67 Malibu Beach
Paris
A tired Carmen Keyes returned to her rented apartment, kicked off her shoes, and ran to turn on her computer.
After she washed off the makeup and fatigue from her face, she returned to the computer, and the blue desktop was ready.
Click on the light blue Netscape browser and open your mailbox from the favorites bar on the left. Sure enough, there is an unread email.
"Big Machine Records? His name is so weird..."
Smiling slightly, Carmen Keys began to reply to the email.
What to say?
"I will be walking in the Gucci show next week..."
Well, the six blue bloods have already gone through Chanel, Louis Vuitton, Hermes and Prada, plus Gucci is about to leave, and the only one left is Calvin Klein.
"CK probably won't invite me. In the past six months, no American brand has contacted my agent."
"Marc Jacobs, Michael Kors, Ralph Lauren, Donna Karan, none!"
He probably can't tell who is who among these brands, right?
Last time Canali asked him to be a model, he actually mistook it for an American brand. Damn!
Carmen Keyes stretched out her slender fingers and flicked the bobblehead doll placed on the computer screen, and the long-haired "Devil Prince" began to shake his head.
…
Quinn Bai returned to the set, and the filming of "The Evil Dead" returned to normal.
Perhaps because of his competitive mentality with Quentin Tarantino, Wes Anderson's obsessive-compulsive side began to show clearly. He requested that the entire film only have three tones: dim interior, golden dusk and dark night.
At dusk, the policeman played by Quinn Bai and his partner played by Mira Sorvino will have some non-work chats. The two of them are like good friends who have known each other for many years, complaining about their respective family trivia.
At dusk, the perverted murderer played by Edward Norton leads a normal life, shopping, eating out, and visiting the park.
At dusk, the gang boss played by Randy will take off his suit, roll up his shirt sleeves and play basketball with a group of teenagers on the basketball court in the street park. This happens not only once, but three times in the entire film.
This is because Bai Quinn boldly changed the plot of the original film when he was writing the screenplay.
The Korean version of the gang boss was angry because the little girl who borrowed his umbrella was killed, and launched his men to comprehensively track down the perverted murderer.
Bai Quinn believes that this temporary emotional connection is not enough for the gang boss to risk going to prison to kill the perverted murderer himself.
So he turned this "opportunity" into a black teenager who often played with gang bosses and had the goal of entering the NBA.
A perverted murderer accidentally bumped into a gang boss and teenagers playing ball in the park. In order to take revenge on the gang boss, he killed one of the black teenagers, extinguishing a small dream.
American audiences are even more receptive to this, which makes the motivation of the powerful gang boss to surrender more reasonable.
Because of Wes Anderson's paranoia about color, most of the filming of "The Bad Guys" was done at dusk and night.
Night scenes are okay. When the whole team is used to reversing day and night, without external interference, the efficiency is actually higher.
But the problem arises in several dusk scenes. Wes Anderson requires all real light shooting. Therefore, every time a dusk scene is shot, the requirements for the actors and the crew are particularly high. Once the NG continues, there will be no light after sunset.
If the light source is lost, we can only take pictures another day.
Perhaps to allow Bai Quinn and Mira to get along, the first scene between the two was a dusk scene.
A common scene in American movies, two police partners, one is in a car listening to the radio in a daze, the other goes to buy burgers and coffee, the two of them eat and chat in the car, waiting for the night to fall.
Their target, a serial murderer, only goes out to hunt at night, and they can only try their luck in Los Angeles late at night.
There were no problems with both performances, but due to mistakes in photography, setting and sound recording, they made many mistakes, causing constant NG.
Quinn Bai ate five burgers and Mila drank three cups of coffee until the sun immediately set into the sea before finally shooting a film that satisfied Wes Anderson.
After filming, we moved on to the next scene, a night scene in a warehouse, which we worked on until three o'clock in the middle of the night.
After the show, Harvey's assistant appeared on the set, sent an invitation letter to Quinn, and then picked up Mira Sorvino.
Bai Quinn looked around and found that Wes Anderson was confirming the details of tomorrow's shooting with William. He didn't notice the situation here, and he was determined. He really didn't want Wes to be stimulated again.
I didn’t know what the Los Angeles Times film critic said to Weiss before. The boy almost gave up his job and went to Paris, France, saying he was going there to learn European film techniques.
I was persuaded by Quinn Bai and Owen Wilson to come back. I might as well go to Europe to further my studies. I'll finish filming "The Bad Guy" first!
In fact, Harvey had already called to inform him about the invitation. He just sent a beautifully printed invitation to appear formal.
The person who sent the invitation was an old friend of Harvey, David Geffen, one of the Big Three of DreamWorks.
Although David Geffen sold his Geffen Records to Universal Records, after establishing DreamWorks, the record industry tycoon continued to work in his old business and just established DreamWorks Records not long ago.
This invitation was for Bai Quinn to attend a party held to celebrate the release of the new album of British singer George Michael, who was signed to DreamWorks Records.
George Michael was once a member of the popular band Wham in the 1980s. Their work "Careless Whisper" won Billboard's Single of the Year in 1985. George Michael, who is now solo, is a member of DreamWorks Records.
pillar.
The invitation was delivered through Harvey, and Bai Quinn could not find any excuse to refuse to participate. Widmark Image and Harvey were in the honeymoon period of their cooperation, and it was impossible for this trivial matter to affect the relationship between the two parties.
As for why Harvey forwarded the invitation letter to David Geffen, the two had a good personal relationship and were both Jewish. Even if DreamWorks and Miramax were in competition, it would be difficult to affect their personal relationship.
When David Geffen held the party, Sarah happened to have a TV talk show and was unable to accompany Quinn.
Her TV series has been aired for three episodes and has good ratings. The setting of combining youth campus and fantasy world has received an excellent response from young audiences.
Especially the character played by Sarah, Buffy, ranked first among TV drama characters in popularity in a survey of high school students. Both men and women liked her very much, and she truly became an instant hit.
FOX executives have revealed to Joss Whedon their intention to renew the show for a second or even third season.
In order to stabilize his leading heroine, Joss Whedon signed a supplementary agreement with Sarah and signed a seven-season heroine contract in one go, which has reached the upper limit allowed by the Screen Actors Guild.
Of course, the salary of each season must be negotiated separately. In view of this supplementary agreement, starting from the sixth episode of the first season, Sarah's salary has increased to 50,000 US dollars per episode. If "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" successfully signs the contract
In the second season, Sarah's salary may reach $100,000.
Although this increase cannot be compared with Jennifer Aniston, who plays Rachel in "Friends", whose salary jumped from 20,000 US dollars per episode in the first season to 300,000 US dollars per episode in the third season, it is still a new salary.
The highest-paid television actress of her generation.
Coupled with the box office success of "Bonnie and Frank" in April, this young couple has become the latest target of paparazzi attention in Los Angeles. There are paparazzi cars parked on the roadside every day outside the small house facing the sea.
Hope to catch some news material.
On the night of the party, Quinn Bai drove to Malibu alone, and paparazzi immediately followed her in the car, hoping to capture the scene where the rising action star and wrestling star was stealing food from her TV star girlfriend.
After following David Geffen to his mansion on the beach in Malibu, the paparazzi realized that they had failed. But it didn't matter. They could continue to stay outside David Geffen's house and take a look at the celebrities attending the party. Then they left.
Who were you walking with?
Bai Quinn, who suddenly became famous, had not yet realized that many irrelevant people would be secretly observing his every move. After driving into the courtyard of the mansion, he handed the car to David Geffen's bodyguard to park and tidy up.
Suit, step into David Geffen's home.
Entering the hall, many guests had already arrived. People were chatting in groups of three or three. Some people Bai Quinn had met once at the premiere, some he had seen on the screen, but more
The others were complete strangers in costumes, men and women.
Taking advantage of his height advantage and the observation skills he had developed when he was a quarterback, Bai Quinn looked around, trying to find Harvey. Since he had called him here, he should be responsible for introducing David to him.
Geffen.
That's one of the top three dream studios besides the six major studios!
Although DreamWorks has just been established and has not yet produced any works, anyone who cares about the film industry knows that as long as Spielberg, one of the Big Three, is at DreamWorks, there will definitely be good films produced here.
Coming here to become familiar with each other, and even taking the opportunity to get to know Spielberg, was the main purpose of Bai Quinn's visit.
The agent is not strong enough, so the actors have to rely on themselves to do business!
"Hey, I know you!"
A cheerful female voice interrupted Bai Quinn's gaze. When he lowered his head, he saw a young blond girl standing in front of him, with peach blossom eyes, a little baby fat, and a rather good figure.
"Which one...wrestler with a particularly weird name are you...?"
"Quinn Bai, you can call me QB, Miss Drew Barrymore!"
Bai Quinn already recognized the girl in front of him. Bai Quinn had watched several of her movies and had memory fragments of her character.
That image is of a beat-em-up girl wearing a black tights. Is it possible that this girl-next-door style girl will also turn into an action movie actress in the future?
The reason why Bai Quinn was so impressed by her came from Edward Norton. This girl is Edward Norton's ex-girlfriend!
However, according to Drew Barrymore's style of changing boyfriends several times a year, Bai Quinn felt that it was her friend who smiled a little shyly and spoke with a slight stumble that she "collected stamps".
"QB, I've watched your wrestling, and you have a great figure..." As he spoke, Drew Barrymore took two glasses of champagne from the waiter and handed one of them to Quinn.
Quinn Bai had no choice but to take the champagne, change the subject and ask: "Ms. Barrymore, I'm looking for Mr. Weinstein, do you know where he is?"
"Harvey?" Drew Barrymore glanced towards the stairs and smiled secretly, "He won't show up until about nine o'clock. At that time, Uncle Geffen will announce the first week sales of George's new album. He will definitely
Come to the hall to participate in the celebration."
Bai Quinn looked at the watch, there was still half an hour left!
Drew Barrymore took the initiative and took Quinn's arm, saying: "Let me take you to visit Uncle Geffen's house here. By the way, Uncle Geffen also has a beach..."
With a slight movement, Bai Quinn's arm was buried in a deep groove, and she could feel the soft touch through her suit!
This is too proactive!
However, Bai Quinn was very sober. If he had someone to chat with, at least he wouldn't be too embarrassed. But there was no need to go upstairs to visit the room. If he opened a room and found no one inside, it would be even more embarrassing if he didn't do something.
The key is that he really doesn't want to do anything. When he lives with his girlfriend, his life is very regular and his desires are reduced. Moreover, Drew Barrymore is also his friend's ex-girlfriend, so he is very repulsive in his heart.
Beach? The beach is great!
"How about, let's go to the beach to see..." Bai Quinn suggested.
In this way, the two young men quietly left the crowded and noisy hall, walked through the garden, the swimming pool, and arrived at the beach.
This section of the beach was originally a public beach, but because of tonight's activities, it has been isolated by David Geffen's bodyguards with movable barriers. There are also patrolling bodyguards on the edges of the barriers to prevent paparazzi from climbing over.
Drew Barrymore kicked off her high heels and rushed to the beach screaming. Bai Quinn, who was following behind, simply took off her shoes and socks, put them on the steps, and followed Drew towards the sea.
With a casual glance, Bai Quinn found a pair of shoes and a piece of clothing on the beach, and she didn't know who left them here.
Bai Quinn himself knew that his concentration was insufficient, and it would be difficult to control it when a woman took the initiative, especially when a girl he thought was good took the initiative to tease him.
However, Bai Quinn was not afraid of trouble in a place like this. Not only were there patrolling bodyguards nearby, but even people in the mansion could see the beach from the windows on the upper floors.
Watching Drew Barrymore running wildly on the beach for a while, showing off her graceful figure, Quinn didn't care about getting dirty on her body and simply sat on the beach with her legs straight, and the waves just hit her feet.
Drew Barrymore ran two laps and came to Bai Quinn's side to imitate his posture and sit down, accepting the caress of the waves with the soles of his feet.
"I'm going to be filming soon, a horror movie!"
"When it comes out, I'll go support you." Bai Quinn behaved like a listener, listening to Drew Barrymore talk about various things happening around her since she left the hall.
"There's nothing interesting about it, my character dies soon after the opening scene!"
"oh?"
"Cornet Cox and Neve Campbell are the stars!"
"They, I know..."
"You know what? I'm now reduced to playing a supporting role for a TV actor!"
"ah?"
"Hollywood is so cruel. I can't play a sexy loli anymore. Those old men need younger vases. My acting career ended when I was 14 years old..."
Bai Quinn knows how difficult it is for his girlfriend Sarah to transform from a girl character to a mature woman. If it hadn't been for his own movie, he doesn't know how long he would have had to wait before he had the chance.
"Transition is very difficult..."
Just as he was talking, Drew Barrymore rushed up to him, put one hand on his shoulder, and pressed the other hand on his chest.
"What are you looking at? What can be in the sea? Why don't you look at me? Am I not sexy?"
"You drank a little too much, Miss Barrymore..."
Bai Quinn thought of the rumors about Drew Barrymore, who was addicted to drugs and alcohol when he was a teenager, and had a flash marriage and divorce with someone he just met...
Do you want to push yourself down on the beach?
At this time, he just wanted to run away. He came here to do business today, but unexpectedly he got into trouble.
Bai Quinn pretended to look at her watch, gently took away the hand around her neck, and said, "Miss Barrymore, why don't we go back? It's almost nine o'clock."
Bah, it’s only eight forty-five.
However, Drew Barrymore was already a little tipsy and rested his head on Quinn's shoulder, not wanting to get up.
Bai Quinn didn't dare to look down into the deep ditch, so she could only look up into the distance... What seemed to be in the sea?
Looking carefully, the picture gradually became clearer. First, a head emerged, then wet long hair draped over the shoulders, and then a large area of fair skin. Gradually, a woman walked out of the sea, wearing clothes all over her body.
A pair of shorts.
Drew Barrymore also spotted the woman emerging from the sea, subconsciously moved away from Quinn and looked at the person.
The woman walked closer and closer, heading straight towards the two people on the beach, the mountains shook!
The music in Bai Quinn's mind exploded, and a hoarse voice sang heartbreakingly:
I don't wanna close my eyes
I don't wanna fall asleep
'Cause I'd miss you,baby
And I don't wanna miss a thing
'Cause even when I dream of you
The sweetest dream will never do
I'd still miss you,baby
And I don't wanna miss a thing
…
Just like when I met Edward Norton, when the woman's face was fully revealed, a clean and beautiful character wearing a purple cloak, like a fairy in a fantasy story, appeared at the same time.
The woman's long chestnut hair was soaked and stuck to her body. Her blue eyes were staring at Bai Quinn and Drew Barrymore on the beach. Her raised lips were slightly raised, as if she was mocking in her heart. Her face was slightly baby-fat.
Without any more expressions, without caring about the surprised eyes of the two people sitting on the beach, he walked past them with long legs, came to the pile of clothes on the beach, and put on his own clothes.
Quiet, as if he were far from the world, lively, and with a slight sense of alienation.
Just like what the song says, Bai Quinn's eyes followed the woman's movements, and she couldn't take her eyes away, for fear of missing even a tiny bit.
Maybe Bai Quinn's actions touched some part of Drew Barrymore's experience. She gave Bai Quinn a hard push, interrupting his obsessed gaze, then stood up, turned around and ran towards the mansion.
Naturally, he couldn't push. Seeing Drew Barrymore in a short skirt running back to the mansion from a distance, Bai Quinn also stood up, put her hands in her trouser pockets, straightened her appearance, and walked towards her shoes.
"Aren't you going to chase her?" The dressed woman said to Bai Quinn while wiping the seawater from her long hair.
By accident, without knowing how to answer, Bai Quinn automatically took on the character of a "Hollywood bastard" and started a performance.
"What can I say after catching up with her? I just met her for the first time fifteen minutes ago."
The woman shook her head slightly and said nothing.
"My name is Quinn Bai, and everyone calls me QB. Are you also Mr. Goffin's guest?"
The woman loosened her knotted hair and said, "Liv, Liv Tyler. I came here with my mother..."
…
At this time, on the third floor of the mansion, two men were standing on the balcony facing the sea, holding wine glasses and watching everything happening on the beach from a distance.
One of them said: "Steven, that boy dared to break little Drew's heart, otherwise, I will help your goddaughter vent her anger later?"
Another person laughed and said: "Why do you vent your anger? You called that kid here. David, can you go and drive him away? This is actually good. What little Drew needs is a stable relationship..."
…
