atypical hollywood life

"I'm serious, Luke's a good cook compared to Skarsgard. And I remember you said that he is very researched in fighting skills, he is a very good boxer, a man A friend can be a cook, a boxer, and a bed warmer, so much value for money.” Scarlett swallowed the last mouthful of mushroom soup, patted her stomach in satisfaction, and looked at Luke’s beef stew. With higher expectations.

"..." Margaret felt that what Scarlett said was so good that she couldn't refute it.

But boxing buddies?She started complaining again.

"I haven't had a serious fight with anyone for a long time..." I didn't understand why the opponent always gave way to her when I punched Luke, and it was only when she kicked Luke that no opponent hit her. when.At that time, I thought that the two of them were too familiar, and Luke was too embarrassed to make trouble with the weird gentlemanly demeanor. It was only later that he realized that he had already had something wrong with him since then!

Thinking of this, Margaret feels very depressed. Really, where can she find a boxing partner who can enjoy boxing?But if boxing friends become boyfriends, she still makes money, right?She thought uncertainly.

Luke, who had been leaning against the door and listening to the corner silently, felt that it was time to show his girlfriend the essence of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and the use of lock techniques.That's the decision, let's start when she recovers from her cold!

"Then you have nothing to do this summer vacation?" After lunch, Margaret and Scarlett leaned on the sofa and ate fruit while watching TV.

Luke had things to do in the afternoon and left after lunch.Besides, he still winked very much, and didn't disturb the relationship between the girlfriends who reunited after a long absence.Hey, why does this sentence sound so awkward?Knocking his head, Luke felt that the longer he spent with Margaret, the bigger his brain and the crooked his way of thinking became.

He and Margaret reunited after a long absence. Although it is not as good as Scarlett, who has known each other since childhood, the two have known each other for more than seven years including the time they have been online... Wait, is it seven years? itch?Luke felt as if he had thought of something terrible, and suddenly became nervous.

Shouldn't it?He remembered that a few days ago Margaret asked him with a serious face if he asked her to date her for the purpose of getting married. The two had only just started, and it wasn't a seven-year itch!Don't scare yourself!

Well, go ahead and bring a bouquet of tulips with you when you go home at night. Sending flowers to your girlfriend is a romantic expression. Margaret is very happy every time she receives flowers... Luke thought while waiting for the traffic lights.Fortunately, the time for the traffic light is not long, otherwise he would probably have imagined the flowers on the wedding, and his brain hole is really big enough!

"No, I'm going to join a new crew next month. Mike's new work, "Stealing Heart", I played a, um, how should I put it, a very rebellious girl in Mike's new work." Scarlett scratched Q's chin, getting a string of comfortable grunts.

What she was talking about was Mike Nichols, a Jewish director who had worked with the stage play before. He once won the Oscar for Best Director for the film "The Graduate". Skill.I also considered this director in "The Aviator" before, but it's still the same sentence, the right person does not necessarily have the time or the will.Nichols is a thoughtful artist who has too many demands on the film. There are too many and complicated forces behind the film "The Aviator", and there are many troubles. He may not be able to get the final editing rights. I wanted to prepare my own new movie, so I missed "The Aviator".

Scarlett will fly to London to shoot the director's new work in August.

""Stealing Heart"?" Margaret thought the name was quite interesting, and it sounded like an emotional drama.

"Yeah, 'Stealing Heart', the chaotic emotional state between the four people. You know Mike, he is very good at tapping the potential of actors. I have worked with him in dramas before, and I feel deeply about this. But drama is still different from film, it is another way of expression. I think acting in this film will be very helpful for my next work, so I went when I received the invitation to audition. Then you will also Understood." Scarlett rubbed Q's stomach, which was stuffed with food, and secretly squeezed the pads on his paws, feeling extremely satisfied.

"By the way, I also met Natalie Portman during the audition. She has changed her agent in the past few years, and she is quite skillful. She has received many independent films. This time, she was also hired by her agent. People are stuffed into the audition list. But Mike's character...he doesn't like this kind of behavior. The audition candidates for "Stealing Heart" are all hand-picked by him, and this time Portman's agent bypassed him and went straight to the producer He was very upset by the ways of people. So she lost the election in the end." Satisfying her weird cat slave mentality, Scarlett suddenly remembered this and told Margaret.

Mike is one of the rare directors who is very determined and doesn't like to compromise. You can tell by the number of auditions. Every audition candidate is sent out after careful consideration. How could he accept such an outsider?No matter how good her acting skills are, what's more, Natalie Portman's acting skills have not yet reached the point of conquering him.So in the end, tragedy is inevitable.

"Natalie Portman's new agent? I remember her agent isn't her mother?" Margaret wondered.

She remembered that it was her mother who handled the behind-the-scenes incidents for her, and now she has changed?

"Her mother is still an outsider after all, and she is still a person who puts more energy on the family. It is said to be an agent, but in fact, the only client in her hands is Natalie Portman. She Usually the most important job is to filter those scripts and discuss with the crew about Portman's treatment in the crew. She has no strength in the competition for resources. In order to make Portman's acting career easier, she just It's good to be able to abdicate for Xian. But now she has become her daughter's manager, which is pretty good." Scarlett sighed as she spoke.

Both her parents had new families, and as time went on, they also had new brothers and sisters.Sometimes she is quite envious of Natalie Portman, at least her family is complete, and her mother also puts her energy on her.This is far beyond her reach.

Melanie Sloan resigned from Scarlett's agent position due to physical reasons when she was pregnant. After giving birth to her and Giovanni Jaeger's children, she put more and more energy on on the current family.

Of course, it can't be said that she doesn't care about her daughter, but after all, Scarlett is already a college student and has enough self-care ability, while her youngest son is still a baby and needs more care.In addition, her daughter is away all the year round, not by her side, so in comparison, she is indeed not as concerned about Scarlett as she is about her youngest son.

This is also one of Scarlett's regrets. Although she can understand it, she still feels uncomfortable after all.

"Hey, if you put it that way, Natalie Portman's recent development is indeed much better than before." Margaret tilted her head and thought for a while.

Although this lady has been in college for the past two years, she has not disappeared in front of people, and she always shows her presence from time to time.Last year, two independent productions starring her were released. Although the box office was average, they made a big step forward.Coupled with the fact that she has been constantly speculating on character designs in recent years, it has eliminated a lot of the influence left over from the original "Killer Leon" and the framing incident.

After all, Hollywood is a place of forgetfulness. As long as the time is long enough, the things done will not be condemned by the people of the whole country. It is not difficult to make a comeback.

Look at Angelina Jolie, who used to take drugs to suck herself like that, and then tossed out a bunch of scandals and scandals, isn't she still cleansed up smoothly now?It seems that she recently became an ambassador to the United Nations?Margaret thought thoughtfully.

It's like Lei Shidong and Tom, even though they have torn their faces to that point, they finally came together again for the common benefit.Here, morality and the bottom line have always been the same luxury, not only expensive, but also very vague.

"So what? If you take a wrong step, you have to walk more roads to get back on the right track. Hollywood is not a toy, and she can play with it as she pleases. Up to now, she has been left behind by many people." Scarlett Said indifferently.

The United States is different from Europe. The highly acclaimed "Killer Leon" in the United States encountered not only the cold reception at the box office and the condemnation of the society, but also a series of sequelae.

These may not be obvious in Luc Besson and Jean Reno, because after all, their base camp is in France rather than Hollywood.But it’s different for Natalie Portman who lives in the United States, just like Dominique Swain who played Lolita at the beginning. In the independent production of the cost, there is almost no chance of winning.

Movies like "Lolita" are basically evil movies where whoever touches them dies.Natalie Portman should be thankful that she has a smart head and rejected the invitation for this movie, otherwise, she must be in a much worse situation than Dominique Swann now.

But even so, because of the various sequelae at the beginning, she is now considered to be the kind whose starlight is relatively dim.

"Anne Hathaway, Kirsten Dunst, Reese Witherspoon, Jessica Biel ... including myself, have left her behind. There are only so many resources, people But there are quite a few, how many remaining resources do you think can be left for her?" Scarlett sneered at Natalie Portman.

A typical representative of vision over ability.She was too arrogant, thinking that she was smart enough, pretty enough, and born Jewish in Jerusalem to make her way in Hollywood.But in reality she was never the only option.

There are so many Jews in Hollywood, and those Jewish bosses are not fools, who would be easily fooled by her?See what Anne Hathaway does?Looking at the resources this girl has now, looking back, I know that when an actor is starting out, it is better not to be too clever and play tricks.Some things have different results at different times, she is too impatient.

Portman is very smart, but just too smart, so he stumbled on this.

"..." Margaret was speechless, did you forget to mention someone?

"Oh, you, you are no longer in this ranks. According to the current statement, everyone is waiting for when you will be sealed for the second time and become a legend, although your own experience is already legendary enough." See clearly Seeing Margaret's small eyes, Scarlett shrugged and said.
