Hollywood Rhapsody

The author has something to say:——Here is the text of meeting the legendary actress of Catherine——

Katharine Hepburn's nearly 60-year acting career has spanned several types of performances. She is a living legend in Hollywood and has the reputation of "the first lady of American film industry". An actress who can win four Oscars. In 1929, that is, last year, the American Film Institute selected the "Top 1998 Stars of the Century" from the stars of the American film industry in the 20th century. Katharine Hepburn became the greatest actress in the century with an undisputed lead. Katharine Hepburn, who is still alive, has reached the pinnacle altar. This is an insurmountable god!And even though Sarah once joked with Leon, saying that she dreamed of drinking tea with Catherine and so on, she never thought that one day she would actually be able to sit opposite this legendary actress and enjoy tea quietly in the warm afternoon.

This was an extremely low-key private visit, and Sarah did not publicize it to the public, so even though there were rumors that she was summoned by Queen Katherine Hepburn, none of the newspapers and media reported it, and a large part of it was Sarah's public relations team. Another part of the reason is the media's spontaneous respect for Catherine, the legendary actress.As for what the two said in this short meeting, I am afraid that they can only be read in Sarah's memoirs decades later.

"You are fine, almost as I imagined. You seem to be a very independent girl, not the kind of vase girl who is promoted by big studios." Katharine Hepburn is a straightforward woman, even at an old age. It is still the same. She advocates freedom, hates bondage, and has control over her own career, so she also likes younger generations who are more assertive. Not long after she met Sarah, she showed a satisfied smile. With the richness of her 90 years of life From the experience, she could tell at the first glance that Sarah was not a silly girl who could be manipulated by others, which made her interested in talking to Sarah more.

Sarah, on the other hand, acted like a primary school student throughout the whole process, listening carefully and nodding obediently. Even though she was as calm as she was, she couldn't help sweating her palms when she faced Catherine. Compared with the experience of having dinner with Robert De Niro It seemed so ordinary.

After all, Catherine is already ninety years old, so this meeting took less than three hours in total, of which nearly two hours were spent watching "Boys Don't Cry", although Sarah hoped that every minute and every second It is not a waste to listen to the teachings of the legendary predecessors, but watching "Boys Don't Cry" was personally requested by Catherine. This ninety-year-old old man has even watched her "Sarah" and "Requiem for a Dream" , and now the request to watch another one is obviously to make a more accurate assessment of Sarah's acting skills. Seeing the profile of the old man concentrating on watching the movie, Sarah can't help but feel a sense of admiration spontaneously. This is the movie of the older generation. She is professional and persistent, and how can she have this honor.

In the slightly sad ending song, Catherine still kept her eyes on the screen, her mouth smacked a little, as if she was reminiscing, and Sarah's heart had already reached her throat.

"Very good..." It seems that after half a lifetime, Catherine's old voice uttered these few simple words, but it was enough to make Sarah burst into tears.

YES! Sarah clenched her fists hard. The word "very good" seems to be the approval of the old emperor. It is not "great" or "wonderful" but just "good", but it is Hollywood who has said this word for a century The greatest actress ever!For a moment, Sarah even felt that she could own the whole world with these words!She sniffed and blushed and said excitedly, "Your words are good, I am even more honored than winning the Oscar statuette!"

"Ha! Oscar?" Catherine chuckled lightly, and did not make any comments on this award that filmmakers all over the world flock to.

This caused an alarm bell to ring in Sarah's mind, and she calmed down from the excitement, and belatedly remembered the personality of the legendary actress in front of her-even though Katharine Hepburn was nominated for 12 Oscars in her life Awards, and all of them are shortlisted for Best Actress, but she personally believes that it is impossible for actors to portray different roles in different films to make a fair comparison. She never had the idea of ​​attending the invitation, and even the winner of the four awards was a statuette who asked someone to collect it on her behalf.In her decades of Hollywood career, she has only attended the Oscars once, and the only time she did not accept the award was to be the award presenter for her old friend at the 1974th Oscar in 46.

Therefore, Sarah mentioned the statuette in a moment of excitement, but Catherine just laughed it off.This made Sarah quite regretful, as if she was boasting about the beauty of gold to a celebrity who regarded money as dung, and her care for Oscar seemed so vulgar at this time.

"It's okay, it's not a bad thing for young people to get more recognition. In fact, I also want to thank Oscar. If it hadn't been awarded to me four times, I'm afraid I wouldn't be as respected as I am today. Awards are such things as it Important? But it is actually just a pile of scrap metal. Say it is not important? It is undoubtedly the biggest sign of a person’s success, and even the biggest motivation for many practitioners to make progress...Of course, I hope you are not among them .” Catherine patted the back of Sarah’s hand tolerantly, but the last sentence seemed a bit harsh as an elder.

When Sarah was slightly embarrassed and opened her mouth to say something, Catherine changed her previous attitude and became kind again, and even showed a bit of childlike naughtiness in her eyes. She whispered to Sarah like an informer: " That old woman Pauline Kyle actually wants me to make things difficult for you, hmph, she wants me to be the villain who beats you up, but...the whole world knows that I am a straightforward and honest person, so...a person like you There are only young actors, how should I evaluate it?"

Sarah held her breath unconsciously. She was very much looking forward to what Catherine would say to her other than the sentence "good".Could she get more pointers?

However, perhaps as a punishment for her mentioning Oscar, Catherine actually played tricks on purpose. She rubbed her forehead and let out a sigh of relief, and said a little tiredly: "I am old, and my energy is not as good as before, little girl, thank you I flew here specially to chat with an old woman like me. Unfortunately, I’m so sleepy that I don’t even have the strength to write a review for you. But it’s okay, we can still look forward to the Oscars. If you are good enough, I believe the Oscars will give you a statuette... ..."

"..." Sarah could only nod helplessly and obediently when she heard the words. She swallowed the "but" that came to her lips, feeling regretful in her heart.She hoped to get advice from Catherine, and now the old man was teaching her a lesson, a lesson that would make her reflect on it for a long time.

Leonardo led little Noah over. The big one and the young one didn't disturb the conversation between Sarah and Catherine. He didn't go up to say goodbye to Catherine until the conversation was over. It's a pity that most of Catherine's attention was taken The cute little Noah was attracted away, and she was more interested in little Noah than the adoring Leonardo.He even touched the little guy's soft-soft hair, and kissed that chubby little face. For this, Sarah and Leonardo could only exchange a look helplessly, and little Noah went everywhere. The most lovable baby, and the two adults can only stand aside obediently and watch eagerly, and even have a little bit of a little emotion in their hearts to compete with Noah--I really hope to be pampered by the legendary actress The one who touched his head was himself!

It wasn't until the wheelchair was pushed away that Catherine once again gave her eyes to the two "big bodyguards" behind Noah. Looking at Leonardo, Sarah and little Noah standing together, Catherine showed a pure smile on her lips. With the kind smile of the elder, she hooked Noah's little hand, and said softly to Sarah: "This child is very good, and you and this handsome young man are also very good... Better than that old woman Pauline Kyle ..."

Is this the end of the meeting?better?Does this mean...the corners of Sarah's mouth are finally no longer so tight. Although there was a little episode in this pilgrimage, Catherine's last words were enough to make Sarah wake up from sleep laughing.

"So she approved of you?" Michael's call came in almost at the right time. After hearing Sarah's brief introduction, he was obviously relieved on the other end of the phone, and then he hesitated, "But what about Oscar? ? Are we still going to do public relations according to the original plan? Catherine is so free and easy, as her successor, shouldn't you follow suit, and everything depends on your ability?"

"What kind of successor? Whose successor? I'm just Sarah Stern." Sarah sat in the car going to the hotel, and while letting little Noah play with her fingers, she laughed and asked, "Michael, Can you not care about the Oscars? No! Although I am ashamed, I have to admit... I can’t either! I obviously couldn’t get rid of the low-level fun about the Oscars. I'm afraid I can't ignore the awards, and I can't be as free and easy as Catherine."

"Huh~~ That's great, I'm glad we're all equally vulgar." Michael really breathed a sigh of relief this time, even through the phone, Sarah could imagine the other party's relieved gesture of wiping sweat.After laughing happily twice, Michael said to Sarah in a tone that was almost after the disaster, "I'm really afraid that if you answer me 'Oscar is a fart', then the game will be completely over. All the publicity that Boys Don't Cry is going to be for naught."

Leonardo, who had been listening to the phone, laughed when he heard the words. He leaned closer to Sarah's other ear and whispered, "Michael may care more about next year's Oscars than yourself. Tsk, it's still more than half a year away, yet he is already nervous. It's done like this!"

Sarah suppressed a smile, and looked at Leonardo until the phone was hung up, and sighed with a bit of remorse: "Michael really cares more about the results of "Boys Don't Cry" than I do...Have you realized it? Cannes Film Festival Michael's appetite has been raised, and now he is like a young man in his early twenties who has just entered the society, ambitious and ready to do a big job. But Hollywood is not his family's world after all, too much development momentum may not be a good thing, you What do you think? Is Starlight too high-profile lately? "Requiem for a Dream" won the Cannes Award, "Harry Potter" has a large-scale casting, "The Blair Witch" early-stage publicity has begun to show results, and even "Lord of the Rings" "We also got involved in that big project, and this kind of rhythm is completely beyond what a newly established small company can achieve."

"And the second season of "Rising Star" will start next week, and it will inevitably be the headlines throughout the summer. From this point of view, our performance is indeed far superior to that of new companies in the same period, right? I haven't paid attention to it Other companies are at what level, but participating in two big productions at the same time, not lacking in box office awards, and a successful TV talent show, it sounds like it is definitely not something a new company can do, that is, Warner, Paramount, etc. This kind of old studio only has one or two big productions a year, right? It’s the limit to develop two to three big projects at the same time, right?” Leonardo rarely talked with Sarah about the company’s development, this is not his forte, he His interests are all in movies, but now Sarah can clearly hear his progress. This man is learning, trying to keep up with Sarah and Michael's work rhythm.

"Honey, when did you start paying attention to the company's operations? This is a surprise to me." Sarah put a hand on Leonardo's cheek, and under the innocent gaze of little Noah, gave her boyfriend A reward kiss, "Yes, you are absolutely right, that's why I think Starlight's development pace is a bit too fast, which makes me always feel like I'm going to lose control. Because I can't make progress on the company's current projects. Accurate assessment, I can't figure out how powerful Michael's huge network is. I even worry about whether the company's employees are enough, and whether the company's capital chain may collapse. "The Lord of the Rings" is really a bit of a challenge for Starlight, and to be honest, I doubt that Michael secretly paid for the company's capital increase..."

Sarah never took the initiative to talk to Leonardo about this, because she knew that Leonardo would not be interested, so when she was confused and worried, she often kept it alone in her heart, or occasionally complained to Ian Two sentences.But now Leonardo showed a curious look, beckoning her to continue,

This reaction made Sarah quite happy. She hugged the little Noah sitting between the two of them on her knees, leaned into Leonardo's arms, and then smiled and said: "You know the current president of our company How much is the asset? How much cash can be used for investment? If you are interested, I can tell you slowly, including the benefits brought by "Rising Star" to the company, the movie "Sarah" Box office and DVD payback cycle, that stuff can take a while to talk about, are you sure you want to hear it?"

Sarah suspected that boring numbers might not be Leonardo's style, but her boyfriend finally asked to listen. Of course, she hoped to speak clearly. She also took this opportunity to alienate her own thoughts. After returning from Cannes, she was filming again. , and busy graduating from high school, and flying here to meet the legendary actress Catherine, the books in her mind are actually a bit messy.

So before officially entering the university campus, Sarah accidentally got a chance to be a teacher during the summer vacation. , Sarah's business management class officially started.And she didn't know that this course would change the careers and even life plans of the three people in the car. Of course, the third person was not the ignorant little Noah, but Ada Stern, this distant cousin who is currently Sarah's assistant, even listened more seriously than Leonardo.

-----Here is the review of the previous article from Jinjiang---Time is a little tight today, and I didn't sort out the information, so I posted the part of Sarah and Leonardo's first kiss. Haha, let's recall the handsome Leon. The scene of a strong kiss, okay, thank you for supporting the original version,

In addition, some readers are very interested in my Leonardo Danmei essay, hahahaha, in fact, I already have a brain hole, and the CP has also thought about it. Next year, the target is also a real person in Hollywood. Hohoho, do you really want to know? ?I guess someone might have thought of that, but not Toby.

Then, if this article is going to be written, Leon is the gong! ! !I don’t rule out the possibility of occasional small interests, but my handsome Leon must be the one above most of the time...Dalin hopes that one day my handsome Leon can spread all over Jinjiang Meiwen, ahahahaha...Please ignore this stupid author~~meow~ ＞▽＜

Now that we've come to this point, let's just post a section of what Leon asked to do in this article, let's all review it...

"Leon...Brother...No, no, not papa..." Leonardo was teaching Noah one-on-one in his arms, but this superstar who had fascinated thousands of girls was full of charm in front of the little baby Nothing, not even as attractive as the teething biscuits in Jason's hand.

When Sarah came in, she saw Leon and her son staring at each other. The baby son was obviously getting a little impatient with the strange sorghum. Whoever wants to call him brother, don't disturb the baby grinding his teeth!On the other hand, Leonardo looked frustrated, he had no way to deal with the little guy, and then he realized that his little plot had not only failed, but was also caught by the child's mother, the handsome guy fell into embarrassment for a second, even The arms holding little Noah were stiff.

"Hey, back so fast!" Leonardo said as he had to tighten his arms to prevent the baby from falling to the ground because he was so excited to see his mother.

"Hmm." Sarah snorted and raised her brows teasingly at Leonardo, "Should I come back later? Uncle Leon?"

"Aunt Sarah, you are getting less and less cute." Leonardo pouted.

He put the little Noah, who had been struggling all the time, on the ground, and the little guy immediately wobbled into Sarah's arms with his short legs, and then turned his head and pointed at Leonardo babbling. Complaining to her mother, that posture seems to have just been inhumanly abused by Wei Shushu!

"Okay, mom knows." Sarah hugged little Noah and kissed twice, then slapped Leonardo twice, and continued to coax, "Hey, we don't care about this bad uncle, today we are together It's our birthday, no one can bully us! Bad! He's too bad!"

Little Noah blinked his beautiful big eyes, nodded in satisfaction and echoed: "Bad!"

"Pfft..." Jason and Arthur, who were watching the show, both laughed.

On the other hand, Leonardo's face looked as if he had just been stepped on by an elephant, and he was tense, but he quickly climbed out of the depression that was rejected by the little baby, and raised his chin to Sarah to show a smile. He smiled meaningfully: "It's okay, I don't mind playing the bad uncle for a day in order to make the baby happy, but... Sarah, guess what I found upstairs?"

"What?" Sarah was stunned for a moment, but soon her eyes widened, and the arc of Leonardo's mouth became wider and wider.

"Come on, baby, let's enjoy it again!" Leonardo took little Noah back into his arms, nodded to Arthur and Jason, and walked to the stairs first, still walking. While in a good mood, he said to little Noah who was babbling and wanting a mother, "Little Noah, your mother is a dishonest and bad girl."

Sarah didn't follow immediately, but looked at Arthur questioningly.

Arthur spread his hands innocently: "Noah wet his pants before, so Mr. DiCaprio offered to help..."

"Go to my bedroom to get clothes?" Sarah's shoulders drooped, and she followed Jason up the stairs under the watchful eyes of Jason.

Sure enough, as soon as Sarah entered her bedroom, she saw Leonardo holding little Noah and pointing at the poster beside the bed: "Yes, this handsome guy is me, haha, baby, it seems that I am not a bad boy!" Uncle, I am your mother's dream girl, right? Does she look at this poster every day before going to bed?"

"..." Sarah rolled her eyes with her hands on her forehead.

"Hey, Sarah, I never knew you were so obsessed with me." Leonardo looked at Sarah's cute white eyes but smiled more and more proudly.

"That's just a movie poster." Sarah's tone was a bit unconvincing, and she was still struggling to die.

"Really? Next to a classic poster full of signatures, Dudu put a close-up of me?" Leonardo turned the baby in his arms, and said softly, "Look, you. Mom I'm shy!"

"Huh..." Sarah shrugged her shoulders and took a deep breath, and her mood was also withdrawn from the embarrassment of the initial secret exposure. She seemed to be about to break the pot, and she folded her arms and raised her chin to meet Leonardo With smiling eyes, he admitted frankly, "Okay! I admit, I found your poster on purpose to hang on the bedside. Not only that, I also send sweet goodnight kisses to the poster every day before going to bed. I even More than once I dreamed that I replaced Kate and hugged and kissed you on the big boat, yes, I really did, but so what?"

Sarah took a step forward, and continued under Leonardo's stunned gaze: "I told you a long time ago, Leon, remember? I admire you the most on this earth, I have already told you I love you so much!"

While Little Noah blinked his eyes and watched curiously, Sarah and Leonardo didn't speak again. Everything just seemed to be a performance that was caught off guard. It shocked the audience and also stunned the actors. Being deliberately lowered, the ripples of the air flow seemed to appear at this moment of stillness. Sarah's gaze began to wander a little, and she was not sure what the consequences of the impulsive words just said would be.

"W... Well... I'm just a movie fan, I just like Titanic too much..." Sarah swallowed nervously, trying to ease the embarrassment, "You know how obsessed I am with that movie, I just... en..."

just what?But before he finished speaking, he was kissed by the man in front of him!

Sarah's eyes widened in disbelief, until she felt the real touch of her lips, and was hugged tightly by the man in front of her, did she confirm that it was not a dream, her eyelashes trembled slightly, and she closed her eyes docilely.

"..." The little Noah who was suddenly put on the bed raised his head in a daze, with his mouth open, not knowing what his mother and the bad uncle were doing.

"..." Jason, the gossip party squatting outside the door, was also stunned. He subconsciously covered his mouth with his hands and swallowed the "WHAT!" - he was really just curious to take a look. , I didn't expect there to be such a fierce easter egg!

Sarah didn't know how long they kissed, anyway, every corner of her mouth was swept by Leonardo's tongue, if it wasn't for little Noah's babbling voice getting louder and louder, she really wasn't sure about it. How far will the kiss go, but the psychological age of 30 years old was kissed to such an extent that she didn't know where to go. Sarah licked her lips while covering her hot cheeks.

"So..." Leonardo picked up little Noah who was trying to climb his legs like a pole, licked his own lips as well, and asked Sarah with a smile, "Is it just because of that big ship? Tell me I, Sarah, are you really just obsessed with Titanic?"

"I..." Sarah looked down at her toes, and found that it was difficult for her to maintain a consistent calm at this moment. Her methodical brain of science and engineering crashed when she was kissed, and now the rhythm is completely beyond her It is true that she is infatuated with Leonardo, but she never thought that something could happen with this idol, just like people love the scorching sun, chasing the scorching sun, but it is difficult for you to envision the scene of taking the sun as your own, Leon To Sarah, Nadou is like the sun that loves to chase but never dares to extravagantly pursue.

But... why not?A voice in Sarah's heart was ecstatically shouting, urging, urging—"Why not? Don't you want to? Can you bear to miss it? Can you resist the temptation? Admit it, you Can't wait!"

------------------- Next, is the source of the one I want to do above -------------------- ----------------

When Sarah found Leonardo, he was watching the clips of "Sarah" with Jason and greeted the editor. Sarah couldn't wait to give Leonardo the first draft of "Brokeback Mountain" script: " Look at this, originally I was planning to show you after "Sarah", but because of Matthew Shepard, Anne and I finished the script ahead of schedule, "Brokeback Mountain" is about the love of two men , It’s a very good story, so I want you to play it.”

"Annie? The script you and Anne Hathaway worked out? And it's the love of two men?" Leonardo pinched the corner of the script with two fingers in disgust, and looked at Sarah with distrust, as if even I didn't even have the courage to open the script.

"Be serious, of course it's not Hathaway, Anne Proulx, a very good novelist, she is the original author of "Brokeback Mountain"." Sarah folded her arms and looked down at the sitting Leonardo, using a An arrogant tone of "Would you like to watch it or not" warned, "This is a good story, and it might even become a classic if the right director can be hired, but since you are not interested... OK, just don't regret it in the future! "

"No, no, I seem to regret it... You have never praised your own novel so much, classic? Do you think it can become a classic?" Leonardo grabbed Sarah's arm and shook it twice, and then quickly Flipping through the script, he recalled, "I remember you warned me... when you made fun of me and Jason..."

"Do you remember? The love scene between men and men is the special hobby of Little Angel Oscar. Although you and Jason will probably never play in this lifetime, but if you want, we can choose a more handsome partner for "Brokeback Mountain". Sarah imitated Leonardo's tone at that time, "What did you say at that time? For Oscar, to satisfy me..."

"I'm willing to do anything!" Leonardo repeated his words cooperatively, and then he touched his chin and immediately fought for his own rights, "No matter what the story is, I will be the one above!"

"Are you sure?" Sarah pursed her lips and scanned Leonardo from head to toe with suspicious eyes, then shook her head in embarrassment.

"COMEON! What expression do you have! Are you doubting my ability as a man? No, this is absolutely intolerable! It seems that I should use practical actions to defend my dignity as a man!" Leonardo immediately looked like a man. The Persian cat, whose hair was frowned, jumped up from the chair, grabbed Sarah's small shoulders, and immediately trapped it between the wall and his arms.

"..." Sarah was stunned for two seconds before realizing that she was caught off guard by the wall!As expected, a man should not be provoked in some respects, but looking at the peerless beauty in front of him, he really has the urge to bully him. What is the name that is very popular in later generations?Peerless little... Well, Sarah blinked, she didn't say what was in her heart in a sensible manner, but raised her hands in a gesture of surrender, and urged Leonardo to read the script first.

------------------And the confession before Bidong-------------------

"To be honest, I didn't expect you to recommend this type of role." Leonardo's expression was a little weird, "Do you really want me to play? These kiss scenes and even bed scenes... Can you imagine those scenes? I was in a tent with another man..."

"What's the point? I've watched your "Total Eclipse of Love" many times." Sarah shrugged, and as soon as she spoke, she found that Leonardo's expression became more and more weird, almost wrinkled into a ball, she He coughed twice in embarrassment, took the initiative to hold Leonardo's hand, and muttered in a low voice, "To be honest, I can't help but think of you at the first time when I see stories and movies I like. I would imagine that the Skywalker you played in "Star Wars" must be handsome out of the galaxy, you must be cool to play "The Matrix", and you will play "Brokeback Mountain"... Those suppressed feelings are a test of acting skills, I will imagine You hold back your tears and remember the last scene of your lover, you know? Just thinking about it makes my heart ache, and I look forward to you being able to perform this scene perfectly to touch more people."

Sarah felt Leonardo's hand tremble, and held her instead, exerting a little force.She couldn't help pursing her lips, and softly said the last sentence: "You know... I just think this is a good movie not to be missed. I just can't help but want to give you the best."

Leonardo stared at Sarah, neither agreeing nor refusing, he maintained the posture of propping up the wall with one hand, as if reminiscing everything he had just heard, dismantling each word and letter bit by bit After careful recollection, it seems that there is a gentle force conquering him, urging him, taking away the control of his body, just wanting to kiss the beautiful girl in front of him immediately, his heart and eyes are full of his girl.

"I just can't help but want to give you the best..." This is probably the most beautiful love words he has ever heard in his life, right?Leonardo thought this in his heart while kissing Sarah.
