Eric heard what Michelle Simmons said, and smiled: "Usually there will be a but after this line, so, but?"
"Eric, this is just a supporting role. I'm talking about several film contracts for Charlie that are the protagonists."
As Michelle Simmons said, she took out two scripts from her satchel and handed them over, saying, "Charlie and I selected these from those film contracts. One is Woody Allen's new film, you You know, Woody Allen is best at portraying actresses, and his film is likely to bring Charlie some awards or nominations. The other one is Miramax's, called "The Cider House Rules." These two scripts are very good, and compared with "The Girl Who Moved Soul", the subject matter is more in line with the taste of the Oscar judges."
Although the trio has once again signed two film contracts with MGM for the movie universe of agents, however, as the overall progress of the movie universe of agents slows down, the three women also have more time to get involved in other films.
Listening to Michelle's introduction of the two scripts, Eric understood that Charlize also made up her mind to appear in some literary films during the two-year gap to gain more reputation for her acting skills.
After receiving the two scripts, Eric did not open them. He casually placed them under his arms, looked at the two of them and said, "I don't have time to read these, so let's talk about "The Girl Who Moved Soul". Actually, Charlie is not more suitable. The candidate for this role, if all subjective factors are completely discarded, I will let Angelina Jolie play Lisa," thinking that Angelina Jolie should not have fallen out with her father and removed her surname, Eric said again Added: "That's Angelina Jolie Voight, Jon Voight's daughter, do you know her?"
Charlize showed a puzzled expression, but Michelle nodded: "I've heard something about that girl, she seems to be a very rebellious girl."
Eric shook his head and said: "The word rebellious is simply a compliment to her. In fact, Julie is more hysterical than Lisa, who has an antisocial personality. This can be seen from her attitude towards relationships." When she loves, she will easily write the other party's name on the clothes with her own blood, and when she hates her, she will pick up a knife and chop the other party's blood dripping with blood. If she plays Lisa, she only needs to perform in her true colors, and she can easily support her This role even easily won Oscar recognition, which Charlie absolutely cannot do."
Although Charlize felt that Eric was not praising Julie, she was still a little unconvinced when she heard the last sentence, and retorted softly: "Eric, why can't I do it?"
Eric laughed: "Because our little Charlie is a good girl."
This should be a compliment, but it was obviously teasing, and Charlize could only avoid Eric's eyes with a reddish face.
Eric admired Charlize's charming appearance, and continued to say to her: "Because you are too beautiful and too young, if you want to get the attention of film critics and even award judges, you must play some roles that make people ignore your appearance .Too tricky intentionally playing ugly is not suitable for you for the time being, and I don’t like it, so the role of Lisa is just right for you. You know, this character is not just a simple lunatic, she is fierce, He is irritable, indifferent, and has a strong desire to control, but at the same time, he has a strong personality charm that can easily make all patients regard him as the leader. Although the film will not start shooting until early next year, but to play this role well, you must start preparing now."
Charlize thought that she didn't seem to agree to anything, but someone had already made the decision for her, which made her look at Michelle, wanting him to say a few words quickly.
At least, I shouldn't just agree to it in such a muddle.
Somehow struggle.
However, Michelle listened carefully to Eric's analysis, as if she didn't notice Charlize's eyes at all.
After Eric finished speaking, he raised his hand and looked at his watch, and said, "That's it, Charlie. If your performance in this movie is good enough, then I can help you get an Oscar nomination for the leading actress .Although it is very possible to win an award for a supporting actress, for you, the best actress nomination is more beneficial to your future development. I still hope that you can become the first actress of your generation to win an Oscar The heroine's one. So, any other questions?"
Despite the small flames of rebellion against some Hollywood tyrant, Charlize found herself nodding resignedly.
Eric nodded with satisfaction: "That's it. By the way, the party of "Midnight Ring" is at the restaurant of the big boat tonight. Would you like to come together?"
"I already have an appointment for the evening," Charlize said with a little provocation in her heart, but added in a flash: "It's a birthday party for a good friend of Kate's."
Eric smiled, got up and said, "Forget it, I'll take you out."
Charlize and Michelle stood up together, chatted and laughed with Eric and left the "Gravity" studio until they turned a corner and confirmed that someone behind them would never see the two of them again, Charlize said angrily Looking at Michelle: "What should I do now?"
Michelle laughed suddenly, looked at Charlize's guilty look, and said, "You still like him, don't you?"
Charlize turned her head directly, made a look like I don't want to hear your nonsense, and quickened her pace.
Michelle had no choice but to quicken her pace, with a smile still on the corner of her mouth.
In fact, today's meeting was originally brought up by Charlize. Although the reason given was that she didn't want to play a supporting role like Lisa, Michelle felt that this request was more like an excuse.
As a veteran Hollywood agent who entered the industry very early, Michelle couldn't see that the role of Lisa in "The Girl Who Moved" was more suitable for Charlize. Although she was a little dissatisfied with the remuneration given by Eric at first, after Eric said just now, "I hope Charlize will be the first actress of her generation to win the Oscar for Best Actress." 'After these words, the dissatisfaction in Michelle's heart disappeared completely.
With Eric's current status in Hollywood, he said that he hoped that Charlize would be the first actress of her generation to win an Oscar. Then, Charlize would definitely be the lucky one.
During this time, ICM has re-signed the agent contracts with the trio. Kate and Penelope, after being reprimanded by Eric, did not leave ICM after all, but replaced a dedicated independent agency team. . Michelle very wisely chose Charlize to continue to serve as her agent in the process, and now, she is more able to appreciate the correctness of her decision.
Although they still belong to the same brokerage company, they have become distant relatives after all.
After what happened last time, not to mention being in the trio, Eric is now obviously more partial to Charlize. If Charlize can become the first one of their generation to win the Oscar for Best Actress, Michelle Simmons, as Charlize's agent, will definitely have a higher status in Hollywood.
The two came to the parking lot and got in the car. Michelle looked at Charlize in the co-pilot while fastening her seat belt, and said with a smile, "If you really don't want to act, I'll go talk to Eric."
"Forget it, I don't want to be scolded by him again."
Michelle joked, "Really don't want to?"
Charlize glared at her manager: "Michelle, if you talk like that again, I'll get angry."
"Okay, okay," Michelle made a gesture of surrender, started the car and drove out of the parking lot, with a slightly more formal expression, and said: "Actually, among the three of you, Eric is obviously the most optimistic about you."
Charlize didn't want to speak at first, but after a while, she couldn't help but said, "Why can't I see it at all? She's talking to Petunia and Kate..."
Having said that, Charlize suddenly stopped talking.
Michelle didn't answer either, but she knew it well.
All three girls must have had intimate relationships with Eric.
Moreover, although Charlize seems to have the most independent personality among the three girls, she is actually the most sensitive one. However, because of her background and wandering alone in a foreign land, Charlize habitually wrapped herself in a protective shell to keep people away.
However, if someone inadvertently knocks on the protective shell and sneaks in, it is not easy to get out.
Eric single-handedly brought Charlize, who was once unknown, to her current position, which meant too many things to her. Coupled with Eric's power and status in Hollywood, as well as his strong personality, he can just bring Charlize a sense of security that he lacked since childhood, and therefore he can become the person most likely to sneak into Charlize's heart.
Just like last time, Charlize was the first among the three girls to agree to the remuneration conditions offered by Firefly. Although there is no lack of awareness of her low popularity in the trio, Michelle is very sure that there is definitely something in it. Eric factor.
Otherwise, if the three women hold together and advance and retreat together, even Eric may only be able to make a certain compromise in the end.
"It's a pity, he is such a dazzling person," Michelle sighed regretfully as the car drove out of the Firefly Studios Park, then looked at Charlize beside him, and said, "However, you can also take the initiative Yeah, how about I help you find an invitation to the Ring the Ring party tonight?"
Charlize was not in a hurry to deny it this time, she was silent for a moment before saying: "Michelle, do you think this will have any results?"
Michelle looked at the road in front of the car, and said: "It depends on what kind of result you want, do you know, I heard that he has a very, very smart daughter, remember that in "Men in Black" Is Rick’s cameo, Kapoor said, he thinks that girl is a little Pandora star,” said Michelle, suddenly realizing that she seemed to be talking too much, and hurriedly said: “Just listen to it.” , but don’t talk about it outside.”
Charlize also knew the rumors that Eric already had two children, but she suddenly remembered that a few years ago, after that afternoon, Eric took her to watch "Men in Black" at night. I couldn't help laughing, and said: "I don't want to do this, I will be regarded as a gold digger girl."
"Hehe, if you can dig into the gold mine of Eric Williams, I guarantee that everyone will only envy you." Michelle said: "So, do you want an invitation letter? I will call now Maybe you can still get it, but it will definitely be gone when it is too late.”
"Forget it," Charlize shook her head, and said, "I just rejected him just now."
"Then you can find your own chance."
Charlize realized that she seemed to be led astray by Michelle, and said, "When did I say I was looking for this kind of opportunity?"
"This is your own business," Michelle resolutely said, "Let's talk about "Soul Shifting Girl", this is indeed a role that requires careful preparation. If you can grab Winona Rui De's limelight, even without Eric's help, will definitely attract the attention of the critics."
"I think, judging by the character of Lisa, this should be an easy task." Charlize also decided not to continue the topic just now, but couldn't help but glance at Michelle when she said this , I was very worried that she would point out that I had carefully thought about the script in advance, but I said I didn't like this movie, so the two came to see Eric together today.
Michelle didn't seem to notice this, and said: "Winona has already been nominated for two Oscars, if you really think that you can snatch it by yelling like a maniac It would be too naive to take Winona's limelight. Eric's analysis just now was very accurate. Under the appearance of a lunatic, Lisa has very complex personality traits, vicious, irritable, indifferent, and desire to control , and that kind of leadership charisma, you have to understand all of these and perform them perfectly before you can really steal the limelight from Winona. So, look, this is the gap between you and Eric."
"Okay, Michelle, what should I do?"
Michelle thought for a while and said, "Why don't you go to a mental hospital for a while?"
Charlize shuddered, but after thinking about it, she still gritted her teeth and said, "If it's necessary, that's okay."
"Hehe, I'm just kidding you," Michelle shook her head, and said, "Actually, there are some lunatics who have tried this, and they really went crazy in the end. So, even if you want, I will stop it. How about it, I have been in contact with several psychiatrists these days to help you supplement the basic knowledge, and I am also looking for some videotapes of antisocial personality patients.”
Charlize was a little dissatisfied: "Is there really no need to really get along with those people?"
Michelle said: "Of course not. In fact, what you want to experience is the role of Lisa, not to imitate a guy who really has anti-social personality. Regarding Lisa, you should learn from Suzanne's original biography and our hands. It is basically enough to learn about it in detail in the script, and to assist with some theoretical knowledge of professional psychiatry.”
