Just after seeing Gail gado off, Murphy received a phone call from Bill rosis. A private film fund, which was set up some time ago, heard the financing news of the project specially released by CAA, and just contacted him. He wanted to make an appointment with his director and project planner.
Of course, Murphy won't refuse to let bill rosis fix the time and place of the meeting as soon as possible.
After several phone calls, nearly an hour later, Murphy and the person in charge of the film private equity firm decided to meet in Century City in the afternoon.
Among them, the active contact of bill rosis played an important role, and CAA's work efficiency has always been known for its high efficiency.
After that, Murphy calls Gail gado again. She's on roddell street, having coffee with Natalie Portman.
In a cafe on roddell street, Gail gado buckled his cell phone.
Natalie Portman, sitting opposite, turned her eyes away from the script and looked to Gail gado, "Murphy"
"well," Gail gado nodded gently, "he's going to talk about investment with the head of a private equity fund in the afternoon. Let me go back in the evening."
"Just right." Natalie Portman laughed and said fondly, "we haven't seen each other for a long time. We can hang out a little longer."
Gail gado pointed to the outside of the cafe, "if there are not so many paparazzi to follow."
"As the girlfriend of a popular director." Natalie Portman deliberately said, "you're not used to it yet"
"probably never will." Gail gado shrugged.
"It's just a long time." After taking a sip of coffee, Natalie Portman changed the subject, pointed to the script that Gail gado had brought, and asked, "you just said that Murphy went to see the investors, it's this project"
"it's it." Gail gado raised an arm and chin. "This is Murphy's new project. He plans to start filming before the end of the year."
"Murphy is a really thoughtful director." Natalie Portman muttered.
Gail gado didn't quite understand her meaning. He looked at the other side in doubt.
Natalie Portman picked up the script and shook it in front of Gail gado. "Don't you think the settings in it are very wonderful, especially the heroine"
"I just saw the beginning." Gail gado shrugged slightly, "such a story is too dark, I don't like it very much, so I don't continue to look down."
She asked curiously, "Murphy's plays tend to be dark, and the lost lover is really as good as you said"
Natalie Portman is obviously very interested in the play, saying, "it's a play involving marriage, emotion, media, justice, class and cultural differences, and there are many problems worth discussing."
Galgado looked at Natalie Portman and said, "isn't this a dark love story"
"is this really a love story?" Natalie immediately gave the answer, "yes, but not really. It's not so much a love story as a woman's story, a story of women's self growth, destruction and reconstruction. "
"Everyone has seen this play, and it is estimated that few people like the heroine. Although she is wearing the halo of Harvard, omnipotent, excellent and even beautiful goddess, her arrogant, paranoid, neurotic and crazy to morbid personality makes people shy away. She feels chilly and secretly prays to let such a madman stay away from his own life."
It seems that she is completely attracted by this role. Natalie Portman closes her eyes. If she plays the role herself, how should amy be portrayed? This role will be disgusting, but it will produce incomparable attraction, especially the contrast between before and after. She needs explosive force in performance. As long as the level of director and actor is guaranteed, the role will naturally make people uncomfortable Often very brilliant.
Isn't that what she has been looking for? Isn't it what the old men of the Academy of film arts and sciences like?
the most important thing is Amy's role setting, which is similar to her
thinking of this, Natalie Portman gently nodded her head. If she plays Amy, she just needs to release her heart and perform naturally It's OK. This kind of performance is also the easiest to be brilliant. As long as the director doesn't make too many mistakes, she can even leave a classic role.
Is the level of director guaranteed? Natalie Portman has seen several films of the other party, read reports about him from the media, and her agent Martin Miller has always been optimistic about him
all these can make her form a very clear judgment.
Natalie Portman suddenly lost her mind. Gail gado gradually saw something, but she didn't pay much attention to it. From the media reports and Murphy's mouth, she also heard some excellent actors with pursuit. When she met her favorite role, her performance would be quite surprising.
After a while, seeing Natalie Portman open her eyes, galgado looks at her and asks, "you're very interested in the heroine"
"well." Natalie Portman nodded, "this is the most brilliant role I've ever seen since playing Padme Amidala."She closed her eyes again. "This is a woman who lives in her own world. She is beautiful and charming. She has a high education and a good family background. She has the perfect conditions in other people's eyes. She has a clear judgment of herself, which makes her believe that even if she doesn't have to go through it, this kind of talk from others, such as marriage is to compromise with each other, work hard, then work harder, communicate and compromise, and then do another round of business, can become the preconceived motto of her marriage life. "
Gail gado only read the beginning of the script, the others are not very clear, but in this case, he is still a qualified audience.
Natalie Portman went on to say to herself, "this kind of woman has the ability to convince herself of something that doesn't exist by constantly repeating and strengthening it in her consciousness, and make it a reality through infinite imagination and concrete practice. The only purpose of her doing this is to retaliate, and this kind of retaliation comes from her inner uneasiness and undeniable jealousy. Moreover, when she makes some sacrifices against her own will, it will further stimulate her ability to reach the explosion point. At the same time, she will gradually find her original self in the process
Just looking at the script, the role strongly aroused her emotional resonance. Those emotions that were concealed in the deepest part by public relations, publicity, acting and affectation in the past had a strong resonance with Amy.
She suddenly felt that with her ability and the setting of the role, she could even impact the little golden man
"Gail" Natalie Portman opened her eyes, her just fluctuating mood was instantly calm, and she returned to the state of intelligence, wisdom, beauty, generosity and kindness, "can you help me make an appointment with Murphy"
her William Morris Company The CAA where Murphy Stanton is located is a direct competitor, and the agent Martin Miller seems to have some misunderstanding with Murphy Stanton. Taking the agent route is definitely not the best choice.
However, Natalie Portman glanced at Gail gado without any trace. She knew the little girl in Jerusalem, but she didn't think it was useful.
"About Murphy" Gail gado slightly frowned, "you are"
Natalie Portman didn't hesitate. She seemed very straightforward to her friends, as if she had no reservation at all. She said very directly, "I like the role of Amy, I want to play the role of Amy."
With that, her eyes are big and round, just like facing Marion's Matilda, looking forward to Gail gado.
But her brain is turning fast. This girl from Israel is her admirer and regards her as a very good friend. She is young and inexperienced. Although she is precocious and smart, she is a standard stupid girl compared with herself.
Natalie Portman is confident that Gail gado will agree next second, and will help herself to win the role.
"sorry, NAT." With an apologetic smile on his face, galgado said, "if it's about the character, I can't help you."
"Er" Natalie Portman was slightly stunned.
What's the matter? How did she refuse herself? Why did she refuse herself?
Gail gado doesn't seem to have any change with her just now. She seems to be a stupid girl who adores and likes the Jewish actress opposite. She just says something in her mouth, but she doesn't mean to help Natalie Portman.
"Murphy doesn't like interference in his work." Gail gado sighed, a look of regret, "I am no exception, he will show me what he wrote or photographed, but never like to listen to my advice."
These words are the same as the truth.
Natalie Portman, after all, was Natalie Portman. She was just stunned and came back to herself.
"It doesn't matter." She went back to her perfect appearance, "I'm negligent, and I can't because of this"
she suddenly accentuated a little, "this trivial matter affects the deep feelings between you."
Gail gado's hand under the table suddenly grabs the handbag on the next chair. He has the impulse to grab the bag and turn around. He sighs in his heart that he is still too stupid and naive compared with Murphy, a cunning old fox.
I'm afraid the woman opposite didn't treat her as a friend at all. Maybe she was a friend before, but when she refused, the so-called friendship had been thrown away.
She just said this, what is a trivial matter, what is the impact of deep feelings, really think of themselves as a fool, not to be continued.
