Chapter 816 Don't Mention Football to Me
"What's wrong with you? Charis!"
Excitedly rushing back to Los Angeles overnight, the manager who picked me up from the airport had a straight face when he saw it, "Didn't control my diet? How many days have I stayed in New York, and my body has bounced back!"
"The face is a little swollen!"
Does that mean I lost weight? Charis suddenly couldn't control her emotions and yelled at him, "I was on a red-eye flight all night, I didn't sleep well, and I have to take another trip back to New York tonight to continue acting as the damn call girl! I'm very tired right now." Tired! Are you really tired, woo woo woo..."
"Uh, keep your voice down..."
Her sudden outburst caused people on the left side to look over, the manager's attitude immediately reversed, and he quickly apologized softly, "Why are you still crying? I'm sorry, my fault, I shouldn't have said this to you. Don’t make your eyes swell from crying, Charis, no matter what, you have to show up in front of Tom Hanks in your best form in the morning. Come on, while there is still some time, I’ll take you for a beauty treatment and have some food by the way Stuff, I have also reserved a room for you in a hotel near the audition site, and you can go there to rest and catch up on sleep while waiting. Don’t worry, I have arranged everything. The makeup artist and hair stylist are on standby. Your competitors Not strong, and the latest news I found is that both Mr. Hanks and the casting director are very inclined to choose you."
My main manager is all fringe artists, waiting for the release of Call Girl, Blade Runner, and Unstoppable Miracle on the 6th next year... Humph, I'm no longer a Hollywood anonymous! This time is the last time you speak loudly to me! Charis is secretly proud of the quiet shift of positions between the strong and weak of the two sides.
"Have you gained a little weight?"
Even better news came from Tom Hanks. This top actor’s years of acting experience made him look good as a director for the first time. The audition, which started on time in the morning, unexpectedly went through a cutscene, and she immediately acted pitifully. After tearfully answering that he was just filming Spike Lee's scene in New York, he was too involved, and then he was a little tired after catching the night flight, Tom Hanks took a second look and didn't have any more entanglements.
"That's it? Actually, there are no other auditions today. The rest of the crew and I just went to see the game of cat and mouse yesterday. Everyone is very satisfied with your performance. The appearance of just a few seconds is very impressive. Well done Charis. So... the second female number is yours, let your agent come in and sign the contract, and we'll finish the matter today."
"real!?"
Charis jumped up and screamed happily, she threw her arms around the superstar and novice director to thank, "Thank you! Mr. Hanks, thank you for giving me this opportunity!"
"Just call me Tom."
Hanks patted her on the back gentlemanly, "By the way, pay attention to controlling your body shape. I want to see you in perfection before joining the group. The relevant terms will also be written in the film contract."
"I will! Definitely!" she assured loudly.
"Charles! Miss Theron!"
Just going out to report the good news to the agent and the fat follower, the three hugged each other happily to celebrate, the casting director chased him out, "Take this." He handed over a business card, "My friend's A project, 'Two Days in the Valley' is also looking for actresses to audition, I think you are very suitable for one of the roles, I can contact you to see."
"Valley...Two days..." The manager took the business card for her, the title made him a little confused.
"Don't worry, it has nothing to do with that valley."
The casting director smiled knowingly, "It's a very formal project. The plot structure is a bit similar to Quentin's vulgarity. It has multiple narrative lines and multiple protagonists. If it's filmed, it may even win an award. Your role has a lot of roles, and you can even be regarded as the heroine. Or one of the two heroines, take advantage of the opportunity."
"Oh, how can I thank you..."
Charis was so moved that she hugged her again. The casting director was Gay, and she was worried that he was trying to cheat on her. She was completely wrong.
"For those who want to audition, I just recommended it to the other crew. You are so beautiful, so smart, and work so hard. One day you will succeed. Just treat me as a venture capital investment.
"The casting director liked her, from the beginning.
By the way, why haven't I met Tom Hanks and his kind-hearted and kind-hearted people in the past few years? There is a man who covets his body standing at the door of every opportunity, including APLUS, if I knew it, I would have stayed longer...
well!
Is it my bad luck? Charis leaned on the other's shoulder and sighed slightly.
"Done!"
The salary and other conditions had already been negotiated, and it didn't take long for Charis to officially win the role of the second female lead and the thick script.
"The heroine will be Liv Tyler." The manager reported an unfamiliar name, "Her father is Steven Tyler, the lead singer of Aerosmith."
"It's another second-generation star."
She greedily flipped through the script and sneered, with disdain on her lips and jealousy in her heart, why didn't she have a good father?
"Her mother was a well-known flesh and blood in her early years. She only slept with rock stars, and even with the whole band. It is said that in order to find out who the biological father is, there are more than a dozen singers in the circle who have done paternity tests."
The agent broke the news, and then solemnly reminded, "Don't provoke her in the crew, her connections and resources are not comparable to yours."
"We don't seem to have much rivalry." Charis quickly flipped from beginning to end, and only got part of the audition before.
"If you have time to study this slowly, don't worry, let's go, take a good rest today." The manager went to drive.
"Oh, I have to catch a night flight at night. If I don't show up on the set tomorrow, the assistant director will kill me."
Back at the hotel, the manager couldn't wait to find out about the two-day project in the valley. Charis was very excited. She really wanted to hold a party to spread the good news in Hollywood's circle of friends, but...forget it, until the end Your success is only a short breath away, so you must be patient! She poured herself a large glass of champagne, and proudly raised her neck to suffocate it.
"Huh!" She sighed contentedly, and then her stomach suddenly started to retch, retching.
"What's the matter, Charis?" asked the fat follower.
"It's okay, maybe I drank too fast." She pressed her hands on her chest and felt more comfortable.
"It just so happens that you still have time today, so make an appointment to see your family doctor? You've been having minor health problems lately." The fat follower asked with concern.
"Alright..."
In fact, she wanted to see a doctor a long time ago. After making an appointment, the two drove to the family doctor. When passing by the entrance of a movie theater, she saw a super large poster of the game of cat and mouse outside, which was the crew's "family portrait" version. She knew that the arrangement of the actors on this kind of poster was very particular, the handsome male lead Jared Leto John Malkovich and the second male with a revolver occupy the center of the screen back to back, implying their hostile stance in the plot. The full-body photos of the two are also the largest, and then the third male and the female protagonist Amy Adams are separated on both sides. The male No. 4, Ashley Judd, Xue Linfen and others are strictly arranged in order of coffee positions, and the proportion is getting smaller and smaller.
She has studied it carefully for a long time. There is no herself in the poster, but there is a girl who snatches her role as a bank teller, and there is even Amy Ake who has less roles than herself. Laughing lined up, as the background of the entire poster.
"Send Amy Adams to compete for Best Supporting Actress?"
In this theater, Song Ya is watching the cat-and-mouse game again with Harvey Weinstein who finally showed up. Technical awards or nominations can be regarded as not small victories, and they should still be fought for.
"No, there is no chance, and people will talk about it." Harvey, an award-winning expert, shook his head and refused. He stretched out his finger and said in a big way: "Best adapted screenplay, there is a chance, you let Johnny Carson It’s a good idea for the most famous talk show host in the past to be a screenwriter, his energy alone is not small, I see him jumping up and down recently, he must be very concerned about this award, let’s join hands and work hard together.”
"anything else?"
The movie has just started, and the title titles of Bowell Pictures, Hollywood Pictures, and A+ Movie Studios appear on the screen in sequence. The man turned into a dove and flew away, which was the logo of the Ridley Scott Brothers' Free Film Studio.
"Let us go, it turns out that your logo has been foreshadowed a long time ago, old director..." Song Ya muttered to himself.
"What doves?" Harvey asked.
"nothing."
The conversation continued, "Other awards are difficult, but the best soundtrack has a chance, and that is your field of strength." Harvey said.
"Uh, is there really a chance? Would it be a little rough?"
Song Ya was a little embarrassed, because he was too lazy to make complicated orchestral music carefully, so he just bought the authorization of some old songs according to the original version, and then handed over the numbered notation of the orchestral part to the professional soundtrack artist, and finally the finished product effect was different from the original film Get a little bigger, "and it's Tom and Jerry in the 1940s cartoon style..."
"Believe me, the current judges are going to eat it." Harvey laughed.
"Yeah?"
Song Ya was dumbfounded. If I knew it earlier, I would have put more thought into it. Now it's all right, and I have to share it with the soundtrack artist when I get the award...
"Help John Malkovich get a Best Supporting Actor nomination, perfect!" Harvey planned everything while talking and laughing.
Generally speaking, I can be satisfied, and I am not greedy anymore. After the feature film started, Song Ya quietly drove off to think about other things.
In the past Thanksgiving and Black Friday, the shopping festival for Americans, A+ Apparel also delivered satisfactory results. Thanks to this festival, the profit of this year has increased a lot. Now my business can be described as Attack in all directions, then wait until next year's rich list...
Hehe, he couldn't help grinning happily in the dim auditorium.
"APLUS! Mr. APLUS! Please wait a moment."
After the screening, he was stalked by people from Anschutz Entertainment, the performing arts company in charge of his December concert tour, who also brought along a senior executive from the sports department of the same company.
"Didn't I say it? Don't buy a football team, don't buy a football team!"
The other party repeated the same old tune just now, and took advantage of the cooperation with him to promote the Chicago Fire football team project again.
One is that I don’t want to buy any football team, and the other is that the football movie of the apocalypse is just one episode short of collecting seven. Now it’s in public, Harvey Weinstein is being interviewed by reporters in front of him, and countless cameras are facing him. He didn't want to faint in a place like this.
But it's not easy to just shake your face to get rid of the entanglement of these two guys, so you simply turn your head and step on the high steps in front of the cinema, trying to hide indoors.
"Mr. APLUS, believe me, now there is a new good news, great news!"
The other party insisted, "Do you know? Brazilians like you very much now, and your song AiSeEuTePego is rushing out of Brazil, and its influence is moving towards other Portuguese-speaking countries and even Spanish-speaking countries. It even alarmed Mr. Havelange, Have you heard of Ah Weng? The president of FIFA (World Football Federation) asked us yesterday if you would like to sing the theme song of the World Cup in 1998! That is the theme song of the world's most prosperous sports! Global influence Power explosion! We have a very close cooperation with Anschutz and FIFA, as does Sony Columbia Records where you are, and you have a great opportunity!"
It would be great if there is a chance to sing the theme song of the World Cup, but we can't talk about this kind of thing now, you know? My Lord! "Okay, I'll get my agent to get in touch with them, but I'm not buying any football teams! Don't mention football to me now! No, wait, just wait! Let's get in and sit down and chat! OK ?”
"buy it!"
Anschutz's people don't know what he is afraid of, they are still chattering, "That's good, if you are willing to buy the Chicago Fire, no, just inject part of the equity, it doesn't need to exceed 50%, we I will give you the right to manage the team and help you fight for the theme song of the World Cup. Wait, let me add another condition. In order to promote the Major League Soccer, we also have a plan to cast related movies in Hollywood. Of course, it must be limited to Football theme..."
"Ah M-FXXK!"
Feeling a little dizzy, Tianqi seems to be starting to loosen, "Why did you bring it up to the movie again, you! I told you to talk later! Can't you understand people's words? Wait a minute, let's go inside and talk! Understand!?" He Glaring and roaring at each other.
"Okay, okay."
The Anschutz people finally shut up.
The three people's leather shoes clattered up the stairs and climbed to the highest point. The gate of the theater was close in front of them. Song Ya felt relieved and let out a slight breath.
"To be honest, this is a good opportunity for APLUS. Let me think about our conditions. Football, team, movie, World Cup theme song, any singer in the world will wake up laughing when he hears our conditions. If not It's hard to find someone like you who has flourished in South America, North America, and Hollywood..."
That guy was a talkative guy, one couldn't hold back, and started nagging again, "Huh? Where's the guy?" APLUS who was still in front just now disappeared suddenly, only to see his bodyguards rushing behind him in a hurry.
"Shxt!"
Turning his head to look, for some reason, APLUS's eyes were closed tightly, and this 1.9 meter strong man rolled down the steps with a thud and a thud.
The reporters who were interviewing earlier ignored Harvey Weinstein at all, and rushed to surround him before the bodyguards of APLUS. The shutter of the camera was lit like a flash bomb.
