Chapter Six Hundred and Eightieth Help Each Other
Regarding Leonardo and Gisele Bundchen, there are many rumors in the circle.
It is said that once last year, seeing Leonardo not returning all night, Gisele Bundchen went to the club to look for him, and found Leonardo buried among a bunch of women. Nadeau broke up.
Leonardo bought a 3.35-carat diamond ring and a 6-carat diamond necklace, and went straight to the hotel where Gisele Bundchen was staying. When soft words and sweet words didn't work, he had to use his last resort The killer move, bought another pink diamond ring, proposed to Gisele Bundchen, and promised to get married in the first half of this year.
Finally, when this day came, Gisele Bundchen's heart softened, and she forgave Leonardo for the first time.
But in some ways, Leonardo is the same kind of person as Ronan.
Therefore, since Leonardo gave the ring, he stopped talking about marriage.
It's almost September now, and I still don't know where the wedding is.
Probably similar in some respects, Ronan can guess Leonardo's mentality, he is probably true love for Gisele Bundchen, but he is afraid of being bound, he feels that he is born with a desire for freedom and indulgence.
Some time ago, Leonardo and Gisele Bundchen attended a business event together. When the latter confessed in public that he hoped to enter the marriage hall with Leonardo as soon as possible, Leonardo pretended not to hear it and turned his head turned to the side.
If it weren't for these, perhaps Gisele Bundchen would not have become Mrs. Brady.
After the two sides exchanged pleasantries, they quickly entered the topic.
Gisele Bundchen knew Ronan before, and said directly: "Ronan, I like Pepper Potts very much. This character is fashionable, exquisite, beautiful and capable." Although she is not the future Giuseppe, in the model circle It's just one of the many frontlines, but she is very confident: "My character and temperament are very suitable for this role."
In fact, when Ronan saw that the final candidates had Gisele Bundchen and Carolina Kurkova, Ronan was very inclined to Gisele Bundchen.
But Leonardo's visit just for that gave him other ideas.
But Ronan asked doubts: "Your audition went well, but Giselle, why do you suddenly want to act in a movie?"
There were also several supermodels who participated in the initial audition for Pepper, such as Heidi Klum, but Gisele Bundchen was not on the list.
She was named later.
Gisele Bundchen took a look at Leonardo, saw that Leonardo had no objection, and said: "There is something wrong with my cooperation with Victoria's Secret, and I may not be on the Victoria's Secret show from this year, except fashion On the one hand, I need to maintain a certain degree of exposure in North America, I can't play too difficult a role, and a movie that is not popular enough is useless, Leo suggested that I choose your project, and I have my eye on Pepper Potts."
Leonardo said to Ronan in a rare tone of admiration: "Others are not optimistic about "Iron Man", but I think you can succeed."
To a certain extent, he also watched how Ronan rose from the bottom step by step.
Those who have seen it have more confidence in Ronan.
Ronan said: "Let's put it this way, Giselle, you are one of the only candidates for this role."
"I heard." Gisele Bundchen was not surprised: "The other candidate is Karolina Kurkova."
Kevin Fitch winked and took over the topic: "Miss Bundchen, let me reiterate that if we can reach a cooperation, there are two prerequisites. One is that you need to cooperate with Marvel Entertainment on Pepper Potts. One is that the character signed a long-term contract, and the other is that your fame and influence in the modeling circle cannot be fully applied in the film industry, and your film salary may be much lower than that of models."
Gisele Bundchen is a smart person. He has heard Leonardo talk about Ronan's past more than once, and he has already considered it: "There is no problem with these. I don't care about the salary. What I care about is the influence that the movie can bring to me. .”
Compared with most supermodels, Gisele Bundchen is very business-minded. Since she became famous, she has been using her fame and influence to expand her business territory. Now she has made some achievements. The high exposure of future supermodels and stars, Just commercials at their best.
Gisele Bundchen admires Leonardo's vision for making movies, and Leonardo admires Ronan's vision in private, so Gisele Bundchen believes that the projects selected by Leonardo will be the hottest ones. Very likely.
A long-term contract is a restriction for Hollywood actors, but for Gisele Bundchen, it is equal to a long-term advertisement.
"I have no problem," Gisele Bundchen said.
Ronan smiled and said, "Giselle, I will let you know as soon as there is any news."
Gisele Bundchen sighed secretly, and didn't continue to talk about it. This kind of private struggle should stop in moderation.
"Okay." Gisele Bundchen said with a smile: "I'm looking forward to the call from the crew."
After a few polite words, she took her leave and left. Kevin Fitch and Jon Favreau delivered them to the door out of courtesy.
Leonardo deliberately lagged behind, and came to Ronan's side: "Can I have a chat?"
Ronan nodded: "Of course."
"This project needs an excellent vase. As long as the basic conditions are met, it doesn't make much difference who you choose." Leonardo has been in the industry for many years, and this simple thing can still be understood: "Am I right?"
Ronan looked at Leonardo, had an idea, and said, "Of course we must choose the best and the most cost-effective one."
Leonardo seems to really care about Gisele Bundchen: "Do me a favor, I know we are not friends, treat it like I owe you a favor."
"No need." Ronan said casually, "Just do me a little favor."
"Leo!" Gisele Bundchen called Leonardo from outside.
"Let's talk." Leonardo still had a vaccination in advance: "It won't be too difficult, right?"
Ronan lowered his voice and said a few words quickly. Leonardo was surprised: "Just reminiscing about the past? Talk to him about the past?"
"Of course." Ronan will not tell Leonardo specifically, and he will not expect too much. He has done a lot before, but the accumulation is more: "I don't need you to do more, and I don't need you to do anything." It will affect your relationship, old friends meet for a meal and just chat."
Leonardo thought about it carefully, and it is true. It is normal for an old friend to reminisce about the past, and immediately replied: "Okay. Don't worry, I will do what I say."
Ronan shook hands with Leonardo. Leonardo is in Hollywood and has a good reputation.
Leonardo left the conference room and walked outside with Gisele Bundchen.
"What did you talk to him about?" Gisele Bundchen was curious.
Leonardo has always been very good at selling in front of women: "Let him do you a favor and give you this role."
Gisele Bundchen took Leonardo's arm: "Aren't you two friends?"
"There is no friendship." Leonardo shrugged slightly: "So, I have to help him a little bit."
Gisele Bundchen leaned over and kissed Leonardo on the face: "Leo, thank you." Then asked: "Aren't you embarrassed?"
Leonardo was in a good mood, and said casually: "It's a little thing, it's not worth mentioning."
The two got into the car, and Gisele Bundchen asked again: "You think this movie will be a hit?"
Leonardo said: "I know Ronan better than most people in this circle, because I used to think that he was a failure, but he defeated my perception time and time again. Giselle, Ronan first spent a lot of money Buying Marvel, and investing another $150 million in the production of "Iron Man", if he is not sure, will he do it?"
Gisele Bundchen is also very business-minded, nodded slowly and said: "If it were me, I would never do this without great confidence."
"If it was another producer, he would be confident and confident. It may be that several successes lead to overinflated self-confidence." The mature Leonardo sees the problem much more clearly than ordinary people in Hollywood: "But Ronan is different. His Confidence has been verified by too many film projects."
Gisele Bundchen said: "I trust your judgment, this series will definitely become another successful career for me besides modeling."
"Let me make a call." Leonardo picked up his mobile phone, dialed a number, waited for the other person to connect, and said, "It's me, Leo. You hid some time ago, and I couldn't reach you anyway. Listen Said you came out, and called you quickly, lest you hide at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean or the Atlantic Ocean, when you have time, let’s have a meal together? What can I do, I haven’t seen you for a long time, Juju.”
The other side responded quickly.
Leonardo put away his mobile phone: "Honey, someone will come to our house tomorrow night."
Hughes Aircraft Factory, meeting room.
"Karolina Kurkova and Gisele Bundchen are pretty much the same." Jon Favreau asked, knowing that he had no decision-making power, "Which one should we choose?"
Kevin Feige looked at Ronan, and Ronan said directly, "Giselle Bundchen."
As Gisele Bundchen's fame grows, the role of Pepper may attract a large number of fans in the future.
Once a fan of Ji Niangniang, she has already stepped out of the fashion circle.
To exaggerate, the former Gisele Bundchen has reached the peak since the emergence of supermodels in terms of business and influence.
In terms of business, no one is sure whether there will be newcomers behind, but Gisele Bundchen has reached a height that can be said to be unprecedented.
Gisele Bundchen was paid extremely well as a model, but as an actor, she was only paid $100,000 for her first film.
Ronan also thought that if Gisele Bundchen's response is better, he can add some scenes of Pepper, maybe with the help of Gisele Bundchen's later achievements, it will bring a different Pepper to the movie.
After "Iron Man" signed the lead actress candidate, Jeff Bridges was finalized to play the role of the villain Iron King, and all the main actors were present.
As long as the roles involved in the later movies, the actors signed long-term contracts.
The film will start shooting in January or February next year, with an expected shooting date of three months, and then it will be officially released in the summer of 2006, thus kicking off the Avengers series.
