Saving the world is not as good as chasing stars [US Entertainment]

Daniel Day Lewis, who was hung up on the phone, was speechless. He always knew that his ex-girlfriend had a hot temper and a strong personality.

She is young and has amazing acting talent, and she has gained a lot of attention just by participating in stage plays. In the famous French Theater, there are always groups of enthusiastic audiences, scrambling to see her moving splendor.

Many people predicted that as long as she got a suitable opportunity, she would be able to stand out as a blockbuster and be included in the ranks of famous French actresses in one fell swoop.

But she has never been the type of actress who is good at dancing with long sleeves. Her tough and self-willed personality has troubled many people in the French film industry. rehearse.

But even so, the French Drama Theater still regards her as an acting genius who is born in the world. The most famous national theater troupe in France even offered Adjani a 20-year contract for the first time.

But she politely declined to sign the contract on the grounds that it would limit her social freedom.

How many people thought that the French Drama Theater would give up on her because of her refusal, but in this world, people always seem to have infinite connivance towards geniuses. Not only did the head of the theater not treat her coldly because of this, he even stated in public that——

"There can only be one Ajani in a century."

Recalling all this, the Oscar winner Lewis has dry lips. Although Adjani is not the type of docile and obedient when in love, he has always been unfavorable in the female circle. The cold attitude of the other party makes him very difficult for a while. accept.

And Marguerite, who is far away in Paris, is looking up the details of the Valois dynasty on the Internet with the latest memory of the [-]th century.

In the small and warm bachelor apartment, her expression was vague——

In the second half of the sixteenth century, Princess Margaret, the king's sister, became a victim of a political marriage and married King Henry of Navarre, the Protestant leader.

According to records, during the entire ceremony, the groom and the bride looked straight ahead and never looked at each other.

When the cardinal asked Margaret if she would marry Henry, she did not answer, so Charles IX held her head down and forced her to nod in agreement.

But when everyone was celebrating the wedding, under the planning of Queen Catherine, a massacre against Protestants kicked off. Blood flowed into rivers throughout France, triggering a famous tragedy in history—St. Barthol Romeo night.

After marriage, Margaret and Henry had no relationship, each had an open lover, and Margaret had a bad reputation because of this.

After several years of war, the Queen Mother Catherine lost her power and died in infamy on January [-], [-], and Margaret's brothers were all killed.

After all the men in the Valois family died, Marguerite's husband Henry became the closest male to the Valois royal family because of his marriage with her. He accidentally inherited the French throne and became the founding king of the Bourbon dynasty—— Henry IV.

Margaret changed from a French princess to a French queen, known as Queen Margaret in history.

However, after Henry IV inherited the French throne, she divorced the former princess Margaret because she had no heirs, and she lost her honor as queen of France.

Many historians believe that Margaret had such a mother as the source of her misfortune throughout her life.

Either because Queen Catherine's reputation was too bad, or as early as the beginning of the Bourbon dynasty, the "abandoned woman" Marguerite was destined to bear the title of "the most dissolute woman in France".

As the years passed, her beauty gradually faded and she fell into poverty. After the debtors came to collect, she sold all her jewelry, took a gold sanctuary to practice in Notre Dame, and finally died of illness in Notre Dame.

Marguerite died in Paris on May 27, [-], and was buried in the Valois Church.Thousands of those who loved her mourned her passing, and at the same time, the demise of the Valois dynasty.

Her ex-husband, Henry IV, also did not die well. He was assassinated in 57 at the age of [-].

The 19-year-old brunette looked at the text on the display——

The Valois family and the Medici family, which had been prominent for several centuries, became extinct in the [-]th and [-]th centuries. All the relatives and haters she was familiar with have long since disappeared in the long stream of history, and even most of them did not die well. .

In this world, there is not even a single person connected by her blood.

Margaret had guessed that it was the man in the black cloak who informed her mother of what was about to happen on the eve of the wedding.

And her mother somehow made a deal to send Marguerite, who had not yet been vilified as the most dissolute woman in France, four centuries later.

In other words, this is not even the world she used to live in. Margaret's new memory of the new century told her that maybe this should be called a parallel world——

She came here in [-], but the Marguerite of this world died in [-].

How funny, she and everyone she knows are not only separated by the ocean of time, but even through the texture of space.

She couldn't even choose to end it all. Her mother, the sinister and vicious Queen Catherine, had humbly surrendered to others, just to let her get rid of the notorious sixteenth century.

"Faithful believers turned their backs on God?" Margaret whispered, some kind of guessing in her mind.

The man in the pitch-black cloak was clearly some supernatural being who hated God, and Margaret was determined to find him and learn what the deal was about.

Even his devil, is the root of all evil.

She didn't know what kind of incarnation that fallen supernatural creature was in the human world, and when it would appear.

Before that, she must live in the twentieth century without being slandered and with dignity.

Margaret tried to free herself from those overly heavy thoughts. She was just a 19-year-old rookie actor. Unless that sinister guy appeared in front of her, she would become a dark wizard, and it was impossible to find him. .

She forced herself to think about the things in front of her eyes first, such as improving the economic level, raising the social class, and being able to obtain more information.

At this time, the parents who were born in an orphanage have unknown backgrounds. It is not easy to do this. There is no family property and connections to inherit, and they are not good at financial and economic profit methods in the [-]th century. It is even more impossible to enter politics.

Apart from beauty, the only thing she is good at is acting talent.

This is the only thing she can grasp at present, isn't it?

Marguerite looked at the two letters in her hand, which came from the famous director François Truffaut——

"You are an extraordinary actress, and I have never been more eager to put a face on film."

"Your face alone can tell a moving story, your gaze alone can create drama, you can even do a movie without a storyline, it's a documentary about you, it will Rivals any good, extraordinary feature film."

It is undeniable that these words are very sincere and touching.

Margaret also had a bank card with full salary in her hand, and the corner of her mouth curled up. At least she is now a young girl who can obtain wealth by her own ability.

Compared with the status of women in the [-]th century who could only obtain money and land through gifts from their husbands, this new century that allows women to rely on themselves and earn every brick and tile can make women truly free.

She unfolded the play called "The Story of Adele Hugo"—

In the [-]th century, Adele Hugo, the daughter of the French literary master Victor Hugo, in order to avoid the huge pressure brought by the family name and wholeheartedly pursue romantic and uncompromising love, traveled across the ocean alone from France to In the war-torn American New World, she is looking for Pinsong, a young British officer she is obsessed with.

However, Pinsong is just a penniless swindler with a suspicious family background, a gambling addict, and all his interest in Adele is just a womanizer's desire for a beautiful girl, and she is Miss Hugo—— Daughter of the famous Victor Hugo.

Adele continued to love this man who didn't love her almost "crazily", but the other party despised her infatuation. She was demented under successive heavy blows, and finally ended up spending the rest of her life in an asylum, lonely and old.

Adele's tragedy stems from the fact that she had a great father, and her life was doomed to be hidden under the fame of Victor Hugo.

She even had a famous older sister, Lepoldier, who became known to the world for her heartbreaking love tragedy - drowning at the age of 19 on her wedding tour, followed by her husband.

In that era when women could only exist as daughters of fathers and wives of husbands, and even literary creation could only bear the names of men, Adele had a kind of obsession with tragic fate, so as to make her name known to the world .

She didn't fall in love with Pinzon and ended badly, but she was willing to act in a great, self-sacrificing love, making her as herself, not as Victor Hugo's daughter, not as Lepoldier's sister, but as A Dale Hugo is immortal.

All these tragedies are cruel games she plays with herself, a crazy and absurd drama that belongs only to her.

She confronted her father with writing, and with tragedy of love against Les Poulders. She threw herself into a battle that was doomed to lose. In the end, she crossed a century anonymously as Miss Hugo and was remembered by her father. Shame, died in obscurity.

But perhaps in a way, she accomplished her own immortality, and a hundred years later, the film was titled The Adele Hugo Story.

After Margaret finished reading the audition script, there were only two hours left before the agreed audition time, but fortunately, the audition venue was relatively close to her bachelor apartment, only about 15 minutes’ walk away.

When she went to the Printemps department store in Paris for the audition, she entered and bought a white dress similar to the [-]th century and put it on. The design of this white dress is not obtrusive, but the details highlight the classic aristocratic atmosphere.

Now that she decided to audition, Adele Hugo had to be hers.

————————————————————————————————————————

The audition room was full of big shots. In addition to the director Francois Truffaut and representatives of the French Screen Actors Union, there was also Hollywood gold medal producer Albert Rudy, who won the Oscar for Best Picture with "The Godfather".

And another American who came with Albert Rudy is also a big figure in the Hollywood power list-CAA managing partner and gold broker Brian Lord.

The CAA tyrant, who is not yet in his forties, is shrewd in suits and leather shoes, and looks like he can get the best dressed in fashion magazines at any time.

The Creative Artists Agency (CreativeArtistsAgency), which was once evaluated as "CAA first in Hollywood, and then other companies", was briefly threatened a few years ago, and some partners who founded the company chose to leave the company——

For example, Ron Mayer went to Universal Studios and began to sit on the other side of the negotiating table to discuss the star's salary agreement, while the Creative Artists Agency had to sit opposite him and negotiate for their own interests.

Another founder, Ovitz, left the company to go to Walt Disney, followed CEO Michael Eisner, and became Walt Disney's second in command.

In a pinch, a new team led by Brian Lord, Kevin Howian, Richard Rafter, and David O'Connor took over CAA, despite what many in Hollywood predicted The company was doomed, but Ovitz's successors were thriving.

In just a few years, Brian Lord has grown into a gold agent with many A-list superstars. In Los Angeles, countless young people are looking forward to being the lucky ones and his new clients every day. Hollywood is all the rage.

And his reason for showing up at this audition is simply that some playboy billionaire is starting to find his week-long Paris vacation a bit boring, and Brian Lord, as an escort, finds him some new fun.

For Brian Lord, it is of course a good choice to participate in the audition of director Francois Truffaut. It will be a shock if this great director who has retired for many years comes back to sign with CAA Big news in Hollywood.

Oh, by the way, there was an unexpected surprise today. At this audition, the famous Italian director Giuseppe Tornatore, who is about to start filming "The Pianist on the Sea", was sitting there.

Realism cutting-edge director Tonadore, when facing François Truffaut, one of the most influential directors of the [-]th century, seemed to be highly respected.

Truffaut, who advocates the theory of film authorship and emphasizes that film directors are the main creators and finalists, also appreciates Tornadore, who basically writes all screenplays by himself.

The age difference is 24 years, but the two famous directors who are also deeply influenced by the genre of realism are friends who have a deep friendship.

Unlike the well-known directors, gold-medal producers, and gold-medal agents at the audition meeting, the white man wearing sunglasses sitting on the far right is obviously neither a figure in French theater, nor is he from Hollywood.

But no matter whether it is the golden agent Brian Lord or the golden producer Albert Rudy, they can be regarded as courteous and respectful when facing him. Following Brian Lord's displeasure at an audition.

The reason is simple. This man, who does not look calm, is an arms dealer whose assets are conservatively estimated at hundreds of billions of dollars.

It's not just because he is rich, but mainly because he doesn't look like a serious rich man.

Obviously, no one wants to offend him casually. After all, I heard that this playboy and billionaire is a lunatic who often does not follow the rules.

Director Truffaut began to discuss some crew matters with the producer. Other matters of this film have been fully prepared. As long as a satisfactory female lead is selected, the filming can start next month.

When the audition progressed to the fifth actress, the expression on Truffaut's face already showed a hint of disappointment. It was not because the performance of the audition actors was poor, but that he needed someone who could overcome the storyline with just his face and eyes. actress.

In fact, he met the actress not long ago, but the other party rejected his olive branch, even so, Truffaut even sent a second invitation letter.

When the sixth actress finished the audition, although Truffaut said to go out and wait for a reply, he was obviously not satisfied with the performance of the other party.

Until the assistant sent in the list of the next batch of audition actors——

On the first page is Marguerite Adjani.

Almost instantly, several big names at the audition felt Truffaut's change, and the fatigue of this great director completely disappeared.

Soon, the glass door was pushed open again, and when that girl walked in, you couldn't take your eyes off her at all.

She has pure blue eyes, and long black hair flowing like seaweed hangs down behind her. Classical melancholy is mixed with an indescribable passion and nervousness.

She just stands there, before she starts acting, and you get a sense of excellence and precision.

François Truffaut almost wants to skip her audition stage. There is no better actress to play Adele Hugo than her. It is impossible for a director in the world to find such a "hysterical, Aristocratic neurotic and charmingly deranged" actress.

Truffaut's tone was very friendly, "I'm glad you showed up at this audition, Adjani, otherwise I'm afraid I'm about to send a third invitation letter."

"Your second letter of invitation is enough to impress people." Margaret smiled, with a noble and elegant demeanor, and her faint confusion seemed to be two extremes.

Even though Margaret Adjani is the only actor Truffaut can accept, the audition meeting has already gone on. In order to show respect for the main creator and other auditioners, Marguerite obviously has to use her own Acting convinces the crowd.

Truffaut seems to have confidence in her that is different from ordinary people. In the audition clip, he neither chose Adele to be seduced by Pinsong and fell in love, nor did he bring up the plot of Adele stalking and spying on Pinsong in Canada, but directly said, " The last scene."

All the main creators looked at the director subconsciously, this is the most difficult scene to interpret in the whole movie!

Just a second later, in the audition meeting room, everyone's breathing became lighter, because they saw the frantic gaze that almost shattered people's hearts.

She looked directly at them, with fanatical, obsessive and persistent eyes on her beautiful and sad face, and she even muttered to herself with some complacency, "Thousands of mountains and rivers, thousands of mountains and rivers, going to meet you, this kind of thing , only I can do it!"

Her hasty tone made people breathless, and her crazy beauty made people heartbroken. Almost instantly, everyone couldn't bear such gazes anymore. Her eyes could make people go crazy or go to hell.

It is a tragedy of fate and self-fulfillment that is more terrifying than death.

One look from her takes the movie away from the superficial appearance of love between men and women, and brings crazy absurdity, throat-cutting and fatal immortality.

The conference room fell into a long silence, and everyone was distracted, not knowing what they were thinking.

Truffaut broke the silence, "No man in the world can escape her eyes."

And the others are thinking about——

Brian Lord: I'm going to sign her personally and the whole world will go crazy when she hits Hollywood!

Giuseppe Tornadore: Maybe willing to be 1900's muse in a few days before she enters the Adele Hugo cast next month.

A certain arms dealer worth hundreds of billions: Compared with her, last month's cover girl is a thin bamboo pole with an empty head. I want to get her on my bed, oh no, turn her into my new girlfriend.

Whatever it is, it means the same thing anyway.
