[American Entertainment] Bright life

Sterling has always known that his clients are very talented. In terms of acting, every time Grace immerses herself in the role and explodes, Sterling is amazed. Of course, Sterling thinks there is a small part of the reason. It is because Grace is too different from the character in the script, but there is no doubt that she has great potential anyway. Just before Sterling faced Grace’s tears, she fell as soon as she said it, and her emotions came as soon as she said it. Scenes.

Likewise, Sterling doesn't think his client will land the role this time around.

As for Enchanted, it was in Hollywood, with the energy and checks of big capitalists to clear the way.As for "The Duchess", aside from other force majeure factors, Grace, who is currently only famous in the West End of London, has a very small chance of being finally selected by the producer.

Sterling was thinking about how to sort out the twists and turns with his client, but Grace had already changed from the light green costume she wore during the audition to the casual clothes she was wearing. .There seemed to be tears in her eyes, which made her look less aggressive. Of course, it may be an illusion, because the first sentence she came over was: "Before auditioning me, They've already made their selection."

The second sentence reads: "I was recommended to audition by Amanda Fuhrman."

Sterling: "...Amanda Fuhrman? Is the original author? Do you know her?"

Grace shook her head.

"Then how did you know this? They told you—" Sterling thought of Grace's incredible deduction ability, and immediately changed his words, "Just pretend I didn't ask. Wait, you mean you You know at the audition that they've got a cast, so why are you doing it again?"

Grace thought for a while and gave a serious reason: "Frustration education?"

Sterling's head was full of black lines, "What kind of mentality do you have to say this reason?"

Grace stared at him with blue eyes and asked back: "I thought this was what you wanted, since you recommended me to audition for Enchanted, didn't you?"

Sterling choked for three seconds, and said stiffly: "Congratulations on getting your doctorate in psychology, Dr. Green. Yes, this is also a rhetorical statement. Can we go now? By the way, I I have chosen another script for you."

Grace was not half surprised: "I know."

"Okay, great." Sterling said each word, and then he had to send Grace home without complaint, but halfway his client received a call from Mr. H, and Sterling was in Grace. After hanging up the phone, he raised his eyebrows and said, "I thought you guys had already broken up."

Grace just gave him an address, and then fiddled with her phone with her head down, as if there was something in the phone that attracted her.

Sterling glanced at Grace hesitantly, and really began to feel that her personality flaws were not so serious. Is this a good thing?Sterling wasn't too sure, but he didn't express any opinion on Grace's meeting with her ex-boyfriend from the agent's point of view, so he sent Grace to the address she said.

Grace and Tom make an appointment to meet at a coffee shop, and this is the same coffee shop where Tom settled Grace with a scratched arm when they first met, and he went to a nearby pharmacy to buy medicine.

At this time, nearly nine months had passed since they first met, and it had only been three days since they had a disagreement backstage at the Royal Shakespeare Theatre, and Grace voluntarily ended their relationship afterwards.

During this period, Tom regretted leaving the theater door. He didn't want to break up with Grace. He didn't think about it at the beginning. He tried to keep her, but he couldn't see Grace for the past three days. He just Talked to her on the phone, and now that Grace has agreed to see him, does that mean there is still room for redemption?

"Grace!"

When Tom saw Grace approaching, he couldn't help standing up, walked towards her and wanted to hold her hand subconsciously, but when he raised his hand in the air, he realized that he didn't seem to be qualified now, because he did a very stupid thing.Thinking of this, Tom's usually charming gray-green eyes couldn't help but feel sad.

Grace took him a look, then looked away, and said in a declarative tone, "You're in a bad state, and I don't think this is a good time to talk."

Tom had studied Grace's language before, and clearly understood that Grace was expressing her concern awkwardly. Tom really couldn't understand how he could say such hurtful words that Grace's heart was made of stone. "Grace, I'm just a fool, I did a very, very stupid thing, I'm sorry—"

Grace looked straight into Tom's eyes: "I can't accept your apology, because you didn't say anything wrong. I have always believed that being emotional is a physical defect, so I advocate the supremacy of reason. You just used rhetorical techniques when you said that That’s all, it’s the same meaning as what I’m insisting on, so—”

"Grace," Tom hurriedly interrupted Grace's statement, "please don't say that, I know it's not true." He still clearly remembers Grace's heartbroken expression when they first met , Even though Grace never showed such extreme emotions later, he knew very well that Grace was not the kind of person she said now, she just wrapped her soft heart with an indifferent appearance.Tom thought a lot in the past few days, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that he would take Suzanne backstage and let Grace see the opportunity to test Grace's feelings for him. It was really stupid!

Grace looked out the window, she remembered here, to be precise, she remembered chasing someone who looked like her brother outside this street, and what she stated was what Mycroft taught her and Sherlock since they were young, don't intervene would not have been hurt, and Mycroft was always right.

"I screwed up everything, didn't I?"

Tom is now looking haggard, and there is still a green stubble on his chin, which is really unusual for him who pays attention to appearance and etiquette, and now he finally realizes that there is no room for redemption between him and Grace.

Grace turned her head and looked at Tom with a painful expression on her face. She could actually say that what he likes is not the real her, but the one he met at the crossroads of this street, and the one he imagined. , and under the influence of dopamine to support him until now; or tell him that he is so uncomfortable now because of emotion, so she said that emotion is a defect... But Grace said no Out.

"I'm sorry, forgive me." Finally, Grace got up from her seat, leaned over to plant a kiss on Tom's forehead, and said to him seriously, "God bless you, Tom Hiddleston .”

……

As Grace and Sterling analyzed, "The Duchess" producer Gabriel Tana had already cast Keira Knightley as Georgiana, so it wasn't surprising that the film was released shortly after that day. I received a call from there notifying the audition result—of course I didn’t pass—the call was made by the director Saul Dibb himself, and he didn’t say too much about the reason why the crew didn’t choose Grace. It's just that this is the result of various considerations by the crew, and finally said that they hope to have the opportunity to cooperate in the future.

Sterling's perception of the crew of "The Duchess" is very general. After Grace's interpretation, he also roughly analyzed why Grace was invited to audition: the producer didn't want to offend the author of the original work, so he sent his client Pulling it away as cannon fodder, even though it is clear why the producer would not choose Grace, Sterling still feels uncomfortable in his heart. He still doesn't like the crew of "The Duchess".

At the end of the day, The Duchess is just a British film.

Although the British theater world is well-known, and the West End of London can rival Broadway, but in terms of its status in the film industry, there is no doubt that the most influential and far-reaching films in the world are those produced by Hollywood. .Sterling is not prepared to let his clients waste time on this tasteless British film. Well, he has to admit that, in addition to the reasons he mentioned above, the big capitalists behind him also play a deterrent role.

Sterling didn't want to eat with his client's brother, Mr. Green, at all. Now that he thought of that meal, his stomach would protest unconsciously.

So after getting a decline call from the "Duchess" crew, Sterling gave Grace a script he had prepared.

"The adaptation of a stage play or play to a film, or vice versa, a film to a stage play or a play, is not uncommon in the history of cinema. This script is one of them. It is adapted from a play. You may have heard This stage play "Mamma Mia", it seems that it officially appeared on the stage for the audience in 1999—"

"To be precise, it was April 1999, 4, at the Prince Edward Theater in London." Grace corrected solemnly.

Sterling answered without distraction: "Really?"

"Of course, do you need me to provide you with a more precise time?" Grace seriously suggested, and Sterling smirked: "No, how dare I question the words of the little princess of the theater. Anyway, " Mamma Mia is the longest-running Broadway play so far. After it was performed, many companies wanted to buy its movie rights. Now an agreement has been reached. Tom Hanks and Gary Playtone Films, co-founded by Goetzman, co-produced with the stage show's producer Judy Kramer's Littlestar.

The reason why I recommend you to audition for this movie is that apart from the fact that movies adapted from stage plays or dramas are not so easy to lose both box office and word of mouth, there is another important reason. I got inside information that they plan to invite May Lil Streep takes on the role of Mommy—”

Sterling stopped, took a deep breath and said slowly: "The names I mentioned, especially Meryl Streep and Tom Hanks, you don't know any of them, do you? ?”

What answered him was the innocent look in his client's eyes, which of course was deliberately faked.

God bless me!
