Chatty Hollywood

"What on earth do these two guys want to do!?"

In the student dormitory of Harvard University, Natalie Portman looked at the TV screen with a feeling of gritting her teeth.

As one of the representatives of post-80s actresses in Hollywood, Natalie is not in a good mood during this period——

Although she played Matilda in her debut work "This Killer Is Not So Cold", she played a very spiritual character, but after that, she did not contribute another work of similar level.

Even if she successfully wins the role of Queen Amidala, becoming the heroine of the "Star Wars Prequels" series will only make her more famous.

In particular, because of her bad compatibility with Hayden Christensen, who played the pre-black Samurai Anakin Skywalker, she and Hayden were even called by the media "the least compatible pairings on the big screen." couple".

——This is the evaluation Natalie received after the release of "Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones" this year.

This is naturally a very bad experience for Natalie, who has been very smart since she was a child and has always had smooth sailing since entering the entertainment industry.

You know, as a child star who became famous at a young age, Natalie’s life model was double Oscar winner Jodie Foster——

It is precisely because of this that she, like the other person, worked hard to enter Harvard, studying very troublesome psychology.

However, now she is being criticized for not being able to act well in love scenes...

Of course, this is actually nothing.

Which Hollywood star has not been criticized by the media?

What's more, she is participating in the "Star Wars" series of movies.

——This series may be very important in the history of film, but its plots have always been simple and immature, and George Lucas's guidance of actors' acting skills is often criticized.

— not to mention his throwback Shakespearean lines!

In short, no matter how good an actor is in this series, as long as George Lucas is not replaced, the result will probably not be much different.

——Is "Star Wars" still "Star Wars" without George Lucas?

What really makes Natalie depressed is that even though she gave up her pursuit of acting skills and wanted to rely on the "Star Wars Prequels" series to gain sufficient commercial appeal, it didn't work very well——

According to the survey, everyone's impression of Queen Amidala played by her is very average, far inferior to that of Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi.

Even the popularity of the green-skinned Master Yoda and the villain Count Dooku is higher than hers.

——Although Natalie plays the heroine, when the entire "Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones" is screened, it feels like she is a supporting actress.

Of course, if "Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones" can become the number one commercial blockbuster of the year, Natalie can tolerate this popularity problem.

——After all, she is also the only heavyweight female character in the "Star Wars Prequels" series of stories.

The problem is that although "Star Wars" is the national IP of the United States, during the production process, George Lucas

A lot of new technologies have been added, but "Star Wars Episode II" is unlikely to win the North American annual box office championship this year.

——This position currently seems to belong to someone else.

——This is the Charlotte Booth who is "taking over Las Vegas" in the news reports now.

Natalie was familiar with the name.

In fact, Charlotte is already the most famous director in Hollywood because her films often top the annual box office charts in North America.

Even if Natalie Portman's development route is more inclined to the field of literary films, Charlotte's name will not be unknown.

Natalie just didn't expect that even though George Lucas received the bonus of the "Star Wars" IP, he still didn't overwhelm him in the box office list.

This made Natalie somewhat depressed.

What makes Natalie even more depressed is that "Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest", or "Pirates of the Caribbean", was used by Charlotte Booth to overwhelm "Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones" series, the position of its heroine was actually quite close to Natalie at the beginning.

However, at that time, Natalie had already become the heroine of the "Star Wars Prequels" series, and it seemed not good to become the heroine of another major commercial series.

In addition, she always feels that although Charlotte Booth is a great director, the films she shoots are not particularly thoughtful, so they are not her cup of tea...

In short, thinking about it now, Natalie felt as if the opportunity had slipped away before her eyes.

*******

Of course, even so, Natalie wasn't particularly awkward.

What she really hates is Charlize Theron.

——There is no way, an actress who won the title of Oscar-winning actress at the age of 25 is a hateful enemy to other actresses in Hollywood.

Although Natalie is an actress born in the 1980s, she is only 6 years older than Charlize Theron, who was born in 1975.

This means that if both parties are not careful, there will be an intersection.

Of course, Natalie, who is just over 20 years old, is not in the same age group as the other character.

However, for Natalie, who looks relatively mature and thinks a lot about things, this possibility still needs to be considered.

What's more, due to various coincidences, Natalie became friends with Rachel Weisz, the heroine of the original "Mummy" series. Rachel Weisz seemed to dislike Charlize Theron...

At this time, Natalie Portman didn't know that in the future, for a chance to compete for an Oscar, she would not only take the role of Rachel Weisz, but also her boyfriend...

In short, Natalie is still very close to her friends at this time.

**********

Of course, bestie friendship is just the reason why Natalie leans towards Rachel Weisz.

She will pay attention to the news about Charlotte and Charlize "taking over Las Vegas", mainly because she is looking for a topic for her graduation thesis.

——Although, as a Hollywood star, you have a lot of privileges when you study in college. But in order to ensure that the school's basic reputation does not fall, this privilege is not unlimited.

At the very least, Natalie still had to write her graduation thesis well.

And Natalie majored in psychology, so she naturally wanted to find some materials from Hollywood, which she knew best.

then……

However, just as Natalie was racking her brains to figure out the psychological purpose of Charlotte Booth and Charlize Theron's "attack on Las Vegas", her mother called her -

"What, Spectre invited me to star in their new movie Blackjack!?"

——By the way, Natalie Portman’s mother is also her agent.
