Chapter 122: Waiting
If you want to say that the husbands and boyfriends of Hollywood actresses are most afraid of which male star they cooperate with, Brad Pitt is definitely at the top.
collaborated with Gwyneth Paltrow on "The Seven Deadly Sins", after which Gwyneth became his girlfriend;
collaborated with Angelina Jolie on "Mr. and Mrs. Smith", and it turned out that they really became a couple, and Jennifer Aniston became a poor ex-wife.
This is only the two times Pete himself has been trapped, and as for the other cases of just being ambiguous and taking advantage, there are too many to mention.
For a long time, Brad Pitt has walked the rivers and lakes with the image of "walking hormones", and this character is really more in line with himself.
Although Pete is not a big name in 1994, his bad habit of flirting with actresses who work with him has gradually developed.
The reason why Charlize said that to Charlotte was because she encountered this situation during the audition-
"So, Pete discharged at you?"
For this kind of guy who digs the foot of the wall, Charlotte naturally has no good feelings.
"Sort of!"
Charlize shrugged,
"He's not my cup of tea, though. ”
Originally, he didn't particularly like greasy hormones, and after getting along with Charlotte for a while, Charlize looked at men even more unusually.
Therefore, during the audition, although Pete, who is the actress's partner, teased her intentionally or unintentionally, Charlize did not react at all.
- Maybe this is one of the reasons why he was squeezed out by Gwyneth Paltrow!
Thinking about the audition rival who was amused by Pete's not-so-funny jokes, Charlize felt that he had found another reason for his failure.
Of course, she doesn't regret it!
Since she didn't "dedicate herself to art" when she was not yet at the beginning, she naturally won't be now.
What's more—
"Judging from the audition script, the presence of the heroine of "Seven Deadly Sins" is too weak, and even if it is taken down, it may not be of much help to me. ”
Charlize said with a smile, but Charlotte always felt that this was not what she meant in her smile.
In desperation, he had no choice but to follow the girl's meaning and say:
In contrast, the heroine of "Twelve Monkeys" has a better sense of presence. And the actor Bruce Willis is a good guy!"
Action star Bruce Willis, who made his name for "Die Hard," is actually a good man — by Hollywood standards, of course.
In particular, after marrying Demi Moore, this former bad boy can really be regarded as self-cultivation.
This reassured Charlotte a lot, but—
- "Twelve Monkeys" also has Pete, a "little expert in flirting with girls".
"I can only say that this circle is actually not big!"
Charlotte sighed, but didn't care too much.
After all, in "Twelve Monkeys", Pete exists as a supporting character like a psychopath, and at first everyone thought he was a villain, but later it turned out that this was a joke at all......
More of his rivalry is with Bruce Willis. Charlotte didn't think he had the guts to flirt with him.
"Speaking of which, Sally, do you think there's any possibility that I'll work with Bruce Willis?"
"Got a new script?"
Charlize was immediately interested.
"Sort of!"
Charlotte muttered,
"However, it's still early to mature, let's watch the movie first!"
"Okay!"
As a film critic who mainly evaluates commercial films, Kenneth Turan is very interested in this "Happy Death Day".
He knew the film's director, Charlotte Booth.
In fact, he also gave a good evaluation of the other party's previous "Fatal Bend".
- Well, he admits that he took the money.
But so what?
It's not uncommon for film critics to pay for reviews, but that doesn't mean they speak with a clear conscience.
- Well, that seems a bit hypocritical.
But it is true that if the level of the movie itself is not good, even if the other party stuffs money, Kenneth Turan will not accept it.
This is mainly for the sake of their own reputation.
The profession of film critic actually depends on fame to eat. He couldn't ignore the reputation he relied on for a small sum of money.
- Unless, unless, it is a sum of money large enough that he can retire directly.
However, even with such a sum of money in front of him, he still had to think about it.
After all, in addition to money, he also enjoys the sense of accomplishment when writing film reviews.
- Just for the money, he can't do it to this extent.
Therefore, when the producers of "Happy Death Day" invited him to participate in the internal preview screening, he agreed without hesitation.
Not only is I interested in the movie itself, but I also want to see if Charlotte Booth, a young director, has improved this time.
Unlike Kenneth Turan, film critic Richard Manson was more interested in Charlize Theron's performance.
He gave a good evaluation of Charlize's performance in "Fatal Bend".
In his opinion, who pays attention to actors' performances, Charlize Theron, an actress, is one of the more promising actresses in her 20s.
This girl is very beautiful, and her acting skills are also among the best among her peers, which makes Richard feel that he has seen another star of hope.
"I just don't know if she can make more progress in this second film under Charlotte Booth's tutelage......"
Unlike Bonnie Clyde, who only pays attention to the actor's appearance, Richard Manson hopes to see the actor's acting skills improve.
From this point of view, he feels that Theron's continuous appearance in Charlotte Booth's movies is actually a mistake -
The other party is a rookie director, not to mention that the actor's ability to guide may not be enough, the key is that the other party is a genre film director!
- Out of his own preferences, Richard is a little discriminatory against genre films such as horror films, and he has always felt that such films have limited training for actors' acting skills.
Of course, he also understands that if a rookie actor wants to get ahead, he can only be in these genre films. What's more—
"Charlotte Booth dared to use an unknown girl as the heroine in her debut novel, I'm afraid there will be a ...... between the two"
Richard didn't have much of an opinion on that.
After all, being the muse of directors is too normal for Hollywood actresses.
For example, Woody Allen, an old man with an almost scum character, and an actress who is willing to be his muse is like a carp crossing the river, isn't it because he is good at training actors, especially actresses' acting skills!
And in Hollywood circles, many people even have an appreciative attitude towards this.
It can only be said that the world view and even values will be correspondingly different depending on the circle of life.
However, for "Happy Death Day", Richard Manson did not only pay attention to Charlize Theron, he also noticed Jodie Foster's cameo.
"What kind of performance will this double actress give?"
Richard was looking forward to it.
In particular, thinking that Bonnie Clyde, who can only look at faces, did not get the invitation of the filmmaker at all this time, he looked forward to it even more.
- Well, this can only be said to be a rival.
- And Richard Manson and Bonnie Clyde, who are also film critics, have different philosophies and opposite genders, and they are the enemies of the family.
