Chapter 226 The survival rules of Hollywood actresses
Not far from the set of "The Matrix", there is also a sequel to a classic science fiction film, "Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace", which is also being filmed.

It is said to be a sequel, but it is actually a reboot.

In order to convince George Lucas, 20th Century Fox spent a lot of effort. But George Lucas was initially unmoved until recently.

The reason why George Lucas didn't want to film it before was actually because of Little Gilbert.

"Because I want to put the Star Wars franchise in your hands, little Gilbert." George Lucas said bluntly.

"Me?" Little Gilbert was a little surprised.

George Lucas did mention it, but little Gilbert thought he was joking and declined.

George Lucas said, "Yeah, but you turned me down. It seems like you have a better project now."

Because the set of "The Matrix" was not far from here, George Lucas brought Natalie Portman with him to have a look.

Natalie Portman acted like a quiet lady. She asked the director to bring her here, mainly because she wanted to see what the rumored little Gilbert director was like.

Little Gilbert glared at Charlize Theron, and she realized later: "I know I was wrong, I shouldn't have said such things."

Natalie Portman was thinking wildly when a tall woman wearing a black tights walked over.

But Charlize Theron then thought about it and realized that "The Matrix" may not be worse than "Star Wars".

"Okay, Nat, I'll buy you some coffee when you have time." Little Gilbert said casually.

But Natalie Portman immediately seized the opportunity: "Really? When?"

It is said that the Hollywood Squid Club admires Natalie Portman, but little Gilbert has no feelings for her and is not as cute as Scarlett.

Charlize Theron followed and asked, "You're not interested in her anymore, are you?"

And Director Gilbert Jr. is indeed a handsome guy in the directing world, and he is indeed no worse than those well-known first-line male stars.

Natalie Portman showed an innocent smile: "Okay, I'll remember it. We can exchange contact information so that you can contact me at any time."

However, his strange action gave Natalie Portman a different feeling.

"Director Gilbert, I'll take my leave then." Natalie Portman's courtesy was impeccable.

After the two sides chatted for a while, George Lucas said goodbye and invited little Gilbert to visit the "Star Wars" set next door when he had time.

"The Diary of Anne Frank" is a story more famous than "Schindler's List" and tells the story of the squid people's experiences.

"Uh," he didn't expect to ask this question. Little Gilbert immediately replied: "Just next week, it depends on your time."

After Scarlet was appreciated by Little Gilbert, she gradually moved towards the position of a Hollywood child star. After all, she had been starring in Little Gilbert's movies since she was a child.

Natalie Portman is a very planning and scheming girl. She is a few years older than Scarlett, but much more mature than Scarlett.

Natalie Portman smiled softly: "You can call me Nat."

With this calculation and action ability, even famous actresses who have been in Hollywood for a long time may not be as strong as her.

Not to mention her trust in little Gilbert, just the content shot these days makes Charlize Theron full of confidence.

"Nate, nice to meet you." Little Gilbert then greeted and stopped paying attention to Natalie Portman.

"It's really not easy..." Little Gilbert walked back to the set.

George Lucas also introduced: "Little Gilbert, this is Natalie Portman."

When she heard that George Lucas had wanted to invite Gilbert Jr. to direct the "Star Wars" series, Natalie Portman had a deeper understanding of the status of the director in front of her.

How can I put it this way? It's like other squid people are paying attention to me as a pure squid actor, but little Gilbert, a squid director, actually ignores her.

This change of tone seemed not that she wanted to seize this opportunity to get to know little Gilbert, but that little Gilbert wanted to please her, and the identities of host and guest were suddenly reversed.

"Hello, Miss Portman." Little Gilbert shook hands with this not-so-pretty girl.

After looking around the set, Natalie Portman was sure that Director Gilbert Jr. was very capable because the set was orderly and everyone was in order.

After all, the star list of "Star Wars" has been announced, and with Luc Besson's "This Killer Is Not So Cold", Natalie Portman is already somewhat famous.

Natalie Portman was suddenly shocked that she almost missed out on this role, and Charlize Theron was also dumbfounded that she missed out on the heroine in "Star Wars".

On the contrary, if Natalie Portman is really a novice, little Gilbert still feels there is a problem.

Perhaps this is also the reason why Natalie Portman was enough to please the Hollywood Squid Club, so George Lucas chose her to be the leading female lead in the "Star Wars" prequels, playing Padmé Amidala.

Natalie Portman's purpose is self-evident, which is to please the Hollywood Squid Club so as to create a promotion for herself.

"Sally, let me introduce to you, this is director George Lucas, and this is Miss Natalie Portman." Little Gilbert took the initiative to introduce Charlize Theron.

After getting little Gilbert's personal phone number, Natalie Portman left with satisfaction.

Little Gilbert agreed immediately. Although he was not very interested in "Star Wars", he should gain a lot from watching George Lucas's crew.

Little Gilbert wasn't angry after seeing through Natalie Portman's little thoughts. This is normal.

Natalie Portman started out in "The Killer Isn't Too Cold". She also knew how to please the Hollywood Squid Club and went to Broadway to star in "The Diary of Anne Frank".

She was famous in her previous life, and of course she is famous now.

George Lucas shook hands with Charlize Theron and said: "Actually, at first, I thought you were very suitable for starring in "Star Wars", but I didn't expect that you would take on Gilbert Jr.'s movie first."

Charlize Theron looked at Natalie Portman's leaving back and thought thoughtfully: "This girl is not simple. She should not be old, but her behavior has become mature."

Although it is said that some people do this kind of thing in private, and that island is an example later, but that does not include little Gilbert.

Besides, there really is nothing attractive about Natalie Portman. The face is not very beautiful, the body is not very good, but the temperament is very attractive.

But to be honest, none of the women around little Gilbert are worse than Natalie Portman. There is really no need for her, and she is not a stamp collector.

Charlize Theron also whispered in little Gilbert's ear: "I will come to your room in a tights at night, and by the way, Jenny is coming tomorrow."

Little Gilbert raised his eyebrows: "What is she here for?"

"Of course I miss you. You won't treat her as a simple woman, right?"

Charlize Theron's tone was full of ridicule: "No matter how innocent a woman is, she is already twenty-seven years old and has been in Hollywood for so long. She should know something.

She obviously knows what she should seize, and she should have a backing to support her.

This is Hollywood, where efforts and gains are directly proportional, and her greatest value is herself. How can you protect her if you don't hand her over? "

Listening to Charlize Theron's absurd reasoning, little Gilbert felt his head grow bigger: "Sally, I think you are Morpheus, and you are very good at deceiving others."

"What is deception?" Charlize Theron hugged little Gilbert's arm and said with a smile, "I'm doing this for your sake, so you have to thank me."

"Okay, what kind of reward do you want..."

"I want this..." Charlize Theron whispered a few words in little Gilbert's ear.

Little Gilbert's eyes lit up: "Are you sure this is not a reward for me?"

"Where? It's what I want." Charlize Theron looked impatient.

"Okay, let's try it."

"Great!"

So the two couldn't wait and tried it out in the trailer where they were resting. The crew members were very emotionally intelligent and had a tacit understanding so they didn't bother them.

The next day, Jennifer Connelly came to visit as Charlize Theron said.

Seeing little Gilbert again, Jennifer Connelly seemed much more enthusiastic and bold than last time, and even took the initiative to say hello to little Gilbert: "Hi, little Gilbert."

"Hello, Jenny."

The two people also called each other a lot more cordially, thanks to Charlize Theron. When they met for the second time, they didn't feel like they were strangers.

"What movies are you filming recently?" Little Gilbert asked. Jennifer Connelly replied: "I am currently working on "The City" with Rutherford Sewell and William Hurt."

""The City of Souls"?" Little Gilbert frowned and said he had never heard of it: "A B-level movie? I think you are suitable for a more important role."

"I also want to be like Sally and play the heroine of a masterpiece, but without the appreciation of a big shot behind me, there is no such opportunity."

Jennifer Connelly said it for this reason, and little Gilbert certainly understood what she meant.

In fact, there was originally a director named Leone, but director Leone passed away in 1989.

Jennifer Connelly, who has lost the appreciation of the big shots, has not made a name for herself for many years despite her extraordinary beauty.

Some things don't need to be said explicitly, and it would be too boring to tell them nakedly.

Jennifer Connelly dressed up specially today. She wore a white T-shirt on her upper body, revealing the ravine inside, and paired it with a small coat to open her chest.

Wear a short skirt on your lower body, black stockings, and high heels.

Needless to say, this is what Charlize Theron told Jennifer Connelly to dress up according to little Gilbert's preferences.

When Jennifer Connelly stood on the set with a sweet smile and watched little Gilbert directing the scene, many people in the crew were attracted to her unconsciously.

But everyone is also aware of it. This may be because the director is in love. Those who are not aware of it should think about what happened to Mel Gibson who was still in the gangster prison.

After a day's work, Charlize Theron took little Gilbert and Jennifer Connelly to eat together, and then took the two of them to their hotel room.

Although filming in "Los Angeles", little Gilbert can actually go back to live at Melon Manor.

But that seems like he's not very enthusiastic about this movie or this project.

So unless something happens, he usually stays in the hotel where the crew stays.

"I've done everything I need to do, and the rest is up to you."

Charlize Theron completed her task, clapped her hands with a smile, and walked out of the room.

She was so sensible that she even put up a do not disturb sign to prevent the hotel room service from disturbing her.

After drinking a little wine during dinner, Jennifer Connelly's face was a little red. She saw little Gilbert staring at her and lowered her head in embarrassment.

"Jenny, you are so beautiful!" Little Gilbert held Jennifer Connelly's face and praised.

"Thank you..." Jennifer Connelly raised her head and looked into little Gilbert's eyes, a pool of autumn water that seemed to melt little Gilbert.

The two people's emotions came quickly, like dry wood meeting the fierce fire.

The coat was thrown on the ground, the skirt was slowly taken off, and under the light of the ceiling, the two figures gradually overlapped.

Holding the head of the bed with one hand, the bed made an overwhelming sound, and everything fell into place.

The next day, little Gilbert went to work refreshed, while Jennifer Connelly lay in the hotel room unable to get out of bed.

Charlize Theron happened to be out of action and came to see Jennifer Connelly.

Jennifer Connelly rolled her eyes at Charlize Theron: "Now you are satisfied. I finally fulfilled your wish and slept with little Gilbert."

Charlize Theron said with a smile: "If possible, I would like to occupy little Gilbert alone. But you know, it is difficult for actresses like us not to be protected by big people."

"Did you stay with him simply because he could protect you?" Jennifer Connelly asked curiously.

"Of course not. I came to Los Angeles from South Africa and started working in Hollywood. The reason why I went so smoothly was because I met little Gilbert.

I was also introduced by Michelle, who helped me get to know little Gilbert, and that’s how I became today.

All of us, Naomi, Michelle, and I, relied on little Gilbert to gain a foothold in Hollywood.

You see, Naomi, even though she has become an A-list actress, she still lives in Melon Manor willingly. There are emotions, intertwined interests, and repayment factors..."

Charlize Theron told the story of why she couldn't live without Little Gilbert. She started from a humble beginning. Without Little Gilbert, she wouldn't know where she would be.

Maybe he became a skinny guy for some modeling agency, or went to the San Fernando Valley to film a movie.

The deeper reasons are more complicated.

No matter which circle or society you are in, you have to admit that even if you don’t want to take sides, certain attributes of your body will naturally be classified.

It is almost impossible to see people who have entered Hollywood independently. Those big names represent some of the forces behind them.

For example, Little Gilbert is the most valued young director by the Hollywood Squid Club, and is also regarded by the Italian gang as the leading figure after Coppola.

This is not something that little Gilbert should do if he doesn't want to be a player. He said that he doesn't want to be a member of the Squid Club or a leader of the Italian Gang.

These actresses rely on the big figures in these circles to exist. If there is no big shot to protect you, if you offend someone one day, you will not know how you died.

There is no way, this is the sad part of reality.

In an era when fistism had not yet risen, the status of female stars was naturally weaker. If you don’t believe it, look at the top management of Hollywood giants. The proportion of female executives is no more than 10%, which is proof.

Therefore, following little Gilbert, you can at least say you like him. After all, little Gilbert is handsome. You can also say you enjoy him. After all, little Gilbert's family talent is inherited.

It can even be said that there is a lot of profit, otherwise how did Naomi Watts become a first-line actress?

The combination of friendship and interests created this spectacle that is not a spectacle in Hollywood.

The reason why it is said to be a spectacle is because these women who live in the Melon Manor seem to have no time to play outside and spend no time except playing with little Gilbert.

Of course, this can be said to be the reason for little Gilbert's selfishness, but it is indeed a spectacle.

But unless there was a deep hatred for little Gilbert's woman, no one would dare to care about her.

The one I was worried about last time is really still in jail right now.

Jennifer Connelly naturally formed a special relationship with little Gilbert.

It's not special. As long as you're not married, there's really nothing anyone can say. There are plenty of people who are married and play their own games, let alone those who are not married.

Then Jennifer Connelly made a move. With little Gilbert's acquiescence, she hired gossip reporters to take photos, and moved her luggage into the Melon Manor with great fanfare.

The purpose of this is self-evident, which is to promote yourself and announce that you have a deep relationship with little Gilbert.

Not to mention, after the news was reported by gossip reporters, several men who were originally interested in Jennifer Connelly gave up their pursuit in an instant.

These men are either independent film producers, some well-known actors, or well-known photographers.

After the news about Jennifer Connelly and Little Gilbert, these men felt like they had encountered the plague. Not only did they give up pursuing Jennifer Connelly, they even walked away when they saw her.

It’s impossible not to leave. The lessons from the past are still before our eyes. There is also a man who is said to have been frightened and went to Europe.

The big guys are scared too. What if little Gilbert is petty and knows that he is thinking about the woman he likes?
Jennifer Connelly was a little dumbfounded by this change. She didn't expect that little Gilbert also had a function to help her block harassment, which was really useful.

This was not over yet. In the following days, news came out about several roles she was fighting for, and she basically won them.

The projects were small, and the roles she was competing for were not the most important ones. In an effort to curry favor with little Gilbert, the producers of these projects simply cast Jennifer Connelly in the role.

The career that was originally stagnant suddenly made progress, which made Jennifer Connelly feel what Charlize Theron said, the feeling of being covered by a big shot.

It turns out that it feels so good to have a big shot backstage, and Jennifer Connelly regrets not getting to know little Gilbert earlier.

Maybe she will be the first-line actress now.

Not to mention the changes on Jennifer Connelly's side, it seemed that a lot of people came to visit the "Matrix" team. Not long after, Tom Cruise suddenly came to visit.

Tom Cruise has always wanted to work with Gilbert Jr., but has never been able to achieve his wish.

He expressed his desire to cooperate many times in front of the media, making himself look like a crazy man.

No, taking advantage of the free time to prepare for "Mission: Impossible 2", Tom Cruise came directly to the door. He had to get a promise.
