Chapter 1295 Long Ridge Mountain
"What resources?"
Beatrix said, "I heard it's Garth Tovar's last work, 'Long Ridge Mountain.' You know, Garth is already 80 this year, and he announced this would be his last film as a director. The script and plot are quite good. I don't know about the box office, but it's definitely going to win awards. You know, Garth's films always win awards."
Rachel, although not very familiar with the entertainment industry, had heard of Garth.
She had even seen one of Garth's films, 'Come Out,' which was very inspirational and won several international awards.
"So, Penelope is definitely going to win an award?"
Beatrix said, "The lead actress for 'Long Ridge Mountain' was also offered to Natalie. At the time, she had to turn it down due to scheduling conflicts, but Garth was willing to wait six months for her to start filming. This time, they directly chose Penelope."
Natalie didn't think much of it.
Although it was a pity not to collaborate on this film, a movie needs mutual fulfillment.
If it's not meant to be, it's not meant to be. One shouldn't be too greedy and want everything, or nothing will be done well in the end.
She spoke calmly, with a faint smile on her face, "It's normal for things to change if there's no contract. Even if there is a contract, as long as there's a strong background, they can replace people at the last minute. Penelope's image is also very suitable for the lead role in this film."
Anouk said, "No wonder they want to cut her scenes. If she can get 'Long Ridge Mountain,' there's no need to play a supporting role in the next film. It seems Finnian is really good to her. I heard Finnian got her this opportunity."
Beatrix, who knew a lot of gossip from being around Natalie, glanced at Natalie and then lowered her voice, "Penelope and Finnian have that kind of relationship."
Rachel smelled the scent of gossip, "What kind of relationship?"
Anouk leaned in, "Is it that kind of relationship?"
Natalie looked at them and couldn't help but laugh, "What 'this' and 'that'?"
Beatrix laughed, "It's the lover and benefactor relationship, or to put it nicely, boyfriend and girlfriend."
This kind of thing is very common in the entertainment industry, so no one was very surprised.
Beatrix said, "I heard some gossip at PrimeTime Media. A lot of people in the entertainment industry are pursuing Penelope, but she turned them all down. There was even a rich second-generation who offered three hundred million dollars to invest in Penelope's film just to have dinner with her, but she refused. Because of that, the rich guy even hired some marketing media to smear Penelope, saying she was pretending to be aloof."
"Everyone has their own way of living. The entertainment industry is a tough road. Penelope has had a rough journey to get to where she is now. Since she's not doing the next film for 'My Heart, Bright Moon,' we might as well contact Finnian and change the supporting actress for the next film. Change the character and the role to create a new image."
"That's what I think too. After all, if you change the actor for the same role, there will inevitably be comparisons, and the popularity will drop. Finding another actor won't make the other party happy either."
Natalie played her card, "I think I'm going to win."
Rachel kept shouting, "Why is my luck so bad tonight! Natalie has won two rounds in a row!"
Natalie spread her hands, "Come on, you know the drill."
Rachel, having lost two rounds in a row, had to lean her head over. She pleaded, "Natalie, be gentle."
Natalie lightly flicked her finger on Rachel's forehead.
