Hollywood Rhapsody

"The new movie that Leon is preparing? He didn't tell me!" Sarah blinked blankly while holding the phone. What movie is Leonardo preparing for her to participate in?Didn't he say he was tossing his solo movie with Harvey Weinstein?I don't know what kind of book it is, but after so long, the filming hasn't started yet!Probably a miscarriage?Otherwise, why hasn't she heard of Leonardo's works like this in her previous life?

"Oh, I probably heard it wrong." Michael immediately changed the subject. Since Leonardo was still holding back, he was probably planning to give Sarah a surprise. He smiled and changed the subject, "I don't know Disney Where did I hear the news that you have started acting again? I sent a script this morning. I hope to catch up with the elf craze of "Lord of the Rings". Please play a couple with Orlando Bloom. I probably flipped the script Turns out, it's a story about pirates."

Michael's tone on the phone was a bit awkward. The Starlight Company is developing rapidly. The box office results of the two magical blockbusters have amazed many people. The Starlight Company has made a lot of money, but it is still incomparable to a big crocodile like Disney. Yes, so although Michael Ovitz is getting better and better, he still can't let go of the past career trough.Sarah knew this little emotion well, so she was even more puzzled. Michael didn't reject Disney directly, but seemed to recommend her to participate in the show.

"Pirates? Have you read the script and thought it was good?" Sarah realized right away that Disney's new movie was probably the famous "Pirates of the Caribbean". All the brilliance is on Captain Jack alone, and the heroine Elizabeth...is another vase!

Is she, the Oscar queen, going to be a vase professional?

"This should be a man's play, as the heroine... well, even if it is a heroine, it is still a vase. However, Disney's salary is very high, even higher than that of the male lead. They don't have much confidence in the movie's box office, so they don't hesitate. Spend a lot of money to invite you, and with you and Orlando Bloom, the most beautiful pair of elves, as a gimmick, it will probably boost the box office." Michael's tone was a bit tangled, and he could hear that he was a little moved and hesitating——

"Except for "Mission: Impossible 2", you haven't filmed commercial films other than Starlight, so there is no fixed price for your remuneration. Disney's direct offer of 2000 million can be regarded as a bloody investment and full of sincerity. Although we We all know that it is exaggerated to say that once 2000 million will always be 2000 million, but if the price of your first commercial film after winning the statuette can reach 2000 million, even if you are in the 2000 million club, there is only Jolie in the whole of Hollywood. An actress like Ya Roberts has such an honor. Therefore, this invitation from Disney is not only worth 2000 million, but also a recognition of your current status...I...I think this is a good opportunity."

"2000 million!?" Sarah couldn't help but be surprised when she heard this number. Although many people thought she had already entered the A-list after she won the Oscar, she left Hollywood to finish her studies and released a movie. All of them are vase roles, including "Mission: Impossible", "Lord of the Rings" and "Gangs of New York" which have not yet been released.And how much is her box office appeal?It's really hard to say that the box office hit of "Harry Potter" cannot be attributed to her role as Lily Potter, and the box office hit of "Lord of the Rings" should not be attributed to Alvin the Elf.

"Strictly speaking, the only box office movies of your monoclonal antibody are "Ten Things I Hate About You" and "Boys Don't Cry". They are all low-cost and high-return. This is also a proof of your strength." Michael's voice hesitated, Because he himself knows that using the results of 800 years ago to talk about things seems to be a little less convincing.

"So why on earth did Disney give me 2000 million? A favor for me for no reason?" Sarah couldn't believe that Disney was such a fool with so much money.

"The production cost of "Underworld" was 2000 million, but you were paid 1000 million in remuneration. Disney's pirate film costs hundreds of millions. Giving you 2000 million can not only borrow the popularity of "Lord of the Rings", but also can be used to pay [-] million yuan. If you sell you a favor, you can even shake hands with me and make peace with me. If you ask me, they won’t lose anything in this deal.” Michael Ovitz snorted, “Disney’s main market is teenagers. But the newcomers they have promoted in recent years have all been suppressed by "Rising Star", and two youth campus movies have also failed miserably, I guess they still want to have a foot in the film production of "Rising Star."

Sarah didn't regard Disney as an enemy. It would be best if such an established studio could get along well. However, Michael was angry in the past. They had no cooperation with Disney's headquarters. Instead, they cooperated with Harvey Weinstein's cooperation is quite pleasant, and even that guy Ian has the idea of ​​poaching someone.Now, Michael seemed to let go, and Sarah also began to consider the possibility of participating in "Pirates of the Caribbean"—

She has no interest in "Underworld", but "Pirates of the Caribbean" is a series that swept the global box office, and compared with "Lord of the Rings" Elf Alvin purely playing soy sauce, although Elizabeth is a vase, it is also a vase with a lot of drama, at least There is still some performance space, plus the 2000 million sincerity offered by Disney... It's just that the schedule is a problem. She is still thinking about finishing her studies ahead of schedule in the second half of this year and filming a "graduation work" for Katherine Hepburn. She only remembered that Katharine Hepburn passed away in 2003, but she didn't know when, so the first movie she made after graduation was undoubtedly dedicated to "The Mentor"!

Sarah told Michael her thoughts, and the other party pondered for a while before slowly saying: "I have read the script of "Cold Mountain", the role is not suitable for you, Weinstein is more inclined to invite Nicole Key Deman, he would like to invite you to play a supporting actress, so put this book aside for the time being."

"No problem, I'm not too fond of "Cold Mountain" either." Sarah snorted softly, she is not a favorite forever, after all, she is too young, and many directors don't want her to play a mature vicissitudes experience The kind of character who suffers from ups and downs thinks that this is too far from her personal image. Even though she has reached a new height in "Boys Don't Cry", in the hearts of most directors and producers, she is still young and beautiful Pronouns... So Sarah is not guaranteed to win any script she likes. For example, in the previous "Mulholland Drive", and in this "Cold Mountain", Harvey Weinstein chose the more mature Nick Kidman instead of her.

""Chicago" is a good choice, but it's a pity that it doesn't match your schedule, so we rejected it before, but it has already started filming." Michael said that he was quite depressed looking for a job for the current script. How could there be so many? A good script for Sarah just happens to happen?He even thought of Matt Damon's unfinished script, "Your ex-boyfriend is quite talented. I think the script I wrote before is very interesting, but given your current awkward breakup, it's not good. Urge him to finish the manuscript quickly."

Sarah was embarrassed when she heard the words. Although she and Matt Damon broke up peacefully, and after the breakup, they could even have a happy meal like friends, but let Sarah take the initiative to ask Matt Damon to urge the progress of the script?forget it!People write scripts to give to their girlfriends. Now that girlfriends have become friends, it is normal not to write scripts at all, but Matt Damon is kind and not so narrow-minded.

Sarah was thinking in her heart, and Michael on the other end had already changed the subject: "Let's talk about the script later, let's talk about the Oscar red carpet for now. If you are interested in that Disney pirate movie, why don't you talk to Orlando?" Bloom walks the red carpet together, it makes sense to show up with your co-stars, and since you're single again, it doesn't hurt to have an affair."

"Orlando Bloom?" Sarah heard the word "gossip", but couldn't help but think of the rumors about "the elf prince coming out of the closet" in her previous life. She knew it was a rumor, but she still wandered uncontrollably.

"Don't like it? Why don't you stay with Leon?" Michael's voice sounded a little emotional, "You two have been too low-key this year. In the end, you have achieved some results in special effects, but Leon has been Tossing about myself, the only achievement in 2001 was the plane that did not board the 911! Hey, if you are in the mood, please enlighten him and ask him what he is doing, you can’t continue Let it go to waste!"

As a result, when Sarah really had a heart to save all sentient beings and obediently enlightened Leonardo, she realized that she had been fooled by Michael.

"Are you trying to be a producer yourself? The preparations are almost done? Want to invite me to participate?" Sarah heard Leonardo's invitation, a little incredulous.Michael actually asked her to enlighten Leonardo?What are you kidding?Where did this guy waste his life?Obviously, the production of the movie has already started, okay?Sarah is holding her second statuette in her hand at this moment, and presenting it to her dear!prize!Chia!Bin!Standing in the backstage of the Oscar Awards Ceremony, staring wide-eyed——

In the end, she followed the advice of her public relations team and walked the red carpet with Orlando Bloom, which also made the whole ceremony have to sit dry, and she had to wait for the Vanity Fair dinner to chat with Mr. DiCaprio about life.But I didn't expect that their first contact tonight would be on the awards stage!The Oscar Organizing Committee used some careful thinking. When Leonardo stepped onto the stage to present the Best Visual Effects Award, the camera stopped for a second on Sarah's face.And when Leonardo uttered the name "Sarah Stern", whether it was the audience at the scene or in front of the TV, they all felt their ears tremble. It is clear that Sarah is not the only winner, but When he finally pronounced Sarah's name, Leonardo obviously paused, his voice was a little gentle.As for the last time when Sarah and other people in the studio walked onto the stage and took over her second statuette from Leonardo, the applause on the scene was even more unusually warm, and there were even obvious booing whistles. This kind of lively reaction seems to be awarding not just a formal technical award, but a more popular best actor and actress award.

The actress really won the technical award! ?This is undoubtedly one of the biggest highlights of this awards ceremony.Even when Sarah was backstage, she could still hear the host's incredible reaction to her winning the award.But in fact, including outpost awards such as the Union Award and the British Academy of Film Awards, as long as there is a project with visual effects, it will be given to "Lord of the Rings", so this award is actually the least suspenseful!Everyone was so lively because of Sarah, a special winner.

However, Sarah is obviously more interested in the award presenter in front of her than the second statuette in her hand: "The script has been prepared since July last year? Isn't that..." Thinking of the time when they had just appeared in "Cats There was a brief cooperation with the crew of "Mouse Game", and Sarah couldn't help but think about it.

"I heard you said that you were still in class during the holidays, so I asked Michael and found out that you wanted to graduate earlier." Leonardo explained frankly, "I also contacted Katharine Hepburn's family later to find out The physical condition of her old man is indeed very bad, so I want to put this movie on the agenda in advance. Compared with the biography of Katharine Hepburn's life, the age span of Katharine Hepburn's role in this movie will not be very large , it should be easier for you to perform. So, even if you want to act in "Katharine Hepburn" in the future, you can use my movie to practice your skills first."

"..." Sarah didn't respond immediately, she was surprised that Leonardo had thought so much in private!She herself once thought of making a "Katharine Hepburn Biography", but Katharine Hepburn's acting career spans decades, and such a long age span makes her a little uncertain about her acting skills, and Leonardo has always done it for her. She thought about it.But Leonardo's movie project about Howard Hughes should be "The Aviator", right?Katharine Hepburn in it is just one of Howard Hughes' many women. Although there are rumors that Katharine Hepburn is the last woman Howard Hughes really loved, but...

Sarah felt that she could be in this film. She was very excited to play Katharine Hepburn herself, which was obviously a very interesting challenge.But such a work cannot be regarded as Sarah’s [graduation gift], at most it can be regarded as an appetizer and dessert for the elderly Katharine Hepburn-"Look, I tried to play you as a successor, isn't it good? Is there any How old were you back then?" Teacher Bo En smiled, it's okay, but as for the main meal after dessert... it seems that we have to look for it again!

"I heard from Michael that you were looking for a movie that could beat Boys Don't Cry, Sarah, and I have no doubt you could do better, but it's so hard to find a script like this, so you might as well try another A way to pay tribute to Katharine Hepburn? I have already drawn up the outline of the story and written most of the script, so you can read it before you think about it." Leonardo thought that Sarah was going to refuse, so he quickly added a few words, "Leave the script, director and other preparations to me. Don't worry, as long as you participate in the show, you can start filming at any time when you graduate in the second half of the year and are ready...Of course, if Michael helps you find a better script during this period , you can pause at any time and go to shoot another movie first."

This is equivalent to everything centering on Sarah. As long as Sarah wants to, she can start filming immediately after finishing her studies. As for whether the script can't pass the test, whether the crew can be formed well, Leonardo has full control over it!This kind of high-standard treatment by Mr. DiCaprio's VIP service made Sarah extremely flattered. For a moment, looking at the familiar face in front of her, Sarah's nose couldn't help but sour——Oscar There is so much drama behind the scenes!There is a feeling of going back in time, also in the backstage of the Oscar awards ceremony, she and Leonardo are also standing opposite each other, only a year apart, last year the one would just talk about his miss and ask her to "come back to him" But now the big boy is seriously thinking about her and sharing her worries.

In the next second, as if he could hear Sarah's inner voice, Leonardo took a small step forward and gently took her hand: "If Michael finds a suitable notebook, as long as you need I will play the role, and I am always on call as the male lead and supporting actor...Sarah, you don't have to come back to me, because this time, no matter what you want to do, I will be by your side."

The author has something to say: Leon [wagging his tail for praise]: Mmm!Get up wherever you fall!If the backstage says something wrong, the backstage corrects it, I am one of the top ten young people who know their mistakes and correct them

Sarah [turning her face lazily]: I'm not interested in the top ten young people, I just want to find a good script, hey ╮(╯▽╰)╭

Matt Damon [hehehe]: The script?Feeling upset and out of ideas

Sarah [catch the stupid author and shake it violently]: Can you turn back time?Please finish writing the script before breaking up!You can't withhold my welfare for the sake of Linxing Lizi!

The stupid author whose eyes are staring at gold stars: ...
