unofficial hollywood life

Mr. Cruise, who was teased intentionally or unintentionally, looked at Diana's red lips after being licked by her tongue, and his mouth was a little dry, and he began to doubt his memory by the way.

He clearly remembered seeing a photo of Diana holding a wine bottle when he was in France, as if celebrating a harvest day?

But just holding a bottle doesn't mean you're drinking, right?He denied his thoughts in his heart again, Diana really didn't look like a girl who would drink alcohol when she was underage.

But what if?He didn't forget that Diana's character has nothing to do with the word conformity. I'm afraid more than 90.00% of American girls have never done the things she did...

Probably the various behaviors of the Morgan chick are too subversive of Mr. Cruise's past life experience, so when facing her, some strange ideas often pop up in his mind, and now, he is obviously It's a little confusing.

But the confusion didn't affect his answer to Diana's question, "Of course, do you need to wear formal clothes?"

he asked seriously.

There are many kinds of things like birthday parties, even private parties can be divided into formal and informal, and the dress required for these two parties is undoubtedly very different.

Wearing casual clothes and jeans on a more formal party is undoubtedly very disrespectful to the host. Similarly, wearing a suit and tie on a less formal party is also silly and out of place.

Of course, if Diana's birthday party is a masquerade, then he still needs to go to the store to buy some props, or is this girl playing a retro masked ball?

All of a sudden, Tom's brain spun like a CPU was installed.

No way, who told him to be too impressed by the past behavior of the Morgan girl?He always felt that this girl was like a book that never ended, people read one page and wanted to read the next page, chasing and trying to understand her.

This is really a very interesting thing.

"It doesn't matter if you want to wear it, as long as you remember the vacuum." Diana answered him equally solemnly.

Going into battle in a vacuum or something, she looked at Mr. Cruise's face and upper body with her eyes, huh, it must be very interesting.

Mr. Cruise who was being sized up: "..."

How does it feel that Diana is not 'normal' this morning?

Well, I can only say that after a person gets used to being stabbed in the heart, it is inevitable that he will have a little Stockholm syndrome, especially if he is stabbed by such a beautiful girl, he will not be used to it without being stabbed.Diana just discovered one thing and wanted to confirm her guess, but this guy has already started to fidget. Is this going to march towards Shaking M?

But speaking of vacuuming, Tom couldn't help but glance at Diana as well.

Although this girl does not have the height of a model, she has the proportions of a model!If you don't consider walking on the catwalk and just take still photos, Tom feels that with her conditions, she can instantly kill a group of supermodels. Whether it is temperament or style, the cold and melancholy atmosphere has a fatal killing effect. It will attract countless men and women to follow suit!

Thinking of this, he suddenly felt that his future was not good, his face and figure were too eye-catching, and he could easily run into a rival in love if he was not careful.

It's like that John Cusack, didn't he just run after Diana some time ago?Fortunately, he rushed back from France in time to let the other party retreat.Thinking of the misleading he caused Diana's suitors by using the angle, Tom gave himself a thumbs up in his heart, and by the way, raised his vigilance a bit.After all, the Morgan chick is really too eye-catching, and the task of reducing the number of rivals in love is really too difficult.

So it was settled that Mr. Cruise would be attending Chick Morgan's 21st birthday, Scorpio Standard Time, to celebrate her official Bar Mitzvah.Before that, he needs to continue to complete his pre-shooting training, and Diana also needs to continue her work.

"Cut!" The gray-haired Garry Marshall frowned and paused the shoot.

When Scott Rudin found him, he actually couldn't take this book. While "Pretty Woman" brought success, it also brought him a deep sense of fatigue.The shooting time of nearly three months, plus the pre-production and post-production and publicity, made the almost 60-year-old director feel as tired as if he had fought a war after finishing the film. At this time, he most wanted to The most important thing is not to continue working, but to take a good vacation, rest for a year and a half, pull yourself out of the vortex of work, and let your brain relax before continuing with new work.

But the story of "In New York" is really good.

Yes, the story is good, not the screenplay.This wonderful story reminded him of Hollywood many years ago, the Hollywood known as the golden age.

The stars at that time were different from the stars now. Film companies created settings for them, packaged images, and everything was controlled by the big studios. They had to do what they wanted stars to do, including getting married. Having children, and endlessly squeezing the surplus value of the body.I don’t know how many people live a life that is different on the surface and different in private. Except in the movies, these stars also wear masks to play another person in life, a radiant image created by a film company.

Just like the heroine in "New York Love", in a movie collaboration, she had a relationship with an actor whose marriage was in trouble. Because of the dishonor of this relationship, they could only quietly develop.And it is this depressing mood that makes the heroine gradually haggard in the torment, and finally hides back to her hometown because the incident was exposed by the reporter.

"It's kind of like what happened in Hollywood when I was young," he thought.

In particular, the description of the inner emotions of several main characters in the story is very fascinating, so that the director and director can't help but have a sense of substitution, recalling that wonderful era.

"OK, I'll take it." After putting down the script, he said to his agent.

Then there are the intense film preparations.

It's just that the process of preparation was not smooth sailing, because the hero of the movie is a young boy with no life experience in his opinion.

That's right, the kid. Mel Gibson, who is just in his early thirties, is not the best candidate for the role of Nick in Gary's eyes. He lacks a sense of vicissitudes.In other words, Mr. Director thought Mr. Gibson was too frizzy for the role.If possible, he hopes that this role will be played by Al Pacino. On the one hand, the deep and restrained feeling of Nick in the script seems to be tailor-made for this Italian man; I can make up for the regret of not working with this actor at the beginning.

You know, the hero and heroine of the movie "Pretty Woman" were not Richard Gere and Julia Roberts at the beginning, but Al Pacino and Molly Ringwald were invited.What a wonderful partner for a handsome guy with strength and a goddess of youth for the New Rat Party!

It's a pity that these two people rejected the movie at the same time, so Gary could only choose the two current actors in the end.But the plot is what counts, and the movie ends up being very successful.

Gary, whose movie is a big hit, has even chosen the script of his next work, and he will invite this big star when the time comes.However, "New York Love" did not kick Mel Gibson in the end. After all, the actor was the initiator of the project. He discovered the script, revised the storyline, and even spent a lot of effort to persuade Touchstone to invest. Either way, Gary shouldn't have excluded him from the crew.

Fortunately, he is a director who can compromise - otherwise, he wouldn't have used the outdated Richard Gere and the not-so-famous Julia Roberts to replace the perfect lineup in his mind.

So in the end, Mr. Gibson still relied on his box office appeal to become the leading actor of the movie, but as for the leading actress, the combination of producers gave him a lot of power, which made him unable to help but want to make the movie popular before. Please come over to continue working with Julia.

But how can life always go smoothly?The schedule of the heroine he is optimistic about is already full, and it is still a movie with a big director, which makes him a little frustrated.

However, this frustration quickly disappeared, because the actor recommended his good friend to play the heroine, and the name of that good friend is Jodie Foster!

How many sparks can there be between a popular niche and an Oscar queen?

If no one expected it at the beginning, everyone has seen it now.

There seems to be a magnet between Mel Gibson and Jodie Foster. As long as they enter the camera, everyone can see the chemical reaction between them. Producers like Norn Milkan and Scott Rudin were delighted.

Because the spark between the male and female protagonists means the interest of the audience, coupled with the qualified plot and excellent acting skills, this film really can't be popular.

But the problem happened to be in the acting.

As an Oscar queen, or an Oscar queen who grew up as a child star, Jodie Foster's acting skills are of course no problem.The problem is that Mel Gibson, the big star who can be overlooked when he plays with Judy because of the sparks between them, but when it comes to the solo scene, his acting skills are not good. Not that good enough.

In particular, the script of this film has become a film with a male perspective under his several interventions, which undoubtedly put a lot of burden on him.

"To be honest, it's almost impossible for you to hit the Oscars with this movie." While Gary was troubled by the actor's acting skills, Mr. Gibson's agent was also persuading him.

Mel is his biggest trump card, so when he has time recently, he will come to visit the crew to care about the progress.The producers have hinted at him several times that Mel's acting skills are really bad.

It’s nothing to watch alone, and it’s enough to deal with a commercial production, but it’s not enough to compare it with Oscar-level Jodie Foster.

It's not that Judy suppressed him in the crew, but that in the same movie, everyone is not blind. Even if the audience doesn't feel anything, who can control the vicious tongue of the film critics?It would be fine if the movie was just a normal commercial movie, but once it was titled as an Oscar-winning art movie, there was no need to think about how miserably Mel's acting skills would be sprayed by these people.

"Of course I know that his acting skills are average, but this script is his project, isn't it?" Anon answered this question in this way.

The filmmaker is the final decision maker, even the works of Orson Welles will be cut into pieces under the interference of the producer, let alone someone else?So what if the actor is a big name?Editing is not their business!

"At least we have to let him know that it's not that we failed his desire to hit the Oscars, but that his own strength is not enough." Scott Rudin shrugged and said.

Although the final editing rights of the movie are in their hands, who knows if there will be a chance to cooperate with a box office hit like Mel Gibson in the future?It's better not to do things like tearing one's face too far.

Let the other party understand that it is their own incompetence rather than their manipulation behind the scenes. This is the correct way to open up.You can't insist on losing money knowing that the movie will lose money, right?

So now it's Mel Gibson competing with himself, desperately trying to prove himself in acting.

But acting skills are not a matter of personal will. Just thinking about it is useless, you have to have that level of talent, or you have to spend a long time honing it in movies or dramas.At present, Mr. Gibson does not have any of them, so he is a tragedy.

"A cigarette?" Diana sat in front of Mel Gibson after filming paused.

"Thank you, I don't need it." Glancing at her, Mel refused.

He was quite ambivalent about the girl.

Let’s just say I hate it. His professionalism is really good. Although he sometimes gets a little awkward with his words, he said that he wanted to change the content of the script. This one obediently changed it, and he changed it so that he couldn’t find any faults. , compared to the script before the revision, after the revision, all kinds of obstacles and plots were in full swing, the contradictions became more acute, and the seriousness of the whole story was upgraded. He really couldn't tell the other party was bad.

But to say that he likes it, he really dislikes the girl in front of him except for her face. The feeling of being stuffy just makes people want to have a heart attack at any time, and can't wait to throw her away. far away, never see you again.

He believed that the other party should think the same way, and it was very unpleasant to see him.So let’s forget about cigarettes. Even if it can relieve stress, it depends on who gave the cigarettes. It’s common sense that the studio doesn’t accept gifts from people other than your own. It’s not just that there are struggles between actors. , Even actors and producers have struggles, he doesn't want to get anything bad after smoking a cigarette.

"Allright." Diana spread her hands.

She wanted to try to mend the relationship between the two, but she didn't do it because the other party didn't appreciate it.

Looking at the cigarette in her hand, she shook her head, this is really an ordinary lady's cigarette, a gift from her old classmate, just in case.

Fortunately, Mel didn't know what Diana was thinking at this time, otherwise she would probably be sprayed to death, and just repairing the relationship, can you be more insincere?

"Actually, you don't need to be so sad. Look at me, I'm still the writer and producer of this script, so I'm still marginalized?" Diana comforted Mel not very sincerely.

Although I don't like this guy, but because of emotional problems, this gentleman is always so NG to NG, which will affect the progress of the shooting.As a qualified producer, it is her duty to ensure that these things are controlled within a controllable range, so after the meeting, she was sent directly to communicate with this gentleman.

"The marginalization is here to talk to me?" Mel sneered, and took out a cigarette case and lighter from his trouser pocket.

"Ding—" In the blue flame, the cigarette was lit.

After taking a long breath, Mel felt much better.

He was indeed a little impatient, so impatient that he couldn't see the existence of the trap, so he plunged into it, making himself in a dilemma.But this doesn't mean that the little girl in front of him can tell him what to do. How old is she? 20 years old?Still 21 years old?Is it funny that students who are still in school come to do psychological work with him?

"No way, the director can't communicate with you. They probably think that I am the screenwriter, so I have a deeper understanding of the plot." Diana shrugged and said.

Unobtrusively, he changed his sitting position to keep the second-hand smoke away from him.

"Because if I were the director, the movie wouldn't be what it is now." Mel snorted, disapproving of Diana's words.

There is indeed a big difference between him and the director, or the concepts between the two are completely different.A big star who has reached his level, of course, can exert influence on the movie. Isn't Touchstone agreeing to invest because he took a fancy to the script?

In a movie, as long as the producer supports it, it is not difficult for the actors to suppress the director.It's a pity that the producer and the director are on the same side in this movie, and he, an actor, has absolutely nothing to do with this situation.So as the contradiction deepened, it also made his condition worse, a vicious circle.

"Yes, yes, the premise is that you are the director, otherwise it's useless to say anything." Diana said perfunctorily.

To be honest, she doesn't have much interest in the movie "Love in New York" now, and she gets everything she can get from this movie.As for the remaining publishers, Touchstone also has its own distribution department, and she can't get involved.So basically, she wanders around the crew every day to check for gaps and fill in gaps for herself, to see what else she can learn from these big shots.

It is also because of this that she really doesn't care about coming to communicate with Mr. Gibson.

Don't say irresponsible words, she has already done everything she can do in this project, why do you want her?Is there any other reason for letting her do this, knowing that there is something wrong between her and Mel Gibson, other than using her as cannon fodder?

Diana, who was so tired of the script being changed and changed, didn't even bother to fight. Things like the blame man really exist at any time and anywhere, and they are all ready for extended shooting. What hypocritical communication?Don't be too Arnon Milkan!

Thinking of that Israeli, Diana really felt that the bald guy was so annoying!

He just temporarily rejected the novel that he wanted to run himself, and he was assigned such a job. This small-minded person is even smaller than the tip of a needle!

But when she thought of the bitterness and arrogance of this big boss in Hollywood, she understood, what else can you expect from a man who can directly mock his partner's wife face to face?

So let's just treat it as a daily act of kindness. Anyway, she has a good relationship with Jodie Foster. She is not in the crew now, so she has to take care of Mr. Gibson.

Chick Morgan thought leisurely, she didn't take this matter to heart at all.In this crew, who is not bigger than her?If she meddles too much and no one appreciates it, she will be dissed. Does she really look that stupid?

"You really like to tell the truth." With a snort, Mel flicked the cigarette ash and said.

He is not a fool, even if he doesn't like Diana, he can't see the current situation clearly.While he was cheated, Diana was also cheated.

I learned from Judy that the film "Love in New York" was originally intended to be a low-cost romantic comedy, and Diana was the main producer.Because it is a product packaged by CAA, she will have great power, and the performance of the film will eventually become the signature of her production company.

It's just that he didn't expect things to turn a corner after he took a fancy to the script and ran all the way until now. The script has been out of CAA's control and no longer belongs to its original author.That is to say, because of him, this project that could have made her famous in one fell swoop was taken away by Arnon Milkan, and Diana changed from a possible dominant person to a marginalized figure. If it comes, she seems to have a reason to hate herself?

Mr. Gibson, who had always been himself, suddenly became self-aware.
