Charles felt very confident about Emily Blunt's acting skills and quickly thought of the supporting role in Black Swan being suitable for her.
Very soon, Charles brought the adapted script of Black Swan back to the Malibu Dume Corner Estate and handed it to Emily Blunt.
"It's the screenplay for Darren Aronofsky's new project. Natalie Portman is the lead actress, and the supporting role is also substantial. The Wrestler directed by Darren Aronofsky won the Golden Lion at the Venice International Film Festival this year. He's got skills," Charles explained the script to Emily.
Emily Blunt could handle different styles of film roles. She was a talented actress, and Black Swan's script was indeed a bit challenging!
Director Darren Aronofsky had determined early on that Natalie Portman would be the lead actress in Black Swan.
"Natalie Portman, huh? There's a bedroom scene between her and me. I haven't done that before," Emily Blunt wasn't very famous at that time and didn't focus too much on whether the role was the lead or not.
"Yeah, it's produced by Cross Creek Pictures in collaboration with Capet Pictures for distribution. However, the lead actress's part is the most dazzling," Charles didn't hide anything from Emily Blunt, since the script was mainly written around the lead actress.
Emily Blunt hugged Charles' neck and gave him a kiss, laughing, "It's alright. Natalie Portman has been famous for a long time. How can I compare?"
"Yeah, take some time to practice ballet first. There are quite a few ballet scenes in the movie. Doing it yourself will surely be better than using a body double. Black Swan isn't shooting so soon, so there's still time," Charles smiled and reminded Emily.
If he remembered correctly, Natalie Portman won the Oscar for Best Actress through Black Swan by claiming her body double's work as her own, alongside the heavy promotion by Darren Aronofsky and the crew.
Natalie Portman's award for Black Swan was also a surprisingly successful marketing strategy. As a representative of the Jewish community, Natalie Portman never lacked resources and support in Hollywood!
"Don't worry, I will. I think the script is still being revised," Emily Blunt shook the script in her hand; this wasn't the final draft.
Charles leaned over, pressed Emily Blunt under him, and laughed, "I'm telling you, this role is yours, and no one can take it!"
"Mmm," Emily Blunt tossed the script aside and started kissing Charles...

On December 14th, the 538 members of the U.S. Electoral College cast their votes in the capitals of all 50 states and the District of Columbia, officially electing Barack Obama as the 44th President of the United States and Joe Biden as Vice President.
According to the voting results, Democratic candidate Barack Obama defeated Republican candidate John McCain by 365 votes to 173, matching the results of the November 4th general election.
At the same time, the federal House of Representatives' 435 seats and 37 Senate seats went through successful elections, with most incumbents being re-elected.
California Senator Barbara Boxer stepped down, becoming the Democratic leader and Speaker of the House;
San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom became a California Senator, pairing with Dianne Feinstein as the Senate delegates from California!
On December 17th, Charles Capet arrived in Washington, D.C., the capital of the United States.
In the JW Marriott Hotel suite on Pennsylvania Avenue, Ivanka Trump greeted Charles joyfully.
"Dear, you're just arriving now?" Ivanka helped Charles remove his overcoat and gave him a kiss.
"I just came from Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport. This hotel choice is pretty good," Charles sat on the sofa. The JW Marriott Hotel faced Freedom Plaza, with Pershing Park diagonally opposite.
The hotel was only two blocks from the White House, and it wouldn't take long to walk there.
"So, what brings you to D.C. this time?" Ivanka, now following Charles, had met the next President and some members of Congress, igniting her interest in politics.
"Attending a party event dinner," Charles hugged Ivanka from behind, looking out the window at Freedom Plaza and also admiring the Ellipse and the Washington Monument in the distance.
Charles not only had to meet MPAA Chairman Dan Glickman but also the new Speaker of the House, Barbara Boxer.
"Are you really trying to cultivate my political skills?" Ivanka leaned against Charles, feeling her 32D being grasped, feeling a surge of heat.
Charles blew a breath into Ivanka's ear while unbuttoning her shirt, whispering softly, "Dear, do you know what I'm thinking right now?"
Ivanka half-closed her eyes, her hands wandering, unfastening Charles' belt!
"Hmm, what are you thinking?" Ivanka's tone had a hint of laziness, filled with temptation, completely ignoring her disheveled state.
"Hey, I'm wondering if doing this in the White House, or better yet in the Oval Office, would feel any different?" Charles' imagination ran wild, feeling Ivanka's body temperature rise, as if she had become even more voluptuous.
Given the hotel's room position, they could see the oval-shaped lawn south of the White House but couldn't see the White House itself.
"Oh, is that so? Then if you get a chance, you can ask Mr. Clinton; he surely knows how it feels!" Ivanka laughed after saying that and turned around to kiss Charles.
After all, Mr. Clinton's zipper was famously easy to pull down, as all White House interns knew!
Charles responded to Ivanka's passionate kiss, and soon Ivanka knelt down.
With his mind almost blank, Charles had visions of the Oval Office in his head.
He glanced at the kneeling Ivanka; would he have to wait until she became the First Daughter to realize this dream?
After a while, Charles pulled up Ivanka and turned her to face the window, "Dear, let's enjoy the view of Freedom Plaza together!"
"Hmm, we can also appreciate the Washington Monument."
Ivanka supported herself against the glass, responding without turning her head.
