Pacific Palisade borders Brentwood. That afternoon, Ye Wei drove in less than half an hour and arrived at the destination, Hanks' villa by the beach.

Hanks' home has many properties, and this place is absolutely quiet and beautiful. With a wide area, surrounded by the green wild garden, it is a classical house built in the 1920s. It has a delicate layout, a pavilion and a middle courtyard. The interior decoration is both classic and luxurious, with a fireplace, a ceiling chandelier, and a spiral staircase...

There are also balconys with sea views from the Pacific Ocean. The sea breeze in summer blows. Living in this place will last for several years.

This was the first time Ye Wei visited Hanks' house and the first time he met Hanks's wife Rita Wilson, which almost made him shout "Wilson". He didn't know what that volleyball was like. Rita Wilson gave him the impression of being friendly, just like her husband.

The couple raised four children, Hanks and Colin, who was born to his ex-wife, 6 years old), and Elizabeth, 2 years old, both have lived an independent life, so they are naturally not here today; and Chet, who is almost 15 years old, is not here, and goes on a trip with his friends; only B-year-old Truman Theodore is here.

This kid is OK. Although he also has the pride of the second generation star, he is not as arrogant as Beli and can communicate.

The Roberts family has not arrived yet, and there are wooden tables and chairs in the tree-lined courtyard. Ye Weizheng and Hanks talk about the amazing performance of "The Wedding Day is Coming".

"The current results are really beyond everyone's expectations." Hanks's generous face was very happy.

"I'm not surprised if I don't include me." Ye Wei laughed.

Hanks also laughed: "You are an unexpected person. Everyone knows the plan of Sunlight Beauty", many people told me, you are so crazy, but I can hear their envy." Now there are so many companies that are willing to invest in Ye Wei that have to queue up, but Preton has already obtained it, so he is so majestic and happy.

Ye Wei has a task today, and now it is a good opportunity. He immediately asked in a joke: "Tom, I'm doing a good job. Is it a bit more likely that you will play Richard?"

"It's a little taller." Hanks nodded, and his fingers knocked on the wooden table. "But, there's nothing to doubt about your professionalism. It's just that my acting career is in a bit of trouble. I have to consider the next two or three film appointments more carefully."

After "The Old Woman Killer" and "The End of Happiness", Hanks's net worth has dropped. Superstars like him really cannot withstand another failure or mediocrity. That would make him defined by the media as "outdated" and "everything now" and "everything is all bad movies." Once he has a label, it will be difficult to tear it off. So compared to half a year ago, for him, joining the Little Beauty of Sunshine" is more risky, and Ye Wei's lobbying is even more difficult.

Before leaving, Ye Wei understood that the breakthrough point was obviously not in Forrest Gump, but in other people.

Hanks is wise and foolish, and dare not be the first person to eat tomatoes, but if he sees someone eating, will he be moved and will he eat with him? It is very likely that this person cannot be a small character, but can only be a big man like him, such as Julia Roberts.

There is Roberts, there is Hanks.

The first task has changed, but you can’t lose Hanks’ interest. With some achievements, you will have this benefit. Now that you can show more confidence, you won’t seem arrogant. Ye Wei said jokingly: “Sometimes, the big directors don’t work, maybe the independent art films of the young director will work?”

Hanks smiled when he heard this. The two falls this year were all a successful collaboration. Coen brothers, Spielberg, the movie is like this, there is no absolute.

Ye Wei did not continue to say more and turned to a serious tone: "I have a preparation period to prove myself, Tom, I will not give up on inviting you. This is my way of doing my job well."

After a little while in the afternoon, the Roberts's family arrived.

A luxurious medium-sized black RV parked in the parking space in the garden in front of the villa. Ye Wei felt that the car must have an obstetrics assistant, and perhaps some medical equipment.

"Julia Danny" When a couple walked out of the back door, Hanks and Rita walked up enthusiastically, Roberts' belly bulged high, grinning with a sweet mouth of the sign, and her husband Danny Maud laughed happily.

Ye Wei and Theodore stood behind. Roberts laughed at Theodore first, then stared at Ye Wei, and walked up with his hand: "VIY is so happy to see you, you are amazing."

"Thank you, Mrs. Mod, I'm very happy to know you." Ye Wei smiled and reached out to him, shouting with encouragement, the game began

Julia Roberts, the first female star to earn 20 million in films and the Best Actress at the 73rd Academy Awards, the Queen of Hollywood can choose any top script.

As early as the UU era in the last century, how to invite Roberts to join the project was a big unsolved problem for Hollywood producers. Money? Film dealers lined up to pay her, unless they directly gave her 100 million yuan. Good scripts? Commercial and literary are piled up in her place.

Maybe it's easier to solve it in her own words: "The key to deciding to play a role is whether it is attractive enough to me to get up at four o'clock every morning to work for three months, and finally face the audience's evaluation of it in this way."

This statement also applies to all superstars who don’t have to worry about film appointments: if I like it, I will act, if I don’t like it, I won’t act.

When he starred in "Positive" for 200,000 yuan in 201, Roberts not only did not receive any salary, but in fact he didn't even have a hairstylist or makeup artist, and even made costumes by himself. But the director of that film was Steven Soderbergh, who brought her the former Oscar-winning prodigy who won the Palme d'Or at the age of 6 for "Sex, Lies and Video Tapes".

Now, Roberts has already reached another level: I want to be a good mother and a good wife, so don’t ask me to act in anything for the time being.

Regardless of whether there is a producer who dares to make such an attempt, Ye Wei must try his luck.

He had studied her. Roberts used to be not very good-tempered. One case was when filming "Captain Iron Hook" in 1991. She happened to break up with her boyfriend Dylan McDermott. Her emotional injury made her suffer from mental disorders almost crazy. Her difficulty in cooperation was one of the main reasons for the filming cycle of the film by 40 days (the cost increased by 260,000). Director Spielberg was so angry that he could only sulk, and very goblin gave her the nickname "Little Evil Iuec" (her character in the film is Ttuka11e Tinker Bell).

Although Roberts is no longer a year old girl, but a mature expectant mother of 3 years old, Ye Wei feels that she must be vigilant. At the same time, she often mentions "respect". The actors want to be respected and understood by others, especially a woman like her who has a legendary past but wants to live a peaceful new future.

It's good to be true and false, he must make the big guy feel: this kid understands me, I like him

She also needs to take advantage of her only advantage as a prodigy. She has always been very interested in movie prodigy.

You are a little evil ghost, I am a VIY who is afraid of whom

These thoughts flashed by, Ye Wei held the hand of the American sweetheart, looked at her still sweet smile, and made her smile sincerely: "I am your big fan. You have too many great performances. For example, in "The Deadly Incarnation", your interpretation gave me a complex touch, which is very special."

Before preparing for this meeting, he had watched all Roberts' movies, and it was not an exaggeration to say that he was a big fan.

But "The Fatal Incarnation" is carefully considered. "The Pretty Beauty", "Never Compromise", "My Best Friend's Wedding", "Notting Hill" are so ordinary that Roberts is so immunized; "Captain Iron Hook" is an unpleasant memory, "Sleeping with the Enemy" involves secret battles with her husband and breaking up a heartbreak, she is now in a sweet marriage life; stepmother" is also not possible, ex-wife and other things will remind her of her love history and be unhappy at any time; "Steel Magnolia", the heroine she plays will make her uneasy and unhappy after giving birth to a child.

It can only be "The Fatal Incarnation" in 193. In fact, it is a failed work. It only received more than 260,000 yuan in global box office for 7 million yuan. The reviews from all parties are very bad. Roberts must have not been praised much in this film, so it is also a double-edged sword. If it is done well, it will become hypocrisy and artificial.

However, Ye Wei had a good idea and continued: "When I watched it, I was 7 years old or B years old. I still remember your back in the end, which became my nightmare. I think that was the scariest thing in the whole film, because I couldn't think of your future, and I think she was very pitiful."

The innocent feelings of a child, a long-standing childhood view.

"Thank you..." Roberts's mouth widened and his hands were a little harder, and he must be happy.

Let go of her hand, Ye Wei looked at her big belly and said that she had prepared "Congratulations, God bless your baby", but suddenly she felt a little emotional, American sweetheart finally became a mother.

He expressed his feelings at this moment: "Wow, look at you, I got the answer, and I always thought you were the goddess of everyone, but look at you, I really understand '1amejueIr, congratulations, may God bless your baby, that must be a healthy and beautiful baby."

"1am-aI-ju-a81rI" is a classic line from "Notting Hill". The big star Roberts confessed to the owner of the small bookstore, Hugh Grant: I am just a girl, standing in front of a boy, asking him to love me.

Roberts and the infamous photographer Danny Maud's love and marriage and having a baby are like the live version of Notting Hill.

When Roberts heard this, Ye Wei, Hanks and Danny Maud were surprised. Tears suddenly burst into her eyes, her smile became sweeter, and her tone was messy: "Yes, thank you, thank you..." She looked at her husband and smiled again: "1amejueIr1...¨"

Wow. Ye Wei cried out inwardly, as if he was lucky. It was said that pregnant women were easily moved, and I love science

Hanks was stunned. This kid is really good at talking and is very likable. He actually had the idea that Wei and Julia would be in a bad mood before. It's so stupid.

At this time, a little girl walked down from the RV. She was petite and cute. She had long blonde hair on her side and draped down with a sideways. She was wearing a light blue T-shirt and denim mid-trousers. Emma Roberts.

The three-year-old teenager's appearance can be very different. Ye Wei, 6, is a tall and strong teenager, while Emma Roberts, 13, is a little girl with small arms and legs that cannot even reach his shoulders. She is only a little bigger than Anna Sophia.

But even such a little girl is also a big shot in Ye Wei's eyes. Perhaps it is difficult to deal with Bilru and Beli because he believes she is very smart.

Eric Roberts' daughter (a star idol in the 2003s, an Oscar nominated for Best Supporting Actor, self-destructed by drugs), Julia Roberts' niece, who entered the film industry with her aunt at the age of 6, and has performed in three movies since she was 10 (a guest appearance).

The reason why she is a big shot is of course because she is Roberts's heart, and Roberts is her agent and manager for the time being.

A few bad words of her may destroy his image in Roberts's heart. On the contrary, a few good words of her may allow him to get Roberts' two thumbs.

Making little Emma happy is equivalent to making Julia happy, even more happy than making Julia herself. Don’t forget why there is today’s party, you are friends

"Let me introduce her. She is my niece, Emma, ​​a student at Sagittarius Girls' School, in the eighth grade next school year."

Roberts smiled at Ye Wei and said that it was not about introducing Emma's career, but about his academic status. Ye Wei could get some information from it. Roberts did not want to define his acquaintance with Emma as "developing connections in the circle", but young people naturally played together... No, Emma didn't want to

He knows many second-generation stars girls. Lily doesn't like being called "Phil Collins' daughter". Although Master Gia is proud of the Coppola family, he doesn't like to listen to "You are Coppola's granddaughter", and Ramo doesn't like to listen to "You are Willis' daughter". This is really human nature. Everyone wants to have their own name, not whoever is.

The second generation of stars also has a common mindset and does not like being said to be based on family. Nicholas Kiki changed his surname to this.

On the one hand, their identity cannot be abandoned, and they are sure of getting more opportunities; on the other hand, they want others to focus on their own efforts. Not only the second generation of stars, but most of the other descendants are like this. If he becomes a second generation of dentist, he will not like to be said by others, "It's all because your father is a dentist."

So almost 100. Emma Roberts doesn't like to hear "Julia Roberts' niece", and hates being involved in nepotism. She is a little girl from a rich family who has never suffered any hardships, and she doesn't even want to accept the shortcuts. Maybe she doesn't want to come today, and she knows a child prodigy, boring

These thoughts flashed through, and Ye Wei quickly adjusted her strategy and no longer prepared to praise her performance in "The Newborn Calf", which was obviously a role obtained by Roberts.

"Hello Emma, ​​I'm Ye Wei, I'm very happy to know you." Ye Wei smiled at Emma who was walking.

"I'm glad to meet you. Your movie is great." Emma smiled, with two round eyes open, and her calm words were still full of childishness.

"Thank you, do you know Hailey Newman? She is also from the Sagittarius Girls' School. She and I are friends." Ye Wei asked. Emma was stunned: "Hailey Newman?" Ye Wei nodded and said: "She had participated in the Harvard-West Lake Film Festival before and made a very good B-minute short film "Their Story".

"I don't know her. She is a senior, but I've heard of this." Emma suddenly became interested. "I also heard that you gave everyone a surprise at the film festival."

Ye Wei laughed: "No, it's actually an accident. All of us were almost frightened."

"What's going on?" Emma was immediately more interested.

Meanwhile, Roberts seemed even happier, and walked in front with her husband, Hanks and his wife laughing and chatting, and the two young men who were behind were talking about the film festival, while Theodore felt bored and walked away and played.

"I saw the principal's expression at that time... I thought if he was Dumbledore, he would have turned me into a stone without hesitation, and then shouted: Atvutu If you don't want to be turned into a stone."

"Haha, do you like "Harry Potter" too?"

"You should ask, who doesn't like Harry Potter? Maybe Ron? In fact, I like Ron more than Harry, and I also like Rupert Grint in particular. He acted so well."

"I also like Ron more, Rupert Grint is my idol."

"He's funny right? I like to see good peers as competitors, but this guy, I don't know why, just can't let me do that, love his freckles."

"yes"

Looking at the happy appearance of little Emma, ​​Ye Wei felt a little relieved, fellow villagers, be safe for the time being

In fact, he is not a fan of "Harry Potter". He prefers "Song of Ice and Fire" and "Dragon Gun". He doesn't have any special affection for Grint, but he knows through INDb that Emma's idol is Grint... It's so tiring to deal with big names.

But when he turned on the social mode, he would not let himself stop. When the group entered the room and came to the hall, he looked for the opportunity to return to Roberts and talked about how he liked her movies. He also talked about the interesting stories about "Samantha" shared by Anna Sophia. He did not rush to reveal the meaning of inviting her to join the Little Beauty of Sunshine. Let's talk about it well.

However, another unexpected thing was that when Rita called Emma to the kitchen, Hanks and Maud walked away, as if they wanted to create a moment of solitude for him and Roberts.

Roberts leaned against the sofa pillow, stroked his stomach, looked at him, and asked with a smile: "Wige, are there any roles suitable for Emma's audition in your new film?"

On the small sofa opposite H, Ye Wei was shocked when he heard this. Although he had prepared a lot, he didn't prepare much for the current situation. Didn't he say that he would get to know each other and be a friend first? Maybe there will be opportunities for cooperation in the future? He didn't say that he was now, and he was the little beauty of Sunlight."

And there is really no. Emma's age and appearance are not suitable for playing "Oliver". There is no role of a young girl in the script, even if there is no supporting role.

So what? Just tell the big guy "no"? Do you still want to lobby Roberts? It's rare that he can bring the big guys what benefits he wants.
