Chapter 302 Scandal
"Murphy, can I come to my party tomorrow?"
Hearing the invitation from the phone, Murphy looked at Gal Gadot sitting in the passenger seat. If Gal Gadot had time, he could of course accompany his girlfriend, but Gal Gadot would definitely not be able to go tomorrow night.
Going alone? Although his emotional intelligence is not high, Murphy is not so stupid yet.
Without any hesitation, he immediately declined, "Sorry, Nat, I'll have an appointment to talk about the role tomorrow night, and I don't have time."
Hearing this, Gal Gadot looked at Murphy, and his originally tight nerves relaxed instantly. It was obvious that Murphy was very concerned about her feelings.
At the same time, she felt more and more negatively about Natalie Portman.
A few days ago, she vaguely revealed that there was an event at the school on weekends and then she had to follow the club to San Francisco. As a result, Natalie Portman chose this time period to hold a party and invited Murphy...
There are some things that Gal Gadot doesn't want to think about bad things, but she is not the kind of stupid girl in Natalie Portman's eyes who has lived a good life since childhood, carefree and unaware of thinking. There are some things that are not difficult to see some of the possible ugliness behind the appearance.
Why did Natalie Portman focus on inviting Murphy? If it were in the past, she would have thought Murphy was excellent enough and would naturally attract the attention of other women.
But after seeing the other side of Natalie Portman, she would not think so. How could such a woman with a completely different surface than her inside suddenly become such a boring idiot?
Then there is only one possibility. Natalie Portman is optimistic about Murphy's new film and believes that it is very likely to succeed, and Amy's character will make her shine.
After that day, Gal Gadot read the script specifically and had to admit that Amy's character is not likable, but it is extremely impressive.
This is just a script. What if it is placed on the big screen? She believes in Murphy's ability to shape the characters very much, and Natalie Portman's acting skills should not be a problem. Isn't her various performances in her daily life outstanding enough?
For a while, Gal Gadot was worried that if Natalie Portman fought for it, would Murphy use her? Even if Murphy was not good at her senses.
For some reason, she really disliked Murphy working with such people, but she never mentioned that Murphy's work should not be disturbed by external factors such as her.
However, Gal Gadot was relieved soon. There was no name for Natalie Portman in the list of heroines designated by Murphy.
Sitting in the passenger seat, Gal Gadot remembered the reminder of the party night. Did Murphy see through Natalie Portman's disguise for the first time when he met?
No matter what, Murphy was not going to Natalie Portman's party alone and refused the invitation directly. She was very happy.
After staying in Los Angeles for a long time, she has also heard various stories and rumors about Hollywood, and knows that many actresses who are eager to climb up often can do a lot of things for a chance and outstanding role.
She had never associated Natalie Portman with this aspect before, and now it seems that the other party may not be much better.
In the suite at the Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills, Natalie Portman put down his cell phone, his face was shaking and uneven, and things didn't seem to be as smooth as she thought.
"Nate," said Martin Miller, who was sitting in the living room in the suite. "As you said, that role 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, "I have a bad relationship with Caa. If I come forward to help you, the result may be worse."
"It's okay." Natalie Portman stood up and walked a few steps back and forth, "I'll fight for it myself."
Agents are often looking for opportunities, while some opportunities need actors to strive for. She is not unfamiliar with this.
Even George Lucas can be done, and it should be easier for a young director like Murphy Stanton.
"Actually, the new role I've found for you is also good." Martin Miller suddenly said, "You can also consider it."
"The director with sunglasses from Hong Kong?" Natalie Portman shook his head without hesitation. "How can he compare to Murphy Stanton? Martin, you should have heard of Murphy Stanton's new film, Caa and Twentieth Century Fox's goal and awards season."
Martin Miller sighed softly and persuaded, "Dear, you are too anxious. As long as the time comes, yours will be yours."
"I'm twenty-four years old." Natalie Portman was obviously anxious to wait. "I haven't received an Oscar nomination yet. I think this role is a good opportunity."
She is a Jew, and as long as her role is guaranteed, it is relatively easier to get an Oscar nomination.
“Amy is the one I’ve been an actor…” Natalie Portman emphasized, “the best character I’ve ever met.”
This character is so outstanding that she won't give up easily.
The audition invitation for the heroine of the crew was not smooth, and Murphy soon received news from Bill Roses. Nicole Kidman was indeed very interested in the role of Amy, but he did not want to make too much concessions in terms of pay. The $8 million paid offered by the crew could not satisfy her appetite at all.
Nicole Kidman's agent Pie Kinsley 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 Carla Fies. Including his and James Franco's pay, if Nicole Kidman is agreed to, the crew will have to invest additionally, and additional investment is a very troublesome thing.
He and Cara Fais can only passively eliminate Nicole Kidman.
Another candidate, Jessica Chastain, was rejected by Murphy after attending an audition. Although her appearance is good, she does not have the cool and ethereal beauty that the character needs.
Jessica Chastain did not hope to get this role, and then participated in the audition of the female police officer. Since "The Horror Planet", she has never won the heroine again. Her psychological expectations are relatively low. Murphy has comprehensively measured it and was basically sure to hand over this role to her for the role.
Murphy was extremely busy throughout October, and the preparations were not easy than shooting. Gal Gadot participated in the school event and followed the club to the San Francisco area, where he had to stay for at least half a month.
During this period, Murphy received several calls from Natalie Portman under various excuses, but refused them all.
He was not a fool either. He thought of Gal Gadot showing her the script and gradually figured it out. Natalie Portman should have fallen in love with the role of Amy.
If some of the rumors I have seen before are true, this Jewish actress may do anything to get the role she likes.
In order to avoid uncontrollable situations, Murphy felt it was better to see it.
Indeed, Natalie Portman has excellent acting skills, but her appearance has decided that it is not suitable for Amy. To put it simply, she is not beautiful enough.
And even if it is appropriate, Murphy doesn't want to use it. There are so many rumors about her polarization that I have seen before, and some of them cannot be ignored. After all, many things are so crazy that they cannot be completely groundless.
When she lived across the Pacific Ocean, Natalie Portman was a goddess-like existence in the hearts of many movie fans and even some of Murphy's classmates who studied film majors. It is not an exaggeration to say that she is a winner in life.
At that time, Murphy also liked her very much, but a very weird film called "Jane who picked up the gun" shook his position.
"Jane Picking Up the Gun" is a film that Natalie Portman won the Oscar for Best Actress and produced, in order to prove that she is not only as good as the heroine of the "Thor" series, but also produced and starred in the movie. What is the potential purpose of self-producing? It is said that it is actually to hit those in the faces of those in the industry and the media who looked down on all kinds of insider stories about her previous posthumous public relations.
Just like the rumors that Tomco is glass, Natalie Portman won the Oscar for Best Actress with "Black Swan", and all kinds of rumors were flying all over the sky.
The biggest rumor is the Jews... Without further ado, people who know Hollywood actually understand it.
Compared with these unreliable views and reality in the circle, other rumors are more lethal and authentic.
Murphy has also seen it and was affected at the same time, because according to his judgment, such rumors of specific events cannot be completely fake.
It is rumored that "Black Swan" was originally written by director Darren Aronovsky for his ex-wife Rachel Weisz a long time ago. As we all know, there was a long time between the script and the filming of this film. Natalie Portman saw the script and the character, thinking that this role was very outstanding and might help her take a big step forward in her career and want to get this role. But at that time, Darren Aronovsky was fascinated by Rachel Weisz, and there was no one else in his eyes. He had no intention of using Natalie Portman at the beginning.
People like Natalie Portman never give up easily. Just like after Matilda was shot in the audition, she could still go to director Luc Besson, she always had a way to get what she wanted.
So she chose the way to save the country on a curve, tried her best to get along with Darren Aronovsky, and stole his people and scripts.
The subsequent development is as bloody as most Hollywood gossip. In order to revenge, the furious Rachel Weizi caught up with Daniel Craig and eventually divorced Darren Aronovsky.
If this is the case, Natalie Portman's approach is beyond reproach. There are too many similar things in Hollywood. It is not embarrassing to get a role by hooking up with a director or a scandal that can be used to be widely attacked.
