Chapter 769 Find Her

"Oh, it turned out to be a plan, why do I only feel that we are gambling with a sum of money and hundreds of lives?" Cate Blanchett's tone was sharp and fast, with a faint hint of anger. Feeling, leaned forward and asked: "Then, tell me, Mr. Bond, what else can you observe?"

"About you, Miss Linde," Eric stared at Kate and said, "Well, your appearance is a problem, and you are worried that people will not take you seriously because of this."

"People always think pretty women have no brains."

"That's right, so this woman in front of me pretends to be more masculine than other female colleagues at work, and is even a little annoying. What's more ironic is that her boss will make her feel uneasy because of this. It's arrogant, so she doesn't get any promotions. Plus, I usually only speculate on small children, but judging from the sarcasm you just ignored me about your parents, I dare say you're an orphan."

Cate Blanchett leaned on the back of the chair, although she still looked proud, but the slight flickering in her eyes when looking at Eric was just right to reveal Vesper Lindt's disguise. The embarrassment and embarrassment displayed, and after a moment of silence, she spoke again and countered: "Well, Mr. Bond, judging from your meticulous dress, you should have been to Oxford, so you think people should dress like this, but Your attitude is so disdainful, it shows that you are not a rich boy, your classmates at school must have left you with some unforgettable memories. This means that you were sponsored to complete your studies, so your temper Not so good. Since your first impression of me is an orphan, I guess you should too, right?"

"Ok, very good," Eric beckoned to the waiter not far away, looked at Kate again, and said, "I dare say, Miss Blanchett, if you appear in a pure green screen special effect movie in the future, your performance will be excellent."

Eric was only wearing a casual t-shirt and khaki trousers today, and he just recited his lines very casually according to his memory, but Kate was able to play him as James Bond in a suit without hindrance. , and the performance is flawless, this acting skills are absolutely impeccable.

Cate Blanchett put away her emotions, the smell of Vesper Lind disappeared from her body, she became a little more shy, and smiled: "Thank you, Mr. Williams, for that, I... take On to the role."

"Of course," Eric nodded, picked up the menu and ordered a random lunch, indicating that Kate was free.

Suppressing the excitement in her heart, Kate lowered her head and flipped a few pages of the menu at random to calm down. Only then did she feel like she understood the menu. She randomly ordered lunch and handed the menu to the waiter. She raised her head, just looking at the menu. When the man on the other side was looking at herself with a smile and pursing her lips, she still couldn't help asking the question that had been bothering her these days: "Mr. Williams, I've always been curious, why is it me? I mean, I I don't think there's anything special about me, and I'm not as pretty as those Bond girls in the past, I don't even understand, how did you find me?"

"The casting of this 007 series has been started since the project was established last year. The person I want to play Vesper Linde should be a woman with a classical and elegant atmosphere.

In terms of personality, she is proud on the surface, fragile on the inside, and at the same time, her acting skills need to be good enough," Eric looked at Kate and explained half-truths: "Most of the candidates before you can't satisfy me, By chance, I saw a miniseries of yours on TV called Hartland, and I thought maybe you could try it. "

"Hartland" is a mini-television that Kate just starred in last year. Of course, she clearly remembers the heroine she played, but in some aspects it matches Eric's description, but she still finds it a little difficult With confidence, he said, "That's all?"

Eric smiled and said: "If you have to get to the bottom of it, um, of course I know more. For example, you were a tomboy when you were young, you liked to wear boys' clothes, and even shaved your head. After graduating from high school, you were in Mrs. Wei studied drama for a period of time, and was admitted to the University of Melbourne to study economics. After a year, she dropped out of school and began to travel around the world. After returning to Australia, you went to the Australian National Academy of Drama again. "The Dance of Fuka" won the Sydney Drama Review Board's Best Newcomer Award. You start getting TV or film roles while you're on stage, but I also know that your first screen show was in Egypt, Universal During your travels, you played a boxing match audience member in a local TV movie to make money."

Kate was only a little surprised at first, but the more she listened, the more surprised she became. In the end, she was stunned.

"So, Miss Blanchett, if you think I've suddenly found you and wanting you to play the role of Vesper Lynd seems a little frivolous and abrupt, then you're quite wrong. Knowing far more than you can imagine, several films and TV series tapes of your appearance are still in my office, so, is there anything else to ask?"

"No, no more. But," her mind turned, Kate's face turned slightly red, thinking of some faint lace rumors about the man in front of her, she raised her head and glanced at Eric, she wanted to say something, but she didn't know whether to do it or not. the opening.

Eric still had a smile on his mouth, and joked: "Are you trying to say that you are actually a Lesbian, so I don't want to hit you?"

This inhumane privacy was pierced, and Kate's face showed a faint panic: "Ah, you know all about this?"

"This is my guess based on your information. They are not boring enough to investigate your sexual orientation, and, don't worry, I will not say it. Besides, you are not my type. The only thing I care about is you. Whether the performance can satisfy me." Eric said, leaning forward, and said: "However, Kate, I can guarantee that you are definitely not Lesbian, you are at most bisexual."

"Mr. Williams, let's not discuss this topic any further."

Eric felt the waiter come over with the lunch, straightened his body, let the waiter put the lunch in front of him, nodded with a smile: "ok, back to the topic, the movie will start in June, but I hope Can you get to Hollywood ahead of time, familiarize yourself with the environment, and cooperate with the pre-promotion of the movie, is there any problem?"

Although Kate's character can't be said to be strong, she has always been very independent. This kind of dialogue environment where people are completely in control makes Kate feel a little uncomfortable.

However, she is not the kind of person who likes to be unconventional, and she is more aware of how rare the opportunity to fall from the sky is. After all, she is still just an ordinary little actor, without the qualifications of those Hollywood superstars. After a little hesitation, she nodded and said, "No problem, the TV series I'm starring in now will be completed before the tenth of next month, and then I can rush to Hollywood."

Eric nodded and said, "That's it."

Kate snorted, turned her head to look at her agent Ron Rather, who was sitting not far away, and summoned up her courage to turn her head to Eric and said, "Mr. Williams, my agent is over there, you Do you want to talk to him?"

"No," Eric shook his head and said: "About trivial matters such as remuneration, someone will contact you. Well, in Hollywood, if you want to find a more professional agency, you can go to icm, just say I ordered it, and they will arrange it for you."

Kate said weakly, "I think Ron is fine."

"I'm just giving you a suggestion, of course you can keep your own ideas," Eric said with a smile as he picked up the red wine poured by the waiter, "Then, I wish us a happy cooperation, Kate."

"Happy cooperation, um, Eric," Hearing Eric changing his title, Kate also carefully changed to a more intimate title, and then brought the red wine to her lips.

After lunch, Cate Blanchett took her agent to take her leave. Eric didn't leave in a hurry, ordered a cup of coffee, and read the report about the Golden Globes in the newspaper selected before the meal. He summoned the assistant Peter Rich, who was not far away, and handed the "dolly" magazine to the other party, saying, "The girl on the cover, find her."

Peter Ritchie glanced at the baby-faced girl named Miranda Kerr on the cover of the magazine and nodded. As a top student at Stanford University, he certainly wouldn't be stupid enough to ask Eric what to look for. It's a sign of incompetence, there is no such person in Eric's assistant office.

However, after some hesitation, Peter Ritchie asked, "Mr. Williams, then what?"

There must be a reason.

"Well, I'm going to add a shot of a tennis girl brushing past Bond in the film."

Peter Ritchie's mouth twitched. Although Eric said it seriously, he still felt that the reason was a bit ridiculous. Boss, isn't your method of picking up girls too simple and rude?

Although he was sullen in his heart, Peter Ritchie didn't show it in the slightest, and took note of it respectfully.

Departing from Sydney in the afternoon, three hours later, Eric's private business jet landed in Cairns, northeastern Queensland, Australia. However, there is still more than 80 kilometers away from the "Red Alert" crew.

Several staff members of the crew of "Red Alert" came to greet them in person. Two off-road vehicles took a group of people from Cairns all the way to the north. The advantage of the sparsely populated area is that the vehicles can gallop freely on the open road. Less than one We arrived at our destination in half an hour.

The off-road vehicle was parked in a seaside town outside the Daintree Rainforest National Park, and the crew was stationed here. According to the crew members who traveled together, the main shooting location was not far from the hills on both sides of the Daintree River.

Australia is in midsummer in January, and the sky is very long. Although it is two o'clock in the afternoon from Sydney, it is close to seven o'clock in the evening. There are already burning clouds in the distance, but the sky does not mean to darken.

After getting off the car, Eric looked around. Because of the sparse population, there were not even decent hotels in the town, and hundreds of crew members could only live in temporary prefabricated houses. The surrounding people also seem to be very rare, as if to show that they have no shortage of land, and the houses of each resident are even separated by a long distance.

An assistant producer named Nick Cavill stood by and asked, "Mr. Williams, the crew closes at about 7:30. Are you waiting here or come and see?"

Hearing the staff's question, Eric looked at the hills in the distance and said, "Let's go over and take a look."

"Okay, come with me," Nick Cavill nodded, led Eric towards the low hill covered with green meadows not far away, and did not forget to explain: "The main set of the crew is on this grass. The other side of the hill."

It took a few minutes for everyone to climb up the grassy hills and look around, a big river with golden rays of light appeared in the field of vision. There were large tracts of gentle grassy slopes and overgrown bushes on both sides of the river. Looking from a distance, it is a dense virgin forest.

Below the grassy hill is the filming location of the "Red Alert" crew. Today should be a group show, with hundreds of people scattered everywhere, looking a little messy, and a few gunshots can be heard faintly.

Although hundreds of people appeared in the field of vision, Eric still caught Catherine's figure at a glance. The woman habitually wore a white long-sleeved t-shirt, dark jeans, and two bulging tool bags hung on her waist. Wearing a black baseball cap, because of his standing posture of more than 1.8 meters, even standing in a crowd that is basically male, he looks so outstanding.

Before walking down the grassy hill, Eric and others were found, waiting for them to approach, Catherine had already greeted them. ⑧☆miào⑧☆bi(.*)gé⑧☆.$.

Eric greeted Katherine, Terrence Malick and other crew members one by one, and then said, "I'm just here to have a look, you can continue."

"Today is almost here, we are rehearsing a blasting scene, but the official shooting can only wait until tomorrow," Catherine explained softly, looking at Eric Win, holding a thin script in her hand.

Although her character is independent and strong, Catherine has a very comfortable and soft voice. Well, at least Eric thinks so. He has not seen what Catherine is like when she quarrels with others.

"Oh, is there anything I can help with?" Eric stood beside Catherine and looked at the script in her hand.

"It's just right, come and see, this shot is not suitable for us to shoot like this," Catherine said, pointing to several surrounding spots. Producer and screenwriter Terrence Malick, Sean Penn, A Several leading actors such as Derian Brody and John Cusack also joined in.

After discussing for more than ten minutes, the filming plan was roughly determined. Catherine announced the end of work. Most of the extras began to climb over the grassy hills to return to the town in groups. Wet all kinds of shooting props, simply covered most of the items in the venue with a rain cover, and then carried the more expensive camera equipment back to the base camp.

Eric looked suspiciously at the situation in which people randomly dropped a lot of equipment in the field, and immediately reacted. The small town residents where the crew was stationed died only a few hundred people, not even much more than the number of the crew. The surrounding area of ​​hundreds of square kilometers is even more uninhabited. Except for the beasts in the tropical rain forest, it is estimated that no one will be interested in the filming props of the crew.
