jerk!
douchebag!
Demi Moore's pursuit of the heroine of "Ghostly Love" is still undecided, and obviously, she should not expect anything extravagantly.
It's really just a dream.
After driving at the speed of the car for a while, the more I thought about it, the more angry I became, so I took off the silk scarf around my neck, stopped the car when I passed a trash can, and rolled down the window to throw it out.He hesitated for a while, and noticed that the owner of the newsstand by the road was staring at him, and managed to find a reasonable reason to put the silk scarf back again.
Pointing to a copy of the Los Angeles Times, he pulled out his change and handed it over.
It seems that I saw the words Daenerys Entertainment in the newspaper, and I was curious.
Recently, I can't help but pay attention to the affairs of this company.
After picking up the newspaper, he drove to a nearby open-air cafe and stopped.
I got out of the car and found a place, ordered a cup of coffee, and opened it casually.
It turns out that Daenerys Entertainment and the ABC TV network have news about the new contract for the second season of "Who Will Be a Millionaire". Does a TV show need to make headlines?
but.
After reading the subtitle, I found that Daenerys Entertainment lost a total of 8000 million US dollars on this new contract signing.
Gee.
I feel better immediately.
So he beckoned the waiter and ordered another dessert.
Figure aside.
Let's celebrate this time first.
While drinking coffee, he carefully read the article in the newspaper.
Then I couldn't help but be dumbfounded.
Oh my goodness.
A simple question-and-answer show can earn $2.5 million. Is it a money grab?
The contract for the new season has been conceded 8000 million, and that guy still seems to be earning a little more than ABC.
Ok.
$ 1.7 billion.
Can't help but start fantasizing.
If you have 1 million, how should you spend it?
If you give up rationally after thinking about it for a while, you probably have nothing to hope for in this life.
She has always been a sensible person.
Raised by her mother alone since she was a child, she rarely had any unrealistic fantasies. He dropped out of school at the age of 16 and started working to subsidize his family. Later, he accidentally became a model and gained a good reputation, but he has been haunted by the pressure of life accumulated since childhood. At the age of 30, he found that his modeling career was completely unsustainable, so he hurriedly tried to transform into an actor.
Starting from a small community theater, I also signed up for an acting class, but it was not until two years ago that I got a small role in a TV series.
Finally a little improvement.
I still understand that age is my biggest disadvantage.
Last month, her first movie, about baseball, was finally released, called "Big League."She played a woman who was abandoned by playboys several times and returned to him again. She felt so stupid. When she met such a guy in reality, she would never give him a second chance. If she dared to pester herself, she would beat her up first. Dayton, call the police again.
Ok.
Seems to have come across one.
This does not count.
The box office of "Big League" is not bad, and the box office has exceeded 3000 million US dollars in one month.
I also successfully got a new audition opportunity.
But it was disgusting.
After going through the world, I am very aware of the dark sides in these circles, but I would not have reacted like this in the first place.Probably, it was because of the experience last Friday night.
Ugh.
nasty man.
All kinds of cranky thoughts, drank the coffee, read the whole newspaper, and only took a few bites of the dessert.
As dusk fell and she was about to leave after paying the bill, the pager in her bag rang.
She took it out and took a look. The manager asked her to call back. She was in a hurry, so she walked to a pay phone booth.
Some kind of anticipation was born inexplicably.
The phone was connected, and there was a message that Simon Westero asked her to go to an address in Beverly Hills at 8 o'clock in the evening.
The agent's tone was excited.
She herself may be a little excited, but also a little resistant.
I am not the kind of woman who is called at any time.
However, for the sake of him still remembering himself, just go and have a look.It's just that he can't be allowed to succeed tonight. Men don't always cherish things that are too easy to get.
Hang up the phone and check the time, it is already [-]:[-].
He hurried to his car.
I still have to go back to my residence and dress up. This, um, is just for politeness. After all, the clothes on my body are prepared for the audition role in the afternoon, and they don’t look good.
Chapter 260 It's Not Affordable (Repair)
Taking the time to return to his residence in West Hollywood from Burbank, dress up, and rush to Beverly Hills.
In the end, I was late because I got lost.
At a quarter past eight, I finally found a mansion in Trousdale Manor. Renee Russell felt like she was going to cry, wondering if she would be turned away.
That didn't happen.
A small private party was being held in the mansion, and Renee Russell was taken to the living room next to the living room of the villa, where a group of men and women were sitting on the sofa and chatting.She glanced around, Martin Scorsese, Robert De Niro, Susan Sarandon, Jessica Lange... Of course, there was that nasty man.
Although there are not many people, to ordinary movie fans, everyone is like a thunderbolt.
So I can't help but feel a little inferior.
She knew everyone in the room who probably didn't know her.
Seeing the woman appearing, Simon got up and walked over. Seeing Simon like this, everyone in the room stood up and looked towards the door.
"Come on, let me introduce you."
The man came over and didn't mention her being late at all. He put one hand on her waist and pushed her forward, and she took a few steps forward. After listening to his introduction, she finally calmed down and talked with Scorsese one by one. Wait for someone to say hello.
After a short greeting, everyone sat down again.
Renee Russell sat quietly beside Simon, took a glass of red wine handed over by the man, and listened to him talking and laughing with Scorsese and others.
For more than an hour, they probably only remembered that they talked about Martin Scorsese's new film "Goodfellas", and De Niro's upcoming film at the end of June, which seemed to be called "The Sixth Sense of Spirituality". I also noticed this movie recently. He wrote the script himself, but apart from the name, he still doesn't know exactly what it is about, and it seems to be very confidential.
So until about ten o'clock, the small gathering gradually dispersed.
After sending away Robert De Niro and Harvey Keitel who were the last to leave together, Rene Russo found that she and he were the only ones left in the mansion.
Simon took the woman back to the villa, noticed her doubts, and explained: "Recently, I will finish some post-production of "Batman" in Warner Studios, and I don't want to run too far back and forth to work, so I live here."
Although Daenerys Entertainment headquarters also has a dedicated post-production studio, it cannot meet all the technical needs of "Batman".
The villa in Trousdale Manor is naturally also a property under the name of Simon. He found that his obsessive-compulsive habit of buying properties everywhere can no longer be changed. Fortunately, his current net worth is completely affordable.
Simon also gradually felt that buying a house might be his hobby.
Renee Russell was a little frustrated.
At first, she thought that she couldn't let him succeed tonight, but, watching him go straight upstairs, she realized that she had already followed the stairs without knowing it.Just like facing a group of big names tonight, just sitting next to him feels at ease, and it seems that there is something to rely on.
When he came to the second floor, fortunately, he didn't go directly to the bedroom, but to a study.
Simon found a book and a script from the somewhat messy desk, turned around and handed it to Renee Russell, and said, "You have met Martin just now, this is the original novel and script of his next movie, I I think the role of the heroine Helen Hill is very suitable for you. Take it back and prepare, Martin will arrange an audition for you next week, as long as your performance meets the standard, this role will be yours."
Renee Russell took the script and the novel, looked at the name of "Goodfellas" on the cover of the script, and was a little dazed.
Martin Scorsese.
Among the four major directors in Hollywood, Steven Spielberg, Francis Ford Coppola, George Lucas and Martin Scorsese, Scorsese is the most attractive actor to work with him .
Because compared to the other three directors, as a frequent visitor to various film awards, Scorsese's films often give actors more room to play, and at the same time, they also take their careers to the next level.Robert De Niro, Harvey Keitel, and Jodie Foster, who just won the Oscar for Best Actress this year, all made their name in Hollywood by virtue of Scorsese's films.
Thinking of this, Renee Russell felt unconfident again.
Are you really capable of starring in a Martin Scorsese movie?
Simon handed the manuscript to the woman, turned to the desk and sat down, picked up a document about Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) and flipped through it, noticing Renee Russell's silence, and asked, "What's wrong?"
Renee Russell hesitated, but said, "I'm not sure if I can act well."
"That's why you have to prepare seriously," Simon said, "I talked to Martin. His new film is a man's play. Although Helen Hill is the first heroine, she is actually more of a supporting role. Not much, as long as you don't do too badly in the audition process, you can get the role, and Martin will continue to guide you during the filming process. Also, I read the script, and the role of Helen Hill has a lot of room for development. Big, and if you're willing to put in enough effort, you might even get an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actress in the future. You started too late in your career, and Hollywood doesn't give you many opportunities to hone your acting skills. Being in Martin's film is It's the best way to help you broaden your playing path and quickly get rid of the vase state."
Renee Russell nodded slightly after listening to Simon's patient explanation.
Then the room fell silent again.
He sat behind the desk and flipped through the materials.
She held two manuscripts and stood opposite him watching him flip through the materials.
Simon unconsciously flipped through a ten-page HTML document, and only looked up again after more than ten minutes.
Renee Russell still stood where she was, with more aggrieved and stubborn eyes, staring at him fixedly.
This.
Is it punishing yourself?
The man across the desk sized her up and finally asked, "Did you drive here?"
She still stared at him and hummed.
"In this case, it's already late, let's go back."
Her eyes widened a little, could it be that she heard it wrong?
Then I saw him walking over, seeing that she was not moving, so I stretched out my hand and stroked her cheek with his finger.
After all, this body is her greatest capital, and she has been paying great attention to maintenance these years.Although she is 35 years old, she is confident that her skin is no worse than those girls in their early 20s, and even better.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been so 'hard to put it down' that night that he left a lot of marks.
However, the man's finger slipped to her neck and retracted, and said again: "Go back, you just had a drink, I'll ask Neil to see you off."
After saying that, she saw him leave the room first.
Had to follow out again.
When she came to the front yard, her mood was still a bit complicated. She actually only drank half a glass of red wine and wanted to refuse him to send her a driver, but he was very determined and had to obey.
Her car was left here, and it was his car.
Originally thinking about whether there could be some connection, his driver sent her car to West Hollywood the next morning.
Auditions are scheduled for the Wednesday of the second week.
She had already accumulated several years of performance foundation. When ICM heard the news, it specially invited a famous acting teacher in Los Angeles to help her study the role. After four days of serious preparation, she successfully passed Martin Scorsese Scorsese personally presided over the audition, and Scorsese also praised her performance.
It can be seen that it is not a courtesy.
However, the mood in the next few days has not been very good.
Maybe it was because she was given a role, and it was considered clear, that man never contacted her again.
……
Until his flight to Europe, Simon drowned himself in as much work as possible.Ever since that coma, he felt that something should not have appeared in his consciousness, and he couldn't even tell whether those things came from the original owner of this body or the awakening of some of his own consciousness.
However, he is very aware that this mentality is very abnormal, so he has been forcibly suppressing it.
