unofficial hollywood life

"You really want to go to Hollywood?" Petunia, who had finally settled a lot of troubles, was astonished holding a bag of ice cream.

She was a little overwhelmed to hear this explosive news just after she came back.

"So you're going to make a movie with Tom Cruise?" Penny exclaimed.

She said that it was strange that the two big Hollywood stars came over that day. It turned out that they were working with Diana!

Thinking of this, Penny couldn't help being a little excited, this is Tom Cruise, the Tom Cruise who can win the box office with his face!Coupled with Diana's good looks, how eye-catching should their movies be?

Well, as a dog with a dead face, Penny is a typical person watching movies.Just like "The Godfather" at the beginning, if Al Pacino hadn't played an important role in it, and Marlon Brando alone, she wouldn't have watched it at all!Another example is Mr. Cruise's "Dark Lord" whose attribute points are all on appearance. She swiped at the actor's face more than a dozen times, completely ignoring the wonderful plot and appearance in front of the actor. Disappointed heroine.

Now that I know that my friend has the opportunity to make a movie with Tom Cruise, I am so excited that the ice cream starts to tremble!

"...Why did you come to such a conclusion?" Diana, who was just talking to Phyllis about her new company, was a little speechless.

Did she say anything that could be misunderstood?It seems not?

"Isn't it? I just heard you say that Tom Cruise is a good guy and helped you a lot in the crew..." Penny asked back.

With Diana's face, isn't she the heroine?

"No. I didn't intend to become an actor. I joined the crew as a production assistant." Diana said helplessly.

As a friend who grew up with her, she really knew Penny very well. However, this guy must have started to dream again, and he didn't know what he had imagined in his head.

"Oh." Penny was a little disappointed.

It seems that there is no possibility of seeing two prosperous beauties appearing in the movie at the same time, so she should continue to ignore the heroine in Mr. Cruise's movie!

As a dog with a dead face, she has had enough of the heroines in Mr. Cruise's movies who have little sense of presence. One by one, the roles are simply not as good as the supporting actors. What do they do in the movie? Are they only responsible As a vase display?But with the peerless big vase of Tom Cruise, who else would pay attention to them?Even the plot can be ignored, okay?

Diana: "..."

Seeing Petunia like that, she knew what the other party was thinking.Chick Morgan really didn't expect that Mr. Cruise's loyal fans have been around her for two lifetimes. How much resentment is this for his face?

Thinking of the American people's desire to monopolize Mr. Cruise, she suddenly had an idea. Is it because everyone always diss his wife because she is not as good-looking as him?When a person's appearance reaches a certain level, it will have a covering effect on the appearance around him. The heroine's face in Mr. Cruise's movie is not as good-looking as his, and the female face in life is still not as good-looking as him. This kind of How does the situation give the audience a sense of substitution?Everyone watching the movie is subconsciously comparing the faces of the male and female protagonists, but the supporting actor escaped because of his positioning. This kind of feeling like being alone and seeking defeat is completely overwhelming!

Maybe the media will let him go if he finds a wife who is more attractive than him, and he will no longer be gay after 30 years.However, considering that Nicole can't crush Mr. Cruise in terms of appearance, and can't even make a tie, and the appearance of the later Ms. Helms is directly beaten by him. So his future path still has to fight wits and courage with the media.Diana thought silently in her heart, and by the way pretended to light a few candles for the big star.

That's right, it's hypocrisy!For chick Morgan, other people's feelings have nothing to do with her?It's not that you are full and have nothing to do, and go to shout for other people's emotional problems.As a CP fan, she only needs to obediently collect the surroundings within the shelf life of the relationship between the two of them, and the rest is not within her jurisdiction.

"You think too much." Diana was speechless for a long time, before holding back a sentence dryly.

Although there may be an opportunity to cooperate with Mr. Cruise in the future, she can't guarantee whether she can find a beauty of the same level as him. Didn't see the year she died, Hollywood actresses are about to end?Let alone this kind of exquisite beauty, even Anne Hathaway has never appeared before. Is it true that the golden age is blown out?

"Hehe." Petunia squinted at Diana.

She didn't even bother to say anything about Morgan's chick, but she aroused her appetite but was irresponsible. Do you know what this kind of behavior is called?Scum!

"Did you know that hehe can easily lead to war?" Diana also squinted back.

What kind of scum?She didn't lie to her feelings, what a scumbag!

"I don't know." Penny rolled her eyes.

Since there is no hope, no one is even allowed to haha?This guy, Diana, really has been a little irritable recently because of relationship issues!But at any rate, they were also childhood sweethearts who grew up together, so Penny forgave her generously.

"Since you are not an actor but a producer, do you have any projects?" She changed the subject.

"She has just entered this industry. Even the company is an empty shell, and it is still established in a tax-free paradise like Delaware. What kind of projects can there be?" Phyllis, who had already taken the ice cream from Penny, lazily said.

The four girls in the dormitory have their own majors. She majors in finance, Penny majors in literature, Sophia majors in art, and Diana majors in physics.

Logically speaking, among the four people, whether it is Penny or Sophia, the possibility of going to Hollywood is higher than that of Diana, but who knows that Diana, who is completely out of touch with art and entertainment, will go to Hollywood to fight What?

Phyllis doubts that her enthusiasm will end in failure in the end. After all, it is too impulsive to start a production company without any projects, and it is not wise from a commercial point of view.

"Besides, she has no money now. If she wants to make a movie, she needs to get investment or a loan. Which do you think is more likely?" Phyllis stabbed Diana again.

Don't think that it is so easy to use various stocks in your hand to mortgage a loan to the bank. There are also some steps to go in the middle.In the case that she has already borrowed a large amount of money from the bank, it is not a small difficulty for the Morgan chick to loan out a larger amount.

Especially since her company has just been established, it is just an empty shell with no works and no Hollywood foundation. Under such circumstances, it is really not easy to get a loan from the bank.

"Want to invest? I think as long as she is willing to speak, there are still many people who are willing to invest." Penny took out an ice cream from the bag, and stuffed the rest into the refrigerator and said.

From the perspective of connections, Diana still has an advantage, and she has a good reputation, so it shouldn't be a problem to attract investment.Even if the amount is not as expected, isn't there still dad Morgan behind it?My daughter wants to enter Hollywood, but as a producer, he will help in any way.

"The problem is that I'm not sure that I will make money. Who will invest in me?" Diana also rolled her eyes.

This is not financial investment!She made a fortune in the stock market crash in [-], and also bought a bunch of stocks that appreciated later in Coca-Cola's formula change incident.If she shouted that she would lead her brothers and sisters to make a fortune in the stock market, maybe someone would listen to her and invest some money, but Hollywood, which no one knows?Diana shook her head. This is a cross-industry activity. I am afraid that few people would be willing to take risks with her.

Besides, although all of her little friends are rich in their families, the problem is that the money is not theirs. In the age of the previous generation when they were young and middle-aged, it would take a while to get to the top. , so most people are in a state of leading a family fund to live and start a business.A few of the more courageous companions have made a career, but their small league has already planned to go to the Soviet Union to win votes. Where can they get idle funds to invest in movies?

"So your shell company will probably last for a long time." Phyllis shrugged and said.

This group of people used all their spare money to follow Diana to sweep it away, and the rest was just enough to live on, so they couldn't spare any money to support her.This guy's loan is another problem, so her company will probably have no business for a long time.

"Not necessarily. I learned something during my internship in the crew recently. The most important thing at present is not to blindly solicit investment, but to get a script first." Looking at the two roommates who were eating happily, Diana I also took an ice cream and scooped it up with a spoon.

She is not a senior producer, as long as she has a concept and idea, someone will invest in her.Besides, even a senior producer must have a proposal to impress investors?You have nothing, so why should someone invest in you?

I'm sorry, but she is not a big star like Mr. Cruise who relies on her face to win the box office. Without past achievements, this is still impossible.

Therefore, it is more reliable to honestly come up with a script first, and then use this script to find investment.

And as a Hollywood newcomer, it is basically impossible to get investment just by relying on a script.This place is too realistic. Except for actors who can become famous overnight, no one can go from a newcomer with no works to a hot commodity that everyone earns investment. To get investment, you still need to rely on performance.And this has fallen into an endless loop, no money-no results-no one invests-no results-no money.

"Have you finished writing the script?" Petunia asked her.

Straight to the point.

"No." Diana answered confidently.

She has so many things to do now, how can she find the time to finish the script?What's more, she has only been in this industry for a short time, and she needs enough accumulation to write a reliable script.

Otherwise, with a bad script full of mistakes and omissions to attract investment, is it overwhelmed or overwhelmed?

"Then why don't you hurry up and start writing?" Petunia spat at her.

There is still time to talk about these useless things here, shouldn't it be time to lock yourself up and fight against the script?

"Don't worry, wait until I finish following the crew." Diana said calmly.

Apart from the problem of the script, there are too many things that a crew needs to pay attention to. She plans to finish the script after finishing the current work.

In addition, she has thought about investment matters, so there is no need to worry.

After finishing her work, her most important task is neither script nor investment, but to find a reliable agent!

Thanks to CAA, Hollywood not only set off a wave of star salary increases in the 80s, but also created a new way of making movies, that is, one-stop packaging and operation!

If it is her own, if she wants to run a film company, besides management, she needs to reserve various talents.It's not that she's going to hire a lot of staff for the company, such as director, camera, lighting, behind-the-scenes, props...etc. She doesn't have the financial resources!But as a qualified producer, she needs to find the most suitable film workers for her company from the huge operating mechanism of Hollywood.This is undoubtedly a level of difficulty for a Hollywood rookie, and Diana doesn't think she can accomplish this 'feat'.

But for a brokerage company, this work is much simpler. She can hand over the project to her broker to package it inside the brokerage company and find suitable investors.This is much less difficult than doing it alone, and the risk will be greatly reduced.

After all, Hollywood's famous saying is don't use your own money to make movies, and the code of conduct is to lure the wrongdoer into the pit if you can.

Diana would not take the investors who are willing to invest in herself as being taken advantage of, but since entering this industry, she must abide by the rules of this industry. No one stipulates that investing in a movie must make money. The quality of watching a movie depends on the method of operation afterwards!

And making movies with investors' money is undoubtedly much less dangerous than making movies with bank loans. At least the former will not chase after you for debts after the movie loses money. The difficulty increases; the latter is enough to make you bankrupt to repay the loan, and anyone who is not a fool knows which path to choose.

It’s just that there are some troubles in packaging a project through a brokerage company. Subsequent matters and copyright issues are difficult to cross the threshold. This method can only be used as a means of capital accumulation in the early stage. Workers still need their own connections and resources.

'Hope my career as a Hollywood producer goes well. 'Diana, who has always been a pantheist, prayed secretly in her heart.

Isn't her biggest purpose in wanting to enter Hollywood is to prevent the film company from reinventing her works?If the copyright and the right to speak are someone else's, why can't they do whatever they want?

"Honestly, is there something between you and Tom Cruise?" Hearing Diana's idea of ​​following up with the current crew, Petunia suddenly leaned in front of her and asked.

A look of gossip.

Judging from her understanding of Miss Morgan, this guy has never liked to be procrastinating, nor is she a procrastinator. There must be a reason for her to become unhurried all of a sudden!

Thinking of this, Penny remembered Mr. Cruise who went to catch rape with Diana some time ago.What kind of relationship can make such a big star who is popular in Hollywood risk being rumored to follow a girl to catch her boyfriend's rape?

Penny put a question mark on this question out of the caution of a writer, but in fact she gave the answer almost immediately. Of course, the other party was interested in their Abby!

Otherwise, why would a big star do such a thing?It's not that I'm idle and have nothing to do!

Then she asked directly.

"So Nicole Kidman is a smoke.smoke.bomb? Or is she trying to use Tom Cruise's fame to create hype?" Before Diana could answer, Penny asked a question.

The entertainment gossip industry in the United States is second only to the United Kingdom in the world rankings, and it has completely followed the fine traditions of the predecessors on Fleet Street-like to make things up!

And after experiencing the baptism of being sued by a star in court, he added new skills, and likes to use vague words such as said, heard, maybe, a certain star to keep himself in a safe zone.

So for Mr. Cruise's divorce, these gossip newspapers reported happily.Among them was his divorce from Mimi Rogers.

It’s a rehash of the same personality, because the heroine of “Ambition of Thunder” is very beautiful and he recommended it to the crew. The theory of infidelity is the most popular trend in gossip tabloids, and Nicole Kidman The biggest reason why it has frequently made headlines in various newspapers recently.

After all, a newcomer from Australia is really not as attractive as Tom Cruise's girlfriend.

Although some influential major newspapers will consider the credibility of the newspapers and will not report these scandals, there are even some newspapers that will post the time period between Mr. Cruise and Mimi Rogers from separation to divorce. Come out to prove your authority, but these are actually of no use.

Because what the masses like to watch is news with various legends, rather than boring and peaceful divorces.So sometimes people know it's fake, but everyone still talks about those fake news.

Penny is also one of them. Although she is a serious face dog, she really doesn't have any ideas about Mr. Cruise other than adding face, and because of this, she enjoys watching the lace news about this big star.

But it's different now that her family is young. Compared with Diana, she really doesn't believe that Tom Cruise will choose Nicole Kidman.

"I remember you took a job at the end of last year, and the object was Tom Cruise?" As he spoke, the flames of gossip in Petunia's eyes ignited.

At that time, "Thunder Ambition" hadn't started filming yet, which means there is something going on!

Diana: "..."

"You have too much imagination!" Speechlessly pushed Penny's head away from her eyes, Diana felt that this guy really deserves to be a student of literature, his brain is almost bigger than hers!

Mr. Crews has been entangled with Ms. Kidman for ten years, and has contributed countless sources of joy to the gossip tabloids in the 20 years after the divorce. They are destined to fall in love and kill each other. How could they be killed by others? destroy?

"Did you know? To explain is to cover up." Petunia waggled her fingers, posing like a professor of literary appreciation giving a lecture.

If there is nothing between these two people, she will eat the phone!

thought Petunia, trusting her instincts to be right.

"I didn't explain." Diana didn't know what to say when she looked at her smug face.

This guy doesn't make any sense at all. They are doing well between couples. The first film about love is almost finished, and the second part will be followed by the second part of the relationship. How can she tell that she and Mr. Cruise problem between?

"Well, you didn't explain, there is nothing between you." Seeing that Diana insisted that she was definitely not in a romantic relationship with Mr. Cruise, Petunia curled her lips and picked up the ice cream bowl again.

Even if there is no problem on Diana's side, there is a problem on Tom Cruise's side!However, considering that this was a personal relationship issue that belonged to Diana, Petunia did not press her further.

Anyway, if something really develops between these two people, she will know in the future, after all, they have made an appointment to be each other's bridesmaids!

Hey hey hey hey, did she remember something important?It's common in Hollywood to live together without getting married!Would that Tom Cruise be willing to walk into this grave after a failed marriage?Would her friends find this kind of boyfriend who only loves and never gets married?

Chick Carter scratched her head, feeling as though she had gotten a reason for Diana's insistence that there was nothing between the two of them.

"There is nothing in the first place. Instead of discussing my relationship issues, it is better to discuss other things. Although the script does not need to be created now, I have roughly an idea. How about helping me with this story?" Dai Anna shook her head, completely ignoring this matter, and started discussing another matter.

During this period of time, watching Mr. Cruise's filming gave her some inspiration, and she conceived a rough plot. If it works, she is going to use this story outline to create a script.

Different from the hot atmosphere on Diana's side, there was a small problem on Mr. Cruise's side.
