atypical hollywood life

"Uh—" Margaret twitched the corners of her mouth.

It really made Harry talk, Universal has already started the "Hulk" project.The director is still unknown, and the relationship between the male lead and the female lead has not yet been determined, but the other party is really sincere in giving her a salary of 2000 million for such a vase role. Universal in Snow White and the Huntsman?Looking at another superhero "Daredevil" that [-]th Century Fox is planning to launch next year, Margaret almost choked herself without spitting out a mouthful of water.

Hell, why is it Ben Affleck again?Why is this guy's recent presence so strong?

The box office tragedy of "Pearl Harbor" is still vivid in my mind, so there is another rumor that I can provide some special services to the director for the role.So many directors who have such a little bit of special hobbies dare not use him, for fear that they will be labeled as blind, because of the following nonsense, even actors who are so bad at acting dare to accept him.Why is it popping up again now?In other words, he is a good friend with such a high EQ, why didn't it infect him a little bit?

Margaret rubbed her chin and thought deeply. Although the guy she pissed off last time was quite pleasant, let's forget about working together.She seems to remember that the nickname in later generations is Sour Plum. Before winning the Oscar for best film, the films she made were getting worse and worse. If the director's skill tree is not lit up, it is estimated that it will really suck to the end. up.Margaret felt that although she had no pursuit of awards, at least she should not make herself really go to the golden raspberry to receive the award.This tarnishes her bright and brilliant image.

So she threw the script of "Daredevil" aside in the end. As for "Hulk", the heroine of that film has less room to play than "Daredevil". It's just a posing!Universal gave her such a high salary, probably because she had no idea and wanted to use her to gain popularity.It's not a pity to give up.

After throwing out several scripts in a row, Margaret felt a little discouraged.Why is it that the ones looking for her are not the kind of big vases or the kind of painful and profound literary films?Why isn't there a movie that makes people feel happy?Even if it’s an independent production, you should at least find one with a happy ending. Either the male lead dies, or the female lead dies, or two people know each other and love each other but can’t be together. Isn’t this pure torture?

She died enough times in the movie, I really don't want to continue to be miserable, so throw it away, throw it all away!

"Simone?" Another biopic?I have never heard of this name before, Margaret opened the folder.

This time it's not a headline party, but the heroine is still not a very playable role.A virtual character made by a computer has no thoughts of its own, and of course there is no need to mention acting skills.Margaret thinks that they can find a supermodel to complete such a role. There are a bunch of them who are beautiful and have a mechanical sense. Why come to her?It's not worth wasting money!

"The leading actor has been decided, and it's Al Pacino." Carl turned to the summary page of "Simone".

"Believe me, even if Dustin Hoffman, Jack Nicholson, Robert De Niro and Al Pacino were all gathered together, I wouldn't want to make this movie. It's too annoying .” Margaret felt that the director was really addicting to irony.

The original "The Truman Show" satirized the media well, and now this "Simone" comes out again, together with the original "Gait Shot", it can almost form a trilogy that satirizes the world , is really enough to enjoy one another.

However, Margaret is not interested in playing this game with the director. She doesn’t like the role of Simone. It’s too tragic. Life and death depend on only one anti-virus software. This reminds her that she can only rely on a ventilator at the end of her life. The days of maintaining, I feel very uncomfortable in my heart.

As for the "Chicago" that came later, Margaret said that she doesn't want to have anything to do with the Weinstein brothers at all now, it's too annoying.Their promise of a Best Actress nomination again irked Margaret even more.After dealing with the brothers many times, you will find that apart from the benefits that the movie can bring, the rest is worthless in their eyes.This can be seen from the original "The Talented Ripley". Didn't the other party promise her an Oscar nomination?Although she doesn't care whether she wins or not, she has to do what she says, otherwise why are you talking about it?

Besides, the character of Roxie is also unlikable. Margaret always chooses the characters she likes to play in the movies. If she herself doesn't like the characters she plays, how can others have feelings for this role? resonance?Moreover, Margaret is really not interested in the singing and dancing theme of "Chicago", otherwise she would have gotten this role on Broadway.This movie really fully explained what is called the ugliness of human nature. Roxy, Velma, and Billy are uglier than each other, and the whole movie is full of negative energy.

And to put it bluntly, the film is still coquettish.Because of "The Mask of Zorro", Margaret once directed Catherine Zeta-Jones to see this movie.But apart from the full screen of thighs and glistening flesh, the ubiquitous malice is full. If I really want to talk about the connotation, I am sorry that she has not experienced that period of history and cannot feel it.

What American stories reflect the characteristics of that chaotic era, profoundly expose the dark side of society at that time, and have a very deep portrayal of human nature... Are these important to her?She is so miserable, she just wanted to watch a movie to relax her mind, but in the end, she saw a work that added trouble, can she not be troubled?

Although she asked for this, but what Margaret is best at is to spit on others to make fun of herself, so it is a pity that the film "Chicago" was recruited.

But the next script she found made her not so calm. Although it was still from Miramax's work, her heart couldn't help but thump.

This is Kill Bill!The heroine wields a long knife and kills all directions in "Kill Bill"!Margaret has always been in love with this kind of film, and has wanted to act in this purely violent film for a long time.Originally, because of Quentin Tarantino's fascination with Uma Thurman, she thought there was no hope, but she never thought that this film would fall into her bowl one day, which is so exciting OK!

Wait, no, Margaret quickly calmed down after getting excited.At the beginning, Quentin Tarantino clearly imagined Uma Thurman wearing a wedding dress and holding a long knife with her. How could he suddenly change his mind and change the heroine?Could it be the Weinstein brothers again?

She decided to clarify the matter, if she is not the director's favorite candidate, it is not a good idea, even if she has no integrity, it is not a good thing to steal a movie tailored for the sweetheart. Can't do it.That's not a loss of integrity, it's a loss of the bottom line!

"Is the movie not making a decision now?" Seeing Margaret hesitantly putting the script of "Kill Bill" on the independent side, Karl asked her.

It was the first time Karl saw an actor like Margaret who could pick a script of his own choice. Often she would make a choice after reading a rough outline of a script, which made her hesitate. "Kill Bill" was the first back.

"I had a discussion with Quentin Tarantino about the content of the script and gave him some advice. At the time I was pretty sure he told me that the heroine of the film was Uma Thurman, and now suddenly Sending me the script doesn't feel right to me. I'm going to call Bryan sometime and see if he knows something. You know, I'll call Tarantino straight up The words are not very good." Who knows if there is something tricky in the middle?It is better to find a middleman.

"About this question, I think I can answer you, without counting the time difference to call Brian." After Carl got the answer, he gave Margaret an unexpected answer.

After he took over Andrea's assistant job, he even took over her gossip job.The assistant lady once told him that he should always pay attention to the gossip news from the outside world and tell his employer.In case one day she went out to socialize and bumped into some unknown things, she would always think that Johnny Depp, who was already married, broke up with Winona Ryder. This is simply too dangerous, and it is better to be careful!

So Carl pays attention to Hollywood gossip news when he has nothing to do, and because he has been in this circle before, he also communicates with many colleagues.In terms of gossip ability, he is still better than Andrea in some respects.

"...Tell me." Margaret felt that her assistants were absolutely poisonous. One or two of them were very well-informed, and they both liked gossip.

"Actually, the heroine of this film was originally determined to be Uma Thurman, but a little accident happened later, which led to the failure of the trip in the end." Carl didn't care about Margaret's weirdness at all. With small eyes, he explained to her the love and hatred behind the movie.

"You know Uma Thurman's husband?" Carl asked her.

"Uh, Gary Oldman?" Margaret said weakly.What does the dog father have to do with this matter?

Carl raised his forehead, "How many years ago have you been in this network? They have been separated for almost ten years, okay?"

How indifferent is this lady to Hollywood news!At the beginning, this "gentleman" from the UK even said, "Try to sleep with an angel?" How could you not know about such a famous thing?

"..." She was only nine years old ten years ago, okay?At that time, she didn't plan to go to Hollywood. Her plan was to win the Nobel Prize!Who cares so boringly about Hollywood permutations?As for the dog dad, it was because she had heard gossip from watching the "Harry Potter" series before, and she always thought that Uma Thurman's predecessor was the dog dad, and her successor was the ruffian Quentin!

"So who is her husband now?" Margaret asked, looking at Carl's eyes that hated iron and steel, but still couldn't resist the other party's pressure.

"Ethan Hawke, he's always hated Quentin Tarantino since Uma Thurman was in Pulp Fiction," Carr said.

Oh oh oh, this man, Margaret still remembers that he was the popular candidate for Louis back then, but was rejected by Lilian later.This guy seems to be a typical literary man, and Margaret has never seen any of his movies.

"He always felt that Quentin Tarantino was cheating on his wife, and his wife liked talented people, so he always opposed Uma Thurman's acceptance of this movie. And this lady happened to be pregnant recently, Huo Ke directly made a request, either rejecting the movie and having a baby, or the two of them divorced and she went to make the movie. You know the final result." Calkop finished his gossip and poured himself a glass of water.
