"She was born into a wealthy family. She had an enviable childhood and a healthy environment. Her parents were also very strict with her. Basically, after the seventh grade, she began to gradually learn to be independent. She was almost a good representative of the rich children of New York's upper class. She was generous and reserved, lively but never overstepped her boundaries, and her private life was almost impeccable. But because of this, deep in her heart, she longed to fully express herself. This is why she chose to be a model when there were many professions that could make her money, "Charlize said with confidence.
"That alone is not enough to convince me," Adriaan said with a smile.
Charlize shrugged. She knew what he meant, and then continued, "Obviously, her parents' divorce had a great impact on her, especially when she had just begun to establish her own outlook on life. This made her very confused and confused. According to the collected information, her feelings toward her father began to become contradictory. Although she still regarded him as a role model, deep in her heart, she began to doubt him."
"Not bad, not bad. Charley learned a lot from me." Adriaan clapped his hands.
Rolling his eyes, Charlize was too lazy to respond to him. "If she had always been like this, even if she was very contradictory, she would still continue to maintain that style, that is, an energetic and reserved girl, and would not cross the red line. Even if Donald remarried, she might be very unhappy, but she wouldn't show it too obviously. In the end, she might enter her father's company after graduating from college and marry the child of a rich man. However, unfortunately, she met a b * stard, a very hateful b * stard. "
"Wait, Charley, don't you think the word b * stard is used too often?" Adriaan interrupted.
Charlize glared at him and then shrugged. "Well, she met a demon king. The demon king used a rough but not simple method to easily break her heart. Although it released her suppressed contradictory feelings, it also attracted all her anger to himself. But if you think that the demon king made a mistake, then you are wrong. Whether it is love or hate, as long as you pour strong feelings into someone, then you will be guided and controlled by him through various means. He is a master of playing with feelings, and almost no woman can escape from his hands. "
"If you can, can you not describe me as a demon king, Charley?" Adriaan sighed.
"Do you want to deny it?" Charlize immediately asked.
"I just feel that I sound like a big villain. In this case, I have to find a way to kill the protagonist first. If this world is a novel, then I have to hurry up. The villains in novels are more tragic than the villains in games, especially the villains in some Chinese novels. " Adriaan said seriously, and then made a gesture to Charlize, who tilted his head. "Well, please continue."
"That's it, that's all." Charlize shrugged. "This is what I want to say. Although Ivanka and I are born on opposite ends of the spectrum, we both desire to show ourselves and to be recognized. Our abilities are not bad, and we have strong feelings buried in our hearts. You can deal with her the way you dealt with me in the past. "
Her tone was very calm, and so was her expression. She had said similar words many times. Even if her words were a little worse, he could feel her thoughts.
"Well, I admit, there are some places where you see more than me." Adriaan smacked his lips and said so. "How did you do it?"
"In addition to some things that I can empathize with, don't forget, I'm a woman, Eide." Charlize showed a rare smile. "Although you know women very well, there are some things that only women will understand."
"Okay, but I have a question, Charley." Adriaan's face changed. "You also said that Yini now hates me very much and even hates me. Can I trust her unreservedly in the beginning?"
"You should have such means, Eide." Charlize's tone was a little teasing. "Penelope's matter has caused a lot of shock to some people."
"You see the problem very accurately, Charley. But you also said that your and Yini's birth is completely different, so you know that she wants to seek revenge on me, but you don't fully understand her thoughts, even if you are a woman." Adriaan said with a smile, "Yini is actually very proud, and her pride is completely different from yours. Your pride is because you have suffered too many setbacks in the past, especially … the thing that changed your life dramatically."
As he spoke, he gently stroked Charlize's face with a look of love in his eyes. The girl pressed his hand and looked at him without blinking. After a long while, she said softly, "So, my pride plays a role in protecting myself while I don't want to lose to others, but Ivanka's pride is because she has almost never encountered setbacks since she was a child. A little injury may be a big deal in her eyes, so it's difficult to accurately judge her reaction, right?"
"Very correct. As expected of my Charley, your reaction is very sharp." Adriaan praised.
Charlize sighed and thought for a while before saying, "Well, then … Let's split this position into two, although it is a pity."
"Giving up so soon?" Adriaan raised his eyebrows in surprise. "This is not like your style."
"Because I know how important this position is, and how many things you have to hide." Charlize rolled her eyes at him, then sighed again. "If I am wrong …"
Hearing her words, Adriaan was really surprised. After so many years, it was the first time that Charlize said such a thing. One must know that she was very independent and proud. No matter what she did, she would do her best. Even if she made a mistake, she would correct it immediately. She would never say things like "what if I am wrong?" that doubted herself and lacked confidence. So, at this time, the meaning of this sentence could be imagined.
"Don't worry, you can't be sure whether you are wrong or not." Adriaan smiled and held her in his arms. "No matter what you do, you have to take risks. It's just a matter of degree. If you still fail after considering all the factors, it can only be said that you are unlucky. So, it's decided. Train Yini well. If you can't do it, there is still me behind you, right? "
Charlize snorted softly, but she leaned her head on his shoulder even tighter. After a long time, she raised her head and said, "I think you're just too lazy to spend more time looking for another one."
"Really?" Adriaan scratched his chin, suddenly turned Charlize over, and slapped her butt. "Do you feel uncomfortable if you don't tease me like this?!"
Leaving aside the matter of the secretary and assistant, as time went by, the well-prepared "Never Compromise" finally started. The first scene was a courtroom scene. Ms. Irene Brockovich was looking for a job when she was in a car accident because she ran a red light, causing her neck to be severely sprained. Then, because she said dirty words in court, the uncertain situation became very bad, and she finally lost the lawsuit.
"It was that bastard who hurt my neck!" Irene cried angrily. She was easily provoked by the other party's lawyer and made a wrong move.
“Good！” Adriaan clapped his hands. Julia did put in a lot of effort. The scenes in the courtroom were basically done in one take, including the close-up just now.
"I said that I am very well prepared." Julia couldn't help but feel a little proud. Then, Adriaan turned her head and laughed.
"Is it really that funny?" Julia suddenly became a little annoyed. She knew what he was laughing at. In fact, she admitted that wearing this thing around her neck was really too funny.
"Not only that, but there's also your special … special eyes and … a low-cut dress full of red lips." Adriaan laughed. He even tried to pull Albert Finney, who was reading the script and preparing for the next scene, into the conversation. "Don't you think so, Al?"
"Um … Sorry, I'm memorizing my lines." Finney, who had been acting since the 1960s, was also a sly old fox. He immediately raised the script in his hand and threw himself to the side.
Julia snorted in dissatisfaction, but there was nothing she could do. Ms. Brockovich did not receive any higher education. She was able to take down that big company by herself. She found and analyzed all the information. Although she had the help of the lawyer played by Finney, she was indeed a very determined woman. Because of this, even though she had won a beauty queen before, most of the time she was a relatively vulgar woman. Otherwise, she wouldn't have cussed in court. Of course, that wasn't the case now. Adriaan had seen the real person a few times, so he basically still had some temperament.
However, the movie was a story from a few years ago, so Julia's makeup and clothes had to be very similar to Brockovich's. For example, she had to draw a circle of blue eyeshadow around her eyes, or wear a ridiculously vulgar dress with red lips and a cleavage in front of her chest.
"Okay, okay, let's not talk about this. Let's continue." After teasing Julia for a while, when everyone had more or less rested, Adriaan called the crew to start again.
The next scene was still an indoor scene. Brockovich lost the lawsuit and only had $74 left in his bank account. Annoyed and desperate, he vented all his anger on his lawyer. Then, because of a series of problems, such as having no one to take care of her child or finding a job, she had no choice but to come to his law firm and ask him to take responsibility for her current predicament, such as hiring her as an assistant.
Although the old lawyer wasn't a good person, because of her pestering, and also because he sympathized with her, he finally agreed. However, there were no employee benefits.
"At first, Masley just wanted Irene to do some secretarial work." In order to prevent confusion, Adriaan had always called Finney's character Masley. "He didn't take her too seriously. Deep down, he actually thought that it was a kind of charity for Irene, so he always had a perfunctory attitude. So, after Irene didn't come to investigate the water quality for a few days, he decided to fire her."
"What do you think?" Albert Finney thought for a moment. "I was sitting in my chair with my feet on the desk while I was on the phone. Julia came in and asked me a few questions before I realized what was going on. I looked a little confused, and before she could say anything, I nodded in agreement."
"Let me think … That's a good suggestion. Let's do it." Adriaan then made up his mind.
In reality, although Brockovich wasn't valued in Masley's law firm, he definitely wasn't ostracized. Although he didn't have much of a temperament, he was definitely not stupid. Masley wasn't stupid either. So, although he didn't pay enough attention to Brockovich's initial discovery, he supported her in investigating and collecting evidence.
But a movie couldn't be made like this. As Adriaan had always insisted, the main responsibility of a movie was to tell a story, and to tell a story, there had to be contradictions and conflicts, and there had to be ups and downs. Only then could it attract the audience, and make them immerse themselves in it. So, Adriaan set up a plot here. Because Brockovich dressed casually and had an unlikable personality, she didn't get along well with the others in the law firm. In addition, Masley didn't take her seriously, so he perfunctorily agreed to her investigation and then forgot about it.
So, when Brockovich spent a few days at the Water Conservancy Bureau to find the answer and copy the information, she was fired by Masley because he thought she had gone to play. Of course, as the main character of the whole story, this small low point would soon pass. Not long after, Masley came back to look for her, because he had received a call from a professor at USC. The hexavalent chromium in a certain area's water quality was far above the standard. Brockovich was actually very serious about her work, and he hoped that she could go back.
But obviously, things wouldn't be resolved so easily. The audience would love to see it, and it was inevitable that they would slap the face of some people who looked down on them. But Masley wasn't a bad person, so Brockovich just teased the old lawyer and fought for a 10% increase in salary and some benefits for herself. Then, she gave all the information to Masley.
"Is that all?" Masley asked after looking at the information.
"So far, but it's very messy there. There must be more data," Brockovich, who was holding the child, replied.
"Yes, that's how it is in that kind of place." Masley nodded and looked at her. "What makes you think that you can just walk in and do whatever you want?"
"Because …" Brockovich thought for a while, then shrugged. "I have big boobs."
"That's great." Adriaan clapped his hands again. For more than a week, he had done this many times. Julia and Finney were very good, and they had grasped the emotions that their characters should have.
For example, Brockovich's vulgarity and sincerity, or the shrewd Masley's repeated failures in front of his assistant. Their performances could almost be described as perfect.
"You know, Elle, when Julie said that line, your expression was so cute that I couldn't help but want to hug and kiss you," Adriaan said to Finney with a smile. He deliberately didn't look at Julia.
"Why? Do you have a problem with me having big boobs?" Julia asked immediately. Although she had acted well in the past week, she had been affected by the role, so her words and actions were somewhat similar to Irene Brockovich in the script.
"No, dear, I don't have any problem with that." Adriaan immediately raised his hand, while the others smiled and walked to the side. Everyone knew that the director and the female lead had a close relationship, so no one would interfere with their flirting.
"It's just that …" Adriaan lowered his voice. "Your boobs are actually not that big."
Seeing Julia's eyes widen, he said, "But it doesn't matter. Having a big place is enough."
As he said that, his finger slid across her lips. Julia opened her mouth to bite, but Adriaan pulled his hand back in time, and she missed.
"Also, I think you look sexy in that sleeveless crimson leather coat." Adriaan blinked again. Then, that night, Julia wore the coat and made him feel good with her mouth.
Although Erin Brockovich was busy filming, Adriaan didn't forget about other things. Kate had already begun her performance in Apple Ice House Rules, and the preparation for Invisible Man was also completed. Once Naomi joined the cast, Nicole would also begin to prepare for her new role. She would also practice dancing and singing under the guidance of professionals.
As for the original plan to have Naomi and Nicole act together in Witchcraft, it was no longer suitable. Therefore, they could only give it up or hand it over to other producers to find another actress. This was not a big deal. There were many movies in Hollywood that were originally prepared, but were eventually abandoned for various reasons. Witchcraft wasn't something that had to be produced.
Among the women mentioned above, Nicole was the busiest. She had to go to the UK to film the new movie, but she couldn't slack off for even a moment. One could imagine how tiring it was. However, Nicole didn't care. She was very determined in this aspect. Since she had made the choice, she had to go on with it. Just like when she chose to use her body to please Adriaan, Nicole never thought that she had any feelings for that bastard.
Fortunately, this new movie was also about dancing. Although it was ballet, it was enough for Nicole to figure out and practice every little bit.
Out of My World, this was the movie that Adriaan prepared for her this year. The script for this movie was obtained by Miramax in the UK last year. They had always had a good nose for artistic scripts, so Adriaan would occasionally criticize them. In this case, wouldn't it be better to spend more energy on artistic films? Why did they always want to invest in big productions?
Of course, this was a complaint. There was no film company that didn't want to be big, even if there were other film companies under the parent company. In short, when they were preparing, Adriaan found out about this movie. He had an impression of this movie. After thinking about it carefully, he thought that it was just the right time to supplement Nicole's script, so he asked for it.
Harvey Weinstein complained a lot. He thought that even if Adriaan was the boss, he shouldn't steal their script so blatantly and ask for supplements.
