Chicago 1990

"What's the matter with you? Charis!"

Happily rushed back to Los Angeles overnight, and the agent who picked up the plane made a straight face when he saw it, "I didn't control my diet? I only spent a few days in New York, and my body shape rebounded again!"

"The face is a little swollen!"

That means I got fat and went back?Charis suddenly couldn't control her emotions and recoiled him and yelled, "I was on a red-eye flight all night. I didn't sleep well. I have to take another trip back to New York tonight to continue acting that damn call girl! Tired! Really tired, okay..."

"Uh, keep your voice down..."

Her sudden eruption caused people on the left and right to look around. The agent immediately reversed his attitude, and hurriedly said softly to make up for it, "Why are you crying? I'm sorry, my fault, I shouldn't tell you this. Don’t cry and swell your eyes anymore, Charis, anyway, you have to show up in front of Tom Hanks in your best condition in the morning. Come, while there is still some time, I’ll take you to a beauty treatment and eat some by the way. Things, I have reserved a room for you in the hotel near the audition venue, and you can go there to rest and sleep. Don’t worry, I’ve arranged everything, the makeup artist and the hair stylist are on standby, your competitors Not strong, and the latest news I found is that Mr. Hanks and the casting director are very inclined to choose you."

My own master agent is all fringe artists, waiting for next year's sixth call girl, blade warrior, unstoppable miracle... Hmph, I'm no longer an anonymous person in Hollywood!This is the last time you yelled at me!Charis is secretly proud of the quiet transposition of the strengths and weaknesses of both sides.

"Have you gained a little weight?"

The better news comes from Tom Hanks. The top actor’s years of acting experience made him look like the first time he was a director. The audition that started on time in the morning was unexpectedly gone, and she immediately played poorly. Tearfully replied that he was only filming Spike Lee's scene in New York, and he was too involved. Then, after catching the night flight back and getting a little tired, Tom Hanks looked at it twice and didn't worry any more.

"That's it? Actually, there is no other audition content today. I and the rest of the crew just went to watch the cat and mouse game yesterday. Everyone is very satisfied with your performance. The appearance in just a few seconds is very impressive. Not bad Charis. So... the female number two is yours. Let your agent come in and sign the contract. We will finish the matter today."

"Really!?"

Charlis jumped up and screamed happily. She rushed over and hugged the superstar and novice director to thank you, "Thank you! Mr. Hanks, thank you for giving me this opportunity!"

"Just call me Tom."

Gentleman Hanks patted her on the back, "By the way, pay attention to controlling your body shape. Before entering the group, I want to see the perfect you. The relevant terms will also be written in the film appointment."

"I will! Definitely!" she promised loudly.

"Charis! Miss Theron!"

When they were going out to report the good news to the agent and the fat attendant, the three of them happily hugged each other to celebrate. The casting director chased out from the inside, "Take this." He handed over a business card, "My friend's For one project,'Two Days in the Valley' is also looking for an audition for an actress. I think you are very suitable for one of the roles, so you can contact me."

"The valley... Two days..." The agent took her business card for her, and the title made him crooked.

"Don't worry, it has nothing to do with that valley."

The casting director smiled knowingly, "A very formal project, the plot structure is a bit similar to Quentin's vulgarity, multi-line narrative and multiple protagonists, and you may even win prizes after shooting. You have a lot of roles and can even be regarded as the heroine. Or one of the two heroines, take the opportunity."

"Oh, how can I thank you..."

Charis was very moved, and hugged each other again. The casting director was Gay. Before, she was worried that he wanted to dive into himself, which was completely wrong.

"For the audition, I just recommended it to the other crew. You are so beautiful, so smart, so hard, and you will come out one day, just as if I was doing venture capital.

In the past few years, why didn't you meet Tom Hanks and such an honest and kind-hearted person?A man coveting his body stood at the door of every opportunity, including APLUS. I would have stayed for a while if I knew it...

Ugh!

Could it be my bad luck?Charis leaned against her shoulder and sighed slightly.

"Finish!"

Conditions such as remuneration have already been negotiated, and it didn't take much time for Charis to officially take down the female second role and a thick script.

"The heroine will be Liv Tyler." The agent reported an unfamiliar name. "Her father is Steven Tyler, the lead singer of the Smith Spaceship Band."

"It's another star second generation."

She sneered while flipping through the script greedily, with disdain on her mouth and a little jealousy in her heart. Why didn't she have a good father?

"Her mother was a well-known early in the life of rock stars, and even with the entire band. It is said that in order to find out who her biological father is, there are more than a dozen singers doing paternity testing in the circle."

The agent made a big announcement, and then solemnly reminded, "Don't mess with her in the crew, her connections and resources are not comparable to you."

"We don't seem to have much rivalry." Charis quickly flipped over from the beginning to the end, and only got part of the audition before.

"If you have time to study this slowly, don't worry, let's go, and today you have a good rest." The agent went to drive.

"Oh, I have to catch a night flight at night. The deputy director who won't appear on the crew tomorrow will kill me."

Back at the hotel, the agent couldn’t wait to find out about the Valley’s two-day project. Charis was very excited. She now very much wants to hold a party to spread the good news in the Hollywood circle of friends, but... The success is almost a breath, we must be patient!She filled herself with a large glass of champagne, and sulked her neck bravely with her volume.

"Huh!" She sighed comfortably, and then her stomach suddenly became nauseous and retching.

"What's wrong with Charis?" the fat attendant asked.

"It's okay, maybe I drank too eagerly." She pressed her hand on her chest and slowly, feeling more comfortable.

"It just happens to have time today, make an appointment with your family doctor to see? You have always had minor problems with your body recently." The fat attendant asked with concern.

"Also..."

She actually wanted to see a doctor a long time ago, and after an appointment, the two drove to the family doctor.When passing by the entrance of a theater, she saw an oversized poster of a cat and mouse game outside. It was the "family portrait" version of the crew. She knew that the actors were arranged in a very particular way. The handsome male protagonist Jared Leto And John Malkovich, the male second with a revolver, occupies the center of the screen back-to-back, suggesting their hostile position in the plot. The full-length photos of the two are also the largest proportion, and then the male third and the heroine Amy Adams are separated on both sides. Male No. 4, Ashley Judd, Xue Linfen and others are deployed strictly in order of coffee position, and the proportion is getting smaller and smaller.

She has carefully studied it a long time ago. There is no herself in the poster, but there is a girl who has taken her role as a bank teller, and there is even Amy Ake who has fewer roles than herself. That girl and other young girls who play flight attendants are holding hands. Lined up with a smile as the background of the entire poster.

"Send Amy Adams to compete for the best female partner?"

In this theater, Song Ya is watching the cat-and-mouse game again with Harvey Weinstein, who has finally appeared. The box office momentum is good, so you have to consider winning the prize. If you can get some performances under the shadow of the director’s backwater Technical awards or nominations can be regarded as big wins, and we still have to fight for them.

"No, I have no chance, and I will be talked about." Harvey, an award-winning expert, shook his head and refused. He stretched out his finger and said in a big way: "The best adapted screenplay, there is a chance, you let Johnny Carson It’s a good idea to host the famous screenwriter of the most famous talk show in the past. His energy alone is not small. I see him jumping up and down recently. I must be very concerned about this award. Let’s join hands and work hard together."

"anything else?"

The movie has just opened, and the film titles of Bowei Pictures and Hollywood Pictures appear in sequence, followed by A+ Film Studio. The simplest is a line of big words, Miramax followed closely, and finally a shadow The person turned into a pigeon and flew away, which was the logo of the Free film studio of the Ridley Scott brothers.

"Let us dove, it turns out that your logo has already foreshadowed, old director..." Song Ya muttered to herself.

"What to put the pigeons?" Harvey asked.

"It's nothing."

The conversation continued, "Other awards are difficult, the best soundtrack has a chance, that is your area of ​​advantage." Harvey said.

"Uh, is there really a chance? Will it be a bit rough?"

Song Ya was a little embarrassed because he was too lazy to make complicated orchestral music carefully. He just bought some old songs' authorization according to the original version, and then handed over the notation of the orchestral part to the professional scorer, and the final result was different from the original film. It became a little big, "and it's the 40s cartoon style of cat and mouse..."

"Believe me, the current judges will eat this one." Harvey laughed.

"is it?"

Song Ya started to stay away. He would have spent a lot of time thinking about it before he knew it. Now it’s good. If you get the award, you have to share it with the soundtrack...

"Help John Malkovich get a nomination for the best actor, perfect!" Harvey talked and laughed and planned everything.

Generally speaking, I can be satisfied, not greedy anymore. After the feature film began, Song Ya quietly drove to think about other things.

In the past Thanksgiving Day and Black Friday, the U.S. shopping festival, A+ Apparel also handed in satisfactory answers. With this festival, profits have increased dramatically this year. Now my business is in addition to the media. All-round attack, then wait until next year's rich list...

Hehe, he couldn't help grinning in the dim auditorium.

"APLUS! Mr. APLUS! Please wait."

After the screening, he was entangled by the people from Anschutz Entertainment, the performing arts company in charge of his December concert tour, and the other party brought a senior from the sports department of the same company.

"Didn't I say? Don't buy a football team, don't buy a football team!"

The other party just mentioned the old tune again, taking advantage of the cooperation with him to promote the Chicago Fire football team project again.

One is that I don’t want to buy some ghost football team, and the other is that the Apocalypse football movie is only one fragment short of the collection of seven. Now in the public, Harvey Weinstein is interviewing reporters in front, with countless cameras facing. He didn't want to faint in such a place.

But it was not easy to just shake his face to get rid of the entanglement of these two guys, and simply turned back and stepped on the high steps in front of the cinema, wanting to hide indoors.

"Mr. APLUS, believe me, now there is a new piece of good news, great news!"

The other party is reluctant, "Do you know? Brazilians like you very much now, your AiSeEuTePego is rushing out of Brazil, and its influence is moving to other Portuguese-speaking countries and even Spanish-speaking countries. It even alarmed Mr. Have you ever heard of it? The FIFA (World Football Confederation) president also inquired yesterday. He asked us if you would like to sing the theme song of the 1998 World Cup! That is the theme song of the world's number one sport! Global influence Power explosion! We, Anschutz and FIFA have a very close cooperation, and so is the Sony Columbia Records where you are located. Your chances are great!"

If you have a chance to sing the theme song of the World Cup, that would be great, but you can’t talk about this kind of thing now, you know?My lord!"Okay, I will let my agent contact them, but I don't buy any football team! Don't mention football to me now! No, wait, just wait! Let's go in and sit down and talk slowly! OK ?"

"buy it!"

The people in Anschutz don’t know what he’s afraid of, and they’re still chattering, “That’s good, if you’re willing to buy the Chicago Fire, no, just inject some equity. It doesn’t need to exceed 50%. We I will give you the right to manage the team, help you fight for the World Cup theme song, etc. I will add another condition. In order to promote the Major League Soccer, we also have a plan to shoot related movies in Hollywood. Of course, it must be limited to Football theme..."

"Ah M-FXXK!"

Feeling a little dizzy, Apocalypse seems to be starting to loosen up, "How come you got involved in the movie again! I said and waited for a chat! Can't understand the human language? Wait a minute, let's go in and talk! Understand!? Staring at the other side and roaring.

"Ok, yes."

The Anschutz people finally shut up.

The trio of leather shoes clapped up the stairs crisply, and climbed to the highest point. The theater gate was close in front of him. Song Ya felt relieved and let out a sigh of relief.

"Seriously, APLUS is a good opportunity. Let me think about our conditions. Football, teams, movies, and World Cup theme songs. Any singer in the world who hears our conditions will wake up with laughter. If not, It’s hard to find someone who blooms more in South America, North America, Hollywood..."

That guy was stubborn, and he couldn't help it, and started nagging, "Huh? What about people?" APLUS who was still in front suddenly disappeared, only to see his bodyguards rushing behind him.

"Shxt!"

Turning his head to see, somehow, APLUS's eyes were closed tightly, and the 1.9-meter strong man rolled all the way down the steps.

The reporters interviewed earlier didn't care about Harvey Weinstein at all, and rushed over, rushing to surround the APLUS bodyguard, the camera shutter brightened like a flash bomb.
