Chapter 299: Nicole's Thoughts

Reality is always more bizarre than novels, who would have thought that such a movie that was about to go offline, and then after being involved in a crime, not only was it not directly won, but the box office rose? If this is the plot of the novel, there will definitely be readers who will criticize: It's too!

It's a pity that facts are facts, and they won't change anything because of the view of "it's too", even if someone uses the topic to play.

"It's a sad thing that while people in Maryland are still panicking at the threat of gunmen, people in most parts of the country are flocking to the theaters to see what kind of movie 'Sniper Phone Booth' is going to make Washington's gunmen commit crimes." A fairly well-known online critic wrote this on his blog.

However, with Fox's efforts, these criticisms are irrelevant, and the box office of the movie is still recovering, and then staying at a height, and it looks very likely to break through the height of 70 million when it goes offline.

It's a pity that this is the place, now is on the cusp, Fox can't seize this opportunity to hype, if the ending is the one that Sean first proposed, maybe he can try to hit a higher box office, but now this ...... Forget it. This is the reason why Schumacher will regret it, it is easy to have a movie that makes him completely proud, naturally the higher the box office, the better, it could have been higher, but because he didn't stick to it at the beginning, he missed it, is there anything more depressing than this?

Then, now that the criminals have finally been caught, it is reported that they have denied committing the crime because they watched "Sniper Phone Booth", whether it is true or not, this does not prevent Fox from taking the opportunity to organize a charity auction to raise money for the victims of this incident to show himself. As for the discussion of film and television works and crime rates, no matter how lively it is now, after that, Hollywood will still do what it should do, as long as it is a little low-key during the discussion, it will be fine.

Sean, as the undisputed first protagonist of this movie, will inevitably be swept away by public opinion, so he must make an appearance at the charity auction and spend some money to show his attitude.

"Attitude is important, even if it's just for show, show it and let people know who you're on." As soon as Frederick heard about Sniper Phone Booth, he started chattering on the phone.

Finally, he did not forget to communicate before issuing a statement, conveying Sean's sympathy and condolences for the victims, as well as condemnation of the criminals. And as luck would have it, four days after the statement, the two criminals were arrested.

Then, Sean took a leave of absence to go back to Los Angeles to spend money, although there were no good things to buy at charity auctions, and most of them were bought by whoever took them out and sold them, but sometimes they would meet good ones.

"It's really not cool." Katie stroked the jade pendant in her hand and said in a surprised tone, and then quickly covered her mouth and looked left and right when she realized something, and saw that no one noticed her, so she was relieved.

As soon as she looked up, she saw Sean's eyes that seemed to be smiling, her face couldn't help but turn red, and she immediately pursed her mouth and snorted: "What's so funny, this is the first time I've seen such a beautiful jadeite." ”

"I'm not smiling, I just think you're cute." Sean said this, but the smile on his face was even stronger.

As an actor who has left the country in "Sniper Phone Booth", she was naturally invited, and it happened that the American version of "The Grudge" had completed filming in early October, so she made an appointment with Sean to meet at the auction.

"I don't believe it." Katie continued to hum and took out the pendant again to rub it over, "This...... Is it really for me? ”

"Of course, this is something that girls wear, so I don't need it." Sean opened his eyes and said nonsense, but this jade pendant that cost him $120,000 is indeed very beautiful, the pure and warm feeling is quite comfortable, wearing a beige dress, Katie, who already looks cute, is undoubtedly more suitable for wearing it.

"Oh? It's something that girls wear. Katie glanced at Sean, deliberately dragging out her voice, and her eyes flickered.

Sean knew what that meant, well, and while she was confused from time to time, she wasn't too dull to know anything.

"Yes, so it's the best thing to give to you, even if it doesn't fit well, stay at home and look at it from time to time, and you'll think of me." Sean Haha laughed, then diverted the subject, "By the way, is there any place you want to go tomorrow?" ”

This topic successfully diverted Katie's attention, but at the same time, Sean also sighed in his heart, you must know that the place he wants to go to the most this time is Naomi, not to mention anything else, the American version of "Midnight Bell" was released on the 18th, and won 16 million box office in 1900 theaters in the first week, and it is worth celebrating to sit firmly at the top of the box office list in this off-season.

"Mulholland Drive" brought her word of mouth, but it only brought word of mouth, never count on David? Lynch's box office. And the American version of "Midnight Bells" not only brought word-of-mouth - although it refers to the word-of-mouth of the plot - but also brought box office, and this is what Naomi is currently lacking the most. It can be said that with this movie, Naomi can really be regarded as having a foothold in Hollywood.

In this case, Sean should have congratulated him in person, but ...... Who sent Katie back to Los Angeles and also attended Fox's charity auction?

Even if he meets Kate or Jordana, he won't be too embarrassed, but it's Katie...... Although Sean always told himself in his heart, he just didn't tell the whole truth, but ......

Moreover, even if Katie is done, it will be the end of the month soon, and the remake of "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" is already scheduled to be released on Halloween. With an investment of almost 10 million, there will definitely be no premiere, however, although the reviews received at the arranged preview screening are somewhat polarized, the critics feel that there is nothing new, but the ordinary audience feels very exciting and feeling, the old version is not comparable at all, Vladimir still said that he moved Weinstein and helped contact nearly 3,000 theaters, how can Sean follow up at this time.

In this way, she could only say sorry to Naomi on the phone, and she didn't seem to care too much, clearly expressing her understanding, and her soft voice made Sean a little ashamed for a while.

Therefore, when he repeatedly confirmed that the prospects of "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" should be fine, he immediately returned to the crew of "Cold Mountain" ahead of schedule, hoping to complete the play in a short period of time, and then take a good rest for a while. Basically, up to now, the role of Inman has been thoroughly eaten by him, and from the perspective of performance, there is not much difficulty, and the main Nicole cooperates, and it will probably be within a week or two of the closure.

However, Sean has obviously forgotten something, and there is still a test waiting for him-

"Haode, I'll be right away." Nicole answered her assistant without looking back, quickly flipped over a few pages of the script, closed it and recited a few lines silently, and then got up and walked to the set.

It was a few steps away, and then she saw the kid, standing at the camera and talking to Minghella.

Nicole couldn't help but snort in her heart, she wasn't dissatisfied with Sean, she just ...... Well, she did have some grievances, but she didn't know what it was for.

There must be Naomi's reason, when they chat, every time they talk about him, Naomi will show that warm smile, as if she loves the man who is much younger than her from the bottom of her heart, which makes Nicole a little jealous.

That's right, jealousy, although the previous ten years of marriage allowed her to successfully gain a foothold in Hollywood, but only she knows the taste. If there were still some feelings before, after all, they had been together for ten years, but the other party filed for divorce before the expiration of ten years, which is really chilling, for that guy, at that moment, he only had interests in his eyes.

So Nicole doesn't understand that although Sean is indeed very good-looking, talkative, funny, has read many books, and can pick up a few sentences on any topic, but because of this, people know that he is a playboy at a glance. She had tried it several times, and Rachel had said that he was a good candidate for a one-night stand, and even though she had said it in a joking tone, Nicole wouldn't think it was just talking, after all, Rachel himself admitted that he had dinner with Sean.

So, what exactly attracted Naomi? Nicole asked, but Naomi either smiled and didn't answer, or diverted the topic, which couldn't help but make her very worried, if Naomi, who finally became famous, Zuihou became the next Meg? Ryan, that's too bad?

Nicole admits that she wants to woo Naomi, and although she has accumulated a lot of contacts over the past decade, there is always a lack of people around her who can support each other. Even though she was born in Honolulu, she grew up in Australia, so most people regard her as an Australian actress. This is quite detrimental to her development, everyone knows that Hollywood and the Oscars prefer native-born Americans.

So she needs companions, she needs famous companions, she needs to form her own small circle, and before that she and a couple of Australian actors, Hugh? Jackman, Russell? Chloe maintains a good relationship, but there are not many female actors. Kate? Blanchett is very good, but this woman has always kept a low profile, and unless she does some publicity, it is difficult to see it in magazines, so the news that Naomi has finally become famous makes her very happy.

In fact, she started helping a few years ago, but at that time Nicole was far less famous than it is now, and Naomi never took the opportunity to lose her confidence for a while. Now that Naomi has finally made a splash with "Mulholland Drive", of course she has to extend an olive branch, and the actress who recommends auditioning for the American version of "Midnight Bells" is one of them.

However, it would be nonsense to say that the two did not have a little sisterhood, after all, they had gone to school together, they went to school together, they went to school together, they talked together, Naomi also attended her bachelorette party before she got married, and she also came to comfort her as soon as she divorced, and it is impossible to be completely emotionless. So, no matter what angle it is, Nicole can't tolerate Naomi being delayed and deceived.
