atypical hollywood life

Pat Kingsley opened the box, and although it was completely cold, there was still a strong aroma coming out of the box.The box is a very ordinary cardboard box, and there is no logo, and the shape of the biscuit is not very fancy, only round and rectangular.Pick up a piece and bite down gently.

"Um..., this tastes so good."

Pat Kingsley's eyes lit up, and she exclaimed in admiration, the taste of the seemingly ordinary biscuits is amazing, the taste is so good.

"Meg's personal order. You deserve it."

Rebecca answered her with a smile, and handed her another box, "It's for Mr. Cruise, you can give it to him later."

"OK. I really didn't expect Meg to have such a unique skill. The taste is so good, it's not inferior to the best pastry shop in Los Angeles."

Ordinary little girls at this age love to play, and cooking is something they will only consider after high school, but obviously our Miss Hughes is different. She is not as naive as children of this age group, and today gave her a surprise. She is like a traditional girl respected by the American middle class. She is dignified, sensible, and has good cooking skills.

Uh, except for the fact that she will be too beautiful in the future, she conforms to all mainstream aesthetics, and maybe she can make some publicity attempts in this regard in the future.

Pat Kingsley thought to himself.

"Meg's personal hobby, listen to me, Pat, you really have to take the time to taste Meg's craft, her talent in desserts far surpasses Chris Linton, you know, since I ate Meg I haven't been to Linton's Bakery since my little cake."

Rebecca strongly recommended Margarita's dessert to Pat Kingsley.

"There will be time."

This sentence Pat Kingsley said is not perfunctory at all, it is completely sincere. 'Linton Dessert House' is the most famous dessert shop in New York. Of course she has eaten the desserts there. The owner Chris Linton is known as a genius pastry chef. There are countless people queuing in front of his shop every day. Margery Special craftsmanship is indeed worthy of praise.

Margaret smiled. She has been roasting for almost 30 years, and if she can’t roast it to a certain level, she might as well go to the Pacific Ocean.He handed Anna a box of biscuits, "Try my craft, it's good to pass the time as a snack."

This kind of biscuit is the one she usually makes the most. Even people like Lex and Steve who don’t like sweets like it very much, not to mention Howard, who is a little bit addicted to sugar, can consume a lot every day. Time to call her and ask her to send cookies.

Well, speaking of Howard, he's still nesting in Africa, and when Lillian came back from the funeral, he was dry, thin and dark, and he was a different person from before.

After the funeral, I hurried back to sit in town. I don’t know what’s going on now. Maybe I should send some cookies to Africa tomorrow, probably because I’m afraid that she will be too sad. Howard hasn’t asked her to send him cookies for a long time. up...

Margaret's thoughts gradually drifted to unknown directions.

"The little girl from the Miller family gave it to me?"

Tom Cruise looked suspiciously at the box of biscuits in his hand. The relationship between them is not good enough to send food, right?

"Courtesy, everyone in the crew has it. Tom, you really should try this flavor, it's amazing."

Pat Kingsley strongly recommended to him the small biscuits with poor packaging. Sweets can make people feel calm, and it is good for Tom to eat more.

Tom Cruise sneered, "You can tell a joke." He's not yet in need of sweets to calm his grumpiness.

"Okay, okay, whatever you want. How's the latest shoot going? Is it going well?"

"Fortunately."

After saying this, Tom Cruise fell silent again.

Sighing, Pat Kingsley had no choice but to comfort him: "Don't worry, the fans are only furious for a while, and this emotion will dissipate after a while."

Tom Cruise has been very irritable recently, and his mood is terrible, otherwise he wouldn't be able to do something against a little girl.Even for the sake of being a fellow New Yorker, he wouldn't do it.

The cause of the incident was that many of his fans were against him taking on the role of a villain, and they couldn't accept it, and even set off massive opposition actions.

Here I have to mention that this sad baby actually has more male fans than females, thanks to the fact that he has acted in many masculine films since his filming, and there are fans of every kind of idol, he Fans of the movie still care about it.There is simply no way to accept him playing the role of a cruel vampire who is psychotic and has a dark sexuality.

Not only that, even fans of the original "Interview with the Vampire" Lester are protesting his appearance.

The reason is the same as that of Lilian Miller. How can Tom Cruise, such a sunny, healthy and tall actor, perform the essence of the domineering and cool Leicester?Thousands of people were even united to protest.

He really didn't expect that taking on the filming of a villain would cause such strong protests. He was too eager for Oscar, and was driven by this desire to move forward. He finally got the challenging role of Lester and devoted himself to it without hesitation.

He dieted a lot for this film, lost 12 pounds before the filming started, went to learn to play the piano, dyed his hair and eyebrows yellow, and flew to Paris to feel the glitz and depravity of the film. The floating museum and the Palace of Versailles, wandering aimlessly on the streets of Paris in the middle of the night, visiting many museums and galleries, imitating the life of a vampire.The effort put in is not insignificant.

But now fans are opposed to him playing the villain, which may even lead to a boycott of the movie, which means a failure at the box office!

Regardless of how eager he is for awards, he understands in his heart that the biggest guarantee of Hollywood's foothold is the box office, and a star without box office appeal is worthless.His Oscar opponents back then were all praised for their acting skills, but so what?

Even Daniel Day-Lewis, who is an Oscar winner, earns less than half of his salary, not to mention his popularity.Losing box office appeal would be devastating to his career.

"I'm thinking about whether to make a statement and stop playing villains in the future."

Tom Cruise hesitated, which can appease fans very well, but at the same time blocked his own way.

"Actually, it's okay to make a statement."

Pat Kingsley thought for a while and said.

"Unless it's a B-level cult film, there are very few movies with villains as the protagonists, and with your current status, it is impossible to play a supporting role. The chance of playing a villain is very small. This can indeed save fans and avoid them. Boycott "Interview with the Vampire", and as for the awards, unless you aim for Best Supporting Actor, the villain is useless, and now it's up to you to choose."

What Pat Kingsley said was very pertinent. With his current status, B-level movies and supporting roles are impossible, so it doesn't make much sense to insist on playing the villain.

Moreover, the definition of the villain is quite vague. The fans’ emotions cannot be so strong all the time. Many of the fans who oppose it now are not very old. When they grow older, they will become rational and then play some controversial roles. , the opposition will not be so loud. Generally speaking, the advantages of issuing such a statement outweigh the disadvantages.

"However, if you want to make a statement, it is best to hold a press conference before the release of 'Night Interview', and operate this film as your last villain movie. help."

Pat Kingsley is also working hard, and the stars in his hands are not worry-free.

Needless to say, those young stars who are not in their prime, they can only slowly find opportunities to make their mark. Although some big names are also her clients, due to CAA's cross-management rules, she is only one of the few co-management agents. one.

Just like human relations, unless the agent who started to bring them is really incompetent or has an unpleasant relationship with the star or some special reasons, the top star will generally become the main manager of that star. The reason for the shared hardships at the beginning was more because the agent had been in contact with the stars from the very beginning and understood everything about managing them. There were many things that could not be understood by later generations.

The star that Pat Kingsley himself brought out from the beginning is Tom Cruise. Although most of the films he acted in are actually literary films, but I don’t know why he can often beat those who show off. The commercial film is also quite strange.

It's a pity that although he is a top box office star, but the awards are almost a dead end, and he has a low EQ, so straightforward that people can't wait to beat him to death.

The newly signed clients have Oscar images, and their own resources and connections are also remarkable, but there are also many problems.

Not to mention that she is too young, it will take at least five or six years for her to kill the Quartet, and this lady has too many backers, and she has her own opinions, it is simply impossible to operate like an ordinary starlet. Impossible, thinking of Pat, he couldn't help but shed tears of sympathy for himself.

With a sneer, Tom Cruise sarcastically said, "Comeon, Pat, stop thinking about those damn Hollywood business operations when you are resting, I feel bored now, after firing Lillian Miller Her daughter, after firing her daughter, then fire me, Hollywood is really a place full of greed."
