Two hundred and ninetieth eight chapters dark battle
Just after seeing off Gal Gadot, Murphy received a call from Bill Roses. A movie private equity fund that was established some time ago. When he heard the financing news of the project that Caa had specially released, he just contacted him and was interested in investing in "The Lost Lover" and wanted to meet him as the director and project planner.
Of course, Murphy would not refuse, and asked Bill Roses to determine the time and place of meeting with the other party as soon as possible.
After several phone calls, nearly an hour later, Murphy and the head of the movie private equity fund decided to meet in Century City in the afternoon.
Among them, Bill Roses' active contact played an important role, and Caa's work efficiency has always been known for its high efficiency.
Then Murphy hung up another phone call to Gal Gadot. She had already arrived at Rodel Street and was having coffee with Natalie Portman.
In a cafe on Rodel Street, Gal Gadot hooked up his cell phone.
Natalie Portman, who was sitting opposite, left the script in his hand, turned to Gal Gadot, "Murphy?"
"Well..." Gal Gadot nodded slightly, "He will talk to the head of a private equity fund in the afternoon about investment and ask me to go back tonight."
"It's just right." Natalie Portman laughed and said intimately, "We haven't seen each other for a long time, so we can take a look for a while."
Gal Gadot pointed to the outside of the cafe, "The premise is that there are not so many paparazzi following."
"As the girlfriend of a popular director," Natalie Portman said deliberately, "Are you not used to it?"
"I guess I will never get used to it." Gal Gadot shrugged.
"It'll be better after a long time." After picking up the coffee, Natalie Portman changed the topic, pointed to the script brought by Gal Gadot, and asked, "You just said Murphy was going to meet investors, is this project?"
"It's it." Gal Gadot put up an arm and raised his chin. "This is Murphy's new project, and he plans to start filming before the end of this year."
"Murphy is really an idea-oriented director." Natalie Portman muttered.
Gal Gadot didn't quite understand what she meant and looked at the opposite side in confusion.
Natalie Portman picked up the script and shook it in front of Gal Gadot, "Don't you think the settings inside are very wonderful? Especially the heroine..."
"I just looked at the beginning." Gal Gadot shrugged slightly, "This kind of story is so dark. I don't like it very much, so I didn't continue to read it."
She asked curiously, "Murphy's scripts are all darker. Is this "The Lost Love" really as good as you said?"
Natalie Portman was obviously interested in this script and said, "This is a script involving multiple levels such as marriage, feelings, media, justice, class and cultural differences, and there are many issues worth discussing."
Gal Gadot looked at Natalie Portman, and said, "Isn't this a love story with dark colors?"
"Is this really a love story?" Natalie immediately gave the answer, "Yes, but not all. Rather than saying it is a love story, it is a female story about a woman's self-growth, destruction and reconstruction."
"Everyone has read this script, and it is estimated that few people like the heroine. Although she is facing the halo of Harvard, omnipotent, excellent and even beautiful goddess, her arrogant, paranoid, neurotic, and crazy and pathological personality is discouraged and she feels chill. She secretly prays to keep such a madman away from her life."
It seems that he was completely attracted by this role. Natalie Portman closed his eyes. If he was playing himself, how should Amy be portrayed? This role will be disgusting, but it will be extremely attractive, especially the contrast between the front and back. It requires explosive power in performance. As long as the director and actor level are guaranteed, the role will naturally make people very, very outstanding.
Isn’t this kind of character that is easy to be outstanding but not very normal? Isn’t it what the old men from the School of Film Arts and Sciences like?
The most important thing is Amy's character setting, this setting is with her...
Thinking of this, Natalie Portman nodded slightly. If she played Amy, she only needed to release her heart and perform her true nature. Such a performance is also the easiest to excel. As long as the director does not make too many mistakes, she can even leave a classic role.
Is the director's level guaranteed? Natalie Portman has watched several other people's movies, and has also read about him from the media. He also has agent Martin Miller who has always been optimistic about him...
All of these can make her make a very clear judgment.
Natalie Portman suddenly became trance, and Gal Gadot gradually saw something, but she didn't care much. She also heard from media reports and Murphy's mouths that some outstanding and pursuing actors were often quite surprising when they met their favorite roles.
After a while, seeing Natalie Portman open her eyes, Gal Gadot looked at her and asked, "Are you interested in the heroine?"
"Well." Natalie Portman nodded without any concealment. "This is the most outstanding role I have seen since playing Padme Amidala."
She closed her eyes again, "This is a woman living in her own world. She is beautiful and charming, has a good family background, and has perfect conditions that others think. She has a clear judgment on herself, so that she believes that even if there is no need to experience it, such remarks that others say, such as 'marriage is to compromise each other, work hard, and then work harder to operate, communicate and compromise, and then have another round of operation', can become her preconceived motto of her marriage life."
Gal Gadot has only read the beginning of the script, and the others are not very clear at all, but in this case, it is still very good to act as a qualified listener.
Natalie Portman continued on her own, "This woman has the ability to convince herself of things that do not exist in a way that is constantly reinforcing in consciousness, and to make it a fact through infinite imagination and concrete practice. The only purpose of her doing this is to revenge, which is derived from inner uneasiness and undeniable jealousy. And when making sacrifices against her will, she will further inspire her ability to reach the explosive point, and at the same time, she gradually regained her original self in the process."
Just by reading the script, this character strongly aroused her emotional resonance. The emotions that were hidden in the deepest by public relations, publicity, performance, and pretending resonated with Amy strongly.
She suddenly felt that with her own abilities and the setting of this character, she could even impact the little golden man!
"Gal!" Natalie Portman opened his eyes, and his emotions that had just fluctuated were instantly calmed down, and he returned to that state of intelligence, wisdom, beauty, generous and kindness. "Can you help me have an appointment with Murphy?"
The Caa where she works is William Morris and Murphy Stanton are direct competitors, and the agent Martin Miller seems to have some misunderstandings with Murphy Stanton. If you take the agent route, it is definitely not the best choice.
However... Natalie Portman glanced at Gal Gadot without a trace. The little girl he met in Jerusalem didn't expect it to be useful.
"Ask Murphy?" Gal Gadot frowned slightly, "You are..."
Natalie Portman didn't hesitate at all, and seemed to be very straightforward to his friends, as if he had no reservations at all, and said very directly, "I like the role of Amy, I want to play the role of Amy."
After saying that, her eyes were wide and round, just like Matilda facing Leon, looking at Gal Gadot with anticipation.
But her mind was turning quickly. This girl from Israel was her admirer and regarded her as a very good friend. She was not old and lacked experience. Although she was precocious and a little clever, she was a standard stupid girl compared to herself.
Natalie Portman is confident. She believes that Gal Gadot will agree in the next second, and will take the initiative to help herself and help her win this role...
"Sorry, Nat." Gal Gadot smiled apologetically, "If it's a character's problem, I can't help you."
"Uh..." Natalie Portman was slightly stunned.
What's going on? Why did she reject herself? Why did she reject herself?
Gal Gadot seems to have no change from the moment, and it seems that he is still a stupid girl who admires and likes the Jewish actress opposite him. He just says something from his mouth, but he has no intention of helping Natalie Portman.
"Murphy doesn't like others interfering in his work." Gal Gadot sighed, looking very sorry. "I am no exception. He will show me what he wrote or photographed, but never like to listen to my advice."
These words are just as true.
Natalie Portman was Natalie Portman after all, and he was stunned for a moment and came back to his senses.
"It's okay." She returned to that perfect look, "I was negligent, I can't be because of this..."
She suddenly increased her tone, "This kind of trivial matter will affect your deep feelings."
Gal Gadot's hand hanging down the table suddenly grabbed the handbag on the chair next to him with force. He had the urge to grab the bag and turn around and leave. He sighed in his heart, he was still too stupid and naive than Murphy, a cunning old fox.
The woman on the other side probably didn't treat her as a friend at all, right? Maybe she was indeed a friend before, but when she refused, the so-called friendship had been thrown away by the other party.
