atypical hollywood life

Kate Winslet?Of course he knew about this British actress who was nominated for an Oscar for "Sense and Sensibility". Number.

It's a pity that in the eyes of James Cameron, this is not an advantage, but it makes him feel nothing new.From a certain point of view, James Cameron is a guy who likes the new and hates the old, which can be seen from both his love affairs and the shooting of movies.The sequel he personally filmed is only "Terminator 2", and this is because he is not satisfied with some parts of the first "Terminator". Due to financial and technical reasons, many of his ideas cannot be realized. Together is the complete movie.

This is the attitude towards movies, and the same is true for actors.In his view, putting Kate Winslet in a corset again was a lazy and uncreative choice, and he didn't want to do something unnecessary repetitive in his film.So he simply ignored the actor when casting director Finn suggested it to him.

"Wow, you know the nickname 'Corset Kate.' That's amazing."

Margaret was quite surprised when she heard James Cameron mention Kate Winslet's nickname. She didn't expect James to be full of gossip.

James Cameron had a dark face, "Of course I know, I know every actor who auditioned well, okay?" He stared at Margaret while talking, if it wasn't because you were so young, Am I looking for a suitable actor all over the world?Little heartless person, dare to laugh at me!

Yes, that's right, Margaret is the most suitable actress in his mind. This idea originated from "Interview with the Vampire".Most people, including film critics and those Oscar judges, focused on Margaret's over-age performance.James Cameron had his eyes elsewhere.

Thanks to his godfather who almost became a little girl, he had seen the thick family photo album.Rather than saying that he is watching 11-year-old Margaret in the movie, it is better to say that he is watching the underage version of Greta Gustav.The elegance and beauty of this Swedish woman can still be felt through black and white photos even after a time has passed.

Margaret looks too much like her, but her facial features are much softer than that lady, without the coldness and arrogance of that lady. He thinks maybe this is the gene of her grandmother Marilyn Monroe improved.Although she was too young when she starred in "Interview with the Vampire", it can still be seen that this is a perfect big-screen face.

Some TV drama actors are also good-looking, but they are much inferior on the big screen. This is because the huge movie screen will magnify every small flaw on the actor's face.Usually, these shortcomings are not exposed due to the angle of view on TV, but they are fully revealed on the big screen.

And Margaret, James Cameron can only say, God loves her!Like Tom Cruise, this face tends to be perfect, no angle can beat her beauty, it is simply a natural movie face.Thinking of this, he felt sorry for himself, wishing to pour some fertilizer on Margaret to make her grow faster, he was so heartbroken.

"Then have you ever auditioned for her?" Margaret's voice successfully brought back His Majesty the Tyrant's wandering thoughts.

"No need, I don't like to do repetitive things in my movies." James Cameron said indifferently, when a person has an inherent impression of another person in his heart, it is difficult to change, James Also, he doesn't feel the need to audition for an actor he doesn't much admire.

"Oh, James, why are you James? You are terribly stubborn!" Margaret sighed in an aria.

"Remember when you almost died when you went diving? How did everyone persuade you? There is no need to go into the water yourself. Professionals can handle these things... How did you answer?"

"You'll never know what you're missing until you see it with your own eyes! You taught me that, James. You'll never know if you're missing the heroine you want without seeing it with your own eyes."

There was a gentle light in Margaret's eyes, don't let these things drag on, James has suffered enough.

It has been almost two years since the preparation of this project. He was under too much pressure. Before the film was finished, he was ridiculed by almost all the film critics. The production company was also dissatisfied with him. Even the producer We're on the verge of getting into a fight with him over an outrageous budget, and this movie project is driving him nuts.Linda even complained to her that James actually stuck a blade on the computer, and she herself became more and more anxious due to the influence of James' emotions.

Since Kate Winslet can conquer James once, he can conquer him for the second time. The heroine of the movie can be determined earlier, and the shooting can be started and completed earlier.This would at least reduce some of his stress.

Margaret always hoped that the people around her would be well. There are already so many misfortunes in the world, why not make herself happy?

"You're right, you'll never know if she's the right candidate until you see it with your own eyes. I've been in such a bad mood lately, it's affecting my work."

James Cameron sighed.His weight has plummeted due to stress, he also loses a lot of hair when he combs his hair, and he has to swallow a lot of pills every day because of his stomach problem, and Linda is not in a good mood because of his influence , I'm seeing a doctor recently... If the movie hadn't started, he should really go on vacation.

"I will send an audition invitation to Kate Winslet. If it goes well, the movie will start shooting soon, Leo, study the script carefully, and don't turn a street punk into a psychopath!"

James Cameron turned to Leonardo DiCaprio, who had been huddling around like a wallflower.

Can this turn on me too?Leonardo was so helpless that he pretended to be invisible but did not escape the clutches.I can only nod in agreement.

After taking a sip of the juice drink brought by Margaret, James Cameron calmed down and began to ask about the other party's recent work.

Because of going to school, Margaret disappeared after filming "Romeo and Juliet". She didn't even attend the Berlin Film Festival.This also led to the fact that the Best Actress crown that might have gone to her also went to someone else.

It was Leonardo DiCaprio who won Best Actor at the Berlin Film Festival.Although the American people are not very interested in European film festivals, it is because none of their "own" wins the award. Once "one of our own" wins the award, the American media will boast like a chicken blood.River Phoenix back then and Leonardo DiCaprio now.On the day of the award, the news spread to the United States, and then there were overwhelming praises. The Americans were once again popularized about the style and status of the three major European film festivals, and how great Leonardo was able to win this award. .

During the period, Margaret was hardly mentioned. It’s not that the media is so biased. The problem is that she disappeared from the beginning to the end. She didn’t show up at the opening, the exhibition, or the closing ceremony. What did you ask the media to report?And this movie won't be released until November, and it's too early to promote it in February, and the day lily will be cold by the time it is released.Besides, the production cost is less than 500 million. How can you ask [-]th Century Fox to promote a small-budget literary film?It's better to promote it when it's about to be released.Some people say that the film was played by Claudia from "Interview with the Vampire", but the key point is that Germany is too far away from the United States, and there are no awards. Not many reporters dig this kind of worthless news. of.

This is the reason why Margaret, who has disappeared from the eyes of North American audiences for two years, is still in a state of invisibility. Walking on the street, almost no one can recognize her as the one who won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress two years ago. little vampire.So she ran from Los Angeles to Mexico unimpeded to visit the class and would not cause trouble.

"Just rejected a film directed by Stanley Kubrick." Margaret said lightly, as if she was rejecting not Stanley Kubrick but a little-known independent film. director.

Leonardo's eyes stared straight in an instant. "You turned down Kubrick? That's Kubrick, how could you say no to Kubrick?" He was almost incoherent, what an honor to be able to act in Kubrick's film, How could someone refuse?Does she not have a fever?

Margaret was surprised, "Why can't I refuse Kubrick? If it was Orson Welles, I would definitely not refuse. Forget about Kubrick. Neither his person nor his movies are suitable. My taste."

"Indeed, even if I appreciate "A Space Odyssey 2001", I don't recommend you to take his film. His attitude towards actors is too bad. In his hands, actors are just talking props. He has always tortured actors Fun." James Cameron agreed with Margaret's words.He himself is a person who dares to rebel against tradition. Even if he likes a movie, he may not necessarily appreciate the director of the movie.

Leonardo stared at these two people, feeling exhausted for a while. He suddenly felt that these two people did not live in the same world as him. Is the director's character and work related?Why do you hate a director and stop acting in his films?

If James Cameron heard this question, he would answer that it doesn't matter, but it is related to the physical and mental health of the actors. What's the point if people are not well after filming?

Margaret's words, she would say to Leonardo DiCaprio, of course it has something to do with it.If she hates a director, then her mood will be affected, and these will be reflected in her work status, which feels very bad, and as she said herself, it’s not Shaking M, why do you have to go Looking for abuse?

James Cameron quickly returned to work, and a lot of matters were still waiting for him to deal with.In the end, Margaret was sent out of the crew by Leonardo DiCaprio. He booked a room for Margaret in the hotel next to the crew and helped her send her luggage up.

This is probably the most regrettable thing he has ever done.

If time went back to when they were in the hotel lobby, Leonardo would never choose to send Margaret upstairs, because Margaret said a word when he put down the suitcase in his hand.

"Oops, I forgot to buy cherries at the fruit stand when I just came back!"
