In a rental apartment in Ocean Park, Santa Monica, breakfast time for single mothers with four children is always hectic and noisy.
Melanie Sloan has to go to work next time. She eats her food quickly and starts to clean up the dishes before the children are all finished. At the same time, she yells at her twin brother and sister who are fighting for a Hollywood Reporter: "hunt, don't rob Scarlett. If you tear up the newspaper, I'll tear your mouth. Oh, look what you're wearing. Go change your clothes, school bus and horse I'll be there in the morning
"Well, the paper's yours, upper class girl."
Wearing a funny red Christmas style Pajama, Hunter Johnson reluctantly let go of his newspaper and ran to his room to change.
Ever since she spent $15000 on the operation, Scarlett Johnson has won the nickname "upper class chick" from her family. After all, most people can't afford to spend so much money on teeth.
Scarlett doesn't care about her brother's sarcasm, but she likes it.
She earned the money for her teeth.
With a counterattack stare at her running brother, the girl can finally read today's Hollywood Reporter, which is the only newspaper the family subscribes to. If she wants to be famous in Hollywood, she can't pay attention to Hollywood information.
As soon as she scanned the front page, Scarlett exclaimed in surprise, "Wow, that's amazing. Thunderbolt baby has surpassed the game of the brave."
Sister Vanessa smell speech immediately gather over: "where, I see?"
Scarlett pointed to a striking report on the front page, and read: "three weeks of" Thunderclap baby "is 170 million US dollars, which surpasses" game of the brave ". Well," game of the brave "was released four weeks ago, and the box office is only 155.99 million US dollars, while" thunderclap baby "is 170.03 million US dollars."
"It's not as good as wonder woman 2 anyway," said Adrian Johnson, who was one year younger than Vanessa. "The goddess must be over 400 million, right?"
Scarlett looked for the next, shaking her head: "unfortunately, no oh, 398.73 million, still less than one million."
"In fact, I still think" mind catcher "is the most powerful, with a production cost of only $10 million. This time..." Vanessa got close to some of her sister's newspapers: "it's only 11% down, and the trend is still the best. The total box office has reached US $77.18 million. It's estimated that the total box office will be at least 150 million. Other blockbusters can't catch up with this rate of return."
Adrian Johnson nodded: "I love mind catcher, too."
Scarlett revealed: "you like Beckinsale, right?"
"So what? When I become famous, maybe I can pursue Kate."
The two sisters sneered at each other. Vanessa said, "Beckinsale can make two big movies at a time. She must be Simon westero's lover, but it's not your turn."
Adrian is unconvinced: "how can so many Hollywood actresses be Simon westrow's lovers? Besides, Kate is only 23 years old. Haven't you heard that Simon westrow likes older women, just like our mother."
Melanie Sloan just returned from the kitchen, smelling words staring at his son: "ed, what are you talking about? After eating, go to school."
"Mom, why can Vanessa drop out of school and I have to continue? I'd like to drop out and go to the video store and get a job like Quentin Tarantino. What do you think? "
Melanie Sloan Hula packed the plate and said quickly, "at least wait until you're 16, or your dad's going to freak out."
"He's not in Los Angeles."
"That's why I'm more crazy. Maybe I'll bring a gun and kill you."
The family was making a lot of noise. The car whistled outside. Scarlett immediately got up and said, "here's Scott."
Then he rushed to the door and looked downstairs. Sure enough, it was agent Scott Lambert who just got out of the car. Seeing Scarlett's figure, he raised his hand with a smile and went up the side stairs.
After greeting, Scott Lambert said to Melanie Sloan, "today's production meeting is very important, so I came earlier."
"Oh, sure, Scott, Scarlett and Vanessa, please."
"That's what I should do." The agent said, looking at the sisters: "you'd better put on your most beautiful clothes."
The agent said, but also made a tacit look at Scarlett, the little girl also instantly understand, while politely let the agent wait, while running to his room.
During this period, the agent gradually brought Vanessa a lot of audition opportunities. In addition, the agent suggested to be her sister's assistant, and Vanessa chose to drop out early after the new year. Although the United States has a K-12 compulsory education system, in theory, teenagers must finish high school, otherwise they will be prosecuted for their parents' legal responsibility, but in fact, as long as they are not serious, no one will take care of them.
Like Quentin, she dropped out of school at the age of 14 and entered the society. Later, she succeeded, and was said to be an inspirational talk.It was just after 8 o'clock when the sisters left the rental apartment.
Instead of driving directly to Malibu studios, Scott Lambert stopped at a modeling house in Santa Monica and asked a stylist who was familiar with her to give her and her sisters some serious advice before starting again.
Scarlett is more and more excited about this. She believes that Simon westero will be seen in the production meeting of Horse Whisperer. Vanessa, 16, is also very happy because she knows that the stylist once made a model for Meg Ryan, a very powerful one, and she doesn't have to pay for it from her sisters.
Only Mr. broker is looking forward to it.
After all, the younger sister is too young, but she is fresh and delicious. What's more, she is still a pair of sisters. Big people always have some curiosity preference. If Simon westero can take a fancy to these sisters, he will surely get double rewards for his painstaking efforts during this period of time.
Today is Friday, January 10th.
The three finally arrived at Denise studios, five minutes from 9 a.m., half an hour earlier.
But it doesn't matter.
If they want to stand out, the key is to work hard.
So until 9:30, after a 20 minute stroll in the park, the three people who failed to meet the opportunity came to building 1 of the administrative district to explain their intention and were taken to the third floor by the staff. However, the development of things is somewhat unexpected. The agent and Vanessa are not only asked to record, but also can only stay in a rest room. Only Scarlett can go to the production meeting. Even so, the little girl has encountered some security checks.
Even Vanessa responded this time.
Both envy and melancholy.
Envy sister can see Simon westero, a man in Hollywood at this time is simply a God in general. Melancholy is that they do not have this opportunity, after all, the girl is still quite confident about her body and appearance, at least she can get rid of her sister.
The structure of the office area is very open.
Scott and Vanessa see Robert Redford, Sam Neal, Christine Scott Thomas and other big stars through the glass wall one after another through the corridor, and, most importantly, Simon westero.
Frankly speaking, the young man who was born in the sky and has been more and more dazzling these years is definitely the object of adoration of countless girls. Before, Vanessa didn't feel much because she was too far away. The girl didn't expect that she would have the chance to be less than 10 feet away from Simon westrow.
When she saw the handsome figure walking through the corridor, she just turned to look at her. Vanessa's heart beat faster. This is a young girl who is in spring. When she meets a man who is far beyond expectation in all aspects, it only takes a moment to fall in love at first sight.
So, for the next hour, the girls were all in a trance. They unconsciously applied all the fairy tale templates they had seen from childhood to adulthood to themselves.
Well.
If How nice.
Once upon a time, the Horse Whisperer, adapted from the novel of the same name, was Robert Redford's last great film in his career, which cost 60 million US dollars and sold 180 million tickets worldwide. After the Horse Whisperer, Robert Redford never made any more films.
Moreover, "Horse Whisperer" is also a tragedy in the history of Oscar.
Even if the film is a little bit worse than the best film, there is absolutely no problem in nominating it. Unfortunately, I met Shakespeare in that year.
"Horse Whisperer" is produced by Disney, and Miramax is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Disney. The Weinstein brothers were in power at that time, and even other nominated films that were obviously beyond "Shakespeare's love history" in the same period could be suppressed. Naturally, another film from the same company would not be allowed to come out and dilute the votes of "Shakespeare's love history". As a result, it was a highly praised "Horse Whisperer" 》It was completely ignored in the 1999 awards season.
This time, frankly speaking, Simon can't guarantee anything. After all, there will be "Titanic" this year. If the big ship makes another brilliant achievement, he will take the initiative to "trough" next year.
All Simon can do is give Radford enough support.
The film is expected to start shooting in March. This is the first production meeting after the completion of the production team. Simon personally participated in the meeting, mainly for everyone to communicate face to face and discuss the script.
There is no doubt about the quality of the former Horse Whisperer, but it is not perfect.
Both the media and the general audience feel that the film is gentle and lacks shock and passion.
It's a lack of climax.
It's not a problem for Simon. The commercial film of danielis entertainment has a steady rhythm.
Through the preparation in advance and the discussion of this meeting, we quickly identified several emotional outburst points. For example, Tom deliberately blindfolded, and had nothing to do with taking pictures of the little girl grace driving. For example, the hero died in an accident in the end, and so on, which can be more shocking.
And the soundtrack, which is actually the key to mobilizing the audience's emotions.Simon invited John Williams, the winner of many Oscars for best score, to cooperate with the magnificent western grassland and the grand symphony.
Finally, it is the appropriate compression of the length of the film.
The original "Horse Whisperer" lasts 169 minutes, nearly three hours. No matter how good the film is, the audience will inevitably feel tired. This time Simon didn't ask for the standard two hours, but wanted Redford to do at least 150 minutes.
The meeting, which started at 9:30 a.m., lasted for one hour. Many issues were not discussed thoroughly, but Simon's time was limited, so the follow-up crew could only negotiate slowly.
At 10:30, the meeting is over. Let's leave the meeting room together.
Robert Redford and Simon fell behind side by side, discussing a few digressions: "this year's opening of Sundance on the 16th, Simon, will you go there in person?"
"Of course, the westrow party will continue. By the way, Bob, are there any good films this year? "
"The films submitted by danielis are great, but, you know, Simon and Sundance mainly support new people's new works, and some of your works can't be shortlisted."
"Of course, I also hope that Sundance can continue to tap more cutting-edge filmmakers."
The two said, waiting for the others to leave and walk out together. As soon as she left the conference room, she saw Scarlett Johnson standing in front of a man and a woman, obviously waiting for her.
Seeing Scarlett, Robert Redford suddenly thought of something and said to Simon, "that's it, Simon. I'll see you in Sundance."
Then he nodded to the little girl and left first.
Simon just looked at some little girl.
At the meeting just now, the goblin's eyes were brilliant. Simon was hit by clumsy waves several times, and then he reflected. It was probably some arrangement of her subordinates. The little girl knew this arrangement for some reason. She didn't resist it, but was obviously looking forward to it.
"Mr. westlow, I just want to thank you again for giving me this opportunity."
"I saw your audition video and it was great, so, Scarlett, you deserve it."
That's true.
Even though Simon has always believed that learning is very important, he knows that sometimes, when God gives him a treat, outsiders can only envy him.
Scarlett sipped her more elegant mouth after orthodontic treatment, and cleverly changed the topic: "Mr. westrow, this is my agent, Scott Lambert, and this is my sister Vanessa. She is also, um, an actress."
Scott Lambert shook hands with the young man in front of him with a look of honor. When he saw the young girl beside him, he was not lost, but pleased.
Yes.
Simon was really surprised. In fact, he didn't feel much about Scarlett Johnson all the time. He just didn't expect that this girl's sister was quite in line with her own taste. She was obviously Slavic, tall, fair skinned, and had delicate facial features. She didn't look like Scarlett at all.
Vanessa Johnson was also a little lucky that her sister didn't blurt out that she was her assistant. Otherwise, she would have been looked down upon by Simon westlow. She noticed that the man in front of her looked at her, and then she suddenly reacted. Her face was ruddy immediately. She was at a loss for a moment, and then she thought of reaching out: "Hello, Mr. westlow, my name is Vanessa."
"Hello," Simon shook hands with the girl in front of him. Suddenly, he had some bad taste. He didn't know what it would be like for his sister to be a big star in this life. So he said, "I have a meeting right now. If you are not in a hurry, you can wait a moment and invite you to lunch."
"Ah..."
Vanessa reacted, her eyes wide open.
Scarlett felt a little humiliated when she saw her sister's appearance as a geese, so she quickly agreed, "thank you, Mr. westrow. It's a great honor."
Even though Scott Lambert had a million hopes in his heart to have lunch with westrow, he wisely refused and said that he would trouble Simon to send the sisters home after dinner.
Simon didn't ask her to stay, so he asked her to arrange for sister Johnson, and then he hurried to another meeting room in the same building.
There's also a crew here.
To be exact, it has not yet taken shape. At present, only the director, Bryan De Palma, has been confirmed. The name of the project is also famous in the 1990s - "secrets of Los Angeles".
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!

The agent said, but also made a tacit look at Scarlett, the little girl also instantly understand, while politely let the agent wait, while running to his room. During this period, the agent gradually brought Vanessa a lot of audition opportunities. In addition, the agent suggested to be her sister's assistant, and Vanessa chose to drop out early after the new year. Although the United States has a K-12 compulsory education system, in theory, teenagers must finish high school, otherwise they will be prosecuted for their parents' legal responsibility, but in fact, as long as they are not serious, no one will take care of them. Like Quentin, she dropped out of school at the age of 14 and entered the society. Later, she succeeded, and was said to be an inspirational talk.It was just after 8 o'clock when the sisters left the rental apartment. Instead of driving directly to Malibu studios, Scott Lambert stopped at a modeling house in Santa Monica and asked a stylist who was familiar with her to give her and her sisters some serious advice before starting again. Scarlett is more and more excited about this. She believes that Simon westero will be seen in the production meeting of Horse Whisperer. Vanessa, 16, is also very happy because she knows that the stylist once made a model for Meg Ryan, a very powerful one, and she doesn't have to pay for it from her sisters. Only Mr. broker is looking forward to it. After all, the younger sister is too young, but she is fresh and delicious. What's more, she is still a pair of sisters. Big people always have some curiosity preference. If Simon westero can take a fancy to these sisters, he will surely get double rewards for his painstaking efforts during this period of time. Today is Friday, January 10th. The three finally arrived at Denise studios, five minutes from 9 a.m., half an hour earlier. But it doesn't matter. If they want to stand out, the key is to work hard. So until 9:30, after a 20 minute stroll in the park, the three people who failed to meet the opportunity came to building 1 of the administrative district to explain their intention and were taken to the third floor by the staff. However, the development of things is somewhat unexpected. The agent and Vanessa are not only asked to record, but also can only stay in a rest room. Only Scarlett can go to the production meeting. Even so, the little girl has encountered some security checks. Even Vanessa responded this time. Both envy and melancholy. Envy sister can see Simon westero, a man in Hollywood at this time is simply a God in general. Melancholy is that they do not have this opportunity, after all, the girl is still quite confident about her body and appearance, at least she can get rid of her sister. The structure of the office area is very open. Scott and Vanessa see Robert Redford, Sam Neal, Christine Scott Thomas and other big stars through the glass wall one after another through the corridor, and, most importantly, Simon westero. Frankly speaking, the young man who was born in the sky and has been more and more dazzling these years is definitely the object of adoration of countless girls. Before, Vanessa didn't feel much because she was too far away. The girl didn't expect that she would have the chance to be less than 10 feet away from Simon westrow. When she saw the handsome figure walking through the corridor, she just turned to look at her. Vanessa's heart beat faster. This is a young girl who is in spring. When she meets a man who is far beyond expectation in all aspects, it only takes a moment to fall in love at first sight. So, for the next hour, the girls were all in a trance. They unconsciously applied all the fairy tale templates they had seen from childhood to adulthood to themselves. Well. If How nice. Once upon a time, the Horse Whisperer, adapted from the novel of the same name, was Robert Redford's last great film in his career, which cost 60 million US dollars and sold 180 million tickets worldwide. After the Horse Whisperer, Robert Redford never made any more films. Moreover, "Horse Whisperer" is also a tragedy in the history of Oscar. Even if the film is a little bit worse than the best film, there is absolutely no problem in nominating it. Unfortunately, I met Shakespeare in that year. "Horse Whisperer" is produced by Disney, and Miramax is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Disney. The Weinstein brothers were in power at that time, and even other nominated films that were obviously beyond "Shakespeare's love history" in the same period could be suppressed. Naturally, another film from the same company would not be allowed to come out and dilute the votes of "Shakespeare's love history". As a result, it was a highly praised "Horse Whisperer" It was completely ignored in the 1999 awards season. This time, frankly speaking, Simon can't guarantee anything. After all, there will be "Titanic" this year. If the big ship makes another brilliant achievement, he will take the initiative to "trough" next year. All Simon can do is give Radford enough support. The film is expected to start shooting in March. This is the first production meeting after the completion of the production team. Simon personally participated in the meeting, mainly for everyone to communicate face to face and discuss the script. There is no doubt about the quality of the former Horse Whisperer, but it is not perfect. Both the media and the general audience feel that the film is gentle and lacks shock and passion. It's a lack of climax. It's not a problem for Simon. The commercial film of danielis entertainment has a steady rhythm. Through the preparation in advance and the discussion of this meeting, we quickly identified several emotional outburst points. For example, Tom deliberately blindfolded, and had nothing to do with taking pictures of the little girl grace driving. For example, the hero died in an accident in the end, and so on, which can be more shocking. And the soundtrack, which is actually the key to mobilizing the audience's emotions.Simon invited John Williams, the winner of many Oscars for best score, to cooperate with the magnificent western grassland and the grand symphony. Finally, it is the appropriate compression of the length of the film. The original "Horse Whisperer" lasts 169 minutes, nearly three hours. No matter how good the film is, the audience will inevitably feel tired. This time Simon didn't ask for the standard two hours, but wanted Redford to do at least 150 minutes. The meeting, which started at 9:30 a.m., lasted for one hour. Many issues were not discussed thoroughly, but Simon's time was limited, so the follow-up crew could only negotiate slowly. At 10:30, the meeting is over. Let's leave the meeting room together. Robert Redford and Simon fell behind side by side, discussing a few digressions: "this year's opening of Sundance on the 16th, Simon, will you go there in person?" "Of course, the westrow party will continue. By the way, Bob, are there any good films this year? " "The films submitted by danielis are great, but, you know, Simon and Sundance mainly support new people's new works, and some of your works can't be shortlisted." "Of course, I also hope that Sundance can continue to tap more cutting-edge filmmakers." The two said, waiting for the others to leave and walk out together. As soon as she left the conference room, she saw Scarlett Johnson standing in front of a man and a woman, obviously waiting for her. Seeing Scarlett, Robert Redford suddenly thought of something and said to Simon, "that's it, Simon. I'll see you in Sundance." Then he nodded to the little girl and left first. Simon just looked at some little girl. At the meeting just now, the goblin's eyes were brilliant. Simon was hit by clumsy waves several times, and then he reflected. It was probably some arrangement of her subordinates. The little girl knew this arrangement for some reason. She didn't resist it, but was obviously looking forward to it. "Mr. westlow, I just want to thank you again for giving me this opportunity." "I saw your audition video and it was great, so, Scarlett, you deserve it." That's true. Even though Simon has always believed that learning is very important, he knows that sometimes, when God gives him a treat, outsiders can only envy him. Scarlett sipped her more elegant mouth after orthodontic treatment, and cleverly changed the topic: "Mr. westrow, this is my agent, Scott Lambert, and this is my sister Vanessa. She is also, um, an actress." Scott Lambert shook hands with the young man in front of him with a look of honor. When he saw the young girl beside him, he was not lost, but pleased. Yes. Simon was really surprised. In fact, he didn't feel much about Scarlett Johnson all the time. He just didn't expect that this girl's sister was quite in line with her own taste. She was obviously Slavic, tall, fair skinned, and had delicate facial features. She didn't look like Scarlett at all. Vanessa Johnson was also a little lucky that her sister didn't blurt out that she was her assistant. Otherwise, she would have been looked down upon by Simon westlow. She noticed that the man in front of her looked at her, and then she suddenly reacted. Her face was ruddy immediately. She was at a loss for a moment, and then she thought of reaching out: "Hello, Mr. westlow, my name is Vanessa." "Hello," Simon shook hands with the girl in front of him. Suddenly, he had some bad taste. He didn't know what it would be like for his sister to be a big star in this life. So he said, "I have a meeting right now. If you are not in a hurry, you can wait a moment and invite you to lunch." "Ah..." Vanessa reacted, her eyes wide open. Scarlett felt a little humiliated when she saw her sister's appearance as a geese, so she quickly agreed, "thank you, Mr. westrow. It's a great honor." Even though Scott Lambert had a million hopes in his heart to have lunch with westrow, he wisely refused and said that he would trouble Simon to send the sisters home after dinner. Simon didn't ask her to stay, so he asked her to arrange for sister Johnson, and then he hurried to another meeting room in the same building. There's also a crew here. To be exact, it has not yet taken shape. At present, only the director, Bryan De Palma, has been confirmed. The name of the project is also famous in the 1990s - "secrets of Los Angeles".
