On an even older office building diagonally opposite Shahai Entertainment, the "Mean Girl" project has rented a studio, and Richard of the production department serves as the production manager, leading several right-hand men to prepare for the crew.

With the start-up funds in place and the script finalized, the rest of the work is ready to begin.

Ronan, as a producer, also came to the crew to decide some important matters, and Kotty Horn, who had just got the script the day before yesterday, also came over.

"Dad said it. Coti Horn said to Ronan: "As long as it doesn't affect my studies, I don't object to participating in the movie." ”

Ronan had already received a call from Alan Horn and said directly: "After the director is in place, you need to attend the audition, and after passing the audition, you will talk specifically about entering the crew." ”

Kotti Horn said: "I know. My ability to play the heroine and the number one villain may not work, but the stupid Karen of the Bad Girls organization should be fine. ”

Mature thinking, smart mind and whether or not you have acting skills are two different things, Ronan still said: "I need to see the results of your auditions." ”

Kotti Horn shrugged, "Okay. ”

She knows something about Hollywood and knows that the bottom line principles that these producers have are not easily broken.

If you really don't have any acting skills at all, it's useless to say that you can break the sky, unless you can bring a large investment to the crew.

"When are the auditions?" asked Kotti Horn.

Ronan thought for a moment and said, "After the director is in place." He said simply: "The director already has a target candidate, and it is estimated that he will audition after the New Year." ”

Kottie Horn nodded, and then asked curiously, "Can you know who the heroine is?"

Before Ronan could answer, production manager Richard knocked on the door and said, "Miss Seyfried and Mrs. Seyfried have arrived." ”

"Let them in. Ronan then asked, "When will Mark Waters arrive?"

Richard glanced at his watch: "An hour later." ”

Ronan said, "When he arrives, let him come directly." ”

After Richard left, Amanda Seyfried and Mrs. Seyfried quickly entered the office.

"Good morning, Mrs. Seyfried, Amanda. Ronan greeted them, pointed to the couch, and said, "Sit down." ”

Amanda responded, sitting on the couch near Ronan's side, and her eyes immediately turned to Kottie Horn's side.

This girl is about her age, not as beautiful as her, but with a very shrewd temperament.

Kotti Horn's eyes also fell on Amanda Seyfried, and she also took a special look, with long blond hair, delicate face, and big eyes that were a little surprising, although her height was born with a hard injury, her body was extremely well proportioned, and she didn't know how to develop, she was simply a petite version of the blonde meat bullet.

Just as Amanda also looked over, the eyes of the two men collided in the air, and there seemed to be a sizzling sound, and then they turned to Ronan's side at the same time.

Ronan didn't notice this, and while looking at the crew's upfront budget, he asked, "Have you read the script I sent over?"

Amanda replied before her mother, "I've seen it." She continued, "Thank you, Ronan. You have prepared such a role for me, and I don't even know how to express my gratitude. ”

Ronan smiled and said, "It's too early for you to thank you. Amanda, there are auditions later, and if you can't pass the audition, I'll have to find someone else for the heroine. ”

Mrs. Seyfried didn't understand the importance of this role to her daughter, and swore that "Ronan, rest assured, Amanda will not disappoint your expectations." ”

is still showing "Hurricane Rescue", although Amanda is the heroine, but there are few scenes, where can she compare to this real heroine?

Amanda smiled very sweetly: "Definitely not." Again, she said, "Thank you, Ronan. ”

Kottie Horn pouted without a trace, what's the use of saying thank you in a place like Hollywood?

For example, she said a lot of good things about Ronan Anderson and Relativity Entertainment in front of her dad.

Ronan added: "The audition should be after the New Year, you guys are ready. ”

Amanda nodded: "I've been taking acting classes in my spare time lately. ”

"It doesn't hurt to learn more. Ronan has known Amanda for several years, and he doesn't have so many scruples about talking: "Haven't you practiced vocal music before? ”

I remember Amanda Seyfried's masterpiece, which is a song and dance film.

At that time, she was once considered one of the most promising actresses in Hollywood, but unfortunately that was her peak, and she has actually been going downhill since then.

After chatting for a while, Kottie Horn took the lead and left, Mrs. Seyfried went to the production manager Richard to set up, and Amanda Seyfried was left in the office to continue to talk to Ronan about the movie and the characters.

Amanda remembered the girl her age who had just left and asked, "Is she also a candidate for the heroine?"

"It's not. Ronan said directly: "Her name is Coti Horn and she will be auditioning for Karen." ”

Amanda nodded slightly, "I haven't seen her before." ”

Ronan smiled: "She's the daughter of Warner Bros. Pictures CEO Alan Horn, and being an actress is just a hobby. ”

Amanda understood this, and the girl should not compete with her.

A call came in at this time, and after Ronan answered it, he chatted a few words, and after hanging up, he said to Amanda, "We'll talk another day." ”

Amanda knew that Ronan was busy with work and said, "Okay. ”

When she went out, she happened to see a middle-aged man about to enter the office, and the man was a little familiar, as if he was a director.

Probably the director Ronan was interviewing with, right? Amanda guessed.

Ronan met in the office with Mark Vorster, a director recommended by the CAA, who had already directed three previous films, all of which were related to the theme of youth idols.

It can be said that it is a very suitable director candidate.

This is not the first time the two sides have met, and Mark Vorster has previously gotten the script from Ronan.

The director who can be recommended by CAA is certainly not an ordinary person, and he must have some ability.

Mark Vorster also understands the truth that opportunities are rare, he used to make small productions, and he has never been exposed to films with an investment of tens of millions of dollars, which can make his career take a big step forward.

"I've made a few teenage movies and I've always been very interested in the world of bad girls. Mark Vorster is also showing Ronan his strengths: "I've always been in touch with Rosalind Wiseman, oh...... Yes, she is the founder of the Empowerment Program, a nonprofit organization that aims to stop violent crime and school violence among youth. ”

Ronan has read Mark Vorster's information, and he has also let Shahai Entertainment know that he is telling the truth.

Mark Vorster added: "I think the girls who find ways to destroy other people's lives in the dark are smart, not the big-breasted ones that are portrayed in traditional films, and in my opinion, they are very funny, I mean, the way girls fight each other is very witty and complex." ”

Ronan nodded: "There is some truth in what you said. ”

If you just have big breasts, you can't be the head of the big sister in school.

Mark Vorster seemed to be inspired, and continued: "I think the writers know the girls very well, and the script is written realistically, showing the fierce competition between American middle schools and girls very realistically. ”

He is very serious: "Both boys and girls go through many stages before they discover themselves, and the environment in school is not helpful. Take the heroine as an example, she faces two worlds: one is the world of learning, with the purpose of being a good student, and the other is the world of girls, and the most important thing is to be endearing. I think every girl who is in middle school, has gone through and is going to go through middle school will resonate with the story of the film. ”

Mark Vorster further analyzes the character: "The heroine grew up in isolation abroad, so the concept of living in a modern civilization is completely absent from her mind. So she fell into the madness of a public high school in the Midwest, which was harsh for her, and she finally discovered her dark side, which she never knew she had such a nature. ”

"Well, that's a good point. Ronan closed the other party's plan, stood up and shook his hand: "Director Vorster, welcome to this project." ”

Mark Vorster quietly clenched his fist, then shook Ronan's hand vigorously: "It's an honor to work with Relativity Entertainment. ”

Ronan added: "I'll ask production manager Richard to negotiate with your agent as soon as possible, you go and say hello to Richard." ”

Mark Vorster said excitedly, "I'll go over here." ”

With the director of the film confirmed, the preparation of this project is undoubtedly a big step forward, and Ronan returns to the back of his desk and continues to look through the list of actors who have already signed up for the set.

Among them, I saw a lot of familiar names, such as Lindsay Lohan, who had been directly rejected by him in his heart, such as the former villain heroine Rachel McAdams, such as Liz Kapan and so on.

Ronan took out a few familiar names and gave them to the casting producer of the crew, asking him to send out audition invitations to the actors.

In addition, the crew also invited several costume designers and fashion stylists.

Ronan approached production manager Richard in the afternoon and talked about it: "Fashion is an important part of a girl's life, and the use of clothing in the film should be paid special attention, not only to show the current American middle school culture with clothing, but also to reflect the personal style and mood of each character." ”

Richard said: "Once Mark Vorster's contract is negotiated, I'm going to look for the right man. ”

There's no shortage of professionals in Hollywood, and Ronan was worried about not finding the right costume stylist.

The film project was quickly pushed into the fast lane by Ronan.
