unofficial hollywood life

It's no secret that his main business is in actresses.Because of their own sexuality, many male actors actually don't want to find such a manager.

After all, to be an actor, most people are passable in appearance and figure, and there is never a shortage of handsome guys.The current environment is not fair to homosexuals.As long as an actor, whether male or female, as long as he/she announces his or her sexual orientation, her/his future future can basically be sentenced to death.

Needless to say, there were dozens of deep cabinets in the golden age decades ago, Rock Hudson, Cary Grant, etc., a bunch of men who married to hide their sexuality, the purpose is to maintain their status; Are there still few people with their own sexual orientation?Whether male or female, Kevin himself knows a lot.

As a gay, he is not a good choice in the eyes of straight actors or crooked actors.On the contrary, it is an actress, because of the sexuality of the agent, he will feel a little safe, which is the most important reason why the big names in his hands are all female stars.

And for an actress, a man who is not interested in women brings more than just security, but something else.Even if they go shopping and watch movies with them, no one will doubt them, which is undoubtedly a very beneficial thing.

"How beautiful?" Kevin couldn't help but speak after understanding what Diana meant.

His client is a great beauty in her own right, and to be able to get her to compliment a beautiful woman must be very good looking.

Although he doesn't want to sleep with women, Kevin is also a visual animal. Who wants to work with an ugly guy when he can work with a good-looking colleague?

"Better looking than Julia Roberts, at least in terms of facial features. As for temperament, it is very recognizable, with a wild and glamorous style." Diana grouped herself into a circle and said with a smile.

Compared to Ms. Roberts, she still likes this Jones beauty, with her gorgeous style and wheat-colored skin, it really makes people want to move around just looking at it!

It's a pity that she doesn't like women, otherwise, she must pursue this beauty!

Tsk clicked, Diana felt a little regretful.

"Believe me, most men will be tempted when they see her. I'll send you a fax later. Take a look and call me if you're interested." She said as she remembered the woman's representative The work "Stealing the Sky Trap".

It seems that this lady is not fully developed, otherwise the curves should be more enchanting, she thought regretfully.

Then after hanging up the phone, a still photo of the lady was passed on.

"I'm really an excellent producer!" Diana rubbed her chin and tossed her hair narcissistically.

When she got close to Catherine Zeta Jones in the afternoon, she asked him for some promotional stills for an interview across the ocean, which was much cheaper than using a plane as a means of transportation.

Thinking that she had already started to have the money-saving mentality of a producer before she officially stepped into this industry, Diana couldn't help being complacent, so she couldn't help but eat after hearing the news about "Love in New York" after returning to Los Angeles. Surprised.

"Mel Gibson? Isn't he a client of William Morris?" Diana let out a high-pitched scream that lived up to her grandmother's soprano blood.

what's going on?She just went to Europe for a vacation to celebrate her mother's birthday, and stopped by to visit her grandpa and grandma. Why did everything suddenly change beyond recognition?

Let's go back a little bit in time, the Morgan chick who walked into the caa building with a gift got a knowing blow from Kevin before she had time to take out the special product.

""New York Love" probably won't start in a short time." Kevin said with a sad face after seeing Diana.

Although he is already a very successful agent, his power in some aspects is still not comparable to that of some bigwigs.

"Nicolas Cage is not interested in the script?" Diana put her family's specialty honey on Kevin's table and asked without paying too much attention.

This gentleman is still a typical literary youth. You can tell what the other party’s preferred direction is by watching the movies he acts in. The script of "Love in New York" is really not in line with his usual style, so it is normal to not like it .

Diana herself didn't have any hopes for this matter, she just wanted to make a movie to gain experience.

"Actually, Nicolas Cage hasn't given me any news. Instead, Mel Gibson has sent me a message. The other party likes the script very much and wants to buy it and run it by himself." Kevin looked at the huge bird that could A person smashed the bloody honey bottle, and felt a toothache.

What the hell is going on! "Love in New York" is obviously an internal packaging project of CAA, how could it be taken by Mel Gibson?

Still bought it, do you know how much energy he spent on this project?If you don't know, just look at the thick stack of proposals on his desk!As long as the project is approved by Touchstone, he can immediately call one by one according to the above names to mobilize the staff. Does it take time to collect the schedule and salary information of these behind-the-scenes staff?

Just buy it with such a fluffy sentence, have you considered how much hair I lost because of this matter?

Kevin's angry head was about to burst into smoke!That's why Diana screamed.

"He is, but you forgot that he has a good friend." Kevin rubbed his forehead, feeling the nerves throbbing there, as if he wanted to show his strength.

"Uh, you mean Jodie Foster?" Diana tried hard to pull out memories and gossip from her mind.

The friendship between these two lasted for decades, from the 80s to the second decade of the 21st century, and it can continue as long as they don't hang up.

And it's not that kind of plastic friendship, Mr. Gibson was one of the few friends who reached out to him during the years when Mr. Gibson was at his worst. This lady seemed to be the two of them even collaborated on a movie?As for Ms. Foster, there have always been rumors that her child's gene came from Mr. Gibson, because the relationship between the two people is really close. Jodie Foster's two pregnancies were all through artificial insemination. Everyone They all guessed that the donor was the big star who was born in the United States and lived in Australia.

But these are gossips that cannot be verified, and the looks of Mel Gibson and Jodie Foster are not to Diana's appetite, so she doesn't care about it.

But now Kevin told her that the leading actor in the movie was going to be Mel Gibson, and it seemed that the other party wanted to kick her out of the crew?

This is unbearable!

"That's right, it's her. The script was also sent to her, and I think Gibson saw it from her." Kevin said weakly, feeling a burst of fatigue in his heart, and wanted to strike.

Although it was not a complete script, it had been filed with the Screenwriters Union, and the notice from the Copyright Office had been received a few days ago, so there was no possibility of the script being taken away, but this situation still made him very upset.

Kevin is not the kind of little manager who doesn't have much power. In fact, Mr. Smiling Tiger already has a tight network inside CAA.He has several popular actresses in his hands, and with his superb wrists, he already has a lot of weight in Michael Ovitz.Moreover, he has operated for so many years, and he has a lot of resources and contacts in his hands. Even if Mel Gibson likes this script very much, it is impossible to take it away from him, not to mention that the copyright of the script is held by Diana. That's the key.

And considering Diana's character, she would not choose William Morris, a brokerage company, to cooperate with.

That's right, this matter is really annoying. Can you feel comfortable if someone interferes with a well-packed project?

Thinking of this, he was very dissatisfied with Jodie Foster, the Oscar queen.You can just read the script, it’s your fault if you leak out of the company, even if you have a good relationship with that Mel Gibson, there should be some bottom line, right?Kevin started complaining about that 'friendship' that everyone in Hollywood is known for, shit!

"So, what is the company going to do now?" After screaming, Diana frowned and asked Kevin.

Why does this matter reveal a strange atmosphere?

"You don't have to worry about this. This project won't be cut. At most, it will be with Mel Gibson. Considering his box office appeal, this possibility is very high." Kevin waved his hand helplessly said.

That's one of the things he hates the most, being a Hollywood person always has to make a little sacrifice.

The actor Mel Gibson is almost a box office guarantee now.The American people have always liked this kind of tough guy role, and he just hit this point, and he almost exploded one after another.

Formed a younger generation alliance with Tom Cruise, Bruce Willis, Tom Hanks, Nicolas Cage, etc., to the older generation of actors, such as Dustin Hoffman, Al Pacino, Paul Newman.Harrison Ford... et al formed the offensive trend.Now is the time when these people are hot. If he is optimistic about a script, then without even thinking about it, Touchstone will definitely choose him as the leading actor.

"Oh—" Diana drew a long note.

"Kevin, would you mind getting back to me with a question?" Diane asked slowly after a long draw.

"What? Of course I don't mind." Kevin looked at Diana strangely.

They are a community of interests, what can't they ask?Even if you ask him whether he is top or bottom, he will answer, as long as he does not ask about posture.

Well, Kevin really deserves to be an old fritter who has been in Hollywood for many years, and the bottom line is low enough.

"I've always found it very strange, is "New York Love" really that good? It can be favored by such a popular star? You must know that it was given up by Julia Roberts at the beginning. And to be honest, I I really don’t have that much confidence in my screenwriting ability, even though it’s a qualified script, it’s far from being excellent. So why did Mel Gibson take a fancy to it?” Diana tilted The head asks its own questions.

Really, she is quite confident about writing. After all, no matter in her previous life or this life, she has made money by relying on it, and she is also a best-selling author, but the fields are different.

But the screenwriter?It's not that she doesn't have confidence, but she really doesn't feel how good her script is.Just like the old Robert said, she likes to use modifier words too much. When used in the novel, the audience can substitute their own emotions, but it is actually very useless in the script, but a kind of burden.This kind of script can still impress Mel Gibson, a famous star who can pick scripts?Why does Diana feel that this matter is so unreliable?

"Uh—" Kevin looked embarrassed.

He doesn't know how to explain this to Diana, can he say that he was also surprised after reading the script that was said to be revised by Mel Gibson?

"Because Mel Gibson changed the story of this chick movie into a history of the rise of middle-aged men. You know the purpose?" Kevin said with a depressed face.

Although the plot hasn't changed much, the concept of the whole movie is different. From the original heroine's perspective to the male protagonist's perspective, we also focused on digging out the inner scenes in the middle, and directly sublimated the theme, making the love story completely become A philosophical story about the choice between love and duty.

Basically, it's for the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences trophy with thousands of members. This is an Olympic film he created for himself!

That's why I'm so persistent in wanting to buy the script. After all, this is the most foolproof way. When the time comes, I can change it however I want, and I can also get my friends to help out. It's simply the most cost-effective thing.Especially considering that the author of the script is a fledgling little screenwriter, this is her first work, and it is not difficult at all to get it done, so it is strange not to make this choice.

But fortunately, Kevin is still a decent agent. His bottom line is that the script must be jointly developed. Even if the story based on this script can really be on the Oscar stage in the future, Diana must also appear on it together. , want to leave her alone, no way!

Perhaps this is the biggest reason why his clients have always liked this smiling man very much. He always tries his best to consider his clients.Even in very difficult situations, he will strive for sufficient benefits for his clients.

"I know." Diana nodded in understanding.

As for the Oscars, in the age of declining influence, Mr. Li can fight for it for 20 years, and he can't live with his god-given beauty, let alone in this era?Oscar is the Iron Throne of the 90s, everyone wants to sit on it, no matter how many thorns they will pass through in the process.

So her screenwriter is really bad, right?

"Then what's your decision? Cooperate or temporarily seal the script?" Kevin asked, looking at Diana with a sad face.

No matter which film company puts this kind of thing in, it will choose Mel Gibson, which is a routine operation.It wouldn't be normal if the studio chose Diana.If she doesn't want to cooperate with Mel Gibson, then she can only raise funds to produce it herself, and this is undoubtedly contrary to her idea of ​​​​wanting external investment to produce movies.

"Whatever, it doesn't matter whether it's an award-winning film or a commercial film, as long as we guarantee the benefits we deserve, and if my company wants to participate in the production, I must be one of the producers." Diana is not as good as Kevin imagined. anger.

After all, she didn't take this script seriously at the very beginning, and even thought about the content concept casually, the purpose is to gain experience.

It doesn't matter if someone takes over now, at least this film is aimed at the Oscars, and it's impossible to turn it into a bad film, as long as their legitimate interests are not damaged.

Then Chick Morgan, who was thinking this way, saw Mr. Gibson who wanted to buy her script at the premiere of "Ambition of Thunder".

"He looks just average, why is this guy so popular?" Standing at the position of the working group, Diana looked at Mr. Gibson who was flirting on the red carpet and wondered.

To be honest, she really didn't get the handsomeness of this gentleman, isn't she just a normal American?He looks a bit like Bush Jr., where is the charm that attracts so many audiences to scream for him?

In her eyes, Mr. Gibson is not as good-looking as Paul Newman and Robert Redford, his tough guy temperament is not as good as John Wayne and Clint Eastwood, and his sense of depth is not as good as Humphrey Bogart and Gary Cooper, not to mention that the iron temperament is not as good as Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone.She really couldn't figure out why this guy was so popular!

"You are looking at him purely from the opposite standpoint, which is actually quite unfair." Old Robert walked to her side, just in time to hear this sentence, and couldn't help but say.

He had also heard about the incident with Morgan Chick's script, but he didn't expect it to turn out like this after a lot of tossing around. It was really surprising.

Chick movie turned into an Olympic work?Really dare to think and dare to do it!

But for Diana's evaluation of Mel Gibson's looks, Robert Sr. still has to say a few fair words.This person is actually quite handsome, and he is the type of looks that the American people are looking for in a typical sense.Tall and handsome, with a firm face and sharp eyes, combined with good acting skills, the American people simply love him to death!

"I think it's fair. Do you think this guy is more handsome than Tom?" Diana turned her head and looked at old Robert seriously.

It seems to be waiting for him to refute him in time as soon as he gives a positive answer.

Robert: "..."

You know you're finding fault?These two people are not the same type of handsome guy at all, what is there to compare?

"Of course there is! Tom is a man who can earn super high box office by his face. He is good-looking but not feminine. He has a sunny atmosphere in his whole body, which makes people feel happy when he looks at it. When he smiles, he is contagious. Even more powerful, as long as he bends his eyes and curls his lips, he can make people laugh along with him! But what about Gibson? My dear, don’t tell me that when Mr. Gibson laughs, you will laugh along with him. His infectious power It's not that powerful." Diana deliberately complained to old Robert in a sweet voice.

With these two men in front of her, she must choose Tom. Even with the factor of height, Gibson is sure to lose!Yan Gou is so upright!

Robert: "..."

He found that he was a little bit too much today when he was blocked and unable to speak.

This guy Diana is simply too quibble!

But recalling the smiles of Tom and Gibson, the old Robert still thinks what she said is quite right. Gibson's smile is not as big as Tom's, and purely from the appearance, it is also Tom's victory......

Oops!

Old Robert complained in his heart that he was accidentally led astray by Diana, how could there be such a comparison?If that's the case, wouldn't all the other actors be out of work?

To put it bluntly, it is a matter of personal aesthetics!He felt that he really couldn't discuss a man's appearance with Miss Morgan, shame was fine, but she could always turn the topic to unknown places, this attribute was really terrifying!

On the contrary, Tom, who had just stepped off the red carpet and walked behind the two of them, looked surprised. Is his image in Diana's heart actually like this?How about a little excitement?

Then Mr. Cruise fell into deep thought. It seems that his face is still a bit attractive to Diana. Does he have to shake it twice in front of her frequently to show his presence?So as expected, I should still brush my face. Lure?

Thinking that he should have free time after this wave of movie promotion, Tom felt that this was a feasible plan and it was necessary to implement it.

"You walked the red carpet so quickly?" Sensing someone appearing behind the two of them, Diana looked back and was surprised.

What about the actor who promised to leave at the end?Why did this guy run to the work area without saying a word?The speed is still so fast, didn't you see Ms. Kidman alone on the red carpet?

Diana suspiciously wandered back and forth between Mr. Cruise next to him and Nicole Kidman not far away, trying to find out why they didn't hold hands and walked the red carpet together.

According to common sense, the marriage between Mr. Cruise and Mimi Rogers has been divorced for more than four months. Shouldn't it be public?Why is it still like 'I don't know you well'?

Thinking about what she heard recently about Michael Douglas and Warren Beatty pursuing Ms. Kidman, Diana's eyes changed instantly.

No way, boss, you actually lost to those two vagabonds whose looks you dumped by eighteen blocks, that's unscientific!

Shocked, puzzled, disappointed, hating iron for nothing...Mr. Cruise felt that he had read at least three or four emotions in Diana's eyes, and suddenly became dazed.
