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

It was Christmas Eve when Marguerite left Paris and returned to Los Angeles.

She is not a female boss who squeezes the staff around her. When the private plane arrived at Los Angeles International Airport, the staff of her male model group ushered in their own Christmas season vacation.

In Los Angeles during the Christmas season, before the festival comes, Christmas trees have already been erected in the streets of all sizes.

Not only every shop, but also the nearby streets and houses are hung with mistletoe and beautiful Christmas lights.

When Margaret drove into Beverly Hills alone in a bulletproof nanny car, she saw the Beverly Christmas Light Show on the side of the road, playing Christmas live music performances for every visitor.

Everywhere is full of strong Christmas atmosphere. On the street, two young children are pulling Christmas crackers that look like fruit candies. When the paper tube is broken, there is a small explosion sound, which looks warm and happy.

And the scent of mince pie seems to be floating in the whole city, sweet and warm.

When Margot walked into her villa in Beverly Hills, she found that the entire villa had been renovated and had been replaced with beautiful Christmas decorations.

Obviously, it was the generosity of her golden agent.

The newly renovated villa has changed the former American style and has become very old-fashioned French luxury style.

Being in it, it seems to be able to personally experience the traditional French aristocratic life culture. From the chandelier curtain to the bone china tea set, everything is classical and luxurious to the extreme.

Margot raised an eyebrow—Brian was really sweet.

I have to admit that, as an old antique from France in the sixteenth century, she is indeed full of classical feelings.

But this villa is a bit too big, which further accentuates her smallness of being alone.

Fortunately, Margaret had always been good at enjoying solitude.

But she has nothing to do these two days. "The Pianist on the Sea" directed by Giuseppe Tonatore has been released in Italy in late October.

And tomorrow, Christmas Day, is the U.S. release date.

This excellent literary film lasted 3 hours when it was released in Italy.

It is reported that 22 minutes of the overseas release version has been cut by Tonadore, but FineLine, the overseas distributor of the film, still strongly insists that the film should be cut and changed to make it more dramatic.

Even disregarding the provisions of the "Berne Convention" that "the final cut of the film belongs to the director", he threatened Tonadore and said-"If there is no cut, this film will not be released."

The major European film festivals also require Tornadore to cut at least another 10 minutes before he can participate in the screening.

All parties are arguing endlessly, but the final ending is not good. Director Tornadore insists on his own opinion and will not cut the scenes. For this reason, he may miss this Berlin Film Festival.

The studio had hoped that "The Pianist on the Sea" would be included in the Cannes Film Festival next May.

Cannes Film Festival Chairman Jill Jacobs is very interested in this film. With the Cannes Film Festival almost agreeing, "The Pianist on the Sea" is undoubtedly very likely to win the award.

However, due to the dispute between FineLine and Tonadore, FineLine has informed Cannes Film Festival chairman Jill Jacobs that Tonadore may not be able to prepare the final version of the film for screening.

From the current point of view, the crew may miss the invitation to Cannes because of this.

And tomorrow, there will be only five theaters in the United States showing "The Pianist on the Sea" at the same time.

This is obviously unreasonable, not to mention the influence of Giuseppe Tornatore in the literary and artistic film industry, even if Marguerite Adjani's first film was used as a gimmick, overseas distribution should not be the case Pitiful.

In this battle between the overseas distributor and the director, it is obviously a result of mutual losses——

"The Pianist on the Sea" is expected to win relevant awards only in Italy, and the production cost of 2000 million US dollars may only be recovered by one-third.

But in any case, "The Pianist on the Sea" is an excellent European literary film. Even if it is temporarily silent, this film will not disappear silently into the history of international film.

But Margaret was a little reconciled——

This is the first film she has participated in shooting. Is she going to encounter Waterloo because she has nothing to do with the fight?

Maybe it's a bit self-important, but before the European film festival delivery dates start, maybe she should go to Italy in person, meet Tonatore, and try to persuade him to put aside the dispute with the distribution company and let "The Pianist on the Sea" get it Well deserved praise.

Or she can recruit director Truffaut as a lobbyist, after all, Tonatore has always admired this film predecessor.

Just as Margot finished talking with Director Truffaut, a large golden-red tin can flew in from the window in an instant, and landed on the sofa beside her with a bang.

Margaret: Is this crayfish a superhero or a thief?Addicted to trespassing?

Tony Stark looked at her sullenly, "Aren't you surprised to see me?"

Then he stretched out his palm to her, "Where's the Christmas present you prepared for me? Take it out quickly, I'm willing to take it with my own hands without any trouble, God, I hate taking things from other people's hands the most."

Margaret looked calm, "Gift? I'm actually going to call the police to arrest you."

The eyelash spirit stared at her angrily, "You heartless woman!"

Margot didn't bother to talk to this showman, and was about to leave the living room when the doorbell suddenly rang.

When she opened the door, she looked at the big-chested sweetheart and innocent-eyed baby face outside, and then thought of the playwright dwarf lying dead on the sofa, and suddenly felt physically and mentally exhausted.

——The residence she just renovated will not be demolished today, will it?

Iron Man, Captain America, Winter Soldier, the destructive power of these guys is simply terrifying.

Big-breasted sweetheart Steven Hungry Rogers looked sincere and innocent, "Merry Christmas, Margo, maybe Bucky and I can spend Christmas Eve with you?"

Before Margot could answer, Bucky, who looked innocent and wanted to forgive no matter what he did, directly stuffed the beautifully packaged gift box into her arms, "Do you like chocolate candies?"

Margaret blinked, her voice was soft, with a smile, "The return gift from the plum?"

In the past few months, Bucky has gradually returned to his former handsome and sweet youthful appearance, but at this moment he is inexplicably shy, "Do you like it?"

His beautiful innocent blue eyes were watching her, and no one could bear to argue.

But before Margaret could answer, a cold and dissatisfied voice suddenly came from behind, "Stay away from her, murderer, who knows if you will suddenly be brainwashed and controlled by Hydra again, and then crush Margo's neck. "

Rationally, after a few months, Tony gradually accepted that Bucky Barnes was brainwashed and controlled by Hydra, so that he killed the Starks without personal consciousness.

But emotionally, it is obviously not so easy to reach an understanding.

Even though he knew that the former World War II hero in front of him was at the mercy of a tragic fate, so he bore a blood debt.

"Sorry, Stark," Bucky said in a sincere and serious voice, "Even if I was brainwashed and controlled at the time, I couldn't use this as an excuse to clear up the mistakes I made."

Tony still looked bad, but he didn't continue to speak ill.

Steven tried to ease the tension, "The instigator is obviously Hydra, and Bucky will join the Avengers and return to the ranks of justice."

Tony rolled his eyes, "None of my business."

Margaret raised her eyebrows—the mascara, who seemed to be willful, was very rational and objective at critical moments.

He did not attack Bucky Barnes the moment he saw it, which was beyond Margot's expectations.

In the living room, the four of them looked at each other, and Margaret spoke first, "So you three, are you here to spend Christmas Eve with me?"

Tony Stark folded his arms and looked a little arrogant, "I spent nearly 20 years of Christmas Eve alone, do you want to kick me out?"

The big-breasted sweetheart even thoughtfully bought a roasted turkey, "Bucky and I have been missing for more than half a century, and we have no relatives we can find."

Margaret raised her eyebrows, "So today is a poor gathering of four orphans?"

In a way, she got the truth

Just then, the doorbell rang again.

Margo: Surely there won't be another orphan?

——Looking at Grant Ward and Stephen Strange outside the door, she fell silent.

Mr. Margaret's nanny assistant, before joining Hydra, was an orphan, and her adoptive father, John Garrett, had passed away a few months ago.

As for the well-known medical elite in the United States, Mr. Stephen Strange, his sister and parents passed away due to illness and accidents many years ago.

Back in the living room, Margo looked at the presents on the table and said honestly, "Sorry, I didn't prepare gifts for you in advance."

The gentlemen looked at her disapprovingly--this woman is really heartless, it's a good thing they have taken so long to choose presents.

Margo's eyes swept over these men with bad complexions one by one, "You seem to be the daredevils who came here uninvited."

Orphan Men's Fivesome: "..."

——Can she speak human language?

Margot took a sip of black tea indifferently, "I'm already sitting here anyway, of course I can't drive a few of you out. If that's the case, why don't you invite a few gentlemen into the kitchen to prepare Christmas Eve dinner."

The Orphan Men's Five was a little confused, "What about you?"

Margaret raised her eyebrows, "Oh, I will monitor a few of you remotely. If the dinner tastes bad, you will most likely be kicked out."

Five gentlemen: "..."

The black-haired and blue-eyed classic beauty smiled charmingly and softly, and said in a soft and pleasant voice, "Merry Christmas, gentlemen."

Five gentlemen: She looks really good-looking, of course I have to forgive her.
