Chapter 88 People You Can't Provoke

Manhattan.

Advertising studio.

Intermission.

Leonardo DiCaprio sat in the nanny car, letting the makeup artist next to him work on his face and retouch his makeup.

When the makeup artist was done, he looked in the mirror and felt that he had recovered quite well, and his skin was much better than before.

Some time ago, he participated in the filming of the movie "Blood Diamond".

As the name suggests, this movie is about diamonds.

According to the director, the reason for filming this movie is that the evil profit chain of diamonds has oppressed the African people.

The director hopes that through this film, the American people will understand the distant African continent and remember the hardships and difficulties of the African people.

Of course, Leonardo doesn't bother to care about whether those black people are doing well or not.

He agreed to participate mainly because he saw the literary and racial attributes of the movie, hoping to touch the Oscar.

There is no way, this is already an obsession of his.

At the Oscars that year, Titanic received 14 Oscar nominations and eventually won 11 awards.

Best Director, Best Editing, Best Cinematography, Best Art Direction...

I won't mention these.

Even the soundtrack won the Best Original Music Award.

But the leading actor of this movie not only did not win the Best Actor, but he didn't even get a nomination.

If he didn't get any nominations, he would feel more balanced.

But the leading actress of the movie, Kate Winslet, was nominated, and she is one year younger than him.

Before, he could still comfort himself by saying that he was young and would have a chance in the future.

But now with the example of Kate Winslet, he really couldn't deceive himself.

In a fit of anger, he simply didn't attend the event and went to a restaurant in New York to enjoy a good meal.

Now thinking about it, it seems a bit inappropriate for him to do so, and it is inevitable that he offended some people.

He has not won anything at the Oscars for so many years, and it is very likely because of this incident.

However, that is all in the past, and it is useless to regret it now.

In order to win the Oscar, he deliberately got rid of his previous style and participated in the movie "Blood Diamond" regardless of his own image.

In order to strive for authenticity, the director chose South Africa as the filming location, which made the actors suffer for a while.

Of course, South Africa is not without advantages. There are many beautiful women there, and they are also very enthusiastic, which left a deep impression on him.

As for why he suddenly thought of this, it was mainly because of the heroine of today's commercial.

Turning his head, Leonardo looked at his agent and suddenly spoke.

"What's the name of the heroine? Oh, yes, it seems to be Candice. Please help me communicate with her and say that I want to treat her to dinner tonight."

The agent shook his head in his heart.

His client has the same old problem again.

White skin, beautiful face and long legs, all Americans know Leonardo's taste.

And the heroine of this commercial just meets these requirements, and she happens to be a blonde supermodel.

It's a double attraction, no wonder Leonardo is attracted.

If it were any other time, he wouldn't mind doing this favor for his client.

After all, he had done a lot of "matchmaking" before.

But today was different.

Today, the heroine would not let her client do whatever he wanted.

"Forget it, Leonardo, that girl already has a boyfriend."

"What's wrong with having a boyfriend?"

Leonardo didn't care, "I still have a girlfriend, what's there to be afraid of?"

His current girlfriend was the one he met when he was filming the movie "Blood Diamond", and they hadn't been dating for long.

However, this is the entertainment industry.

In fact, boyfriends and girlfriends are just like that, and there's no need to take it to heart.

As long as they are not photographed by the paparazzi, everyone can play as they please, and it doesn't matter if they play in turns.

"Don't be stupid, that girl's boyfriend is not an ordinary person, we can't afford to offend him."

The agent was so serious that Leonardo also became serious.

"Not just any ordinary person? Could it be a big director?"

"No."

"Then it must be the producer of a film company?"

"No."

"Who is the big shot in the film industry?"

Leonardo was confused. It was neither this nor that. Who was Candice's boyfriend that would give his agent a headache?

Agent: "None of them. He has nothing to do with the film industry. You know the theme of this commercial. Tommy Vercetti, the owner of this Krusty Krab hamburger restaurant, is Candice's boyfriend."

"Hey, that's it."

Leonardo breathed a sigh of relief.

He thought it was something else. It was just a small boss of a hamburger restaurant.

No mistakes, just a post, content, and book!

At most, he has some money. What can't he afford to offend?

"Hey, don't underestimate the Krusty Krab. It's not just an ordinary hamburger restaurant."

Just by looking at his expression, the agent knew what his client was thinking and quickly persuaded him,

"You've been in South Africa for too long and don't know the news in New York. This Krusty Krab hamburger restaurant is now the most famous restaurant in New York, no, it should be the most famous restaurant in the whole of America.

Many celebrities and politicians have dined here. Even the owner of the White House came here last month and praised the burgers here very much. "

"Really, is there such a thing?"

Leonardo was a little surprised.

Is the world so magical that a majestic president of a big country would stand up for a small hamburger restaurant?

Before he could absorb all the information, his agent dropped another bombshell.

"You remember Sean Combs, the Diddy guy."

"Of course I remember."

As soon as he heard the name, Leonardo had a strange expression on his face, as if there were ants crawling all over his body, and he twisted his body uncomfortably.

"Why do you mention him? Isn't that guy dead?"

When he saw the news in the newspaper that day, he was so happy that he drank several large glasses of wine. He was even happier than winning an Academy Award.

Just why would the agent bring this up?

What does this Diddy have to do with Candice’s boyfriend again?

"I'm telling you, don't say anything outside."

As if worried that someone was eavesdropping, the agent opened the car door and looked outside to make sure there was no one around. He closed and locked the door again, got closer and spoke mysteriously.

"I heard that before the Krusty Krab opened, Diddy was invited to promote it, and he had a conflict with Vercetti because he was chatting up Candice.

Nothing happened at that time, Diddy was just asked to leave the scene.

But a few days later, he was found dead in his apartment.

Although the autopsy report given by the police was a drug overdose, the truth of the matter is, haha. "

The agent didn't say anything further, but Leonardo already understood what he meant.

"If this is the case, we really can't afford it."

He was a little scared.

Like Diddy, didn't he also take a fancy to Candice.

If he hadn't been reminded by his manager, he might have ended up like Diddy if he had gone up to bother him randomly.

The intermission is over.

Filming of commercials resumed.

The on-site staff found that Leonardo suddenly cooperated a lot, almost doing whatever the director said, and he didn't look like he was acting like a big star just now.

Especially Leonardo's attitude towards Candice has become more polite.

It's really confusing.

However, since Leonardo, the biggest star, is willing to cooperate, others do not dare to make mistakes.

It didn't take long for the commercial to be filmed smoothly, even much faster than planned.

The director was also amazed by this and felt that this was the happiest commercial he had ever shot. It would be great if his future work could be like today.

At this moment, on the street outside, a red Ferrari drove quickly and finally stopped at the entrance of the set.

Immediately afterwards, a tall and majestic man in a suit and leather shoes walked down and appeared in public view.
