atypical hollywood life

Alexander sat in the living room for a while, answered a phone call, and quickly left by car. Catherine couldn't bear the shock and fainted after receiving the news of the deaths of William and Lilian.

Catherine had been divorced from him for a long time when his grandfather passed away. Both of them lived a good life and could be friends with peace of mind. However, the death of her father was a heavy blow to her, but her character was far stronger than that of her father. Annie was tenacious, and her heart was extremely strong, so she survived.Now the little grandson is gone, she is very old, Alexander didn't want to tell her about it, but Catherine is not Anne, she is not far away from the crowd and this social circle, and Margaret lives with her, the news It was absolutely impossible to hide it from her, and now Catherine is also in the hospital, which is simply worse.

Sitting in the car, he couldn't help but wonder if this family was cursed?The grandfather died unexpectedly, the father died unexpectedly, and even the younger brother died unexpectedly. Will it be his turn next?Then Howard, then Steve, maybe the name itself is a cursed name...

Margaret returned to her room and threw herself on the bed, feeling powerless all over her body.She didn't know what to say about the current situation. The men in the whole family were dying one after another, and they were almost dead. If you change the background of the time, you can tell about the generals of the Yang family.She herself wondered if there was something evil in the family.At this time, the thoughts of Margaret and Alexander resonated.

She doesn't really have much relationship with her current parents.Not to mention William, when he was ten years old, he probably didn’t spend as many days with Catherine as she did with Catherine. Lilian was about the same. She had no milk/water when she was born, plus postpartum depression. Anne was taking care of her, not as long as William.After Annie left the United States, she was directly given to Catherine. The last time she met the two couples was at Christmas a year ago. It is hard to say that they have a deep relationship. The relationship between them is more like equal friends.

However, not having much affection does not mean that she is indifferent to their deaths. Although the couple did not spend much time with her, they loved her.Maybe they are not responsible enough, but they do love her, it's just that they love freedom and adventure by nature, and the family can't tie them down.Another child might resent them, but Margaret was never an ordinary child. She couldn't imagine that such a lively and laughing couple would disappear like this. A cold?This is simply ridiculous!He actually died like that.

Thinking of Lilian’s mysterious phone call telling her that she recently got a sum of money and customized a gift for her. Today, she finally found out what the gift was, but she would rather wait for Lilian to tell her herself than to get a letter from the lawyer now. I learned from my mouth...

Margaret suddenly felt her eyes watering, really, why did she run to such a dangerous place?Stupid Lillian and William...

But where she couldn't see, many things were changing. Some people were sad, some were angry, and some were anxious. Too many uncontrollable factors began to spread.

Rebecca put down her umbrella and put the flowers in her bosom into a vase. There were still drops of water on the flowers. The crystal clear drops of water made the red tulips more beautiful, but no one knew that it was the morning dew Still rain.

"Duk-duk--" came the sound of the cane hitting the stairs, and Rebecca knew that it was Arthur who had come down.He has always been like this these days, staying in Lilian's house before she got married, as if this way he can forget the fact that she has left her family.

Rebecca walked quickly to the stairs and reached out to help him. Arthur was 78 years old, he was no longer young, and his body was a little bent. It might not be so serious in normal times, but Lilian's death gave him a big blow. , Now I need crutches to climb to the second floor.

Arthur waved his hand, refused Rebecca's support, walked to the table and sat down.

"I bought new flowers." Arthur said flatly, gently stroking the petals of the tulips.

"Yes, I thought maybe fresh flowers would put you in a better mood." Every woman in the Miller family, from Jane onwards, loved tulips, living and dead, without exception.There is always a bouquet of tulips in the living room at home.

After a moment of silence, Arthur said, "Is your work going well recently?"

"Fortunately, it's business as usual, most of the time I'm still thinking about my own script."

Rebecca is a little strange. Arthur doesn't usually care about her work. When they chat, they focus more on creation. As for work, Arthur never cares. Whether those things are in Arthur or Libe In Ka's eyes, it doesn't matter.

"Quit it." Arthur ordered Rebecca directly.

"why?"

Rebecca wasn't outraged by her father's meddling in her work, only mildly surprised.After all, Arthur never interfered with her work, and even encouraged her in a certain way. It was the first time that he asked him to quit his job so directly.Rebecca, however, had no intention of rebelling against her father's orders.It is true that she has grown up for a long time, but she has always known how controlling a man her father is.

She is different from Lilian. Lilian is full of rebellious spirit and talent. She dared to attack Arthur and win the war.As for Rebecca, she is more used to being controlled by Arthur.And it turned out to be better for her.

Although they are twins, Rebecca looks more like her father, while Lilian looks more like her mother.Like their appearance, the career paths chosen by the two are also very different.

Lillian became a writer, and a very famous one at that.Maybe it won't be comparable to Arthur at the beginning, but it's just a matter of time.

And Rebecca, like most American girls, has such a star dream in her heart, and her family has created the conditions for his dream, but unfortunately she does not have this talent, both Arthur and Lilian have this It took a lot, but the result told them that it was a disaster for her to be an actress, and the best way was to stop this disaster and take the right route.

Yes, the right route, her father and sister have cleared the obstacles ahead for her, as long as she goes down this road, success is only a matter of time.

But today, Arthur suddenly asked her to quit a job that she didn't usually care about, so something must have happened.

"David spoke to me on the phone this morning."

Arthur didn't say much, but Rebecca had figured out, yes, which David would it be?There are so many Davids in Hollywood, Finch is not tall enough and he is not qualified to talk directly with Arthur, and Lynch does not have the capital to play games with Arthur. Only Geffen, David Geffen was the one in their circle, and he was the only one who could handle Arthur with a single phone call.

"You mean that David prefers Margaret?" Rebecca instantly understood the meaning behind Arthur's words.Frowning, Lilian had just passed away, the funeral was not even held, even the news was blocked, Geffen's sense of smell was too sensitive.

"It should be said that both David and Warner are interested in Margaret."

Arthur glanced at Rebecca appreciatively, smart people communicate better.

"Why? Haven't they already decided on Dunst for the role?"

Rebecca was very puzzled. The news she got was that Geffen's company was in a tug-of-war with Kirsten Dunst's agent and was about to sign a contract.

"Her agent's appetite was too big, and her parents also had doubts about the script. The kiss scene between Claudia and Louie made them hesitate. They asked to delete this scene. Now, Lilian is gone, there are What could be better than having the original author's daughter in her work?"

Arthur sneered, this is too easy to settle, Lilian Miller's daughter starred in Lilian Miller's posthumous work, and it can even be hyped that the role of Claudia was tailor-made by Lilian for her daughter Yes, look, even the hair color is the same, and Lilian's daughter has been honing for this role on Broadway for two years, otherwise, why would she not be afraid to shoot it later, but wait until her daughter is ten years old to start filming? ?

Rebecca quickly figured out the key, old fox!Rebecca cursed secretly.Geffen's calculations are too precise, not only can he use Lilian's death to make hype, but he can also use Lilian's daughter as a banner. Even if Margaret is a vase, she can handle it after a period of training. After all, it's just a supporting actress, and the role of the two male protagonists is more. As long as Margaret is not ugly, there is no problem.What's more, Margaret is not a vase. During her two years on Broadway, she has never received only praise and envy but no attack on her acting skills.

Of course, this has something to do with her background, but if she doesn't have the ability, she won't get such high praise. This is not Off-Broadway, nor off-Broadway, but the center of Broadway, even if there are only a few roles that can be played , but her talent is still amazing.

"But will Meg agree?"

Rebecca still had doubts. She had never heard Margaret say that she wanted to be a star. Broadway plays and Hollywood movies were never the same thing.

"She'll agree." Arthur said meaningfully.

Rebecca didn't speak. Lilian's death had dealt a great blow to Arthur. She was the greatest rebellion in Arthur's life, but also the greatest pride in his life.She refused Arthur to follow the path that Arthur arranged for her, and even sneered at orthodox literature. Seemingly an inexplicable vampire shell, she gradually upgraded her works, and in the end, she created a new genre.
