She dominates the entertainment industry with her disaster system

Martin Kubrick is a very famous director, and even in Hollywood, which is full of talented people, he is considered a well-known director with a superior status.

As far as she knew, he had seldom come to Europe to attend the European Three Film Festivals in recent years, and he had almost never attended award ceremonies, regardless of whether he was nominated or not - except for this Venice Film Festival.

"Game Hunter" was shortlisted for the main competition unit, which sounds like a reason for him to attend the closing ceremony, but as early as ten years ago, Martin Kubrick won the Golden Lion Award, the highest award at the Venice Film Festival, with "Hello Tomorrow", and even won the Palme d'Or and Palme d'Silver at Cannes.

So, what is so special about this Venice Film Festival that attracted this great director to come in person?

Su Lingxi was thinking casually, and when she looked up, she saw Greta's gentle smile.

Compared to those strangers whose purpose is mysterious and who only know how to flatter, Su Lingxi prefers to deal with acquaintances like Greta Mirren - even though the two of them have only met two or three times and cannot be said to be very familiar with each other, but she knows in her heart that they are very similar people and it is inevitable that they will have a sense of mutual appreciation.

"Nicole, long time no see. You seem very busy tonight?" Greta's attitude was still as normal as before, which made Su Lingxi unconsciously breathe a sigh of relief.

"As you can see, I feel like the corners of my mouth are so stiff that I'm about to lose feeling." Su Lingxi handed her a glass of wine with a smile, and her eyes naturally moved to the person next to her, "If I'm not mistaken... is this Mr. Kubrick?"

Compared to Greta, Kubrick's expression was more indifferent. He only raised the corners of his lips slightly and said, "Martin Kubrick."

It can be seen that he is more accustomed to maintaining a serious expression in front of people he is not familiar with.

"Martin, she's the girl I mentioned to you before. Seriously, you should go see her award-winning new film. I guarantee that her performance is totally worth the money..."

Greta's voice was light and joyful, and her appreciation was evident in her words.

Su Lingxi didn't think that she was a person who liked to do useless work: the reason why he chose to introduce Martin Kubrick to her in a direct manner at this time was most likely because there was news about his rumored new film.

As early as the first half of this year, Su Lingxi had heard related rumors, but three months had passed and Martin Kubrick hadn't revealed even the name of the project, so she gave up the idea.

I didn't expect that this project will be active again now.

"Well, not bad, she has very good looks. Although I haven't seen her performance yet, I think the girl you praised has good basic conditions in all aspects."

Su Lingxi looked at Martin Kubrick's indifferent expression when he answered, and suddenly an idea flashed in his mind.

Whether Kubrick's new film is made or not, she now has a brilliant new idea that can truly make the most of it.

……

"Honestly, Sigourney, I understand why you called me." Li Shuo smiled and turned off the TV, then changed to a more comfortable sitting position on the sofa. "Admittedly, Nicole performed very well in the audition, but don't you want to seize the opportunity to find a better partner?"

"You and I both know that Nicole's performance is good, but she is not irreplaceable. Now there is still nearly a year before the filming starts, why don't we work hard to make this movie have more possibilities?"

His voice was gentle as usual, but Sigourney sensed a hint of cunning.

"Dear Lee, if you keep thinking this way about Nicole, isn't that a bit unfair?" Sigourney smiled on the other end of the phone, with a slightly mocking tone, "In order to avoid the big news that the director is not well-informed and the film cannot be shot, I must remind you of one thing: those parasite-like paparazzi have already spread the news that Martin Kubrick is looking for a heroine for his new film, and Nicole is one of the candidates he is considering."

"Old Martin? That's impossible." Li Shuo immediately shook his head. "He has never let an Asian actor play the absolute leading role in a movie."

"The world is changing so fast now, and Martin is not a stubborn old-fashioned person. Maybe his ideas have changed a long time ago." Sigourney paused and continued, "Let me remind you again, the new film Martin is going to shoot is a biographical crime theme that he has always been best at. The specific story outline is not clear at the moment, but you know how popular he is in the circle - no one has ever been able to refuse the olive branch extended by Martin."

Thinking of Martin Kubrick's undefeated golden resume, Li Shuo hesitated and fell silent.

Nominally, Kubrick was a student of one of the "Four Masters of New Hollywood", but in fact he was less than ten years older than them. If you think carefully, his fame, awards record and box office performance were almost the same as those of these four people, so people in the film industry often jokingly call Kubrick the "Fifth Master" on par with the "Four Masters of New Hollywood".

It is precisely because of his extraordinary status in Hollywood and the fact that he directed one masterpiece after another that Kubrick, as a director who mainly makes commercial films, is highly sought after at various international film festivals.

Even Li Shuo himself, when he met Martin Kubrick, would respectfully call him "senior".

Even though he was confident in his filming skills and did not think that art films were inferior to commercial films, who was Martin Kubrick? He was one of the symbols of the era of Hollywood blockbusters. As long as this name was mentioned, people from all over the country would immediately think of those action blockbusters that set box office records.

In terms of commercial value, there is no comparison between the two of them; in terms of international fame, Kubrick is far more famous than him; in terms of professional level, art films and commercial films are on different tracks and have different requirements for shooting techniques, so they cannot be compared.

Sigourney didn't need to say more, Li Shuo knew it in his heart - if the news from the paparazzi was true, then things might be really bad.

"As far as I know, Nicole is also very positive in contacting Martin." Sigourney saw the situation clearly and took the opportunity to add fuel to the fire, "Lee, the best way now is to upgrade the contract - I don't want to go through the live audition that day again. You don't know how hard it is to watch those wooden guys acting!"

"Calm down, okay? Things are not irreversible yet." Li Shuo sighed, "I understand what you mean. I will consider this suggestion carefully."
