Da, da, da.

Da, da, da.

East Brunswick, New Jersey.

On the second floor of an inconspicuous house, a young man with curly hair was lying on the table, looking at the windowsill with a blank look, on the left hand side, layers of paper documents alternated horizontally and vertically, and on the right hand, Newton, who never stops, was placed there to explain the truth.

His bloodshot eyes and tired face made the dark oily head look more like a bird's nest, and just when he was confused up and down, like a stone statue, lifeless, the paging of Ling Ling Ling made him startle suddenly.

Full of anticipation, he picked up the mobile phone on the table, scanned the screen with a nervous expression, and his clean and neat movements were like a hungry person seeing food, but after he saw the caller ID clearly, his upright body was like a deflated ball, and he collapsed directly.

Leaning back, he sighed.

Press Answer, and the phone is attached to the ear.

The joy of fighting the spirit is incompatible with the current atmosphere.

But even so, he still spoke easily and took the initiative to say hello to the other party first, "Hi~Annie~"

"Hi~Jesse~" A crisp female voice came from the other end of the phone, "I called suddenly, didn't bother you, right?" ”

"Nope! No! It's only eight o'clock, and I'm just at the end of my morning workout. The young man lied, his face did not change, and his heart did not beat.

But just as he looked around, trying to find something to play with in his hand to hide his weakness, the mountain-high document made him laugh at himself and shake his head—'Yes! Just after the morning workout! ’

At the same time, he also asked, "Is there something wrong with calling me so early?" ”

"Ah~Yes~" The woman on the other end of the phone seemed to be organizing her words, but it was more like she was bitter and unspeakable, and after a few seconds of silence, she made up her mind and said slowly: "Half an hour ago, Kevin Murphy called me......"

"Huh?" At the sound of this name, the self-deprecation on the young man's face disappeared in an instant.

The woman continued: "Then, fifteen minutes ago, Pam Visse also called me......"

"What?" As if the young man had guessed something, Ben leaned back in his chair and straightened up sharply.

Such a movement made the young woman on the other side sigh, didn't sell much, and took the initiative to tell the news she got, "Kevin and Pam both told me that the vacation is over, let's go back to the group this week." ”

It seems to want to put the most pressure on the other party, but it is more like a staunch supporter of the creed of 'long pain is better than short pain', so when young women throw out this result, the process also follows-

"Because of the average ratings of our show, Fox felt that there was no need to continue filming, so he wanted to cut our project."

"But at Kevin and Palm's insistence, Fox agreed to let us finish the rest of the film in two months."

"In other words, in addition to the twelve episodes we have already filmed, the remaining ten episodes only have eight weeks to create."

"So...... Don't delay any longer, my sister is waiting for you in Los Angeles......"

"That's all, I'm going to pack my bags, see you in Los Angeles, later~"

"Doodoo ......"

The continuous words were like waves, washing over the young man's heart, but even if the tone was gentle, the pressure on his face could still make the edges and corners of the reef dwelling on the shore disappear, and the isolated young man closed his eyes in pain and leaned back helplessly.

"Really chopped?"

The young guy muttered to himself.

"Really cut ......"

The young man hugged his head in pain.

"It's really cut!"

The young man stood up angrily, swept his hands hard, and overturned all the mountain-high documents on the desk to the ground!

"Ahhh!!h

The cathartic roar soared into the sky, and the irritable hands hit the table.

And at the same time as he was venting on the table, the document that he pushed to the ground was also lying quietly at his feet.

Due to his intense movements, the black cover has been lifted, and if you peek at the text on it, you will find that the footers of these documents are marked with the same name - "Get Real".

…………

"Pam and Kevin can figure it out that they let you make this call!"

On the other side, when the young woman put down her mobile phone and shrugged her head helplessly, the middle-aged beauty who was squatting aside and was packing her daughter's luggage spoke directly and complained: "You're just an actor!" They're asking you to do the work of a producer! ”

"It doesn't make sense!"

"But you just took it!"

"How old are you? Don't you still learn to refuse? ”

“Mom！”

Hearing her mother's concerned preaching, the girl shouted and retorted, "Didn't you teach me all this? After you let me enter the industry, treat everyone kindly, because you never know who else is behind them! ”

"I taught you?" As soon as she heard this, the middle-aged beautiful woman stopped what she was doing, raised her head and glared at her daughter, and said, "Then I will let you be good to everyone?" Do I let you do everything they ask you to do? ”

"Today Pam and Kevin don't want to communicate with Jesse's temper tantrums, so let you help tell him to join the group, you did."

"Then tomorrow they drag out the red sofa for you to climb, do you still take the initiative to strip naked and lie on your stomach? Well! ”

Such words made the girl smile, and seeing her mother's irritable appearance that she wanted to eat herself alive, she took the initiative to get up, pounced directly on the other party's back, and rubbed her cheek on her mother's neck affectionately.

"Mom~"

"Kevin and Pam aren't like that~"

"They just think that I have a good relationship with Jesse, so they asked me to help tell you~"

"And didn't you say that before? Pam and Jim Carrey know each other, we can get a little closer~"

"Kevin is a Disney person, and being friends with him can make us avoid detours~"

"I remember everything you say, don't worry~ Today is just a trivial matter~"

The sweet and greasy words combined with the cat-like coquettishness made the anger of the middle-aged beauty gradually dissipate.

Angrily raised her hand and patted her daughter, and after seeing that she was unwilling to let go, the middle-aged beautiful woman also let her go, let her lie on her back, and said: "It's really a trivial matter to help spread the word, but what is the situation between you and Jesse?" ”

"He's only sixteen, don't make a mistake, okay?"

"At the beginning, when you told me that you wanted to act, I made it clear to you that the profession of an actor is very hard."

"There is no desire to be famous, and the desire to be famous is to climb to the top, and after you become famous, you will be surrounded by people."

"They will spy on your life, spy on your work, spy on everything about you, make you feel like you are living under countless pairs of eyes, so that you will never be able to enjoy the quiet life of a normal person!"

In this case, you are no longer yourself! Because your life and work will be separated like never before! Because of work, you need to show your beauty to the public, but because of life, you can't always guarantee beauty, you can't be yourself, you can only be yourself what the public wants to see! ”

"At the time, you told me I could endure this."

"And now? You don't like Jesse, do you? ”

"Although I will not interfere in your private life, there is one thing I want to make clear to you first."

"An actor who has just entered the industry is not worthy of having feelings, and the relationship at this time will only hinder your career."

The serious attitude made the girl lying on her mother cry and laugh.

As soon as his body went soft, he rolled directly onto the sofa, pillowed his hands, and looked up at his mother, "Mom, I really have nothing to do with Jesse." ”

"Do you think I believe it?" The middle-aged beauty replied with a rhetorical question.

"Ms. Macaulay, Jesse Eisenberg really isn't my type!" The girl pouted.

The middle-aged beautiful woman rolled her eyes and gave a lore, "Miss Hathaway, but he's a Jew~"

When she heard the word Jew, the girl felt as if she had been hit in the head by a giant hammer, and she was stunned on the spot.

After staring at her mother for a long time, the girl shook her head in tears and laughter.

That's right, the guy who was incompetent and furious because the project was cut before was Jesse Eisenberg, who starred in "The Amazing Rogue Troupe" in the future, and the girl who delivered the news to him was Catwoman in Nolan's version of "Batman", Anne Hathaway, as for the project discussed? It was Fox's TV series – "Dreams Come True".

"Dreams Come True" is a youth comedy, and the meaning of its birth is to help Fox TV develop the youth market, which is why when selecting actors, Fox is of course mainly of the right age; In this way, he began to study acting in junior high school, and Jesse Eisenberg, who performed on the Broadway stage in '96, became the target of Fox's investigation, and Anne Hathaway, who attended the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in '93, was also selected by him.

Well, this selection is actually full of moisture.

Unlike Jesse Eisenberg, who has three years of performance experience, Anne Hathaway only performed at Carnegie Hall for three days before getting the offer, and the reason why she was selected was purely because her mother helped her.

Jon Turney, the star of "Dreams Come True", is from Broadway, and Anne Hathaway's mother is a well-known Broadway actor, the two have known each other as early as eighty-five years, and her mother also helped him find a job, so ......

When there's a project that you can stuff people, isn't it just a matter of course to do a favor?

It is precisely because Anne Hathaway has a Broadway background that after joining the crew, she got so close to Jesse Eisenberg, who was also from Broadway, that everyone in the group mistakenly thought that they were in love.

So, when the project went wrong and was about to be cut by Fox, the guys who didn't want to deal with Jesse Eisenberg's grumpy guy naturally thought of asking Anne Hathaway to help deliver the news.

In the eyes of the crew members, this is just an ordinary help, but in the eyes of Anne Hathaway's mother, this is a bad omen that hinders her daughter's promotion, and she knows in her heart that she has been in the entertainment industry for more than 20 years, and what an actress is most afraid of is that there will be a scandal as soon as she debuts.

If her daughter doesn't mix in this industry, she doesn't bother to care who she talks to or how many times she talks, but it is precisely because her daughter has to be reckless in this line of work that she will worry about it, worry about the future, worry about emotions, and worry about life.

But in Anne Hathaway's opinion, this worry of her mother is completely superfluous, because she is really not interested in Jesse Eisenberg, but the Jewish identity mentioned by her mother reminds her who is the boss in the circle she is in now! Who will be given preferential treatment! Who is more likely to succeed!

Because of this, Anne Hathaway, who was lying on the sofa, suddenly asked, "Mom?" ”

"Huh?" The middle-aged beauty who helped her daughter rearrange her clothes did not raise her head and spoke through her nose.

"You say Jesse or me, who has more hope of becoming famous?" The little sister-in-law who had the answer in her heart asked what she was thinking.

However, the middle-aged beauty shook her head and said, "I don't know." ”

"Why? Isn't he Jew? Isn't Hollywood what they say? "Sister-in-law Liang is a little strange.

Such words made the middle-aged beautiful woman laugh, "What you say is indeed true, but there are also divisions within the Jews!" ”

"Jews are not monolithic, when faced with external pressure, they will hold together, and when there is internal conflict, they will also fight against their own people, the most typical is Harvey Weinstein, who does not have a good relationship with his own race, and Steven Spielberg, who likes to unite his people the most, the two of them have conflicts, and they don't interact often."

As soon as her mother said this, Xiaoliang immediately understood, "Then you mean, who will you follow after seeing Jesse?" ”

"If he follows the powerful ones, then his chances of becoming famous will be greatly increased."

"And if he follows the weaker, unless he is lucky, he will be suppressed?"

"Yes, it means pretty much...... the middle-aged beautiful woman replied casually, but before she could finish her words, she became alert when she smelled something abnormal, "Wait...... What do you mean? Do you want to see his background before deciding whether to date him? ”

"Wow! You're just starting out in the industry, and you want to take a shortcut?!!! ”

The middle-aged beauty was very angry.

Back then, in order to prevent her daughter from entering the showbiz, she took the initiative to give up the Broadway stage.

And now, when the daughter who entered the circle has not finished filming her first work, she wants to try to go the crooked way?

This, this, this...... See if she doesn't beat her to death!

Seeing that her mother was about to take off her shoes and smoke herself, she hurriedly raised her hand to hold her head, her body curled up, and explained excitedly: "No! No！ No！ ”

"Mom, listen to me!"

"I really just asked casually!"

"You know, his father was a university professor! His mother was a medical school teacher! The elders in his family don't mix with the showbiz at all! That's why he cares so much about the "Get Real" project! ”

"And now, Fox is going to cut this project, and the saddest thing is of course him!"

"Because even if the project is cut, I still have you, and he has to find the project by himself!"

"That's why I want to know, is a guy like him the only way to go by holding his own clan?"

The unreserved words made the middle-aged beautiful woman breathe a sigh of relief.

Looking at her quail-like daughter, she put down her shoes and asked, "Is that really it?" ”

"Hmm." The words of the urn came out of the ball.

"Okay, get up~" The middle-aged beauty believed her daughter's words and said: "Don't say that you can be promoted by your clan, in Hollywood, as long as there are big names willing to take you, then this is the fastest way to be promoted." ”

"You look at Natalie Portman, a movie can explode."

"And Drew Barrymore, after so many years of tossing, I can still get the book of "Breaking Bad" this year."

"The most typical is Kate Winslet, right? I heard that her aunt asked Arnold Schwarzenegger to go to James Cameron to help her tear up "Titanic", that was "Titanic"! A movie that makes her a winner in life! No. 1 at the box office in film history! Oscar for Best Actress! Oh, my God! This is something that no girl can even think of! ”

Listening to the sour words, the sister-in-law blinked her eyes.

The story of a winner in life, she has heard her mother complain many times.

In fact, she has always felt that her mother can't eat grapes and say that grapes are sour.

What about the No. 1 box office in film history and the Oscar for Best Actress?

The love between Kate and Roland is the most talked-about thing, okay?

Of course, Anne Hathaway would not act as a lever on such a matter, and after her mother's voice fell, she continued: "Aren't all the examples you mentioned related to the Jews...... Natalie Portman with George Lucas, Drew Barrymore with Steven Spielberg, and Kate Winslet from the British Gang? ”

"Looking at it this way, Kate Winslet's strength is the weakest."

"Who told you?"

The middle-aged beautiful woman glanced at her daughter and said, "Among the three people, Kate Winslet is the strongest!" ”

"Huh?" The sister-in-law was stunned, "Why?" ”

"Because of her man~" The middle-aged beauty said as a matter of course: "Her fiancé is Roland Allen." ”

“What？ Isn't Roland Allen an actor? ”

"Didn't all the money he earned over the years go to Berkshire Hathaway stock?" The sister-in-law frowned and said: "And George Lucas has Lucasfilm, Steven Spielberg has Amperin Entertainment and DreamWorks!" ”

The surprised words made the middle-aged beauty snort, "It's just that the media doesn't report his news." ”

At this point, she waved her hand, too lazy to explain to her daughter.

This kind of behavior made Xiaogu Liang very uncomfortable.

Halfway through the words, it's like having a kitten that stomps on you, and when you step on it halfway, when you're just cool, eh, it's gone, that kind of desire will make you have an urge to grab it and suck it up.

Seeing that her mother had the intention of tidying up her luggage and not speaking, Xiaoliang suddenly got up from the sofa, like a piece of kraft candy, and said while rubbing: "My good mother, tell me about it......"

"It's not a secret, don't hide it from me......"

"Didn't Kate and Roland get married for a long time? What else is there? ”

"Roland's biggest achievement is nine championships in ten years, right? I've never heard of anything else......"

"Tell me...... Tell me...... Tell me about it...... Mom! ”

At this moment, the sister-in-law is like a firewood, pestering the master to eat.

And after being annoyed by her daughter, the middle-aged beauty who actually knew nothing could only say: "Okay, okay!" ”

"I'll just say it."

"On the surface, Roland Allen is an actor, but in reality, he is better than George Lucas and Steven Spielberg combined! This kind of power refers not only to wealth, but also to power! ”

"Aha?" My sister-in-law looked incredible, "Why?" ”

"There is no why!" The middle-aged beauty waved her hand impatiently and said, "Anyway, you just need to know one thing, there is no project in Hollywood that he can't get, only a project he wants to get!" ”

"This includes projects by George Lucas and Steven Spielberg!"

"And if he wants to sign someone......"

Speaking of this, the middle-aged beauty paused, so the sister-in-law couldn't wait to continue: "And then? What do you think? ”

The persistent questioning made the middle-aged beauty helpless.

glared at his daughter and said, "If he wants to sign someone, then signing the contract directly is the best choice!" ”

"No matter what the project, no matter how demanding the contract, as long as you sign it, it will definitely become an A-list!"

The words of the oath made Xiaogu Liang even more incomprehensible, but just when she wanted to play the spirit of breaking the casserole and continue to ask, the mobile phone ringing of the jingling bell suddenly appeared.

The conversation paused, and the voice was gone.

Such a move made the middle-aged beauty breathe a sigh of relief.

However, before she could rejoice for a while because of her daughter's departure, the sister-in-law who had just walked out to answer the phone came back with her mobile phone not long after, not only that, but while holding the earpiece with one hand, she also kicked her mother with her foot.

"What are you kicking me for?" The middle-aged beauty was very puzzled.

"Someone is looking for me......" sister-in-law Liang said honestly.

"I'll find you!" Hearing this, the middle-aged beautiful woman almost didn't catch her breath.

She suddenly felt that her daughter was a little stupid, "You take it!" What do you do with an earpiece? ”

"Uh...... Mostly I've only heard his name, but don't know him......"

(o???? ェ?? ｀o)

Sister-in-law Liang showed her innocence, "He said he was Jon Landau, the producer of "Titanic" Jon Landau, and then he came to me because he had a project in hand and wanted me to try it......"

“Wow！ Are you sure? Then tell him quickly, we will have time at any time! ”

The middle-aged beauty is in a hurry, if it weren't for the wrong time, she would have picked up her slippers and smoked her daughter again!

Jon Landau!

That's James Cameron's royal producer!

Such a good opportunity is placed in front of you, what are you doing stupidly!

Say yes!

As for the liars?

Who would pretend to be a big guy like Jon Landau?

As soon as you meet, you can verify your identity!

However, the more excited the middle-aged beauty became, the more scared the sister-in-law became, and when she saw that her mother's eyes were about to burst into flames, she quickly pursed her lips and said the next words in one go-

However, he also said that the project at hand is Roland Allen's...... He's just chargé d'affaires, chargé d'affaires ......"

“What？！！！”

The middle-aged beauty who wanted to smoke her daughter was stunned.

She was dumbfounded for three seconds before she spoke eagerly, "What did you say?" Roland Allen? ”

"Hmm......" Xiaogu Liang swallowed her saliva and nodded cautiously.

And this action also made the middle-aged beauty thunderous, "You damn guy!" ”

"What did I just tell you!"

"No matter what project, no matter how demanding the contract, as long as you sign it, it will definitely become an A-list!"

"Hurry, hurry! Give me your phone! ”

"If you miss the opportunity, you see how I clean you up!"

Probe your hand, seize the opportunity.

When the middle-aged beauty put the mobile phone to her ear, she suddenly changed her face when she was still angry.

“Hi！ Jon! Is it still there? ”

"Yes, yes, yes! I'm Annie's mom! I'm really embarrassed ~ I was just downstairs ~ I was far away from her ~"

"Have a project you'd like to invite Anne to try? Or the heroine? ”

"No problem! No problem! It's just so that we're back in Los Angeles today! ”

"Ahh Good! I'll call you when I get there~"

"I would venture to ask, what is the ...... of this project?"

"Roland Allen's Warcraft film and television full investment? Ah~Okay, okay~"

"Hey, hey, hey~ Be sure to arrive on time~ Don't worry~"

The ecstatic style made the sister-in-law on the side widen her eyes.

Because this is the happiest mother she has ever seen in her life.

Although her mother has never made a movie, she has won a Tony Award for her Broadway play.

But even so, on the day of the award, she was not so happy.

'Why is Mom so happy?' ’

Xiaoliang was a little puzzled.

And what made her even more puzzled was that-

'Does Roland Allen really have that much magic?' ’

The curious sister-in-law turned her head and looked at the poster she had posted in the room.

It was a poster of Titanic.

Jack and Ruth, in the bow of the boat.
