atypical hollywood life

"No, I just finished chatting with Arthur. I thought he still had something to say. Aren't you running a publicity campaign? Why do you suddenly have time to call me?" Tom should be in New York at this time. Sweetheart's publicity, right?Why did you suddenly remember to call her? "

"I found time to see your movie, Meg, are you all right with Leonardo DiCaprio?"

He said with some concern.As an old fritter who has been in Hollywood for 20 years, his sense of touch is quite keen.The movie is very good-looking, the director's rhythm is well grasped, the filming is good, and the actors' performances are better. Let's not talk about the supporting roles, just talk about the protagonist, the beauty of the handsome man and the woman, it is really a sincere work.But the premise is that there is no scandal!

It was okay in the first few days, and everyone was full of praise, but after a few days, something went wrong.Tom Cruise noted this shortly after a flood of voices praising Margaret.Of course he could see who Margaret looked like when she laughed. Although Marilyn Monroe had passed away before he was born, this did not prevent him from paying attention to this American cultural symbol.From a certain point of view, he, Marilyn, and Margaret have some common characteristics, such as drooping eye tails and round noses. When the media makes various rankings, they can't help pulling them out for comparison. one time.

When he first saw those film reviews praising Margaret, he was very happy for her. As we approach the new century, there are very few beautiful girls who are praised for their acting skills, let alone those film critics. The words excellence and mastery are used.To be praised so highly by them means that her acting career has paved the way for a star.With acting skills and good looks, she can win both literary and commercial films, and she has an Oscar next to her. Is there a smoother acting path than this?

But the sudden reports suggesting that Leonardo DiCaprio and Margaret were actually having a romantic relationship made him wary.

Don't take this news seriously, as long as it breaks out on a large scale, both Leonardo DiCaprio and Margaret will be caught in this scandal.Of course, Hollywood stars are not as pure and innocent as the snow lotus on the mountain. There are many corrupt and depraved private lives and even unruly, but the problem is that they have nothing to do with minors.This kind of news is not good for anyone.

He is now not sure who the message is aimed at.After all, Leonardo DiCaprio, as a fast-growing young man of the new generation, has indeed blocked the path of many people, and it is not impossible for someone to get rid of his own position.And he also won the Best Actor in Berlin this year, who knows if he will use this shareholder wind to get an Oscar nomination or even go further?After all, he himself broke Oscar's convention more than two years ago, and it's all uncertain.

As for Margaret, although this is her first heroine movie, she is too brilliant to hold her back.Hollywood is only that big, and there are only so many resources. If you get more, others will get less.In this complicated vortex, every day there are actors fighting openly and secretly with others for roles.You see the conversation and interaction between two celebrities in the news, but in fact, they may wish that the other party will die immediately in private.The water in Hollywood was too deep, and he really couldn't tell who it was aimed at.But what is certain is that the other party must have no good intentions, and this kind of thing will definitely have some impact on the two of them.

Now the first thing to be sure is that the two people really don't mean that, otherwise the result will not be very good.Thinking of this, Mr. Cruise is a bit resentful. Leonardo DiCaprio is really a troublesome person, and he can make a scandal when he makes a movie.Although he is very clear that both of them are excellent in the movie and they are also very involved in the film, but the bear boy is better than his own, and other people's. He knows how to seduce girls at a young age. It's fine if he doesn't beat him up. die.

"Me and Leo? What's wrong with us?" Margaret was a little at a loss, wondering what's wrong with Leo?Whose cherry stem knot is stronger?

"It's okay, listen, Meg, something is wrong, you need to pay attention to the critics, I suspect that someone is behind the scenes to manipulate this, it's very similar to what I was targeted during the Oscar competition in 94 , if you really fall into a scandal, both you and Leonardo will be finished, but the other party's influence should not be great, these gossip newspapers are too marginal."

Tom Cruise told Margaret to make sure she took this matter to heart and hung up the phone. Margaret just wanted to ask how his "Eyes Closed" was going. Before I had time to ask, I only heard a busy signal.

Reluctantly put down the phone and rubbed his ears, today is really busy... "Dinglingling..."

The phone rang again. Margaret covered her head and picked up the receiver again. A familiar voice came from the opposite side.

"Margaret?"

"what?"

Margaret is a little confused, who?The voice is familiar, but I can't remember it at all.

"I'm Simon, are you listening?" the male voice opposite asked.

"Of course, I'm listening, just a little dizzy from the long phone call, go ahead."

Margaret finally realized who the person opposite was.After investing in this company with Tom, she just put away her hands and didn't pay attention to it. Anyway, she is an angel investor, and she is useless except for contacts and money, so she just doesn't care.It wasn't until she re-signed the contract with CAA for the filming of "Romeo and Juliet" this year that she realized that there was such a thing, but she didn't pay much attention to it. She just talked to Brian and outsourced the public relations business.What could Simon House do with her?

"I saw some ambiguous film reviews in the newspapers, and I suppressed them. I think there are some things you need to know. Someone is targeting you or Leonardo DiCaprio, but we have no way to determine who. The other party sent the news and money directly to the newspaper, and the source cannot be found. I will continue to pay attention to this matter, so you don’t have to worry too much. In addition, I have talked to Brian about this matter, and he may have some clues. You You can ask him."

Simon House didn't speak fast, but he explained the matter neatly, explained the situation in a few words, and gave a solution.

After hanging up the phone for the third time, Margaret really had a headache. Arthur was right, the waters in Hollywood are really deep, and she will be plotted against by others anytime and anywhere.She is just getting started now, and someone is already preparing to get rid of her. I don't know if I should feel honored that I can bring so much pressure to others.In other words, she was actually quite curious about who the person who wanted to kick her out of Hollywood and ruin her career belonged to. This method was used well, and she also knew how to pick the bottom line of society to play, master!

Yes, that's right, she was sure that the other party was targeting her, Leo was just incidental, and Baz Luhrmann was also implicated as cannon fodder, and she was the only target of the other party.

Ask her why she is so sure?This is really obvious. If it was really aimed at Leo, the other party would have made a move at the Berlin Film Festival. Think about it, the actor of Xinke is a pedophile. The sales volume of the gossip tabloid has directly increased by more than one million, which is much more shocking than the news that Venice actor River Phoenix died of drug addiction.

But looking at the film reviews on the tabloids today, every sentence points out that my acting skills are because of love, and there is a sentence that looks beautiful but is full of malice, "The love of 14-year-old Juliet is so beautiful but sad. ", at first I couldn't see that she didn't think this way.Once she knocked through the joints, she would soon be able to figure out what was going on.Regarding Hollywood, she has never been afraid to speculate on all kinds of things with the greatest malice. Catherine once said that the media are crows, but don't forget that crows eat carrion...

When the phone rang for the fourth time, Margaret was able to calmly listen with another ear.

"Meg?"

Brian's low voice came from the opposite side.

"It's me, what did you find?"

"I can't find anything from the funds. The other party is very cautious, but I found some clues from other places. The person who started it should be from William Morris."

Well done, CAA's old foe!Margaret gave Brian a thumbs-up. The speed of this investigation is really worthy of his title of CAA ace agent. Brian probably started to do it the moment he received the news from Simon House.

"Preliminarily, it can be ruled out that it was Leonardo DiCaprio's opponent. I contacted his agent and eliminated his competitor. Meg, this is a conspiracy against you. You in the way of others."

Brian Lord said a name meaningfully, "The other party is a person whom William Morris strongly advocates. Without you, she will get a lot of resources that belong to you. Her agent is very capable and ambitious. Unfortunately, He underestimated CAA, and also underestimated you. Some things are not as simple as they seem on the surface. They don't understand that some things can't be done, and some people can't be messed with.

Margaret frowned. She didn't care about the person who attacked her. In Hollywood, if you say that everyone is harmonious, it's impossible. If you don't stab someone in the back, you are a good comrade.What troubled her was, where did the news that she accepted the movie leaked out?It's only been two days since she signed the contract for that movie, yet someone has already gotten the news?The actor for this role was completely determined by default, and there was no public casting at all. She can say with certainty that no one in Hollywood has received an audition invitation.Moreover, the film is still in preparation, it will not start until June, and the release time will be longer, even the pre-promotion will not start so early.

Who is so powerful that he can get such secret information?Unless it was an internal leak, Margaret had an idea in an instant.But this matter still needs to be confirmed, she can't let a person who is malicious to her stay by her side.

"You figure it out, Brian, I believe in your means and ability to solve problems, and I don't have much friendship with her, so don't worry about me. I'll treat you to a drink after I'm done. You can choose the wine in my wine cellar at home. If there is no one you like, I can also ask Lex to open the wine cellar of the old house to you."
