Made in Hollywood

"The craziest thing in the movie business of this century and the most unlikely event in Hollywood has turned into a fact - Duke Rosenberg is going to make a low-budget literary film!"

"We all know that Duke Rosenberg made his name in Hollywood because of his 'rock-shattering' blasting skills and splendid mirror movement skills. Because he is too good at blasting, he has been rumored to be a 'comet strike' The man born at the time of the earth'! Now, the famous director, who has been dubbed the title of Blast Maniac and Duke Nukem, has officially announced that his new work will be adapted from the Broadway musical "Chicago"..."

In the reception room of the mansion, Tom Cruise flipped through several newspapers including the three major newspapers in a row. They were full of reports about Duke Rosenberg and his new movie, occupying almost the vast majority of the space. Headlines on most entertainment pages.

"Penny Kelly and Duke Rosenberg are as good as ever."

Pat Kingsley, who had been talking to Nicole Kidman, turned her head and said to Cruise, "They took advantage of the inherent thinking of the industry and the public to easily set off a wave of public opinion, no matter what the future holds, "Chicago "This film will be remembered by a lot of people."

Closing the papers and putting them aside, Tom Cruise looked up, "Pat, what's the reaction in the circle?"

"Duke's two partners on Saving Private Ryan, Fox and Disney, made it clear that they would not be involved in the project." Kimsley pondered for a while, then added, "Warner is still talking to Nancy Joseph. Sen contact, if not expected, Jeff Robinoff will support Duke."

She looked at Cruise, "Tom, it's time to make a decision."

"Will he make it?" Cruise asked, frowning.

"No one can guarantee the success of a movie." Pat Kingsley shook his head and gave some advice. "For the past four years, Duke has been making films at a rate of one film a year, and "Chicago" won't start shooting until after next year's Oscars, or even longer. more prepared.”

Tom Cruise nodded. Adequate preliminary preparation is the most basic condition for the success of the film.

Kimsley continued, "We've all dealt with him many times, even faintly, a few times. Is he the kind of person who is so arrogant that he gets carried away with so much self-confidence?"

Tom Cruise on this side is still thinking, Nicole Kidman on the other side has already shook his head, "Duke Rosenberg is prepared."

Cruise looked at Nicole Kidman's pale cheeks. The displeasure in his eyes was fleeting.

"It's an adventure."

This is one of the reasons why Tom Cruise has not made up his mind. "The subject matter of the film is really pleasing to the Academy, but..."

"Tom, don't forget, this is just a low-budget literary film." Pat Kingsley very much hopes to have an Oscar-level client under his name. "Even if it fails, it won't hurt your commercial appeal too much, what if it's as successful as Saving Private Ryan?"

Kimsley said unceremoniously, "Tom. You have top business appeal, but you have been criticized for your acting skills. You want to be the top star in Hollywood, you want to surpass Hanks and become a representative of male actors. , business alone is not enough!"

"He has two Oscars. How about you?"

These words seemed to touch Cruise's heart. His brows were wrinkled and his palms slowly clenched into fists. Now Hollywood is talking about the most representative actors, the stars with the highest status and highest pay, and even talking about the Tom's people, most people think of Tom Hanks first, not Tom Cruise!

Hanks can have such a status, and "Saving Private Ryan" with Duke Rosenberg played a huge role.

As his most important client, Pat Kingsley naturally wanted to push Cruise to a higher position, "Tom, I told you before, I want you to be the best actor in Hollywood, to be the best actor in Hollywood. No. 1 Hollywood actor, if you want to catch up and surpass Hanks, you have to make a difference at the Oscars."

Her eyes gleamed, "In my opinion, the reason why Duke Rosenberg chose such an obscure subject was to hit Oscar, but from what I know about him, he couldn't just stay in this small subject. In terms of cost movies, it will definitely return to the mainstream of business in the future, if you can have a good relationship with him..."

Looking directly at Cruise's eyes, Jinsley said in a solemn tone she had never seen before, "Don't tell you that you don't know Duke's ability in business!"

Tom Cruise was still thinking silently, but Nicole Kidman's pale blue eyes kept rolling. She had read the script that Nancy Josephson had sent...

Most importantly, she has a certain dance and singing skills!

"How much are they paying for?" Cruise interrupted Nicole Kidman's thinking, and then heard Pat Kingsley's reply, "$3 million!"

It is impossible for such a small-budget film to offer a salary that is in line with the actor's worth. Nicole Kidman is not surprised by this. Big stars will basically take a pay cut when they appear in such literary and artistic films, and some even appear for free. .

"My bottom line is $5 million!"

Hearing this, Pat Kingsley nodded, and Cruise was fine. She could talk about the salary and so on. What she was most afraid of was that Cruise would miss the opportunity because of the previous disputes. Cooperation with people you like is nothing at all.

After discussing some relevant details, Pat Kingsley said goodbye and left, and Nicole Kidman took the initiative to send her out.

"Pat..."

Walking out of the villa, Kidman finally couldn't hold back, "I read the script..."

"I'll talk to them!"

Seeing Kingsley nodding, Nicole Kidman breathed a sigh of relief. After coming to Hollywood for so many years, she is still a vase attached to Cruise and understands that any opportunity is extremely important.

On the outskirts of Beverly Hills, in a small villa, Naomi Watts is hanging her voice in the garden. This is an essential item every day. The young director who is gradually estranged from her is because of the fire. reason. Only gave her the promise of a heroine, but with the character of the other party, if she is not good enough, she will definitely be given up.

Recently, the news about "Chicago" in the media has been buzzing. Naomi Watts has received the exact news from her agent, Nancy Josephson, that the film is about to begin formal preparations. Auditions will come before all preparations, as Duke has given all actors four to five months of rehearsal time for song and dance.

Will I finally get the role?

In Roxy, she has a natural advantage over others, but Naomi Watts is very clear that if she wants to get this role, she can't solve it with the director. She needs singing, dancing and acting. put in more effort.

After staying in Hollywood for so long, she actually sees very clearly that if her own conditions are not enough, the heavyweight roles in the film will definitely not be obtained by taking off clothes and sleeping with others.

in the West End theatre. Catherine Zeta Jones walked out of the manager's office and returned to the dressing room, turning a blind eye to the various eyes that looked around, and silently packed up her belongings. She is no longer an actress in this drama.

Last week, after receiving an audition invitation from Los Angeles. She desperately quit her current job, and made up her mind to go to Hollywood again, and she would never go back to London if she didn't succeed!

"Just going to audition, Hollywood is competitive. Probably not getting a role."

Catherine Zeta Jones's eyes turned slightly, and the person who spoke was Rachel, who had torn her face with her since last year. Even though this woman pretended to be calm, she could get her from the other party's voice. It can be seen on the face that it is full of various negative emotions such as envy, resentment, and jealousy.

Seemingly noticing Zeta Jones' gaze, Rachel looked over without hesitation, looked at him, and sarcastically said, "Am I right? Even if you climb into Duke Rosenberg's bed , and may not pass the audition!"

Zeta Jones suddenly laughed and said in almost the same tone, "Unfortunately, you won't even have a chance to climb into his bed, Miss Rachel Weisz!"

After she finished speaking, she ignored the group of mentally distorted losers in the dressing room. Holding a cardboard box, she strode out until she walked to the back door of the theater before stopping to get into a car waiting here.

"It's done?"

In the driver's seat was a woman not much older than Zeta Jones. Seeing her nod, she started the car and drove towards Kensington, "Kate, are you ready?"

"I've been preparing for this for half a year!"

This is the agent she just replaced from the United States, Zeta Jones looked straight ahead and said very firmly, "From the day Duke Rosenberg found me, I have been preparing for the audition, I will To win the audition for Velma, I have to succeed! I want to be a Hollywood star, a star that the world is watching!"

"There are a few suggestions," the female agent said in a timely manner, "Want to hear it?"

"Go ahead, Vivian."

"A lot of people don't like Duke Rosenberg's new movie, even me." Vivian turned to look at Zeta Jones, "I know you're hesitant, but Kate, for any Working with Duke Rosenberg is a huge opportunity for an actor who doesn't have a big hit."

Zeta Jones had been watching Vivienne, and she knew there was more to come from the agent.

"I dare not say that Duke Rosenberg can be compared to Spielberg, but saying that he is the most front-row director in Hollywood, I believe no one will refute, even if he occasionally misses, it will not affect the industry in the industry. As long as he returns to the mainstream of business, there will be countless production companies that want to pay for his films."

The car stopped at the red light, and the female agent turned to look at Zeta Jones, "Kate, do you know what this means to you?"

Before she could answer, Vivian said, "As long as you can have a good relationship with Duke Rosenberg and win his favor, you will have countless opportunities in the future."

"I know what to do!"

Compared to getting a role, if she can conquer a big Hollywood director, it seems to be more beneficial to her? (To be continued ~^~)
