Hollywood Rhapsody

"I didn't smoke a cigarette today, I brushed my teeth after dinner, and I ate two mints before you came."

"What... what..." Sarah was a little confused.

"Hey, did you really become a stupid rabbit?" Leonardo seemed to sigh lowly, lifting Sarah's drooping chin with his index finger, and explained patiently with a smile, "I mean, I'm going to kiss you."

"WH..." Sarah's eyes blinked like a confused little kitten, and Leonardo's lips had already covered them.

Unlike the impulsive and domineering one when he found the poster, he obviously kissed more patiently, rubbing his lips lightly, and patiently licking Sarah's soft lips with the tip of his tongue, as if greeting in this way, begging Sarah in a gentlemanly manner Only with his permission did he dare to step into the beautiful girl's boudoir.

The kiss was slow and long. When the lips of the two separated, Sarah had already calmed down from the shock, because the frustration of the performance was also appeased, her arms were softly supported on Leonardo's chest, She pursed her lips before whispering, "Thank you...a very thoughtful comfort..."

"So do you feel better? Are you more relaxed?" Leonardo pinned Sarah's broken hair behind his ears with his fingers, and smiled softly, "Look, I'm not a scourge, and I'm not aggressive. We Can be more intimate, can't you?"

Sarah didn't answer, but also curled the corners of her mouth.

Leonardo kissed Sarah on the forehead again before opening the car door for her, and sat in the driver's seat himself. He started the car and asked curiously: "SO, can you tell me now? What are you nervous about?" ?”

"This...probably...the idol plot is at work?" Sarah relaxed a lot, but she still didn't know how to answer Leonardo's question. After all, she couldn't explain her fan career that lasted more than ten years. Among all the Hollywood superstars, even if Elizabeth Taylor or Katharine Hepburn appeared in front of her eyes, Sarah might not lose her composure. Leonardo was special and unique in her heart.

"What?" Leonardo stepped on the brakes, put his hands on the steering wheel, turned his head and widened his eyes, and looked at Sarah in disbelief, every detail of his expression said something—" Idol plot? Are you kidding me?"

"We've always had a good time together, right? But now you...WOW..." Leonardo couldn't find the right adjectives to express his mood at the moment, "I can feel your appreciation for me, from Oscar No. I've read it in your eyes since we first met, but...you idolize me? How is that possible? I haven't forgotten your prediction that I won't be nominated for an Oscar, and the disdain I guess I will never forget the look in my eyes when I was childish, the contempt revealed in your beautiful 17-year-old eyes."

"Wrong, where did I despise you?" Sarah protested innocently, snowing in June, she was more wronged than Dou E.

"When I said that I would not attend the Oscars, your eyes and expression conveyed your dislike for me. You must have been laughing at me-'This guy is too naive, who does he think he is?'" Lai Leonardo pointed out Sarah's crime very positively, and even pinched his throat to imitate Sarah's tone and said so.

Immediately afterwards, under Sarah's little expression of being wronged and entangled, she laughed "puchi".He stretched out his hand as if to comfort a cat, and purred on the top of Sarah's hair. Under Sarah's dissatisfied stare, he separated his fingers and combed the messy hair again. Is she staring at the idol she is obsessed with like this? No, they will just rush forward screaming, asking for autographs, group photos, hugs and even passionate kisses, this is the normal behavior when facing idols."

"... Whatever you say..." Sarah could only helplessly shrug her shoulders and spread her hands, and then slapped her dishonest hands away very naturally. After finishing this action, she froze for a moment and looked at Leonard Looking at his hands again, Duo couldn't help shaking his head and laughing.

The car restarted and drove in the night. Sarah and Leonardo talked about the failure of the previous drama again. Sarah no longer mentioned the "idol plot" but analyzed her psychology objectively: This is the real reason why I can't get into the show."

"I understand, because my acting skills are too good to put pressure on you, haha!" Leonardo laughed narcissistically, and then returned seriously under Sarah's eyes, "Maybe it's because the early publicity was too good. , the talent show has attracted the attention of almost the whole country, everyone is looking forward to our movie, many of them are waiting for us to fail with a sneer, to tell you the truth, I also feel very big under this situation I even dreamed that the movie was screwed up for two days in a row, and I stood in an empty set facing the world's ridicule."

"It's terrible..." Sarah shrank her neck in empathy, and the next moment she took the initiative to reach out her hand to cover the back of Leonardo's hand, and said softly, "It was just a dream, believe me, it will never come true Really, our movie will never fail."

"That's right, absolutely not." Leonardo held Sarah back, tilted his head and gave Sarah an encouraging smile, "Since you are so confident, why are you still nervous? If you are worried that your acting skills are not enough, I I can accompany you to figure it out slowly, go through all the scenes that you think are difficult before the official shooting, until you can handle them easily."

"Leon..." Sarah opened her mouth, feeling that a simple "thank you" couldn't convey how touched she was at the moment. How could Leonardo be so considerate?This completely exceeded her previous perception of this man in her mind. Is this the real Leonardo DiCaprio?

Discussing with Leonardo which plots need to be practiced along the way, time seemed to fly by, and the car stopped in front of Sarah's house in a blink of an eye.Although there is still a lot to say, but looking at Arthur who heard the movement open and the door looked over, the two still said good night to each other.

Sarah walked into the house under Leonardo's watch, her shoulders collapsed after closing the door, she leaned against the door panel and let out a long breath—why was her performance so bad?

In fact, there is another reason for this that cannot be understood by outsiders-"Sarah" is a movie that did not exist in the previous life!Unlike "Prison Storm" and "Age of Love", there are complete works that can be used as a reference. Rather than saying that her previous acting skills are good, it is better to say that she has completed great imitation and re-creation. She has been learning from it. In other words, she She has been cheating, those performances do not belong to her completely, and always carry the shadow of the original actor.

And "Sarah" is a brand new character, and there is no work that she can learn from and imitate from beginning to end. She can refer to a part of "Juno", and then refer to similar characters in other films, and finally create a patchwork The four are not the same.The whole character is like a broken rag doll. Her body is the cotton cloth of "Juno", the left arm is the leather of "Mean Girls", and the right arm is the silk and satin of "High School Musical"... There is no doubt, this interpretation The characters that came out were an absolute disaster.

And to prevent this disaster from ruining the movie, Sarah knew she had to put aside her reliance on imitation and build the character entirely on her own performance.

"No problem! I can do it!" Sarah stood in front of the changing mirror, clenched her hand hanging by her side into a fist, and waved vigorously at herself in the mirror.Then, her fist stopped in the air, her eyes narrowed slightly, as if she was thinking about something seriously.

Half an hour later, an excited low cry sounded in Sarah's bedroom: "Yes, that's the effect. Performing in front of the mirror can realize the playback of images in my brain, and my image memory ability can still be used like this! "

Sarah closed her eyes and recalled the five performances she performed alone in front of the mirror. Every detail was mirrored, even better than the quality of Jason's DV video, and combined with Leonardo's previous performances Sarah was able to see the effect of the two people's performance in her mind, as if Leonardo accompanied her to act five times.

This is a commonly used method in the production of special effects in movies. Two video clips are superimposed and synthesized to achieve the effect of one person playing two roles in the same scene. is fixed, but she can still judge where her performance is lacking through comparison.

She couldn't play the scene where the protagonist and heroine wake up in the classroom after a crazy night, and now she is trying to find the best performance form.

Sarah faced the mirror and started her first performance. She rubbed her temples to try to relieve the headache caused by the hangover, and soon felt something strange in her body. Cursing rudely, he flipped the boy lying beside him over with his feet.

The second time, she was still rubbing her temples, and opened her eyes with difficulty, revealing the numb, slightly irritable, unfocused eyes that she would have every morning when she lay in bed, but soon her squinted eyes suddenly widened, even The pupils shrank suddenly, as if seeing a UFO appearing in front of him.

For the third time, she twisted her neck while rubbing her temples, because she didn't sleep well last night, so she had a stiff neck, and then she looked to the side immediately after realizing the abnormality in her body, and then looked around vigilantly and surprised , let out a bad and headache moan.

For the fourth time, she rolled her eyes very rudely after realizing what happened, and frowned in surprise and confusion when she finally saw who the boy next to her was.

For the fifth time, she paid more attention to the small details of her movements. When she got up, she rubbed her waist with the other hand. The night before was so crazy. The desks and chairs in the classroom are not Simmons mattresses. No wonder she can feel comfortable. !When she felt something strange in her lower body, she was stiff for a moment. When she saw a boy lying on her stomach beside her, she turned her head slightly in disgust, twisted her face and let out a "hiss", and stretched out her foot to the boy. When turning over, she broke down the movements, first raised her leg tentatively, and then kicked it out forcefully, even with a sense of venting her anger.As for the last, when she poked her head to see the boy's face clearly, she covered her mouth in surprise, then bit her lower lip with a frown.

"The eyes of the second performance are the best, but the body language of the fifth performance is more desirable." Sarah closed her eyes and said to herself. Each of the five performances has its merits, and she quickly completed the permutation and combination of the optimal plan through comparison.

"Hoo... do it again! Get them done tonight!" Sarah took a deep breath in the mirror, ready to perform for the sixth time, and even slapped herself like a board beater!

The author has something to say: For readers who are familiar with Meiyu, CAA can be described as thunderous, but in order to popularize science for those who don’t know Meiyu, today Dailin compiled a short introduction about CAA.

CAA is recognized as the most powerful and intimidating brokerage company in the world. It has gathered a large number of superstars in film, television, music, and sports. In terms of film, Tom Cruise, Tom Hanks, Will Smith also has outstanding actors such as Leonardo, famous directors such as Spielberg and Cameron, as well as excellent producers, screenwriters, and novelists.If any film company or TV group wants to invest in a film or TV project, from script to post-production, CAA can provide a full set of front-line candidates.

One media commented on CAA: There are two types of people in Hollywood, CAA people and others. This shows that CAA's unshakable position in Hollywood is not just half the sky.It has more than 70% of Hollywood first-line stars, and 20 of the top 14 film and television screenwriters in the United States are signed by CAA packaging; nearly half of the global movie box office comes from films directed by CAA directors.

If you watch the Oscars, you will often hear the words "Thank you CAA" repeated by different award recipients on stage.In the 87th Oscars, the work "Birdman" integrated by CAA won four awards as a big winner: Best Picture, Best Director, Best Original Screenplay, and Best Cinematography; the most important performance category was four Among the 4 nominations for the big awards, CAA contracted actors accounted for half, and among the 20 nominees for the Best Actress Award, 5 of them belonged to CAA's clients, creating a situation of rivalry!Among the 4 nominations except for technical awards, CAA customers accounted for 63, the percentage of CAA customers and nominations reached 30%, and the proportion of CAA customers winning is as high as 50%!

Then there is a small supplement about the Chinese market: CAA can provide unparalleled international resources in China. In recent years, most of the films involving Sino-US cooperation are led by CAA.

(The above content is all from the Internet, compiled and summarized by Dailin)

And who established such an awesome company?This man is Michael Ovitz! (Although there were more than one original founder of CAA, Michael is recognized as the biggest contributor. Without Michael, there would be no CAA today)

Ovitz is a superstar agent that no one can surpass so far, and has been elected as "The Most Influential Person in Hollywood" for three consecutive years.

Before CAA, if a TV station wanted to produce a program, it had to find hosts, actors, producers, playwrights, etc., and had to deal with a large number of different agents. However, Ovitz launched the "one-stop" service, which made CAA Brokers have extended their hands to various fields.

In order to ensure the stability of CAA itself and the agents will not collectively betray, Ovitz carefully set up "betrayal costs": Superstars are not solely responsible for a single agent; CAA monopolizes the entire industry chain, making it impossible for those who betray CAA to gather top resources.So in CAA, a star has multiple agents serving him, just like Cesare in "Hollywood Dominance" is a movie agent. It stands to reason that he is only responsible for customers to contact movie appointments, not the reverse like in China, one agent Master multiple stars and be responsible for all of the stars, and then the agent will take away a large number of stars by quitting.Therefore, the success of CAA is inseparable from Ovitz's management ideas.

Then it is worth mentioning that when Ovitz returned home after being the president of Disney for two years, he originally wanted to re-establish the second CAA, but found that this was impossible because of the almost perfect operation model he had established. Well, Hollywood has already been controlled by CAA half of the sky, and under the interlocking circumstances, he has no way to make the new company grow.This is also quite helpless, and he can only blame himself for being too good.

The timing of this article happened to be at a low point in Ovitz's career when he stepped down from the Disney president.

So much nonsense, I hope that interested friends can understand what level CAA and Ovitz exist.Imagine being able to sit on the throne of Disney's president, one of the top six in Hollywood, and get Ovitz's status and ability from the side, right?His contacts and skills are the big gift package that Dailin gave to the heroine la la la la!

At last……

Give Leonardo in this chapter a score, I think it should be above 95! o(￣▽￣)ゞ

In the end, Dailin worked so hard, why didn't the guest officer give a tip after the prostitution?Hey~~ Please leave a message, please collect, please sprinkle flowers!
