The Best Director

"Hey Natalie!"

Under the starry sky at night, Danny was walking around on the lawn sniffing something. Wang Yang, who had dialed the phone in the spacious study room, shouted and walked to the floor-to-ceiling glass window with a smile. Natalie was there. He also shouted in response: "Hey, Yang! SUP!?" Wang Yang scratched his ears and said with a smile: "The selection for the role has been decided." Natalie made a sound, was silent for a second or two, and laughed playfully: "I hope that's good news."

"There is no good or bad news, there is just news. But! It is good news." Wang Yang chuckled and became serious: "I would like to invite you to play the role of the psychiatrist in "The Dead"."

"Wow!" Natalie suddenly shouted happily, not a surprise, but very excited and excited, thinking about all those competitors who have both beauty and strength! Although she was doing her part, she couldn't help but feel very proud. She filmed "Blueberry Nights" and "The Dead" again. It was great! Natalie smiled and said: "I have to say, I am very, very excited now!! I went to Harvard just for this moment, wow——"

Wang Yang did not laugh and continued in a serious tone: "Also, I am going to invite Keira Knightley to play another female role. Natalie, who exclaimed for joy, stopped immediately: "Really? "After getting Wang Yang's confirmation, Natalie was silent for a long time, and suddenly shouted frantically: "Oh - it's simply Sophie's choice! Damn Nazis! "

"Why are you and her so at odds?" Wang Yang was confused and puzzled. Natalie was not a difficult person to get along with. She was a little crazy about him, but she could be said to be polite and approachable to everyone else. Natalie also sounded suspicious: "I don't know, she is actually staring at me. I want to be friendly, but she is always full of fire and medicine and always makes people angry!" Wang Yang tried to act as a peacemaker. : "Maybe it's just the way she talks, maybe..."

"Hey!" Natalie yelled and interrupted him, saying: "What do you want to do? Convince me?" Wang Yang said helplessly: "What do you think." Natalie asked: "So, she promised Yes?" When he said no, she immediately resumed her laughter and said, "OK, you will mess it up, but it won't be on me."

Wang Yang continued directly: "Even if you are all participating, there is no chance to appear on the set at the same time... There is only one scene, what's the big deal?" He frowned: "Don't want to appear in a movie together? Please , Man, I'm the director! Do you really want to act in this movie and this story?" He was really angry: "Who said, 'I won't give up when I see a script, because I have to I'll go crazy if I don't get the role I want! 'Quiting because of a boring woman quarrel? If you don't have the determination to act, you shouldn't audition. Do you know how many *** changes this brings?"

"Uh..." Natalie was stunned for a moment. This was the first time he had been angry with her in so many years of knowing her, and it was such a big anger. Many reactions flashed through his heart: "Brother, relax!", "FUсK" !", "BAM! I'm just kidding!", "What a man!"...

Gradually,

His anger made her sober. Why compete with Keira Knightley? Natalie felt that she was really childish this time, especially when facing her, her voice couldn't help but become deeper: "Yang, I'm sorry, I'm childish. Of course I want to act in this movie, before I was just like... knocking She’s crazy about taking medicine! In short, no matter what Knightley’s attitude is, I have no problem here.”

"Thank you for choosing me." Natalie's voice was a little gentle, but she didn't mean to calm his anger. She said frankly: "Frankly speaking, most of the reason why I want to star in "The Dead" is because you are the director. , it's no secret that I love making movies with you. And the story of "Infernal Affairs" is interesting, isn't it? I am sure that I have the interest, ability and determination to play "Lee" or "Mary" well, so if Knightley If you want a psychiatrist, don’t be embarrassed, just give it to her.”

Looking at the night outside, Natalie, who was leaning on the balcony railing, smiled and shook her head. There was one thing she didn't say: Sometimes, I also want to do something for you.

"As long as your words are enough." Wang Yang breathed out. He was very happy to see Natalie calmly looking at the conflicts with Knightley that came out of nowhere. Those words were touching, he smiled. Said: "But don't get me wrong, I said I invited you to play the role of a psychiatrist, and it's you." Natalie smiled and said, "OK."

"I'm also sorry, I was very irritable just now." Wang Yang apologized gently for being angry, but he felt a weird feeling of discomfort. In similar situations, he would apologize to Jessica like this from time to time, or even worse; Rachel also had several times, but Natalie seemed to be very few, and she couldn't remember anything. She was always a woman. He didn't scold Joshua, Downey and others so happily...

Natalie didn't care at all. Not to mention that he was right, his angry voice was quite sexy. She smiled and said: "It's my fault, don't argue! It's your fault."

? Wang Yang smiled mockingly to himself. He failed to deal with her in the audition room, but now he lost his temper and dealt with her instead. The two chatted for a few more words, and he ended the call after asking about Knightley's intentions.

"Haha——" Jessica, who had arrived quietly, suddenly pounced on him, hugged him like a koala, and let out a string of clear and sweet laughter. "Oh -" Wang Yang exclaimed and stumbled two steps, holding her thighs with one hand and supporting her buttocks with the other hand. Jessica hugged him more comfortably and tilted her head to lean against him. shoulder, chuckled softly: "What are you busy with?"

Wang Yang turned to glance at her and said with a smile: "I just scolded Natalie." Jessica blinked doubtfully: "Why?" Wang Yang thought: "Because... I am very angry. "Jessica pouted her lips, looking jealous: "Oh, you haven't scolded me for a long time." Wang Yang was immediately amused by her, and suppressed a smile and raised his face: "What's wrong with your brain, okay? Let’s… FUсK-U!”

"You're not scolding Natalie like this, are you?" Jessica still pouted, and Wang Yang couldn't help laughing: "No, I scolded her as a GEEK." Jessica rolled her eyes and then said He smiled with his teeth and looked up: "Then you should scold me... LL (a beautiful but not smart woman)." Wang Yang carried her to the chair and said with a smile: "No! You can You’re smart, but you’re so cute, like an angel.”

Jessica felt sweet in her heart, jumped off him, and held the hanging hair around her ears. Wang Yang then briefly talked about the tit-for-tat confrontation between Natalie and Knightley, and finally said: "I was about to ask Knightley for her opinion."

"Well, women are really troublesome." Jessica seemed indignant and sighed. If she participated in the audition...! At this time, Wang Yang asked: "Where is Keke?" Jessica instantly put on a sweet smile and said: "She is playing with ball, and I asked her to lie down." Keke, who is more than 4 months old, has learned to sit, but In order to protect the spine, etc., they almost never let her sit alone. Jessica walked out with lively steps: "You continue to work, I will go out to play with the baby." Wang Yang nodded and said: "OK, I will go out after making a few phone calls."

Since he was not that familiar with Knightley, Wang Yang first called her agent to ask about the situation. After learning that she was willing to talk directly, he called her. After the call was connected, he said politely: "Good evening, Kay La, I am Wang Yang."

"Hello, Miraculous Yang!" Knightley's voice was full of interest and expectation. She knew that when he called, it meant that the casting of the character had been decided! Sure enough, I heard Wang Yang say: "Keira, the casting has been decided. I would like to invite you to play Colin's fiancée in "The Dead"." Before he could continue, Knightley asked in a deep voice: "What? … I auditioned for a psychiatrist, can you tell me, who got her?”

Wang Yang naturally told the truth: "Natalie Bōtman." Knightley's reaction was just as he expected. You could tell from her rapid breathing that she was very angry. She said: "Why? Haha, it's amazing. Yang, I'm afraid I'm not interested..."

"Wait!" Wang Yang interrupted her forcefully, walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, looked at the starry sky outside, and said: "I know what you want to say, I know there is something wrong between you, I don't want to You know why you are like Elizabeth and Darcy." Knightley over there probably thought it was funny, and hehehaed: "We are not." Wang Yang ignored her and continued: "I invite you to play this role, yes Because she is more suitable for you, and your temperament is more suitable for playing a police officer, rather than a cold-hearted doctor."

Knightley doesn't have much sense of identity. If the psychiatrist were someone else, maybe she wouldn't care, but...

"Listen! You have to believe me!" Wang Yang didn't seem to have much patience. It was also because Knightley was not a person who liked her mother-in-law to be wordy, so why bother going around? He said directly: "Agents, film critics, friends, please stand aside for now... I even know yourself better than you do! Who am I? I know what role you play best, and I think this is a It’s a great opportunity. For you, you need a chance to compete on the same stage, isn’t this movie?”

"The roles of the two characters are almost the same. Speaking of which, maybe you are more concerned. No one is the protagonist, but whose performance is better? Isn't it clear this time? If you don't appear at the same time, I'm afraid people will still have a bad impression of you. Staying in a certain period, "Star Wars Episode 1"? Wouldn't it be better if you could defeat Botman from the front? Elizabeth, shut up Darcy!"

Listening to his words, Knightley was really moved. If someone else said this, she didn't know what her attitude would be, but it was Qi Qiyang on the other side of the phone, "I even know yourself better than you do! "She has no doubts about this sentence...

"I don't know if you will be biased towards her." Knightley, who was outspoken and outspoken, expressed a concern. Wang Yang suddenly laughed angrily: "What do you mean? What do you mean I am biased towards her? Not telling you the story? Did you deliberately edit your performance during editing?" Knightley said calmly: "Everyone knows that your relationship is very close. Okay." Wang Yang was also a little angry: "Oh my! I'm a director, understand? It's the same for her and you! If not, you Keira Knightley will audition for this small supporting role Really? Please! Think about it carefully."

In fact, when Knightley thought that this was indeed the case, she regretted saying this in her heart. Her apology was not salty, but she said, "I'm sorry, I was naive." She added, "I need to think about it, I will take it seriously." Think about it and then reply to you."! .
