atypical hollywood life

After flying to England, Margaret stayed in the hotel arranged by the crew.Victoria was working hard for her career in Los Angeles at this time. When she learned that Margaret was going to London to make a movie, she generously lent her house.But although she kindly lent her house to Margaret, but for Margaret, if the owner is not at home, she is really embarrassed to live in other people's house.This is not a hotel, you can do what you like after spending money, other people's homes are too private.Lex actually bought a bunch of real estate in London for investment, and bought a few properties for her by the way, but these houses are either in the rest period and need to be redecorated, or the shooting locations are too far away, so it’s not convenient to come and go .So since the crew provided a hotel, Margaret didn't bother herself anymore. To her, early check-in was just a matter of paying for the extra few days. .

After getting settled in the hotel, Margaret didn't go directly to the crew. It's already December 22nd, and people are busy with Christmas. Who has the time to work on the crew?Except for a few production crews who had to catch up with the schedule, the set was deserted.Coupled with the weather in the UK, it was a bleak wind with light rain, and it was completely possible to shoot a Wei-Jin style history of the son's downfall.

So Margaret was asked out by a good bear friend after visiting a circle of relatives.

After a while, Margaret notices that her old friend, Mr. Cruise, seems to suddenly look radiant.Didn't this guy start his third spring not long after the divorce?Margaret shuddered at her guess, it couldn't be true, could it?

Look at Mr. Cruise's face, which is rosy and shiny, and his eyes are not as tired as they were when they parted in London last time. His hair is not his usual mess, but neatly arranged. Knowing that he only did this at the awards ceremony.This is really not like the usual him, especially this guy is actually very tasteful wearing casual clothes other than a suit, which is too scary.No one would believe that the above things did not happen to him.

"Has anything good happened recently?" Margaret asked cautiously.

There is no way, Mr. Cruise in front of him looks refreshed on happy occasions, which makes Margaret really doubt the other party's mental state.

"Of course Nicole and I are back as friends after the divorce and I must say it feels better than when we were a couple. No fights, no personality clashes, no life disagreements, no anxieties and conflicts. Angry. We were even able to have a pleasant dinner together in peace and go to the theater to see a Shakespeare play. Speaking of this, I have to say that Romeo and Juliet in the London theater is not as good as you and Leonardo di Caprio’s movies, whether it’s the looks of the actors or the expression of feelings. I knew that life after the breakup was so happy. Nicole and I should have divorced earlier. This will make our lives much easier.” Crewe Mr. Si happily said an answer that surprised Margaret.

"Whoa, so you're back together again?" Is this the same rhythm as Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton are preparing to remarry?Margaret felt a little out of step.Becoming friends after a divorce is too much of a thing.

"of course not!"

Mr. Crews flatly denied Margaret's conjecture. He looked at Margaret in surprise, "Why would you want to go there? This is simply the worst idea. We managed to get rid of this damn thing. In a suffocating state, it is impossible to come together."

"Um, well, I admit that I guessed wrong, but your state is indeed very strange. Generally, even if a couple doesn't turn against each other after divorce, they can only do superficial work at most, and say hello affectionately when they meet. There is no expression on your face, how can anyone go to a drama and have dinner together like you." This is not normal at all, okay?Don't talk about how Hollywood star couples miss each other after their divorce, it's all about saving face, and it's just for everyone to see.Or there is a new film released to promote and stir up topics.It's rare for someone to really get along with their ex-wife or ex-husband as close friends after a divorce.

"It was probably after the divorce that we realized that our understanding of each other was not so comprehensive. Our married life was more full of work. We may be able to tolerate many things about each other when we were not living together when we were in love, but married After that, you know, that’s what happened. It needs more compromise and tolerance, but you also know that Nicole and I are not the kind of people who are willing to regress. This makes our life difficult. Faer continues." Mr. Crews made a gesture of curling his lips.

"Meg, we have known each other for several years. I think you should know my character very well. I don't deny that I am a complete male chauvinist in terms of family. I hope that my wife will pay more attention to my personality. On my body rather than in the colorful world outside. Of course, I am not saying that I cannot accept that my wife has her own career. If this is the case, I will not be able to marry Nicole. I knew before marriage that she is very career-minded. Woman, this does not prevent me from loving her. But it is, I hope that my wife will at least consider my opinion when making some decisions that will hurt me instead of going her own way. I hope my married life can be full of warmth and intimacy, rather than being filled with all kinds of barriers and quarrels. Nicole and I have completely incompatible views, which is our biggest difference. But once we jump out of this range, our relationship will become much more natural. You can also look at things more objectively.” They feel much better as friends than as husband and wife.

Mr. Crews said a lot in one breath. Divorce has indeed made his personality much more cheerful. Now he can naturally talk about the unsatisfactory marriage in front of others instead of being tortured by this irritable feeling. I can't eat or sleep well.

"Well, I think I should say congratulations on the divorce?" Margaret nodded, and said something that made Mr. Cruise dumbfounded.

"I can only accept it helplessly when you say that, because I am indeed happy because of the divorce. By the way, you should give this sentence to Nicole. She is much more excited than me. And she has already received a divorce. A play I like so much I've always wanted to act in... No, no, Meg, promise me? Don't go to the theater to see this play."

Mr. Crews looked at the expression of the little girl in front of him eager to watch his ex-wife's works with a headache.Originally, he planned to watch every performance of Nicole from beginning to end, but the two were still husband and wife at that time, and this kind of behavior was fine.Now that the two are divorced, it would be too much and too embarrassing to go to see the ex-wife's nude show or something.He himself was like this, and he didn't want little Meg to watch this drama, because some of the scenes in it were really not suitable for an underage girl to watch.But he really couldn't be sure if he could stop this brat.Her combat prowess is not ordinary, the guy who dared to go skydiving with him at the age of 12, and attempted bungee jumping, he was really not sure if she would listen to his advice and suppress the urge to go to the theater to watch performances.

Poor Mr. Cruise sighed, why are there always so many weird people around me?

"Well, don't worry, Tom. I'm not going to the theater." No wonder!Margaret was really curious about what kind of drama had such great power, and it actually became the trigger for the divorce of the husband and wife. It was like a pair of little hands growing in her heart, scratching and scratching constantly, It's very itchy.If she didn't take a look, she felt that this itchy feeling couldn't be stopped.

Looking suspiciously at Margaret's face with an unusually sweet smile, Mr. Cruise felt a little stuffy, so he wouldn't believe you, brat!

However, he is really powerless to stop the other party's actions. This kind of thing is really embarrassing. It is shameful to think about stopping his friends from going to the theater to watch his ex-wife's naked scenes.Helplessly wiped his face.Anyway, it's still far away from the time when "The Blue Room" will be staged. I hope Margaret will have forgotten about it by then.It's a pity that as a bear friend, Mr. Cruise is still not qualified. If Margaret really listened to him and didn't go to the drama, they wouldn't have become good friends in the first place.Bears are still bears even if they are a hundred years old!

After talking about those terrible things, the topic of the two of them returned to the movie.

"However, there seems to be something wrong with your state. Mr. Kubrick hasn't been troubled recently?" Who would believe that he is troubled by his marriage life with this energetic appearance every day?The difference is too big, okay?

"Ah, well, Stanley has been in a bad mood recently."

Mr. Crews winked at Margaret. His happy mood really affected the shooting.The same situation also has the heroine Nicole.Originally, the marriage status of the two people was in line with the psychological state of the hero and heroine in the movie, and there was also an undercurrent hidden under the calm waves, and they were restless and ready to move.The previous filming went smoothly even under Kubrick's strict requirements.But now that the dark clouds above the two of them have moved away, and the sky is clear, where else can they find such a state?They were fine, but the cloud moved over Kubrick's head.I don't know whether the director should cry or laugh when he knows that his hero and heroine have a big reason for their divorce.It's really a typical example of self-inflicted crimes.

Margaret also blinked her eyes and smiled into two crescent moons. Oh, I don't know why I suddenly feel so happy.

The two of them laughed like crazy, causing the bodyguards in the distance to look sideways.

"Ahem, we shouldn't laugh at others like this." After laughing, Mr. Cruise said seriously, as if he wasn't the one who mentioned it.

"Come on, Tom, you might as well say we shouldn't gloat!" Margaret taunted him.This guy was probably bullied too hard by Kubrick some time ago, and he has a little temper recently.

"Let's not talk about that, how long will you be filming in the UK this time?" He was fooled by Stanley Kubrick to the UK in June 1996, and now he has arrived without knowing it. At the end of 1997, a year and a half passed, and he felt a deep sense of boredom.Maybe that's why he made up his mind so quickly to end the marriage.It was too depressing, and he didn't want to stay in London any longer.

"The scheduled shooting date is three months. It depends on the director's speed. If it is fast, it may end early. Is there any problem?"

"No, I'm just feeling the shooting time of "Close Eyes". If it's other movies, I've probably finished shooting several of them." So he should hurry up and finish this movie.No matter how it continues to be delayed, he doubts that the film will be delayed until 1999, and it will really become a nightmare.
