Hollywood Road

As soon as Gal Gadot was sent away, Murphy received a call from Bill Rosses. There is a film private equity fund that was established some time ago. Hearing the financing news of this project released by CAA, he just contacted He intends to invest in "The Lost Lover" and wants to meet him, the director and project planner. ≧ 1 novel ﹤≦≦≤≦≤\u003c\u003c≦≦≦≦\u003c

Of course, Murphy would not refuse, and asked Bill Ross to finalize the time and place to meet with the other party as soon as possible.

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

Among them, Bill Ross's active contact played an important role, and CAA's work efficiency has always been known for its high efficiency.

Afterwards, Murphy hung up another call to Gal Gadot. She had arrived on Rodell Avenue and was drinking coffee with Natalie Portman.

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

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

"Hmm..." Gal Gadot nodded lightly, "He's going to talk to the head of a private equity fund about investment in the afternoon, so let me go back in the evening."

"Just right." Natalie Portman laughed and said affectionately, "We haven't seen each other for a long time, we can go shopping for a while."

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 intentionally, "Aren't you used to it yet?"

"I guess I'll never get used to it." Gal Gadot shrugged.

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

"That's it." Gal Gadot propped up an arm and raised his chin, "This is Murphy's new project, and he plans to start filming before the end of this year."

"Murphy is really a director with great ideas." Natalie Portman muttered.

Gal Gadot didn't quite understand what she meant, and looked across in doubt.

Natalie Portman picked up the script,

Shaking in front of Gal Gadot, "Don't you think the setting inside is very wonderful? Especially the heroine..."

"I just read 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 read it."

She asked curiously, "Murphy's scripts tend to be dark. Is this "Gone Girl" really as good as you said?"

Natalie Portman is obviously very interested in this script, saying, "This is a script involving multiple levels such as marriage, relationship, media, justice, class and cultural differences, etc. There are many issues worth exploring in it."

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

"Is this really a love story?" Natalie immediately gave the answer, "Yes, but not necessarily. It is not so much a love story as it is a female story - about a woman's self-development , a story of destruction and rebuilding."

"Everyone has read this script, and it is estimated that there are very few people who like the heroine. Although she is a goddess of Harvard, omnipotent, excellent and even beautiful, her arrogant, paranoid, neurotic, and crazy to morbid character makes people I was discouraged, felt a chill in my heart, and secretly prayed that such a lunatic would stay away from my life."

Seemingly completely attracted by this role, Natalie Portman closed her eyes. If she played the role by herself, how should the role of Amy be portrayed? This role will be disgusting, but it will also produce incomparable attraction, especially the contrast between the front and the back. In terms of performance, explosive power is extremely needed. As long as the director and actors are guaranteed, the role will naturally make people very, very brilliant.

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

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

Thinking of this, Natalie Portman nodded slightly. If she plays Amy, she just needs to release her heart and perform in 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 Even a classic character can be left behind.

Is the level of the director guaranteed? Natalie Portman has seen several of the other's movies, and has read about him in the media, and her agent, Martin Miller, has always been very optimistic about him...

These can make her form a very clear judgment.

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

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

"Hmm." Natalie Portman nodded unabashedly, "This is the most brilliant role I've seen since playing Padmé Amidala."

She closed her eyes again, "This is a woman living in her own world. She is beautiful and charming, has a high degree of education and a good family background, and has perfect conditions in the eyes of others. She has a clear judgment on herself, so that she believes , even if she doesn’t have to go through it, what she heard from others, such as “marriage is mutual compromise, work hard, then work harder, communicate and compromise, and then do another round of management” can become her preconceived notion of married life motto."

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

Natalie Portman continued on her own, "This kind of woman has the ability to convince herself of non-existent things in a way that is constantly repeated and strengthened in her consciousness, and through infinite imagination and concrete practice become a fact. Her sole purpose in doing this is revenge, and this revenge is born of inner restlessness and undeniable jealousy. And, when she makes some sacrifices against her will, it will aggravate her. The ability reached the breaking point, and at the same time, she gradually recovered her original self in the process."

Just reading the script, this role strongly aroused her emotional resonance. Those emotions that were concealed in the deepest part of the past by public relations, publicity, performances, artificiality, etc., resonated strongly with Amy.

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

"Gail!" Natalie Portman opened her eyes, and the fluctuating emotions just 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 William Morris company is a direct competitor to Murphy Stanton's CAA, and there seems to be some misunderstanding between her agent Martin Miller and Murphy Stanton. It is definitely not the best way to go through the agent route. s Choice.

But... Natalie Portman glanced at Gal Gadot without a trace. The little girl she met in Jerusalem unexpectedly was useful.

"About Murphy?" Gal Gadot frowned unobtrusively, "Are you..."

Natalie Portman didn't have any hesitation, she seemed to be very straightforward with her friends, as if she had no reservations at all, and said very directly, "I like the role of Amy, and I want to play the role of Amy."

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

But her mind is spinning 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, compared with herself, But 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 help herself win this role...

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

"Uh..." Natalie Portman froze for a moment.

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

Gal Gadot doesn’t seem to have changed from just now. She seems to be a stupid girl who admires and likes the Jewish actress opposite. She just speaks out of her mouth, but she doesn’t have any 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 never Don't like to take my advice."

These words are as true as they are.

Natalie Portman is Natalie Portman after all, she was just stunned for a moment before recovering.

"It's okay." She returned to that perfect look, "I was negligent, it can't be because of this..."

She suddenly emphasized her tone, "This kind of insignificant matter affects the deep relationship between you."

Gal Gadot's hand hanging under the table suddenly grabbed the handbag on the chair next to him. He had the urge to grab the bag and turn around and leave. He also sighed secretly in his heart. Compared with Murphy, a cunning old fox , is still too stupid and naive.

The woman opposite probably didn't consider her a friend at all, did she? Maybe they were indeed friends before, but when she refused, this so-called friendship has been thrown away by the other party.

She said such a thing just now, what is a trivial matter? What is a profound feeling? Do you really think of yourself as a fool? (To be continued.)
