Chapter 88 Someone you can’t afford to offend

Manhattan.

Advertising studio.

Halftime.

Leonardo Dicaprio sat in the nanny car, letting the makeup artist next to him work on his face and touch up his makeup.

After the makeup artist finished his work, he looked in the mirror and felt that he had recovered quite well and his skin was much better than before.

Some time ago, he participated in the filming of the movie "Blood Diamond".

As the name suggests, this movie is about diamonds.

According to the director, the reason for making this film was because of the evil profit chain of diamonds that has caused oppression to the African people.

The director hopes that through this film, the American people will understand the distant African continent and remember the hardships and difficulties faced by the African people.

Of course, Leonardo didn't care how those black people were doing.

He agreed to take part in the film mainly because he was attracted by the film's artistic and ethnic attributes, hoping to win an Oscar through it.

There's no way around it; this has become his obsession.

At the Academy Awards ceremony that year, "Titanic" received fourteen Oscar nominations and ultimately won eleven awards.

Best Director, Best Editing, Best Cinematography, Best Art Direction...

I won’t say more about these.

Even the film soundtrack won the award for Best Original Music.

But the leading actor in this movie not only did not win the Best Actor award, he didn't even get a nomination.

If he didn't get nominated, he would feel more balanced.

But the movie's leading actress Kate Winslet was nominated, and she is one year younger than him.

Before, he could comfort himself by saying that he was young and that he would have opportunities in the future.

But now with the example of Kate Winslet, he really can't deceive himself.

In a fit of anger, the young and energetic him simply did not attend the event and went to a restaurant in New York to enjoy a delicious meal.

Thinking about it now, what he did seemed a bit inappropriate and inevitably offended some people.

The reason why he has not won any Oscars in all these years is probably because of this incident.

However, that was all in the past, and there was no point regretting it now.

In order to win the favor of the Oscars, he deliberately broke away from his previous style and starred in the movie "Blood Diamond" regardless of his own image.

In order to achieve authenticity, the director chose South Africa as the filming location, which caused the actors to suffer for a while.

Of course, South Africa is not without its advantages. There are many beautiful women there and they are very enthusiastic, which left a deep impression on him.

As for why he suddenly thought of this, it was mainly because of the heroine of today's commercial.

Turning around, Leonardo looked at his agent and suddenly spoke.

"What's the name of that heroine? Oh, yes, I think her name is Candice. Please help me communicate with her and tell her that I want to treat her to dinner tonight."

The agent listened and shook his head.

This client of his has fallen into his old habit again.

With fair skin, beautiful looks and long legs, all Americans know Leonardo's taste.

The heroine of this commercial meets all these requirements and happens to be a blonde supermodel.

It's a double attraction, no wonder Leonardo was attracted to it.

If it were any other time, he wouldn't mind doing the client this favor.

After all, he had done such things as "matchmaking" many times before.

But today is different.

Today, the heroine will not allow her client to do whatever he wants.

"Forget it, Leonardo, that girl already has a boyfriend."

"What's wrong with having a boyfriend?"

Leonardo didn't take it seriously, "I have a girlfriend, what should I be afraid of?"

His current girlfriend is someone he met while filming the movie "Blood Diamond", and they have not been dating for long.

But this is the entertainment industry.

In fact, boyfriends and girlfriends are just like that, there is no need to take it to heart.

As long as they are not photographed by the paparazzi, everyone can play however they want, and it doesn't matter if they take turns. "Don't be stupid, that guy's boyfriend is not an ordinary person, we can't afford to offend him."

Seeing his agent's seriousness, Leonardo also became serious.

"Not an ordinary person? Could it be some famous director?"

"No."

"Which film company's producer is that?"

"Not at all."

"Who is that big shot in the film industry?"

Leonardo was confused. It wasn't this, and it wasn't that. Who was that Candice's boyfriend? Why would he be such a headache for his agent?
Agent: "Neither. He has nothing to do with the film industry. You know the theme of this commercial. Tommy Vercetti, the owner of this Krusty Krab hamburger restaurant, is Candice's boyfriend."

"Hey, that's it."

Leonardo breathed a sigh of relief.

He thought it was nothing else, just a small hamburger shop owner.

At most he has some money, what is there that he can't afford to offend?
"Hey, don't underestimate the Krusty Krab. This is not an ordinary burger restaurant."

Just by looking at his expression, the agent knew what his client was thinking and quickly persuaded him.
“You’ve been in South Africa for too long, so you don’t know the news in New York. This Krusty Krab hamburger restaurant is now the most famous restaurant in New York, no, it should be the most famous restaurant in the entire United States.

Many celebrities and politicians dine here, and even the owner of the White House came here last month and praised the burgers very much. "

"Really, is there such a thing?"

Leonardo was a little surprised.

Is the world so magical that the president of a great country would stand up for a small hamburger restaurant?
Before he could absorb all the information, his agent dropped another bombshell.

"You remember Sean Combs, the P. Diddy?"

"of course I remember."

When Leonardo heard the name, the expression on his face became a little strange, as if ants were crawling all over his body, and he twisted his body uncomfortably.

"Why are you mentioning him? Isn't that guy dead?"

When he saw the news in the newspaper that day, he was so happy that he drank several large glasses of wine. He was even happier than if he had won an Oscar.

But why did the agent bring this up?

What is the relationship between this P. Diddy and Candice’s boyfriend?

"I'm telling you, don't tell anyone."

As if worried that someone was eavesdropping, the agent opened the car door and looked outside. After confirming that there was no one around, he closed and locked the door again, then leaned in and spoke mysteriously.

“I heard that before the Krusty Krab opened, Puff Daddy was invited to promote the restaurant, but he had a conflict with Vercetti because he flirted with Candice.

Nothing happened at that time, P. Diddy was just asked to leave the stage.

But a few days later, he was found dead in his apartment.

Although the autopsy report given by the police was a drug overdose, the truth of the matter is, haha."

The agent didn't say anything else, but Leonardo already understood what he meant.

"If that's the case, we really can't afford to offend."

He felt a little scared.

Like P. Diddy, didn’t he also have his eyes on Candice?

If his agent hadn't warned him, he would have gone after her and gotten involved, and he might have ended up like P. Diddy.

The intermission is over.

The filming of the commercial resumed.

The staff on the scene found that Leonardo suddenly became much more cooperative, doing almost whatever the director said, and did not act like a big shot at all.

Especially Leonardo's attitude towards Candice became more polite.

It's really confusing.

However, since the biggest star Leonardo is willing to cooperate, others dare not act rashly.

It didn't take long to complete the commercial, even faster than planned.

The director was also amazed by this, feeling that this was the most enjoyable commercial he had ever shot. It would be great if future work could be like this one.

Just at this moment, a red Ferrari came speeding on the street outside and finally stopped at the door of the studio.

Immediately afterwards, a tall and mighty man in a suit and tie walked down and appeared in the public eye.
