Hollywood Road

As soon as Gail Gadot was sent away, Murphy received a call from Bill Rossis. There was a film private equity fund that was established some time ago. After hearing about the financing of this project specially released by CAA, he just contacted. He is interested in investing in "The Lost Lover" and would like to meet him as a director and project planner.

Of course Murphy will not refuse, letting Bill Rossis and the other party as soon as possible to finalize the time and place to meet.

After several telephone conversations, nearly an hour later, Murphy and the head of the film private equity fund decided to meet in Century City in the afternoon.

Among them, the active contact of Bill Rossis played an important role, and the efficiency of CAA has always been known for its high efficiency.

Afterwards, Murphy hung up another phone call to Gal Gadot. She had reached Rodel Street and was drinking coffee with Natalie Portman.

In a cafe on Rodel Street, Gal Gadot buttoned his phone.

Natalie Portman, who was sitting opposite, left the script in her hand and turned to Gael Gadot, "Murphy?"

"Um..." Gal Gadot nodded slightly, "He will talk to the head of a private equity fund in the afternoon about investment, and I will go back in the evening."

"It's just right." Natalie Portman laughed and said affectionately, "We haven't seen each other for a long time, so we can go shopping a little longer."

Gal Gadot pointed to the outside of the cafe, "The premise is that there are not so many paparazzi following."

"As the girlfriend of a popular director." Natalie Portman said deliberately, "Are you not used to it yet?"

"I will never get used to it." Gal Gadot shrugged.

"It will be better after a long time." Taking a sip of coffee, Natalie Portman turned the subject, pointed to the script that Gal Gadot had brought, and asked, "You just said Murphy went to See investors, is this project?"

"That's it." Gal Gadot propped an arm and put his chin on, "This is Murphy's new project. He plans to start preparing for the shooting before the end of this year."

"Murphy is really a very thoughtful director." Natalie Portman murmured.

Gal Gadot didn't quite understand what she meant, and looked at the opposite side suspiciously.

Natalie Portman picked up the script and shook it in front of Gal Gadot, "Don't you think the setting inside is very strange? Especially the heroine..."

"I just saw the beginning." Gal Gadot shrugged slightly, "This kind of story is too dark, I don't like it very much, so I didn't continue to look down."

She asked curiously, "Murphy's scripts tend to be darkened. Is this "The Lost Lover" really as good as you said?"

Natalie Portman is obviously very interested in this script, saying, "This is a script involving marriage, relationship, media, justice, class and cultural differences, etc., and there are many issues worth discussing in it."

Gal Gadot looked at Natalie Portman who was beaming and said, "Isn't this just a dark love story?"

"Is this really a love story?" Natalie gave the answer immediately, "Yes, but not at all. It is not so much a love story, it is better to say it is a female story-telling a female self-growth , The story of destruction and reconstruction."

"Everyone has read this script. It is estimated that very few people like the heroine. Although she wears the halo of Harvard, almighty, excellent and even beautiful goddess, her arrogant, paranoid, neurotic, and morbid personality makes people He was discouraged, with a chill in his heart, and secretly prayed that such a lunatic would stay away from his life."

As if completely attracted by this role, Natalie Portman closed her eyes. If she played her role, how should Amy be portrayed? This role will be disgusting, but it will produce incomparable attractiveness, especially the contrast between the front and the back, and it is extremely explosive in performance. As long as the director and actors have a guaranteed level, the role will naturally make people very, very brilliant.

Isn't this kind of role that is easy to shine, but not very normal, is what she has been looking for? Isn’t it what the old guys at the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences like?

The most important thing is Amy's character setting, which is similar to her...

Thinking of this, Natalie Portman nodded lightly. If she plays Amy, she only needs to release her heart and perform with her true colors. This kind of performance is also the easiest to shine. As long as the director does not make too many mistakes, she Can even leave a classic role.

Is the director's level guaranteed? Natalie Portman has watched several movies of the other party, and read reports about him from the media, and his agent Martin Miller has always been very optimistic about him...

These can allow her to form a very clear judgment.

Natalie Portman was suddenly in a trance, Gal Gadot gradually saw something, but she didn't care much. She also heard some outstanding and aspiring actors from media reports and Murphy's mouth. When encountering a favorite character, the performance is often quite surprising.

After a while, seeing Natalie Portman open her eyes, Gal Gadot looked at her and asked, "Are you interested in the heroine?"

"Yeah." Natalie Portman nodded unabashedly, "This is the most brilliant role I have seen since I played Padmé Amidala."

She closed her eyes again, "This is a woman who lives in her own world. She is beautiful and charming, with a high degree of education and a good family background. She has perfect conditions in the eyes of others. She has a clear judgment of herself that makes her believe Even if you don’t have to go through it, this kind of remarks such as “marriage is to compromise with each other, work hard, and then work harder, communicate and compromise, and then have another round of management” can become her preconceived marriage life. motto."

Gal Gadot has only seen the beginning of the script, the others are not very clear at all, but in this case, he is still a good listener.

Natalie Portman continued self-consciously, “This kind of woman has the ability to convince herself of things that don’t exist by repeating and strengthening them in her consciousness, and make them through infinite imagination and concrete practice. Become a certain fact. The only purpose of her doing this is to retaliate, and this retaliation stems from inner anxiety and undeniable jealousy. Moreover, when she makes some sacrifices that go against her own will, it will even more inspire her. Her ability reached the explosive point, and at the same time, she gradually recovered her original self in the process."

Just looking at the script, this role strongly aroused her emotional resonance. Those emotions that were hidden in the deepest part by public relations, publicity, performances, and affectation in the past have a strong resonance with Amy.

She suddenly felt that with her own abilities and the setting of this role, she could even hit that little golden man!

"Gail!" Natalie Portman opened her eyes, and the emotions that had just fluctuated calmed down instantly, and she returned to the state of being smart, wise, beautiful, generous and kind. "Can you help me make an appointment with Murphy? ?"

Her company, William Morris, and Murphy Stanton’s CAA are direct competitors, and there seems to be some misunderstanding between the agent Martin Miller and Murphy Stanton. It’s certainly not the best way to follow the agent’s route. s Choice.

But... Natalie Portman glanced at Gal Gadot without a trace. The little girl I met in Jerusalem didn't expect it to be useful.

"About Murphy?" Gal Gadot frowned insignificantly. "You are..."

Natalie Portman did not hesitate. She seemed very straightforward to her friends, as if she had no reservations. She said very directly, "I like the role of Amy, and I want to play the role of Amy."

After speaking, her eyes opened wide and round, like Matilda facing Leon, looking at Gal Gadot expectantly.

But her mind 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 a little clever, compared with herself, She is a standard stupid girl.

Natalie Portman is confident, she believes that Gal Gadot will agree in the next second, and will take the initiative to help herself and win this role...

"Sorry, Nat." Gal Gadot smiled apologetically, "If it's a character problem, I can't help you."

"Uh..." Natalie Portman was taken aback for a moment.

How is this going? Why did she reject herself? Why would you reject yourself?

Gal Gadot does not seem to have changed anything from just now. It seems that she is still a stupid girl who admires and likes the Jewish actress on the opposite side. She just says something in her mouth, but she has no plans to help Natalie Portman. the meaning of.

"Murphy doesn't like other people interfering with his work." Gal Gadot sighed with regret, "I am no exception. He will show me what he wrote or photographed, but he never I don’t like to listen to my suggestions."

These words say the same as they really are.

Natalie Portman is Natalie Portman after all, but she was taken aback and recovered.

"It's okay." She returned to her perfect appearance, "I was negligent. I can't do it because of this..."

She suddenly increased her tone, "This kind of trivial matter affects the deep feelings between you."

Gal Gadot's hand hanging under the table suddenly grabbed the handbag on the chair next to him. There was an urge to grab the bag and turn around and leave. He also sighed inwardly, comparing himself to Murphy, a cunning old fox. , Still too stupid and naive.

I'm afraid the woman opposite doesn't treat her as a friend at all, right? Maybe she was a friend before, but when she refused, the so-called friendship had been thrown away by the other party.

She just said such a thing, what is a trivial matter? What is a deep affection? Do you really think of yourself as an idiot?
