Chapter 135: The Forest is Everywhere
Ten minutes ago, London's West End.
It's afternoon here, and the movie theater is doing an interview with Romeo and Juliet, which is very simple, move a few folding chairs in front of the curtain, and the main creator of the crew sits, accepting questions from reporters in the audience, some film critics, media people, and other audience members who bought tickets to enter the theater.
"I've loved Shakespeare's plays since I was a child, and since I entered Hollywood, I've been rehearsing Shakespeare's plays with my friends in small theaters, Romeo and Juliet, Twelfth Night......"
Amy is dressed very intellectually today, showing off her figure in a solid-color skinny cardigan with a decorative scarf, holding a microphone in her hand, and talking freely.
"Uh, I have a question for Leonardo DiCaprio......"
After she answered, an audience member in the back row was picked, and Amy handed the microphone to Xiao Lizi, "Do you have any plans to work with British actresses?" The male audience member asked.
"Of course, I was filming the Titanic with Kate Winslet...... Next year, uh...... Maybe you'll see ...... next year."
Xiao Lizi replied.
Baz Luhrman, a writer, director, producer and investor sitting in the middle, was a little unhappy that the topic was pulled off, and he frowned slightly when he saw Amy's agent sneak out from behind the curtain and whisper to her.
"What?" Amy didn't understand what the co-broker meant.
"APLUS asked you not to respond to any questions about him for a while."
The agent repeated it and showed her the phone.
From now on, don't respond to any questions about me to reporters for the time being. ’
Amy saw the text message on the screen and nodded, "OK, I see." ”
The agent slipped back the way he came.
It's not normal, she was a little worried about APLUS, but she could only keep smiling, fortunately, most of the questions on the scene were given to Xiao Lizi, who was so eye-catching in this movie.
Amy also knows that the media on the British side does not treat her very well, in addition to the yin and yang weird Baz Luhrman's adaptation of the modern background of Shakespeare's classics, it is also generally believed that the heroine should choose an actress from a British professional class, and put forward a lot of suitable candidates for Xiao Lizi to match, and she has few good words about herself.
Worrying seems to be superfluous, in fact, no one asks questions about their relationship with APLUS, which is what only the most unscrupulous tabloids in the United States love to do. After surviving the interview, she immediately hid in the bathroom and called APLUS, showing that the mobile phone was turned off, and called Hayden, who was also the agent of the two, but she was not contacted, and Hayden seemed to have gone to Oceania.
"Miss Addams?" The propaganda staff was not satisfied with her slip number, so they came over to urge.
"I'm sorry."
She had to go back to the viewing hall, the leading actor was signing autographs to the audience, Xiao Lizi's many female fans were queuing, and as soon as she appeared, some male fans surrounded her with posters.
"Thank you, thank you...... Nice to see you. ”
It's been more than two years since I danced the first part of my life in '94, and she's familiar with this kind of occasion.
The order was a little chaotic for a few minutes, and soon the lights dimmed, and the movie began to show, and she sat in the front row and silently watched the finished film I don't know how many times she had seen.
Distraught, about halfway through the movie, a man squatted at the feet of the audience behind her with no etiquette, his mouth almost touching her ear, "Miss Adams, I heard that APLUS was just arrested in Chicago, you know what?" ”
Under arrest!?
She looked back in shock, "Really? ”
The man was dressed in a dirty jacket, with eyes that glittered with excitement and aggression, staring at himself as if he were seeing a treasure and smiling greedily, the standard British paparazzi, "Of course ......"
She immediately came to her senses and turned her head, "Sorry, I don't answer irrelevant questions. ”
"Hey, hey, you ......"
"Shh
When the paparazzi asked the next question, Bazluchman looked over in displeasure and made a gesture of silence.
"Hehe, if you want to talk, call this number."
The paparazzi dropped a business card before being chased away by the theater staff.
"I'm sorry, Director." Amy threw her business card directly on the floor.
"It's the illegal trade case at the previous congressional hearing, and APLUS just went to the police station and turned himself in."
After the event, the startups gathered in the office inside the theater for a short rest, and her agent had learned the latest news from the United States.
"Turn yourself in? Will he go to jail? Amy panicked even more.
"Be quiet." The agent is not far away, Xiao Lizi is also chatting with his agent, the two men are talking and laughing, and from time to time they look at themselves, Xiao Lizi's eyes don't seem to be right, a little gloating? And a little bit of a lust.
"There is a dinner in the evening, and many well-known film media and film critics in the UK will be there, so you are not allowed to be absent!"
After nearly two weeks of release, the 15 million production cost of Romeo and Juliet's modern chapter will definitely be hundreds of millions of dollars at the global box office, Baz Luckman was a great success in Hollywood for the first time, and his authority is now unquestionable, perhaps because he is dissatisfied with the behavior of the male and female protagonists during the announcement, he came over in a bad tone and ordered sternly.
Amy and Xiao Lizi obediently agreed, they have pounced on a lot of projects in the past two years, and they are still very grateful to Baz Luhrman for being able to turn over this film in one fell swoop.
"So...... See you in the evening, Amy. ”
Xiao Lizi walked over and hugged her, kissed her earlobe very much beyond the boundaries of previous relationships when kissing, and then stared affectionately and said with his eyes discharged: "Actually, there are some things I have wanted to say to you for a long time, I ...... Actually, I've liked you since a long time ago, remember? At the time of the dance of my life audition, we ......"
What do you mean? After APLUS's bad luck, you finally dared to show your true form and tease me? See the little white face of the wind turning the rudder! The more Amy thought about it, the more unhappy she became, and she didn't know where her temper came from.
"Whew!"
Xiao Lizi covered her crotch in pain and jumped on the spot.
"I ...... I'm a little uncomfortable, you can help me keep an eye on it today. ”
Xue Linfen also encountered a similar situation on the set of Apu's main story, Jared Leto, who was filming the game scene, was running laps in the stadium, hundreds of group performances and more realistic dummies were about to fill the stands on one side, the scene was very big, she was too busy to care about anything else, the text message was received, but because the reporter couldn't come to the set, she called Hamlin to ask about the situation and then temporarily threw it aside and continued to be busy with work.
After about ten minutes, she began to feel that the rest of the crew continued to pay attention to her, and some of the main creators also took advantage of the filming to get together and whisper.
She couldn't stand this weird atmosphere, and in a trance, she seemed to go back to what happened to other crews when she auditioned after filming a stolen moon in the late eighties, and she guessed that the main creators who usually showed respect to themselves would not have anything good in their mouths now.
I had to leave the matter to the director, pack up and prepare to go back to the hotel to rest and avoid the limelight.
When riding in an electric golf cart with her agent, Tim, she also saw Mira and Hallie, two women with their hands folded around their chests, looking at each other with serious expressions, as if they were also waiting for the car.
"Want to hitchhike?" In the past, both sides would not see it, at most they would say hello without being salty or light, but this time Xue Linfen took the initiative to invite.
"Thank you."
Mira and Hallie, both with sassy short hair, are not women who like to twist, and they just run over and jump into the car.
The car used on the set for silence was small, with three women crammed into the back seat, shoulder to shoulder.
"Don't you need to film today?" Xue Linfen looked for a topic and asked Mila beside her.
"There were suddenly rumors in the crew that the male lead would be changed, and there were also rumors that A+ Film Studio was planning to withdraw its investment, but now it is a mess, and Old Larry gave us a holiday." Mira replied.
"The reason why there are too many young people." Xue Linfen rolled her eyes, showing that she had seen everything.
"You...... Is it hard? Mira suddenly pointed to her stomach.
"I don't think I'll get used to it once I have an experience." Xue Linfen touched her stomach and replied.
"Can I touch it?" Harry's hand stretched across the meter.
At the same time, in the Illinois governor's office, the television was replaying the scene in front of the police station.
Seeing Diane Lockhard smiling and walking in front of the mink APLUS, the reporter's flash illuminated the old woman's face a miserable white, Alicia was about to go crazy with jealousy, and complained to the nominal governor's husband: "If it weren't for your wife, it should be me who appeared there now." ”
"Hey, hey, hey......," Eli, the chief of staff in the office, laughed behind the two.
"You deserve to be part of the fantasy lawyers." Peter put his arms around his wife flatteringly.
"Damn it!" Alicia broke free.
"Hmph." Peter's face froze, "I heard that the executives of APLUS's companies have a lot of opinions about your law firm?" ”
"America, Argus just lost a lawsuit that should have been simple." Alicia replied.
"Argus is strong in criminal prosecution and has half the capacity to leave Chicago."
Peter sneered, "Who is your little law firm reused by APLUS because of whom, I want to remind you not to forget this." ”
"Gas!"
Alicia also knew that the governorship without this husband might not work, but on the surface she refused to fall behind, and forced a sneer.
"This is persecution!"
“love and peace!”
At this time, APLUS turned around and shouted at the entrance of the police station, which was unanimously heckled and applauded by the reporters present.
It's the thick and long mink fur on the collar of his coat that gets in the way, blocking half of his face, and there are two police officers in the background who are trying to clamp him on the left and right, which makes him a little embarrassed when he appears in the news.
Alicia unconsciously remembered some past events in her mind, and stroked her professional skirt with her hand.
"He'll be released on bail soon, probably...... Nine hours later. Eli said, glancing at his watch.
"Who's going to care about you? Narcissist! ”
Shakira, who is in Latin America, also received a text message, looking at the name labeled 'scum' below the name, 'Don't respond to reporters about me for the time being. The word, she deleted it casually after spitting out.
However, it was not long before the agent Estéphine received more detailed information.
He ...... Will he be okay? Mr. Estéphine. Shakira asked the agent.
"I don't know, but that kind of crime...... You know, Sugnette was sentenced to nine years for just violating the bail agreement. Estéphine replied with a frown.
"So he'll probably be in prison for the rest of his life!?"
It was a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and Shakira's tears suddenly swirled in her eyes.
"It's possible, but the lawsuit has to be fought, and he will be released on bail first, and then spend a lot of time running the court and a series of court offenses and defenses."
Estéphine judged based on his own experience, "This time he estimated that he would spend tens of millions of lawyer fees, which should be useful." ”
"So he'll be fine?"
"I can't say it, you must know that Sugnett also spent a lot of money to hire a lawyer." Estéphine replied.
"Can you arrange for me to go to the United States in the near future? I think...... Should he stay in Chicago while on bail? Shakira asked again.
"Alas!"
Estéphine glanced at the short girl in front of her, "Okay, but I'll keep an eye on him when he's released on bail." ”
