Hollywood Lover

And now, Zhang Dongcheng has become the hottest entertainment tycoon in the United States. Although Rachel has a good reputation with the mummy, it may be because Zhang Dongcheng let her participate in the mummy in advance, and there is less experience in setbacks. Except for the mummy Besides, she didn't have any outstanding achievements.

Some people even say that Rachel has been stereotyped on the mummy's Evelyn, and any role she plays has a feeling of Evelyn. Such an evaluation is disastrous for any actor.

Coincidentally.

Keanu Reeves, who played Neo in The Matrix, has also been evaluated in the same way.

In the hell detective he cooperated with Rachel, many people still say that his performance is Neo.

The "Houston Chronicle" stated: Sometimes, Reeves forgets which movie he is in because he is still in the Neo pose.

And Chow Yun-fat, who was once regarded as a box office poison, also had such an experience. A Shanghai Bund made him so popular that he became the most well-known actor in one fell swoop. But because of this, he has become a box office poison. No matter what movie it is, the audience seems to see Xu Wenqiang when watching his performance.

This kind of time lasted for a long time, and it was not until Wu Yusen's filming of The True Colors of Heroes in 1986 that he got rid of this hat.

It can be seen that sometimes once an actor is deeply rooted in a certain role, he is likely to be stereotyped.

Especially for an actor like Rachel who has never played an important role before, the more brilliant she is, the more difficult it will be to transform later.

At this moment, Rachel encountered such a problem.

Although the popularity of the two Mummy films satisfied her desire for fame, it also made her stereotyped.

The reason why Rachel took the initiative to find Zhang Dongcheng this time was to achieve self-breakthrough. She is a very motivated girl who doesn't want to be stereotyped into a certain role, or a certain type of role.

And to untie the bell, the person who tied the bell is the mummy of Zhang Dongcheng, who made her stereotyped, so Rachel found Zhang Dongcheng again, hoping that he can help her. Zhang Dongcheng is now called a legendary director!

In fact, even if Zhang Dongcheng did not appear and everything developed according to the normal rules, Rachel would still encounter such a predicament.

Even in order to break through the predicament, she imitated many Oscar female predecessors and performed "The Immortal Gardener" naked, and finally won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress. Only then did the gorgeous turn around come true.

But this happened in 2005, and now Rachel obviously doesn't have such courage, or in other words, doesn't have that kind of opportunity.

"Don't be so cautious?" Zhang Dongcheng feigned anger: "We are old friends. You are so polite, I always feel a little alienated!"

Rachel smiled awkwardly and said, "Okay, Director Smith. I understand!"

As expected of an actress, Rachel quickly adjusted her body and mind, and became free and easy again.

"Is there anything you can do with me this time?" Just after finishing speaking, Zhang Dongcheng slapped his forehead and said, "Oh, I almost forgot to congratulate you, your performance in The Mummy 2 is perfect.

"Thank you, Director Smith!" Rachel said with a radiant face. Although the mummy got her into trouble, it has to be admitted that it was the mummy that made her famous. On this point, Rachel is still very grateful to Zhang Dongcheng.

When Zhang Dongcheng came to her, she was bullied by the female characters of the crew, and she even cried. And Zhang Dongcheng gave him a chance to stand out.

"Director Smith, the thing is like this, I want to ask, do you have any new plans recently?" Rachel bit her head.

Zhang Dongcheng's status is completely different now. Even though he has received countless condemnations because of Brokeback Mountain, there are still many actors who want to cooperate with him. There are even some actresses who want to sacrifice something to get the chance to work with Zhang Dongcheng.

There are indeed not many people who come to the door like Rachel!

"New plan?" Zhang Dongcheng frowned slightly, and asked, "You mean, my next movie?"

"Yes!" Rachel took a deep breath and said, "Now I find myself in a dilemma in terms of acting. No matter what kind of role I play, I seem to perform the same as Evelyn in The Mummy. This makes me very happy." Distressed. Some directors still think that I can only play vases!"

Once the chatterbox was opened, Rachel began to pour out bitterness to Zhang Dongcheng.

Zhang Dongcheng waited for her to finish speaking dumbfounded, and then said: "Rachel, there is no shortcut to hone your acting skills. What you need now is precipitation."

"I understand!" Rachel frowned, and said, "Director Smith, didn't I say before that after the release of Mummy 2, I will sign a contract with Dongcheng Pictures?"

"Well! This matter can be handed over to Adaman." Zhang Dongcheng pointed to Adaman beside him, and said, "Wait a minute before you discuss the signing with Adaman. After signing the contract, I think we will have many more in the future." Isn't there an opportunity for cooperation?"

From Rachel's point of view, Zhang Dongcheng is clearly out of oil and salt!

She didn't know what she thought of, and there was a gloomy look in her eyes, she lowered her head and said, "Speaking of which, when Director Smith chose me to play the role of Evelyn, I haven't thanked you properly. there is no time?"

Hearing this, Adaman on the side suddenly felt that he seemed a little redundant. He stood up and said, "Oh, it suddenly occurred to me that I still have a job. Smith, Rachel, talk slowly, I'm leaving first !"

Adaman's departure made Rachel feel relieved.

Zhang Dongcheng said: "Didn't I just say that? We are friends, so you don't have to be so polite!"

"This is also a thank you from friends, isn't it?" Rachel blinked playfully.

In desperation, Zhang Dongcheng said: "Okay then. However, I have to be busy with the production of Brokeback Mountain these two days, so maybe the time is not very loose. At night, it will probably be very late!"

When Zhang Dongcheng agreed to come down, Rachel's eyes flashed a complicated look, and she said, "Okay, wait for my call at 9:30 in the evening, can you?"

"Of course!" After the two made an agreement, Zhang Dongcheng sent Rachel away.

Afterwards, Zhang Dongcheng returned to the editing room and got busy again.

The night was getting dark, and when Zhang Dongcheng was very hungry, he realized that it was already past eight o'clock at night.

"****! Adaman, that bastard, didn't even know to tell me to go to dinner! Damn it!" Complaining, Zhang Dongcheng stood up, moved his aching body, and left the editing room.

After he went out, there were not many people in the whole company.

After washing his face in the bathroom, Zhang Dongcheng was about to leave when his cell phone rang suddenly.

"Hi! Smith, are you done with your work?" Rachel's voice was a little anxious, as if she was looking forward to something, but also seemed to be afraid of something.

"Oh! I'm sorry, I'm so busy that I'm dizzy. Now it's..." Zhang Dongcheng slapped his forehead, and suddenly remembered the agreement he had made with Rachel. He was so busy that he almost forgot about it. It wasn't that Rachel had called in advance, if it had been half an hour at night, Zhang Dongcheng would have returned to his villa soon.

After raising his wrist to check the time, Zhang Dongcheng said, "It's 8:40, where are you? I'll go right away!"

"I'm at home now. I don't think Director Smith would mind if I treat you to a family dinner?" Rachel asked anxiously.

"Of course I don't mind!" Zhang Dongcheng shook his head and said, "Give me the address, and I'll go there now!"

After getting the address of her home from Rachel, Zhang Dongcheng drove directly there. He never thought that Rachel's real purpose was not to invite him to dinner, but...

Rachel's house in Los Angeles is not in the middle of the city but in the suburbs. The environment is much quieter than in the busy city. And the location is also very good, only the traffic is not very convenient.

Following the resistance Rachel told him, Zhang Dongcheng quickly came to the door of a two-story house with a distinct style of the 1960s and 1970s.

After honking the horn, Zhang Dongcheng called Rachel. "Rachel, I seem to be here. Do you hear the car horn?"

"I heard it!" Rachel looked flustered, and replied absent-mindedly: "Director Smith, I live here, you...you come in!"

Zhang Dongcheng frowned suspiciously, suppressed the surprise in his heart, parked the car, and came outside Rachel's door.

The one-meter-high fence gate was only half-closed and not locked.

After gently pushing away, Zhang Dongcheng quickly walked towards the room.

When he came outside the door, Zhang Dongcheng tidied up his appearance. Carrying a present, he rang the doorbell.

After all, you are visiting someone else's house, so it is the most basic politeness to make your own personal clothes tidy.

In the room, there seemed to be the sound of something being knocked over.

"Sorry, Director Smith, I'll be right there!" Rachel's panicked voice came later.

After a while, the door opened, and Rachel said with a stiff smile on her face, "Welcome, Director Smith!"

She was wearing a home dress with a very low neckline, and her large snow-white skin glowed seductively under the light. The two round snow-capped peaks on the chest are upright, supporting the clothes high; a girdle around the waist, even more so, gathers the slender waist so that it becomes more and more unbearable to grasp.

The hem of the clothes only hangs down a few centimeters above the knees, most of the white and tender legs are exposed, the delicate skin like ceramics makes people dizzy.

Zhang Dongcheng, with amazing five senses, even saw two bumps on the supple suspenders. Rachel went into battle in a vacuum!

Zhang Dongcheng was suddenly embarrassed! What's happening here? Could it be that Rachel still intends to let me unspoken rules?

Thinking of this possibility, Zhang Dongcheng's heart suddenly became hot, but soon, he slandered himself again in his heart, damn it! Zhang Dongcheng, you have to calm down!

Zhang Dongcheng is not a saint, otherwise, he would not be able to maintain relationships with Halliwell, Victoria and Patricia at the same time! Perhaps it can be said that he is greedy, or that his possessiveness is at work, but it has to be admitted that Zhang Dongcheng has feelings for these three girls.

But Zhang Dongcheng is also a young man, if Rachel really intends to seduce him, Zhang Dongcheng really can't sit still!

There are only two possibilities for a person who can sit still. One is an upright gentleman whose inner moral restraint is enough for him to suppress his instinctive impulse. For example, the legendary Liu Xiahui! And the other one doesn't work at all.

Even prudish people will definitely be impulsive! This kind of thing cannot be transferred by personal will!

Seeing Zhang Dongcheng's eyes widen, his pupils were fixed on him. Rachel couldn't help but blushed slightly, and said shyly, "Director Smith, please come in! It's cold outside!"

Zhang Dongcheng came back to his senses immediately, touched his nose in embarrassment, and coughed. "Sorry, Rachel, you're so pretty today!"

"Thank you!" Rachel pursed her lips and smiled. At this moment, Zhang Dongcheng seemed to have returned to the way he was when he filmed The Mummy 1 two years ago in her heart.

A polite compliment seemed to dilute the embarrassment just now.

After arriving in the room, Zhang Dongcheng realized that Rachel had already arranged everything on the dining table.

A few candles were burning, and an open bottle of red wine exuded a crimson halo under the candlelight. It's like a dream. The rich aroma of fried steak in butter lingers in the whole room.

"Smith, please sit down!" Rachel said politely.

After Zhang Dongcheng was seated, Rachel continued: "Director Smith, how about the taste of my fried steak! After coming to the United States, I seldom do housework. Maybe the taste is not very good, please bear with me!"

After wrapping the napkin around his neck, Zhang Dongcheng gently cut off a piece of steak and put it in his mouth.

I have to admit that Rachel really put her heart into it. Steaks can be divided into rare, medium rare, medium, and well done according to the degree of rawness.

A medium rare steak is almost raw and bloody in the middle. The raw blood steak is juicy and has the real flavor of beef, but it is daunting for first-time eaters. The well-done steak is brown and almost cooked.

But in fact, the more ripe the steak is, the better it tastes. In fact, when the steak is half-rare, the pink gravy you see when you cut it with a knife is not blood, but the seasoning juice that seeps into the meat when it is grilled. Only half-rare beef has a wonderful beef juice. Evaporating, the meat becomes tough, and the deliciousness disappears, which is why the steak is more mature.

The steak that Rachel is frying right now is browned on the surface, but the center is seven or eight percent cooked, which is the so-called seven-ripe. Apparently considering that Zhang Dongcheng is Chinese and not used to half-cooked steaks, he purposely fried them to look like this.

After chewing for a while, Zhang Dongcheng couldn't help but raised his thumb and exclaimed: "The taste is very good, Rachel!"

"Thank you!" Rachel suddenly laughed. It is indeed a joy to have others praise your cooking skills.

After watching Zhang Dongcheng begin to taste the steak she made, Rachel opened the red wine with a corkscrew, poured out two glasses, and handed one of them to Zhang Dongcheng and said, "Director Smith, to celebrate I will be Dongcheng Films in the future." Signed artist, let's have a toast!"

Hearing this, Zhang Dongcheng put down his knife and fork, and said in surprise, "You have already signed a contract with Adaman?"

It's no wonder that Zhang Dongcheng was surprised. You know, Rachel just came to the company this morning, but judging from her tone now, it's obvious that the contract was settled today!

"Yes!" Rachel nodded, and said, "I've already discussed the contract with Adaman, and I signed it in the afternoon!"

"It's really worth celebrating!" Zhang Dongcheng took the glass and touched Rachel's quilt, took a sip, then put down the glass, and said, "Rachel, since you have signed the contract, then we will be I'm a family, I want to know, do you have any plans for your future?"

"This..." Rachel hesitated, and said: "Director Smith, I am very distressed that I have been stereotyped. I hope to break through this predicament!"

Although Rachel became famous because of the mummy, her acting skills are indeed not very good, and she is more determined to be in the role of a vase. Of course, the performance in Mummy 1 is still very brilliant.

She believed that Zhang Dongcheng could help her, because it was Zhang Dongcheng who chose her to be the heroine of the mummy at the beginning, allowing her, a newcomer, to have her current status.

Moreover, among the people who cooperated with Zhang Dongcheng, Keanu Reeves not only returned to the 20 million club again, but also showed a slight increase in his worth.

His most astounding score was in Two Smoking Barrels, a movie that turned four guys who knew nothing about movies into stardom.

Even Andy, who doesn't have much talent, has become a well-known actor because of his own efforts and Zhang Dongcheng's help.

He seems to have a magic eye that can see through a person's potential, and he can discover the specialties of everyone.

Zhang Dongcheng explained: "I have already explained this issue today, you can't be in such a hurry!"

"I know!" Rachel lowered her head, her voice lowered a lot. With a bit of disappointment in his tone, he said: "But I don't think what I lack is my own efforts. I need someone who can guide me and help me!"

After a pause, seeing that Zhang Dongcheng did not speak, Rachel continued: "It's not that I don't work hard, but my hard work seems to always be unrewarded. No matter how I try my best to interpret the role, But my performances are always disappointing!"

Hearing Rachel's complaining words, Zhang Dongcheng stopped his movements, rested his chin in one hand, and listened quietly to her words.

Jang Dong Sung is good at being a listener at certain times.

"So, I hope to get your help, Smith!" Rachel raised her head, stared at Zhang Dongcheng with burning eyes, and said solemnly: "I can pay the price!"

Zhang Dongcheng was immediately stunned! Of course he knew what Rachel meant by the price! This is not uncommon in Hollywood. It may be an unspoken rule to outsiders, but in the hearts of insiders, it is almost well-known.

In European and American cultures, sex is not so important. Therefore, it is normal for girls to give their bodies in exchange for their own opportunities.

Not only will you not be discriminated against by others, but even if you succeed, you will make others jealous!

Although Zhang Dongcheng studied at a university in the UK, he is essentially a person who grew up under Chinese culture. Therefore, sex is not as open as in Europe and the United States.

In other words, Zhang Dongcheng's love for movies made him not want his works to be tarnished by such a dirty deal.

But now that Rachel's words have been spoken, Zhang Dongcheng can't let her down.

Picking up the wine glass, Zhang Dongchen took a big sip, concealed his embarrassment, and said, "Rachel, I think you misunderstood."

Rachel stared at Zhang Dongcheng without saying a word, waiting for his next words.

"Actually, when we met this morning, I have already said that what you lack now is precipitation, and your popularity is a bit too fast. The reason why you are positioned as a vase in other movies is entirely because of your foundation. The reason for the instability." Zhang Dongcheng said insincerely.

In fact, when Rachel said that she was willing to pay the price just now, Zhang Dongcheng was moved!

There's nothing shameful about it. It's a strange thing for a normal man to be unmoved when faced with such a condition from a woman.

Perhaps seeing Zhang Dongcheng's hypocritical coping, Rachel suddenly recalled that she had read some books about Huaxia.

The modesty of Chinese people, in the eyes of Europeans and Americans, is an expression of indifference, and Zhang Dongcheng is obviously covering up his inner thoughts at this moment.

Rachel took a deep breath, walked around the dining table and came to Zhang Dongcheng's side.

"That..." Zhang Dongcheng was embarrassed, and said bravely: "Rachel, listen to me first. The most important thing for you now is to accumulate and improve your acting skills, not rush to transform! Do you understand what I mean? ?”

"Of course I understand, but I hope Smith can help me!" Rachel had already walked in front of Zhang Dongcheng.

"Of course I will help you, we are friends. Isn't it?" Zhang Dongcheng bowed his head insincerely.

The moment Rachel lowered her head, the loose collar immediately exposed the large white and greasy skin in front of him.

Because Rachel went into battle in a vacuum, Zhang Dongcheng was even able to see the two attractive fruits that looked like tender red cherries through the collar.

During this period of time, he has been busy with the affairs of Brokeback Mountain, Zhang Dongcheng has not been with Patricia for a long time, and Victoria and Halliwell have their own jobs. Therefore, Zhang Dongcheng, who had been holding back for a long time, suddenly felt his blood churning under the temptation of Rachel. Heart pounding.

His eyes involuntarily fell on Rachel's alluring body. Slender waist, curvaceous white tender legs, plump and delicate round peaks, and sexy collarbone. She has a pretty face and brown wavy hair that shines in the candlelight.

All this made Zhang Dongcheng feel like he couldn't stop.
