Hollywood Road

"Murphy, can you come to my party tomorrow?"

Hearing the invitation on the phone, Murphy looked at Gal Gadot who was sitting in the co-pilot. If Gal Gadot had time, of course he could go with his girlfriend, but Gal Gadot must have something to do tomorrow night can not go. ≧≥1 novel ≤≤\u003c\u003c≤\u003c≤\u003c\u003c\u003c≦

Go alone? Although his emotional intelligence is not high, Murphy is not so stupid.

Without any hesitation, he immediately declined, "Sorry, Nat, I have an appointment tomorrow night to talk about the role, and I don't have time."

Hearing this, Gal Gadot looked at Murphy, and her tense nerves instantly relaxed. It was obvious that Murphy cared about her feelings very, very much.

At the same time, her negative feelings about Natalie Portman have grown.

As early as a few days ago, she vaguely revealed that the school had activities on the weekend, and then she would go to San Francisco with the club, but Natalie Portman chose this time to hold the party and invited Murphy...

There are some things that Gal Gadot doesn't want to think about in a bad way, but she is not the kind of stupid girl who lived a good life in the eyes of Natalie Portman since she was a child, carefree and doesn't know how to think. It's hard to see some possible ugliness behind the surface.

Why did Natalie Portman make such an effort to invite Murphy? If it was in the past, she would have thought that Murphy was good enough and would naturally attract the attention of other women.

But after seeing the other side of Natalie Portman, she didn't think so. How could a woman like this who is completely different on the outside and inside become such a boring nympho?

There is only one possibility. Natalie Portman is optimistic about Murphy's new film and thinks it is very likely to succeed, and the role of Amy will make her shine.

After that day, Gal Gadot took a look at the script and had to admit that the role of Amy was not likable, but impressive.

This is just a script, what if it is put on the big screen? She believes in Murphy's ability to shape characters very much, and Natalie Portman's acting skills should not be a problem. Isn't her various performances in daily life not good enough?

For a while, Gal Gadot was worried, if Natalie Portman fought for it, would Murphy use her? Even if Murphy doesn't feel good about her.

For some reason, she disliked Murphy's cooperation with such people, but she never mentioned that Murphy's work should not be too much interfered by external factors like her.

But Gal Gadot quickly let go,

In Murphy's list of heroines, there is no Natalie Portman's name at all.

Sitting in the co-pilot, Gal Gadot remembered the reminder from the night of the party, did Murphy see through Natalie Portman's disguise when they met for the first time?

Anyway, Murphy was glad she didn't go to Natalie Portman's party alone and declined the invitation outright.

She has stayed in Los Angeles for a long time, and she has also heard various stories and rumors about Hollywood, and knows that many actresses who are eager to climb up can often do a lot of things for an opportunity and a brilliant role.

She had never associated Natalie Portman in this regard before, and now it seems that the other party may not be any better.

In the suite of the Beverly Hills Hilton Hotel, Natalie Portman put down her phone, her face was uncertain, and things didn't seem to go as smoothly as she thought.

"Nate," said Martin Miller, who was sitting in the living room of the suite, "according to what you said, that character is really good, and Murphy Stanton's ability is not a problem. The future of this project is indeed worth looking forward to." .”

He shook his head, "My relationship with CAA is not good, if I come forward to fight for you, the result may be even worse."

"It's okay." Natalie Portman stood up and took a few steps back and forth, "I'll fight for it myself."

Agents are more often looking for opportunities, and some opportunities need actors to fight for, and she is no stranger to this aspect.

She can even handle George Lucas, and it should be easier for a young director like Murphy Stanton.

"Actually, the new role I found for you is not bad." Martin Miller said suddenly, "You can also think about it."

"That director from Hong Kong with sunglasses?" Natalie Portman shook her head without hesitation, "How can he compare with Murphy Stanton? Martin, you should have heard of Murphy Stanton's New movies, CAA and 20th Century Fox are targeting awards season."

Martin Miller sighed softly, and persuaded, "Honey, you are too anxious, as long as the time comes, what belongs to you will be yours."

"I'm already twenty-four years old." Natalie Portman obviously waited anxiously, "I haven't been nominated for an Oscar yet. I think this role is a good opportunity."

She is a Jew, so as long as the role is guaranteed, it is relatively easy to get an Oscar nomination.

"Amy is the best character I've ever had as an actress..." Natalie Portman emphasized.

This role is so good, she won't give up easily.

The invitation to audition for the lead actress of the crew did not go well. Murphy soon got the news from Bill Rosses that Nicole Kidman was indeed interested in the role of Amy, but he did not want to do it in terms of salary. With too many concessions, the $8 million remuneration offered by the crew could not satisfy her appetite at all.

Nicole Kidman's agent, Pai Kingsley, asked for $12 million, plus 10% of the North American box office as a share.

Such conditions are far beyond the psychological expectations of Murphy and Kara Firth, including his and James Franco's salary, if they agree to Nicole Kidman, then the crew will definitely have to invest more, which is very important. One troublesome thing.

He and Kara Firth could only passively exclude Nicole Kidman.

Another candidate, Jessica Chastain, was also rejected by Murphy after participating in an audition. Although her appearance was good, she did not have the cold and ethereal beauty that the role required.

Jessica Chastain didn't hope that she could get the role, and then participated in the audition for the female police officer. Since "Planet Terror", she has never gotten the leading actress again, and her psychological expectations are relatively low. Fei made a comprehensive assessment and basically decided to entrust her with this role.

Throughout October, Murphy was very busy. The preparation work was not easy at all compared to the shooting. Gal Gadot participated in the school activity and followed the club he was in to the San Francisco area. He would stay there for at least half a month time.

During this period, Murphy received several calls from Natalie Portman with various excuses, but declined all of them.

He is not an idiot either. Thinking of Gal Gadot showing her the script, he gradually figured it out. Natalie Portman should have taken a fancy to the role of Amy.

If some of the rumors I've seen are true, the Jewish actress will probably go to any lengths to get the part she wants.

In order to avoid an uncontrollable situation, Murphy felt that it was better not to see it.

Indeed, Natalie Portman's acting skills are excellent, but her appearance has decided that she is not suitable for Amy. Simply put, she is not beautiful enough.

And even if it's suitable, Murphy doesn't want to use it. There are too many polarized rumors about her that I have seen, and some of them can't be ignored. After all, many things are so crazy, it can't be completely groundless.

When she lived on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, Natalie Portman was like a goddess in the hearts of many movie fans, and even some of Murphy's classmates who majored in film. It is not an exaggeration to say that she is a winner in life.

At that time, Murphy also liked her quite a lot, but a very weird movie called "Jane with a Gun" shook his position.

"Jane with a Gun" is a film that Natalie Portman produced and starred in in order to prove that she is more than the heroine of the "Thor" series after winning the Oscar and production. What is the underlying purpose of the production? It is said that it was actually to severely slap those insiders in the industry and media who looked down on her previous public relations.

Just like the rumors about Tom Cruise being glass, Natalie Portman won the Oscar for Best Actress for "Black Swan", and various rumors are flying everywhere.

The biggest rumor is the Jews... I don't need to elaborate on this, anyone who knows Hollywood knows it.

Compared with these unreliable views and the reality in the circle, other rumors are more lethal and have a certain degree of authenticity.

Murphy also read it, and was affected by it at the same time, because according to his judgment, such rumors with specific events cannot be completely false.

It is rumored that "Black Swan" was originally written by director Darren Aronofsky for his ex-wife Rachel Weisz a long time ago. As we all know, there is a long time gap between the script and shooting of this film. -Portman saw the script and the role, and thought the role was brilliant and might help her take a big step forward in her career, and wanted to get the role, but at that time Darren Aronofsky was cast Rachel Weisz was so dazed that she saw no one else at all, and had no intention of using Natalie Portman at first.

People like Natalie Portman will never give up easily, just like Matilda who was rejected from the audition and went to director Luc Besson, she always has a way Get what you want.

So, she chose the way of saving the country with curves, tried her best to catch up with Darren Aronofsky, and took away his people and script.

The following show was as bloody as most gossip in Hollywood. The furious Rachel Weisz took revenge on Daniel Craig and eventually divorced Darren Aronofsky.

If this is the case, Natalie Portman's approach is beyond reproach. There are too many similar things in Hollywood, and getting a role by hooking up with a director is not a shameful scandal that can be widely attacked.
