299. Chapter 299 Nicole's thoughts

Reality is always stranger than fiction. Who would have thought that such a movie that was about to be offline, after being implicated in a crime, not only was it not taken down directly, but the box office increased? If this was the plot of a novel, there would definitely be criticism from readers:

That’s ridiculous!

It's a pity that facts are facts, and nothing will be changed because of the opinion that "it's too ridiculous", even if someone uses the topic to play on it.

"This is really a sad thing. While people in Maryland are still panicking under the threat of gunmen, people in most areas are flocking to theaters to see what kind of movie "Sniper Phone Booth" is and why.

Let the gunmen in Washington commit crimes." A relatively well-known Internet commentator wrote on his blog.

However, thanks to Fox's efforts, these criticisms are irrelevant. The movie's box office is still recovering and has remained at a high level. It seems likely that it will exceed 70 million when it is released.

It's a pity that this is where it ends. We are on the cusp of the storm now. Fox cannot seize this opportunity to promote it. If the ending is the one that Sean first proposed, maybe it can try to hit a higher box office, but now this

...let's forget it. This is why Schumacher feels regretful. It's so easy for a movie to appear that makes him completely proud. Naturally, the higher the box office, the better. It could have been higher, but because he didn't stick to it in the first place,

Is there anything more depressing than missing out?

Then, now that the criminals have finally been caught, there is news that they denied that they committed the crime because they watched "Sniper Phone Booth". Regardless of whether it is true or false, this does not prevent Fox from taking the opportunity to organize a charity auction to pay tribute to the victims of this incident.

They raise money to highlight themselves. As for discussions about film and television productions and crime rates, no matter how lively they are now, Hollywood will still do whatever they want in the future. As long as they keep a low profile during the discussion, it will be fine.

As the leading protagonist of this movie, Sean will inevitably be swept away by public opinion, so he must make an appearance at a charity auction and spend some money to show his attitude.

"Attitude is very important. Even if it's just a show, you have to show it and let people know whose side you are on." As soon as Frederick heard the news about "Sniper Phone Booth", he started chattering on the phone.

Finally, he did not forget to communicate before issuing a statement, conveying Sean's sympathy and condolences for the victims, as well as his condemnation of the criminals. And with good luck, the two criminals were arrested four days after issuing the statement.

Then, Sean took leave and went back to Los Angeles to spend money. Although you couldn't buy anything good at charity auctions, and most of them were bought back by whoever put them out for sale, but sometimes you would come across good ones.

"It's really not cold." Katie touched the jade pendant in her hand and said in a surprised tone. Then when she realized something, she quickly covered her mouth and looked around. She was relieved when she saw that no one noticed her.

When she raised her head, she saw Sean's smiling eyes. She couldn't help but blush. She immediately pouted and snorted: "What's so funny? This is the first time I've seen such a beautiful jadeite."

"I'm not smiling, I just think you're cute like this." Although Sean said this, the smile on his face became even stronger.

As an actress who had played abroad in "Phone Booth", she was naturally invited. It happened that the US version of "The Grudge" had completed filming in early October, so she made an appointment with Sean to meet at the auction.

"I don't believe it." Katie continued to hum, taking out the pendant again and rubbing it to look at, "Is this...really given to me?"

"Of course, this is something girls wear, so I can't use it." Sean opened his eyes and lied, but this jade pendant that cost him 120,000 US dollars is indeed very beautiful, and its pure and moist feeling is quite comfortable.

, wearing a beige long dress, Katie, who already looks cute, is undoubtedly more suitable to wear it.

"Oh? This is something girls wear." Katie glanced sideways at Sean, deliberately prolonging her voice, and her eyes flickered.

Sean knew what that meant. Well, although she might get confused from time to time, she wasn't so dull that she didn't know anything.

"Yeah, so it's the most appropriate gift for you. Even if it doesn't fit properly, if you stay at home and take a look at it from time to time, you will think of me." Sean laughed, and then changed the subject, "By the way, there will be one tomorrow.

Do you want to go somewhere?”

This topic successfully diverted Katie's attention, but at the same time, Sean also sighed in his heart, knowing that the place he wanted to go to most when he came back this time was Naomi's place, if nothing else, the American version of "Midnight Fury"

"Bell" was released on the 18th and took in 16 million at the box office in 1,900 theaters in its first week. It has firmly topped the box office list in this off-season, which is worthy of celebration.

Although "Mulholland Drive" brought her word-of-mouth, it only brought her word-of-mouth. Never count on David Lynch's box office. The American version of "The Ring" not only brought her word-of-mouth - although it was

It refers to the reputation of the plot - it also brings box office, and this is what Naomi lacks most at the moment. It can be said that with this movie, Naomi has truly established a foothold in Hollywood.

Under this situation, Sean should have congratulated him in person, but...who asked Katie to return to Los Angeles and participate in Fox's charity auction?

Even if he met Kate or Jordana, he wouldn't be too embarrassed, but it was Katie... Although Sean always told himself in his heart, he just didn't tell the whole truth, but...

Moreover, even if Katie is dealt with, it will be the end of the month soon, and the remake of "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" is already scheduled to be released on Halloween. With an investment of almost 10 million, there will definitely not be any premiere. However, despite the arrangement

At the test screening, the reviews received were somewhat polarized. Film critics thought it was nothing new, but ordinary audiences found it very exciting and interesting. The old version was simply incomparable. However, Vladimir still persuaded Weinstein.

I helped contact nearly 3,000 theaters. At this time, Sean had to follow up.

In this way, I could only say sorry to Naomi on the phone, and she didn't seem to care too much, and clearly expressed her understanding, and her soft voice made Sean feel a little ashamed for a while.

Therefore, after he repeatedly confirmed that there should be no problem with the prospects of "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre", he immediately returned to the crew of "Cold Mountain" in advance, hoping to complete the film in a short time and then take a good rest. Basically,

By now, he has mastered the role of Inman, and from a performance perspective, there is not much difficulty. It mainly depends on Nicole's cooperation, and the filming will probably be closed within a week or two.

However, Sean obviously forgot something, and there is still a test waiting for him.

--------

"Okay, I'll be right away." Nicole replied to her assistant without looking back, quickly turned over a few pages of the script, closed it and recited a few lines silently, then got up and walked to the set.

Go.

She arrived in a few steps, and then she saw the boy standing next to the camera talking to Minghella.

Nicole couldn't help but hum in her heart. She was not dissatisfied with Sean, but... well, she was indeed dissatisfied, but she didn't know why.

It must be because of Naomi. When they were chatting, every time they talked about him, Naomi would show that warm smile, as if she loved the man who was much younger than her from the bottom of her heart. This made Ni

But I'm a little jealous.

Yes, jealousy. Although the previous ten years of marriage allowed her to successfully establish herself in Hollywood, only she knows the taste of it. If there was some relationship before, after all, they had been together for ten years, but the other party filed for divorce before the expiration of ten years.

, it’s really chilling. For that guy, at that moment, he only had interests in his eyes.

So Nicole didn't understand that although Sean was indeed very likable, talkative, funny, had read many books, and could pick up a few sentences on any topic, but because of this, people knew he was a playboy at first glance. She

But after testing it several times, Rachel also said that he was very suitable for a one-night stand. Although she said this in a joking tone, Nicole would not think that it was just talk. After all, Rachel herself

Admit it, had dinner with Sean.

So, what attracts Naomi? Nicole asked, but Naomi either laughed and didn't answer, or changed the subject. This made her very worried. If Naomi, who finally became famous, would finally become famous.

Would it be too bad to become the next Meg Ryan?

Nicole admitted that she wanted to win over Naomi. Although she had accumulated a lot of connections in the past ten years, she always lacked people around her who could support each other. Even though she was born in Honolulu, she grew up in Australia.

, so most people regard her as an Australian actor. This is quite detrimental to her development. Everyone knows that Hollywood and the Oscars prefer native Americans.

So she needs companions, famous companions, and a small circle of her own. Before that, she had maintained good relationships with several Australian actors, including Hugh Jackman and Russell Crowe, but female actors

Not much. Cate Blanchett is very good, but this woman has always been very low-key. Unless she does some publicity, it is difficult to see her in magazines, so the news that Naomi has finally become famous makes her very happy.

In fact, she started to help a few years ago, but Nicole was not as well-known as she is now, and Naomi was never able to seize the opportunity, so she lost confidence for a time. Now Naomi finally relies on

"Mulholland Drive" caused a sensation, so of course she wanted to extend an olive branch, and one of them was to recommend auditioning for the heroine of the American version of "The Ring."

However, it is nonsense to say that the two of them do not have any sisterhood. After all, they went to school together, went out as a couple together, and chatted together. Naomi also attended her bachelorette party before her marriage, and she also attended the bachelor party when she divorced.
