Chatty Hollywood

Of course, the coveting of the North American annual box office champion in 1995 only existed in Jodie Foster's heart.

But in another part of Los Angeles, because of the excellent box office performance of "Sleepy Hollow", someone got angry and broke a vase.

"That role should have been mine!!"

Looking at the broken vases on the ground, Brad Pitt was speechless.

He had no idea Gwyneth Paltrow had such a bad temper!

"Don't get excited, Gwen."

Pete, who is still a good boyfriend, tried to comfort his girlfriend,

"Although Charlize Theron has gained high popularity for the role of Katrina, it is a commercial role after all. For actresses, acting awards are the foundation for staying evergreen."

"Yeah?"

Gwyneth looked at her boyfriend with a sneer,

"Why do these words seem to come out of Harvey Weinstein's mouth!?"

"Weinstein..."

Hearing this name, Peter felt an unspeakable resentment in his heart.

At the beginning of the year, Gwyneth cried to him and told him that Harvey Weinstein of Miramax Pictures had used the audition for the movie "Emma" to make some unreasonable demands in private.

At that time, Pitt was so angry that he immediately took his girlfriend to find Weinstein and wanted an explanation.

However, when faced with this fat man who dominated the independent film community, Pitt didn't know what to say.

Really punch the opponent?

Although Pitt has a bad temper, he still knows the importance of Weinstein, who has a great influence on the Oscars. Offending him will not be good for his own pursuit of awards.

But he was unwilling to let him go like this.

In the end, facing Harvey Weinstein's smiling expression, Pitt made a few false threats and left helplessly.

However, after some time passed,

Gwyneth got the role of "Miss Emma" again...

Pete was very embarrassed about this incident for a while, but Gwyneth never said anything else, and he couldn't ask questions, so he could only hope that the incident would fade away.

But now it seems that Gwyneth has not forgotten this incident.

Is she deliberately using that bastard Weinstein to stimulate me? ?

Peter was holding back anger in his heart, but facing his hurt girlfriend, he couldn't say anything. In the end, we can only discuss the matter

"Gwen, the movie "Sleepy Hollow" can at best increase the popularity of actresses. But for you, who is currently on the rise, this is actually not a problem."

And the actress originally booked for the role of Katrina was Winona Ryder, not you.

Of course, with Pete's EQ and IQ, he would not be stupid enough to say this.

Just like he won't say that he thinks Gwyneth can't play the role of Katrina.

At least he can't play Charlize Theron's unique charm.

It is a different kind of classical temperament that Gwyneth is good at, and has a more wild and mysterious feeling.

Pete thought the word "witch" was indeed appropriate.

What makes Pitt even more strange is that he has worked with Charlize Theron in "12 Monkeys" before, and he doesn't remember that the other person has this kind of temperament!

If he had to describe it, Peter felt that the word "frigid" was the most suitable for this strange woman.

After all, Peter had flirted with her several times, but this strange woman didn't respond at all, and even deliberately pushed the male protagonist Bruce Willis towards him...

This is not frigidity! ?

Anyway, Pete would not doubt that he was not attractive enough.

"Could it be that, under the lens of a male director, his muse will be particularly beautiful?"

At this point, Peter can only guess this way.

*********

Pete didn't know that the reason why Gwyneth was angry was also here.

As an actress who values ​​awards more, Gwyneth was depressed but not resentful about not being able to win the role of Katrina in "Sleepy Hollow".

After all, in her opinion at the time, the director would be so stupid that he would rather choose his own bed partner than an actor who fit the role, that is, Gwyneth herself, so the project had no future.

She doesn't need to be angry about a dead-end film project.

Even she once felt that the heroine of this project was perfect for her.

However, now reality has slapped Gwyneth in the face

After being released on Halloween night, "Sleepy Hollow" has done well at the box office and has received very good reviews.

As for the male and female protagonists, Ika Bukaran and Katrina Fantasso, the audience likes them very much.

Especially Katrina, her slightly mysterious temperament is rare for both men and women. This has also led to the rise in popularity of Charlize Theron, who plays her.

In other words, Charlotte Booth's original judgment was correct, Charlize Theron was really more suitable for this role than Gwyneth.

This feeling of frustration that her skills are inferior to others, and even her feminine charm is inferior to others, is the essential reason why Gwyneth is so angry now.

Of course, the movie's very good reviews from critics was also a factor that made Gwyneth feel depressed.

"This is a commercial blockbuster that combines technical special effects with plot style. Although the dark style may not be friendly to some viewers, Katrina, played by Charlize Theron, as a ray of sunshine, dispels the faint haze. People can quietly enjoy this visually stunning and impactful film surrounded by a sense of safe fear..."

Here's a review from film critic Richard Manson.

This film critic always likes to comment on the acting skills of actors. After watching "Sleepy Hollow", he praised Charlize Theron's acting skills, saying that she broke through his previous image.

Of course, Gwyneth thinks this is bullshit. In her opinion, the character of Katrina is essentially just an oversized vase.

"By touting it so hard, is this Richard Manson getting any benefits?"

Gwyneth thought maliciously.

However, she had nothing to say when faced with another film review from the well-known film critic Kenneth Turan.

"As a commercial movie, the plot of "Sleepy Hollow" is actually relatively complicated. It is obviously a fantasy movie, but I actually saw the feeling of "Murder on the Orient Express". Agatha, I believe this This is definitely not my illusion..."

Later, this film critic who likes commercial films explained the plot of the film at length, and finally praised the director and the heroine.

"It should be said that Charlotte Booth's character design for Katrina, played by Charlize Theron, very much meets the needs of the plot."

"Because she has learned witchcraft since she was a child. As a hidden witch, her temperament should not be that of a simple noble lady;"

“She is mysterious, innocent and a little wild, and this not only makes her stand out and dazzling, but also makes her really look a bit suspicious when faced with the suspicion of the male protagonist Ikabukaran; "

"For a film that has a mystery element, that's important."

"If all the clues of suspicion point to the heroine, but because the heroine's temperament is too well-behaved and people have no intention to doubt her, then it will actually fail as a mystery film."

“And the character Katrina avoids that failure!”

No, in fact, you are overthinking it, that bitch is just showing off from beginning to end!

Gwyneth thought gloomily.

However, she couldn't change Kenneth Turan's mind.

Just like she can't change Roger Ebert's two thumbs up for Sleepy Hollow.
