"Why haven't you come out yet?"

Sitting at the resting place in the first floor lobby of Fox Building, Paula Patton looked at the exit of the elevator with a little anxiety, "Will you be out again?"

On Monday morning, she and her boyfriend Francis Lawrence came to Fox Building in Century City. Twentieth Century Fox had a film project that needed to be directed. Francis Lawrence's agent Kevin Huo Weien recommended him to 20th Century Fox.

Perhaps it was Caa's recommendation that played a role, and 20th Century Fox listed Francis Lawrence as one of the director candidates.

Today, she accompanied Francis Lawrence to Fox Building to participate in the director's interview.

Of course, Paula Patton is just a very ambitious little actor and is not qualified to accompany Francis Lawrence into the interview office of Twentieth Century Fox and can only wait in the lobby on the first floor.

After looking at the time, it was almost eleven o'clock in the morning. There was still no Francis Lawrence in the elevator. Paula Paulton became more and more anxious. She wanted to know what kind of project was Francis Lawrence interviewing?

It’s really not easy for a young actor to climb up in Hollywood.

Paula Patton has a deep understanding of this. He originally caught a new director like Francis Lawrence, hoping that he would take him along for a while. The situation seemed quite good at the beginning. Francis Lawrence won the position of director of a super-large production project like "I Am Legend" and is preparing to seek a supporting actress for her.

Who would have thought that Francis Lawrence, a director, was bullied by the male lead during the preparation and audition process. Not only did her supporting actress lose her, but he even threw away the director himself...

For a while, Paula Patton really wanted to kick Francis Lawrence, but she found out that Caa's famous agent Kevin Huo Weien still had expectations for Francis Lawrence and was about to find a suitable project for him, so she temporarily endured it.

It is always easier to stand out with a director who may have a future than to go around alone.

but……

Paula Patton stared at the exit of the elevator and squinted his eyes. If Francis Lawrence failed this time, there was no need to waste time and feelings on him anymore.

Just when she had such thoughts, Francis Lawrence's figure turned out of the elevator and walked towards the resting place where Paula Patton was. His face was calm, without any surprise or joy. Paula Patton could not see the result of this director's interview.

"Hi, dear."

Seeing Frances Lawrence approaching, Paula Patton immediately stood up, reached out to take his briefcase, pulled open the chair and let Francis Lawrence sit down, and then asked, "Have the interview result been obtained?"

"call……"

Francis Lawrence breathed a sigh of relief, then grabbed Paula Patton's hand and said, "I passed the first interview and I became one of the last three candidate directors."

"Really?" Paula Patton seemed really happy, "Dear, you're amazing! You will definitely take this director!"

Francis Lawrence was a little lacking in confidence and said, "The competitors are very strong, and I don't have the confidence to win!"

Paula Patton held Frances Lawrence's hand hard and said, "I believe in you! You are the best!"

"I will strive for it all." Francis Lawrence looked at Paula Patton with affectionate eyes and said, "For you, I will also win this director!"

Hearing this, Paula Patton subconsciously thought that Francis Lawrence had noticed it, and was a little embarrassed in an instant, not knowing what to say.

However, she was obviously wrong, and Francis Lawrence continued, "This project is like the first one, with the protagonist being a woman."

The embarrassment on Paula Patton's face disappeared instantly, and was replaced by surprise. There was only one voice in his mind: The heroine... The heroine!

"I...I..." Paula Patton adjusted his breathing and spoke smoothly, "Can I be the heroine?"

Francis Lawrence said confidently, "As long as I get the director, I will do my best to help you become the heroine."

Paula Patton is not a little girl. After the huge surprise, he gradually calmed down and asked, "What movie is being prepared for the 20th Century Fox?"

"The sequel to the big movie." Francis Lawrence deliberately kept it a secret.

Paula Patton is even more moved, and sequels of big-selling movies are often attracting much attention.

Francis Lawrence did not let Paula Patton wait for a long time, and said, "The sequel to "Alien vs. Predator."

"Oh." Paula Patton nodded, "I've seen the first part, and the absolute protagonist of the first part is women."

Although she is playing with the alien and the Iron-Dead Warrior, she knows very well that even such a role is very rare for this stage.

She immediately leaned over and kissed Frances Lawrence firmly.

Then, Paula Patton took Francis Lawrence's arm and walked out of the Fox Building together. His intimate and sweet appearance was not obvious at all, and he had the idea of ​​kicking Francis Lawrence off just now.

Before getting on the bus, Francis Lawrence specially bought a premiere magazine. As someone who wants to be the best director, he has always been very concerned about the dynamics of the North American film market.

Paula Patton got into the driver's seat and waited for Francis Lawrence to tie up his seat belt in the co-pilot and started the car to leave Century City.

Not long after the car drove out, she glanced at the side and found that Francis Lawrence was turning around the magazine and stopped, her originally calm face seemed a little ugly.

"Dear." Paula Patton fully interpreted the role of his close lover and asked with concern, "What's wrong?"

Francis Lawrence did not answer immediately, but was silent and stared at the reports in the premiere magazine.

"Although the market has fallen below industry expectations since the start of this year's North American summer season, the long-awaited Pirates of the Caribbean 2: Soul Cave" has a strong edge. This action adventure film starring Johnny Depp, Matthew Horner and Keira Knightley has won the latest North American box office rankings with an absolute advantage."

"According to the film market data released by the North American box office statistics website boxofficemojo.com, the box office of 44 films closed at about US$211.96 million on weekends, up 32% month-on-month. Among them, "Pirates of the Caribbean 2: The Soul Casket" produced and distributed by Disney Pictures has won US$156 million, which is an indelible contribution to the strong rebound of the North American film market..."

Seeing this, Francis Lawrence gently closed the premiere magazine, the Matthew Horner, who led him to leave the crew of "I Am Legend", had just achieved great success.

He is still struggling to find a position, and what about that guy? He must be proud of it?

$156 million, what a terrifying number. Matthew Horner is one of the two protagonists. How many people and companies will be around him?

Paula Patton's voice came at this time, "Dear, what's going on."

Francis Lawrence came back and threw the premiere magazine back, saying, "The Pirates of the Caribbean 2 starring Matthew Horner and Johnny Depp won $156 million in North America's first weekend box office."

"What?" Paula Patton couldn't believe the numbers he heard, "Dear, how many did you say?"

Francis Lawrence repeated, "$156 million."

Paula Patton opened his mouth in surprise, "God! The movie starring Matthew Horner that bastard got such a high first-week box office? God, have you opened your eyes?"

Francis Lawrence was somewhat depressed because he found that the gap between himself and Matthew Horner seemed to be too big.

"Have any other videos ever achieved such a high first-week box office?" Paula Patton asked again.

"No!" As a film director, Francis Lawrence is very convinced of this. "Although I don't like Matthew Horner very much and hate him a little, the film he starred in has set the highest record of the opening day of North American film history, the highest single-day box office record and the highest premiere weekend box office record."

Paula Patton was speechless for a moment, and this series of records sounded amazing.

Francis Lawrence sighed depressedly and said, "If I remember correctly, the film starring Matthew Horner also set a record of over 100 million yuan in two days of release."

"How come he can sell every movie?" Paula Patton was a little angry and couldn't help but shoot the steering wheel. "Why can't he be the unlucky one?"

Matthew Horner made her lose an important supporting actress, and she couldn't like Matthew Horner anyway.

Francis Lawrence also struggled to understand, "Probably... he is really popular with movie fans."

Paula Patton thought of the lost character and couldn't help but say hatefully, "One day he will become unpopular."

Francis Lawrence also wanted to see this day, but knew it was not easy. "Maybe it will have to wait ten or twenty years later." He shrugged helplessly, "Many media say that Matthew Horner is like Tom Cruise, who is very popular in any movie in the 1990s."

"Well." Paula Patton nodded, "I have read similar statements in the newspaper."

The car drove out of Century City and encountered a red light at the intersection. Paula Patton slowly stepped on the brakes. When the car stopped, he turned to look at Francis Lawrence next to him and said, "The last time Spike Lee came to our house to visit, I made a suggestion, which I thought was very good."

Francis Lawrence didn't speak, obviously hesitating.
