Six Hundred and Seventeen-Do You Want to Be the First Black Actress in History?

To a certain extent, Halle-Berry is one of the women who has known Wayne for the longest time, so she also knows the man’s special habits best. What’s rare is that she can still be ruthless and satisfy his private needs. A complete fetish.

Perhaps for the Russian-born man Xiong, who was waiting motionless outside the door of the vanity car, the movement inside the car, like an injured night owl, did not cause him any emotional fluctuations. But for those crew members who heard some vague sounds, they all looked at the closely guarded makeup trailer with strange eyes.

Halle Berry has obviously figured out a lot of things through her years in the industry. At least one thing she is extremely sure of is that she is born better than most passers-by, or is more beautiful than most people who come to Los Angeles with dreams. Girls are much luckier.

And her purpose is also very clear, that is, to seize every good luck God gives her and get more in this fame fair.

Located in the makeup trailer of the Historic Brewery in Toronto, Canada, in the past few dozen minutes, Wayne completely felt the passion and unrestrainedness of this woman. Maybe it's been a while since we last met, but this black pearl doesn't hesitate to show off her beauty, and doesn't care at all that there are hundreds of people shooting outside.

At this time, he was sitting on a chair with a freshly lit cigarette in the corner of his mouth. He tilted his head and took a puff or two from time to time, staring at a place not far in front of him.

A torn and somewhat tattered Stormtrooper costume, or rather a carefully made Stormtrooper costume, a little surprise specially prepared by the woman, was now torn into disarray. Halle Berry bent over with his back to Wayne, trying to remove the strip of cloth from his body.

"Honey, I knew you would definitely like the gift I prepared."

Throwing aside the clothes that had become tatters, Halle Berry didn't care at all about the man's greedy gaze. Like an elegant wild cat, Halle Berry turned around and walked over. "It's just a pity that I only ordered this one."

"It doesn't matter. If you like it, you can customize more others when you return to Los Angeles." A long line of smoke was exhaled by the man, and his voice was also mixed with a joke that adults would understand. "Harry, you are so hot that people are intoxicated. Well, you are so beautiful that people want to tear you apart."

What is Los Angeles most famous for? Of course, it is Hollywood, the world's leading film industry. Wayne has secretly decided to contact him when he gets back and customize a "special" costume. The war like a rainstorm just now made him pay attention to these "special" costumes that he had ignored. Props", with more and deeper ideas.

"Honey."

With a charming smile on her delicate wheat-colored face, Halle Berry looked at the man and licked his lips while adjusting the man's suit and shirt. "I like hearing you praise me. It shows that all my preparations were not in vain."

"It's time for work in the afternoon." After saying that, he didn't care about some marks on his body. He picked up the clothes he had packed and walked to the man's side in a few steps. He raised his eyebrows and asked, "Would you like me to help you get dressed?" ? My dear tyrant."

Unexpectedly, the man put out the cigarette butt on the dressing table, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth that made her shudder. Halle Berry's eyes focused on the man's body, and the hands holding the clothes trembled, and at the same time, there was a smile on his face. An incredible expression.

"No, God, please let me go. I was almost torn to pieces by you just now. Don't you still have work in the afternoon? Wait until the work is over. I swear, your presidential suite, which has always been empty, will be occupied by me early." I just want to experience it for one night..."

Looking at the incoherent woman, Wayne smiled and shook his head as if he were a child who had succeeded in a prank. He took the clothes from the woman's hands and began to put them on himself piece by piece.

Not caring that he was still slim, Halle Berry gritted his teeth and helped the man adjust his shirt collar. Women know very well that since some things have been done 90%, they must tie up the end, otherwise most of the previous efforts may be in vain.

No man doesn't like a woman's tenderness and meticulousness after enjoying the full desire to conquer. This is Hollywood, and the movies have taught her how to do it. It's a pity that she can't have a warm meal in a big shirt. breakfast with love.

"Dear, "X-Men" will finish filming in November at most..."

Gently smoothing the creases on his shirt with his wheat-colored palms, Halle Berry casually said while watching, "This movie won't be released until next summer at the earliest."

Seeing the smile on the man's lips, she didn't take it seriously at all. Under the other's gaze, she neatly put on her clothes while deliberately showing off her hot figure.

Leaning on the chair he was just sitting on, Wayne lit a cigarette again, crossed his hands on his chest, crossed his legs and looked at the rare scenery in front of him, as if to encourage the other person, and said: "Go on, say Go down."

"I heard that your personal film studio will produce a series of projects with a female perspective?" Halle Berry blurted out his purpose without any hesitation.

She knew very well that the man was in a good mood now, and even if he couldn't get something, he wouldn't be angry because of his extravagance. If these things were brought up outside of this makeup trailer, it would be a different conversation atmosphere.

"That's right..."

Nodding, Wayne looked at the woman's uneasy face, whether it was a staged performance or real, his eyes slowly narrowed.

Hollywood is undoubtedly a game of fame and fortune. It is a game, and there will be certain rules. For example, if you enjoy the favor provided by a woman as if she is risking her life, then you must give it within a certain amount and treat yourself as a person. Likewise, do everything in your power to please your woman for what she wants.

Although this rule is not as useful as a piece of tissue paper in the eyes of most Hollywood bosses, at least for him, he really likes this kind of exchange where efforts are rewarded.

"Come on, little wildcat, tell me about your ambitions."

He waved to the woman, and after the woman sat on his lap obediently, Wayne shook his head slightly, tilted his head and looked into the woman's eyes, and said, "While I'm in a good mood, just tell me what you want." What."

Feeling the strong muscles on the man's body, Halle Berry was ecstatic in her heart, but she kept trying to keep her uneasiness on her face. Looking at the strong face of Chi Chi nearby, she suppressed her surprise and whispered tentatively: " Dear, you know that there are too few projects suitable for black people in the industry. Even with your care, it is completely impossible to continue to star in big projects."

Wayne nodded silently, what she was talking about was an objective situation. Hollywood seems to be a global movie factory, with projects starting to shoot every day, but in fact, the number of big projects has always been a scarce resource that countless celebrity agents are eyeing.

Hollywood is not a glamorous and kind place at all. Here, every step you take is fierce competition. It can be said to be a battlefield full of smoke.

And precisely in those projects with a certain investment scale that are not many in the industry, the roles of ethnic minorities are even rarer.

This also means that there are quite a few African-American actors in the industry who are eyeing these rare opportunities. Don't look at these African-Americans who are paranoid about being persecuted all day long. It is much more tragic than the mainstream skin color.

Therefore, any actor who can reach a front-line position in the industry with black skin has almost gone through efforts far beyond ordinary people's imagination.

African-American men are actually better off. After all, whether it's a shit comedy or a variety of commercial productions, there are often funny roles. But African-American women have very few good role opportunities, and they have to compete with countless others.

"I know that there are very few commercial films suitable for African Americans."

Sitting in the man's arms, Halle Berry saw his thoughtful look and waited for a while before continuing: "Even if there are projects that need us, they will be a vase with very few scenes at best."

This is the situation. Of course, in some large-scale commercial productions, there will be some African-American vases, but in terms of the positioning of vases, there are far fewer African-American shots than white ones. These are basically the default rules of the production company. Because no company will take risks in commercial films.

But even the African-American vases in mainstream commercial films must be relatively "white enough" and beautiful enough, and must conform to the aesthetics of the "mainstream public". Fairness, in a commercial society like Hollywood, is Never existed.

Hearing what the woman said slowly as if she was considering it, Wayne suddenly smiled. He looked at the face in front of him, which was definitely considered exquisite among black people, and said with a smile: "Harry, you should know that I I like ambitious women.”

"so......"

When it came to the key point, Halle Berry felt extremely nervous. He stared into the man's eyes and gritted his teeth. "So Honey, I want to ask you, among Greenberg Studio's series of female-perspective films, are there any black women as protagonists? Is there any suitable for me?"

"No!"

Before the woman could close her mouth, Wayne gave her an answer that chilled her heart.

Greenberg Studio will indeed produce a number of projects from a female perspective in the next two years, but to be honest, those projects are also commercial films, and their purpose is to make male audiences willingly walk into the theater and pay for them.

Some of Hollywood's invisible rules do not appear for no reason. For example, no film company has ever impulsively used a black woman as a leading role in a major commercial production, because similar projects simply cannot pass the review.

Even if Greenberg Studio is Wayne's personal property, he will not risk tens of millions of dollars for the woman in his arms. In his eyes, there is no woman in Hollywood worth this price.

Not to mention Halle Berry, the representative actress of this era is not worth the big mouth. The previous Katharine Hepburn, Greta Garbo, Elizabeth Taylor, and even Marilyn Monroe and Audrey Hepburn, even if Sitting on Wayne's lap is still not worth the price.

"I suddenly had an idea, Harry."

What the woman in his arms didn't expect was that after Wayne flatly refused, he said something that made her jump up. "Do you want to be the first black actress in Hollywood history?"

"Do you want to be the first black Hollywood actress in history?"

These words directly caused Halle Berry to jump off Wayne's lap.

Oscar-winning actress is a title that Halle Berry, at least now, has not fantasized about, because it is simply not realistic.

She is relatively familiar with the entire process of Wayne's bid for the Oscar for Best Director, which involved a large amount of media resources, money, and various unprecedented award-winning strategies, and finally achieved the grand occasion on the Oscar stage.

You know, Wayne himself has accumulated enough so-called "points". Before this time, he had been nominated for best director three times. Coupled with his own racial advantages, he can exempt the disadvantages caused by age to a certain extent, allowing the Jewish elders in the circle to hold their noses and vote for him.

This alone is not enough. If there are only the above conditions, it will only give him an opportunity. No one can tell whether the subsequent means of winning awards that lower the Oscar threshold are necessary, but everyone in the industry knows that if Without Warner Bros. and Wayne's gold-dollar strategy, it's really not certain who will win this award.

With all the advantages, so much effort still needs to be made, which shows the fierce competition for Oscar heavyweights.

For Halle Berry, knowing a little more about her would naturally put an end to the so-called dream of a black movie queen, because no matter how you look at it, she doesn't even have a chance of becoming a candidate.

"Honey, are you serious?"

Halle Berry quickly regained his composure, but still looked at the smoking man with a playful look in his eyes with a certain light of expectation. "Still a joke?"

"First of all, you have to make the minimum preparations."

Wayne shook his head, looking like a goat-headed devil with horns on his head, his tone full of temptation to humans. "Harry, think about it, if you can become the first black Oscar-winning actress in history, will you still worry about not having commercial films to come to your doorstep? Will you still worry about not having fashion endorsements? Think about the Greenberg estate, then you will be completely You can buy the same one yourself, and then become a princess in your own territory..."

"What preparations are needed?"

Although he always felt in his heart that this was a prank played by a man for fun, after hearing the man's whisper, Halle Berry couldn't help but think about his future. She kept making psychological hints in her heart. As long as this man wanted to do it, he could definitely make this dream become a reality.

"My dear, no matter what preparations or sacrifices you need to make, as long as I have it, you can take it."

"No, no, no, not now, it needs an appropriate time."

After thinking over the idea carefully in his mind, Wayne put away his smile and shook his head. He stretched out a finger, waved it in front of the woman's face, and said, "Sit down and take care of the work in front of you first. Since I Dare to say, there is a certain degree of certainty, but we all need time to prepare."

"What time?"

The man at the waist wanted to end the topic, but Halle Berry quickly asked. As long as they are practitioners in Hollywood, no one can withstand the temptation of the Oscar statuette, and she is certainly no exception, so she can't wait to ask for more information.

Smiling helplessly and shaking his head, Wayne's mouth twitched. "Don't be stupid, do you think with the current social trend, a black man can stand on the main stage of the Oscars?"

After saying that, he no longer paid attention to the woman's eager gaze, patted her face, opened the door of the makeup trailer, and walked towards the set where filming had begun.

Some things couldn't be said at all. Was he going to tell that woman that two planes would hit the Twin Towers like they were risking their lives? Then the country will fall into serious anti-war sentiment, and social trends will suddenly change dramatically. The mainstream society will begin to hope to unite all the few people who can be united?

Despite Hollywood movies, attacking the ruling figures has become politically correct, but this so-called liberal circle has never been far away from political trends. When the entire society is caught up in anti-war thinking, Oscar, as the public opinion bridgehead of the entire society, must of course stand up and demonstrate and lead to political correctness in his own way.

Under this social trend, the mainstream society is trying its best to unite those few people who never cared about before. Oscar is also a member of the mainstream society, how can they be missing? Therefore, at a certain awards ceremony, two or more minority groups, as representatives, take to the main stage that represents the mainstream, which has become something that many people expected.

Again, since he thought about the causes and consequences, Wayne's approach was to make all preparations first, and then quietly wait for the opportunity to come.

When the right time comes, the emergence of a black movie queen will depend more on social and political trends. In fact, the cost is not high. This is different from Wayne's own pursuit of prizes. He is more like going against countless deep-rooted rules and forcefully getting what he wants, while the latter is more like going with the flow, and there is no comparison in the difficulty of going back and forth.

Regarding this incident that was brought up by chance, Wayne couldn't resist the woman's "tough talk" that night, so he just said, "Pay attention to hone your acting skills," and then stopped raising relevant questions.

The next morning, after carefully checking some of the shots of "X-Men" and confirming that everything in the film was in his plan, he hurriedly got on the plane back to Los Angeles. After all, "The Flash" was on his side. , can be regarded as the primary work plan.

"I noticed that the instructions you gave Harry were also given to Nami more than once on the phone."

On the plane flying to Los Angeles, Nina saw that he had no intention of putting on a blindfold to catch up on his sleep. After talking about work for a while, Nina asked curiously with wide eyes.

"Pay attention to honing your acting skills?" Wayne said.

"That's right." The assistant lady nodded.

"Nina, you have to know that it's difficult to improve one's acting skills in a short period of time."

Shrugging his shoulders, Wayne saw that she was interested in this question and explained casually: "It is common for actors to have short-term acting outbursts, but if they want to maintain a relatively high level for a long time, they must take steps step by step. To practice.”

What he means is very clear. If you want an actor to have a short-term burst of acting skills, there are many methods that can be used, such as Christian Bale in "Battle Hour".

Some actors are very talented and can shorten the time of training and accumulation, such as Nicolas Cage. But there is no doubt that I want to maintain a higher level. This process of accumulation and training must be experienced no matter how long or short it is.

"Tom's acting skills are mediocre most of the time." Nina raised her eyebrows and curled her lips and said, "But it still doesn't affect him. He has become the highest-grossing superstar in Hollywood."

"No, that requires a prerequisite."

Wayne shook his head. "First of all, you have to reach a certain standard, or have the most basic acting skills first. The various temptations after becoming famous and the easy access to fame and fortune will make most actors get lost in it and lose the motivation to continue to hone their acting skills. In the end If the performance ability stagnates, the audience will clearly feel that the actor is acting only by himself."

Looking at the thoughtful assistant, he finally added: "But, Nina, don't underestimate Tom. He will maintain that screen style because the audience likes it and because he can sell it for money. , if you have watched his early films, you will find that Tom Cruise is still so good at acting."

"Then you let Harry and Nami hone their acting skills..."

"Just some plans."

Looking at the white clouds outside the window, Wayne murmured with a smile on his lips: "On the Oscar stage, I said that I would let Nami get the damn statuette!"
