"Vicky, is that the Sunset Tower Hotel diagonally across from Andaz?" In the driver's seat, a white man in his thirties with a rough face asked, staring at the road ahead.

"Of course, are there two more Sunset Tower hotels on Sunset Boulevard?" Virginia replied from the co-pilot, took out a small mirror from her handbag, looked at the makeup on her face, and took out another lipstick Carefully smeared the corners of his lips a few times, which somehow made the man in the driver's seat a little dissatisfied: "Vicky, I really don't understand, why are you getting involved with that hairy boy, the two of you are ten different. age."

"It's all said, you don't have to worry about my personal affairs," Virginia blurted out, and quickly realized that she shouldn't talk to her brother like this, her tone softened: "Mike, I am very happy with him, he Although he is young, he is very considerate to me."

Michael Madsen was still frowning: "That guy isn't destined to promise you anything, is he? He's not going to marry you."

Virginia heard this sentence, her eyes dimmed, and she said softly: "Originally, I didn't expect him to marry me."

"But you are already twenty-eight years old. I hope you can find a reliable man to marry, instead of giving you a flirtatious lover like this now." Michael's tone was a little excited, and he finally said that he couldn't bear it. Live on the steering wheel for a pat, then turned to look at his sister: "I hope you are happy, Vicky."

"Can you be happy when you are married?" Virginia took the lipstick and the small mirror back into her handbag and said, "Our parents are not happy at all, and you, you have already been divorced once."

Michael Madsen continued to persuade: "Because of this, I hope you can find a good man. There must still be good men in this world. Even if...you don't find the right one, just try again. You see, Although I have been divorced, Qina and I are very happy now, and in half a year, you may have a little nephew or little niece."

"Okay, I get it, Mike, let's not talk about this topic today, okay?" Virginia, like all the older women who were forced to marry, began to divert the topic, because her parents were divorced and her mother was busy with her career. She was almost brought up by her elder brother who was four years older than her, so she could ignore her parents' words, but she attached great importance to her relationship with her elder brother.

"Well, if you don't like it, I won't say it," Michael Madsen reluctantly looked at the road ahead.

Michael stopped the topic and Virginia was relieved. The two were quiet for a while, looked out of the car window, and saw that they were about to reach the Sunset Tower Hotel before Virginia said again: "Mike, I know you don't. Like him, but don't be rude, I hope you can get the role he said."

Michael Madsen said: "Of course I won't be rude, but this time I just want to see your new movie, don't expect me to please him for a role."

Virginia is a little helpless. She understands this brother's temperament very well. To put it nicely, it means indifferent to fame and fortune, and to say it badly means not to make progress. His original intention as an actor was more than making a living and becoming famous, and it is still the same now.

The two said, and soon came to the Sunset Tower Hotel. Virginia saw a lot of paparazzi with cameras hanging on their chests gathered outside the hotel, and quickly took out the sunglasses and put them on, but even this did not stop her keen intuition. When the paparazzi found her figure, a group of people rushed over to the car window and patted them randomly.

Seeing these guys dying for the news, Michael reluctantly slowed down the speed of the car, which made the paparazzi even more excited, and slapped the window and shouted at Virginia in the car.

But despite the paparazzi yelling and getting no reply, the two brothers and sisters drove the car directly to the underground parking lot and entered the hotel along the internal elevator.

"Another one, Julia Roberts also came just now. I don't know what the hell Firefly is up to?" A group of paparazzi were stopped by the security guard and could only continue to wait outside the hotel in disappointment, hoping that the next visitor would reveal something. specific news.

"You've only been here for less than ten minutes, Jake. In the past half an hour, several big Hollywood figures have entered."

"Oh, Kane, who else has come?" asked the paparazzi named Gick.

Kane leaned into Jike's ear and whispered: "Disney CEO, Michael Eisner, a vice president of distribution at Warner, and Paramount president Nader Tarn, Columbia's vice president Amy Eisner. Pascal, four of the seven major film companies have come, let's see, I think the remaining three will definitely send people."

Gick fantasized about the picture in Kane's description, and couldn't help taking a breath: "No way, is there something big going on in Hollywood?"

Kane shook his head: "This is not clear, but it must be related to fireflies. I heard from an informant in the hotel that there is a party at night."

"Evening?" Gek looked at his watch: "It's only 1:35, you must have made a mistake. If there is a party at night, how could these big men come over now?"

"It can't be wrong, my informants work in the kitchen and they're tasked with preparing food for the evening party."

Gek asked, "Kane, what do you think it will be?"

"Perhaps... well, this incident is too abnormal, and I can't think of it, but during this time, wasn't there news that Firefly was planning to acquire New Line Film Company? I don't know if it has something to do with it. New Line is already a top second-tier film company. If it merges with Firefly, with Eric Williams' blockbuster movies and New Line's distribution capabilities, it may take a few years before a new film company emerges in Hollywood. giant."

Jike guessed: "Didn't you say that Firefly took the lead this time? Could it be that Firefly's new films have to choose distributors, so the top executives of the Seventh Congress came together one after another?"

After saying this, Kane and the other paparazzi who were listening to the conversation were stunned for a moment, and then they all laughed. One of the paparazzi sarcastically said: "How is it possible, you may not pay too much attention to the appeal of fireflies, if it is The film directed by Eric Williams himself may be able to attract seven high-level executives. After all, he has fully proved his strength. But everyone knows that the distribution rights of Eric's next two films already belong to Fox."

Gick also felt that his guess was a little unrealistic, scratched his head and retorted softly: "Didn't you say that "Scent of a Woman" and "Scent of a Woman" were written by Eric Williams himself?"

However, his words were not taken seriously by the other paparazzi, and a group of people continued to discuss the purpose of these people's gathering, while looking forward to the arrival of others.

A lot of times, guesses that seem ridiculous are often true.

This event is really just an internal test session hosted by Firefly for "Island" and "Steel Magnolia".

When the invitation was issued, Eric also thought that the Big Six would probably only send one or two ordinary executives, but he soon received the first news, and Disney's Michael Eisner didn't know what to think. Yes, let the assistant contact Firefly and say that he will be there to watch the film in person, but with this response, Eric, who originally planned to hold a test film in the small screening room of Firefly headquarters, changed the test film location to Sunset Tower Hotel After all, Michael Eisner's status is placed there, and it would be very disrespectful to do it in Firefly's small theater.

Next, several other major film companies may have also heard the news that Michael Eisner will participate in the audition, and have expressed that they will send important executives to participate.

However, only Michael Eisner, the CEO at the helm of the Big Seven, was present. The others, Paramount sent a president, Columbia came to Amy Pascal, who had a good relationship with Eric, and several others Companies are either vice presidents or heavyweight executives. But even so, this lineup is quite luxurious. The executives of the seven major film companies have gathered together for the distribution rights of one or two movies. It is estimated that it has not happened in the past ten years.

The Virginia brothers and sisters took the elevator to the floor of the screening room. As soon as they walked out, Virginia saw Eric's assistant, Alan Fissman, waiting by the elevator.

"Hello, Ellen, where is Eric?" Virginia asked.

"Mr. Williams is very busy and can't come out to pick you up, Miss Madsen, please come with me, I'll take you to the lounge." Allen said politely.

Virginia nodded disappointedly. Michael Madsen, who saw this scene, didn't know the specific situation. He directly thought that Eric was a little cold to his sister, and was very angry. However, although they were very angry, they did not show it. The two followed Alan to a lounge.

After walking in, Virginia saw that a lot of people had gathered in the lounge. The director of the "Steel Magnolia" crew, Herbert Ross, and the stars Julia Roberts, Sally Field, Shirley McClain and others, but only Jonathan Demme was alone in the crew of "Cry on a Island". It seems that the situation is a bit bleak. This situation is not difficult to understand. The two young actors of "Cry on a Island" are not suitable for participating in the afternoon. The audition meeting of , therefore did not come, and the other actors are not well-known, and they are not leading actors, so they are not eligible to participate in this audition meeting. The crew of "Steel Magnolia" is different. There is no need to say that Herbert Ross is the director. Although "Steel Magnolia" is a group show, in addition to the famous Julia Roberts, Sally Field , Shirley MacLean both carry a series of Oscar awards, and their qualifications and fame are even more than Julia, and the other three leading actresses are also famous actresses for a long time.

Seeing Virginia appear, Jonathan Demme finally showed an expression like seeing a comrade-in-arms, and stood up first to say hello to Virginia. The members of the "Steel Magnolia" crew also stood up and greeted the girl.
