[US Entertainment] Popular all over the world

While Gwyneth Paltrow was dawdling and not moving, the men who went to the smoking room to smoke after dinner were also talking about her.

"To be honest, your girlfriend is really not flattering." Little Edgar Bronfman held a cigar and shook his head at Brad Pitt, "As an actor, she even I can't control the basic expressions, and I feel embarrassed for her."

"Gwen..." Brad Pitt could only explain in this way, "In fact, she is a very simple girl, her likes and dislikes are written on her face."

Edgar Bronfman Jr. smiled, "We all understand, spoiled lady. It's a good thing that your relationship looks good, and it's a good thing that Josie didn't know the whole thing. Oh, I have to Speaking of Josie, her Oscar performance really brought tears to my eyes."

Lon Mayer and David Geffen looked at each other. Unlike Edgar Bronfman Jr., they would take the critics' flattery seriously.

They are more concerned about how much money Josie Horton—or Frank Horton—had spent to get this Oscar nomination, and whether Frank Horton really planned to enter Hollywood.

James Cameron's shipwreck romance?

The current budget is not really a big production, maybe James Cameron just got tired of Arnold Schwarzenegger and tried to make a love movie to practice his hands.

Anyway, most of the people in power in Hollywood are not very optimistic about this script.

Geffen asked, "Ed, you know Frank Horton, what do you think he wants to do? Now many people know that he has a huge sum of money in his hand, and he is the kind of investor that Hollywood loves most." .”

Little Edgar Bronfman pushed his glasses, and replied: "Who knows, no one on Wall Street can guarantee to see through Frank's mind. Described. But if he really wants to do something, it will definitely bring him benefits, even if it is difficult for many people to understand."

In fact, this descendant of a wealthy family dropped out of school to hang out in Hollywood. The vicissitudes of Wall Street all come from the words and deeds of his grandfather, who is a Wall Street tycoon.

Geffen was silent for a few minutes, breathing out the smoke slowly.

"So, what about the original money—" He still decided to ask about this matter, because the current DreamWorks has not yet established a firm foothold, and it is far inferior to the Big Six, which has a deep foundation. It is really coveted for investors with such abundant funds.

"Oh. You're talking about the money he got in prison. At that time, he made a lot of money." Edgar Bronfman Jr. knew everything about his friends, "At least half the amount of Columbia, his few The jail meal was worth it, it was gold-plated in it. Now he just needs to get that money back slowly - clean and clear - and he can get out of that mad dog prosecutor's nose gone."

Get it back for nothing?

Well, Hollywood is indeed the hardest-hit area for money laundering on Wall Street, but the newly established DreamWorks thinks it can't cope with such a large sum of money in half of Colombia, and people from the government are eyeing it.

Geffen had no choice but to dismiss his thoughts with great regret.

——Hey, top-notch bullies like Edgar Bronfman Jr. are truly rare.

Lon Meyer turned to ask: "David, if that's the case, will Josie still be left with the role of "Death Vacation"?"

"Stay." Regarding Josie's stardom, Geffen is quite optimistic, "She has just been nominated for an Oscar, and she will join the group to shoot the romantic comedy with Tom, and she will soon transform from a youth idol It’s a critical stage when her career starts to take off. If she flies, then there is no need to audition for that role; if not, everything will go to this project according to the normal process.”

Lon Meyer nodded, not at all thinking that there was anything wrong with taking Universal Pictures' internal affairs and asking David Geffen's opinion over his immediate boss, Edgar Bronfman Jr.

His immediate boss would take the matter to Geffen anyway.

"Actually, I'm a little curious." Little Edgar Bronfman interjected, "According to Miss Horton's worth, if you want to act in any movie, you can just spend your own money to make it. Why do you have to fight for the shipwreck romance movie?" lead actress? I don’t think James Cameron, a director of sci-fi action films, would be suitable for a slow-paced romance.”

He set his sights on David Geffen and Brad Pitt. Both of them should have read the script outline of "Titanic", and the latter even participated in the audition.

"The end of commerce is art." Geffen said.

"What kind of story is that?" Edgar Bronfman Jr. asked, "Is there a savior and action scenes?"

"As the name suggests, the tragedy of love on the Titanic, the story of the rich lady and the poor boy." Brad Pitt also read the script and picked up some unimportant things and said, "Actually, the story is quite simple. If Not because it's a James Cameron movie, it doesn't have much appeal."

"But, that's exactly what it is." Geffen said, "Everyone knows that James Cameron is one of the most successful commercial film directors in the world today. He used "True Lies" to prove that he can not only make science fiction films. , maybe "Titanic" will open up a new romance classic."

Lon Meyer shook his head, "But just looking at James Cameron's script outline and shooting plan, it is more likely that Fox will repeat the mistakes of "Cleopatra" this time, rather than welcome a new one. classic."

In order to shoot a movie, go to Mexico to choose a location to reconstruct the real shipwreck scene?

Now that the special effects of movies are so sophisticated, there is absolutely no need to spend such a large amount of money. I heard that the crew of "Titanic" even found the teacups custom-made by the manufacturer that supplied the luxury ship back then, not to mention those Expensive handmade furniture.

There is no crew like this in Hollywood. Even the "Cleopatra" didn't build a real palace, right?

It sounds like this plan is burning money, and only Fox, who has already boarded the shipwreck, has no choice but to continue to support James Cameron's crazy and paranoid ideas.

"Actually, I quite appreciate James Cameron's generosity." Edgar Bronfman Jr. said with a smile, "It's a pity that his cooperation with Fox has been very pleasant, otherwise I would rather [-] million to complete this large-scale project.”

Ron Meyer coughed and didn't answer.

In fact, just looking at James Cameron’s script outline, it’s hard for a big company to invest money, because action movies have been popular in the past two years, and there are romance movies, but who will give 7500 million US dollars to a romance movie? budget?Even if Tom Cruise is invited to play the leading role, it does not cost this price.

Moreover, there are many insurmountable gaps between sci-fi action movies and romantic movies. Even though James Cameron is already a very successful director of commercial films, he still cannot be trusted.

At least as the president of Universal Pictures, Ron Mayer will not give the green light to this project.

On the other hand, the ladies get along well.

Josie gave full play to her already lit social skills, and had a good chat with the wives of the two big bosses of Universal Pictures, and she didn't even neglect Gwyneth Paltrow, who was unusually quiet tonight, which can be said to be quite Long sleeves are good at dancing.

Instead, Gwyneth Paltrow herself was very uncomfortable.

She felt as if she had become a dispensable foil, and seemed to be isolated by Josie Horton invisibly, but only on the surface, she couldn't find any fault in Josie Horton's behavior.

But she really didn't want to hear about art investment and the like!

Why can't they chat about the latest generation of anti-wrinkle surgery, or the hottest beauty treatment in Beverly Hills these days?With these two things, she can tell the contents of a book without thinking about it.

Money, money!

Do they care about money that much?

A good art collection is tarnished to the ground by Josie Horton's open-mouthed investment value and appreciation space.

Besides, a girl like Josie Horton, why can she have a lively chat with these forty-something old women?

Oh, look at this flattering face!

She must have flattered others like this, so she got the nomination and the role smoothly!

Gwyneth Paltrow couldn't help feeling sullen, and subconsciously forgot about apologizing in person.

Josie glanced at Gwyneth Paltrow from the corner of her eye, just in time to take a panoramic view of the changing expressions on her face, but she only curled her red lips, and turned her head to continue talking to Mrs. Bronfman—— Ms. Clarissa Alcock, a descendant of the richest man in Venezuela, talked about the stolen artwork from the Gardner Museum in Boston.

Hey, if given the chance, she would really like to put those works of art... Well, stop, her current funds are not qualified to show signs.

Before leaving, they even exchanged their contact information.

David Geffen personally sent a car to take Josie home. He obviously wanted to have a private conversation with her, but surprisingly, as soon as the black Rolls-Royce drove away, he entered directly.

"Josie, do you know what Keanu has been doing lately?" Before Josie could answer, Geffen continued, "He was injured while playing hockey some time ago, and he entered the new film after a few weeks of recuperation. Shooting. He was back in Los Angeles recently to talk about a movie project, and I think the female lead in it would be a good fit for you."

Keanu hurt?

Josie silently calculated that they hadn't seen each other for about three months, during which he seemed to be on a tour, and she sent someone to order flowers to be delivered to the backstage of the scene, which was very suitable for her status as a friend.

No more than that - so she didn't even get news of his injury.

It was obvious that neither of them was ready for a serious relationship, and a little sleep every once in a while was just fine for each other.

After that, Josie met Edward in New York, and she didn't have any extra thoughts to pay attention to others.

"The heroine?" Josie seemed a little moved, but quickly said, "Oh, please, don't tell me, I've been too busy recently. I'm going to have a makeup trial for "Mr. Sweetheart" soon, after attending the Oscars We have to get into the set and shoot, and the rest of the year was supposed to be reserved for Titanic—if we get signed."

After hearing the words, Geffen smiled slightly.

He said in a very gentle tone: "You should listen to it. This is a schizophrenic role, which is very challenging and suitable for your acting style. I also heard that Warner intends to invite Al Pacino to play The other main character—you, are you really not moved?"

Josie couldn't help taking a deep breath.

Then she shook her head and smiled wryly: "Oh, this! Just hearing Al Pacino's name already made me accept the script without even reading it."

Al Pacino, not Keanu Reeves?

Geffen couldn't help but look at the blond beauty in front of him more. Her distress and hesitation were so real, she looked like an ordinary man swinging between a pair of beauties, with the same unsatisfactory desire and the same unwillingness to give up.

"Perhaps, you can ask Keanu to adjust the schedule." Geffen seemed to remind casually, "—for you."

The smile on the corner of Josie's lips froze slightly, as if she hadn't noticed Geffen's temptation, and there was a little tenderness in her eyes,

"Forget it, I don't want to embarrass him." She lowered her eyes and answered like this.

"Why is it difficult? He treats you very differently, you should feel it." Geffen's tone was very firm, "Good girl, if you want to get something, you have to take the initiative."
