[US Entertainment] Popular all over the world

a few days later.

Paramount Studios, 5555 Melrose Boulevard, Los Angeles.

The atmosphere in the studio today is not good.

Paramount president Shirley Lansing, producer Gary Lucchesi, director Gregory Hobright, editor Ann Bidman, casting director Dibra Aguilar, and Richard Gere, one of the leading actor candidates for Fear of the First Level, appeared here at the same time.

In 1990, "Pretty Woman" made Julia Roberts and Richard Gere stand in the positions of first-line Hollywood superstars, but after that Richard Gere rejected "Die Hard" and "Die Hard" one after another. For a film like "Wall Street", a series of films starring in it all ended in failure, and the coffee position gradually became a little unstable.

Therefore, he urgently needed a good movie to save his career and bring it back to the top, so when he heard that director Gregory Hobright was going to make "First Fear" written by William Dill, he And his agent immediately recognized this as an opportunity.

Richard Gere contacted the producer and director of "First Fear" one after another, and personally recruited the screenwriter Ann Baderman to join the team. Although he has not signed the contract yet, he has completely regarded himself as a sure actor .

Oh yes, who better to be the personable lawyer than him?

However, reality soon hit the face.

First, Hobright proposed that he wanted to invite an idol star to play the role of Alan, the soul of the movie-they even wanted to change the script for that girl, are they confused by shit?

Richard Gere angrily stated that it is impossible for a stupid blonde girl who can't act to ruin his movie, and if Paramount wants her, then he will leave.

And then there's that bloody head of production at Paramount who suggested that he, the leading man, better get an audition and try it out with that girl?

Isn't this a fucking waste of his time?

So who was that stupid blonde girl sleeping with?

His agent made several phone calls overnight, only to find out that Josie Horton, who was about to audition, was not only a newcomer handpicked by Paramount president Shirley Lansing, but also had contacts with Hollywood producer David Geffen.

Who is David Geffen?

To the uninformed outsider, Geffen is just a retired millionaire;

But for a real understanding of Hollywood, especially first-line stars, he is the man behind the scenes that caused Ron Meyer, the president of Universal Pictures, to take over, and Michael Ovitz lost control of CAA.

Geffen can influence the selection of the president of a huge Hollywood studio, and of course he can also influence the casting of films under the studio, but in most cases, he himself doesn't care much about these small things.

This time, however, is clearly a special case.

David Geffen personally read the script of "First Fear" and thought it was a good project, so he recommended it to Keanu Reeves' agent Owen Stoff.

As a newly promoted first-line celebrity, Keanu Reeves is fully qualified to compete for the role with the somewhat outdated Richard Gere, even though the former is too young and has no acting skills.

And Keanu Reeves is 31 years old, and he has just officially come of age in Hollywood.

"Fxxk, that fucking fag..." Richard almost blurted out.

It was his manager who slammed his shoulders and reminded, "Richard, there are some things you shouldn't say here."

Richard closed his mouth, the corners of his mouth tightened downward.

"This is really not a good idea, Richard." His agent continued, "Shirley Lansing and Kevin Howard both treat this girl as a baby, they are very optimistic about her, there is no need for us to jump out and do this Bad guy. You know, when it comes to auditions, they're going to know she's not right."

Richard glanced at his agent coldly: "No need? This is my movie! I won't let this ignorant bastard play with my movie, no, she doesn't even have the right to touch it!"

His agent wanted to say that they hadn't signed the lead actor yet, but all along Richard considered the movie his own, and no one else could get his hands on it.

And the reason why he spoke so fiercely and didn't control the volume, is it to remind Shirley Lansing not far away, another little bastard who knows nothing about the sky and the earth - Keanu Reeves and his manager - are not qualified Touch this movie.

To be honest, if Richard had signed the contract early, instead of delaying in negotiating the terms of remuneration and dividends, I am afraid that there would not be so many things now.

Who made Richard go to several movies in a row and start to lose his temper?

Filmmakers are the most realistic animals that seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and Paramount is a shrewd woman in charge of the house, which is especially excessive on this point.

Shirley Lansing, who was being talked about, didn't seem to notice anything unusual, with the same expression on her face as she was talking to Paramount's production director in a low voice.

"You're right, Richard Gere is indeed the best candidate for the leading actor. Keanu Reeves? No, he can't, he's not suitable. Adding him to the list of candidates for the leading actor is, on the one hand, Greg Mr. Fern's instructions prevented his agent from being busy for a long time; on the other hand, Richard Gere should understand that he is no longer the big star of the past, and he is not qualified to dictate the film, nor the salary. "

If you are too old, you should have the awareness of being too old, and don't continue to put on the airs of A cafe stars; idols should also follow the route of idols, and some things are better known.

Don't look at the people from Paramount actively contacting Keanu Reeves' agent, but in fact, they didn't even notify each other to participate in today's audition.

Because Keanu Reeves is really hot, with his popularity, "Level One Fear" can attract the attention of many movie fans, but his acting skills and appearance are not convincing enough. David Geffen has already hinted at the premise Under the circumstances, Paramount had already excluded him from the leading actor candidate.

The director of Paramount hesitated: "But if you do this, will it..."

"It's okay." Shirley Lansing interrupted the other party, "I will make two copies of today's audition tape later, and send one to Geffen Manor and the other to Marmont Manor Hotel."

Yes, the script is really good, and Keanu Reeves is also very popular, but the casting must first consider whether it is suitable. No one wants to invest tens of millions of dollars in theaters. Can't afford to fail like this.

"I have to make that girl quit." Richard Gere said.

He was so determined that his agent had to keep his mouth shut.

Well, it seems that the good thing of trying to pick up a favor for nothing has failed.

Richard is really too conceited.

As a first-line star, he eagerly came to embarrass a newcomer, and even deliberately selected one of the candidates who failed in the previous role audition, and waited in the reception room outside, holding the latter to fight the former.

I have to say, it's a bit cheap to do so.

Especially, they belong to the same agency.

It is entirely conceivable that Kevin Howien's short-protecting smiling tiger would be greatly annoyed by this—this is the new sweetheart girl he personally escorted.

For God's sake, I hope this girl's performance will not be compared too badly by the control group.

After a while, Josie stepped on the time,

She was especially flamboyant today, displaying the aura of the national teenage idol. The whole team included assistant El, nanny Dorota, manager Kevin Howian and one of his executive assistants, makeup artist and stylist. Accompanying them, a large group of people rushed into the studio.

Josie looked around for a week, and then took off the big sunglasses on her face, her chin was still high, and she said, "Hello?"

She wore a classic black suit by Thierry Mugler, which was mature and elegant but not against her harmony. She had an off-the-shoulder double-breasted jacket and slim trousers. Because she was stepping on a pair of high-heeled shoes of the same color, her figure was particularly slender and perfect.

Coupled with retro sunglasses and gorgeous red lips, she doesn't look like a young girl star who has just become famous, but a modern girl with a strong aura.

Richard Gere was dissatisfied with Josie's exaggerated style, and accused: "Don't you and your agent know that this is an important audition? Why did you come here until now! Or, you didn't take the actor's career seriously at all. thing."

"Who is he? He's so angry." Josie turned her face away and asked Kevin: "So, what time is it now? I remember our time plan is just right."

"Hello, Richard." Kevin greeted with a smile, then raised his wrist very cooperatively, revealing his expensive Patek Philippe, and replied: "8:55, there are still five minutes to nine o'clock. "

And nine o'clock in the morning is the audition time they agreed on.

Josie flicked her hair and smirked: "It seems I'm not late?"

Long before the audition, she was reminded by Kevin that Richard Gere, the leading actor in "First Fear", didn't like her, and she didn't like changing the role of Allen to a woman.

Kevin tried to communicate with Richard Gere's agent, but in his opinion, this first-line star is self-willed, basically unable to listen to the persuasion of others, when he has already confirmed something.

That's why Josie's celebrity appearance today, and Kevin also came to support her in person.

"Hello, Josie, you are even more charming." Shirley Lansing was the first to step forward, and kindly gave Josie a kiss on the cheek, as if she was kissing a green dollar bill.

"Oh, Shirley, you are so kind." Josie greeted in a fake way, "How are the children doing recently? I heard that you went to Napa Valley some time ago. It's a good place for vacation."

Although she is only 17 years old, she is very proficient in greeting these topics without any sense of disobedience.

Shirley Lansing was also very helpful. At least on the surface, she also recommended a Napa Valley winery to Josie.

The atmosphere immediately became active, as if nothing unpleasant happened just now.

At this time, Kevin looked at his watch again and reminded Josie, "The time is just right, maybe we should start auditioning?"

Almost everyone present readily agreed.

Josie is already quite familiar with the audition process for roles, but today is a bit different. The producer hopes that she and Richard Gere can perform an impromptu performance about Allen's personality switching on the spot.

When they heard this request before, Josie and her agents felt that someone was obstructing it, but now it seems that this person is obviously the actor Richard Gere of "First Fear".

Regrettably, Josie is least worried about impromptu performances, because she has simulated Alan's personality switching many times, and practiced in front of the mirror almost like an obsession, and she is almost conditioned to form a conditioned reflex for this-this The character really fascinates Josie.

And the scene in the studio today seems to be almost the same as what Josie expected. Richard Gill's arrogance of being a first-line star has been trampled on by two women—Shirley Lansing and Josie Horton. His anger had long been ignited, but it also made his ego even better.

This happens to be somewhat close to the mentality of the actor in the movie "First Fear".

"Fear of the First Degree" tells the story of a lawyer who was deceived by criminals because of his ego. Martin, a famous Chicago lawyer, saw the bloody murder suspect Allen on TV and believed him after a brief conversation in prison. Allen was innocent and decided to help her win the lawsuit that shocked the whole city as a defense lawyer.

However, with the deepening of investigations and court trials, more and more evidence shows that the seemingly innocent girl Allen is the real murderer of this brutal and bloody murder.

Feeling deceitful and angry, Martin went to the prison to question Alan, but found that there was another aggressive and protective personality Joey hidden in Alan's body, and thought of using mental illness to exonerate Alan.

The camera starts rolling—

In the meeting room of the prison, Ellen is sitting at the only table, waiting for the lawyer to arrive.

Allen's defense attorney, Martin Will, walked into the room.

He is tall and strong, and his calm and majestic face has a refined and shrewd temperament, especially when he is straight-faced, it makes people feel timid.

Allen raised his head, showing an innocent and expectant expression.

Martin glanced at Allen faintly, unbuttoned a suit jacket, and asked, "Do you trust me?"

"Yes." Alan didn't know why, and replied, "Of course I trust."

"Very well. But I don't trust you." Martin sat on the chair opposite Allen, his eyes turned cold, "Let me be clear, I'm about to lose the case, and you know why—because my client is fucking lied to me."

Allen shook his head blankly, subconsciously said: "No, I didn't."

"No? Fart!" Martin stood up abruptly, accusing loudly, "Stop farting, stop playing games with me. Everyone thinks you are a murderer, only I don't believe it, but now I don't fucking It’s confirmed, so tell me the truth immediately!”

His voice became higher and higher every sentence, and he kicked away the chair that was in the way, and walked along the table to Alan's side.

At this moment, Richard Gere's aura completely overwhelmed Josie Horton, and his manager couldn't help showing a little complacent and relaxed expression.

Look, the girl was so speechless that she even forgot to answer her lines.

— completely frightened by Richard's outburst!

The author has something to say: I don’t want to code, I just want to fish...
