unofficial hollywood life

George Lucas's Skywalker Farm is famous in Hollywood, because this gentleman not only firmly engraved the surname of his movie actor on the farm, but also moved his own Lucasfilm to this farm Among them, it has become a beautiful landscape in Hollywood.

But the problem is that Tom doesn't think Diana will like this style. Even the house the two of them live in now is not the super luxurious and spacious manor type. She prefers the one that is more private and secure. residence, so is she trying to run the farm as a business?

It would be nice if this is the case, as Diana said, sometimes the industry is actually more reliable than the Internet.At least during the economic crisis, industries with entities can still be sold at a certain price, while the Internet industry with only a bunch of codes is even more miserable.Looking at the current market situation, you can see that the value of those high-tech companies has plunged one by one, and the direct bubble bursts appear one after another, making the entire American investment community panic.

And Tom himself is actually a rather old-fashioned person. This kind of old-school is not only reflected in his daily life and thoughts, but also in his behavior.

Just like now, Diana put forward the idea of ​​buying a farm and gradually transferring the property to the industrial side in the future, and he totally agrees with it.

So the two quickly decided to find a satisfactory farm in a suitable place, preferably in the Greater Los Angeles area of ​​California, so that it would be convenient for them to take care of the farm, and they could also go there to relax.

But obviously, buying a farm is not an easy task, because there are too many things to consider.For example, the real estate prices in California are relatively high due to the gathering of a lot of celebrities, and not every farm meets the requirements of two people, so this matter was directly thrown to Mr. Broker. The two men who wanted to buy the farm had already flown across the Pacific after losing William and Agatha to their grandfather.

By the way, this thing has been dragged down because of all kinds of messy things.

"Yes, I'm sure, we have to modify some scenes in the movie and postpone the movie." Diana walked around the office with her phone in her hand.

She's talking to "Spider-Man" director Sam Raimi.

After the September 911 incident, the poor director was turned away by the martial law in the United States because he went abroad for vacation. Now he can only communicate by phone.

"Don't worry, Sam, I've already communicated with Universal. It's just that the Christmas movie is postponed to next year's summer. It's not going to be good, the audience is in a state of grief, you can't expect them to walk into a theater and contribute to a popcorn movie, it's not a family movie..." she said helplessly.

When the script was written, she saw the part about Spider-Man climbing on top of the Twin Towers. She originally wanted to object, but after much deliberation, she really had no position to object. Could she still tell the director about this? This part of the plot will definitely be cut off in the future, because the two buildings have already been knocked down when the movie is released. Will it stimulate the sensitive hearts of the American people?

For other reasons, how can climbing the Empire State Building be as shocking as climbing the Twin Towers, the label of the United States in the world?That's the World Trade Center!There is no director who doesn't want to play tricks on this, especially a superhero like Spider-Man who uses spider silk as a weapon. Just think about how exciting he is in the middle of the Twin Towers spraying out spider silk from his hands, okay?

God knows that the screenwriters are already discussing that this shot will shock the entire American people. There is no way to make this shot disappear without enough reasons.And for Peter Parker, who was born and raised in New York, it was impossible for him to go to other countries and cities to wander around, so Diana could only grit her teeth and watch this bridge pass.

Originally, I thought that the film could be released in this summer, so that the film would not have to cut this scene, but I didn’t expect that the later stage could not guarantee the time, and Universal could only postpone the schedule to the Christmas file.

As a result, as soon as the schedule came out, Diana knew that the film was out of action this year.

The September 911 incident just happened, and the people of the United States have fallen into a kind of heavy sadness. How many people will go to the movie theater to watch movies?In just three days, American theaters ushered in the coldest period in history. Almost none of the films released during this period had a good result.

Especially those action movies about violence and gun battles, one death is worse than the other, and those who survived have postponed their schedule for at least half a year, just to avoid this death schedule.

Except for a few family-friendly movies, even the Christmas file, which was crowded in previous years, is quite deserted this year.

So let's honestly change the schedule of "Spider-Man". Even if the post-production can be done in time, don't toss about the Christmas file.What's more, there is also a "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" directly produced by Universal in this schedule. When the two meet, the former's theme really does not have any advantage.

What the people need now is healing, and it will be the time when superheroes who can ignite the flames of war among the people will sweep away after everyone has recovered a bit next year.

Thinking of this, Diana couldn't help but twitched the corners of her mouth, fully feeling the difference between directors and directors."X-Men", which started preparations at about the same time, was released last year, and it also returned a sum of money for the company, while "Spider-Man" was originally planned to be released at the end of this year, but now it has been delayed until next year. There was a two-year gap between them, so people didn't know what to say.

Of course, the director alone cannot be blamed for this situation. Sam Raimi can only say that the Marvel Creative Committee, which is extremely procrastinating, is the biggest culprit. The script of "Spider-Man" is comparable to that of "X-War" "Police" is much later, and it is normal for the release time to be delayed.

"Sigh, a world without magic prophecy is more troublesome!" Diana sighed.

After such a toss, another sum of money was evaporated, which is heartbreaking!

Fortunately, when the loan was taken from the bank, the repayment time of the loan was relatively long, otherwise, she would have to fill the hole immediately by herself, and finally Diana did not vomit blood too much.

After all, it is acceptable to lose a little money compared to being placed on the operating table for slicing.Moreover, the partner, Universal, also suffered a loss. The publicity expenses were spent, but because of the relationship between a certain lens and the current market, the ticket was canceled again. It is estimated that Lang Meyer is also in a state of distress.

However, considering that Universal itself is the major shareholder, Diana sighed again, not worrying!Fortunately, Universal has other shareholders to share this miserable life, otherwise, she would probably die of depression!

Generally speaking, although this incident caused some losses, the losses were not large and could still be tolerated, so after it was resolved, Diana quickly devoted herself to other work, one was "The Lonely One" The production of Gourmet, and the other is to make an episode recording for a movie, that "Simone" starring Oscar-winning actor Al Pacino.

A film about virtual actors.

The director of the film, Andrew Nickell, wanted her to play the leading role at the beginning.

"Anyway, the heroine of this movie doesn't have many roles, and most of the time it's just a pose. You don't have to ask him anything when you come to play." Andrew said with a sincere face.

This director has cooperated with May Kefei several times before, but they are all as screenwriters. Both "Gait Shot" and "The Truman Show" are his works. Now this screenwriter wants to direct a film by himself. The work, of course, also chose May Kefei, who has been working happily together.By the way, he also has his eye on Diana, the company's big boss.

The reason is very simple. His movie is about how virtual actors deceive the world. There is no place for the heroine to show off her acting skills. Basically, she poses in various poses to highlight the beautiful plot. There is no plot of inner struggle, and she only relies on her face to maintain her sense of existence. Meimeimei is the only thing she needs to do

In this kind of role, any actress can enter the role without any obstacles. In fact, she is no different from taking pictures in magazines, even a novice can do it.

The only problem is that the heroine is a great beauty in the setting of the movie, "Jane Fonda's voice when she was young, Sophia Loren's figure, Grace Kelly's elegance, Audrey Hepburn's combination with an angel Face." This is the adjective written by Andrew for the heroine.

After I finished writing, I regretted that my writing was too exaggerated. If I really followed this requirement to find an actor, I would never find a suitable candidate!

If you can find a singer to sing the songs in the movie, what about your appearance?Andrew once thought about finding a beautiful enough model to play the heroine. Anyway, girls in this profession have that kind of coldness, which fits the heroine's character setting—a virtual person.But when he searched through all the information at hand, he found that although there were many beautiful girls, none of them were so beautiful that people could be amazed.

This troubled the poor gentleman for a long time, until his companion reminded him, "Is there anyone better than our boss to find a beautiful vase? Don't forget "Mission: Impossible 3" Those amazing pictures of her inside!

One sentence provided enough inspiration for Andrew, and the director rushed to the boss's office with a look of excitement—the kind where no one exists.

Later, I contacted the big boss through the company's operating officer, hoping that Diana could play the heroine of the movie.

It's a pity that Ms. Morgan has no interest in starring in movies other than her husband's. If a character who dies on the scene can still make a cameo appearance for the sake of her company's production, but the heroine who has played for more than 10 minutes?What are you kidding?no way!

Diana resolutely rejected Andrew's proposal, and even Al Pacino himself did not change her mind.

Oh, by the way, this Mr. actor from Italy has a very good relationship with Diana, the kind that they can usually attend family gatherings with each other.

The Italian Gang is a very energetic group in Hollywood, and they are willing to absorb every potential person with Italian descent.Not to mention those who have been half-retired for too long, the members who are still active now include Martin Scorsese, Francis Coppola, Robert De Niro, Stallone, Al Pacey Nuo, Madonna and other influential big names, Quentin Tarantino and Leonardo DiCaprio who have been more active in recent years are all in this category.

Of course, Diana, who has fairly strong Italian ancestry, will not be let go. Even because of her status as a producer, she still has a lot of status in this circle.

I also met Al Pacino in this kind of circle gathering, and the relationship between the two is much better than that between her and Coppola—this narrow-minded Mr. director is very displeased with seeing her dear, Diana Of course, his impression was not very good.Just rejected a movie invitation, kicked him out of the movie promotion, and kept silent from then on, can you still have a bit of a director's heart?Her family's Tom has always praised the director in front of the media. Compared with him, he is not too small!

However, in such things as circles, there are those who are close and those who are not. Tom still has friends and enemies in the Irish gang, let alone her.In addition to the mediocre relationship with director Coppola, Diana has a good relationship with others. In recent years, she has made some efforts to support Italians. Many Italian actors have come to Hollywood. The development starts from the movies produced by her company.

As for Al Pacino, the good relationship between the two people is not only the relationship between the Italian gang, but also their mutual friend Winona Ryder.

The former movie queen who was married at the beginning of the year agreed to make a guest appearance in his movie for this old friend, which led to Diana being embarrassed to refuse to be the singer of the movie episode even after she refused to play the leading actress in the movie—— The success of "The Fifth Element" once again caused her to be regretted by many people, and this time it was replaced by the music industry.

Everyone sighed why this girl gave up her strong musical talent and didn't hang out in the music industry, but went to the movie industry to waste her life, causing the music industry to lose another genius.

Regardless of the amount of water in these people's words, Diana did receive a lot of movie episode invitations after that, including "Pearl Harbor", which was a "blockbuster" that was favored before it was released. .

It's just that Ms. Morgan really doesn't have that much love for music. Letting her sing one or two songs that interest her can be regarded as a usual entertainment. An afternoon of patience.So so far, only two movies including "The Fifth Element" and "Pearl Harbor" have included this lady's singing voice, and now, "Simone" has become the third one.

"Let's hope it's not a bad trance," Diana muttered to herself before entering the studio.

Because the song she is about to sing is very good in every aspect. Even if it is not a classic, it is sweet enough, and it is easy to sing, and has the potential to be a big hit.This reminded her of the song There You'll Be (the theme song of "Pearl Harbor") some time ago, and she couldn't help shivering.

No matter how badly the movie was criticized, the song became popular.Even because of the meaning and sadness of the lyrics, it was widely sung after 911/2001, and now it has become a hit song in [-]. Her singer has also become famous because of this incident, so she doesn't even know what to do. Say what.

Every time she is not famous because of herself, either her dear wife, or the singer of the theme song of "Pearl Harbor", but no one remembers that she is a successful producer. This situation is also dumbfounding .

And this "Simone", although she hadn't seen the movie before, but now she has read the script!Judging from the content of the script, this does not look like a movie that can sell well anyway. It is considered good if the box office can barely recover the cost. The rest may be achieved by various offline copyrights and videotape rentals. profit.And the content of the movie will undoubtedly make the film critics vigorously criticize the movie and directly label it as a bad movie.

"So I've become attached to bad movies?" Diana rubbed her chin and complained in her heart.

Although "The Fifth Element" is a very successful commercial film, it is not an excellent work in the eyes of film critics. It is directly classified as popcorn, and it is still evaluated as ordinary popcorn, let alone "Pearl Harbor" , which directly caused the salary of one of the male protagonists to drop and drop, the future is bleak, and it is only through the director's career that it can be rejuvenated.The other male lead bid farewell to commercial masterpieces and became a literary cafe, and was finally scooped up to act in a TV series.

"Shouldn't I be called the queen of 'bad movies' in the future?" Diana rubbed her arms, feeling goosebumps.

The prospects are not good.

But is she the type to back down when encountering difficulties?Ms. Morgan, who has always been tough, said that it doesn't matter if she is called the queen of "bad movies". She is neither a singer nor an actress, so she is afraid of wool!

Besides, her producer business is doing very well, so far she hasn't tasted a failure, and the industry can be regarded as a gold medal producer, so it doesn't matter~

Diana, who was relaxed and free from behavior, quickly recorded the music for the movie, left the recording studio, and focused on other work.

"The Lonely Gourmet" is filming, and she has to do a cameo role.

That's right, it's the ex-wife who hung up the hero as bait!

In view of the fact that the protagonist of this film is her father, and her mother joined in the fun in it again, and the good response of "Mission: Impossible 3", so this time Diana still did her part to become the one who only appeared for a few minutes. ex-wife Ms.

Let the audience who watched this movie get hooked.

Especially the fans of Mr. Cruise, have already made this matter into a meme, and even pulled up a banner at the door of the brokerage company to ask Diana to continue to play his ex-wife in the movie in the future series-no The compound kind.

It also stunned a bunch of Hollywood elites.

The agreed-upon husband-and-wife movie is not popular in North America?This situation is too unscientific, right?

"It's actually very scientific. A single Tom is a good Tom. The wishes that cannot be fulfilled in reality are all realized in the movie, and the heroine is a fringe type. Is there any behavior that favors fans more than this?" Bu Ryan snapped the newspaper shut, rolled his eyes and said.

Having been Tom's manager for so many years, he knew the situation well enough.Diana's situation is still good. Mimi Rogers was a miserable one back then. She was dissed by fans. The divorce can be regarded as a relief.

Now that fans don't hate Diana, they love her so much, it's just another way of hoping Tom is single.

"So? I'm going to follow this path and become the forever wife in Tom's movie, the one with a bad ending?" Diana was also speechless.

This is the second time, how much resentment do these people have?How boring is it to arrange boyfriends and cheating partners for her husband every day in newspapers and magazines, and now it has extended to life and movies?

"Anyway, how miserable you are in the movie is how beautiful it is in reality, and it doesn't matter if you make a cameo. Didn't you find that as long as you appear in the same movie, the box office of the movie will be very good? This is completely in line with Hollywood reality. It would be a waste if the opposite trend is not well utilized!" Kevin, who was also sitting on the side drinking afternoon tea, looked indifferent.

This couple is definitely an outlier in Hollywood, and other couples appearing in the same movie will not do the box office any good, such as "Shut Eyes" starring Alec Baldwin and Kim Basinger, This film directed by the great director Kubrick suffered from Waterloo after it was released. Without the blessing of Mr. Cruise, the American sweetheart, the box office of this film was simply terrible, and it could be called a disaster!

Because the film's box office failure not only made Kubrick's level questioned, but also made the pair of Alec Baldwin and Kim Basinger, who spent more than two years on this film Break up directly.

The author has something to say:

In fact, when you watch old movies, you will find that many stalkers have played decades ago, such as "It Happened One Night", "Dream of Mandarin", "Jin Yumeng" and the like, which simply provide the general public with many Inspiration, but the current screenwriter knows whether to make a remake, remake a remake, or shoot one and destroy the other (￣_￣|||)

**The one after the movie, eating eggs and drinking milk is the exploitation of female animals, why not say that eating meat is the exploitation of male animals, this is going crazy, right==

The film "Simone" is really all kinds of spicy satire. It's like taking everyone's faces off and putting them on the ground. But I really like this film. Some of the scenes in it are really funny, and the episodes are also good. The song (YouMakeMeFeelLikeA) Natural Woman, sung by MaryJ.Blige, has a super feeling, and makes people unconsciously want to shake along with it, and when I talk about this resonant song, I can't help but think of AnotherOestheDust, and I just shake my feet Divine Comedy, like Dickon who sings out of tune←_←

Alec Baldwin and Kim Basinger... The director chose the latter between this couple and Tom and Nicole, and then the couple who acted in the movie left in 2001, and the former also left in 2002
