[US Entertainment] Actress

Time flies, and it is June in a blink of an eye.Los Angeles is full of abundant rain in June, and the whole world is covered with water marks.Noy walked in front with an umbrella, and Vivian followed her to hold the script and bag for her. It was 6:6 in the morning, and it was only 8 minutes before the crew assembled at 30:8. Noy ​​walked in a hurry After a while, the mud splashed on her silver-white sandals and trousers, but Noy didn't care.

There is only seven or eight minutes' journey between the hotel where the crew stayed and the studio, but on rainy days, it took her twice as long as usual to reach the studio smoothly.Fortunately, Noy was not late despite a lot of mud splashed on his clothes and shoes.

Charles Herman Winfield greeted her with a smile: "Good morning, Noye!"

"Charles, good morning, you look very good today." Noy responded with a smile, "The coffee brought by Vivienne is in the lounge. You can get a cup if you need it."

"Of course, I'd do that." Charles Herman Winfield, MGM's choice for director of Legally Blonde's second installment; He achieved good box office results, but he was not really trusted by MGM. When choosing a director for the second film, Robert was directly excluded by MGM. He had previously directed "Who Kissed Jackie?" Sika, and Charles Herman Winfield, who has experience as a romantic comedy director, has become the successor. He will be responsible for the second filming of the "Legal Blonde" movie.

Compared with the first film, the cast of the second part of the film has not changed much, even because the reason for the first film is completely attributed to Noy. In addition to inviting Noy to complete the second film, MGM In addition to the shooting of the film, not much effort was spent on the selection of other actors.

In order to persuade Noye to shoot the second film, MGM offered Noye a salary of 900 million US dollars. The "Wind Talker" produced by the company has been screened in thousands of theaters across the United States on June 6. Regrettably, compared with the production fee of 14 million US dollars, the box office only received 1.2 million US dollars in the first week of release, which really cost MGM Films nothing.Under such circumstances, the upcoming filming of the second part of "Legal Blonde" has undoubtedly become the straw for MGM to save itself. Therefore, although Unique's asking price is higher than Noy's current net worth, MGM Films still Nodding helplessly.

Except for "Wind Talker", MGM has almost no profitable series. Although Noye is suspected of taking advantage of the fire, considering the huge profits that the "Legal Blonde" series can bring, MGM has no choice.

In addition, the investment in the second film has also climbed to 4500 million US dollars, which is more than double the investment of only 1800 million in the first film. This also proves that the current situation of MGM is indeed a bit bad-of course, The follow-up box office of "Wind Talker" is still unknown, and it will take some time to see the outcome.

Of course, in the first week of the blockbuster summer season, the box office only received more than 1400 million U.S. dollars, which is really deserted. Especially compared to the huge investment in the film, MGM Films may have a long way to go if it wants to recover the cost.

Noy sat in the dressing room and let the stylist make her hair blonde. After a night of sound sleep and the rain in the morning, Noy's hair color was not as dazzling as yesterday. Of course, doing her hair every day is a necessary habit after she became an actress. , closing her eyes and letting the stylist move on her head, she can take the opportunity to catch up on sleep.

The second part of "Legally Blonde" tells the story of Elle who became a lawyer in a law firm after graduating from Harvard Law School, and Emmott, whom she met at Harvard, successfully became her lover and future husband.She hopes to see the parents of her pet dog Brussels at her wedding. However, during the search for the puppy's parents, Allie discovers that the poor couple has become an experimental product for a cosmetics company.Ellie, who became a lawyer, of course would not allow such a thing to happen. In order to save the puppy couple, she continued to fight for the rights that the puppy deserved, but what she did caused the law firm to fire her As a last resort, Ellie can only come to Washington, hoping that Congress can introduce a law to protect animals.

The first part is about the conflict caused by Ellie's pink color in the serious and quiet Harvard campus, while the second part turns the perspective to the mysterious but more solemn Congress, lively and beautiful pink and dull black and gray, The movie hopes to burst out a stronger laugh than the previous one through the impact of color.

But in Noye's view, the plot of the second film can barely be called qualified, far from being comparable to the first film.When Noy took over the filming of the first film, she thought about it as a woman of a suitable age. She thought that although the content of the first film was a bit absurd and uninhibited, it made people see Ellie's growth, and saw her hiding behind the blonde girl. A smart and wise heart under the stupid appearance.The first one can resonate with girls. Ellie came to Harvard for a man who didn’t love her. Stimulated by her emotions, she worked hard to be worthy of that man, and finally became a better person. A better elite.

The beginning of the second part is a bit absurd. In any case, there may be no reason for people to love animals, but isn’t it absurd to want to bring the parents of pet dogs to your wedding because you love animals?From this point, it is difficult to see that Elle is still the smart and wise blonde, but she really seems to have the inherent stupid characteristics of the popular blonde.

Noye had discussed this issue with screenwriter Eve Elliott, but he insisted that such an opening would be more comedic, and Noye's suggestion was directly rejected by him.

Noye later raised related questions to Eve Elliott, but the veteran screenwriter who had made a name for himself in the screenwriting world was obviously not interested in her "childish" and "ridiculous" suggestions. In the end, MGM The side had to send someone to adjust the conflict between the heroine and the lead screenwriter, but in the end, Noye's suggestion was not adopted.

In any case, Noy is an actress. She thinks she is quite responsible for her work, and she also hopes that the movie she starred in will have a perfect script. She has tried her best to give suggestions, but the screenwriter disagrees. She can't help it.

In short, MGM Films is willing to pay her $900 million, and Noy thought a little self-deprecatingly, no matter what the film's final word-of-mouth is, her money will not be less.

"Okay, Noy, do you think there is anything else that needs to be changed?" The stylist is still the stylist of "1", and she is already familiar with Noy's blonde hair style.Noy took a closer look and found nothing inappropriate, so he thanked the stylist with a smile.On the other side, the rest of the crew had already prepared, and only Nuoyi was left alone.

Compared with the first part, the atmosphere of the crew was better when the second part was filmed.

When the first film was filmed, the crew, from the director to the actors, were all new roles in Hollywood. As the heroine, Noy only had shooting experience in two films. Therefore, although the atmosphere of the crew has always been very good, the relationship between the young actors Occasional conflicts are also very common, and even many times, because the director Robert Luketic's qualifications are too shallow, he cannot suppress other actors in the crew.

The second part was different.Noy's status has undergone tremendous changes. She has soared directly from an unknown third-tier star in Hollywood to today's quasi-first-tier. It can be said that the excellent box office of "Legal Blonde 1" is supported by her alone, not to mention It is said that now she still has a Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actress and an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actress.In the crew of "Legal Blonde 2", Noy is the only star. Although the director Charles Herman Winfield is a director born in 66, his position in the director circle is far inferior to Noy's status among actors. , so during the filming process, his attitude towards Noy has always been kind, which is why Noy's current status has changed.

Although Charles Herman Winfield is not as famous as Noye, he is also a director with rich shooting experience, so he can suppress the other actors in the crew. Since the filming of "Legal Blonde 2", apart from some quarrels between Noy and the screenwriter Eve Elliott because of the script, the overall atmosphere of the "2" crew is still quite good.

Noy has also thought about the conflict between her and the screenwriter. She thinks she is adhering to the principle of being responsible for the film, but in Yves Elliott’s view, this is the performance of the main actor trying to get involved in the script. The two have different divisions of labor. The perspectives are also different, and conflicts are inevitable.

"Hey Luke, here we go!"

Luke Wilson nodded, stood up according to the instructions of the director's assistant, and the two started today's filming.

In this episode, Emmott, played by Luke, is lecturing in class, but Ellie calls at this time, telling her that she wants to bring her parents in Brussels to attend the wedding.The two had already cooperated in the first film, and they were naturally familiar with filming the second film.

The studio is small, so in the movie, the two are far away and talk to each other on the phone. In essence, Emmott is lecturing in the built-up classroom, and Noy is circling on the road outside the classroom.

"Emott, listen to me, I hope everyone can come to our wedding!" Ellie said happily on the phone, at this moment, the barking of a dog caught her attention.

Ellie's eyes widened and she let out a sigh.

The setting of the plot is that the call from Brussels reminded Ellie to invite her parents, but the plot was not so easy when it was actually filmed.

In "Legal Blonde 1", Brussels is a cute Chihuahua. Of course, the Chihuahua found by the first film crew is very cute and cute. However, after a year, the real owner of the dog has moved from Los Angeles to other places. After going to other places, the crew could only find a dog that looked very similar to Brussels.

However, this dog was far less cooperative than the original one.
