"Good evening, Jodie Foster," Jodie Foster greeted Charles with a smile.
"Good evening, Jodie," Charles admired the talented actress from Hollywood.
However, he had also witnessed Mel Gibson's bluntness. Was Charles angry?
Of course, but he couldn't argue with Mel Gibson here.
This was a public occasion, and Charles didn't want to be laughed at or have gossip newspapers write nonsense about him.
After exchanging glances with Mel Gibson, who had turned around, for a few seconds, he shook his head slightly and walked past Mel Gibson.
Several people attending the party around them also held their breath, after all, one was a Hollywood action superstar, and the other was a rising young wealthy producer in Hollywood.
Everyone thought that the hot-headed Charles Capet would surely lose his temper and do something, but he only gave Mel Gibson a few glances.
"Jodie, I wasn't wrong, Charles Capet shouldn't be making this movie!" Mel Gibson said with a frown.
Jodie Foster, a close friend of Mel Gibson, kindly reminded him, "brokeback mountain, which is currently showing, has received countless praises and is a strong contender for the Oscar for Best Picture. You shouldn't disparage it like this in public."
"I was really worried that Charles would lose his temper and argue with you. You have enough troubles as it is, you shouldn't be making new enemies, especially a talented filmmaker like Charles Capet!"
Mel Gibson stubbornly said, "I'm fine, Hollywood needs me. the passion of the christ did change my life a bit, but I can create profits for film companies."
"And I've taken on Disney's film project, Apocalypto, and agreed to direct this action-adventure film about the Mayans!"
Jodie Foster sighed inwardly. Her old friend always liked to speak carelessly. Although criticizing a movie was nothing.
But this time, it was heard directly by the film's developer, and Charles Capet's current momentum should not be underestimated.
Jodie Foster was now very worried that Mel Gibson would offend some power alliances or groups due to his uncontrolled speech.
After Charles entered the banquet, he started chatting with Doug Liman, the director of mr. & mrs. smith.
"Post-production is estimated to take another month, and the test screening feedback is also good. Pitt and Jolie's performances are really wonderful!" Doug Liman said, glancing at Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, who were chatting and laughing in the distance.
Charles laughed. The relationship between Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie was almost public now, but neither of them had admitted it yet.
At the Cannes Film Festival, although Brad Pitt brought Jennifer Aniston with him and did not meet Angelina Jolie, who was also in Cannes, there were many newspaper reports.
And even earlier, at the premiere of the film troy, Angelina Jolie attended the premiere with her adopted son.
Rumors had been flying around for a long time. Charles also glanced over there. Angelina Jolie's first two husbands both married her after being engaged, and married male actors she worked with often had scandals with her.
"I believe with Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, our movie won't lack Popularity!"
Anyway, it's a scumbag with a mistress. Charles doesn't care about these at all. Besides, are there any good people in Hollywood?
Doug Liman nodded with a smile, "Universal is also paying great attention to it!"
A moment later, Donna Langley also came over and joined the conversation.
"Charles, brokeback mountain is an excellent movie. It's normal for some people to oppose it!" Donna Langley knew what had happened at the entrance of the banquet hall and came to comfort Charles.
Charles smiled and said, "Hollywood, when did it become forbidden for others to say my movie is bad?"
"If I get angry over these things, then I won't be able to make a living in Hollywood."
Doug Liman didn't know what had happened but felt that the two had something to talk about, so he left first.
Donna Langley beckoned a waiter, and after she and Charles each took a glass of champagne, she smiled and said, "He is a Catholic conservative and has a great prejudice against movies like brokeback mountain."
"However, he also has a lot of trouble now, and I believe that also gives him some headaches!"
Charles, of course, knew that the passion of the christ had exposed the scars of the jewish people, although it had offended many Jewish forces. But Mel Gibson was still operating film projects as usual. This year, in addition to the passion of the christ, four other films he participated in were released, because he was indeed capable.
"Hollywood can make one famous overnight, and it can also make one fall overnight, right!" Charles also smiled meaningfully.
Donna Langley nodded with a smile. Greedy jewish people also have a bottom line, because that is their foundation. If it is touched, a Mel Gibson can be completely abandoned.
However, Charles now felt that Mel Gibson's future insults to the jewish people were indeed sincere. After a few more drinks, he spoke without thinking at all.
"How is the departed project going? Have the director and actors been decided?" Donna Langley then inquired about another film they were collaborating on.
"I've talked with Ridley Scott. The male leads will be Brad Pitt and Christian Bale. Jack Nicholson will still play the role of the gang boss, and other actors will be decided based on auditions!"
"Brad Pitt, didn't he refuse Martin before?"
"This time he plays Billy, an undercover police officer in the gang. In Martin's script, Billy has far more screen time than the other protagonist, Colin. This time we have changed some settings. Although we have increased some of Colin's screen time, the first male lead is still Billy. The role of Billy is relatively challenging, and I believe Brad Pitt will agree!"
Charles told the truth. Brad Pitt didn't need to highlight Leonardo DiCaprio, so he should have no objections.
"Christian Bale, his performance in a Spanish thriller released earlier this year was memorable!" As expected of Donna Langley, she even knew about this movie.
"That's right, in The Machinist, Bale lost almost 60 pounds, and then regained his weight when filming batman begins. He is very serious about acting!" Charles had indeed not seen The Machinist, but he had specifically researched it and knew about the movie.
Donna Langley glanced around, then patted Charles and smiled, "My presence here is making many young ladies afraid to approach and chat. I won't disturb your young people's conversation!"
After saying that, Donna Langley walked away.
