[Comprehensive] Tom Sue can be summoned by doing enough cannon fodder 99 times

Chapter 50 |

Weinstein recently sued several employees of his company for allegedly leaking trade secrets.

Everyone knows that Alex is going to cooperate with Weinstein in a new film, but due to various reasons, Weinstein has not yet decided to make this project public, and both parties have signed a non-disclosure agreement.

But just last week, the upload of a recording and the exposure of several emails made this agreement useless, and everyone knew the details of the new movie that Alex was about to start shooting. Everything, yes, of course for an Oscar, with Weinstein's help, the content of this film is naturally 100% in line with the tastes of those old academics. He adapted from the autobiographical memories of a Frenchman who lived through World War II, Alex will play a German officer, and his partner is Natalie Portman.

But judging from the content of those few emails, it seems that there are still big problems in this project. First of all, the agent of the actress is arguing endlessly about the salary and the script of the movie. She thinks that the proportion of her own actresses is too small To put it bluntly, this was supposed to be a good script that allowed the actress to shine, so it's not fair, and it even vaguely accused Alex of not giving so many scenes, because his acting skills are not enough to support it.

What's more, the owner of the copyright of this autobiography, Mendes is a writer, and the protagonist of this memoir is her deceased sister, so she will be one of the most qualified to judge the male lead of the movie. In that recording, Mendes was full of dissatisfaction with Alex becoming the leading actor, bluntly saying that he would ruin the movie.

In fact, people in the industry didn't care about Mendes' remarks. Mendes had long been willing to sell the copyright of his memoir and make it into a movie. This memoir was published in 2001, when Universal I was in contact with Mendes, and when the casting started, Mendes’ reaction was exactly the same as now. She was dissatisfied with everything, like someone pointed a gun at her, and she resisted everything.

And it is precisely because Mendes is such an unfriendly collaborator that the hope of turning this memoir, which has attracted a lot of social attention, into a movie is so slim that it has been delayed until now, but it has been heard that Mendes has started treatment in the past few years. Her bipolar disorder, that's why Weinstein started to contact her, but things didn't go as expected.

Weinstein has many opponents in Hollywood, and Alex is in the limelight, so it is quite normal for someone to want to mess with them and make them unlucky. This information leak incident There was a lot of trouble, but the ending it brought was not the worst.

Owen hung up the phone and came to Alex. The latter saw him pinch the bridge of his nose tiredly and showed worried eyes.Shrugging his shoulders, he signaled to Alex that he was fine, and Owen said even more bitterly: "Maybe we should thank them for promoting the movie for us so hard, which leaves a lot of early publicity expenses... "

It’s not that their budgets are tight, but Weinstein’s usual method. They will never invest too much in the early publicity. On the one hand, too much attention and speeches sometimes lower their style; It is natural that good steel should be used on the blade.

And although Alex sympathizes with Weinstein somewhat, this does not prevent him from seizing the opportunity to start negotiations with Irving, in which he has more initiative. Specifically speaking, Weinstein has to Say thank you to him, or to be more precise, say thank you to Tony Stark.

Because what was exposed by those bribed staff members was not only a recording and a few emails, but also a few confidential documents, but fortunately Jarvis discovered these in time and helped them intercept them.

In fact, Alex shouldn't have delayed making this call to Stark until now, but they all knew that because of their unpleasantness last time, Alex didn't know what attitude he should use to deal with Stark. Confront Stark.And Stark did the same to him.

First of all, Stark no longer dared to appear in front of Alex, but the traces he left can still be seen everywhere, such as on the Internet, Alex's cyber trolls are still in action, they are loyal to protect the Lord, they Praise, and Alex's assistant, Jerry, who often receives unnamed packages, at first thought it was a prank, or contained something bad, but waited to unpack it, Alex As soon as he saw it, he would rush over excitedly, saying, "Is this a reward for me? It was given to me by my fans, it's so sweet, I just need this!", and then the unlucky Jerry once After Alex received the latest game console, he immediately played all night with him.

Yes, this time, of course, it was all Stark's handwriting. He was trying his best to treat Alex well in every way he could think of, but this time he would not use him as he did in the past. Come to Alex triumphantly in the tone, get a roll of the eyes that makes him feel comfortable, or sneak into Alex's room in the middle of the night, and when he leans over to steal a kiss, he is greeted with a pillow storm. He shot, carefully, and worried that Alex would hate him.Jerry's comment on this is "it's just so sad!"

Alex snatched Jerry's mobile phone. These days, whether it is a home phone or his work or personal mobile phone, he has stopped it because of the news. If Alex doesn't do this Sooner or later you will be harassed into a nervous breakdown.

And after using Jerry's mobile phone to dial the number of "Daddy Long Legs", Alex didn't make a sound at first, and the other end still had the familiar lazy tone unique to Stark, with A little impatient, mixed in his noisy background sound.

"Hi, it's me." Alex hesitated for a moment before choosing this opening line.

Then, Alex heard a jingling sound over there, as if something was being overthrown and smashed, and then the noise gradually faded away, as if someone ran to a quiet place holding the phone. Alex heard Stark speak nervously with some panting, he even stammered a little: "Hi, it's you... no, I mean, are you still there? What's the matter? Aya Alex, uh...of course don't get me wrong, it's okay..."

"Tony—" Alex sighed with a smile on the other end of the phone, "Hey, calm down, are you drunk?"

"No, of course I didn't." The other side said quickly.

"But it sounds like you have." So did Alex.

"Okay, then I have it." Stark said in a resolute tone that we, Alex, were right.

Alex smiled helplessly again, and Stark suddenly felt as if his heart was full when he heard Alex's laughter. He couldn't be happier, and he also smirked while holding the phone.

Alex hesitated for a while, he could hear Stark's quiet breathing on the other end, and then he said in an inexplicably relaxed and relieved tone: "Hey, let's take it easy in the future, let him pass the past okay?"

Alex knew that he did remember some past events, about him and Stark, but those were not good memories, and those things seemed to have passed for too long, Alex recalled, but It seems that he is watching other people's stories, of course he has feelings, but he is more disappointed, but he will never be immersed in it, he can always come out quickly.

Of course Stark knew what this sentence meant, and his originally excited heart gradually became cold because of Alex's words. He had guessed Alex's reaction, maybe he hated him, loathed him, and even Ignore him, but he can accept these, because it means that Alex still cares about him, he will have emotions for him, then he can stalk him, he can hold on to these emotions , change something in the end, instead of being like now, Alex is very calm, he has opened the door and walked out of this memory, but Stark is still sitting on that cold bench, he can't stand up.

The wonderful self-esteem was at work, and Stark felt that he was in pain, because he had to face this cruel fact, but he still had to pretend to be cool on the surface, and he pretended to be cool: "Of course, I mean, This is exactly what I want...and I hope you don't misunderstand, my reactions last time, as we did at the beginning, get along as friends, it's very appropriate, isn't it?"

Alex smiled and said yes, and asked Stark to come out for a meal, for his help this time.

Only Stark himself knew that when he said this, he wanted to bite off his tongue several times, and then stop himself from speaking.

Of course, it was impossible for Alex to know that after Stark hung up the phone, what he most wanted to hear was an ng, so that he could make another call and reinterpret the scene just now with a different line.After solving this matter, Alex felt a little more relaxed, and this time Jerry also came to inform Alex of his afternoon schedule.

The filming of "The Twilight Saga" was completed last week. Although the film is still in post-production, commercials are like this. There is never too much publicity, so some promotional activities in the early stage have also been launched. This requires actors The participation and cooperation of Alex, especially the recent topic of Alex, he has occupied the headlines for at least a month, so when he attends the event, the reporters usually focus on things other than the movie.

For example, how does Alex plan to handle his relationship with Mendes to ensure the start of his new movie, and even ridiculed Jean's ambition and eagerness for Oscar, as well as the email that attracted people to talk about, the reporters He even asked questions about what Alex thought about Natalie's agent's evaluation of him, and asked him whether he would continue to cooperate with Natalie.

Of course, Alex only has one prepared answer. Natalie Portman is an actress he admires very much, and it is really a lucky thing to work with her.

This sounds official, but Natalie is indeed an actress that Alex admires very much. Although the words of the agent said hurt people, Alex is not incomprehensible. Of course, the agent must Fight for more resources and power for the artists under him. If it were Owen, he would definitely do the same. In addition, Natasha's position is higher than Alex's. In terms of awards, Natalie won the award with " Stealing Heart also won a golden ball, but in terms of nominations, Alex may have to wait a few more years to catch up with others, and with the help of the Star Wars series, Natalie is more famous than Alex Alex is much taller, and in terms of debut time, it is understandable that the agent is dissatisfied with the screenwriter's behavior of adding Alex.

But this is Hollywood, and everyone is used to acting on the spot. On the night when the news came out, Natalie's agent immediately contacted Owen, and this embarrassment was also resolved during their dinner in the future.As far as the matter is concerned, Alex has no ill feeling towards Natalie herself, not to mention that the latter released kindness to him from the beginning.

Of course, they became acquainted afterwards, and Natalie also talked about their dinner like a joke. In fact, what happened at that time, it is impossible for anyone to have no grievances, it can only be that they are peaceful on the surface. , but since Natalie read the script, she likes the story very much, and if she doesn't want to quit, she has to do so. However, she has to admit that it is the most correct choice she made.

In fact, these problems are still secondary, they have to solve Mendes first, although there are contract constraints, so that the right to speak is not small, and the original author who also joined the script to change the work can't cause too much trouble, But her uncooperative attitude alone is enough to cause headaches for a long time. In fact, these recent troubled incidents, in addition to the malicious help of others, are also Weinstein's mistakes.

Alex had a brief meeting with Mendes before, but due to his schedule, the meeting took a lot of time, and they were unable to discuss many detailed issues, so this also caused the unpleasantness this time.In fact, Mendes was a little hesitant about Alex playing this role at that time, although when the officer had a story with her sister, she was still young, and there was only a vague shadow of the officer, which is precisely Because of this, the image of the German officer left in her mind tends to be perfect. Except for the cruelty of those brutal wars, she hopes to present an image that conforms to his imagination, but she doubts that Alex can't do it.

Then it is not difficult to dispel Mendes' suspicion, as long as Alex proves that he can do it.

Steve came down to knock on the door this time to hand over some packages to Alex. After fans found out that Captain America became Alex's neighbor, they would always send gifts to Captain America along with Alex. Together with Steve, there are even many gifts for couples, Steve will always silently pick out the women's one, and then bring it to Alex.

This is the second time that Alex has returned to his residence this month. It was also a coincidence that Steve, who had just finished his mission and got a new vacation, bumped into Alex in this way. You must know that he was originally just He planned to put down the gift and leave, because the house might not be able to pile up any more, but he vaguely heard the sound in the room, and Steve raised the volume and said, "Alex, are you back?"

"I'm here, Captain—" Alex's voice came from the second floor.

Steve came to the door of the bedroom on the second floor, he looked at the slightly messy room, leaned over to let Alex's stylist hurried past him, and then he saw the person standing by the window.

Alex was trying on a German army uniform, a custom-made uniform that naturally fit perfectly, his straight legs tucked into the high boots, the tight belt accentuating his thin waist, Alex, on the other hand, was gripping the glove, lifting his chin slightly, allowing his dresser to give him a final rest.

And Alex is not a typical Germanic look, so for the character's sake, he did some makeup, adjusted his facial features to be deeper, and dyed his dark brown hair a lighter color, and then he turned around Come on, the surface is in line with the coldness of a soldier, and the arrogance of the German officer he played as a nobleman.

When Steve met Alex, he also noticed that the former might be wearing contact lenses that change the color of his pupils, like gray. After this series, Alex's temperament changed greatly. It was difficult to reconnect with the young man who usually laughed with him.

Although the war has passed for a long time, this military uniform may not be a good memory for Steve, but Steve told himself that the person standing in front of him was just Alex, and then he gradually As he approached, he never took his eyes off Alex, and he didn't understand why he had such a bad idea.

Alex buttoned up the collar of his uniform. At this moment, he seemed to be a little into the show. He raised his chin slightly, straightened his back, and looked at the captain in front of him with an indifferent expression. The breath of abstinence, but extraordinarily sexy, makes people want to pull out the belt around his waist, then take off his uniform, and then press the person hard against the French window behind him.

"Hey, captain, what are you thinking about?" Squeezing his chest muscles, wow, the captain seems to be getting stronger again.

Steve grabbed Alex's hand, no wonder he was so excited, because of the parched imagination in his mind, he felt that it would be safer to stay away from Alex for the time being, so his The Adam's apple moved, and he looked away guiltily, and then tried his best to be calm: "No, it's nothing—"

Alex suddenly moved closer, and whispered in Steve's ear, "Hmm...you're not thinking about asking me to take off this uniform, are you?"

"!!!-"

"I know that no matter how long the war has passed, it is extremely cruel. I want to shoot this movie to convey this thought-provoking side, so it's just for the character... Wait, captain, why is your face so so? red?"
