Chapter 464 Can’t wait
Chapter 464 Can’t wait
The conversation with Greta was just one of many that Su Lingxi had arranged this month. Next, she would drive to a mansion in South Hampton, where she would personally discuss the set design of "The Enlightened" with Meryl Norton. This conversation was crucial to the crew's funding.
In addition, as one of the important producers of "The Veil", as the start time approaches, there will always be more and more tasks that require her to appear...
As a famous actress and producer, learning to deal with dazzling social occasions is a compulsory course for Su Lingxi's growth, so even if she is tired inside, she has to try her best to adjust her mentality and do everything to perfection.
Fortunately, such busy and frantic days lasted less than half a month. When the plane landed at LGA Airport again, Su Lingxi breathed a sigh of relief: after these busy days, she couldn't wait to hide in the crew and continue the life of fully devoting herself to filming.
"Honestly, I still can't believe it." Brandon's agent Bill muttered as he handed him a cup of coffee. "Nicole Sue is going to be acting with you soon - I mean, it's really happening, we actually did it - you can play the leading role in the Oscar-winning film in your second movie. Believe me, Brandon, there must be a lot of people who are jealous of your good luck behind your back!"
"Don't be so exaggerated, Bill. Nicole is a very friendly lady." Brandon's voice was calmer than his, and only the slightly higher tone revealed his inner unrest. "She looks very different from the movie... I think she must be easy to get along with."
Bill sensed something and looked at him several times in a subtle and strange way. "If you encounter anything bad, remember to tell me in time."
Brandon frowned in confusion, "What do you mean? Do you think there's something wrong with this crew?"
"Hmm...you really should look in the mirror and see the look in your eyes just now - it's exactly the same as those silly admirers of Nicole."
Brandon immediately understood Bill's subtext and his face flushed with anger: "What do you mean by that? Do you also think that I was taken advantage of by Nicole as the rumors say?"
Bill looked at his face which turned red instantly, and couldn't tell for a moment whether he was angry or shy.
"Anyway, it's your choice, but I should at least remind you that she is not a woman you can control - and Greta Mirren is famous for her strict management of the crew. If you annoy her, I'm afraid Mr. Will won't be able to help you."
"...I understand." Brandon's face gradually darkened. "I will control my words and actions."
Bill is nominally his agent, but in reality he is more like a tool used by Jason Weir to manipulate him.
If he had a choice, Brandon really didn't want to owe him any favors.
Bill saw that Brandon was in a bad mood, so he didn't say anything more. He just reminded him quietly, "Look, they're coming."
Brandon immediately looked up at the two figures at the restaurant door: Nicole was smiling and talking to Greta, and both of them were laughing happily.
The buzz of conversation in the restaurant suddenly quieted down because of their appearance, and it took several seconds to return to normal - Brandon could clearly feel that many people were just pretending to talk to their friends, and their eyes were always paying attention to what Nicole and the others were doing.
Different from the casual and natural look she wore during the previous script reading session, Nicole's outfit today was full of youthfulness: a lake blue sleeveless tight-fitting top and a pair of straight-leg jeans, which tightly wrapped her long legs and perfectly revealed her slender waist.
She is tall and has long legs, and wearing a pair of thin-strap high heels, her body proportions appear to be extremely good, and she stands out from the crowd wherever she goes.
Brandon stared at her stupidly for several seconds until she sat down with her back to him, then he hastily looked away.
He thought she would come and say hello to him...
"She's already getting into the role." Carly Scott withdrew her scrutinizing gaze and whispered to Gerald Tarleton beside her, "Eve Blake."
Gerard Tarleton nodded in agreement: Although his role as Paul White was not very important in the film, he had a close personal relationship with Carly Scott and had naturally read the complete script of The Painted Veil.
Eve Blake in the movie is the second personality that only appears at night, which is distinct from the first personality Eve White.
Now it seems that Nicole Su has been immersed in the role since she entered the door - Gerard had just met her at a cocktail party last week. Compared with that time, her expression at this moment is a little unusually excited.
"It's obvious that she is a very smart methodist." Gerald raised an approving smile at the right time, "At least not as exaggerated as her predecessor Daniel."
When it comes to the world-renowned method master Daniel Gabin, the only word left to describe him is "exaggeration".
Carly smiled and did not correct his thoughts. Instead, she cast her eyes towards another corner and said, "Look at that lucky guy. He doesn't seem to be nervous at all about the upcoming rivalry."
Even Hollywood's recognized powerful actors such as Daniel Gabin and Sigourney Garner have to do some preparation before filming to ensure that they can get into the state in time. However, this British boy who was still unknown not long ago seemed to have no idea what "performance state" was. He always sat contentedly in the corner of the restaurant enjoying his breakfast.
"I suspect he may not have any idea about the title of Oscar winner." Gerald shrugged. "The British are always so arrogant, Carly. You should have gotten used to their style."
"Greta said he got into the role quickly and got out of it quickly." Carly smiled and turned the teacup. "From her tone, it seems that she is very optimistic about this young boy."
"Really? Then I'm looking forward to their rivalry this afternoon." Gerald smiled and stuffed a piece of toast into his mouth. "I hope he won't be suppressed too badly in front of this Asian lady."
Carly raised an eyebrow, "It sounds like you want to make a bet with me?"
"Why not? You know, I've seen so many talented female stars, but no one has surprised me more than her. To be fair, almost every achievement she has made so far has been beyond my expectations." Gerard smiled slightly and gave her a meaningful look. "Even Paparazzi calls her 'Miss Miracle'. I don't think she will really lose to a young boy."
Carly Scott looked at him and said nothing.
——In fact, she was more interested in the upcoming rivalry than the bet.
