It took more than an hour. In a beauty shop, Charlize Theron had her hair done, put on the windbreaker she had chosen not long ago, and came to a floor-to-ceiling mirror.
The girl in the mirror wears light makeup, and her light-colored long hair has been dyed golden brown. The belted khaki windbreaker, black slim-fit trousers, and the same black knee-high boots make her figure look more slender.
A beautician who just served Charlize Theron looked at the girl in the mirror enviously, and complimented: "This lady is really beautiful, but I noticed that you don't seem to wear perfume, maybe you can try miss The eau de toilette of the dior series is fresh and elegant, which is very suitable for your current temperament."
Charlize Theron glanced at the agent standing beside her, with a questioning look in her eyes. At the beginning, seeing the agent brushing away thousands of dollars for a windbreaker lightly, Charlize Theron She also worried a little bit about how long it would take for her to repay the money if she failed this time, and the subsequent expenses gradually made her numb.
It's already reached this point, so let's be more thorough, and it's nothing to add a bottle of perfume.
Anyway, if she failed, she would definitely not be able to pay back the money.
Michelle Simmons looked at Charlie with satisfaction at this time", Zi Theron nodded slightly, and when he heard the beautician's words, he also showed a moment of hesitation on his face, and finally shook his head again: "This way Very good, no need for perfume."
Although Charlize Theron was a little puzzled, she didn't refute it. From yesterday to now, the agent kept explaining the precautions for various meetings and the attire that made her look very different from the past. She could also roughly guess what was on the document with Eric Williams' name written on it last night.
It must be that guy doesn't like women wearing perfume.
I thought so. After checkout. The two didn't do any more unnecessary things, and went straight to the car and drove towards the Playa Vista community in the south of Culver City.
It was only half past ten when they arrived at Firefly Studios. Michelle parked the car in a parking lot outside the studio. The two got out of the car. Charlize Theron involuntarily looked towards the wall of Firefly Studios.
Although it is covered by a wall more than two meters high, the huge studio in the studio still reveals its huge body.
Michelle Simmons looked at his watch, and instead of leading Charlize Theron across the road to the studio, he found a coffee shop nearby.
Ordered two cups of coffee and a stack of pastries. Michelle Simmons said, "Charlie, have you remembered everything I told you?"
Charlize Theron recalled in her mind what Michelle Simmons had told her since last night, and then slowly repeated it to her agent.
Michelle Simmons waited for her to finish, nodded and said: "Very good, but there is one more thing, I know you are a smart girl, but in front of Mr. Williams, don't show those little cleverness, just be natural Okay. If you're really nervous, it's better to talk less. Don't talk incoherently."
Charlize Theron thought of the lazy face in the audition room more than a week ago, and felt that the manager was a little too serious, but she still nodded obediently.
"Do you think I'm making a fuss out of a molehill?" Michelle Simmons asked suddenly, looking at Charlize Theron's expression.
Charlize Theron shook her head in a panic: "No, no."
"Don't think these are small things. He became famous in a few movies at the age of eighteen, and he has huge power in Hollywood at a young age, and he is also a director. Either of these two factors will make his character appear Some children..." At this point, Michelle Simon paused, did not use the word 'childish', and hesitated for a moment before saying: "Some... a little emotional, maybe it's just some inadvertent small mistakes that will make him If you don’t like it, just because you don’t like it, you may lose this chance. It’s not like this kind of thing has happened before. It’s rumored that during the audition process for the heroine of “X-Files”, the two producers The filmmakers are all optimistic about an actress, but he just gave an inexplicable 'I don't like this woman', and then rejected the other party."
Charlize Theron opened her mouth, listening to Michelle Simmons' casual industry gossip in surprise, thinking of "X-Files", a TV series she had just watched, curiously lowered her voice and asked: " Michelle, I... I heard that the heroine of The X-Files is also his lover, is that true?"
Michelle Simmons glared at her: "This is not what you should care about."
Charlize Theron brushed the hair on her forehead. She was quite confident in her appearance. Looking at the manager's expression, she became worried again: "Then... if he asks me to do it too, to be his... Then what should I do?"
"If you do this, you will immediately become the envy of ninety-nine percent of Hollywood actresses, and in a short period of time, you will have everything that ordinary people can't reach in a lifetime, top-notch material life, dazzling The stars have a smooth path, high remuneration, the best treatment, no need to submit to Hollywood rules, no need to work hard to maintain status like other stars... "
As Michelle Simmons said, seeing the unconcealable longing in the eyes of the girl opposite, he unceremoniously poured a basin of cold water: "But you can rest assured, he probably hasn't taken a fancy to you."
Charlize Theron couldn't stand it—he let out a cry, and asked unwillingly, "Why...why?"
Michelle Simmons shrugged: "Who knows why, just like we haven't figured out why he suddenly laughed during the audition for "Buffy", but with his character, if he likes He would have made a move when you auditioned for Buffy, and the truth is, not only did it not happen, he even forgot to meet you. So, girl, you are the most important thing this time The point is to be able to seize the opportunity that Kapoor said, and don't think about the rest."
Charlize Theron's shoulders were slightly slumped, and a look of disappointment appeared on her face.
Michelle Simmons took a sip of coffee. He quickly said again: "However. You should not forget what I said to you on the phone that night? If he sends you some invitations in that regard. Remember, don't refuse, it will definitely be good for you Yes, there are countless actresses in Hollywood who want to climb into his bed, and he is not one of those old and ugly old men, and you will not suffer.",
Charlize Theron rolled her eyes lightly, but nodded without rebuttal.
The two stayed in the roadside coffee shop until half past eleven before Michelle Simmons picked up the mobile phone and dialed the number of Eric's assistant. After talking for a while, they walked towards Firefly Studios with Charlize Theron.
The gate guard of the movie city also received orders in advance. After confirming their identities, they handed over two temporary passes to the two before letting them in.
The main road of the park is very spacious, and there are many trucks, battery cars and exquisite nanny cars parked next to the studio on both sides. At noon, many people come in and out through the open gate of the studio, and occasionally a group of people can be seen The crowded star stepped out of it and got into the nanny's car.
So walked a few hundred meters, through the studio area. Across a small square, a row of commercial lofts with steel frames and glass as the main body appeared in the field of vision. Going forward, the two finally came to the administrative area of the movie city.
Michelle Simmons made another call, and soon a young man in his thirties greeted him from an office building, introduced a few words to each other, and said, "Mr. Let me do it."
…
In addition to the large-scale staff restaurant, there are several relatively high-end specialty restaurants in the studio. After the scandal a week ago, Eric and Nicole did not go out to eat every day when they were in the studio, but chose one of them.
After work in the morning, Eric looked at the time and took Nicole to the place where the two often had lunch ahead of time. Eric did not rush to order, but called Allen on the phone and took care of himself Draw it from the sketchpad brought in the office.
Looking at Eric who was drawing quickly on the sketchpad beside him, Nicole couldn't help but said, "Don't you really need me to avoid it?"
Eric looked up at Nicole, and said with a smile: "No, I asked Allen to bring that girl and her agent here, just to meet, have a meal together and chat casually."
Nicole also knew the ins and outs of the matter at this time, nodded, and looked at the outline of the sketch in Eric's hand. Against the background that looked like flames, there stood three heroic figures of girls: "This What is it, the concept art of "Charlie's Angels" that you plan?"
Eric nodded, and seeing Nicole's face approaching, he moved the drawing board towards her, continued to add lines with the pencil in his hand, and explained: "Yeah, I plan to make the TV series "Charlie's Angels" A radical adaptation, if possible, into a 007-like series of spy films for women."
Eric didn't like the original "Charlie's Angels" series very much, because the original version not only had a messy plot, but also had too much music mv traces. It is said that the director at the time, Joseph McGinty Nicher, was originally a music mv director, but However, he did not more or less get rid of the MV shooting method after changing careers like David Fincher and Michael Bay, which led to a large number of scenes similar to music MVs in "Charlie's Angels".
If it weren't for the real stunts and a series of gimmicks such as female action movies that were burned out in the original version, the film's chances of success at the box office are unlikely. Therefore, this series came to an abrupt end after two films were released, and it could not be restarted for a long time. The subsequent remake of the TV series also ended in failure.
Now that the control of this series is in his own hands, Eric not only does not intend to follow the original style, but also has a bigger ambition, which is to make this story into a relatively long series of action movies, even if If you can't catch up with the classic 007 series, you should also work hard in this direction.
"007 has already filmed sixteen films. It is not so easy to develop a similar series of films. Frank Macasso, who has just taken over MGM, recently plans to restart the 17th film of 007. They have previously I sent an invitation to ask if I have any intention of playing a Bond girl."
Nicole's casual words gave Eric an idea. He turned his head and looked up and down at the girl. Nicole looked puzzled for a while, shrank her neck back, and said with a smile: "Haha, haven't you seen it? I thought you already Getting tired of it."
Eric went up to catch up and pecked the girl's lips, and said with a smile: "How is it possible, I just suddenly thought of a good idea."
"oh?"
Eric said: "Since 007 has a Bond girl, then "Charlie's Angels" should also have a more typical villain, um... Let's call it Fallen Angel."
"Fallen Angel, you don't want me to act, do you?"
"Bingo, how about the first fallen angel?"
"Not that bad. Since you want to develop a new series, the three heroines you choose should not be too famous. If I am the villain, even if it is against the three girls, I will be enough in every respect. They are overwhelming, and when the audience will focus on me, the movie will definitely lose its balance," Nicole said confidently.
Eric also quickly realized this problem. The recent "Mr. and Mrs. Smith" successfully created a strong queen aura for Nicole. If he followed his plan, the three new actresses would definitely be difficult to suppress.
"Since the first one doesn't work, then the second one is fine. It just so happens that the first one is used to build the reputation of the series, and the second one is used to strengthen the reputation of the fallen angels. The subsequent development of the series will be smoother."
"It's more or less like this, I can try it then," Nicole nodded.
While chatting, Allen led Charlize Theron and Michelle Simmons into the restaurant.
Nicole's eyes stayed on Michelle Simmons, who was wearing a black suit and had short hair, for a moment, then moved to Charlize Theron, looked him up and down, and suddenly smiled and approached Eric's ear, whispering Said: "Your food."
"I haven't ordered my food yet," Eric replied softly, standing up.
"Hi, Mr. Williams, I'm Michelle Simmons, nice to meet you," Michelle Simmons walked over, warmly extended Eric's hand, and then exchanged greetings with Nicole Greeted, and quickly gave up the seat to Charlize Theron beside her.
"Miss Theron, we meet again," this time it was Eric who took the initiative to say hello, and unabashedly looked at the lucky guy in front of him on the Hollywood film industry assembly line in the original time and space.
