Hollywood Drawing

"...Disney's media will be mobilized to follow up on some of Universal Pictures' actions." Roy Disney's voice came slowly and unhurriedly on the phone.

"I heard that Warner Bros. sent "The Matrix" to the MPAA, right? This film will only be an R-rated film. If necessary, we can give them more time. Also, I will work with Para Ms. Shirley Lansing of Monterey to talk to..."

"That's it."

After getting the desired result, Ron Meyer hung up the phone with satisfaction, leaned on his chair and flipped through the phone book, thinking about who to call next.

As the night passed, the sun climbed into the sky early, and Greater Los Angeles began to become noisy under the scorching sunshine.

Perhaps he indulged too much last night. When he woke up from the sun, Wayne immediately felt a pain in his waist. He let go of the girl who was curled up like a cat in his arms, sat up and saw a messy room.

She got up from the bed and put on her pants, ignoring Jennifer Connelly, who was sleeping so darkly. She shook her head, which was not yet fully awake, and walked to the bathroom to take a shower, hoping to rejuvenate herself as soon as possible.

When the sound of rushing water stopped and Wayne came out wearing a bathrobe and wiping his hair with a towel, he almost felt his blood boil again at the sight in front of him.

Jennifer Connelly was wearing his white shirt, showing off two long white legs. Apart from the shirt, there was no other covering on the whole body. She was picking up the things they threw everywhere last night one by one. clothing.

The girl seemed to feel the fiery gaze behind her. She turned around and said with a smile: "You played so crazy yesterday. I'm protesting all over my body now. Stop making wrong ideas, boy."

"Are you hungry?" Wayne shrugged and sat at the dining table to watch her put away her clothes. "I feel like I'm starving."

"I just ordered breakfast. Wait a moment and the adaptor will bring it to the room..."

"Ding dong."

Before he finished speaking, the doorbell of the room rang. Jennifer Connelly raised her eyebrows at him, raised her finger to point to her shirt, and then pointed to the door, signaling for him to open the door to get breakfast.

"ok."

After refusing the help of the adaption student to push the dining cart into the suite, Wayne put the breakfast on the dining table himself.

"Scrambled eggs, bacon, barley bread, ham, and beef?" He found that he ordered a lot of things, far more than a normal breakfast for two people.

The girl pulled up the chair and sat down, skillfully cutting up the beef and putting it into the bread. "MyGod! Don't look at me like that, I'm starving too."

Although she said this, Jennifer Connelly didn't eat much, maybe not even the amount for a normal person's breakfast. After a while, she lay down on the dining table and patiently watched the man opposite him devouring his food.

No need to ask, Wayne also knows how to maintain his figure. Not only this woman is like this, but also Cameron Diaz, Naomi Watts and others, almost all have the same style.

There are indeed actresses in the industry who can never gain weight no matter how much they eat, but most actresses, in order to maintain a good photogenic effect, have a thinner figure than they do on the big screen.

If you want to become famous, these are all the prices you need to pay by default. The requirements for women in this industry are much higher than those for male actors.

"Can I ask a question?"

Seeing that the beef on his plate was almost gone, Jennifer Connelly picked up the plate of scrambled eggs and helped him add more food with a fork.

Wayne tilted his head and gave her a strange look. While continuing to stuff food into his mouth, he waved his hand to signal her to speak directly.

"Haney, as the top commercial film director in the industry, can you help me come up with some ideas?" The girl knew that the opportunity she had been waiting for had come, and she revealed her long-standing worries without any scruples.

"When I was about 10 years old, I started doing commercial modeling performances in the New York fashion industry because of the influence of my father. From the time I participated in the first TV series in 1979 to now, except for some famous people who are neither big nor small, in this field I've always been cool on the road."

Speaking of this, Jennifer Connelly smiled self-deprecatingly, and it was obvious that she was very aware of the problems she was facing. "The media and fans have been praising me for being beautiful since I was little, and being the dream lover of hundreds of millions of men. However, I have not received more opportunities because of this. In addition to supporting roles, the projects I have participated in are small-scale literary films. Please give me some advice. , okay?!”

Putting down his knife and fork with satisfaction, Wayne took out two tissues and wiped his mouth, looking at the frowning girl amusedly.

From the moment she opened her mouth, she could tell that the other party was testing her, hoping to get more from her, not just giving and receiving.

Perhaps half of what she said was sincere. Many female stars have gone through this period, working hard, and then found that their status, fame, net worth, etc., have not improved at all. This is really frustrating.

But Jennifer Connelly's situation is far from as bad as she said. This woman has never lacked project invitations, which has surpassed more than 80% of actresses in the industry.

"Okay, what do you think?" He raised his wrist to see that it was still early. Wayne lit a cigarette and planned to have a patient chat with the girl.

yes! Jennifer Connelly yelled in her heart, but she still maintained a distressed expression on the surface. "Do you think I can transform and develop towards an acting career? Or should I take on more role-playing roles?"

"Let's put it this way, you do have great talent in acting."

Breathing out a large cloud of green smoke, he looked into the woman's eyes with amusement. "But I still think you don't have to worry and be patient. Your pleasant face and figure are your advantages. There is no need to waste them. Opportunities will always come inadvertently, right?"

After finishing speaking, without waiting for the woman to continue asking questions, he picked up the clothes that the other party had arranged and began to put them on one by one. While putting on the clothes, he said:

"I will recommend you to audition for suitable roles in Warner Bros.'s next big production, so put this expression away and let's get to work, okay?"

"Thanks, dear!"

After checking out of the hotel and getting in the car, Wayne had actually been thinking about whether to release the girl movie "Charlie's Angels" in advance.

How much risk does this involve? It is very uncertain whether it will be accepted by current North American movie fans if it appears a few years in advance.

The two women, Cameron Diaz and Jennifer Connelly, are actually quite suitable for this film, and the Chinese-American Lucy Liu is not an indispensable role. I remember that girl entered Hollywood very early. , he has always been a bit player, and it was not until he participated in this film that he officially became famous.

There wasn't much voice work left for "The Departed," so it was always on his mind.

In fact, writing the script and making a project plan will not take up too much of Wayne's energy. On the contrary, the really important preparations for filming can be left to Warner Brothers.

Today's Hollywood has not started to play with political correctness, and feminist ideas have not officially risen. This is his only concern.

Sometimes movies are completely complementary to the social environment, such as the current production of Wonder Woman, which will definitely be a mess for anyone who shoots it, and there is no second possibility.

Time was still advancing slowly, and until all work on "The Departed" was completed in mid-April and the dailies were sent to Warner Bros., he was still hesitant about the matter.

However, a phone call from Bruce Rosenblum made Wayne temporarily put aside all other thoughts, and hurriedly took his assistant to the CEO's office on the seventh floor of the Warner Bros. Building.

"They regard Warner Bros. as DreamWorks, and several companies are tacitly squeezing us out. Executives close to us from the three major theater companies have all called me. Except for Sony Columbia, the other companies are squeezing us out. Pressure from theaters to reduce The Matrix opening screen, and…”

Bruce Rosenblum said this, deliberately stopping to observe Wayne's face.

"What, just say it."

"Well, the MPAA classification process for "The Matrix" is over, and the film has been classified as an R-rated film."

"Isn't this normal? Our initial plan was that this would be an R-rated movie." Wayne asked curiously. "It is basically impossible for the big scene special effects, explosions and other shots in the film to be rated at PG13 level."

"It's the wrong process, Wayne!"

Jeff Robinov, who had been silent all this time, now explained: "Normally, although MPAA members are kept secret, everyone in the circle knows that the seats inside have always been divided among the six major powers. "The Matrix" When we were graded, there were several other players who were playing tacit understanding.”

If you put it this way, Wayne will understand. "The Matrix" and "The Departed" are okay, but they are positioned as R-rated movies from the beginning. What about other Warner Bros. movies? Whether this will happen again is hard to say.

We can also see from this how difficult it is for DreamWorks to become the seventh giant.

No matter when it comes, it is impossible for other companies to intervene in MPAA. This is the basic market and back garden of the six major companies. Just being stuck in the film rating every time makes DreamWorks' dream full of ups and downs.

So in the next few years, DreamWorks seemed to be developing smoothly. The films it produced not only won high box office, but also won Oscars during the awards season. In fact, it was always strangled by the Big Six, and there was no tacit understanding to suppress them. Not here.

Wayne looked at Jeff Robinoff and asked with a headache: "Will the situation be so bad that it will be like this in every movie?"

"It's impossible to keep doing this. Warner Bros. is not DreamWorks." Jeff Robinov sneered, his voice full of ridicule. "I'm afraid that someone will always be in the middle, otherwise there will be no trust at all between these companies."
