Chapter 303 The Most Incredible Species
(Natalie's rumors don't have to be taken too seriously, no one knows whether they are true or not. These are all rumored news circulating online, just take a look)
In a circle full of temptations and competition for fame and fortune, there will inevitably be a lot of rumors. Some of them are true and false, but what can be widely circulated will eventually be proven that a considerable number of them are real.
For example, now, it is rumored that Anne Hathaway, who became famous for her first time with "The Princess Diary", is a very artificial person. Her current boyfriend seems to have some problems. Others may think that this is just a rumor that people are famous, but Murphy, a person with a strange experience, knows that at least 70% of the rumors about Anne Hathaway in Hollywood are true.
Murphy was not sure if the ones he had seen were true, but it did affect his senses about Natalie Portman.
After interfering with the marriage between Darren Aronovsky and Rachel Weisz, the former got rid of the latter and constantly criticizing the latter for his lack of skills, Natalie Portman successfully got the role she wanted, but she is not a professional dancer. The heroine's large number of dance scenes inevitably require a special dance stand-in. The large number of use of stand-in will seriously affect the Olympian. While she completed a small part of the dance scenes, she claimed to have completed most of the dances, and signed a contract with the dance stand-in, forbidding the other party to tell the truth, so as not to be unfavorable to her Oscars.
In order to make the whole drama go more as expected, Natalie Portman found a good friend Mira Kunis to play the supporting actress, but things would not always follow her ideas. During the "Black Swan" crew participating in the Venice Film Festival, Natalie Portman discovered that Darren Aronovsky had an affair with Mira Kunis at the same time.
At the Venice Film Festival, Natalie Portman got nothing, while Mira Kunis won the best newcomer in Venice with this film. The relationship between these two people was shattered in private.
Of course, in front of the media and the audience, they are still good friends and good sisters.
When ordinary people encounter such a thing, they will definitely be furious and leave Darren Aronovsky, but Natalie Portman's goal is Oscar. She chose to endure and took the initiative to make peace with Mira Kunis.
Even a smart person like Natalie Portman could not control everything. During the Toronto Film Festival, she found herself pregnant with Darren Aronovsky's child.
Aborting the child is undoubtedly the most suitable choice, but smart Natalie Portman turned accidents into a factor that can be exploited. Pregnant women can get more sympathy and favor than ordinary people. When the North American awards season is about to begin, in order to fight against the most important opponent of the season, Natalie Portman decided to leave the child.
But Darren Aronovsky is not a reliable choice after all, and once it is reported that he has an affair with the director, he will inevitably be involved in the bad things between Darren Aronovsky and Rachel Weisz, becoming a third party to intervene, that will not be a breakup, but a scandal.
In order to avoid being involved in the breakdown of Darren Aronovsky's marriage with Rachel Vizi, Natalie Portman decided to find a suitable date, and then targeted the bisexual dance director Benjamin Millerpi in the crew.
This can kill two birds with one stone. If someone attacks her for her unprofessional dance scenes, she will naturally be recognized by the lead dancer of the New York Ballet.
But Annette Benin is not a good person to deal with. Then Wu Di revealed the Natalie Portman storm. Darren Aronovsky wanted to recover Natalie Portman. At her request, Darren Aronovsky, who thought he had a chance to get back, tried hard to ensure Wu Di did not start making a big fuss until the Oscar ended.
At this point, Natalie Portman had played his opponent Annette Benin, squeezing Darren Aronovsky's value to the greatest extent, and safely distanced himself from Darren Aronovsky, and took advantage of the advantages of romance and pregnancy to further attract votes, leaving Annette Benin with no resistance and finally successfully won the Oscars.
When Murphy saw this, he was surprised and admired. If all this was true, Natalie Portman and the team behind her were thoughtful and efficient in planning, they would be the best learning object.
This is definitely a classic case of the Oscar campaign. Compared with Natalie Portman's various public relations methods, Harvey Weinstein's PR methods can be said to be simple and crude, and have no technical content.
In this regard, Murphy felt that he was willing to give up the disadvantage. Now he is not in the same rank as Natalie Portman in the future.
However, there is no airtight wall in the world. After winning the Oscar, those who were suppressed by Natalie Portman began to rebound strongly. As the dancer made a big fuss and her boyfriend's character and sexual orientation in the dance world were exposed, the reason for the breakdown of the marriage between Rachel Weisz and Darren Aronovsky was exposed. In addition, her weak presence in the Marvel Universe's most failed "Thor 2" was also amazing. During the promotion period, she had a fight with another actress, Kate Dennings...
All kinds of unfavorable news pushed her to the forefront.
So, an innocent movie "Jane Picking Up the Gun" appeared, but all kinds of scenes were added to her role, and the continuous adaptation and aggravation of her roles caused actors such as Michael Fassbender and Jude Law to run away one after another. The project took a long time from preparation to release, which can be regarded as a big gossip in Hollywood.
As for whether Natalie Portman finally proved herself...well, whether it is "The Story of Love and Darkness" or "Jane Picking Up the Gun", the box office and reputation are awful.
As a director who likes to control the overall situation, Murphy certainly doesn't like working with actors like Natalie Portman.
As the crew auditions proceeded, the actors of each role were confirmed, and Murphy also agreed to let James Franko's younger brother Dave Franko take on an unimportant role.
If possible, Murphy will definitely prioritize and help his own people.
The heroine has never been sure. Anne Hathaway also came to the crew to audition, but Miss Anne is not in the future. Apart from her youthful and beautiful appearance, the others cannot meet Murphy's requirements at all.
As for those young actors who participated in the audition, let alone Murphy, they couldn't even pass the casting group led by Paul Wilson. Perhaps some of them had no worse acting skills and appearance than famous actors, but their aura was too weak.
Aura is intangible and invisible, but it really exists, especially when an actor appears in the camera, it will be even stronger.
Murphy even asked people to find the original heroine Pei Chunhua, but now Rosamand Parker can only be regarded as a vase.
Hollywood does make actors successful, but an excellent character also needs an actor who matches it. A role like Amy cannot be controlled by just finding a good-looking actress.
When the audition was not ideal, Murphy got Charlize Theron's contact information from Bill Roses and called her in person. The South African diamond did not refuse and agreed to meet with Murphy for a detailed discussion.
In the cafe at the Death Star Building, Murphy met the famous South African diamond.
"Hello, Director Stanton."
The blonde beauty wore a white shirt and cropped jeans, with a hint of laziness in her coldness. She was definitely the kind of woman who would not easily forget when she met.
"Call me Murphy." Murphy shook her hands. Charlize Theron knew that he was not facing an unknown person, but one of the most promising young directors recognized in the circle. He also said politely, "My friends call me Sally."
After looking up close, Murphy discovered that Charlize Theron himself was different from his image in magazines, media and movies.
Charlize Theron is definitely the most incredible species Murphy has ever seen. In and out of the play, the image contrasts of various characters are too big, both men and women, ugly, beautiful, handsome, curved, long hair, short hair, and even hairy inches are completely held.
But the woman opposite was extremely tall, wearing high heels, even taller than him. In addition to being tall, she was also extremely burly.
Murphy could tell with just a glance that unlike the slenderness and slimness in the camera lens, Charlize Theron himself had very wide shoulders, almost comparable to him.
"Sit, Sally." Murphy signaled the seat opposite, asked her for two more cups of coffee, and then went straight to the subject, "I have been waiting for your reply since the day I asked Bill Roses to contact you, and I haven't waited until today."
"I'm sorry." Charlize Theron apologized, "I was negligent."
Murphy turned his head slightly and asked, "Sally, have you read my script?"
Charlize Theron nodded slightly, "I saw it the first time you sent it to me."
How could she suddenly say, "Amy is a very good character. When I saw her, I thought of Erin Vornos."
Although she has low cultural literacy, she still has a certain discernment ability after participating in so many films. The role of Amy is really a serial killer who has made her the Oscar-winning Best Actress.
"So," Murphy didn't plan to go around the circle, "Sally, do you like the character Amy?"
After hesitating for a moment, Charlize Theron nodded again, "This character is very charming and exudes a strange charm."
"Can you be invited to play this role?" Murphy asked again.
Charlize Theron shook his head, "I can't give you the answer now."
