Birth of an actor

The filming has ended, but William and Claire Forlani are still standing still in costumes, which has attracted a lot of people's attention-God, their heads are still printed on the covers of countless weekly gossip magazines , It is a person who talks about countless people in the streets and alleys! ——And now that Claire Forlani had a hurt expression on her face again, almost immediately, half of the people in the studio turned their heads.Although director Martin Brest has repeatedly and sternly stated that it is not allowed to talk about newspaper news during work, especially entertainment news on the gossip tabloids, but gossip is human nature, and no one can really hold back.

At this time, a burst of food aroma happened to come from a distance, Danny Byrne breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately went to the crowd to greet loudly: "Hey, guys, the takeaway is here! You can choose coffee or tea, sweet Everyone has a share of circles and pizza, and Will will give everyone extra meals!"

People looked away from William and Claire Forlani knowingly: "Ha, I just happened to be hungry."

"You are so generous, Will."

“Which store made the donuts, they are delicious!”

"Hey bastard, you eat mine!"

"I still need to read the script, let's go first." William greeted casually and was about to return to his trailer.

Danny Bourne quickly followed his pace: "Hey Will, you seem to be out of tune with Claire, and it will never end well when you meet a woman with this name."

William's ex-girlfriend, another Claire, a cheerleader at Santa Monica High School, gave William his first slap by a woman when they broke up, and now this Claire, the heroine of William's co-starring film, has made everyone in the United States The paparazzi stared at him like a fly smelling fish.

"Maybe you're right." William said, "It's really a bit evil, isn't it? Obviously I haven't really done anything bad, but in their eyes, I'm probably almost a bad man."

"Bad man, you?!" Danny Bourne said bitterly: "Will, please, are you playing with their feelings or cheating them? It's because they are too greedy and want too much, and as a result Is it your fault you screwed up the whole thing?"

Danny Bourne’s words made William feel a little comforted, but it didn’t comfort him too much. After returning to his trailer, William stared at the script for 10 minutes, but found that he was always staring at the same line on the same page. Sighing slightly, William thought: Maybe director Martin's private criticism of him after discovering his affair with Claire Forlani was correct, because he wanted to make the movie well and devoted himself to the character's emotions. , There is nothing wrong with this, but William shouldn't be acting indistinguishable from reality, and bring Joe Black's love into real life-just like he once did in the "Gait Shot" crew.

……

Danny Bourne walked into the trailer holding a box of donuts that he had worked so hard to snatch from those greedy ghosts. When he found that William had kept the script open and covered his face, After sitting motionless on the sofa for 10 minutes, he lightly placed the donuts on the cooking table beside him, then quietly got out of the car and closed the door behind him.

If you want to say who knows the most about William’s recent love life other than the parties involved, it is undoubtedly Danny Byrne. Thinking of what happened in the past month, Danny Byrne wants to sigh, maybe there is another sentence Feeling: "How come none of the women Will meets can achieve a positive result? Is his relationship with the opposite sex really that bad?"

Since the filming of "Meet Joe Black" started, anyone with a discerning eye in the crew can see that the heroine Claire Forlani has fully integrated into the role of Susan, and she can't tell whether she is on-screen or off-screen. She was deeply attracted by William Bradley both inside and outside the film. As long as William was on the set but not filming, she would always walk over to chat with her, whether it was a smile or body movements. Very ambiguous.

And Danny Byrne, who is a personal assistant, can also clearly feel it. Although Claire Forlani is beautiful, William really has no feelings for her at the beginning. The two chatted mostly to discuss the script, until As the filming progresses, William's character seems to be more and more influenced by Joe Black - it's not the first time that Danny Bowen has discovered this phenomenon, he thinks William is probably a more experiential actor ——William's eyes began to stay on Claire Forlani for longer and longer. Sometimes, that kind of gaze made it impossible for Danny Bowen to tell whether it was William looking at Claire Forlani, or Joe Black watching Claire Forlani.

Danny Bourne once had an argument with Amon Goffman on this matter, and the two people who often disagreed had different ideas this time. Amon Goffman thought that the situation of the Williams being indistinguishable was a bit serious, If Danny Bourne should immediately remind William not to get too involved, he will contact a famous psychologist for William in Los Angeles in advance, and start psychological counseling immediately after William returns. Amon Goffman also talked to Danny Bourne in particular. Emphasize that "most A-list actors will go to see a psychologist after filming a movie, especially those who are easily influenced by their roles, but they never tell the public."

And Danny Bourne thinks that William's situation is far less serious than what Amon Goffman said. May I ask which character can be successfully portrayed without the full dedication of the actor?If William plays any role like himself, he will probably never have an Oscar.

Besides, it would be too bad if Danny Byrne hastily reminded William, causing him to lose his current excellent performance.Also, Claire Forlani is a single British beauty, and William is also a single Hollywood heartthrob. Isn't it a good story for the two to fall in love through drama?

Therefore, when William and Claire Forlani began to try to go out alone on a date on their rest day, Danny Byrne not only did not object to not inform Amon Goffman, but even enthusiastically gave suggestions on the date.

"Although Amon Goffman is Will's manager, he has to respect Will's freedom of love. Danny Bourne thought at the time, "Will has been single before, and even I was almost worried if there was something wrong with him. Now that he has finally had an affair, I will never allow Goffman to disturb him." ! '

It has to be said that although Danny Byrne is not mature and comprehensive in his consideration of the issue, his original intention is to be good for William. Kill any chance of William dating Claire Forlani-

On their third date, William and Claire Forlani had just walked out of the restaurant when they were blocked by the swarming media. Reporters with cameras and microphones squeezed in front of them desperately, asking The volume of the question of whether the two are dating is so harsh that it can directly pierce a person's eardrum.

William was completely caught off guard by the media that suddenly fell from the sky. He was so surprised that his first reaction was to leave the scene quickly, and he did.

But the next day, the photo of William and Claire Forlani leaving the door of a high-end restaurant together appeared on the covers of almost all American gossip magazines, and William and Claire Forlani appeared in newspapers together with the photo The news that was made out of a fake show because of a fake show—William’s PR team completely passively accepted the news because they didn’t know about it in advance, and before they could quickly and effectively come up with a countermeasure, they were omnipotent American gossip tabloids made the incident further fermented!

The reason was that a girl who claimed to be William's ex-girlfriend found "U.S. Weekly" and was interviewed by a reporter, and she excitedly denounced Claire Forlani: "She looks like a fox, and she is five years older than Will. How could Will Really in love with her! They're definitely not officially dating, absolutely not!"

The reporter asked, "So do you know what type of woman Will likes?"

"Of course!" said the girl who claimed to be "William Bradley's ex-girlfriend", "He likes blonde hair, blue eyes, and a pair of big breasts!" With G breasts, he deliberately shook his head to show off the golden mid-length hair that was too pure and suspicious: "Like me!"

"U.S. Weekly" is not a media with integrity. In fact, like "The Onion News", "Hollywood News", "National Enquirer" and other gossip tabloids, they gain sales by exposing the private lives of celebrities, so even if " "Will's ex-girlfriend" couldn't prove that she had a relationship with the new Hollywood heartthrob, and "Us Weekly" still published the report, just because they found that no media had ever dug up William. Bradley's past love life, they are considered to be the first, and this issue of the magazine is bound to be a hit.

"U.S. Weekly" thought well. The birth of "William's Ex-Girlfriend" surprised all William Brandley fans, and the "U.S. Weekly" that published this news was also sold out within a day, and the magazine earned a lot of money. It also ignited the enthusiasm of other weekly gossip magazines, and almost overnight, "William Bradley's Ex-Girlfriend" blossomed in cities across the United States.

Katie, from New York, told the National Enquirer: "Will was a handsome boy from a young age, and we shared our first time with each other when we were 13!"

Claire Kellett, the former Santa Monica Carrara captain from Los Angeles, said in an interview with "Hollywood News": "I am Will's real ex-girlfriend. You only have to go to the Santa Monica Middle School and ask the drama club." There are also our previous group photos on the photo wall! And as far as I know, Will has only dated a girl like me in the past few years, so those so-called ex-girlfriends are all liars! They are lying!"

Sansa, from Miami, told The Hollywood Star in a phone interview: "I've had a lot of hot nights with Will and he's been amazing - what? You said Will never settled in Miami ? Well, of course I know that! Will and I met when I was on vacation in LA!"

Isabella, from New York, told the New York Post: "I don't know if I was Will's first love, but we did date when we were very young, around seventh grade. Well, Will is cute, handsome, humorous, great at school and sports, and it's rare that he's not as arrogant and brutal as other boys, and it's almost normal for girls to fall in love with him. How far has it progressed? Sorry, I can't say this, after all, I was too young when Will and Will dated, but I can say that we have done almost everything that should be done. Will was very young at that time."

Most people believed in the reports of gossip weekly magazines at first, but when the number of "William's ex-girlfriend" became more and more, and even reached dozens, no matter how authentic and credible the gossip tabloids described William's romance, people would not believe it. Began to be skeptical—even if William Bradley is a born romantic, at his current age, it is impossible to date dozens of women, let alone these "ex-girlfriends" More than half of the city where William has never even been to!Can a lie be made more false?How many of these women are real and believable? !

The gossip tabloids played too high and accidentally played it off. The topic of "William's ex-girlfriend" quickly became uninterested. "When did William lose the first time? Who was it?" Fangirls fanatically want to know the answer to the question, but most others are more concerned about: Even if only one in ten of the "ex-girlfriends" is true, William Bradley's relationship history is also worthy It is rich, so, after becoming famous in Hollywood, is there really only one Claire Forlani in William's love life?

In the eyes of gossip tabloids and ordinary people, Hollywood actors live in the world's most beautiful paradise, and it is impossible for them to be pure-hearted and self-sufficient. It should be their true colors in the game. Before Claire Forlani, William Bradley definitely had an unrevealed girlfriend!

Soon, the actresses who worked with William were pulled out by the media to lay guns, Kate Winslet, Drew Barrymore, Claire Danes, Courteney Cox, Uma Thurman Even Laura Linney, who has been identified as the heroine of "The Truman Show" but has not even met William, has been on the media gossip list.

Tabloids such as the New York Post and the National Enquirer were convinced that William had been having affairs with some, if not all of them, and that when it was the most widely read, influential and orthodox in America When "People" magazines in the magazine category began to talk about "Golden Boys and Jade Girls: Those Beautiful Actresses Who Have Collaborated with William", William learned another truth that stunned him amidst his annoyance.

The group of reporters who showed up outside the restaurant when he was dating Claire Forlani turned out to be recruited by Claire Forlani's agent.

"Don't you want to believe it? Accept the truth, Will, there is no secret in Hollywood that I can't find out. If you still refuse to believe it, I can even find the evidence for you. Claire Forlani's agent is Write checks to reporters at more than one newspaper."

"It's far faster to make a movie with you than to fall in love with you, Will." Facing William who was a little unbelievable after learning the truth, publicist Barbara Wilson explained calmly: "From "Sense and Sensibility" " to the upcoming "Gait Shot", whether it's the talented Kate Winslet, the topical actress Drew Barrymore or the supermodel Uma Thurman, the actresses you have worked with are finally from the movie The benefits you get in this drama are not as much as you, and even when it comes to creating topics that actresses are always good at, your light will cover them up, which is really a depressing thing for actresses."

"Isn't this the same situation since the filming of "Meet Joe Black"? It is obvious that Claire Forlani is the most topical. She is a 25-year-old unknown actress from the UK. She was either in a TV series before. The guest role of the mistress of the gangster boss in the movie is either soy sauce in the movie. This time, the studio and the director favored the lead actress for the first time. It is you, one of the most popular heartthrobs in Hollywood, and the Oscar winner Anthony Hopkins, shouldn't the media be paying attention to this Cinderella who was hit in the head by a huge pie? But look at those newspaper news talk shows, people pay more attention to you, or Anthony Hopkins , Claire Forlani is like a vase-like background actor, and her legendary good fortune has not attracted much attention. So, I am not surprised that Claire Forlani and her agent made such a choice, at least That way, she can share your aura."

Barbara Wilson's words were borne out when Claire Forlani later approached William to apologize for her agent.

Claire Forlani probably thinks that she can get William's forgiveness, but first, William hates being counted on, and second, his forgiveness came after Uma Thurman called and said that because of the recent scandal troubles, in order to avoid suspicion, she would break the appointment and refuse to talk to her. When William walked the red carpet for the premiere of "Gait Shot" together, he was almost worn out.

Director Martin Brest also complained about this, and he even called William into his hotel room for a long talk (criticism): "Let's not say that you are not a purely experienced actor, even if you are , does joe black fall in love with susan so you have to fall in love with claire forlani too? i can see you're just a little bit influenced by the character, well, you have a movie coming out soon Right? I’ll give you a week off, whether you go to the premiere to promote it or relax, in short, when you come back, I want to see a normal and happy Will, what should I do?”

William couldn't say no to Martin Brest, so his unofficial relationship with Claire Forlani ended without a problem.

……

A month ago, Gattaca made its debut at the Toronto Film Festival and won the Audience Choice Award, the highest honor of this Canadian film event. This undoubtedly greatly exceeded the expectations of Columbia Pictures and the film's director, Andrew Nicol. To everyone's surprise - they originally wanted to find overseas buyers for "Gait Shot" at the largest film studio exchange conference in Hollywood, but they did not expect to not only beat the Canadian gay film "Garden of Enchantment" to win the film The film has also been sold to Europe, Africa, Oceania and even Japan, South Korea and other countries in Asia.

The Toronto Film Festival is different from the Oscars and other awards ceremonies. It is a filmmaker exchange conference that focuses on film distribution and sales. It does not set up personal best awards. More than [-] films from all over the world are screened, and film companies, media and fans from almost all over the world are gathered. Therefore, the Toronto Film Festival has become one of the most important film festivals in the world on a grand scale. Hollywood producers The company and directors also attach great importance to the Toronto Film Festival.

Then the overseas market of the film will immediately increase. will open up.

However, winning the "People's Choice Award", the highest award at the Toronto Film Festival, and being sought after by filmmakers from all over the world, is still something that the production and distribution team of "Gatta" did not expect.

The screenings held at the Toronto Film Festival for filmmakers, the media and movie fans all achieved very good results. Therefore, Columbia is full of confidence in the prospects of the film and not only decided to hold it in New York when the film is released nationwide in October. A large-scale premiere ceremony, also sent invitations to the three leading actors of the film, William, Jude Law, and Uma Thurman, hoping that they could gather in New York to walk the red carpet at the premiere of the film, and in the following Travel to Los Angeles, Chicago, San Francisco, London, Paris, Tokyo and other cities within a week or two to promote the film.

The crew of "Meet Joe Black" has a time limit for the studio that needs to be built and the rented mansion for the filming. It was difficult for William, who was in the intense filming stage, to spare time to participate in the too many promotions organized by "Gatta", but now director Martin Brest was worried that William's nervousness would sooner or later ruin him, and he was sympathetic to the troubles he encountered recently, so he gave William a week off to let him relax, William Not only was it possible to go to the premiere and several other promotional events, but it was even time to really clear your mind and relax.

When William left the set of "Meet Joe Black", he really felt a lot lighter immediately, and he thought that after the recent madness of Claire Britney and Gossip Weekly, he should have a long time without wanting to go back. Get rid of the "happy bachelor" status.Benefits of falling in love?William didn't notice.
