As a movie with most scenes in a single room, "this man from Earth" has more than two weeks of shooting cycle. If it's not for the sake of perfection, it can be done in one week.
Simon arrived at the Toronto set, and the film was already more than half finished.
Brett Ratner is a MV director. He is not suitable for directing such a drama movie. Simon hopes that he can get rid of the bad habits of many MV directors who are filmmakers by virtue of a variety of films.
New World Pictures has got Jack Cheng's "red zone" and is expected to release in February next year. After that, "rush hour" series will be included in Simon's production list. This time, Simon is not going to let Brett Ratner direct the "rush hour" series as he once did. He wants to give the more important "Thunderbolt baby" series to each other.
The shooting site is located on the outskirts of Scarborough, Eastern Toronto.
Simon arrived at two o'clock in the afternoon and watched the shooting until it was finished at five o'clock in the afternoon. Although he didn't intervene or even express any opinions during the shooting, because of his arrival, everyone in the crew was obviously a little nervous, and only half of the set shooting task was completed.
In the middle of winter, five o'clock is already in the evening.
Simon has prepared a buffet party in his villa in downtown Scarborough. Everyone in the crew can go as long as there are no other arrangements tonight.
Before that, I didn't expect to be invited by Simon westero. It was a rare opportunity. How could people have other arrangements? Some people tried to find out if they could bring their companions with them. After getting a positive reply, they even called New York directly.
It's certainly too late for Los Angeles, but it's 500 kilometers from New York to Toronto, and it's still possible to hire a private plane to come here.
How many people in Hollywood can't ask for the opportunity to meet Simon westero face to face? Of course, they should seize it. The longer you stay in this circle, the more you can understand the importance of networking. Maybe it's just a face-to-face meeting or a conversation, which will leave an impression on others. Unconsciously, opportunities will come.
People are different, of course.
Simon westero's network is too thick to be further thick. If it can be connected, the other party can throw out some resources at will, which can make people prosperous.
So, in two hours, from five o'clock at the end of the show to seven o'clock at the beginning of the evening buffet, two private planes from New York flew to Toronto specially for the dinner, one arranged by wma and the other by ICM.
As for the tripartite CAA, we can only say regret.
In the current project, the director Brett Ratner and the heroine Elizabeth Perkins belong to wma. The hero George Clooney is from ICM, and most of the other supporting roles are from these two families. CAA, which gathered a large number of Hollywood stars in the 1980s, has been on the decline in recent years with the rise of Denise entertainment group, which has always been reluctant to use big brands, and some initial discord.
Just as the actors' Union is divided into two parts: the east coast and the west coast, Hollywood's three talent agencies also have two headquarters in the east coast and the west coast. The distribution of their artists is also the same. It's easy to gather a group of people to go to the dinner party in a short time.
The venue for the dinner is another Simon Property near Red River Park in the eastern suburb of Scarborough. After the crew finished work, Simon returned to the property nearby for a short rest. He received a phone call from Jonathan Friedman in Los Angeles to see if he would mind if the buffet would be more lively.
Simon didn't expect that a casual dinner party would turn out to be like this. Since Jonathon called, he would certainly give a favor. He agreed and told Zoe and Isabel, who were in charge of the preparation of the dinner party, to increase the amount of food.
At seven o'clock in the evening it was completely dark.
Because of the recent snowfall, the night temperature in Toronto is lower than minus 10 degrees. However, all the guests who came to the buffet party in succession were dressed up. The original dinner for only 20 people has more than doubled, and it is estimated that there will be more than 70 people.
In fact, wma and ICM are not without reasons.
A large number of recent blockbuster projects of danielis entertainment group are in the preparatory stage, and opportunities are everywhere.
Although danielis Entertainment Group is very strict in the selection of movie roles, it is difficult to make a decision after a meal and a sleep as it used to be, as long as it has a good foundation, it can show its face in front of westrow at this time, and enter the final round of the selection in the future, it will definitely get bonus points.
What's more, Simon is not an inhumane person. When the time comes, make a phone call and say, do you still remember XXX at the Toronto dinner party? After a few words, maybe it will be settled.
This time, the heroine Elizabeth Perkins in this man from earth was won by Jonathan Friedman.
Of course, Elizabeth Perkins' deep acting qualification is also the most basic premise. This 34 year old actress with excellent appearance and temperament is not only a standard drama academy background, but also has more than 10 years of Broadway and Hollywood acting experience. She has also participated in blockbusters such as "flying over the future", which is the basis for the other party to get the role.If Jonathan Friedman recommends a vase with no acting skills, it may be too much fun for him to do so.
On the other hand, actors with Elisabeth Perkins' qualifications are also very popular in Hollywood, where there are more than 200000 members of the professional actors' Union. When they have enough qualifications, the factor of social network is very important.
It's seven o'clock sharp.
The villas next to the Red River Park are full of people.
Although the share of buffet dinner has been increased temporarily, and chefs cook for us on the spot, most people on the spot don't pay attention to what they eat.
Simon didn't expect that Nancy Josephson, the daughter of Marvin Josephson, the founder of ICM, also came here. This Hollywood female agent, who is already the vice president of ICM, will be in charge of ICM in the next few years, which is very popular in the Hollywood actor circle. Nancy Josephson also brought Johnny Depp, whom she held up in person.
After the greetings, I learned that Johnny Depp happened to be in New York to take part in the recording of NBC's "Saturday night live". The purpose is to give Depp and Pete's "night visit to the vampire" another boost and push the vampire film to break through the threshold of 100 million yuan.
In the villa hall.
After a few words of conversation, Nancy Josephson said directly, "Simon, danielis and MGM are working on the movie" spy ", what do you think of Depp trying it out?"
Simon was about to bring a glass of red wine to his mouth. He thought about Captain Jack playing Jason Bourne. He shook his head and said, "the image of John is not suitable. Nancy, you should know better than me what kind of film he is suitable for."
Nancy looked at Depp with disappointed expression and didn't give up: "John is famous for his role in" dragon and tiger youth team ". I think he can hold up the style of action movie. Simon, how about arranging an audition?"
"Don't mention it, Nancy. John is a very talented actor. I hope we can work together in the future. However, he's not suitable for spy film. There's no need to waste time," Simon said. Suddenly he thought of one thing and asked Nancy, "by the way, what's Bolton doing recently?"
Burton is a very common surname in the United States, but Nancy Josephson reacted immediately. Simon's reference to Burton is naturally Tim Burton who worked with Depp on Edward Scissorhands.
Just rejected by Simon, Nancy's feelings about Tim Burton are inevitably complicated.
Before Edward Scissorhands, Johnny Depp was just a TV geek who had just gained a firm foothold in the performing industry by relying on the "dragon and tiger youth team" series. If he wanted to develop into the film industry, he could only play in such youth horror films as the "ghost Street" series, but he was not an absolute male leading role.
It can be said that a film "Edward Scissorhands" has directly changed Depp from a TV buff to a movie buff, but at the same time, the negative effect is also very obvious. The artistic atmosphere of "Edward Scissorhands" is too strong, which has directly shaped Depp's big screen image. In recent years, Depp has only been involved in the circle of literary and art films. Even this opportunity of "visiting the vampire at night" is also seen by David Geffen《 Edward Scissorhands, only reluctantly recognized.
Because it's all non-human.
Although after Edward Scissorhands, he has successively appeared in such literary films as Arizona dream and different sky, neither Depp nor Nancy Josephson wants to follow the literary and artistic path all the time, and the best-selling commercial film is the king.
If possible, Nancy Josephson does not want Depp to continue to work with Burton, so as not to be completely stereotyped by Depp's strong personal style.
However, when Simon asked, Nancy Josephson could not fail to respond.
Tim Burton is not in the charge of Nancy Josephson. However, because of the cooperative relationship between Johnny Depp and Tim Burton, the two sides have a very good friendship in private. As for Burton's trend, Nancy Josephson said quickly after thinking about it: "he is currently supervising a Disney animated reality combined with fantasy film, named《 It seems that there is no new directing project for the moment
So Nancy Josephson immediately went a step further: "Mr. westrow, if you're interested in Burton, I can arrange a meeting for you. How about tomorrow? It's just the weekend?"
Even if she doesn't want Depp to play in Burton's films again, Nancy Josephson doesn't mind promoting the cooperation between ICM filmmakers and Simon westero.
Hollywood history has changed a lot because of Simon.
One of the biggest influences is Tim Burton.
The filmmaker with a strong personal style should have become one of the hottest super directors in Hollywood in the 1990s with Michael Keaton's version of Batman. However, the birth of DC movie universe series led by danielis entertainment group completely changed Bolton's fate.
Although Tim Burton is still one of Hollywood's best-selling directors relying on films such as "beetle juice", "Edward Scissorhands" and "Christmas Eve horror", he is far less successful than he used to be.Simon smiles. I didn't expect that this woman is so good at playing snake with stick, which is probably the most basic accomplishment of an excellent agent.
Simon said, "it's a meeting, but I just saw a project recently, which should be very suitable for Burton to direct Washington Irving's sleepy valley legend. Nancy, do you know?"
Nancy Josephson shook her head honestly.
Simon didn't mind either, and said, "you can let Burton read the novel first, and if he's interested, we'll have a chat."
Nancy Josephson nodded without hesitation and said, "OK, Simon, I'll tell Tim."
Simon's temporary project is Tim Burton's guillotine.
Simon doesn't like Burton's Batman Series very much, but he has seen "guillotine Valley" many times. Every frame of this horror film can be used as wallpaper. It shows the aesthetics of Burton style movies incisively and vividly, which is so beautiful that people are intoxicated.
the budget cost of "guillotine Valley" in memory is more than 100 million, and the global box office is only more than 200 million The film industry needs to operate in the later stage to recover the cost. However, for a piece of art, even at a loss, Simon is very willing to invest in shooting it.
Nancy Josephson still didn't go away, but motioned to Johnny Depp to talk to other people. When the other person walked away, she motioned to a girl who was chatting with Hugh Grant and Elizabeth Holly not far away, and then sold again: "Simon, what do you think of Macon in the movie" baby thunderbolt "? She's 24 years old and has played in David Lynch's "two peaks" and some other good movies. She's very malleable
Nancy Josephson means Macon amik.
The actress became famous for her role in David Lynch's "bimodal town". It is said that several of the actresses in this TV series are very beautiful and impressive.
As a matter of fact, when Macon Amick, who has been paying attention to the movement here, saw that Simon and Nancy looked at each other, he immediately showed a decent smile and came to them. Looking at Simon, his eyes were full of undisguised amorous feelings and provocation: "Nancy, and, Mr. westrow, what's the matter?"
Simon, like David Finch, is a serious face control. He always has more patience with beautiful women. Seeing that Macon amik is discharging himself, he smiles and says, "just call me Simon. Macon, Nancy just recommended you to play" baby thunderbolt. "
Macon Amick's eyes suddenly lit up and looked forward: "well, Wei Simon, do you think I can give it a try? "
Simon said, "I've seen snake and scorpion lover. It's pretty good. However, the launch of "Thunderbolt baby" may be a little late. If you are interested, you can come to the audition at that time. "
Macon Amick didn't expect that the man in front of her would have seen "snake and scorpion lover" starring James Spade. You know, this is a very commercial failure. It was invested by baolijin and registered in the North American cinema in the first half of the year. It was released by independent film maker Gramsci pictures. The North American box office was only 250000 US dollars.
Although she has gained some fame by virtue of bimodal Town, when it comes to coffee, Macon amik is barely second-line at present. In recent years, she has only starred in a few low-cost small production films. If it is not for today's occasion, Nancy Josephson thinks that she may be expected to compete for the role in "Thunderbolt baby" and is not qualified to attend the dinner.
It's not a short time to be in Hollywood. When I heard that a man said she could go to the audition, my excitement cooled down a lot.
Simon said that, but he didn't say anything.
After glancing at Nancy, she suddenly thought that she would slightly lower her head and sip the red wine in her glass. Without hesitation, Macon Amick came up to the man and rubbed her arm against Simon intentionally or unintentionally: "Simon, maybe we can go upstairs and have a talk alone, can't we?"
Simon smiles and shakes his head: "there are still many guests here. It's not convenient to leave now."
So without waiting for Macon amik to be disappointed, Simon had already raised his hand to catch the girl's chin: "but if you want to, I'll call you if you have time."
Instead of being dissatisfied with the man's sudden frivolity, and not paying attention to the strange look that must be cast around her, she raised her delicate face slightly to play with the man: "that's settled, Simon. I'll wait for your call."
Simon finally pinched the girl's chin, took back his hand and said, "but then, you still can't get the role of" Thunderbolt baby ". What should you do?"
"It's my pleasure to have an appointment with Simon westroth," she said with a smile
"You're very smart," Simon said with a smile, gesturing to the buffet table not far away. "Have a good time. Besides, the chef tonight is very good. You can try it."
So Simon turned and walked away.
Macon Amick watched Hugh Grant and Elizabeth Holly stop the man and start talking to each other. After a moment, he looked back at Nancy, who had not gone away, and asked, "Nancy, do you think I can get the part?"Nancy Josephson shook her head slightly. "It's hard to say that the most important thing about westrow is beautiful women. He may forget you tomorrow morning."
"Ah?"
Nancy was a little unconvinced when she saw her mouth slightly open. She said, "beautiful women always overestimate themselves, but I think you should be clear about your acting skills. You are still a little short of getting the role of" Thunderbolt baby ". It's not up to you who you want to have sex with to decide a blockbuster of this level
Perceiving that Nancy was not dead, Macon amik asked, "well, what should I do?"
Nancy said with a smile: "I think Simon just hinted that" baby thunderbolt "won't start soon. This is your chance. My suggestion is that when you go back this time, you need to take some intensive performance courses. It's better to add physical training, fighting and so on. "Thunderbolt baby" is an action movie, which requires very high physical fitness for actresses. "
"Is that ok?" hesitated Macon amik
Nancy glanced at each other and said, "think of Valerie Gallino and Nicole Kidman, who are more pure female blockbusters than DC's universe project. Simon westero is still in charge. If you are successful, you will become a leading star who is as famous as those actresses. If you can't get the role, it's a pity. According to your current position, the best way out is to find a man with rich wealth to marry off. You've just made an impression with Simon, so this is your closest chance to success, either shining or unknown. "
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!

Nancy glanced at each other and said, "think of Valerie Gallino and Nicole Kidman, who are more pure female blockbusters than DC's universe project. Simon westero is still in charge. If you are successful, you will become a leading star who is as famous as those actresses. If you can't get the role, it's a pity. According to your current position, the best way out is to find a man with rich wealth to marry off. You've just made an impression with Simon, so this is your closest chance to success, either shining or unknown. "
As a movie with most scenes in a single room, "this man from Earth" has more than two weeks of shooting cycle. If it's not for the sake of perfection, it can be done in one week. Simon arrived at the Toronto set, and the film was already more than half finished. Brett Ratner is a MV director. He is not suitable for directing such a drama movie. Simon hopes that he can get rid of the bad habits of many MV directors who are filmmakers by virtue of a variety of films. New World Pictures has got Jack Cheng's "red zone" and is expected to release in February next year. After that, "rush hour" series will be included in Simon's production list. This time, Simon is not going to let Brett Ratner direct the "rush hour" series as he once did. He wants to give the more important "Thunderbolt baby" series to each other. The shooting site is located on the outskirts of Scarborough, Eastern Toronto. Simon arrived at two o'clock in the afternoon and watched the shooting until it was finished at five o'clock in the afternoon. Although he didn't intervene or even express any opinions during the shooting, because of his arrival, everyone in the crew was obviously a little nervous, and only half of the set shooting task was completed. In the middle of winter, five o'clock is already in the evening. Simon has prepared a buffet party in his villa in downtown Scarborough. Everyone in the crew can go as long as there are no other arrangements tonight. Before that, I didn't expect to be invited by Simon westero. It was a rare opportunity. How could people have other arrangements? Some people tried to find out if they could bring their companions with them. After getting a positive reply, they even called New York directly. It's certainly too late for Los Angeles, but it's 500 kilometers from New York to Toronto, and it's still possible to hire a private plane to come here. How many people in Hollywood can't ask for the opportunity to meet Simon westero face to face? Of course, they should seize it. The longer you stay in this circle, the more you can understand the importance of networking. Maybe it's just a face-to-face meeting or a conversation, which will leave an impression on others. Unconsciously, opportunities will come. People are different, of course. Simon westero's network is too thick to be further thick. If it can be connected, the other party can throw out some resources at will, which can make people prosperous. So, in two hours, from five o'clock at the end of the show to seven o'clock at the beginning of the evening buffet, two private planes from New York flew to Toronto specially for the dinner, one arranged by wma and the other by ICM. As for the tripartite CAA, we can only say regret. In the current project, the director Brett Ratner and the heroine Elizabeth Perkins belong to wma. The hero George Clooney is from ICM, and most of the other supporting roles are from these two families. CAA, which gathered a large number of Hollywood stars in the 1980s, has been on the decline in recent years with the rise of Denise entertainment group, which has always been reluctant to use big brands, and some initial discord. Just as the actors' Union is divided into two parts: the east coast and the west coast, Hollywood's three talent agencies also have two headquarters in the east coast and the west coast. The distribution of their artists is also the same. It's easy to gather a group of people to go to the dinner party in a short time. The venue for the dinner is another Simon Property near Red River Park in the eastern suburb of Scarborough. After the crew finished work, Simon returned to the property nearby for a short rest. He received a phone call from Jonathan Friedman in Los Angeles to see if he would mind if the buffet would be more lively. Simon didn't expect that a casual dinner party would turn out to be like this. Since Jonathon called, he would certainly give a favor. He agreed and told Zoe and Isabel, who were in charge of the preparation of the dinner party, to increase the amount of food. At seven o'clock in the evening it was completely dark. Because of the recent snowfall, the night temperature in Toronto is lower than minus 10 degrees. However, all the guests who came to the buffet party in succession were dressed up. The original dinner for only 20 people has more than doubled, and it is estimated that there will be more than 70 people. In fact, wma and ICM are not without reasons. A large number of recent blockbuster projects of danielis entertainment group are in the preparatory stage, and opportunities are everywhere. Although danielis Entertainment Group is very strict in the selection of movie roles, it is difficult to make a decision after a meal and a sleep as it used to be, as long as it has a good foundation, it can show its face in front of westrow at this time, and enter the final round of the selection in the future, it will definitely get bonus points. What's more, Simon is not an inhumane person. When the time comes, make a phone call and say, do you still remember XXX at the Toronto dinner party? After a few words, maybe it will be settled. This time, the heroine Elizabeth Perkins in this man from earth was won by Jonathan Friedman. Of course, Elizabeth Perkins' deep acting qualification is also the most basic premise. This 34 year old actress with excellent appearance and temperament is not only a standard drama academy background, but also has more than 10 years of Broadway and Hollywood acting experience. She has also participated in blockbusters such as "flying over the future", which is the basis for the other party to get the role.If Jonathan Friedman recommends a vase with no acting skills, it may be too much fun for him to do so. On the other hand, actors with Elisabeth Perkins' qualifications are also very popular in Hollywood, where there are more than 200000 members of the professional actors' Union. When they have enough qualifications, the factor of social network is very important. It's seven o'clock sharp. The villas next to the Red River Park are full of people. Although the share of buffet dinner has been increased temporarily, and chefs cook for us on the spot, most people on the spot don't pay attention to what they eat. Simon didn't expect that Nancy Josephson, the daughter of Marvin Josephson, the founder of ICM, also came here. This Hollywood female agent, who is already the vice president of ICM, will be in charge of ICM in the next few years, which is very popular in the Hollywood actor circle. Nancy Josephson also brought Johnny Depp, whom she held up in person. After the greetings, I learned that Johnny Depp happened to be in New York to take part in the recording of NBC's "Saturday night live". The purpose is to give Depp and Pete's "night visit to the vampire" another boost and push the vampire film to break through the threshold of 100 million yuan. In the villa hall. After a few words of conversation, Nancy Josephson said directly, "Simon, danielis and MGM are working on the movie" spy ", what do you think of Depp trying it out?" Simon was about to bring a glass of red wine to his mouth. He thought about Captain Jack playing Jason Bourne. He shook his head and said, "the image of John is not suitable. Nancy, you should know better than me what kind of film he is suitable for." Nancy looked at Depp with disappointed expression and didn't give up: "John is famous for his role in" dragon and tiger youth team ". I think he can hold up the style of action movie. Simon, how about arranging an audition?" "Don't mention it, Nancy. John is a very talented actor. I hope we can work together in the future. However, he's not suitable for spy film. There's no need to waste time," Simon said. Suddenly he thought of one thing and asked Nancy, "by the way, what's Bolton doing recently?" Burton is a very common surname in the United States, but Nancy Josephson reacted immediately. Simon's reference to Burton is naturally Tim Burton who worked with Depp on Edward Scissorhands. Just rejected by Simon, Nancy's feelings about Tim Burton are inevitably complicated. Before Edward Scissorhands, Johnny Depp was just a TV geek who had just gained a firm foothold in the performing industry by relying on the "dragon and tiger youth team" series. If he wanted to develop into the film industry, he could only play in such youth horror films as the "ghost Street" series, but he was not an absolute male leading role. It can be said that a film "Edward Scissorhands" has directly changed Depp from a TV buff to a movie buff, but at the same time, the negative effect is also very obvious. The artistic atmosphere of "Edward Scissorhands" is too strong, which has directly shaped Depp's big screen image. In recent years, Depp has only been involved in the circle of literary and art films. Even this opportunity of "visiting the vampire at night" is also seen by David Geffen Edward Scissorhands, only reluctantly recognized. Because it's all non-human. Although after Edward Scissorhands, he has successively appeared in such literary films as Arizona dream and different sky, neither Depp nor Nancy Josephson wants to follow the literary and artistic path all the time, and the best-selling commercial film is the king. If possible, Nancy Josephson does not want Depp to continue to work with Burton, so as not to be completely stereotyped by Depp's strong personal style. However, when Simon asked, Nancy Josephson could not fail to respond. Tim Burton is not in the charge of Nancy Josephson. However, because of the cooperative relationship between Johnny Depp and Tim Burton, the two sides have a very good friendship in private. As for Burton's trend, Nancy Josephson said quickly after thinking about it: "he is currently supervising a Disney animated reality combined with fantasy film, named It seems that there is no new directing project for the moment So Nancy Josephson immediately went a step further: "Mr. westrow, if you're interested in Burton, I can arrange a meeting for you. How about tomorrow? It's just the weekend?" Even if she doesn't want Depp to play in Burton's films again, Nancy Josephson doesn't mind promoting the cooperation between ICM filmmakers and Simon westero. Hollywood history has changed a lot because of Simon. One of the biggest influences is Tim Burton. The filmmaker with a strong personal style should have become one of the hottest super directors in Hollywood in the 1990s with Michael Keaton's version of Batman. However, the birth of DC movie universe series led by danielis entertainment group completely changed Bolton's fate. Although Tim Burton is still one of Hollywood's best-selling directors relying on films such as "beetle juice", "Edward Scissorhands" and "Christmas Eve horror", he is far less successful than he used to be.Simon smiles. I didn't expect that this woman is so good at playing snake with stick, which is probably the most basic accomplishment of an excellent agent. Simon said, "it's a meeting, but I just saw a project recently, which should be very suitable for Burton to direct Washington Irving's sleepy valley legend. Nancy, do you know?" Nancy Josephson shook her head honestly. Simon didn't mind either, and said, "you can let Burton read the novel first, and if he's interested, we'll have a chat." Nancy Josephson nodded without hesitation and said, "OK, Simon, I'll tell Tim." Simon's temporary project is Tim Burton's guillotine. Simon doesn't like Burton's Batman Series very much, but he has seen "guillotine Valley" many times. Every frame of this horror film can be used as wallpaper. It shows the aesthetics of Burton style movies incisively and vividly, which is so beautiful that people are intoxicated. the budget cost of "guillotine Valley" in memory is more than 100 million, and the global box office is only more than 200 million The film industry needs to operate in the later stage to recover the cost. However, for a piece of art, even at a loss, Simon is very willing to invest in shooting it. Nancy Josephson still didn't go away, but motioned to Johnny Depp to talk to other people. When the other person walked away, she motioned to a girl who was chatting with Hugh Grant and Elizabeth Holly not far away, and then sold again: "Simon, what do you think of Macon in the movie" baby thunderbolt "? She's 24 years old and has played in David Lynch's "two peaks" and some other good movies. She's very malleable Nancy Josephson means Macon amik. The actress became famous for her role in David Lynch's "bimodal town". It is said that several of the actresses in this TV series are very beautiful and impressive. As a matter of fact, when Macon Amick, who has been paying attention to the movement here, saw that Simon and Nancy looked at each other, he immediately showed a decent smile and came to them. Looking at Simon, his eyes were full of undisguised amorous feelings and provocation: "Nancy, and, Mr. westrow, what's the matter?" Simon, like David Finch, is a serious face control. He always has more patience with beautiful women. Seeing that Macon amik is discharging himself, he smiles and says, "just call me Simon. Macon, Nancy just recommended you to play" baby thunderbolt. " Macon Amick's eyes suddenly lit up and looked forward: "well, Wei Simon, do you think I can give it a try? " Simon said, "I've seen snake and scorpion lover. It's pretty good. However, the launch of "Thunderbolt baby" may be a little late. If you are interested, you can come to the audition at that time. " Macon Amick didn't expect that the man in front of her would have seen "snake and scorpion lover" starring James Spade. You know, this is a very commercial failure. It was invested by baolijin and registered in the North American cinema in the first half of the year. It was released by independent film maker Gramsci pictures. The North American box office was only 250000 US dollars. Although she has gained some fame by virtue of bimodal Town, when it comes to coffee, Macon amik is barely second-line at present. In recent years, she has only starred in a few low-cost small production films. If it is not for today's occasion, Nancy Josephson thinks that she may be expected to compete for the role in "Thunderbolt baby" and is not qualified to attend the dinner. It's not a short time to be in Hollywood. When I heard that a man said she could go to the audition, my excitement cooled down a lot. Simon said that, but he didn't say anything. After glancing at Nancy, she suddenly thought that she would slightly lower her head and sip the red wine in her glass. Without hesitation, Macon Amick came up to the man and rubbed her arm against Simon intentionally or unintentionally: "Simon, maybe we can go upstairs and have a talk alone, can't we?" Simon smiles and shakes his head: "there are still many guests here. It's not convenient to leave now." So without waiting for Macon amik to be disappointed, Simon had already raised his hand to catch the girl's chin: "but if you want to, I'll call you if you have time." Instead of being dissatisfied with the man's sudden frivolity, and not paying attention to the strange look that must be cast around her, she raised her delicate face slightly to play with the man: "that's settled, Simon. I'll wait for your call." Simon finally pinched the girl's chin, took back his hand and said, "but then, you still can't get the role of" Thunderbolt baby ". What should you do?" "It's my pleasure to have an appointment with Simon westroth," she said with a smile "You're very smart," Simon said with a smile, gesturing to the buffet table not far away. "Have a good time. Besides, the chef tonight is very good. You can try it." So Simon turned and walked away. Macon Amick watched Hugh Grant and Elizabeth Holly stop the man and start talking to each other. After a moment, he looked back at Nancy, who had not gone away, and asked, "Nancy, do you think I can get the part?"Nancy Josephson shook her head slightly. "It's hard to say that the most important thing about westrow is beautiful women. He may forget you tomorrow morning." "Ah?" Nancy was a little unconvinced when she saw her mouth slightly open. She said, "beautiful women always overestimate themselves, but I think you should be clear about your acting skills. You are still a little short of getting the role of" Thunderbolt baby ". It's not up to you who you want to have sex with to decide a blockbuster of this level Perceiving that Nancy was not dead, Macon amik asked, "well, what should I do?" Nancy said with a smile: "I think Simon just hinted that" baby thunderbolt "won't start soon. This is your chance. My suggestion is that when you go back this time, you need to take some intensive performance courses. It's better to add physical training, fighting and so on. "Thunderbolt baby" is an action movie, which requires very high physical fitness for actresses. " "Is that ok?" hesitated Macon amik Nancy glanced at each other and said, "think of Valerie Gallino and Nicole Kidman, who are more pure female blockbusters than DC's universe project. Simon westero is still in charge. If you are successful, you will become a leading star who is as famous as those actresses. If you can't get the role, it's a pity. According to your current position, the best way out is to find a man with rich wealth to marry off. You've just made an impression with Simon, so this is your closest chance to success, either shining or unknown. "
