Chapter 1431: Failed Works

Speaking of "The Beautiful Legend of Sicily", the first reaction of those who have watched it is probably that Monica Bellucci is so beautiful, so beautiful!

Then what?

What is this story about?

Some viewers who have actually watched the film with a little bit of attention may think of the young town boy’s desire to face a beautiful young woman, or the ugliness and madness of human nature in a turbulent background, or the experience of Marlena as a response to the war. accuse and criticize...

The lack of a clear core theme, or the failure of the director Tonadore to show the core theme he wanted, caused the whole story to appear scattered and split. This is actually the failure of the film.

That's right.

Whether it is from a commercial or artistic point of view, "The Beautiful Legend of Sicily" is actually a failed movie.

In the previous timeline, the film was very famous in China because of only one reason, Monica Bellucci's flourishing beauty. This is the same as the popularity of another European actress Sophie Marceau in China. Probably not many people have watched "First Kiss" or "Fang Fang", but Sophie Marceau is so beautiful, beautiful!

Moreover, unlike the high noses, deep eyes and sharp edges common to Western women, the relatively soft faces of the two actresses just fit the aesthetics of the Orientals.

That's all.

Inside the front cabin of a Boeing 767.

Simon looked through the project information about "The Beautiful Legend of Sicily" in his hand, and he roughly understood that the problem was still the same this time.

Giuseppe Tornadore is obviously more inclined to express the youthful sprouting of the small-town boy Renardo in the turbulent era, similar to Lao Jiang's "Sunny Day".

The result ended in failure.

Lao Jiang's "Sunny Day" brought Venice the youngest actor, which is enough to prove the success of the film, because Lao Jiang wanted to tell a sunny story based on his boyhood, although the film failed to win the highest award. The Golden Lion Award, but Venice's youngest actor award, is enough to prove the success of the role of 'Ma Xiaojun'.

In comparison, in the former "Beautiful Legend of Sicily", the leading actor Reynado hardly left any impression on the audience, and the limelight was completely robbed by Monica Bellucci.

After sorting out these problems, Simon asked the little girl next to him to find the complete script, browse it quickly, and then took the project file again for annotation.

Denied for now.

Ask Tornatore to revise the script, or increase the role of the leading actor Renardo to make this role more complete and vivid. Or, completely focus on the heroine and shoot a real "Marlena", which is the literal translation of the script.

Simon did not hide his bias, expressing his preference for the latter.

After writing his own opinion and turning to the next project information, Simon was still a little bit emotional.

If it’s not where it is now, but from the audience’s point of view, of course, let Tonadore go to shoot, and then find Monica Bellucci. As for whether the film will win an award, it will be sold or not. Box office, who cares?

Now Simon, of course, is still seeking his own government in his place.

Moreover, Simon, who has read all the flowers, doesn't have any special thoughts on Bellucci. The actress has never appeared because of Simon, a big butterfly. friendship and the like.

It doesn't matter.

Thinking of this, Simon went back to the information just now, and added a sentence at the end of the annotation, the heroine, Alexandra Martinis.

Princess Golden Rose Cave is no worse than Monica Bellucci in all aspects, and she is more in line with Simon's aesthetics. She is also of Italian origin, and because of her own woman, the opportunity is right, and of course the fat will not flow to outsiders.

...

Working all the way like this, when I arrived in New York, it was already past seven o'clock in the evening on the east coast.

After making an appointment in advance, Simon rushed directly to Irene Lauder's mother and son.

In addition, the pearl-returning trio who accompanied them all the way from the performance of "Blooming Blossoms" to "Three Sisters Compete for Beauty" were taken away by the butler team. Although all the way was just to enjoy the flowers and did nothing else, Simon was still not stingy, and he wrote a check for 1 million US dollars to the three women, asking them to play in New York for a few days before going back.

In a black Mercedes limousine leaving JFK International Airport.

The trio squeezed together in the back seat.

In fact, there are two cars to sit in, and because the little maid has risen suddenly with the help of "Legend of Sword and Fairy", including the somewhat different attitudes of men towards her, Big Eyes and Ziweihua originally huddled together to reject her.

When getting in the car this time, Big Eyes took the initiative to invite the other party together.

The main reason is that before getting off the plane, the man casually handed over the $1 million check to the little girl.

The atmosphere was awkwardly silent for a while, the big eyes sitting in the middle finally opened his mouth, and said to the little maid on the right: "Hey, can I have a look at that check?"

Can be mixed up to now, the three girls are actually goblin level, and none of them is lacking in discernment, the little girl already understood the intention of calling her to take a car with big eyes, but after getting in the car, she deliberately kept silent, hanging on to the other two people beside her, It wasn't until the people around him made a request that he showed a smile: "Okay."

As he spoke, he took out the check from the red Hermes satchel he carried with him.

The big eyes took it, and Ziweihua on the other side immediately looked over.

Looking at the long string of numbers on the check, which is still in US dollars, the three women have mixed feelings.

This time they were suddenly airlifted to North America, and Big Eyes and Ziweihua were somewhat reluctant.

The main reason is that men's attitudes towards them cannot be described as bad. Otherwise, if they can be like his real lover in China, such as Zhu Momo, who is too tall in the courtyard mansion in Mao'er Hutong, plus the identity of a man, they will definitely be willing.

The problem is that, according to the titles in ancient China, if Zhu Momo is regarded as a concubine, the men treat the three of them, obviously the connecting room maids are not counted, it is just that when the master comes and wants to serve the bed at the same time. My ordinary companion girl.

Or, thinking about the time on the cruise ship in Suzhou, the status may be even lower.

What's more, if they can get in touch with such a big figure as Simon Westeros before "My Fair Princess", they still won't have much resistance. However, the three women are now big stars known throughout the country, and even those suitors around them, even if they are rich and powerful, treat them politely and try their best to please them.

In comparison, a certain person is simply a cow chewing peonies.

Well, no.

To be more appropriate, it should be Niu Tiao Peony.

In short, with the current fame, there is still a strong contrast around him, of course he is reluctant.

It's just that reluctance is not reluctance. A few days ago, I received a notice that even if Ren Jingxi, who knew about this incident, said that they could not come if they didn't want to come, she would help to talk about it. In the end, the three girls got on the plane together .

The main reason is that a certain little girl is too enthusiastic.

Seeing this, the other two girls will look at "Legend of Sword and Fairy" which has just been aired recently and is being competed by various provincial and TV stations. If they don't come, they will just be thrown away by the little maid in the future. Westeros, think about the figure of someone flashing everywhere in the current Chinese film and television circles, that is not the sky high and the emperor is far away, and it is just a word to stop their careers every minute.

Now, looking at the long string of zero checks in front of me, I can't help but feel, it seems that this is not bad.

After all, the current Chinese film and television industry does not make money. Given the popularity of the three girls with "Huan Zhu Ge Ge", no one can make so much money in the past year with all kinds of film appointments, advertisements, and outings.

For example, "Han Zhu Ge Ge 2", which is scheduled to start filming early next year, the stingy Niang Niang finally gave her a generous hand this time. The little maid and Ziwei Hua only gave 5,000 yuan per episode. Because the contract was signed in advance, even if "Sword of Heaven" became popular at the moment, the little maid was only paid 3,000 yuan. The second part plans to have 46 episodes, but it does not mean that everyone can earn 46 episodes, but it is calculated according to the length of appearance, so even if it is the two most paid little maids, it is estimated that each of them can only get more than ten. RMB 10,000, or about 20,000 U.S. dollars in conversion.

Now, a certain man just writes a check for them, which is 1 million US dollars.

1 million US dollars, converted into RMB, based on their 5,000 yuan salary, it is estimated that they have to perform hundreds of TV dramas to earn this much money. The problem is that they may not be able to act in hundreds of TV dramas in their lifetime.

Hearing the big eyes sitting in the middle swallow saliva, Ziweihua on the left was the first to wake up, feeling her mouth was a little dry, she paused, and subconsciously asked: "How do we divide this money?"

Hearing the words with big eyes, he turned to look at the little maid.

Taking advantage of her big eyes not paying attention, the little girl stretched out her hand to draw the check back and put it in her bag again. Seeing that the two girls next to her were staring at her, as if they wanted to snatch it, she took a protective posture and took the chicken feather. Arrow of the moment: "Mr. Westeros kept it for me."

The big eyes immediately said: "This is for the three of us."

The little maid nodded: "I know, when I get to the residence..." She gestured to the front row: "I'll ask them how to exchange it, and then I'll talk about it."

Ziweihua is still more concerned about the question she just asked: "1 million, three people... how to divide?"

The little servant girl glanced at her through her big eyes, a little contemptuous: "I'm at a disadvantage, as long as 333,333, the extra dollar, each of you is 50 cents, okay?"

Ziweihua heard the disdain in the little maid's tone, and said dissatisfied: "What's your attitude, I'm just asking."

The little maid didn't back down: "What you're asking is nonsense, can I still take your share? Besides, Mr. Westeros said it was pocket money for our shopping in New York, and you wouldn't want to change it. Should I turn it into cash and bring it back home?"

Ziweihua couldn't bicker, so she simply turned her head away.

The big eyes couldn't help but said: "1 million US dollars, surely we can't spend it all?"

The little girl actually thought so in her heart, but she didn't agree with her mouth: "Small, 1 million is just a little more than we look at, and it's about the same as a dime with Mr. Westeros, but he has 1.8 trillion US dollars. "

The big eyes were speechless immediately.

The car traveled all the way north and soon arrived at Sandpoint City on the north shore of Long Island.

When I was still at the airport, the waiter who came to pick up the three women asked them where they wanted to live, the urban area or the suburbs, the three women and one together, and heard that rich people in the United States lived in the suburbs, so they also said the suburbs.

In fact, I want to go to the city.

However, when the black Mercedes-Benz stopped in the Linhai Manor on the side of Sandian City, in the night, looking at the brightly lit castle-like villa in front of them, the three women inevitably felt a little dazed.

A few days ago, the Linhai Manor in San Lucas, Mexico, was even more luxurious than this one, but the three women were not paying attention to it at the time, subconsciously they only thought that it was a certain man's property, and they were just passers-by. Now, looking at the manor in front of him, and thinking that this time it was only a residence for the three of them, it felt very different.

Follow the Mona Elmeri who will be in charge of their daily life into the villa

Turning around, the three women almost had an idea at the same time.

How nice it would be to live here forever.

So settled down.

Then, it was only Sunday, when I found out that the team of waiters here was responsive to them, and the three women were all very smart and fuel-efficient goblins. After some exploration, I quickly discovered all kinds of them as Westeros. The privileged treatment available to women soon opened up a whole new world for themselves.

A new week is here.

It's Monday, November 16th.

I spent a whole day shopping in Manhattan yesterday, and went to Broadway to watch the famous "Cats". Although I couldn't understand it, it was considered arty.

Back to Sandian City, it was already past eleven o'clock at night.

After another toss, the three of them didn't fall asleep until early in the morning.

Without a job, she could sleep as long as she wanted, but the little maid tried her best to get herself out of the warm bed at seven o'clock in the morning.

She sleeps alone.

The surface is harmonious, but the other two women are obviously isolating her and deliberately sleeping in the same bedroom.

The little maid didn't care about that either.

After all, the three women are destined to be in a competitive relationship, and it is impossible to be intimate.

Wearing a pink home casual suit that I picked in the cloakroom here yesterday, I came downstairs and happened to meet Mona Elmeri, the villa housekeeper who was in charge of their daily life. I learned about it in detail during the conversation yesterday. This is a The Italian girl, 26 years old this year, has a tall figure in her early 170s, with very fair skin and a charming oval face that can easily be judged as a vixen in the East.

The little maid privately felt that a certain big shot must like this type very much.

Of course, this has nothing to do with her.

What the little maid did was to establish a good relationship with this Weijia maid who is very fluent in Chinese in just one day. In the first class, there is still no arrogance at all.

The main reason is that after returning to the country, there will be someone who can contact here, and the identity of the other party may bring him unexpected benefits.

Seeing the little maid, Mona Elmeri, who was holding a folder in her arms, immediately stopped and greeted in Chinese with a smile: "Ms. Fan, good morning."

"Good morning," the little maid also greeted with a smile and asked, "What are you going to do?"

"Some red wine just arrived in the wine cellar, I'll sign for it," Elmery explained, and made another gesture of invitation: "Miss Fan must have breakfast, I'll take you there."

The little maid nodded, and the two turned to the east corridor together, and she asked again: "By the way, did you find some newspapers and magazines about Hollywood that I asked you to help collect yesterday?"

On the plane the day before yesterday, the little maid tried to see if a certain man could come to North America to develop.

Although I played all day yesterday, the little maid did not forget about it.

In addition to paying attention to relevant information when he went shopping in Manhattan, he also asked Elmery, who had become acquainted, to help him collect some newspapers and magazines, and planned to study them. In addition, before going to bed last night, the little girl thought about some other ideas and planned to test them out today.

It's very simple, the man doesn't directly help, it seems that he doesn't forbid her to try hard on her own.

Based on the information obtained yesterday, Simon Westeros, as a woman, is very popular in the American entertainment industry.
