Chapter 819: Consumed

In the past nearly ten years, Rachel Weisz, in addition to her career as an actress, has all her thoughts tied to Darren Aronofsky, to a large extent, her work and life are in a relatively simple state, and the whole person is wrapped in the sweetness of love.

Dreams, once disillusioned.

How much she loved before, how much she hates now, how much she has paid before, how much she wants to get back now.

That's why Rachel Weisz approached the person she thought was most likely to help her several times, because she had seen how powerful this person was.

Although much older than Matthew, Rachel Weisz sat on the couch like a knowledge-hungry student, listening attentively, carefully, and carefully to Matthew's every word.

"It's all about people. Matthew is only responsible for putting forward the idea, and how to do it depends on Rachel Weisz's own, "If the crew of "Black Swan" is in chaos and the main creative team has sharp contradictions, the film is more likely to fail. ”

He simply analyzed, "Natalie Portman has just experienced the failure of a big-budget commercial film like "Cloud Atlas", and if the Oscars and independent literary films are also frustrated, her career will definitely fall to the bottom, and Darren Aronofsky ......"

At this point, Matthew hesitated.

Rachel Weisz continued, "Darren Aronofsky's directorial career will also be severely affected. ”

Matthew nodded and said from the perspective of a film company owner, "Whether it is a commercial film or an independent literary film, it is all about making commercial profits after all, and once the film fails, the director and the leading actor bear the brunt." ”

This makes a lot of sense, Rachel Weisz is not difficult to understand, but she is still a little confused, "Natalie Portman and Darren Aronofsky are playing hotly now, and the behind-the-scenes staff of the crew are basically the team that Darren Aronofsky has formed over the years, and most of the leading actors are recommended by Natalie Portman." ”

"So, the key is in the relationship between Darren Aronofsky and Natalie Portman. Matthew said what he envisioned, "As far as I know, Mira Kunis is a very thoughtful person. ”

Rachel Weisz was a little confused and didn't quite understand what Matthew meant.

Matthew explained, "You have to find a way to get Milla Kunis to fight, to fight, to fight...... Director!"

"But Milla Kunis is friends with Natalie Portman. Rachel Weisz said.

Matthew shook his head, pondered for a moment, and said, "Rachel, you and Natalie Portman used to be friends. ”

As soon as these words came out, Rachel Weisz gritted her teeth again, and then sighed, if she was not friends with Natalie Portman, how could she show Natalie Portman the script of "Black Swan"?

Rachel Weisz spoke slowly, "I'll try it some." ”

Matthew thought for a moment and said, "From a man's point of view, since there has been a betrayal, it is not difficult to have another one. ”

Rachel Weisz pondered Matthew's words as she said, "That makes sense, I'll find a way to get them bastards dog-eat-dog." ”

Matthew has a limited understanding of the crew of "Black Swan", and can only put forward a general idea, and how to do it depends on Rachel Weisz herself.

Then again, it's revenge when it's done with your own hands.

Of course, these are only assumptions based on the situation described by Rachel Weisz, and no one can guarantee whether it will be realized.

He is responsible for coming up with the idea, and Rachel Weisz, as the main person, is responsible for implementing it.

As for whether it can be done, it really depends on luck.

If it happens, think about the first and second women plus the director's big tear, it's really more exciting outside the play than in the play.

Rachel Weisz chatted with Matthew for a while, politely declined Matthew's invitation to stay at the manor for lunch, hurriedly said goodbye and left, and as soon as she drove out of the manor gate, she told her personal assistant to book a plane ticket to New York.

Now, she wants money and fame, and it is not too big a matter for her career to be put on hold for a year, even if it will have an impact on the future, it must be put aside temporarily.

Rachel Weisz has made up her mind to go from this year's awards season to next year's awards season with Natalie Portman and Darren Aronofsky.

Matthew had lunch and left the estate for a ride to Warner Studios, where James Win's "Latent" and Patty Jenkins' "The Hunger Games" were both in pre-production, and the two crews were currently auditioning for some roles.

The heroes and heroines of "Latent" have long been finalized, and what is missing from the main actors is the young actor who plays the daughter.

Matthew had previously picked a few suitable candidates and recommended them to James Wing, while also calling Johnny Depp, who returned to Los Angeles wearing Lily Depp after asking for the advice of his daughter and fiancΓ©e.

This afternoon, Lily Depp is going to audition for the crew of "Latent".

Frankly speaking, the other candidates are basically out, as long as Lily Depp's performance can reach the passing line, James Wing will not be stupid enough to veto Johnny Depp's daughter and Matthew's goddaughter.

Also participating in the audition in the afternoon was McKenzie Foy, and Matthew did not go to see Lily Depp and went straight to the audition room.

In the lounge, Mackenzie Foy, like a porcelain doll, sat next to her mother, but her eyes frequently looked at a father and daughter.

It was a middle-aged uncle who looked a little decadent and a little girl of her age.

McKenzie Foy knows the middle-aged uncle, Jack Sparrow, the captain of the famous Black Pearl, and since Johnny Depp is here, according to what he has learned before, he must be accompanied by Lily Depp.

Although she is only nine years old, she debuted at the age of four, and she has been dealing with the entertainment industry since she was sensible, and she has her own understanding of this circle.

Looking at Lily Depp with a round face, Mackenzie Foy pouted, what kind of audition is this, you came here with a plug-in, how can others play?

Someone came in at this time and said a few words to Johnny Depp, and Johnny Depp immediately left with Lily Depp.

In this lounge, only McKenzie Foy and her current two people remained.

McKenzie-Foy saw the door close and said, "Mom, let's go home." ”

The middle-aged woman looked at her curiously, "Honey, we haven't auditioned yet." ”

"It won't work anyway. McKenzie-Foy angrily knocked down the arm of his chair and pouted, "What a waste of time, a waste of feelings!"

The middle-aged woman couldn't help but reach out and touch her head, "You know the result before you audition?"

McKenzie-Foy snorted twice and said, "I'm not a kid who doesn't know anything anymore. She pointed to the door, "It's Johnny Depp and his daughter Lily Depp who just went out, Lily Depp is Matthew Horner's goddaughter, Matthew Horner is the owner of the film's investment company, am I likely to beat Lily Depp?"

"My dear. When the middle-aged woman heard this, she looked at her daughter's serious appearance and said, "You have grown up." ”

McKenzie Foy jumped out of her chair and reached out to pull her mother, "Mom, let's go then." ”

The middle-aged woman shook her head slowly but firmly, "We're not leaving, we're going to audition!"

"Why?" McKenzie-Foy didn't understand.

"Because we can't afford to miss an appointment. The middle-aged woman patiently explained, "Especially since Matthew Horner is here today, we can't let him wait in vain." ”

McKenzie Foy looked up at her mother, her eyes full of doubt.

The middle-aged woman patted her daughter's hand gently, "Not only can we not go, but you have to give your best performance in the audition, and you have to go all out." ”

McKenzie Foy pursed his lips and said with grievances, "Why, I can't get the role again!"

The middle-aged woman smiled and said, "Because there's Matthew Horner in the audition room!" and she accentuated her tone a little, "Honey, you must behave well, you must impress Matthew Horner so that he can remember you, it will be good for us." ”

McKenzie-Foy scratched her head, her mother's words were still a little difficult to understand.

"Behave well. The middle-aged woman said again.

McKenzie-Foy finally nodded, "Okay, I'll prove I'm the best!"

The middle-aged woman breathed a sigh of relief, even if she couldn't get the role of this horror movie, the role of Bella and Edward's daughter in "Twilight" was what she wanted to fight for the most.

With a $1.5 million mini-production, where is the "Twilight" series appealing?

The afternoon passed quickly, Matthew first watched Lily Depp's audition, and then watched McKenzie Foy's audition, and the two little girls stood in front of the camera lens one after another, and it really didn't hurt to compare without comparison.

Judging from the performance alone, Lily Depp, who has not starred in any works before, looks very immature, while McKenzie Foy is much better than her, this girl who is less than ten years old can be called a little drama bone among children.

However, after a brief chat between Matthew and James Wing, James Wing still decided to use Lily Depp, on the one hand, Lily Depp's audition performance was enough to pass the line, he needed to take into account Matthew and Johnny Depp's friendship, and on the other hand, it was also for the sake of the future of the film.

Come to think of it, when it comes to publicity, can the attention that McKenzie Foy and Johnny Depp's daughter attract is of equal magnitude?

James Win would rather spend time in filming to coach Lily Depp.

Matthew also agreed to use Lily Depp, who, anyway, is Johnny Depp's daughter and his goddaughter.

But the little girl named McKenzie Foy also left a good impression on him, McKenzie Foy has a cute and cute energy, and her elf-like appearance is radiant, and her performance at the audition is definitely calm and spicy among child actors.
