Keanu Reeves had just woken up from his queen-size bed in his long-term suite at the Hacienda Marmont when he received his audition tape for First Fear.
In view of the influence of some strange brainwashing packages, many people have the impression that Keanu is poor, can't even afford a house, can only live in hotels, and even hang out with homeless people.Oh, maybe there is also the rumor that he was disillusioned because of his dead girlfriend?
In short, he seems to have become a poor little boy who failed in his career, has no money and power, and is infatuated and innocent.
However, the fact is that Keanu has lived in one of the most luxurious hotel suites in West Hollywood for a long time. He has motorcycles and Porsche sports cars under his name. cool style.
Moreover, he is not a purely infatuated character.
A truly innocent person can't last long in Hollywood, and a truly infatuated person will not have a woman to follow him. There was even a time when he just opened the door of this room, and there was a woman waiting for him outside the door.
It's just that all the frivolous indulgence in youth ended in the year when his good friend Rui Fan Phoenix passed away.
Now Keanu has changed a new way of life, even if this way makes some people laugh at him as a "saint".
However, self-cultivation can give people peace of mind.
Because this circle is too impetuous.
His manager, Owen Stoff, entered the room, opened the brown paper bag in his hand, took out a video tape and stuffed it into the player.
"Keanu, I think you'd like to see this." Owen Stoff said.
Keanu had just gotten out of bed, and while pulling on a pair of dark blue prps jeans, he looked up and asked, "What, a videotape?"
"Yes, the audition tape." Owen Stouff adjusted the machine and turned on the TV again, "Paramount's "First Fear", I mentioned it to you, but yesterday they let Richard Gere Went to try it out and obviously it worked out. I guess we're out."
Keanu put on a black T-shirt without a pattern, which was a little wrinkled. He stroked his hair casually, and poured two glasses of water for himself and Owen Stoff.
"Look, you have to know why," he said.
The video player started playing.
On the screen first appeared a blond girl sitting in front of an ordinary table. She was wearing a very close-fitting black camisole on the upper half of her body. Her thin body and pale complexion gave her a sense of fragility.
At this time, the girl lowered her head, lowered her eyes, her shoulders were slightly relaxed, and her hands were folded on her knees, revealing a three-quarter profile bust.
She didn't raise her head, but the lines of her side face, shoulders, neck, and arms were all very smooth, giving this frame a tranquil and elegant beauty.
Then, the sound of footsteps came from outside the camera.
The actress's shoulders were already tense and pulled inward, her long and slender neck became relaxed, and her whole body became a bit stooped, her ten fingers interspersed and overlapped, and her thumb seemed to habitually pick at the dead skin on the edges of her fingers .
In an instant, the graceful white swan transformed into a helpless wretch.
She raised her head, with hope and anxiety in her eyes.
At this moment, the lawyer played by Richard Gere enters the screen.
"Who is this girl." Owen Storf said to himself, "Wait, I seem to know her, is that popular teen idol star Josie Horton who played "Leading the Show"? Oh God, she is so good at acting, it's so surprising!"
"Josie Horton?" Keanu sat on the sofa and took a big sip of water. He felt that the girl looked familiar.
Owen Stoff said: "You may pay little attention to this, Keanu, she made a phenomenal youth film, and she is the hottest super newcomer this year - just because of this one film."
"Looks good, can she handle Richard Gere's scene?" Keanu asked casually.
Richard Gere, who came from a stage play background, has been nominated for Golden Globe Awards and Emmy Awards many times. His acting skills are well-known, but his roles are always somewhat similar. He is good at playing mature and handsome men.
So even with half-long hair and flushed skin after returning from vacation, Richard Gere only needs to stand there, and his whole atmosphere is very elite.
And Richard Gere's performance is still similar to the previous ones, with his unique sense of gentleman in every gesture, both steady and majestic, but also shrewd and conceited. good.
"Look, this role is indeed suitable for him." Owen Stoff said, "So before the script was written, they found Richard Gere, but the salary has not been negotiated."
Keanu is envisioning himself playing the part of the lawyer.
Indeed, he is convinced that he can play a lawyer very well, because his growth environment has allowed him to understand the emotional core of this elite class, and he has the confidence to show that strong decision-making power and action power.
But the problem is that Richard Gere's elegant demeanor and sudden outburst of villainy are really suitable for this role.
This basically destroyed Keanu's already modest ambitions to join the competition for First Degree Fear.
Yes, it's a good character.
But Richard Gere is more suitable than Keanu Reeves, so Keanu decided to give up without thinking long.
——That shouldn't be his role.
The confrontation in the video tape reached its climax. The girl star Josie Horton seemed to be completely suppressed by the old Hollywood veteran Richard Gere, repeating the same line all the time.
Owen Stoff commented: "Actually, she is still so young, it is already very impressive to be able to do this—Fxxk!"
His voice came to an abrupt end.
And Keanu's full attention was also attracted by the girl who was performing——
"Who the hell are you?"
The cowardly, sensitive, fragile, and even a bit dull harmless girl in the first half transformed into another completely different, more Alpha strong personality at this moment.
Her whole body stretched out as if reborn, but the posture was not as graceful and restrained as it was at the beginning, but a kind of tightness.
Just like a cheetah looking for a target, the hunt has not yet started, her steps are lazy but vigorous, every muscle is ready to go, full of strength and gives a strong sense of crisis.
"Do you understand?"
A cold but forceful line that accurately captures the mood of arrogance and crass impatience.
Owen Storff couldn't help but swear: "Fuck it, Richard Gere is being suppressed by this girl!"
"Yes, Owen, I can see it." Keanu replied.
At some point, Keanu had already leaned forward, crossed his hands, and rested his chin with his fingers, and was thinking about every move of the actress in the audition video just now.
The small TV screen cannot clearly and comprehensively show the scene of the audition at that time, but it is enough to let people see that the performances of the two actors are on the standard line, emotions have exploded one after another, and the drama is full of tension.
But compared to actresses whose personalities seamlessly switch from one to the other, Richard Gere's role is not so shocking due to the plot setting and other reasons.
It's not that the life-like performances are not excellent, but that in this situation where the two sides confront each other, the dazzling performance style is more eye-catching and explosive.
It is especially worth mentioning that the ability to control the subtle expressions is amazing. It is clearly the same pair of eyes, but they can give people completely different looks in an instant.
This must be an extremely talented actor.
Keanu couldn't help but rewind the tape and watch it several times, until the last time, he suddenly frowned.
"I saw her at Geffen's party." Keanu pressed the pause on the remote control, frowned and said, "Sorry, Owen, we probably won't get this role anymore."
Owen Stoff and Keanu looked at each other, frowned, and said, "Is that what I mean? Fxxk, Geffen tricked us!"
"It was us who never got the role from start to finish," Keanu said calmly. "That's the way he does things, man, and he wants me to know that being in the A-list Hollywood is just another start, not a sign that I'm going to be there." Detached, or above him. He can be my friend or my enemy."
"Damn it, I bet Paramount has a hand in this—so Keanu, what are you going to do next?" Owen Stoff asked.
Although he is the manager, since Keanu's acting career is on the right track, his work is more on specific matters than on the control of Keanu's career.
Keanu looked forward, palms pressed together, index finger and thumb in an L-shape, close to his forehead, nose tip to chin between three points.
He closed his eyes, took a deep breath and said, "You know, Owen, Geffen has helped me a lot. For me, he is one of my guides in Hollywood. I once respected him very much."
"Yes, I know." Owen Stoff sat next to Keanu, "But that doesn't change the fact that he's an asshole."
Keanu didn't say anything, just opened his eyes and said: "No, what exists between me and him is a difference in philosophy, he is still my friend and someone I respect."
Owen Stoff shook his head and asked: "Even if he is going to make trouble for you next, do you still believe in this? Keanu, you have to know that the matter of "First Fear" is just the beginning. David. Geffen's only dictionary is friend or foe, and he always hits his enemies hard."
"Don't be so pessimistic, Owen." Keanu smiled, "Maybe I should find an opportunity to talk to Geffen, I always think that we are friends, but my idea of seeking change during this time is too radical and too persistent , making it hard for him to accept."
Owen Stoff shrugged and replied: "In any case, those old guys will not listen to you. They are used to this kind of Hollywood, and they are used to not being bound by moral sense. I know, you are a Good people, but the problem is, there are so few good people in this circle, you may cause public outrage."
He paused, thought for a while, and said, "That being said, I kind of agree that you haven't completely fallen apart, because Geffen obviously didn't disclose the breakdown of your talk, which is a disguise. Kind of protection, at least things are still under control."
"But my original intention will not change." Keanu frowned again, and said carefully, "I heard that there is a newcomer's party that is becoming more and more famous now?"
"Yes, it's a director named Bryan Singer." Owen Stoff replied, "Believe me, this is not a good time to talk about him. You'd better resolve the issue between you and David Geffen first." conflicts between them, and then do the work of saving the world after reaching a consensus.”
In fact, Bryan Singer's sex parties have become a scene in the circle.
The director's first feature film "The Media" made him win the Sundance Film Festival Jury Award as soon as he debuted, and his second work "The Usual Suspects" made him even more famous and became the new generation of Hollywood. A leading figure among directors.
But the rapid success of his career has obviously made the director fall into the glitzy life of Hollywood's luxury and money. It is normal for a party to call hundreds of young and beautiful boys. Star Kevin Spacey is a regular at parties.
Even so, there are still people flocking to his parties.
On the one hand, Bryan Singer himself has directing talent; on the other hand, the backer behind Bryan Singer is David Geffen, who rarely shows his talents.
Geffen seems intent on nurturing the disgraced director.
Keanu closed his eyes again, took a deep breath and said, "Okay, I accept your suggestion, I will find a chance to talk to Geffen."
