Chapter 206
Only then was Kevin Haween satisfied, he squeezed out a smile from the bottom of his heart, and put away the file to take a look.
"Sensible girl." He said, "Anyway, listen to me, then success is not far away,"
Relatively speaking, stealing a script is a trivial matter, and the image problem caused by rummaging through the trash can is even more devastating to his clients, so now they need to use other excuses to confuse the public as much as possible, and then dilute the impact with an explosive positive news.
Kevin Howien's tone became much more relaxed at an obvious speed. While putting the document back in his briefcase, he continued to ask: "What is your expression? Or, for my work, You still have questions."
Gwyneth Paltrow pouted her lips, but did not speak.
Kevin Howian winked, and his assistant Maggie immediately said, "Gwen?"
"Nothing," Gwyneth Paltrow said, "It's just that you forgot to clarify 'stealing the script,' you know, Kevin, it's not what the tabloids say it is at all."
"Oh, of course I know, I will, thank you for your reminder, we will issue a press release saying that the original heroine of "Shakespeare in Love" is Julia Roberts instead of Winona Ryder." Kevin Huo Weien casually said a few perfunctory words, but his heart was full of contempt.
What happened to the character in "Shakespeare in Love" was well understood by the three people present, but probably only Gwyneth Paltrow considered herself a "fair competition".
To be precise, this project had its beginnings a few years ago. At that time, the producer's choice of heroine was undoubtedly Julia Roberts, but the actor she wanted at that time, Daniel Day-Lewis, went to make other movies, so this Two actresses also lost interest, and the entire project was put on hold by Warner Bros.
——This is a very common thing in Hollywood. It often takes years or even decades for a project to start from preparation to construction, and it may change hands many times.
Afterwards, due to the exceptional sales of Shakespeare's adaptations in the past few years, Miramax took over "Shakespeare in Love" from Warner, and put this project on the agenda again. It is the first choice to play the heroine.
What happened next was exactly the same as what was said in the newspaper.
But Gwyneth Paltrow never thought that she had done anything wrong. Even though she did read the script at Winona Ryder's house, it didn't mean she could only read the script at this place.
When an actor loses a role, doesn't it just mean that she wasn't good enough for the role?
So, of course, this is not her problem, but Winona's problem.
It's just that Winona at this time has exactly the opposite idea.
"It's not me, Matt." During the shooting interval of "The Girl Who Moved Soul", Winona Ryder locked herself in the lounge alone, and even her assistant was kicked out by her, "Don't you have any trust in me? ?"
"Of course not." Matt Damon retorted subconsciously on the phone, "But the problem is, this matter is only..."
"Yes, she did this to me, but it doesn't mean I'm the only one who knows about it!" Winona Ryder raised her voice and abruptly interrupted her fiancé.
As she spoke, she stroked back the broken hair on her forehead, and when she passed the dressing table, a trace of irritability could not help showing on her pure and beautiful face.
On the dressing table, someone casually threw a copy of the latest "National News", which published a photo of Winona Ryder and her ex-boyfriend together with a capitalized headline: Is the pure girl a repeat offender?An insider takes you to the real Winona Ryder.
Insider?
Damn "insiders"!
With that disgusting innocent tone, she dared to bet that it was Gwyneth Paltrow's bitch!
So is this revenge from the other side?Including making waves on Matt's side?
But the problem is, it wasn't me who revealed that Gwyneth Paltrow had stolen the script!
"Matt, I know it's a dilemma for you, but I can swear I didn't break it to the media, at most I didn't deny it when I was asked about it - but that's the truth, isn't it Taking a deep breath, Winona Ryder continued before Matt Damon could speak, "More importantly, we can really be sure that Gwen herself didn't tell her so-called friend about this. Thing? You know, she's a 'socialist'."
Everyone knows that Gwyneth Paltrow is the little princess in the circle, and she herself is not a character who can keep a secret. It is obviously completely possible to casually say that winning a role is a capital to show off.
Thinking of this, Matt Damon immediately held back what he was going to say.
He seemed to be reluctantly persuaded, he hesitated obviously, and said slowly: "I apologize for my previous misunderstanding."
"Of course you should apologize—" Winona Ryder sounded somewhat annoyed, but the expression on her face did not soften, "But as long as you are willing to cook dinner for me yourself, I will forgive you easily You..."
Matt Damon on the other end of the phone couldn't help laughing, and immediately said, "I'm glad, ma'am."
The engaged star couple chatted for a few more words, stopped talking about Gwyneth Paltrow, and ended the call after a while.
Then, Winona Ryder changed into casual clothes, opened the door of the lounge, and saw her assistant and true friend, Hibi Blachick, sitting on the floor by the door, with an unconcealable worry on her face .
Seebi Blazic noticed Winona Ryder's outfit, and the worry on her face became heavier again, her heart skipped a beat: "Noni, I think you know, there are still 10 minutes to start the afternoon shoot It's..."
"Oh, really." Winona Ryder pressed the brim of the fisherman's hat she was wearing on her head to hide the careless expression on her face, "But I want to go out now, for an hour—OK Well, I'll be back in half an hour."
"Noni!" Shebi Blazik was a little anxious, obviously she knew what her employer was going to do,
"Shh—" Winona Ryder made a silent gesture to Shebby Blazic, "Don't stop me, Shebby, I'm really sad."
Shebi Blazik showed a look of unbearable, and before she had time to continue persuading, Winona Ryder quickly hugged her, turned around and left quickly.
On the other hand, the whistleblower who really exposed the incident of stealing the script has just arrived at Los Angeles International Airport by private plane, and the itinerary was so low-key that no Hollywood paparazzi noticed it.
After leaving the VIP passage, the group boarded a plain black Volvo.
"Have a nice trip, boss!"
The old John in the driver's seat turned around to say hello, and the gossip reporter Vera McPherson in the car gave Josie a sweet smile. This young girl is now the editor-in-chief of "Now" magazine Lucy S. Peeler's right-hand man.
"Hello, my friends." Josie got into the car and took off her sunglasses and hat immediately.
Old John started the car.
"Wow, you're in great shape." Lucy Spiller, who rarely met Josie in person, smiled, and then said, "Come on, let's get straight to the point, dear. According to my line People revealed that David Geffen was very annoyed by Harvey Weinstein's backstab this time, and our Hollywood tycoon recently took action to punish his disobedient younger brother."
Many people may not know that Harvey Weinstein first started out doing rock concerts in New York. David Geffen has always helped him a lot, whether in the rock circle or Hollywood.
And he does have the talent to be a film businessman, and he is good at grasping the context of the audience, especially the academy judges. In just ten years, he has transformed Miramax from a small company on the verge of bankruptcy to the current king of independent films.
However, this year's public relations battle obviously hurt the relationship between them. At least Terry Prius, the marketing director of DreamWorks, sued Geffen Manor.
Because before that, Dreamworks' signature Steven Spielberg didn't even believe those rumors, such as Miramax letting publicists lobby critics, letting them slander "Saving Private Ryan" in newspapers, and Rumors spread in the industry that only the first 10 minutes of this movie can be watched.
Even Terry Prius couldn't help complaining to his friends. Steven Spielberg is really too "artist".
—Fortunately, David Geffen didn't.
"Geffen asked someone to report Miramax's illegal operations to the academy." Lucy Spiller smiled, "The academy prohibits film companies from bribing academy members, but Miramax hires some retired or semi-retired people." Members of the Academy, nominally working for the film, we all know in fact that they are asked to vote for "Shakespeare in Love" promoted by Miramax."
Hearing this, Qiao Qian slightly raised her eyebrows and asked, "The report was unsuccessful?"
Weinstein, who is well versed in the rules of the Oscars, has countless ways to circumvent the so-called rules, and so far has not capsized during the awards season.
"Of course not. This trick is still left by Guber." Lucy Spiller shrugged and replied, "But it doesn't matter, because the "Los Angeles Times" and "New York Times" both reported this at length. It's worth more than getting Miramax punished."
The data company's questionnaire shows that three days after the report of the illegal public relations of "Shakespeare in Love" came out, people in the vicinity of Beverly Hills had a slight decline in their perception of the film, which has obviously affected the best picture of this year's Oscars. belong.
The key now is how to deal with "Shakespeare in Love", which has been affected by a series of scandals of the heroine.
Josie asked noncommittally, "Tell me about other things, what's new in the city?"
Lucy Spiller raised her eyebrows and said: "Gwyneth Paltrow and Drew Barrymore had a big fight at a certain party, and the former cried out to people that his heart was going to be broken, it was so easy Let the good guy Spielberg do the trick and call his two goddaughters to his house for dinner."
"Oh, that's really regrettable." With that said, Josie's tone didn't have the slightest bit of regret.
It is obvious that she knows that any kindness to her enemies is cruelty to herself.
So Josie said in the next sentence: "In this case, then we have to give her a big gift—her heart is broken anyway, isn't it?"
"Don't count on that old fox Gubel?" Lucy Spiller asked.
"You also said that he is an old fox." Qiao Qian moved her neck, her tone was neither bad nor bad, "It is better to ask others than to ask yourself. The current public opinion is beneficial to me, but it is not enough."
"Okay, then I will find a chance to meet Winona." Lucy Spiller promised.
Amy Pascal can dig up Gwyneth Paltrow's material from Winona Ryder. It makes no sense that others can't. The only question is whether they can pay the other party's heart-wrenching reward.
And what would Winona Ryder want?
