[US Entertainment] Actress

Screenplay days were always dull and boring, but if Noye had to choose between going to a party or burying her head in a script, she would choose the latter.It is not easy to choose a suitable script from a large number of scripts. Noy ​​tries to be objective and rational, but the reality is always contrary to her intention.

"The role of Katharine Hepburn in "The Aviator" has been taken by Cate Blanchett. The Weinstein brothers are testing whether you are willing to play the role of Ava Gardner; The other day I just invited Natalie Portman to join me...I don’t even know what’s going on.” Martin scratched his hair, “What do you think, Noy, don’t keep silent.”

Noy patted the back of his hand: "Dear Calm, I'm tired of being a supporting actress in different movies, maybe we can find a more suitable movie."

"For example..."

"How about Pride and Prejudice?" Noye looked at Martin. "I just loved the novel. When I was 14 or 5, I always had Jane Austen by my bed, longing for someday. I can find my own Mr. Darcy. Don't look at me like that, I've been immature too, and I think at least half the girls in England have had the same dream as me."

Martin simply pushed away a pile of scripts on the table, and slowly read the script of "Pride and Prejudice". Noy ​​didn't bother her, and continued to find out what he was interested in from the pile.It is already March of 04. Even if she joins the filming team now, it may be difficult to catch up with next year's Oscar, so even though Noy has been aiming for the Oscar queen, she also understands that now is not a suitable time.

"Noye, this is a purely British film." Martin looked at her fixedly, "Are you sure you want to take it?"

Noy nodded: "If you don't have any strong objections. East, don't underestimate British films. Have you forgotten the success of films like "Howards End" and "Sense and Sensibility" at the Oscars? Jane Austen The concept of love is common all over the world, and no British actress has the courage to refuse Jane Austen's book made into a movie."

"Okay." Martin shrugged, "I almost forgot your British identity."

"How about this one?" Noy dug out another pile of scripts, "Brokeback Mountain, a gay movie, I think the script is quite interesting."

"Brokeback Mountain", the work of the famous Chinese director Ang Lee.Ang Lee relied on "The Wedding Banquet" to knock on the door of Hollywood, and subsequent films such as "Sense and Sensibility" and "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" made Ang Lee really stand firm, and this classic "Brokeback Mountain" is It is the glorious work of Ang Lee on the Oscar stage. This film has a delicate style and sincere emotion, and it almost really brings out the most characteristic things in Ang Lee's heart.Even after 2014, when it comes to classic gay movies, "Brokeback Mountain" is often among them.

Noye is very optimistic about this movie, but Mr. Agent obviously disagrees.

Even in the most open Hollywood, homosexuality is considered a taboo topic, and the bills and rights related to homosexuality in the United States are also issues that politicians pay close attention to. In a word, it is "sensitive" to sum it up in one word.Martin is not opposed to Noy's role in this movie. In fact, in this kind of movie, actors often have more room to play and are more likely to shine. But obviously, this is not a movie about lesbians. The protagonists are the two described in the script. male.

"Even if you want to participate, the crew of "Brokeback Mountain" may have to think deeply about it." Martin said, "The truth is, they can't afford you at all."

"Okay, you convinced me." Noy spread his hands, "So what should I choose?"

At this moment, the phone in Noy's pocket "buzzed".Not many people know her private number, so she gestured to Martin, and Noy quickly answered the phone: "Hello."

"Noy, this is Martin." The voice on the phone was Martin Scorsese.

Noy nodded: "Yes, I can recognize your voice."

"Noye, I would like to invite you to play the role of Ava Gardner in "The Aviator"... Originally my plan was to let you play Catherine, but Kate is more loved by Catherine herself. Recommended Kate for the role, but I was more into Nicole Kidman at the time..." Martin Scorsese rambled on a lot, Noye was not impatient, anyway, according to the director in With her Hollywood stature, it was a great honor for her to be able to invite her in person.

What does an Oscar supporting actress mean to Martin Scorsese?Although Martin has not touched the Oscar trophy so far, the best actor and actress he has trained/trained probably all have double digits.

"Okay, Martin, I promise you." Noy said with a smile, "Martin will come out in person, how dare I not accept it?"

"Oh, Noye, don't say that. I think there's still room for Ava Gardner in this role, and I think you're better than any other actor at delivering a real Ava Gardner. "

The cooperation intention was finalized with just one phone call. Even though the agent listened to the whole conversation, he still couldn't help but feel a little speechless at Noy's casualness: "Don't want to play the female supporting role? Dear Noy, the role of Ava Gardner In "The Aviator", she is the female supporting role among female supporting roles."

Noye waved his hand: "I am very aware of this, but I have no intention of rejecting Martin Scorsese's call."

Even though she knew her choice wasn't all that right.

She was a supporting actress before, and the heroine was Oscar-winning actress Nicole Kidman.After winning the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress, Noye's value has skyrocketed. She could have played the leading role in an excellent movie, but she chose "The Aviator"-as a supporting role for Cate Blanchett.

Yes, Cate Blanchett is a future Oscar winner, and she did win an Oscar with the movie "The Aviator", but anyway, in the eyes of most people in Hollywood, Cate Blanchett Noy's coffee position is not as good as Noy's.

Even though the actress is famous all over the world for her role as the elf queen in the "Lord of the Rings" series, and despite her outstanding performances in "The Talented Ripley" and "The World of the World", she has no Oscars, and she is watching. He is not as good as Noy in his eyes.

"Just treat it as a friendship." Noye comforted Martin silently, "You have to trust my vision. Natalie Portman also played a not-so-important role in "Cold Mountain". From the point of view of roles, she can only be regarded as a secondary actor."

Martin ignored Noy's persuasion this time.He pointed out quite calmly: "Noy, you only played a small supporting role in "The Aviator". The influence of "Pride and Prejudice" in North America is very limited. Maybe they are all excellent works, but they are not conducive to the development of your career."

"I understand, but next year my schedule has already been handed over to the second part of "Pirates of the Caribbean". If I finish filming "The Aviator" and "Pride and Prejudice" this year, there will still be a good script next year." Noy said in Martin's head I rubbed it up, "The most important thing is that I heard that Martin Scorsese plans to release this movie this year, so that I should still be able to go to the Oscars during the awards season."

Noye is confident in his performance.In countless previous practices, even the most painful and difficult scenes did not wear away her love for acting. She is not afraid of competing with Cate Blanchett, and she is confident that she will beat her opponent.

Martin is not the kind of agent who is greedy for money, but Hollywood is a place where money is in charge. Once an actor's work in a certain work fails at the box office, his worth will be reduced to a certain extent.Although Noy, who has the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series, does not need to consider the issue of social status for the time being, but Martin always hopes that Noy can appear in some works that meet her status.

"The Aviator" is a good choice, but Mr. Broker values ​​the role of Cate Blanchett more.

In the end, he was persuaded by Noy.

The agent couldn't help but sighed heavily, and went back to continue to study the pile of scripts that filled the mailbox, hoping to discover one or two that were really suitable for Noy.

After Martin left, Noy threw away the script and sank into the soft sofa.She understood Martin's thoughts very well, and she subconsciously felt that Martin's approach was not wrong... But perhaps because she was attracted by the fame of "The Aviator", or because of Martin Scorsese's personal invitation, she agreed to film this film. movie.

Ava Gardner may be good in this role, but it's still worse than Katharine Hepburn.

Sighing for a while, Nuoyi comforted herself, since the choice had already been made, there was no room for regret, not to mention that her lifelong goal was to become an acting school.

It doesn't matter what kind of role she plays, the key is how she plays it.

Keith Lieser, who was off work, also heard the news from Martin.He parked the car directly downstairs of Nuo Yi, and knocked on Nuo Yi's door after taking two steps.

Now the two can be said to be very affectionate. Even if there are a lot of paparazzi lurking outside, they can't stop the ambiguous atmosphere between the two. Keith Liesel even regards Noy's house as his own. The first thing after work was not to go back to his home, but to pack up two clean clothes and head straight to Noy's small villa.

The media simply referred to Noy's villa as the two's "love nest". Noy ​​could only accept such an unscrupulous name.In fact, all the gossip reporters in the world are very boring. When there is really no major event happening in the entertainment industry, they will make up a bunch of messy things to attract the public's attention.

Nuoyi is relatively "picky" in many media reports. The price of her "love nest" is a clear proof. In addition, she rarely buys luxury goods to decorate herself. Those who can't criticize her in terms of acting skills and box office The media chose this as the angle to criticize Noy.
