now......
Unexpectedly, unconsciously, some people's fate has been changed a lot by themselves.
Seeing Levy's background, Winona was slightly dissatisfied, she coughed lightly, which also brought Levi back to his senses, "I really didn't expect it, you also have a friendship - I thought your tempers were not very similar." ”
"I have more friends than you think." Winona was a little proud, "People who can satisfy me, I don't care what their shortcomings are." ”
Don't really get into the play like this and think of yourself as Emily, as if you have made good friends, but in fact, it's not that someone accidentally snatched the role from your friends?
"What did you just say to her? Do you have a new movie ready to shoot? Was it the movie that showed me the script? Is that movie the right one for her? ”
Winona also chased after Levi and asked questions, and Levi only shrugged, "She wants to get a role from me, but unfortunately, I don't have a role for her." ”
"Really?" Winona, however, continued to chase after her.
Of course, although she is a beauty, it is a pity that her acting method is a bit sexy. Of course, having a sexy body is willing to show off what others can't say, but that's not quite the way my movies work. I'm not a big fan of deliberately arranged sexiness in movies. ”
"You think she's beautiful and sexy?" Winona's focus is entirely on the first two sentences, "I've known you for two months, and you haven't said I'm a beauty." ”
"That's what to focus on? I told you on the first day that you are an actor who belongs to 360° without dead ends, which is more important than anything else. ”
"But you never said I was sexy. So who of the two of us is sexy? ”
This sentence made Levi a little speechless, he stared at Winona, he was surprised, what the hell was wrong with Winona today.
Levy's gaze made Winona's face flush as well, she tilted her head not to look at Levy, and the two of them froze. After a while, she spoke again, "I've been hoping that you would come to me since the movie was over. I've always felt that there are some different resonances between us...... At the very least, there should be more between you and Angelina. ”
"Of course, we worked together." Levy smiled, trying to divert the conversation.
"You know what I mean, you're deliberately misinterpreting me. I'm going to go to Europe to promote it soon, and I've waited so long for you to speak, and I don't want to wait any longer. ”
Levy wanted to say something, but Winona raised her hand. She put her fingers on Levy's mouth, preventing him from speaking again. The action in this movie made Levy smile a little wryly, but also a little warm.
"Now, come with me." Winona pulled Levy up and walked over to the house, "I want you to know how sexy I really am." (To be continued......)
ps: ps: Regarding the box office, the box office of Angel Amelie released in the United States was 33 million, and it was once the most beautiful and highest-grossing overseas movie. Now the story has been moved to New York, so the box office will go up.
Moreover, the inspirational component of Truman's world is not because of changing jobs, but because he resolutely abandons the perfection arranged by others, is unwilling to become a doll, and pursues his true self, which is a spiritual pursuit.
