super actress

"Lolita" completely made a name for itself.

Not only is the film critics' attitude towards the film too dramatic, but the box office trend that climbed up from the bottom is a miracle!

October of this year can be regarded as the off-season of movies. Before the release of "Lolita", there were not many movies that aroused splashes in the market. "Lolita" has completely changed this sluggish situation.

From the original work to the director, screenwriter, producer, actors and creators, and even the distribution company, the film has attracted public attention and discussion. It is simply an October miracle.

From this point of view, it is not surprising that "Lolita" broke through and counterattacked. First of all, there are no excellent works of the same level as this movie, and there are no Hollywood blockbusters with high investment. But in terms of quality, style and viewing effect Look, "Lolita" is doing very well, which is not difficult to explain why the box office of the movie can go all the way after arousing the interest of the audience.

Under this kind of public opinion, there is no competitor in the same period when the film is released, so the audience will naturally choose to watch "Lolita".

The editor-in-chief of "Entertainment Weekly" was even more happy, because they were the first media to publish the film review of "Lolita". Will feel good mood.

As the first media to turn to "Lolita", with Julie Anchar as an insider, "Entertainment Weekly" can also get more first-hand information.

But now, their ambitions are even greater. They want interviews with the main creators of the film, especially Lolita Rhea Nolen, who plays the heroine, is the key object they want to interview.

It's not that Jeremy Irons is unimportant, it's just that readers are definitely more curious about newcomers, and Rhea has more interview points. "Entertainment Weekly" hopes to be the first magazine to interview her.

Disappointingly, however, the young starlet on the cusp jumped headfirst into her boarding school and didn't have time for interviews, and all Entertainment Weekly got was some basic information given to them by their agent.

It's not that Rhea doesn't want to take time off to accept the interview, but her attendance rate is really worrying. Even if Rhea can still keep her grades at the top of the school this semester, it will be difficult to get a scholarship.

Although she asked for leave with legitimate reasons, some teachers usually do not give

With high scores, Rhea's ranking dropped from the first place, but she still firmly occupies the ranks of top students, which is enough to prove to Weber Middle School that she will not delay her studies if she becomes a movie star.

"Lolita" was so popular, how could Weber Middle School near Hollywood know nothing about it? Even if Weber was a boarding school, he wouldn't pursue that completely closed education method.

For those students, Rhea is undoubtedly already a starlet, but they can see her name in newspapers and magazines, and even find one or two stills of her.

Even with all the talk about movies, Rhea doesn't feel like she's really famous for her debut movie, because now it's just the characters that people remember, not her.

But even so, Rhea has also gained a lot of benefits from a series of promotions for the film. A large part of the audience's focus is on her. As long as there is a wave of publicity, it is easy to stir up the name Rhea Nolen Extremely.

But this kind of eager publicity will also bring a high price. Rhea's team is very cautious about this. Neither Malloy nor Ken Sanshan wants to limit her acting path to "Lorrie". Inside the monstrous tragedy of The Tower.

After that, what kind of image she will create to the public, and what kind of role she will use next to wash away the popular Lolita impression on her body, all these need to be carefully considered. , will only drag her into the whirlpool forever.

And any one of them knows that the miracle of "Lolita" is difficult to replicate. This kind of controversy extends from the original book to Kubrick's version of the film, and then to the new version of the film. Rhea What , Malloy and Julie Anchar did was to magnify those controversial points and bring the audience in. Once the audience grows, the media that revolves around the survival and development of the masses will naturally not let this adapted movie go.

It is also impossible for them to block their luck on "Romeo and Juliet". Who knows whether this film that moved Shakespeare's play to the post-modern era will be successful, and such a love tragedy is a normal love, which is different from "Lolita" It is completely different, and it is absolutely impossible to repeat such an operation method.

This kind of good luck would never come again. If Natalie Portman hadn't bumped into her, Rhea really wouldn't have had the chance to launch this plan.

Out of prudent considerations, and because Rhea still needs to go to school, Malloy did not accept the invitations for those interview programs for the time being.

如果

Said that they were fully prepared for the upcoming exposure and media storm before, so now their preparations are indeed completely insufficient.

Who would have thought that Rhea herself did not expect that the trend of film promotion would become so out of control, and exposing her life experience at this time would not only bring no benefits, but would only achieve negative effects.

This is like a ticking time bomb, and the prisoners involved in her incident have all gone to prison, and the insiders are either the police or government personnel. This is not just a simple matter of spending money to keep silent. Rhea must think about it. Know how to do it.

She always has to be exposed under the spotlight, and this is the price of fame. Rhea can't say how much she hates her. If she really hates her so much, she won't go this way, but she certainly won't like it either.

Before, she even thought about taking the initiative to reveal the past under the camera and sell it badly, but now the movie itself has a lot of publicity, and if you deliberately market yourself, you may not be able to achieve good results.

At this time, Rhea can only be thankful that she is still very young, and she can use the excuse of concentrating on studying to avoid the media for a while, and leave the matter to the painful and happy Malloy.

"Rhea!" Jessica Lee greeted her enthusiastically, "Now you can rest assured, as I said, "Lolita" will definitely be a success."

After watching Rhea's movie, Jessica didn't change her attitude. As long as she didn't mention movie roles, fan sites and other things, they were still just like ordinary good friends.

Jessica watched "Lolita" twice, the first time she pestered her brother to take her to see it, and after finding that there were no large-scale images in the movie, the second time she finally persuaded her parents to go to the movie together.

After being won over by Rhea's personality, she is now officially a Rhea fan.

This feeling is a bit strange, especially when Rhea found out that Jessica was not the only one who went to the movie, and many people from Weber Middle School ran to watch it because of the gimmick that their classmates were acting in it.

There are a lot of movie theaters in Los Angeles, and you can watch several movies at any time on the weekend. If you ask a senior student to take it with you, they can of course go to see a "Lolita".

Even if Rhea is not thin-skinned, she still feels embarrassed. After all, she has acted in many X-rated scenes, so Rhea has to be thankful that the American censorship system clicked off the sex scene between her and Jeremy Irons, which avoids It made it too awkward for her to get along with her classmates.

You know, in

Before the movie was officially released, even Webb's teachers were concerned about her role. They worried that she was tricked into making a bad movie, and they were afraid that it would affect the school's reputation.

Although the school did not inquire too carefully because the investor of the film was Andre Witter, Rhea understood this meaning. Fortunately, "Lolita" ushered in a reversal soon, and Weber Middle School did not pursue it any further.

"It's too early to rest assured."

Rhea greeted Jessica. Contrary to Jessica's imagination, Rhea didn't appear too happy, but she wasn't the kind of person who liked to show her emotions.

But Rhea didn't hold it, she was really worried.

After the preview of "Lolita", few film reviews were sent out, and there were not many professional film critics present. After the film was released, as if to make up for the shortcomings at the time, the late film critics published a series of , and there are parts that target each other, which made readers outside the circle watch a lively scene.

Among so many film critics, Rhea has almost never seen one criticizing her acting skills. Even if she reprimanded "Lolita", she should also praise her as a "newcomer". She should have breathed a sigh of relief after being nervous for so long, but She felt even more stressed.

This kind of unquestioned praise also made her anxious.

It was only through her experience that she knew that the media would elevate people to a high place at one moment, and then change their attitude and throw them to the ground the next moment.

So Rhea also has concerns. It is amazing enough that the release of a movie can trigger so many things, but at this moment when the situation is out of control, she really can't imagine whether the public's reaction will evolve into other situations, which makes her helpless. Be more careful not to be careful with the image that Ken brings up.

"Ria."

A classmate called her, "Mr. Marshaw wants you to visit his office."

"Okay, thank you." Rhea thanked the other party before turning to Jessica, "Then I'll go first."

Jessica shrugged her shoulders indifferently, but the classmate who came to look for her was a little excited, "I have seen your movie, you acted really well in it, and I doubt that you played Lolita Well, you are so different from her."

This is the first classmate who took the initiative to express his opinion to the leading actor Rhea. Rhea wanted to say something thankful, but Jessica's reaction was faster than Rhea. She immediately pulled the girl over and had a good time with her chatted.

Now Ryan, the client, was completely discarded.

At the same time, she had to go to the director of their school, Leo Marshaw, who helped her a lot in many things.

But when she came to Marshaw's office, Rhea wanted to go back and listen to her classmates talking about the movies she starred in.

Because the one sitting in the office is Andri Witte.

Seeing that familiar unappetizing cold face, Rhea almost wanted to cry out. It was not a surprise to see this acquaintance suddenly at such a time.

Although she knew it would be silly to ask the question now, Rhea still asked, "Where's Mr. Marshaw?"

"He's going to deal with some things, you can wait here for a while."

Obviously it was Andri who came to find her, Rhea looked him up and down puzzled and displeased, except for seeing that the suit and tie on his body was expensive, Rhea couldn't see anything new.

If every producer is as high-profile as him, it is estimated that they can also be regarded as important caretakers by the paparazzi.

Not only was the gray suit not dull at all, but it had a cold and elegant luster because of the texture. The black shirt was a bit heavy under the suit, which made his white tie lighten up the whole look.

Rhea reckoned she might be able to barely buy Andry's tie, which might be a good thing, and if she got mad later, she could tear off the white tie and step on it, as long as she could afford it.

"how about you?"

"It's something to come to Weber School." Sitting on someone else's office chair without any shame, Andri was as natural as sitting in his own seat, "I came to visit you by the way, after all, we are considered a cooperative relationship."

In the eyes of Ted Field, Andrea was still Rhea's manager.

But so far, the only contract contacting Rhea and Andri is "James of the Brave".

Rhea wasn't used to this scene where she was standing and Andri was sitting, and it was like back when they first met and she was just one of countless auditions and Andri was in charge of picking her.

So she also found a chair and sat down.

Andri saw through her thoughts, and he smirked without any emotion, "You look a little taller."

"Can we talk about it, what is it?"

In a sense, Andrea is indeed her manager. It was he who pushed Rhea to compete for Lolita, and it was he who revealed to Rhea about the replacement of Juliet. ya pay him a broker rate

.

But she also introduced the lucrative film project "Jumanji" to Andre, and Rhea thought about it and felt that she didn't owe him anything.

""Lolita" is well promoted." Andri reluctantly praised, but Rhea didn't like his condescending tone at all, as if they were working for Andri in everything they did.

Although he is the producer, he is indeed one of the direct beneficiaries of "Lolita".

Malloy and Rhea said that after the film was filmed, Andri didn't take care of it anymore, and the distribution was handled by Mario Caesar. It is said that Mario complained more than once.

This man simply doesn't know what to think. If he just wants to be an investor, he can do nothing after throwing away the money. That way he won't get into trouble with other producers or even directors, but he just can't stand doubts and must After intervening in the film and establishing authority, he let it go.

And just like that, Andre is taking his share of the box office, and Rhea understands exactly why Mario hates him so much.

Out of a complicated psychology of making money for Andri, Rhea asked back: "So do you want to hear me say thank you?"

"That's not necessary." Andre didn't care about her mood, he just checked her status like checking the work of his subordinates, "Now you are in a fight with Natalie Portman?"

Rhea doesn't know if she should be pleased that the busy man not only noticed that Rebecca Hall stole her Juliet, but even took time out of the Lolita controversy to spot her The confrontation with Natalie Portman, but at least this can prove that Andri values ​​her.

Although she and Natalie have never met directly from the beginning to the end, her name was not mentioned in the other party's interview at all, and Rhea's hands and feet have been handled very cleanly. The voice of the movie "Rita" just added a small splash to this huge storm of controversy.

This small war has no beginning and no end, but judging from the final result, Rhea still won. If Natalie's team can figure out what effect their joining has on Rhea and her movie, then they Never feels better, there's nothing more disgusting than picking up a competitor.

"It's over."

After saying this, Rhea paused again. She felt that the words were a bit familiar. She also said this to Andri last time, and his answer was——

"Do not."

accident

Staring at him knowingly again, Rhea couldn't get angry now, she just looked at Andri and waited for him to finish speaking, she had to admit that Andri was not a good friend, but he was definitely a good enemy.

"When starting a war, you should protect your weakness first." Andri frowned slightly, it was hard to say whether he was disappointed or simply in a bad mood, "Can't you think about your situation first, and then do it again?" Such a rash decision?"

She took the words quickly: "Then what's my situation, don't you know better than me, my agent and publicist?"

"You have exposed yourself too clearly. Even if you can't prove it, they will know that you did it."

"So what?" Rhea was speaking entirely to refute him, "Could it be that Natalie Portman is so secretive? Is it possible that I, a newcomer, can only be suppressed and not fight back?"

Having not been in touch for a while, Andri was a little unaccustomed to this kind of girl's childish bickering. He endured it for a second or two before giving up that false mask of kindness, revealing his cold and mean real appearance, "Of course not, if If you don't fight back, I will only be more disappointed, and now I just think you are too stupid, you can do it smarter."

Even if Rhea knew that she was not the kind of real genius and was used to hearing praises during this period of time, she still couldn't accept Andri's evaluation.

And the most unbearable thing for her was that she knew that Andri was telling the truth.

No matter how much she told herself to be sober and not to be led away by the media, the overflowing praise still lifted her up a bit, but Andri immediately woke her up.

"Then what will you do?"

At this point, it would be foolish of Andry to say things like "Why do I have to teach you for free", so he just said it, "It's a waste to choose Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times to respond , you should have Kenneth Turan of the Los Angeles Times, who published her interview, slap her in the face."

Rhea guessed that Kenneth was also a film critic, and just as she was about to speak, Andri interrupted her, "Ted and Kenneth have a deeper friendship, but you are too focused on the Chicago Sun-Times, if you Doing this will only make Natalie Portman's team more unhappy, and you don't even need to do all the Internet tricks to get them into trouble."

This time Rhea looked at him with a new look, "Do you think I have the power to order him at will?"

These characters come to speak for me? "

"You don't, but Lolita does. You should persuade Kenneth to go to the movies first!"

Although there are movie reviews on the "Los Angeles Times" now, the effect is definitely different.And in this way, it has nothing to do with Rhea, and she completely picks herself up.

But Rhea was surprised that Andri could see so many things. In their plan, he didn't participate much from the beginning to the end.

"Well, you're right, but I think it's better now." Rhea said not to be outdone, "Roger Albert is more famous than Kenneth Turan, so people will know who is right. "

"Really, then when they know who your mother is, do you think people will figure it out?" Andri glanced at her indifferently, "The way you did it is so effective, you think no one treats you now Are you interested?"

Rhea could hear him talking about her biological mother, and she realized right away: "You mean she's checking me out?"

"The audience is curious about you, so the media will naturally be responsible for satisfying their curiosity." Andri returned to his slow pace, "Now you can consider whether to take the initiative to sell tears on the show or wait for them to be exposed before selling them."

"You just earn more sympathy points under the image of Lolita."

After waiting for a while, Rhea still didn't speak, and Andri twitched the corner of his mouth: "But you don't want this sympathy point now, do you?"

"Because you know very well that if it is exposed at the hottest critical moment of this movie, you will probably never be able to get rid of the shadow of Lolita."

In the room, the man's blue eyes looked even more gloomy and gray, and his cold voice continued: "You should thank me."

"for what?"

"Until now, what the media knows about you is still an ordinary girl in Queens, New York, a top student at Weber Middle School, isn't it?"

Hearing this disguised promise, Rhea didn't feel relieved at all, as if Andri could easily find out her identity, now he can simply cover up her most embarrassing past.

But she didn't want to be grateful to Andri at all, because she also knew that the price of thanking him would only be higher.It was knowing his vengeful character and calculating talent again and again that Rhea was so clear-headed. Even if he really wanted to train her, he would never help her so much for free.

"You know the New York

Government? "

Just after asking Rhea, I felt stupid. Andrei has a background in Werther Industry, so it is strange that he has nothing to do with the government.

"New York Police Department, New York Women's Prison, Wyoming Prison, New York Child Protection Association..." Andri read a series of names, "Is there anything I'm missing?"

He even considered the court and the government, what else could Rhea say.

She just guarded against Andri cautiously and fearfully, "I didn't ask you to do this."

"You can refuse." Andri smirked nonchalantly, "I just have to remind you, then you have to disclose it earlier, otherwise it will be very disadvantageous for you to be exposed by your opponent first."

Recruiting a mother, picking up customers at the age of 12, once these gimmicks are magnified by the media, they can undoubtedly achieve terrible effects, and when these gimmicks are connected with Lolita, even if Rhea is the victim, she will stay in this shadow for a long time .

Looking at Andri's face, Rhea never had such a sober moment again. She deeply felt the insignificance and weakness of her own strength, and then she also vaguely noticed one thing.

Did Andri really just pick her up and want to put her on the altar?

Or is it because he actually has other plans that he is willing to spend so much effort to solve her troubles?

Rhea couldn't believe his kindness.

Having learned the lesson from the previous mutants, Rhea no longer dared to take it lightly in front of Andri, and she directly reminded Andri: "I can't afford it now."

It was nothing to be ashamed of, she really couldn't afford the investment Andri had put into her cover.

"Then put that on the books first." He responded curtly to Rhea's question, "You owe me once, and the next time I ask you, you can't say no."

It was almost like a needle stuck into Rhea's head, and she tensed up in shock, "No!"

Andri glared at her impatiently: "Is this too much?"

"No, you have to tell me what the specific request is before I agree." Rhea insisted, "I can't let my future self regret it."

This kind of exchange seems fair, but in the future, Andre Witte will definitely make a request to her that she can't refuse and absolutely can't agree to. She knows this kind of thing too well. Now she has taken advantage of it, and she will definitely pay in the future. A more tragic price.

"Are you sure you want to reject me?"

After looking at Andri for a while, Rhea didn't speak, so they fell silent.

At the same time another

place, another negotiation is underway.

An elegantly dressed lady is asking the person sitting across from her: "Her current parents are adoptive parents. Is she an orphan?"

"No, Rhea Nolen's full name is Rhea Nolen Parker. She was originally the daughter of Parker's neighbor Jones Colt. Her biological father is unknown. She was adopted by the Parker family two years ago."

"why?"

"The neighbor's rumor is that Colt left with another man, and she doesn't want to take her daughter with her." The low-key men told her one by one, "But I found out that she is now in prison."

She quickly asked, "What crime is that?"

"It's hard to find this one. Of course, Mrs. Hirschler, I'm working hard, but it needs to get in touch with the prison administrator and the police." He paused meaningfully, "Even if I—"

"You don't need to worry about money."

"Then I'm relieved." The man nodded reassuringly. He has a lot of experience in dealing with such things, "I will find out everything as soon as possible."

Such professionals are undoubtedly more suitable than media reporters to investigate the truth of some things. The media also need to take into account some ethical issues to avoid being sued or criticized by public opinion.

Mrs. Hirschler has nothing to be ashamed of doing this kind of thing. Even if she doesn't do it, so many Hollywood media are waiting to publish news reports about Rhea Noren. Now Rhea is rising with Lolita, She is a candy, and the media will swarm like ants to dig out everything about her. Without a strong public relations background, she is a vulnerable target in front of the media.

Since someone would do something like this sooner or later, what's wrong with her getting to know this up-and-coming young actor in advance?

This is Hollywood's means of survival. It is not enough to be strong alone, but also to grasp the enemy's weaknesses.

The development of the "Lolita" movie is really beyond her expectations, and thinking of Rhea Noren's next "Romeo and Juliet", Hirschler is even more uneasy, and these two roles were originally her daughter. !

If it was a single character, she might not pay much attention to Rhea, but after two consecutive roles were taken over by a girl whose name she had never heard of, it was hard for Hershler not to pay attention.

The success of "Lolita" itself is a blow to their public relations planning, and "Romeo and Juliet", which she is more optimistic about, will also be released. If there is another success, then Rhea Noren will definitely be able to quickly gaining a foothold in hollywood

, which is also the last thing she wants to see.

If you can find a handle, or find a place that can be used to attack Rhea, it will be worth all the efforts Heshler has made.

She swore secretly that she would never give Rhea the chance to take away Natalie's third role, and even if Natalie didn't want it, she couldn't give it to Rhea Norren.

But what Mrs. Hirschler didn't know was that the man who took her money called another man as soon as he walked out.

"Just as you think, Mr. Witte, Natalie Portman's agent paid me to check the background of Ria Noren's life experience."

"Then what did you say?"

Andri's reaction was cold, but the man on the phone changed his posture and was extremely respectful.

"I have accepted the money, Mr. Witt, what should I do next? Should I tell her what I have investigated before?"

The dominant man raised his eyelids and looked at Rhea, he narrowed his eyes slightly, "What do you think, Miss Nolen?"

Rhea watched him act coldly. He was really... She couldn't even imagine what Andri was doing. With such a lot of energy, he couldn't do anything. He must come to Hollywood to play the game of nurturing, and he just decided on her.

Indeed, it was all the better for her with Andry around.

but--

"Do not."

The blond elite, who had always been calm and composed, showed obvious surprise for the first time, and he even asked repeatedly: "Are you sure?"

He couldn't believe it, of course he couldn't believe it, compared to the 20-year contract, his request was so insignificant, so Rhea refused.

Andri was not mistaken, if Rhea had not been reborn, she would accept it without hesitation, but she had learned from experience, she knew how easy it is to say yes at this moment, and how difficult it will be to say yes in the future.

And he definitely has a plan, otherwise it would be impossible to propose this kind of transaction. This is not a simple debt of favor, Rhea sees it very clearly.

One thing for another.

If she agrees, in the future, she will need to do one thing for Andri to repay him, and Rhea can guarantee that she will definitely regret it.

And she has long since regretted it.

Looking at her, Andri was thoughtful, and finally he hung up the phone directly.

Rhea was relieved that he didn't directly order the death penalty, so she directly raised the topic: "What do you want from me?"

"Why don't you put it this way, what can you give me?" Andri gave her the right to choose.

It took a long time for Rhea

Responding, Andri took a step back. Realizing that he had compromised with her inexplicable insistence, she stared at him in astonishment for a long time.

Alexander the Great actually compromised!

It wasn't until Andri got impatient that Rhea collected her thoughts and answered him.

"I guess Witt Industries also has business in the UK?" Rhea made a cross silently in her heart, God will forgive her lies, "Do you know why Prince William came to visit Brighton Rodin Girls' School?"

Andri cast a look, and Rhea lied without changing her face: "Actually, I know William, and we have become friends."

Strictly speaking, this is not a lie.

"What? Next moment, are you going to say that he is in love with you by presenting flowers to you?"

In Andri's laughing eyes, Rhea can still continue to gossip, "Don't be so mean, am I ugly? If you don't believe me, I even have a medal from the royal family of the British Empire, pure gold .”

She smiled at Andri, a very nice smile.

For the sake of saving the other party's life, if Prince William knew she was talking nonsense, maybe he wouldn't blame her.

But the fact is that far away at Eton College in Windsor Town, England, Prince William, who survived intact, is chatting with his new batch of darts and drivers.

"Did you go to the movies?"

"Yes, Your Highness." Hearing this question, the bodyguard frowned uncomfortably, "But—"

But Prince William didn't let the other person talk, he just turned to ask the driver and waited for someone's answer.

While driving, the driver cautiously answered his little master's question: "Yes, Your Highness."

While it's not their job to go to the movies, Prince William paid them to go see a movie, and there's no reason why they shouldn't.

Then came the following question, "How did "Lolita" go?"

The bodyguards, whose muscles were wrapped in suits, looked at each other. They knew what the other wanted to hear, but they didn't know whether they should satisfy him.

In the end, the driver in charge of the car answered this question. If he encounters an enemy, he can knock down a big man within 1 minute, but it is a difficult problem for him to evaluate a movie. His cultural attainments are not very high. , luckily he doesn't need to review movies.

"Miss Nolen played very well. If I didn't know that it was the same person, I wouldn't believe she was the Romeo."

Now Prince William seemed satisfied, but everyone else in the car had new troubles.

Because they were so worried, the next question was asking them to take him to the movies, and "Lolita" is definitely not something royals should watch!

The author has something to say:

Sorry for being late..._(:з」∠)_
