Simon made a wait gesture to Valerie Golino, picked up the microphone and said, "Joe, what's the matter?"

On the other side of the phone, Jonathan Friedman had heard the news that Daenerys Pictures had conducted a surprise drug test on the last ten candidates for the "Batman" actor, and called to help intercede.

After listening to Jonathan Friedman patiently, Simon's tone did not have much room for negotiation, and said: "Joe, before the casting started, Daenerys Pictures has specially reminded that if they are casting Jiao can't keep themselves clean during this period of time, I really don't think there is any reason to give them a chance... I know this kind of thing is very common in Hollywood, but this is the world, those who have already made a name for themselves can be directly It’s easy to go back and forth between the Telford Rehabilitation Center and the movie set, and you can shoot drug treatment public service advertisements until you can’t let go. ...Valerie, she's here, sitting across from me... Then, if you're free to chat, bye."

Hanging up the phone, Simon looked at Valerie Golino opposite.

The Italian actress with beautiful curly hair and cat-like eyes is only 22 years old this year, but her acting resume is anything but simple. Two years ago, Valerie Golino won the Best Actress Award at the 43rd Venice Film Festival for her Italian film "Love Story".

However, in the original time and space, apart from the heroine of "Rain Man", Valerie Golino has not appeared in other too well-known films, even her famous work "Love Story" is only a very low-known film. Art films.

Simon also has some gossip about Valerie Golino and Julia Roberts competing for the lead role in Pretty Woman, with her and Roberts being the final two candidates. The reason why the actress was rejected is because her accent is not standard enough, and more inside information is not known.

Because of the poor development in Hollywood, the actress with a high starting point later returned to the European film circle like many European actresses who failed to enter Hollywood.

Opposite the desk, Valerie Golino pressed the satchel on her knees with both hands, patiently waiting for the young man opposite to look at herself for a moment, then said softly, "Mr. "

Simon didn't answer, just asked, "Have you seen Batman?"

Suddenly receiving an invitation from Simon Westeros, the agent and Jonathan Friedman, the vice president of the company who is close to Westeros, do not know the reason, Valerie Golino has just been very uneasy.

After coming to Hollywood for more than a year, Valerie Golino didn't get a lot of film contracts, but she heard a lot of gossip. There are many bigwigs in the circle who like an actress who likes to negotiate jobs and participate in parties. Reasons like that are summoned to the side, and then certain things come naturally. She just recently starred in Rain Man, and Simon Westeros is said to be watching it every week, and he must have noticed himself in the process.

However, after receiving this invitation, Valerie Golino rushed over after hesitating for a while.

In any case, men like beautiful women, and women like beautiful men too. Simon Westeros, such a handsome, talented, and young man, really can't arouse any objection from women.

Hearing Simon Westeros mentioning "Batman", Valerie Golino's originally uneasy mood was immediately put down.

It turned out that something was really right.

It's something the whole of Hollywood is looking forward to.

However, inexplicably, there were some emotions in my heart that I didn't know whether it was disappointment or something else.

After being stunned for a moment, she felt Simon Westeros patiently looking at her eyes, Valerie Golino quickly reacted, shook her head honestly, and said, "Sorry, Mr. Westeros, I didn't I watched Batman and I grew up in Italy."

Simon just nodded and asked again, "Do you have any other film contracts with you now?"

Valerie Golino remembered the heroine role of the drama "Rapid Spring", which Polish director Jez Skolimovski had been preparing for two years. She hesitated for a moment, then shook her head decisively. , said: "No."

"It's like this," Simon said without further questioning, "I saw your performance in "Rain Man", as well as the performance material in your previous films. It was very good. So, I want to invite you What do you think of being the heroine of Batman?"

Valerie Golino recalled Daenerys Film's sizable "Batman" male lead audition, and subconsciously asked, "Don't you need an audition?"

"As I said, I have seen your performance."

"Then, Mr. Westeros," asked Valerie Golino again, "what part shall I play?"

"Catwoman," Simon said, "you know what?"

As a popular anti-hero female character who appeared in the first issue of "Batman" that year, although she has not read the comics, Valerie Golino has heard of some. After carefully recalling the information about Catwoman, Valerie Golino nodded and said, "Selena Kyle."

"Yes, Selena Kyle," Simon nodded and said, "If you plan to play this role, you can read some comics next. However, the information about the origin of Catwoman's character in DC comics is very confusing, So, in the end, you still have to figure out the character based on my script."

The development of Hollywood, where European actresses are very exclusive in their bones, is not easy. Valerie Golino recalled the young man's miraculous directing resume, and no longer hesitated, saying: "Mr. Westeros, what's next? ?"

Simon smiled and said, "Do you know why I chose you?"

Valerie Golino was stunned and shook her head.

"Your acting is good enough, this is very important, because the Selena Kyle I want, it is difficult for ordinary vase actresses to play well. I only confirmed that after watching the samples of "Rain Man" repeatedly You came to try the role because you were younger than Cruise and Hoffman, but in the dailies, you showed an almost maternal soothing power, and you were able to make two restless protagonists both Calm down. Bruce Wayne in "Batman" is a character who has experienced childhood trauma. Although he is very strong, he is only a human after all. He will also be hurt in the process of fighting against sin, and he needs to be appeased. So, I hope you can carry over that sentiment from Rain Man when you cast your Catwoman character."

After Simon finished speaking, he looked again at Valerie Golino, who was still full of girlishness on his face, and said: "Besides, you are only twenty-two years old, which is also very important, Selena Kyle is An athletic female thief, in the comics, she has a background in gymnastics and is proficient in fighting. To play this role, the actor must receive a certain level of physical fitness and fighting training. In this regard, older actresses are often very It's hard to bear, but it's not a big problem for you, of course, this process will definitely be very hard, are you willing?"

Valerie Golino didn't hesitate. She nodded her head a few times as if the chicken was pecking at rice, realizing that her reaction seemed too eager, and she felt a little embarrassed.

Simon naturally wouldn't mind, and continued: "Although I like your accent very much, it is difficult for North American audiences to accept Catwoman's Italian accent when speaking. So, in the next six months, in addition to physical training, you also Accent lessons are required."

Valerie Golino showed an unexpected expression this time: "Half a year?"

"Yes, half a year," Simon nodded and said, "That's what I'm going to say right away. If you agree to act, we'll sign the contract before the end of the month, and then, for the next year, you probably won't be able to take other jobs. Film appointment."

Hollywood spends one or two years for a role everywhere, and Valerie Golino quickly realized that the heroine of Simon Westero's new film is completely worth the effort, and she is not in Hollywood. There may be other better options.

"No problem, Mr. Westeros," after figuring this out, Valerie Golino nodded quickly and said, "Can I read the script first?"

"The script is still being revised, and, for absolute confidentiality, even the male protagonist will not see the full script before filming starts," Simon shook his head and refused: "It's not that I don't trust you, but in this circle, always There will be people who want to get similar revelations by any means, and it is very difficult for you to guard against."

Valerie Golino showed an understanding expression, and then she didn't know what to say. She looked at Simon with light-colored eyes, and then suddenly avoided it. She actually wanted to ask about the salary, but she also knew that it would be best for her agent to negotiate with her.

Simon noticed the change in Valerie Golino's expression, and just smiled and said, "That's it for now, we will contact wma for the next thing, you can go back first."

Valerie Golino got up, came over politely, shook hands with Simon again, and turned to leave the office. When she came to the parking lot, she still felt like she was dreaming.

The heroine of Simon Westeros' new movie is still a super big production like "Batman".

It was so easy to get.

The actresses in the company who always mocked their outsider status must be crazy with jealousy.

Feeling some kind of uncontrollable excitement all over her body, Valerie Golino didn't get into the car immediately, went to a nearby phone booth and dialed a series of numbers.

It was past get off work hours on the east coast, and the phone was transferred at a Manhattan hotel and reached the agent smoothly.

When the agent far away on the east coast heard what she had just said, he was obviously overexcited and told her to stay where she was. He flew back from New York right away.

After hanging up the phone, Valerie Golino's excitement calmed down a little, but she couldn't help thinking of the situation she had just met with Simon Westeros.

Unexplainably regretful.

He said he liked his accent, but he said nothing else.

What an incredible guy.

Simon has been so busy during this time that he has no time for other thoughts. After the meeting with Valerie Golino, he rushed to the Daenerys special effects company, which had just been reorganized and integrated by the two companies.

There were still important arrangements in the evening. At around 5:30, Simon returned to his mansion in Malibu.

In the villa, Simon shouted a few times after entering the door, but got no response. After searching for a while, he found Janet in the seaside painting room of the villa. The woman is attentively standing by the easel and depicting a new work.

On the canvas is a beautiful blue sea and blue sky, a bit like the Malibu seascape outside the floor-to-ceiling windows at this time. However, a long spiral staircase appeared between the sea and the sky. On the narrow staircase, all kinds of strange figures were climbing upwards, while others were diving downwards. Down the stairs.

Janet has experimented with many genres of art, but her favorite is this grotesque and eerie surreal

This is probably the reason for her character.

Simon stood quietly behind the woman without disturbing him, and Janet didn't say hello to him. After more than ten minutes of such silence, the woman stopped painting and turned to ask Simon, "How is it?"

Simon stepped forward and put his arms around the woman's waist, looked at the painting in front of him and said, "There is a deep-rooted ambivalence among human beings. People in hell look forward to heaven, and people in heaven think that hell may be good, so most people They all spend their time on the road, at the cost of smashing their bodies to pieces.”

Janet smiled and pecked Simon's face sideways, then took off his embrace and said, "please help me pack up, I'll change my clothes."

Because of her rich net worth, Janet has always been the kind of character who resolutely enjoys life. She originally had the idea of ​​selling some paintings to earn living expenses. After she was with Simon, she gradually lost this kind of thought and just regarded it as an interest. The woman is now mainly responsible for taking care of the Simon \u0026 Janet Westeros Foundation established by the two and acting as a housekeeper for Simon's various purchases.

In the evening, I will attend the media preview of "Instinct".

There is still a month before the film is released, and it is usually a bit early to hold a preview at this time. However, the launch strategy Daenerys and Fox ultimately discussed was to use Instinct's intense controversy to provoke public attention and interest in the film.

In the original time and space, "Instinct" first appeared at the Cannes Film Festival and caused a strong controversy. But this time, the film was not completed before Cannes, and everyone could only take this kind of advance test screening. Fox specially invited a large number of well-known film critics from the east and west coasts of the United States to come to Los Angeles to participate in this test screening. How close is the Cannes premiere.

The screening starts at seven o'clock.

Since Daenerys Pictures owns half of the rights to "Instinct", Simon is more serious about the film than the "Pulp Fiction" that is currently in theaters.

With no plans to change clothes, Simon helped Janet pack up the painting tools and left the studio.

Janet quickly changed into a close-fitting pale pink dress, with a string of pearl necklaces just right around her fair neck, white high-heeled shoes on her feet, and a Kun bag in her hand. After coming out of the cloakroom, the woman handed a folder to Simon and said, "The investigative report of the detective company on Sophia Fisher was delivered just this afternoon. An interesting woman, you can watch it on the road."
