Chapter 895: The Red Sofa in Hollywood (Medium)
Scott Rudin is suave, very attractive to a mature man, and is also a shareholder of the 'Screen Investment Fund' and a well-known producer in Hollywood. If it weren't for Anne Hathaway's sudden appearance, Nicole Kidman, who was eager to appear in a classic movie, might have considered a trade, anyway, that bastard is not only not ugly, but also has a bit of a man's charm, and there is nothing disgusting about sleeping with him.
However, as soon as Anne appeared, Nicole, who was tempted by "All the Time", immediately woke up to the fact that China Ming's guy was as small as Cruise's bastard, and had the same strong desire for exclusivity, if he knew that he was trading with others for the role, he had to turn his face with himself. For a movie, fall out with China Ming? Isn't that for the sake of a dog's tail grass, giving up the whole garden?
Nicole slapped Anne Heather's slightly upturned little ass angrily, turned around and said with a smile: "Mr. Scott, I will let my agent contact Director Stephen, thank you for inviting me personally." β
Upon hearing the word agent, Scott was disappointed and smiled: "Then I wish you a successful audition, and I look forward to your wonderful performance with Miss Helen Hunt." β
"Goodbye (goodbye)", the two politely shook hands and said goodbye.
Anne Hathaway rubbed her sore buttocks, sat down next to Nicole, looked at Scott's back thoughtfully, and suddenly laughed, although she usually grinned, it didn't mean that she was stupid. Under normal circumstances, casting has a casting director, even if you want to invite a big-name star, you have to go through the guΓ² agent first, and you still need to make people and actors contact privately first?
Nicole glared at her angrily and whispered, "What are you laughing at?" You haven't encountered it? β
"Me?"
Anne pointed to her delicate nose and said with a coquettish smile: "I'm going to be an adult for eleven years this year, don't you see that every time I go to a party, I drink drinks?" β
"Come on, you're lucky, your first movie was "Very Little Spy", and you became a shareholder of UTA, Brian and Zimmer are protecting you!"
"Am I lucky?"
The swaggering Anne immediately used Natalie Portman as an example of how she was unlucky. The two became famous together with "Very Little Spy", but that Bitch (slut) starred in "Killer Leon", "The End of the Heart", and was nominated for the Golden Globe Award for a "The End of the Heart". What made her feel even more psychologically unbalanced was that Bitch was actually favored by Lucas and starred in Queen PadmΓ© Amidala in the "Star Wars Prequel Trilogy"!
"What have I acted in the past few years? Oh my God, I haven't had a decent film appointment since I finished "Very Little Spy......".
Nicole laughed as she listened to the girl's chatter, describing the other child shareholder in UTA as a super lucky person with a lot of luck, not wanting Natalie to be much better behaved than her since she was a child, and would please the big directors even more. And this kid has been a tomboy and a madaha since he was a child, every time he participates in everyone's party, he only cares about playing by himself, and never flatters in front of those big directors.
If you don't know how to take advantage of such a good opportunity, how can you blame others for their good luck? Of course, Natalie's talent is indeed much higher than this tomboy, and it's no wonder that Ming is a little biased. However, Nicole still attributed all the reasons to Annie's character, so as to make the child chagrin.
βWhat?β
After being reminded by Nicole, Annie, a tomboy, woke up like a dream, and said angrily: "Zimmer is a Bitch!" He didn't sue me like this? β
Seeing other people's chagrin always makes people feel better, Nicole suddenly felt better, and joked: "He didn't tell you? No, I remember you smug that you said that you are a genius girl and you don't need to please anyone at all! β
Yes? Anne then remembered her previous arrogance and Zimmer's persuasion, and looked at Nicole speechlessly.
"Okay, think about it yourself, you're not the queen of Hollywood, why should you enjoy privileges?"
Nicole patted Anne's little head, put down a dollar, and got up to leave. I also have to go to Mingna to be angry, "All the Time" may not have a chance, but if you don't express your dissatisfaction, the next time you compete with Helen Hunter for the role, you will have to suffer!
The cafΓ© at the Beverly Hills Hotel is a favorite place for filmmakers, and within a few minutes of Nicole's walk, Leonardo came with his girlfriend Gisele Bundchen in his arms. Although this kid is attentive, he spares no effort to help his girlfriend. He is different from Nicole Kidman, his relationship with Sun Ziming is well known, with him covered, Giselle Bangchen, a Brazilian girl, but no one dares to hint at her.
Seeing Anne Hathaway sitting there in a daze from afar, Leonardo walked over and shook his hand in front of her eyes, "Hey, what are you thinking?" β
Disturbed, Anne did not show her teeth and claws as usual, but sat there like a lady without snorting.
Seeing that something was wrong with this child, Leonardo hurriedly reached out to try her forehead, pretending to be concerned: "What's wrong?" Well, no fever? β
Gisele Bundchen has seen too much of this intimate game, but still turns his head and laughs, to say that the two child stars of UTA, the precocious Natalie, are the most popular among the directors, and Anne is the pistachio of the actors.
Anne finally woke up from her troubles, grabbed the big hand on her forehead, and put it in her mouth, so frightened that Leonardo hurriedly broke free, this child will really bite. Anne, who didn't bite anyone, got up, and didn't forget to take the banknotes left by Nicole on the table, and said stupidly: "You have a treat!" β
Seeing that the friendship between friends was wrong, Leonardo had no intention of joking, and hurriedly grabbed Anne and said with concern: "Anne, what's wrong?" β
In the past, the two had a good relationship in the talent agency department of the light and shadow company, and later they often played together when they went to UTA, and Anne saw that Leonardo was no longer teasing her, so she sat down again and told her friends about her troubles.
"Leo, am I really worse than Natalie?"
It's really hard to say, before Leonardo starred in "Titanic", he stayed on the set with Sun Ziming for a few years, and I heard his evaluation of the two. In terms of talent and intelligence, Anne is indeed inferior to that genius girl, but Leonardo can't bear to upset his friend.
"Anne, don't listen to Nicole, you're just missing a chance. Didn't I use to be the same as you, fun-loving and noisy, isn't it good now? β
This is equivalent to not saying, how lucky is this guy, he can learn behind China Ming, who doesn't sell him face? At the beginning, Director James was dissatisfied with him and didn't want him to star in "Titanic", but China Ming personally went to help him intercede!
But the sarcastic words turned to the lips of Anne, who had just been hit, and turned into a consultative word, "Leo, I'm an adult, and I'm no longer that Juni (the sister in "Very Little Spy"). You sue me, does Nicole have a point? β
Yes, this girl is already an adult, not the little girl she used to be, and Leonardo is only then beginning to face up to the growth of his friends.
"Waiter, two lattes, no sugar and no milk", Leonardo beckoned for two cups of coffee, learned from Sun Ziming to rub his brows, and began to worry about how to tell Anne a real Hollywood.
The invincible young Anne saw Leonardo like this, and knew that he was embarrassed after years of getting along, and after waiting for the waiter to bring coffee, she whispered: "It's okay, Leo." It's better for you to sue me than for Zimmer and Brian to sue me. β
"Ok, let me tell you what he told me when I first saw the boss."
Leonardo told Anne about the first time Sun Ziming met him eight years ago.
"Annie, as the boss said, Hollywood is full of geniuses, and who can stand out depends on luck, their own efforts, and their own choices. Luckily, I met the boss before I became famous, but I also signed a very harsh agreement. As you can imagine, if I had rejected that agreement in the first place, the boss would not have been able to really help me, no matter how much he appreciated my talent. β
Anne understood a little and hesitated, "You mean, Nicole's words are right?" β
Leonardo is not Nicole, since he is prepared to let Anne know the real Hollywood, he will not hide anything, but he is still too young to be self-righteous in many things.
"More cruel than she said! Anne, the world is fair, if you want to get something, you have to give something, no one can get it for nothing. β
"According to you, the boss helped Natalie so much, why?"
Yes? Anne exclaimed, and quickly covered her mouth again, although she was at odds with Natalie, it was better not to mention these things.
Leonardo was taken aback by Anne's nonsense, but he was also satisfied with Anne's cleverness, not being as smug as usual, and knowing to shut up immediately. What is the reason why the boss helped Natalie so much, he doesn't want to know, and it doesn't matter at all. This is Hollywood, and even if there is something between them, it is each taking what he wants, and there is no moral nonsense or anything like that. Just like his relationship with the boss, if he wasn't smart enough, he would have followed him in those years and respected him as a godfather, and he might not have treated himself like this.
With a soft 'bang', Sun Ziming's image in Anne Hathaway's mind shattered and turned into a pile of scum, muttering, "Why is this happening? Why is this happening? β
Letinardo sighed and said regretfully, "Anne, do you know why we were reluctant to leave Light and Shadow in the first place? If we are still in light and shadow, films such as "Tornado", "Desert Island Survivor", and "Perfect", I am afraid that as soon as the script comes out, Nicole will play the heroine, even if it is not her, it will be Cameron and Diru. How could it be like now, a Douglas can get us stuck, let alone other directors' assistants. β
Yes, as soon as everyone leaves the light and shadow company, although there is still some emotion, it is inevitable that they will fight for their own interests. Didn't the heroine of Boss's "Tornado" give Helen Hunter that slut, and what is even more hateful is that she relied on the company to ask her father, and even snatched the heroine of "Desert Island" and "Perfect", and also got the little golden man of the year before last!
"NO, the little golden man can only prove your acting skills, not your box office value! Annie, don't always stare at Natalie, if you want to have a real status in Hollywood, it's not a matter of one or two golden men, it's the box office. Box office! Do you understand? β
Leonardo's words hit the nail on the head. Hollywood is a business world, and the purpose is all about profit. As long as you can prove your box office value, even if you have sores on your head and pus under your feet, those makers and directors will chase you after. Just like Cruise, no matter how big the storm is, someone will help him settle it, provided that he can bring enough profits to everyone!
But Anne still can't figure it out, if that's the case, why is Nicole still staring at "All the Time"? Even if that film is a rare classic, it is destined to be a low box office!
"Stupid! She practiced acting skills first, and made contacts. Just like us, you're my friend, that's why I'm telling you so much. Those literary film directors will one day become great directors! She has become their friend now, and she will be friends for life, how good do you think the boss has with Chris and Peng?
You're better than Natalie, she's always pleasing the big directors, and you're being honest with everyone. I send a word from before the boss, the friends you make when you are down are far more reliable than the friends you make after you are developed! β
