Hollywood Rhapsody

The author has something to say: - here is the text

Although the pregnancy incident has proved to be an oolong, the media will certainly not let this rumor go so kindly, and put two rounds of headlines to speculate on sales for a few days, until the first Teen Choice Awards ends, and fans are invited to participate in the press conference At the end, this matter finally came to an end.Sarah also boarded the plane to Boston at the end of the press conference, disappointing the paparazzi who wanted to capture the sweet photos of the golden boy and girl. When Leonardo was photographed returning to the residence alone, All the paparazzi have question marks on their heads, where is the heroine?Has the world evaporated?

A few hours later, a bleary-eyed Sarah showed up at Logan Airport, rushing back to Cambridge on the day of college registration. Her schedule was tight, and college life seemed to have a sense of urgency from the very beginning. .

Walking out of the passage, Sarah saw an extremely eye-catching golden color at first sight. Even in this country where there is no shortage of blond hair, Ian's hair color is still the most beautiful.Looking at the young man with the "twilight attribute", Sarah walked out and unconsciously murmured, "During thousands of years, in the boundless wilderness of time, No early step, no late step..."

When she realized what she said, Sarah shook her head in disbelief, and retorted: "This sentence is not appropriate, it should be searched for him thousands of Baidu... No, it's not right! Why should I look for him? Sure enough, it's because of lack of sleep that you're in a trance? It's because the hair is too beautiful!"

"What are you talking to yourself?" Ian couldn't help asking curiously as he saw the mumbling girl getting closer.

"No, I'm just studying a line." Sarah made up a random reason, then tilted her head and asked, "Did Arthur ask you to pick me up? Thank you so much. Actually, I can take a taxi by myself."

"It's okay, I think it's necessary, such a beautiful girl walks alone, she might encounter a pervert." Ian's tone was light, seeing that Sarah was packing lightly and without luggage, he turned around first go.

"..." Sarah was stunned for a moment, then touched her nose and silently followed, and secretly rolled her eyes at the back of the golden head-the whole person was cold!It seems that the young master is in a bad mood?Getting angry?

Sensing Ian's aura that strangers should not enter, Sarah tactfully shut up and sat in the co-pilot playing with her fingers. An awkward atmosphere gradually rose in the closed car.

"The awards ceremony last night was wonderful." Five minutes later, Ian was the first to break the silence.

"Eh... you mean the last part?" Sarah smiled awkwardly, "Leonardo is still a headstrong boy, he always poses for a kiss!"

"And the subsequent press conference was also very successful. Dawn has already sent the video, but I don't think it is necessary to post it to Prophecy.com. The fan group was very lively last night, and there have been many comments on the community forum. The post of the press conference, this is hot enough, no one will doubt Leonardo's character now, everyone knows that he is an innocent victim of crazy movie fans." Ian's tone is completely flat working mode, but then The words that came down were obviously sarcasm, "Leonardo DiCaprio is 4 years older than you, but it sounds like he has always been an ignorant child."

"..." Sarah laughed dryly twice, and secretly muttered in her heart: My mother is already 32!Not only Leon, you're just a brat too!

The car fell into silence again. Sarah knew that Ian didn't talk much, so she had no choice but to joke to herself: "Maybe my mother loves too much, so I like to coax children? Men... With all due respect, most men don't care if they become fathers." There is often a bit of childishness hidden in the bones, and I don’t think it’s a bad thing, at least Leon’s occasional little impulsiveness has brought me a lot of surprises.”

Ian raised his eyebrows and snorted softly: "It can be used as your psychological research topic—whether men will still be childish after becoming fathers..."

"No, this subject is too far away from my life. After all, Little Noah doesn't have a father to be my research subject." Sarah laughed and shook her head.

"Sorry..." Ian's tone was a little stiff.

"It's okay, this topic is not off-limits for me, we are doing well now, and the man is just a dispensable existence, you know what I mean, biologically speaking, he just provides It's just a sperm, that's all! I'll just treat him as an anonymous donor to the sperm bank!" Sarah shrugged indifferently, and couldn't help laughing twice after she finished speaking.

"..." The car suddenly braked suddenly at this moment, and Sarah rushed forward due to inertia, and was severely strangled by the seat belt.

"Cough, sorry." Ian pointed forward apologetically, "A wild cat jumped out just now."

"..."

Sarah rubbed her strangled shoulder and decided to close her eyes to catch up on sleep. Ian also kept quiet. The car drove very smoothly all the way, and Sarah really fell asleep without knowing it.When they were woken up, they had already stopped in front of a small dark red building.In the yard outside the house, Arthur was trimming the branches of the flowers and plants, while the little Noah, who was more than two years old, was sitting beside a small red bucket, waving the small shovel in his hand, working in a dignified manner, after 8 o'clock The morning sun shone on his small body, and his golden hair shimmered. He was like a happy little prince, with a loyal little milk dog beside him. Pulling a heart will melt.

"Noah, Noah, mother's little angel!" Sarah ignored Arthur, and rushed forward to kiss her precious son's fleshy little face.

Little Noah was so kissed that he shrunk his neck and giggled non-stop. He took the time to look around behind Sarah, wondering why he didn't see the handsome Uncle Leon.

"Your Uncle Leon is making a movie, and it will be a few months before he comes to see you with a new toy. Noah, be good. Let's call Uncle Leon." Sarah picked up her son and turned to invite Ian Sitting at home, but the other party didn't seem to be interested in it. He shook his head and turned to leave. The car started and rushed out in an instant. Sarah didn't even have time to say goodbye.

"School syndrome? Uncle's visit? What happened to Ian today?" Sarah muttered wonderingly, but soon her attention returned to her son. Little Noah ran to the phone as soon as he entered the house, obviously still thinking about it. For Sarah, wait to call dear Uncle Leon for a new toy!

Uncle Leon on the other end of the phone didn't disappoint the little guy either, he boldly promised to buy a carload of new toys to fill little Noah's room.

"Stuff it up? My dear, don't make promises to children easily, little Noah will take it seriously." Sarah grabbed the receiver and reminded Leonardo to keep his promise, "If you don't fill up the room by then, my son will Will be disappointed."

"Don't worry, when I finish filming "Memory Fragments", I will go to the toy factory to move the goods, and I will make sure that Prince Noah will be satisfied." Leonardo patted his chest to promise, and after joking around, he still did not forget to ask Sarah about her next schedule. "Is there still time to register in the afternoon? You haven't rested all night, so you can take a nap first."

"But when I think about the start of school, I'm so excited that I can't sleep at all, and I will be assigned a dormitory today. Although I don't live long, at least I have to make my bed. Ha! Dormitory! I don't know what kind of dormitory I will meet. My friend, I hope to be a cheerful girl, but don’t be your movie fan, God knows if those girls will ask me for your autograph, it’s a headache just thinking about it.” Sarah made coffee for herself with a little emotion Humph said, thinking that her roommate had a high probability of being Leon's fan, she couldn't help but have the urge to touch her forehead.

"Hey, this reminds me, honey, try to dress up as ugly as possible, and it's better to wear a hat and mask before going out." Leonardo was quite resentful on the phone, "You have to study hard, don't Hooked up by those nerds, there are so many boys in estrus in college, I'm afraid I can't count my rivals in love, it's too bad!"

"..." Sarah was speechless. Now Leonardo is like a lion who is extremely protective of food. He suspected that Heath Ledger had "unfavorable intentions" towards her before, but now he has to be wary of a classmate that Sarah has never met. they!

To be honest, she is double majoring in psychology and computer science, and her homework will undoubtedly be very heavy. I am afraid that she will go to the library just after school starts, so why would she want to find a handsome guy?What's more, in Cambridge, she has no reason to continue to be the shopkeeper. No matter the prophecy.com, tsk, how about taking a good rest while going to school?According to this rhythm, she may still be very busy, but this kind of busyness is something she is good at handling. Compared with Hollywood, campus and company are obviously a beautiful paradise for her.

And, it's full of surprises!

"Natalie Portman?" Sarah looked at the girl in front of her, her voice was a little unreal, "The freshman director actually put the two of us together!!"

There is a reason for Sarah to lament this way. At Harvard, the freshman director will spend the whole summer screening the application forms submitted by the students, and finally match students with different interests and backgrounds. This is a common practice in dormitory allocation. Based on this principle, Sarah and Natalie should never be put together. After all, their situations have many similarities. study.

Natalie, who is familiar with the principles of dormitory allocation, was obviously also surprised. She was stunned for two seconds before she stepped forward to give Sarah a warm hug, and sighed with a smile: "I didn't expect, I really didn't expect to meet here, see Come on, we don't need to introduce ourselves anymore!"

"Indeed, this face is already the best business card." Sarah shrugged and exchanged simple greetings with Natalie. "Star Wars" swept the box office, and Natalie praised Sarah's acting skills. From movies to studies, from Hollywood to Harvard, the two made complaints again, and their relationship became closer instantly...

Neither Sarah nor Natalie went to pack their luggage immediately, but sat on the soft chairs in the living room and waited happily. Who would be the third dormitory member?The school won't cram in another actor, will it?

Soon, the third girl opened the door, and Sarah's surprise escalated again. Chinese?This girl turned out to be a fellow!Looking at the familiar black hair and yellow skin, Sarah really wanted to ask in Chinese, "Honey, did you bring Laoganma hot sauce?"

This girl from Beijing is called Chen Su. She twisted her thigh hard to make sure that she was not dreaming. If she had this unnatural luck, if she bought □□□, she would definitely get rich overnight!At least she won't have to worry about finding a boyfriend in college. Although there is no fanatical star-chasing phenomenon in school, when Sarah and Natalie walk together, she still gets extra attention, and Chen Su also experienced it. What is a [-]% return rate.

Sarah is very sorry for this, and hopes that the relationship between her and Natalie will not affect Chen Su's normal campus life, but she is obviously too worried. Chen Su has a carefree personality, and she just shrugged indifferently: "Why Are you sorry? This is a good thing! At least this return rate has doubled my chances of finding a boyfriend."

Hearing such a free and easy answer, Sarah and Natalie couldn't help laughing. They absolutely had no doubts about it. Chen Su was not bad looking, even in the aesthetics of Westerners, she could be regarded as small. Beauty, with such looks and high attention, I'm afraid she has already been missed by single men on campus in just one day.

The school will arrange a sophomore senior to answer questions for freshmen, called "sophomorebuddy", and when Sarah looked at the blond boy who was handing out notices and campus handbooks at the gate of the building, she almost staggered.

"Be careful!" Natalie helped Sarah in time, and teased with a smile, "You are such a sloppy girl, you tripped over yourself when you were walking, Leonardo seems to have worried about you a lot!"

"..." Sarah was embarrassed, because they had already walked in front of Ian at this time, and she clearly saw that when Natalie mentioned "Leonardo", Ian gave herself a meaningful look.

"Hey, girls, my name is Ian Mellon, welcome to Harvard, your sophomorebuddy is temporarily busy, so these notices and freshman materials will be distributed by me, and there will be an ice cream carnival in the evening, I believe you don't want to miss it Yes." Ian said as he handed out all the materials, as if he didn't know Sarah at all.

However, when Sarah felt baffled and decided to pretend not to know Ian, and left with Natalie and Chen Su directly, Ian suddenly called out to her: "Do you want to go home tonight?"

"Cough..." Natalie seemed to be choking on her own saliva, and her eyes widened instantly, scanning back and forth between Ian and Sarah.

Chen Su's small mouth was also slightly opened, as if he had just heard a very big secret!

——The author has something to say

--Sleepy!Want sleep!Seeing that many relatives are also sick, I wish everyone a speedy recovery here!The same goes for Dai Lin, I hope to get better soon!Cough to death! ! !But I still insisted on coding out a chapter, and it was really sad to not save the manuscript. I have a hunch that it may be discontinued if this continues... Hey, I really can’t be naked in the future--Ben

--mwah!Next is Daddy!Leonardo ~~ that chapter, you can skip it directly.

"The production cost of 500 million won the global box office of 5 million. We have already made a lot of money in this item alone, but the money has to be divided with distribution and theaters. I haven't asked Michael what terms he negotiated with theaters and Fox. , but it is optimistically estimated that there will be at least 2 million people who can fall back into the Starlight pocket in the end, does this number sound amazing?"

"More than half of it will be distributed to others. It sounds a bit painful!" Leonardo frowned. He really didn't understand the division of theaters. He thought that most of the box office would be from the stars.So he was a little surprised when he heard Sarah's words, and couldn't help but put on a stingy expression.But the little Noah happened to raise his head to look at him, so the little guy also learned to curl his lips. One big and one small looked like two little beasts who wanted to be fed, and Sarah's heart was instantly melted when she saw it up.

She smacked their faces respectively before explaining with a broken smile: "This is a mature business cooperation model in Hollywood, and the share ratio is also a basic tacit understanding reached by production, distribution, and theater chains. Thanks to Michael and Prophecy.com for getting 2 million, we used "Rising Star" to achieve a publicity effect that many big companies can't do, so at least Starlight doesn't have to share the North American box office cake with the distribution company, but in the future For a long time, overseas publicity will be our shortcoming. The box office cake has to be distributed to large companies with mature overseas distribution chains such as Fox and Warner. A year or more."

"So slow? Is it because the three parties need to settle accounts? There is also overseas publicity ~~ I remembered! I have heard you and Michael talking about overseas branches more than once, but now according to what you mean, the overseas distribution department has not yet Is it built? Dear, is it complicated to announce? Can’t we directly cooperate with foreign theaters? Just like the Cannes Film Festival where we directly sold the copyright of "Requiem for a Dream", it does not seem impossible. "Leonardo put forward his point of view, and he obviously underestimated the difficulty of film announcement.

Sarah could only shake her head helplessly. She realized that there were quite a lot of things to tell Leonardo. The schedule in her mind was getting longer and longer. Many of the information she understood and defined as common sense were not Existing in Leon's head, it's like the importance and complexity of movie announcements. She takes it for granted that Leon should know, but in fact the other party doesn't have these concepts. How can overseas announcements be so easy?It requires not only huge financial support, but also the need to open up the upper and lower contacts of the target country. It is best to recruit relevant practitioners who understand that country, otherwise the untimely release time and the promotion plan that does not conform to the local culture will be a disaster. .

But... do these need to be told to Leonardo?To what extent?

Sarah leaned forward and kissed her boyfriend on the lips, and cheered herself up in her heart-you can't ask too much of an actor who didn't even have the concept of "Titanic" box office miracle a year ago, at least now Leonardo He already knows that 5 million box office is an impressive record, he can realize that the development momentum of Starlight Company is too good to be frightening, and he is even paying attention to listening to and keeping up with your rhythm. These are his progress, and even a way of his love for you.So be patient, Sarah, you should be more patient, just like teaching him Hanyu Pinyin, take it little by little.

So Sarah changed the lesson plan after this long kiss. She decided to tell Leonardo the company's operation step by step, and Leon was interested in telling it.As for the half of the question mentioned before, is the company's capital chain tight?How did Michael work on his Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings investments when Sarah didn't even make it all back at the box office?These can only be pondered by Sarah in her own time.Of course she has full confidence in Michael, but after realizing that Michael has too high expectations for Starlight Company, she is very worried that the old lion king will use too much force, so she has to pay attention a little bit, if Starlight Company becomes a prostitute under Michael. If she wants to rein the wild horse, she must be the one who pulls the rein in time.

Fortunately, her worries seemed unnecessary. When she returned to Los Angeles and got the company's financial report, there was no problem with the above figures, at least there was no hidden danger in the books——

The filming budget of "The Lord of the Rings: The Lord of the Rings" is 1 million. New Line originally did not intend to let Starlight inject capital, so the funds were well prepared. Later, due to the mediation of the parent company Warner, they gave Starlight 9 million. Space, but did not require a one-time payment, Starlight can transfer the money to New Line in three installments, so Starlight's financial pressure on the "Lord of the Rings" project is not great.As for "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone", Starlight is the mainstay. Michael gritted his teeth and refused to delegate power to Warner, so the Starlight family took 2000 million of the budget of at least 6000 million. Of course, Starlight didn't need the money once. The sex is taken out, but Warner looks like a good old man who has been bullied. He is required to send the money to Xingguang within three months, so...

Sarah looked at the financial report and almost burst into tears. She almost trotted into Michael's office, her eyes full of admiration: "Michael! Oh, the great Michael, how did you do it? Let Warner Called 4000 million in one breath? They actually did it? My God, are the Warner people stupid? Shouldn't they take the opportunity to negotiate with you and exchange capital injection for a higher percentage?!"

"Dear girl, what can I answer you?" Michael raised his eyebrows slightly, pointed his temple with a finger, and said slowly like a domineering president, "Never underestimate the wisdom of old Michael, his shrewdness is You little girl is incomparable!"

"Tsk, domineering!" Sarah slapped her hands and smiled, her heart finally fell to the ground, but she was still very curious, "Tell me, Michael, tell me quickly, how can Warner give you money so readily?" ?”

"Well ..." Michael looked at Sarah with a smile, and his eyes flashed in a moment. He seemed to want to say something, but in the end, he smiled very well. "Sorry, this is a secret."

"Michael..." Sarah screamed strangely, but unfortunately no matter how much she rolled and flattered, Michael kept his mouth shut, and even told Sarah that this was his way of life, and he must never tell others, that arrogant old man The beating look made Sarah laugh angrily.

"Come on, let's see if there are any scripts you like here. Instead of joking around with me, it's better to get down to business first." Michael opened the cabinet and took out a box of scripts. The quality of the notebooks varies, so you need to choose carefully, just as you have no movies to shoot during the summer vacation..."

"But Leon and I are planning to find a place for vacation." Sarah glanced at a box of scripts that seemed to contain [-] or [-] scripts, and she couldn't help shaking her head like a rattle.

"On vacation again? You haven't been together long enough this year? Since Edinburgh, except for the two months of filming apart, you are almost like conjoined twins!" Michael frowned and gave Sarah a contemptuous look, like He seemed to be talking to himself, "It seems that I have to find more work for you."

"Stop it! The filming of "Ten Things I Hate About You" starts in August, and Harvard reports in September. My schedule is full." Sarah complained to Michael while rummaging through the script box.

"Okay, then let's take another play for Leon. It's strange to say that Rick hasn't terminated the contract with Leon, right? He's still Leon's manager right now? But what the hell is that guy up to lately? It stands to reason that after "American Psycho" was widely acclaimed, there should be too many film contracts to come to Leon. But look at Leon, he looks like a vagrant with nothing to do, holding his little one all day long. Noah wandered around, went to the animal hospital for four hours and still hasn’t come back! He’s really idle! There’s no sign of picking up a new play at all.” Michael was very upset that he was so busy, Leon was a young man who acted A full-time dad!He tapped his fingers on the table, seeming to be in deep thought, "Could it be... no way... Rick is really planning to give up Leon, a high-quality customer? It's a golden period of development in Leon? Don't! I I'm afraid I can't be both you and Leon's agent at the same time, in fact, I'm already at a loss for you alone, after all, I still have a whole company to manage here."

"Then find another agent for me, or I'll go find Rick to take over." Sarah flipped through the script and shrugged indifferently, "Rick has actually been helping Leon choose scripts, but unfortunately all the scripts he sent Rejected by Leon. So you blamed Rick this time. He has completely changed his ways now. Not only did he no longer dictate Leon’s choice, but he even jokingly calls Leon His Majesty every time he calls. !"

"YES? Who called me Your Majesty? Are you talking about Rick?" The door was pushed open at this moment, and "Father" Leonardo walked in, with a small lizard on one shoulder, and a small lizard on the other. He was holding little Noah with one hand, and little Noah was holding a little milk dog in his fleshy little hand.

"..." Sarah didn't answer, but stared intently at the son who came to hug her little legs, raised his little head and offered treasures, and the little boy behind him who was still a little unsteady when he walked. French Bulldog.Sarah looked at the cute and soft puppy, but her heart couldn't help but twitch - why is it a French bulldog?

Just at this moment, Leonardo and Michael greeted each other, approached with a smile, pressed a kiss on Sarah's lips, and then offered treasures with bright eyes like little Noah: "How about the puppy? Noah likes it very much." And it! When we saw it it was dragging a heavy leather shoe, and it looked funny! So we gave it a name..."

"Jiang Ge, the dog's name...Jiang Ge." Little Noah couldn't wait to introduce to his mother, with a pair of beautiful eyes blinking and sparkling.This is Uncle Leon's new friend who will grow up with him, so he is very happy.He squatted down and touched the little puppy's head carefully, and giggled when the little puppy licked him with his tongue. He squatted down, hoping that his mother would be as happy as him.

"Django? You named the puppy Django?" Sarah felt the soft, soft tongue licking her fingers, and cast a questioning look at Leon.

"Yeah, there's an early classic spaghetti western about a man dragging a coffin through a muddy moor... I couldn't help but think of that movie when I saw the dog dragging his shoes, so..." Leonardo also squatted down, nodded the little milk dog's head, smiled and looked at Sarah, "Isn't it interesting?"

Yes, interesting!It couldn't be more interesting!Sarah looked at her son playing with the little milk dog, but thought of the dog next to Leonardo in her previous life.It is said that Leonardo's favorite French bulldog was given to him by Gisele Bundchen, who also happened to be named Django.

Tsk!History is such a wonderful thing!It's just that this time the dog has become her son's, so will Gisele Bundchen still appear?

Leonardo's phone rang, and as Leon exclaimed excitedly, Sarah's wandering thoughts were pulled back instantly.

"What? Martin? You mean the famous director Martin Scorsese? Of course, of course, no problem, tell Mr. Scorsese, as long as it is a movie made by him, I will accept any story!" Leonardo threw away He was so excited that he sat down on the ground. He even laughed and hugged Sarah, who was squatting aside, into his arms, and kissed his girlfriend's little face, which was also full of surprises.

Next to him, little Noah also sat down on the ground, squatting next to his new partner Django, one person and one dog tilted their heads to one side as if they had made an appointment, blinking their pure and wet eyes, watching excitedly Two adults kissing.

As for Michael Ovitz behind the desk, the old guy has been weakly holding his forehead and turned his face away. Although he is curious about what movie Martin Scorsese asked Leonardo to make, but now, he Still shrunk down his sense of existence tactfully, this is the disadvantage of working with two young lovers, always being caught off guard and showing his affection!
