atypical hollywood life

"Hi, Margaret, it's great to see you again." Producer Andrew Webb greeted Margaret.This is his lucky star. With her, Warner Bros. studios have given the movie a lot more budget, which allows him to loosen the rope tied to director Baz Luhrmann.

"Hi, Andrew, I am also very glad to meet you. It seems that you are in a good mood recently." Margaret said with a smile.

She didn't like or dislike Andrew Weber. Although he was talented from a certain point of view, he was more like a businessman than an artist, but he didn't have the rudeness and brutality of those elites on Wall Street.

Yes, this is Margaret's impression of Wall Street, regardless of how polite and elite they are on the surface.In fact, the nature of these Wall Street elites is a group of rough and savage wolves.Even though they look well-dressed, they are still a bunch of bastards at heart, and their pleasure is to destroy and devour.Including Lex and Howard, the same is true when they are playing with capital in high-rise buildings on Wall Street, but they know how to restrain themselves better, and they will not indulge and collapse like getting rich overnight or going bankrupt overnight.

Howard once said to her, "I'm stressed enough, I have to find some fun to make myself happy, instead of spending money on things that are not given voluntarily, I would rather find some balance in my work, at least busy I’m very happy with the results I get afterwards.”

See, that's what Wall Street's elite really are, and sometimes workaholics are just another way to unwind.

Margaret has no intention of criticizing the lifestyle of the man at home, she herself likes extreme sports.Everyone responds to stress differently, and that's nothing special.It was enough that Mr. Weber in front of her at least gave her a feeling of being comfortable with her.

"Meg!" Andrew Weber's answer was interrupted by the appearance of Baz Luhrmann.

"Buzz." Margaret gave Baz Luhrmann a big hug, and the two laughed together. Isn't it great to work with old friends again after a year?

"I'm so glad you're in this movie, I couldn't believe it when Andrew told me it was so exciting."

Buzz has worked with many actresses, both in opera and drama as well as in film, but Margaret is his favorite.In terms of acting, she is very talented, and she can always express the director's thoughts very accurately. Her appearance is pleasing to the eye, and looking at her makes people feel good.The most important thing is that she is very obedient, and she can do whatever the director tells her to do. As long as it is within the scope of the contract, she is the embodiment of the director's acting personality. Margaret will never change the script without authorization or show performances that the director doesn't like. way, if the director says a shot is not good, she will accompany the director to continue. Is there anything better than this for a director?

While filming "Romeo and Juliet," Buzz decided that this girl had a bright future.Beautiful, capable of acting, and obedient, she is simply the dream partner of all directors.Now the facts really proved his prophecy.

"What's the excitement? Can you continue to fool my actor?" Margaret said jokingly.She knew how Buzz fooled Leo back then.The skill of this director is simply unfathomable, and he can always talk nonsense in a serious manner.she likes!

"Haha, don't worry, Meg, I don't need to do psychological work for the actors this time, so this kind of thing won't happen again." Buzz said with a big laugh.

One of the reasons the two got along so well was because they both loved serious nonsense.When rehearsing for that "Oprah Show", Leonardo was the only one who was worried. The two often huddled together to figure out how to make people believe their nonsense.If it wasn't for Margaret's agent and Buzz's wife, they might have done something weird.A bear, and a character with an out-of-the-ordinary personality, it's no wonder that nothing happens when they get together like this!

Fortunately, the producers of the two films were very reliable, and Buzz is not a person who does not care about it. He is still very dedicated to the film.

"I'm quite relieved, you should be useless this time." Margaret nodded.

Ivan has cooperated with her for the third time. During the first cooperation, the two kissed many times. The number of NGs almost caught up with the number of NGs with Leo during the filming of "Romeo and Juliet". The second filming It wasn't long before the end, although she knew that Obi-Wan and Padmé had no ambiguous relationship, but Ivan had been misled by George into a polyamorous relationship.Two people plus the previous two false romances, this is the third time to shoot couples, right?It seems that they are already too familiar, and there is no need for Buzz to use his tricks.

As for the leading actor Phantom, well, in fact, although the name of this movie is "Phantom of the Opera", the leading actor is really guilty of what he said. There are only fourteen lines in the whole movie. up.The rest of the time is just singing and singing. Judging from the script, the biggest scene of two people is hugging each other. There is no kissing scene at all. It is not as good as the rivalry scene between Christine and Viscount Charles. much.Who is Buzz going to fool?

The script reading was so silent that it couldn’t be more silent. In fact, Margaret was very curious why they held this script reading. Including the heroine, everyone actually didn’t have many lines, and most of the time they sang.As for the leading actor next to her, Margaret felt that there was no need for him to participate. As she said, you should read fourteen lines aloud. Do you want everyone to sing loudly in the conference room?But since the producer and director insist, let's do it.Anyway, it's not the first time for her to participate in the script reading, and she is very familiar with it.

After the reading, the crew entered the official shooting.The director and heroine who collaborated for the second time, the male lead and heroine who collaborated for the third time, and the male and female protagonists who collaborated for the first time, the combination of several people was surprisingly well-produced, and the rhythm of the filming was particularly smooth. The smoothness made Andrew Weber wonder whether it was the sad ten years he had been looking for Christine in the past that moved God, which made the progress of this movie surprisingly smooth?

Even when the hero and heroine are free, they can already dance "Song in the Rain" with their skirts on the side?

Yes, that's right, it's "Singin' in the Rain". Margaret and Hugh Jackman, Australia's best opera singer, started discussing musicals during the intermission.The two of them didn't know what to say, so they talked about the classic "Singin' in the Rain", and even improvised a live performance.The director also booed along with them, driving the camera to film them behind the scenes.Andrew suddenly felt a little tired.Such a cheerful rhythm is really not suitable for the sad tone of "Phantom of the Opera", please don't hurt me like this.

However, no one cared about the fragile psychology of the producer.Because even Ivan, the male number two, jumped up along with him.They still play the famous 'Goodmorning', which makes people want to fly happily.

"Good morning, good morning."

Margaret jumped onto the steps of the background stage with the hem of her skirt in hand,

"We've talked the whole night through."

Ewan McGregor and Hugh Jackman took up the follow-up of Margaret, and the three of them lined up in a row and happily tap danced on the stage built by the crew, and the heels hit the stage. The voice was crisp and pleasant, and Andrew had to admit that the three of them were really excellent singers and dancers, and they were able to cooperate so tacitly without rehearsal.

"Its greattostayuplate, goodmorning, goodmorning, toyou, andyou, andyouandyou.

Margaret had already pulled down the curtain and wrapped it around her waist and started to shake it. Hugh Jackman even performed a matador dance move very cooperatively. Ewan McGregor was not far behind and dragged Buzz along Bouncing and bouncing.

Andrew really wanted to cover his face and groan. He felt that he was not so lucky. Why are directors and actors all so funny?The style of painting doesn't match the tone of the movie at all.Seeing how many people wanted to do another episode of 'Singing in the rain', Andrew felt that he couldn't continue watching, or his blood vessels would burst!

Mr. Producer who left didn't know that after he left, several people completely let themselves go, and the scene became a sea of ​​joy.

"When Buzz approached me, I couldn't believe this opportunity would come to me. You know, I never expected to be the leading actor in the first movie, even if it was only a half-faced leading actor. ’ the tall Australian actor laughed at himself.

"Actually, I can completely understand why Buzz asked you to play the role of Phantom." Margaret showed a wicked smile.

After all, Buzz is an Australian director. Actors who can support Australian actors will never consider actors from other countries. They always want to contribute to the acting career in their hometown.Moreover, this Mr. Jackman is a well-known actor who is good at singing and dancing, and his image is also very good. Anyway, the heroine of the movie has won an Oscar actress, and the second male lead has also appointed a British actor. Of course, the male lead will consider the director's recommendation. As a musical actor who has already made a name for himself, who else can Buzz look for if he doesn't look for him?

"Look, you are tall. Isn't the dark cloud of phantom hanging over Christine and Shire's love affair? If it is an actor of average height, how can he show the heaviness and depression of this dark cloud? You sing well , the dance is also very good, both Christine and Shire can sing the original sound by themselves, of course the Phantom as the leading actor can't lose to these two, and you are handsome, female audiences will always be called for handsome The phantom manipulated by the tragic fate is fascinated, so the box office does not have to worry, hahahaha..."

Margaret "deeply" analyzed the reasons why Buzz chose Hugh Jackman, and after the analysis, she couldn't help but started laughing.

Hugh Jackman also laughed with her. In fact, when you think about it, it’s really the same thing. Margaret’s analysis is very precise. Except for the fact that he is an Australian, she hits almost every point. But regarding nationality, Hugh Jackman thought that the other party should know this but didn't say it.But this can be regarded as an unspoken rule in the film industry, especially in the field of directors outside the United States.Everyone likes to use people from their own country. The sense of national honor is one thing, and the reason for the salary is probably also a very important reason.His salary for this film was only a few hundred thousand. Although the crew did not disclose the salary of each actor, he knew that the salary of the little girl in front of him should be at least ten times that of his. With the movie in hand, she is the biggest name in the crew.

"Actually, I think you are very suitable for a role." Margaret said to Hugh Jackman very seriously.

"Tell me?" Hugh Jackman became serious after being troubled by Margaret's serious expression.

"Wolverine. You look so handsome and have such a good figure. It's a pity not to play Wolverine." Margaret said solemnly.

"Huh?" Isn't Wolverine only a little over five feet (1.6 meters) tall?The future Uncle Wolf is a bit confused.
