Chapter 882

Compared with the first westrow villa party, many people want to sneak in and climb the mountain. Now no one dares to do so.

Because once found, the consequences will be very serious.

And the probability of not being discovered is almost zero.

However, compared with the first time, this year's westrow villa party on the southeast mountain top of Park City is also more lively. Not only the newcomers from the Sundance Film Festival, but also many Hollywood stars and celebrities from other circles are invited, with a total of 500 or 600 people.

More people actually bring a problem.

Although Simon westero is at the party, it's very difficult to have a few more words with the Hollywood tycoon, let alone make a deep impression. Fortunately, this kind of social occasion, if you can seize some other contacts, will also bring great benefits to your career.

In the villa at the top of the mountain.

The four young people who arrived at the party early felt like four mice falling into the rice bowl, four people, three men and one woman. If you look carefully, you should be able to judge that they are a brother and a couple. The brothers are Ben Affleck and Cathy Affleck, and the lovers are Matt Damon and Minnie deriver.

Two of them are big Ben and moto, who Simon remembers in Hollywood for more than 20 years.

Ben Affleck and Matt Damon, who are only about 25 years old this year, have been mixed up in Hollywood for many years. For example, Matt Damon ran over a small role in Modern Cinderella starred by Julia Roberts, who was not famous yet, in 1988. After so many years, the most important film played by these two good friends is only Kevin Smith last year His second work "cool people" after "crazy shop assistant" is still a low-cost small film, but also just a very small supporting role.

Almost the same age, belonging to the same agency, rivan Phoenix has been shining in Hollywood, they are still unknown.

Usually, many young people who fail to pursue their dreams in Hollywood begin to face the reality.

When the two are almost unable to hold on, they finally ushered in a turnaround.

Danilisi Entertainment's gaomen film company took a fancy to a script jointly written by the two, called "the catcher of the soul", which was inspired by Matt Damon's short Harvard university career, and then improved with Ben Affleck. The story tells of a professor who left a math problem on the blackboard on campus and was accidentally cracked by will, a young cleaner. Later, he learned that will would be put in prison because of a fight. Out of pity for his talent, the professor took the initiative to help him realize his self-worth.

This play is favored by gaomen film industry. In fact, it also benefits from their experience in Kevin Smith's "cool people".

It was supposed to be the job of an agent to recommend scripts to a film company, but from the fact that their acting career has not improved for so many years, we can see their agent's contacts and ability. After the completion of the script in 1992, until they met Kevin Smith last year, their script was never seen by the film company.

It's not because of the poor quality of mind catcher.

Many people in the circle who have seen the play have given quite positive comments.

The main thing is that Hollywood has never been a circle that you can easily get along with with if you have the face and the ability. Most of the time, if you want to succeed, luck is far more important than others. Of course, with the exception of Simon westero, who was born out of the realm of genius.

Although Big Ben and motor were able to get into Harvard in those years, they were not good at it in Hollywood.

At a party with Kevin Smith at the beginning of this year, the independent film director asked if the script of the two men's "mind catcher" was available. After learning that it didn't work out, he suggested that they send the script to park city to try their luck.

Now the Sundance Film Festival has become a comprehensive film trading platform, in addition to the film, but also for many new scripts to provide trading and display channels.

Big Ben and motor sent the script to park city through Kevin Smith's contacts. Unexpectedly, the good news will come so soon.

Just a few days later, the two received the news that gaomen film had taken a fancy to their script and could sign a contract immediately. In the face of the broker's advice, they didn't listen to it, so they just got rid of the broker and negotiated the contract with a person in charge of gaomen film.

The only requirement is that Matt Damon himself be the leading actor.

At first, I was worried about the need for a tug of war. Unexpectedly, gaomen pictures agreed to do so soon.

After signing the contract, they received an invitation letter from vestro villa party at Sundance Film Festival, which did not give much explanation. However, since it is a vestro villa party, they obviously have a chance to meet Simon vestro. Both of them are smart people. They even thought that Simon westero might be the one who could make their script so popular with gaomen film.

If the guess is true, then, after so many years, I'm finally coming out.Few of the projects that Simon westrow is interested in have failed.

Matt Damon took his girlfriend with him. Ben Affleck, who was recently single, turned down the agent who wanted to grab a party, but took his brother with him. The four of them drove all the way from Los Angeles to park city a few days before the opening of the festival.

Originally, I was still dreaming about how I might be liked by Simon westero. I hate to see each other too late. From then on, I met each other and became an iron rod.

However.

Obviously, I think too much.

Now, more than half an hour after arriving at the party, except for the strict confirmation and security check at the door, there is no special reception for them.

It seems that all kinds of celebrities who come and go to the party don't need money.

Robert Redford, Nicole Kidman, Gus Van Sant, Michelle Pfeiffer, Hugh Grant, Andy McDowell, John Travolta, Rosanna Arquette, Bruce Willis, Demi Moore

It's dazzling.

There are even Cindy Crawford, Claudia Schiff, Daniela pusteva and other supermodels who stand out from the crowd. Mada's girlfriend is 178cm tall. Compared with these girls, she has two temperament.

At first, he summoned up the courage to chat up with some big names and introduce himself. When he saw many of them, he was not used to it. On the contrary, he was ashamed of himself.

Fortunately, there are many people around who are in the same state as them.

People in the same circle naturally got together and soon chatted with the creator of a film that was shortlisted in the main competition unit of Sundance. This is a director named Paul Thomas Anderson, who is the same age as Ma da. He is only 25 years old this year, but he has finished his first feature film "casino".

Moreover, Anderson happens to be a contract client of ICM.

As one of the three agents in Hollywood, ICM has a very large scale and distinct circles. It has never met before.

Because Anderson's "casino aspect" is invested by gaomen film industry, with a production cost of 3 million US dollars, it has invited several good actors, such as Samuel Jackson and Philip Hoffman, to take part in it. The four of them have arrived in park city these days, and they have a lot of private time. Therefore, they have carefully studied a series of projects shortlisted this year. Casino aspect has not been shown yet, but they know it I remember that Gwyneth Paltrow, who is said to be the goddaughter of Steven Spielberg, also appeared in the film.

It's still the same agency.

I've seen Paltrow at some parties before, but she's a very proud girl. They can't catch up with her.

Although Samuel Jackson, Philip Hoffman and others took part in "the casino", they didn't come to park city this time, and probably only showed up on the premiere day.

The two sides are of the same age. After a long talk, Anderson is quite interested in the script of the two. He also introduces another new film he is preparing, called "uninhibited night", which has also been finalized by gaomen film. Because the more he talked, the more speculative he became. Anderson also sent an invitation to Big Ben. He thought the other party's image was quite appropriate.

If you like, you can arrange an audition.

The hero.

Big Ben was also in a good mood. However, when he thought of the theme of uninhibited night introduced by the other party and heard the other party's suggestion that gaomen film had given him considerable autonomy, he was a little suspicious.

This audition?

Although the other side looks sincere, it seems that there is no special hint.

However.

Yeah.

Try it anyway.

Anyway, if you can get the leading actor, it's a big deal So what?

While chatting, a Uyghur maid came through the crowd, looked at Mada and confirmed, "are they Mr. Damon and Mr. Affleck?"

Few people in Hollywood don't know the name of the waiters. Or, few people in America don't know.

See the maid asked, Big Ben and motor quickly agreed.

The maid confirmed their identities and made a gesture of invitation: "come with me, Mr. doechman is waiting for you."

Subconsciously, they raised their feet to follow the waitress and left. Then they reflected that it was not Simon westero, but Ella doichman.

Ella doechman, the president of gaomen film, signed the contract last time. Only one person in charge of the script department was contacted by gaomen film, but of course they also know about Ella doechman.

Big Ben's younger brother, Kathy Affleck, and Mada's girlfriend, Minnie driffer, stopped where they were when the waitress didn't mention them. Big Ben and motor follow the waitress through the crowd in the villa hall, along the corridor to an indoor bar on the east side of the villa.

The interior of the bar is very large, with a space of at least 100 square meters and all kinds of entertainment facilities. However, compared with other areas of the villa, the light here is dim and blurred, and the soft music matches the slow dancing crowd on the dance floor, which is totally different from the bustle of other areas of the villa.Although there is no guard at the door, it seems that everyone can get in and out freely, but just because of the difference in atmosphere, there are fewer people coming here. When the two of them follow the waitress, they can't help but walk lightly.

Soon came to a card seat.

Seeing the arrival of Ma Da, the two people who are talking in the booth stand up to greet each other at the same time. They happen to know each other, at least in newspapers and magazines. The president of gaomen pictures, Ella doechman, the famous independent film director in Hollywood, and GUS Van Sant, one of the judges of this Sundance Film Festival.

Simon westero's absence was a bit of a disappointment to both of them.

When shaking hands, Big Ben looked around quietly. He soon noticed that there were many women in a more spacious card seat near the bar. He vaguely recognized that the one sitting on the edge of the card seat just opposite him was Gwyneth Paltrow, the legendary Spielberg goddaughter.

Because his eyes were so good, Big Ben could tell from the dim light that Gwyneth Paltrow had an obvious ingratiating smile on her face. The other person was looking at the opposite side of the card seat.

In Hollywood circle, there are probably not many people who can make the Spielberg goddaughter show this kind of expression. What's more, the position of the other side can only be said to be the edge of the card seat. Even because of the overcrowding, the body is not fully seated. Maybe you can also imagine some things. Next to Gwyneth Paltrow, I think about it a little bit, and remember, it's Jennifer Connery.

This is also a great beauty.

Further inside, the figure has a good discrimination.

On the other hand, the edge of the card seat on the side opposite to them is completely invisible, but the long leg protruding out is really a little thrilling.

A guy surrounded by a bunch of women.

Obviously.

Who else could it be?

These thoughts flashed quickly in his heart. Big Ben didn't show too much difference on his face. He just let his friends sit in the current card seat, and he sat on the outside. At the same time, he drew back his attention and began to talk with doechman and Van Sant.

The topic begins with the script of the catcher of hearts.

Ella doichman first revealed a small inside story, because of their script, two producers of gaomen pictures were fired.

This immediately made them a little uneasy.

What's the situation?

Fortunately, doichman soon revealed the answer.

It turns out that in order to test whether the people who got "the catcher of the soul" read the script seriously, the two of them set a scene in the middle of the script in which the two leading men suddenly kiss. The two protagonists in the story are absolutely straight men, and there is no homosexual tendency, so we can imagine how abrupt the plot is.

In fact, it is the careful thinking of the two.

Unexpectedly, this careful thinking was used by Simon westero to hand over the script to several contract producers of gaomen. As a result, two of the five producers did not find the plot. Obviously, they didn't study the script seriously, and then the boss spoke in person and was expelled.

Hearing the explanation of doechman, they looked at each other.

And inevitably worry.

Big game?

When Ella doechman finished the episode, her face didn't show any bad feelings, and some of them were probably proud. In fact, although he was not included in the five producers, he also passed the test.

After a false alarm, but also secretly introspection.

With the rapid development of danielis entertainment, many people in the group inevitably feel arrogant and slack.

It's obviously a knock by my boss.

At present, doichman asked, hearing the result of the matter, they did not want to admit their initial careful thinking, but hesitated to confess to doichman.

You can't say it's a script leak, can you?

Treat others as idiots, the result may be worse.

Fortunately, doichman obviously didn't mind.

After finishing the episode, we got to the main topic. As expected, as we guessed, gaomen film has officially approved the project of "mind catcher", and selected Gus Van Sant, who is very interested in the play, as the director. This time, Ella doechman personally introduced several people. We talked about the project for half an hour, and finally agreed to stay in park city for the next few days. While Gus Van Sant was performing his duties as a judge of Sundance, we could continue to discuss the project more deeply.
