super actress

Compared with things like moral bottom line and professionalism, Rhea first thought of that night, but she hadn't thought of it for a long time.

This retrospective memory made her voice pause, and she couldn't immediately pick up Malloy's words.

He noticed her strangeness on the phone, so he asked in a low voice: "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing, it's just that I think I got into a big trouble." Rhea sighed, and this sentence made Malloy feel uneasy, and she continued: "You think we have a way..." Drop Andri?

She didn't finish the sentence, because this sentence made Rhea herself feel too hypocritical. The person who knew Andre Witt benefited the most was herself. For a while, she even offered to cooperate with Andre.

If we cannot cooperate, we cannot be enemies of each other.

She couldn't get herself into such a big trouble in Hollywood.

Besides, she hasn't reached the point where she can get rid of Andri at this stage.

"Someone is checking on me recently, we have to be careful." Rhea changed the phrase, "Looks like we made each other really angry last time."

Malloy sneered unfriendly, and his temper was not good after careful consideration.

"Did Andri tell you?"

Rhea felt a headache when she heard this: "That's right."

"What did you give him, that he is willing to help you like this?" Malloy became suspicious again. It's not that he was too vigilant, but that there is no free pie in Hollywood, and Andre is not a philanthropist, "If next time he I'll find you alone again, call me and tell me, okay?"

Without seeing Andri's attitude with his own eyes, it was hard for Malloy not to think about those dark aspects, especially Rhea and Andri met through "Lolita", which made him even more worried.

"I know what you mean, I will be careful." Rhea comforted him with these words, "but don't worry, he may be more interested in my corpse than me."

But this made Malloy even more worried, that is, he felt abnormal, "Then what could be the reason?" Thinking about it now, Andri's attitude was too "enthusiastic" from the very beginning.

"Did you find Jones' client list?" Rhea said suddenly, talking about her biological mother as calmly as she was talking about a stranger.

Malloy is not surprised either, not everyone can love each other with their parents, there will always be unfortunate families and unhappy families.

lucky child.

"Yes, but she didn't stay in MBR all the time. For a few years, she was picked up by customers and taken out to take care of her. It seems that she changed owners several times." He tried to speak in a calm tone, "If you want It may be more difficult to find the biological father."

"I'm not looking for my biological father." Rhea retorted Malloy, she already had her own family, "I just have some doubts and want to verify it."

Even if it turned out that she had nothing to do with Andrei, Rhea did not dispel her doubts, and now she began to imagine other possibilities.

"But these can be put aside for now." She frowned, "Do you think it's really okay for us to start competing for prizes now?"

If there is no nomination and so much publicity, the negative impact will be even greater.

"Are you okay?" Malloy asked abruptly, changing the subject, "What happened? Why do I feel like you've become a little—"

Rhea answered in his drawn voice, "Be careful?"

"No, you've become timid." He used a derogatory term. "What did you say, when I brought you Annabelle, why couldn't you be the heroine?"

"I told you no, but you ended up being the lead actress and we even managed to change the script, girl, you know how incredible that is for a rookie actor"

"And now, you're worried, worried about this and that." Malloy said as if it had nothing to do with him, obviously he was one of the people who instilled these thoughts in Rhea, "Please, we are now With nothing to lose, what is there to worry about?"

She offered a half-hearted flattery: "It seems that this success has made you very brave, Matthew."

"Stop joking, I'm serious." Malloy's ambition and expectations were all reflected in his voice, "What are you afraid of? I know you are mature and smart, but start worrying now Wouldn't it be a little exaggerated that something didn't happen?"

"People are praising you, you see those movie reviews!" He has read many of them himself, "Even the movie critics who hate "Lolita" the most praise you, why are you still so restrained? Think about it, You've achieved the first success that so many young girls in Hollywood aspire to, and you've come out on top even more than most established actresses, and you've got people remembering your role, whatever it is."

"Now, we just need to convert their image of Lolita into an image of you." Malloy changed his mind, and he is trying to change Rhea's, "Even if they remember you as a poor version Lolita is here, it's better to be impressed than not to be impressed."

"I admit that my previous thinking was a bit wrong. I really wanted to make things perfect. I wanted to make you famous and earn the favor of all the audience. There is no such thing as easy."

He spoke frankly about his mistakes, which are mistakes that inexperienced managers make, creating a perfect image of an artist, but in the end it always ruins the image by exposing flaws.

Rhea felt hesitant because she was too experienced. She really didn't expect to be able to reach the sky in one step. Of course, she is still far from reaching the sky, but she does have a little fame.

Success came too fast, which made her feel a kind of cautious fear for everything that came next. She didn't feel afraid when she was famous a long time ago, because she was young and didn't understand anything, but now she knows a lot. Instead, he got up cautiously, for fear that he would stumble.

This is a mentality of wanting to cherish feathers after having a certain status.

But Malloy was right, she had no status now.

What do they need to worry about? Even if people praise her to the sky, she is just a talented and lucky newcomer. Even if she falls, she will just go back to the original point.

And she even had a "Romeo and Juliet," which proved to the world that she could play different types of characters.

"Well, you're right." Rhea returned to her normal state after resolving some knots, "But I've already made a deal with Andri, so it can't be wasted."

Malloy already knew the content of their deal. He didn't think that Rhea had done useless work. On the contrary, he was actually very happy that Rhea could get the help from Andre, "Then we can only make good use of it."

"He connected me, maybe we can get those agencies to speak for me." This is what Rhea thought.

But her agent is much more cunning than her, "Don't you all know that Hirschler has hired a private investigator to investigate you? This is an invasion of privacy. We can definitely talk to her about this issue."

"Private detective, ha, it seems that I am still far behind, I have to learn from her." Malloy sighed, and then he analyzed, "What do you think of the line of "Lolita"? We You can tell the tabloid first

How do you feel about letting some rumors out and waiting for them to lead the public opinion in a bad direction before coming out to explain the truth? "

He said it very bluntly, "A good person will be blamed for doing a wrong thing, and a bad person will be praised for doing a good thing. If this is the case, let's be a bad person first."

Rhea couldn't help sighing: "Now you're starting to make me think I'm a bad person."

"Don't say that, we are just protecting ourselves in advance." Malloy has a lot of experience in defense, "We just sprinkled a little bait on the other party, if they don't take the bait, we can't do anything, if they take the bait, then we can't do anything." Blame us."

When Malloy didn't hear a response, he took it as her agreement. It was only at this moment that he asked her: "Riya, are you really okay?"

Not everyone is suitable for this kind of confession. Malloy had seen Rhea do it before, so he wanted to persuade her to do it again, but being willing and being passive were two different things.

So Malloy asked again to confirm her status: "If you are really resistant, we can also think of other ways."

"You really don't want to suffer at all." Rhea was a little helpless.

The contract they signed was for one year, but it was renewed for three years. So far, their cooperation has been happy, so the contract was renewed smoothly.

Malloy had said a lot of words to persuade her before, and when he sensed her wavering, he launched a tender offensive, lest she complain that he is a ruthless blood-sucking broker who only cares about profits.

Her agent said sincerely: "Please, I really care about you."

"I'm glad you can agree." He sighed, finally revealing part of the cold truth, "The production company and the distribution company hope you can agree."

"How did they know?" Rhea felt stupid again after asking halfway. Didn't she complain to the screenwriter herself just to revise the script?

Now she felt that her previous hesitation and entanglement were all a joke, and she opened her mouth affirmatively: "They still want to do another round of publicity."

It's as if it's not hot enough.

"Selling you by the way." Malloy patched, "Fox would like to do something for your Otty."

Jeremy Irons' nomination is far less gimmick than Rhea's nomination. He has too many roles and there is no way he can't apply for a male supporting role. Moreover, the competition for Oscar winners has always been fierce. This year there is another "Braveheart", Fox will definitely prioritize Rhea.

rhea called

Calling her agent, "Matthew, do we have the right to refuse?"

He replied to her: "I don't have this right, but you have this freedom. As a professional and competent agent, I suggest you agree." In this way, they will undoubtedly get a lot of benefits.

However, Malloy continued: "But as a friend, I accept any decision you make."

Boarding school can temporarily cut her off from the outside world, and Malloy is her channel to connect with the outside world. In this case, even if Rhea feels that her popularity has changed, it is difficult to have a specific concept.

He was an agent, and he was in charge of contacting work, studios, and various media. If Malloy didn't say it, Rhea wouldn't know that it was Fox's plan, and she just thought it was for her own good and did it.

Malloy could convince her too, he had already convinced her.

But he still chose to tell her the truth, and Rhea felt relieved that there was indeed someone on her side. Although they were now in a bonded relationship, Malloy's confession still comforted her.

After finishing the call, Rhea was quiet for a long time. She recalled her previous plans and goals carefully, until she was completely sure, she broke free from the cowardly hesitation and gradually became firm.

She was sure she wanted this.

Rhea thought of many things.

She thought of her adoptive parents, and she had to talk to them first, so they wouldn't be overwhelmed.

She also thought about the soul that disappeared from this body, whether that lost life would blame her, and blamed her for dissecting that unbearable past to gain fame and sympathy.

But she still chose to do this, which only proves that she is indeed not a purely good person.

At this stage of development, Rhea has shifted her focus from repaying the owner who bestowed her body to herself. Although she is eager to succeed, she is not so eager. If she walks step by step, she can walk more steadily and smoothly, but It wasn't Malloy who really made her agree to use this method, but Andri.

She wanted to get rid of him more than ever.

It's better to make a deal with a villain than with a madman.

If it hadn't been for him to pinch her weakness, Rhea would have almost uttered her remorse at that time.

The feeling of being controlled and restricted by someone is really terrible, even though Andri is still facing her now, and Rhea has also included him in the enemy's camp.

But her current enemy

The people are not Andri, but those competitors who want her down and the media and manufacturers who want to squeeze more benefits from her.

"I knew you would be able to convince our dear Lolita, Mytes." Julie Anchar poured Malloy a glass of wine, and she handed it to him, "As for the details We can have a good talk."

Malloy took her drink naturally, "It's a pity that Ken can't come."

This kind of transaction definitely requires detailed discussions and even the signing of a contract to complete.

Across the table, filmmakers Mario Caesar and Joel Max were discussing something in low tones, and screenwriter Stephen Schiffer had been brought in for a show hosted by Julie Anchar. small gatherings.

In addition to their group of film creators, there are also several of Julie's friends, and Ken Sanshan can't come because he has to deal with another client.

The female executive who was valued by his superiors smiled kindly at him, but it was difficult for Malloy to be happy with this special intimacy. He didn't expect that Julie would know about Rhea from Stephen.

Of course she didn't want to let go of such a good publicity. "Lolita" has been released in North America for two and a half weeks, and the popularity has gradually cooled down. The box office growth rate in the third week is already negative, and it has been declining. , but the box office trend in Europe is still rising. According to this trend, the movie will probably have a box office of about 4000 million US dollars when it ends.

Compared with their initial gains and expectations, this result is already very good.

But if she can reap more box office at the end, Julie Anchar will certainly not refuse. She invested a lot in this movie, so she also hopes to earn more.

Fox doesn't just get a share of the box office, they have also signed a contract with Mario for the subsequent DVD sales, so of course they are willing to do their best.

Compared with the return of benefits, digging up a terrible past is nothing at all. Many celebrities repeatedly mention the sad past on camera to gain the attention of the media. Even if Rhea is still too young, she should get used to it sooner.

It is precisely because of her youth and novelty that her tears are more valuable. Julie is very optimistic about her and the added value she can bring to Fox.

In the face of this temptation, publishers and producers could not refuse, and Rhea and Malloy had no qualifications or capital to refuse.

Julie and Malloy clinked glasses of wine. She used exquisite makeup to cover up wrinkles and fatigue, and successfully made the

She was full of energy, and alcohol made her lose her indifference to work.

But Malloy knew that the woman hadn't been drunk, she was sober.

There are too many powerful forces pressing on them. Malloy has been in contact with Rhea more frequently, so he is more unwilling than her. He knows his position, and he also knows that he does not need to care about these things. He and Rhea are the same Being able to benefit is a win-win.

In this modernly decorated apartment, the lights are bright, but they are not bright enough for Hollywood people. The smell of wine is intoxicating, but they can't stop their smart brains.

Malloy was committed to being one of them, in fact he was now, he was fully integrated into Julie Anchar's circle.

However, when drinking the wine, what Malloy remembered was the tears that Rhea shed in front of Stephen Schiffer a year ago.

She asked him at the time, "Do you think I'm too unscrupulous?"

The reality is exactly the same as what he said to that precocious girl, as long as there is money to be made, everyone in Hollywood can be a prostitute, and maybe in the near future, she will not ask such naive questions again.

She has never seen the real unscrupulousness.

It was a comfortable morning in mid-October. Mrs. Hirschler had just finished flipping through a newspaper with a cup of fresh oatmeal. When she saw a report criticizing Rhea Nolen, she read it a little longer with a slight pleasure.

"Counting down the child stars who have become famous, Natasia Kinski, Eva Ironisco and Brooke Shields, will Rhea Noren be next?"

Isn’t it just that, the girl who became famous by relying on “Lolita” acted in bed scenes with middle-aged men in her teens, and after that, she probably can only be like Brooke Shields, not relying on acting hot youth Movies rely on scandals and advertisements to attract the audience's attention.

Although Rhea's acting skills make Mrs. Hirschler jealous, she still believes that this choice is incorrect. Unless she meets a more impressive role, Rhea will be remembered as Lolita for the rest of her life.

She hopes so too.

In a short time, the person she found should be able to bring back some information. Mrs. Hirschler hopes to see some important clues. Her background is from a broken family, her mother has a criminal record, and she became famous when she was young and went astray. Nightmare, she can completely imagine the next plot.

However, the next moment, the ear-piercing phone rang, breaking her innocence.

"Excuse me, is this Mrs. Hirschler?" another person on the phone asked.

The man in the head sounded very polite.

After getting a confirmed answer, his tone became strange: "Hi, Mrs. Hirschler, I'm Rhea Nolen's agent, Maites Hugh Malloy. I don't know why, we found out that A suspicious-looking man was investigating Rhea, and when we caught him, he gave your name."

Mrs. Hirschler almost knocked over the cup in her hand. The person she found was obviously the most professional. Even if he was discovered, he would never reveal the name of his employer!

But if he didn't say it, how did Malloy find her phone number.

"I have no idea what you're talking about, Mr. Malloy, I don't even know you and Rhea Noren." She responded with great calmness: "You should be careful, after "Lolita", Those perverts with special hobbies might have their eyes on that poor little girl."

Rhea's agent promised: "Yes, thank you for your concern, I'm really sorry, I think I must have disturbed you."

"It's okay, I'm also very happy to get to know you through this opportunity."

Just when Mrs. Hirschler thought the phone call was about to end, the man changed his subject: "It's nice to meet you too, Mrs. Hirschler, Natalie said in the Los Angeles Times that "Lolita" shouldn't be It was photographed, and I misunderstood it, thinking that you don't like us."

"How is it possible? It's just her opinion on movies. Nata always has her own opinions, but she doesn't target anyone."

"That's good, please forgive me, what happened last time and the abnormality discovered this time, it's hard for us not to think about some bad things."

Hearing Malloy's hint and warning, Mrs. Hirschler gritted her teeth: "Of course I don't mind, but don't think too much about it. "Lolita" is a big success now, and you should celebrate it. "When it came to the word great success, she felt unhappy again, and she was already very unhappy.

"Thank you for your tolerance and encouragement. I feel very relieved now." Malloy said very sincerely, "If the media asks, I will definitely explain to them. The delusions extend from the characters to Rhea and Natalie themselves, which is pretty boring."

Now he is a naked threat, and Mrs. Hirschler dealt with him with some embarrassment: "You know, the media just like to exaggerate some unnecessary things. It's just two little girls, what can they do!"

"Girls can't do it, adults can't do it."

Not necessarily anymore. He laughed again after speaking, "Just kidding, I think Rhea and Natalie will become good friends, they are about the same age, and some of them are young actors who have not given up their studies. We can cooperate. "

After some friendly gestures and entertainment, Mrs. Hirschler was finally able to hang up this disgusting phone call, which was really the most annoying Jew she had ever met.

She wanted to get some of Rhea's weaknesses, but she didn't expect to be caught by the other party. Of course, she could deny or deny these allegations, but Malloy's ambiguous attitude was what made her irritated.

After staring at the reports she had read for a while, Mrs. Hirschler no longer liked the name, so she directly threw the newspapers that mentioned Rhea Nolen's name into the trash can.

What the hell!

The author has something to say:

Natasia Kinski's "Tess", Eva Ironisco is the prototype of "My Little Princess" and Brooke Shields' "Embarrassing Baby", they are all beauties qaq super beautiful, developing The best one is Brooke Shields, she is a very popular star
